The Common Man’s Hero’s Journey | Guest: Bill Richmond | 2/2/21

loves a challenge.

It's why she lifts heavy weights

and likes complicated recipes.

But for booking her trip to Paris, Olivia chose the easy way with Expedia.

She bundled her flight with a hotel to save more.

Of course, she still climbed all 674 steps to the top of the Eiffel Tower.

You were made to take the easy route.

We were made to easily package your trip.

Expedia, made to travel.

Flight-inclusive packages are at all protected.

There's two questions that people ask me all the time.

What do we do?

I mean, what do we do?

Number one.

Second one,

where is the leader?

Where is the Washington?

Where is the Lincoln?

Where's Winston Churchill?

Where are they?

I'm going to answer both of those questions for you today in clear and uncertain terms.

Both of those questions answered in the next 54 minutes.

We begin in 60 seconds.

Yeah, yeah, right.

Being fiscally responsible is vitally important if you have, you know, if you want to have some flexibility and a little comfort in life.

Sometimes it's not enough on its own.

Life is full of expenses.

The ones we see coming, the ones we don't.

And the good news is, there is a bridge to bridge the gap between you and financial freedom.

And it starts, if you're a homeowner, with what you're paying for your mortgage.

If you are paying 3 or 4%

in percentage points on your mortgage, you are overpaying.

The last thing I want to do is give these bums at the

bank more of my money.

This is the deal.

You can refi, you can even take your high interest credit card

debt and you fold it in to your mortgage, and you don't have to reset your loan, the terms of your loan.

You just roll it in.

You could save hundreds, if not a thousand dollars or more every single month.

That adds up.

I wanted to start with an Aaron Copeland song.

He's one of the great composers

of American music.

In his autobiography, he wrote that the conductor of the Symphony Orchestra in Cincinnati

had written to him and said he wanted a song, a fanfare.

He said he had done this in England right at the beginning of World War I and he asked all the English and European composers to write a fanfare.

He said

I want to do this with all of the American composers and 18 fanfares were written for this concert

for the Symphony Orchestra in Cincinnati in 1942.

The only one you know is this one.

You may not know it by name, but you've heard it a thousand times.

It was written by Aaron Copeland

and inspired in part by a speech given by the Vice President of the United States, Henry Wallace, in 1942.

And in that speech, he said, we are at the dawning of the century of the common man.

I want you to think about that in 1942.

This was a century, last century, the 1900s, that began with science.

We're going to follow science and get rid of all of the stuff that we have learned in the past.

Eugenics is here.

It led to tyrants and fascists and communists.

Who defeated those people?

It's not the great generals and these great armies.

It wasn't a superior war nation.

It was the people.

The people of Great Britain taking their own boats out into the channel to rescue the stranded troops on Dunkirk when their navy couldn't do it.

America was not a warring nation.

Before we entered the war, America didn't have a standing army.

At the beginning, our troops trained with broomsticks because we didn't have enough guns.

It was the little guy that made the difference, on the front line or the assembly line.

It was your grandparents,

your great-grandparents.

They were the ones that made the difference.

They were the ones that built this century of the common man.

If they're still alive,

you should ask them about these days, or the days that came after.

Those people did not think of themselves as heroes, but that's because heroes never do.

I want to take you on a journey here for a second.

And I'll tell you in a few minutes why this is so vitally important to you.

in answering the question, where's the next Abe Lincoln?

Where do we go?

What do we do now?

Everyone else will give you

some answer that involves a new party or Donald Trump or not Donald Trump or whatever.

Please.

come on this journey with me.

I want to tell you about a story arc.

And it's very, very important.

And you'll recognize it.

again.

It's like fanfare for the common man.

You'll recognize it.

You've seen it a thousand times, but you don't know

the arc behind it.

It's 12 steps,

and it's the hero arc.

It's Robin Hood and King Arthur.

It's Simba.

It actually

you can't talk about this arc without talking about the hero's journey

by Joseph Campbell.

He wrote a The Hero with a Thousand Faces.

If you write it all, you've read it.

The hero's journey

is an outer journey and an inner journey.

And the inner journey is what really changes.

It's the growth and the psychological state of the hero.

The inner journey is the foundation of the hero's character.

You have to understand the inner journey to be able to find the hero.

And heroes

have been taken from us now.

There are no heroes.

There are no average men.

We've got Marvel telling us what heroes are.

Those aren't heroes.

Those are comic book heroes.

See if you recognize these.

The 12 stages of the character, hero characters arc.

In every hero's character arc, the hero begins in their ordinary world.

See if you recognize this from any movie.

This is their home, their community, and it gives the reader a baseline from which to judge their later growth.

At this stage, the hero is often ignorant of the outside world, but still feels a certain level of discontent.

Something about their ordinary world isn't right, and this something will slowly push them to venture into the unknown in hopes of solving this problem.

Now here's the first step, the call to adventure.

The call to adventure is pretty well known plot point with the hero's outer journey.

Here they're introduced to the conflict and pushed to engage with it.

However, there's another side to this, the hero's inner journey.

And in that, the call to adventure marks the first time they're asked to come face to face with the flaws of themselves and their world.

Until now, they've lived a sheltered life, sheltered from the outside, even if only through their own

naivety.

Step two is refusing the call.

The refusal of the call is the immediate follow-up from the call to adventure.

Here, most heroes will refuse to believe the flaws they saw through the call.

They'll be unwilling to answer the call at this stage.

And then they meet the mentor.

To clear their mind, the hero will need to meet with a mentor figure.

This could be another character, a spiritual guide, or even an aspect of the hero's own mind.

Whatever it is, this stage helps push the hero to recognize reality by showing them another example of the conflict, both inner and outer, that they're being called to face.

Now, do you remember

Star Wars?

Joseph Campbell met

with George Lucas early on and he said,

what are the great points?

What are the arcs of these stories, these great stories that we always remember?

So you will see this in Star Wars.

Star Wars is probably the best example of it because Joseph Campbell actually showed him.

No, no, no.

Story arc, story arc, story arc.

So you've seen...

the first three, the call to adventure

and being sheltered.

You're starting to sound, he's starting to sound like his father.

He has too much of his father in him.

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.

I just want to get off this old, I want to, I want to, I want to go, I want to go fly.

But then, when he gets the call to adventure,

when he meets Obi-Wan, He says, I can't do that.

I can't go with you.

I've got too much stuff to do.

He's forced into it.

And then he goes to the fourth step, finding allies.

Before the hero can set out on his journey, they need allies to support them.

These allies help the hero mentally prepare for the massive change they're about to experience by giving a lasting connection to their community and their old self.

This is the introduction of Chewbacca and Han Solo.

What are they doing on the ship?

They're bonding,

and it's part of his old world.

He understands that old world,

but he's being called into the new world by having to put the helmet on and fight with the laser bot or whatever the hell that thing was called.

There's a reason I'm telling you this story.

After they find the allies, they face the first threshold.

At the first threshold, the hero begins his outer journey, setting off from his community into the unknown world, into their inner journey.

The hero finally recognizes the call and sets out hoping to find answers.

At this stage, most heroes still believe their lives will return to normal.

Let me say it again: most heroes still believe at this point that they can return to normal, and it is often this belief that propels them forward, even though they still will find out soon that that's not true.

That's no moon.

That's that point,

the first threshold.

That's no moon.

Entering the unknown is the next turn.

The hero is faced with that threshold and steps outside of his ordinary world.

Now,

he's not on a spaceship that he has imagined himself flying before.

Now,

he's on a moon that's a space station.

And he's about to do things that he never thought he would be doing just minutes before.

This is the beginning of the journey that tells the hero character the truth about himself, the truth about how the world works, the truth about his own community.

And he's likely to be beaten down a lot, time and time again.

But it's that beating down that shows him his weakness

and forces them to grow.

If they're to survive, they can no longer close their eyes or remain naive.

Step six

of the hero's journey in 60 seconds.

Let me tell you about rough greens.

Man, I love what this stuff has done to my dog.

I just love it.

He is so active.

He is so healthy.

He just completely acts differently.

Last night,

I just got his food

and he stood there as I put it in a bowl.

And then I pulled out the rough greens and his tail started to wag.

I mean, he knows what that is.

And it's not the dog food.

It's what I put on top of the dog food.

He is so excited to eat now, which is completely different.

Just completely different.

I used to have to hand feed him or not move.

If he was eating, don't move.

Otherwise, he'll look up at you and then he'll be disinterested in his food and he'd walk away.

We couldn't get him to gain weight.

He was not a healthy dog.

He is like four years younger now since we started feeding him rough greens.

So the hero's journey

is entering the unknown and the road of trials is the sixth step.

We're halfway home.

And this portion of their journey is all about learning.

They have to come face to face with who they are.

So on the

road of trials, the hero has entered the unknown and will now have to face the many new challenges and tests of the world.

Here they'll learn about themselves.

They'll come face to face with the conflict they were warned about in the call.

Remember, when he hears the call from Obi-Wan, he wants nothing to do with it.

He's interested in hearing the story, but he doesn't want anything to do with it.

Now he's in the garbage chute.

And he's got to face the call.

And remember, it is the hero that says, wait a minute.

C3PO, C-3PO, turn on all the garbage chutes or turn off all all the garbage chutes, turn them off, turn them off, turn them off.

Here's a guy that was just in a dust

on a nowhere planet

just,

what, two days before?

In the inner journey.

They're still thinking they are who they are and they're going to return home.

But slowly through these trials, they recognize that things were never as simple as they seemed.

The things inside of them probably were not true.

The things that they had learned, the things that they thought of themselves, they begin to understand there is so much more.

