Yeah, you may know this. we've talked about it before, but now he's on record. Yeah, that guy is the dirt bag that is now overseeing the January 6th investigation. No, not a problem on that.

That could help your savings in retirement, building up a protective wall against inflation or any other kind of insanity like, I don't know, stock market crash. Oh, that will never happen. Really?

Starting point is 00:03:10 He's been arrested before But they caught him And And apparently He's only been arrested 101 times And this is his 102 And once you pass
Starting point is 00:03:25 102 I don't know Did they give him Was there a ticker tape thing That happened in the courtroom? You just went went over 100. Congratulations. You're number one.
Starting point is 00:03:38 I'm not sure, but he's out again. Also, a man on bail for attempted murder, who was also out on bail for two separate gun cases, is now in court for another gun in a stolen car. And, you know, the prosecutors just said, Wait, wait, wait, we're going to give him bail, right? I mean, we're going to let him out. The judge, thank God, said, are you out of your mind?
Starting point is 00:04:09 No, actually, this is the way of the world now, Judge. He's in jail today, finally. By the way, we can't prosecute people, but the Trump and White House Trump officials are likely to be criminally charged now in the election probe. And the good news is, is this completely against the Constitution? but the capital police have decided on their own, nothing to do with Nancy Pelosi. They just took it upon themselves
Starting point is 00:04:38 that they are going to, they're going to appoint their own prosecutor. So the police are going to pick their own prosecutor completely against the law, unconstitutional, and they're going to let them prosecute. And if it doesn't work out the first time the way they want, they'll appoint their own judge too. You know, because they're the Capitol Police.
Starting point is 00:05:02 They don't answer to anybody, but I don't think that's a problem. I don't think that's a problem. Can we please play the Energy Secretary audio about the spiraling oil prices and what we're going to do about it? Here's Jennifer Granholm. It's cut one. You know what? These upward spiraling prices of fossil fuels are exactly why we have to transition to a clean economy. because, I mean, my counterpart in Ireland, Minister Ryan, often says no country has ever been held hostage to access to the sun or access to the wind.
Starting point is 00:05:42 So let's build our own energy security, all of us at home so that we are not held hostage. First of all, did you see The Simpsons? Has anyone ever heard of Montgomery Burns? His entire plan was stopping the sun. No, nobody's ever held people hostage from the sun. That doesn't happen. And my Irish friend, my Irish counterpart, he also says, top of the morning.
Starting point is 00:06:07 And I love it when he says that. It's just full of sunshine. I get power off of that. Ryan, is that even a real person? You're just saying, you know, Irish names at this point. I met him at a pot of gold. Anyway, the spiraling oil prices, you mean the ones you caused? the ones you caused are exactly why we must go green.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Whenever you hear the administration talk about this transition, it's not a transition from inflation. It is in transition to a new world order. That's what's happening. That's what they mean in this transition. A complete green society and one run by the Great Reset. We love these transitional periods. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Dog man, one with the streets. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. It is Friday. All right, Stu, you're ready for some good news. Yes, Glenn. Now, why do you say it like that? No, I was just reacting to your claim of being one with the streets. Oh, that's me.
Starting point is 00:07:47 You know that. That's your history. I know. Cut 15 is what we're going to play. and Cut 15 is really quite entertaining. This was posted on, I don't know, commie chat, what's a TikTok. And it's a teacher of a middle school class
Starting point is 00:08:09 who's having a crisis. Listen to this. Okay, TikTok, I really need your help here on this one. I'm a teacher. I teach fifth in sixth grade. And this morning, I don't know, somehow, the concept of pronouns came up. And one of my students said,
Starting point is 00:08:27 well, Miss O'Dell, did you even ask me my pronouns? And I was like, whoa, I hadn't actually asked him his pronouns. And I had called him a him. And I said, oh, I'm so sorry. I haven't actually called you. I mean, asked you what your pronouns are. And what are they? He said, I'm sorry, Banana said, Banana and Rock.
