Globalist Woke on Capitalism | Guest: Michael Rectenwald | 5/6/19

Going to be another fantastic show.

There's a lot, a lot to talk about.

The Palestinian

thing is just

insanity, true insanity.

We'll get to that coming up right away and tell you how we might be going to war with Iran soon.

All right, first let me tell you about Relief Factor.

Relief Factor is 100% drug-free.

It was created by doctors.

It has four key ingredients that will help you with inflammation.

It will help you sleep through the night.

It'll help you get up in the morning.

It will help you last all day.

You've got 20 bucks to lose if it doesn't work, but if it works, you get your life back.

Go play with your kids and your grandkids.

Do the things you want to do.

Try Relief Factor.

Try it for the three-week trial.

ReliefFactor.com.

That's relieffactor.com.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

The entire thing began after a Palestinian Islamic jihad sniper

fired at Israeli soldiers.

Israel retaliated.

Over 600 rockets were then fired

on civilians in Israel.

And now we have Elon Omar saying that Israel

is not a real democracy.

It doesn't respect other religions.

Shouldn't be a Jewish state.

We have Talib saying now that it's time that we

take care of, quote, our Palestinian people.

Well, here in America, I hope we do take care of our Palestinian people.

Rashid Talib,

who are your Palestinian people?

Because last I checked, you were a member of the United States Congress.

The lies, the deception, and the ramifications in one minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

I haven't even said good morning to Stu yet.

Hello, Stu.

Good morning, Glenn.

How are you?

Oh, my.

Gosh, am I fantastic?

Things are wonderful as usual.

Wonderful.

Good to hear.

They are fantastic.

Good for you?

Wonderful, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, Good.

You wouldn't know that.

I mean, actually, we do have some really good economic news.

There's a lot of economic news.

There's a lot of good coming in that.

That's a damn

trade thing.

I know.

What is he doing?

What is he doing?

Stop it, Mr.

President.

Please stop it.

It's really the one thing, but there's so many other positives so far.

It hasn't.

It hasn't made a massive impact, though.

It's definitely a drag on the economy if he would.

He bounced down 500 points this morning.

I mean, like, what are you doing?

Stop it.

stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it.

I just love these tariffs.

I love them.

He is a fan.

He's a fan.

And he ran on that.

Okay, here we go.

Let me talk to you a little bit about Norton.

Norton

is now a leader in a secure VPN.

Norton is

a trusted name that we have known for cybersecurity, is trusted for, I don't know how long, decades.

I mean, Norton's been around since the computer has been around.

Now, VPN is something that I think everybody needs.

And this is a way for nobody, make sure that nobody's tracking you, nobody's hacking into you as much as possible.

When you're online, nobody's able just to follow you around.

Really important, you may not think that you need a VPN now, but I'm telling you, in a year from now, everybody's going to have a VPN.

You're just going to need one.

VPNs, it is the future, and you can get the trust and the security that you require from Norton, the Norton Secure VPN.

Get the convenience of the connected world without the worries of online privacy or security.

Just head to norton.com/slash VPN.

Protection starts at 333 a month with an annual subscription.

It is norton.com/slash VPN.

So a Islamic jihad sniper fired at an Israeli soldier.

So what happened?

The Israelis fired back.

Then Hamas decided, let's go to town.

Over 600 rockets,

600 rockets fired into Israel.

Four Israeli civilians were killed, the first civilians killed since the seven-week Gaza war in 2014.

Why?

Because they just fire rockets.

They're looking to kill anyone.

Thank goodness that there wasn't school yesterday because

schools were blown up.

Kindergarten, did you see the picture of the kindergarten class?

I mean, they were so lucky that nobody was in those classes.

High-ranking Hamas operative was killed.

Now, he's the guy responsible for transferring money from Iran to Hamas and Palestinian

Islamic Jihad.

Everybody was going crazy.

It is, you know, what's really fascinating to me is

how

people

on the left, and I mean, I shouldn't say on the left, how Democrats,

the people that we know and love in our own family, how these people don't understand

what side they're on.

If you saw this weekend,

you saw the

liberals that were going after the Venezuelans in New York, the anti-Maduro Venezuelans.

Did you see that?

They were screaming at them in New York

about how

Maduro wasn't so bad and

these

anti-maduro people are just they just want war and and um and they're just trying to help Trump out.

It's it's it's nuts what's happening.

Uh then you have

then you have uh Rashida Talib

saying that um the New York Times is dehumanizing our Palestinian people who just want to be free.

Who are your Palestinian people, Rashid.

Can we play the audio?

I just heard on the four-minute buzz.

Play the audio, please, of

Elon Omar.

Listen to this.

Most of the things that have always been aggravating to me is that we have had a policy that makes one superior to the other.

And we mask it with a conversation that's about justice and a two-state solution when you have policies that clearly prioritize one over the other.

Such as?

I mean, just our relationship really with the Israeli government and the Israeli state.

And so when I see Israel institute

law that recognizes it

as a Jewish state and does not recognize

the other religions that are living in it and we still uphold it as a democracy in the Middle East, I almost chuckle because I know

that if

we see that in any other society, we would criticize it.

We would call it out.

We do that.

Excuse me?

Don't recognize others living in the area?

She goes on to compare it to Saudi Arabia.

Excuse me, that's an Islamic state.

And you can't even have a Bible.

There are churches, there are mosques everywhere in Israel.

Everywhere.

There is a huge Christian and Muslim population in Israel.

There are Christians and there are Muslims in the Knesset.

That's their House and Senate.

What do you mean?

Why aren't you speaking out about places like, I don't know, Iran or Syria or Turkey or Saudi Arabia or Libya.

Is it okay to have an Islamic state?

The day you come out and say it's wrong that it's an Islamic state,

I'll listen to you.

I won't agree with you, but I'll at least listen to you when you say it shouldn't be a Jewish state.

Now, we want to bring Jason in.

He's our chief researcher and

also military affairs expert.

We sent the USS Abraham Lincoln over to stand guard

against Iran.

This is coming from Iran.

Tell me, first of all, the high-ranking Hamas operative that was killed, responsible for

transferring money from Iran to Hamas, what do we know about that?

This is all linked.

This is all linked.

So

that specific high-ranking commander, just like you said, that's his job is to take the funds that come over from Iran and give that to Hamas, give it to Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and a number of other groups that Iran supports in Israel.

It's very telling that Islamic Jihad, that's the main Iranian group that's in Gaza, that they're the ones that started all this.

They started it.

They knew exactly what was going to happen.

They knew Israel

was going to retaliate.

Hamas then responds with overwhelming force.

Like you said, that's conservative as 600 rockets.

It's probably closer to 700.

Absolutely insane in a two-day period.

A two-day period.

Now, as soon as this aircraft carrier went into the Gulf, I was like, I know exactly what this is.

The rumors were saying that we decided to do this because we had gotten word that Iran was planning attacks on either U.S.

forces or U.S.

allies.

That, to me, says Israel all the way.

They knew what the strategy is.

And the strategy is good, Glenn, for attacking Israel.

It should have worked during the six-day war.

And it's all the Arab nations surrounding them, they have more people than Israel does.

It's a war of attrition.

So if they hit them from multiple sides, from multiple borders, Israel shouldn't be able to hold.

In fact,

Israel should not be here today.

It was divine intervention in my mind.

Yeah, from 67, it was divine intervention.

There was no way.

What do you think could hold it this time?

Besides divine intervention?

Divine intervention or the United States government going in and helping them because no one else will.

Absolutely no one else will.

And now is the people that you were just quoting are actually trying to change that.

They're trying to change public sentiment so that they don't have the social contract to go in and defend Israel.

But

it's looking like we have the administration in place, at least for now, that's going to take a stand with them.

But if we wouldn't show them that we were willing to put overwhelming force in the area to respond, because that's what this was.

I guarantee if this would have escalated to the next level, if we would have set this one out, then I can almost guarantee that Hezbollah would have been, they probably already have the orders.

If nothing happens, if no carrier moves into the area, Hezbollah moves down into Israel, moves down into Gaza, and then this becomes that war, just like the Six-Day War, multiple different borders, and Israel shouldn't be able to defend that.

Egypt wouldn't be in on it, though, this time.

Egypt would not be

Saudi Arabia wouldn't be in on it this time.

Nope.

So you would really only have what?

Maybe Syria, Turkey,

Lebanon,

Tehran.

Yep,

which is a very, which is very strange bedfellows because

the alliances are different now.

Turkey's Muslim Brotherhood, but they also hate Iran.

I don't know.

I have a hard time thinking that they would all come together in a six-day war type scenario.

But really,

it would be hard enough fighting with Hezbollah.

I mean, consider Israel's already fought a war with Hezbollah, and it didn't go very well.

Did not go very well.

They've had years and years and years to get the funding, to get the weapons.

That's why the blockade is there.

And that's something that Ilyan Omar or Rashid Talib are not even talking about.

They They keep calling this an occupation force.

There are no occupying troops in Gaza.

There are none.

You know, when Rashid said,

when are we going to stop dehumanizing Palestinians?

Well, I don't know.

I'm not dehumanizing Palestinians.

I don't know anybody who does dehumanize Palestinians.

Hamas does.

Except Palestinians and Iran.

They don't care about the Palestinians.

Yeah, it seems like when you want to strap a vest that explodes on a person, you're kind of dehumanizing them.

Even if it is to kill the Jews and that wonderful, glorious goal you have.

When you push mothers and babies to the front line knowing that they're going to be slaughtered.

When you put them next to the top terror targets to make sure that

to kill them, you have to also have other casualties that they can then exploit.

Who's dehumanizing these people?

You know.

When the Hamas leadership, when they fire rockets or when they make a decision from their headquarters, they know exactly what's going to happen.

They know a retaliation is going to come.

They know a bomb is going to come from the IDF.

What they do is they immediately abandon those buildings and they go into the civilian buildings next door.

So that when you hear that civilians die, that's by design.

They do that on purpose and they know how the media is going to cover it.

And the media falls for it every frigging time.

It's absolutely right.

