the Glenback Program.

Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenbeck Program.

We're glad you're here.

There's a lot to talk about.

The crisis at the border, which is definitely not a crisis, until you hear the numbers.

We have the official numbers now

from an inside source.

We're going to share those with you.

A little shocking coming up in just a second.

Also, the oppression of people just continues.

Oh my gosh,

the oppression, especially New York Times reporters get.

Oh my gosh,

sometimes

people say bad things about them on Twitter.

Oh,

why would you do that?

These great reporters out there doing essential work, you know, they're criticizing everybody and everything that disagrees with them, but don't disagree with them and call them out on it on Twitter.

Oh, it makes me sad.

The oppression continues.

We begin in 60 seconds.

All right.

Yeah, I want to tell you about my dog, dog Uno.

He is, he's the best.

He has been part of the family now for about eight years, and we care about him.

We love him.

And I am delighted that I no longer have to stand motionless there by his bowl while he casually decides whether or not he's going to eat that day.

You know, and did I move?

Why are you moving?

I was interested in my food.

Then you moved.

Oh my gosh.

Started feeding him rough greens.

And when I gave him rough greens, all of a sudden, everything changed for Uno.

Get a free bag of rough greens right now just for your dog to try it out.

If your dog loves it as much as my dog does, you are set.

He is, he's, he races to his bowl now.

He almost knocks people over.

When he hears the bag of rough greens coming, his tail just starts wagging.

That's how much he loves it.

But let me tell you, because it has probiotics and all of the stuff that you're supposed to have, you know, you are supposed to have, your dog's supposed to have it too.

All the really great stuff that they're missing, especially in kibble food,

Oh, my gosh.

Now, I don't want to say anything bad at all about the president.

I mean, I don't want to say anything bad about

anybody involved with things that I don't agree with.

In fact, I probably shouldn't say that that I don't agree with them because that might, you know, be harassment.

They might feel bad if I say those things.

But let me just give you the numbers of what is happening on our border.

According to sources, HHS is expected to reach its shelter capacity later this month.

And the agency is planning to change its coronavirus protocols to make room for an additional 2,000 kids.

In January, our Border Patrol caught 7,300 unaccompanied minors crossing the border illegally.

That's the highest number of arrests in the month of January in at least a decade and up from the number in December of 4,500.

Now they have reduced the number of available beds for unaccompanied children by 40%

to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

It now has about 7,700 available beds, including those at emergency facilities.

And at the end of February, HHS had 7,100 children in custody.

On February 23rd alone, more than 400 migrant kids were referred to the HHS shelter.

For contrast, the 30-day referral average at the peak of the 2019 crisis was under 300, 294.

Based on information on the ground,

the Border Patrol is seeing the average daily flow

soar to more than 3,500

people a day.

That's up from 2,000 in January.

Border Patrol's 21-day average has risen to nearly 3,000 every single day.

We don't have the February numbers yet, but sources tell this program that February could see 100,000 people coming across our border in one month.

They have already encountered 300,000 illegal migrants since October.

The numbers are rising.

This does not include the February numbers.

For context, in the first four months of fiscal year 2020, the Border Patrol encountered 164,000.

Let me say that again.

The first four months of fiscal year in 2020, 164,932.

We already have

300,000 illegal immigrants in the same time period, and we don't have February's numbers quite yet.

I don't know.

I think we might have a problem here.

We have a problem when Mexico steps to the plate and says, hey, guys, you're causing all kinds of problem here

with your border policies.

Remember how horrible it was?

Oh my gosh, Mexico was so upset with us.

Oh, no, wait, they were cooperating because they had a problem on their southern border.

Everybody was trying to get through Mexico to come to the United States, and they were tearing down the fences that they have on their southern border

and things were getting better and better and now

because the tensions are

increasing

and we have now cut off the the

the

the help we were giving Central America to stop the flow into the United States, They see now Biden as a migrant president, and they feel like they're going to reach the United States, and they're going to get in.

The problem is, according to Mexico, quote, we need to work together to regulate the flow because business can't be tackled from one day to the next.

Apparently, based on testimonies and intelligence gathering,

Gangs are diversifying methods of smuggling and winning clients as they eye the U.S.

measures that will incentivize migration.

The Mexicans are now worried about encouraging migration that will support gangs and violence as those gangs streamline the legalization process

and the United States suspends the Trump-era Accords.

One Mexican official, familiar with migration developments, spoke on the condition of anonymity, said organized crime began changing its modus operandi from the day Biden took office.

They now say that the mobs and the gangs have unprecedented levels of sophistication.

Migrants, he continues, have become a commodity, arguing that they're now as valuable as drugs for gangs.

Higher concentrations of migrants in border areas have encouraged gangs to recruit them as drug mules and to kidnap others for money.

Both Mexican and U.S.

policy should be more clear-cut as to not spur illegal immigration, the Mexican official told Reuters.

To avoid detection, migrants now often travel in small groups instead of caravans and increasingly follow more dangerous, less well-trodded routes.

Communicating via social media such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and YouTube, smugglers update migrants on impending checkpoints, when freight trains that they can jump on pass and where to stay and how to navigate immigration laws gee they're organizing on Facebook and YouTube and Instagram and WhatsApp

hmm

maybe somebody should look into the legal activity elect legal activity that is being allowed to organize on those applications.

To ease their passage, smugglers advise Central American clients to register complaints with authorities saying they've been victims of extortion or for young men that they face death threats from street gangs.

Migrants are being told to bring children along to make it easier.

Mexican intelligence shows smugglers' transit costs

varied wildly in the last few months.

One assessment said an unaccompanied Central American minor could secure passage to the U.S.

border for about $3,200.

If you're from Africa, the rate is $20,000.

If you are Asian, you will pay much more than that.

One evaluation set out concerns that there could be significant influx in migrants from outside the region, the Caribbean, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

Hmm.

Even as Mexicans hail Biden's cancellation of work on Trump's border wall, some officials say in Mexico that it's time Mexico returns to an idea the government raised in 2019, improving the infrastructure along its own southern border with Guatemala.

Mexico spends more on every new wave of migrants that it would cost.

We have to do this now.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden has very little to say about it.

Well, Joe Biden has very little.

Is he doing a press conference tonight, Stu?

Absolutely not, Clenn.

That would be something he is not very interested in doing.

In fact, he's just set a record, a record for the new administration.

Congratulations to the Biden administration.

The longest time to do a press conference in a century.

Good job, Joe.

Yeah, yeah.

He's smoking it.

Now, he's at, I think, 50 days, something like that now.

The previous record was 33 days,

which was George W or George H.W.

I can't remember.

One of the bushes.

Anyway, so they're saying he may, and I I want you to get excited about this, he may

be able to get a press conference done by the end of the month.

Yeah.

Wow.

I mean, it's only another 20 days.

Wow.

So he might be able to put that together.

I thought he was taking questions tonight.

He's having his first prime time, I know, but we have primetime address.

I thought he was supposed to take questions after that.

Now, he may take a question or two.

I don't know.

I will say, you know, the standard here, though, is formal press conference, which every president does almost immediately after they get started to set the agenda and talk about the things they want to talk about.

That's the last thing Joe Biden wants to do.

He does not want anyone to be aware of what he's doing.

And of course, he doesn't also want to be in front of people where he might look like his faculties are failing him.

So

let me play this.

This is California Representative Mark Garcia.

He has been twice elected in the 25th district of North Los Angeles.

He just did an interview on Larry O'Connor's Examining Politics podcast.

I want you to hear what this congressman, who is known to be gentle, quiet, not a flamethrower,

here's what he said on that podcast.

Listen.

And, Congressman, to the question as to whether President Biden is lying or he just doesn't quite understand, yesterday he was attending a ceremony of two women being promoted, one in the Air Force, one in the Army, to four-star general status.

A great moment, actually, for a United States military and certainly for those two great women.

And he seemed to lose his train of thought with regard to the name of the Secretary of Defense, and for that matter, the title of the Secretary of Defense, and also the name of the Department of Defense.

Listen.

I just want to thank you both, and I want to thank

the former general.

I keep calling him general, but

the guy who runs that outfit over there.

I want to make sure we thank the Secretary for all he's done to try to implement what we just talked about.

Are you concerned about this?

Are there conversations going on in Congress right now as every day we seem to see another incident like this?

Yeah, I've been concerned about this since day one, especially in this case, we brought the general in that he's talking about on a waiver because he had been on active duty for less than you know less than 10 years since he assumed his post as SECDAF.

So this is very concerning now that he's all of a sudden forgetting not only the circumstances, but the human being that he's appointed.

This, to me, in my opinion, and I mean this as gracefully and tactfully as I can, I think we are seeing nationally one of the most grievous examples of elderly abuse in our nation.

This president is not fit for office.

I don't really believe he understands what he's doing.

And he's got a political machine behind him that's propping him up.

And it scares the hell out of people like me who value our national security and really value making sure that we're doing the right thing for our country.

And we're being led right now by an individual who doesn't know the name of his own staff members in public.