Number seven is approaching the cave.

Here the hero will approach a major showdown, the ordeal as it's called in writing.

Both in their outer and inner journey, for their inner journey in particular, the hero will need to face their old beliefs in new ways and

be tempted to abandon their quest.

He is not ready.

In many traditional stories, this is manifested as the hero meeting with a goddess or being tempted by an evil figure.

If they overcome this challenge, they'll have passed the critical test of the hero's character arc.

I've got to face my father.

8.

The ordeal.

The hero will have to prove all that they've learned thus far.

They've overcome their temptation.

They now have to show that through action, the conflict of the outer journey will reach a turning point, and the psychological conflict of the inner journey will as well.

The hero will need to make a choice here.

Join me!

Either embrace the role in in healing, the healing of their wounds of their world,

healing of the wounds inside of themselves, or abandon their quest as the role of the hero.

Join me now.

Feel the power.

How does that first episode end?

Do you remember?

I'll give you a hint.

Number nine, a reward.

If the hero succeeds during the ordeal, they'll receive a reward.

This reward is key both to the conflict of their outer journey and the wounds they're struggling to heal in their inner journey.

The reward could be anything, but it must it must have both plot and character-related aspects.

It should reveal the answer they set out to find after the first threshold.

It ends

with Luke getting a medal.

It ends with Hans Solo getting a medal.

Do you remember?

But that's not the end of the story arc.

That's number nine.

There are 12 steps.

Why am I telling you this?

I'm sure you have figured it out by now.

It's crucial that you understand not only the arc, but why I'm telling this to you.

And we'll do that after this break.

This is the Glenback Glenback Program.

This past year, we saw a lot of cybersecurity attacks.

There were data breaches, network infiltrations, bulk data theft and sales, identity theft, ransomware outbreaks.

The large shift of employees working remotely has coincided with an increase in attacks.

And a recent study suggests that remote workers have become the source of up to 20% of all the cybersecurity incidents that occurred through 2020.

Do you have lifelock yet?

Cybercrime and identity theft will affect your life.

Every day we put our information at risk on the internet, and cyber criminals keep finding new ways to steal our identities.

Where are the George Washingtons?

Where is the Abraham Lincoln?

How do we, what do we do now?

What do we do now?

Those are the questions I'm asked over and over again, and I want to answer both of those things for you in the next 10 minutes.

Now,

I was telling you about Joseph Campbell and

his book,

The Hero's Journey.

And the hero's journey really is

critical that you understand

how heroes are built in stories because stories

heroes are part of the language of our

civilization but all of our heroes and this arc is being taken from us.

So I went through the first part of it, and you can see it in Starware, Star Wars, the call to adventure, the refusing of the call, the meeting of the mentor, finding the allies, allies, facing the first threshold.

That's no moon.

Entering the unknown, the road of trials.

Approaching the cave, the ordeal, the reward.

Now, at the beginning of episode 2, or I should say episode 5,

they start on the ice planet of Hoth, if I'm not mistaken.

And this is right before

Luke goes to Dagobah.

He's got to look for a master teacher.

Now his home has been destroyed, so he can't really return home.

His home now

is

with his group of friends.

The returning home phase, the last three steps on this are all about going back.

And it's a reflection of the first story arc.

The first five steps,

he repeats them.

And

at first they refuse to return home.

They don't want to return home.

Unwilling to give up their new life.

What is, you've got to go to Dagobah.

No, no, no.

I don't have time for this.

You guys are all in danger.

He's unwilling to give up his new life.

Or sometimes unwilling to jeopardize their old life.

or sometimes unwilling to jeopardize their old life.

Depending on the inner journey of the hero, this is the hero's darkest moment when they're unsure of what all of this has been for and if there really is any point to it all.

If they're to succeed,

they have to return home.

Remember when Yoda is asking him all these questions and he finally puts down his bowl, and Luke says, I don't even know what I'm doing here.

I cannot teach him.

No.

He's got to go find a teacher.

And that teacher is to get him home.

Well, who is his home?

He realizes in the end, his home is his family, his father, Vader.

And Princess Leia.

He doesn't know it yet, but that's what's pulling him.

11 is the resurrection.

The hero crosses the return threshold, returning to their community and using all of his skills and knowledge to help heal their world and overcome the conflict of the story.

This is the climax.

He goes back.

And what happens?

He faces Vader.

against all odds.

In the end, the 12th step, finally the hero has returned.

They've resolved the story's conflict, put their reward to work, helping their society prosper.

They've overcome the flaws of their old world and of themselves, and they will help steer their community on a new and better path.

This also comes with freedom for the hero to live their own life at last, often with a foot in both outside and inside their own community.

The resolution is usually bittersweet, but triumphant.

It's what sets the hero apart.

If you're going to write a hero story,

that person, that hero must not only

grow into a better person,

but also into a leader as well.

I don't think you're an idiot.

I think you already know the point of this.

But in case I haven't made myself clear yet, I started with a piece of music.

I started this hour with something that was written right before World War II, just right as we were going into war.

And it was called The Fanfare of the Common Man.

Because...

The vice president had just given a speech and said, this is the century of the common man, the common man.

But Luke was a common kid.

See, the common man cannot remain common.

We are not here

just to remain

who we were,

who we've allowed ourselves to become.

We are here to be shaped and tested.

We are here for the road of the hero's journey.

I want to ask you,

starting in the ordinary world,

have you heard the call to adventure?

It's the conflict that is inside of you and inside the world that you know.

Something is wrong in your

world.

And you want to solve it, but you don't know how.

The call to adventure.

You're pushed to engage with whatever that outer journey is.

And you're faced at the same time with an inner journey.

You have to come face to face with the flaws that are inside of you, not just outside, but inside of you.

If you only take the outer journey without the inner journey, you don't have a hero story.

And when you hear that, and most likely

you don't want to face the outside world, but the inside world is even scarier at times.

It was for me.

At times, it still is.

That's when you refuse the call.

The first thing that you do is, like, I, that's not me.

I don't want to do that.

That's too hard.

Or I don't want to look there.

Or Or I don't want to become that.

I don't want that.

And that's where you are.

A common man.

A common man says no.

Have you met your mentor yet?

Is there someone in your life?

Is there someone that is saying you can do this?

Because if you don't have one yet,

let me say,

you can do this.

You were born to do this.

There is

a greater reality than the one you're living in right now.

But you have to take the steps into the unknown.

Find your allies.

Find the people that will support you on this journey.

So you can prepare to face the first threshold

and return as a hero.

The answer is you.

Who is the hero?

You.

Where is the next Lincoln?

You.

And it may not be the Lincoln that saves the nation.

It may be the Lincoln

that saves your family or your children.

I have to tell you, I have...

I've had quite a few days here that have been relentless.

My poor wife.

We are going through construction in our house, which is never fun.

We've got COVID just like you.

I mean, we don't have it, but kids aren't in school.

Kids are really struggling.

We have faced

great, great depression in our family with our children, two of our children out of the four.

Last Friday,

we couldn't go to the hospital when my daughter was having brain surgery.

And we get a call from my other daughter who was there.

because only one person could be selected to go in.

She wanted her sister.

So she goes in and I get a call from

her sister.

And Hannah is just crying, and she's trying to hold it back.

And it's like 8 o'clock at night.

And she's like, okay, all right.

I don't want you guys to panic.

Okay, well, that's not the thing to say if you don't want us to panic.

Something was wrong with Mary about 12 hours, well, six hours after her surgery.

And

it was so bad that she, and Mary is not like this, started to say her goodbyes to her sister.

As they were taking her out, she was crying and saying how much she loves us, how much she loved her sister, and goodbye.

That's the call I got Friday night.

On top of the other things that are just as big in our life that are happening right now

that I can't talk to you about.

But I guarantee you, if I could, you'd relate.

We're all going through these things.

My wife was in bed last night.

She came to bed.

And there's always trouble when she sits up in bed.

And she sat there for I don't know how long.

She said,

I almost almost stopped at a bar to get a drink today.

Neither one of us drank.

We haven't for 21 years.

I haven't for 25.

She said, I was so close just pulling into a bar and just drinking.

I told her, I said, I'm glad you didn't,

because if you did and didn't bring me, I'd be really pissed.

We are facing our inner journeys.

We are facing our hero arc.

There are problems on the outside and there are problems on the inside that we are having to face.

I urge you.

to not feel alone and not to feel conquered because you are not.

You were just at

step three

of your hero's journey.

That's who you were born to be.

We will learn from not only the past,

but we will learn in our struggles

and the times that we just think we can't go on and we brush ourselves off and we stand back up again.

Our sponsor is Patriot Mobile.

It's increasingly important that patriotic Americans stand together both in our ideology and in our businesses.

The American way of life is under attack, and it has been for a long time, and it is going to get worse before it gets better.

But that's why it's important to consider something like switching to Patriot Mobile for your cell phone carrier.

Patriot Mobile operates on the same cell towers as the other big mobile companies, so you're getting the same great great service, but it's a lot cheaper.

And you're supporting a company that not only doesn't donate to leftist causes, but in fact, it does donate to causes like the First Amendment and the Second Amendment and strengthening those.

And switching is really easy.

You can bring your old phone or you can get a new one.

You can keep your old number, you can get a new one.

Check them out online or call them and make the switch today.

This month get free Premiere Activation, which is where they set everything up up for you.

You'll get a special gift if you use the offer code BEC.

You get the same service, lower price, and the values you believe in.

Go to patriotmobile.com slash Beck.

That's patriotmobile.com slash Beck or 972 Patriot offer code Beck.

Tomorrow night on Glenn TV.