Starting point is 00:08:48 And I was like, dude, no. like don't mess around I was actually really upset because I thought he was making fun of it and in fact I'm still pretty sure he was making fun of it and but they all agreed no like you can choose anything
Starting point is 00:09:03 banana rock if you want banana and rock to be a pronoun banana rocks your pronoun is it good god oh no you cut it off there oh how could you cut it off there her next statement is is it really true are we at this place in America where a pronoun you can just choose anything. Yes. Yes, that's where we're off. That's
Starting point is 00:09:28 where we are. You're just catching on to this. Don't make fun of that. There are pencil over there. It's crying pencil's little eyes out. It's absolutely incredible that. I think it's obviously that's a hundred percent what I would be doing in high school right now or middle school. Exactly what I would be doing. I would be torturing every teacher demanding they call me banana or rock. A hundred percent. That's my whole student. I would be the most of, I was pretty obnoxious in class, as you can imagine.
Starting point is 00:10:06 But I would be the most obnoxious. The most obnoxious at this time. Oh, my. My parents would kill me. I mean, my dad would be, you know, jobless. My mother would have been burned at the stake. I mean, because I would have just been crazy with this. Yes.
Starting point is 00:10:23 I would have used this to get out of class. Say my pronoun. Every single day. Every day I would have some sort of made up gender crisis to go home. I mean, I would go. It would be, I would manipulate this system into zero days of school. That's exactly what I would do with it. And I'd be proud of it.
Starting point is 00:10:42 I'd be dumb, but I'd be proud of it. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. This is the Glenn Beck program, Mr. Michael Malice, author of The Anarchist, a handbook and a great book called Dear Leader, and the host of his podcast. You're welcome. Michael Malice, what is it that you think is the biggest story of the week? Well, I think the biggest issue was the primaries that happened on Tuesday, and more broadly speaking, and I'm sure there's something you've discussed as well, is this insane brinksmanship that the members of Democratic Party. seem to be playing in some of these primaries. Because the argument is you have this kind of insurrectionist wing of the Republican Party
Starting point is 00:11:45 and they're going to destroy democracy. Dick Cheney, one of the great villains of our time, just cut an ad for his despicable daughter saying Donald Trump is the most dangerous person that America's ever had to face in the future of our republic. The most dangerous, Dick Cheney's basically been lying with the cross. He's a domestic terrorist who kills millions of people and literally has no heart. and has no consequences for it. How many children has he killed?
Starting point is 00:12:12 You know, it's despicable. But the point is, let's suppose they're telling truth, and they genuinely believe this. They're trying to push Trump candidates toward the general with the presumption that these candidates can't get elected, but Trump won in 2020 at least. And this was Stalin strategy in Germany in the 30s, which is he had the German communists
Starting point is 00:12:36 who had an enormous amount of support. go after the Social Democrats Party, Social Democrat Party, excuse me, called them social fascists, and basically say that those are the ones you should attack instead of Hitler. So if what they're saying is not some cynical ploy,
Starting point is 00:12:51 this would be demented. And since we have a dementia patient in the White House, maybe it's appropriate. But this shows that these people are not, either they're really, really dumb or they're really, really dishonest. I think it's a combination of both of them, Honestly, I think there are some that are just so unbelievably dishonest, and it stems from them just being really, really stupid, I think.
Starting point is 00:13:19 What did you think of, you know, yesterday everybody was talking about Alex Jones, the mainstream media went crazy with that, but they didn't talk that yesterday also Kevin Spacey was ordered to pay, I think, $31 million in bad boy money. And there was another one that happened yesterday. I can't remember. I mean, it wasn't just Alex Jones, but again, the media picks and chooses. What did you think of that? Well, I had Alex on my show last week. I mean, Alex is clearly being made into a test case to demonstrate that, you know, they had him by the short hairs.