And look, we all make mistakes once in a while.

We all have gaps, public speaking gaps.

This is well beyond this.

And frankly, it's sad to watch.

It's dangerous, in my opinion, to our nation, and we do deserve better.

All right, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.

You know, I wish I knew then what I know now.

How many times a day have you said that?

Last night we did a great show on our Wednesday night special.

It's available.

If you're not a subscriber, you can find it on our YouTube page, Blaze TV YouTube page.

It's my Wednesday night special, and it was on the great reset of the American story.

And there is a concerted effort to change everything.

I mean,

you know, I think of that phrase that

Michelle Obama said over and over and over again.

It is, it's now here.

Now they set this transformation into motion, but that transformation is now here.

The most transformative president is going to be Joe Biden, historically speaking, even in just the first 100 days.

And he's not done yet.

And she said, we have to change our history.

We have to change our language.

We have to change the way we speak to one another.

All of that has been changed.

Listen.

And Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices.

We are going to have to change our conversation.

We're going to have to change our traditions, our history.

We're going to have to move into a different place.

So

David Flynn, he's a high school football coach in Massachusetts.

And he's been the school district's coach for nearly a decade.

And he was just fired because he raised concerns about the use of critical race theory in his seventh grade daughter's curriculum.

Now he's suing them.

The superintendent is being sued, the high school principal

and the high school athletic director for violating his First Amendment rights to speak out.

This is in the

First Amendment.

It's not a right just of free speech.

It's a right to redress and demand answers from your government.

This is a government school.

They fired him for saying, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

What are you doing with critical race?

He went in, his seventh grade daughter's history teacher, he went in and was talking to him or her

and

then he asked for a meeting with the school committee challenging the World Geography and Ancient History 1 curriculum.

It was changed without notification or review by the parents.

And he complained, and his complaint included coursework on politics, race, gender, equality, diversity.

And he said they're not suitable for 12 to 13 year olds.

In the teaching, the class material said that all police officers are risks to black people and all black males are risks to white people.

The lawsuit describes one of the daughter's assignments.

She was asked to consider various risk factors and mitigating factors that two people, one identified as white and the other identified as black, might use to assess each other on a city street.

Included among the various factors were skin color, gender, race, age, physical appearance, and attire.

Black, aggressive body language, in the wrong neighborhood were among the risk factors purportedly assessed by the person identified as white.

White and police officer were among the risk factors purportedly assessed by the person identified as black.

We are teaching each other to hate.

They are indoctrinating our children to hate.

There is no clearer clarion call for you to get involved than this.

I want you to go to Glenbeck.com and there's all kinds of resources of groups that you can join, how you can get involved in your local school board, but you must stand up.

And if the teachers don't stand with you, I don't care how much you love that teacher, how kind that teacher, but if that teacher won't stand up against this kind of stuff, they're part of the problem.

And you need to speak up against them as well.

This is the Glenback program.

I'm going to show you how to do that here in just a second.

First, let me tell you about Relief Factor.

If you are living with pain, you're living with constant and severe pain.

I know, it sucks the life right out of you.

I can tell you, I felt that for a very long years.

I wasn't myself.

Pain is usually caused by inflammation in our joints, and I am here to tell you that it'll hit you like a ton of bricks and turn everything you do throughout your day into a difficult chore.

There is no light at the end of the tunnel after a while.

Well, let me give you some light.

It's called Relief Factor.

Relief Factor, when I started taking it, it took me about three weeks before I started to see a difference.

And I stopped taking it because I thought, ah, it's just my, that's just my mind.

I'm just, I'm thinking there's a difference.

Oh no, there was a huge difference.

And then the longer I took it, the more and more all of that pain went away.

70% of the people who try Relief Factor go on to buy more.

So try the three-week quick start trial pack for $19.95.

You're going to know if it works within three weeks.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Coming up in an hour from now, 60 minutes, I'm going to introduce you to a couple from San Francisco.

I don't know, we didn't really ask, but seeing you know their social media, they seem pretty liberal.

But they were really horrified by what the school board in San Francisco was doing and not doing, not reopening schools, but instead trying to rename all of the schools.

They decided that they were going to go to a school board meeting and listen in.

And they did.

And what they heard, they were horrified by.

I'm going to let them tell the story.

But they organized a little group of people who said, we want the schools open and we want this nonsense to stop.

They're liberals.

They even saw that things were out of control.

You don't have to be, I mean,

just because you're a liberal doesn't mean you have, you you know, checked your brain at the Marxist

coat closet.

They have organized and they have actually changed the course of their school board there in San Francisco.

We're going to talk to them and I think you're going to find them to be

really

inspiring because that's what we all have to do.

We all have to get involved.

We don't all agree on the same things, but there are some poisons that are being taught in our school, and our school board usually doesn't reflect the community.

You know, small people with a big agenda that they're going to impose.

And the stories we're hearing from school boards,

it's quite amazing how people are being treated when they dare question their school board or their schools.

I just told you a story about a football coach that

lost his job.

He turned

their whole athletic department around over a 10-year period.

He questioned the critical race theories and some of the other theories that are being taught to his 12-year-old girl, 12-year-old daughter.

What happens?

They fire him.

Other school boards are doubling down as well.

School districts and teachers are doubling down.

This is

your chance to change something.

You can do it.

You're not alone.

There are people that might disagree with you on who to vote for.

There are people that might disagree with you on a lot of politics, but there's a lot of agreement on this.

I want to tell you that our education, and I showed this to you last night on our Wednesday night broadcast, and I told you, if you hadn't heard at least a quarter of the stories that I told, at least a quarter, and that's really being

generous.

If you haven't heard at least a quarter of the stories I told last night,

you don't know American history.

And if you don't know American history, I guarantee you, your kids are way off the rails.

My kids get off the rails.

If I'm not policing it, they're off the rails.

Now, I want to show you what can be done if you know how to look for original sources.

And also,

if you know the tricks of the trade.

History was being changed by the progressives really beginning in the 1920s.

That's when a real concerted effort was put out to change history.

And what they did is they would print things with opinions and they wouldn't footnote.

Now, back in the 1920s, footnotes were not as big of a deal, but they wouldn't footnote.

We had gone from original sources

and eyewitnesses to things to people's opinions, scholars' opinions, and then they just started quoting each other as if that backed it up.

But each book would not have the footnotes.

They were quoting someone else.

And then that person was quoting someone else.

So let me give you an example of this.

This came from Nick Geyer.

He's a fellow minister

in the conservative Presbyterian church

and he had a problem with Peter Lilback's book, Sacred Fire.

And he says a large number of us are embarrassed by his poor historical methodology.

What Peter Lilback did in Sacred Fire was just take all of the writings of George Washington and compile them.

Just take all of the things that he ever said, he ever uttered, and compile them.

So I don't know exactly how you get that wrong.

Seems like a pretty good approach, I think.

Yeah, it does.

Thanks to Glenn Beck's fawning promotion, an obscure self-published book on George Washington's religion has become a bestseller on Amazon.com.

Now, this happened a long time ago.

Beck enthused, it discredits all of the scholars.

It's the best book on faith and the founding I've ever read.

But did Beck actually read this huge tome?

Yeah, I know.

I don't know.

You can't read, can you?

You're still working on that, but you'll get there.

It's almost 1,200 pages.

I know, I know.

The only 1,200-page book that I've ever read was this one and

Les Miserab.

And Les Miserab was worse.

Was that 1,200 pages?

1,200 pages.

Yeah.

It was 1,200 pages.

And that was harder because it was all story of 1,200 pages.

This was, as he points out, 500 pages of

end notes and footnotes.

So I didn't read the 500 pages of footnotes.

You know, as a page turner, yes, it is.

Lilback really has to stretch the evidence and indulge in a lot of speculation to make Washington an Orthodox Trinitarian Christian.

Here's the essence of his argument.

Angelicans are Orthodox Christians.

Washington was an Angelican, therefore, Washington was an Orthodox Christian.

No, that's not his argument.

Thomas Jefferson rejected the divinity of Christ and the Trinity, but he was a lifelong member of the Anglican Church.

This fact leads us to believe that Lilbach's major premise is obviously false.

Well, first of all, no, he did not reject

Christ.

He's the author of the book, The Teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.

It's a very important book and one that is twisted by scholars, but it wasn't twisted in

Jefferson's time.

Everybody knew exactly what it was.

He goes on, Washington's diaries show how frequently he dishonored the Sabbath.

We learn in one entry that he could have collected his rents on Sundays, but he declined because the people living on his land were apparently very religious.

This is the real, honest George.

The weakest arguments in the book are the ones devoted to proving Washington believed in a deity of Christ and the Trinity.

In all of his

huge writings,

huge collections of writings.

No, you can read, but you can't speak.

Yeah, I know.

Geez.

Only once does he speak of Jesus.

This single incident, a speech to the Delaware Indians, was most likely written by an aide more orthodox than he.

So, in other words, this aide took the most respected man to ever live, in their opinion, at that time,

somebody who was so honorable and changed his words because they thought it was a little more important.

