So I know we were getting ready
for today's podcast,
but right at the end of today's podcast,
Stu and I started talking about
something that we each thought
it's only me thinking that.
And it has to do with Joe Biden's mental health.
Yeah, it's interesting how this happens.
I think we all get into this position where something in the news happens and we all think,
am I the only one?
Usually you're not the only one.
Yeah, I didn't think am I the only one.
I thought, I am the only one.
I wasn't questioning it.
I thought, oh, it's just me.
I must, I must miss something.
Yeah, I must have missed something.
I must not know the reference.
And no, he's just incoherent.
Yeah, that'll be on tomorrow's podcast.
On today's podcast, we did talk to you all over the country.
We talked to people that were.
in different phases of their life with different points of view on what is happening in our country.
You don't want to miss that.
Also, we talked a little bit about what Russia is planning and what is coming in our economy with the new emergency powers that are being recommended by the EU.
You know, so they can fix the energy problem.
Holy cow.
It's an amazing podcast.

If I said, you've got to smell my armpit.

I would not want to smell your armpit.
Okay.
Neither would I, but I thought I'd ask.
Right.

You're listening to
the best
of the Blendeback program.
All right.
Let me give you a couple of stories here.
Whistleblower has now accused the FBI's Washington Field Office of using cases related
to the January 6th U.S. Capitol Riot to overstate the threat of domestic violent extremism
in America.
What?
This is a shock to me.
Whistleblower alleged the FBI office did not follow standard investigative practices for January
six cases when it moved the cases to various local field offices around the country based on where
the case subjects were from. In a letter, January 6 cases should all be officially led by WFO,
the Washington field office, and categorized as WFO cases. But instead, a task force
dispatched instructions to open January 6 investigations at local field offices,
nationwide. Those local field offices received the cases making it look as though as if they were
conducting the investigation on the cases when in reality the Washington field office was doing
the bulk of the work. According to the letter, a manipulative case file practice creates
false and misleading crime statistics. Instead of hundreds investigations stemming from a single
Black Swan incident of the Capitol, FBI and DOJ officials point to significant increases in domestic violence
extremism and terrorism around the country. Such an artificial case categorization scheme allows FBI
leadership to misleadingly point to significant increases in domestic violent extremists nationwide.
So here's what they did. They took one.
event broke it up as if it was multiple things all around the country. Yeah, we've got field
offices all over the country working on domestic. It's one case. And that's the way it should
be categorized. But instead, they're they're breaking it up to mislead, to intentionally
mislead. When, when in American history, were we okay when we found out that,
our Justice Department was corrupt and intentionally smearing American citizens, when did we think
that was okay?
Answer, never.
When did any liberal, any Democrat in America think that was okay except when things were
out of control in the Wilson administration, out of control in the FDR administration, and out
of control in the Nixon administration. No Democrat ever, ever thought it was right when we were
spying on Americans, when we were abusing the FBI power. Where are you now? The answer is you've
been lulled into sleep and you've been made to believe that these things are true and they are
not true. How many whistleblowers do we need? I think this is our
16th or 17th whistleblower on the Justice Department and the FBI.
Now, all you have to do if you tell people something over and over again, they'll believe it.
So what is it, America, we are being told to believe?
We are being told to believe that everybody who voted for Donald Trump, that's 90 million people.
By the way, I so urge you with everything in me, please.
read this book.
We're going to have this author on.
He was supposed to be on with us today and then he couldn't make it.
It is the psychology of totalitarianism.
It is fascinating.
The guy takes everything that we learned from the 20th century,
fascism, communism, totalitarianism,
and he looks at it and says, how do you get there?
What are you doing to people?
And I don't think he's a conservative.
He's from Brussels.
He's a university professor of clinical psychology at the University of Ghent.
And he noticed what was happening in Europe with COVID,
how everybody was just kind of corralled and put into a shoot.
and he realized, wait, I've seen this somewhere before.
So he breaks it down.
And we are honestly in one of the last phases.
We are in the phase just before it gets truly ugly.
If we don't wake up.
And when I say us, I don't mean necessarily the people on the right.
The people on the right have got to stay calm, have got to reflect
goodness, happiness, decency, the Christian, Judeo-Christian values that this country is known for.
We must rediscover that and stand clearly in that light.
The Democrats need to start waking up to their own conditioning.
when people start to do the final phase of totalitarianism, they give speeches like President Biden gave just a few weeks ago in Philadelphia.
