This is the Glenbeck program.

Well, finally, somebody has done some thinking.

School in Florida is taking serious the school safety issue.

It has hired two combat veterans armed with semi-automatic rifles to patrol and guard the campus against potential threats.

Manatee School for the Arts, Palmetto, Florida, hired school guardians to comply with state legislation requiring schools have at least one school safe school officer.

So instead of going for the people that, you know,

The schools usually hire, they've decided to go to actual experts.

Oh my gosh!

Panic, everyone.

We begin there and also with another school in West Virginia as the program begins in one minute.

This is the Glen Beck program.

When we started telling you about Simply Safe, there were, I think, six employees of this company and we just really believed in them.

They were just getting off of their feet and I found out about them and we talked to them and I I thought, this is a company that knows what they're doing, a group of people that actually care about people's safety.

Now they have 3 million homes and businesses that they are protecting all across the country.

About, what, eight months ago, nine months ago, it was two million homes.

This is a fast-growing company and it's growing fast because it has really done its homework over the years and really gotten their product right.

And what their product is, is home security.

You own the system, so you're not paying for it endlessly.

There's no wiring of the system or anything else.

Stu's, what is this, your sister-in-law?

Sister-in-law lives in an apartment and she's, you know, needs security.

She doesn't want to pay for the big, huge, you know, monthly bill.

And rental house.

But that's the thing.

I mean, you're renting something and you're going to move around.

You don't want to pay that huge bill.

You don't be locked into a contract forever that you can't get out of when you don't even live in the house anymore.

Simply Safe is the way to go.

I want to get to the school in

school in Florida, but I

want to start with something that I read that is just so sickening.

And we have audio

to show you what's happening in the school in West Virginia.

Now,

Amber Pack is a mom,

eight-year-old special needs girl,

and her girl just kept saying, I don't want to go to school, mom.

I don't want to go to school.

I don't want to go to school.

And so Amber thought, there's something going on.

Somebody's doing something to my daughter because

she's never been like this.

So she didn't know if it was a classmate picking on her, the teacher, or whatever.

So she actually put a recording device in her daughter's hair

and

then recorded absolutely everything that happened to her

and tried to figure out what was going on.

Well, it wasn't

too hard to see why her daughter did not want to go to school.

Let me just start by playing some of the audio.

This is what she got.

These are teachers at

this special needs

class.

These are teachers.

Cut one, please.

Out of back hand, you write your teeth.

How's that for anxiety?

Okay, so the first thing he says, she has anxiety.

Well, how about if I just hit you in the face?

How about if I punch you in the face?

How will that be for your anxiety?

Okay.

And you hear the girl whine.

Then,

cut two.

Well, you gotta go peepee?

Peepee?

Peepee.

Or do you not have to go peepee and you just want to go f ⁇ a healthcare?

Do you want to just go into the restroom and masturbate?

But she didn't say it that way.

Cut three.

I'm going to pull your hair until you stop crying.

Don't throw it.

Don't throw.

Animal you.

Yep.

You animal you.

You wench.

You winch.

You like a pig me.

You're like a piggy.

Oh, my God.

Okay.

This is not, by the way, this is not the same teacher.

Cut four.

Out your tears dry up so quickly, crocodile.

And then she wants to destroy everything in sight.

I'm going to knock you out.

I'm going to knock you out.

How quickly your tears dry, you crocodile.

Cut five.

I'm going to beat you butt.

For sure.

You know, and you're going to get one just

cuz.

Now listen to how severely handicapped the child is, obviously.

Listen to the reactions of this child.

Now it's lunchtime.

Cut six.

Growl at me, I dare you, and you won't get one.

Go ahead.

There's nothing says I have to give you a snack.

Nothing.

Looks like you get nothing, though.

Starving.

Do you understand what that was?

It was lunchtime.

Or snacks.

You keep whining at me like that.

You're not going to get any.

There's nothing that says I have to give you food.

What the hell?

I mean, geez.

So the teachers involved have been suspended.

Suspended?

Suspended?

What more do you need?

Sincerely, what more do you need?

If these teachers can't be fired immediately for something like that, what else do you need?

Seeing that they resigned, however, it seems.

They tendered their resignation soon after the story came out, which would make a little bit of sense and something that should be accepted, I suppose.

But

I wonder if that resignation still allows them to get any kind of,

you know,

pay.

Obviously, it shouldn't be accepted if that's the case.

What the hell are you doing in this business?

What are you doing with your life if that is the way you're going to treat people?

To live your life and have the way you're making your money be with special needs kids, you have to be a pretty special person.

You have to be someone who's patient and understanding and trying to do something.

I mean,

that's not even a job, right?

That is a

calling.

It's a calling.

And if you don't have that calling, what are you doing working in that world?

I mean, that is inhuman to treat someone like that, Anybody, let alone a special needs kid.

What's interesting is all of those cuts,

all of those,

that's the same day.

That's not, that wasn't an ongoing investigation.

That's what, when, when the child got home, mom took the recorder and replayed it all, and all of that happened on that one day.

Imagine why that child of special needs did not want to go to school.

when the government runs everything.

Who do you run to?

If

this were

a private school,

people would be clamoring and it would end immediately, immediately.

There would be things in place because the corporation that ran it, if it wasn't in bed with the government or press,

would have to stop it.

They would stop it before it started.

I'm sorry, but these teachers resigned.

What I loved was the school administrators that were horrified by this.

Excuse me, hang on.

It's not just one teacher.

How is this

going on in your school and you don't know it?

If it's one teacher, you're like, okay.

But it wasn't just one.

So how is this happening without you knowing it?

How have you created an atmosphere where this kind of thing could go on?

We have lost touch with humanity and common sense.

Look at the heat that this school in Florida is getting

the school in Florida that actually is doing the right thing.

I mean,

what is the right thing?

What is the right thing?

Protect your children, right?

Do you not, would you not do everything you had to do to protect your children?

Of course you would.

Of course you would.

If they were people outside of your house, and you knew they wanted to come in and kill you and your family.

I don't care how you feel about guns.

When all was said and done, you would get a gun or you would do something to protect your family from somebody coming into that house.

You would do it.

Because in the end, it's either them or your kids.

And what do we argue about?

We argue about whether we should have a mall cop.

We argue about, well, we don't want somebody with an automatic weapon around my kid.

I do.

If my kids are in danger, I do.

If that will stop somebody from coming in and shooting up a classroom, yeah, you park a tank out front.

I don't give a crap.

I don't care.

Keep the bad guys away.

So here's a school that's making sense and saying, you know what?

We have all these veterans that have come home.

They have made a difference.

And now they feel like they don't make a difference.

Put them at our school.

We are so short-sighted that

we don't even recognize the threat of Beslan.

That was a horrible, horrible, game-changing situation that happened in Russia about 15 years ago.

When this thing happened,

terrorists took over a school on the first day of school and they slaughtered children and parents.

Just slaughtered them.

Held on to the school.

The story is horrific.

Military had to come in.

I don't know.

I'd rather just have a couple of vets

just to say, hey, we've hardened our school.

And yeah, they've got an automatic weapon.

And if you come on school and you are going to do something, we're going to kill you.

Because it's better that we kill you than you kill anybody else.

Do you see what happened in Portland a couple of weeks ago?

Press didn't cover it.

School shooting.

Guy comes in.

The police happen to be there.

They happen to notice this guy, and he just seemed off.

And so

they start questioning him, and he gets a little aggressive.

He's in the school.

They push him outside of the school.

They push him through the doors.

They start to tackle him.

He grabs his gun.

He shoots at the deputies.

He shoots, I think, five or six times.

Nobody is killed, thank God.

But he's discharging his weapon.

Well, that's not really a story.

That wasn't a school shooting.

Why?

He was in with a gun shooting.

He wanted to shoot children.

The cops stopped him.

Why isn't that a story?

I'll tell you you why it's not a story.

Because he was wearing a t-shirt.

What did his t-shirt say?

We'll talk about it here in 60 seconds.

All right.

Let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.

Real estate agents I trust.

You can trust them for a simple reason.

They are people just like you that want a square deal.

They're fans of the show.

They live by the same kind of principles principles that you do.

And they're the best in your area.

They know how to price your home to make sure that it moves on time and for the most amount of money.

That's the hardest thing.

And it's not an algorithm.

You have to know the area.

You have to know, you know, this particular plot of land in this section of town, I know this area.

You know, maybe there's construction going on nearby.

You might know that there's a new road about to be built.

People who really know the area, you can't do it by algorithm because then you just choose a profile of a person.

You have to know the actual individuals.

So, the people that we have selected are all fans of the show, and they are the best in your area.

And we hook you up.

I mean, I think within the first few minutes, when you get on, I don't think it's more than an hour that you will hear back from somebody.

I mean, unless it's in the middle of the night, I suppose.

You'll hear back from our team right away and say, this is the agent in your area.

Don't play games with the agents.

they're not all the same.

Get the best one, sell your home on time and for the most amount of money with realestate agents I trust.com.

That's realestate agents I trust.com to buy or sell your home, realestate agents I trust.com.

10 seconds, station ID.

Glenn Beck program.

So what did the t-shirt say of the guy who goes in in Oregon and starts shooting at the cops?

And he's only shooting at the cops because the cops wouldn't let him get close enough to shoot the children.

He's wearing a smash the patriarchy

t-shirt.

Now, I wonder if that played a role at all in any of the non-coverage of this story.

Our priorities are so upside down right now.

And it's really, you know, if I shouldn't say it that way,

people don't think that this could be lost.

I really don't, I don't think the average person has any clue how close to the edge we really are

we we just seem to think well it'll it'll it'll work itself out now not everybody is like that but i think the average american is like that they just think that this is just going to go on you can just tinker with it whatever you want i don't have to pay attention to that i don't have to stand up for this You know, I've never been, I'm against abortion, but I've never stood up because I don't want to get involved.

Gang, we're at the cliff.

We're at the cliff.

You have to take a stand.

Not to stand is to stand.

Not to speak is to speak.

And for anybody who thinks that it's going to get easier from here, it's not.

It's not.

It's going to get a lot harder from here.

Last night on the TV show,

I explained to the audience

how this all ends.

