Everybody Relax! $600 Stimulus Checks are Coming and Everything Will Be Fixed | 12/22/20

Trip Planner by Expedia.

You were made to outdo your holiday,

your hammocking,

and your pooling.

We were made to help organize the competition.

Expedia, made to travel.

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

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Sorry, Politicos.

I hate to break it to you elected people and fellow confused folks like me.

No, we're not in this together.

And hey, whatever happened to the flu?

We'll answer a few of those questions next.

It is the Glenn Beck program.

This is the Glen Beck program.

Hey, it is the Glen Beck program.

Jeff Katz, happy to be sitting in for Glenn this morning.

I am ordinarily

in central Virginia on the air.

And of course, today I'm just so happy to be sitting in for Glenn and chatting with folks all over the country.

I asked

what exactly happened to the flu.

Do you remember the flu used to be all the rage?

I mean, seriously, the flu was the thing that was going to get us all.

Not Ebola, not the bird flu, just the regular flu every single year.

You get the flu, he gets the flu, she gets the flu.

And if you're not on guard, forget about it.

This is why everybody's got to get get a flu shot and then maybe you should get another flu shot and try the other flu shot and

the flu has gone missing it is mia at the moment because everybody is focused on the chinese coronavirus the wuhan coronavirus the novel coronavirus or covid 19.

look i try and cover each and every one of those names why because each of the names has been used each of the names seems to be legitimate and that way everybody is offended equally but the flu

used to be the thing and it would lead newscasts and every single article that appeared in print would then have the little sidebar article that said oh you gotta get the flu shot And then every year there'd be a new variation of the flu shot because there was a new variation of the flu.

And the flu shots each year were just, I don't want to say they were cobbled together because that's insulting, but essentially, well, sorry, they were cobbled together.

You'd have a bunch of these immunologists sitting around going, hey,

Joe, where are you going for lunch today?

Blah, blah, blah.

Okay.

Didn't they have the flu once?

Yeah.

All right, let's put that in the batch.

It just seems to me that there's sort of a scattershot approach.

Now.

Behind the scenes, obviously, you've got really brilliant medical people going, no, here's why we picked this one.

Here's why we picked that one.

But each year we get the flu shot.

And each year people get the flu.

And this year, no coverage of the flu.

So I reached out.

I know one or two people,

right?

One or two people who have got a medical background.

And I said, Listen, Doc, how come I'm not hearing about the flu?

And one doctor in particular said, Look, Jeff, here's what's going on with the CDC.

Here's what's going on with the flu.

They're counting the flu in with

other

ailments.

So now they've got something called PIC,

PIC, pneumonia, influenza, COVID.

So unless you want to go in and break it all up, you get the one number, apparently.

Now, I know what you're thinking.

Jeff, I cannot possibly, under any circumstances, confuse the flu with something more serious.

And the reality is, yeah, you can.

Yeah, you can.

See, because for years I thought I had had the flu.

And I tell people, they go, hey, Jeff, how are you?

I got the flu.

I totally got the flu.

Well, how do you know you have the flu?

Well, because I don't feel well and it's wintertime and that's what you do.

You get the flu.

Well, you could be a cold.

No, it can't be a cold.

I know it's the flu.

And then, you know what happened?

I actually got the flu.

Now, if you've never had the real flu,

let me explain this to you.

Because I got up one morning and I didn't feel well.

And I said to my wife, all right, I'm going to work.

So I go to work and I don't feel well.

Yeah, not end of the world, not I'm going to jump off this building because it's just too bad.

I just didn't feel well.

Not 100%.

Well, I'm sitting at my desk and I'm doing what I'm supposed to do and then it's time for

my show.

And I walk up these steps.

And I got to tell you, as I'm walking up the steps, I'm thinking, I don't know when it happened.

But these steps have gotten longer.

They're higher.

They're more steps.

I swear they're more steps.

And with each step, I get a little more tired and I'm not feeling quite as well as I was at the beginning of the steps and then I make it to the end of the steps.

And I think, well, all right.

And I walk into our broadcast studio and I sit down and I start talking and I talk and I talk and I talk, yada, yada, yada, bad, bad, bad.

And then during the news breaks and during the commercial breaks, I start putting my head down on the table.

And my boss came in.

He says, hey, are you okay?

oh yeah i just don't feel well and he's looking at me and i thought man i must look really bad he says you just are why don't you go home really

yeah no i'm okay no no no no no no no you you don't look well

okay and then i'm thinking i'm gonna walk down those steps again this is not good but i walk down the steps and i drive home and as i'm driving home i'm thinking to myself man i i don't feel well right?

I keep coming back to that.

I don't feel well,

but it's not end-of-the-world sick.

I'm sure of it.

So,

I get home, and I say to my wife, I don't feel well.

Well, why are you home so early?

Because I don't feel well, and my boss said you look unwell.

Oh, okay, so what are you going to do?

I'm going to bed.

Now, it was probably five o'clock in the afternoon.

I trudge up the steps, and again, I'm thinking to myself, God damn it,

who replaced the steps in the house?

I get into bed.

It's probably 5.15 in the afternoon.

I proceed to sleep until the next morning.

Now, apparently, at some point,

during my slumber, the bride came up to check on me.

Or at least that's what she claims.

Now, I'm not entirely sure.

because I'm thinking she could also have been checking the insurance policies, right?

Looking at it going, well, at least, you know, he's in his sleep.

How bad could it be?

And then, around seven, eight o'clock the next morning, and I've been asleep the whole time, I gotta go to the bathroom.

And I get up and I start walking to the bathroom.

And I'm thinking, man, who designed this house?

I cannot believe that the bathroom is like a mile away from the bedroom.

Must have been some sort of marathon runner.

And then I realize, you know, I don't think I'm really well.

And I go to the doctor and sure enough I've got the flu the official flu influenza that's the real deal I get whatever the treatment is boom I'm back to the real world now why do I mention this because all of a sudden now

People are not getting the flu.

And the explanation I read yesterday was people are not getting the flu because so many people are wearing masks and staying six feet apart, which is apparently the same reason as the flu numbers plummet

that the COVID numbers are increasing because people are not wearing enough masks and they're not staying six feet apart.

Can we have both of those only

in the world

of a politician, only in the world of someone who builds their life telling you and telling me how much smarter they are, how much better they are.

And that's what I mean when I say we're not in this together.

We're not even close to being in this together.

We have 19

million Americans who are out of work.

Let that sink in for a second.

19, almost 20 million out of work.

They're not out of work because they want to be.

Well, that's not true.

A couple of them are out of work because they want to be because they just found out they get a $300 a week bonus for being out of work, which makes no sense.

If you're in the dreaded private sector, if you're actually working for a living, you know what happens?

If you do really well, if you help the company advance, you may get a bonus.

But in the crazy world of the 5,600 page aid bill, this coronavirus incentive bill that just passed, 5,600 pages, nobody had a chance to read this thing.

Talk about cobbled together, but everybody voted for it.

You know why?

Because you and I apparently are going to get $600.

You want to cost that out over the 10 months that we've been locked up in our homes?

What is it?

Is it a penny an hour?

$600 is not worth it.

20 million Americans out of work is not worth it.

You are following these rules.

I'm following these rules.

But those people who are imposing the rules,

the people who are telling us, hey,

stay in your house.

Hey, don't go out after midnight.

Hey, this is the smartest virus of all time.

Unlike the flu that doesn't know what time of day it is, the coronavirus apparently can figure out if you're being naughty or nice.

It can figure out if you're out at a restaurant at 10 minutes past 10 or you've had an alcoholic beverage closer to midnight.

And those folks imposing these rules are not in it with with us.

The state of California essentially has ceased to exist.

Governor of California is out televanting.

Hey, listen, I got a big party I'm going to.

The mayor of San Jose out socializing.

New York?

Well, Andrew Cuomo.

Who, by the way, I think is fighting with his brother Chris as to really who is the Fredo brother?

Because they each seem to be trying to out-Fredo the other.

No, no, seriously.

I'm dumber than you are.

No, I don't think so.

Stupid is as, oh my God.

Everything is locked down.

But he's making plans now.

He wants to go to the Buffalo Bills playoff game.

And he has the audacity, as he tells working people in New York, your jobs are not essential.

Your livelihood is not essential.

But he has plans.

to go to the first playoff game for the Buffalo Bills in an awfully long time.

And it's going to be described, we're told, as essential travel.

You get what I'm saying now when I say we're really not in this together.

888727 Beck.

888727 Beck.

I remind you all sorts of amazing material, great information for you every single solitary day when you check out Glennbeck.com, when you check out theblaze.com.

Oh, by the way, how insulted are you to learn that you're not essential?

That the fact that your kids want to eat every single day doesn't make you essential.

The fact that you're trying to pay your mortgage doesn't make you essential.

But some pinhead politician somewhere who wants to go for some sort of a wine reception, like the governor of Rhode Island,

They're essential.

It's appalling.

Remember, you can always shoot me an email as well, jeff at thejeffcatshow.com.

Jeff at thejeffcatshow.com.

If it's easier, you go to my website, thejeffcatshow.com, and there's a contact page there.

It is Jeff Katz, and I am in for Glenn.

It is the Glenn Beck program.

Jeff Katz in today for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

As we talk about who is and is not essential, but more importantly, trying to shed some light on the fact that you and I are not in this together.

