Starting point is 00:02:37 Okay, so the president is over now, and he's in Ukraine. And wow, we are going to be there indefinitely, it seems. Here is President Biden about the money going to Ukraine. Cut 11, please. And to deliver much need of humanitarian assistance as well as food, water, medicine, shelter, and other aid to Ukraine is displaced by right. Russia's war and provide aid for those seeking refuge in other countries from Ukraine. It's also going to help schools and hospitals open.
Starting point is 00:03:16 It's going to allow pensions and social support to be paid to the Ukrainian people so they have something in their pocket. Wait, wait, wait, what? It's also going to provide critical resources to address food shortages around the globe. Okay, so wait, so wait, so wait, so, wait, so, wait, so, wait, so, so, wait. So we're sending, what, money for food shortages all around the world, all of around the world. We're also paying Ukraine's pensions. Social Security is on the ropes here, and we're now paying the Ukrainian pension fund. Did you approve this? Because I didn't. Have we even discussed this? This is the first time I've heard it. That's my money and your money. Our country,
Starting point is 00:04:01 our children's lives at stake here. And nobody seems to be talking about it. It all, doesn't matter. When you listen to what they said over the weekend, this is the foreign minister from Ukraine. What is victory? Cut one. But for us, there is a short notion of victory, and that's full restoration of Ukraine's territorial integrity. Okay, not going to happen because of the crime yet, which includes compensations for the damage inflicted, accountability. for operators of crimes and most importantly Russia must change
Starting point is 00:04:48 okay may I just say we are repeating to the letter World War I the elites the Fabian socialists got together with all of the big socialists in the in the West and they all got together and said you know if we kind of push this along
Starting point is 00:05:08 it'll be a quick war and we'll be able to collapse all of the old regimes and will be great. And we'll have this new utopian world. So what happened? Well, it wasn't quick. It killed millions. Changed the history of Europe. It did collapse some of the old empires, if that's what you were excited about,
Starting point is 00:05:34 but at what cost? And then at the end, what did they do? The same people who started the war got together and said, now we're going to punish Germany, and we're going to make them pay, and we want all the land that they claim is theirs. And we're going to take it, and they're going to pay us. And what did that do? Set up World War II. We're doing the same thing.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Exactly the same thing. And the people were not for the war. In fact, they elected a president who said, if you elect me for a second term, I will not send your boys into war. And what did he do? He waited a full three, six months? What was it? Stu, do you remember before Woodrow Wilson sent all our boys to war? We have got to wake up.
Starting point is 00:06:32 By the way, Lindsey Graham, he's now saying that we have to send fighters. We got to send the jets. We have to send the jets. really because Putin has just said that's our final straw if you put western jets in Ukraine that is the final straw because you don't need jets to defend Ukraine you need jets to fly into Russia and hit targets in Russia which correct I can understand why they'd want to do that to win a war but I can also understand how I don't know if you're Russia you're going to see that as a big problem. And this is one of the biggest issues with this, Glenn, and I don't
Starting point is 00:07:13 see how this escalation stops, is that both sides have arguments that you could see from their perspective, they're not going to want to give up on. You mentioned Crimea is not going to happen. But like, if you were Ukraine, if you're a Ukrainian citizen, you're like, well, wait a minute, they just took that. What do you mean it's not going to happen? It is going to happen. We're going to go in there and get it. And there's going to be this constant push to be able to hold those lines. Then they can have their constant push. I'm not. involved in their constant push. But that's not what, I mean, unfortunately, you're not, well, actually, fortunately,
Starting point is 00:07:44 you're not president. But unfortunately, someone better than the current president is, is not president. Because he's currently doing that with no seemingly, no limiting principle whatsoever. He keeps putting down these lines of like, well, we're not going to send jets. We're not going to send tanks. And we're not going to send missiles. All these things have happened with the exception of planes. And now we have Republicans saying we should be sending the planes.