I can tell you right now how this all ends in the next five years, should we choose?

Look at the turmoil we have right now inside of our country.

Look at the Green New Deal.

Now, what the hell is the Green New Deal?

What is that, really?

You have all the Democrats signing on.

Now, Mitch McConnell will see how real it is,

but they're all signing on.

All the Democrats, they have, what, 70-some co-sponsors for this.

You have most of the Democratic presidential candidates signing on.

And what is it in reality?

It is the abolishment of the car industry.

It is the abolishment of the combustion engine car within 10 years.

It is the grounding of airplanes within 10 years.

The abolishment of air travel.

It is building of a high-speed rail, which, by the way, Gavin Newsom just pulled out of the high-speed rail in California, said it's a boondoggle.

They always are.

So you want to build a high-speed rail, you want to get rid of cars, you want to get rid of airplanes, plus, you're going to ban all

oil,

natural gas, and nuclear energy

in 10 years.

So by 2029,

you're going to do all that.

Now, remember that Bain Capital said, just because of new technology, we are going to have a 30% unemployment rate by 2030.

Okay?

Now, that may change,

and it may change because we always are pessimistic.

You know, what happens when we start building cars?

What's going to happen to all the blacksmiths?

Well, the blacksmiths are going to go away and there's going to be some pain, but we're going to have mechanics.

So there'll be new jobs created.

Now, people that

understand technology, and I tend to agree with them,

say that those jobs are not, there's no new job that's going to be recreated because you're going to have robots that are going to be able to do it.

And I know that sounds like sci-fi, but we are now living in that time where science fiction is becoming science fact.

Now, how it all shakes out is going to be up to us.

So we have all this displacement coming just from technology.

Then on top of it,

you want to get rid of planes.

You want to get rid of cars.

You want to get rid of the combustion engine.

You want to get rid of oil, natural gas, and nuclear energy at the same time.

What does that look like in the end economically?

What does the next 10 years look like economically?

And do you think the world sits around and does nothing when it's in that much pain?

Or do you think there might be a global war?

Let me just give you a quick 10 seconds on how this ends when we come back.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

There is nothing better than Relief Factor.

There is nothing better than Relief Factor if you want to get get rid of your pain, your pain is caused mainly by inflammation.

The body inflames and it causes all kinds of problems.

I mean, if you look at anything, you know, science, medical science is showing us now, inflammation,

you know, is

a breeding ground for everything that is bad, you know, cancer, everything.

Inflammation is our biggest enemy.

This is what Relief Factor does.

It reduces inflammation.

It's 100% natural.

It works for me.

I take it three times a day.

I have for over a year.

70% of the people who try it find great relief from Relief Factor.

Get out of pain.

Good morning this afternoon and this evening.

Good night.

Good morning.

How are you?

Welcome to the program, Pat Gray.

It's a beautiful board.

I got there.

I have to apologize to Seattle, by the way.

I was talking about their six inches of snow, boohoo,

and how, you know, I'm from Seattle, so back off.

I can say these things,

but, you know, they freak out.

They have no snow plows.

They have nothing.

They have nothing.

They can't salt or sand.

They have to bring it all from the mountains.

And if the mountain passes are really bad, they got to clear the mountain passes.

And so I talked about this yesterday.

Six inches of snow is a lot.

Well,

I didn't hear the update until I got a lot of my family going, oh, really?

Really?

I haven't left my house in nine days.

Wow.

They got 20 inches of snow.

Sea Tac,

20 inches of snow in Seattle.

Wow.

SeaTac.

Wow.

That's like...

That's a lot.

That is, that is the

snow apocalypse for Seattle.

Now they're getting rain now, I guess.

Now they're going to be worried about flooding, but that's the most snow since 1946.

Global warming.

This globe, I know.

This globe is warming so fast.

Before we get into Pat,

I want to just tell you

one thing, and I want you to chew on this.

I want you to debate this.

If it sounds crazy, I want you to call me.

I want you to debate yourself.

I want you to prove me wrong, please.

I believe we are one election away from losing the Constitution of the United States of America.

The fundamental transformation that Barack Obama was looking for is this presidential election away.

Now,

I want you to hear me carefully.

This is not, you gotta vote for Trump or you can't vote for them.

I'm not talking politically here.

I want you to understand the layout of the ground.

What does the ground look like right now?

We are at an unemployment rate that almost never happens.

It was 3.7%,

which means 3.7%

has always been what

statisticians always say is full employment.

Just about everybody who wants a job has a job.

Now, it may not be the job they want, but it's historic low in unemployment.

For the first time, I think since like 1972, in this last year, people have had an actual raise.

Now, you might have had raises in the past, but it has not kept up with

price inflation.

Okay.

So you have an actual raise.

the average person for the first time has felt an actual increase in their salary okay we have a stock market that is riddled with inflation gone up 400 percent since 2008

now you may say that doesn't help you but it does if you have money in your 401k it does if you're if you have retirement funds So we are, yes, we have our problems, but we are the best we've been in this situation.

And by the way,

we're now

our debt is up to $22 trillion.

So money is just flowing from the government.

Okay?

Doesn't get better than this.

Why would you introduce a new deal at a time like this?

A new deal was when we have nothing to fear but fear itself.

When unemployment was at 30%.

think of that.

30% unemployment.

Breadlines all over the country.

The Dust Bowl.

People getting up and just moving because they've got nothing left.

There's no work.

There's no way to feed your family.

This is when we were actually responsible for growing our own food and everything else.

There was nothing.

That's how bad it was when we said we need a new deal.

Now, what this new deal, this green new deal is, is guaranteed housing,

guaranteed jobs,

guaranteed income,

guaranteed food.

That's not the United States of America.

That is against everything in our Constitution.

That flips us from a

individual-based country that has the rights of the individual, tells the government, no, you stay away.

You stay away.

Where the individual is in powered, this flips it entirely up, upends it and turns us into the former Soviet Union or any other

true socialist state.

And that is not Sweden.

That is still a capitalist society.

It's like Venezuela.

It's like Venezuela.

where they redistribute the land and the income and they dictate what is fair and what is not.

Here's how this ends.

If we don't pay attention and we don't start coming together and we don't start talking to our reasonable Democratic friends, I'm not talking about the politicians.

I'm talking about the people that you know that are,

if you had a real conversation with them and you got past Trump and the politics in Washington, you'd have a real conversation with them and they'd go, this stuff with abortion, killing the baby after it's born, even considering that killing the baby

for so the mom carries a dead child because it takes three days to get that dead child out of her if she wants to abort at birth that's that's insane

you know the government saying that we that you're going to get rid of your cars you're going to get rid of airplanes you're going to have a guaranteed job and guaranteed houses everybody's going to do this

that if we can't make that case to our friends, when things are this good,

here's how it ends.

In the next 18 months, we have a severe disruption because of an outbreak of war, terror, or just because European banking just goes to hell in a handbasket and we're all connected to each other and it hits us hard and we go into a deep recession, God forbid, a depression.

The only thing that is holding this president together is the economic story.

He is so disliked by so many people that they are holding on to him because they're not in pain.

The minute this thing falls apart

in an election year,

forget about what they stand for.

People in America will say, okay, I don't want any more of that.

I want somebody over here.

And these guys are compassionate and they're going to help.

And you know what?

This system, I'm not sure this system even works anymore.

The only reason why they're putting a Green New Deal up and all of them, all of them, the presidential candidates, all of them are signing on to this is because this is the end of the American experiment, this election.

And it can happen that fast and will.

It's a really good point.

Punch holes in that.

That's a really good point.

Can you punch holes in that?

No,

that's a really good point.

I think you should probably consider doing this as a full-time thing.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You might want to do that.

But seriously, that sounds crazy.

Seriously, it was because

your point of if we're this close

now

when it's good, what's going to happen when it gets bad?

That's, I, you know,

that's chilling.

And it's all chilling.

It's a result of the binary binary choice sort of situation that we have, in that if things get bad and people don't like Trump, they'll pick the other person without thinking about how bad they are.

Right.

And if that other person happens to be the equivalent of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, we're going to have some serious problems.

And it couldn't be because that's the only alternative, pretty much.

We talked about the Green New Deal.

Yeah, the Green New Deal we talked about last break, and you mentioned, I don't know if there's been any candidates.

There are no candidates in the field that I know of currently that are opposing it with the exception of John Delaney, who is a guy who has basically no chance to win and also is saying, I don't want this.

I'd rather have this other giant green plan that I've decided.

Clovichar came out yesterday and said, I'm not like the rest.

I'm not a socialist.

Yet on Sunday, she signed on to the Green New Deal.

She said she would.

She said she would sign on to it.

Now, she didn't mention it in her announcement speech, but maybe she's trying to back away from it, but she did indicate support for the Green New Deal.

Julian Castro has not taken a position, so he may have an opportunity to back out of this before it gets too ugly.

Do you guys know about Chile and Pinochet?

Have you ever done any?

Okay.

Yeah.

So

I started doing some

research because of Venezuela on Pinochet

in Chile, and he was a horrible, horrible dictator.

But he was this weird dictator that believed, I mean,

his economic theories were Milton Friedman.

Okay.

So for while Pinochet

was in control, again, horrible, tortured people, horrible, horrible guy.

So I'm only talking about the economic policies here.

But he took Milton Friedman stuff.

While he was in charge, Chile was the most, it had 6% growth every year.

Now, in 1980, there was a disruption.

I can't remember why.

There was a disruption in the economy.

And so he

immediately went to work projects and he put people to work with the government, which is a socialist plan.

But as soon as that was over, he shut them back off and he went back to Milton Freeman and they had another explosion of growth.

Okay.

So you at times you could, if people believed in it, you could say, okay, there's 30% unemployment.

We have to do something.

So we work together and we pull each other up, okay?

But we never go back.

In America, you never go back.

And these guys right now

are saying the capitalist system doesn't work.

This system doesn't work.

Every single bit of evidence shows this system does work when it's not greedy and in bed with the government.

We have this horrible, greedy, capitalist

and and socialist hybrid here, where the government is protecting and picking winners and losers.

That doesn't work.

But they're saying that now.

