This is going to come as a shocker. The media is biased.
What? Yes, biased. In what way?
Speaker 2 Wait, wait until you hear what they're doing with the charges of sexual assault from Joe Biden on a woman named Tara Reed. I think they all believe the women.
Speaker 2 Uh-huh.
Speaker 2
It's not just about the media bias. Now, Google is involved.
Will anyone stop this strain
Speaker 2 in one minute?
Speaker 4 This is the Glembeck program.
Speaker 2 Let me tell you about American financing.
Speaker 2 American Financing is the place I highly recommend that you go if you are looking to buy a new house and you need financing, if you're going to consolidate a loan,
Speaker 2 or
Speaker 2 you just want to refi
Speaker 2 right now loans are getting harder to get
Speaker 2 they've already no bank is taking any jumbo mortgage they just don't want to even hear it even if you have a 700 on your credit rating they don't care
Speaker 2 this is going to trickle down now to people who are like you it's going to get harder and harder and if you don't have perfect credit uh it's going to be impossible soon now is the time to refi.
Speaker 2
Now is the time to get that loan that you've needed to get. Or now, especially if you can consolidate, get all that high-interest credit card debt off of your plate.
Do it now.
Speaker 2 The people that I trust, they're not banks. These are the people that lasted in 08 and nobody lost their homes in 08 because they don't make stupid deals.
Speaker 2
They find the best rock-solid answer for you and your future. Call American Financing Now at 800-906-2440, American Financing.net.

Speaker 2 Well, there's a new piece of evidence that has emerged now buttressing the credibility of Tara Reed's claim that she told her mother about allegations of sexual harassment and assault related to her former former boss, Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 Joe Biden, through a spokesperson, has denied the allegations, but we'll get into that here in a second. Now, Reed mentioned that her mother had made a phone call to Larry King Live
Speaker 2 years ago on CNN,
Speaker 2 during which she made reference to her daughter's experience on Capitol Hill.
Speaker 2 Tara said, I remember it being an anonymous call saying that my daughter was sexually harassed and retaliated against and fired. Where could she go from help?
Speaker 2 I was mortified that my mother did that, Reed told me. This is according to the intercept.
Speaker 2
The program, she didn't remember a date, she didn't remember anything. The intercept went and tried to look for it, and they couldn't find it.
But once you publish something like this,
Speaker 2 There is always somebody who has more time than you or less time than you.
Speaker 2 no, more time than you, it's a
Speaker 2 reader of The Intercept went out and just started watching all the old Larry King shows. And they found one.
Speaker 2 And you could watch them, you know, just, you know, on YouTube. And here's what they found.
Speaker 5 We're back. Couple more phone calls on this very important topic.
Speaker 5 Our guests are former United States Senator Howard Baker, Richard Allen, former National Security Advisor, and Lois Romano of the Washington Post. San Luis Obispo, California.
Speaker 2 Hello.
Speaker 4 Yes, hello.
Speaker 4 I'm wondering what
Speaker 4 a staffer would do besides go to the press in Washington. My daughter has just left there after working for a prominent senator and could not get through with her problems at all.
Speaker 4 And the only thing she could have done was go to the press, and she chose not to do it out of respect for him.
Speaker 5 Or she had a story to tell, but out of respect for the person she worked for, she didn't tell it.
Speaker 4 That's true.
Speaker 2
Okay, wow. So Tara Reed was asked about this, and she said, I think that's my mom, but I haven't heard her voice in a long time, so I can't be sure.
But it fits everything,
Speaker 2 including this little tidbit.
Speaker 2 That particular episode, Google has removed. You can now find the episode before it and the episode after,
Speaker 2 but the episode August 11th, 1993 has suddenly vanished.
Speaker 2 So not only is the press not asking any questions, now Google is altering history.
Speaker 2 This is so incredibly dangerous.
Speaker 2 Now, if you didn't hear the accusation,
Speaker 2 we have the Tara Reed audio.
Speaker 3 We don't have it handy at the
Speaker 2 minute.
Speaker 3 But this is, you know, because she had made, she had initially made accusations of basically, I want to say hair sniffing, right? Like that, that initial
Speaker 2 and gentle fondling.
Speaker 3
Right. Remember this from when there were like seven women that came out and made these initial allegations.
She was among that group.
Speaker 3 She later made these much more serious or, you know, much more, you know, I mean, really an assault.
Speaker 2 It's graphic. And
Speaker 2 it is an assault.
Speaker 2 Anybody who is covering this,
Speaker 2 and there's very few, some
Speaker 2 who are sympathetic to Joe Biden are just saying that it was fondling, which is bad enough, by the way, but it is not. If you listen to what she said, it is not.
Speaker 3 The new allegation is legitimate, absolute sexual assault.
Speaker 3 And
Speaker 3 you look at what's fascinating about this is,
Speaker 3 as you point out, Glenn, readers of the intercept are the ones digging these videos up, not CNN, who, you know, it was on their network. They have the archives.
Speaker 3 They hadn't even talked about this. And when they finally did have to write a story about this particular allegation, you know,
Speaker 3 especially given the fact it was on their network, it occurred on CNN,
Speaker 3 they led it with, you know, Biden's accuser did blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I thought to myself, if you read CNN for your news, he's accused of what?
Speaker 3 How would you even know what he was accused of?
Speaker 2 You haven't covered it at all.
Speaker 3 So it is amazing to watch them flail around and ignore this when this, just this piece of evidence from Larry King is an infinite amount of more evidence than they had on Brett Kavanaugh at any point.
Speaker 2 You know, this is
Speaker 3 this is actually, we know that here, and I had heard differently about her mom's comments and that I, her mom's voice and that she said that was my mom's voice. So that is what I had read earlier.
Speaker 3 I'm not exactly sure if she had read it.
Speaker 2 Maybe mine was earlier than what you read.
Speaker 3 Yeah, but either way, I mean, you know, this is a serious, serious thing with, as we learned during the whole,
Speaker 7 you know, FBI, James Covey
Speaker 3 thing,
Speaker 2 that whole issue.
Speaker 3 It was contemporaneous notes that were important, right? Just the fact that he wrote down notes at the time of this incident proved it.
Speaker 3 Here is a call from the mom, a concerned mom, trying to figure out what happened.
Speaker 2 In 93.
Speaker 3 In 93, you know, right around, like, it is the amount, this, if this happened with
Speaker 3 another Republican type, this would be the only thing they'd be talking about for months, and they won't even discuss it at this point. It's embarrassing.
Speaker 2 Well, let me just go through. Let me just show you the duplicity here.
Speaker 2 September 16th, 2018, within minutes of the Washington Post story outlining Blasey Ford's claim that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a high school party more than three decades earlier, the New York Times immediately published a story stating that Kavanaugh's nomination was in turmoil.
Speaker 2 CNN reported the news immediately with an article and then another one likening it to Anita Hill, then another one describing the White House as mounting an intense effort to squash the accusation.
Speaker 2 Then CNN did another one, describing a senator's assessment of how Kavanaugh's nomination would go forward.
Speaker 2 And then finally another one, all in the same day, describing how Democrats would push for a delay in Kavanaugh's confirmation vote.
Speaker 2 Then,
Speaker 2
March 25th, 2020, this is the day this story broke. It happened all at once, and then his hands were on me, underneath my clothes.
He said, come on, man, I heard you like me.
Speaker 2 For me, it was like everything shattered.
Speaker 2
I wanted to be a senator. I didn't want to sleep with one, she said.
She told her brother, as well as her mother and a friend, about the incident at a time.
Speaker 2 Meanwhile, as that story broke, CNN wondered, why is Bernie Sanders still running for president? That's the story they ran with.
Speaker 2 The New York Times published a story that day explaining that Biden was growing impatient with the idea of more debates with Bernie Sanders.
Speaker 2
Let's see. You go back to Kavanaugh.
This is September 17th, so this is day two.
Speaker 2 Chuck Schumer calls for an FBI background investigation into claims against Kavanaugh.
Speaker 2 We need the FBI to step forward to ensure that the Senate and American public have complete information about this troubling alleged incident before the hearing is held.
Speaker 2 CNN calls the Ford accusation a watershed moment for the GOP. The Huffington Post ran a story quoting Biden saying, Women's claims of sexual assault should be presumed to be true.
Speaker 2 For a woman to come forward in the glaring lights of focus nationally, you've got to start out with the presumption that at least the essence of what she's talking about is real, whether or not she forgets facts, whether or not it's been made worse or better over time.
Speaker 2 But nobody fails to understand that this is like jumping into a cauldron.
Speaker 2 Day two
Speaker 2 of the Terra Reed
Speaker 2 incident, Jimmy Kimmel interviewed Biden and they talked about where's Waldo.
Speaker 2 Schumer spoke on the Senate floor touting the new Green Deal,
Speaker 2 saying that
Speaker 2 Republicans refuse to admit that climate change is real.
Speaker 2
And CNN teased an upcoming CNN town hall with Joe Biden. The Reed accusations are not discussed on air in the network's preview coverage.
I should just point out, they were never addressed.
Speaker 2 This goes on day after day. You compare what? Day one, day two, day three, day 15.
Speaker 2 They are complete opposites.
Speaker 2
I knew about the Kavanaugh stuff, and I found out about it from conservative media. I knew about what her accusations were.
I knew all of it from conservative media.
Speaker 2 This is the one thing that we tend to forget.
Speaker 2 Our friends and neighbors who don't watch Fox News, don't listen to talk radio, they actually
Speaker 2
are very ignorant, not self-imposed ignorance. They are very ignorant of many stories.
And that's because they get filtered news. It's why I always say, read the other side.
Read the New York Times.
Speaker 2
Watch CNN, although it's intolerable. Don't watch CNN.
You can't watch CNN.
Speaker 2
But read the Huffington Post. You should at least know what people are talking about on the other side.
And we found this out to be true with friends who are liberal after Barack Obama left office.
Speaker 2 We went through with, remember Riaz Patal, we went through a chalkboard of all the different stories. that he had said, where was his corruption?
Speaker 2
And we put all those stories down and story after story he said, I didn't know that. I never heard that story.
I didn't know that happened. And they were all verifiable stories, but he had no idea.
Speaker 2
And he was being really honest. He's a very smart guy.
He's in the media and he was being honest. I never heard that because he never listens to talk radio.
He doesn't read conservative.
Speaker 2 He didn't at the time read conservative websites.
Speaker 2
And he didn't watch Fox News. So of course he doesn't know anything bad about Barack Obama.
Of course you're not going to know anything about Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 That's why this is so dangerous. Not only because half of the country doesn't understand.
Speaker 2 Look, you may disagree with the points on Fox News or you may disagree with the points on CNN, but you should at least know what the other side is claiming. And then use your head,
Speaker 2 especially now when they've been proven to be wrong about so much. On the other side, the stakes have just gotten worse because the internet is forever unless Google decides it's not.
Speaker 2 When Google decides to alter its algorithms or to edit an archive,
Speaker 2 anything can happen
Speaker 2 or
Speaker 2 anything didn't happen, if you catch my meaning.
Speaker 2 Nancy Pelosi came out, and I'm going to talk about this probably next hour if we have time. Nancy Pelosi came out this weekend and said,
Speaker 2 Donald Trump's ban in China did not go far enough. Now, this is the same woman who called him a racist and a xenophobe the minute he put the ban on Chinese travel.
