JAILED for Daring to Feed Her Family | Guest: Arthur Brooks | 5/6/20

I want to talk to you a little bit about Built Bar.

Yes, our spotlight sponsor.

What happened to my Built Bar?

I don't know.

You probably ate it, is my guess.

Well, I did, but I wanted to show you the wrapper again.

What I found on this, this is delicious.

It's the coconut chocolate cream bar.

And it says right here, made with 100% real chocolate.

This is 150 calories.

It's a protein bar, but it tastes like a candy bar.

I hate protein bars.

My wife tried to get me to eat one of these because Stu's wife turned my wife onto it.

And I'm like, no, I'm not going to, until I was desperate enough and there was nothing around to snack on.

I am, I am a, I have a sweet tooth and I have to have like a bowl of ice cream or something at night or I lose my mind.

150 calories.

It's really, really healthy and it tastes like a candy bar.

I want you to go to builtbar.com.

The fusion

Oh, man.

I am so sick and tired of bringing this news to you.

But the government is just out of control.

Just out of control.

Yesterday, the salon owner that we had on last week was sentenced to jail for opening her salon because she was going to go out of business.

Her

salon workers were

struggling with money.

They had no money.

They needed to go back to work.

So she opened last week.

We had her on.

Today, in Texas, they sent her to jail.

Wait until

you hear what the judge said.

We had microphones.

It was on YouTube yesterday.

So microphones were in the courtroom.

You've got to hear it.

It is unbelievable.

That's coming up in 60 seconds.

This is the Glenbag program.

So I was full on white trash yesterday.

It was great.

You know, my neighbor two doors down is Rex Tillerson, the former Secretary of State.

He was the head of Exxon.

And it just makes me happy that even with all that Exxon money, he just

could not get away from Hillbilly neighbors.

And

I'm proudly the hillbilly neighbor.

Yesterday,

I had a bonfire in the back because we had to burn a bunch of stuff.

And so I had a bonfire two doors down from Rex Tillerson's house.

And I even got on the lawnmower.

I have a hustler lawnmower, got on the lawnmower, zipping around.

You know, some people like

in my area, people will like, they have little golf carts and they don't.

I don't have a golf cart.

I don't, no.

And so they had these little golf carts.

I got the lawnmower.

I just get the kids on the lawnmower and we just go.

I'm thinking about going to the store on the lawnmower

just

because my neighbors will go, good lord, what is Beck doing now?

Anyway, Hustler Turf, it's a great, it's a great

automobile replacement, quite honestly.

This thing is built like a tank.

It was built, Hustler Turf builds these lawnmowers for commercial purposes.

A few years ago, they started making them for for your home.

So they have all of the engineering of 40 years of zero-turn lawnmowers.

They're the people who invented it.

They revolutionized the lawn mowing experience for

private companies and for lawnmowering services and the states and everybody else.

Now they're doing it with you.

And I'm telling you, it is the last lawnmower you're ever going to have to buy.

It is built like a tank, and it will save you a ton of time when you are mowing your lawn because it's a zero turn lawnmower which is fantastic before you buy anything if you're looking to buy a new lawnmower before you make the decision you have to check out hustler turf go to hustler.com check them out they have 1400 nationwide hustler dealers made here in america it's power-up month the best time to get a new hustler zero turn lawnmower right now and you'll get an extra year of extended warranty coverage go to hustlerturf.com, click on the radio offer button, top of the right-hand corner, enter my name Beck, and you'll get the details of the extended warranty.

Tonight on Glenn TV, the Democrats claim to be the party that believes all women.

But what about Tara Reed?

Joe Biden is Joe Biden.

He's a person of great values.

So I want to remove all doubt in anyone's mind.

Glenn examines the allegations against Joe Biden and does what the the left and the media didn't do for Brett Kavanaugh.

Follow the facts.

Watch Glenn expose the dangerous Me Too hypocrisy of the left tonight, 9 p.m.

Eastern at Blazetv.com/slash Glenn.

Yeah,

I'm going to introduce you to the

seven,

seven accusers of Joe Biden.

Tonight, you don't want to miss it.

And we really try to do a very thorough examination of the charges and everything that's going on.

You decide.

Nobody else in the media is apparently willing to do this.

So it's

left up to us, us Yahoos that have no authoritative truth, apparently.

All right, I want to take you now to Dallas, Texas.

Shelly Luther was

a woman here in Texas, or she still is, but she's now in jail.

And she's never had a run-in with a law.

She's not a revolutionary.

She's just a salon owner.

And she got to a point where she couldn't keep her salon closed anymore.

Now,

we have created a black market.

I mean, this is why these things never work.

There's a black market.

You can go get your hair cut.

Somebody will come to your house and cut your hair.

People are getting their hair cut.

So we're now making people into criminals.

So she can't, she's going to lose her business.

People on her staff were having a hard time feeding their children.

They needed the money.

So last week,

we now know because of yesterday that salons are open in Texas on Friday.

So she was a week early.

She opens it up.

She gets a court order immediately because

this is what she says.

I don't know this for sure, but she said that the one who had lodged the complaint was the store owner, you know, a couple of doors down, which was a dog grooming place, which was open.

So it was cool to have your dog groomed, but you couldn't groom.

So she gets a court order and she says,

no, I'm not going to do it.

And she gets a cease and desist order from a judge.

She is on television and she rips it up.

Well, that really pissed off the judge.

And, you know, we're not a system of laws anymore.

We're a system of men.

How dare you, how dare you, quote, defile

a cease and desist order by ripping it up?

How dare you?

You don't believe me?

Listen to the judge yesterday when she was hauled in front of court and sentenced to jail.

Listen to the arrogance of this judge.

That you now see the error of your ways and understand that the society cannot function where one's own belief in a concept of liberty permits you to flaunt your disdain for the rulings of duly elected officials.

That you owe an apology to the elected officials whom you

disrespected by flagrantly ignoring and in one case defiling their orders which you now know

that you understand that the proper way in which an or in an ordered society to engage concerns which you may have had is to hire a lawyer and advocate for change an exception or an amendment to laws that you find offensive

That you publicly state that this is the way that citizens in the state should behave.

And that you represent.

Stop.

I can't take it.

I can't take it.

She has to apologize.

You notice he says

that you defiled their order.

It was your order.

What do you have, a mouse in your pocket?

There is no they in that.

You issued the order.

You were offended that she ripped it up.

And so now you want an apology, a public apology.

You want to shame her.

And now you're putting her in jail

because of, quote, her arrogance

and her selfishness.

Oh, she's selfish.

Well, then the judge said to her, do you have anything to say

before I sentence you?

And she said, yes, I do.

Here is her comment.

Judge, I would like to say that I have much respect for this court and laws.

and that I've never been in this position before

and it's not someplace that I want to be

but I have to disagree with you sir when I when you say that I'm selfish because feeding my kids is not selfish

I have hairstylists that are going hungry because they'd rather feed their kids

So sir, if you think the law is more important than kids getting fed, then please go ahead with your decision, but I am not going to shut the salon.

He looks away from her when she says, I have to disagree with you.

He is so pissed off at her.

This is,

I don't even recognize this.

What are you doing?

What the hell is our country doing right now?

This is a woman who doesn't have a record she's not a troublemaker she's been forced to close her business

she's going out of business she has no money her her her salon workers have no money she obeyed for how many weeks six

There are many Americans who believe

that we should have shut things down.

We had no handle.

This is my belief.

We had no handle on

this disease.

We had no idea what we were headed towards.

I told you, it's not about the death, it's about overwhelming the system.

We can't overwhelm the system because it would be total chaos.

Well, we didn't overwhelm the system.

We did our job and we did it voluntarily.

You didn't didn't have to tell us.

We did it voluntarily.

You should have suggested it.

And now what are you doing

when we have had enough?

Not in New York, not in

a hot spot in Los Angeles,

but in places where it's...

Do you know that

if you talk to the hospitals and the nurses here in Dallas, Texas, you know, they're laying people off.

Nurses, doctors.

So you, we didn't overwhelm the system.

We have the capacity.

People are not going to go out and be crazy because nobody wants to die and nobody wants to kill anybody else.

You know, and there's always going to be stupid people out there.

I don't think she's stupid, but there always will be stupid people.

Always.

And I don't have a right

to be kept safe in fact

I don't want you to lock me into a room to keep me safe

anyone who is taking away my rights of freedom I will

I'm here at my house I'm self-quarantined

But you're forcing me

and then out of your arrogance

You think you're more important than people feeding their kids You think you're more important than a lifetime of dreams gone down the crapper

Wiping your family out.

This is what's happening in America families are being wiped out

And everybody cries about oh my gosh.

Well, if if you have if you if if you went to Harvard, I can't expect to be paying that back.

I'll never get out of debt.

Well, where's the outcry of this?

Oh, I know.

Yeah, it's coming from Nancy Pelosi because what Nancy Pelosi wants is the power.

Otherwise, give us a freaking tax cut.

You've already made unemployment, which, by the way, in many states, still people can't get their unemployment, still haven't had their unemployment checked, and the arrogance of governors like Cuomo, what comes out and says, well, then go get an essential worker's job.

Screw you,

Cuomo.

Where is the arrogance of these people?

And by the way,

they all think they're above it.

They all do.

I mean, we have the other Cuomo brother who was self-quarantined in his basement and lecturing all of us how you have to stay in.

But he was outside.

He was caught outside when he was supposed to be self-quarantined in his basement.

He wasn't.