Imagine what happens when people feel real discomfort.

Pray for our country, pray for economic stability, and start working together, coming together.

Because you

talked about Barack Obama's idea of the fundamental transformation.

If you're going to look at that

in a foundational sort of sense, probably the clearest he ever was on that was his

despondence over the idea of a charter of negative liberties versus a charter of positive liberties.

What can the government do to you as opposed to what can the government must do on your behalf, as the way he sort of phrased it.

And

that is absolutely 100%

the Green New Deal.

It's the transformation from the Charter of Negative Liberties to the Charter of Positive Liberties.

It's something that they've chased forever.

They tried to do it partially with the New New Deal, which never was adopted.

And people keep overlooking the idea that the Green New Deal is on top of the New New Deal.

It's an expansion of what the New New Deal was.

The New New Deal was known as the Second Bill of Rights.

Nobody really even remembers.

It was an abomination.

It would have reversed the course of our Bill of Rights.

And instead, it was a Bill of Responsibilities.

The government had to do these things for you.

Instead of the Bill of Rights, hey, you don't have a right to do any of this.

Back up.

And it changes us from an individual to a collective society.

And that is in the cards as soon as the next two years, if things get bad.

I still can't believe how the media is handling this as well, where they posted this thing.

This isn't us mocking the Green New Deal, right?

This isn't us this is they posted this on their actual site they said this was the background document for it they sent it to npr as a background document and now the media is allowing them to get away with well it was just a draft well first of all it was just a draft where's the new one where's the final product then why if you just put if you put a the wrong draft online where's the new draft where's the new final one why aren't we seeing that you're like crap i put the wrong one up hang on just a second take that one off yep here's i'm sending

the responsible one.

Here's the one I really meant to send out.

You do that immediately.

That happens to people, right?

Yeah.

This is clearly what the real idea was.

And now she's, you know, Casio-Cortez is like, oh, well, I'm not going to ban airplanes.

I want to go visit my family in Puerto Rico.

I would, of course, not do that.

I'm not going to ban ice cream.

I like ice cream.

And it's like, well,

why did you put those things in there?

Again, this is your chief of staff.

How the healthcare thing started.

Yep, exactly.

No, we only want Obamacare.

Well, we're only going part way.

The single payer.

That's silly.

And now they've all embraced it because they did the groundwork.

They got us used to Obamacare.

And now comes the real thing.

Same with the Green Deal.

Although they overturned windowed us first, and then maybe they'll back off that extremism a little bit.

But this is their goal, obviously.

This is their goal.

It's exactly what they want to do.

Not to stand is to stand.

Not to speak is to speak.

You must be involved every step of the way.

Pat, sorry we didn't get to what you wanted to talk about.

My tongue is exhausted.

I just know we start talking.

Thank you.

All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about Field of Greens.

Brick House Nutrition has a product called Field of Greens.

I want to talk to you about salads and how much I hate salads, but I'm not going to because I don't ever stop when I start talking about how much I hate salads and kale.

We only have a couple hours left in the show today.

Well, that gives me time to just introduce how much I have hatred for kale.

My wife made a green smoothie for me this morning with kale.

At least it wasn't Overton window.

At least it wasn't celery juice.

Anyway, Field Greens.

It is real USDA organic fruits and vegetables complete with the antioxidants.

It boosts the immunity.

It has the antioxidant power.

It's prebiotic, probiotic, all biotic.

This is real food.

And you just take a scoop of it, and you get everything you need for the day.

Without going to the salad bar.

In our conversation about the future and why

a green new deal is appealing to many, it's the millennials.

They don't want the, you know, soul-sucking office jobs of the past.

They know that things are changing profoundly.

We're missing this.

They don't feel satisfied.

They know that change is needed.

They're looking for someone with a big idea.

And so far, no one on the right has a big idea other than

let's just go back to the past, which they don't understand.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

I want to talk to you a little bit about Home Title Lock.

Stu,

what is that story that you read from the New York Times

yesterday?

It's actually Fox News.

The Fox News.

Around the U.S., deed theft has emerged as one of the most sophisticated and devastating frauds ever to menace homeowners.

Think of that.

Think of that.

To ever menace homeowners.

Why?

Yeah, I mean, now they're saying scammers are no longer content with stealing $5,000.

Now they want the whole house that comes from the New York Attorney General's office.

Okay, so this is really bad.

And the people that have been on this, but we heard about this from these people, Home Title Lock, and we actually heard about it in an ad.

And Stu brought it in, and he was like, look at this.

Pat jumped on the bandwagon.

We talked to the people.

I'm in.

Stu's in.

This is really a problem, and you need to protect yourself.

I want you to go to hometital.com, hometitalock.com.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

The Green New Deal.

Everybody is looking at Gavin Newsom as a hero today for the right.

Everybody's like, look at this.

Here they come out with the Green New Deal.

And what do they want to do?

They want high-speed rail.

But Gavin Newsom, the government, the governor of California, who's as left as can be, has just canceled the high-speed rail, saying it was too expensive and took too long.

He's given the money back.

Uh-huh.

Is that what's happening?

I'll explain in one minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

How long does it take?

How long does it take to get DNA test results back?

I can't believe that I am, I'm, I'm, like, impatient.

I'm so excited to get the DNA results back from 23andMe.

And I'm like, come on, come on.

It takes a couple of weeks.

Oh, geez, can I have it now?

You remember when DNA tests were like a thing of the future that would never happen?

Remember when they were starting to chart the genome, the human genome?

And they were like, we may never fully have it charted.

And then all of a sudden, it just started building on itself?

Oh, do you remember a large reason why OJ Simpson went free is because DNA was so foreign to the average American that they didn't believe the evidence.

Yeah, it's crazy.

I mean, now, look how far we've come.

It's crazy.

Now it's just available to everybody.

Do you also know that fingerprints are not necessarily all

different?

Did you know that?

I did not know that.

Yeah, I read something about this the other day, and I was like, I've got to look that up.

Look this up.

It's never, the fingerprint analysis

is not a lock.

Not 100% type of thing.

Yeah.

And I had no idea.

I had no idea.

I mean, think about the advancement there.

I mean, just what you learn from DNA as opposed to

fingerprints.

And then it was like, I think I saw someone before that.

We've come a long way.

And there's something, you know, Gabe, my nephew, he wrote to me and he said,

Uncle Glenn, can you send me stuff that you've done on genealogy?

I just don't think it's right that

the people that came before me have struggled so hard to get to where we are, and I don't even really know anything about them.

He said, it's one generation, and everything else is lost.

I thought that was tremendous coming from a millennial.

I just thought that was great.

Look, get your DNA kit at 23andMe.com slash Beck.

I know I'm freaked out about it too,

about having your DNA.

They destroy it.

They can keep it for you, but they will will destroy it.

And they've fought several court cases and they've won all of them.

When the government comes in and says, Hey, we need to have the DNA,

they don't turn it over.

And I talk to them extensively about it.

It's like a nuclear missile silo.

There are two keys that have to be turned.

And so it's very, very safe.

DNA kit, get it now.

All right.

So, Stu, one of the things that you have been on, I mean, you've done so much with the wonderful world of Stu,

where you kind of took on all of these topics.

You know, my son,

he just started watching Adam.

What is it?

Adam destroys everything.

Adam ruins everything.

Ruins everything.

Yeah.

And I was proud of my son.

He came to me and all of a sudden he starts quoting all this stuff.

Dad, did you know?

And I'm like, what?

In fact, that may be where I got the fingerprint thing and thought, I've got to look into that.

But he starts quoting all this stuff.

Did you know, Dad?

And I'm like, no,

what are you reading the encyclopedia?

What is going on?

And he said, I've been watching this show.

And I said, uh-huh.

And he said, and it's all footnoted, which I was happy to hear him say.

And I said, have you followed any of those footnotes or links?

No.

Well, just because it says it was footnoted doesn't mean that it's accurate.

That's why they footnote it.

That's why I follow up on.

Right.

And you're also, they footnote it also because it's like, nope, that's fact.

No, Washington Post said it's fact.

Right.

And that's what they do in political ads, even.

Correct.

He is, he's an absolute communist.

And then you look look at the link and it just says it's like an ad in the uh saint link you know saint walker tribune yeah what is that so um uh he said i've been saving a couple of them because i want to watch them with you because i want to know what you think that's a lot of people when i was doing wonderful world of stew would would compare that show to the adam ruins everything except he has a but had a very large budget uh he has actors acting out every city i mean it's it's pretty and he's also liberal i mean generally speaking although sometimes I do find him to be right on somebody.

So

I had to tell my son, we watched the one on About the Border, and I said, Okay.

He said, So, is that right?

Is that accurate?

We stopped all the way along, and I said,

Let's watch the whole thing, and then we'll go back.

And so, I said to him, I have to tell you, I would say 90% of it, maybe 98% of it,

is accurate.

However, it's only half the story.

So its inaccuracy is in what it leaves out.

So I can't dispute the facts that he's saying, although some of them I can,

but I can dispute easily, well, yes, but he's only giving half the story here.

Okay.

And so I've been trying to get him to watch Wonderful World of Stew.

I just wish I knew there was a place where they all lived where you could just get online and watch them.

I believe you can get every episode at blazetv.com/slash Beck, promo code Beck, and watch all the Beck episodes.

So one of, that's convenient.

I should write that down.

So

one of the episodes you take on these high-speed rails.

Yeah, a couple of them, actually.

One in particular, we did an interview with a guy, Eric Christian is his name.

He

was kind of leading the fight against this train system in California that they were trying to do.

And he actually got thrown out of public hearings because he would ask questions about the cost and how feasible these things were

and how the exploding cost really had

I mean it was mesmerizing how fast it this is the case with every one of these things we did you know another light rail is another big one of one of my big pet peeves in the world because there are light rail systems all over the country and everyone likes to defend their own light rail system everyone says well mine is pretty good but I think overall they're all terrible the the best case scenario for a light rail system is that no one ever steps foot on it because every time it moves, it costs you money.

And it costs money to the

100% of taxpayers when 5% of people actually ride on the thing.

It's almost always really inefficient.

It's always subsidized.