Speaker 2 Then she came out a couple of days later and said, we're going for sanctions on this president. His xenophobia and his racism has got to stop.
Speaker 2 The only reason she can now make the claim that he didn't go far enough is because she knows the mainstream media will never go, um, excuse me, you said this.
Speaker 2 And if the public doesn't know history, I mean recent history, if it doesn't understand what just happened because nobody made a big deal out of it,
Speaker 2 they they cannot be held responsible for what they're doing.
Speaker 2 Now, in this particular time and place, every American has to be held responsible because if you don't get it yet, you never will.
Speaker 2 You are just an irresponsible human being.
Speaker 2 If you aren't at least concerned about the way media handles the news
Speaker 2 and more than just Fox News, bad, CNN, good,
Speaker 2 you're irresponsible an American.
Speaker 2 That's self-imposed ignorance. And that you are completely and 100% totally responsible for in the end.
Speaker 2 No excuses when the news is at your fingertips.
Speaker 2 All right, let me talk to you about Relief Factor. Holy cow.
Speaker 2
I worked this weekend like nobody's business. I don't think I would be able to move today had I not been on Relief Factor.
I went out, we painted three barns,
Speaker 2 we did work on them. We were cutting trees down and chopping wood and
Speaker 2 grinding stumps. I mean, it was a never-ending weekend of everything that makes my condition flare.
Speaker 2
No problem. I mean, I was sore afterwards, but I would expect to be sore afterwards.
No problems. Why? Relief Factor.
Relief Factor has
Speaker 2
worked miracles in my life. Really, truly miracles.
I don't think, I mean, Stu used to see, they would, I mean, there were times that they would carry me off of a plane because
Speaker 2
I couldn't move. I couldn't function.
Bad, really, really bad. Not now.
And it's all due to Relief Factor, and I can't thank them enough. You want to get out of pain? Try it.

Speaker 2 Well, frustrated parents are now giving up on homeschooling.
Speaker 2 You got to love that one. Oh, you know, not everybody is made to homeschool.
Speaker 2 In fact, I think most people are not made to homeschool.
Speaker 3 My wife has been making, advocating for this case of just call it a year.
Speaker 2 We got
Speaker 2 it's crazy. What we do.
Speaker 2 Amen.
Speaker 3 And it's an amen. It's an interesting case because it's like, all right, like, let's be honest about it.
Speaker 3
Like, yeah, I'm sure they're learning some stuff and it's good for them to have some activities to do. I understand that.
But like, you add an extra month to their summer vacation.
Speaker 3 Maybe if everything's going well, you bring them back a few weeks early and have them do a little catch up.
Speaker 3 Generally speaking, what's the point of trying to force this through as we hit May?
Speaker 2 It would be so much better to release them now and then bring them back a month early. Yeah.
Speaker 3 And, you know, if it all, you know, I mean,
Speaker 2 this is nuts.
Speaker 3 Because you're not only, you know, a lot of people are forgetting this, but it's like a lot of parents are, yes, they're home because of the shutdown and such, but they're still working full-time jobs.
Speaker 3 So you're trying to get them to do homeschooling and full-time jobs.
Speaker 3 And a lot of these restrictions that the teachers are having, it's like, well, you have to have these assignments in at this time of day.
Speaker 3 And
Speaker 9 that time of day might be completely implausible for
Speaker 3 the parent who has a young kid who can't handle getting through all the technology and printing all their assignments themselves.
Speaker 3 Like you're adding another full-time job in the middle of a full-time job.
Speaker 6 And that's not easy.
Speaker 2 So if it hadn't been that I had four children, I wouldn't have laughed at this, but I've had all of my children do this. My daughter came by and she said,
Speaker 2
your granddaughter. Wait a minute.
When did she become my granddaughter?
Speaker 2
She's your daughter. Anyway, your granddaughter.
You won't believe what she did. What? We've been trying to work on words and sounding out words.
And she said, so we had U-C-K,
Speaker 2 uck.
Speaker 2
And we had to put different, I know, that's what I thought earlier. I thought it was going.
It wasn't. And she said, so I put S-T in front of it and said, sounded out.
S, t, uk, s, t, uk.
Speaker 2 Now keep saying it faster. And what does that word say?
Speaker 2 Mud.
Speaker 2 No, it doesn't. Really, it's not even close to mud.
Speaker 2
And she said, she just kept saying other words and would, they had no relation at all. And she came over and she's like, I'm going to kill them.
I'm going to, not her. I'm going to kill the teachers.
Speaker 2 They've got to take them back.
Speaker 2 They've got to take them back. And
Speaker 2
to me, I understood that 100% because I'd be like, no, it says stuck. Got it stuck.
That says stuck. Let's move on.
Speaker 3 I know my wife at one point was like, they had to memorize something. And she's like, I'm just going to write it on a whiteboard and just let them read it on camera.
Speaker 10 It's like, well, no, that's not the point of the assignment.
Speaker 2 At one point, she's like, there's a reading assignment.
Speaker 3 She's like, I'm just going to have Alexa read it to them.
Speaker 10 Wait, that's not, they're supposed to be learning to read here.
Speaker 2 You You can't have Alexa read it to them.
Speaker 2
She's like... I never thought of that.
Hey, Alexa, teach my children.
Speaker 3 Nope, didn't do it. Got the silent treatment.
Speaker 2 I got silent treatment. To Glenn back.
Speaker 2 All right.
Speaker 3

Actually, last year I got my mom a package from Shamini, and she brings it up.
Speaker 3 It's, you know, skincare stuff, and she brings it up all the time. I'm getting the hint that maybe this is another thing she might want this year,
Speaker 3 and this is a great time to do it. You know, it's gonna be a different Mother's Day this year, probably gonna be separate from your mom.

Speaker 2 we tell history through artifacts. There's a couple of seasons, I think, on that on Blaze TV.
Speaker 2 Okay.
Speaker 2 Welcome to Pat Gray. Hello, Pat.
Speaker 9 Hello, Glenn.
Speaker 11 Speaking of homeschooling, I heard you tell on the story about your granddaughter, that when she was clearly being presented with the word stuck and kept saying mud. I hope you've had her checked.
Speaker 11 You've had her checked, haven't you?
Speaker 2
I really. Why do you think something's wrong? Yes, I think something's very wrong.
I mean, if you can't. Don't say that if you're joking.
Speaker 11 If you can't get stuck out of stuck and you keep going to mud, come on now.
Speaker 2 Come on.
Speaker 2 Let's get you some help.
Speaker 2 What is she for now?
Speaker 7 Is she four?
Speaker 9 Five?
Speaker 2 How old is this person?
Speaker 2 Twelve.
Speaker 2 18.
Speaker 2 Oh, that's Jeffy. 18.
Speaker 2 So
Speaker 2
the experts are now coming out and saying that, and I want to quote this because they're from experts. Okay.
They've done some research and they worry that quarantine fatigue is starting. Yes.
Speaker 2 Okay.
Speaker 2 They're on top of it.
Speaker 2 They say that we are starting to have quarantine fatigue, and
Speaker 2 we saw something that we hoped wasn't happening, but it's there. It seems
Speaker 2 actively we're getting a little tired of quarantine, and it looks like people are starting to loosen up on their own travel more.
Speaker 2
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
That's going to happen.
Speaker 2 It is happening.
Speaker 9 It is absolutely.
Speaker 9 Yeah, we had a
Speaker 11 over the weekend, I was out
Speaker 11 running some errands, and there had to be triple the traffic that there has been the last six weeks.
Speaker 3 Yeah, it does seem like it's picking up.
Speaker 11 There was a ton, and I went to the grocery store, and it was full of people, and most of them didn't have masks on or gloves.
Speaker 2 And so I think people are, yeah, they're tired of it, and they're just going about their lives now.
Speaker 2
Well, the good news is we can get a little more draconian about things. You know? Yeah, we could.
By the way, you know, in
Speaker 2 Wisconsin, you know that they saw
Speaker 2 no uptick in cases because of voting.
Speaker 2
Remember when they all went out and they all voted and we were like, that's crazy. Not a single uptick from it.
Nothing.
Speaker 9 Although they did have everyone.
Speaker 3 You saw the pictures. I mean, they weren't standing anywhere near each other.
Speaker 2 Social distancing. Yeah, right.
Speaker 2
But we can do that. We can have everybody.
Everybody was standing.
Speaker 2 Right? Yeah, everybody was standing apart from each other.
Speaker 2 I mean, nobody got close to one another when you were even talking you know somebody was that you know i was talking to my son-in-law and somebody else said hey you know what you really need to do but he was six or eight feet away uh and i didn't walk up to him and he didn't walk closer to me and he showed me something in his in his cart and he was like look this is i'm doing this blah blah blah blah blah We stayed our distance.
Speaker 2 People are doing that.
Speaker 11 Yeah, they're smart enough. And we're not stupid.
Speaker 2 Right.
Speaker 2 Here's,
Speaker 2
I don't know if you saw what happened in Laredo, Texas. Two women were arrested this weekend.
They were caught running a beauty salon inside of their homes. Now listen to this.
Speaker 2 Officers from the Laredo, Texas Police Department were informed of activities through an anonymous tip sent to their tipster line.
Speaker 2 The tipster informed police that the women were running a salon service and advertising on social media.
Speaker 2 So the police went on an undercover sting operation and arrested the women for offering beauty services from their home.
Speaker 2 They were taken to jail for booking and were held on a $500 bond for violating emergency management plan C and emergency management plan B.
Speaker 2 You've got to be kidding me.
Speaker 11 It's not America.
Speaker 2 That's just
Speaker 2 not.
Speaker 11 That's not America.
Speaker 2 That's so ridiculous. That's not America.
Speaker 11 And you see examples of that all over the country. And
Speaker 11
that has to stop. That just has to stop.
At what point do police stop enforcing
Speaker 11 edicts from mayors that are unconstitutional?
Speaker 9 I hope at this point,
Speaker 8 stop it.
Speaker 2 Well, we'll see. We have a lady who's running a salon here in Dallas, Texas, and that's a progressive city now.
Speaker 2 And
Speaker 2
they've already received citations from the city. And she's like, I'm not closing.
I am not closing back down. I've had enough of this.
You want to get your hair done at the beauty salon?
Speaker 2
Come on here. And we have her on in about an hour or so.
And I think she's going to be,
Speaker 2 I don't know. I mean, is she going to go to jail? Are they going to arrest her? You know, that pastor that was given an ankle bracelet for, you know, defying his stay-at-home order?
Speaker 2
This is in Baton Rouge. He was given an ankle bracelet.
He doesn't care. He's still walking around.
They're like, you're not supposed to be walking around. Yep.
Well, track me. I'm walking here.
Speaker 11 And there's a restaurateur in Houston who just opened up, too.
Speaker 2 And he said, look, I'm not trying to be defiant here. I'm not trying to be a rebel here, but my employees are really hurting.
Speaker 12 And
Speaker 9 we need to open up.
Speaker 11
So that's what we're doing. We're opening up.
We're doing social distancing. I put all the tables six feet from each other.
You can pay at your table. You don't have to touch anything or anyone.
Speaker 11 He said, I'm doing this as safely as is humanly possible. And they're threatening to arrest him, too.
Speaker 2
That's crazy. That is crazy.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 Stu, you were out in a neighboring town this weekend that actually was one of the first cities to fully open up.