In fact, a passerby, a biker, went, wait a minute, aren't you supposed to be quarantined?

Don't you have the coronavirus?

Yeah, shut up.

Are you kidding me?

Now, I don't know if you heard that Niles Ferguson, the guy who got the UK

to

shut everything down, he was the guy who came out from Oxford and said, oh, man, it's millions will die.

Okay,

all right.

So at the time, we thought that was pretty legitimate.

He's a legitimate guy.

Do you see that?

He resigned yesterday

because

he wasn't self-quarantining.

He decided that he was going to go have a sexual affair with a married woman

who lives at home with her husband and two children.

If you believe this,

what are you?

You're trying to kill her and her children and her husband?

No, they're above it.

They're above it.

That's for everybody else.

That's the little people.

Well, maybe in merry old England, but not here in America.

I agree with the quarantine.

I do not agree that we are not balancing this with common sense and an understanding of what we've done to the economy.

And when I say the economy, I'm not just talking about money.

I'm talking about people's dreams.

I'm talking about people's ability to have money

to be able to feed themselves.

What is it, a right to life, liberty?

Oh, and the pursuit of happiness.

This is ridiculous.

It's absolutely obscene.

But wait, there's more.

I continue in one minute.

All right, when you're living in constant pain, you have to ask yourself,

is the pain in my ass region?

Because if it is, it's most likely coming from the government

and they can't help you with that.

Only your vote will help with that.

Relief factor can help you pretty much with everything else.

Relief factor actually reduces inflammation in the body, and that's where most of our pain comes from.

You know, you injure your body and you have swelling.

Well, that's inflammation.

And the inside of your body is on fire.

If you're sick or injured, you need to reduce that inflammation.

I can't tell you how many times I've taken, I go to the doctor and they give me ibuprofen 800.

Shut up.

Shut up.

And then the only thing else you can do really is like a narcotic.

I don't want narcotics.

I don't want to live like that.

I finally tried Relief Factor.

I will tell you, it has changed my life.

I take it every day, have, three times a day for two years.

And yesterday, I had one of the guys helping me over at the barn.

We were working, and he said, Glenn, I cannot believe you.

He said, two years ago, you couldn't have done any of this.

I know.

I know.

I have my life back.

It means I have to go out and actually do physical labor, but I got my life back.

Thank you, Relief Factor.

Try it.

All right.

Another woman, Gabrielle Ellison.

She owns Big Daddy Zane's bar in West Odessa, Texas.

Now, I'm bringing you these stories.

I know these are happening all over the country, but damn, this is Texas.

If it's as bad in Texas, the freest state in the Union, what the hell are you living through?

Good heavens, man.

Okay, so Gabrielle Ellison, she owns this bar in West Odessa, Texas.

She said she was going to reopen her doors in violation of the state's COVID-19 lockdown because she couldn't support her family anymore.

She said, I'm losing my bar.

I'm losing all of my money.

I've got to reopen.

So she decides to reopen.

Well,

she's in trouble.

Okay, so

they want to do a protest against the state.

And it happened, what, yesterday?

Today's Wednesday, yeah.

It happened yesterday.

She says they called the sheriff's department and said, hey, there's going to be a protest, blah, blah, blah.

They were fine.

Well, they weren't fine.

The sheriff came in.

The sheriff came in

and

arrested a lot of the people at this rally.

Now, it's because they were carrying guns.

Well, wait a minute, what's the problem with that?

They were carrying guns, they say, in the bar, but they weren't in the bar.

She says, Gabrielle says that they were on private property behind the bar, not connected to the bar.

Don't know the truth about that, but if you weren't in the bar, if you're in the bar, it's against state law.

You got to obey the law with guns.

But she, but they weren't.

They were arrested outside.

Here's the real problem:

they roll in with a military tank.

You know, every time you do that, you set people off.

What the hell are you doing?

The problem here is, is the heavy-handedness.

You're only feeding into this.

Please, if you are a protester and you want your freedom, please stop showing up with rifles slung over your shoulder.

Yes, I know you have a right to do it, but you hurt yourself and the cause because everything is about an image, and so you look like you're a revolutionary.

And yes, we need a revolution, but not one with guns.

Not one with guns.

And sheriffs, stop rolling in with tanks.

You're just pissing everybody off.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

American Financing NMLS 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

All right, here's the thing.

We all have to be, excuse me,

I've got vocal cord problems.

The situation is we all have to be really, really

smart with our money.

We have to go in.

I tried to find how I could cancel some apps that I didn't even know that I was paying for.

You just got to stop

spending money

that you don't need to.

One place that you really don't need to spend money is on your mortgage.

You don't need to pay more in interest.

If you have an interest rate now on your mortgage of 4% or higher, you are paying far too much.

And American Financing can help you find the right mortgage at the right interest rate.

Save yourself hundreds, if not a thousand bucks every single month with refi or a consolidation loan.

They're still going to be tough.

But we also urge you to do it.

I am so so,

I hate to use this word, but I, but I really feel so urgent on this.

I feel a little freaked out by what's happening with the censorship now.

What, what, it is, it's a hundred, it's a thousand times worse than it was when we were talking about Prager University and everything else.

They are now saying they need authoritative voices and authoritative truth.

Well, their authoritative truth truth comes from CNN.

Their authoritative voices are CBS news.

And that comes at the direct expense of us.

They are throttling us down and

pointing you to them.

And it's so dangerous right now, especially with the coronavirus where you can't question things.

You know, if I talk about the Wuhan labs,

I get punished for that.

You will not see those posts that we do.

I bet bet you see less than half of the stuff that we post

right now because you're just not.

In fact, I know it.

I see the numbers from Facebook.

I see how many of my audience is actually exposed.

The people who signed up and said, I want stuff from Glenn.

How much is exposed and how much is not?

We're going to lose track of one another and voices will be silenced.

This is why I built Blaze TV.

It's why I started it.

So we wouldn't, there would be no one in between us.

Please join us at Blaze TV.

Tonight at 9 o'clock, we are taking on the Joe Biden accuser.

She has an invitation.

She responded to us last week, and she said, I will

get right back to you.

We have not heard back from her.

There's still time.

Maybe she will join us live tonight.

But we'll see Tara Reed.

We invited her to be a part of the program tonight.

And we are going to go through all of the things that she said and all the things that Joe Biden and the press are doing.

The story that they won't do, but we will tonight, 9 p.m.

Welcome to the program, Mr.

Pat Gray.

How are you, sir?

I'm good.

I'm good.

Is there a better example of what you were just talking about than those two doctors from Los Angeles who have

tested and treated over 5,200 patients, and they were contradicting things that Fauci was saying.

So that YouTube took them off.

Just shut them down.

Just took their video off.

What's crazy about this, Pat, is they may not be right on everything,

but is Fauci right on everything?

No.

Is the WHO?

We're talking about what's so crazy.

Let people decide they're smart enough to make their own decisions.

Yes.

Yes.

And they don't see that

the problem that

the left says they have with

faith is it dumbs you down.

You know,

you can't talk about things.

They don't want you to investigate things.

You know, there are bad questions.

Oh, the devil made you say that.

All these kinds of things.

That's what they hate.

They hate the fact that the Catholic Church

locked in the tower.

And so do I.

You know, Galileo locked up in the tower.

I hate that.

That's completely out of control because the church became political.

Well, I got news for you.

Science is now political.

Science is now the church.

And you cannot vary from what official science says, period.

Even scientists can't.

Those doctors may be wrong on some things, but they have a valid place

and a valid reason to speak out if that's truly what they believe and they have the science to back it up, even if they're wrong, because science is always wrong.

It's always wrong.

Butter's good for you, butter's bad.

Butter's good, butter's bad.

Butter's good, butter's bad.

Shut up.

You don't know how big the universe is.

You don't know anything.

We've never explored the bottom of the ocean.

Stop telling me that you know everything because you don't, especially something like the coronavirus.

They're just locking people up into the tower if they disagree.

It's making people so cynical.

We

did an internet poll just on Twitter asking people if and when a vaccine comes out, will you take it?

70% said no.

Because they don't.

They're going to be forced to.

They're going to be forced to.

That's what I said.

They'll probably mandate it.

And then you're really going to get it

back up.

Then they're really going to be pissed.

You know, people thought that it would be a Second Amendment thing that could cause a revolution and a war in this country and a civil war.

It could be something as simple as a vaccine.

And only because people don't trust the government anymore.

Yeah, and they don't trust any of this.

They don't trust some private business owners either, like, I don't know, Bill Gates,

really leery of that guy.

Yeah, and this is one of the reasons why

people have talked about the Swedish model as something that we could do here.

And it's really, just like we always say with healthcare, you can't just plop the Swedish model into the United States.

The Swedish people are very compliant and trusting of government and experts.

And they're very, they're the size of like Rhode Island.

Yeah, and it's not even meaning there anyway, but that's a whole nother story.

But

it's not a plausible option, as we've been talking to Bernie Sanders about for decades here in this country.

Like, you can't just plop these solutions from a 10 million person country into the United States and expect it to work the same way.

And, you know, again, I think you're right, Clan, you brought this up earlier.

If you're not rolling into

bars with tanks, the the people are going to be a lot more likely to trust you when you have a different solution.

Let me ask you this, Stu.

You heard the audio, Pat, you heard the audio a few minutes ago of the judge in that salon owner case here in Dallas where he said, You defiled my order, and

you know, you're going to jail.

You're arrogant, you're selfish.

She said, I'm just trying to feed my family.