We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.

With Biden in office, it's mission accomplished.

New administration, same old faces from 2008 and 2011, and lots of executive orders identical to the Great Reset.

Glenn looks back at the jaw-dropping changes since 08.

How Biden will complete Obama's radical transformation of America.

Tomorrow night at 9 p.m.

Eastern, only at Placetv.com/slash Glenn.

Stu pointed out that maybe I should give you the rest of the story.

Uh, with uh, with my daughter Mary, uh, for those of you who know, she has cerebral palsy and has been really struggling with

seizures.

She has epilepsy.

And now we found out a few months ago, my other daughter also has epilepsy.

And

so it's been fun.

It's been fun.

So she is.

She went through brain surgery.

She's had a couple of really nasty tests.

And this was the first one.

They went in with a laser and cut off all the scar tissue off of her brain.

Because she had strokes at birth, her brain is wired differently.

Normally they go in and they take like a third of your brain, which is like, really?

You can do that?

But because she uses all different parts of her brain,

they can't do that without really knowing that they're going to cause damage.

So there was no damage done, which was a big relief.

Her brain was swelling from all of the surgery,

and it was

significant.

So I just, I recommended the hard stuff.

I said ibuprofen 800.

And

I don't know if that's what the doctor did, but the next day she was sitting

on our back porch.

And we were talking, she had brain surgery two days before.

What they can do now, truly modern modern miracles.

Miracles that in my lifetime, I have never seen anything like it.

And what's on the horizon is even greater.

This is the Glenn Bach program.

So there is a new article out.

I don't know if you saw this, this new study that says, conservatives say that there's some sort of censorship going on.

This is not true.

It's just not true.

Yeah, you know who funded that study?

Biden's people.

Oh,

okay.

Well, I'm sure they got down to the bottom of it.

Somebody's actually doing something about it.

Bill Richardson is joining us.

That's Stephen Crowder's lawyer filing lawsuit against Facebook, alleging a litany of censorship-related

offenses.

We talked to him in 60 seconds.

Richmond.

What did they say?

Keep saying Richardson.

Oh, that's

the

New Mexico guy.

Right, yeah.

It's not

definitely

not Bill Richardson.

Sorry about that.

Bill Richmond is joining us here in just a second.

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

If you're considering joining a senior group, where are you going to get the most value?

Most bang for your buck.

Well, may I suggest you look into AMAC.

It stands for the Association of Mature American Citizens, and it's got over 2 million members.

It's growing every single day.

And AMAC doesn't provide you with just the discounts and the services that you need and want from a seniors' group, but they also are extremely proactive in representing the kinds of

American values that you hold dear.

They represent courage, faith, and reason in these trying times.

They stand for solvency in this time of runaway debt, national security and sovereignty over unchecked borders.

They believe in the sanctity of life.

They believe in the Second Amendment, the First Amendment.

There is power in numbers.

Join AMAC.

They've been pushing back for years now against the radical left socialist agenda, and it also comes with a wealth of benefits and discounts.

Stand with AMAC as they fight the good fight.

Become a member today.

The benefits are great, but the cause is even greater.

Join right now at amac.us/slashbeck.

That's amac.us/slash beck.

AMAC, it's better, better for you, and better for America.

In a strange turn of events, Stephen Crowder hires former Clintonista Bill Richardson to, no.

Bill Richmond is joining us now.

Definitely, definitely not the guy who was hanging out with Hillary Clinton.

No.

Bill, how are you?

Wonderful.

How are you all?

Well, I'm really good.

So good news, Steven is back.

He was on hiatus.

Must be nice.

You know what I'm saying?

I've been working hard, dealing with lots of stuff.

And yeah, one part of it

is getting everything together.

So yeah,

I'm wondering if you could represent me as well, maybe?

What kind of things do you need?

Bill.

Tell me about the lawsuit that you announced yesterday on the Steven Crowder show.

Absolutely.

We have announced our lawsuit that we'll be filing.

We'll be seeing that in the public court system here in a day or two against Facebook Inc.

And it really centers around something you and I have actually talked about before on the News and Why It Matters about being pro-business but anti-fraud.

What we're saying is that these platforms, most specifically Facebook, need to just be honest with who they are.

And to date, they have not been.

They have lured customers, content creators, and advertising spenders like Steven and his company and other shows like that on all sides of the political spectrum under the guise of being politically neutral.

Unfortunately, that's not actually true.

And the evidence bears out that the conduct at all levels of Facebook has run counter to that.

And so as a consumer, a creator, and advertiser, something has to be done.

And we're doing it.

I mean,

we were there at the very beginning.

I mean, I remember talking about Facebook and Twitter when no one was talking about them and saying, you know, join us.

It's a new platform.

I mean, we put a lot of time and money into building Facebook, and then they're cutting us off from the people who say they want to join with us.

That's exactly the problem.

Everyone knows, and Facebook has never hid the fact.

Every SEC filing, every investor call, every promo they put out says the product is free because you are the product, the data, the data that's gotten from the user.

So they entice the customer and they entice the content creators.

Facebook doesn't create content.

It's you, it's Steven, it's others on the platform to be able to bring their fans to the platform to provide more information.

But doing it under the guise of false pretenses of saying that you're going to run a news feed or a trending topic solely algorithmically when you're not, or saying that you're not using political ideation or political orientation to decide what gets in front of certain eyeballs.

That's just being dishonest.

And that's what we're targeting here.

You know, it's amazing.

I don't know if you have the story from the insider of Facebook that said that BLM was not trending at the very beginning.

And they got so much pushback that they changed the algorithm to make sure that BLM was trending.

That was complete, that whole movement

was bogus.

It was bogus.

It wasn't trending at the beginning.

And that's what we're looking for.

That's what we're trying to finally get these companies, specifically Facebook, to admit, is that this isn't a machine that's doing something.

It's people behind the machine, behind the algorithm, who are making inputs, who are changing levers, who are adjusting dials to go after the flavor of the week.

And when you hear stories like the recently leaked statements of Mark Zuckerberg saying that they've aligned with a lot of policies, executive orders, and a particular administration, it gives you you pause about who's turning those dials.

And we're not saying here, this is a big difference.

We're not saying that the government needs to come in and run this

way.

Right, exactly.

We're saying just be honest about the products and services.

Be honest about how you're using us, the customer, and the content creator.

Look, I mean, I don't think this is unreasonable at all.

We never know the rules.

We never know the rules.

I've done broadcasts now for 40-some years, 45 years, I think.

And I know the rules.

I know what I can and can't say.

I know what I can promote, not promote.

I know all those rules because they're consistent and clearly written down.

And so when it gets vague, maybe it's been vague twice in my career in 40-some years.

And that's only when it became political, honestly.

It's very clear.

Why can't Facebook make it very, very clear so we know?

I can't create content for a group that's constantly changing.

Can anyone?

No one can.

And what's pretty insidious about this is that there are a number of folks at various tech companies who simply want to provide an open product.

But given the nature of the employees that they have coming mostly out of California, the advertisers and media companies that wield a lot of pressure, because again, the entire model is based off of gathering data, tailoring it to advertisers, and then selling that experience to the advertisers.

There's a lot of pressure that comes to adjust those dials.

And when there is that gray area, when you're sitting on the fence looking, well, does it go this way or that way?

The one making the decision, unfortunately, is pushing those dials, pushing those decisions, turning those gray areas consistently against a certain political ideology.

And it runs a gamut of issues.

It's not just, you know, one topic or another.

It's a whole gamut of issues that have become the enemy of the woke.

And that's how these dials are being decided from the evidence that we've seen.

It is also

dangerously close to becoming

totally corrupted with the government because it's a revolving door.

You know, they go in and out from Facebook and Google and then to the administration.

They come out of Congress.

I mean,

this is a public-private partnership

in every way except formalizing it

absolutely the ubiquitous nature of of the media uh being now completely dominated in terms of eyeballs and ears by just a handful of tech companies as opposed to having been widely covered by a number of you know let's radio television or print or even at a time online sources now this total domination has created a place where just a slight adjustment of the dial, just a slight thumb on the scale is going to have massive implications for business owners, whether it's Lauder and Crowder and Stephen's show or other creators across the spectrum.

And this is the thing, these arguments are not arguments dedicated to just one side of the political spectrum.

These affect all Americans who are interested in dealing with a company on a fair level and have adequate disclosures.

We are talking to Bill Richmond.

Stephen calls him the half-Asian attorney.

And he is filing suit this week.

You haven't filed it yet, but you're actually submitting the suit later this week against Facebook to push back on this

fraud that's going on.

Let me,

you know, they came out, what was it, today or yesterday, and they said they just really want Biden's help to regulate this.

You've got CNN coming in, and I don't care what anybody says.

I think Brian Stelter and his little

dirt bag,

you know, I don't know, bat, you know, what is he, Robin in tights?

I'm not sure.

But anyway,

these two guys are leading the push to get people deplatformed from cable companies.

And that means you lose Fox News.

Can you answer to

the statement that it's freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.

There is without question being a pro-business advocate, and Stephen and I have gone back and forth on this, and I know this is an issue close to your heart to support businesses of all sizes of folks who have worked and built something, and being able to tell them, hey, you can do business with the people that you want to.

And at a certain level,

that's very true.

But these tech companies and the media companies have created through their own desire to become as big as possible, have put themselves in the category of utilities, of common carriers, of other essentials in the modern age.

And that's where while you may not be able to guarantee the number of people that you're going to be having, it's about having a level playing field and really just knowing if the playing field isn't going to be level.

If you know, I mean, a lot of folks kind of know, hey, if you're going to be on Twitter, Jack Dorsey, avowed anti-conservative, you kind of know what you're going to get.