Speaker 3
Yeah, I saw people eating. At a restaurant.
No, you didn't. Called 911 immediately.
Speaker 2 Oh, good.
Speaker 3
Got them all. They're all in prison now.
But I mean, if they were out there on a patio, because this town opened this up for patio dining. So if you have outdoor dining, you can open it up.
Speaker 3
And, you know, of course, it's basically the only town with restaurants open within a hundred-mile radius. So they were very crowded.
They did very well.
Speaker 11 People were coming from like over an hour away across town
Speaker 11 just to eat there.
Speaker 3 We thought about going, you know, going there and eating as well. And
Speaker 3
I honestly just stopped because it seemed like it would be annoying. It had nothing to do with the virus.
It was just like,
Speaker 3 do I really want to wait this long to sit at an outdoor table when I can just get the stuff delivery and sit on my own outdoor table? So I didn't actually do it, but I did drive by.
Speaker 2
Is anybody else kind of like, man, I kind of miss this? I'll miss this. I mean, I don't want to be told not to go out, but I kind of like.
Keep your distance. Don't talk to me.
Speaker 2 Get away.
Speaker 2 Kind of, yeah.
Speaker 2
More than kind of. I mean, I kind of, I kind of like, oh, yeah, we got to go.
We got to go over to somebody's house. No, we don't.
We don't. No.
Speaker 2 We can hang on to some of this, I think, later on after this all in. I think we still hang on to parts.
Speaker 2 Yes, we do. I think we need to.
Speaker 3
I did a t-shirt for Stew Does America. We have this, you know, Stew Does Merch is where all the merchandise is.
And one of the t-shirts is just,
Speaker 3 sorry, can't make it self-quarantined. And that's applying for after.
Speaker 7 It has nothing to do with now when everyone's quarantined.
Speaker 3
I mean, afterwards, I'm just going to fake quarantine. I don't know.
I might be sick. Every time I get invited to a party, I'm just going to be like, oh,
Speaker 2 I'm sorry.
Speaker 2
You don't even have to do that. I believe the government's lying to us.
It's worse than they say it is. And I'm still quarantining.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 I will say this, though.
Speaker 11 I'm not afraid anymore because at the suggestion of the president, I had a Clorox IV drip all weekend long.
Speaker 11 And then I jammed a UV light up my rectum.
Speaker 7 And it's, I mean, I'm safe, I think, now.
Speaker 2
I'm completely safe. So you have no, what are they calling it, anal seepage? This is in no pools activity because of anal seepage.
And I'm like,
Speaker 2 I don't want to even think about that. No, no, no, I don't.
Speaker 2
So, you don't have enough chlorine in your pool if you worried about that. Okay.
Add a little more chlorine.
Speaker 2 One last story here. In Connecticut, the police department has scrapped their pandemic drone program.
Speaker 2 This is in Westport, Connecticut.
Speaker 2 The hardest hit county in Fairfield has abandoned its use of high-tech drones that can detect symptoms of coronavirus infection from up to 190 feet away. Wow.
Speaker 2 People were like, uh, no, I don't think I feel comfortable with your drones in the sky.
Speaker 2 This is what's supposed to happen in America, and I can't believe that it's happening in Westport, Connecticut of all places.
Speaker 2 But thank you, Westport, Connecticut, for standing up and saying enough is enough.

Speaker 2 yeah those are all those are changing so i saw somebody on instagram uh do the mona lisa with a mask on and i'm like ah
Speaker 2 stole my idea but you steal from me you've stolen twice so uh
Speaker 2 there you go um
Speaker 2 uh anyway yeah i love these i mean the lincoln you can barely see because it's so far behind me it's a little fuzzy but it's getting better it's getting better uh lincoln in a mask uh we have a churchill in a mask.
Speaker 2 I'm going to do a Mao in a mask, which I think is very nice. You know, those are just for people in Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 Maybe make them into campaign buttons for Whitmer.
Speaker 3 That's Michigan, right?
Speaker 2 Oh, Michigan, yeah, Michigan, yeah.
Speaker 3
Sorry, yeah. Yeah, no, that's an interesting thing.
It's been weird to watch this stuff. I mean,
Speaker 3 the voting thing you bring up is interesting, and it kind of ties into what we're seeing in Sweden right now, which is that, like,
Speaker 3 if you do all of these things and don't get them required by the government,
Speaker 3 you know, is it like I agree with that in theory, right? Like,
Speaker 3
completely, right? Like, you should not, I like what Trump has done. He's been given recommendations, and people have generally followed them.
And I think that's a good vibe between
Speaker 3 the government and citizens. It's these states that I think have gone off the crazy train here.
Speaker 3 But, I mean, it's also part of this affects the debate between the sort of open it up side and the close it down side in that, like, for example, Sweden kept open their movie theaters through this.
Speaker 3 That was one of the, you know, they've had a lot more openings and people have talked about them as a potential option. But their box office receipts are down 98%.
Speaker 3 So
Speaker 3 sure, they kept them open, but what does that mean exactly?
Speaker 2 You know, nothing.
Speaker 3 This didn't really affect their, they're due for almost as big a hit financially and with their economy as we are. And, you know, and they've kept them open.
Speaker 3 It's nice to have those options, but if people aren't using them anyway, it's not going to the result of the situation.
Speaker 2 The government's then not involved.
Speaker 2 Government's not responsible for it. And I'm telling you now, no one in America is going to open up big stores until the governments and insurance says we will not sue the employers
Speaker 2 for
Speaker 2 anything that goes wrong.
Speaker 3 Well, they think that's going to be part of the next funding package. Did you notice the Glenn?
Speaker 2 They better be because nobody's going to open.
Speaker 3 First of all, let's acknowledge there's going to be another funding package, which is incredible. This last one.
Speaker 2
Wait, wait, wait. You mean...
No,
Speaker 2
you don't mean the one that starts today. No, I mean the next one.
Another one?
Speaker 3
Yeah, the next one. The next one.
This one, you know how they were doing phase one, phase two, phase three? This one they had the balls to call phase 3.5. They're not even like acknowledging now.
Speaker 3 They won't even go to four because they want to make it look like they're doing less of these programs. This one was just phase 3.5.
Speaker 3 But in phase four, what they believe is going to happen is they're going to pass a law that exempts businesses from
Speaker 3 lawsuits if
Speaker 3 someone comes in and gets COVID-19 in your business.
Speaker 3
Right. Which I think is a sensible thing here.
I mean,
Speaker 3 maybe there's some level of just irrational behavior that could still be a major problem, but you can't hold a business owner responsible if someone else is in there and gets it.
Speaker 2
Well, no, you can't. Yeah, you can't.
You mean employees too, not just somebody coming in.
Speaker 2
The problem is going to be, like, for instance, meat packing. You are elbow to elbow.
You're elbow to elbow. They're going to try the way you have to work.
Speaker 3 Yeah, they're talking about trying to change the way that that's going to happen, but retrofitting a change. All these factories are going to be.
Speaker 2 No, that's not going to happen. It's not going to happen, at least not in the short term.
Speaker 2 And speaking of those kinds of factories, those meat processing plants, we are headed for real meat shortages, something I told you about a few weeks ago.
Speaker 2 They're coming to a supermarket near you all over the world.
Speaker 2 There's some other things that I want you to pay attention to in the news because there's other real ramifications that people will panic or freak out by if they don't know in advance.
Speaker 2 So, we will tell you what I see coming over the horizon next. You're listening to Glenn Beck.
Speaker 3
Thank you, Hillary. Spotlight sponsor is Home Title Lock.
You know, everyone's you've seen these stories where people are hacking into Zoom calls and Zoom meetings and doing offensive things.

Speaker 3 You're not getting anything out of hacking into someone's Zoom meeting except entertaining yourself, possibly.
Speaker 3
The other side of this is home title fraud, where hackers do have plenty to do. In fact, they can get access to your home's title.
They can transfer to their name. They can transfer to some entity.

Speaker 2
Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenbeck program.
Back in January, I told you that what you needed to worry about was not the coronavirus and the death numbers. I didn't think that it would be deadly.
Speaker 2 I said that I worried more about the depression, the economic depression that would would come
Speaker 2
our way because of it. Well, that has turned out to be rather true.
Now I want to look over the horizon again and tell you what you need to prepare for. What comes next?
Speaker 2 We do that beginning in one minute. This is the Glenbeck program.
Speaker 2 So housing is going to have to resume. Getting a new house, moving, all of that's going to resume right now.
Speaker 2 About 50% of the housing inventory has been taken off the market, which if you want to sell your house will mean good things for you. But you have to be prepared.
Speaker 2 You have to have the right real estate agent because things are going to get more and more dicey as we go.
Speaker 2 I urge you, if you're thinking about selling your house in the next two years, sell it right now.
Speaker 2 I can't urge you strongly enough on that. It's going to be tough for loans, and it's going to get even tougher.
Speaker 2 And I think property values are going to drop through the floor in the coming year or so. So please
Speaker 2
get the right real estate agent, get your house ready, and get ready to sell it. Realestateagents I trust.com.
It's the name that says it all.
Speaker 2
You go there and you find a real estate agent that you can trust. Do the right thing.
Work hard.
Speaker 2 Make sure that you're not on just another number on a list, but they actually care and they will do the things that they say they are going to do and get your house sold on time and for the most amount of money possible.
Speaker 2
It's realestate agentsitrust.com. Whether you're buying or selling, it's a free service to you.
Realestateagentsitrust.com.
Speaker 2 All right, I told you maybe three weeks ago, the first week that we all kind of stayed home to prepare, maybe plant a garden and to stock up on some extra meat if you're meat eaters, because we were going to have a shortage of food and meat.
Speaker 2 Now,
Speaker 2 yesterday in the New York Times, they're finally figuring this out. Tyson Foods in the New York Times yesterday, the chairman of Tyson's,
Speaker 2 took out a full-page advertisement that was published yesterday.
Speaker 2 Tyson's Food is warning that, quote, millions of pounds of meat will disappear from the supply chain as the coronavirus pandemic pushes food processing plants to close, leading to product shortages in grocery stores across the country.
Speaker 2 He wrote yesterday, the food supply chain is breaking. U.S.
Speaker 2 farmers don't have anywhere to sell their livestock, and millions of animals, chickens, pigs, and cattle will be depopulated because of the closure of our processing facilities. Yeah, depopulate.
Speaker 2 Killed.
Speaker 2 There will be a limited limited supply of our products
Speaker 2 until we are able to reopen our facilities that are currently closed. Right now, 182,
Speaker 2 nearly half of the country's total processing plants, and 182 have now closed.
Speaker 2
And it is only going to get worse. It is happening now in Canada.
It is also happening in Brazil. And those three countries
Speaker 2 provide 65% of the world's meat.
Speaker 2 So if they are closed and are producing, let's just even say half of what they normally do, most likely that meat is going to stay in the country of origin. And there's going to be,
Speaker 2 they have said that hamburger will be hard to find at restaurants soon.