The aide did that.

With so little evidence to work with, Lilbach is forced to make some.

Basically, say this is like the Ron Burgundy of

Founding Fathers, who's just like reading the prompter.

Like, these aren't words I mean.

Yes, they're different than my actual beliefs, but some aide altered them, so therefore I'm going to read them.

That's the premise here?

Yes.

Got it.

So now listen to what he says.

Scholars at Mount Vernon.

Scholars at Mount Vernon.

State Washington's diary show no church attendance by anyone in the family after they returned to Mount Vernon at the end of his presidency.

In stark contrast to Washington, Jefferson, after his retirement, rode all the way to Charlottesville to church.

In a recent biography of Washington, Joseph J.

Ellis, in a recent biography of Washington, Joseph J.

Ellis describes the scene at Washington's death.

There were no ministers in the room, no prayers uttered, no Christian rituals offered the solace of everlasting life.

Benjamin Rush, who is a founding father, reported to Thomas Jefferson

upon leaving office, Washington met with a group of clergy who submitted a number of questions for him to answer.

Since he had never made any public affirmation of Christianity, one of the questions was whether or not he was a Christian.

Washington very kindly answered all of the questions except for that one.

And And then historian Paul Bowler concludes, if Washington was a Christian, he was surely a Protestant of the most liberal persuasion.

Okay, so who does he quote?

He quotes Benjamin Rush saying that George Washington didn't answer that question.

But

you have to speculate what the answer was.

Everything else he quotes, he quotes diaries.

in one place, and then he quotes, what, five different modern historians.

So let me answer this.

George Washington has some hundred volumes of published writings, his own writings.

Over the past 250 years, several hundred biographies have been written about him.

Yet to emphasize his point, Geyer chooses to cite an anonymous review of Lilbach's book from an unnamed modern pastor.

Since Geyer seems to be interested in the opinion of pastors, perhaps he should consider what numerous pastors who personally knew Washington wrote about his faith.

Again, I don't have to go to modern scholars.

What I do is I look to the people who knew him.

Virginia pastor John Leland was not only familiar with George Washington, but he also worked closely with James Madison and Thomas Jefferson on religious liberty issues.

He knew him.

He pinned a 56-stanza poem about George Washington titled Washington and Christ, praising the character of the two.

Reverend

Henry Muhlenberg, the father of one of Washington's generals, also the father of the Speaker of the House when Washington was president, declared of Washington that he respects God's word, believes in the atonement through Christ, and bears himself in humility and gentleness.

Now, you got all those scholars, modern-day scholars, but I just listed just two people who knew the man.

He was also active in several neighboring churches in his lifetime.

Lee Massey, a church leader or pastor of the Pohick Church, where Washington served on the board, testified at the time, I never knew such a constant attendant on church as Washington.

He greatly assisted me in my pulpit labors.

Reverend Yuzal Ogden, rector of the Trinity Church, where Washington frequently worshiped, affirmed his faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was unshaken, and and he was careful to venerate the precepts and public institutions that holy and divine religion he professed.

So it wasn't just pastors.

I mean, I know you've got, you know, some scholars from today,

but John Marshall, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, who had been a military aide to Washington during the Revolution, avowed that Washington, quote, was a sincere believer in the Christian faith and a truly devout man.

Jeremiah Smith, a soldier in the Revolution who served in Congress for six years during Washington's presidency, asserted that Washington had all the genuine mildness of Christianity with all its force.

He was neither ostentatious nor ashamed of his Christian profession.

And then there was the testimony of Washington's own family members.

Two of Washington's grandchildren, Nellie Park

Custis and George Washington Park Custis.

They were adopted into the Washington household after the death of their father.

They spent nearly two decades with George and Martha in Mount Vernon.

The grandson testified on Sundays, unless the weather was uncommonly severe, the President and Mrs.

Washington attended divine service at Christ Church, and in the evening, the President read to Mrs.

Washington in her chamber a sermon or some portion of the sacred writings.

The granddaughter personally witnessed Washington's religious practices, both private and public.

When the Reverend Gerald Sparks, President of Harvard and the editor of the first published edition of the writings of George Washington, asked Nellie about Washington's faith, she said, I should have thought it was the greatest heresy to doubt his firm belief in Christianity.

His life, his writings prove that he was a good Christian.

Is it necessary that one should certify General Washington avowed himself to be a true believer in Christianity?

As well may question his patriotism.

According to Nellie, one might as well question Washington's patriotism as his Christianity, and no one seriously questions his patriotism.

If you're really truly interested in historic figures, stop going to the scholars and start looking at what people who knew that person

said of that person.

Those documents are available.

Last night on our television show, it was

quite eye-opening to see

how

the left

has planned this out.

We took the 1776 project and the committee or commission that Donald Trump put together.

Before Biden even arrived at the White House, it was removed from the website.

And it was one of the first

presidential directives that he signed to demolish the 1776 project.

He said it was hateful and

divisive and full of inaccuracies.

I've read it.

I don't know where those inaccuracies are, and I certainly don't find anything divisive in it.

But they have something else that over 300 scholars have worked on and 10 of them are Republican.

So it's very, very bipartisan.

And it's the new curriculum.

And it's a little terrifying.

We talked about it last night and show you what to do.

You can find that at YouTube on the Blaze YouTube channel.

It's my Wednesday night special.

Hello, America.

There is one thing that we can,

I think most of us agree on.

What's happening in our schools, what's happening to our children, is extraordinarily dangerous.

You know, there might be some bad things that America has done in the past, and there's no might to it.

There's been some really bad things that America has done.

But is all of it to be thrown out?

Is there no good, no redeeming value?

Is there nothing to the Western society?

Most people know that there is something good and important about Western society and America's role when we have our priorities right, when we're not so arrogant, when we're not trying to go fight wars all over the world,

when we're just freeing people, when we are letting people

do their thing.

You know, it's like Thomas Jefferson said.

You be you, boo.

And I, what?

I don't know if he has to.

No, I learned that.

No,

I think that's in curriculum now.

I'm not.

Oh, it is now?

Yeah, I think so.

Part of comic cool.

I'm going to show you

what's going on and

how not alone you really are.

and what you need to do.

If you want this to stop, if you want some semblance of sanity, it's incumbent upon you to stand in your own local community.

I'll tell you about that in 60 seconds.

Amazing, amazing news here.

I haven't told anybody about this.

I'm breaking it right here.

It turns out, and I was as shocked as I think you're going to be.

I am a close relative

of a recently deceased Nigerian prince.

I just found this out.

Yes.

Yes.

Congratulations.

I'm the closest relative, strangely, strangely, closest relative he had.

Do you see the resemblance in the photos?

No, I don't see any resemblance at all, which is weird.

But hey, who am I?

Yeah.

I mean, I've inherited a fortune.

I may not be here tomorrow.

So it's awesome.

All I have to do is just write a $1,000 check and send it to him because he's got some banking problems right now.

That happens all the time.

Happens all the time.

But hey, tomorrow I may not be here.

Congratulations.

That's big news.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yeah,

I didn't see that in my family tree, but he contacted me.

Oh, he saw it in the middle.

Well, a representative.

Yeah.

They were tracking me, I'm sure.

It was too big of a deal to reach out himself.

Now, if you think that all sounds dumb, it's only because it's an old trick.

Let me give you some of the headlines, and these are headlines from today.

New York City schools encourage kids now to stop using the words mom and dad

because they're offensive.

California is embracing mandatory racial injustice study for all of its 1.7 million high schoolers.

The law school,

the law school

of Ohio, the Ohio Law School has chastised their students for being too white

after the release of a study ranking the whitest law schools in America.

Okay, I don't think it's this.

This is a good practice, by the way.

We should be ranking by skin color.

That's a good thing for the country to get going again.

Can you imagine if this was done in the 1960s or well, it was.

If this is what was proposed in the 70s, that we start grading everything by how white it is or how black it is.

And we say, if it's black, it's no good.

Can you imagine that?

That is what they're doing.

They're saying it is.

It's a bad school if it's white.

If it's white.

This is terrible.

And I thought something we left behind a long time ago.

Well, we didn't.

And everybody is positioning themselves.

Yesterday, I told you, well, let's go with Dr.

Seuss.

Dr.

Seuss, what happened there?

The family decided, the estate decided.

Now, have you ever seen like the Ford Foundation?

Ford Foundation can any of these, any of these big funds, they usually go off the rails because the original intent.

is no longer there.

I don't know if this is the case with Dr.

Seuss or not, but it's usually a committee or generations past that don't really have the original intent at heart.

You're seeing this now with businesses that are also coming out.

Yesterday, what was the story yesterday, Stu, where they came out and they said, oh, Dove

and Unilever.

They're removing the word normal off of their shampoo when it's marked for normal or dry hair.

Now it's just going to be marked for dry hair.

So what dry or damaged?

Yeah.

So why do I, what, what shampoo do I use?

Because I have like normal hair.

I don't have any real problems with the hair other than it's falling out.

Should I use gorilla glue?

What do I do?