That's what leads people to say exterminate. These people have to be exterminated. These people are a virus. There's no dealing with these people.
I got news for you. If you think you think you can't deal with,
Democrats, you're mistaken. If you think you can't live side by side with leftists that want to
destroy the nation, I get it. I get it. And I'm with you. But most Democrats, we cannot fall
into this trap that they are in. Here's the latest from the New York Times yesterday.
Former President Donald J. Trump appeared to more fully embrace Q&on on Saturday, playing a song at a political rally that prompted attendees to respond with a salute in reference to the cult-like conspiracy theory song.
While speaking in Youngstown, in support of J.D. Vance, whom he has adorced his Republican nominee for the Senate, Mr. Trump delivered a dark address about the decline of America over music that was all.
all but identical to the song.
So it's not the song.
It's all but identical to the song.
Now, the president delivered this same speech.
He's been delivering this same speech for about three or four months now.
And he describes the America that we have become.
And then turns it around and says,
we don't have to be that.
It's almost mourning in America.
Now, can we play the real song here?
Now, tell me that you haven't heard a million different scores that sound just like this.
There's one that we use, and I cannot remember, and Sarah is gone today, but I know we have one that sounds almost exactly.
It's all but identical, but I can't find it.
But here's the original song that he played, no, the first one that I gave you.
Um, this is the original song that they say he played one that sounded like it.
Tell me if you've ever heard anything that sounds like this in a movie.
I mean, Stu, do you hear what I hear?
We have one.
We've used one that sounds just like I can't put my finger on it.
Hmm.
But there is hope.
Yeah, yeah.
Right.
I can almost hear you doing the voiceover on it.
Yeah.
Right.
Okay.
So that's the one that they said, he played.
It was, it was.
Yes.
That's just like a genre.
That's like a cinematic genre.
Play another one for me.
Play another one for me.
Let's see what we have here.
What do we have in our library?
Here's one.
See if it sounds.
Could be the same one.
But there is hope.
Call now.
Help those children born without faces.
Right?
Okay, this is a genre of music.
It's a genre of music.
Here, here, I've got one.
Can you open, can you open mine up?
How about this one?
Because this one sounds kind of like that.
There is trouble on the horizon.
America has turned into a very dark, dark place.
There's all kinds of trouble.
The FBI is lying to us.
The DOJ is out of control.
an energy crisis like we've never ever seen before.
People on the streets burning cities down.
People crying out, where is the answer?
The answer can be found in one place.
The crown.
It's the theme from the crown!
I mean, you could do this all day long.
With any dramatic series or dramatic movie, action movie, Patriot, like, you could pull that from anyone.
I can't believe that's the song they were talking about.
That's the song there.
I had to look it up.
I've only read the reporting on it.
I'm now on all kinds of lists of the FBI because I went to Apple and I looked that song up.
But I looked that song up and when I heard it, I'm like, you've got to be kidding me.
That's the song that made them write an article that says that they're giving the Nazi
salute
Trump Rally plays music
resembling
QAnon song
crowd reacts.
That is embarrassing.
I mean,
here's the thing.
They would accuse
and have accuse you
of being involved
in all sorts of things
as it revolves around
the election and QAnon
and who knows what else,
even though you're not.
But neither one of us
even knew what the song was.
I didn't.
I didn't know what the song was.
what the song was.
I had, wait a minute.
Are you saying that maybe...
Is this the song?
Or is this the crown?
You don't know, do you?
I have no idea.
That's the crown.
Okay.
I don't watch the crown either.
Yeah, I know.
But I mean, come on, man.
It is a basic cinematic piece of audio.
In fact, we, you know, when we do production pieces here, we are subscribed to a production
music library.
I know.
And they are categorized.
by genre.
One of them is cinematic, and there's like 12 different CDs when they were CDs and now
folders.
I know.
Now Sarah happens to be gone today.
She back tomorrow?
No, she's off for a couple of days.
It would be the one day.
She's taking a trip very similar to one, someone from QAnon took once.
Oh my gosh.
That's why she pointed to me yesterday.
That was a Nazi salute?
Was that a Hitler salute?
Oh, my gosh.
Well, it wasn't a Hitler salute.
but it was a salute that resembled a Hitler salute.
It used the hand.
Hey, I, that's, she was reaching out to shake his hand.
Yes, the hand, the arm was extended and the hand was flat.
I think we know what Sarah was doing.
I think we know where she really is, probably outpacked burning books.