Now, imagine what would happen if a judge in Texas said the same thing and the defendant responded the same way, except she wasn't a salon owner.

She was an illegal alien.

Imagine what would be said.

Oh man.

Yeah, that just wouldn't happen.

And you're going to separate this woman from her family for seven for seven days?

You'd never do that to an illegal alien.

No illegal aliens can be separated from their families, but American citizens can, and nobody even cares.

Nobody cares about it.

I'm telling you, there is a, there's a, and I urge people, I am with you.

I am with you.

Those who want to march and

protest, I think this is, this is another tea party coming, but this one is stronger.

And you will have more people on your side, but you can't roll in with arms and the back of a, you know, I saw those people up in Michigan and they had the back of the you know the Humvee

or whatever it was you know one of the big army trucks and they had guys you know peeking out from behind with rifles that's people don't want that no Americans don't want revolution we're not blood in the streets kind of people

and

every time you do that you separ you hurt your case Please don't do that.

Please don't do that.

Everything is about image.

This is why Martin Luther King won.

He knew if we strike back, if we do anything, we will lose.

He knew Malcolm X was wrong.

It's a different thing in America than it is anyplace else.

Don't do it.

And when you say that, people always go back to...

Well, the founders, the founders just, the founders got...

Yeah, the founders waited like 40 years of peaceful means.

They went back and forth to Britain over and over and over seeking redress.

They tried and tried and tried to do something peaceful.

And at the last resort, when there was nothing else available to them,

what is our last resort?

Well, not the last resort.

They had, the king had soldiers quartering in their home.

They were searching papers in their home.

Now, me personally, I think you could make a case that the federal government is doing that right now by spying on us and having tracking all of our movements and tracking all of our voices and drones up in the sky.

I mean, you could make the case, but you've got to win the hearts of the American people and they are on your side.

But the minute you look like Antifa, you lose.

You lose.

Yeah, no, no doubt about it.

It's just, it's every time you show up armed like that,

I think in the minds of the American people, you're an extremist, and that's what they label you as.

And here's the problem.

It's going to hurt the re-election of Donald Trump.

If that becomes a big force like Antifa, if you start to see that on the street, Donald Trump will support your ideas.

I can't believe I'm saying this about him because this was my biggest fear, is that he would become a dictator kind of guy.

Well, he hasn't.

He's demonstrated the exact opposite.

But so he's agreeing with you in principle that these things shouldn't be happening.

But the minute he says that, they're going to say, look, he's for this military uprising, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And you will sway some people because people, Americans don't like those images.

And those images are all that's going to be seen.

That's all that's going to be seen.

Well, look what they've done.

Look what they've done to the images of the two swastikas that were at that Michigan rally that you've been talking about.

The Michigan rally had,

all they've talked about in the press is the two swastikas.

And the swastikas weren't praising Nazis.

They were saying you're acting like a Nazi and we're opposed to that.

But that's not the way it was presented in the press.

So they took that and turned it completely around.

Take a look at my career.

There is, I won the Defender of Israel award.

Okay, I didn't win it.

I mean, it was not like a campaign, you know, it was not like a contest.

I was awarded the Defender of Israel.

The award was presented by Sheldon Adelson and his wife and Benjamin Netanyahu.

Okay.

And yet,

the press said that I was an anti-Semite.

How many Jewish people believe that I'm an anti-Semite?

Because they took everything I said.

I said, look at the pattern.

This is the beginning of Nazi kind of stuff if you don't stop it.

Look at the pattern of anti-Semitism in Europe.

Look at what's happening in our own country, in our universities.

Somehow or another, they made me look like an anti-Semite.

Okay, well, if, I mean, I was on Fox News.

You're not on Fox News.

You're not there every day to defend yourself with a powerful voice.

If they have those images, they will destroy you.

And I don't mean to be insulting, Glenn, but you are a legitimately terrible anti-Semite.

Oh, you are awful at it.

I know.

And you just can't pull it off.

You keep it.

I mean, for a guy who's so anti-Semitic, you just keep praising Jews all the time.

What is going on with you?

I'm really bad at almost everything I do.

Yeah.

Exercise.

I always anti-Semitism.

Oh, you're just bad at all of it.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

You know, I actually, you know, you guys, we were talking off the air about the COVID-35

that

we're all gaining.

I thought it was the COVID-19.

You're now the COVID-35.

I think everybody can agree we all gained about 35 pounds and it's all easy.

That is the one thing that is really

impacting a lot of us.

I mean, the good news is we are going to be selling a lot of sweatpants.

So I hope America has not gotten out of the sweatpant industry because I don't want my dollars going over to China, their sweatshops, making sweatpants for big fat Americans.

Well, anyway.

All right.

Thank you, Pat.

You're welcome, Glenn.

It's an honor just to be here.

Arthur Brooks is coming up, senior fellow now, Harvard Business School.

He's now teaching how to build a life and how to be happy.

He is one of my favorite people on the planet.

He is a defender of liberty and the free market and just knows it inside and out and is a really happy warrior.

Can't wait to talk to him.

He's coming up in just a little while.

Also,

we have the woman who, actually, we have her lawyer.

She was supposed to be on, but she's in jail now.

But we have her attorney on in hour number three,

the woman who went to jail for opening up her salon here in Dallas, Texas, which is crazy.

By the way, speaking of crazy Texans, Dan Rather is in the news.

These guys,

they're so blind.

They think they're so smart and they are so blind as to what is happening in the country and the role that they're playing.

it's almost laughable.

We'll talk about that as well next hour and give you a preview of tonight's special, our Wednesday night special on Blaze TV, about Joe Biden and Tara Reed, the truth behind that.

Tonight, 9 p.m., Blazetv.com.

Join us now, promo code Beck.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Today, I want to reintroduce you to somebody who

really makes me feel like,

I don't know, like I have all my priorities wrong.

Every time I talk to Arthur Brooks, I think

we should be best friends.

Why don't I, why, why am I not talking to you all the time?

He is so bright,

and he is also one of the happiest warriors I've ever met.

But I never, for some reason, I just

think that's part of the happy life.

That's the expression of the bad at life.

It really is.

It really is.

He's now a professor of practice at Harvard's Kennedy School.

He is a senior fellow at the Harvard Business School.

He is the producer of The Pursuit.

He knows more about what makes the free market work and

what makes America so different

and

how to convince others that it's worth doing it this way.

This helps more people and more people are happy under a free market than any other system.

We're going to talk to him about the free market, but also

about the crisis that

the coronavirus really has put on us that we're not talking about yet.

And that is depression,

loneliness, and a general lack of happiness.

Arthur Brooks, one of my favorite guests, in one minute.

This is the Glimbeck program.

Nobody wakes up in the morning saying, Man, I really hope when I look in the mirror, I've got crow's feet and a double chin and maybe some dark spots for good measure.

Nobody does that.

If you know someone who does, stop talking to that person.

They're bad at life too.

Arthur Brooks.

Welcome to the program, sir.

How are you?

Hello, Glenn.

How are you, my friend?

I can't believe we haven't talked in so long.

I know, I know.

And we just, the last thing we said to each other is, we've got to stay in touch.

And it's been like six months.

It's really cool.

Every time I see you, I'm like, I feel like I was separated at birth from this guy.

I mean, we're all in the same way, right?

And we don't have the same value.

Yeah, we do.

We love America, but

we're not uncritical.

We see what's wrong and we want to make it right.

We're both classically trained French hornists.

Oh, no, that's you.

No,

that was just you.

Anyway, so Arthur, you are now teaching at Harvard Kennedy School.

And

what exactly is the class you're teaching?

What is it you're teaching?

So I'm a professor of leadership at Harvard, and I span two schools.

The Harvard Kennedy School is the policy school at Harvard, and the Harvard Business School is obviously HBS, is where people get their MBAs.

And I teach classes in leadership at the policy side.

I teach classes in happiness at the Harvard Business School.

It's the most incredible opportunity I've ever had.

I just finished this super popular, very oversubscribed class called Leadership and Happiness to my MBA students right before they all had to leave and not come back.

Now,

does the school and the students, do they know how much of a free market guy you are?

Well, I think, you know, most universities in America today, they'll accept a free marketeer on a case-by-case basis.

And, you know, the nice thing about it is, I mean, like most universities, Harvard University has, you know, most of the people are pretty left-leaning.

But what I love about it is

it's a real marketplace for ideas and there's an appreciation for people who think differently.

So I felt incredibly welcome.

I love it.

I have to say, and my students are smart and everybody mixes it up.

It's fine.

There could not be a better

mascot or champion of the free market and our system than you.

I'm thrilled that you're up there making an impact.

I want to talk to you a little bit about an article that you just wrote on happiness and fulfillment, because we have something that we're not really talking about.

One of the real unintended consequences of what's happening with COVID is people are wildly lonely, loneliest

according to research, loneliest Americans have ever been.

And we have real fear,

doubt.

People are going to be, you know, many people have already lost their job.

That just does horrible things to people.

So I wanted to talk to you about happiness because in this article, you said that

there's three equations.

And I want you to take us through the three equations of

how we can get better.

Yeah, no, I appreciate that.

And just to even back up a little bit, the loneliness thing is a really interesting problem because most of us, we leave our relationships up to our circumstances.

And then we can't.

I mean, most of us actually feel good when we're with other people.

Maybe not in a bustling party, but seeing other people.

But we don't know why we feel good.

And there's an answer to that.

And the answer is that there's a neurotransmitter that's created by the human brain called oxytocin.

Not to be confused with oxycontin, obviously.

