Starting point is 00:03:59 You know, the commercial you just heard was from the Consumers Research Institute, and they're releasing ads that I think are quite effective against some of these corporations. And Coca-Cola is just one of those woke corporations. And, you know, the question is whether or not these things will work. And they will if they're heard. You know, the best way to knock somebody down, I think, is with humor. It is, it's the most viral. It's why they've done everything they can to allow John Stewart to go.
Starting point is 00:04:48 And anyone else who makes a comedic reference at all, you're called a racist or whatever. Because they say you're serious. Well, that was a joke. Well, was it really a joke? and they know the power of parody and comedy. That's why Saturday Night Live is gone all woke. They don't understand that people are sick of it. So what is going to be even more popular are those people who are really on the underground now.
Starting point is 00:05:24 We are on the, we're the underdog. We're the underground. We're the we're the ones. that are not controlling culture now. And that always has power. Play that commercial again one more time, will you please? We taught the world to sing in perfect harmony. You're watching on the blaze.
Starting point is 00:05:55 The pictures are amazing. We say we're woke. We sell drinks, bad as smoke. China is our labor supplier that drives our service. Stock price is feeling higher What the world knows today Obesity won't go away Stations
Starting point is 00:06:19 Oh my God This is just What the world Knows today Neatine Diabetes A thing Woka Co
Starting point is 00:06:39 Stations just so you know I will be adding an extra unit today and maybe the rest of the week for the Woka Cola commercial. You know, the real target there is not Coca-Cola in Atlanta, but the real target should be your local bottlers. Because these guys most likely agree with you. They're living in your community. And believe me, believe me, I know this is the way to wake Coke up from
Starting point is 00:07:17 their wokeness is if you go to the local bottlers and you say, what the hell are you doing? I'm not going to carry any of your products anymore. I'm going to switch because I can't, I cannot take it what the, what Coca-Cola is doing. These bottlers are local. All of the people that work there are local.
Starting point is 00:07:41 And they will call Coca-Cola and say, can you please stop it? You're killing me in the, community without the local bottlers Coca-Cola is over they cannot exist without the local bottlers and their local independent modelers
Starting point is 00:08:00 that's the pressure point so that so it would be difficult for a local bottler to be like I'm going to switch to to what like RC I'm going to this has been done before with another giant soft drink company. You're giving me that believe me look,
Starting point is 00:08:21 which makes me think you know more than you're letting on. But as... I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about. It's not like I have talked to other sugary soft drink people. No, I know. I definitely know that. But just so you're saying that maybe if the local bottlers are aware of this,
Starting point is 00:08:45 of the front. frustrations of the community. Not just aware, but really aware. Right. Really aware of. And again, when we're talking, because I will say this, when I look at that ad, it's very well done. It's very funny.
Starting point is 00:08:57 It's very good. The visuals aren't very funny. You hate to be the stock photo person who is the example of diabetes. I hate, you know. Yeah, I know. That's just sad. It's not a stock photo either. It looks like it was shot for this.
Starting point is 00:09:08 It does look like it was shot for this. And like, you know, they're talking about all the problems that Coke faces all the time. stuff like the accusations of obesity and and and and diabetes diabetes um and how bad my problem with coke is is is not obesity or diabetes it is their wokeness and you know the fact that they're telling their employees they need to be less white which is racist yeah full stop racist um but believe me though like if you're a soft drink you don't want to be especially in a time when when these kinds of brands are going away.
Starting point is 00:09:47 Yeah. They're all going away because people are starting to go, I want to be a little more healthy and this is crap and everything else. You lose Coca-Cola. That's a real hit. And the point to your Coca-Cola is...
Starting point is 00:10:01 This can stop. All you all stop. It'll all stop. Just stop telling us to be less white. Stop injuring the people who drink your product. And I will tell you that nothing is going to stop unless you are actually heard.
Starting point is 00:10:22 You know, there was an article today, I think it was in, let me see if I can find it, it was in the Federalist, and it was all about how if Americans, if Americans could just understand the power that they have, if conservatives would understand the power that they have. These things are not being changed by these corporations because initially they wanted to. It's because this army, this woke army, they go to shareholder meetings. They go locally. They are relentless.
Starting point is 00:11:06 And what do we do? Let me give you a story. Do you remember when Target took out a, um, a couple of books and drop them because they were they were just doing damage to people. And one was irreversible damage by Abigail Shrier. And the other one was The End of Gender by Deborah So. Both friends of ours and been on the program about these things. And they are very well documented and very well thought out.
Starting point is 00:11:37 And you may not like what they have to say, but it is backed by, dare I say it science so because of the wokeness of Target they decided that they were going to pull the books because of a Twitter user
Starting point is 00:11:58 a Twitter user decided to complain that the books they didn't like them being sold because they were dangerous to people and so they removed the books well this was a backlash Do you remember this?
Starting point is 00:12:13 Everybody rose up and said, That's crazy. And so what did Twitter do? They reversed the ban the very next day. End of story. All of us went back and we're like, oh, okay, we won that. We pushed Target back.
Starting point is 00:12:26 You know what's really strange is Abigail Shrier has just tweeted that her book is unavailable on Target again. Now, why isn't it available on Target? Well, the good folks at, this is actually National Review, decided to look into it. And both irreversible damage and the end of gender, once again available, are now once again unavailable on Target's website. So they called up and asked Target investor relations, why are these apparently banned again? The answer? Despite their rapid reversal last fall on the face of widespread.
Starting point is 00:13:07 outrage, we have introduced a new set of guidelines that determines what books people can buy from Target. Now, this is clearly a matter of controversy and interest to shareholders and the general public, but they didn't do it with any press notifications. They declined to answer why they didn't actually announce this. however their new book banning policy was instead hidden away on the obscure corner of their website. So they had negative reactions to book banning. It's so weird post-1930s that that would happen.
Starting point is 00:13:55 I'm really shocked that people don't like that policy. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. So why did they do this quietly? because they don't want anyone messing around with their wokeness. Officially, Target reserves the right to remove any book that has the potential to cause harm to an individual or a group of people based on race, gender identity, sexual orientation, and so on. Ooh. So if you are engaging in what they call exclusion, a conveniently vague term, how do we define, exclusion. Can we what books should be excluded or is that definition always evolving?
Starting point is 00:14:41 Well, I know they said and so on. So maybe that's what they meant with Deborah So. They were just like so on. No, there's no age on the end of that. Yeah. This spring Target rolled out new guidelines that shape our book assortment. These guidelines put more definition around harmful comment, content that will be excluded. As a result, some books previously in our assortment are no longer falling within these guidelines. Oh, that's sad. So here's the thing. We have to change.
Starting point is 00:15:10 We are now the outsiders. We are the underdogs. We are the revolutionaries. We are not in charge anymore. And we feel as though we have been. But I never felt like we were in charge. I thought we were all in it together. I thought all of us believed in the,
Starting point is 00:15:30 Bill of Rights. I thought all of us believed in, you know, that's a bad book. I don't want to read that, but go ahead and sell it. I thought we all would would fight and die for your right to say it, even if I didn't agree with it. We don't. We don't. And it feels as though we are outnumbered. And because of the media and now social media, they want you to feel outnumbered. Look, if you really are in a vast minority, why are they silencing everyone? If there's only a few of us that believe these things, why are they silencing voices? Because we'll convince the woke? No.
Starting point is 00:16:18 We're never going to convince Coca-Cola, those people who actually work there and who believe it, we're never going to convince them that they're wrong. They know that they've got to silence the majority. so we all just stand in line and we feel very, very alone. We have to start showing up at shareholder meetings. We have to start getting engaged. And I hate to say it, but we have to start boycotting. I told you last week about Ben and Jerry's.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Ben and Jerry is, they're not going to change their anti-Zionism, their anti-Israel thoughts. However, their local. outlets, those outlets that are carrying Ben and Jerry's, if you start saying to those people, I'm not going to shop at your store anymore because you're carrying Ben and jerrys and they are anti-Israel and anti-Semites. And I'm not going to do business with people who do anti-Semitic people, a business with anti-Semitic people. You start doing that and you will change.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Believe me, Ben and Jerry's will go back into their little hole because they're going to have to or they'll be broke. That's what they've done to all of us. And unless we fight fire with fire, you're going to start seeing fighting with actual fire. And nobody wants that. You've got to start standing up. Look at the difference you're starting to make with a critical race theory. It is changing. We just have to keep the heat on.