Not that they should be able to do anything, not saying that, but they should be more open about what they're doing.

And when actually you referenced earlier that NYU Stern report that came out just a day or two ago saying there is no anti-conservative bias.

First of all, when you look at the data, actually, it does show a bias.

But nonetheless, their conclusions were the same.

It said Facebook and big tech need to have more clarity about their policies so that consumers, advertisers, and content creators, and even government officials taxed with regulating these businesses know exactly what's happening.

But looking into that black box is the last thing they want us to do.

And hey, we're going to pry it open.

What are your chances?

I mean, you're going after Facebook.

They clearly have endless amounts of money and attorneys.

No doubt.

No doubt.

And we know that it's going to be a long, hard slog.

We know that they're going to throw a lot of defenses, most especially and foremost, Section 230 and the way that it's been misinterpreted by certain courts.

We're prepared to be able to do that.

This is going to be a multi-year affair without any doubt.

There are going to be battles won and lost, but we're going for the war and trying to win the whole thing and really benefit all Americans who are interested in fair dealing with big tech companies.

Bill Richmond, thank you very much.

Thank you.

My best to Stephen.

Thank you, sir.

You bet.

It's Mike Lindell.

And when you're going to bed, I mean, I have my own routine.

You know, I spend a few minutes applying my green mud mask to my face made with seaweed and unripened banana peels.

I wrap my hair up in a towel, just a couple of cucumber slices on my eyes, and then I just get ready.

Just get ready, just to take a long winter's nap.

It's great.

It's It's great.

No, I don't do any of those things.

I just sometimes don't even take off my t-shirt.

I just go right to bed

and then I sleep all the way through.

Now, I didn't used to sleep all the way through because I was so uncomfortable, my shoulders, my neck, everything else.

But now I lay down.

on, well, I mean, it might as well be made of cucumber slices and unripened banana.

None of that sounds good.

My pillow is what I use.

that?

Wasn't the right one, was it?

I was supposed to wait 10 seconds.

Is that enough?

Okay.

One, two.

Oh, now it's over?

Okay, good job.

Thank you, buddy.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

You'll see my exhibit right in the men's restroom.

The flushing kind of hurts, you know, in listening to some of the old bits, but smell is always great from the show.

Groundhog Day.

Do you feel like you're

the history is repeating itself and you're getting up and it's the same day over and over again,

except it's not quite the same.

It's worse than it was the day before.

I mean, I would take Bill Murray.

I'd take that day over these days.

Would you take that day?

This was constantly annoying, not continually worsening.

Yeah.

And, you know, quite honestly, in the end, he had fun.

He had fun.

It worked out.

Worked out.

And he got a hot girl at the end.

I don't think that's going to work for any of us.

I don't think that's the way this story ends, really, for any of us.

And we don't have Bill Murray along with us to make us laugh.

So.

Yeah, that's 2021 for you.

I hate Groundhog Day.

But we're supposed to learn something.

And I don't know what it is we're supposed to learn, but we haven't learned it yet because it's getting worse and it keeps repeating itself.

So for the love of Pete,

let's look into what it is we're supposed to learn and fix it.

Okay.

Now, the Capitol Police and the National Guard have put up razor wire to keep all of the preschoolers from sledding on the snow there at the Capitol, which I think is good.

I think a little Billy might come, you know, might be sledding and come home, you know, like, hey, half my body is in the snow.

I don't know.

It's a razor wire offense, but

they don't want anybody frolicking in the snow.

Now, this is a long time tradition in Washington.

If you live, you go to Capitol Hill.

It is actually a hill, a little hill, but it is an actual hill, and you sled.

You can't now because of the National Guard troops and the razor, the razor wire that they have now erected around the Capitol.

Now, I'm not going to, yes, I am.

I'm going to say it.

Can you imagine if any Republican would have done this, what they would have been saying?

They've built a razor wire fence around our Capitol,

and they've got National Guard troops

as they're executing executive order after executive order after executive.

I don't know.

You keep using the word fascist.

I do not think it means what you think it means.

I mean, really.

We still don't know why the National Guard is there.

I mean, they think continuing threats.

Like they keep issuing the terrorists.

They did the national terrorist threat.

What I find to be fascinating about this is, remember when this all happened, the big talking point that everyone was like, oh, what an enlightening point was,

can you imagine if it was black people who did this?

Can you imagine what would happen?

I mean, since it was white people, the cops did nothing, but if it was black people, can you imagine?

Well, let's examine what they've done when it was white people.

First of all, they shot one of them and killed them.

Multiple people died in the crowd.

Then they erected a wall around the entire building.

Then they put 22,000 National Guard troops in D.C.

and are keeping 5,000 of them there until mid-March at least.

That's what they did when white people did that.

Well, they are only putting them there until we flatten the curve.

That's true.

Then they can flatten the curve of violence.

That's what they did with white people.

What have they done when black people do it?

Nothing.

I don't know.

I saw an entire target cleaned out every single thing in the store that doesn't take three minutes and there is no police to be found anyway i saw a bunch of people who were protesters walk up to a police precinct in minneapolis and the police left so they could burn it to the ground that's what happened i remember a little place called chaz where they abandoned part of the city to give it over to an autonomous zone for months.

I've seen this happen all over the country.

I mean, I don't

know.

When it's left-wing.

I don't want to hear it.

I don't want to hear it.

Have you seen the report on the homicide spike?

Because you're going to tie this in again.

Yeah, that's probably.

That's what I do.

Nope.

It's not that.

There's a new study out for the government, and

because

homicides have gone through the roof.

Like, we are 150% in some of these cities.

Well,

they did some research on it to find out what causes that.

COVID.

COVID.

COVID.

This is the Glenbach program.

Okay.

All right.

Let me tell you about Timeshare Termination Team.

Here's a lesson that you've learned.

That one leaves a mark.

You're not going to forget this lesson.

You and some friends went out on a boat for a three-hour tour, ended up spending 20 years on an island making radios out of coconut shells.

That was rough.

That was rough.

That's a lesson you're just not going to get back.

Why were you on the boat in the first place?

Because somebody's like, hey, come on on the boat, and I'm going to give you some free MyTithes.

We're going to talk about a timeshare.

You ended up, you ended up

making everything you have out of coconuts.

It's not good.

You've learned your lesson, though, haven't you?

You want to get out of timeshare?

Get out of your timeshare legally, 100% guaranteed.

Timeshare termination team.

Get the process started.

Don't keep putting it off.

Don't get stuck with another year of timeshare that you're not going to use.

You'll get 20% off when you terminate your timeshare legally.

Well,

the turtle has poked his head out from his shell,

Mitch McConnell.

He wants everybody to know that

the new congressman from Georgia

is

crazy,

Just crazy.

This is Marjorie Taylor Green.

She's nuts.

But not only did he say that, he said, what she says is a cancer.

Well, now, let me ask you something.

You go to a doctor and he tells you you have cancer and says,

But we can live with it.

Do you go see another doctor?

Probably.

Yeah.

Yeah.

At least get a second opinion.

Sure.

But we can, wait, you're not going to do anything?

Nah.

It's a cancer.

Oh my gosh.

And cancers will kill you.

Well, is it a different kind of?

No, it's the same kind of cancer.

It'll kill you dead.

It's crazy bad.

We can live with it.

Could we stop people calling people cancers?

She might be on the lunatic fringe.

She believes some things that I don't believe.

I didn't vote for.

Georgia did.

They also voted for Senator Warnock,

who believes in all kinds of crazy things that I don't believe.

I tried to alert the people of Georgia.

The people of Georgia didn't seem to care.

Or there were more people that thought, hey, communism's neat.

And so Warnock's in the Senate.

I don't know.

Warnock's not a cancer, but some of the ideas that he expresses certainly is.

Now,

do I think we should,

as a country, no, not even as a country, do I think our political parties should start targeting people who they don't agree with and say, we're going to put them in a little box.

They're in the timeout corner for the next two years.

Don't want it.

Nope.

Zip it.

Zip it, little girl.

Zip it.

No,

the people of Georgia elected her.

If they don't like her, well, then they shouldn't have voted and they can vote again.

This is a representative republic.

People hire the people they want to send for their community.

And that's what that district decided.

That person represents me.

Just like like the great state of Georgia picks Senator Warnock.

I mean, I was sitting here and I'm listening to this.

And again, I don't agree with a lot of stuff.

She's a deep Q person.

I haven't even gone down the,

I haven't even, somebody was like, rabbits.

And I'm like, I'm not looking for them with you.

I'm not going down that hole because that is, that is, it's so clear that it is a way to explain things that are unexplainable

and so clearly, in my opinion, completely wrong.

So she's gone down that rabbit hole.

She believes it.

Okay.

All right.

Don't agree with that at all.

She's not coming over to my house most likely for dinner.

You know what I mean?

She definitely said some things that are way out there.

She seems to now be saying that she doesn't believe those things anymore.

Just in the middle of the day.

Well, but she's also said that Nancy Pelosi should be

executed.

There's all sorts of things.

But did she say for treason?

For yeah,

I believe so.

Everybody said, I mean, not everybody, but a lot of people in the mainstream media and a lot of people in Congress said that Donald Trump should be tried for treason.

Oh, yeah.

And I said at the time, hey, let's not throw the T-word around because that's the only one in the Constitution that has a specific specific penalty and it's death.

So everything else, you might, yeah, you get three to six.

This one is, he'll get three to six, bullets in the head.

This one, when you accuse somebody of treason, it's execution.

Okay, so let's stop.