I don't see here.

Here's where I think this is falling apart.

I think the Democrats are so overplaying their hand.

And not by choice.

I mean, did you see Nancy Pelosi come out this weekend going, you know, we really need to kind of stay in the middle ground?

I don't know if you saw this, but she's like, you know, we should be, you know, we really need to kind of remain moderate in the middle.

What she's saying is, we should just be crazy progressives,

not Marxist

socialist Islamicists,

because that's where they're headed.

And I just, I can't believe that the American people

are with

open borders.

They are with

Islamic terror.

I just don't see them standing with care.

I do see them caring about things like the Uyghurs.

You know, I tweeted something last night when I was going through all of this.

I'm for the Uyghurs.

I think what's happening in China to the Uyghurs is an atrocity.

Where's care on that one?

It's an absolute atrocity what's going on.

I mean, they could all be killed before America even or the world even wakes up.

They are liquidating people in China, this entire Muslim community.

And I'm all for standing up and making sure.

I mean, I was very disappointed when Donald Trump took that off the table.

In his negotiations this weekend, he said

he he wasn't going to push for the Uyghurs' release.

I have to tell you, I was really disappointed in that.

So how can I have Islamophobia if I'm for the Islamic people in China?

But I'm against the people, the Palestinians, because of the way they behave.

They're being used.

And they're being used by the Muslim Brotherhood.

They're being used by Hezbollah.

They're being used by everybody, including Talib,

including Omar.

They're being used.

I feel bad for the Palestinian people, but I am not for their cause because their cause is driven by terrorists.

And I just, I find it hard to believe.

But, you know, hey, I

told you once, I've told you a thousand times, you won't recognize your country.

I don't recognize my country anymore.

So I don't know if i can predict my country but if my countrymen are still awake or alive at all they're going to see the things that are happening and they are not going to want to stand with the extremists in the democratic party

we'll have more on this uh coming up uh

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

We break for 10 seconds.

Station ID.

Let me give you this one.

Okay, so

we had

the crazy liberals in New York

screaming at

the Venezuelans who were protesting outside of the Venezuela embassy.

Now, they were pro-no, anti-Maduro people inside the embassy.

Of course, it's all pro-Maduro, whether they personally are or not.

That's the stance of the government.

Maduro is the leader.

So you had all of these freedom people, all Venezuelans, they're protesting in front of their own embassy.

Now these guys have skin in the game because their families are there.

These white liberals come out

and they are just hammering, just hammering these people standing up for Maduro.

It's like,

how are you doing this?

How can you get up in the morning and go, yep, I'm on the right side.

I'm absolutely on the right side.

I'm for Maduro.

What?

What?

Just a simple bus driver who rose to prominence, Glenn, and is trying to do the right thing for the people.

It's amazing when that is the dynamic, when people who actually have family members there, who actually have been

handed the downsides of this whole situation in real vivid ways, are being protested by people who walk out out of coffee shops and are telling them how they should feel about socialism.

They'll defend it to the death, they usually do.

So, let's do another one because they'll defend this to the death, too.

They'll say, oh, no, no, no, this is an isolated incident.

Watch.

I don't know, did you see what happened in Philadelphia at the mosque in Philadelphia?

Yeah, a little bit, yeah.

Okay, so let me play the video here if we have the video.

This is from a mosque in Philadelphia where the kids are celebrating

Ummah.

We don't have it

earlier.

Ummah Day, where they were wearing Palestinian scarves, they read poetry and they sang songs.

And the songs were about killing for Allah

and killing for the mosque in Jerusalem.

and

subjecting their enemies of Allah to eternal torture.

Okay, so in Philadelphia at the mosque, they were singing songs about beheading infidels and sending Allah's

people to eternal torture.

Anybody who is against Allah,

when we come back, I'm going to share with you

what they said, how that happened.

And the press seems to be okay with it.

You're not going to be okay with it.

And I don't think your Democratic neighbors are going to buy into it either.

In a minute.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

And it's slow.

Let me tell you about ZipRecruiter.

Welcome to the program.

We were just talking off the air.

I just saw Endgame this weekend.

We won't go into details, but it is.

I found,

I didn't have anybody spoil it for me, but I had people say to me, oh, it's the greatest movie of all time.

It's a movie, blah, blah, blah.

And I was was like shut up i don't want to hear that because i don't want to up my expectations yeah um but it was it was not the greatest movie of all time but it is really satisfying it is i think it's solid yeah really solid and and probably the most satisfying ending to a to a series i've ever seen yeah you know star wars is ending they've got what episode nine coming out in December.

I can't imagine that that's going to be half as satisfying as this one was.

Two solid movies in that series.

Well,

maybe two in the entire series of Star Wars.

I love Star Wars movies, but really.

I think the first three.

Or the first three or so.

The first two.

Return of the Jedi.

The first two are re-walked.

The third one's solid.

It's not that good.

Go back and remove Return of the Jedi.

It is not that good.

That's not the problem with that.

It's not nearly as good as the first two.

These walks were just so stupid.

It was so stupid.

It was the precursor to Jar Jar Banks.

And then it went to the prequels, which we all know were disasters.

I thought,

I'll give the first first one back, even though it was basically they just remade the first movie.

I'll give episode, I guess, seven some credit.

I kind of like that one.

You know, eight,

you know, they really, it has not been a consistent success

for one of the biggest series of all time.

I mean, it's really been uneven.

It really has.

To be generous.

It's even generous.

Yeah.

And where Marvel has, well, up until recently, I thought has been really pretty even.

It's been really, really

very good

all the way along.

It's had some clunkers, but not like the consistency of Star Wars.

That thing was just destroyed.

It's kind of amazing that it's just powered through all that, though.

I mean, it's powered through three prequels that universally everybody hates, basically.

And that's why

because it had 30 years of love.

Yeah.

I mean, we loved it so much.

We've endured the last five that have been totally subpar.

Yeah.

And we still look at it as, oh my gosh, the new Star Wars is coming out.

How is it possible?

I knew.

I still look, I hated the last one.

And I can't wait for the next one.

Oh, I can't.

What other movie could you.

I can't think of another one like that.

That's how much power love it is.

To me, it is coming.

To me, it is turned.

Are you not looking forward to it?

I'm looking forward to it, but it's not like.

No, no, no.

It's not like I've got to be there.

Like, the new Godzilla is out.

I want to see that.

I am going the day it opens.

It looks hussy.

Oh, my gosh.

Have you seen the reboot of the Godzilla movies?

How many reboots have there been?

The latest one.

The latest couple have been.

Yeah, I saw the latest one, I think.

The one with Brian Cranston?

Brian Cranston.

That was solid.

Yeah, Rock Solid.

Is that related to this new one?

Yes.

It is.

Yes.

It's a continuation of this one.

I got to say, and just the height, like the trailer has sucked me in completely.

Oh, my gosh.

The trailer is fantastic.

Rafe and I were just on the end of our scenes.

We were like, yes!

I'm totally 11 years old when that thing comes on.

I don't know why.

Yeah.

Again, I was not a fan of Godzilla.

No, I was never a fan of the fan.

We used to joke about Godzilla.

It was so bad.

And isn't this like, doesn't it have like Mothra in it?

It's like a three-headed dragon.

And like, it's all the big characters together at once.

It's what the Japanese used to do occasionally.

They made Godzilla the hero, and he fought off the evil monsters.

It's so great.

That's what this one is, right?

No, that's what he did in the last one.

I still love it.

I don't know why.

It's again, like, I I have no, I sometimes will make fun of superhero movies because I don't have any interest in them.

Or, I mean, even like fantasy movies, like Lord of the Rings, everyone's like the greatest movies of all time.

I have no interest in them at all.

And then here I am pitching for Godzilla.

It's not a good idea.

I know it doesn't seem like your style.

No.

No.

It doesn't.

I don't know why.

Giant monster.

I like the disaster movies.

Like, I like the giant, you know.

Towering Inferno.

Yeah.

Like, I like.

Earthquake.

They're just, I don't know why.

There's no reason for me to like those.

None of those good ones, though.

None of them were good.

None of them were good.

And there's no good disaster movies for it.

No,

no.

San Andreas.

Did you save San Andreas?

I saw

that was horrible, but I had to see San Andreas.

Yeah, that was fun.

I like The Rock.

That's what I thought it was, The Rock.

And then he did one called Skyscraper.

Yes, I saw it recently.

You saw it.

Oh, yeah, I saw that.

It's The Rock.

You got to see The Rock.

It's fun.

It's not always the best one.

It's worth an on-demand run.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, you'll be bothered by some of the physics of it.

That's a real understatement, I'll bet.

It was well done for that type of movie, just like San Andreas was.

The ridiculous over-the-top disaster things going on, and so many times they're running away from the earth falling behind them, and there's towers falling nine inches behind them, and they're not moved.

They keep running.

It's that type of stuff.

As long as you don't mind overlooking that and you sort of celebrate it as the ridiculousness that it is.

It's like Day After Tomorrow where they outrun the instant freeze.

If we could just run into the library, we'll be fine.

Because the cold can never come into the library.

No.

Books repel cold.

We all know this.

No, it's the best insulation you can find.

Yes.

Yeah.

If it's going to instantly freeze people, animals,

I mean, instantly, library.

Library.

That's the only place.

New York Public Library.

That's where you go.

The windows.

No,

in a library, even the windows are fine.

They're fine.

They're fine.

It's all right.

You have to suspend disbelief in all of these movies, but

fair.

It's a fair assessment.

May I say this?

We're living in a time where you have to suspend disbelief to live.

That's true.

I mean,

I got to give you this headline.

I got to give you this headline.

Then we're going to take a quick break and come back with something else that Pat wants to talk about.

Where is it?

Here's one.

Atlantic readers advocate for diversity in medical schools.

No.

No, I don't want diversity in medical school.

I don't care if they're all Hispanic, all black, all white.

I don't care.

If they all belong, that's what I want.

Do they all belong there?

Do they belong in medical school?

That's downright dangerous.

If that's how you're going to choose your students?