Speaker 2 What does that mean? Well, McDonald's doesn't make... Is there hamburger in McDonald's hamburgers yes there is yes 100% meat okay all right
Speaker 2 so some of these hamburger places are gonna have a hard time
Speaker 2 because the prices are gonna go up for anybody who is buying hamburger if you can find it
Speaker 2 a third of the US pork capacity is now down
Speaker 2 which is really
Speaker 2 a problem for some i mean i think we could get rid of pork don't you think stew and we could stop eating bacon and well bacon is good but the rest of pork
Speaker 6 you like
Speaker 3 yeah pork chops uh yeah
Speaker 2 tenderloin pork tenderloin yeah have chicken
Speaker 2 so you're just gonna make these decisions for everyone i i sound yeah i think uh it's i think so i think we could i think we should stop i mean it's a dirty animal in the first place
Speaker 2 uh and i'm i'm a little with islam on uh and and uh jews on the pork thing i i think they probably have that one right we were probably wrong on one of the the few things they seem to agree on, too, which is interesting.
Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, we could start there. Let's build from there.
Speaker 2 You know, pork is really only
Speaker 2 a meat really that we started eating because of Edward Benays, the guy who started advertising. It was called
Speaker 2 propaganda at the time, proudly called propaganda at the time. But we only eat bacon and eggs in the morning because of him, because of advertising.
Speaker 2 Pork started to go down as beef started to really go up. You could raise a pig anywhere, but not cows.
Speaker 2 And so as soon as we started really having cow production and you could get local cows to eat,
Speaker 2
pork started to slip off because nobody likes pork. Nobody's like, I can't live without pork.
Well, I think people do feel that way with our lives.
Speaker 3 That's bacon, though. I mean, that definitely seems like a thing that people are.
Speaker 2
Yeah, bacon is. That's not.
Okay, we're gonna kill the pigs and we'll make bacon, but that's it. The rest of it, no.
Speaker 3 There does seem to be a small movement of sorts of pigs as pets.
Speaker 10 Have you seen this at all?
Speaker 2 No,
Speaker 3 yeah, like no, like the little pig, the little like micro pigs that they have, and they just like they're now just like dogs and cats. You just kind of have them in the house, they're walking around.
Speaker 3 And I guess, honestly, like from what I've heard, they're not particularly dirty creatures at all.
Speaker 2 Dirty?
Speaker 3 Like, they're actually pretty clean
Speaker 3 if you
Speaker 3 don't put them in sales.
Speaker 2 And those are the ones that we keep in houses. They're clean.
Speaker 2 The little ones are clean. Apparently, they're great pets.
Speaker 3 A lot of people swear by the fact that they're great pets. I have no idea if this is accurate or not, but that's what I've heard.
Speaker 2
I call Homeland Security. I call Bill de Blasio.
Even if you're not in New York, I call Bill Blasio and rat on you.
Speaker 3 I bet we have a ton of people who have pigs as pets in this audience.
Speaker 2 I bet we do. I I bet we do.
Speaker 3 I bet that is actually a thing.
Speaker 2 And I will tell you,
Speaker 2
I will make friends with pigs, with people who have pigs as pets faster than those who have cats. I'm just saying.
I'm just saying. Wow,
Speaker 2 I found a way to do it. Just get it in there.
Speaker 2 Let me talk to you about something else. If the president doesn't wake up to this soon and prepare us, he's going to have trouble.
Speaker 2 There's a couple of things. You know,
Speaker 2 the businesses that want to open up, for the most part,
Speaker 2 and
Speaker 2 the people that are protesting, for the most part, are people that are either struggling
Speaker 2 and they really want to open up because either they or their employees or both are having a hard time making ends meet and they don't want more money from the government. Just open up.
Speaker 2 The second group of
Speaker 2 people that I think the president needs to get a handle on are the people who are
Speaker 2 protesting because they see these laws as draconian. They don't want to necessarily open up.
Speaker 2 I mean, as Stu said, in Sweden, they left the movie theaters open, but 95% of the box office was gone because people are smart.
Speaker 2
They don't, they're not, you just have to tell them the truth and they will react in a proper way for the most part. But those two things are going to get worse and worse and worse.
And here's what I
Speaker 2 warn you about.
Speaker 2 There are going to be more and more protesters and groups that are going to try to get you to sign up to go against the government.
Speaker 2 And with reason in some cases. Last week,
Speaker 2 There is a potential rent strike that was brewing among the working poor in New York City. They are planning on skipping out on May's rent payment to the landlords.
Speaker 2 Here's what the website said: With so many New Yorkers unable to pay rent for the foreseeable future, the current crisis is unsustainable and demands action.
Speaker 2 Many tenants have no ability to pay rent, and the landlords can't collect rent from tenants who are broke.
Speaker 2 The landlords have gotten taken care of by the government. Okay,
Speaker 2 so here's the thing:
Speaker 2 you are going to see this kind of mentality start up. Don't pay your rent.
Speaker 2 I urge all Americans to pay their rent, to pay their mortgage, to do what you know you were supposed to do when you got it. If you can't pay it, there are ways,
Speaker 2 you know,
Speaker 2 what do you call it? Unemployment insurance is giving you more money than in some cases than you made before.
Speaker 2 If you're on the low end of the scale, you're getting paid more to stay at home a lot of places are happening and i know that to be true because of the business owner in washington state uh that told msnbc or sorry cnbc last week she was able to get loans for 177 000 and 43 800 and she thought that her 35 spa employees would be happy that they weren't going to lose their job so she got all of this money and she called them all up and said hey guys you're not going to get your job She said, I went through a firestorm of hatred because they saw this as a windfall.
Speaker 2
They saw this as a way, wow, I'm going to make more than I was making at the spa. This is great.
And she all, she said, all of the employees said, Why would you do that?
Speaker 2 And now they're really angry at her because they were making money without having to go to work.
Speaker 2
This is not right and not good for our health. But the president needs to look into a couple of things.
You've got to reduce the number of the payment for unemployment insurance by next month.
Speaker 2 You can't keep doing this.
Speaker 2
And you can't make it so people can make more money sitting at home. You're going to see a movement towards universal basic income.
The left is already just frothing at the mouth for it.
Speaker 2 You're going to see people start to organize
Speaker 2 things like the banks got all their money and we didn't get ours, so why am I going to give money to the banks? Partially true. The landlords didn't get bailed out by the federal government.
Speaker 2 If you're rich, you didn't get a dime from the federal government. And where is the landlord going to get where are they going to get that money? They owe that money to the bank.
Speaker 2 They're just like you, just with a bigger payment every month.
Speaker 2 If they own that building, most likely
Speaker 2 they don't really own the building. The bank does
Speaker 2 uh
Speaker 2 but we are not going to be able to uh open up unless the federal government
Speaker 2 guarantees that businesses are not going to be sued for any employee or anybody coming into the store or restaurant or whatever and gets coronavirus
Speaker 2 We are going to not be able to open up because the lawsuits and litigation will cost us more than the coronavirus did.
Speaker 2 There can't be any lawsuits on this, and the federal government must pass that bill right now.
Speaker 2 Something else you're going to start to see, credit card limits were lowered just last week. So if you had, I don't know, $2,000 on your credit card as your limit, it might be $1,000 now.
Speaker 2 You should check because they have changed that without really saying it.
Speaker 2 And it really bothers me that they're doing this because the banks did get the lion's share of the money they're sitting pretty and I don't see them being asked to do anything for the lower
Speaker 2 class the lower population
Speaker 2 you know the the the people who are closest to the poverty line those people
Speaker 2 should be helped first
Speaker 2 The banks should be given some restrictions, but
Speaker 2
I don't see anything that's really, truly helpful. Also, you're going to see gold start to go up.
And gold is going up right now because the Euro is going down.
Speaker 2 There's a new article that is out today that's about Bitcoin and
Speaker 2 gold. Bitcoin, they're saying, I think the Bitcoin craze may be over.
Speaker 2 If it hasn't really gone up now, I don't know when it ever is.
Speaker 2 But the dollar is strong, strangely. And it's only because we're the floatiest piece of poop in the in the toilet bowl.
Speaker 2 Everything else is just collapsing.
Speaker 2 So in Europe, gold is going through the roof. And here's why.
Speaker 2 Because our dollar is held as the world reserve currency and the petro dollar, which is really important,
Speaker 2 you are going to
Speaker 2 you're going to see things much later, but ours will happen quicker. When it begins, it will just
Speaker 2
be over quickly. Hyperflation will happen overnight when it happens, and we will get deflation first.
What's happening in Europe is the Euro is becoming absolutely worthless.
Speaker 2 It has lost, what is it, 85% in the last year of its value. That means if you had $1,000 in the bank
Speaker 2 last year, you still have $1,000 or Euros in the bank this year,
Speaker 2
except it only has the purchasing power of about 200 Euros. That's why gold is going up.
It's not happening yet in the U.S. dollar, but they are now moving towards
Speaker 2 you have to pay the bank to hold your Euros. That's how
Speaker 2 that's how worthless they are.
Speaker 2 There's something else that I want you to be aware of. If your state is California, Indiana,
Speaker 2 Illinois, I shouldn't say Indiana, I meant Illinois,
Speaker 2 where else is real trouble? New York, any of these states that have pensions that are gigantic and they've been in trouble for a long time, look out. If you're a pensioner, prepare.
Speaker 2 You're not going to get it, or you're going to get a fraction of it, or the federal government is going to bail you out and they will print even more money, which will mean that your money in the end will be worthless.
Speaker 2 Prepare. Your state should go bankrupt and then just
Speaker 2
renegotiate everything. But that money isn't coming.
Even if it comes from the federal government, it's so much money, it will help that money be worthless. So don't expect any help.
Speaker 2 And when the government says they will help, we're in even more trouble. There's also the corporate debt bomb that is happening.
Speaker 2 This is something to watch for. I've got to just race through some of these things.
Speaker 2
I think everything else can wait. Those are the things that I would really brace for and look for.
So that is your money, your dollars, where are they?
Speaker 2 Your job, how secure is it with the debt ratio? And does your corporation have a giant debt bomb?
Speaker 2 Is the government passing a bill that is going to protect those businesses that you work for so they're not sued out of existence?
Speaker 2 The other is the big one, the most urgent one, is your food situation. Hamburger, meat, chicken is going to be harder to get and more expensive.
Speaker 2
It will pick back up, but it's going to take time to get there. And global famine, not hunger, global famine is coming coming because of this pandemic.
And the last thing, please, be responsible.
Speaker 2 Don't take this PPP money if you're just going to, if you see it as a windfall. Don't take this unemployment insurance if you see it as a windfall and pay your rent.
Speaker 2 All right, last week I had a real man week. Yeah,
Speaker 2 restoring the barn, get outside, do some man things. We chop some wood,
Speaker 2 use the hustler turf lawnmower. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Gasoline can is a big one.
Speaker 3 This one I thought you might actually like because people are saying gasoline can, but it's actually a painting of a gasoline can, which I think just is actually somewhat complement to your art here.
Speaker 2
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
No, that's a painting of a gasoline can. It's been around the studio for a a while.
Speaker 3 President Lincoln with a mask. Again, you're
Speaker 3 not, that's not.

Speaker 2
There is nothing that even compares. And I want you to do your own homework.
Don't take my word for it.
Speaker 2 This is a high-quality, I mean, made with steel, not flimsy. I've got a wolf grill, an old wolf grill.
Speaker 2 It's like a...
Speaker 2 It's like an old
Speaker 2
charcoal barbecue pit compared to the Rech Tech. It's unbelievable.

Speaker 2
This is the Glen Beck program. Welcome to Monday.
Yes,
Speaker 2 it is Monday.