The reason why Unilever did that is because they are preparing now for what are called ESGs, environmental, social justice, and

governance scores.

So if if you are not in line with one of those, you're going to get a lower score.

So all of these giant corporations are rushing to show how woke they are because they need a high score in the S, otherwise they're going to be deemed a risk to the financial system.

If you want to learn more about it, you can just watch my shows on Wednesday.

Go back and watch

last week, the last three weeks of shows starting what three weeks ago, just watch those shows and you'll get an idea of what ESG is and the great reset.

It's really important because that's why everybody is starting to make these moves.

And they're not going to reverse it unless you stand up

because they know what's coming.

You just don't.

UPenn nursing final exam mandates students ask imaginary patient for preferred pronouns.

Transgender author has been nominated for the UK Women's Fiction Award.

The transgender author nominated for a woman's award.

I don't know why women aren't upset at this.

I don't know.

I mean, you're taking sports away from them.

Now, women's author, I guess you could make the case that, you know, men and women.

No, you can't even make the case because everybody says they think differently, yet they're exactly the same.

So if a man competes in a, in a, in a female category, they're not the same.

Why should they be eligible for that?

Because they took hormones and changed their parts.

That doesn't change the chromosome.

That doesn't change.

Why are we doing this to women?

Anyway,

the

next one is the Texas School District apologizes to parents for the assignment of books with graphic sex scenes in them.

It's worse and worse.

Now, I want to show you, you're not alone.

If you say transgendered athletes should not compete in women's sports,

you are not the fringe.

You are in the vast majority.

If you think that transgender athletes should compete in women's sports, you're on the fringe.

And yet, that very small group is herding all of us into a place that none of us want to go.

How are they getting away with it?

Because they've convinced you, A, that you don't matter, and they've convinced you to be afraid.

Let me give you this story from Barry Weiss.

Now, she was formerly with the New York Times.

She left the New York Times in a very vocal way.

She is not a conservative, and she spoke out and said, this cancel culture and political correctness is insane and going to kill us.

She's just put out a new article, The Miseducation of America's Elites, that you need to read.

She said, the dissidents use pseudonyms and turn off their videos when they meet for clandestine Zoom calls.

They're usually coordinating soccer practices in carpools, but now they've come together to strategize.

They say they could face profound repercussions if anyone knew they were even talking.

But the situation of late has become too egregious for emails or complaining on conference calls.

So one recent weekend on a leafy street in West Los Angeles, they gathered in person and invited me to join.

In the backyard behind a four-bedroom home, 10 people sat in a circle of plastic Adirondack chairs, eating bags of skinny pop.

These are the rebels.

Well-off Los Angeles parents who send their kids, their children, to Harvard-Westlake, the the most prestigious private school in the city.

By normal American standards, they are quite wealthy, but by the standards of Harvard-Westlake, they're average.

These are two career couples who credit their own success not to family connections or inherited wealth, but to their own education.

So it strikes them as something more than ironic that a school that costs more than $40,000 a year,

a school with Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett's right-hand, and Sarah Murdoch, wife of Lachlan,

Rupert Murdoch's daughter-in-law, is on its board, and they're teaching students that capitalism is evil.

For most parents, the demonization of capitalism is the least of it.

They say their children tell them they're afraid to speak up in class.

Most of all, they worry about the school's new plan to become an anti-racist institution, unveiled this July.

It's making the kids fixate on race and attach importance to it in ways that strike them as grotesque.

Quote, I grew up in LA and the Harvard School definitely struggled with diversity issues.

The stories have expressed since the summer seem totally legitimate, says one of the fathers.

He says he doesn't have a problem with the school making greater efforts to redress past wrongs, including by bringing more minority voices into the curriculum.

What he has a problem with is this movement that tells his children that America is a bad country and that they bear collective racial guilt.

They're making my son, quoting, feel like a racist because of the pigmentation of his skin, one mother says.

Another poses a question to the group.

How does focusing a spotlight on race fix how kids talk to one another?

Why can't they all just be wolverines?

That's Westlake.

This Harvard Westlake parents group is one of the many organizing quietly around the country.

Let me say it again.

This parents group is one of many organizing quietly around the country to fight what it describes as an ideological movement that has taken over their schools.

This story is based on interviews with more than two dozen of these dissenters, teachers, parents, and children at an elite prep school, two of the bluest states in the country, New York and California.

The parents in the backyard say that for every one of them, there are many more too afraid to speak up.

I've talked to at least five other couples who say, I get it.

I think the way you do.

I just won't want the controversy right now, related one mother.

They're all eager for their story to be told, but not a single one would let me use their name.

They worry about losing their jobs or hurting their children if their opposition to this ideology were known.

The school can ask you to leave for any reason, said one mother.

Then you'll be blacklisted from all the private schools and you'll be known as a racist, which is worse than now being called a murderer.

That's a mother in Brentwood.

Isn't that interesting?

One private school parent born in a communist nation told me, I came to this country escaping the very same fear of retaliation that now my own child feels.

Another joke, we need to feed our families.

Oh, and pay $50,000 a year to have our children get indoctrinated.

A teacher in New York City put it most concisely, to speak against this is to put all of your moral capital at risk.

Parents who have spoken out against this ideology, even in private ways, say it hasn't gone over well.

I had a conversation with a friend and asked him, is there anything about this movement we should question?

A father with children in two prep schools in Manhattan.

He said, dude, that's dangerous ground you're on in our friendship.

I've had enough of those conversations to know that's what happens.

That fear is shared deeply by the children.

For them, it's not just the fear of getting a bad grade or getting turned down for a college recommendation, though that fear is potent.

The fear of social shaming.

If you publish my name, it will ruin my life.

People would attack me for even questioning this ideology.

I don't want people knowing that I'm a capitalist, a student at Fieldstone School in New York City told me, in a comment echoed by other students that I also spoke with.

Fieldstone declined to comment.

The kids are scared of other kids.

The atmosphere is making their children anxious, paranoid, and insecure, closed off even from their close friends.

My son knew I was talking to you, and he begged me not to, said another Harvard Westlake mother.

He wants to go to a great university, and he told me that one bad statement from a parent will ruin me.

This is the United States of America.

Are you kidding me?

These people are starting to gather and stand up.

I'm going to introduce you to a couple in San Francisco in a few minutes that are doing this and they are changing the way things are done.

Now, I don't necessarily, or they don't maybe necessarily agree with everything I say.

They live in San Francisco and they are liberal.

However, they saw what the school board was standing for and spending all of their time on and they were like, hey, how about math?

What do you say?

How about we do some work in school?

How about you even open the doors of the school?

And they started a little group.

It grew to 400.

And they've changed things.

You are not alone.

This is very concerning.

And unless somebody starts to gather together and has the guts to do it,

nothing's going to change.

And it's going to get much, much worse.

All right.

Fairfax County Schools.

This is in Virginia.

Fairfax County Schools recently ditched a merit-based admissions process.

So

if you're going to get into the school,

merit-based,

you got to be good.

You have to have good grades, et cetera, et cetera.

Apparently they're ditching that because Asians did too well.

I don't.

What is this?

This is common is what it is.

Yeah.

Asians do well, not because they're Asian, but because in many cases, the culture that they came from, it might be two generations down the road, but the culture they came from put an emphasis on family, respect, and education.

Yeah.

I mean, people, different people have different priorities and different cultures give different results.

I was talking about this with Eric July on Studios America the other day.

And we're talking about the NBA.

Now, the most desired jobs in the NBA are the players.

They get tons and tons of money.

They get all the stardom.

They get everything else.

Everybody wants that job.

Every white kid, black kid, any race grows up wanting that gig if they're an athlete, not you.

Some people just want to be in theater.

But a lot of people want that job.

Yet, in a a country with 13% of African-American population, something in the neighborhood of 75% of the players are black.

Is that racism against white people?

Because if we apply their standards, that's the only possible explanation.

Because apparently the NBA hates white people.

It's keeping white people out and elevating black people.

That obviously is insane, right?

For whatever reason, African-Americans tend to outperform white people at basketball and they get all the good jobs.

Then we get these complaints that there's not enough black coaches, which is a whole nother ridiculous conversation.

But the jobs that everybody wants as a kid, everybody plays up, or grows up at the playground, trying to become the guy who hits the three at the buzzer to win the championship.

All of those jobs

are going to outsized amount of African Americans.

Should we be complaining that that's racism against whites?

I would argue that would, the answer to that would be no.

That would be an insane argument.

But if you apply their logic, that would be a sane, rational conversation to have.

It is, you know, Google's having a problem right now because they need more women.

They need more African-American women that are programmers.

I don't know any women.

that are like, oh, I'm such a computer geek.

I mean, I know they're out there,

but that's not,

you know, guys generally are the geeks on stuff like this.

So they have to meet a certain quota.

Well, you just have to keep lowering the bar and lowering the bar and lowering the bar of what your qualifications,

you know, you have to meet to be able to get a job.

Well, that's insane.

Yes.

That leads to destruction of business, destruction of integrity of thought.