Starting point is 00:13:56 They were more than happy to see if they can twist the knife. The story that I think people might not be aware of is apparently his attorney handed over his entire phone records. Excuse me. every text must be sent and every email he sent for the last two years by accident, and then later used that to try to call for a mistrial after he had a window to say, you got to send it back and he didn't say anything about it. They were asking for $150 million or more. The jury gave the families $4 million,
Starting point is 00:14:26 but there's still the penalty phase that's going to come to date. So I don't think, you know, there's a lot of people salivating that I hope this is the end of Alex Jones. And they haven't given a reason as to why. You know, he said horrible things. He apologized for those horrible things. He's going to pay his price. What is it that he's saying that they find so dangerous? And I think it is that Alex Jones' whole schick is the belief that what is told to us by the corporate press is in fact dishonest.
Starting point is 00:14:53 My disagree with Alex was he's naive because this government would have no problem killing kids to further their agenda. As we saw in Afghanistan last summer, where no one had any consequences for it or even outrage. Well, I tend to agree with you. However, you know, I think what he did, and this is not a legal argument, this is just a personal argument. I think what he was saying about, you know, that this was a Psiops and, you know, all these kids were actors and the parents were actors. I just, I found that the lowest of the low. But if you believed it, which I'm not sure if he did or not, but if you believed it, I guess you have a right to say it. Yeah, there's something very much to be said that if you're saying things that are so outrageous,
Starting point is 00:15:37 and you don't get to go to a funeral and just laugh at people and just kind of shrug it off and say it's free speech. And if it's something when you're saying that your kids are being used to further an agenda and they didn't really die, there is limits to free speech. And Alex is not an acknowledges this. He's the first one. He's saying this was completely wrong what I did. I should have done it. I should have caused these parents' pain and suffering.
Starting point is 00:16:00 So this is the thing he's also on trial in Connecticut. So this was the Texas verdict on the Connecticut verdict. And they very much want to, regardless of Alex, broadly speaking, there is very much an attempt, which we heard in 2016, when it was a given that Hillary was going to win, and fake news was their term, the establishment's term, that questioning, establishment narratives, whether it's with COVID, whether it's the 2020 election
Starting point is 00:16:21 and Lester Stacey Abrams, is something that needs to be made heretical. So when you say this is just the beginning of something, what do you foresee? I mean, we saw ourselves during COVID. You know, to have any kind of views outside of carefully
Starting point is 00:16:38 delimited parameters established by tech companies and or the media and or the government is enough to do for them to do what they can to silence the person. But thankfully, in my opinion, the technology isn't there to vanish someone because as of today, despite
Starting point is 00:16:54 big seven-figure legal judgments against him, if you want to know what Alex Jones has to say, his book's coming out in a few weeks. So that power that they had to vanish people that you and I could nat rattle off and remember that power has largely gone and I think they're frantic about it. Yeah, I think the thing is starting to fall apart because they're in, they're in such panic mode because they were too arrogant. They just, they just let it rip with everything.
Starting point is 00:17:23 And, you know, I just, I don't see it lasting long. The gender reassignment surgery stuff. I don't know if you saw what came out of Great Britain, but I did about 45 minutes on it yesterday in the podcast. And that thing is, that is just, it's crazy. They are literally saying overseas, they're saying, don't follow the American model. They have gone off the rails.
Starting point is 00:17:49 And now Sweden, Finland, where else was it, England, and one other country, they have released studies that show this is the most dangerous thing that you can do to a child. And they're stopping it. They're closing it all down. But I think the problem with America is that there's a huge wing of the Democratic Party
Starting point is 00:18:11 that can't do anything but double down. And that if you challenge this doubling down, you're basically effectively red out of leftism. So they're going to be in a really tricky position. You know, we just started talking about how they're trying to push the Trump wing in terms of getting it forward to the general. There's also a big movement within a Democratic Party to purge people who are in any sense, moderates on any issue.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Look at Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema, who are basically being treated as Trump figures by many Democratic activists. It's crazy. So how does that end, Michael? Traditionally, how does that end? Oh, it's going to end fun for me, because I do love the political carnage, and I'm sure in some level you do do, because they're really going to be, faced with two bad choices. And when we watch them try to reconcile square the circle,
Starting point is 00:18:58 it's going to be very public and very hilarious. Or we're all going to be, you know, locked up. But in that case, hopefully I'll get the top bunk, then. Glenn, excuse me. So let me ask you this. The last question is on Nancy Pelosi. And it's not about Taiwan or anything else. We were having a serious debate. Is she, is she senile or Is she drunk all the time, or is it possible that she's both? I mean, it could just be because she has loose dentures. But here's my view on Pelosi. If the Republicans take Congress, they should do an investigation of what's going on with her husband, his money, and that arrest.