Just because she named the punishment that is directly tied to treason makes it, I guess, so much more worse.

But everybody was saying that about Donald Trump on the left.

I'm not excusing it i'm just telling you yeah i said don't do it then i'm saying don't do it now the larger point here though i think it first of all georgia gets to pick whoever the hell they want yep that's that's what they're you don't just get to remove them because you don't like what they said on facebook five years ago we are republic yeah they get that this is what representatives are they're not the representatives of what nancy pelosi wants it's what people the people of georgia want so that's nor is it the nor is it the representative that mitch mcconnell wants yeah it doesn't matter

And they can all be critical.

They can all say their things, but you don't remove people.

The way you remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from Congress is to primary her in two years.

Dangerous.

That's how you do it if you want to do it.

But beyond that, like it's so clear what the media is doing.

You know, people always say, oh, you just want to talk about AOC because she's an idiot and you want her to define the Democrats.

Yes, that's exactly why I want to talk about AOC because she's an idiot and she's the one that blurts out all the things they say quietly behind the scenes.

That's why I like talking about AOC because she is a very easy way for people to understand what the left is trying to do.

And this is what they're trying to do here is say, well, this is the rights AOC.

We're going to talk about this person that no one had talked about and had talked about at all for the past.

I don't think anybody knew who she was.

And now they're just coming out and making a huge deal out of this one representative in Georgia because they're trying to define the entire conservative movement based on this one person who said a lot of bad things.

Do me a favor, will you?

You remember the game Red Rover, Red Rover,

send, you know, Marjorie Taylor Greene right over.

Okay.

Okay.

You play that side.

Go ahead.

Red Rover, you know, you were

everybody lined up.

Red Rover, Red Rover.

Who am I?

You're the Democrats.

Okay, I'm pulling Marjorie Taylor Greene over.

Okay.

Red Rover, Red Rover.

Gee, where do we start, guys?

Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi.

I mean, the list was ridiculous.

I mean, you could do this list all day.

You're going to do Red Rover, Red Rover.

You'll be out of crazy people.

Yeah.

Maybe four.

Maybe four.

Right.

I can't even think of four.

Right.

Maybe four.

You'd have more people who have met with Fidel Castro

in the day.

Red Rover, Red Rover.

How many people come over?

Red Rover, Red Rover.

Send anyone who's hung out with Louis Farrakhan

and actually said that they supported those things, but now, oh, no, I never said anything.

I don't believe it.

We're just listening to all types of points of view.

Send those right over.

How many come?

It's easier to do with these names.

If I were to say, Red Rover, Red Rover, send all your QAnon believers over.

You send, what, one or two, probably from the house.

Yeah.

And then you say, send people who meet with.

Red Rover, Red Rover, send your

people that claim that

Israel is South Africa apartheid right over.

Right.

Hey.

Red Rover, Red Rover.

The third of the friggin conference is coming over on that one.

Red Rover, Red Rover, send everyone who believes the ends justify the means and Sololinsky believers right over.

Yeah.

Red Rover, Red Rover, send everybody who believes that the Soviets were probably right.

I mean, you know,

it didn't work out so well, but it just wasn't done properly in the Soviet Union or in China or

in Cuba.

And people who happen to go to the Soviet Union on their honeymoon.

Send those people over.

I mean, again, you could get, there's just not a contest here.

That doesn't mean that we embrace every crazy person who's on the right.

I mean, but, you know, but still, like, it needs to be said that these things, these equivalent theories, things like, you know,

HIV was created by the government, right?

The new senator from Georgia, back to the guy who said that.

The guy who said that, he praised years after the controversy.

He said, not only was he good, but

the sermon where he said a lot of these controversial things was an excellent sermon.

Yeah.

He said that, and he got elected by the state of Georgia.

Red Rover, Red Rover, send everyone who thought 9-11 was an inside job and George Bush was part of it right over.

You're now at one point, two-thirds of all Democrats.

So, I mean, you would play this game all day.

It's silly.

So the point of this is: you want to play this game?

Oh, we'll play this game.

But it's an un-American game because that's an elected representative.

I don't want you to get rid of Rashida Tlaib in Washington.

I think her district should, but it's not going to happen because her district represents her.

She represents the people living in that district.

So, unless she's doing something illegal,

Minnesota,

Unless you're doing something illegal, you don't just take AOC out.

You don't do it.

She's an elected representative.

Red Rover, Red Rover, send anyone who's married their brother over.

Well, in that case, you do only get one.

There you go.

That we know of.

Let's not go crazy.

Yeah, you're right.

You're right.

So, you know,

who am I to judge?

There,

but by the grace of God.

Yeah, I don't think you're going to marry your brother anytime soon, so I think you're safe on that one.

Yeah, you're right.

Yeah, you're right.

Buying and selling houses is a huge hassle, especially,

I mean, geez, man, houses didn't change for how long.

They had those stupid living rooms that nobody used, and the stupid dining room by the door that nobody used.

Then I'd buy a house, and now everybody's got, oh, I don't want one with a former living room, former dining room, a UR

Hippies.

I'm telling you, it's the hippie generation.

They have destroyed my life.

It's a different theory.

Anyway, I hired somebody, realestate agentsitrust.com, and I brought them in.

from Jen Pasaki.

The P is silent there is Jensaki.

Oh, like the P in Pesaks?

Pusaki Pesaks?

I got it.

Thank you for that.

So here she is, Jen Pasaki.

She is the press secretary for Joe Biden.

Here she is on the Twitter ban.

This may be hard to believe.

We don't spend a lot of time talking about or thinking about President Trump here, former President Trump, to be very clear.

I think that's a question that's probably more appropriate for Republican members who are looking for ways to support a bipartisan package and whether that gives them space.

But I can't say we miss him on Twitter.

Does President Biden support the continuing ban of President Trump on their sites?

I think that's a decision made by Twitter.

We've certainly spoken to, and he's spoken to, the need for social media platforms to continue to take steps to reduce hate speech.

But we don't have more for you on it than that.

That sucks, doesn't it?

Pa sucks to be P you.

Wait, no, it's not.

No, it's not.

I don't think that's

no P in front of you, I know.

Except in some words, which I will not spell out right now, but that really kind of describes you because you like Pisaki.

You have a secret crush on her.

I don't know what you're talking about, which I do not understand.

Do you understand that one, Sarah?

No, she doesn't understand that either.

She just

seems delightful.

That's Pasaki's husband or wife, whoever she's married to, is right now going, I don't understand, Stu.

I don't get it.

I just think she seems, you know,

look, Jensaki's not the problem here.

We need to understand that.

I did this on a dare.

Please have at it.

I don't know what you're referring to, but

I think

you are, you know, off air.

Stu is so gentle.

Every time Pasaki comes on Patelvision,

he just stops everything.

And he's just like,

it is.

Sarah, back me up.

Yes.

She's backing that.

100%.

100%.

She's watching.

I don't know anything about math.

100%.

She doesn't know what that means.

Okay.

Margin of error, 3%.

Plus or minus, which means it could be 103%.

Every time you just stop and you're gazing up at the television, I don't even have to look up to see what you're looking at.

It's Pisaki.

This is a bizarre theory that you have.

I don't know where it comes from.

I just think that, look,

there is some bipartisanship that we all need to have.

And that's my effort at bipartisan ships to say it's not Jensaki's fault.

None of this is Jensaki's fault.

All the terrible things that happened, never her fault.

That's all.

That's not a crush.

That's just bipartisan shit.

No, that's a crush.

That's a crush.

You have.

I mean, look, is it?

You have a weird thing for her.

I don't know.

It's not.

It is weird.

It is weird.

To her husband, it's weird.

I'm sure her husband would find it weird, as would my wife.

But I don't, what you're referring to, your wife.

She's a wife would be like, really?

I mean, let's call your wife.

Can I call your wife?

No, she's not.

She's not available.

That's what she'd say, right?

She's not available.

She'd be like, really?

Yeah, no.

She would recognize that what you're saying is false.

I mean,

she's a fine-looking woman.

Don't get me wrong.

But

to make you cross over to the aisle and say, hey, hey, hey, hey.

I am trying to bring this country together here.

Wow.

And you are...

Wow.

Get a room.

You're Peruing.

And it could be a small room because there ain't a lot of people going in after you for that uniting.

No.

I'm not going down that road.

I'm just trying to bring the country together, Glenn.

And hear you.

More divisive action.

I should be silenced.

You should be silenced.

I've been saying that for a long time.

I've been telling Pasaki about it.

She doesn't always answer, but she always looks knowingly through the television.

Now she's sending you messages.

The Glenback program.

Yeah, so CNN was talking about the great snowstorm of 2021.

The one that has buried the capital.

Buried it in like 20-some inches.

And

that's a sign of global warming.

Is it not so fast, Kimo-Sabi?

I don't think so.

How could I say that?

Because when I was 18 years old, I went on a job interview and they had 30 inches of snow and I was trapped in that city for three days.

Oh, well, that must have been global cooling at the time.

Aha.

We'll give you the update in 60 seconds.

The Glenbeck program.

Oh, my Patriot supply.

Let's say global warming hits and all of a sudden you have something unexpected like snowstorms.

Right?

Okay, you got it.

You're like, I didn't think that it was ever going to snow again.

And because it never snows here.

Well,

they were also telling you it was never going to snow again.

Snow would be extinct because of global warming.

Exactly.

So now you're at home and you got nothing.

You've got duck sauce.

That's all that you have left in your refrigerator.

Who's laughing now, clown?

Not me, because I've been prepared with my Patriot supply.

Emergency food.

Emergency food.

It's not all zombies and government takeovers.