We welcome from the incredibly popular podcast. What's Pat's? I was thinking about another podcast. What's the name of Pat's podcast? Pat Gray Unleashed. Oh, Pat Gray unleashed. You know, from that podcast, here is Mr. Pat Gray.
Starting point is 00:24:18 Hello, Pat. That was funny. It was funny. Yeah, I laughed. Inside. I'm laughing. Yeah, you're laughing. Yeah, inside. So what do you have on your plate today? Did you, have you seen what's going on in Australia?
Starting point is 00:24:31 Yeah. Yeah. You mean with the military showing up? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The lockdowns, the military going door to door. Look at this.
Starting point is 00:24:40 I think we have the video of the people in the park. There's a guy doing yoga in the park out by himself, but he didn't have a mask on. So police come and cuff him behind his back and then drag him. him off and arrest him. Can we play that? Maybe we don't have it. No, it don't have it. Oh, is it in your pile of stuff?
Starting point is 00:25:05 It was in my pile of crap, yeah. But do you know, do you know how severe their situation is with the COVID-19 problem? It's really bad. It's really, really bad. It's no wonder they've gone off the deep end. Well, they're not vaccinating.
Starting point is 00:25:21 They're not vaccinating at all, right? Yeah, and thus, 924 people have done. since this began. On the whole continent. Whole continent. 25 million people, 924 people. That is outrageous.
Starting point is 00:25:37 That's outrageous. What are they doing? It's like, I mean, is there anybody left? Yeah, there's only 24 million, you know, 900 and something of us left. So, you know, the good news is that I think the people of Australia are starting to feel the tyranny. here and they don't like it at all. And so they'll grab their guns and they'll start going. Oh, wait.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Oh, hold it just a second. They turned in all their guns. Yeah, they did. Darn it. Yeah, they did. Turn it, darn it, darn it, darn it. Well, you know, and to me, this is just a precursor of what could be in store for everybody. I mean, this is a free country. This is a country that appreciates the audience.
Starting point is 00:26:19 They don't have guns. Yeah, let's just, let's just remember that. These are countries that don't have guns. Both Australia and the UK. Yeah. Well, they did a gun buyback program. Yeah, I bet they wish they had that money and could give it back and get their gun right now. Yeah, I mean, look, I don't think that they're necessarily going to go into an armed revolution right now.
Starting point is 00:26:42 You know, what does it take? Seriously, I mean, yes, yes, yes, yes. But I mean, what does it take? Your country is being destroyed. It's 900 people. And now your own, your own citizens. in the military are being told to keep you inside at all cost.
Starting point is 00:27:03 This is insanity. Well, to be fair, don't do yoga. In a park by yourself. You can't. That's just silly. That's like that kid, remember that guy in Colorado that was playing baseball with his kid way away from everybody else?
Starting point is 00:27:17 Yeah. And they were like 20 feet away. Good thing we put him in jail. Yeah. Right. I hope he's not out. Right. The bastard.
Starting point is 00:27:23 I hope he didn't get a lot in jail. I hope they beat him senseless. before they put him behind bars. Well, it's about time. We start beating people's senses, isn't it? Sure is. Sure is. Like, well, you mentioned this earlier, Glenn,
Starting point is 00:27:35 and like, in theory, right? You have a continent of your own, right? It's an island, essentially. You're not letting anybody come. You're not letting anyone in. You're not letting anyone out. You can, I guess, crack down enough to limit cases and limit the spread of the virus. Like, there is some level of lockdown you can do this with.
Starting point is 00:27:52 However, on the other side of that, there has to be a strategy for the same thing. to end. And what Australia has done is lockdown super hard anytime they see any sign of the virus. So they've been able to keep everything super low. And I don't mean lockdown US style lockdown where we all still kind of go do our thing and it's annoying. It's open. Home Depot is open and Walmart. Like they shut down hard. Like you can't walk your dog. And so they've done all that. And then they have 12% of their population vaccinated. So like what is the other side of this? Like, it's one thing if you want to lock down until, in theory, you get everybody vaccinated,
Starting point is 00:28:29 which, again, is a problem in another direction. But, like, what's, eventually, you're going to have to let your people go out. And they're not going to have any immunity. And they're going to have any immunity. And they're going to get it. You can't keep people inside all the time. No. This is, you know what this is, is, you know, this is the extreme example of, well, you can
Starting point is 00:28:51 stop wearing masks and we go as soon as we get a vaccine. Well, as soon as it calms down, we don't. don't have the hospitals overrun. Yeah. Then it's, well, when we get the vaccine. Well, the vaccine's not good enough. They just cut right to the end. They're just like, we're never letting people out.
Starting point is 00:29:06 At least we're being honest. And it is weird coming from Australia because we think of them as having similar sensibilities as us, right? I mean, yes. Instead, it's a penal colony again. Yes. I mean, honestly, you have those, you have spiders that size. I'm staying in anyway.
Starting point is 00:29:26 That's true. There's no reason to go outside in Australia. And I want a gun because I would shoot those spiders. Have you seen them? They're like, what is it? Three feet? They're like three feet across. That's not even a spider.
Starting point is 00:29:39 That's, um, oh, yeah. I've never seen a spider three feet across. Oh, I'll show you a picture of one. It was, uh, oh, no, I'll show you a picture of one. I got to find it when we're off air. But I, I've got a picture of one. Wow. Because it, I could not believe it.
Starting point is 00:29:54 They were telling me when I went to Australia. They were like, oh, yeah, you see the one that was just found in a barn? I'm like, no. They're like, yeah, there's this barn that was there. And, you know, these old people owned it. And when the new buyers came in, they opened up the door and they saw a spider web, those three feet across. What? No way.
Starting point is 00:30:12 The spider web is three feet across. No, the spider. Wow. That's. And they saved it. They put it like in a zoo or something because they're like, hey, there's a big spider. Yeah. Let's kill it.
Starting point is 00:30:25 No wonder the entire country was on fire. That was probably the smart thing to do. You see a spider like that. You'd like the continent on fire. You're like, no, thank you. No, thank you. So we have the mayor of Washington, D.C. I don't know if you've seen Muriel Bowser,
Starting point is 00:30:46 what she's done. But she had an indoor mask mandate. She announced it citywide. I love this. indoor mask mandate Thursday. And it's effective Saturday at 5 p.m. Which was convenient for her because she threw herself a celebrity studied birthday party on Friday night. It's so good.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Nobody wore the masks. Yep. Then she officiated on Saturday morning a maskless outdoor wedding in Washington. And then apparently a maskless indoor reception. Now, the birthday party was not a surprise, so she knew that was happening, but the mask mandate wasn't in. But neither was the wedding. She knew about the wedding, too. She's not just violating.
Starting point is 00:31:35 She is knowingly putting into action a mask mandate that she intended to violate. And again, her activity at an outdoor wedding is completely appropriate, even in. in the COVID era. There's no reason to believe there's any problem with that. However, she's the one who implemented the rule. And it was also the reception was inside. Yeah. And the reception was inside.
Starting point is 00:32:04 Inside. So, so which is it? She either wants to spread the COVID-19 through unmasked parties and she's like, I'm going to do it myself. Right. Or she believes that vaccinated people are safe and can gather together. And she's right. She's right.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Obviously. That's what it is. This is what's so silly about it. It's like a lot of times we complain about these celebrities doing these things and politicians. And usually what they're doing is something that's actually sensible. It's fine, but it's against their own rules. And did you see? Okay, so it was a reporter, a journalist from the Washington examiner that took the photograph of her inside without a mask.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Yeah. Right. So the Washingtonian later in the day had this update. Update. the Washington Examiner Writer writer who published photos of Mayor Bowser maskless at a wedding over the weekend
Starting point is 00:32:57 was not invited to the wedding. Oh no. Are you kidding? So I guess that negates the photo. It does. If you crash a wedding, it negates all information. It's those journalistic standards,
Starting point is 00:33:11 man. They don't ever do stuff like that. Right. It's like the police not having a warrant. None of the evidence counts. Right. Because you've got to toss it completely out of your mind.