It leads to the destruction of the Western way of life, and they know it.

How much time do you spend grilling every week?

Now, how much time would you spend grilling if you didn't have to stand there the whole time making sure that nothing is...

You know, my old grill,

I would tend to leave because it's hot out in Texas during the summer.

And I would come back and everything would be on fire.

I mean, just, I'd open up just giant flames on everything.

I think the burgers are done.

I don't have to worry about that anymore because I have a RECTEC.

We've all heard about the recall of Gavin Newsom, but in San Francisco, there's a group trying to recall the school board.

San Francisco schools are out of control and have been out of control all during this pandemic.

It doesn't seem like they're trying to reopen their schools, just rename many of their schools.

Two parents decided to go and listen to what the school board was doing, and they didn't like what they saw.

And we have them both on the phone, Shiva Raj and Autumn Loyan.

She is the, they both are the co-founders of Recall San Francisco School Board.

Welcome to the program.

Thank you.

Thank you for having us.

You bet.

So

Autumn, let's start with you.

What was, why did you do this?

Why did you get involved?

What was the first thing that you saw that you were like, we got to stop just sitting on our hands?

We moved here in December from other school districts.

And I think for me, it was the contrast between the way the school board behaved in my kids' school district and the way

the school board here behaves, the way it treats parents and the way it communicates with parents is totally different.

And

it really bugs me when the people in charge don't take care of and listen to the people who are their constituents.

So, Raj, they actually they humiliate

people who question anything they they're doing, don't they?

Yeah, it's been really kind of stunning to see them treat parents, push parents away, literally.

I mean, I worked on school site councils.

I volunteered in schools.

And usually schools are like desperate for parents to help out.

And, you know, in San Francisco, parents have been really, really eager to roll up our sleeves and help out in every shape possible.

You know, we are happy to kind of, you know, move into the schools, clean them up, you know, do up the windows, et cetera.

We know that there is a lot of change that's required for the pandemic, for safety, and we are happy to kind of get involved.

But they've been pushing us away.

They've treated parents who volunteered.

For example, there was a gay parent who volunteered to be on the Parent Advisory Council, which is 50% empty.

And they spent two hours just criticizing him in public without even giving him a chance to speak.

It was just stunning.

They also, and this one drives me nuts because I hear this from all kinds of quote-unquote experts, that the mental health issues are not a problem.

I know I'm dealing with mental health issues with my kids who have

not been in school up until recently.

And you can't do that to children.

You can't really do that to people.

We are social by nature.

And in San Francisco, they completely deny this, right?

I think it's, you know, my oldest son

is a freshman in high school, and his school experience is just very different.

He stares into a blank screen.

All his classmates have their cameras turned off.

Right.

Right.

And so I've seen him actually borderline depressed.

He does his entire school from his bed.

And it's just, you know, for a parent, it's just shattering to see that.

And he just seems to have lost entirely his desire to learn and he's a good student I mean he used to play football he was very active and extroverted so you know it's just like a complete change in him and yeah we're seeing you know the for example one of the commissioners in the school board just as recently as February was quoted in you know San Francisco Chronicle saying you know men the school closures don't cause mental health issues they don't cause learning loss and it's just stunning to see again that there's no recognition it's one thing to say that hey you know we have a pandemic We have to like account for the safety and we have to get this right to get kids back.

We recognize that there are real challenges that both parents and students and teachers are facing and we want to do the right thing for everyone.

It's one thing to say that.

And all of us would have totally supported the school board if that was the kind of attitude we saw.

But it's been the exact opposite.

They seem to be completely blind.

to and unwilling to recognize the real challenges that students and parents are facing in the school district.

So, Autumn,

what is the

why?

I mean,

there's zero public schools in San Francisco that were approved for reopening as of February 26th.

Zero.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I believe as of today, they have gotten six out of 108.

So

what was the motivation?

Why were they, I mean, you charged that they never had any intention at all to open schools this year.

Why?

I think it just, honestly, I think it just looked like such a big problem.

They threw up their hands and they're like, let's just pretend it doesn't exist.

I don't know why else you would do that when it's your responsibility to take care of so many children and get them back to school so they can learn.

I don't know why else you would not have the school sites ready by, you know, January at the very least when the schools were originally slated to reopen.

So you guys went to a school board meeting, you listened to it, and then you started a, I think, a Facebook page, if I'm not mistaken.

And there are four or five hundred families now and parents that are involved in this recall.

And what has happened so far?

What changes have you seen just by standing up and doing the basic moves?

So we have

our Facebook group is actually our group for organizing our volunteers.

And we have over 700 people in there.

We have this army of volunteers who help us whenever we want to learn more about an issue.

or that sort of thing.

Yeah.

And Shova, do you want to talk about the movement you've seen?

I'm sorry, go ahead.

What was that question?

Did you ask me a question?

No, no, I was thinking if Shiva wanted to speak to what's going on.

Since our recall effort started and

since the school board had also been sued, right, kind of at the same time.

Yes.

We have seen a little bit of movement.

They are talking about reopening now.

They are saying that reopening is their first priority and they're kind of shelving the other issues for now.

And

those other issues are like the renaming of schools?

Yes.

Okay.

And

so we've seen, I think on April 12th, a few kids are slated to go back in a few schools.

So it's not all the grade.

It's like

I think at 12 schools, there's a couple grades that are going back.

So that's

a little bit of progress.

I just read a story about a couple in Los Angeles or a group of parents now that were meeting with Barry Weiss, formerly of the New York Times, and they were talking about, you know, you can't use our names.

You can't put us, you know, you know, on the record because

we will lose.

Our kids will suffer from this.

There will be a campaign against us.

Did that ever concern you or cross your mind?

Well, you know, one of the things we saw very early on when we were exploring the recall, which is about, you know, early in Feb, after we kind of realized how

deep the issues were with the board, is that we saw a lot of parents supportive, a lot of people in the city supportive, non-parents too, right?

But very few people were actually keen to put their names on a recall because they were afraid.

And that's understandable.

You know, I'm afraid.

I have two kids in the school district, and I kind of worry about how they'll get treated if this is not successful, right?

Isn't that

even if it's successful?

And that shouldn't, you shouldn't be afraid.

I mean,

you shouldn't be afraid of holding elected leaders accountable.

Right.

I mean,

that should tell you everything you need to know on why you need to stand up.

If you're afraid now at this shift towards this kind of rule, if you will, you're going to be terrified in 10 years.

You can't let this sit.

You have to stand up.

Or do you think people are becoming more willing to?

We've seen a lot of support for the recall.

So Aram kind of talked about some of that.

We've seen over 8,000 people sign up.

We've had 30 people put their names on a petition that we just filed with the city and that

notice has been sent to each of the three board members who are eligible for recall right now,

who are kind of our focus at this point.

And so actually so there is a growing and as people see that others that are also interested, there's hundreds in the Facebook group, there is growing talk across the city.

You know, we're seeing people like feeling more comfortable,

you know, talking about it to their friends and to their neighbors, et cetera.

So we had a lot of enthusiasm from people saying, hey, you know, if we have about 7,000 people sign up, but if

every one of those 7,000 just got 10 signatures, which is essentially our ask, we will hit the 70,000 we need to, you know, get the recall on the ballot.

Well, I am so glad to see you guys do this this and to lead this and to start to lead the way.

Courage is contagious, and that's why I wanted to have you on.

We may not agree on all the issues, but

people have to stand up

exactly right.

And people have to stand up for one another and their freedom of speech and stop this madness of this local authoritarian style ruling.

Thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

Thank you for having us.

You bet.

We also have at Glenbeck.com something that you need to look at.

We have a bunch of groups that you can join all around the country.

We have people that are focusing on the teachers' unions.

Some of them are focusing on school boards.

Some of them are focusing on parents.

We must make this a priority.

There is poison being shoveled into our children.

If the schools aren't back yet,

why?

Why are they not back yet?

They have destroyed a year of our children's learning and education.

They have set them way back.

How much has this cost us in their future abilities when they're 18 years old?

Nobody's talking about that.

Nobody's talking about the physical damage that is being done, not only the mental.

All kinds of damage is being done.

And then when they do open up, they're shoveling garbage into them.

This critical race theory, if you happen to be against that, we'll help you

start working together and start networking people in your own area and people who have done this.

Our sponsor this half hour is American Financing.

This whole past year has seen a dramatic decrease in mortgage rates throughout the housing industry.

And during that time, I've advised you to please check out American Financing.

See if they can save you.

a bundle of money.

I mean, we're talking hundreds of dollars, sometimes over $1,000 a month, especially if you're getting rid of your high-interest credit cards.

So while you're at it and you're looking for refinancing of

your own mortgage, also ask them about bundling other debts that you might have into that mortgage, and you don't have to restart your loan.

This is a really good way to have one payment, low interest rate, and save a buttload of money.

I want you to call them right now.

You are listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Last night on TV, I was highlighting some books that have been changed and showed you the progress of that.

The autobiography of Booker T.

Washington is just that, an autobiography of a guy who started the Tuskegee School, changed people's lives, changed the direction of

America,

and

is now deemed to be a fictional character.