Starting point is 00:19:41 And that would really hit the Democrats where it hurts. You know what? I don't think the Republicans will do it because I'll bet you there's a lot of Republicans that would be. And I'd be glad for that. but I wonder if they'd even do it. I think when Hunter Biden and Joe Biden are gone, nobody in the political ruling class give a flying crap about it.
Starting point is 00:20:02 All the republic, they just, they wouldn't care about it. And somebody's going to start paying for their crimes. Okay, thank you. Michael Malice, I appreciate it. Thank you. It's Michael Malice and his website or his podcast is, you're welcome.
Starting point is 00:20:20 You can hear it wherever you. you get your podcasts. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Well, hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're here. We have a huge show last hour of the week. I'm going to be at CPAC tomorrow, and the New York Times just came out with an article about the people who are attacking ESG.
Starting point is 00:20:54 They're crazy. They're trying to destroy one. of the best things ever and they're very dangerous. Really? I thought it was all a conspiracy theory. Now there's a new line of attack. Sure it exists, but stopping it is evil. Oh, okay. I might be changing my topic at CPAC tomorrow. I'm just saying because I love the New York Times. All right. We're going to take a quick break one minute and then we're right into the Biden administration's monkey pox orders and the craziness that is California. Stand by. You and I both know all of our children are gifts from God. There is no doubt, but there are also our responsibility. We have to feed them?
Starting point is 00:21:46 Oh, that's not a question. I thought, because I didn't know, you have to feed them. Huh, write that one down. Clothe them, ensure that there's a roof over their heads. And most importantly, help them learn, learn the truth, help them discern the truth. You have to help them develop their minds. You have to make sure that they're educated so that when they leave the nest and go out into this country of ours, they're prepared to help preserve it from harm. I want you to check out the Tuttle Twins brand new book. It's called American History, American History. I want you to grab this book. In fact, just go online. You don't have to buy it. Just preview a free thing. sample chapter. See for yourself why I think it is so good for our kids. It doesn't concentrate on the names and the stories, the names and the dates memorization, but on the stories. It's crucial
Starting point is 00:22:40 that we start telling our story again. It's tuttle twinsbeck.com. Go there now. Check it out. Tuttletwinsbeck.com. So, Stu, the Biden administration has declared monkeypox a public health emergency. Now, is this a public health emergency? I mean, are we all, aren't we clear? I mean, it's really simple, and it has nothing to do with gay people at all. Nothing. Seriously, nothing. I think we could make a really clear rule.
Starting point is 00:23:14 You can comment in a second. I think we can make a really clear rule. Don't have sex or actively cuddle with anyone who has open weepy sores. Now, I don't, I never thought. I'd have to say that. But I guess we do. Don't just roll around naked with somebody with sores. Don't snuggle up to somebody's face who has open weepy, pussy sores.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Don't do it. That's the way we solve this. And it's not really that hard of a problem, is it? You are really demeaning the OS community, the open sword community, Glenn. Where's their fun at all of this? I'm sorry. Yeah. I know.
Starting point is 00:24:00 All those people who are really a downtrodden people, people who have been ignored, the OpenSore Society, I do apologize to you. But you are the problem, you know, that say, I have open weepy sores and yet I'm going to rub them all over somebody else. Yeah, there is a problem. There's these questions that are going around. Is this an issue that is specific to the LGBTQQIA2 plus community? And the answer to that is yes and no, right? No, it's not the only way you can pass it, right? You can have other, like if you have, you could have intimate contact,
Starting point is 00:24:39 you can have skin-to-skin contact over long periods of time, you can touch an open sore and put it in your eye. There's other ways you can pass it. However, and this is the important part, the other side of it too, which is the yes side of it, 98% of cases are in the community of men. having sex with men. With men.