Speaker 2 Let me just recap on what just happened.
Speaker 2 Every day we'll put something new in my studio. It'll most likely be something from history.
Speaker 2 You know, if paintings change or whatever, they don't count.
Speaker 2 If you're watching on Blaze TV, this is my art studio at my house that I'm broadcasting from. So there's always something that's new.
Speaker 2 But an object, and today's winning was a rat that is in a glass box, and it's, you know, obviously a dead rat. We found it in an auction in Paris, I think.
Speaker 2
It had been found on an upper shelf of some old warehouse, and they're very, very rare. This rat was made by Ian Fleming.
Ian Fleming, most people don't know.
Speaker 2 He's the guy who wrote all the James Bond books, but most people don't know he really was that kind of guy.
Speaker 2 He loved that kind of lifestyle, and he really was instrumental to Churchill in World War II.
Speaker 2 And one of the things he came up with, this is kind of like one of the original things that Q would have made,
Speaker 2 he came up with an idea of
Speaker 2 stopping the Germans from using the French
Speaker 2 industry that they were trying to turn to a war machine and trying to stop all those giant factories and they didn't know how to do it and Ian Fleming said let's put bombs in the butts of old rats and just insert the bomb through their butt
Speaker 2 and
Speaker 2 then we'll have the French resistance go and throw these rats
Speaker 2 into the the coal stacks because there was always a rat or two that had died in the coal stacks and they they would just be shoveled into the engines or the furnace.
Speaker 2
And those furnaces at the time were usually the ones that were powering these plants and they were all coal-fire at the time. So they sent a box of a hundred of them over.
It was going to be
Speaker 2 the first one, the first box. And what happened, unfortunately, was it was...
Speaker 2 It was not far enough behind enemy lines to be able to get to the French resistance. It actually went went to the Germans.
Speaker 2 It landed right in the camp with a bunch of Germans and they opened the box up and they saw a hundred rats in there like what are the British doing? On closer
Speaker 2 inspection they figured it out but it actually worked out to the advantage of the West because the Germans spent much of their time and many squadrons going through all of the coal and going through all of the alleys and watching, checking rats, dead rats, all the time.
Speaker 2 They had a special squad do it because they were afraid there were rat bombs everywhere. And that, what is sitting behind me here now in the studio? That's today's hidden little gem.
Speaker 3 Is it worth it?
Speaker 3 You know, even if you win the war, if you have to be the one who's inserting the bombs into the rats, I'd rather be.
Speaker 2 But it's worth it to be Ian Fleming. You know, if you were the one that actually had to take the dead rats, find the dead rats, take the dead rats, and insert it up its butt,
Speaker 2 probably not. You'd be like,
Speaker 2 I could be working in a Volkswagen plant right now.
Speaker 3 We're going to get to a point with this economy where people are going to be begging for a job, sticking bombs up people, rats' butts.
Speaker 2
Got anything you need to put up a rat's butt? Because I can do it. I can do it now.
By the way, Glenn,
Speaker 2 I tell you.
Speaker 3 You mentioned quickly on your history thing,
Speaker 3 the rat in the background.
Speaker 3 I'm interested if someone has submitted you to the rate my Skype room account on Twitter.
Speaker 3 I would like to see what you're because there's an account that just is now rating all media people's Skype rooms as to the design of it.
Speaker 6 Oh, really?
Speaker 3
Yeah, on a 1 to 10 scale. It's been really fascinating to watch.
You think some of these really artsy people are just like white wall behind them and they get like one out of 10.
Speaker 3 And then some people have these nice backgrounds all well lit and they have like hallways and bookcases and it looks beautiful. I don't know.
Speaker 3 I mean like you have you've got the interesting artwork behind you that's that's timely and timed into this day.
Speaker 3 Um, what do you, what would you give yourself on a one to ten scale? This is sort of your forte, I feel like.
Speaker 2 Four?
Speaker 9 Only four.
Speaker 2 Too busy? Yeah. Not enough depth in your shot?
Speaker 13 What's the
Speaker 2
shut up? I'm curious. Shut up.
By the way, we have a
Speaker 2 we have a story on glayback.com. Did you see the story where we rated all of the
Speaker 2 conservatives? Yes, which is great. Because
Speaker 3 you've picked out some very interesting things in the background of the conservatives' Skype room shots.
Speaker 2 Right. Some of them are really
Speaker 2
well. You know, I painted this Churchill actually for Ben Shapiro.
I painted this for him because he has this poster of Churchill and it's out of frame.
Speaker 2 You only see like the bottom half of his face and it's just so.
Speaker 2 And I said to him, I said,
Speaker 2
That Churchill poster. He's like, yeah, I just had it laying around.
I thought I might as well just put it up on the wall.
Speaker 2 And I was thinking, well, you should, if you're going to put it up on the wall, it should be in the shot, but that's a different story.
Speaker 2
But I decided, because he's a Churchill fan, I decided to make that. So I'm going to actually send that to him when I finish it.
It's not quite finished, but anyway.
Speaker 2 Yesterday, I think I found the chupacabra.
Speaker 2 If you've been looking for the chupacabra, I believe it is living currently under one of my barns on the farm.
Speaker 2 There are so many animals, armadillos were coming out of the woodwork yesterday, all kinds of a skunk.
Speaker 2 I don't know what's, it's like Noah's Ark, except it's not going anywhere.
Speaker 2 But I do believe that the chupacabra is there. Yesterday we were working and the day before, all weekend long, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Speaker 2 And yesterday was the first Sabbath that I've actually done like real work.
Speaker 2
Probably in 20 years, we haven't done that. Boy, what a mistake that is.
What a mistake. I mean, if you don't honor the Sabbath,
Speaker 2 and I mean this in a way, you know, if you're not religious, really, truly take one day off.
Speaker 2 Don't do anything. You know, sit at home and read a book and,
Speaker 2
you know, play cards or play a game or watch a movie with the kids, whatever it is, but nothing that you do normally. No electronics.
That's usually the way we are on Sunday.
Speaker 2
At least a good portion of the Sunday. You know, we kind of break it at six o'clock at night.
But,
Speaker 2 wow,
Speaker 2 I am screwed up on the days.
Speaker 2 I'm like,
Speaker 2 wait a minute, it's Monday?
Speaker 2 No, it can't be Monday.
Speaker 2 All day yesterday, and it just really,
Speaker 2 I'm just, I'm glad I've done this because I know I won't do it again.
Speaker 3 It's one of those things that people are so screwed up on the days now. I was listening to a radio station in New York, and they always give the time and the date at the top of the hour.
Speaker 3 And they've now come to, and they said this is the reason, they've come to the point where they're now saying the day of the week as well, because so many people are forgetting the day of the week.
Speaker 3
It's just all running together. No one can remember anymore.
So instead of like, you know, April 15th, it's, you know, Wednesday, April 15th, or whatever it was.
Speaker 3 Because people are just like lost.
Speaker 3 All the structure is taken out of everybody's life.
Speaker 2 I mean,
Speaker 2 you know, I saw, what was it, like a, I don't know, a Merlin on the BBC. We started watching that again with the kids, and
Speaker 2 we were watching that, and, you know, they said, you're not supposed to be here until Wednesday. And I'm like, Wednesday? Nobody knew it was Wednesday back then.
Speaker 2
I mean, maybe the king might know that it's Wednesday. What day is it? It's Wednesday, sir.
All right. Thank you, Lord of the Days.
I mean, nobody else was worried about Wednesday back then.
Speaker 2
It was just another day my life is miserable. That's all it was.
What day of the week is it? I don't know. They're all the same.
Misery every day.
Speaker 2 Wednesday.
Speaker 2 I did get some good news.
Speaker 2 You know, I was,
Speaker 2 let me give you this first.
Speaker 2 A listener sent something, said, you posted this five years ago.
Speaker 2 And I wanted you to see it because so much of it applies today. So So I posted this on Facebook five years ago.
Speaker 2 On the eve of the hundredth anniversary of the Armenian genocide, I crawl into my warm bed, well fed, with my children asleep upstairs and my wife safely by my side.
Speaker 2 My mind begins to drift to the news of the day and history that I now know and the history that is being made overseas tonight.
Speaker 2 Christians are being crucified and their children, girls as young as five, taken in chains. Used as sex toys by the depraved monsters who call themselves soldiers of ISIS.
Speaker 2
It has all happened before, and the world took little notice just as they are now. And I refuse to be silent.
Those elected representatives do not represent me. We have
Speaker 2 the power to publish, all of us publish the truth and let our voices be heard.
Speaker 2 My prayer tonight is not only for those whose families are affected 100 years ago, but also the families that were affected when Hitler used the same model and those families that are currently experiencing the extermination of followers of the cross.
Speaker 2 In the latest grisly video from ISIS, and I don't need to go on what they were doing, I said earlier this week, when will we wake up?
Speaker 2 The good news is I believe we are awake and we're starting to, but will it be soon enough?
Speaker 2
This is the time to be who you were sent here to be. a great and noble spirit, a valiant and righteous man or woman.
These are the times that will either
Speaker 2
make our grandchildren proud or make our grandpare grandchildren ashamed of us. I choose to make them proud.
I choose to make a stand. I claim Christ as my Lord and Redeemer.
Speaker 2
I claim Christ as my short sword and shield. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is my hiding place.
The facts are clear.
Speaker 2 And I demand that my name is written down in the Book of Life as one who stood, come what may.
Speaker 2
The truth will set us free, and the Lord is our shepherd, and I will only answer to his voice. May God comfort those who grieve and seek justice.
Rest well. Justice will come.
Speaker 2 I thought it was appropriate today, because I don't know about you, but
Speaker 2 I'm having a hard time with the kids. They're all out of sorts.
Speaker 2 They're teenagers, and I can't seem to get them to really connect with what is happening. It just doesn't, nothing seems real
Speaker 2
to them. And then I got this last night from Tim Ballard.
Hey, Glenn, I wanted you to know we rescued this little girl last night.
Speaker 2 She was being held by captive by ISIS in Alhol, the prison camp in Syria.
Speaker 2 It's a prison supposedly for ISIS, but since we pulled out, Alhol prison is now a camp basically being run by the prisoners of ISIS. They stay because they have nowhere else to go.
Speaker 2 But from here, they continue to abuse and sell Christian and Yazidi children who they disguise as their own children, which is how these kids ended up in the prison camp in the first place.
Speaker 2 The kids are being sold into Turkey and other areas as sex slaves and organ harvesting victims. We have UC OS assets inside El Hol, which allows us to rescue these kids.
Speaker 2 The third child in last month, this is the third child in the last month we got out. Thank you for your love and support for the Nazarene Fund and for founding it in the first place.
Speaker 2 This little girl's name is Ronya.
Speaker 2
She's in a safe house now, still in Syria, but she's on the border. We can't get her across because of COVID.
All the borders are closed, but they have smuggled her into safety now.
Speaker 2 That's the third person that
Speaker 2 while COVID is taking
Speaker 2 a rest everywhere and telling everybody not to work,
Speaker 2 The Nazarene Fund is doing
Speaker 2 essential work now. These are truly essential people.
Speaker 2 We would ask that you would support either by going to the Nazarenefund.org and donating some money
Speaker 2 or just keeping them in your prayers and share these stories with your kids because
Speaker 2 my kids are, I can't deal with this anymore. Really? Really? Boy, I'm just, oof.