Well, maybe you and I are in this together, but the folks who are telling us to stay home, the folks who have preached to us

that we're all in this together, they've made sure, quite frankly, that they are not in this at all.

Not even close to it.

888-727-BEC, 888-727-BEC.

By the way, Joe Biden got the coronavirus coronavirus vaccine yesterday.

We'll play a little snippet of it in a couple of moments.

But you will be, well, you'll be,

I don't want to say you'll be amazed because frankly, Joe Biden's comments, I don't think, amaze anyone anymore, except for Joe Biden.

He is always surprised at what he said because he didn't even realize he said it because he's thinking, well, wait a minute.

Isn't it Matlock time?

I'm telling you, I got it.

Matlock, there's got to be an epoch.

What about that lady?

I love her.

She solves all all those crimes up in Maine, right?

It's

Agatha Christie.

And then he's back to sleep.

Sal is in New Jersey.

Hey, Sal, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Hi, it's a pleasure to be here.

Thank you.

I'm always amazed when I hear somebody agreeing with me.

And

the problem with the politicians is everything they come up with never applies to them.

So, of course, it's always half-assed.

In New Jersey, the thing I wanted to talk about, we all had to vote on paper.

And the only way you didn't have to vote on paper, you could vote electronically, was if you had some sort of disability.

But there was never a list of what those disabilities were.

And am I stupid?

Or isn't it more difficult

to vote electronically than

a piece of paper?

But Sal, there's your disability.

Right?

You are you're allergic.

You're allergic to paper.

Is Phil Murphy your goofball governor going to come to your house and go, all right, Sal, prove it to me.

Here's a piece of paper.

I want to see you go out.

But

you had to show proof of your disability.

Sal, I appreciate the call.

Let me tell you, when you got a guy, remember, because that guy did it too, right?

That Phil Murphy guy was out having dinner somewhere.

You can't leave your house.

In fact, you can't even look out the window because you might see something like what?

Governor Phil Murphy having dinner when he's not supposed to be.

Yeah, that's right.

You're not supposed to see it.

Martin, Virginia.

Martin, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Hey, how are you doing, Glenn?

Glad to see you're on, or actually, Jeff, glad to see you're on the Glenn Beck show.

Happy New Year to you.

Happy Christmas.

Hey, I want to just make a quick point on the $600

that they just pass for every American.

I'm in a field where I've really made,

I probably doubled my income from last year.

Wow.

Yeah, I'm in mortgage banking.

Oh,

my wife is in

an industry where it's just getting hammered.

And without me, I mean, I don't even know how they would be surviving right now.

I'm just pouring money, you know, helping out.

Yep.

But $600 is like a slap in the face.

I can't even go over the politicians where they think they're actually really doing something great.

Well,

Martin, let me ask you a question.

Martin, Martin, doesn't that say something about us that the politicians have figured out so many of us are so damn stupid that they're going, yeah, 600 bucks, and these idiots are going to be exciting?

Because there are people who are excited about it.

Better idea, stop taking my money in the first place.

Leave it in my paycheck or leave it in my business.

Let me spend it.

You know, they take it out of our left pocket.

They put part of it in our right pocket.

I go, there you go.

Merry Christmas.

Richmond.

So, yeah, they're really digging deep into our pockets here.

It's ridiculous.

Everything from your utility bills or, you know,

how many service fees on it.

I have friends that live in other counties that live in houses that are three times the size of mine, and their utility bills are half of mine.

You know, just on and on and on.

It's ridiculous.

It is ridiculous.

Martin, I appreciate the call to the Glenn Beck program.

It gets crazier all the time.

$600.

Oh, no, wait, Mitch, Jeff.

You got to put that in with the $1,200 they gave us before.

All right, so it's $100.

Carry the one.

I went to public school.

All right.

So you got what?

$1,800?

All right.

So you got $1,800.

$1,800.

You haven't been able to live your life for 10 months.

That's $180 a month.

Hold on, I got to carry the one, $180 a month.

What is that?

Like,

$45 a week?

You do realize that you could sneeze and probably make $45 a week.

$45 a week is not big money.

I don't know if we figured that out yet.

Oh, here's another thing.

It just occurred to me.

You know, the folks who are making their rules, like, all these people working for the governor, whatever governor you've got, I don't care, the governor of any state.

You know, they haven't missed any paychecks.

Oh, they're on blue ribbon panels and blue ribbon commissions and they're eating blue ribbon dinners, but they haven't missed a single solitary paycheck.

At the same time, they're telling you, if you go in and you try and operate your business, we're going to arrest you because you are not essential.

Wow, it does get crazier and crazier.

Now, I mentioned to you that Joe Biden took the vaccine.

We'll listen and talk about it in just a moment.

It is Jeff Katz in for Glenn.

It is the Glenn Beck program.

It is the Glenn Beck program.

Jeff Katz sitting in for Glenn.

Happy to be here.

But where else are we going to be, right?

You're not allowed out.

I'm not allowed out.

Although I did go out yesterday, had some errands to run.

And I ran them.

I ran the errands.

And, you know, masked up and gloved up and wearing my hazmat suit, which is so fashionable this time of year.

No, seriously, if you get the red and green hazmat suit, people start confusing you for Santa, which is really neat.

it is really really

neat

I take a look at what we're doing here in Virginia our

well my gyno and I know what Jeff your gyno yeah gyno governor in name only my gyno record Ralph Northam just announced the other day everybody needs to be in their homes between midnight and 5 a.m.

And somebody, one of the press corps, actually said, well, excuse me, your governorship.

Why?

And the governor's response was, well, my grandmother told me that nothing good happens between, or it happens after midnight.

Oh,

okay.

Well, sure.

I mean, I'm game.

Let's go along with that.

Why not?

As the same governor said, oh, the baby was born alive.

Not to worry.

He'll fit in the trash can.

It's okay.

I mean, he's a terrible person, but

I'm looking at what we're allowed to do.

We're not allowed to do.

We're not allowed to do anything.

Oh, except maybe go out to get this coronavirus vaccine, right?

And now they're talking about you need to have some sort of proof.

Like, what was it?

Ticketmaster said, We're going to start doing concerts again sometime, maybe next year, the year after, or you know, when your baby is 18 years old and able to go to a concert, whatever it is, you're going to have to show proof that you've had the coronavirus.

Now, how are you going to do that?

You get a hat, you get a t-shirt.

Somebody else said, Oh, you get a barcode.

Really?

Yeah, you know, like a barcode tattoo.

Seriously?

Have you read anything at any point in your life?

Oh, is that not a good idea?

It's not a good idea.

So, Joe Biden did get the coronavirus vaccine yesterday, and he had such

a powerful statement afterwards.

Let's take a listen to what he had to say.

Administration deserves some credit getting this off the ground with Operation Warp Speed.

I'm sorry, what?

Can I hear that one more time?

The administration deserves some credit, getting this off the ground of Operation Warp Speed.

Look, dude, I don't know how to break it to you.

It wasn't just the administration.

It was President Donald John Trump who said, we're going to move this down the line as fast as possible so long that it's safe.

It was President Trump, you pretender you.

President Trump who got this thing moving.

And you and everybody on your side of the aisle.

And by that, of course, I mean not just the Democrat Party hacktivists, but, you know, the Democrat Party hacktivists who have been deployed to newsrooms.

Every one of you said, well, you can't get a vaccine that fast.

It's going to be five years.

We're all going to be dead.

And the last person around will get it.

And yet President Trump did it, and you can't even say his name.

Isn't that funny?

Because for Biden and his crowd, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump is the excuse and the reason for everything bad that's ever happened.

But President Trump gets this Operation Warp Speed together.

President Trump gets this vaccine, not with just one company, but with multiple companies out there before the end of the year.

And he won't even say...

the president's name.

Doesn't that tell you everything you really need to know?

888-727-BEC, 888-727-BEC.

Hit me up.

You can send me an email.

Easiest way to do it is go to the website, thejeffcatshow.com, thejeffcatshow.com, and click on the little contact link there.

And by the way, while you're on the web, can I give you two websites that I swear to you have got to be mandatory reading for you each and every day, Glennbeck.com, theblaze.com.

Barry is in South Carolina.

Hey, Barry, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Hey, hey, John, thanks for having me on.

I just wanted to talk about this, about stimulus.

I mean, $600 per person, my wife is obviously jumping up and down for George.

She's like, Joyce, you know, we've got five kids and she's stuck at home because they all have to do online schooling.

I'm like, you know, you realize that that's really only a month's worth of income for us because that's not going to be enough.

My kids are home.

They're burning up the electric.

They're burning up the water, the heat.

The food is, you know, obviously getting more.

And I just think it's funny that they feel that the American working person is going to be happy with that.

I I mean, I know a lot of them are like, yay,

it's gone.

I mean, my taxes alone are just off my paycheck to work as much as I have to do is like $400

in state and a $600 in federal.

I mean, there it goes.

That's where the money's coming from.

I mean, I just think it's ridiculous.

They think that's enough.

Barry, you just raised the point that's the most important one.

It's your money to begin with.

It's our money.

God, they took it in the first place.

Give us that $10,000.

$10,000.

Here's some for you.

Oh, not to the people.

No,

we got ice cream to buy

for Nancy.

And, you know, Mitch McConnell is.

Is he still looking for that spine?

Yeah, no, have him check eBay or Amazon.

There's got to be a spine there that he could buy or bid on.