No, I don't know what you're talking about.

No.

Then there's another story.

Gosh, where is it?

I don't have it now.

It's a great story about a biological man

who

says he's a woman,

is

a male, female opera star now playing a male on stage.

What?

Yeah, wait, what?

You can't even follow that.

He's a male.

Okay.

Claims to be a female.

All right.

He is a male, female opera star playing the role of a male on stage.

Which he biologically is.

So it's not much of a stretch.

Not really a stretch, but

I would just like to point out.

Wow.

And you think Godzilla is ridiculous?

Pat Gray Unleashed is

incredible.

It's every day.

It's incredible.

It is every day, and it's incredible.

And you did the story today about the Philadelphia mosque.

Yeah, hang on.

I want to come back with that.

First, let me tell you about Life Lock.

Synthetic identity theft.

Synthetic identity theft.

What the hell is this?

It's when a criminal creates an identity instead of just stealing an existing one.

The scam involves mixing real Social Security numbers or fake numbers with other pieces of information, names, addresses, and birthdates, to put together an entirely new identity.

This is one that happens with illegal immigration, doesn't it?

Because they take real social security numbers and tie them to fake identities to be, so they act, so they're somewhat like legal in their mind of like, oh, well,

we're on the tax rolls, so companies can hire them, but then someone with the real social security number gets screwed.

Did you see this?

A third of Guatemalans plan to immigrate to the United States.

Open the doors.

Come on down.

Come on down.

Anyway,

Promo code Beck.

So Pat Cray is joining us, and he's got

he's got something to say about what's happening in Philadelphia you know we've CNN covered the Covington kids relentlessly

and their bigoted hate towards Native Americans which turned out to be completely false however

they're quiet as church mice on the videotape that memory which is not even american news source, found coming out of Philadelphia.

Yeah, usually, you know, we've seen this before, so it shouldn't shock us because children are indoctrinated like this in the Middle East a lot of times.

But when it's in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, it kind of takes a different little feel.

There's a little different perspective on it.

I skipped, because this is in Arabic,

I skipped the songs where they have this performance,

they perform certain routines while the music is playing and they're talking about violence and killing Jews and all of that.

And then afterwards, some of the kids get together on stage and recite these poems.

And

here's, no, it's in Arabic again, so we're going to have to read the

translation.

But

our martyrs sacrificed their lives without hesitation.

They attained paradise.

The scent of musk emanates from their bodies.

They compete with one another to reach paradise.

Will Jerusalem be their capital city, or will the hotbed for cowards?

We will defend our land of divine guidance with our bodies, and we will sacrifice our souls without hesitation.

We will chop off their heads.

We will liberate the sorrowful and exalted mosque.

We will lead the army of Allah, fulfilling his process, and we will subject them to eternal torture.

Wow.

I mean, okay, so the excuse that they used at the

Slip Through the Cracks.

Yeah, muslim american society was it yeah it just wasn't vetted properly and that doesn't represent our uh

point of view at all can i ask you something can i ask you really so that's the first time those kids just came up with that on their own i have looked into genocide plays so many times i can't even count them no no

now listen they said it wasn't vetted properly right so that means they were probably

you should see what they caught yeah you should see what was vetted

It does make you wonder, doesn't it?

Yeah, it does wonder.

It does make you wonder.

I mean, there's no way, that's not like one, that's not like one phrase that you're like, okay, okay, but it kind of, no, no, there's no double meaning in this.

No, not, none at all.

None at all.

It's not like you took that out of context.

See, this goes on for, I don't know, five minutes or so

long in this.

For them to say what just wasn't vetted is ridiculous.

Yeah.

And that it doesn't really represent their point of view.

Well, okay, then how come kids just did that on their own?

Then how come memory found out about it?

How come it wasn't the Muslims in that community that came out of there and saying, hey, we have some bad Muslims that are running our mosque and they didn't vet this?

How come there wasn't a big outrage at the mosque?

This should chill people to the bone because clearly that's what the kids are being taught.

Yeah, because the kids also aren't upset about it.

Right.

Like you think the kids were saying

people.

Yeah.

They chop their heads off.

What?

So, you take that that has got to be standard in the way they're being taught at some level.

If I went to my kids right now and tried to, you know, had them read something that was about brutal murders, they would certainly question it, right?

I mean, like, you know, I mean, they're young.

If the kids would come home from church if that's what they were doing in

primary and they got out, and they would definitely come home going, I said, What did you do at church today?

We were doing a poem about beheading people and making people burn forever

and killing Jews and killing Jews in Jerusalem.

Well, wait, I mean, right, but I mean, the kids themselves would have caught that, they wouldn't have needed to come to tell you about it.

The kids themselves would have caught it.

Yeah, oh, yeah, how old are those kids?

I mean, I'm probably 10 or 12, right?

Yeah, I mean, old enough, you know, I think to recognize.

I don't know if I should be doing this.

Play it again.

I just want to see their faces as they're doing it.

Yeah, these kids are.

Totally matter of fact.

Yeah.

I will also say 12, 13.

Also, I say this.

They really get through these sentences quickly.

To the fact that Glenn, when translating, couldn't even keep up with the subtitles.

Usually it's the other way around with foreign languages where there's like 26 sentences and then they say the.

You're like, oh.

We will sacrifice our souls without hesitation.

We will chop off their heads.

We will liberate the Alex and Los.

We will lead the Army of Olive, fulfilling his promise.

Really fast reading, though.

Yeah.

I'll say that.

I'll say that.

You know what?

We might not agree with the whole beheading talk, but the reading

fundamental

there.

So we got that going for us.

It's in Philadelphia.

That's in Philadelphia.

Memory's supposed to be like pilling clips from Palestinian television in Iran.

Iran.

They're taking them out of our country now and translating them.

That is not a good sign.

What's being done?

CNN?

Is CNN covering this?

No.

I don't think at all.

I saw it on Fox this morning.

But Trump's tax returns are an interesting topic that we can spend the next 60 years of our lives on.

What's happening with Barr?

Is he going to show up?

Is he not going to show up?

Are they going to allow Mueller to testify?

Ooh, I can't wait to find out.

But there was a tweet about it this weekend.

Let's cover that in a segment.

Can you believe the president tweeted about the Kentucky Derby?

Oh, yes.

Let's quote it and go over it over and over and over and over again.

But this, let's not even bother covering it because you know what?

Wasn't properly vetted, guys.

Was not properly vetted.

If this was a clip that they had vetted, maybe we should pay attention to it, but it had not been properly vetted.

Are our Democratic neighbors

just burying their heads in the sand, or are they part of this?

I think they're burying their heads in the sand.

Yeah, and you know, because it's not on CNN or somewhere else, sometimes they don't have to be on the side.

Nobody's watching CNN.

CNN, literally, CNN was down another 25%.

Wow, 25%.

Who's watching that network anymore?

Seriously, who is watching that?

They're over.

CNN is over.

I think, though, a lot of it is, you've talked about this with Riaz Patel before, where we'd bring up these stories that were very fundamental to this turbo, and he'd never even heard the stories because he ran in Democratic circles.

I mean, he's a left-wing guy, although one we really respect.

But it's one of those things when once you're in your own room bubble.

You're in your own bubble.

You don't even hear these things.

And a lot of the people you're talking to that are Democrats have never heard the stories that are forming your worldview as a conservative.

And that's a real problem.

Well, we have to find a way to make friends

with

our neighbors and reach out to our neighbors because our neighbors would not put up with this.

They would see the warning signs everywhere if they heard these stories.

Imagine being evicted from your home for not paying your home equity loan loan back, but you never took out a home equity loan.

That would suck, wouldn't it?

I mean, literally evicted from your home.

We've been telling you about this couple in Portland, Bill and Betty.

They had no idea that somebody had taken their house and forged the title, gone over to a bank, taken all of the equity loans out that they possibly could.

Bill and Betty start getting these things.

They discard them.

We We didn't take out that loan.

The bank insists that, yes, you did take out that loan.

They're like, no, it's not us.

Next thing they know, the house is foreclosed on, and they've had to spend thousands of dollars to get their house back.

I mean, it's an absolute nightmare.

the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the Glenbeck program

I had a new friend of mine write me last week after our special on socialism and he said

Glenn Glenn I watched it he said what you said is vital it is it is happening just as fast as you think it is but you're missing something now this is a guy who was a professor at NYU

he was

he used to write white papers for the communist movement he was a

he was a communist if you will but he as he said to me more in theory it always ends in massive death

This is a theory.

I didn't think we're actually going to do it.

And he has,

he's woke, if you will.

And he said,

a major piece of this has finally been snapped in place in his mind.

I read a couple of chapters of a book he's working on over the weekend, and I needed to get him on right away because you need to hear this

about

new corporate socialism.

Holy cow, when you hear this theory, it all

kind of works.

And you see where we're headed if we don't turn around and wake up.

Corporate socialism with Michael Rechtenwald in one minute.

This is the Glen Beck Program.

You know, there is

something to

being able to work work on your own car.

You know, I remember when I was growing up, people would say, you know, because I got an MG, and people would say, oh,

you're preaching to the choir here.

Yeah, I know, you've got one.

I've got one now.

What year is it?

70?

78.

78.

And it does spend its share of time in the shop, I've noticed.

Now, they used to say, oh, that's because the English love to tinker with their cars.

No, they don't.

They just build crappy cars.

That's what it is.

I love them.

Yeah, but there is something about being able to fix your own car.

You can't do that now.

And the sensors just alone are a fortune.

If something goes wrong with your car and it doesn't have warranty, it's real trouble.

It's real trouble.

So get extended vehicle protection from car shield.

I have it on my trucks because I drive my trucks until the doors fall off.

And

I just brought one in about a year ago.

It was like $6,000 worth of sensors and stuff that had gone bad.

I had no idea, brought it in for an oil change.

When they told me, yeah, it's a $6,000 repair.

I freaked out.

Well, no, I don't want it.

I don't know if the truck is worth $6,000,

but CarShield had taken care of it.

That's the kind of peace of mind you can get if you have extended vehicle protection from Car Shield.