Speaker 2 You can't deal with it? Ah, okay. All right.
Speaker 2 Maybe this is a story you can share with your kids
Speaker 2 who can learn to deal with just not having friends over now.
Speaker 2
I don't speak dog, but if I did, I'm pretty sure Uno would have a lot of colorful adjectives to describe how much he loves rough greens. He is so active now.
This is a dog that we were worried about.
Speaker 2 I mean, he hated to eat. He wouldn't do it unless we literally would hand feed him.
Speaker 2 It's always been a hassle. He was always
Speaker 2 under underweight, and we didn't know what to do. If you are feeding your dog kibble food or even if you make it by hand,
Speaker 2
it doesn't matter. It's been sterilized, so all of the good nutrients are killed in it.
Rough greens is not a dog food. It's a supplement that you put on the food, and it
Speaker 2
contains massive amounts of vitamins, minerals, digestive enzymes, probiotics, and even omega oils and antioxidants. Take the Rough Greens challenge right now.
14-day jumpstart for $14.95.
Speaker 2
See the difference in your dog, like I've seen in Uno. Go to RoughGreens, R-U-F-F greens.com/slash Beck.
That's roughgreens.com/slash Beck or call 833-GLEN33.
Speaker 14 This is the Glenbeck program.
Speaker 2 Hey, if you missed Tim Poole on the Glenbeck program on Friday, make sure you grab it. It's available for Blaze TV subscribers only now.
Speaker 2 It's Friday's episode of our Friday exclusive with Tim Poole. He's a fascinating guy.
Speaker 2
Let me go to Kim. Hi, Kim.
Welcome to the Glenbeck program. Hi.
Speaker 2 Hello.
Speaker 2 I understand you're on unemployment now?
Speaker 2 Yes.
Speaker 16
I've been on unemployment since March 27th. Actually, it took me about two weeks to get through, get the car, get it loaded.
But, you know, we made it through.
Speaker 16
I really hated that my boss had to come and tell me. that he had to do this.
He, with tears in his eyes, had to do it.
Speaker 16 But about a week ago or about three or four days days ago, I got an email that they're hopefully with everything going right that we'd be able to open up
Speaker 16
May 4th. And he said, would you like to come back? And I said a resounding yes.
And I've been worried about him because I've been worried about myself and all of my other co-workers.
Speaker 16 And I'm just happy that it seems like, hopefully, if everything goes well,
Speaker 16 You know, if people who are, you know, in my situation can understand that when you use the funds that are given right now, over time, it's like it's going to be fake money.
Speaker 16 And it's not really going to help anything. It's only going to hurt.
Speaker 17 And even though it is there to help, and people do need it right now.
Speaker 17 But if you can, go ahead and pay the bills, go ahead and pay the rent, go ahead and pay, because there's another thing that it's going to be cut off at a certain point.
Speaker 2 Yeah.
Speaker 2 And Kim, I have to tell you,
Speaker 2
it's it's toxic to the soul. It's good to work and earn money.
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 Well, there was a story that caught my eye earlier today. It's about a Dallas hair salon that is opening up, even though the judges said,
Speaker 2 no, you're not.
Speaker 2 Yeah, they did. Shelly Luther is the owner of the salon.
Speaker 2 Now, a lot of people would be interested to talk to her about that, but I want to talk to her because her name of her business is Salon a la mode.
Speaker 2
So I'm not sure. I mean, I'm going to get my haircut there if they're offering ice cream while you get your haircut.
I'm not sure, but we
Speaker 2 penetrating questions with Shelly Luther, the owner of the Dallas salon that opened up and said, I don't care what the city says, I'm opening up. We talk to her next in one minute.
Speaker 4 This is the Glenbeck program.
Speaker 2
Wouldn't that be a good salon? I mean, wouldn't that be a good salon? You get ice cream. Of course, you get hair in your ice cream.
We'll work on it. We'll work on it.
Wait a minute.
Speaker 2 A flobe would suck. Anyway,
Speaker 2
the one person who has always been in your corner for your whole life, hopefully, has been your mom. Those times when you were home sick from school.
Who's the one that fixed your chicken noodle soup?
Speaker 2 Who's the one, my son Rafe, that always makes you grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soups when you ask for it nicely. Now,
Speaker 2 there's no problem there. Anyway,
Speaker 2 you know, who always can gauge your temperature just by the back of her hand or just giving you a kiss on the forehead? It is mom.

Speaker 2 All right.
Speaker 2 We have the one, the only Shelly Luther,
Speaker 2 who is making national news now. She's the owner of the Dallas Salon Salon A la Mode.
Speaker 2 Welcome, Shelly. How are you?
Speaker 14 I'm great. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 Please tell me you serve ice cream with a haircut.
Speaker 14 That probably wouldn't be sanitary, but a la mode actually means trendy or fashionable.
Speaker 2 Ah, does it really? I always thought it meant with ice cream on top. Anyway, it does.
Speaker 2 That's you. Yeah.
Speaker 2 Okay, so you have 19 stylists that are working at your one location, and you do nails and hair and eyebrows and all of that stuff. And
Speaker 2
Friday, Friday, you were issued a citation from the police because you decided to open your salon. And then you tore the citation up and said, I'm not anyone special.
I just know that I have rights.
Speaker 2 Tell me about that.
Speaker 14 Sort of. Yeah, that's close to the story.
Speaker 14 The police were sent here by TDLR, which is Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations.
Speaker 14 And honestly, the Dallas Police Department was very cordial and gracious, and it looked like they were almost embarrassed to be there because they were on my side. They even said, we're on your side.
Speaker 14 But they always send the police officers to come out, and
Speaker 14 all they were doing was confirming that I was open. They said they had to write me a citation and gave me a case number, and that went back to TDLR.
Speaker 14 So that happened and then later on in the day the city of Dallas, the
Speaker 14 DFC, like the
Speaker 14 ordinance violation people came out and said you need to shut down.
Speaker 14 I'm like I'm not shutting down and so they left for about an hour and came back with a letter from our county judge, Judge Clay Jenkins in Dallas that said you must see some
Speaker 14 desist business at 1 p.m.
Speaker 14 or you could be charged with a misdemeanor or have a civil issue on your hands basically threatening to sue me.
Speaker 14 And the cease and desist letter is what I actually tore up at the Open Texas rally.
Speaker 2 And what did he what did he say? Because I hear he said, I'm guided by science. I don't know what you're guided by.
Speaker 14 I have no idea what he said. He hasn't reached out to me directly, which I kind of have a problem with
Speaker 14 because I feel like if if he either came to the salon or we could discuss all of the sanitation training that my stylists have to get their license, it's quite ridiculous that we are the ones shut down when next door, there's a dog grooming business that is essential and they're open.
Speaker 2 Unbelievable. So
Speaker 2 what was it that made you say, enough is enough? I'm opening.
Speaker 14 Well,
Speaker 14 when they kept pushing back
Speaker 14 all of the the dates, you know, they would set a date, push it back, set a date, push it back.
Speaker 14 And when I called the Texas Unemployment Agency, not joking, 573 times in one day, and I still didn't get an answer, I said, this is enough.
Speaker 14 I'm just going to open because I've not received any money from the government.
Speaker 2 Where is this going to go from here, do you think?
Speaker 14 Well, Governor Greg Abbott, as we know, is supposed to speak today at 2.30.
Speaker 14 He better open Texas completely
Speaker 14 or he's going to have a lot of people that are going to be upset with him.
Speaker 14 So I'm just waiting to see what he says. And he actually...
Speaker 2 What if he says I'm going to leave it up to the cities to decide?
Speaker 14 Well, right now,
Speaker 14
Dallas County is until May 15th. That's not going to make me close down.
I'm hoping a lot of people are calling to say, how do we help you?
Speaker 14 I say, open your business because they can't put us all in jail.
Speaker 14 So we all have to stand up. Now's the time for us to stand up because if we don't take back our civil liberties right now, I don't know when we ever can.
Speaker 2 What about the people that would say that you're being irresponsible, you know, because we're in the middle of a pandemic?
Speaker 14 Well, I would say if they have seen the real science and not, you know, the fake news, they would understand that we're going above and beyond any guidelines that the CDC is giving as far as sanitation because hairstylists already have that knowledge.
Speaker 14
No one has to come into the salon. I'm not making the stylists, clients, nobody.
They don't have to come in here. So it is your right if you want to stay home.
Speaker 14 But if people need to get back to work to feed their families, let them do it.
Speaker 2
All right. So let me ask you this, Shelly.
And i i
Speaker 2 this a personal thing for me my uh producer on my tv show her name is ricky um
Speaker 2 her roots are atrocious right now i mean
Speaker 2 it's bad
Speaker 14 it's really bad i mean glenn i cannot talk right now
Speaker 2 well i'm just i'm just wondering if you can get her in right away if i if i gave her the address if you could get her in because i just we're doing zoom calls every day and it's like i'm talking to a reverse skunk
Speaker 14 that's not fair
Speaker 14 but we absolutely we're taking walk-ins so anybody we actually had a gentleman fly in from colorado just to get his haircut to support us and then i just had a gentleman call me from pennsylvania that he says the airfare is so cheap i'm coming to get a haircut and getting a picture with you oh my god you know so oh my gosh i'm getting messages from south africa of people supporting me, the United Kingdom.
Speaker 14 And the amount of support compared to the people that are not happy with me, I mean, I would say 98% of the people are backing me and behind me.
Speaker 14 And so that's been really exciting and it helps keep the motivation moving forward.
Speaker 2 And Shelly, do you think it's because, I mean, everybody wants to stay safe, but you're behind in your mortgage, I'm guessing. Your stylists are behind in their mortgage.
Speaker 2 Yes.
Speaker 2 And it's like, enough is enough.
Speaker 14 Enough is enough.
Speaker 14 And besides these ordinances, and that's what they are, they're not laws. These ordinances, these people think that they can put on us,
Speaker 14 especially without a vote.
Speaker 14
And a lot of them are done by a single person saying, well, I'm getting information from these people. No, you do not have the right to do that.
You do not.
Speaker 14 And enough is enough.
Speaker 14 And so we're working, and we haven't shut down since Friday. And we have plenty of business and I'm thanking everybody for the free marketing.
Speaker 2 If,
Speaker 2 well, you're welcome. If Ricky comes in,
Speaker 2 take care of her because it's woof.
Speaker 2 But
Speaker 2 take care of her. And
Speaker 2 also consider my ice cream with
Speaker 2 every haircut. I think it might work.
Speaker 14 We might serve some outside just for sanitation reasons.
Speaker 2 I would definitely consider that just for you.
Speaker 10 All right.
Speaker 2 Shelly, thank you so much. That's Shelly Luther.
Speaker 2 She is the salon owner here in Dallas that has reopened her business despite the stay-at-home orders and even the orders from a judge saying you're violating, I don't know, some sort of ban that, you know, we could send you to the pound.
Speaker 2 People jail won't take you, but we'll send you to the pound. I'll tell you that right now.
Speaker 2 All right, let me take a quick break, tell you about our sponsor, and then I've got some news on Nancy Pelosi that's going to make your head explode.

Thank you for supporting Mercury One and the Nazarene Fund, especially in these troubled times
Speaker 2 and just being who you are.
Speaker 2 We forget that sometimes, that
Speaker 2 we're different.