How much do we have left?

$607.22.

All right, keep the $7.22

for our handling fee and then send somebody the $600.

Jay in Ohio.

Hey, Jay, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Hey, Jeff.

I think you're doing a terrific job.

Merry Christmas.

Thank you, sir.

So, absolutely.

So, my wife and children believe my job is essential.

It is essential.

And I know that's going to come as a shock to anybody who is in government who hasn't missed a single paycheck, a single

health insurance,

no, they're fine.

You cut them off back in spring to say, okay, we're putting a freeze and not a payback in the future, but a freeze on all government pay 10 months ago.

This is over in 30 days.

30 days, it's over.

And I've got to tell you, we're getting pretty fed up with this, and I'm in Ohio and theoretically a Republican state.

I don't believe that for one second.

I don't believe that for a second.

Well,

you know, Jay, I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but you guys in Ohio gave the rest of us this John Kasich character, and we're trying to figure out if we can send him back and get our cleaning deposit returned.

Well, good luck with that.

Yeah.

Jay, I appreciate the call to the Glenn Beck program.

Yeah, there are a lot of these guys out there.

And you know what's funny to me?

We have so many of the party folks.

Look, I happen to be a Republican, but I'm taking a look and I'm thinking, no, no, no, no.

It's not a two-party system.

It really isn't.

It's your party and my party, and then it's their party up in D.C.

And you know, their party involves wine and cheese and paying the bills with the money that you and I sent.

They are the swamp.

Look, Mitch McConnell, right, from Kentucky just came out and said, I don't want any of the senators challenging these electoral college votes, right?

There's that Congressman Mole Brooks out of Alabama and said, we got to challenge this.

And all I need is one senator to challenge it.

McConnell's already said, no, no, no,

no.

I've already welcomed Joe Biden as the president-elect.

You know why?

Because Mitch and Joe hung out for a half a century.

Because they are buddies.

And you can have whatever letter you want after your name.

But Trump came in there and was without question,

without question,

a disruptor.

And they don't like that.

Larry's in North Carolina.

Hey, Larry, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Hey, Jeff.

Merry Christmas.

How are you doing?

I'm doing fine.

Thank you, sir.

We need to do with this extra intelligent virus that's going around is like what our parents used to tell us when we were children.

Be in the house when the lights come home.

Come on.

Don't be outside.

As soon as the lights come on outside, be in the house.

Yep.

And I'm in the great state of super duper Cooper.

I'm about to.

Well, I don't have to say anymore.

No.

You don't.

And everybody, by the way, in North Carolina who beat up on that poor Pat McCrory, he's not conservative enough.

Now you got what?

Like,

I don't know that he's a social.

Well, maybe he is.

Ken is down in Florida.

Hey, Ken, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Thanks, Jeff.

How are you doing?

Fine, thank you, sir.

We need to call out Mr.

Yang on his being basically a Nazi.

My family escaped Germany when my dad was three years old to get away from, you know, from being tattooed.

That's right.

And that's basically what he's doing.

And I don't understand why we're not calling him out on it.

You know, Ken, it's a great question.

It's a great question.

I, too, lost family during the Holocaust, during the Shoah, right?

And every one of them had a government official at some point say, give me your arm.

We're tattooing a number on you.

I lived next to Mr.

and Mrs.

Barg when I grew up in Oxford Circle, section of Philadelphia.

And both Mr.

and Mrs.

Barg had numbers on their arms.

And as a little kid, I had no idea what that meant.

But I would see Mr.

and Mrs.

Barg outside.

And again, I think I mentioned it yesterday, we grew up in these, I grew up in a row house, you know, 50 houses on each side of the street and windows just front and back.

Anyway, so I would see Mr.

and Mrs.

Barg and talk to them and I'd see these numbers.

And I remember asking him, because I was a kid, hey.

What's the number on your arm?

What's that?

And Mr.

Barg said to me, oh, well, we don't have very good memories.

So we tattooed our phone number on our arm.

Now, that made perfect sense to me when I was like 10.

I didn't investigate any closer.

I guess if I had, I would have seen that Mr.

Barg's number was different than Mrs.

Barg's number.

And I would have noticed that it wasn't actually the

same number of digits as you would have with a phone number, but I accepted that.

So now you've got Andrew Yang out there saying, hey, everybody has to have a barcode of some sort attached to them to show that they got the coronavirus vaccine.

Boy, that scares the living tar out of me.

Oh, one other question.

Do all of those barcodes, Mr.

Yang, start with the number 666?

Just asking for, you know, a few friends.

Jeff Katz sitting in today for Glenn.

It is the Glenn Beck program.

It's Glenn Beck program.

Jeff Katz sitting in for Glenn.

So happy to have this opportunity from News Radio, WRVA, and beautiful Richmond, Virginia.

Well, it used to be beautiful.

A lot of remodeling that happened during the summer, and a lot of it involved spray paint and obscenities, sledgehammers.

I would have gone in a different direction, but you know, I'm not a professional in that regard.

Number of folks reaching out saying, hey, Jeff, what about social media?

Where are you?

I'm on Parlor, Jeff Cat show on Parlor.

I'm still on Twitter, but I swear every single day I say to myself, Jeff, this is the day you got to quit Twitter.

This is the day.

Because what happened?

I had, I don't know, 25,000 people as followers, which I thought was pretty cool.

You know, send out some little stuff here and there.

And then all of a sudden, one morning I wake up and I have, I don't know, seven.

And then it goes back to 22.

And it's bouncing all around.

And I'm like, what the heck is going on?

Then I start getting these emails from people saying, hey, Jeff, why did you ditch me on Twitter?

And I said, I didn't ditch anybody.

Frankly, I don't even know how to ditch ditch anybody.

And that was when Twitter started with their great conservative purge.

You know, they'd take followers away.

So I haven't done nearly as much.

But every once in a while, I like to encourage people to follow me on Twitter, Jeff Cat Show, on Twitter, just to annoy the people on Twitter, just to give them something else to do.

Oh my God, cats.

So, you know, go ahead.

Jeff Cat Show.

It's the same thing on both Twitter and Parlor.

Where are you going to be for Christmas?

You're going going to be locked in your house, right?

You're not allowed to do anything or see anybody or think about anything.

You're not even allowed to think about things,

right?

Because if you're on Facebook and you post something you're thinking about, all of a sudden some great unknown fact-checker comes along and says, oh, this is wrong.

It's like, yeah, but that's my thought.

No, it's wrong.

Not allowed to think it.

Don't think that.

Don't you dare think that.

We got a new way of conducting ourselves here.

Joshua is in Iowa.

Hey, Joshua, welcome to the Glen Beck program.

Hi, good morning, sir.

Hi.

I heard you were talking earlier about the $600 coming in and everything for people.

I was starting thinking about what about the Social Security tax deferral program that ends at the end of the year.

Some of us, like the federal government employees, and I'm also a reservist, we were forced.

We didn't get to opt out of it.

So now you're looking at a 6 to 6.2 normal deduction.

That's normal coming out, but now they're going to have you repay that over the next four months.

So it's going to hit hit pretty hard right at the beginning of the year.

Wait a minute.

Wait, whoa, whoa, what?

Everybody has to repay that?

Federal employees, and that includes your military employees as well.

That were, we were required to take that.

So, yeah, I mean, since it started in September, you know,

a little extra cushion we got, but we knew that we were going to have to pay that back.

That is outrageous, Joshua.

I appreciate the call.

I didn't even know that.

Federal employees, members of the military, reservists are going to have to repay?

Oh, that's outrageous.

Hey, let me grab Bill who is in Georgia

when we have the opportunity to talk about Christmas songs.

Hey, Bill.

Don't worry, Jeff.

I'm fine, thank you.

20 seconds.

All right.

You just talked about, you know, Jews and being wished.

Merry Christmas.

It'd be interesting to know as a little bit of trivia.

The top, seven of the top 10 songs ever written about Christmas, including White Christmas, the number one seller, were written by Jews.

Of course, which is exactly why we don't have any decent Hanukkah songs.

Thank you, Adam Sandler.

Jeff Katz in for Glenn, the Glenn Beck program.

It is the Glenn Beck program.

Jeff Katz, happy, thrilled to be sitting in for Glenn this morning.

You know, every once in a while when you do this sort of a show, you have the opportunity to

tell a story, to tell a story that's really worth telling.

And a couple of years ago,

I got this book in the mail.

And it was written by, and I don't say this as an insult, it was written by a kid, this high school student said, hey, Jeff, You know, I listen to your show every day, and I've heard you talk about your daughter, Julia, and her disabilities.

Well, my sister Emily has got some special challenges, and I thought you'd get a kick out of this book.

And hang on a second, it wasn't just I want you to read the book, and

I think you should have me on your show to talk about it.

I thought,

and he was right.

Well, I'm happy that P.J.

Morrissey is joining us.

Peach, thanks so much for being here.

Thank you for having me, Jeff.

Oh, it is absolutely my pleasure.

So I want you to share with everybody what you shared with me now, what is it, a couple of years ago, and this amazing adventure that the Morrissey family, which is a beautiful family, has had with you and with Emily.

Of course.

So I have a sister, Emily.

She was born 22 years ago.

And as a result of oxygen deprivation at birth, she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy.

And, you know, she's had many challenges that have come with it.

CP affects everyone differently who has it.