Everything in this book, according to the copyright now, everything in this book, all characters, are fictional and not based on anyone real.

Well, it's an autobiography, and the word autobiography has come off now, the front cover of Booker T.

Washington's Up From From Slavery.

It is a must-read, but you have to begin to find those books that are really important to American history.

Up from Slavery is one of those books,

and get an older copy of it.

You know, I know some people are saying that they want to get an encyclopedia.

Go ahead and get the new

encyclopedia, but I would definitely get one before 1970 as well.

Things began to change

in the 1920s,

the 1950s, the 1970s, and now they're completely at warp speed on this.

You don't have to spend a lot of money, but I would gather up as many things that you think are important, all the way from

Curious George to Democracy in America by De Tocqueville.

We showed you last night the new edition

with a third of the page size and just slightly smaller font

is about the third

of the size of the

of the actual unedited book.

And the point of de Tocqueville is what he found here.

He was looking

for justice.

He was from France.

He was a

justice guy.

And he was looking how do we rule in courts?

How do we bring justice?

And so he came over here to study America.

When he got here, he couldn't find out, he couldn't figure out what the secret was.

There were fewer arrests, there were fewer murderers.

What was happening here?

And it wasn't until he started going to the churches that he found the answer.

And he started listening how people were talking openly about God and

the miracles of God and our responsibilities to God that he realized that's the difference.

And it's where our uniqueness has always come from.

All of that's edited out into Tocqueville's Democracy in America.

You've got to get the original versions of things.

Otherwise, your kids will be reading them and go, Wait a minute, wait a minute.

What was the point of this?

Why did I read this?

And I don't think that that is,

I don't think that's a coincidence.

More in a minute.

This is the Glenback Program.

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

This

is

the Glenback Program.

In the great state of Colorado, there is a Senate bill.

It's 21-132,

and it will establish a digital communications division and digital communications commission to regulate online speech, specifically targeting fake news, intentional disinformation, and conspiracy theories with the goal of eliminating those practices.

There's no provided definitions of those terms.

We're getting a state senator of Colorado pulled off the floor so he can speak to us.

Is there a chance that AOC's dream of a truth commission or Orwell's warning of the Ministry of Truth is actually coming to an American state?

We'll find out in 60 seconds.

Senator Arn.

We

have now

Colorado State Senator Jerry Sonnenberg.

Hello, Jerry.

How are you?

Good afternoon or morning, sir.

It's a pleasure to be with you from the petri dish of the Democrat Party.

They throw stuff against the wall here to see if it works before they go nationwide.

What happened to Colorado?

I mean, it was a state that I would have loved to live in.

It is beautiful there, and it's gone crazy.

It has.

It has turned into the middle coast of the East and West Coast

liberal bend.

And

we're struggling here in Colorado and what's happening with

all the attacks on our freedoms and liberties.

So it's not liberal.

This is gone, this is insane now, what they're talking about.

There is a new bill out.

I know you're aware of it, Senate Bill 21-132 for a digital communications division.

Tell me what this bill actually is.

Well, the interesting part is the bill is being run

by the person that wants to take out Congressman Boebert

that has announced for that congressional district.

And what she wants to do is allow the governor to appoint a five-member commission with no requirements on political balance, no requirements on any balance whatsoever.

And then that commission has the ability to determine what is

hate speech, what is fake news.

They make all of those determinations and then confine you.

They can also set up fees to all social media platforms, which, quite frankly, might even include

blogs after a news story

from a media.

Whenever somebody makes a comment on social media, that would be regulated by this commission.

I mean,

is there outrage in Colorado about this?

I mean, it seems pretty, you know, Moscow, 1962.

This does seem stalin, doesn't it?

It absolutely.

There is outrage from my side of the aisle, but it's interesting that it's not being condemned or pushed back against by our governor or leadership in either chamber.

They're just kind of letting it slide.

I don't know if they're supportive, but they sure haven't come out and opposed it.

So you got to assume that they support this type of effort of squashing our First Amendment rights, free speech, by their silence.

Well, I will tell you, they're serious about it in Washington, D.C.

Why wouldn't they be serious about it

in Colorado?

Is there any chance this passes?

I honestly don't think so,

but

it depends.

Yeah, here's what I'll tell you.

2021.

Democrats, yeah, the Democrats have not come out and said they oppose it.

They have not come out and said that this is bad policy.

So I don't know if it will die or not.

The truth is, I'd like to have it.

I hope it lives through committee and actually gets to the Senate floor so we have a discussion and we can hear all of the Democrats talk about how they want to squash free speech.

I don't think that'll happen.

I actually think if their leadership is smart, they can't afford to let this go to the floor.

They have to kill this attack on our First Amendment.

Is there any pushback from the people of Colorado on things like critical race?

Are you hearing from parents or

anybody about trying to stand the line against some of these things?

Absolutely.

And interestingly enough,

Colorado, rural Colorado especially, has become outraged where they have tried to stay isolated, just do their work in agriculture and those type of things, have now become outraged and are rallying and getting involved.

So

Colorado, especially the rural parts of the state, have been awakened.

And I want to say that they probably have awakened the sleeping giant.

Even though they're small in in numbers, they will have a strong, strong voice as this moves forward.

I will tell you, it is the giant cities and the cities with all the universities and usually the state capital that becomes so infected.

And they are leaving all of the people in the rural areas way behind.

I mean, you think...

If you listen to the media, it's that we can't talk to one another.

And I don't know if that's necessarily true, but with the policies that are being pushed now by the extreme far left and what's happening in Washington, we don't have much left in common.

If you're in a big city and you're talking to somebody who lives in, you know, rural Colorado or rural Wyoming or Texas, you just, you don't understand each other.

You're exactly right.

It wasn't that long ago that our urban cousins had a generation generation that was still on the farm, whether it was an uncle or a grandparent, out in rural areas of some state.

So they had some tie.

We don't have that anymore.

And interestingly enough,

the voice is shrinking because you look at as legislators are based on population, I represent alone in my Senate district, 20% of the entire landmass of Colorado.

That makes it very hard to get a rural message to my urban cousins and the urban legislators

it is.

If you're running, you're representing 20% of the land mass, you have to be affected by what the government is doing with BLM land and the gobbling up of state land that they've been told twice by the Supreme Court to send it back to the states.

It belongs to the states.

There's no intention of doing anything except what it seems to me, roping that land off and not allowing the states to do anything with it.

Absolutely.

And what we're seeing now is the attempts to try and benefit all of the country through mineral production on federal lands.

That's being shut down as well.

So

and you can see it at the gas pump.

Gas now is 70 cents higher than it was in January here in Colorado.

I mean, it's pretty easy to figure out what that's attributed to.

Yeah.

Thank you so much, Jerry.

I appreciate it.

That is State Senator Jerry Sonnenberg from Colorado.

And if you see any movement on this, Senator, if you wouldn't mind just reaching out in case we miss it.

Otherwise, we'll be watching it as well and reach back out to you.

Absolutely.

I look forward to talking to you again soon.

God bless.

And I'll keep you informed.

You bet.

All right.

Our sponsor this half hour is Goldline.

The largest U.S.

financial institutions are out to win, no matter how many American, you know, average retailers are out there and retail investors that they have to step over to get there.

They've been doing this for a very long time, and they're not changing anytime soon.

They are willing to take enormous risks because they know our money will bail them out.

And we are currently...

With your tax dollars, your money that you're on the hook for, we're bailing these big banks out.

You know what I love is the Fed is actually the five largest banks in the country.

We pretty much know who they are.

We don't have verification, but we pretty much know who they are.

So they're deciding to print more money to give that money to themselves.

Just when they're wearing their banker hat, not the Fed hat.

And then they're taking that money and they're investing it in big corporations on Wall Street.

And then they're making all of the financial rules outside of Washington, but in cahoots with Washington.

They're making the financial rules so they can decide

which companies make it and which companies don't.

They're going to get rich off of all of this.

Please, I want you to call Goldline now and see if gold or silver is right for you.

They have a great special right now with every tube of certified gold Liberty coins.

You're going to get five brilliant, uncirculated Kennedy silver half dollars at no additional charge.

These are the same exact coins that I have purchased in the past from Goldline.

They're the only company that I trust to do business with.

Call Goldline now at 866 Goldline.

They're waiting for your call now.

10 seconds, station ID.

You know, the Daily Wire asked a good question yesterday.

If Donald Trump was a Nazi for detaining migrant children, what does that make Joe Biden?

Albert Speer, a well-meaning Nazi.

You're right.

You're right.

The good Nazi.

Yeah, the good Nazi.

He's the good Nazi.

Yeah.

I don't know.

That's interesting.

I don't think you can come out and criticize him if you're the media.

You had to say that the idea behind Trump was that he was uniquely bad, not just bad, but uniquely bad.

And

when

Donald Trump was putting kids in cages, as they said, and we found out a lot of the pictures of that were from the Obama administration, they just seemed to sort of blow by that and try to find little distinctions between the policies.