It's one of those things where they'll be like, well, it only costs a dollar from go to X to Z.

No, it doesn't.

It costs you a lot more than a dollar because you're paying for it in another way.

This is something that we all understand when it comes to taxes and healthcare.

But for some reason, we just have this nostalgic thing about trains in the United States.

I mean, trains were a big part of our history, and they were something that was really important to the foundation of this country.

And

that's all true.

But we have this weird nostalgia as if this technology needs to exist anymore.

There are things as far as shipping where it's valuable because those lines are already laid.

There's a reason.

There's no reason to build a new set of train tracks in the United States of America today.

And every time a new light rail proposal comes through, it is an absolute boondoggle every time.

And every time it is a thing where you wind up paying more and more and more, the budget always doubles and then triples, then quadruples, and people want to see it through to the end because politicians make these promises.

And then at the very end of the game, you have a light rail system that does something

that is in a very limited way, in a very inefficient way.

It goes too slow.

It doesn't go as fast as you can get there when there's a car in almost every single situation.

And at at the end of the day, you have something that goes from one place to another

when we, as we all know, population centers shift constantly.

If you 100% knew two things would stay the exact same way for a very long period of time and people wouldn't move and people wouldn't have different priorities, you could maybe make an argument for it.

These things change all the time.

People move from neighborhood to neighborhood.

Some neighborhood decides to be, it's no longer trendy.

There's no stop in the place where all the new restaurants are.

It is not an efficient way to travel, which is why we moved on, by the way, from trains to cars to planes.

But people don't understand that because in the power centers, for instance, mainly in New York, the subway is so critical to people.

I mean,

it changes the value of property because if you're on the east side,

The train does not, the Second Avenue train has

it been completed yet?

I know

it was supposed to be completed forever and it actually affected property values because you wanted to be near a subway stop and there wasn't one there.

The problem is

that that's New York.

That's New York.

When you get out of the major population centers, you're not going to take a train because you're already driving.

You would be driving from, you know,

20 miles to go get to the train and then park and then get on the train and then wait and then go another maybe 20 miles.

And then what do you have on the other end?

There's no car, there's no Uber.

I mean, it's not like it is in the major cities.

Right.

And the other thing, too, about the subway system, even in New York, New York, first of all, is obviously the best possible example for this because it's very, you know, it's very congested and very contained in this small area.

It's an island.

There's nowhere to expand.

All the things that don't apply to any of these other projects.

Yes.

Everyone will bring up New York.

However, if you were bringing, if you were making New York today, you would not put a subway on it.

The fact that the subway exists from a long time ago doesn't mean you wouldn't stop using it, right?

There's nowhere else to build roads.

There's no way to do it that way.

You wouldn't build New York the way it is today if you started today.

And that's the problem.

No, you would put the traffic underneath.

You probably put the traffic, you might put the traffic underneath, but you probably don't build it all on that island the way it is.

Oh, no.

Right?

You're going to make less, you're going to make more room for cars to go because you know cars are there.

When they built New York, they were like, you know what, we need more horse space, right?

So, yes, you use technology that you had at the time.

If something's already built, you don't just abandon it because

the infrastructure is such a large part of the cost.

But 92% of its costs of light rail across the country are paid by people who never use it.

92% of the costs are paid by people who don't ride the train.

That is completely insane.

That is just a

feel-good project for a politician to say, look what I'm doing for this community.

And how much is the American people paying for Amtrak?

Oh, God.

I mean, it's billions.

And that really only is for the elites that are going to Washington, between Washington and New York.

That's how they travel.

You know, that's for the government officials

to move.

I mean, a lot of regular people use it as well.

I mean, you do use that train if you're going from Washington to New York, but that's what that's for.

That's a Washington, New York thing.

If you're not going to Washington, New York, I mean, you're generally driving.

If you're not on business, you're generally driving.

Yeah, no, of course.

And that makes sense, right?

I mean, I think it's 4% of people in Dallas to commute by public transport.

4%.

That doesn't even include the suburbs, but in Dallas, 4% of people.

So they build this light rail and it goes all over the place.

Every time someone steps on the Dallas light rail system, we have to pay them $4.21.

Oh, my gosh.

So the best thing in the world would be no one rides it and we just park it somewhere.

Because every time somebody steps foot on it, and it's rare, if you ever see the

pass by, it runs empty all the time.

All the time.

Of course, if it's running empty, that's even worse.

Right.

But it would be better if they just stopped all the cars.

$4.21 every single time.

There are 96,380 passenger trips on the Dallas Light Rail every weekday.

Most of them are, obviously, round trips, so about 48,000 passengers.

We could buy all of those passengers a new Prius for about $1.2 billion,

which is the cost of just one of the four lines that make up the Dallas Rail system.

So we could buy everyone who uses it.

There's four lines.

The whole thing is $7 billion less than how much taxpayers have already invested in the train.

And we could buy everyone who rides it a new car.

That's how bad these systems are.

And Dallas is not an outlier here.

All the thing, when you're saying, well, my town's not like that yet.

Yes, it is.

I promise.

Yes, it is.

It's a debacle.

I've lived all over this country and every city always says, you know what we're going to do?

We're going to build light rail.

We're going to be light rail.

You know what we're going to do?

We're going to build a high-speed rail between Tampa and Orlando because we're going to get all those people that are in Orlando.

They don't want to really be there for Disney World.

They'd rather be on the beach of St.

Pete.

Really?

Really?

Would they?

Would they?

They tried to build it.

Disaster.

Disaster.

Disaster.

And you could make the case that people would want to go on on vacation and spend a few days in Disney and then go to the ocean or to the Gulf and be on the beach.

You could make that case that you're in Disney and you want to take a high-speed rail to go see a space shuttle launch.

You could make that case.

No, disaster.

Cost-benefit analysis.

Disaster.

Not just benefit analysis.

Now.

So did Gavin Newsom wake up and suddenly recognize the free market system and go, you know what?

This is a debacle.

This doesn't work.

What a waste of money.

Really?

The guy from San Francisco?

No, I'll tell you what I think is really happening next.

One minute away.

All right.

This is it.

This is it.

Stu?

Have you done it?

I did it yesterday.

Have you done it?

Oh, good.

Yes.

You have?

Yes, I think I'm prepared now.

Really?

Yes.

I think I'm prepared.

Now, did you do it or did you say, oh,

I know what I'm doing?

I put a note in my calendar.

Good for you.

That's the preparation.

Wait.

No, wait.

You put a note in your calendar.

Right.

I have tomorrow to do it.

Today.

Today.

10 seconds, station ID.

Dude,

let me give you a scenario here.

You tell me which one is

more likely.

Gavin Newsom, the guy that ran San Francisco, and we all know, I mean,

that's the home of feces and drugs, so it's great.

Is that their official slogan?

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, yeah.

So

that guy becomes governor of the most reckless spending state in the Union.

And he's a green guy.

And all green guys know we got to get these cars off the road.

And if we just had high-speed rail from Los Angeles to San Francisco, we'd have that connection.

And it would cut down time, it would cut down on traffic.

This is the most reckless spending state, the most environmentally conscious state, the one that doesn't care about anything other than that, except for the congestion on the highways.

And he's canceling the high-speed rail on the week after the Green New Deal comes out, where they say we need to build these trains like they are in California.

What?

That is, especially the timing of it is incredibly strange.

Celebrate.

Do not celebrate, conservatives.

You should stop and go, hmm.

Now, that doesn't seem like a team player move, even if it's true.

The week when everybody's talking about the new green deal,

$3.5 billion

from government aid was loaned to the state of California.

Keyword loaned to the state of California for their high-speed rail.

They have to pay that back.

That's, by the way, more than twice than what Trump was, or more than

twice of what Trump got for the border wall and this last deal.

So, and that's not enough to even build the rail.

Okay, they had to come out with all their money.

Not even close.

It's tens of billions of dollars.

So they got $3.5 billion from the federal government, but they have to pay that money back.

Now, if I'm Gavin Newsom

and I'm looking at the landscape and I'm trying to do the things that are right,

and I know that all my constituents,

while they are all green and they hate the traffic, they also know that we are spending money hand over fist and they're having to pay for it.

So I say to myself, hmm,

where could I find three and a half billion dollars?

I know

I could cancel the train

and send that money back

in hopes that in 2020 we will have a new

green new dealer

in the Oval Office, and it will become a federal project, and I won't have to pay for any of it.

So let me look fiscally responsible.

Let me say,

I believe in the Green New Deal.

But the K-State of California, this is just not efficient for us at this time.

Send that money back.

Stop having the taxpayers foot more bills for that, knowing that the next president, should the Democrats win, will say, Gavin, you know, and I know you've got congestion and you're leading the way on environmental issues.

You got to have it.

And you already got most of it.

You know, all the paperwork's done, everything.

You're already moving in that direction.

We're just going to send you the money because this is an important project for the United States of America.

That is what's happening.

I mean, that makes sense.

It makes him look somewhat good to the state and saying he's being fiscally responsible, but knowingly he's going to be getting it probably in a few years anyway.

He's playing that game.

I'll bet you he's playing that game.

I'll bet you if Donald Trump loses, God help us.

The Green New Deal will pass and the state of California will have their high-speed rail for free.

Well, not for free.

It'll be on your back.

You will never ride it in Iowa, but you'll pay for it.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

American Financing Corporation, NMLS 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

Okay, I can't tell you enough.

I was meeting with some financial people yesterday on some projects that we're working on, and

I said

about the same, better, worse.

We all agree that

Europe is a nightmare.

The regular cycle of recession in America is way overdue.

We're going to hit troubled times.

If Europe falls apart, and it starts to shake apart, it's going to infect us and interest rates are going to go up.

Please refinance your home.

Please get these low interest rates now or if you're buying a new home, only go to AmericanFinancing.net.

Do your own homework, but go to AmericanFinancing.net.

They're going to save you a boatload of money.

By the way, the original cost of that train, $10 billion, now expected to be $77 billion before it was canceled, up to $100 possibly, and would lose over a quarter billion dollars a year.

What celebrity is here?

That's a nice introduction, Glenn.

Thank you.

No, not for you.

And they'll say, oh, it's Elizabeth Johnston.