But for Emily, it's mostly global delays.

And in particular, it's her gross and fine motor skills, cognitive skills, and speech.

And, you know, despite her many challenges that you know, me and you wouldn't necessarily face on a day-to-day basis, like getting dressed or making breakfast or tying our shoes or anything like that.

Emily is more fortunate than all of us because she has a way of looking at things that not everyone else has.

You know, she's able to see the good in people and not judge them before even getting to know them.

And

because of that, her smile is absolutely infectious because it's genuine and she's reflecting back at the person that she's smiling at and all the good things that she sees in that person.

A little more of a backstory.

Growing up with a sibling with special needs, my mom just told me this story.

I didn't remember, but I was three years old and we had just moved to New Jersey.

And I got mad at my mom because

we were, me and Emily, were going down into the basement to play for hours like we used to.

And I said to her, Why do I have to go down the stairs by myself?

Why does Emily always have help and I don't?

Why does she have so much attention?

You know, I didn't realize

that Emily was different and in a good way.

And,

you know, I didn't understand why she couldn't play with me and my friends.

And my peers at school would talk about doing things with their siblings.

And I would just be so shocked because I didn't have similar experiences as they did.

You know, we...

We weren't able to play outside together with my friends, even though I begged my mom multiple times.

And, you know, I didn't really

realize

this difference until, I'd say,

middle school.

And,

you know, I started to realize that she was different, but not in a bad way.

She wasn't just an attention hog.

And she began to become a guiding light and my inspiration.

You know, she's someone that has taught me more.

about what's important in life than anyone else has.

And with that, she's opened so many doors for me.

You know, like you said, I wrote and published two books that are available on Amazon called Different and Changed about my journey and experience of growing up with a sibling with special needs.

And you know, the reality of that situation, of having a family member that has a disability, is making sure that they have everything that they need, such as

things in school like an aid or

you know, just something to give her a purpose.

And

the unfortunate reality is that as much as 80% of adults with disabilities are not active in the workforce.

And, you know, when school ends, you end up with this conundrum with what's next.

It's scary.

You know, there's many years where

you don't know what's going to happen next.

And even though that they try to work it out while

they're in school, a lot of the times it doesn't work out.

Like for Emily, for example, you know, they were placing her in a few places and she wasn't loving it

so because of this my family and I came up with a business idea that would harness her skill level and one of her passions and ever since Emily was a little girl and started PT and OT they had her stringing beads onto pipe cleaners and strings in order to sharpen her fine motor skills and you know this was very difficult for her at the time she had to put a lot of concentration into it a lot of the times it could be frustrating

and now she's done it ever since then.

And,

you know, a couple years ago, she started making these bracelets with pony beads on elastic string for our family and friends, you know, that were school-themed or seasonal-themed.

And

she just loved seeing how happy it made them.

And it

seeing those smiles on other people,

on other people's faces really, you know, gave her that purpose and confidence and that's how Emily's bracelets was born.

Emily'sbracelets.com is her website where she makes and designs so many different bracelets, even custom bracelets, many that support first responders,

other charities, things like that.

And, you know, when it started and it took off, it really did give her that purpose that I was talking about.

She used to be painfully shy to the extent where she was diagnosed with selective mutism.

Getting her to talk to anyone outside of our family was extremely difficult.

And shortly after we launched the business, her teachers, her therapists, they noticed a much larger sense of confidence in her.

She started standing up straighter.

She started talking to people without having to be prompted.

And now, you know, she's like a local celebrity here in Virginia.

She'll go out and

she will just start a business or start a conversation with anybody she sees.

You know, oh, I have this website, Emily's Bracelets.

My brother built it for me, and you should go check it out.

And we're like, oh, who is she talking to?

Let me jump in for a second, PJ, because

Emily Morrissey is a rock star here in Central Virginia.

This past year, her online business, EmiliesBracelets.com, was voted by people throughout Central Virginia as the best local online store.

And I happen to be, as you know, a very loyal patron.

I'm looking at my wrist right now.

I have on there my thin blue line bracelet that I wear every single day to support

those who are still out there doing the job as police officers.

I've got the Julia Katz bracelet, which Emily designed for my lovely little girl.

And portion of those proceeds go to help the friendship circle.

I've got my Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer bracelet.

I've got my Santa bracelet.

I've got my Grinch bracelet.

I've got my Hanukkah bracelet.

And now I'm pretty much up to my elbow at this point, but I know I need more.

And I got to tell you something.

And I want to remind everybody, not only is Emily Morrissey a real rock star here in Central Virginia, and I just wanted the entire country to hear this story.

But PJ,

what you've done, what you've been able to do do with Emily is also something that just warms the hearts of everyone I've shared the story with.

You know, a freshman now at the College of William and Mary, devoted to service as an EMT,

but always being there to really stand up and say, hey, my sister Emily might be different, but God, she is a beautiful young lady, and you ought to check out what she does.

I mean, I love all of this.

Absolutely.

I mean, like I said, she's my guiding light.

She's my inspiration.

You know, when times are tough,

it's easy to think of her and all of her challenges and think, you know, if she can overcome that with little frustration, then I can do anything.

And, you know, this has been one of our most successful years.

Many thanks to you.

Like you said, we were voted the best local online store in Richmond.

And she's done TV interviews.

She's been on your radio show.

And she did did an interview for Forbes magazine.

We've sold over 9,000 bracelets and smiles, and we've raised over $3,500 primary for the Special Olympics, while also at the same time donating money to the Friendship Circle, like you said, and then also the Metro Richmond Police Emerald Society line of duty death fund.

So it's been very successful, and

It's great to have it on a national stage now, like you said.

We love seeing orders coming in from all over the country it's one of our favorite things to do like oh here comes an order from California or Kansas or wherever you know

and Emily loves it too I mean

like I mentioned earlier it was very hard for her to string beads and now she can sit on the couch and watch her favorite Peppa Pig show and just

beat away without even thinking about it, without even having to look at the string most of the time.

So

it's something that really makes her happy, something that has given her a purpose in life that, you know, you hope that everybody can have because it's so amazing to see that sense of independence and passion in her that we were afraid for so long would go

unseen or unheard of

just because of the way society is.

Yeah.

PJ,

I want to thank you for being here, and I want to give you the opportunity one more time.

Tell everybody

the website they should visit

it is emily's bracelets.com all one word you can see our classic collection casual collection we have a first responder collection and much more up on the website you can also find us on Facebook Emily's bracelets Instagram and Twitter at Emily's Bracelets I love it PJ thank you so much for being here that is PJ Morrissey and this time of the year especially We're all thinking about

good stuff, or at least we're trying to, even as Christmas is taken away in many ways.

I mean, the traveling, the real purpose of the season, obviously, is still there.

Listen, I love what the Morrissey family has done.

And as the father of a special needs kiddo, it just, it inspires me to see what they have accomplished with Emily.

And that's why I've become such a passionate supporter.

And the bracelets are beautiful as well.

So check them out, would you?

Emily'sbracelets.com.

Just a moment, I'm going to ask you if you know the directions to Candy Cane Way.

Oh, it sounds delightful.

Well, what's happening there right now?

Not so much.

It is Jeff Katz Filling in for Glenn.

It is the Glenn Beck program.

It's the Glenn Beck program.

Jeff Katz sitting in for Glenn.

Do you know where Candy Cane Way is?

Do you ever hear of Candy Cane Way?

I've got to be honest with you.

I'd never heard of it.

Now, it sounds delightful, right?

It's obviously a Christmas thing.

God,

I just love that.

Right?

And it sounds to me like some place everybody would want to visit.

Well, it has a website.

I'm going to give you a very quick little rundown, okay?

And this is actually from the Candy Cane Way website.

In December 1984, a wonderful group of neighbors living in west alice wisconsin joined together to collect donations for the mac fund

midwest athletes against childhood cancer inc in honor of a neighbor's child diagnosed with cancer The neighbors worked in concert and decorating their homes, encouraged visitors to make a small donation as they drove through the festively enhanced neighborhood.

All of the money raised went to supporting research, treatment, and the eventual discovery of a cure for childhood cancers and related blood diseases.

Now,

that also makes you feel good, right?

Doesn't that you hear that, and you go, Oh my gosh, there's there's hope for all of us.

Seriously, there's hope for humanity

as you read the story of Candy Cane Way.

But hang on a second.

A couple of days ago,

groups that identify themselves as Black Lives Matter decided that they

would march through Candy Cane Way.

Another group called the People's Revolution marched through the streets.

And remember, these streets are all decorated.

They've got beautiful lights and they've got crushes and they've got Santas and reindeer and candy canes, obviously.

And guess what?

The People's Revolution decided to march through it, chanting Black Lives Matter, no justice, no peace,

and this little diddy, whose lane?

Our lane?

Whose streets?

Our streets.

Now,

I don't understand why you're there.

No, I really don't.

I don't understand why anyone.

protesting anything

goes to some place like Candy Cane Way.

One of the comments said, quote, my significant other lives on Candy Cane Lane and she just texted me.

BLM just crashed Candy Cane Lane.

They were blasting music so loud that it made her windows and walls shake and it scared the blank out of her dogs.

Wow.

Wow.

I watched the videos and you can find them at theblaze.com.

If you go to theblaze.com, you'll see the videos of this nonsense.

You're disrupting a charity event.