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
John is calling us from New Hampshire, and he's a truck driver.
Hi, John. Welcome.
Hi, how's it going, Glenn?
No, I'm actually in Connecticut right now.
I'm driving an 18-wheeler, and the cost for people like owner-operators,
I'm fortunately blessed by Jesus Christ to be a truck driver here.
And, you know, we've got to give them thanks and praise.
But, you know, these owner-operators,
I'm a truck driver and, you know, everything has a cost.
When you buy that candy at the store, right now I'm hauling fish.
I'm hauling 42,000 pounds.
And I just went to go to the fuel station.
Cost me $379 for 59.8 gallons of fuel.
Wow.
Or no, it was 200 and 321, and I bought death at $4.49 a gallon.
And I bought 14 gallons of that.
So that's why the added price is $3.79.
Jeez.
So, I mean, I have to go somewhere else.
I mean, my company can't afford to keep going.
So I have to go to a place in Pennsylvania to fill up the rest of the fuel.
And it doesn't have to be this way.
And the regulations on truck drivers are tough.
The DEF fluid, it pollutes the environment.
California made it mandatory.
Good job Nancy Pelosi on that.
And, you know, now they realize that it's actually a negative impact for the environment.
It's not going away, though.
That doesn't last as long.
No, it's definitely not.
As long as they have the reins in this economy, they're going to continue strangling our necks and suffocating us with our taxes and their legislation.
And I'm blessed to have you on the radio.
I'm blessed to be part of your radio station right now.
Thank you.
Don't want to take too much time.
And I'm blessed to have people like you and Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh.
God bless his soul and other people that fight hard.
You guys are the future of the America, along with Trump and DeSantis.
Right.
We need to run a ticket.
Sorry.
No, no, go ahead.
We need to run a ticket.
Yeah, we need to run a MAGA conservative or just a conservative ticket.
You know, we have Chris in New New Hampshire.
We have Bunduck, I think he's running for Senate or Congress.
And then we have Caroline LeVette.
And she was an advisor for Trump.
And these people are great.
And I just, I was during the phone call there, the 40 seconds there,
I brought a thing from Starbucks, not that I really care from them.
they're kind of a liberal company, but $6.46 for an iced tea, lemonade.
So I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know what people are going to do.
I know.
John, thank you very much for checking in.
I don't know what people are going to do.
This is, people should know, this is by design.
This is the largest transfer of wealth ever.
and it is not going to the little guy.
It is going to the big guys.
This is a massive change in the entire Western world.
It is happening.
I want you to know that what is happening with our fuel,
if you're going to pump the gas,
you've seen that our fuel price is down.
However, that's just because we're draining the oil
from our strategic reserves.
We are sitting here at a time for the first time since I was in high school,
are we worried about possible nuclear war?
And yet we are draining our entire strategic oil reserve.
We have auctioned off another 10 million barrels.
And we're delivering the oil from November 1st through November 30th.
So we're releasing all of this to our own detriment.
And why are we doing it?
We're only doing it because the election is here.
And if it does continue into December and January,
that then is just putting us behind the eight ball.
God forbid something happens.
This is immoral what's going on.
in Europe, what a surprise.
The EU has now proposed a supply chain emergency powers act.
Whenever a government asks for emergency powers, be aware.
The companies now in Europe are going to be made to prioritize production of key products and stockpile goods under drafts.
EU rules that would give Brussels emergency power to tackle supply chain crisis.
Is your solution more government?
If your solution is more government and more emergency powers, then by definition, you are on the fascistic side.
If you believe in the free market, if you believe in the average person and reducing
the burden on the average person from a federal government, then you are not on the fascistic side.
They're saying, listen to this, we need new tools that allow us to act fast and collectively
at whatever kind of risk we might face.
Hmm, okay, that's good.
Sure.
Now, what's happening?
because of not the war, but because of the Paris Accords,
France and all of Europe started going to green energy, renewable energy.
It is not stable, nor can it produce the amount of energy that is needed.
Then you add one crisis on top.
One.
You don't have a situation.
secure life if you are only based on one one source.
If you only have, there's no backup for your entire life.
You're in trouble.
You're in real, real trouble.
Right now, they are shutting factories down.
And they're shutting these factories down because they can't afford
the fuel to keep them running.
And there's a great story from Yahoo Finance today.
Firewood is the new gold.
The new goal, gold.
Firewood.