Go to carshield.com, 800-car6000, 800-car6000.

Use the promo code Beck.

It's carshield.com promo code Beck.

We go to Michael Rechtenwald now.

Michael, are you there?

Yes.

Hey, Glenn, how are you?

Good.

How are you?

Are you still with NYU or not?

I am, quote-unquote, retired.

You're on.

But it's, you know, I can't really say more.

Yeah, okay.

All right.

I'll let the audience infer what I mean.

Okay, all right.

So you're also the author of Springtime for Snowflakes, which I think is a fantastic story.

And

you are now writing a new book

based on a question that I gave you that you couldn't answer?

Yes, that's right.

And what was the question?

I think the question had to do with,

you know, what is it about the

socialism that

I guess it was more like, why are so many leftists out there?

And even in corporate America, we see this leftism all over the place.

So I wanted to investigate, you know, with all this woke capitalism going on, with all this, you know, leftist embraced by corporations of a leftist agenda.

I started trying to, this is really puzzling me.

I was like, what are they doing?

What are they, why are they promoting leftist ideals?

For like, for instance, Gillette,

they did the, you know, all that woke crap.

Nike took Colin Kaepernick.

All of these things.

And you think that the answer has been that they are just placating and going along with the times, but you don't buy that.

Not at all.

I mean, I don't think that a corporate, you know, corporate interests.

would

just placate one of their consumer contingents

and embrace this kind of ideology,

unless it actually benefited them in the long run.

And I think it does.

And I thought that through and thought about all the ways, in fact, which what I'm calling corporate leftism

benefits these global monopolistic corporations.

Okay, so this seems counterintuitive because you would say there's no way that these these companies now I can understand it with tech, like Google and Facebook, If they're in bed with the government, they have all of the information that they could ever need.

And I can totally understand that.

And it frightens the crap out of me.

But how can a company that is interested in serving its shareholders be for socialism?

Well, you know, what they want is kind of like I call it

a kind of socialism with Chinese characteristics, which is what they call China now.

And that is that there's monopolies on the top, and everybody else is socialism for everybody else.

In effect,

what is socialism really, but a monopolization of the means of production by the state and every other area of life.

So, all you do with corporate socialism is you replace the players who are controlling the means of production with corporate players, and

they're monopolies.

It's effectively the same for the people on the ground.

So, explain the difference between this and like national socialists, where

they did let the entrepreneur or the

experts in each field stay in charge of those companies.

Well,

this is globalist for one.

This is not nationalist.

It has to be globalist because

they need certain factors to be the case.

For example, they need

to erode the nation state.

The sovereignty of the nation state stands in the way of global monopoly.

They need to embrace leftist ideas for reasons that I explained.

For example,

these leftist ideas work perfectly for what they're trying to establish.

And that is

that

you have

they promote these new identity types, you know, transgenderism.

They're promoting gender pluralism.

They're promoting the breakdown,

which will end in the breakdown of the family.

They're promoting all of these various elements that actually serve them because this just makes the

entries,

it just makes it impossible to oppose what they're up to.

How do you

mean, again, how do you mean by

dividing people up

into all these groups, how does that benefit them?

Can you go over that?

First of all, you create new niche markets.

So if you continually create new niche markets, then you just cater to them.

So

I did see a story out this weekend that makeup for men is

the new

hot coming thing.

Right.

And

that's all intentional.

They have to get rid of traditional or conventional gender because this is the basis of the family.

If you get rid of a man, woman, you have basically half a layer or more to getting rid of the family as such.

And what's the reason for getting rid of the family?

The family is a space or a buffer space between

state or corporate power.

And

so it's a space where people can learn different things and have a different perspective that is not necessarily that of the dominant powers like the like the state itself or corporation who are taking the place of the state in effect now.

So what I'm talking about is a corporate governance almost that's taking place.

For example, if you look at Google and Facebook and all of the

big techs, what they're doing is effectively eliminating the public sphere or public space

in two ways.

One, they make it irrelevant.

If you're not saying something online, if you're not reaching people through social or mass or social media, you really have no voice, right?

So, they the public sphere, in effect, irrelevant.

Number two, then you control what's said on those very spaces because

they don't have the obligation on the state to grant you the First Amendment rights, and they're not granting them, as we see.

So I was in church this weekend, and we were talking

about how

the

young men and young women in the church are no longer really even talking to each other.

They're not, they're all living in a virtual world.

They don't, they just don't behave the way

people have behaved for forever.

Now they're just living in this virtual world, and that's what you're talking about, how they control everything.

Yeah, there's a couple of reasons why that's happening.

I mean,

the marriage rates are down, of course, birth rates are down.

This is basically a function of keeping some sort of fractiousness between men and women in order to keep these birth rates down and so forth.

And this is, of course, explains the immigration

quite a bit.

But also, yeah, they're living in a virtual world.

Everybody is sort of like a monad sitting on the web.

And all of the real communications are taking place there.

And then they're censored and they're controlled.

And, you know, it's not, you know, as you saw, they just threw off several people that are are considered dangerous

from Facebook.

And this is going to get worse.

They're already curtailing our rights by virtue of making the public sphere irrelevant and then controlling by virtue of being private enterprises what happens or what is expressed on their platforms.

And then they're just saying, okay, then they're also limiting anybody who might be challenging this perspective.

And that's why these people are being cut out.

So

they're not only doing the people that are challenging, but they're also, if you defend them, you're also going to lose your status online.

Absolutely.

You can't defend them at all.

If you go online and you try to defend some of the people that were just depersoned, if you will, Friday,

you'll be just vilified like them and you'll probably be next.

Facebook said, Facebook said, even defense of those who have been deplatformed is cause to de-platform you.

Again, I'm calling this a digital gulag, in effect.

They're putting people in effect in digital gulags where they can't reach anyone else, and they're disappeared from society.

It's happening like crazy, and it's a very pernicious development.

So they're acting like both corporations and states at the same time.

They're exercising the prerogatives of statehood and the corporate prerogatives of profiteering.

And

this is a very serious danger.

Okay, Michael Rechtenwald, author of Springtime for Snowflakes, which is a great book, about his journey and what woke him up and finally got him at the university level to say, enough is enough.

And

it's also the reason why he's now retired, quote unquote.

Michael Rechtenwald will continue in just a second with him first.

Let me just take one minute and tell you the housing market is crazy.

Homes are going fast.

There's a bidding war that is starting back again.

When it is your turn to buy, you need to be pre-qualified so you can go in and you can bid with confidence and not lose that bid.

Start the pre-qualification in as little as 10 minutes with no upfront fees.

If you choose American financing, you're going to work with a salary-based rep who is going to customize a loan to meet your needs with a low-rate and fast closing.

I will tell you that it's interesting.

I was talking to a guy who does mortgages for homes just yesterday, and we were talking about

what's coming.

And

he said, What's crazy is the number of people that will say, No, no, no, but I'm going to get a raise, you know, probably next year.

And how risky people

will be and how willing they are to take on the extra burden and just blue sky it.

Don't do that.

Don't do that.

American Financing work for you.

They're not going to blue sky things.

They're not trying to sell you a mortgage.

They're trying to find the right one for you.

Call 800-906-2440.

That's 800-906-2440 or AmericanFinancing.net.

We break for 10 seconds, station ID.

Okay, so the borders break down,

which

allows these corporations to do business anywhere.

One government,

it allows them, again, to not have to worry about the laws

everywhere else.

Is there any thought to freedom,

Michael,

how are they getting past the idea of what's happening to our societies is not leading to more freedom?

Not at all.

In fact, I call it the simulation of freedom.

So what they're doing is because they have these platforms where people are putatively able to express themselves

across

a vast plethora of platforms, it looks like freedom.

But the terms

of the discourse are completely set by them.

So they are constraining it to such a degree, and we don't know where this is going to stop.

You know, this idea of the Overton window, which is like the allowable space for political discourse, it's going to narrow and narrow and narrow and narrow.

And then sooner or later, it'll even come down on the necks of liberals.

And they'll see that

they've been celebrating

the unpersoning and the gulaging or the digital gulaging of all these people that they consider enemies.

Well, this could happen to them.

It will happen to them.

I think it already is.

And to some regard, I think it already is.

I've had Joe Lieberman, who was a senator for the Democrats for years, presidential, vice presidential nominee in the year 2000.

And he told me that he felt a lot of the

old-style Democrats, they're now terrified of the new style Democrats because they're not progressive.

They are radicals.

Right.

They could meet to them.

They could shame them for not being, you know, embracing the Green New Deal.

They could do any number of things to totally ruin them.

I mean, you know, not that I have that much sympathy for them, but I mean, it's happening already, of course, to Biden.

And, you know, this is true.

Yeah, they will turn on a lot of people.

You know, and it happened in the Soviet Union.

So even true believers were sent to the gulag, were shot in the head.

And it really didn't matter.

If they changed the terms just a slight bit, you're done.

So, Michael, when you watched the special last week, you wrote to me and said it's vital, and then you said

that

you're writing as fast as you can because

you sense the same thing I sense.

Can you put into words what you're feeling?

Sure.

Like you're saying, they're hastening, for some reason,

the development of a worldwide socialism, okay?

And it is going to be an erosion of our rights.

It is going to impoverish us for the most part,

not everybody, but a lot of people could suffer poverty over this.

And it's going to be persecutorial just like the Soviet Union was.

And it's just a nightmare.

And it's very frightening.

And I'm trying to I was trying to figure out how are they up to this and why are they doing this?

And why are corporations, in effect, seeming to support it?

And I think people like

Cortez and, of course, Bernie Sanders, they're just shills for these corporate socialists.

They're spreading on the ground and trying to get the permeation of socialist ideology everywhere they can.

Because

this socialism will benefit these monopolists in the end.

And that's really what I think is the full picture of what's happening.

So, who are these monopolists that you're talking about?

Who are these?

Well,

you mentioned

first said the avant-garde of this is, of course, what I'm calling the Google Archipelago.

And that's the title of my next book, Google Archipelago.