The Milwaukee County Crime, Fire, and Police News page on Facebook said of the protest, yes, they came through.

did not obey any traffic rules.

Wow.

You're going to crash a place, just though I'm clear.

You crash the place that's raising money to combat childhood cancer.

You're not the Grinch.

You're lower than the Grinch.

The Grinch looks down on you and goes, dude,

you got to shape up.

How bad could you be?

Ebenezer Scrooge is looking at you and thinking to himself, man,

we got some bad people in the world.

It's insanity.

Why haven't we heard about it anywhere else?

No, I thank Glenn and the staff at the Blaze for getting it to us.

But this gives you an idea.

There's certain pieces of news

just doesn't get out there.

They don't get out there.

Why?

You got to think about the reason behind that.

Now, we'll talk a little bit more than that.

And then a little something that happened overnight.

The United States Capitol decided

we got to remove Robert E.

Lee.

Remember Robert E.

Lee?

Oh, he was all the rage for a while.

Oh, he's a terrible human being.

I know.

Terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible.

We got to tear him down or box him up.

And so up at the U.S.

Capitol, they've done exactly that.

But the truth behind it is a little different.

I'm going to clue you in on some of the truth behind that.

And I want to remind you quickly, folks have asked about social media, absolutely.

Parlor and Twitter, Jeff Cat Show, Facebook, Radio Cats, if you want to touch base, love to have you do that.

And of course, email.

You go to my website, thejeffcatshow.com, and click on that contact form, thejeffcatshow.com.

Think about these things.

We'll examine why.

The story of the invasion of Candy Cane Lane wasn't covered.

It is Jeff Catz.

Thrilled to be be filling in for Glenn.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

It's the Glenn Beck program.

Jeff Katz sitting in for Glenn today.

Protesting Christmas.

Protesting

finding a cure for cancer.

God,

you got to be pretty low down to do that.

And you think about that and you go, well, wait a minute, Jeff,

that's evil, isn't it?

We're told over and over again, I know such thing as evil.

You people

talk about evil, man.

That's just a.

You're nuts.

I'm telling you.

I am telling you, as sure as I am sitting here, there are truly evil people in the world.

You don't want to think about it.

I don't want to think about it, but they are.

And they're out there.

And there's no other explanation.

Let me give you one little snippet here.

I've mentioned to you that

I live and work in central Virginia, right outside of Richmond, Virginia, kind of in between Richmond and Washington, D.C.

And I live in an area, I got to tell you, which is rural, and I'm happy about that.

And it's weird because I'm a city guy, right?

I always tell you that I just assume meat always

is in shrink wrap and styrofoam.

I didn't realize there was something before that.

Then I read about this, well, 14-year-old girl somewhere, was it in Kansas?

She shot a 42-point buck,

biggest on record.

And then I have to revisit how pathetic I was when I went turkey hunting for the first time.

Well, the only time at this point.

Because I just thought turkeys were stupid.

I did.

I mean, I grew up in Philadelphia.

I didn't know from turkeys.

If I went hunting for turkeys, that meant that I was going to Pathmark and looking in the frozen aisle and going, I found one.

Oh,

the great hunt is over.

It's a Thanksgiving miracle.

It's all saved.

I go out to hunt turkeys.

First of all, I'm told it's really early in the morning.

We get up at 3.30 or 4, then we have to sit on the ground.

I'm not exactly an outdoorsy sort of a guy.

I always refer to myself as the great indoorsman.

You get out in the woods and I'm thinking, man, somebody should vacuum this forest every once in a while.

It's dusty.

But you sit there for hours in the mud and it's cold and there's one big tom turkey walking back and forth and you do the calls and you got to be super quiet.

Sat there for hours.

My insight on turkeys has changed.

Not only are they smart, they're nasty because they can look.

They got this great vision.

They go, huh,

chubby guy over there from the city.

Let's show him how smart turkeys are.

But this is where I live.

And I've got people who care about other people.

And somehow, some way, we have a governor in Virginia who doesn't care about people.

He really doesn't.

His contempt for people is ugly in a way that can only be described as evil.

Now we have a little snippet of Ralph Northam, which will define exactly who Wreck-It Ralph is.

Can we hear that?

So in this particular example, if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen.

The infant would be delivered.

The infant would be kept comfortable.

The infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired.

And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.

So I think this was really blown out of proportion.

Blown out of proportion.

Dude, you're talking about killing a baby.

You're talking about delivering the baby.

The infant, right?

You called it the baby.

The infant is delivered.

The infant is, I don't know, put on a shelf.

Where do you put the infant?

Oh, I'm going to keep him comfortable.

Okay.

Well, you wrap him up.

You read them a book.

While you and the mother have this calm conversation about whether you should or should not dispatch the child, right?

That's evil.

That's pure evil.

And that walks amongst us.

Really does.

And I think that helps to explain some of the problems, some of the problems that you and I see today.

888-727-BEC.

888-727-BEC.

You want to shoot me an email?

I'm more than happy to take a look at those.

Really appreciate it as well.

Jeff at the JeffCatshow.com.

Jeff at the JeffCatshow.com.

You take a look at what the government officials, not all of them, and you know, I hate to use the term government like it's some big monolith.

I mean, these are human beings that are involved in this, human beings like Mr.

Northam there, who could easily dispatch a living baby because, yeah,

inconvenience.

What about the hospitalizations?

Wasn't this the other reason?

Remember, we were flattening the curve?

When was it?

10 months ago?

We were going to take two weeks to flatten the curve?

Well, have we done that?

Because I haven't heard any talk about the curve flattening or not flattening or growing out of proportion in a long time.

Mike is in South Dakota.

Hey, Mike, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Well, thank you.

Good morning.

Yeah, it's interesting to see the difference in the governors.

You know, we talked about flattening the curve.

I just wanted you guys to know and the rest of the nation to know.

We've had a...

completely open economy.

We did Thanksgiving here.

We're going to do Christmas here.

We come and go as we please.

There's no masks, mandated mask mandate, but we wear them, you know, when we need to.

Our hospitalizations are down.

They were

580 hospitalized in South Dakota on November 19th.

We're down at 343 right now.

343 today.

You can go on the website and check.

In South Dakota, they list the hospitalized people.

That's almost a 40% reduction in hospitalizations.

That's amazing.

That's amazing.

You know,

have you guys extended an invitation to Gavin Newsom or Governor Cuomo or any of the other folks that have shut down everything everywhere else?

You know,

there's a saying out here, you can't fix stupid.

And, you know,

that's from the fools among us out here.

You know, we're not very educated and all that.

But,

you know,

just to divert just just a second, that candy cane, you know,

story you just did,

you know, the best present we can give our children for the holidays is a free country.

We've got to stand up and fight for it.

We've got to quit just ignoring what they're doing to us and take a stand.

You know, I mean, we're all here.

There's 73 million of us.

That's a lot of people that love America and love their neighbors.

Anyway, I wanted people to know.

That's great.

That's great.

Mike, I appreciate the call.

What an amazing thing.

South Dakota hasn't shut anything down.

South Dakota did Thanksgiving.

They're doing Christmas.

They'll do New Year's.

No mask mandate.

And yet people wear masks.

Why?

Because they're respectful of neighbors.

You know, that's the thing.

Everybody goes, well, if you wear a mask, you can't catch this.

No, it's the other way around.

People are supposed to wear the mask so as not to infect anyone else, so as to provide some degree of comfort for someone else.

Think about that.

Ryan's out in Indiana.

Hey, Ryan, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, how are you doing?

Fine, thank you.

Great.

I guess my biggest thing is I would like to say to the American people of the $345 million that we all approve and we all appreciate what everybody's doing as a bonus is one,

except for the White House.

that isn't doing exactly what they should be doing and they kind of gave everybody their nice little small Christmas gift.

I feel that 600 versus 1200 that we were getting, is this our Christmas gift?

And my question to everything that I can't understand for the White House and not the American people, because it's not really anybody's fault.

But here's my gander.

Yeah.

We've been paying taxes for 500 years,

and we've been taking care of other countries for the last 100 years.

So my question is, one, where'd all the money go?

And two, we can go around and rebuild other countries up with no problems, but yet you can't take care of the American people that are starving here every day.

And we dedicate our lives out here and risk everything that we're risking, but yet they just push it up and just say, well, they'll be just fine for $600.

Well, that's not the point.

The point being is

you haven't paid nobody for a year.

We're not expecting the payment, but at least take care of your people when we're taking care of you.

Yeah.

That's a great point.

Ryan, I I appreciate the call to the Glenn Beck program.

When you take a look down this

laundry list, right, last night was 5,600 pages.

It's some outrageous number

for this

bill.

5,600, 5,500, whatever it was.

It's an outrageous number.

And somebody actually did the math.

All right, the average person can read technical things at the rate of about one page every five minutes.

So nobody read this thing.

Nobody there in DC read the thing.

They turned to their aides and said, okay, what's in it?

Are my favorite projects covered?

Because if my favorite projects are covered, I'm in.

That's what they all do.

Left, right, center, I'm telling you.

Oh, and $600

to the American people.

Why?

Why not?

Why not?

Does that help anybody?

I mean, you think about it.

You've been out of work for 10 months.

You could have done just about anything

and earned $600

in 10 months.

And how much longer do we

sit back?

How much longer do we say, oh yeah,

we're not working.

We're not allowed to celebrate the holidays with our family,

but it'll all be okay.