Starting point is 00:25:02 With men. Now, I do want to... I guess you could say that you're bisexual, so that makes you not gay. But it doesn't make you heterosexual. Right. So there's a... This has been a thing, because I've been fascinated by this terminology. Because what we typically do, Glenn, in the English language, let's say, is we have...
Starting point is 00:25:28 something like a hamburger, okay? And a hamburger is a word that is used to symbolize a definition of something else. A piece of cow, fried up on a griddle, put on a couple of buns with lettuce, tomato, and other toppings. We don't say it like that because if we talked like that, it would take six months to get through anything. So instead we come up with a word that summarizes all of that. called a hamburger. Now, in every news story in America about monkey pox, the story is men having sex with men, which is fascinating because we have words that would define sexual activity.
Starting point is 00:26:13 We actually even have abbreviations, right? Like we have LGBTQ-Q-I-A-2-plus. We all understand that sort of behavior. To have to describe it every single time is a bit artificial. Linguistically, I would say. Yeah, and it's, you know, it's also something that I don't want, you know, if I have very young children, I don't want to be in the car. Like, you may be right now with your car, with your child. And they look up and say, what do they mean men having sex with men, mommy?
Starting point is 00:26:48 I will say, if you made it through the open source conversation and you're still here with your little kids, that's on you. Okay, that's on you as a parent. That's not. Kids have open sores, and it's not monkey pox. That's true. Of course, anyone I see with a cold sore or anything, my first response is, could be monkey pox. Probably monkey pox.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Could be cancer, but probably monkey pox. Can I bring up one other part of this that I don't think is getting nearly enough attention right now, which is how badly Joe Biden has screwed this up? I, it's, yeah, I know, it's hard to believe. But first of all, you know, this isn't saying it's a pandemic. It's saying it's a public health emergency, which the LGBTQIA 2 plus community is upset about it. And they're upset about it for one reason because they waited so long to declare it a public health emergency. This just helps direct funds and all the things that it does.
Starting point is 00:27:47 But the interesting part about that is it appears that Joe Biden and his administration did not make it a public health emergency. earlier because they did not want to add stigma to the virus and to gay people who might be getting it or excuse me men having sex with men who might be getting it. So they, for woke purposes to not stigmatize, they didn't make it a public health emergency, didn't make it into a bigger deal within the communities affected, and that has made the problem worse. The other situation... Okay, so wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:28:23 I just have to make sure I have this right. I know. I just want to make sure I have this part right. So when Reagan was slow on AIDS because he said it's only a gay disease. Which he didn't say. And, right, right. But they claim that he was, he hesitated because it was only a gay disease. And then when he saw Rock Hudson, who was gay, but a friend, they say that's when he was interested. and they were really upset because obviously inaction kills people. So they said he was an evil, evil dude for that.