Right now, countries in Europe are facing a very, very cold winter,
the possibility of no energy.
so people theft and firewood are the two biggest things right now.
People are being broken into, their houses are being broken into,
people are stealing whatever they can,
and people who are trying to survive are just holding on to firewood.
The energy prices in Europe have climbed as much as a thousand percent,
1,000%
Now, if the people in charge of the EU
actually cared
they would see what a disaster
the Paris Accords have been
and they would back away
but they're not. Right now
as they're asking for emergency powers
the EU is upgrading its commitment
to the Paris Agreement, climate target.
So they're saying we're going to reach it even faster than promised.
What does this mean for us?
Why are you paying the price you're paying at the gas pump?
We have more oil than Saudi Arabia.
Why are you about to pay what you're going to pay for heat if you have gas heat?
why? Why are you paying so much for natural gas or LP? Why? We have more natural gas in LP than
anybody and anybody. We can put more natural gas into a tank and put it at your house or run a line
to your house than anybody else. Why are you paying for more? Natural gas prices have doubled
just this year.
The price now for fuel and for an hour of power at your house
is up 124% in New England up 96%.
Why?
Because the elites feel that their solution is the right solution.
The problem is the elites.
The people who think they know better than you.
I don't think I or anyone else knows better than you for what you are facing.
What is happening in Europe this winter will be here next winter.
Winter is coming.
And we now have politicians all over the world that are just playing Game of Thrones.
That's it.
That's what this is all about.
Did you notice how the people suffered when they're playing Game of Thrones?
Did the little people ever, were they ever part of consideration?
We're going back to a feudal system.
We're going back to the, we're on the road to serfdom.
And as soon as we stop trapping ourselves in this game,
that Republicans are Nazis and everybody else,
everyone who's a Democrat is a communist.
We're never going to get past it.
The real problem are the leaders all over the world.
That's the problem.
The ones who are making the Paris Accord Agreement,
the ones who are making the agreement for ESG,
the people in power at the biggest corporations, the biggest banks, and the governments of the world.
You didn't have any part of it.
Did you even know what ESG was?
Most people at banks didn't even know what it was a year ago.
So who came up with it?
When was it decided?
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
Hey, so Stu, looks like he's going to be...
He's going to be talking about annexing the places where they were just chased out.
He's just going to annex those tonight.
Looks like that.
That's the reporting so far.
Yeah.
Now, I don't know.
I guess he's annexed Crimea, right?
But he has not annexed Donbos or any of these other regions.
Donetsk.
Donetsk.
What's the one they've lost?
Luhansk.
They've lost the territory to the north recently.
to Ukraine.
So they're going to, what, try to hunker down
in the other two regions?
I don't really, I don't know.
He's saying that they are saying now
that there is a,
there is a bill
in the upper house, I guess,
of Russian, the Russian parliament.
And it is just to say,
all that area is ours.
And they're afraid that,
he may be going harsher than just a special military operation.
In fact, there's speculation that Putin may opt for a national military mobilization,
including a draft.
Now, he's avoided this so far because it would be deeply unpopular.
But it's the only thing he can do to really win,
because he's lacking soldiers.
They don't have them.
And the military staffing is because people are surrendering.
They are deserting.
They're sending volunteers right to the front line with very little training.
And they're enlisting prisoners now.
Yeah.
One of the things that's been interesting about this is we all know the concept of total war, right?
It's not even just you, if you're a soldier going to war and fighting the actual
battles, but it's everybody at home is at war, too.
We're all, it's, it's every aspect of our lives. This is the struggle of our lives.
And that's an approach that, you know, obviously we saw fascist governments from the 30s take
with their people saying that you must sacrifice everything. And the fact that there's economic
hardships is just part of it. This is, this is the struggle for our lives.
Russia with Putin this time has really tried to attempt the opposite here, which is give almost no
effect to the life.
It changed no effect of the lives of the average citizen where this is just a special military
operations going on outside our borders.
We'll get this done.
Don't worry about it.
You continue with your parties and your life as it goes.
And they've had some economic issues.
But I mean, by some measures, they've done better.
Yeah.
By some measures.
They have.
It's a, no one I think believes it's a long term solution to their economic woes.
But, you know, because of arrangements with other countries.
China, India in particular, they've been able to kind of hold the economy up.
And the average citizen has not had their lives destroyed other than McDonald's going away,
which of course would destroy your life.
There are times.
I did.
I was on vacation and away from McDonald's in a place you wouldn't want to eat McDonald's.