Starting point is 00:33:19 don't worry about the fact that Muriel Bowser was maskless inside doesn't matter because the person shouldn't have been there anyway to take the photo. It's in the wedding crasher clause of the Constitution. It is. It's right there in plain sight. It's right. Well, not plain sight. You have to do the lemon rub and then.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Right. And then you have the Ben Franklin gases. The blow dryer. That's really good. One other thing. The American Federation of Teachers, the Union President, Randy Weingarten, says the kids have got to mask up this fall. Good.
Starting point is 00:33:54 And they said, you know, look, I'm not going to promise that schools are going to reopen. But. Got to be kidding me. No, no, no, no. We're good. There's a quote. We're going to try. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:34:07 So I don't know. I don't know. There is no try. I don't know what exactly they have to rehearse or try to. I mean, you get into your car, you turn the key, you drive. to the school. You use your key to get into the school. You open up the door, you turn on the lights, you stand there at the chalkboard and you go, hi, kids, I'm going to teach something. It's not that hard. They've been doing it for years, but maybe they have forgotten in the last year and a half.
Starting point is 00:34:34 I can't believe. They are saying they're making a big deal out of the safety for our kids. They have to be masked up or the teachers are not coming in. Today, I saw an MSNBC, a long story about the police officers that are committing suicide. Do you know? know there were six police officers that committed suicide after January 6. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they committed suicide. And MSNBC is very upset about the cops. Well, they love the police, you know. They do.
Starting point is 00:35:00 They love the police. How supportive of law and divorce. And this just caused them so much stress. Now, as I'm watching it, I'm screaming at the TV exactly what's, oh, you love the police now. You're worried about their mental health now. Okay. and they're very worried about suicide with these police officers. How about the epidemic of suicide for our kids?
Starting point is 00:35:27 Our kids are going through absolute hell. Suicide rate is up 30% because of the schools and the masks and the social distancing. And they don't give a flying crap. You never hear about their mental health. You never really hear, unless you're reading something from conservatives, about how the test scores, what this is doing to them, not only socially but academically, you never hear a peep about that. Why is it we still don't know anything? We have nothing. No one is talking about if you've had it, you have God's vaccine.
Starting point is 00:36:10 This has been something we have always done. This is why you give a vaccine because it tricks your. body into thinking you've had it. And so you make natural antibodies for it. But how come those of us who have natural antibodies, we are like, we're, we're spreading the plague. Why? Why?
Starting point is 00:36:32 For the first time, is that not how the body works? Is that not how this vaccine works? Yeah. Yeah. It's, you know, long term. There's a longer conversation on that. But you're right. We have not focused on that enough.
Starting point is 00:36:45 At all. Enough. At all. I even heard anybody say. Yeah. They don't count it as if it's anything. Correct. When you talk about people who are vaccinated, they don't add in the people who have had.
Starting point is 00:36:58 That's what herd mentality. Herd immunity is about. Herd immunity. You'll notice we're not talking about herd immunity anymore because that requires you to have enough people either vaccinated or sick to get to a certain point to where the society has enough antibodies. to pretty much handle it. In a completely unrelated story,
Starting point is 00:37:19 I know this has nothing to do with what you're talking about right now. But they just announced it, Pfizer's going to make $33.5 billion from this. It'll be the biggest selling drug of all time by far. And I know that doesn't have anything to do
Starting point is 00:37:33 with what we're talking about. There's no reason that you would be pushing this drug for monetary purposes. That would be so cynical to believe. I mean, I would note. I would note, yes. Johnson and Johnson is. selling theirs at cost.
Starting point is 00:37:46 So if you are concerned of profit motivation, you could always get it from that instead. And Johnson is selling it at cost because the White House came out and said, I don't know, might kill you. Whoops. No, it doesn't. They announced. They did it in 2020. They made this decision before the vaccine was even available. It could give you leprosy.
Starting point is 00:38:04 I'm just saying leprosy, you'll be in a wheelchair and your body will be falling out of the wheel. Or a blood clot could shoot straight to your brain and kill you instantly. Don't worry about it, though. Oops. Sorry. all wrong about that one. Sorry. All right. I hate you.
Starting point is 00:38:22 You're rolling your eyes like we're spreading misinformation or something. It does sound a tad back. It's leprosy. Get leprosy. If everyone was jumping off a cliff, would you do it? Don't wait. No, don't answer that. I'm afraid of what that answer is today.
Starting point is 00:38:38 Leftists are leading the charge to run our entire country off the cliff. And unfortunately, too many Americans are running. headlong to join them. One of the primary ways we do this is by supporting big businesses that contribute giant amounts of cash to leftist causes. Big Mobile is a part of this. So when you're signing with them, you're signing a pack with the devil. Your money is helping them destroy our country. It's time to stop doing business with Big Mobile.

Incredibly well. Boy, that was worth it. That was worth it. We'll give you the update on the Taliban and how all of the people who helped us, oh, their life is going to get so good here.
Starting point is 00:43:47 We'll talk about that in 60 seconds. Stand by news. Summer break from school may almost be over. Oh, my kids will be in school all day. Got to miss them.

But now that I have rec tech, it's not really a problem because with its smart grill technology, the rec tech basically does all of the work for me. I throw whatever I want to cook on it and it'll monitor its own internal temperature throughout the cooking process in normal states. This means if it cools down around the rec tech, it'll automatically adjust upward to compensate. Here in Texas, I don't know. Maybe it makes crushed ice to put, you know, on the heat a little bit.

Starting point is 00:45:42 uh, tomorrow evening, only on Blaze TV. Also, the left has a pedophilia problem, and it's out in the open. and we'll talk about that on tomorrow's radio program as well. Today I want to talk to you a little bit about the good news coming out of Afghanistan, and I know the press is all over this because they're so eager to report all of the bad things in an ongoing war. And so that's why the coverage is practically nonstop about how badly things are going in Afghanistan. First of all, there are thousands of people that are fleeing Afghanistan and going over to Pakistan. All the people that were living in Pakistan until we took over and, you know, there was a chance that the Taliban would be out. They moved back into Afghanistan.
Starting point is 00:46:38 They're now moving back out of Afghanistan. But the real people I want to talk about are the people that helped us, the translators, the people who believed that we would be there for them. yeah, we haven't really made a plan for them, you know? There's about, I don't know, about 10,000 of these people, and they helped us for years and years and years. But, I mean, should we have a plan to help them, Stu? Why plan when you can just do it on the fly as the Taliban is just taking district after district? It's like one of those shows where they like re, they redo the home,
Starting point is 00:47:15 like a home renovation show. And every, every episode's like, Oh my gosh, they're around the corner. Should we put up these last curtains? You know what I mean? And it's like this really, it's always a close call. You're like, why did you just tell them like to stay out of there for another extra hour? There's no real reason for the drama here.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Right. That's kind of what's happening in Afghanistan right now. Except it's not made for TV. No. This is just. It's real. Yeah. The people who are saying that are the people who helped us.
Starting point is 00:47:39 They're like, oh my gosh. The talibats right around the corner. Help! Yeah. They're saying now 330,000. Afghans have been displaced already, many of them leaving the country once again, realizing that this is just going to happen again, you know. And that's terrible enough. In addition, though, the people who actually helped us during the battle, translators and all sorts of different types of people who've helped the U.S. military, you're going to be stunned to hear this.
Starting point is 00:48:11 If the Taliban gets controlled, they're all going to be murdered. They're just going to be murdered because they shouldn't have been. helping in the Taliban's view, the American effort. So we have some, so there's a group of, they think about 20,000 people who are in this category. And we have a couple thousand that we've actually been able to help the, and get out of the country. Some of them have come to the United States.
Starting point is 00:48:36 People, the most reliably vetted of those have come. So some of this has happened. They think some of the 20,000 maybe are, not really shouldn't qualify for this program, a special immigrant visa type of situation where they can be moved not only either to the United States or to a third country where we have maybe a base or something.
Starting point is 00:48:58 But again, get them out of the way of the Taliban and the knives they're swinging. And so they are now moving some of them to third countries and in various places where they can try to do this. But there does not seem to be a plan for, as you point out, about 10,000 of these guys that are likely,
Starting point is 00:49:17 to get killed the second. We used them. You know, that does seem to be the philosophy. I think it is. Of the United States in way too many cases. Let me tell you a story about a guy named Raul Wallenberg. I've talked about him before and he is one of my favorite 20th century heroes.