Starting point is 00:29:02 Are they going to say the same thing about Joe Biden? Because while he did it for the opposite reasons, I don't want to bring stigma to the disease. I mean, if it's a disease, I think it's already got as much stigma on it as it can have. The sores are the stigma. When you have open sores, there's stigma attacks. to that, especially for sexual reasons.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Unless you've been harpooned or something like that, then that open sore might just be something you should check anyway, but might not be monkey pox. But now that he's had people die from it, no, not anyone died from it because it generally doesn't kill people. But anyway, now that he's hesitated, are they going to hate him? I don't know. It's a good point. And you're correct. Zero people in the United States have died. I think it's nine worldwide have died for monkeypox.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Now, look, you could say that it's got to get worse since that may happen, and it is something serious. It's apparently very, very painful and terrible to deal with. But there's more to this story, which the thing is, this is unlike COVID, right? This is not like we have a new virus, and we're like, holy crap, what do we do? We better get Operation Warp Speed. We better get all these medicines in the pipeline, all these things going on. We already have a vaccine for this, already right? It was something that we already had gone through for smallpox,
Starting point is 00:30:25 and the smallpox vaccine works on monkey pox. Now, not too long ago, Glenn, we had 20 million doses of this vaccine, which we just let expire. Now, so now when we need it, we don't have it. And that's not all Joe Biden's fault, but the second part of it is, which is he, let me give you this. This is from the New York Times. By the time the federal government had placed its orders, because we waited too long,
Starting point is 00:30:55 the vaccine's Denmark-based manufacturer, Bavarian Nordic, had booked other clients and was unable to do the work for months, officials said, even though the federal government had invested well over $1 billion in the vaccine's development. So we helped make the vaccine. Then we had 20 million doses that we let expire. And it was so bad that health and human services so miscalculated the need that I'm On May 23rd, this is not like two years ago, five years ago, when you might understand, we don't think monkeypox is coming. On May 23rd of this year, they allowed Bavarian Nordic, the vaccine manufacturer, to deliver
Starting point is 00:31:33 215,000 fully finished doses that the federal government had already bought to European countries instead of holding them for the United States. Well, I think it's another fine decision by the Biden administration. I mean, it fits right in. Can I ask you this? Listen to this. There's a new guide out, okay? A new guide how to protect yourself, okay?
Starting point is 00:32:01 Yes. And it says if you discover a bump on your skin, but you still want to, and I'm not making this up, share in the fun of a gay fetish festival, but you have a bump on your skin that might be monkey pox. You should, quote, cover it up with a band-aid or, clothing before you go out. Now that's interesting. That's really interesting.
Starting point is 00:32:31 That's fascinating. So I'm going to add open weepy sores to band-aids now, okay? So the San Francisco, San Francisco had their annual Up Your Alley Street Fair. Hmm. Hmm? Yeah. And the California senator, Scott Weiner, which is, He was a senator.
Starting point is 00:33:03 And they told potential attendees of the fetish festival how to remain safe. Weiner, I'm sorry, the senator, shared a guide from the organization on Core Alley without fear of Monkey Pox. Core Alley is the Up Your Alley Street Fest. And they said it was really great guidance on monkeypox so we can continue to have fun while reducing. risk. Well, now, wait a minute. I'm not sure that going ahead with the Up Your Alley Fetish Festival is necessarily the best idea. Now, remember, this is coming from California.
Starting point is 00:33:47 But remember, our own government, as soon as the Biden administration got in, one of the first things they did was put out advice on how you can safely attend orgies. So now they're doing this. Now, I just, you know, this, Wiener says, you know, that we have to, we have to, you know, just go out there and have fun, but, you know, put a Band-Aid on, you know, and, and, but just go out and just go out and have fun, you know what I mean. But here's what he said in 2020 about COVID. we need a national mask mandate period. That's how we'll beat this virus. He went on to say here recently about the monkey pox
Starting point is 00:34:38 that we don't need any top-down rules. People should decide what is right for them when it comes to their health. Hmm. Fascinating. And, you know, I just, before I take a quick break, I was thinking of this, and I want a response that is, intellectual and accurate. Sure. And accurate on how I feel.
Starting point is 00:35:04 So I would just say to Senator Weiner, I don't know. Up Your Alley. I mean, no, it sounds like a great time. Anyway, hmm? Not up your alley. Up yours. We've upped our protection.