And you'll be like, who?

The people who know her love her, over 70 million views.

She is,

she's just a mom.

And she had enough.

And so she started blogging or vlogging, and

people are listening to her.

She's got a new book out, Not On My Watch, How to Win the Fight for Family, Faith, and Freedom.

Welcome, Elizabeth Johnston.

How are you?

Hi, Glenn.

Thank you so much for having me.

I'm great.

I'm trying not to wet my pants right now.

I did the math.

I did the math, and I've been listening to you for 18 years.

Oh, my gosh.

Wow.

Oh, my gosh.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And I haven't cured you of that yet.

No matter how hard I try.

Glenn, that gets too much.

back when you were doing more on trivia every Friday that's how far back I feel

okay so Elizabeth yeah

tell me about yourself first quickly

who you were before you were before you snapped

yeah I am a homeschooling mother of 10 children my obsession

My obsession these last 20 years have been my children, my husband,

educating my children.

And

really, we've been very active in the pro-life movement for 20 years.

But what really was the turning point for me was when Kim Davis went to jail for not being able to, according to her conscience, sign a same-sex marriage license.

And then when Obama issued his transgender bathroom directives, and I knew that our little daughters were going to be submitted to having men in their dresser rooms and locker rooms, I no longer recognized my country.

I was extremely alarmed, and I said, I have got to get off of the sidelines and get onto the front lines of culture.

That's when I filmed my first video, and the rest is history.

Lo and behold, there was a huge hunger for a bold and, when necessary, even confrontational response to the outrageous moral and social issues of the day.

So tell me about

some of the place, because I want to get into the what you've paid.

It's come at a high price.

But tell me, you know, Teen Vogue, for anybody who doesn't remember your involvement in that.

Yeah, we dealt Teen Vogue a black eye that they were never able to recover from, by the grace of God.

When Teen Vogue was teaching little children in a fashion magazine, Teenagers, how to have anal and oral sex with one another.

We had had enough.

And we built a bonfire in my backyard and I burned the magazine.

And that video was viewed, I think, about 15 million times.

And we started Operation Pull Teen Vogue.

I don't have a fund.

I don't have money or anything to work with.

When I say grassroots, this is as grassy and as rooty as it gets, what we do.

And

we started Operation Pull Teen Vogue and started calling their advertisers.

And

of course, the editor of Teen Vogue responded to us on Twitter by posting a picture shooting a bird at us with his rainbow-colored fingernail and a picture of him kissing his lover.

But we didn't, as parents, appreciate that that was how Teen Vogue responded to us.

They're not concerned at all about the sexualization of our children.

And so five months later, they shuttered their print edition.

They were the only...

only magazine of all of Condé Nath's magazines, Vogue, Glamour, Brides.

They were the only ones who had to shutter their print edition that year.

So I want to talk to you about abortion because you cover this in your new book.

You cover all of the issues that every parent is dealing with now.

But I want to talk to you about abortion because I think that

we've approached the cliff and we are looking into the abyss right now.

And if we don't pass this test,

if America doesn't stand and say, okay, you know what?

No,

we do not do what they're proposing in New York.

This state,

this law is immoral and wrong.

We have gone from, let's have an argument and we're making some progress to they have gone to the insane lines where the Nazis were.

And even the German people stood up.

If we don't pass this test, I think we fail as a nation.

Glenn, I agree.

I believe that this is not just a horizontal problem, a policy problem, that we have a very serious vertical problem between us as a culture and God.

We do not have God's heart on this issue.

And that is why we are organizing something right now that is the most important thing I have ever done.

And I know that you and your listeners are going to love this.

This is the day of mourning.

It is just a week and a half from now.

On February the 23rd, we are asking Americans to wear black to not shop to close down your businesses and to repent with us for the sin of abortion this is just a week and a half away on February 23rd if you go to dayofmourning org you will get all the information you need a toolkit there we are asking Americans to stand in solidarity with the pre-born you know we've tried a lot Glenn over the years we've tried a lot of different you know compromised pro-life measures just taking scraps from under the table from these politicians we've tried so many things over the years.

Can we try for a day as a nation to get on our faces before God and plead for Him to change our hearts and have mercy on us, and maybe He will hold back the judgment from us that we very much

deserve right now?

So, I'd ask your listeners to go to dayofmourning.org.

We're going to have a huge rally in Albany, New York.

The Benham brothers are going to be speaking there.

Black conservative David J.

Harris Jr., an eight-year-old abortion survivor, will be sharing with us.

It's not going to be a pep rally.

It's not going to be a fundraiser.

It is going to be a sober time of repentance and praying for God to send revival to us, which I know that you know so much about times in history where we've had a massive spiritual awakening.

Guys, we've got to admit.

That that is what we need more than anything right now.

And so if your listeners could get behind us and be at our Albany, New York rally, this thing is going viral and spreading now to over 10 cities that are going to be live streaming our event.

Again, with no money, this has become an expensive event, $20,000 for this venue in Albany.

I had to borrow $2,000 from my 16-year-old son a few days ago so we could buy plane tickets to get some of our speakers there.

But I just, God has put this on our heart, Glenn.

And we really believe that this is the call to action right now, the day of mourning.

So please go to dayofmorning.org, and I hope I can meet some of your listeners in in Albany, New York on the 23rd.

Where is it being held in Albany?

The venue is awesome.

The venue is actually the Empire State Plaza Convention Center Room.

And listen to this glance.

It is literally underneath the ground where Cuomo and the radical feminists signed and celebrated and cheered like they had won a Super Bowl game when they signed that infanticide law.

It's like Satan thought he had crushed us, but he didn't realize that we were just seeds.

And we're going to be the seeds under the ground who are going to rise out from under the ashes of this terrible infanticide law.

And we are going to see an end finally to the child killing, I believe, as a result of this.

You know, it's interesting,

and sorry to go, you know, religious on you here

more than we already have, but in my faith, all of our baptismal fonts are underground

because we believe that it is

dying and being

cleansed and rising again.

So, all of our baptismal fonts have to be in the basement level or

at the ground level underground.

And

it's striking to me that

you are holding this underground as you are

as you're mourning death and coming back up out from under the ground, hopefully renewed.

I'd like to talk to you more about this myself.

I'd like to help you in any way I can.

You are

facing pushback, and it's pretty extreme at times.

And

a lot of people, when you say you've got to stand up, a lot of people say, I can't lose my job.

I can't do this.

I can't do that.

Any thoughts on that for the average person?

I'm afraid that too often we think that

living for God

is more of a popularity contest than it is actually fighting and winning a battle.

And so when people say to me that they can't do what I do or they can't lose their job, they need to realize that I can lose everything because of what I do too.

A couple of weeks ago, I got an email that said, I will murder you and your children.

You have experienced this, of course,

on a larger scale over the years as well.

I have had unbelievably slanderous hit pieces written against me and my family and shared sixty thousand times on the Internet, unbelievable lies.

That could ruin us and that could ruin my husband.

My husband is a medical doctor, and people call my husband's hospital, they find where he works, and they tell lies about us.

They call us terrible names, child abusers, they make up things about us.

And so we can lose everything too.

And so please, you know, we can't use as an excuse our reputations and our jobs.

Do we love our stuff more than we love the future that we're going to hand down to the next generation?

That's my all-consuming thought at all times as I'm working, as I'm doing the activism, the ministry that we do.

I'm always thinking about my children and their children, my future grandchildren.

50 years of Christians sitting on their butts in pews doing nothing because Jesus is going to come back and rescue us all is what has landed us in this place.

We have got to see that we are to be the salt and light of the world.

We're not supposed to wait for Jesus to come back.

What if Jesus doesn't come back for 200 more years?

What kind of hellhole is this going to be at that point if we don't all rise up and do our job and do what we're supposed to do?

We are talking to an amazing woman, Elizabeth Johnston.

She is, you can find her at activistmommy.com.

Her new book is called Not on My Watch.

Do you remember, Elizabeth, me saying probably 12 years ago or so, there's nothing more powerful than when you start a sentence with,

I'm a mom.

I'm just a mom.

Okay?

Do you remember that?

I don't, but I'm...

I certainly do agree with you.

There's a power

with mama bears.

And really, that's the whole premise premise of my book is that I am seriously just an ordinary person who's been carrying a diaper bag around for 20 years doing the work of a mother.

And God uses ordinary people.

How often have we seen throughout history how God uses very ordinary people to do extraordinary things for him?

I am able every day to inspire so many people to find their voice who have said, I've been so afraid to speak and now I'm emboldened.

And God wants to use all of your listeners like that and so I always say whatever the issue is that you've put on your heart is it is it abortion you know maybe your family needs to go outside of an abortion clinic and pray together and offer help and hope for these women is it the transgender bathroom situation maybe you need to be in front of your city council saying no not on my watch we cannot allow this this is not right whatever that thing is you know what it is I don't you do do that thing be faithful in that little thing and and as you know David the the shepherd boy killed a lion and a bear with his bare hands,

if you will do that little thing, then you'll be amazed at the giant that God will end up giving you to slay.

Just be faithful.

Elizabeth Johnston, it is an honor to speak to you.

Thank you for your clarity.

Thank you for your courage.

And thank you for being an inspiration to so many.

The name of the book is not.

Thank you so much, Glenn.

You bet.

The name of the book is not on my watch, Elizabeth Johnston.

And I want to give the address again of dayofmourning.org.

That is the what date?

Is that happening, Elizabeth?

Oh, she's she's already gone.

This is the Glenbeck program.

This is Eric Christian, who was on the Wonderful World of Stew a few years ago, talking about the train disaster in California.

High-speed rail.

Listen.

Now, he got a little more in-depth in a second,

but just ponder what he just said there.

Okay, apparently, the audio is not working.

Let me give you this, though.

In 2008,

when the bill passed, it was supposed to be $10 billion.

Now it's supposed to cost $77 billion.

Jeez.

And they think it's going to be really over $100 if they ever actually completed it.

It was supposed to give people

a ride for $50 a person.

Now it's up to $81 a person.

This is actually a few years ago, some numbers are a little bit low.

It was supposed to take two hours and 40 minutes.