Starting point is 00:49:34 And most people don't know who Raul Wollenberg is. A lady who wrote a book on Raul Wollenberg over in Sweden. And it is the, it's like what's his name? James Bonhofer book. It is the the book on on Raul-Wollenberg. And she came over and she had been doing interviews here in the United States. She did a, you know, Good Morning America and everything else. She came to do an interview with me and she almost welled up halfway through the interview. And she said, I cannot believe it. You're the only American, at least as a broadcaster that I have talked to that even knows who he is.
Starting point is 00:50:16 And I'm like, he's a hero of mine. He's an absolute hero. So he would go on, she'd go on and do the interviews on. And they had no idea who this guy was. They have no idea. This is an American hero in many ways that we abandoned just like we did in the talent, with the Taliban right now. We're not changing our spots.
Starting point is 00:50:35 If, you know, and if Americans knew about this, we would say, let's get those who helped us to safety. But we're getting the blame for it because of our weasels in the government. So let me tell you about Raul Wollenberg. It's 1940s and he's in Sweden. He is the heir to a large fortune. And they are very high up on the ladder. Remember, the Nazis are involved in Sweden and so everybody's kind of nervous.
Starting point is 00:51:08 The United States comes to Rao Wallenberg off the, you know, through the OSF. and says, hey, we need you to go over to, I think it was, I think it was Prague, and just watch what the Nazis are doing. We understand that they are rounding up Jews and we need to know if that's true. He says, I don't know. And they said, just ask the king if you can be appointed to the embassy and then just spy for us. He said, okay. Well, he got over there and he saw.
Starting point is 00:51:43 saw that not only was it true, that it was in enormous numbers, that every Jew was being rounded up. He couldn't abide by it. He would write letters to us. He'd write letters to the king. And the king was like, I can't do anything. The Nazis are right here. And so Raul Wallenberg decided he was going to do something. And he started issuing what's called a Schutz pass. my wife gave one to me for Christmas years ago and she said she took it back she gave me the present and then she took it back right away and she said I'll give it to you tomorrow and I said why and she said because you're going to spend all day crying and I said I'm not it's Christmas everything's fine and she said oh I know you you're going to cry and I'm like I'm not going to cry I opened it I cried
Starting point is 00:52:29 all day it it is such a remarkable piece of paper a monument to what one man can do he would issue these Schutz passes, which means that whoever gets this paper, and their name is filled out on it, you get that paper, you are now under the protection of the King of Sweden. And so Raul Wollenberg was claiming people as his. So if you were stopped for papers, you didn't have to wear a yellow star anymore because you are now under the protection of the King of Sweden. well the king of Sweden was getting all kinds of heat for this and I mean he issued thousands of them he would type them all up and then he would go to the trains that were going to the death camps
Starting point is 00:53:16 and he would stuff them in between the slats of the train and then he would stand on top of the train next to the coal car and he'd say stop you have the wrong people these are my people and the train would unload and they would check the papers and anyone who had a schutz pass was free. He saved thousands of people. Towards the end of the war, the Russians were coming in. And some of his people at the embassy said, Raoul, you got to go.
Starting point is 00:53:59 You got to go right now. Now we know now in history, Stalin hated this guy, knew what he was doing and hated him. and Raoul said, no, there's too many more I can save. He was last seen running to the Russian troops, the first brigade that came in. And that's the last we ever saw of him. I have a cigarette case from one of the guys in that garrison that came in that he was running to. and it's really quite worthless unless you know that those are the soldiers that he ran to
Starting point is 00:54:44 saying they can't be as bad as the Germans because in Russian on the front of the case it says let's kill all the Jews and go home he was taken there's a few endings to the story he was taken and shot and executed there immediately unlikely, because Stalin is said to have wanted to talk to him. So the next version of the ending of his life was that he went, he was interrogated and, you know, by Stalin and his people, and he died in a concentration camp in like 1948. I think the worst outcome is that he went to a hard labor camp in the Soviet Union and died in 1970. too. Here's the reason why I tell you this story. Here's a guy we asked to help. Here's a guy that every single one of us should know his name. His name is Raul Wallenberg. He is a, he's a
Starting point is 00:55:47 hero in Sweden. There are statues to him in Sweden. There should be statues of him here, because we asked him to do it. And then at the end of the war, when we were, when we were, we, we asked him, we had clout with Stalin, we didn't even ask where he was. We didn't ask to exchange. We did nothing to save his life. No matter how many times the Swedes and everybody else ask the United States, will you please ask them? We never asked about him until 1976. We're doing the same thing. and it is not the people of the United States. It's an out-of-control large government that doesn't always put the same priorities on things that we might.
Starting point is 00:56:55 We're doing it again now in Afghanistan. 10,000 people that helped us. They are now living in fear and in hiding because the Taliban will take over. and we knew this. You and I, we all knew that the Taliban would come back. That's why we should have gone in, killed Osama bin Laden, and left. Instead, we spent 20 years and how much treasure and how much American blood in that place.
Starting point is 00:57:32 And what we all knew would happen has happened. The bad guys just waited us out. we cannot build countries. We cannot pass on freedom. Hell, we don't even want it ourselves, it seems. People have to want it. And they have to be willing to stand up for it themselves. This group of people did.

Starting point is 00:59:47 There's a new book coming out about the last days of Osama bin Laden as he was in. He's mulling around in his compound. His security is thinking they're going to leave. if they're frustrated, they've been doing this for too long. The Arab Spring is going on at this time. And Osama bin Laden spends his last days intensely frustrated that he's not getting credit for the Arab Spring and that they're not embracing his ideas.
Starting point is 01:00:15 No, it was Obama that was embracing his idea. Wait, hold it. But like I thought, you know, as much as we are frustrated as to how all of this turned out, it's important to remember. remember that Osama bin Laden did not think this this was successful. He was, he was, he ended his life really frustrated that nothing came of, of his movement. If we could only make sure that he was trapped in some living hell thinking that, oh, we have. We killed him. Hmm. Feel bad for him. Let's pause for just a quiet reflection for, okay, we're none. So that, good, I get, you know,
Starting point is 01:00:57 you look at it and you say, a lot of times. times you look at it as from our perspective and say like how the war should have gone better for this way x y and z remember this was an active country with active terrorists that were that were murdering our people our soldiers are innocent civilians all around the world and they instead had to spend the next decade or to defending their own home ground against us and the way this is turning out is not happy. I'm not saying that it is. I'm very frustrated about it. But it is important to remember what Al-Qaeda was with the Taliban and what they believed about what happened. Because yeah, they very well, many of these people are going to, and their descendants are going to be
Starting point is 01:01:46 able to get control of this country again, it looks like. But the people we were fighting at that time were pissed. I mean, Osama bin Laden was legitimately in his own writings, pissed. Pissed off because people were ignoring him. Can't wait to read this book. Did you see the part where they said that we knew he was there because his family did laundry and hung it out on the... Oh, I didn't see that now. So apparently they, you know, they hang dry all of their clothes. And we weren't sure if he was there until they hung dry all of the family's clothes. And they saw up, yep, they're all there.
Starting point is 01:02:23 Really? Yeah. It also, by the way, seems to paint a picture of how. close we were to losing him because his security was ready to leave. And if they left, he was going to have to relocate. And remember, I mean, the story has been, and I like to see what this book says about it, but that Barack Obama got the information and waited about 100 days before actually executing. It was the hardest decision any any any presidents ever made. And 500 years, go ahead. Yeah, 500 years. I mean, you know, if we would have had, if we had
Starting point is 01:02:52 the whereabouts of Adolf Hitler, I'm sure Truman would have struggled with that. Oh, do we do anything? Do we just let him hang out? I don't know. Which way do we go on this tough decision? And so they waited a long time before executing this. And he was, I mean, Osama bin Laden was was very close to leaving this location because, you know, they had been there a long time. Everybody around him was frustrated. Everyone knew the risks they were taking. And their, particularly their close security was was thinking, you know what, this is not how I want to live my life. Now, luckily, they didn't have to worry about that because they were killed soon, soon after. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:03:30 It's sad, though, is one last person to go to Barack Obama's birthday party. You know, I don't know if he... I don't know. You know, because he had a hard time. Should I invite him? Should I not invite him? And then his wife was like, you killed him. And he's like, oh, crap.