You know, the local food was so good.
And yet, towards the end of vacation, I passed to McDonald's and I was like, I kind of want to stop.
Yeah.
I kind of want to stop.
So here, this could be the escalation, right, where he's decided.
we no longer can shield the everyday citizen from the effects of what's going on.
And that is a major escalation.
In some ways, it seems necessary.
And if you're going to a military draft, I mean, that is a, that's turning.
We don't know that for sure.
That's speculation.
And we'll just have to see.
But if he is going to make a major escalation,
please pray for our president that he is.
is touched by the finger of God and does not escalate himself.
This could be very, very bad news.
I'm more worried about him and the Pentagon and the decisions that we're making than I really am of Vladimir Putin.
Let me go to Han in Texas.
Hello, Han.
Hey, Glenn.
How are you, sir?
Real good.
I'm in El Paso, Texas.
and seeing the news about Martha's Vineyard and 50 that they can handle migrants,
the news just reported that we're now up to 1,500 per day, every day in El Paso.
And that is nonstop.
How is this changing El Paso?
What is it like to live there?
Well, all the migrant shelters, they're now calling on all the churches to try to take in migrants
to provide food for migrants.
People are buying shoes because they don't have shoes.
And they were all downtown.
And then the city and the county are buying these buildings to house the migrants.
And they're talking, you know, like $2 million, $8 million.
That's going to affect the taxpayers here.
And El Paso already has the highest property taxes in Texas.
And this is just...
going to add to that. And, you know, and then with the appraisals doubling, the taxpayers in El Paso getting
squeezed. And if this is really a federal issue, it shouldn't be on the taxpayers of El Paso.
No, it shouldn't be. And that's the thing that infuriates me so much when, you know, places like New York
City say, we're overwhelmed, you know, four busloads. We're overwhelmed. This isn't a border.
town, what does that even mean?
Do you think border towns just magically have money, you know, spewing from their noses?
I mean, it's so weird.
It is so strange.
All of the complaints that we're hearing from Martha's Vineyard and New York City and Washington, D.C., and Chicago are all the complaints that we have here in border states.
Right.
It's like, hey, we, you have to understand.
We didn't even know they were coming.
We didn't even know how many beds to have.
We don't have the resources.
Yeah.
That's what we've been saying for the past half of.
century, right?
They don't register with the equivalent of open table and make reservations when they're
coming across the border.
They don't go to the open border app and say, hey, we're coming with five.
I hope you guys are ready.
That doesn't happen.
They just come and we don't have the resources and we just try to figure it out.
And then they get shipped halfway across.
They wind up either, most of them wind up staying in the border states.
Some of them go all across the country to red states and blue states.
But the vast majority of them wind up staying in border states.
and we do not have the resources to handle it.
It is a burden.
You guys, up in the blue states, have been denying this.
On Martha's Vineyard, you've been saying they're a blessing.
And there's nothing.
Now look.
We could send you 10,000 blessings.
Yeah, we could say, we thought we were helping.
It wouldn't even make a dent.
Our buses are just buses of blessings.
And you guys can take them with your multi-million dollar homeless budgets and deal with it.
These border towns don't have that.
They're just forced to get screwed all the time by policies, by the way, that are being implemented with people who are living on Martha's Vineyard, who have houses on Martha's Vineyard.
Those people are the ones incentivizing this behavior and then limiting the government's ability to stop it.
Well, but they were very enriched by their 48-hour stay.
I mean, the people of Martha's Vineyard, I mean, they used the word, we were enriched by them.
really you were enriched in a 48 hour visit where you didn't do anything but call the National Guard and say can you guys come and get these people what an enriching experience that is yeah so sickening usually they're enriched because they get below cost labor for their incredible gardens now now they're getting it in another way so so Han what what is happening in alpaso are you guys standing well it's
It's tough, but I did want you to research a candidate.
Guadalupe Canner is the first independent candidate to run in Texas history for county judge.
And she's going to...
What's her name?
Guadalupe Hennair, G-I-N-E-R.
And if you could get her on sometime, she's fantastic.
She's conservative, but she's not bending towards any party.
She's trying to set a new path.
And that's the only hope we have because we keep getting bond issue after bond issue being placed on the ballot for voters.
And they keep voting for more and more bond issues for things that are not in the realm of El Paso.
Like our UMC, it's a hospital and it's supposed to take care of indigent care.
But they're wanting a bond so that they can build robotics and state of the art that competes
with the private sector.