I assume they'll try the same thing here, but when you have the same administration, I mean, Biden was part of the Obama administration, when you had the same people sandwiched around Trump doing the things that they said Trump was uniquely terrible for doing.

How do you have any credibility on this side?

You have none.

But you have the press that is, you know, running cover for you.

Yeah.

Just hopefully.

There's nobody that is.

There's, by the way,

anyone.

in the Border Patrol that would like the story told and would like to be able to

show the pictures.

I was the guy down in the border under Obama that talked about the cages, tried to get I personally called people like Chuck Todd and said, you've got to cover this.

This is beyond politics.

This is kids being kept in cages.

There was no interest in the media.

I was interested in it under Obama.

I was interested in it under Trump.

And I'm interested in it today.

We are doing horrible things down on the border because no one will talk about it.

And they don't really care.

Otherwise they'd be down there now.

They only cared about it because it was a tool for politics.

They don't care about these children.

Otherwise you'd have a sad looking AOC at the

fence looking in thinking, this is the Holocaust.

This is literally a concentration camp.

I could get that sort of thing from her.

Wow, is that a clip from her?

Yeah, it was.

Pretty good.

Literally?

Literally a concentration camp?

Like,

I was one time, I pushed, I flipped a switch over my sink, and it made this really loud sound.

Wow!

There's like a monster in there eating something.

It's like eating metal inside of my sink.

Right.

Does everybody have one of these?

I've never even heard of it.

They say that it's a garbage disposal.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

It's old.

It's old technology.

It's old technology.

We're doing great here in life and everything.

But yeah, no, it's obviously hypocritical.

One of the things that would be helpful here, and it would at least give us someone else to criticize about it if they didn't ask questions,

would be if the media actually had an opportunity to talk to Joe Biden and ask him these questions every day.

And maybe...

That's about as much as he's said so far.

My hat.

Your hat.

Yeah, so the point here

is if there were actually press conferences, maybe he could hold one considering he's already set the record.

Today, earlier this week, they said that Thursday would be that he would

give a speech.

Primetime address.

Yeah, an address.

And then he would take questions.

Now, he may...

Maybe he takes a question or two.

I don't know.

But he's not done a formal press conference, which is the standard we hold presidents to.

Every single one of them for the past hundred years has done one by this time in his presidency.

Every single one.

And Joe Biden would know because he was there for all hundred years.

I'm just coming

down the stairs now.

I'm just riding in that little chair they installed.

Hang on, it'll take me a second to get to the bottom of the stairs.

You know, when Jill said she was gonna put me in a home, I didn't know it'd be this nice.

And they're very nice here.

They they give me my pills and uh

but some of the people here are delusional this this kind uh

black lady comes by she says she's gonna be president uh in just a few weeks and i

they're delusional help me help me

my hat

I think that would be important to hear.

I think we should all know if the president is there or not.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

And, you know, he continually, right, goes down these roads where he, these, this builds and builds and builds.

He flubs something here.

He flubs something there in a public appearance.

Everyone gets a little bit more worried.

And then he's able to kind of piece a sentence or two together, and everyone's like, okay, well, I guess he's okay again.

That's not the standard we should have for the president of the United States.

And it's not about

anything other other than what are our allies and our enemies thinking.

If our enemies think that our president is in double-dumb hat,

there's a problem.

There's a real problem.

And to be very clear here, I am not advocating for Joe Biden to step down.

I want Joe Biden.

Every day.

Every day of this term.

I do not want Kamala Harris in that job.

And I know Biden's going to be terrible, but I want him to be there every single day until January 20th, 2025,

which is a terrible hard thing to say, but I want him there every day until then.

If they have to give him a shot of cocaine to keep him lucid,

fine.

I'm fine.

If they need to put like a little, like, you know, little, those dolls used to have a box that, you know, you pull out and it'd be like, the cow goes, moo.

If they need to put a box in that and just somebody standing behind him pulling a string the whole time, I'm also fine with that.

I want this president to serve his entire term.

Yes, so I 100% don't want him out of

office in any way.

However, that being said,

you have to have questions as to whether he is capable of doing this.

And these giant $1.9 trillion bills that are being passed.

Did I just put a load in my pants?

Are you saying you can't control your...

I just asked a question.

I wasn't making a statement.

Oh, okay.

I don't think that's a good question to ask, frankly.

I just, I don't know.

I don't know where he's going to.

I don't know where he goes from here.

What is he?

They said he may, may

be able to get a press conference in by the end of the month, which is 20 days away.

He puts logs on.

I like to put logs on fires.

That's what I do in the round room that they put me in.

I was a little afraid when Jill said, I'm going to be in a round room.

But this one doesn't have any padding.

And I like fire.

I put logs on fire.

Did you see that story?

That was the.

He goes to bed early.

I go to bed very early,

4 in the afternoon, but I get up early.

I get up at 10 a.m.

the next day.

And he likes to put logs on the fire.

Okay,

that's not making me feel better.

Okay.

No.

That's not making, you know, if he's out back chopping the logs, chopping them, he goes out.

He goes out to the forest every weekend and he's chopping logs.

And those are the logs he wants to use on the fire.

That's a story.

Me like putting log on fire myself is not helpful

Congressman Chip Roy is quickly working his way up on the Glenbeck program favorite congresspeople

list.

Welcome to the program.

Chip, how are you, sir?

Well, that's a pretty low bar to make work on that list.

Well, no, not everybody.

We don't have a very long list to be on the list, really.

It's like it's an honor just to be nominated.

But let's talk about what's happening on our southern border.

And I would like to just put this out there.

I'd sure like to go down with you and a camera crew

and

see and show what's really happening on the border, especially with those cages, which I talked about during the Obama administration.

It's not getting better.

It's getting worse.

Well, Glenn, you're absolutely right.

And I'm happy to take up on that.

In fact, I got a trip coming up in a few days.

I'm happy to talk to your producer and see if that works.

If not, we might have some more coming up in the future.

You know, the district I represent.

gets within about 100 miles of the district.

My friend Tony Gonzalez obviously has a whole bunch of it, but I'm going to be going down to Laredo.

I'm going to be going down to McAllen Brown.

So look, for your listeners, I mean, most of your listeners are well-informed.

They know how bad it is, but however bad they think it is, it's worse.

And it's all purposeful.

This is President Biden either purposely and

willingly seeking to avoid his constitutional duty to secure the border in order to get some crass political gain out of seeming like they're compassionate,

or it's frankly just rote incompetence on his part and inability to comprehend how bad his policies are, endangering the American people, empowering cartels.

And Glenn, I'll say this.

As believers, as people of faith, you know, we're compassionate for the immigrants who seek to come here.

I know you are.

I've heard you talk about it.

So am I.

And we've got people who are being used as political pawns, who are being endangered, children, families, women and children, being endangered and abused by cartels on the journey.

And now you've got these facilities packed with unaccompanied children

and packed in there because of the policies of Biden, which, by the way, they were mocking the last two or three years, President Trump's policies, which he was doing to exercise to minimize the danger and push back and work with Mexico and use Title 42 to stop the flow.

What we have right now is 100,000 apprehensions in February.

That is an extraordinary number.

So you have that confirmed now?

I heard that they hadn't come out with a number yet.

You can confirm that 100,000?

I can confirm that both from sources that I know full well, that it's probably even more than that, but also CBP put out officially yesterday the number that it was over 100,000.

Now here's the number that's not public and not official, but I'll tell you, people in DHS sources, that they have had about 11,000 people were caught and released in January and February because of overcrowded facilities.

They're literally just catching and releasing.

They're turning DHS into essentially a welcome center in which cartels are empowered and people are then

abused in the process.

And frankly,

it's disgusting what the Biden administration is doing.

Even the Mexican officials have come out just recently and you know they were not a fan necessarily of trump and all of his policies uh but they even said america has got to get this under control it is empowering and it's becoming a bigger business and a bitty bigger money maker for the drug cartels than drugs

Well, and the worst part about it is, is you're absolutely right.

They're profiting obscenely, moving human beings for profit, like $7,000 a head, sometimes $20,000, depending where they come from in the world.

And then you've got the drug problem that is now exacerbated and made worse because our border patrol are being turned into caretakers, trying to figure out how to manage all these people in these facilities.

And their eyes are off the ball in terms of between ports of entry.

And now they're moving vast quantities of narcotics, fentanyl.

And now we've got an addiction problem in this country, the opioid addiction, which gets worse because cartels are exploiting it and running these dangerous narcotics through our border, all because Biden wants to say in the false name of compassion that his policies are somehow pro-immigrant.

And it's a lie.

It's a dangerous lie.

And look, in Texas, we're feeling it.

High-speed chases, people's homes getting broken into.

The mayor of Del Rio put out a plea to the Biden administration.

This is a Hispanic Democrat in Del Rio saying, Mr.

President, please do your job to secure the border.

Henry Cuear, Vicente Gonzalez, these are congressmen from Texas who are saying to the president, your administration is failing and not doing your job to actually do what needs to be done to make the border work.