Starting point is 01:03:46 So can have him. I'm not sure that that's... Yeah, his 60th birthday party. Right there. Right, right there. Just right across the water from Fire Island. Considering some of this. dangerous outdoor masking stuff that they're doing at this birthday party.
Starting point is 01:04:00 Yeah. Who knows? Maybe it would have been very dangerous for Osama bin Laden to be there. A super spreader event, you know. Oh, no, wait. It's Obama's birthday party, so we don't have to worry about that. Right. Because it's, COVID knows the politics of the gathering.
Starting point is 01:04:15 That's right. That's right. I forget that. Thank you. So, Joseph, who lives in Jersey, he writes in, he says, I was in pain for years, you know. I got it by a car. crossing a street in New York. I don't know why he sounds like

Starting point is 01:06:10 All fixed? All fixed. Are you going to be? Finally. I mean, geez. We've been, we've been paying for this infrastructure every president. and it has been like, I go to fix the infrastructure, and we give them the money, and then we don't ever hear about the infrastructure,
Starting point is 01:06:23 except but we have to do more. So thank goodness this is, that infrastructure bill is a godsend. Or not, the Senior Research Analyst, Foundation for Government Accountability, Hayden DuBlois is with us now. I asked Hayden to come on
Starting point is 01:06:39 because this is 2,700 pages long, and it takes a team to go through it. So what is, what's in it Hayden sure thanks for having me on Glenn well what's in it is important to recognize that only about 20% of the new funding in this bill goes towards what you and i and millions of americans think about as traditionally infrastructure that is our roads and our bridges is that going to be enough to fix them gosh i you know i don't know but i what i can say is that this is that this is really tied to a larger package of what the democrats are trying to push
Starting point is 01:07:16 through. That is nearly $5 trillion in new government spending on extensions of welfare, step towards the Green New Deal, and other pet projects. I mean, that's really what's at issue here. And we can't excuse
Starting point is 01:07:32 some small portion of legitimate infrastructure spending when it's way overbalanced by the priorities of the far left in Congress. Well, $20 billion goes to Amtrak. I don't know why we keep bailing Amtrak out, but we do,
Starting point is 01:07:49 Amtrak and climate change and related green efforts. What they're trying to do is to try to get us to go to electricity. But I don't understand this. Electricity, it doesn't come from the magic box in the wall. It's most likely made by coal. Sure, sure. No, you're absolutely right. We've seen, I mean, they've just got tons and tons of investments in here that
Starting point is 01:08:15 they're trying to create a new clean energy office in the Department of Energy, EV charging. They've got a $250 million grant for low-emission ferries, which everyone knows is such a big problem. Those, you know, ferries, we really need to do something about it. Oh, I know. But, I mean, you dive a little bit deeper into this. I mean, it's 2,700 pages.
Starting point is 01:08:37 I tried to read what I could. But case and point example, page 167, it says, and I quote, that they're going to enable and encourage children, including those with disabilities, to walk and bicycle to school, end quote. I mean, that's what they're doing. They're worried about kids' carbon emissions when they're going to school. I mean, what's next? Are they going to put carbon footprint, you know, ankle monitors to make sure these kids are, you know, under the quota of their carbon footprint? I mean, it's just out of control. Does it say how they're going to do that? Well, they're trying to create a new program. They're saying it's all about incentivizing
Starting point is 01:09:14 you know, healthy lifestyles and making sure that, you know, kids are getting the physical exercise. But it's really under the guise of part of the climate agenda here that we're talking about. But how are they going to do that? I mean, even with disabilities, get them to walk to school. Are they going to say, we're not picking anybody up inside of this radius or what? Well, you know, I think a lot of it is going to be with pressuring a lot of these areas with grants to, you know, encourage what I think are bad incentives for, for kids to do. I mean,
Starting point is 01:09:50 we see this throughout the bill. I mean, on the topic of energy, they've got, they've got another study in there about the effects of closing the Keystone XL pipeline, for example, without restarting any of construction. We don't need another study. We know the effects of canceling the construction of this. We don't need a government report, another one telling us that it's a bad idea. And this is what this bill is filled with it, filled with just, you know, wasteful spending on things we already know or things we don't need instead of prioritizing the roads and bridges and, you know, potholes that Americans really think of when they think about infrastructure. I was talking to Mike Lee yesterday about this, and he said one of the problems that he has
Starting point is 01:10:32 with it is it takes over a lot of the things that belong to the states and to the local municipalities. He's absolutely right. Yeah, I listen. that interview and he made a great point that, you know, while people are going to say, well, it's good because they've got interstate highway funding and that should be done by the feds. There's a lot in here that is like rural surface transportation grants. That shouldn't be coming out of a centrally planned federal office, you know, that's written up by some senators. States can administer that much more efficiently than the federal government can.
Starting point is 01:11:06 The entire, you know, precipice and foundation of this bill is that infrastructure spending is best when it's centrally planned, which we know isn't true. And then when you realize and recognize how that's all tied in to the other trillions or, yeah, trillions of dollars of other priorities that are completely unrelated to infrastructure like expanding welfare and expanding the child care tax credit and all of that, I mean, we're really stretching the definition of infrastructure to a point it's never been at. There are also, there are provisions in there for Bitcoin and and cryptocurrency to where if you sell your cryptocurrency, you'll be called a broker and then all brokers have to report all activities to the IRS, right?
Starting point is 01:11:59 Yeah, which is Senator Toomey issued a statement on this actually, and he said it's virtually impossible to implement because you don't have the required information, you know, the 1099s to do that. And a lot of the blockchain companies are saying it's a ridiculous provision because they're doing that to try to raise revenue through this. But they're saying that the revenue estimates are way off. Toomey called this a hastily designed tax on blockchain. He's absolutely right. This is just, you know, stifling yet another, you know, innovation in the cryptocurrency sphere that we don't need and really isn't going to work and isn't going to pay for what this bill tries to pay for. So they say that it's trying to to, you know, help raise the funds to pay for this, et cetera.
Starting point is 01:12:42 But I disagree with you. I don't think it is to do that. I think it's to cripple cryptocurrency because they know what they're doing to the U.S. dollar and they need a D-U-S.D, a digital U.S. dollar. You know, that very well could be the case because, well, let me put it to you this way. The underlying theme in this conversation that we can't forget about is inflation, inflation, inflation, right? We did a poll at the Center for Polling Excellence affiliated with FGA. 87% of voters, including majority of Democrats, are either very or somewhat concerned about
Starting point is 01:13:17 inflation. And, Glenn, I keep thinking of three numbers. 30, 30 trillion dollar national debt, 30% annualized rate of inflation for producers' goods, and 30 years high of core inflation. this bill and the associated $5 trillion in spending is only going to fuel for future inflation. We're going to rind up with the inflationary consequences of this infrastructure bill where people won't be able to even afford the gas to drive their cars on the roads that this bill is allegedly going to fix. How fast do you think that? I mean, you know, what's really irritating to me is they're saying they're paying for this with a lot of the COVID emergency money. I remember when they just started saying, oh, we need this.
Starting point is 01:14:03 We need all this money. And then they never spent it. They knew this was coming in. And so they're moving all of that emergency COVID spending over to pay all of this. When does this money actually, if approved, start to get pushed out into the system? Well, here's part of the problem with this. And this is really an underlying problem with this bill as it relates to the funding. We don't even know how much that is going to cover the cost.
Starting point is 01:14:29 I mean, they have yet to issue a congressional budget office score for this bill. And they're trying to get it read, well, I don't know what he's going to read it, but try to get it passed and understood and comprehended before Congress goes on summer recess. They don't even know what it costs. I mean, that's preposterous for anyone to expect that the Senate is going to be able to have legitimate debate on this. And if you look at some of the funding mechanisms you're talking about, I mean, you've got the, you've got the unused COVID provisions.
Starting point is 01:14:56 One of the most egregious ones in my mind is they're trying to, book, $49 billion in savings by delaying a rule from the Trump administration that would have changed how drugs are paid for by Medicare. Instead of going to insurers, they would have passed prescription savings on the seniors and some of the truly needy. But because they're delaying that rule, that rule will essentially be propping up billions of dollars on the spending priorities of the Democrats, you know, which range from low emission ferries, the clean energy supply chains on the backs of our Medicare recipients. I can't peek to it. Senate, but I don't think that's a good way to fund an infrastructure proposal, especially
Starting point is 01:15:33 when you've got these seniors living on fixed incomes when inflation's so high. So I want to be charitable to people like Mitt Romney, but I have a hard time doing that. They say that this is, this is just going to make it cheaper on the other end, because if we give them this, then it won't be so bad in the end. But Nancy Pelosi is saying she's not going to pass anything in this bill unless she gets the boat in the second bill. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's what I think folks have to take away from this. This is not a, you know, I hear the number 550 billion dollar infrastructure package. That's not what this is about. This is about a $5 trillion welfare-filled expansion, one of the largest in U.S.