Starting point is 00:35:21 Now, Up Yours. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. So I, uh, I want you to listen very carefully to this story. Democrats block measures to stop gain of function research. Now this is according to John Solomon reports. Gain of function is a process by which researchers genetically modify a virus. What? Senate Democrats on Thursday declined to,
Starting point is 00:36:09 offer unanimous consent to two measures on the stop gain of function research, a process now infamous over its alleged connections to the spread of COVID-19. Can we stop saying alleged? I mean, I know we don't have proof, but just because the fact that we don't have proof at this time, I think is proof. I mean, we know where these things are. We track down patient zero quite quickly. It's been, what, two years, almost three years? We know. Anyway, Republican Kansas Senator Roger Marshall put forth both the viral gain of function research moratorium act and the Safe Risk Research Act, which aimed cut funding to universities conducting such research and foreign countries to do so as well. Gain of function is a process by which
Starting point is 00:37:03 researchers genetically modify a virus. It has potential risk as an enhanced virus could potentially become a significant threat to humanity. Let me just point out a little documentary in book form called The Stand by Stephen King. It is disturbing that one of our top public health agencies directed this risky research to be offshoreed while encouraging the pause in the exact same research in the U.S., said Marshall, on the floor of the Senate just this week. Despite warnings and past lab accidents, our public health agencies, like the NIH, continue to fund the WMD research, often in China nonetheless. Shockingly, Congress has minimal insight to the amount of this research at NIH.
Starting point is 00:37:56 There is no transparency into their risk evaluation process. This is a national security issue. We must pause this research until national security experts can help create appropriate risk metrics, guardrails, and processes for this research. Now, why would the Democrats want to ban this and not pass this? It's a bill to stop something that they have claimed isn't happening. They've claimed we, Fauci said, million times we're not doing it. So if we're really not doing it, then what's the problem
Starting point is 00:38:39 with passing this bill? I'm just asking. I mean, you want to pass a bill and it says, you know, for every blonde hair, Glenn Beck grows on his head, and it starts moving forward to his forehead. We're going to give him. him a million dollars or we're going to execute him. Either way, it's not going to make a difference if we signed it or not. Okay? I'm not going to be affected by that one way or another because it's not happening. Hmm. We'll get back to you on that. British veteran Darren Brady said Hampshire police over in England were impeding his right to free speech by tracking him down for reposting a meme featuring the LGBTQ2I pride flag arranged in the shape of a swastika.
Starting point is 00:39:41 In viral footage, the arrest taken by police activist Lawrence Fox, who created the meme, officers tell the 51-year-old at his residence that someone has caused anxiety based on your social media post. Wait, they were anxious because of that? They had they were I mean it was like real anxiety because of the post Wow, they throw them in jail you darn right. That's why he was arrested He was creating anxiety in some members of the people that happened to be on social media and saw that Now here in America that would be political speech of course I could talk about a football game now and it would be classified as political speech. But for sure that kind of speech is protected. For sure,
Starting point is 00:40:38 you can't say fire in a crowded theater. I don't know. I've been in a lot of crowd of theaters my whole career and I've said fire several times from the stage. But anyway, that's a different story. Protected speech surely is the kind of speech that would include offensive political speech or cartoons. Him taking a pride flag and arranging it in the shape of a swastika actually is quite on point for a lot of people. They would say, yeah, it's a, well, it's actually a gay mafia,
Starting point is 00:41:14 is I think what my friends who are liberals in California call it, the gay mafia, that you don't speak out against these people. And when I say these people, I mean those people who are militant, militant LGBTQ2i plus people. Every time I say that, I just, I'm not going to make it any worse. Black Rock has partnered now with Coinbase to offer crypto for institutional investors. Stu, what exactly is Bitcoin out right now? I want to say it's 23, 24,000, something like that. And people are saying it's going to go down to 16.
Starting point is 00:42:09 And why did people say it was going to go down to 16? Because it has no future. Well, here's BlackRock. Now, Coinbase, wasn't Coinbase? Didn't they just lose a lot of shares recently? A lot of money in there in Coinbase? because go ahead every crypto company
Starting point is 00:42:28 has had a pretty rough go of it lately when they were when it was at 50,000 it was certainly a lot easier I think to do business but it has bounced off of its lows for sure but if I'm not mistaken
Starting point is 00:42:40 the government came out about Coinbase here recently and said they were doing something I don't remember and they are for Coinbase is fighting very angrily with the government at the moment
Starting point is 00:42:51 they've gone back and forth many times, as of course the government has not provided any guidance to any crypto company as to how they're supposed to handle certain transactions, certain tokens. It has been a nonstop government-caused source of angst for every crypto company, and Coinbase has not been exempt from that. In fact, they seem to be the target of it more than anything else. Yeah, that weird. So why would Black Rock, just before the price plummets from $60,000 per coin, Black Rock announces that they're going to open it up for institutional investors. They're going to start saying, hey, if you want to put your money into Bitcoin, put it in with us, and we'll have a very loud seat at the table.