Speaker 2 We're Americans, and that means something. And if you don't think it does, well, maybe you should
Speaker 2 maybe should ask why.
Speaker 2 Why do you think that that doesn't mean anything?
Speaker 2 Why do you think we're not different than other countries? Call me, by the way, and I can help you through that if you'd like.
Speaker 2 All right, Nancy Pelosi has now claimed that China travel banned, China, when Trump banned travel to China, it didn't go far enough.
Speaker 2 If you're going to shut the door because you have an evaluation of an epidemic, then shut the door, she said. Actually, tens of thousands of people were still allowed in from Jada.
Speaker 2
So it wasn't as described as this great movement. There were Americans coming back or green card holders coming back.
There were tens of thousands. I just don't think he did enough.
Speaker 2 Oh
Speaker 2 my.
Speaker 2 May I go into the time machine way back to a time that nobody even remembers. How old were you on April 27th of this year?
Speaker 2 The Trump administration's expansion of its outrageous American travel ban threatens our security, our values, and the rule of law.
Speaker 2 The sweeping rule barring more than 350 million individuals from predominantly African nations from traveling to the United States is discrimination disguised as policy.
Speaker 2 Now, the only reason why she can say first that she was going to file
Speaker 2 some sort of a motion in Congress to deem him a racist and to pull these
Speaker 2 Chinese travel restrictions back. Not only did she do that, but when he expanded them, she doubled down.
Speaker 2 Okay.
Speaker 2 Why can she get away with this?
Speaker 2 They can get away with these things because they know no one in the mainstream media is going to say a damn thing.
Speaker 2
So if no one is saying, ah, wait a minute, Speaker Pelosi, you do remember saying this, don't you? They have no reason to tell you the truth. None.
They can get away with it.
Speaker 2 They can say and do whatever they want. This is the problem.
Speaker 2 When you are in
Speaker 2 a society where the press is not independent and will not hold both sides to
Speaker 2
equal standards, you have no chance of survival. No chance of survival.
Media Matters, by the way, Media Matters has now filed for a small business loan.
Speaker 2 You've got to be kidding me. Also, the Congressional Progressive Caucus Center.
Speaker 14 Hmm. Hmm.
Speaker 2 So the Congressional Progressive Caucus Center applied for a loan and got $160,000.
Speaker 2 $154,000 went to the ACLU,
Speaker 2 and I don't have a number yet on media matters.
Speaker 2 You got to be kidding me, right? Media matters?
Speaker 2 The left's darling?
Speaker 2 The George Soros-funded Media Matters needs money? Our tax dollars?
Speaker 6 I was very
Speaker 3 sure, though, that, you know, it wasn't a small business. Media Matters, you know, because they get a non-profit designation, why would they be getting small business loans?
Speaker 2 It doesn't seem, almost doesn't even seem possible. But
Speaker 3 I do find their level of deep analysis and honesty is something that our government should absolutely be propping up for sure.
Speaker 2
It's despicable. It's despicable.
The way the media, I mean, political operatives are going to do this. The way the media treats them is despicable.
Speaker 2 By the way, David Brock, who Time magazine called one of the most influential operatives in the Democratic Party, which I think is true, has now been accused of illegally transferring millions of dollars from his nonprofit to a for-profit entity.
Speaker 2 So he took it from Media Matters
Speaker 2 and then he transferred $2.7 million in tax-exempt assets and transferred them to TrueBlue Media, a for-profit company owned by Brock that is the parent company of ShareBlue, another for-profit media company known as the American Independent.
Speaker 2 So
Speaker 2 here's a group that, and a guy who is
Speaker 2 stealing money from a non-profit and from you, the taxpayer. taking and funneling money through a non-profit and then pushing it over to a for-profit company.
Speaker 2 These people are absolutely despicable, just despicable. And again, why can they get away with it? Because no one's going to say anything bad about Media Matters.
Speaker 3
Yeah, no, it's true. The Nancy Pelosi thing is in some ways more.
Obviously, you know, Media Matters makes no difference to anyone, but the Nancy Pelosi thing is a bit more frustrating.
Speaker 3 It's like, I feel like you can actually go back and give people
Speaker 3 on both sides of the aisle a little bit of a break before, let's say, mid-March,
Speaker 3 where people got this wrong, right?
Speaker 3 Like you can go back and find all sorts of terrible takes about how you didn't think that people didn't think it would be over a hundred or a thousand people would die and all this entire, you know, the whole year.
Speaker 3 You can find those things all over the place from the left and the right. And at some level, we all have to acknowledge that this
Speaker 3 is hit in a different way than almost everybody projected.
Speaker 3 I bring this up relatively often, but mid-March, 87% 87%
Speaker 3 of the American people believed there would be less than 10,000 deaths for the entire year from COVID-19. So we're at the point now, we're at well over 50,000 right now.
Speaker 3 And that was just a little bit over a month ago. So the idea that everyone was going to be perfect is...
Speaker 3 It just didn't happen, and we all should acknowledge that it didn't happen. And some grace is necessary, I think, for most people that they didn't understand it.
Speaker 3 The exception to that is people like Nancy Pelosi, who continually use criticisms of other people saying, oh, those other people, they were bad. They were ruining, they were causing deaths.
Speaker 3 Blood is on their hands because of the things that they didn't do, like Donald Trump, when she at the same time was encouraging people to go to Chinatown for giant parades and parties in the middle of the outbreak.
Speaker 2
It's one of the things that. No, she said, she cleared that up, Stu.
Don't twist that. She said she was only trying to say, don't discriminate.
against Chinese people.
Speaker 2 Well, she was not promoting the Chinese, you know, Chinatown and the big parade that was going on.
Speaker 3
She may have been trying to say all sorts of things. She may have been trying to say the Pledge of Allegiance, but that's not what she said.
What she said was, come on down, everybody.
Speaker 3 It's going to be great.
Speaker 3 So, you know, this is a,
Speaker 3 and she's just one example. She's not the only one who does it.
Speaker 3 But you look at this from, there was a story that came out in the New York Times about this bar owner in New Jersey who's a Trump supporter, went on a cruise, got COVID-19, died.
Speaker 3 And there's this little genre going on in the media where people, you feature a Trump supporter who is skeptical of coronavirus, and then they die from coronavirus, and you kind of write this, I feel bad for these people because they were so misled by Sean Hannity type of story.
Speaker 3 In this one, they actually cite a comment from Sean Hannity where he's dismissive of COVID-19 that occurred eight days after he left for the cruise.
Speaker 3 Eight days after it. So I don't know why that would inspire him to go on the cruise he had already been on.
Speaker 3 And, you know, there's no evidence that coronavirus even came from the cruise beyond that.
Speaker 2 Look at that. But it's just covering up for killers.
Speaker 2 There's Stu right there. Covering up for killers.
Speaker 3 There I am again.
Speaker 2 Wow.
Speaker 3 And the author of the story actually had a tweet of her own that was skeptical of the panic, yet still has
Speaker 3 the guts to go out and write that story as if Donald Trump was personally responsible for this guy's death.
Speaker 3 It's despicable.
Speaker 2 It really is.
Speaker 2 One of my favorite people, Chad Prayther, coming up next.
Speaker 4 This is is the Glenbeck program.
Speaker 2 All right.
Speaker 2 Our sponsor
Speaker 2 here on the Glenbeck program is Simply Safe.
Speaker 2 Simply Safe is really, truly an amazing company that has been with us now for a long time. They were just starting out when they first came on as advertisers.
Speaker 2 And now they're a huge company that is changing home security all around the world. With home security the way
Speaker 2 it is now,
Speaker 2 it's so expensive to get good home security. And
Speaker 2 when you look at SimplySafe's pricing and you look at how they price all the cameras and everything, because you own them,
Speaker 2 you are going to be so angry with what people are charging to install home security because it's absolutely eye-gouging and unnecessary. This is the best in the business.
Speaker 2
This is really good quality stuff, and you'll pay 50 cents a day for the actual monitoring. SimplySafeBeck.com.

Speaker 2
This is the Glenn Beck program. One of our Blaze TV hosts is Chad Prayther.
I just love this guy. He is, a lot of people describe him as kind of a Jeff Foxworthy.
I think he's more like Will Rogers.
Speaker 2 He's really intelligent, backed by real facts. I mean, not the Jeff Foxworthy isn't, but backed by facts, and really just takes on the ills of society in a very fun and common sense way.
Speaker 2 Welcome, Chad Prayther. How are you?
Speaker 9 Hey, I'm doing good, Glenn. You know, I miss you around here.
Speaker 7 You remember the good old days when I used to see you and I try to say hi and security would tackle me?
Speaker 2 Yeah, oh man, security was just saying, can we go and just tackle Chad for, you know,
Speaker 2 just for old time's sakes? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 12 No, I'm doing great, man.
Speaker 9 Hanging in there. You need a haircut.
Speaker 2 You're doing that on purpose? Thank you.
Speaker 2 No, I just need a haircut.
Speaker 2 So, Chad, let's talk about your special.
Speaker 2 let's go back and look at your special. Let me play a clip from your special that just started airing now on Blaze TV, and it is on surveillance.
Speaker 2 This clip is apparently you discussing what Australia is doing to try to trace COVID-19. Listen.
Speaker 7 Let me tell you what happened last week in Australia.
Speaker 2 Australia.
Speaker 3 They've got
Speaker 7 basically a COVID trace app.
Speaker 7 Prime Minister Scott Morrison declared on Saturday the COVID trace app set to be launched in the coming weeks would be voluntary, and he was seeking people's cooperation to, quote, help our health workers to protect our community and help get our economy going again.
Speaker 2 So
Speaker 7 they're trying to convince Australians to use software
Speaker 7 to basically track this stuff.
Speaker 7 So
Speaker 7 one person said, I treasure the government knowing as little about me as possible. There's always the argument, argument, if you've done nothing wrong, you've got nothing to worry about.
Speaker 7 My argument is if I'm no concern, you need know nothing
Speaker 2 about me. That's true.
Speaker 7 It's happening in
Speaker 2 Serbia.
Speaker 7 This one journalist was arrested for upsetting the public.
Speaker 2 That's a quote.
Speaker 7 and talking about, kind of exposing some things of, you know, talking about the lack of equipment in one of these clinics and their unpreparedness.
Speaker 7 And you can't report on stuff like that in certain places.
Speaker 2 So, Chad,
Speaker 2 you are disturbed by the reaction of COVID or our reaction to not caring about some of this stuff?
Speaker 7 Well, I think, Glenn, that we've always known that somebody's watching, right? We know that somebody's listening in.
Speaker 7 The scary thing that COVID has done or the circumstance is that now we're encouraging it almost. I mean, all the way to
Speaker 7
the government asking neighbors to report on big crowds of people or people that aren't distancing. And we're giving away those freedoms.
And it's opened to Pandora's box.
Speaker 7 You remember back in 2001, Richard Reed tries to shut off a shoe bomb on a plane. And now all of us have to go through TSA checkpoints and take our shoes off every time we fly, all because of one guy.
Speaker 2 One guy.
Speaker 7
And it changed how we travel forever. Now look at what's going on with this.
We have this pandemic, this virus, whatever you want to label this thing as. It has now changed everything.
Speaker 7 And one of the biggest things that we're seeing is that now we are a nation under surveillance.
Speaker 7 You have not only neighbors watching you, you have Apple that has come out with special apps, an app, I should say, for the iPhone.