Starting point is 01:16:17 history, if it gets passed, that Nancy Pelosi and AOC and Joe Biden are attaching at the hip to the infrastructure package. That's what's at issue here. And that's the fundamental problem. is that this is tied to unbelievable increases in spending in all the wrong areas that have nothing to do with infrastructure. The infrastructure package is just the tip of the much bigger iceberg that forms the basis of what we're talking about here. We're talking to Hayden DeBloyce. He is the senior research analyst for Foundation for Government Accountability. Hayden, you know, the one thing that we saw in the Obama bill was that it would create these new things. it would say at the discretion of the, you know, the, the head of, you know, of the, of the department. And it was, it just left it open for all this new infrastructure to be built without Congress being involved at all.
Starting point is 01:17:18 Do you see that in this as well? Oh, sure. I mean, this is, this is a case study of, you know, centralizing power in the hands of bureaucratic. and central planning. I mean, that's, this is exactly and precisely what that is. And we know those are not the right people to make decisions for, you know, a paving of state roads. I mean, the power is not there's no accountability, none. No, there's no knowledge. There's no accountability. Every time this is, you know, happened, it fails. I mean, it reminds me of the, you know, the Milton Friedman quote, you know, if you put the government in charge of the Sahara Desert in five years, there'd be a shortage of sand. I mean, that's what we're really going for here. That's what's going to happen.
Starting point is 01:18:00 All right. Thank you so much. The odds of this passing, I would imagine, are pretty good, right? Yeah, that's the unfortunate reality here is that there seems to be enough support where this is going to go through, and then they're going to attach it to the larger reconciliation process with all those Democrat wishlist items. But it's unsustainable. And to leave you, you know, with a thought, 12 years ago, we had the Obama stimulus, about 800 billion. We're essentially going to a place where that's considered a drop in the bucket with Congress. I mean, this infrastructure package is being treated like a rounding error for them. We need to demand that, you know, Congress really changed the way they look at these federal expenditures and deficits.
Starting point is 01:18:45 Why are everyday Americans, you know, forced to live within their means when Congress is intent living beyond it? Well, the debt ceiling is coming up. It's expiring. And they have to renew it and raise it. Otherwise, we default. And already the Treasury Department is saying, you have to pass this right now. You cannot default on this.
Starting point is 01:19:08 And it is irresponsible for the United... If we default, our interest rates, everything goes through the roof. And we're really screwed. I mean, so what do people do? Well, to Mike, Mike Lee made a great point on your show yesterday. He asked the question, why are we doing this now? Why are we doing this at a time when inflation is hitting new records at a time when federal deficits and federal debt are at unbelievable and really unparalleled records?
Starting point is 01:19:39 I mean, this does not make any sense. The bottom line is Americans should tell their congressman, listen, I can hold off on the potholes for now if you, you know, if it means avoiding bankrupting my kids. and their kids and their kids after them. That's what, you know, people should be telling their members of Congress is that, you know, I'll wait on the, you know, the small portion of this that actually goes towards infrastructure if it means avoiding the consequences of higher inflation, higher taxes, higher spending, higher debt. Hayden, thank you so much. Appreciate it. Thank you, Glenn. By the way, it was this kind of spending that led Greece into the revolution. And, you know, when you see what's on the other side of this, you'll wish.

Starting point is 01:22:41 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glimbeck program. Today, I want to spend a few minutes with you and talk about something that is very, very disturbing, but it is the slippery slope. Now, they've denied on the left that slippery slopes even exist. I mean, how could it? You normalize one thing and then we're not going to normalize the next thing or the thing after that. We just want this.
Starting point is 01:23:05 I'm going to show you that we are at the bottom of that slope. And it is about to bite us in half. I'll explain in 60 seconds. You know, it's a lot easier and less painful to prevent your identity from being stolen in the first place. The thing I like about this new infrastructure bill is it's got about $5 billion in it to, well, to protect our power grid from all sorts of things, including making sure that we're all buttoned up for cyber hacks. Oh, really? You're going to put that much money. Whoa, really?
Starting point is 01:23:50 Five trillion dollars you want to spend. And you're going to put how many billions into that? Wow, that's great. Anyway, don't be like the federal government.

And if the New Yorker, with a cartoons none of us understand, even them, they're like, yes, that's hilarious. is. What does it mean? You can't explain it to you. It's just funny.
Starting point is 01:25:06 If that magazine is worried about this, we all should. I want to read it to you. The progression of the story I'm about to tell you will be shockingly familiar. It's an uncomfortable story. It's another reminder of one of the left's most depraved tactics, the way they force us to talk about what they see as uncomfortable truths. commentary here. They're uncomfortable truths. They're just forcing their own disturbing thoughts into our daily lives.
Starting point is 01:25:37 Like most narcissists, they want us to suffer like they suffer. They think their self-hatred should be our self-hatred. These are miserable, miserable people. And we are letting them redesign our society to take a happy, optimistic, loving, kind people and turn us into monsters. What are we doing? So last week, the New Yorker ran this article about Helmut Kintler, a German psychologist who turned post-World War II Germany into his experiment in pedophilia.
Starting point is 01:26:13 His goal to spread Marxist values and fight fascism. Dear God in heaven, can we please for the love of peace? understand that fascism is based in Marxism. What the Nazis were the National Socialist Party. It's the same disease. The article says beginning in the late 60s, Kentler had placed neglected children. Listen to this.
Starting point is 01:26:53 Neglected children into foster homes run by pedophiles. The experiment was authorized and financially supported by the Berlin Senate. In a report submitted to the Senate in 1988, Kendler had described it as a complete success. Now, here was his idea that dominant fathers caused fascism. Many villains. Many villains do this. They project their own bad experiences onto everything.
Starting point is 01:27:24 And Kendler's father was incredibly abusive. In fact, his daddy was a Nazi colonel. They're not usually. warm and friendly and lovable. This happens all the time. Your experience may not be my experience. Woodrow Wilson hated it. By the way, I hate that guy.
Starting point is 01:27:51 Woodrow Wilson hated his father. His father was in the clergy. Thus, he hated religion. And he hated fathers. And he thought, the goal of every university, this is a quote, should be to make all, all children the most unlike their father is possible. Well, that's exactly what Kentler was doing. As a psychology student, Kentler became, and I'm quoting again, became involved in the student movement.
Starting point is 01:28:20 And at a meeting of the Republican Club, not the Republicans like we know, this is a group of established left-wing intellectuals. He publicly defined him, identified himself as gay for the first time. So he went on to set up an entire legal and academic framework that encouraged pedophilia, the sexualization of children, and forced homosexuality to destroy so-called fascist psyche. His goal was to develop a child-rearing philosophy for a new kind of German man. Good God, the Germans just, we know. need to hit them with a tranquilizer, don't we? Any intellectual over in Germany should just be put to sleep. And I don't mean killed. I just mean put to sleep. Let him sleep it off. Stop it. Sexual liberation,
Starting point is 01:29:12 he wrote, was the best way to prevent another Auschwitz. His goal was political. His approach was based on the work of Marxist psychoanalysts. He wanted to use the social activism in academia to change society. Does any of this sound familiar? Even if it may, even if it may, literally taking young boys away from their parents and handing them over to pedophiles. The point was to destroy fascism and the patriarchy of right-wing politics. Destroy this is his goal. Destroy the nuclear family. Abolish marriage and reward sexual depravity.
Starting point is 01:29:55 For years, Kenner used his status as a celebrated academic to create a pedophile ring where highly celebrated powerful academics adopted orphans like there were prostitutes, and it was all part of his experiment. His experiment was deemed a complete success. Now, the woman who exposed him was an academic, a political scientist. And I say, was because by exposing the pedophile ring, she exposed the academic system that encouraged it, and she's no longer with us.