They are the leading edge, the digital giants.

And they are paving the way for the rest of this.

And they actually believe it.

These are believers.

And in the chapter of your book that I read

yesterday,

you lay it out very clearly that the problem is their ideology is everywhere.

It's in all of the base code.

Yes, it's even in the technology.

And I'm going to show how it's actually in the algorithms, of course, but it's in the very infrastructure of the the entire internet and web.

It is unbelievable, but I couldn't believe it when I started putting the pieces together.

It starts with this very utopian, leftist, communalist idea of, you know, the commons, right?

And the internet is going to be this free space of sharing.

This is the whole story in the 90s.

Now, just like the Soviet Union turned from that utopianism to say a centralized state authoritarianism, that's exactly what's happening here.

It's going from this utopian commons to the cloud, which is under control of information in a centralized place by a particular elite.

It just happens to be digital and it just happens to be private in this case.

And they don't see themselves becoming the bad guys because they're just so convinced they're the good guys?

Yeah, I mean, they think they're spreading the wealth of technology to the rest of the world.

That, you know, it is the, you know, they're still, they're still trading on this idea that the internet would

serve to enlighten everybody, that it would spread literacy far and wide.

You know, everybody will have access to information and all that.

So they're still trading on the old utopian ideals of the

commons while they're closing the gates,

as it were, on the centralized control.

Michael Rechtenwald, you can follow him him at anti-PCNYU prof.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

My Patriot Supply is our sponsor this half-hour.

If your first impulse after you hear of a storm coming or a problem.

Or a missile launch in North Korea.

Yeah.

That happened this weekend, didn't it?

It did.

Short range.

It doesn't technically violate their agreement.

But again, that seems to be getting fired up yet

another time here.

We're going going to have to deal with this.

Yeah.

And then we sent an aircraft carrier off to the coast of Iran.

So that's really good news.

If you heard any of this and you're like, I better run to the grocery store, you're probably not prepared.

You're probably not prepared.

This is

an amazing weekend, really, truly an amazing weekend for a few things.

First of all, the Trump administration is sending a very clear signal to Iran, back off.

They're sending an aircraft carrier over to the Middle East to specifically

warn Iran that we're not not going to take this.

And what this is, is some sort of an attack coordinated by Iran on the United States troops or its allies.

That's what we got word of.

I think it's probably our allies being

Israel.

However, we'll see.

Let's just keep our eye on it.

This weekend, we had Rashida Tlaib

tweeting out, we got to stop dehumanizing our Palestinian people who want to be free.

We had Elid Omar, I mean, Alan Omar coming out and standing for the Palestinians and

this fight against Islamophobia

in Israel.

It's nuts.

Then,

a week ago, was it a week ago, two weeks ago,

when did the Maduro thing, when did the United States recognize

Gowaido?

The date you're looking for?

Yeah, was it a week, two weeks, three weeks?

Longer than that?

So did you know that Code Pink

took over the embassy in New York?

No.

I've been watching this embassy thing and watching the debate that was happening outside.

I didn't realize that it was Code Pink inside the embassy because Donald Trump kicked everybody out of the Maduro regime.

He said, closing the embassies, go home.

We don't don't recognize you as the government.

So when that happened, Code Pink took over and is occupying the Venezuelan embassy in New York.

Now, this isn't new for them.

You know, you got to remember, they've helped Hamas and Hezbollah.

They are really a militant, anti-U.S., anti-freedom kind of movement.

But they were there and they refused to leave.

They said, quote, we feel that the elected government and the government that holds power and the government that is recognized by the United Nations is the Maduro government, and they deserve to have their embassy here.

It was late January, by the way,

when they first recognized Guido as the actual president.

So think of this.

Here are the liberals saying they take over an embassy.

They occupied an embassy here in the United States, and they are occupying it for Maduro, a guy who's running over his own people, starving his own people,

how many are on that side?

How many are on the Rashidah Talib and Omars side?

How many people really are

so

virulently

liberal?

Is that what you're looking for?

Anti-Israel

that they are dismissing what's happening in even Philadelphia.

They're not talking about what happened in Philadelphia.

We played for you last hour a mosque that said, oh, we just didn't vet these poems.

No,

no, there's no way that's an excuse.

These poems that these little kids in this mosque were reciting were about beheading people,

killing all the Jews, taking the Temple Mount back.

I mean, it wasn't a vetting problem.

That is an extremist mosque, and it's in Philadelphia.

Nobody's reporting on it on the left.

Very consistent with the way they handle these situations.

When you look at the border, look at what we've been told about the border, that it's not a problem.

Well, we know it's a problem now.

You even have

Thomas Friedman going on CNN last week and saying, no, this is a real problem.

We really do need to build a wall.

And yet,

that's not all all we've been told.

We've been told it's not a problem.

We've been told that things like MS-13, which is this horribly violent gang, that that's nothing to worry about, America.

Yeah, it's fear-mongering from the president.

How many times have we heard that?

Really, every time he's brought up the name MS-13, he's been mocked by the media.

And we've said over and over again, look,

this is a real thing, right?

Like, this is MS-13 is a real danger, and they are committing crimes in this country frequently.

We've said, we've cited this stat many times, but

the MS-13 is responsible for murdering people in the United States at 4.3 times the amount of school shootings.

So, MS-13, MS-13 is 4.3 times the amount of people are murdered by this gang than all school shootings combined, all the schools.

And obviously, we take school shootings seriously and we should, but do we take MS-13 seriously?

We clearly don't.

And what's kind of been interesting to me through this entire border crisis situation is they are now, as you point out, Friedman, even admitting that this is a crisis.

The New York Times op-ed board has an op-ed today saying, give Trump the money for the border.

They're actually now saying, yeah, it's this big of a crisis.

Give him the money.

They still don't want the wall, but the Trump administration, as we've reported many times, has been asking for ways to handle this crisis even without the wall.

They're saying, okay, you don't want the wall right now.

Give us money for more detention beds.

Give us money for more resources on the border.

You need to give us this money.

And the Democrats are the ones stopping it.

And that's why this crisis is

getting out of control.

But one thing, question Glenn, I asked a few weeks ago is,

if it's true that we're getting all these refugees and asylum claims from Central America

and these people are really fleeing violence, this isn't one of those things where they cross the border and just give themselves up because they know they're going to be released into the country, which is what we've speculated on.

What is the cause of all this strife in Central America?

Now, look, we know

this is not the paradise.

Central America has lots of problems with corrupt governments and crime, drugs, and everything else.

We know this.

But why is it that much worse?

Why haven't we seen endless exasperated reporting about the new specific dangers in these areas that would cause people to come at such an increased rate suddenly?

We've talked about what's happening in Chicago.

We've talked about what's happening with these groups that are encouraging these caravans, not because of asylum claim, but because they want something different to happen in the country.

They want the country to be overwhelmed.

They want the system to be overwhelmed.

They want a change to, I mean, in the case of Chicago, legitimately, as admitted, a communist, socialist, communist government.

I mean, that's what they're particularly looking for.

And there's a lot of money flowing in that direction.

But

if these were true asylum claims, where's the reporting on this?

Right?

New York Times finally did it.

They went down there for three weeks to Honduras, and they have a very lengthy, detailed story about the strife being faced in Honduras.

And you're not going to believe what the cause of it is.

MS-13.

Suddenly, they actually are a danger.

Suddenly, they are committing all these terrible crimes.

Suddenly, they are the threat we've been telling you they are for this entire time because now that it's the cause of all these asylum claims, they want you to think it's a danger.

So now it's reported that MS-13 is, it's mentioned in this article 39 times.

Oh, my gosh.

39 times in one article.

Do they mention that MS-13 is here because of our open borders?

Did they mention that at all?

No, that's not really the focus of the article, I will say.

I mean, look, it is worse in Honduras.

And by the way, that applies to almost everything that you could describe in the difference between the United States and Honduras.

Yes, it's worse in Honduras.

That is not what asylum claims are for, however.

They're for very specific things in related to the government and the way they're handling these situations.

It is not designed because you have,

you know, there's a lot of terrible things that can happen to you in a country that does not qualify you for asylum or refugee resettlement.

And so they're trying to make this

into an issue that would be covered by

asylum, but it, you know, traditionally has not been.

But if you make it into this giant story and make it about MS-13, maybe you can pull that off.

This is an incredible thing, Glenn.

We're told that MS-13 is not a threat, yet we have to accept all of these asylum claims because MS-13 is such a a threat.

It is completely the opposite of what they've been telling us this entire time.

And, you know, I got to say,

is there a moment when these organizations step back and say, look,

we have done a terrible job on this issue.

Let's be honest about it.

We've been denying there was a crisis the whole time.

We've been saying MS-13 is not a threat the whole time.

And now we're making precisely the opposite case.

Is Is there a moment where they examine?

Is there a moment where they reflect on what they have done over the past few years?

Because in this, in this constant jihad against the president of the United States and his administration, they've overlooked so many things.

They've crossed so many lines they promised they would never cross.

And I think that's the most frustrating part about it.

We all know this is a real crisis.

We've known it for a long time.

You might not like the approach that Donald Trump takes on these things.

But I I mean, you have to admit the reality here.

And the reality is that we really, really need more resources on this border.

We do.

And the fact that, again, Republicans and the president, and we've had problems with both of them over the years, but the fact that the Republicans and the president are the only ones actually suggesting solutions to this problem, or at least attempted solutions to this problem, is pretty revealing.

More than 16 million people live in Guatemala,

and 5 million say they have plans to immigrate to the United States.

The desire to immigrate to the United States, in part by 60% of the respondents, say they have friends and relatives in the United States.

90% of those say they communicate with them often.

We are, this is a, this is a land rush.

I don't want to say it's a land grab.

It's a land rush.

We have people coming from the other side of our border that just want to live here, and I welcome them.

I do.

Come the right way.

I welcome you.

Bring skills with you.

Don't live off of us,

but make us stronger.

I welcome you.

But

when you have such dishonest people in charge here in America that are recreating everything, I will tell you this, Honduras and Guatemalans, don't come here for this reason.