Will it?

888-727-BEC.

888-727-BEC.

I'm going to tell you a little bit about this removal of the Robert E.

Lee statue.

Oh, and the squad up in D.C.

has decided we've got to release some more prisoners.

Not all the prisoners, just the really fat prisoners.

Hmm.

888-727-BEC, 888-727-BEC.

Remember, you've got to read glennbeck.com, theblaze.com every single day to get filled in on everything you need to know.

And if you want to shoot me an email, I'd love to get those.

It is Jeff Katz.

Jeff Katz sitting in for Glenn today.

The statue of Robert E.

Lee was removed from the United States Capitol last night.

The governor of Virginia, King Ralph, said there's no room to celebrate the bigotry of the Confederacy.

All right.

Now this is the same guy who was asked two years ago and asked essentially every day since then, so were you the one in Blackface or under the Klan Hood?

Robert E.

Lee, you'll remember, was offered the command of the Union Army first.

President Abraham Lincoln offered Robert E.

Lee command of the Union Army.

Robert E.

Lee at the time considered himself to be a citizen, really,

of Virginia.

If you take a look at the writings from that time,

United States of America prior to 1861 was usually used

in a plural way.

It's only after 1865 that it becomes singular.

And Robert E.

Lee, whether you like the fact that he was the commander of the Confederate forces or not, after the war, Robert E.

Lee did everything humanly possible

to bring healing to the divided nation.

Ralph Northam could not carry Robert E.

Lee's hat.

let me get to uh jim who is down in georgia jim welcome to the glenn beck program wow i'm so excited i've been trying to call in a glenn beck since he's been doing shows hey and for

and i'm happy at least i'm on the show to piggyback on uh jeff uh with this um candy cane lane pro uh test on august 25th the burn loot murder crowd as i'll call them you know blm marched through the streets of charlotte chanting blank your Jesus, blank being the sixth let the word starting with the sixth letter of the alphabet.

And if we go back five years ago around Thanksgiving of 2015 in Chicago,

they were stripping Christmas decorations off the city's Christmas tree.

All this is documented, including the video of them chanting again.

the sixth letter of the alphabet, you're Jesus.

You know, so I mean,

I would love love you, Jeff, to Google, everybody listening to include you.

I challenge them.

I challenge them

to

look that up.

And by the way, where I'm calling you from right now, I'm standing in front of a child sacrifice center known as a murder mill abortion clinic in Augusta, Georgia, with some friends.

And we're not yelling at the women.

What we're doing is, and I join them, is that we help them

with an alternative, medical, food, clothing, and adoption, not in hate.

And we do have a limited success here.

We have limited success.

So, and we've had guns pulled on us here, and the sheriff's department don't do anything on us.

Guns flashed at us.

We've received threats, harassment for being on the public right away.

But guess what?

We're continuing.

Just like they can outlaw Christianity in America or Judaism.

And by the way, I'm a Messianic Jew, just to let you know.

Fair enough.

Jim, I appreciate what you're doing, and I appreciate the fact that you're doing it in a positive, friendly sort of a way.

Jeff Katz in today for Glenn.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Program.

So let me see if I've got this right.

Black Americans should get two votes, white Americans one votes.

The swamp buys us off for $600.

And when is an actor not an actor?

That's all next on the Glenn Beck program.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

It is the Glenn Beck program.

Jeff Katz, happy to be sitting in for Glenn, based at News Radio WRVA in central Virginia.

There's some bizarre things.

going on right about now.

Now, we'll talk about the idea that an actor is not really an actor.

That has to do with a television show called The Stand.

It's based on the Stephen King book.

It's on, I think it's CBS Access.

Brian and I watched the first episode, and I thought it was okay.

I don't think it's great, but there are a number of folks who are absolutely outraged because one of the actors on the program is acting.

I'll give you the details in a second, but first I'm taking a look at what happened last night.

Last night, while I was confined to my house, because remember, in the Commonwealth of Virginia,

our

fearful leader,

Wreck-It Ralph, our governor, decreed last, yeah, I guess it was last week.

He decreed.

It's not a law.

I want to be clear on that, you know, because laws have this whole thing.

They go,

remember the after-school specials, you know, how a bill becomes law.

Like, I'm singing that in my head, and then I break into conjunction junction.

But anyway, so you get this bill that goes through the house, and then the senate, then the governor in this case signs it, then it becomes a law.

Oh, that didn't happen

King Ralph simply decreed that no one in Virginia it's a pretty big state by the way it's long

kind of wide got like oh we have 10 million people 9 million people none of us are allowed out of our homes between midnight and five in the morning

And when he was asked about that, because he had, you can't really call it a press conference.

What does the queen do?

Like when the queen opens parliament or, you know, some sort of, some sort of regal official thing, because that's the way this guy operates.

But anyway, so he issues this decree that no one in Virginia will be allowed out of their home between midnight and 5 a.m.

And one of the reporters said, excuse me, your governorship?

Why?

And he said, well,

My grandmother told me nothing good ever happens after midnight.

Well, I'd love to be making that up.

God, if I could make that sort of nonsense up,

sitting in Hollywood writing scripts,

maybe not.

But $600 is what the payoff was out of this big bill.

And I mean massive.

5,600 pages, 5,500 pages?

Who's going to read that?

Nobody's going to read that.

And that's the point, isn't it?

That's the whole point.

Make it really big.

Decorate it like it's a Christmas tree, even as you're telling the American people, no Christmas for you.

You can't see anybody.

You can't visit anybody.

Nobody can come to visit you.

And by the way, no more fun either.

Why?

Why not?

5,600 pages, and you and I, at least in theory, bought off for

$600.

888-727-BEC.

Triple-8-727-BEC.

If you want to send me some email, I'm certainly happy to read that.

There's a whole contact button there.

Dave is in Ohio.

Dave, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Well, Jeff, thanks for having me.

And hey, consider yourself lucky in Virginia if you can stay out till midnight in Ohio.

We have to be in by 10.

What did you do?

You must have.

No, no, wait a minute, Dave.

You must have dented the car and lied about it or, you know, you're not doing well in algebra.

I mean, why else would you have to be home by 10?

Well, there's no other reason other than

it just, you know, gives just that little bit more of a pint of blood of control over to the Ohio government.

And was that your governor that did that?

He did, yes.

I don't know.

At 10 o'clock, and I don't even understand this because now they're letting the bars, they stay open till 10, but we kind of got an oxymoron there.

If you have to be in by 10, but the bars don't close till 10, unless you've got one of them transporters from Star Trek Enterprise that just dropped you home, I don't know how you're supposed to do it.

Well, maybe they just assume you're going to pass out on the floor.

You'll wake up in the morning and everybody's back to work.

It's all good.

It's all good.

Wow.

Nuttiness.

Dave, I appreciate the call.

Casey is in Texas.

Hey, Casey, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Hey, good morning.

Good morning, Jeff.

Thanks for taking my call.

So I just want to bring up.

I'm in the military.

We have the Social Security tax was kind of put on hold for whatever it was, three or four months.

And then they're getting ready to turn it back on here coming January.

So they're getting everybody their $600.

So great.

We'll pee.

Everyone is going to, a lot of folks don't even realize that Social Security tax was put on hold.

So come January, say they were, all of a sudden they were making $150 extra.

They don't even know why.

Well, January, they're going to start taking that back, plus

what they forgave for three or four months.

So

a $300 swing for a lot of people that don't even realize it.

Wow.

It's outrageous, isn't it, Casey?

How do you know about that?

Is my question?

About the Social Security tax being on hold?

You know, the whole thing is.

yeah, I mean it was advertised a little bit, a little bit through commands in the military.

But, you know, and then a lot of folks in the private sector,

they had options to put it on hold.

Everybody in the military was automatic.

Hey, you're just going to

be taxed.

So if you're smart, maybe you set that money to the side.

And then right now there's no way to even just pay it all back right at once.

You're going to start taking it all the way until April.

So there's going to be a big swing swing in a lot of folks' paycheck.

Yep.

That's outrageous, Casey.

Just outrageous when you think about it.

And I appreciate the call.

Think about that.

So

again,

let me make it simple.

I told you yesterday, I'm the only one in this room, and I'm still not the smartest one in the room.

So make it so I can understand.

They took it out of my left pocket,

and they put part of it in my right pocket.

and they said you you should be grateful for what we've done for you we have given you six hundred dollars

no you just kind of sort of gave back some of my money and my follow-up question would be where's the rest of it don is in minnesota hey don welcome to the glenn beck program Yeah, hi, Jeff.

Thanks for taking my call and Merry Christmas to you, sir.

Merry Christmas, Don.

Yeah, you know, my wife and I got the first $1,200 stimulus check way back when each of us got it $1,200.

We decided that we did not need as much as many other deserving people, so we donated all of it to Wounded Warriors.

Now,

if we do get well, because we sat on it for a week and said, what do we do?

We weren't even expecting it.

We said, okay, we got it.

So, and we were both surprised.

Well, how come we're getting it?

And I said, my wife and I decided, no, this is not something we should be taking.

And let's find it.

I was already donating monthly to the Wounded Warriors.

I said, let's send it all to them.

And, you know, we felt really good about that.

Now, if we do get the next $600

check, we have already decided it's going to go to the Talonstuck Towers Foundation.

Oh, what an amazing organization they are.

Yes, yes.

I'll tell you what.