Starting point is 01:30:31 from the New Yorker article, if there was ever files in the city's archives documenting how Kentler Project came to be approved or how exactly he located the men who served as foster fathers, they have all been lost or destroyed. I've been telling you recently, and this is true, history repeats itself, we've all heard that, but I want you to modify this slightly. You need to think of this differently. History repeats itself needs to be modified. history is repeating itself.
Starting point is 01:31:08 We are now thinking of children as incurable. We're teaching them to think of themselves as incurable. Children need to be told that they are the cure. Every time we say think of the children, think of the children, we say that because children are the only ones who truly stand a chance because all of us are corrupted. We all have problems. and yes, we also create the cures that save us, but it's different. Children have the capacity to believe.
Starting point is 01:31:46 By the time you get to be my age, you've seen it all, and you're so beaten down and you're like, and not going to change. That's a lie. We're just tired. We need to be filling the heads of our... You know, I thought of this the other day. My father was a failure, and I don't say that with glee. I don't say that to besmirch him, but he was a small businessman who never could really make his

He finally had one small business towards the end of his life that it worked and it made him a nice living. But he lived paycheck to paycheck. and for him that was a success and it was. But he struggled his whole life and failed over and over and over again.
Starting point is 01:32:48 He not only didn't blame people, he is the reason why I'm a success today. One of the guys that works with me was up at my art show this weekend and he said, Glenn, I have to tell you, I heard so many people that were entrepreneurs there at the art show. And he said, watching you. I've watched you struggle trying to paint this stuff forever. He said, and then I saw you really apply yourself and say, I'm going to do it. And he said, you did. He said, I just believe that I can do it now.
Starting point is 01:33:22 You can. You can. Children have that capacity to believe. But you notice that woke terminology doesn't include the words like morality or evil or ethics. They use the term normative. normative. They see the world as beyond good and evil. They see a world of norms. And one of the big differences between morality and norms is that with morality, you have a set of rules, a clear list. With norms, all you have are problems that need to be eradicated. It's a growing list of things
Starting point is 01:34:04 that are bad because this is normal. Now, I want to take a one minute break and I want to come back to you and I want to tell you of the pedophilia problem. We are at the bottom of the hill. Remember, the argument was you can't normalize any of this. You can't normalize homosexuality because, not because of any other reason other than if you normalize this, it will be a slippery slope to the bottom and it will happen quickly. No, no, no, how dare you say that? Let me show you where our society is right now.
Starting point is 01:34:52 Hopefully it will be a massive wake-up call because you're at the bottom of the hill in 60 seconds.

A subset of children growing up today will likely recall certain aspects of their childhood differently than our Independence Day parades.
Starting point is 01:37:05 You know, marching in a band, bin watching the Power Rangers or making gingerbread cookies for Christmas. That is all but lost now. The left has a startling, with a startling degree of success, endeavored to reshape our society. by embedding their beliefs within the experience of childhood, overshadowing the Fourth of July parades with pride parades, implanting LGBT propaganda in children's show, and supplanting gingerbread men with the gender bred person. With increasing frequency, the obvious has become undeniable.
Starting point is 01:37:51 Those who have a creepy obsession with involving children in their sexual tastes and use any avenue at their disposal to do so, either have a direct sexual interest in children or want to run for cover for those who do. The left has a pedophilia problem, and it is only getting worse. I was painstakingly aware of this fact when I attended the 2019 San Francisco Pride Parade to interview attendees for my YouTube channel, which I co-host with a friend. One honest marcher told me and my co-host that he is down for the kink with kids. mentioning later, age is just a construct. Another demonstrator informed me that child involvement in drag is so cool and there should be more kids doing drag.
Starting point is 01:38:36 Love, after all, quote, has no age. And that's 100% true, end quote. He then admitted that a child drag queen who performed in a gay nightclub was paid in the same manner you do with strippers. In case you have the impression that this is an isolated. incident look at the mashup of vice headlines which in several incidences attempt to generate sympathy for pedophiles or to change the definition of pedophilia and confer legitimacy on non-offending pedophiles including one who was known as Ian whose job involved children directly quote unquote and another called Gary a man who quote develop feelings for a three-year-old girl but calls himself
Starting point is 01:39:24 quote, virtuous as a pedophile because he supposedly doesn't act on his attraction. Gary was also a foster parent to three children and later accused of sexually assaulting one of the young girls. These articles offer some rather striking context for other articles from Vice, such as one in which they fawn over photos of the fabulous kids of Rupal's drag convention, which the publication describes as with a fire emoji. As mentioned earlier, one of these children danced on stage for money in a New York City gay bar for a crowd of adult men. Lest you believe that vices alone in their attempt to normalize pedophilia, turn your attention to the New York Times article.

The article reports glowingly on the pedophilic serial rape of a child who had been turned to prostitution after she was forced out of her family home before taking refuge with a group of older transgendered women who became her mentors and taught her how to support herself through sex. This type of perversion is not an
Starting point is 01:40:47 isolated incident and in the corporate media, the Washington Post recently running a piece called, yes, kink belongs at pride, and I want my kids to see it. The story, he writes, is just disgusting as the headline. Associate Professor at Yale University, Joe Fischel echoed this sentiment in his article, Keep Pride Nude, where he asks, what's the presumptive harm if a child sees an adult's butt cheeks or even adults genitals or breasts. Fischer then goes on to advocate for children to be exposed to a whole host of other perversions and speaks the language of groomers. He then says children, after all, might like seeing it.

Can you play the first complaint?
Starting point is 01:45:32 They're just coming out with it right now. Here's the first complaint from one of the people that he harassed. Thank you, Attorney General James. Good morning. My name is June Kim, and along with my colleague and Clark, we have led the teams at our two, we have led our teams at our two law firms in conducting the investigation. I don't want the explanation of this.
Starting point is 01:45:58 Can you go to the actual what one of the people actually said. When she confided in the governor that she'd been sexually assaulted in college, he asked her for the details of her assault. When talking about potential girlfriends, he said he thought he could date women as young as 22, knowing that Ms. Bennett was 25 at the time. He asked her whether she had ever been with older men. He told her that he was lonely and wanted to be touched. He asked her if she was monogamous and what she thought about monogamy. He said, speculated on how her history as a sexual assault survivor might affect her romantic life. He told her that she looked like Daisy Duke.
Starting point is 01:46:41 He suggested that she had a tattoo she was contemplating on her butt and asked her if she had any piercings anywhere other than her ears. Ms. Bennett texted to a friend on the day where many of these comments were made that she was upset and confused and that she was shaking. Another example is the governor's comments to the state trooper, the same trooper he touched on the stomach and back. After the governor had become single, he asked the trooper how old she was. When she responded that she was in her late 20s, he said, that's too old for him. He then asked her how much of an age difference he thought he could have between him and a girlfriend and have the public still accepted. it. She suggested it might be a good idea to stick with women at least as old as your daughters. She then tried to deflect the conversation by asking the governor what he was looking for in a
Starting point is 01:47:34 girlfriend. He responded that he was looking for somebody who could handle pain. Another time when the governor found out that the trooper was engaged, he asked her why she'd want to get married, because among other things, your sex drive goes down. As detailed in the report, employees recounted a pattern of similarly offensive comments and conversations, such as the governor repeatedly asking executive assistant number one whether she would cheat on her husband, saying to her, if you were single, the things I would do to you. Telling her that she looked great for her age, which was early 30s, and for her mother.
Starting point is 01:48:14 Calling her and co-worker Alyssa McGrath mingle mamas. Comparing Lindsay Boyland to a more attractive version of one of of his ex-girlfriends and to actresses. Women also described to us having the governor seek them out, stare intently at them, look them up and down, or gaze at their chest or butt. Okay, stop. This is a very big deal.
Starting point is 01:48:40 This is a democratic AG. The White House has said, you know, I can't say whether he should resign for this. We're wait for the report. Well, the report is out. And it is bad. They are saying that it was a culture where no one could say no to the governor. He was vindictive and he was cruel.