And they always get approved.
Yeah, they do.
That's really bad too.
Really bad.
You cannot got the private sector.
By taking that on, your taxes go up.
And quite honestly, usually scientific advancement slows down because there's no competition for it.
This is my ultimate pet peeve, a stupid issue.
Because people do it all the time.
All the time.
Even in super red conservative areas, you throw a bond up for people to vote and people do what we call a benefit analysis.
Not a cost benefit analysis, but a benefit analysis.
Hey, I would like this new thing.
Therefore, I'll check this box with no cost whatsoever.
Of course, that means taxes go up.
And it's much worse than that.
For example, a lot of cities do this where they build these incredible.
nice rec centers with gymnasiums and and and it's driving.
I don't know if this is happening in your state, but in Texas, this happens a lot.
A lot.
While we're building 90 million dollar high school stadiums for football, 90 million dollar high school stadiums.
Right.
They'll build a rec center that's got facilities, places to meet, you know, whatever.
and they might be very nice.
And what they will do is they will build this facility with your tax dollars.
And then your taxes will go up, so you're paying for this facility.
Then they will charge you a membership fee.
But this membership fee will be below market, right?
For this facility, you would pay much more for a membership fee.
So they'll cut it by 30 or 40 percent, so lots of people will join it.
Now, of course, there's another gym that is in the private sector that's built across town
and is an existing business that gets put out of business because now,
they've been undercut in the market by 30 or 40%.
And if they somehow remain to stay open,
they get to pay taxes to their competition.
Now, here's a great thing.
Here's a great thing.
If you think your gym membership is hard to cancel,
you can never cancel your gym membership with your taxes.
It never ends.
Never ends.
It's the Hotel California of gymnasiums.
It really is.
David in Virginia, welcome to the Glenbeck program.
Mr. Beck, how are you, sir?
I'm very good.
My wife and I had been married 20 years, even before then, back 9-11.
I owned two restaurants, and because of 9-11, it shook the west, and I had my restaurants for an Idaho,
and I had to shut them down.
So I rebuilt and met my wife.
And then we bought, we were living in Houston, and we bought a home there, and then we both took positions in Las Vegas.
We're both chefs.
And then 2008 came along.
We lost both of our homes.
Oh, geez.
We rebuilt again, and we moved to your favorite city, Portland, Oregon, and opened a restaurant, which was very successful for five years, and then COVID came up.
along and we lost all of it again. So here we are rebuilding after these real disasters in America
that have just been one after the other. I'm wondering if maybe you're the problem, David,
to all of our problems. My wife might agree with that. I tell you, this is one of the bigger
problems, I think, with the younger generation. Your kids have watched you go out of business
over and over and over again.
And this is happening all across the nation
with no fault of your own.
And they are being convinced
that that's the capitalist system,
that you just can just go out of business
and then you rebuild
and then you go out of business.
And so my parents really never got ahead.
That's a huge issue
because it's proving to be true
right now
because the government is in everybody's face
and way.
So you can't get ahead.
Just as you get ahead, something else that most likely they are responsible for, it happens and it collapses.
That's what 08 was all about.
In some ways, that's what 9-11 was about, all of our policies of the past coming home to roost.
08 was definitely about that.
All of the strapping of trying to get back on your feet while you were bailing out the banks.
That was a problem. That's coming home to roost.
COVID, absolutely.
I mean, Fauci, we now know that Fauci was lying to us about gain of function.
So the governments of the world, China, us, maybe both of us, I don't know.
We created that.
And then we made it worse by what our government did.
Boy, I wouldn't believe in this system either if this is what I
grew up seeing.
Would you?
It's very interesting.
My son is a doctor.
I mean, what he did was after school,
he would come and sit in my restaurant and see how hard I worked.
And then he went on to just excel.
He became anesthesiologist and then is going back for a PhD in psychology.
Wow.
So, but I hope it was the influence that he needed that I gave him through the hard work and determination that I proved.
And he's seeing it now come to roost in his field now, too, government involved in absolutely everything.
And doctor after doctor, getting really frustrated with that.
But again, those are the ones that, you know, actually knew what freedom was like.
young doctors coming into it, they may not understand what this system used to be.
Thank you so much, David, and God bless you. God bless you, because we're headed for another
real problem down the road. I have a question for this audience of somebody I would really like
to talk to, a group of people, but I don't know if they have the guts to call
in. I'll tell you about them next.