But they're actually similar insofar as that oxytocin makes us feel physically good.

And when people are really lonely, they'll take drugs.

because they actually want to substitute for it.

This is one of the reasons that they found that 20% of active duty troops in Vietnam were addicted to heroin.

But

when they came back and they got their oxytocin in their brains, which came from contact with others, 95% spontaneously stopped using heroin on their first day back.

This stuff is super powerful.

And when we don't take into account this oxytocin, this neurotransmitter, this hormone in the human brain, we're going to actually feel horrible.

So the challenge is for public policymakers and leaders is understanding that we have to make cost-benefit calculations where people are not going to become depressed and lonely, even if there's some risk to society.

It's very important.

And for the rest of us, we have to understand that and make decisions where we can get our fix of the oxytocin that God wants us to have.

So

I don't know if you remember John Huntsman Sr.,

but he was a friend of mine and grew up dirt poor, became a billionaire.

And a guy that really had everything, had a great family, had a great business, great reputation, more money than, you know, the Holy Family, but, you know, the Holy Family was poor, but

I mean, just had, just had a lot.

And you would look on the outside and you would say, this guy, there's no way this guy couldn't be happy.

And he was happy.

He was fulfilled.

But he taught me something one of the first times he kind of became a mentor of mine.

And we were just walking around in his yard, his backyard, and he said, so Glenn, how much is enough?

and i said

what and he said how much is enough now here's a guy who's walking around and we were on the side of a mountain that he owned and i said i don't i don't know i don't know and he said well you have to decide and you have to decide right now he said because when you get there you won't recognize it because it won't be enough so you have to recognize it now uh otherwise you'll always be pursuing it yeah that's right and and the the key thing is that the key thing to remember is that there are basically four things that your brain is telling you to chase that are idols and they won't bring happiness.

And there are four things you should be chasing.

So here's basically, so I'll give everybody a second who's listening to us.

All million that are listening to us right now, pick up a pencil.

So the four things that your brain, that Mother Nature, is telling you you really, really want are money, power, pleasure, and fame.

And fame means prestige or whatever.

It means the admiration of other people, okay?

Money, power, pleasure, and fame.

Those are the things in Mother Nature.

If you get it, you'll finally be happy, man, but they're wrong.

They're idols.

Yeah, big time.

They're 180 degrees off of what you really want.

Here's what you really want that will actually give you enduring happiness.

Faith, family, friendship, and work that serves others and where you can earn your success.

That's it.

That's your happiness portfolio.

Those are the places where you're supposed to put your deposits.

Mother Nature, by the way, doesn't care if we're happy.

I mean, notwithstanding this thing I talked about, this oxytocin in our brains, Mother Nature, she's like, yeah, go get famous and you'll finally be happy.

You'll be on the hedonic treadmill on the hamster wheel of life for the rest of your life.

That's why John Huntsman said, Glenn, what's your number?

Why?

Because that's the only chance, if you can answer that question, to get off the treadmill.

And it is, it's, again, one of the reasons why I left Fox is because I wanted, I noticed that I was starting to want the fame.

And I knew, because I'm an alcoholic, I had already washed out once, I knew these things.

And is the minute I wanted it, I realized I'm going to destroy myself.

I mean,

and that's why people who are famous

generally will sell their soul, or if they're powerful in Congress, they'll sell their soul because they want it, and they just keep trading away the things of real meaning and value.

Oh, yeah.

No, fame is a really, it's the worst of the four, by the way.

So you can be quite happy

with money, with money.

But fame, you can only ever be happy in spite of it.

And yet people really, really want it.

And this actually comes from evolutionary biology.

So evolutionary biologists will say that people want this ratio of people who know you versus the people you know.

You want that to be really, really high because you're more likely, if you're a troglodyte 500,000 years ago, you're more likely to more baits if you have prestige.

The problem is in the current world, we've taken the ability to become famous to these incredible heights.

Anybody can be a celebrity on YouTube if you just do it right.

And so the result is that our brains are saying, get more famous, get more famous.

And yet everybody you talk to who's achieved fame, they'll say, I can only ever be happy in spite of it, but I keep running toward it.

I can't, I mean, you have the presence of mind because you're actually somebody who has battled idolatry, who has battled addiction.

But these are and these are real addictions.

Money, power, pleasure, fame.

These are real addictions.

You beat it once, and so you know what it looks like.

You know what the monster looks like.

And that guy, you know, is like trying to get in your house all the time.

So you say,

I'm going to go do something else.

And it's, I really admired that when you did it.

I knew what you were doing because I I knew you.

And I said, boy, Glenn is really has presence of mind.

This is this is it was very adroit.

And it's really weird, Arthur, because our kids are

just pursuing fame.

YouTube, Facebook,

all of society is teaching us the exact opposite.

And it's encouraging it.

And they're looking for fame.

And I'm telling you, I think you're absolutely right that it's the worst one.

It's battery acid to the soul.

And

even when

you recognize that,

as you become less famous or whatever,

there's something in you that's like, don't, no, don't, no, no, no.

And it's crazy.

You're going to die.

Yeah, it's crazy.

It's really crazy.

It really is.

For sure.

And most people,

even adults who are not trying to become YouTube stars, what they want is this admiration.

So it's a form of local fame called prestige.

I want the right people to admire me.

And it's just the admiration of people that people will, they crave so much and they work so hard to get.

And you recognize that at the end of the day, the people who admire you, they don't care if you die.

They don't care.

And if you, if you,

it's why I think there are so many people that are unwilling.

to speak out on things like the Me Too movement.

Me Too movement, it's good.

We need the balance.

You know, it's made some good things, but it's also been just battery acid on on liberties and and justice and and truth and people will just line up to just parrot whatever it is because they don't want to lose their prestige they don't want to be a pariah nobody wants to be a pariah

yeah you want to it tends to turn people into pleasers and you know i'm going to serve you know the trivial desires of other people.

It'll basically take away your dignity in the end because

whether Fox News or MSNBC or whatever, still these are profit-making organizations.

And they'll just try you out, man, again and again and again.

They'll basically instrumentalize Glenn Beck.

And you're not an instrument.

You're a human being.

You're a child of God.

You have dignity.

And only you, at the end of the day, and a few other people,

your spouse, your kids, your friends, are the people who will stand up for your dignity.

That's why when you stood up for your own dignity and said, I'm going to go my own way, I admired it so much.

And, you know, each one of us, most people were listening to you.

I mean,

they follow you, they admire you, they take your lead, they love your leadership.

And they say, well, yeah, well, it's different.

I mean, Glenn and Arthur have a different kind of life than I do, especially Glenn.

He's a big, famous guy.

Every single person faces these decisions all the time.

We face these decisions constantly.

Am I going to sell myself for a symbol of myself?

Or am I going to remember who I am and hew to that?

It's really important that all of us have this.

We sell our soul.

We become that Hollywood star or whatever every time we edit a picture of our life or we take the perfect picture of our life and post it on Facebook and don't post what really is going on.

You know what I mean?

You don't see your life a mess.

Everybody is

skewing it, which makes things worse for you because you're not living that life.

And it makes it worse for everybody else because they're like well they're living that life and I'm not it's horrible yeah it's horrible you're setting up your you're you're advertising your fake life and consuming the fake lives of others yeah I got something that's gonna blow your mind actually on this because I've been

doing research on that you got we gotta go right the give yeah give it give me one minute and we'll come right back with what's gonna blow our minds uh more with uh arthur brooks in just a second Great guy, really super smart.

And I want to talk to him about the free market and the economy

if we can get there.

Let me tell you about quickly Relief Factor.

Relief Factor, if you're in pain, I beg you, just try it.

I mean,

there are a few commercials that I do that I actually asked for.

This one had been sponsoring us for a long time, and I had always turned them down.

They wanted my voice, but for three years they advertised and they just gave up.

I started taking it because of my wife, because she loves me,

and she knows better usually.

And so I started taking it, and it's changed my life.

Yesterday I was out working in the barn, and we were doing some heavy

physical labor.

And one of the guys working with me, he's like, Glenn, I have, I mean, two years ago, you would not have been able to do any of this.

And I said, I know.

And it's because I'm out of pain now.

And Relief Factor has a huge role to play in that.

Huge.

I take it three times a day.

If you're in pain, please try it.

70% of the people who try it, they go on to order more month after month because it works.

ReliefFactor.com.

ReliefFactor.com, 800, 583, 84.

Do it now.

ReliefFactor.com.

Back in 10 seconds.

All right.

Arthur, blow our mind.

Yeah, man.

So I've been studying the effects of social media on happiness.

And I really admire the work of a social psychologist at San Diego State University named Gene Twangy, T-W-E-N-G-E.

So people can go Google her work.

She's really the leading authority on loneliness and social media.

Okay, so I talked in the last segment about oxytocin, this neurotransmitter that gives us pleasure when we connect with other people.

It comes from eye contact and touch.

That's one of the reasons we're craving it during the lockdown.

Not enough eye contact, not enough touch.

When people want it, what do they do?

They turn to the second best substitute, which is social media, to get more of this oxytocin.

They don't know they're craving it, but they're going for it.

It's kind of like when you're hungry and you reach for a burger and fries or a candy bar.

One of the main reasons for the obesity problem in America is too many calories per nutrient.

So the calorie to nutrient ratio is all goofed up.

So you get too many calories, not enough nutrients.

Your body stays hungry to get the nutrients.

The same thing with social media.

Social media is social junk food.