It's now supposed to be between 4 hours and 440.

What kind of high speed is that?

I know.

It was supposed to have 65 to 117 million riders in 2035.

That got downgraded a tad to 19.6 to 31.8.

So from 65 to 20, they downgraded how many people would actually be riding it.

It's supposed to cost between $124 million and $373 million a year just

to cover the costs of the train running.

How much do you lose every year?

That's what I mean.

About $373 million a year is expected on top of this $100 billion cost.

Oh my God.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

All right, let me tell you about Relief Factor.

Relief Factor has been helping me for the last year.

It's helped several people around the office.

It's 100% natural.

It's drug-free, it helps work on

your inflammation.

It suppresses inflammation, which is a cause of most of the pain.

You went to a point, it got to the point where you went to a 200-degree below-zero cryo chamber to try to ease your pain.

I did.

You actually did everything before you tried Relief Factor, which would have saved you some time and money, I will say.

Thank you.

You just would have tried it at the beginning, like everyone was telling you to.

Thank you.

I always want you to know, it hasn't, it's not a cure, it just makes your life livable without having drugs in your system.

And it has so greatly reduced my pain.

It's been a miracle for me, and I hope it will be for you too.

It is for 70% of the people who try it.

Just try it for three weeks.

If it doesn't work in three weeks, it won't work.

If it does, you get your life back.

Try it now.

Go to relieffactor.com.

That's relieffactor.com.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

I have to tell you, we've had a couple of people on today, and our next, the next voice you're going to hear in a couple of minutes

is not going to be an exception to this.

We've had amazing people on who have something really important to say.

And our next guest has already gone viral with her message that she gave just a few weeks ago.

I want to talk to her about that.

But she also has tremendous insight on what's happening in Venezuela, in Latin America, and also the state of the union.

You know, I'm such a dummy.

I know that last year they all dressed in black, you know, for, you know, what was it?

What is it?

Yeah, Me Too.

Boy, where has that been?

For the Me Too movement, they all wore all black.

So this year they wear all white, and I just think, oh, it's black and it's white.

Okay, I got it.

No, no, no.

No, no.

There's real deep significance behind that.

And you will not believe it when you hear the real story.

Dr.

Grazy Christie

joins us next.

This is the Glen Beck program.

All right.

U.S.

intelligence officials, in their annual threat assessment, just issued a warning on increased threats to our national security resulting from tighter cooperation between China and Russia.

Cyber war received central billing in this report, as it has for several years.

But get this.

The report says, God, I'm quoting, China for the first time

is capable of launching cyber attacks that could disable U.S.

critical infrastructure, such as disruption of the natural gas pipelines for days to weeks.

Look,

everything's being fought right now in ones and zeros.

Information,

all of the disinformation, the disruptions, it's all ones and zeros.

And when it happens, it's going to happen so fast, it's going to just be blinding.

Please, I urge you, I urge you, make sure you look at all of the stuff that you have in 401k and your IRA and everything else.

You look at what you have where you have it and spread out the risk as much as you can.

If you have money in a big bank, one of the big five, great.

Do you have any money in a local standalone bank?

Because you should.

May I suggest you also have gold or silver?

I've been dealing with gold line for a very long time, and I am telling you, there is going to come a time I'm more convinced today

than I ever have been that we are going to need gold or silver just to be able to survive for a little while.

Look at what's happened.

That's practically cannibalism in Seattle because of 20 inches of snow.

What do you think is going to happen if we have major disruption?

Please go to gold line and find out if gold or silver is right for you.

Gold is always the place where people run when insanity rules the planet.

And if we're not insane now, what does insanity look like?

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

Dr.

Grazie Christie

is from Miami.

And she gave this great talk at the Right to Life March, and it's gone viral.

You might have seen it, and I'm going to ask her about that.

But she's, because she's from Miami, she also

has, you're from Latin America, or your people are from Latin America, Grazie?

I am from Cuban parents.

My parents are Cuban, and I grew up in Mexico.

I've got it from all sides.

Okay, all right.

So you have this, just this great understanding of what is happening.

I think I just want to start with

what the white really signified, because I just read a story two days ago from the New York Times that the Democrats are concerned about Trump's stance on Venezuela because the Venezuelans could be like Cubans.

They could become conservatives and not vote for Democrats because the Democrats look like they're wrong on the Venezuelan policy.

And

so

they wear white

just by happenstance.

At least that's what I think.

Tell me the significance of the white that they were wearing

during the State of the Union.

So, the women in the State of the Union and Democrats, they were referring to suffragettes,

the old suffragettes of

women were wanting the vote.

And those women wore white when they demonstrated, or sometimes they did, I guess.

But when you're watching this from Miami and from other parts of the country, the optics are very different because to us here, the wearing of white is

done by women, especially, who demonstrate peacefully for human dignity and women who are being,

who live under an oppressive authoritarian system like the one in Cuba or the one in Venezuela.

So many years ago, women demonstrated in white in Argentina when their children were being disappeared by the government.

And so they demonstrated asking for information on their children who had been kidnapped and tortured.

In Cuba, women in white dress every Sunday they walk to church in Havana.

And on the way to church, these are women of political prisoners their wives and sisters and mothers they on the way to church they're harassed by Castro's forces so here in Miami dressing in white just looks stupid because

it signifies there is something called the

what is it the damas di Blanco

That's it.

That's what they're called in Spanish, the ladies of white.

Okay.

And they stand against oppression, and they stand against the oppression of government.

And so it is is a

not too subtle

in the Cuban or Venezuelan world or Latin American world, it's a not so subtle tip of the hat of, hey, we're standing against those who want to oppress, but

do they realize that the oppressor is the big government, the big Marxist government usually?

Yeah, but what's horrible watching it from here and understanding is that we know what real oppression looks like.

We know what it's like when the country, when the governing

dictatorship destroys your life and takes your children and your husband and just explodes the country.

So much suffering, so many years of suffering in Cuba and now Venezuela.

And then we just, we look at these women, these democratic women who are elites, who have everything on their plates.

Especially they have the right to protest.

their government without being afraid of being imprisoned and tortured.

So it just looks really bad from here.

We're talking to Dr.

Grazy Christie.

She is from Miami.

She is

with the CatholicAssociation.org,

the CatholicAssociation.org.

She spoke at the

right to life

rally,

and you talked about abortion and the fallacy that a woman's life is in danger and that's why we would perform a late-term abortion.

Can you address that?

Yes, so I did a very short little Twitter video explaining that when a woman is in her third trimester of pregnancy and

her life is in danger, which is a very rare occurrence, but it does happen, there is no need to abort the child.

That what can happen and what should happen is that the child should be delivered.

So a late-term abortion for the mother's health is never medically necessary.

The preferential option should always be to try to preserve both the life of the mother and the child.

I want to make sure that I have this right because I had a doctor tell me the other day that the right thing to do, if the mother, the health of the mother is really in jeopardy, it usually means cesarean section right now.

Get the child out of her right now.

Correct?

Exactly.

Exactly.

And that's a six-minute procedure in skilled hands.

So if there is a real urgency to end the pregnancy, the way to end the pregnancy is through a C-section, not an abortion, which destroys the child.

And

the other case is in destroying the child, that's a three-day process.

So if the mother's health is in danger, that would mean

we've got to move.

But this is a three-day process to kill and then actually give birth to a dead child.

Right.

And so when those women in white at the State of the Union address, When President Trump spoke out against third trimester, late trimester abortion, and they just sat there with their sour faces,

You know, this is what they're advocating.

They're advocating this crazy procedure where the child ends up dead versus a quick cesarean section where at least the child gets a chance of life and the mother will do just fine.

Your parents, being from Cuba and you growing up in that community,

I know Cuban refugees or

kids of the refugees from Cuba,

and they all, they know exactly what's coming.

How are your parents dealing with this right now, watching their new country now going through this?

What are they saying at night?

Well, what really astounds Cubans and other people who've lived through socialist nightmares is the way that the Democratic Party is embracing socialism.

That just flips us out.

We're just sitting there going, what?

This has already been tried and found disastrous and caused so much human suffering, so much pain.

So that's the where there's a lot of that going on down here.

How can we help the Venezuelan people?

You know,

we can't get into Venezuela.

The people that we have in Venezuela, they don't want to talk to us because they're afraid that they will be found and disappeared.

Maduro

has blocked all of the aid.

He knows whoever

controls the food wins.

I I mean, in the last election, which was totally rigged,

you know, he just

arrested people who are running against him.

But in the poorest areas, I can't remember what the slogan was in Spanish, but it translates to

you give, I give, meaning you give me your vote, and I'll give you the food.

You just have to vote for me.

He's blocking all the food and humanitarian aid because he knows he who has the food has control.

What do we do?

Well, he's got to be treated as the pariah that he is by the entire world, the entire political community of the world.

Also,

especially the United States.

And also, we have to remember that it's Cuba.

It's the dictatorship in Cuba that's keeping Venezuela going.

Right.

So I think also there has to be a big crackdown on our relations with Cuba because there's a lot of help coming over there from us in the way well, lots of different ways, but even just tourism.

So we're helping to prop up the Cuban economy, and the Cubans are spending a ton of money making Venezuela a hellhaul.

Also, Mexico.

Mexico is the president of Mexico, is one of the only in this hemisphere.

There's only two other countries, Cuba and I can't remember the other one, maybe Chile,

that are not,

they're still siding with Maduro.

Mexico, this guy, do you know anything about the new president?

Because I don't know much other than he is a he's a

die-hard Marxist.

But his.

All I know is my Mexican friends here, and there's a lot of Mexicans here in Miami, again.

Everyone in Miami is from somewhere else, as you know.

But they are really destroyed by the new president.

They really think he's going to be

it's another Venezuela, another

yes, yes, it's a very distressing thing to have a Marxist at the helm of that good country.

Doctor, I appreciate it.

I appreciate your strength and willingness to speak out.

How's your career doing now that you're

being so outspoken on abortion?

One of the things that's scared me a little bit is the amount of hate that's been poured on me over this,

especially my little Twitter thing that went viral.

And I'm surprised at how much personal animus

people think is appropriate to throw.

But I guess you're not surprised.