We're building exactly what you already have.

We're building an unbelievably corrupt government that controls every aspect of your life.

And if you're not part of the chosen class,

if you're not the right person, the right point of view,

wanting to build the right mousetrap, they're going to hold you down just as much in Guatemala as they will eventually here in America.

No need to run.

Because the longer we keep this border

open, and the longer we play these little games, and the longer we deny truth, the closer we become to what you are trying to flee.

I'm so tired of.

Hillary Clinton Clinton said the election was stolen from her again.

What?

Oh, the weekend.

Again?

Yeah, it was stolen from her.

It was stolen from her.

And Kamala Harris said that the election in Florida and

in Georgia was stolen, and she's really concerned that Donald Trump is going to steal this one, too.

It's going to be

a long 18 months.

You are going to need some energy.

You are going to need dawn to dusk from Brick House Nutrition over the next 18 months because this is going to

I

have to use Brickhouse Nutrition you know I'll give you a great example of when I used Dawn to Dusk recently the freaking Mueller report you want to talk about a just a boring document 448 pages of trying to get through that and focus on it and then get to and review it on two different shows

I mean, it was not fun.

It's not fun.

And that's why I love Dawn to Dusk because it's one of those things where, you know, I used to be on the energy drink kick all the time, which is, you know, it's something that's, you know,

you can get on too much, and those things are freaking expensive, too.

I'll be honest about it.

You can get those two, three bucks a pop at every gas station.

Dawn to Dusk gives you a 10-hour energy supplement.

It's a smooth

introduction to energy.

You don't have to get, it's not like a burst and then you crash.

It's not like that at all.

There's no crash on it.

There's no jitters on it.

It's like some of these other products.

I've used Dawn to Dusk for a long time.

As you know, we did this socialism special last week.

Long day.

You got to be focused for it.

Dawn to Dusk was a huge help.

And

I think it's also

critical to understand that as I've been telling candidates who have come to see me, you can run the best campaign.

You can even become the nominee.

And you can have the election stolen from you.

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

Is she talking about herself or is she talking about like Campbell Gillum?

She can't be.

You could run the best campaign.

Come on.

Well, she probably thinks she ran the best campaign.

She's her.

Wow.

I don't know.

I mean, she seems to be in complete denial about what happened.

Yeah.

And there's this thing going on with Democrats where they elevate these people who lose elections to places of prominence.

Like, they're like, well, will Stacey Abrams run?

Run for president?

She couldn't even win governor of Georgia.

Betto O'Rourke?

the guy lost to Texas to Ted Cruz.

I mean, it was mildly closer than some other Democratic races, but only by a couple of points.

Other people that you don't know their name at all right now.

If

you're not in Texas, you don't know their name at all.

They lost by like one or two points more than Betto in that race.

It was a good Democratic year, so there were close races even in Texas.

That being said, I mean, Betto was obviously showing now that he's not that big of a candidate.

Andrew Gillum, the guy, I mean, was heavily favored to win that race in Florida and couldn't pull it off.

When you lose, you're not supposed to be promoted.

And that seems to be the Democratic way now.

Well,

there's a problem also with Biden, and the left has started to recognize it.

We'll go there next.

This is the Glembeck program.

I mean, I think we just have to start with the audio.

If we can, let's just play the audio, please, of Tom Arnold in this bizarre pro-Nazi tirade.

Listen to this.

Yeah, I'm going to endorse a Nazi against you.

Oh, my God.

Oh, man.

Really, man?

But, okay.

compared to Trump, Trump's the head Nazi.

Trump is the worst person ever.

Let me tell you something about it.

Is he really the worst person you've ever met?

Not the worst person I've ever met.

Well, maybe.

No, because he's a president.

He has all that power.

I'm going to tell you right now,

he's a coward.

He is a traitor.

He doesn't stand up for this country.

And I'll tell you what, he's putty.

Forget about women.

He's a white supremacist.

He's a white supremacist, and that's why I would endorse a Nazi over Donald Trump.

They didn't have any white supremacy in there.

No, no, not, no, no, no.

Superior race?

That kind of thinking never entered their mind.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

He married Roseanne.

Are you really going to go

to him for advice on anything?

No, I don't.

I mean, what does he do now?

Is he working like at a...

Seemingly just political commentary.

He just yells about things on the internet, which is interesting because he also recorded Michael Cohen recently.

He had become friends, I guess, with Michael Cohen, then

recorded him without his knowledge and then released.

Oh, that's not illegal.

Well, I don't know if it's depends on which state you have.

In California.

In California, it is.

I think California, both sides have to know you're being recorded.

I don't know the rules.

I know the rules.

The rules are different in every state.

In every state.

I mean, maybe Michael Cohen knew.

Well, we should not be shocked.

He's got a press conference today, by the way.

Would it shock you that those two are just dumb and dumber together?

Oh, yeah.

No, not.

I mean, he just

Cohen's.

Sad.

It was a press conference first, though.

You can't go to prison without a press conference, obviously.

It's in the Constitution.

I want my phone call and my press conference.

Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

Apparently, according to Clinton veterans, they say attacks on on Hunter Biden are giving them painful flashbacks of 2016.

President Donald Trump's political allies and his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, have begun mobilizing to cast a legal cloud over Joe Biden, demanding that the Justice Department should open an investigation that could ensnare the former vice president as he launches his 2020 presidential bid.

Biden's conflicts are too apparent to be ignored, and we should investigate them quickly, said Rudy Giuliani.

Yeah, he's right on that one.

And we should have been doing this a long time ago, not just because he's a presidential candidate, but because Joe Biden is absolutely corrupt.

He is as corrupt as the Clintons ever were.

They're cut from the same cloth.

They come from the same school.

The suggestion of illegal behavior and the specter of putting a political opponent behind bars sounded familiar to some senior campaign ads to Hillary Clinton, who believe Trump and his allies are running a version of their crooked Hillary playbook from 2016.

You know, you don't have to, as we have seen, Ted Cruz is not a liar, but he got the Lion Ted moniker, and there was no way to beat that.

Usually you earn your nicknames.

Usually you have to, you know, like low energy Jeb.

I think he earned that one.

I think he earned that one.

Pretty low energy.

Yeah, pretty low energy.

Crooked Hillary, she earned that one.

I mean, decades in office earning that one.

Generally speaking, the nickname thing or these big pushes, like flip-flopper for John Kerry, only work when they reinforce something that people already kind of believe.

Right.

Right?

Like, so these new, like

a scandal about corruption, especially that late in the presidential race, really hurt Hillary because people already believed she was corrupt.

And then they saw, geez, another one of these?

We're going to have to deal with this the entire time.

Forget it.

I'm going the other direction.

And that seemed to have been the difference in the election, you know, by multiple studies that have looked back at it.

So that changed that, you know, 10 days before the election, people reinforcing yet again how corrupt this woman was, not helpful to her or her campaign.

So this is from Politico.

The attacks on Biden pivot off the lucrative business activities of his son, Hunter, during the Obama administration.

Most notably, Hunter's work on the board of a Ukrainian energy energy company, Burisma Holdings.

As part of a long campaign to pressure Ukraine to combat corruption in 2015 and 2016, then-Vice President Biden leveraged financial aid to the country in order to persuade the government to fire the country's top prosecutor.

The prosecutor had been investigating Burisma at the time.

Now,

when you say a lucrative business deal,

you know, a lucrative business deal might be like

$100,000.

$250,000.

Imagine that's a shit.

A quarter of a million dollars?

That's a lot for a business deal, Glenn.

Yeah.

What about a million?

Can you imagine a million-dollar business deal?

That's lucrative.

Yeah, well, in Ukraine, I think he got $1.5 million.

A million dollars, a million and a half dollars for a business deal.

That's a lot of money, Glenn.

I don't know.

Do you have your facts straight on that one?

I think that's too much.

I mean, a million and a half dollars.

You can't possibly have that one locked down.

Well, in China, it was a billion and a half.

Hello?

I just wanted to let that one set in.

Yeah.

A billion and a half dollars.

A billion and a half.

And that was just one of the two countries.

One of the two countries.

One of the two countries.

So, and the problem with Ukrainian energy company is Burisma, it was owned by thugs,

owned by this really, really corrupt oligarch who also had been taking money from the United States government, and he lost it someplace.

He lost it.

It was crazy.

It happened sometimes.

Yeah, I think that was a billion dollars.

But it was, he don't, he doesn't remember what.

Well, he remembers putting it into the bank, but he also owned the bank, and it was kind of a money laundering bank.

But he swears the last time he saw it, it was in that bank.

Okay, that was your tax dollars.

Then Burisma also was under investigation by the FBI

for trying to get our nuclear secrets from Americans in our nuclear weapons program.

Well, several of them went to jail.

So, Burisma, Hunter Biden is doing business with Burisma.

He's on their board of directors, getting paid by them at this time.

So the Attorney General comes in, and

their version of the Attorney General, and he starts looking at Burisma.

Well,

he is corrupt, and he's looking into a lot of different things.

So Joe Biden coincidentally comes over and says, Hey, I'm not going to give you any of this American aid, which they had to have or the country would have collapsed.

I'm not going to give you any of this aid unless unless you fire that guy.

Now, was the guy corrupt?

Yes.

Did they pick up after he left the

investigation into Burisma?

No.

Why?

Well, those

in the government now say it was because of Joe Biden's pressure, because he didn't want his son involved in any of this.

So

is there anything wrong with that?

Well, it looks pretty bad.

And then his other very lucrative deal was $1.5 billion of Chinese money.

And not like Chinese, like, hey, here's, you know, Hop Ching and his bank account.

It was from the government of China, 1.5.

And what did Hunter Biden's son help them do?

Buy an American company that had technology that can be used in stealth.

And by the way,

this company that he's representing in China also was one that was trying to get our stealth secrets, did,

and then built their own stealth plane.

That's the company that was paying Hunter Biden, or Hunter Biden was buying in with Chinese money.

And then he said, hey, well, we can really help your new stealth plane if we buy this American company.