So

it's unfortunate, but I think and hopefully the American people are going to see it.

But of course, the mainstream media, they're not going to report it like they were when Alexandria was down there lying about kids drinking out of toilets or kids in cages.

So Congressman, why

is Biden

not aware?

Is he plugged into enough stuff?

Or is there something else going on?

You know, and this is a, I think, $64,000 question.

The Joe Biden of a decade ago, however liberal that he is and was, and he was, you and I have opposed him for, you know, decades.

But I don't think the Biden of a decade ago, and in fact, if you look at the policies under Obama Biden, as bad as they were, they were nothing like this.

I think that he is being bullied and, frankly, just steamrolled because of, frankly, a certain level of either competence or engagement that isn't there, at least as it used to be.

And that now the policies are, frankly, really troubling.

Because I don't think an American president would ever willingly look at this border and say to the American people, it's secure, there is no crisis.

But he's allowing his DHS secretary to say that.

And

he's, frankly, this is the guy who two days ago referred to the Secretary of Defense as that guy who runs that outfit over there.

I mean,

this is extremely troubling.

And I think that what we're seeing right now is the radical left take advantage of a weak president and use it to jam through an unbelievably horrid agenda for crass political purposes.

And the blood is on their hands for doing it.

Trevor Burrus, Jr.: So this is why people have dropped listening to news.

They're unplugging because the problems are getting way too big.

And it doesn't seem like anybody is either interested in doing something or

people like you

can't get things rammed through because even your own party at times doesn't support the ideas of

people that believe in the Constitution.

What is the solution here?

Well, you're not wrong about, frankly, that some of the default falls on Republicans who for too long were ignoring the problem at the border instead of doing what we should have done when we had majorities to do it.

But here we sit, and we're looking at what's happening.

And so what we need to do is be faithful people, know that now that the veil is being lifted for the American people, they're seeing the radical left on full display, not just at our borders, but at our schools where teachers unions are getting paid not to work or to teach America, teach our kids that America is evil.

The veil is being lifted.

We've got to target 2022 and 2024.

And right now, turn to your governors, turn to your states, make them, particularly you border states, and Texas is one obviously that I'm proud to live in.

And, you know, Governor Abbott mentioned his or launched his Lone Star project last week to try to empower DPS.

Remember, during the Obama years, Texas spent almost a billion dollars working to try to secure the border ourselves using DPS, even though it's a full federal responsibility.

States are going to need to start pushing back on a federal government that is not just ignoring the borders, but they're trying to take your guns away.

They're defunding police.

They're passing $2 trillion bills that remake your health care system.

They're running away from Israel.

They're empowering Iran.

They're moving a radical agenda across that green agenda coming right down our throats in the bureaucracy.

So we're going to fight at the state level, and the American people need to make this fix this in 2022.

Congressman, anything we can do to help you, you please let us know.

The audience is eager for something that actually will make a difference.

And I've been preaching

the same message from this pulpit every day that it has to be fixed locally.

And every state has to stand against this onslaught.

What was passed in H.R.

1 is completely unconstitutional, completely unconstitutional.

And that stops anything from happening in 2022 or 2025 or four.

Well, and Glenn, let me just say to any of your listeners out there in West Virginia, Arizona, and other states with senators that need to listen, burn their phones down, that they not pass H.R.

1, that they not get rid of the filibuster, and they hold the line on this ridiculous federalization of our elections.

And if you're in a state like Texas, or frankly, any state, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, Arizona, any of the places that had issues last year, burn down the doors of

the phones of your legislators to make sure they know you want to see election reform at the state level, too.

We're going to fight H.R.

1.

We'll keep fighting.

We'll get back in power in 2022 and try to fix some of this.

But states need to lead the way.

So get them to pass legislation.

We're working on an effort to do that and set the principles out to encourage states to fix this.

Representative Chip Roy from the great state of Texas in Washington, D.C., stay safe, my friend.

Thank you so much.

God bless you, Glenn Tech.

You bet.

Patriot Mobile wants to remind you that there's an option out there.

Used to be the case that you were stuck with one mobile carrier company or the other because, you know,

you'd get stuck with something that didn't have the service and the coverage that you didn't want.

Well,

that's not the case anymore.

Patriot Mobile has the

same service that everybody else does, and it's because they're using the same cell towers.

So call Patriot Mobile and see the difference.

You'll see the difference in price.

You'll see the difference in customer service.

Patriot Mobile is great.

Now,

they're great because they save you money.

They're great because they give you the same service, maybe even a little better.

They give you great,

great customer service.

You can keep your phone, keep your number, or change it all if you want.

And they don't donate to Planned Parenthood.

That's kind of a big deal.

Did you know your mobile carrier most likely is making huge donations to things like Planned Parenthood?

Get out of the system.

Get free Premiere Activation where they set up the phone for you.

A year ago, we were freaked out for entirely different reasons.

We were freaked out because this is the one-year anniversary of the WHO coming out and saying it is a pandemic.

And when they said that, we didn't know what that meant.

I mean, remember, there were like millions and millions of people could die.

Two million people could die in America in the next year.

And you're like, whoa, wait, what?

Yeah, that number I don't think was out there yet.

But

it was a totally unknown.

And the other thing is that

we saw what happened in China, and it was

scary in China.

And remember, this is also a time where we have basically no testing.

So no idea who has it, no idea how to track who has it.

Totally different situation than we're in today.

We had no real concept as to what we were about to face.

Our hospitals had no PPEs.

Yeah.

I mean,

that's right, really.

We didn't have, what did Obama call them, breath elaters?

We didn't have any ventilators for people who had problems with breathing.

And a lot of that wound up being wrong.

I mean, the CDC's guidance as to how many deaths as it related to how many hospitalizations was so wildly incorrect that all these models on the hospitalizations were totally off, which is one of the, you know, this is one of the excuses of the Cuomo administration.

We just thought there was going to be more people who came into the hospital.

So we sent all the sick people back to the nursing homes.

Oh, brilliant way to handle that.

But this is also the night that the NBA.

canceled its season.

If you know the clip, there's a great, actually an interesting podcast.

If you want to relive this day, ESPN 30430 has a podcast, I think it's called March 11th, 2020.

And it goes through the day of like what was happening behind the scenes as the Oklahoma City Utah Jazz game was beginning.

And they found out last second they got a positive test of one of the players.

The entire crowd's there already.

They're already at the game.

They're about to tip off.

All of a sudden, the players just got to walk off the court nonchalantly.

And the refs sort of like walk around and everyone's just silent.

And the game's just not starting.

And no one knows why.

And then they make this announcement and it's like, uh, hey, everybody, uh, game's been canceled, you're all safe, don't worry, everything's fine.

Just move quietly to the exodus and check our website for details.

It's like that crazy.

Hey, NBA fans, thanks for coming.

We have moved all of the players and all the officials.

In fact, I'm speaking to you from outside of the building.

But take your time.

No rush at all.

You're riddled with infection, but we'll see you next time.

And at that point, we really were at the time where we didn't know.

Like, if you were in the room or a stadium with a guy who had COVID, do you get it?

Like, it was unknown at that point.

It was really all big questions.

And then it was that night later on, they canceled the season.

The other sports followed.

And it was the 16th of March when they instituted the 15 Days to Stop the Spread, which you remember, of course, Donald Trump's sort of famous speech from that time.

So it is a, this is it.

And it's interesting going back and seeing all this stuff, all these weird anniversaries, all the weird takes that everyone had back then.

You could tell.

And I think if you go through this year and you haven't been humbled on getting something wrong with COVID, you're way too certain of yourself.

I think everybody from the skeptical side of the argument to the hyper freakout side of the argument.

I don't know.

I was pretty down the middle.

I mean, I don't think, did you ever predict there's going to be 500,000 dead people?

No.

I said, don't fear the numbers.

Fear the economic ramifications.

You were also very high on the hospital worries.

I was.

And it was worrying him.

Right.

I was worried about that we were going to overload, which is why I was for the 15-day pause.

It's amazing.

Everyone I talk to about this is the one person who got it all right.

It's amazing how, and they all disagree with each other, yet they're all right i i i mean i'd like to know where i was wrong i don't know where i was wrong but i'm sure i was yeah i mean i will say this i think i've been you know i'm out of this out of step with a lot of conservatives and taking it i think more seriously than a lot of conservatives have i haven't been as skeptical but i did not think we'd be anywhere close to this death count I would, and I know people will be like, oh, well, they're manipulating the numbers.

They're measuring this the same way they do every other disease.

You can have a problem with the way they record deaths of disease if you want.

But the bottom line is these numbers are really high.

The overall deaths are really high.

The excess deaths from a normal year are incredibly high.

I did not think it would get this bad.

I will be honest with you.

I totally did not think that was going to happen.

I remember when Fauci and all them Burks came out and said 100,000 to 240,000.

Trump was out there as well saying that.

And I was like, 240,000.

It seemed completely insane a year ago.

See, I heard 2 million a year ago and thought that was completely insane.

And both turned out to be completely insane.