You want oxytocin, you go online, not enough eye contact, not enough touch, which means it's just a trickle of this hormone that their brain is craving.

And so you binge on it.

Now, the research shows that less than 30 minutes a day, it makes you happier because you're connecting to your friendships.

It is to say it's a compliment.

But more than 30 minutes a day, it becomes a substitute for your relationships.

And every hour you spend on it you will get lonelier so so this is a mind-blowing thing you get on it to be less lonely but it makes you lonelier in much the same way that you can end up getting hungrier from eating the wrong fruit food that's not nutrient dense so what we need to do if we want to be happier is you got to get a new technology get off social media and half an hour a day max time it out across all platforms and turn it off then after that the only technology we should be using to connect is stuff like zoom and skype and face time where we can get eye contact with somebody else and we'll get our oxytocin i i have to tell you arthur i hate i don't carry a phone i hate talking on the phone but i love facetime everybody makes fun of me because if you're gonna call glenn you got a face time uh and i just i love it because i feel like i'm having a real conversation on the phone it's just i don't know i just it doesn't work for me i hate it well it makes perfect sense because you're you're a true people person.

You know, you're a person, you have a lot of love for other people.

It comes through in your show.

It comes through in everything that you've done in just a minute with you and you feel like you're with somebody who loves you.

This is a great gift, by the way.

It's a wonderful thing.

It's an apostolate.

It's a mission, actually.

But that also means that you're going to be most prone to these oxytocin deficits.

You're going to be most prone to feeling like garbage when you're too isolated.

And that means that you're a perfect case for somebody who has to use this technology to get eye contact.

All right, we're going to come back with Arthur Brooks.

We're going to continue a little bit more on this, and we want to talk about how do we get back to a free economy.

All right, let me tell you a little bit about 1-800 flowers.

There is a story that I saw today.

Let me see if I can bring it up here real quick.

There was a story that I saw today about how

the flower industry is having a real tough time right now.

They got it.

So get in now.

We're with Arthur C.

Brooks, one of my favorite people in the world, and I think I figured it out why.

He is

very good at flattery,

which translates, in my case, to a very good good liar.

And he just makes you feel good when you are around him.

And I hope you feel that as well.

He's teaching

truth

at Harvard on leadership and fulfillment.

And we're talking to him about the three equations for a happy life.

And the second equation is,

let me see if I can get it here.

It's satisfaction equals, no, no, no, that's that's equation three.

Where is it?

Here it is.

Habits equal faith, family, friends plus work.

And you say it's kind of like a bank.

If you

got to make these into habits, and you got to make a deposit in each of those accounts really every day.

And Arthur, I find that almost impossible to do.

It's hard to do.

It's interesting, you know, during the break, because we took four or five minutes and while we were in the break, I checked my messages and I'm just getting bombarded by people because now it's really easy to get my email or on social media asking.

It's like, I didn't have a pencil when we wrote that down before.

So let me tell people real quickly how you can get this stuff.

So you can just enjoy my conversation with Glenn.

But at the same time, you can get this stuff.

So Glenn is referring to an article in The Atlantic.

I have a column in the Atlantic, which is theatlantic.com, called How to Build a Life.

And so if you just look for The Atlantic in my column, it comes out every other Thursday.

And I have a podcast where I talk about all this stuff full-time called The Art of Happiness.

So, go to The Art of Happiness with Arthur Brooks and just subscribe to the podcast.

It's free.

And go read the articles in The Atlantic.

It's free.

And now just enjoy my conversation with Glenn.

Sorry for the advertisement, Glenn, but that's how people can actually.

No, no, no.

I should have been doing that for you.

I also, before you hang up, I just leave with my producer.

I want to get the name of

the person in San Diego.

Oh, Gene Twangy, T-W-E-N-G-E.

And so, yeah, and that's her stuff straight.

Yep, yep.

Okay.

All right.

Family, faith, friends, and work.

I have the hardest time.

It's impossible to balance.

I've been trying to just

bring them all together as much as I can, but I'm always short-changing something.

I know.

And the thing that we tend to not shortchange, guys like you and me, and a lot of people listening to us, is work.

You know, it's like

because that's what we do.

You never like, yeah, I forgot to go to work today.

But you'll always say, I forgot after my prayers today.

I forgot to call my mom today.

I forgot to call.

I mean, it's like, think about it.

I mean, you and I are like, I love Glenn Beck.

And you're like, I want to talk to Arthur Brooks.

And it's six months between our conversations.

That shouldn't be,

not just because it's good for us to do the show together, but because we're friends.

So here's how we do it.

And this is the opportunity of the COVID-19 epidemic.

This is what we, a lot of us are unlocked.

I'm in Boston.

So, you know, there's like stay under the bed,

be very afraid.

We're not getting this.

I was just talking to a friend of mine in Idaho, just sent me a message, and he's out working on a fence.

So they have more freedom out there.

But one way or the other,

we're more locked down than we used to be.

So what do we do with that?

We have to set up our own schedule.

Start at the beginning of the day, putting together your schedule, not put together for you, and put all four of those accounts in the schedule.

You know, it's like, look, I'm going to say my prayers.

I'm going to do it today.

So I'm Catholic.

You know, you're Latter-day Saint.

We have norms of things that we do.

You know, I say my rosary every day.

It goes in my schedule.

I pray my rosary.

You know, it's like, it's really important.

You should actually have an hour at the end of the day where I'm going to FaceTime with these two people, right?

And put it into your schedule.

So you're taking as seriously your faith and your family and your friendships.

Because, look,

we neglect this stuff at our peril.

If you put all of your happiness into work, just like putting your whole pension into Greek bonds,

it might work out, but I don't recommend it.

Right.

I will tell you the one thing that I have gotten from this lockdown, I am fortunate enough, I live next door, or my kids live next door to me, my older kids.

And so we've been locked down as a family.

Just the interaction of me finishing and I'll walk over to their house after the show and I'll be like, hey, what's happening?

And play with the grandkids.

Just 15 minutes and then coming back and then seeing them later in the day.

My world is so balanced right now.

I'm going to really miss it when I go

back to work.

For sure, for sure.

Absolutely.

And if you only do work, or as work is a good thing, again, two characteristics of work to bring you happiness.

Not fame, not power, not money.

I mean, that stuff can be okay, but it should be about serving serving others and earning your success.

This is, by the way, this is the psychological basis of why I love democratic capitalism.

Because democratic capitalism, the capitalist system, which I know we're going to try to get to in this hour, is the only system that allows people to earn their success on a mass basis.

You know, the Beck family didn't come on some boat in the late 19th century saying, sure, it'll be great to get to America where there's a better system of forced income redistribution.

I mean, the Becks are like, I'm ambitious riffraff.

I want to build my life and, you know, earning success, serving others.

That's the secret to happiness through work.

And if

we don't actually pay attention to that,

right?

It is also, I think, the secret to why our capitalist system is not functioning the way it should, because

it is seeking now and giving,

you know, how to be powerful, how to be famous, you know,

how to to make money.

When capitalism really works, or the free market really works, it is the best charity system out there.

Because I sit at home and I think, how can I serve people?

How can I make their life better?

How can I, how can I, what can I create that will help them with their life?

And if you have that moral sentiment of wanting to help people, you'll get rich, their life will be,

you know, easier, and you'll be fulfilled.

I mean, it's just a great system.

Absolutely.

Unless we're pursuing the wrong four goals.

If it's money, power, rich, or fame, we're in trouble.

If it's faith, family, friends, and work that serves others and we're in our success, then everything actually falls into place.

And one of the things is, you know, you talk about culture a lot on your show,

and you talk about it really compellingly because there's a sort of a sense of regret of what we lose as a society, not because we move move away from capitalism, but because markets require morals, that we actually have to have well-ordered moral sentiments, or the capitalist system won't even work.

You know, some people think that just set the markets free and everything's going to be fine.

That's wrong.

That's actually wrong.

Unless we have our priorities in order as human beings, made to serve each other, lift each other up, to see the adventure in life.

Basically, it's this.

Each one of us has a startup.

It's called our life.

That's the enterprise of life.

I mean, by the way, you were leading your, you were doing your startup when you left Fox News.

You didn't know what you were going to do.

I didn't know you were going to wind up at a warehouse

outside of Dallas, making this new empire.

But you were treating Glenn Beck Inc.

as a startup because that's the true adventure of life, but that comes from a certain way of seeing life.

And that's not good enough if it's money, power, pleasure, and fame.

So let me talk about the free market and how we can navigate these tough times.

Arthur, I think you'll agree.

These are what we are going into are going to be the roughest economically of our lifetime.

This is probably going back to depression.

And we

can do it, although I don't think we have enough people in Washington that believe in the American people to free them.

And we are doing all kinds of things that that go against the free market.

I've been pushing for America to be called

an economic,

what was it, Stu?

An economic empowerment zone.

That

we relax some of these things and encourage people to get back to work.

But I think the opposite is also being pushed.

How do we navigate these without eating each other

and without losing our freedoms?

Well, to begin with, we should remember.

I mean, people are saying that this is an indictment of capitalism, what's actually happening during the COVID-19 epidemic.

And that's, of course, ridiculous.

I mean,

I know.

I mean, the whole, you know, what's going on today with a more abundant economy and people not being able to do what they need to do with their work, that's like any Tuesday in socialism.

You know,

this is

the exception to the rule in capitalism.

And it's worth pointing out that only capitalism is going to save us.

Nobody thinks that some dictatorship is going to develop the COVID-19 vaccine.