Starting point is 00:43:48 they seem smarter than putting all of that money into a cryptocurrency when cryptocurrency is collapsing. And then for them to partner with Coinbase as it's having real problems because just of Bitcoin going down, but also because they're having problems with the government, wow, it is such a coincidence that BlackRock gets into bed with them and BlackRock, you know, opens up, you know, for investors, and they finally say, we're going to get in the crypto world.
Starting point is 00:44:22 And then the whole thing crashes. And oh my gosh, and think of this. And then that impoverishes all of those people that had any money in crypto because a lot of people, young people especially, have taken their money and put it into Bitcoin. And now it's not worth as much. And I wonder if there'll be any buy. Well, no, there will be buyers.
Starting point is 00:44:44 It'll be Black Rock. Huh. Boy, that's strange. I haven't figured out what could be going on there. Let me give you some good news. Give you some good news. Do you remember, let's start in California. In Texas, we really appreciate Californians.
Starting point is 00:45:19 We love them. We would like them to move someplace else, but we love them. and we think kind of Californians a little bit like Cubans that are still hanging out in Cuba and could get away. But it's like, oh, I don't know, I have such a sense of loyalty to Cuba. But in California, we've made difference. We've made a big difference.
Starting point is 00:45:47 During the pandemic, we interviewed Dave Folds. I don't know if you remember him from the crony sports bar and grill in Agora Hills. His restaurant was being punished by the government for defying those COVID lockdowns. His company was being sued by the Los Angeles Health Department for operating without a health permit, which they took from him. The city of Agora Hills operating without a business license because you need a health permit to get one, and their landlord for operating without proper permits and licensing. This all stemmed from
Starting point is 00:46:24 them defying the lockdowns. They even had to meet with the city of Agora Hills at criminal court. I want to give you an update. They're still in business. He wrote a staff member here recently of
Starting point is 00:46:40 this program. He said, the months we defied the orders and stayed open were the busiest months in business and sales we ever had. I don't know if what would have happened if it wasn't for the supporters like Glenn and his staff and his audience. We would have never been able to last and fight as hard as we did. We're so grateful for the generous donations from your audience.
Starting point is 00:47:03 We've used the funds to pay for two attorneys, fines. We donated a number of cash to like-minded organizations and businesses that really needed help as well. We will never regret that we took this stand. I think it made a difference in helping getting business open sooner if we had not. I just hope more businesses would have joined us in the fight. I'll forever be grateful to Glenn and all of his listeners. But that's not all. Do you remember Shivaraj?
Starting point is 00:47:37 They came on my show last year in March and told us that they had started a movement to recall the San Francisco School Board. Do you remember this? San Francisco schools were completely out of it. of control. The school board members prioritized their politics over their education, and they were more focused on renaming the schools than reopening them. So parents left, right and center, came together to do something about it. They recalled the school board in a landslide victory. They won every neighborhood in San Francisco. The mayor appointed three new school board members. Two came from the list provided by their organization. The day they won the recall,
Starting point is 00:48:18 The city council tried to put the measure on the ballot to prevent future recalls. But again, this group fought back and won. Now, according to one of the ladies, Autumn, the board has shifted the culture focusing on good governance and making sure kids can read. She had this advice for listeners. Don't let anybody tell you things are impossible. Ordinary people can do extraordinary things.
Starting point is 00:48:45 That's the foundation of our nation. And in the end, most of us want the same things. Good school, safe streets, garbage picked up on time. We unified San Francisco, from Republican to Democrat to Green Party, by focusing relentlessly on the things we could agree on. So let's talk with people on the other side. I think we all have more in common than all of us think. When you were little, you had braced some have braced in the course of recreat,