Starting point is 01:49:04 If this seems unusual, you haven't been paying attention to Cuomo. He is a dirty, dirty figure. And it, you know, there are nine people that are coming out now. as a part of this and it is they are saying that he engaged in unlawful uh retaliation and multiple women are involved in this there's no way he can survive unless you know the the wool culture just doesn't care about him because he's so good on everything else yeah this is the the report we've been waiting for for a long time and it's this was the get out of jail free card for Joe Biden to not call for his resignation. He along with almost every other prominent
Starting point is 01:50:00 Democrat said, well, we need to wait for the results of this investigation. So we now should expect Joe Biden to come out and have to comment on this. And there should be no hesitation. Yeah. On anyone's part. This is, this is the me culture, the Me Too culture. I mean, this is a gift here. This is the example. Everybody was like, well, he said some in 1973 that I didn't really like. That's not this. This is sexual harassment, intimidation, and retribution if you don't go along with it. This is what all of us mean by me too. Yeah, it seems like Cuomo had a habit with woman after woman, including state troopers, where he would
Starting point is 01:50:51 groped them when he was taking pictures with them or they were holding doors for him. He reached underneath one woman's shirt and grabbed her breasts. That is a quote. Reached under her blouse and grabbed her breast. You have multiple times about whether touching butt during hugs, there's a lot of that going on, running his hands across her stomach from her belly button to her right hip where she held a door open for him at an event. If he is not, if he does. does not resign today if people on the left do not stand out and come out and and strongly condemn him and say that he needs to resign today.
Starting point is 01:51:36 If I'm back on the air in 24 hours and he's still governor that says an awful lot about the left. And I'll tell you this, judging by what he has done over the past couple of weeks, because I, you know, I watched this case closely as a purveyor of Andrew Cuomo is awful.com. We have watched this closely. And his attitude toward this report has gone from, look, we'll look at the report. Let's see the facts. Don't worry about it to aggressively questioning the political motives of everybody involved in it.
Starting point is 01:52:07 And he's gone on the attack. And it's because he went through a long testimony with them, 11 hours, did not go well from all accounts. And he's realized how bad this is going to look for him. So I don't think he's resigning today. Now, someone like Joe Biden might change that. If Biden comes out with a strong statement against him, that says everything. Everything about everything.
Starting point is 01:52:30 Everything. All right, let me tell you about relief factor. More on this in just a second. You know the value of a dollar, but what's the value of $20? I'll tell you, $20 is about as valuable as a dollar was about 40 years ago. There's not a lot of things that could change your life for $20. But 20 bucks will get you a trial pack of relief factor for three weeks. If you're anything like me, once you try relief factor, you're going to get your life back.

So try the three week quick start trial pack for only 1995. You don't have anything to lose. You have everything to gain your life back. The things you want to do. get your life back. Relieffactor.com.
Starting point is 01:53:21 800, 500, 583,84, 800, 584, it's relieffactor. Dot com. So the Andrew Cuomo report is out and it is pretty significant. If you don't, if you haven't followed this whole saga, this is the next shoe that it had to drop
Starting point is 01:53:47 because all of these accusations started. Of course there was the whole situation with Andrew Cuomo, you know, killing, Lots of grandmas that the press didn't seem all that interested in for a very long time, despite our harping on it over and over and over and over again. Eventually, that wound up picking up steam. Some of the actual news organizations started paying attention to it a little bit.
Starting point is 01:54:12 And eventually that escalated into a report from a Democrat saying that he had understated deaths by about 50%. that didn't get him to resign. Then there was a wave that began with multiple women who worked with and around him, accusing him of sexual harassment of some sort. And that began to escalate. And to a fever pitch to the point where I believe both Schumer, I think it was both Democratic senators in New York said he should step down.
Starting point is 01:54:47 And many of the congressmen in New York said the same. it had not really escalated to national politicians status calling for him to resign, however. And the way that people like Joe Biden, you know, the crew that says believe every woman if they're accusing a Republican, those people were able to avoid commenting by giving Andrew Cuomo the benefit of the doubt they would never give anyone on the right, which was let's wait for the evidence to come out. Let's wait for the report to come out. Joe Biden routinely brushed aside. request from journalist to ask about his opinion on Cuomo and all these accusations. And he kept saying when the report comes out, when the report comes out. And it's notable,
Starting point is 01:55:36 this is not a report written by the Trump administration. It's not a report written by Bob Barr. It's not a report written by some Republicans or some right-wing journalist outfit. This is written by the Democratic Attorney General of the state. Let me give you some quotes from it. We've gone through some of it. And I will say, we're going through a lot of it, a lot of it on Studios America tonight. As you may know, we've been hitting this story like crazy. And, you know, again, Andrew Cuomo wasawful.com leads you to be obsessed with these types of things. And unfortunately, it's just, a lot of it's just gross. But we'll go through a lot of this on Studios America available on YouTube for free. Some of the quotes from the study,
Starting point is 01:56:18 from the report so far. Cuomo is accused of touching and grabbing executive assistance, but during hugs, this is routine throughout this report over and over and over again. He, quote, inquired multiple times about whether she had cheated or would cheat on her husband and asked her to help him find her, him a girlfriend. He, quote, reached under her blouse and grabbed her breast. These are, you know, various women. I'm not quoting from just one of the stories.
Starting point is 01:56:46 he quote ran his hand across her stomach from her belly button to her right hip while she held a door for him open at an event i believe that was a state trooper by the way he quote asked her to help him find a girlfriend this is another person described his criteria for a girlfriend as someone who couldn't quote handle pain he told miss bennett one of the accusers in talking about potential girlfriends for him andrew quomo that he would be willing to date who is as young is 22 years old, he knew Mrs. Bennett was 25 at the time. He had asked her whether she had been with older men. These are all in the context of business meetings or other work-related gatherings. Quote, while the picture was being taken, the governor put his hand on state entity employee number one's butt, tapped it twice, then grabbed her butt, end quote.
Starting point is 01:57:43 this one's particularly This interaction was very strange He said quote She wore a shirt that had the name of an energy company Written across the chest When the governor reached this accuser He ran two fingers across her chest Pressing down on each of the letters
Starting point is 01:58:02 Subtle Quote with his face close to her cheek He said I'm going to say I see a spider on your shoulder Before brushing his hand in the area between her shoulder and breasts. From the report, quote, our investigation identified corroboration for Ms. Boylan's allegations. She was actually the first accuser that got really any attention.
Starting point is 01:58:27 They identified corroboration for the allegations, including the ones the governor and the executive chamber had denied, end quote. The governor and the executive chamber actively engaged in an effort to discredit her, including by disseminating to the press, conflict. confidential internal documents that painted her in a negative light. Another accuser said, quote, he was, quote, staring down her loose shirt and then commenting on her necklace, which was inside her shirt. End quote. Another accuser, feeling uncomfortable, grabbed the governor's wrist and removed his hand from her back.
Starting point is 01:59:06 At that point, the governor remarked, wow, you're aggressive, after which the governor cupped her face in his hands and said, can I kiss you? Cuomo in his response, quote, admitted that he may have kissed certain staff members on the lips without remembering who. He also expressed that the view that this investigation itself and the investigators conducting the investigation were politically motivated, an assertion that we saw in documentary evidence as part of the planned response to the investigation almost as soon as it commenced. each complainant found his conduct to be some combination of humiliating, uncomfortable, offensive, or inappropriate. And you look at the work that has been done to try to make this guy into an international hero, a man who completely and continually failed to manage the pandemic from the very beginning
Starting point is 02:00:06 and oversaw what likely was the worst single response to coronavirus in the world, certainly some countries in South America have now challenged that assessment, but Cuomo was awful from day one on this. He was wrong every step of the way and was treated as a conquering hero by the press, who undoubtedly knew about all of the chatter of these types of allegations. This is separate from what he did with the people in the nursing home where thousands were put in massive danger and were killed by coronavirus. He hid the results.
Starting point is 02:00:54 And by the way, to this day is still undercounting the dead in New York by 11,000. And that's according to the CDC. He continues to go down this road and was for so long praised as a hero. to the point where he wrote a book and earned $5 million on the backs of these dead people across the state. While he was doing that, he was having employees of the state paid for by New York taxpayer dollars, helping him with the book. At the same time, he was allegedly groping one after another. Every time a Republican does something bad,
Starting point is 02:01:43 Every other Republican in the public eye has to answer for it. What do you think about that? Should they resign? Should they step down? We're going to see another wave of this over the next 24 to 48 hours. And people like Joe Biden, who were able to brush this off, are going to have to answer for it and answer whether this dirt bag should resign. Of course, the answer to that should be immediately.
Starting point is 02:02:06 This is the Glenn Back Program.