That's coming from capitalism.

You know, we may be messy.

We may be, you know, like protesting all the time and not being able to get along.

Sure.

That's because we have a lot of freedom.

But we will solve this crisis and we will solve it for the rest of the world, mark my words.

Now, what do we need to remember about ourselves?

Remember about our culture?

It's very important for us to remember that only we can save our economy from what has happened, and that requires each of us to put our ore in the water.

You know, the whole idea that the government is going to be able to support people forever is insane.

You know, I'm glad that we have public policies that can create a safety net.

I'm a big believer in the safety net.

I love the safety net, but only capitalism made the safety net possible.

You know, the first time in history we've been able to take care of our brothers and sisters in need that we haven't met.

That's because of the largesse and wealth that actually comes from the capitalist system.

It's also the case that we will come out of this.

And the only reason we're going to come out of this is because of hard work and human endeavor and the startup of our own lives, getting that going again.

And so we must not stand in the way of that as a government or as a people.

So when, you know, everybody's talking about opening up the economy, et cetera.

And I think I reread FDR's Only Thing to Fear, Fear Itself speech

just, what, a couple of nights ago.

And I think we're in the same place where really it is our fear

that

is stopping us.

And fear is being preached everywhere now.

How do we open this up?

I mean, because we got to get back into doing stuff, but

people are afraid.

And in some ways, rightfully so.

Yeah, no, the fear comes from uncertainty.

You know, if we actually knew what the possible outcomes are and had probabilities on them, we could insure against that.

That's called risk.

The whole insurance industry.

Right.

But there's no, insurance, you can't buy an insurance policy against uncertainty.

And that

little part of the brain called the amygdala that gets stimulated and gives you discomfort when you're, and it kept you alive.

I mean, all of us are alive today because we jumped out of the way of a moving car.

But when it's chronically stimulated by our circumstances, we're fearful, we're unhappy, and we're uncomfortable, and that's what's going on.

Okay, now

here's the solution.

Here's the antidote.

And again, I'm an economist, but I wind up doing

the happiness work because it's more fulfilling at the end of the day.

And one of the things that we know is that the opposite of fear is love.

People think that love and hatred are opposites.

They're not.

Hatred is downstream from fear.

So when you have too much fear in your life, and a lot of people are really fearful, the answer is not to try to stomp out the fear.

You need to drown it in love.

And so this is what we actually need.

It gets back to the early part of our conversation about oxytocin and loneliness and relationships and faith and family and friends.

It all comes into this seamless garment of truth, which is that if we feel fear, we need more love.

And that's the only thing that's going to solve the problem.

And this is why Martin Luther King won.

Yeah, that's right.

You know, we have a fear-based politics.

He was preaching love when...

Yeah.

Go ahead.

Yeah.

And, you know, right now, you know, we have a very much of a fear-based politics, and it proceeds pretty predictably from the 2008 financial crisis, where a lot of politicians are basically saying, you know, be afraid of the other guy.

You know, somebody's got your stuff, and I'm going to get it back.

You know, I understand that rhetoric, but it can't last forever.

Ultimately, I mean, look, you and I have strong views.

We're free marketeers.

We believe in a better society, and we promote the American military because America is a force for good in the world and all that.

But it's on the basis of the love for our society, the love for our country, love for each other, and indeed, even the love for the people who disagree with us politically and people around the world who disagree with us.

It's not based on fear of anything.

I mean, America is not a fearful country.

And so that's what we need, all of us in leadership positions, which includes, by the way, not just Glenn and Arthur, but every single person who's listening is a leader.

You have the leadership capability.

Use it for love, and you will be

part of the reason that we solve the crisis from the COVID-19 epidemic.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Oh, yeah, dog.

And it just makes you uncomfortable, doesn't it, when I say that?

Welcome, and

welcome to Wednesday.

It's the Glen Beck program.

Tonight, we are doing an expose

on Joe Biden and Tara Reed.

You're going to have to decide, you know, who's telling the truth.

And...

What do you do with that when you don't know for sure?

Well, we'll talk about that tonight, but I want to introduce you

to the seven accusers.

Stu says there's nine, but let's go through them one by one and Tara Reed

as well, because voters three to one say

the press should be covering this, and they're not.

Three to one

in the latest poll.

Joe Biden is our topic in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

So I want to tell you that I put my money where my mouth is.

Yesterday I called and I acquired some of Goldline's $5 Liberty coins.

They were minted in 1901.

They have a very small amount of these, but they are quarter-ounce coins.

Gold, according to Bank of America, JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs, three sources now, all say that they expect gold in

2021 or 2022 to be about $3,000 an ounce.

That's double where it is now.

I don't buy it as an investment.

I will tell you, at $3,000 an ounce, the world has gone insane.

It's gone insane.

That's the only reason why gold goes up is because nobody has trust in anything else.

Is the world getting more sane or less sane?

Are we doing things to strengthen our dollar or hurt our dollar?

Can you see

the trust level?

Is it getting better or worse?

You answer those three questions,

depending on how you answer, is how fast you will call gold line.

Because if you think all of those things are going in the wrong direction, you should buy gold because Bank of America and Goldman Sachs and everybody else could be right.

And this is a great way to get, you know, you're not going to go in and buy groceries with an ounce of gold.

Hey, I want to barter this, and here's this $3,000 coin for whatever.

This is why these historic $5 Gold Liberty coins are so important.

They're quarter ounce and they're historic.

Ask them for details on why.

That's why I buy them the way I do.

I don't buy bullion.

I buy old coins.

I'm a collector.

federal government.

That's what I'm doing.

Anyway,

in other news, the U.S.

Mint in New York is still shut down.

There's a shortage of gold around the world, but Goldline has their gold and can ship anywhere right now.

Call Goldline, 866Goldline, 1-866-GoldLine, or goldline.com.

Voters, three to one say the national media is not aggressive enough reporting Joe Biden's sexual assault allegations.

When you look at another poll, a new poll out, shows 26%

now of Democrats want Joe Biden to be replaced because of this.

26% say he's got to go.

So let's break this poll down here for a second before we get into the facts.

61% of Democrats believe that Biden appeared very credible or somewhat credible during his interview with Morning Joe where he denied the allegations.

61%

of Democrats,

somewhat credible,

only 61%,

when you have 40% of the American Democratic Party saying

he's not credible on this, Do you have a viable candidate?

Honestly,

26% of the Democratic Party would move to replace Biden after watching the video.

61% say they found his denial at least somewhat

credible and should remain the nominee.

The number includes 28% of Democratic women.

Only 28% say that he should remain, really?

Younger women voters are the most likely to want Biden replaced as the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party.

40% of voters under 45 agreeing that he should be replaced.

40%

under 45.

And 15% of older voters say he should be replaced.

Among general voters, so this would include the Republicans and

the Independents.

If you don't get independence, you don't win.

Among general voters, only 41% say they found found his denial somewhat credible or very credible versus 38% that say it's not credible at all.

This is going to be a problem because

he's

badly polarized

on this.

And, you know, when you have two candidates and they're both polarized, you don't usually make a change.

You're like, I'm not going to change horses.

I know what this guy is, and I may not like this guy, but I know what this guy is, and we're fine.

If you don't believe that, you know, we're fine under Donald Trump, well, then you're going to vote for really probably anybody.

But when you have two guys

and one is Joe Biden, and it's of the Democratic Party, it exposes the Democratic Party for who they are.

It exposes the media for who they are, and it would expose you.

I think there is 25 to 50% of the voting public, 50 is too high, 25 to 35 percent of voters in America that would go, you know what?

I'm not going to sell me out.

This is, it bothers me, and we'll pass on him.

That's going to be a problem.

Yeah, and I think people will overlook a lot when casting a vote here.

A lot of people have their minds made up on Trump.

You know, this is a pretty partisan country at this moment.

You know, we've been even seeing evidence lately of people coming out and saying, I believe Tara Reed and her assault accusation, but I'm still going to be voting for Joe Biden.

Which is, what are you saying about yourself when you're saying, hey, you know who would be okay for me to endorse as a candidate?

A rapist?

That is a

hell of a standard to set for yourself.

Yeah, if you believe, unlike, I mean, what Donald Trump said, you know, on that bus

years ago was really offensive, but that was

really sick, over-the-top guy talk.

Now, that doesn't mean that that didn't, did he, you know, he said that's what he did, but, you know,

guys say a lot of stuff.

But this is the accusation

is from a woman that Joe actually did that

and then some.

Yeah.

I know.

I mean, that's a real problem.

I know of zero Trump supporters who voted for Donald Trump that believe those allegations that he committed sexual assault.

You might have this idea that, oh, well, they're fooling themselves into believing Trump.

That's fine, but at least they're doing the work on that.

You know, Democrats at this point are like, yeah, you know, he's probably a rapist, but I don't really like Donald Trump.

So

I'm going to vote for the rapist.

And I think, like, there's.

With Donald Trump, it was, I don't, I don't like, I don't like the way he talks.

I don't like what he said.

But it's not the allegation that was believable

of what Joe Biden is being accused of.

There is a difference here.

There were allegations against Trump, as the left likes to point out in these moments.

But

look, you have to do your own work and try to believe what you believe.

I think the issue here as a candidate, as you get close to an election, is you can't have major reasons for people to not vote for you in this environment.

And the Democrats, they'll deny this all day, but the Democrats already have the idea in their head that Joe Biden doesn't seem capable of doing this job.

That is already there.

They don't think Donald Trump is capable either.