It's for things like, I don't know, a snowstorm.

I urge you to check out My Patriot Supply.

Their food stays fresh for up to 25 years in proper storage, so you're never going to have to go

hungry or stand, you know, in government food lines.

You are prepared.

Secure a four-week, three-month, or even a one-year emergency food kit.

They provide 2,000 calories a day.

It's all fun and games until some snowman takes your eye out with a carrot nose.

I don't even know what that means.

Mypatriotsupply.com.

Mypatriotsupply.com.

Go there now.

Mypatriotsupply.com.

Wish I would have had that when I was 18 years old.

Must have been

1983,

I think.

And I went for an interview in Washington, D.C.

And my plane arrived like at 1 o'clock in the morning.

And it was the last plane to land.

Because I don't remember what they even called it.

It was some big

superstorm.

The end of the world superstorm.

I think is what they called it then.

We're all going to die.

Here comes the polar cap going to land on top of the Capitol.

Should have known.

Cap.

Capital.

Sounds alike.

And they had a ton of snow.

I don't even know.

Look it up.

Would you still?

Yeah, no, I've already been doing that.

Because usually when you tell these stories, you're just butchering the details.

So I have to try to check you as you talk about it to see if you're actually telling the truth.

You are my media matters.

Basically, yeah, that's my job.

All right, okay.

Yeah, no, you're right.

There was a big, the megapolitan blizzard of February 10th.

Megapolitan blizzard?

That's what they call it.

At least that's what the Washington Post is calling it.

February 10th through 12th, 1983.

A lot of snow, Glenn.

A lot of snow.

How much?

Because I remember it closing everything down.

It was over two feet.

I think it was like 30 inches or so.

Let's see.

I was in northern Maryland.

Germantown of Frederick, Maryland, both received 30 inches of snow.

Western Loudoun County, Virginia, up to 38 inches of snow.

Braddock Heights, west of Frederick, Maryland, received 34.9 inches.

Global warming.

Global Global warming.

I don't know why that would prove global warming.

That part of your story is not checking out.

Yeah, really?

Yeah, I thought for sure, because this one proves global warming to the nut jobs up in Times Square in New York.

1983, they were probably still embracing global cooling.

Yeah, they were.

They probably hadn't switched yet.

So, yeah, they were going to say this was, that would have fit that narrative.

I don't know how they're squeezing this one in.

Well, it's climate change.

That's more moisture.

They keep coming back to the same three or four things.

But again, we've seen them go to the well over and over again saying that global warming would eliminate snow.

The kids would grow up their entire lives.

Well, they were not wrong about that, but they're not about this.

Oh, okay.

They're not about catastrophic climate change.

Because science is always right until science itself says that it was previously wrong.

Wrong, exactly.

It's right in effect.

And then believe them.

Here's the latest on this snowstorm.

And a lot of people say, gee, this does not look like global warming.

How does climate change fit into this?

Well, what you just talked about is exactly what happened.

Three of the ten driest winters happened in the last 20 years, right?

So we're not getting as much winter.

We're getting mild winters.

But when the storms come, it's like you're wonderful.

Six of the ten big

history have happened in the last 20 years.

Before the movie and the storm.

And we have records here that go back 150 years ago.

But if you storm out the mall and you have a dry storm like this every 15 years, we're getting a mistake.

And then you drink some more soda and you have no place to warm up all that warmth after the movie.

Energy.

You're getting the cold air coming down

from the Arctic.

Bam, you get all that atmospheric energy, which creates that energy

just all tinkling there, and it's a stream.

That's what's happening.

That's what's happening?

That's what's happening right there.

Yep, yep.

That's what that was.

Yep.

It's fascinating that they just keep going down this road.

You know, I don't.

They just are so committed to it.

And it's like anything that occurs is always explained by global warming.

You know, know we used to do these lists of well it's an emergency now you know yeah it's an it's a it's a it's a cataclysmic emergency at all times

and every single thing that occurs goes back to this it's the same way they talk about race right every single incident goes back to racism like there's now a thing this is real there's now a thing that what that the bernie sanders meme of him and mittens you know blowing it up yeah yeah yeah yeah is white privilege

that shows white privilege and there's people talking about this as if it's legitimate.

Every single thing.

How does that show white privilege?

Because you can be grumpy and

grumpy and have very expensive mittens at an elitist ceremony.

That's what white people do.

Now, wait a minute.

The vice president of the United States who's on stage is not white.

How is that show white?

On stage.

On stage.

Yes.

Dancing.

No.

Did you make her dance?

Oh, you make me sick.

We talked about the example yesterday where Ben and Jerry's is now pissed off because apparently cops are I don't know.

Believe me, I don't know if any of this is true, but supposedly cops are arresting and fining black people more often than white people when it comes to social distancing requirements.

But like, isn't the reverse true?

If you didn't like black people, you would want to enforce

Jack

Beijing Jack from Twitter.

Jack from Twitter, please censor this guy.

Please, for the love of peace, he's denying global climate change.

Jack from Twitter.

Oops, wait a minute.

I didn't mean to still be on the ball horn.

Let me set you straight here.

Please, Mr.

ignorant, knuckle-dragging white guy.

Gina McCarthy,

the national climate advisor.

You don't get that job just because you're in a certain group.

The national climate

advisor for President Biden

said now that climate change, a priority for this administration, is also a racial justice issue.

She said

that the issue exacerbates the challenges in the communities that have been left behind.

It goes to the very same communities that pollution has held back in the, quote, cancer alley of Louisiana.

You should not move onto that street.

I mean, we need realestate agents I trust.com to remind you not to buy a house on Cancer Alley.

Yeah, well, I used to, I used to bowl there.

Oh, really?

Yeah, it was the Cancer Alleys.

Oh, God.

But it was not.

It was for bad bowlers.

Bad bowlers.

I mean, is it better than Hepatitis Street?

Sure.

But

not by much.

Not Cancer Alley.

Syphilis Boulevard is a place you could go.

Chlamydia Court is.

You know what?

There is a really nice restaurant, just like a little boutique restaurant on Cancer Alley.

Oh, really?

Yeah, it's really, it's really nice.

Sounds nice.

If you just get in and get out real fast, you know what I mean?

Maybe you just have a little skin cancer.

Right.

You know, but nothing serious.

Don't go twice, though.

No repeat customers.

Anyway, she says it goes back to the very same community.

Climate justice is about equal rights.

The poorest and most vulnerable communities, the ones that have not been invested in, tend to feel the effects of climate crisis more than the affluent areas.

For example, Cancer Alley,

a home to chemical plants and dangerous air pollution, as well as minority and poor communities.

Well, yes, generally speaking, you don't find the nicest houses around the nuclear power plant.

You know, somebody, Pat, Pat was going on a train with me the first time up and down the Eastern Corridor, And

he said,

have you noticed?

I mean, some of these cities are beautiful, but the train goes through the worst sections of town.

Yes,

because people move away from the choo-choo train.

Right.

That's definitely what happens.

People don't want to be there, which is why these train projects are such a disaster, right?

They try to put these train projects.

They're like, well, we got to build high-speed.

How How about light rail?

High-speed rail.

We're going to build them.

And where do they build them?

Well, no one wants them going anywhere near them.

So it goes to areas where people aren't, which is not the high-speed train over by the giant windmills.

That nobody, there's lots of land there.

Nobody wants to go there.

Put that over by Scabies Avenue.

And that

people will laugh.

Oh, man.

Let me tell tell you about our commercial sponsor this half hour.

Stew, stew, stew, stew, stew.

Do you see that Elon Musk wants to go to the moon?

He wants to go to Mars.

You know that.

He says they're on track.

Might even push it up a bit, but

he's looking for the people now that want to go to, you know, want to go to Mars.

And I've never really been one for Mars, you know, at this time of year.

Really?

Yeah.

Too cold.

To

fill in the blank.

You know what I mean?

But

I'm feeling a little fat and bloated on this planet.

And I'll be lighter.

Best way to lose 50 pounds, take your scale to Mars.

You know what I'm saying?

So that's that and that is.

I don't know if it's a fast way.

It takes quite a bit of time to get there.

So I'm not sure that it would be a quick way.

You know, if you lose weight quickly, you put it right back on.

You know, so I'm going to take my time

losing weight.

But anyway, the

idea of going to Mars has always been fun, but then you're like, you could die.

You'd be away from your family for a long time.

These cats probably are not coming back.

I don't think so.

I mean, once you've seen Mars, it's like the Grand Canyon.

Yep.

Seen it.

Now what?

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Like the view's cool.

And

then you're fertilizing potatoes with your own excrements.

Yes.

And you're like, that's not,

you know, I've seen it and it's beautiful.

It really is.

It's always a great view.

But once you live there for a while, you're like,

all of it is like this.

All of it.

There's no place, there's no cancun on Mars.

Where are you going?

Hey, I'm going to take a vacation.

Where?

Outside?

I don't think so.

To the other red flat place.

Right, right.

And you're not just going to go out and just like, I'm just, you know what?

We're just going out for a hike and pitching a tent.

No, you're not.

No, you're not.

No.

You're going to be here in this little teeny air box.

And congratulations.

I know at this this point, you have either had sex with all of them

and or you now hate all of them.

But congratulations for the rest of your life, you're in this crap hole with a bunch of red dirt outside.

Yeah, you need an odd combination of being very adventurous and also very depressed by life on this planet.

I'm there.

Are you

not very adventurous?

Well, I am kind of adventurous.

Not like, hey, let's go to Mars this weekend.

But like, hey, let's go to Paris this weekend.

You know, that I could do.

Mars is a little bit of a stretch.

Right.