I mean, I've been investigating all of these charities as to who gives the most, you know, like they get the most bang for the buck.

I mean, almost, I almost cry when I look at these people.

And then then we are here talking about all of the BS for six hundred dollars.

So on the main thing I wanted to tell you was on Joe Biden giving credit to the Trump administration without saying his name,

I don't think Joe Biden is telling Joe Biden what to say and when to do it because

because if he can't even remember how to do that,

my guess my guess is it is Princess Coelho or Kamala, if you want to call her that,

and her merry band of thieves that is running his mouth.

So it's almost funny if it wasn't for the damage it'll do to the next generation.

You know, I have a son who's in California, God forbid.

He's coming around.

But

I hope the younger generation will start to wake up and smell the coffee.

We had a caller yesterday on Sean Hannity.

There was a guest host that was doing that

who actually who actually said out loud to the guest host.

I was like, I stopped my car, pulled over, I was listening to, is this really happening?

This guy is going on.

It's over for you, Republicans.

We got control of the machines.

We got control of the process.

We just don't give a damn how we do it.

After putting up with you guys for so far, we now think the ends justify the means.

That host was really at a loss of words that he was admitting that on the air.

And he said, damn you, we don't give a damn anymore.

Well, Don, I'm going to tell you, and I appreciate that call.

That seems to be what this is.

It has become a case of who are you going to believe, me or your lion eyes?

And you know how we got to this point?

Because for the last four years,

every day,

the mainstream media, as many like to call them, I call them the legacy media.

This is the old media.

It is comprised of people who are leftists.

And that's okay.

Look, I don't begrudge anybody their political opinion.

I don't think that's my place.

But every single day, those folks told us what a terrible human being Donald Trump was in Russia, Russia, Russia.

And you get to a point where you say, Okay,

could you at least let this man do his job?

He's been elected.

I know you hate the fact that he won.

You hate him.

You hate me.

You placed me in that basket of deplorables.

I got it.

Believe me.

You told me you hated me, and you know what?

I take you at your word.

You got to learn to believe people

for four years, four years, every single opportunity they had, they kicked him, they punched him, they kicked you, they punched me.

And that got to the point where we are now, where they can say, we don't care what you 70, 75, 80 million people had to say.

We changed the story.

We're writing the story.

And we've decided we're going to write you out.

of this chapter.

By the way, quickly, Don mentioned Tunnel to Towers, an amazing organization.

They are paying off the mortgages of police officers who are killed in the line of duty, murdered in the line of duty.

They just paid off the mortgage for somebody who I had tremendous admiration for, Virginia State Police Special Agent Mike Walter.

He was murdered a couple of years ago while performing his duties.

And Tunnel to Towers came in and said to his widow and to his children, we got you six.

We got you.

Just amazing.

888-727-BEC, 888-727-BEC.

Jeff Katz in today for Glenn.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

It's the Glenn Beck program.

Jeff Katz in today for Glenn.

A lot of stuff that is in the

front window.

You know, I mean, here's what I mean.

I'm looking out my window.

I'm sitting here in what I call my broadcast hut.

And I'm looking out the window and I'm looking at the trees and they're sort of blowing in the breeze.

And there's beautiful grass out there.

And I've got all sorts of errands I'm supposed to run starting at around,

I don't know, another hour or so.

I've got to go get some glasses.

Heidi and I are going to go and spend the last of our flex spending account.

And we're acting like we won the lottery.

Oh my gosh.

Look at that.

There was, I don't know, $200 left.

And then we said, well, that's our money.

Yep.

Well,

why are we so excited that we're getting our money?

And by the way, we have to spend it, right?

If you got the flex spending thing, you've got to spend it by the end of the year.

If it's your money, shouldn't you have the opportunity to spend it?

That's just my thinking.

So I'm looking out this window and I'm thinking, okay, well, I'm going to go do that.

I'm going to go spend $200

on a spare pair of glasses.

Like, I've already got my glasses.

Well, I'm at an age where I got two pairs of glasses, but that's besides the point.

You know, you do get to an age where

every body part has their own doctor.

You know, when I was 20, well, I didn't go to the doctor when I was 20.

Well, as I was 30, if I didn't feel well or was sick, I went to the doctor, head to toe.

Boom, one doctor, you're in, you're out.

Yeah, you get to a certain age.

You got your knee doctor, you got your hip doctor, you got this doctor.

It's like, oh, goodness gracious.

And then you get excited.

You get excited.

Oh, I get to go spend my own money.

I wasn't asked how I wanted to spend it.

I was told I had to spend it.

It's kind of the same way with the $600 payment.

It's our money.

You get what I'm saying?

It's your money.

And it's not even all of you.

They gave you part of your money back.

Be happy you don't live in Maine.

Maine just instituted the $18

per hour minimum wage I know what you think about it's great

somebody can go make $1,800 or $18 an hour problem is the business owners are saying

we can't afford that so we're gonna close down and we're gonna move

Unintended consequences Tom is in New York Tom welcome to the Glenn Beck program hey Jeff thanks for taking my call thanks for making it Yeah,

I live in upstate New York.

It's beautiful here, but we're under the same beautiful power-grabbing governors.

And I mean, there's so much people don't know.

I'm so glad, I don't know.

I sure hope that Trump stays in office.

But if he doesn't, there's a possibility that we may actually lose our governor to be attorney general, which is really scary.

It's great for New York, but in the big picture, it's not.

I mean, if you go back, you look at the Moreland Commission.

I mean, they got Como's right-hand man, who Como, you know, he knows everything.

So, and then he closed down the Moreland Commission.

If Trump would do something like that, it'd be crazy.

And then, you know, with all this, the handling of the COVID, he didn't use the Red Cross ship.

He didn't use the Javits Center.

He sent patients to nursing homes.

He sent patients up to Albany to spread this.

And then, as a kicker, for all the people that went down and volunteered to work in the city, he taxed them at the New York City rate.

I mean, what a

yeah.

No, don't say it.

We got it.

I got it.

Tom, it's outrageous.

It is absolutely outrageous.

And who thinks a governor Cuomo becoming an attorney general Cuomo is going to look into, I don't know, election fraud?

Hmm, I don't think so.

The goings on of the Biden family?

I did ask yesterday, is it too early to refer to Team Biden as La Josa Nostra?

Is that pushing?

It might be pushing it.

If it's pushing it, you let me know.

Do you ever watch The Stand?

It's a brand.

Well, it was a Stephen King book.

So my wife comes to me the other day.

She says, you know, we need a show we can watch together.

Oh, okay.

How about The Stands?

And said, isn't that written by Stephen King?

Yeah.

I said, I don't like it.

Did you read the book?

Nope.

Well, how do you know you don't like it?

Because I don't like anything that he writes.

I read or tried to read one or two of of his books.

I just didn't like his style.

Now, that's just me.

I know there are millions and millions and millions of people who love his stuff, and that's great.

I just didn't like it.

Oh, no, we should watch it.

Okay.

So, I watched the first episode.

I say, you know, it's not bad.

Yeah, I'm in for the second one.

And then I come across a story.

Apparently, there's a character, and I guess it's a character that pops up later in the series.

And the character is deaf.

Well, the actor playing that character is not deaf.

And now, there are some people outraged that a deaf actor was not hired to play the deaf character.

Now, I understand.

I

told you.

You know, father of the special needs little girl,

I want every human being to have every opportunity possible.

But isn't the very nature of acting

to pretend to be someone you're not?

Isn't the essence of whatever whatever that actor is doing pretending to be someone he's not

Why would anybody be outraged by that?

I don't quite get that

888-727-BEC 888-727B Jeff Katz in today for Glenn.

It is the Glenn Beck program

It is the Glenn Beck program.

Jeff Katz in today for Glenn.

Thrilled to be here.

888-727-BEC, 888-727-BEC.

The squad.

You know the squad, right?

The

uber-leftist, uber-progressive members of the House, AOC, and some of the other far, far, far-left folks.

Look, they're not exactly people that I would find myself in agreement with on a regular basis.

And I'm going to go out on a limb here and say probably not your way of thinking either.

This

measure

that they're putting forward should be something that everyone agrees on.

Now I know it sounds bizarre.

Wait a minute Jeff.

They're so far left.

No, I'm telling you.

They have decided that in an effort to help people

not get

the dreaded coronavirus,

that more criminals, more prisoners must be released, but not all prisoners.

No, that would be silly.

Come on, you wouldn't want to release all prisoners.

Well, maybe you would.

Maybe that's what your real plan is, but at least not publicly.

You don't want to say it.

So they have put forward a bill.

They've introduced a bill that will release

the obese.

Those who can fly their fat flag should be released from prison.

Any obese prisoner.

And it doesn't matter what the crime is.

Rapists, serial killers, child molesters, it doesn't matter.

The measure is called, because they always come up with one of these goofy names, right?

The Dismantle Mass Incarceration for Public Health Act.

By the way, is that mass that you're referring to, the Body Mass index?

Is that the BMI?

We're just letting the fat people out, Jeff, and you know they're not going to run that fast because look at you.

You're not running that fast.

Wow.

And it would require

not a suggestion, not a, hey, you got any fat prisoners?

Ah, cut them loose.

It would require states and localities

to release, quote, certain individuals from jails and prisons.

Jails as well.

Jail is where you go before you get to go to prison.

It's like a graduation ceremony.