So they're able to hold on to their vote for Biden right now.

But if you start piling these things on top of each other, he's incompetent.

He may have actually sexually assaulted a woman and now is doing all the things that we said were terrible.

All this scrutiny about her character, all these questions about her claims, all of these things that are going on now that you have set the standard that we're not,

these things should not even be allowed in polite society as of two weeks ago.

And now you're having to justify and backtrack on all these things that you said.

People hate doing that.

And so they're trying to find their little pathway into continuing to be able to justify this vote for Biden.

And if you keep piling things like this this on top of each other, they're not going to be able to find it.

Yeah, well, they will find another reason.

Nobody wants to admit that the standard that they've been holding up that has destroyed people's lives is the wrong standard.

Nobody wants to be that wrong.

Only the real brave will.

So they will find another reason.

And it could just be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

I mean, if you look at, I have the eight accusers in front of me.

You have

Amy Cole helping run a reception for about 50 people in 2008.

Biden arrived.

She introduced, they introduced him to her.

He leaned in, squeezed her shoulders, and delivered a compliment about her smile, holding her for a beat too long.

Okay.

I think he's just kind of a creepy dude.

That's not assault.

Number seven, Amy Lapos, former congressional aide, Democratic political activist, claimed that during the 2009 political

fundraiser in Greenwich, he touched her inappropriately.

She said it wasn't sexual, but he grabbed me by the head.

He put his hand around my neck and pulled me in to rub noses with me.

When he was pulling me in, I thought he was going to kiss me on the mouth.

I never filed a complaint, to be honest, because it was the vice president and I'm a nobody.

Wow, is that a problem?

Caitlin Caruso said, four years ago, the age of 19,

survivor of sexual assault spoke at an event on sexual assault, University of Las Vegas, when Biden was attending.

After she shared her experience of sexual assault, Biden rested his hand on her thigh.

Even though

she squirmed in her seat to show her discomfort, he hugged her just a little too long.

It doesn't even really cross your mind that such a person would dare perpetrate harm like that, she said.

These are supposed to be the people that you can trust.

Okay, so again, just inappropriate and possibly just a creepy dude, but not sexual assault.

Also consistent with each other, right?

Like all these

are very consistent.

Yeah, and

all of the pictures, you know, of him sniffing hair and saying really creepy things to girls.

But that, again, is you have to make the decision.

Is that just an old man who this, because this is his excuse.

Look, I grew up in a different age, blah, blah, blah.

I'm sorry.

Even if I buy that, grandpa,

you know, you can't continue to do that.

You know, when

everybody had somebody in their

family growing up, I mean, depending on your age, if you're at least my age, you had somebody growing up that was, you know, older in the 60s and the 70s, and they were still like, you you know, talking about coloreds, you know, or whatever.

And,

you know, they may not have had any malice.

It's just the world they grew up in.

And at some point, you were like, grandpa, stop saying that.

You got to stop saying that.

You know, and this time, grandpa's going to be the president of the United States.

And we keep saying to him, hey, stop.

hugging people, rubbing noses with them, and saying really creepy things to girls.

He just won't stop.

That's the problem.

So then you have a former White House intern.

She said she was there in 2013.

She was trying to exit the basement of the West Wing when she was asked to step aside.

Biden approached her,

shook her hand, and introduced himself.

During the encounter, she said, Biden put his hand on the back of my head and pressed his forehead to my forehead and said, What a pretty girl.

Whew,

Grandpa,

stop.

Lucy Flores wrote an essay.

She was working for Biden in 2014, just before speeches.

We were ushered to the side of the stage where we were lined up for introduction.

I was taking deep breaths and preparing myself to make my case to the crowd.

I felt two hands on my shoulders.

I froze.

Why is the Vice President of the United States touching me?

I felt him get closer to me from behind.

He leaned further in and inhaled my hair.

I was mortified.

I thought to myself, I didn't even wash my hair today, and the vice president is smelling it.

And also, what in the actual F, why is he doing this?

She said.

My brain couldn't process what was happening.

I was embarrassed.

I was shocked.

I was confused.

Then you have the next accuser, Sophie.

Sophie was one of 50 sexual assault survivors.

She appeared on stage with Lady Gaga at the Oscars, blah, blah, blah.

When met

and heard about her, you know, her experiences.

He responded by clasping her hands and leaning down to place his forehead against hers.

The moment was photographed and went viral.

She said, He just crossed the boundary into my personal space at a very sensitive moment.

He emphasized that he wanted to connect with people, and of course, that's important.

But then again, all of our interactions and friendships are two-way street.

Too often, it doesn't matter how the woman feels.

Okay, so all of those are things that you could dismiss.

You could just say, okay, grandpa, stop it.

You could dismiss that.

But those things added on top of what Tara Reid said and some of the other accusers now that are coming out because there's a couple of other.

The 14-year-old girl whose, I think, mother said, no, it was the wrong year, maybe.

But remember, you.

Facts don't even matter.

They didn't even know where the house was or anything else

with

what's her name on Kavanaugh.

They had nothing.

They didn't know the date.

They didn't know the year.

This 14-year-old girl said she was really humiliated, in lockstep with the others.

Tara Reeds is the only one that steps out and is out of the norm to where it's an actual assault, and it's a bad description of an assault.

Now, the media won't tell you

both sides of this story.

They won't look at this honestly and say, okay, so who is Tara Reed?

What are the conditions that have to be met

to be credible?

Who's Joe Biden?

And was he there?

All of these things.

We've done our homework, and I can't give you an answer because I wasn't there, but I can give you both sides in an honest way so you can decide because nobody in the media is doing that.

And I said that as I pulled one off of the Rectech grill yesterday, and my wife kind of looked at me like, okay,

and I said, try one.

She said the same thing.

My daughter said the same thing.

Now, she's only got, you know, 14 years of experience on shrimp, but

unbelievable.

I haven't had anything that has been cooked in and on my RekTech grill that hasn't been unbelievable, unbelievable.

And I suck at grilling.

I've never smoked anything before in my life.

This is so easy.

And I'm telling you, it is delicious and the best grill on the market.

There is no comparison to a Rectec grill.

It is built out of heavy steel.

It is

10 seconds, station ID.

All right, so what was it, a week ago, we had Shelly Luther on.

She was this woman who opened her salon in Dallas, Texas

because she was about to lose her business.

She couldn't hold out any longer.

And her stylists, many of them were hurting.

Now, not all of them returned.

They were doing social distancing.

They were wearing masks, everything else.

But a judge in Dallas.

said no and issued a cease and desist and she was on television.

She said, no, I'm sorry.

I'm keeping my business open.

And she tore that cease and desist in half.

Well, that pissed the judge off.

We're going to play some audio for you from the court hearing yesterday.

She's in jail today for opening her business.

By the way, salons can open Monday, so she was about 10 days ahead.

She's in jail today.

And when you hear the judge, what an egomaniac and out of touch, in my opinion.

But

we have her attorney on to find out

what's in store now, what's happening, and to get his take on all of this.

We'd like to talk to her, but she's in jail.

What is happening to Texas?

Good heavens.

And if it's happening in Texas, I can't even imagine what your life is like in Michigan or Virginia or California.

I could go on New York.

Connecticut.

I mean, what is life like?

We have got to get back to some of our founding principles.

All right.

We return with that and an update on the meat situation in the country as well.

Shortage of meat.

The wrong players are being blamed for it.

We'll tell you about that coming up.

This is the Glenbeck program.

All right, I want to talk to you about Car Shield.

We're now living in times where you got to make everything

last.

You got to squeeze everything

and repair it and not buy new stuff.

We're not living in a disposable society right now because we can't afford it.

We got to be really prudent.

This is why car shields should

play such a very important part in your financial and even your work and family life right now.

You got to have your car so you can go to work.

It's got to be working.

You can't afford to fool around and if your car is out of warranty, have a $3,000 sensor go.

Do you have that money?

You need to be smart and frugal.

And the way to do that, I believe, is with Car Shield.

I have Car Shield on my older trucks that don't have a warranty anymore.

They're covered.

It has saved me so much money.

It'll do the same for you.

You can cobble together your own program for coverage.

Just get together with them now.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

We're glad you're here.

Thank you so much for listening.

I want to take you to a court in Dallas yesterday.

This is in the bizarre trial

of

a woman who just tried to open up her salon here in Dallas because she was about to lose her salon.

She couldn't keep it closed any longer.

And many of the stylists

were really having a hard time finding enough money to be able to feed their families.

So she opened it up last,

what was I say?

Sorry, I'm so distracted on something else.

She opened it up last week.

She got a cease and desist.

She tore the cease and desist up and said, I'm sorry,

I have a right to keep my shop open.

She went to trial, and

here's what the judge said to her yesterday.

Listen to this.

That you now see the error of your ways and understand

that the society cannot function where one's own belief in a concept of liberty permits you to flaunt your disdain for the rulings of duly elected officials.

That you owe an apology to the elected officials whom you

disrespected by flagrantly ignoring and in one case defiling their orders, which you now know obviously apply to you.

That you understand that the proper way in which in an ordered society to engage concerns which you may have have had is to hire a lawyer and advocate for change, an exception or an amendment to laws that you find offensive,

that you publicly state that this is the way that citizens in the state should behave,

and that you represent to this court that you will today cease operation of your salon.

and not reopen until after further orders

of the government permit you to do so.

this court will consider the payment of a fine in lieu of the incarceration which you've demonstrated that you have so clearly earned.

Is there anything that you would like to say?