Yeah,

it's amazing.

And the article about it is also fascinating because you can see, number one, they see how effective these attacks are.

Number two, they're trying to get out ahead of it.

They're trying to basically say, this is not real.

We want you to know it's not real before it starts picking up steam.

This, of course, doesn't work in the modern age, right?

Like, people are going to find the truth either way.

I think the other part that's interesting about it is one of the things they're highly critical of is the very occasional time a mainstream publication picked up on the Clinton accusations.

They cite 60 Minutes in the story.

They cite the New York Times in the story, both of which did do some coverage of Clinton cash and all of the corruption around the Clintons.

And they did that with all of their mainstream media, peer-reviewed type of attitude.

They looked at it.

I'm sure, started very skeptically with it, but came to the fact that, yeah, this stuff actually did happen, and here are the accusations, and here's how it laid out.

You got to make your own decision.

They didn't obsess about it, but they did report it, and that gave it quote-unquote credibility.

And what they're warning on in the article, who was there, was it Politico that did this article?

Yeah, this is Politico.

And what they're warning on kind of in the article is, hey, New York Times, this time, don't pick it up.

Hey, 60 minutes, this time, don't fall down this, because look what we cost us.

Last time you went after these Peter Schweitzer claims, and what happened?

Well, Donald Trump won.

You want that to happen again?

It's almost like a warning to these mainstream media sources not to go down this road.

And the issue here is that the information is accurate.

And it's not just Peter Schweitzer.

It's also John Solomon, who works at the Hill now, has an AP and Washington Post reporter for 20 years, a man who has no problems with credibility as a journalist.

And yet here we are.

They're trying to say, they're trying to warn their colleagues, guys, don't do this because you're going to hurt the cause.

That's not what journalism is supposed to be.

The Times is making itself an accomplice to a scheme whereby Trump likely intends to put his potential Democratic opponent under federal investigation for partisan reasons.

No,

no, it's not partisan reasons.

This needs to be investigated.

Hunter Biden's international business dealings from China to Ukraine deserve scrutiny, says Peter Schweitzer, a friend of this program.

The left is also blame-shifting on a story we've covered extensively on television, the Biden family's sketchy ties to the Ukraine.

It is true.

His sketchy ties to the Ukraine are really quite frightening

because you see the possibility

of

a government official enriching his family by using your tax dollars and the clout of the United States, and the same thing in China.

And if we don't get a handle on our presidents and our elected officials, and I think personally, this has happened on both sides of the aisle.

I could be wrong, but

there's just nobody looking into it.

And that's what puzzles me.

Is it really, does no one care about this on Capitol Hill, or are too many people dirty from it?

And my guess is too many people are dirty.

But if we don't stop our presidents, vice presidents, our,

you know, John Kerry was the Secretary of State.

His son was the business partner in the China deal.

His son was.

John Kerry was the Secretary of State at the time.

So Joe Biden, the vice president, who was put in charge of the China deal, along with John John Kerry, their two sons travel at the same time that they're trying to do deals with China

for political purposes for the United States.

The sons are both meeting with the Chinese government about a $1.5 billion investment in their firm.

Wow, that's coincidental.

That doesn't deserve a look-see?

Of course it does.

And that's the problem.

It does deserve a a look-see, and that's why they don't want you to look at it.

All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about Goldline, Goldline's legal tender bar.

Did you see what happened to the stock market just last night?

U.S.

stocks index dropped 500 points.

The won tumbled.

The Australian dollar tumbled.

Things can change quickly.

You know, last night I was reading about how Donald Trump said, yeah, we got to look at these tariffs.

Got to look at these tariffs, and I think we're going to double the tariffs on China.

Please, please, Mr.

President, stop.

You're hurting your chances to win.

Stop it.

It doesn't help the economy.

It hurts the economy.

He just doesn't believe that.

I know he doesn't.

But all the people around him do.

I don't, I mean,

somebody's got to convince him.

Anyway,

China's stock market fell as well.

At the same time that this was happening, we sent an aircraft carrier to Iran

to let them know there's a line in the sand and you violate this and we will strike back.

The story that I read led with oil prices could go up.

Yeah, we could also be in a global war.

I mean, things are so unstable right now.

Money is going to change.

I guarantee you.

In the next 10 years,

the U.S.

dollar is not going to be like the U.S.

dollar now.

In that transition, what does the world look like?

Well, may I suggest you go to gold and goldline.

Get some of your money and some of your investment in gold.

Somebody's got to have something left when we restart this thing.

Goldline at goldline.com.

They'll take your phone calls.

They'll answer your questions.

They don't want you to buy anything necessarily today.

They want you to do your own homework and become a reasoned investor in gold, like I am.

By the way, speaking of the Clintons, an evening with the Clintons

is

coming to an end.

It's coming to an end.

No.

Don't say it.

Don't say it.

I'm very sad.

Why?

Is it just they're too busy, too in demand?

Too in demand.

Too many people causing chaos because they just all want to get into the theater to hear their words.

Last night was their last show at the MGM.

And you know,

when I go to Vegas, what I want to do is go to see a Bill and Hillary show.

Oh, yeah.

I thought it was going to be one of those longtime residencies.

Did you?

Oh, my gosh.

Yeah.

That's what I thought.

It's one of those things where they would just be years and years doing the same show and just talking about how the election was stolen from them.

In fact, a couple of them were, I think.

Yeah,

it was good.

And she just wears feathers

in the Vegas version of that.

Strangely, so does he.

But

to each his own.

So they were like $500 for these seats.

The Seattle event went as low as $20 a ticket.

The LA show went as low as $6

a ticket.

And

Vegas was $2.

Two bucks.

Two bucks.

There's a lot of shows in Vegas.

I mean, the homeless.

The homeless could go and

have a good rest.

Not true with Al Gore, though.

No, really.

I will say, yeah, because Al Gore was doing a tour as well where he was going to come around and talk to you at theaters all around the country.

And we actually had a plan to go because there's a new music venue near us

where the studios are.

We were going to send a reporter there to kind of see what Al was talking about.

Problem is, show got canceled.

Oh, you're kidding.

I'm sure the reason it got canceled was just, look, scheduled conflicts.

That happens all the time.

That's probably what happened.

It could be that Al just didn't want to take take a private jet to Texas to do the show, realizing

it would have a negative effect on the environment.

Could be that.

He didn't think about the flight until the show was scheduled and on sale for months.

But no, no one apparently coming.

And so the show was actually canceled.

We cannot get that out of the way.

So, you know, here's the thing.

What's really weird is

all these people have just lost their clout.

Barack Obama.

I mean, Barack Obama got in, and remember those crowds.

In the second term, when he was running, he didn't have those crowds.

Remember he was booking

arenas and how the

curtain them off.

Right.

And they had to shoot it a certain way and the press wasn't showing it, that they were empty.

I don't think that's going to happen with Donald Trump.

Well, no, I mean, look, Donald Trump is a celebrity whether he's president or not.

I mean, Donald Trump was getting big crowds before he considered running for president.

No, I know, but the shine has come off of all of these other people.

All these other, the clintons and all of that stuff they're just like energy's gone in that party for people like that gone i mean they just can't stand hillary because she lost to trump and they see barack obama as a guy who had tons and tons of power and didn't go far enough with it he's a disappointment that's crazy really amazing it is really really truly amazing

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

So get the podcast.

It's available wherever podcasts are for this program and also the News and Why It Matters starring Gulen Beck.

Let's get to the real news.

Let's get to the stuff that, you know, Monday mornings are made for.

And

Mondays really are made for headlines like this.

Biological man identifies as woman, but plays a man as the first transgender lead in U.S.

opera.

That's a lot of research

to nail that because

he,

this is when he was a he.

Well, he's still biologically a man.

Oh, well, I know.

But you're not

going down the road of saying that biological biological gender.

No, no, no, it plays no role.

Okay, thank you.

But he is a biological man, but identifying as a woman, but he's been asked to play a man in an opera.

And my question is,

I mean,

shouldn't you get a man to play that role?

Even if he can't sing, shouldn't you get a man to play a man's role?

Well, we've seen this over and over again where you're not allowed to have a straight person play a gay person

or an abled abled person play a non-abled person.

That was very, I'm glad you put that as able then.

You didn't say the word handicap.

Oh, no, oh my gosh, oh my gosh.

Oh my gosh.

Oh my gosh.

Can we delete that?

Sorry, Facebook.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

We didn't mean that.

That's amazing.

So

think about the, you know, sometimes

actors and actresses will go undercover.

They'll work like in the police for a few days to see what it's really like for police if we guys are playing a role of police officers.

This guy was so dedicated, no, when he was a guy, he was so dedicated, he remained a guy and did guy things for how many years before transitioning to female just so he could play this male part.

And I want you that is that is dedication to your craft.

I want you to hear because he, I mean, I don't know if he pulls the role off

as a man, I mean, because he is a woman,

right?

Is he a

so I want you to listen to him because I don't know if he pulls this off.

Go ahead, play.

Can we play the audio?

What a low-voiced female that is.

Right?

And

now, you slap a pair of horns on his head

and a couple of, you know, Madonna breast cones, and

you got yourself a mighty handsome opera woman.

Oh, I'm sure.

You know what I mean?

I'm sure.

I've seen the photos.

Yeah.

So, okay, enough.

By the way, did you hear that Madonna is claiming discrimination?

Stupid, this world.

I'm sorry, Madonna

claiming discrimination.

She's being discriminated against because she's 60.

No, nope, nope.

That's not what it is, Madonna.

You're being discriminated against because you're a skank.

That's why.

And that's not a word I usually use.

No, I've not.

You heard you use it in quite a long time.

Doesn't it fit, Madonna?

I haven't heard anyone use it in quite a long time.

Yes, actually.

That's an old-timey word.

It is an old-timey word.

It's an old-timey word.

Here's another story for you, Stu.

Male makeup is catching more men's eyes.

Now, as an expert in male makeup, I wear it every day.

I wear it every day too, and I

hate it.

It is the worst thing about being on television.