Okay,

you committed a crime.

We're locking you up.

It's only going to be for a period of time until you go before the magistrate.

You go before the judge.

He sets some sort of bail.

And then you're off to the races.

Okay.

Or you've got like a minimal sentence, 30 days, 90 days.

I don't know.

Maybe some places it's a year.

As well as prison, where you go after

you are officially a bad person.

So exactly

how many people would be released?

Anyone with a body mass index of 30 or above.

So let's say you're 5'6,

you weigh 187 pounds.

Boom!

Get out of jail free card.

How about a mugger?

You're 5'8 ⁇ , you weigh 200 pounds.

There you go.

6 feet, 225 pounds.

You're done.

And that, it doesn't matter if you are a muscular person at that weight.

I mean, think about it.

How many professional athletes would be 6'1, 6'2, 220, 240?

Hardly obese.

But under this this law, if it became law, they would be considered obese.

They get the kid out of jail free card.

Now, I I think somehow you could, you got to put that together with some sort of buffet.

You know, you got out of jail because you're grossly overweight and you got to maintain that weight because that was the whole reason you got out of jail or you got out of prison.

I don't know.

Maybe it's free donuts.

Oh, free donuts.

That reminds me.

I got to go to Wawa today.

If you have Wawa where you are, love Wawa.

You know, when you grow up in Philadelphia, Wawa is the quickie store, you know, the convenience store.

And I hate to say it because my friends in New England will be absolutely appalled, but the coffee at Wawa, actually better than Dunkin' Donuts.

Shh, I didn't say that.

But every Tuesday, Wawa gives you free coffee, any size.

And every single solitary week, I get into an argument with my wife.

Because we'll go to Wawa to get our free coffee.

I get the extra large coffee.

Why?

Because it's free.

My wife, No, I don't know.

I was thinking about a medium.

Why would you get a medium?

Well, I'm a little more thirsty than a small, but I don't want a large.

What do you mean you don't want it?

Well, I don't think I could drink it all.

It's free.

Yeah, but I can't drink.

Well, give it to me.

Yeah, but it's for me.

It's a free coffee for me.

It's not free.

I got my free coffee.

Mine is the extra large.

If I could drive a tanker truck up to Wawa and say, I'm here for my free, any size free coffee that's what I would do who gets into an argument well I know it's free man I don't you know it's too big

oh my gosh so anyway so that's that's part of my uh it's one of my agenda items for

today

888-727-BEC 888-727B reminder to you and I am so serious about this if you are looking to be aware and obviously you're part of this program you want to be aware glennbeck.com and theblaze.com are must must, must visit websites every single day, multiple times a day, because the legacy media is not going to give it to you.

The legacy social media is not going to give it to you.

It is a bizarre time in which we live.

Cindy is in Ohio.

Hey, Cindy, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Hi.

Hi, Jeff.

How are you?

I am fine, thank you.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Thanks.

Jeff, I was was just calling because I am so incensed at this,

quote, relief package.

My patriotism, my loyalty, my soul, and my feeling for my country and my freedom, for my defense of the Constitution, and for my president, Donald J.

Trump, none of those are for sale for $600.

How about $605, Cindy?

If I could get you $605,

what are you willing to give up?

I'm not willing to give up anything, Jeff.

And I've been calling my legislatures here in Ohio.

Governor DeWine is my governor also, and he knows me on a first-name basis.

Uh-oh.

I am so I, oh, yes.

I try not to swear.

And I appreciate that.

Thank you.

Yeah, and I am a Christian.

I do not believe in violence, but I do believe there is a time when a country and a people must defend that country and themselves.

I want Donald Trump to keep fighting.

I want transparency in this election.

I want to hear from everyone

of the whistleblowers.

And

I want this taken care of.

And all my friends, I have told them I am geriatric, but I, you know, I get around pretty well.

And

they don't want to see a bunch of my old lady friends and myself with our canes, you know, coming for them

in a mob.

And I just, I'm so, so grateful for people like you.

And I just, I wish Donald Trump would veto this bill.

I hear you.

You know,

I hear you.

Listen, I appreciate that so much, and I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas.

I got this image now of the mob of angry older women

coming after folks with canes.

But how many people are at that point?

I know.

Look,

look to January the 6th right January the 6th is when these electoral college votes are presented to Congress

and I keep reading and again I'm trying to make heads or tails out of this and some of it is you've got to be a constitutional scholar to really understand it and I'm not.

But it seems to me you need one member of Congress, and it seems like we've got him, right?

Congressman Mo Brooks from Alabama and you need one member of the United States Senate.

Well, Mitch McConnell is already apparently telling the folks in his caucus, I don't want any mess.

It's just, nope, nope, nope.

Nobody joined with that Brooks character.

We're putting this through, fast-tracking it.

Biden's the guy.

I've known him for 50 years.

Good guy.

We drink scotch together.

You know, how bad a guy could he be?

Well, I don't know.

I think pretty bad.

I think

there's a lot of bad ideas that have been jammed into his briefing book.

And I think,

you know,

I think about people who go out every day and actually make a difference.

You know, it's weird.

Here I am.

I'm looking at four big cups.

I'll post this up on my

my Facebook page a little bit later, but I've got my four cups from my friends at Mission Barbecue.

One of my favorite places.

They're all over the country.

Founded after 9-11.

Every day at noon, they play the national anthem, which I just love.

I try and get there at noon.

But I have a white cup because that money goes to support wreaths across America.

I've got a black cup that goes to support the USO.

I've got a red cup that is designed to help firefighters.

And I got the blue cup, which is really you know near and dear to my heart because that is helping police officers

right everyone I just mentioned goes out there every single day doing the right thing

and how many of those folks know that they're coming home

police officers all over America under attack

Buy them that coffee, will you?

Or if you're in Mission Barbecue, because now it is the Blue Cup season, as we get ready for National Law Enforcement Day, seriously, buy them a big drink.

Make a difference.

You're going to start seeing billboards around America, too.

Did you know that?

The Chesterfield County Police Department here in Virginia, the chief down there, his name, Jeffrey Katz.

So you know, I love him.

I love him already.

Jeff Katz, Chief Jeff Katz.

But he put together a campaign

of videos thanking police officers.

So you think, oh, that's great.

You're thanking the cops in Chesterfield County where you are.

He said, no.

We've arranged with some billboard companies to donate billboard space.

These thank yous are going up in cities all across America.

Be on the lookout for them, will you?

888-727-BEC, 888-727-BEC.

If you want to hit me up on, I mentioned Facebook, Radio Cats over there, or email me.

I'm always happy to take a look at that.

Go to my website, thejeffcatshow.com, and just fill out that contact form, thejeffcatshow.com.

It is Jeff Katz.

Happy as I'll get out to be filling in for Glenn today.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

It is the Glenn Beck program.

Jeff Katz sitting in for Glenn today.

We've got more

lockdowns coming.

That's what we keep hearing.

The threats are out there.

My gosh.

Seems to get worse and worse every single day.

We're not going to let you out of your house.

There is going to come a point

where good, decent people say, yeah,

I don't know.

I'd like to see more numbers, wouldn't you?

I'd like to go back to the first issue, which was when we were told we have to flatten the curve.

It's going to take two weeks, Jeff.

Everybody can do two weeks.

It's not a big deal.

Gotcha.

Government was running it.

I figured, all right, the two weeks will be three, four, five weeks.

But then we'll be done.

Now what are we looking at?

I got no idea.

Diane is down in Florida.

Maybe she's got a handle on it.

Hey, Diane, welcome to the Glambeck program.

Well, hello.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yeah, about this COVID thing.

How do we know it's not just another strain of a really bad flu?

And maybe they're combining the numbers for the flu and COVID.

Well, they are.

That's what, Diane, I asked that very question.

I said, how come we're not hearing about the flu this year, right?

Every year you hear, oh my gosh, the flu is bad or the flu is good.

And one of my doctor friends said, Jeff, I'm looking at

this source of information, CDC apparently, that has something that they called the PIC.

And that was the number combining pneumonia, influenza, and COVID.

So that didn't make any sense to me either.

Nope.

This is ridiculous.

And I'm actually from Minnesota, like the other guy that called, but he's really got an accent.

He's got the don't-you-know Fargo accent.

Get in your car and go home.

Yeah, we got something to feed into that wood chipper first, Diane.

That's not going to be a pretty fig.

I appreciate the call.

Vicki is in Colorado.

Hey, Vicki, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Well, thank you, Jeff, for taking my call.

How are you doing?

I'm doing well, thank you.

Good.

I have a few grievances I wanted to speak about.

Now, you know, it's not festival yet, but okay.

Okay.

I'm in agreement with the last caller before the last Cindy.

I'm a United States citizen, so not only do I call my reps in Colorado, but I'm calling all reps and senators.

Right.

Because the election did affect me.

Of course.

Now, many of them,

I'm going to tell you a secret, a lot of them will not answer their phone.

They'll send me the message and they'll get back with you, which they never do.

Yeah.

But I have to say, Governor Bennett of Colorado has been very good.

Rand Paul, Cruz, and GoSart.

But

I'm incensed.

I hear you, Vicki.

I hate to do it.

I've got to run here.

But given that tomorrow is festivous, the airing of the grievances would be purely purely appropriate.

Hopefully, we get the chance to talk about it.

Jeff Katz, filling in for Glenn, this is the Glenn Beck Program.