Speaker 3 You can put your earbuds in.
Speaker 7
You can leave your iPhone. It's sold under the guise of a hearing aid.
You can leave your phone in the room, in the conference room, and say, excuse me, I need to run to the restroom.
Speaker 7 And you can listen to everything that's being said in the conference room in your absence because it's transmitting over to your earbuds.
Speaker 7 So this surveillance, if you will, is gone all the way down to the individual citizen level, and it's really kind of frightening.
Speaker 7 We go into, you know, the last week's episode about surveillance, we uncovered so much stuff that's going on that people don't realize that we decided to do more episodes, and we're going to be doing that this week discussing this topic.
Speaker 7 But we share some really shocking footage of drones being used in China and the facial recognition and their means of communicating and spying on people.
Speaker 7 And so many nations around the world are taking their cues from China. They're actually doing
Speaker 7 what China has been doing for years.
Speaker 2 And you think. And China is selling it to us.
Speaker 7
They're selling it to us. And people think that that's not happening here in America, but it is.
Elizabeth, New Jersey, just recently had to come out and say, look, we're not monitoring you.
Speaker 7 We're going to use drones, but it's only going to be to tell you if you need to social distance. So imagine you're out walking down the street, you're with your family,
Speaker 7 you're just out for a little stroll, and a drone flies up behind you and starts hovering over you, telling you, well, hey, you're not wearing a mask. You need to go back home.
Speaker 7 You need to get your mask on before you come back in, or you guys are not far enough apart.
Speaker 7 These are the kind of things that are being done, not not in China, but they're actually being done in states around America.
Speaker 2 And that's frightening.
Speaker 2
I saw a story today. The first city that I know of that said no to drones, the police department bought all these drones up in Westport, Connecticut of all places.
And
Speaker 2 the residents said, you are not flying drones over to make sure that we don't have a fever. Apparently, these drones could tell if somebody had a fever up to 190 feet away.
Speaker 2 And they said, you're not flying these drones over the city and told the police, return the drones. And they did.
Speaker 2 But that's the first time I've heard anybody complaining about these.
Speaker 7
Right, and that's the problem. It's going to become the norm.
And that's what happened. You remember after 9-11 and they enacted the Patriot Act?
Speaker 7 And it went from trying to find information and background on individuals that we considered may be terrorists to all the way down to being able to collect data from anyone.
Speaker 7 You have, have right now, you have Axiom and other data brokers that are out there who are doing what's called micro-targeting.
Speaker 7 So let's say if I'm an employer and I want to find a blonde-headed female who's voted Republican in the past, she's 23 years old and owns a Labrador retriever.
Speaker 7 I can micro-target that and it will in a few moments give me a list of people that detailed that I can choose from. These are the kind of things that are going on.
Speaker 7 We now have video game technology, which is actually tracking your body positions. Let's say you're playing
Speaker 7 one of these war games that are on there and you're in, this will actually track how you would function in that scenario and it records that. Go all the way down to the things we have.
Speaker 7 Don't forget just forget about Siri and Google Play and Alexa in your house. We've got Bluetooth enabled robot vacuum cleaners that can map the blueprint of your house if they want to.
Speaker 7 We've allowed these things into our homes.
Speaker 7 So if we're willing to go down to that level, how much more are we willing to allow a drone that can be hundreds of feet or yards away and still track what you're doing?
Speaker 2
It's frightening. I don't think that there's going to be, I think that's what we're headed for.
I think we are headed for a world of
Speaker 2
brave new world. You know, I've always said that 1984 is China, but the West will be brave new world.
We'll embrace it for our own safety. Yeah, and I heard you.
That's the problem.
Speaker 7 Yeah, and I heard you say a good while ago, said, you know, it's not 1984 George Orwell that we're worried about so much as it's Algis Huxley.
Speaker 7 And that is exactly what we're seeing enacted in this thing.
Speaker 2 And, you know,
Speaker 7 the Chad Prayer show, we try to take a humorous look at things, but we also try to put common sense out there. You know, on Stu Does America, Stu tries to do the same thing.
Speaker 7 The only difference is Stu's actually funny.
Speaker 7 But we have, you know, every now and then it's time to just step back and take a look at this thing and say, man, we're really getting screwed in this thing.
Speaker 7 I kind of feel like you were talking earlier on the show about the rats with the bombs up their butt, except now we have surveillance measures.
Speaker 7 People are listening and people are watching, and we're letting the rats in the house and not even noticing them because they're everyday household things.
Speaker 2 So, you know, what bothers me about this is the
Speaker 2 and I talked about this, what, a year or so ago at least, and I put it up on the chalkboard.
Speaker 2 You should be looking at that chalkboard where there's a few things up there that talk about, you know, five, I think, five or six steps to global change.
Speaker 2 And one of them is technology getting into bed with the government. And this, the coronavirus has done it.
Speaker 2 Has done it. There is
Speaker 2 a report that was given to the president and the president's cabinet last fall that has just been released because of a FOIA request.
Speaker 2 And it is from the who's who of Silicon Valley.
Speaker 2 And everything
Speaker 2 in it. is praising China because China and the private companies have merged together and they get rid of all the red tape for these big companies.
Speaker 2 And in exchange, these big companies give all this information to the government.
Speaker 2
And in this report, they keep praising it, saying, this is the future. This is what we need to do.
This is how we can help.
Speaker 2 It's horrible. That's exactly right.
Speaker 7 We're starting to see companies like Amazon and Google that are partnering together to make sure this happens. And it's
Speaker 7 when you start thinking about companies that are that big. I mean, have you seen what Amazon's trading at right now?
Speaker 7 I mean, outrageous how big and consuming, all-consuming that this company has become.
Speaker 15 And now they're tracking every bit of our data for use.
Speaker 7 And here's the thing, Glenn, I'm not even,
Speaker 7 the government is looking at us, listening to us, and I know that's happening. But now
Speaker 7 it gets really frightening when Bill de Blasio, the mayor of New York City, comes out and says, hey, if you see a large crowd, we want you to take a picture and send it to local authorities.
Speaker 7 That is brown shirt kind of stuff. And you have your neighbors who are actually being rewarded for reporting these things, and you're being fined.
Speaker 7 If you're having, you know, let's say you're having a barbecue and some of the family and friends come over there and you're not social distancing enough.
Speaker 7 What we've done is it's kind of like a modern-day Miss Kravitz who's looking through the bent blinds and trying to see what she can find out about the neighbors.
Speaker 7 And the more we do that and the more we're tempted to be that tattletale down the street, it's almost like we have neighborhood hall monitors at this point it's kind of frightening uh when you
Speaker 2 only usually the the worst people are those hall monitors
Speaker 7 i mean you know it's not like the ones who are real libertarian are like yeah leave everybody alone yeah uh those people don't become hall monitors i don't know at what point in time we're going to wake up to the realization that for millennia uh humanity has proved that people are not inherently good and we really do bad things to one another when given power.
Speaker 7
We're starting to see that. We've had our complaints about congresspeople and senators.
Now we're seeing it not only in governors of states, but in mayors of city that are really overstepping bounds.
Speaker 7 You know, we could sit here and say that the restrictions have been
Speaker 7
lifted. I read that in a document.
It was kind of an old document. It was written in 1776.
Speaker 2 But here we are willing to give up those freedoms and those rights willingly for a false sense of security
Speaker 7 to make us think that everything's going to be okay. Will America go back to being the way it was six months ago?
Speaker 12 I truly don't believe that it will.
Speaker 2
I don't think so either. Everybody keeps, and this bothers me.
Every time I hear it, it bothers me. They keep talking about going back to a new normal.
Yeah.
Speaker 7 That's sort of like whenever, you know, it's like when Oprah and them kept using that term, my truth.
Speaker 7 There's no my truth. There's truth.
Speaker 12 There's no new normal. There's normal.
Speaker 7
We've never truly been able to define what normal is. Normal for me is not normal for you.
God knows normal for you isn't like normal for the rest of the world, Glenn. So,
Speaker 10 hey, look at this, Glenn.
Speaker 7
I wonder if we could see this. You know, you've got the paintings of the mask.
I found a painting of Beck.
Speaker 7 Can you see that in the camera right there?
Speaker 2 Look at that. I just threw the mask.
Speaker 2
Wow, that's good. There you go.
It looks like a 12.
Speaker 2
It looks like a 12. You do look like you're 12.
All right. Thank you so much, Chad.

Speaker 2 It's a really low thing to steal from other people, but it's even lower to steal from other people who have little left to steal.
Speaker 2 This is what's happening now.
Speaker 2 The response to coronavirus has put millions of people out of work. They're relying on unemployment benefits just to get them through, like chum and water.
Speaker 2 Cyber criminals have smelled out a set of easy marks, and recently the FTC has received more than 100 reports of identity theft linked to the pandemic.
Speaker 2 Unfortunately, many laid-off workers have discovered that they're already victims of identity theft.
Speaker 2 Where they file for unemployment, they found out somebody already else is somebody's using their name their identity to file for unemployment elsewhere
Speaker 2 this is why you need lifelock lifelock detects a wide range of identity threats and works with you to resolve them when and if they do happen can you imagine having that and you're going into an unemployment office and you're like well but that's not me i wouldn't even know how to begin to fix that Life Lock has a team of specialists dedicated to make sure that you can get through those messes.

Speaker 4 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
Speaker 2 So, Jeff Goldblum
Speaker 2 is facing backlash for questions he asked
Speaker 2 during
Speaker 2 an episode of RuPaul's Drag Race.
Speaker 2 In a recent season 12 episode, Jeff Goldblum asked a Muslim contestant if her religion, it was a guy, if her religion was anti-homosexuality and anti-women.
Speaker 2 Is there something in this religion that is anti-homosexuality and and anti-women? Does that complicate the issue? I mean, I'm just raising it and thinking out loud.
Speaker 2 And I mean, maybe I'm being stupid. Well, apparently he was because
Speaker 2 you don't say those things.
Speaker 2 Jeff Goldblum felt the need to say, isn't Islam anti-gay and anti-women to Jackie because she was wearing a stars and stripes hijab?
Speaker 2 As if America hasn't been anti-gay and anti-women from the outset or killed and displaced millions of Muslims, including women and queers. Oh, shut up.
Speaker 2 Shut up.
Speaker 2 You know what the real controversy on this is?
Speaker 2 RuPaul has had a show that has
Speaker 2 12 seasons.
Speaker 2 I was not aware of that. Is that possible?
Speaker 2 Season 12
Speaker 2
on a season 12 episode. I couldn't, it took me a long time to get past that going, really? Yeah.
RuPaul?
Speaker 7 Just too much television now.
Speaker 3 There's shows that people tell me about that are like, this is the best show.
Speaker 2 You'd love it. It's right up your alley.
Speaker 3 I'm like, what is it? And they tell me, and it's been out for like eight seasons.
Speaker 2
And I haven't ever even heard of it. Yeah, I know.
Never heard of it. Never heard of it.
It is the golden age of television.
Speaker 2 By the way, did you see that internet speeds have gone up like dramatically since we got rid of the FCC's meddling in net neutrality? Oh, wow.
Speaker 3 Shocking. Yeah.
Speaker 2 Yeah, nobody's talking about that. Speeds are way up now on the internet.
Speaker 4 This is the Glenbeck program. Program, program, program.