But

depressed on what's this going on?

Yeah.

And I think, you know, a good Skype call to the kids once in a while, I think it'd be okay.

Check in.

Yeah.

You're not saying you're never going to see them again.

You'll just only see them on a screen.

Hey, how's school going?

I can't talk.

Hey,

kids, break it.

Turn it off.

I think that's fine.

Yeah.

It's more parenting than they need.

The kids really need a lot of, you know, perfectly.

Well, not as much as they need, but as much as they'll allow you to do at a certain point.

You know what I mean?

It does hit that point.

Yeah, it hits that point to where

I might have to choke you to death to get you to do it.

And so that would be kind of bad because you'd be dead and so you wouldn't learn the lesson.

But on the other hand, you'd be dead.

I actually saw a documentary where the dad was always strangling the kid called The Simpsons, and the kid lives through all all of it.

All of it.

So you should be following on that friend.

And he's a great kid.

He turns out to be a great kid.

A great kid.

You had made a someone was talking about the secession of

the conservatives to just secede, which have our own country.

And you said, no, I'm for secession.

I don't want them to secede.

Yeah.

Right?

Yeah.

Well, why don't you just send your kids to Mars?

Whoa.

I mean, that way you get to still go to like Waffle House, you know, 12 to 15 times per week.

And then they also won't.

And I wouldn't care as much about the country if I knew my kids and all my grandkids would all be on Mars.

Right.

When you believe your children are the future, but the cities are going to be burning to the ground every time.

I can ride this baby out happily.

I'll just be like, hey, whatever.

Burn it to the ground.

I'll move to another place.

Unless it's cold.

Then maybe I'll move there.

It'll be nice and warm.

by the fires of the target and the auto zone.

The warm years.

That's the best thing about Minneapolis.

You know, sure, it's cold, but you have the warmth of the town burning down all around you to kind of give you that cozy kind of

round-the-campfire kind of feeling.

Exactly.

Right.

I mean, I will say, I was in Minnesota, I guess, three years ago now.

It's changed.

Yeah.

It was really cold.

I would assume that problem's gone away.

Yeah.

You know,

because I remember it being like frigid to the point as if I wondered, why would someone choose to build a civilization here?

Yes.

Like that's the feeling.

I have been there at that time of year.

Yeah.

And you're like, well, I've noticed what they've done here with the city is they've connected all the buildings like a giant hamster trail.

Yeah.

Like you're

one of those hamster cages.

Yeah.

And you were walking back and forth between the buildings.

What they've essentially done is converted the city into a mall.

Right.

Where you're everywhere you go, you just walk inside, which is fine, except for the fact that you, there are places, there's lots of open room in like Texas where you could build a civilization in which you don't have to do such things.

I thought of that.

I don't know why they haven't thought of that.

I don't know.

You know, and they all say, oh, no, I've lived here my whole life.

Okay.

All right.

So you've had a lot of time to think.

You've had a lot of time to think.

That's not working as a point in your favor.

Yeah.

Okay.

So you've used all this time.

Why are you here?

Oh, the summers are great.

Yeah, but.

yeah, but the summer's 18 minutes long.

The summer is it comes and goes.

It's riddled with mosquitoes, and then you're right back to 14 feet of snow.

Again, how much time do you need to think this through?

You've spent most of your life doing this?

That's not a good idea.

No, and at least the residents there seem to be able to take it like they're tough enough to be able to take it.

They've been there for a long time.

I was there when there's lots of tourists and stuff there.

And every one of them looks like Jack Nicholson from The Shining at the end.

Like Like, they're just outside with that look on their face.

No, I'm saying, like, the frozen one at the very end, where he's just outside, and there's no facial expressions because he's literally frozen to death.

That is basically, and no, spoiler alert on The Shining.

Sorry about that.

But I mean, this is.

It doesn't work out for the kids and the dads.

Actually, yeah.

I thought that book was going to really turn into something good.

Yeah.

No, it was on its way.

There's a lot of typing, a lot of similar lines, which is not a great read.

But yeah, I think that that is, that's almost,

you walk into things, right?

Like people get born in a city that they don't like and they stay there their whole lives because that's where they were born.

Right.

That happened to a bunch of cities in the north.

They popped them up there thinking, like, I don't know.

Is there a better place to live?

I'm not sure.

We don't have air conditioning yet, so I don't want to live down there.

Well, you should have known we were going to come up with air conditioning because now the South is a cool thing.

And now you have no excuse.

It's been a long time since we've had air conditioning.

And by the way,

because I hear this all the time.

Well, I live there because,

you know, my folks, they're there now and we can't, we don't want to move away from my folks.

Your parents, your parents sucked.

They had their whole life to figure it out.

And they were probably like, yeah, well, my folks are here.

And so,

you know, after they die, we might move.

And then they just lived there.

And then they had children there.

And that's you now.

And you're an adult.

And now you're saying the same thing they said.

Get out of the city.

To be fair, it is hard to sell your house on Gonoria Gonoria Terrace.

So I think

it could be.

It is

again,

it's just on the edge of that beautiful orange glow in the sky that you get from the fires at night.

So that's nice.

Yeah,

yeah.

All right.

Back in just a second with more.

We'll try to come up with something that is meaningful.

Nah.

This is the Glenback program.

So let's say that you're in Minnesota

and you buy a grill, an outdoor grill.

Oh, you can use it that one afternoon.

It's wonderful.

Unless you have a RekTech, because RekTech will let you do everything from the inside.

You still have to go outside for a fraction of a second, open it up, and then just put the meat or whatever you're cooking and close and then run back in.

But you can start it.

You can monitor it.

You could do everything from an app on your phone.

Now,

it probably clash with the igloo if that's where you live.

You know, because it's very modern, high-tech.

You do have to plug it in.

Where do you put an outlet?

Are they six feet away?

Are they required to be six feet away in an igloo?

Because you really have to plan that well.

Otherwise, one would be four feet from another.

Because once you complete that circle, you better be very careful.

Anyway, look, I don't know what's up to code in your house.

I just know that RekTech is fantastic.

Check them out.

If you're looking to buy something to grill your food on, there's nothing better than RECTEQ.com.

But the first hour, I answered two questions that are the most frequently asked question of me:

where is the next Lincoln?

Where's the next Washington?

And okay,

what do we do now?

And I laid it all out for you and gave you some

not an easy answer, but a pretty simple answer.

And you can hear that in hour number one of today's podcast, available wherever you get your podcast or at Blaze TV.

I'm going to go back and take a serious look at what we were talking about with Elon Musk and his plans to get humans on Mars by 2026.

Think of all of the things that we can do right now.

Think of all the things that are, I mean, medicine is,

I mean, just totally different.

My daughter had brain surgery this last week, and

just a couple of years ago, they were cutting the full skull cap off,

you know, and getting their hands in there.

And now

it was just a little teeny hole, and they stick lasers in there, and they do all of the work all around the brain.

Which just through this little hole.

I mean, it's amazing.

The Elon Musk probes, have you heard about the, what does he call those things?

The probes that he's putting in brains, he's just put them in a monkey.

And he said it's one happy monkey.

He can now play video games just by using his brain.

He just thinks about this video game and it turns on and it starts doing what he's thinking.

I mean,

holy cow.

That's so bizarre.

Here we are sitting here thinking about, oh, you know, we need a lesbian as a sheriff.

What?

Elon Musk, man, I don't care.

Where is he from?

Are you saying we don't need a lesbian as a sheriff?

Oh, he's not.

We can have one.

Sure.

I don't really care.

But it's not like a goal for me.

You know, it's not like my town's got to be the first to have a lesbian sheriff.

I don't really care.

If she happens to dig chicks and she's a good sheriff, I'm cool.

That's fine.

I'm totally cool.

But I mean, look at how the administration is staffing everything.

Oh, yeah.

Everything is being staffed like Seattle.

It's the first this and the first that and the first this.

It's like, all right.

Like, are you picking the best people?

Like, it doesn't seem like you're picking the best people.

It seems like you're just picking people that crossed these boxes off.

It's like, is Elon Musk?

I always think he's German, but he's like

South African, right?

Yeah.

Same Germany, South Africa.

Yeah, you got it.

You know what I'm saying?

Not Exactly.

I don't really care where he's from.

I'd choose him as a leader.

I would disagree with a lot of his policies, but at least he's

the only guy that doesn't seem totally corrupt with this crazy, let's make everybody do exactly what I say kind of mentality.

You know, he believes in global warming.

That's why he's building a stupid spaceship to Mars.

He believes in global warming.

He also believes in the singularity, And he's like, you don't want to be around for that one.

That's why he's pushing so hard for 2025 or 2026.

But if you look at what, I mean, we are so distracted right now, we don't even see the miracles in our own lives.

I mean,

I'm fortunate.

I'm surrounded by a bunch of people who have said that COVID has been the worst thing and the best thing that has happened to them in a long time.

It's horrible because of X, Y, and Z, but boy, has it really made me XYZ.

And

it's like that with everything.

That when you are meant to learn something, you're being stretched, you're being pushed against the wall, and you can either bitch and complain.

I'm sorry.

Am I just doing myself?

Am I doing therapy on myself for my kids?

You either conquer it.

You either face it and conquer it, or you're going to repeat it the rest of your life until you do.

And here's a guy who is,

I mean, remember

three years ago?

That guy's crazy and he's going to be broke.

Really?

The richest man in the world.

Richest man in the world now.

Oh, he'll never be able to get those rockets off the ground.

He did, and they land themselves.

Isn't that weird?

Listen to what he said yesterday.

He now has five and a half years to get his massive Starship spacecraft off the ground.