No, no, I'm not surprised.

I'm not surprised.

It's an honor to talk to you.

Thank you so much.

And I'd like to stay in touch with you because I think you have a unique view of what's happening in the world.

So thank you so much.

I'd be honored.

Thank you.

You bet.

From theCatholicAssociation.org, Dr.

Grazi Christie.

from Miami.

You're never more than 60 seconds away from our opinion and our news.

We're going to stop here for 60 seconds and tell you about Relief Factor, 100% drug-free.

It's created by doctors, and it's for people who are in pain.

And, you know, 50 million people are going to miss work today here in America because of pain.

50 million people have chronic pain, and they just can't deal with it.

And I understand.

And there are people that have bad backs, bad shoulders, you know, injuries, bad knees that work here.

And they're all taking Relief Factor.

People have been trying to tell me to take Relief Factor for a long time, but it's all natural.

And so I don't believe in that.

Until I got so desperate, I started taking it last Christmas, a year ago, Christmas.

They say, just try it for three weeks.

And that's what my wife said.

Just try it for three weeks.

If it doesn't work, what do you have to lose?

Just try it.

Why are you so stubborn?

Okay, all right.

She sounds terrible.

But she is.

Wow.

She's all over you.

She's awful.

Why does she treat you that way?

I know.

And she sounds just like that.

She's really yes, yes, she does.

So, anyway, I tried it for three weeks, and she was right.

And so, I missed the last part there.

Yeah, well, you miss a little, you miss a lot, don't you?

So, here's the thing: it's Relief Factor.

Go to relieffactor.com, relieffactor.com, and get out of pain.

We pause now for 10 seconds, station ID.

You know,

I love shows like today, and I hate shows like today.

I mean, I love shows like today because we talk to people who are just amazing, and they're putting it all out there.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

That's pretty inspiring.

That's very inspiring.

And then every time I'm in those interviews, I'm like, you are such a slug.

What are you doing?

That's what I think about you, too, in those moments.

Right?

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

That's so weird.

We came to the same conclusion.

It's so strange because my wife was just saying, you should fire stew.

And I'm like, no, don't fire stew.

You should do that.

Was I right about relief factor?

Again, you should listen to her.

But so I think.

So you're saying that you feel like you should be out there more doing it.

You know, don't you ever feel that way?

Don't you feel like...

No, you don't.

I'm not much of an activist.

Yeah, I'm not either.

I don't.

I'm not either, but I feel like

we're supposed to be, you know,

I don't know.

I don't know.

It's hard.

This job, for me, at least, is hard because I'm sitting here.

I'm getting paid.

You know,

I mean, what are the troubles in my life?

Right.

No, I understand that feeling.

I mean, I think you have to look at it from a broader perspective.

I mean, we talked to the activist mommy last hour who's making a real impact with an event in Albany about abortion and 70 million video views and a new book out and everything.

And as she kind of alluded to, I mean, one of the reasons she's doing all this is because of you.

She listened to this show over a long period of time in the show on Fox and maybe CNN and maybe Blaze TV and all these things.

And there has to be some people who everyone has a role, right?

Yeah.

And I think that that is

ambitious.

I guess maybe we all feel this way.

Maybe other people, maybe she at times feels like, oh, if I just had, you know, the, if I just had Glebbeck's job, then it would be different.

You know, maybe, I don't know.

But it's just, I guess we just have to all be comfortable with our own roles.

Because, like, the first thing I thought of is, I want to be in Albany next week.

Is it next week?

Next 23rd, they're doing the event in Albany, which is,

it's the week preceding, like, CPAC.

Am I going to CPAC?

Am I speaking at CPAC?

There are rumors of this.

I don't know for sure if it's confirmed.

I think it's

happening, but I don't know for sure.

I got a note from Matt Schlapp and he said, hey, you want to speak?

And I said, sure.

But I haven't heard anything else, so I don't know if I'm

going.

Yeah.

Anyway,

setting up something like that is a big deal.

You've done some of that, obviously.

The rallies,

going back to the rally for America back in the day, or to all of the restoring events that have happened over the years.

I mean, I think that's part of what we do here.

But I mean, I think it's more than that.

One of the things you talked about through all of those events was we need to find the next George Washington.

We need to find the next person who's going to be doing that.

And they are standing up.

Yeah, and it's happening more and more.

That is encouraging.

Unfortunately, I think the left is also getting that same thing happening where they're finding their people that stand up.

And they can empower people so quickly.

You know, it's amazing is what we found out last night on last night's show.

We were playing Connect the Dots like we used to on Fox because there's a whole new group of people connecting dots to.

And

we sat there like a bunch of dummies looking at the State of the the Union address and the rebuttal.

And how many people do you know say, why did they pick the woman who lost the Georgia governor's election?

Why would you pick her?

Well, we found out last night.

We were connecting the dots.

She is the elite's elite pick.

She's the one who is.

talking about reparations and all of these really crazy things.

And they're not done with her.

They just think that she is a superstar and it's the same group of people, Democracy Alliance, you know, the George Soros group,

and Media Matters, all those, all those guys.

That's who they are, they're pushing.

That's why she was there.

Not because the Democratic Party said it, but because that's one of their new up-and-coming stars.

And they, they, man.

They do have a good system at that, don't they?

Where we don't.

We feast on each other.

We're still trying to get people to stop fighting with each other who are all conservatives.

Every freaking 10 seconds is another conservative bashing another conservative.

I mean, that's just endless.

Stop it.

But I mean, look at Ecasio-Cortez is a decent example of this.

Remember, all these people that are now embracing Ecasio-Cortez all endorsed Joe Crowley in the race.

They all wanted her opponent to win, not her.

He was a longtime Democrat that had been there forever.

He was up near the leadership of the Democratic Party.

He had all the friends in Washington, all the people wanted him to win, not her.

Now that she's there, they're all acting like they're on her side.

And you know what?

As soon as the heat kind of comes off of Ocasio-Cortez, which it's already starting to happen at some level, the Green New Deal has not been, there's not been a positive rollout.

I don't think anybody would argue that.

The idea that, you know, once the heat goes off of that, they'll go to somebody else.

You know, but they do empower people quickly.

They try to take advantage of those things.

The Republicans run.

I saw an article about this.

I can't remember where I saw it, but someone was writing about how Republicans have just stopped even going on talk radio shows.

This is the entire basis of the party for 20 years.

And largely, they've just stopped going on these shows at all to try to explain to their base what they're trying to do.

And it's because they've been called out too many times for their failures.

But, I mean, if you don't do that, you're not going to get these people stepping up for you when you're trying to do something that's going to help the country and the Constitution.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Okay, so you know the old phrase, when it rains, it pours,

weirdly accurate, especially when your car dies or you need a major repair, you know?

Usually that's right after your hot water tank has just exploded or you have a huge medical bill or you're tapped out from Christmas then all of a sudden

or the dreaded check engine light service light comes on no no no no I'm that's when I

where can I find the fuse for the service light to make it go back out again

that's why you absolutely need extended vehicle protection from car shield car shield makes the process of fixing your car for a covered repair super easy

yeah you don't have to care you don't you don't have to care what it costs you don't have to care what this the situation is you just get it done easily your car has 5 000 150,000 miles on it, doesn't mean you have to pay high repair bills.

Car Shield has already paid out over $2 billion in claims.

They pay it directly to the mechanic.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Al Gore made a movie called The Inconvenient Truth.

And I remember when Stu went,

or when I went, Stu was holding his breath.

He had already seen it, and he knew, oh man, if Glenn gets his teeth into this one, and he's swayed by the, you know, whatever.

And I walked out of it and I went, that was a powerful movie.

And I called you from the lobby of the movie theater and I said,

give me all the other side.

I want to hear all the other side.

And we debunked it piece by piece and it led to a book, An Inconvenient Book, which had inconvenient facts, but that was only part of that book.

There's a new book out now called Inconvenient Facts, The Science That Al Gore Doesn't Want You to Know.

And the author, Gregory Whitestone, is a Wrightstone, is with us now to go over some of it.

How are you, Greg?

I'm good.

Thanks for having me on.

Thank you.

Yeah, you bet.

You bet.

Okay, so we were just talking off-air about forest fires.

Let's start there on

what climate change is doing to the state of California.

Yeah, it's just awful.

Did you know that forest fire, the number of forest fires actually are declining in California?

According to Cal Fire, that's the source of all fire-related data in California.

According to Cal Fire, the number of fires have declined by almost 50% over the last 30 years.

Now, granted, the area burned has increased, but the area burned has nothing to do with global warming or climate change, but rather poor, poor forest management.

Well, Greg, it has everything to do with there's no water in California, and it's getting hotter in California.

Well, the dirty little secret is with fires, there's three things we need

for wildfires and forest fires.

You need an ignition source, you need fuel, and then you need arid conditions.

And you know what we're doing?

Man's actions are actually contributing negatively to all three, but it's not because of global warming.

The Sierra Nevada Conservancy says there are four to five times as many trees per acre today

than what a normal healthy forest should have.

Four to five times too much.

And what that means is, of course, more fuel.

That's easily understood.

But what it also means is the second largest source of aridity of loss of soil moisture is the moil that's sucked out of the out of the ground and the soil

from the trees.

So now you've four to five times too many trees competing for that same scarce soil moisture.

When you think about it now, it's leading to the aridity, and there's estimated 1,000% increase in the last 40 years of people living in fire-prone areas.

So now we get ignition sources up, we got more fuel, and we got more aridity, and it's not due to climate change or global warming.

Of course, that causes a lot more damage when the fire actually happens, too.

We've got a lot more homes to burn.

Intensity, area burn in California has increased.

So necessarily each fire is about twice as big as it used to be.

But the good news, Glenn, that goes unreported is that worldwide fires, the number of fires is declining and it's the experts.

Well, but it's probably those fires are put out because of all the hurricanes that are happening.

Yeah, but that would be area burned.

They're talking about number of fires.

Once that fire ignites, they count it.

So even if it's put out, it's counted.

So what we find is soil moisture across the the world is increasing, and the fire experts tell us it's because of climate change, increasing precipitation, and the climate alarmists will say, well, that'll lead to flooding, and it might in some cases.