So

that's what she had to do,

and she responded with this.

Judge, I would like to say that I have much respect for this court and laws

and that I've never been in this position before,

and it's not someplace that I want to be.

But

I have to disagree with you, sir, when you say that I'm selfish, because feeding my kids is not selfish.

I have hair stylists that are going hungry because they'd rather feed their kids.

So, sir, if you think the law is more important than kids getting fed,

then please go ahead with your decision, but I am not going to shut the salon.

Okay, stop.

So

he wanted an apology.

That's what he wanted.

And

she's sitting in jail now today.

Her attorney is with us, Warren Norred.

He is the attorney who was by her side yesterday.

First of all, how is she today?

Have you talked to her?

Not had a chance to talk to her.

We're in the process of setting that up, setting her account set up.

It takes a few minutes when somebody first goes to jail.

And

there's no bail, right?

No, there's no bail.

So

we have a remedy, and

the sole remedy is a writ of habeas corpus.

And so we're

in the process of writing that, and then we'll file an emergency motion to set bail before the Supreme Court.

And I hope to have that filed this afternoon.

So have you ever seen a judge say, apologize, or I'm sending you to jail?

I have never seen that.

You know, it reminds me of that you've got to bend the knee.

You know, this is about heresy.

This is not about the rule of law.

You have stood before this court and found guilty of disrespect.

Even though, and it's one thing is she was saying, no, I don't like you.

I don't think that you have any authority.

But that's not it.

This is somebody.

She's a humble woman.

She's had, you know, in situations like this, you see a lot of egos go crazy, but she's been great.

And she understands where she is, and she understands that she's at the tip of the spear.

You know, she represents hundreds of people that are in the same exact boat because politicians are passing laws by executive authority instead of the standard normal procedure that they're supposed to use.

So they're not following the rule of law, but she's supposed to.

Right.

And so because she didn't break a law, did she?

I mean,

these aren't laws that have been passed.

What did they convict her on?

This is a good question.

They say that she's breaking

what they're calling an ordinance, but it's the fourth amended emergency regulations that's passed by nobody, but simply uttered by the mayor of Dallas, which is, and he gets his authority, supposedly, by leaning on the county judge, Clay Jenkins, who gets his authority, supposedly, by leaning on the executive order of the governor.

So all of these people are passing up and down this nebulous authority.

When our Constitution, the state of Texas, says Article 4, Section 8, if you want to deal with disease threat, and it uses that clause, disease threat in the Constitution, you call a special session.

You make all the laws you want.

It does not say, what they're all doing is they're all going to the Disaster Act of 1975 that delegated a bunch of power in the case of emergency.

And

it's far, too far gone.

It's one thing if we had this going for just a few seconds or a few days, even a week or two.

But now we're two months into this, at some point, we have to go back to the rule of law for the government, not just for us.

Warren, I have to tell you, I don't know

what's happening to us as a nation.

And I think we are headed for real trouble because it's one thing to say, like you said, for a couple of weeks and then ask people, look, we recommend that you do this, and we just really need your cooperation.

And if they choose not to do it, it's their right.

But these people are being forced out of business.

She was only what?

Six days early, ten days early?

The salons open tomorrow.

And

is it true that the

go ahead?

Well, the problem is, or one of the issues is that the governor and all these people that are making these rules, they look at it from the perspective of, do you need a haircut?

Instead of looking at the perspective of, do people need money to live?

You know, the ag commissioner came out and had a letter that said everybody who's in the flow of the chain of distribution of food is essential.

Who's the last link on that chain?

The person eating the food.

So what about his job?

Shouldn't that job be just as essential?

They're all essential.

And the problem is that is that

the executives that are making these decisions are not thinking through what this really does to people.

And so you get these strange

incongruities.

A liquor store is essential.

A daycare,

where three-year-olds are eating each other's snot, that's essential.

And you can do all that,

but to say that a state-registered hairstylist has 1,500 hours, according to the state,

to learn how to handle

her clients hygienically, it's impossible.

No, we can't let that happen.

We have to put people in jail before we allow people to earn a living.

So that's the problem with law by executive order when you don't do things right over a period of time.

And

she was operating safely.

It wasn't a jam-packed salon.

In fact, all of the hairstylists did not return.

They were wearing masks, right?

Right.

The general rules, wearing masks.

Of course,

what's tragically ironic is that the cops that come in, they weren't wearing masks the first time.

She had to tell them, no, you got to put masks on.

They had to go back to their car and get the mask.

So, yeah, this is the rules are as I make them up as I go along, and then we're going to decide how to treat you if you don't bend the knee and follow our rules.

So

it's a natural consequence of not following the rules for the government that they cause laws that force other people to look like they're guilty.

Is it true that the governor called her just a few days ago and talked to her about

how to open salons or did he have any contact with her at all?

The governor has had agents, and I'm aware of this, that have talked to her, and there's been some interaction between all of those folks.

I don't think that she actually talked to the governor himself, but she did talk to the two agents of the governor.

And I know that the things that we've all talked about wound up being what the governor announced yesterday, which was by itself still disappointing.

I mean, what is the difference between today versus Friday?

The problem is the governor is not looking at what's really going on.

There are hundreds of salons and gyms all over the state, and a lot of them have called me, you know, that said, look, can you help me out?

Because I've got this code enforcement guy that's coming by and harassing me all the time.

And so those people are still left in the lurch for a while.

Even today, even with the newest order, you have 51%

restaurants and bars that could operate as a restaurant, but because they have the 51%, they're not allowed to operate as a restaurant.

So what happened there?

Well, people create an executive order.

They're doing the best they can.

They have a limited time and they're making mistakes.

And so all of the bar restaurants that could operate as restaurants can't operate, even though all the other normal restaurants can.

So you get these incongruities because you're not passing laws.

If you want to pass laws, you call a special session or you just stop doing that.

The governor could also just say, look, everybody operates at 25%.

Everybody operates at 25%.

Because

is every daycare essential?

Is every Home Depot essential?

All of these jobs,

we need access to all these organizations.

But if you had simply said, look, everybody, look at your certificate of occupancy and whatever it says, take that number to 25% of it.

That way you don't have to worry about your impact on churches because churches are impacted because that's rational and you're not setting them apart.

That way all the essential businesses are impacted.

That way everybody can earn a living or at least make some attempt to hold on.

But this picking and choosing where Condom Sense, for example, is allowed to operate because they put medical devices underneath their sign.

I kid you not.

Oh my gosh.

I can see that.

Oh my gosh.

Right, that's a fact.

Okay, so liquor stores, full board, do what you want.

So it turns into a class snobbery.

The vape shops, well, sorry, even though you're a consumer electronics, you don't get to operate.

So you get this vague notions of, hmm, it seems like the businesses I like, liquor stores, because they sell my wine, they get to operate.

But do you see liquor stores on the president's list or on the governor's list?

No, that's just something everybody's just decided.

We like liquor stores.

And so, you know, there's no rhyme or reason for it.

So, Warren, where is this going to go?

I mean, I think we are headed for litigation against and investigations as well.

I mean, our Attorney General has already said it.

He's looking into all of these cases.

Where is this going?

It's going to depend.

What I want everybody to do is to remember this day and the anger that we feel this day when it comes time to vote in November.

We all get so agitated, and you get the keyboard warriors there, man, they are pounding out amazing

pieces.

But when it comes time for ordinary people just to do something as simple as go vote in the November elections, in the city council elections that everybody is sleepy about, 10 percent turnout.

These people have so much control over our lives that and we just go back to sleep.

So people have to remember these times and remember remember that far as this is concerned We're going to file our our our application for rid of habeas corpus and we're going to try to get Shelly out of there as soon as possible Because you know, she's a rock star.

She's a real hero.

I mean, it's people call all the time.

It's a principal of the thing.

And then you say, well, you know, I don't know how this is going to go.

You may have to go to jail.

And well, I don't go to jail.

And that's the end of it.

And so I told her, look, you could go to jail if this goes awry.

And she said, I have to do this.

We've got to get going.

She has one salonist, stylist, that came in from Midland

because she was starving in Midland, but she saw that Shelley was operating.

So she called Shelley and she came up, and she was one of the chairs

because they were all brave.

You've got to show up.

You're risking

getting a ticket.

I know another salon that called me.

Four of their people got sighted.

So these are all unsophisticated people.

They don't know what's going to happen to them.

They could be put in jail for six months.

And of course, that's what this is all about, is just setting the stage and setting an example, making an example out of Shelley Luther so that everybody understands.

If you stand up and say, no, your rule of law is not your rule of law.

It's not really even an ordinance.

You are enforcing a bunch of nebulous things.

So, yeah, you got to stand up.

It's astounding what is happening because, as you say, it is not law.

Warren, thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

And Godspeed.

Let us know how we can help.

All right, I want to talk to you about our sponsor, Tocovis.

These are the best Western booths.

i mean they're just really really great started by a couple of guys here in texas who are like why why why are boots so expensive well they're handmade they're you know the best exotic leathers blah blah blah yeah yeah yeah but why are they so expensive well one of the reasons is because there was a middleman you had to have everybody had to have their you know their take so they decided at tocovis that They could do some things without cutting any corners and mainly by cutting out the middleman and going directly to you.

and you could save a buttload of money on a great pair of boots.

These are half the cost of any boot in its class, half the cost.

And I mean, we're wearing them out at the ranch or we're, you know, stepping in cow pies, and yet they're going to last forever.

They're great.

You could also dress them up and, you know, wear them with a suit.

They are great.