It has a 160-foot rocket still at the prototype stage going into its second altitude test soon.

It takes six months to get to Mars.

But Musk says we'll be operating, we'll have that down to as little as a month with flights operating every two years to Mars.

So So they'll be changing people in and out.

Think about that for a second.

Would you do that?

Yes.

A two-year flight for you spend, let's say, a month or two on Mars, check it out.

No, it takes six months to get to the planet.

Oh, six months.

And every two years

they're doing it.

So a six-month flight, spend a couple months there, come back in a six-month flight.

You're doing that?

Let's just say it's safe.

Let's take the safety.

There's actually, I mean, maybe I worded this poorly.

You take six months to get there.

Yeah.

You work there for two years.

You take a flight back.

Two years later, six months.

That's three years of your life.

Okay, let's, that's,

I mean, I'm not working for two years on Mars, but let's just say it's a visit.

Let's say, just take out, take out what you're doing there for a second.

It's a six-month flight to go to Mars.

Are you taking that as a tourist?

Yeah.

I would.

You take a six-month flight, you go out there.

If I could go for two years,

you're back.

Come back, yeah.

Even for two years of work, you'd go out there and do that?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, my gosh, that's too much.

Think of how annoying it would be.

I mean, it's cool for the first week.

Then you've got five months and three weeks of flight before you arrive.

And then the reason two years of desolate nothing.

Think of the amount of time you're like, did I turn the iron off?

I mean, that would be a problem.

And Matt, this would be typical, like, if you didn't download the songs on Spotify.

You'd have to.

And you're trying to stream them.

Don't worry.

I got all my books and everything downloaded.

You get there and it's got the little cloud and the arrow and you're like, oh, crap

like so no netflix didn't approve like the streaming of your show and the download when you're when you're on the flight and they have to like you have to check in with the internet to make sure it's a is a licensed copy and all you need is that he's going to have internet on that thing though he probably should have internet on that he said the first colony now this is where i don't want to go he says the first colony will be a tiny dangerous frontier like environment

Nope.

Well, I mean, that would make sense, though.

They have to build.

Yeah, sure.

Yeah.

I'm not going on that flight.

No.

No, that's a hard no for me.

Nope.

I don't want to even go visit Little House on the Prairie.

Right.

The TV set.

Right.

Let alone actually go do that.

No.

No.

Like what I want, here's what I'm picturing.

Six-month flight to like a four seasons, right?

Where they have all the amenities, great food, all that stuff.

And you got the Mars views, which are nice.

You're there for a few weeks.

Six-month flight back.

You doing that?

Yeah.

I'm not doing that.

That's still that flight's.

That would be too short.

I'd be like, I just got, it feels like we just got here.

You'd have to spend time.

How long do you have to be on Mars to justify two six-month flights?

I think you have to be there for a year.

Yeah.

I think you have to be there for a year.

And it's nice because you get all four seasons every day.

Like every, what is it, 36 hours or 21 hours?

It's very hot during the day and then very cold at night.

So you get summer and winter every day.

I also, by the way, would need the flight to be on like, you know, the Empire ship from the beginning of Star Wars.

Like, it needs to have like a gym, and not that I'm going to use that, but a pool in a

pool court in case I'm going to use it.

I'm not.

No, but in case I think, you know what?

I'm going to work out.

I'm just going to go walk around the machines and think maybe I should get on that one.

How does that one work?

Yeah.

And then leave.

So I do, I'm with you on that one.

It would have to be

to have that.

So listen to what has to be done.

They first have to,

let me see if I have this.

The first people up into space, the first step

for them to get to Mars is they have to send a bunch of people to the moon.

Now listen to this.

You got to make a starship fly to orbit and back repeatedly.

So that's what they're doing now.

They have to start getting that rocket so it could go up and down, up and down into orbit and use it.

He said, you need a fully and rapidly reusable rocket.

It needs to be like aircraft where the cost of flight is really just the fuel.

You can't just be throwing rockets away.

You also need an orbital refueling where you send a ship to orbit and then send another to transfer propellant.

He said you also have to have large fully reusable rocket with orbital refueling and high high-efficiency, low-cost propellant.

Okay, that's not happening.

I mean, we just closed the XL pipeline.

You know what I mean?

So that's going to jack the price of fuel up to go to Mars.

But think of that.

So he's saying that you have to have a rocket that you'll go take off, and then you just orbit as another rocket comes up, puts more fuel into yours.

Then you go to the moon,

then you land there or whatever, and they come up and they give you more fuel, a lot more fuel, so you can go to Mars.

Who's giving you fuel to come back?

I mean, that's the trick.

That's the trick to return flight.

We got to have to use a little more fuel than we thought to get there.

No, no, no.

I say we turn around now.

I feel like Elon, I don't, I don't put it past Elon Musk to book a bunch of people to fly out to Mars and then when they get there, tell them, yeah, by the way, there's no flight back.

Sorry.

I don't put it past Elon Musk.

I think those people, though, if you're in that first, you know,

you're fine with it.

You know, mom, paw kettle kind of thing.

I never planned on coming back anyway.

Yeah, you're probably like, yeah, I'm fine.

Probably fine with dying.

I was hoping we'd die here.

Right.

You know, I don't want to go back.

That's probably the kind of person you have.

They wouldn't mind coming back, but meh.

I assume it'll be all leftists who that will go on these flights because they're the ones that are always saying like, you know, we paved paradise and we put up a parking lot.

And then like, there'll be no parking lots there.

You'll just have paradise.

See how much you like it.

See how awesome it is when all you have is a bunch of restaurants.

We should take a bunch of them and just give them a spacesuit and a little bit of oxygen and say, go play outside.

Yeah, good luck.

And then just close the hatch.

And when they're like, we're out there.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, you want to come into the little paved place where

there's a grocery store?

Yeah.

No, no, just go.

No, stay out there.

I know.

There's no chain stores out there.

There's no urban sprawl for you to worry about.

It is kind of a food desert and a bit of an air desert, but

all right, let me tell you about Relief Factor.

Margaret lives in Pennsylvania.

She was in pretty serious mind for a number of years.

She suffered from pain in her feet that was so bad she could barely walk at all.

A lot of the time she found herself finding ways to avoid walking.

The pain was so bad.

When she heard about Relief Factor, she was skeptical.

She had tried everything and nothing really had worked, but she didn't have anything to lose.

She wanted to walk again, so she gave it a try.

Well, same old story.

After a few weeks of taking Relief Factor, her pain began to go away.

These days, Margaret's walking again, walking like a champ.

She's pain-free thanks to Relief Factor.

Now, Margaret got her life back using Relief Factor.

So could you.

Just give it a try.

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

You'll know within the first three weeks if it's really going to do anything for you.

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

70% of the people who try Relief Factor go on to buy more because it works for them.

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

That's relief factor.com, relieffactor.com, or call 800-500-8384.

800-500-8384, it's relief factor.com.

Holy cow.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

We're just talking about this

stupid controversy over the Nazi-dressed monkey.

I think everyone should just, oh, the Nazi-dressed monkey controversy.

Of course, obviously, I understand.

That is, somebody in this circus dressed a monkey up as a Nazi, and then its trainer came out dressed as a Soviet,

you know, in the Soviet military uniform, and had the Nazi monkey on the leash.

Now,

believe it or not, this is a controversy because people are saying that the

monkey shouldn't have been wearing Nazi.

You're glorifying the Nazis by making him a monkey on a leash held by the...

This is clear.

This is a Russian circus in Russia.

And it's clear.

They lost.

How many people did they lose in the battle with Germany in World War II?

The total in World War II, Russia, Soviet Union at the time, lost 16.8 million.

We lost 600,000.

A lot of those, most of those, were on the Russian front with the Germans.

They lost 16 million people.

15% of the entire population of the country.

That's crazy.

Yeah.

I'll let him dress a monkey up as a Nazi and carry him on a leash.

If you're going to do people who don't like Nazis ranked, number one is probably Jews.

Number two is Russians.

Like the Russians really...

Like, we have a lot of problems in this world, but Russians not being anti-Nazi enough is not one of them.

That's not an issue.

That is somebody looking for a problem.

Yes.

You know, they're online.

I mean, what are you looking for?

Monkey Nazi wear?

What do you know?

The Russians are not too pro-Nazi.

They might act like Nazis a lot, but they do not like the actual Nazis.

They had a little bit of a kerfuffle back in the day.

You may remember.

16, I don't know, million lost their lives in that little skirmish.

By the way, not the highest percentage of a population lost in the war.

The U.S.,

so

16.8 million in Russia, which was about 15% of their population.

Ukraine lost about 17%.

Poland, about 18%,

and Belarus, over 25% of their population.

If I knew where Belarus was, I would.

Who lost the most?

People, number of people, Russia, China, 20 million during the conflict.

China.

They were

a lot of people, man.

They just have a lot of people.

They were fighting the Japanese.

That was not a a brutal island.

They were big.

I mean, they have, you know, you would just think there was that was brutal, though.

You've talked about that before.

I mean, it was.

Oh, the Japanese were.

People made the Germans look like rookies.

Rightfully so.

Obviously, people focus on the Holocaust and for that, for that brutality and what the Nazis did, but the Chinese-Japanese thing was really ugly, too.

That was really bad.

No, the Japanese are, I mean, we don't, we never studied, you never heard about the Japanese in World War II, but they were brutal and vicious.

I mean, they make, really,

they make mangela and the experiments they did like, you know, like you're taking your kids to the pediatrician.

Just bad, monstrous stuff, monstrous stuff on both sides.

I mean, Germany and Japan.

This is the Glenn Beck program.