But the good news is we're seeing increased soil moisture around the world.

And then because of increased CO2 fertilization effect, plants need less water.

Okay, all right.

But I mean,

you're such a denier.

Let's go to the real facts.

Let me take you to the real facts.

The polar ice caps are melting.

The polar bears are having to move

down into civilization because

they have no ice.

They have no more ice.

And at the same time, you see how hot it's getting, and at the same time, how cold it's getting all around the world.

Answer that one.

Yeah, well, sea ice is diminishing in the northern polar ice cap.

Just as an aside, before we go any farther, you may not realize you could melt the entire northern polar ice cap and it would have scarcely any effect on sea level.

And the reason is it's ice that's floating on the ocean.

So as it melts, it displays.

So

it's only land-based glaciers that cause sea level rise.

But what we have, and in my new app, I've got

a chart showing the decline of sea ice and then comparing it to the increase in population of polar bears.

So as sea ice has been diminishing, polar bears are increasing.

Now, granted, part of it's because we stopped doing trophy hunting,

but certainly the loss of sea ice hasn't hurt them to any measurable extent.

And the study related in the book, they compared bears in a high ice loss area along Russia to the areas of bears that didn't have much.

And those bears where there was a lot of ice loss,

Man, they were fat and happy.

They were much, much heavier, more successful than the bears where there there was a lot of ice.

I would say, too, I also have an update on a stat that we talk about all the time when it comes to polar bears.

I mean, back in the 60s, it was about 5,000 polar bears that existed.

And we talk all the time, Glenn.

We said this just the other day, that it's up to about 25,000.

And that number had come from the mid-2000s-ish.

So I honestly hadn't seen an update in quite some time.

You have an update in the book.

Yeah, it's 2017.

Susan Crockford's probably the top polar bear expert.

And I communicated to her.

I wanted to get the best data.

We published the book about a year ago.

We've got a new app that's come out.

I contacted, we were back and forth.

I said, what's the best data you have to date?

And that's what's incorporated in the app, confirmed what I have in the book there.

And the average, now, bear in mind, it's dangerous and pretty tough to measure polar bear populations because

apparently

people taste a lot like seals because we're on the polar bear map.

But

her average, she estimates 28,500.

So it's increased since that red.

Because I remember the first time I heard 5,000 to 25,000, I thought it was impossible.

Bear in mind, there's an error bar like this.

So it might be off by a couple thousand because it's pretty tough to.

The bottom line is we haven't seen a significant decrease.

Oh, that's a good thing.

It's definitely been increasing.

It's just how much?

That's the question.

When it comes to the fires, let me back up a little bit to that.

One of the things that people will say when it comes to these fires getting worse is we just have had so much drought.

There's more drought now than there's ever been before, and that's causing all of these problems to get worse.

Again, what we're being told flies in the face of the science and the facts.

I think at this point it might be, might be interesting for your viewers to find out that I didn't set out to write a book.

I set out to seek the truth.

And it was that search for the truth that led me to this.

And that was one of the stunning things about drought and forest fires.

When I found out that actually droughts were in a slight decline and especially the big droughts were declining, I just, I said, wow.

And I said, no one knows that.

No one knows that.

Yeah.

Everyone knows that.

So there might be droughts here and there, but overall.

Right.

Exactly.

Droughts have always been with us.

They always will be.

The good news is the most severe droughts are being exacerbated mainly by that increase in soil moisture we talked about before.

And this increase in soil moisture alleviates those droughts.

I've got a chart in the book and on my app showing the most intense and significant droughts of the 20th century.

And if you look at those, those are the really bad ones, the

Dust Bowl, the Sahel droughts.

There were a number, I think there were 28 that they recognized in the 20th century.

But we find that most of those, almost all of them, were before 1960.

So as CO2 has increased, as temperature increased, and yes, temperature, we're in a temperature increase thankfully we have been for the last 300 years

you say thankfully and you actually show that pretty well in the book oh yes

when it comes to you know the the amount of greens that were greenery were we able to grow I mean it's increased almost everywhere in the entire world yeah and also it's fascinating if you look over

human history If we look over the last 4,500 years, each of the warming trends that we've seen, the Minoan, the Roman, the medieval warm period.

Each one of these correlated to a benefit of civilization.

We see a great correlation between the rise and fall of temperature and the rise and fall of civilizations.

If you were Emperor Glenn in a warm period, you had it good because you could feed your subjects.

Food was bountiful.

People had time to dream, to tinker, to invent.

In the cold periods, Just again, opposite of what we're being told, the cold periods were where bad things happened consistently.

Famine, crop failure, pestilence, mass depopulation.

Cold is very, very bad.

And in the Little Ice Age, which was just recently, we started warming at the end of this late 17th century.

And it's that beneficial warmth that we're recognizing today.

Yeah, but if it stays on this worst-case projections, we'll be as hot as the sun in a thousand years.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, that's the problem.

Exactly.

Is they take these projections and then say, worst-case scenario well that's not happened to the world before and if you look back how many how many uh hothouse and ice house periods have there been yeah there have been most of the earth has been significantly going back to the pre-Cam have been significantly warmer than we are today by as much as 15 to 20 times or degrees Fahrenheit wow

15 to 20 times hotter significant it's called hothouse events or or ice house events which is what we're in now uh during ice house events, we have ice at both poles or one of the poles.

During the hothouse, there's no ice on Earth.

Really?

But the key thing here is we look at carbon dioxide.

It's in the past up until now is consistently

temperature has caused carbon dioxide to change.

In other words, when it warms, the oceans vent carbon dioxide, so carbon dioxide increases.

During cold periods, it sucks up.

I know it sounds counterintuitive, but if you put a liter of ginger ale in your refrigerator, right, you open it up and it goes,

you put that out on your patio in August and open it up, and man, it's like a volcano.

And what that's doing is spewing the carbon dioxide.

And we have that same event happen with a warming ocean.

So actually the temperature change precedes changes in CO2.

When did CO2 become bad?

Because I remember being taught in school.

Were you taught this still?

Yes, yes.

That what you, that

the miracle of the circle of life

is poison to man.

Enough of that.

You breathe out what you can no longer use, but the trees breathe it in, and they breathe out poison to them, if you will.

Just the air that we can breathe, the oxygen that we breathe.

And it's this circle.

Is that even taught anymore?

I don't know about that.

I know you and I learned it.

Did you learn that?

I did learn it.

Yep.

You've hit on an important point here, Glenn, is that they need to demonize carbon dioxide, and they need to demonize it terribly because this drives all of these anti-the environmental people, the keep it in the ground movement, the anti-fossil fuel, the divestment movement on college campuses.

It's all driven by a demonization of carbon dioxide.

They're saying that carbon dioxide is driving dangerous increases in temperatures, and that those dangerous increases in temperatures will necessarily lead to catastrophic events.

Well,

what these predictions are, and they're predictions, they're based on failed climate models of what may happen 30, 50, or 80 years in the future.

What I've done in the book and in the app is to say, well, what's actually happening today?

And we've been warming for 300 years.

We've been adding significant CO2 for, well, since the end of World War II.

Shouldn't we recognize something bad happening by now?

But yet, no, we see crops continue to increase, not entirely due to it, but a significant contributor is warming temperatures, lengthening growing seasons, and increasing CO2 leading to CO2 fertilization.

And we see these bad things that are predicted just ain't happening.

I mean, even the UN says the net benefit

increased CO2 levels until I think it's about 2080 is a net benefit for the globe.

Which is a statement you'd never hear said.

That doesn't mean they don't have negative consequences in some parts.

This is, again, the UN saying this, but they say net net for the globe, it's actually a benefit until about 2080.

Yeah, yeah.

I don't think the UN is a good person to use because they've got a history of failed predictions.

But you're right, but even if they're saying it,

and of course, their intergovernmental panel on climate change is the UN

Climate Alarmist organization.

There are things that they capture that they kind of say

tucked away here and there that I've publicized here as an inconvenient fact.

And so this, yeah.

Can you tell us about the app here before we leave?

Yeah, real quick.

Yep.

App store, Google Play Store, search for inconvenient facts.

It's awesome.

It's powerful.

It puts this information in the palm of your hands.

It's well sourced, well referenced, and videos linked to each one of these.

That's correct.

So this is something that you can have in your pocket at all the time.

So, when you meet a climate alarmist, you go to the app and it will help you with the charts and the graphs.

Everything is sourced.

Everything is triple-checked to make sure that it's exactly right.

And you have the argument.

So, you're not going, geez, I wish I heard that guy.

I wish I would have listened or written it down.

Or I did write it down and now I don't have the paper.

It's there on your phone with Inconvenient App.

Get the Inconvenient A.

Thank you so much.

Thanks for having me, Claire.

You bet.

God bless.

All right, we are going through a time period right now where

you're being tracked on everything.

There's a new book out about,

what is it, surveillance capitalism, where we're being surveilled because it makes our life easier, but you're also being surveilled and letting people in that you don't want to have any of your information.

That's why never use public Wi-Fi, but you need a virtual

private network.

Virtual means it's not running off of your network.

It's actually running some other place.

It bounces around.

Have you ever seen the movies where they're like, trace that call, trace that computer, and it's bouncing all around?

That's a VPN.

And it goes,

and it's going across the screen.

And that's how you know it's official because it makes that little noise.

Exactly right.

They're like, just 20 more seconds and we have them.

That's a VPN.

And what it does is it stops even things like Facebook from just tracking you.

You know, they're now tracking.

They think you're in, you know, Sweden.

So the ads might be a little different sometimes with this.

But the people to trust with the secure VPN is Norton.

Norton has been doing security forever.

Don't trust the Facebook VPN.

They're tracking you.

Norton Secure VPN.

Remember, anything that is free means you're the product.

This isn't free, but it's $3.33 a month.

That's it.

That's where they start.

And you can get that right now.

You just download the app, you log in, and then every time you open it, it takes care of it for you.

It's Norton Secure VPN.

I want you to sign up now, get an annual subscription.

Starts at $3.33 a month.

You do that now.

All you have to do is go to norton.com/slash VPN.

That's norton.com slash VPN.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.