They're like, you're like, I don't want to wear makeup.

Forget it.

People know what I look like.

And then they say, yeah, I know.

That's why you need makeup.

We've seen you without it, and you're awful.

So they put it on us every day to tell us how awful we are.

It's like a daily reminder of how hideous we are as people.

Who's the guy I interviewed on Friday?

What was his name again?

Shoot, the Navy SEAL.

He worked with

Jocko.

So Navy SEAL, this guy is a man's man.

Okay.

He got us out of Ramadi, and

Chris Kyle was on his team.

Zero sense of humor.

Zero sense of humor, at least with me.

And interviewed him on Friday.

And he's the first person to say no to makeup.

And our makeup artist was like, well, but

you're going to be on television under lights.

And he's like, nope, don't care.

She's like, well, but you have like a really bad spot and it looks like a cot on your nose.

Don't care.

Okay, but I'm going to get in trouble.

Nope, no makeup.

So he sat down with no makeup

because he's a man's man.

And

it's an interesting interview because I liked him.

You weren't here for him.

No, no, I hadn't.

Yeah, I liked him

because he's a fascinating guy, but I don't think we'd be hanging out

because he's just, there's no humor in him at all.

He's done some serious things.

Yeah.

I mean, he led SEAL team one, seal team two, seal team three, and seal team seven.

And I said to him, not good enough for six?

Did not laugh.

He did not.

Did he kill you?

I mean, that's almost.

He just didn't.

He just, he just stared at me.

And I went,

I'm kidding.

I'm kidding.

Well, they do some pretty serious things.

No, I, I,

oh boy.

I know.

That must have been fun.

Oh, it was interesting.

Because I went back several times to try to get that humor thing going with him.

Not really there.

Not there.

Not there with you.

Not there.

So anyway, Jocko will not be wearing male makeup.

The male makeup.

But it is true, I will say,

there was a time where a lot of these things, like manscaping, right?

Totally not a thing back in the day.

What is the body spray, the axe body spray?

They're selling God only knows how much of that stuff.

I mean, that's just like, that's stuff that women used to put on themselves.

These are just in just guy sense, right?

i mean all of these things that used to be this just women female now i've just crossed over for male with different market isn't this kind of what uh michael rechenwall was kind of talking about today he's talking about there's this new corporate socialism they're behind these things because if they can divide people into more categories they can sell more product and they have more control over you

i mean it's it's it's really it's crazy and it's international which was interesting, too.

I mean, really, a lot of the things he describes kind of straight up.

That's corporatism or even some elements of fascism.

That's why we're not building a border wall.

That is the reason.

Because the borders are gone.

The borders are just going to be gone.

If they get there, this is international socialism.

This is one world government.

No borders.

That's just what everybody's after.

You don't think?

Certainly not everybody's after that.

You're saying that this is the underlying philosophy.

Yeah, yeah, there's not going to be a border there.

It's an interesting thought.

I mean, Michael kind of brought it up.

It's really something I haven't heard

really argued all that often, but Michael's very smart, and he's kind of going to make this case over the next couple weeks with us as well, and more often, probably on TV as well.

CNN.

Now, remember, CNN has dropped 26% in primetime ratings, maybe because of stories like this.

Maggot sausage and insect ice cream can help feed feed the world, scientists say.

After all, lobsters aren't pretty, but dip these unsightly creatures into warm butter and they instantly become a different matter to most of us.

Why then do we gag at the thought of eating insects?

Because they're insects and I'm not eating them.

I don't want to eat them.

That doesn't answer the question, why?

Why not?

If it tasted good, would you eat maggots?

No.

Why?

Seriously, why?

If they tasted good, why wouldn't you eat a maggot sausage if you liked it?

Because they're maggots.

Well, that's not an answer.

That's not a why.

That's just a statement.

If frogs tasted good, would you eat your dog?

I would not.

I would not.

But you notice that I don't.

Yeah, but not eat your dog.

You don't eat any meat.

Right.

Yeah.

That's what I mean, though.

I mean, like, if the reason, what's the difference?

Why don't you eat your dog?

Because I have a relationship with my dog.

Right.

Right.

Yeah, I view different animals in different ways.

That's a fascinating thing to explore.

It's true.

Yeah.

No, it's true.

It's true.

It's true all across the world.

My daughter doesn't eat meat.

She's gone full-fledged vegan.

Okay.

So

I've said to her, because she didn't, you know, we have a cattle ranch and we slaughter our own cattle for our own beef.

And

she's like, I don't like the idea.

And I'm like, honey, then you can't eat meat.

If you don't like the idea, and she agreed with me, she led the way on this one.

If you don't like the idea, if you look at the pretty cows and go, oh, those are pretty cows.

I don't want to think about the butcher.

Well, then you shouldn't eat meat.

And I think, I mean, unless you grew up on a farm, like one guy who works here grew up on a farm.

He was telling me, like, that was just their life.

Like, they were nine years old, you know, slaughtering animals.

That was mine, too.

And that's a lot of people grew up that way, right?

And if you're on a farm, that's kind of very standard to you.

I think if you didn't do that, though, most people fall into that camp.

I mean, Pat says it all the time.

It's like, yeah, I want to eat the meat.

I just don't want to think about it.

I don't want to think about where it comes from.

And so like, it's just that is you see, and maybe that's the deal with spiders.

I could not eat insects and spiders and couldn't eat that.

But

that's the question.

If that big blob of that hairy Australian fight, a spider

was like a really good piece of tender fillet inside, still wouldn't eat it.

Well, if they shelled it, took out the hair.

No.

You know?

No.

I still would not eat it.

There's a, I think it's Kazakhstan that has a very

legit delicacy in their country, very standard traditional cultural dish that's horse stew.

Like it's a stew legit made out of horses.

And there was a controversy a while ago because we kept shipping our, we're not allowed to have horse meat here, but we would just ship them over there.

And then the horses.

I think that's a problem.

If you've got horses and they're going to die, if you're slaughtering them, you know, just again, like the, that doesn't answer the question, right?

Like, there's no, it is a weird cultural thing that we do, and every country does it, which is you pick certain species.

You're like, ah, those are just totally fine to kill and eat whenever you want.

And those, that's crazy.

You'd be nuts if you ate one of those.

And it's like, well, really, the separation factor there, if you're going to eat meat, right, is it should be taste, right?

Like, which ones taste really good?

If maggots tasted delicious, why would you care?

And there is an internal sort of guttural, like, ugh, factor.

Like, it's not explainable.

There's no re if they put that, if they made sausage out of maggots and they didn't say like you didn't know it was maggots and you started eating it and then you liked it and then later on realized it was maggots, you would stop eating it.

That's not a that's not a coherent decision.

Well, then is it a coherent if I made if I made sausage out of people and it was delicious.

Well, you don't, so there's no separation between people and animals.

We are animals.

We're just intelligent animals

with souls.

But I mean,

really?

Right.

There's lots of people that just look at people as animals.

We're just an animal.

Okay, so why not just?

Yeah, I mean, there are certainly people who do that.

Right.

But I mean, you don't do it.

But what's the difference?

It's an animal.

It's still an animal.

It's a pretty large religious one if you want to start there.

Well, no, let's say we're not killing them.

We're saying instead of burying them,

we're using all of their.

There you go.

Well, you know what?

There you go.

Maybe, maybe we don't kill people because that's against the law and against many different things.

But maybe when they die, we think about giving people the option.

There's human composting now in Washington.

First state that just passed it.

I know.

Maybe we offer, you know, a little bit of a

soil and green option for people.

Spoiler alert.

Maybe.

If you're watching that movie right now, you're like, damn it.

What's that, people?

Are you kidding me?

So I'd never seen that movie.

And Del Pat was always like, people,

soil and green is people,

which is like the last line of the movie.

And I'm like, what are you talking about?

He's like, you've never seen Soil and Green?

And I'm like, no.

He's like, you've got to watch it.

Well, I watched it and I turned it on.

They're like, hey, he's going to work at the Soil and Green Factory.

And I'm like, it's people, man.

Don't eat the people.

There's nothing to that movie.

Except the reveal.

That's the reveal.

It's a horrible movie, except for the reveal.

well i thought the insect ice cream and maggot sausage conversation you thought we'd be on the same page on that i think i would and pro maggot sausage apparently that's my position oh

Just put the package inside.

You can open the door, turn off the alarm, let him put the package inside, watch him leave,

have him close the door, you lock it back up and set the alarm.

Can you lock him inside and creep him out?

Because they can't get out all of a sudden?

That would be fun.

They should invent that feature too.

Well, I don't think they.

And then force him to eat horse meat.

This is an interesting thing.

You're not to eat bugs, okay?

You just don't eat bugs.

Lots of people eat bugs.

I know.

John the Baptist ate locust.

Shut up.

Did you see Indiana Jones Part 2, that documentary?

I don't want to.

In that one, they they ate lots of bugs and monkey brains.

Monkey brains, and I'm not going to eat monkey brains either.

Well, you're missing out.

I'm sure.

Well, I'm not hanging out with a kid named Shortstop.

Shortstop was his name?

Shorty.

Shortstack?

Shortstack, shortstop.

Something like that.

Something like that.

Anyway, I'm interested to see if you would be tempted or would entertain a taste test of the Impossible Burger.

This is like the best.

What's it made out of?

I mean, we only have a few seconds here before the end of the show.

We should go over this, though, this week.

It's being served.

Is it like the pink slime stuff?

No, no, no, no, no.

It's plant-based, they say.

It's not actual meat, but it tastes just like meat.

I've had it a bunch of times.

They're just about to add it to Burger King menus.

Tastes like meat.

Waffle.

You haven't had meat.

It's been a long time, though.

I'm not alone.

It's like 15 years, 20 years.

People are saying it's the best.

I mean, it is absolutely the best one they've ever done.

There's no question about it.

Really?

Right.

Locusts are the best.

Exactly.

I would like to see from a real meat eater if you actually feel that way and think it tastes like meat.

Bring it on.

All right, let's listen.

Bring it on.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.