Starting point is 00:08:07 So at what point does Biden fold on that? Well, I don't know because during this global security conference in Munich, the Chinese are talking now about giving weapons and ammunition to Russia. And the United States came out over the weekend and said, they better not do that. excuse me you better not do that that is a line for us
Starting point is 00:08:42 wait a minute wait a minute not only are we sending over tanks missiles bullets guns we're now paying for their social security we're I mean we are
Starting point is 00:08:59 the Ukrainian government we're over there And can you imagine if Brezhnev would have shown up in Hanoi? He would have just shown up in Hanoi in Vietnam. We all knew that Russia was involved. We all knew they were giving. But if he would have said, you know what, we're with you till the very end. And the very end, we look at this as regime change in Washington.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Do you not think we would have gone to war? Do you not think we would have been justified to include Russia in that? Of course we would. We have our president in Ukraine today, saying we are with you in this fight, and this fight is unlimited, and it will only end with regime change. What the hell do you think that means to Russia? And now, after we're sending all this, we actually think we have the right to tell China,
Starting point is 00:10:08 don't send any military aid to Russia. Who the hell do we think we are? We're on the wrong side. This is the beginning of real darkness. We are on the wrong side. And I'm not saying China and Russia are the right side. We should not be involved in this. this. This is, this is, this should terrify people. We're sending the fighter jets. You know it's coming.
Starting point is 00:10:42 And that's the final straw for Putin. We're telling China that, you know, we're going to hold you to a different standard. Meanwhile, Putin's cronies are threatening to nuke England. They said London will turn to dust and they will burn in hell and be destroyed in flames if we send any more weaponry, if they do. So what does the UK do? They issue a national warning message of world war. This is the first time they have done this since early in the Cold War. But Russians, who are kind of on side said they are serious about pointing missiles towards Great Britain. And so the UK, quote, has to be prepared for a nuclear war. No, they don't. No, they don't. We can stop this madness right now. I am not for Russia or Putin, but I am for this insanity to stop.
Starting point is 00:12:05 I don't know other than what I have told you long ago would happen. These progressives do the same thing. They take it up to a certain point and right at the moment of collapse, soon as there's no trust, what do they do? They have to have a war to be able to justify all of the massive changes that they're going to make to society. Because by the other side of the war, you won't really even care if you get your freedoms back. You just want the bloodshed to stop. That's their theories.
Starting point is 00:12:46 And these people are going to do it. These people are crazy enough to do it. I mean, we don't even know who blew up the pipeline? Who blew it up? If it wasn't us, who was it? I mean, the Western detectives went in. What was it? Sweden, Norway. They went in.
Starting point is 00:13:10 They said it wasn't Russia. German said it wasn't Russia. So who was it? China, India, Iran. They were only about five. countries that can do it. And on the list of five, only two of them are Axis. Only Russia and China. Explain that. So was it England that did it? And we didn't know anything about it? Who did it? Who did it? And why would you do it? These questions have got to be answered right now. We are marching toward war.
Starting point is 00:13:54 and I've never lived in a period of time ever where I have seen my country so detached from the people in the country. And they are just leading us into places none of us want to go. Did you want an oil crisis? Or did you want to remain, you know, the biggest producer of oil and have our gas prices low? Were you for that? Were you for that? Are you for this gas stove thing? No matter what they say, that is true.
Starting point is 00:14:28 They're going after natural gas. So do you want to get rid of natural gas as well as oil? Because I don't. Do you want all of these men wearing skirts? That was the latest story. A guy wearing a skirt, he's a teacher in kindergarten. Did you ask for this? Because I didn't.
Starting point is 00:14:51 I don't know Democrats that ask for this. Where are the Democrats that are against war? Did you ask for a war with Russia? Because I didn't. They're ignoring us and taking us down a path that they are designing. And we have got to stand up. You've got to call every congressman and every senator you know and say, the hell I will, I am not sending my child to war.
Starting point is 00:15:32 And I want you to stop sending my money to Ukraine. Oh, well, then we'll just empower Putin. You know what? Putin's really smart. Really smart. He may be crazy. He's definitely a killer, cold-blooded killer. But he's lasted this long.
Starting point is 00:15:55 He seems to have, you know, less syphilis than the last mad dictator that tried to take over the world. I don't want to give him any help. But I also don't think World War III will end well. Back in a minute with more. Left wants to cancel our founding fathers because they can. They can cancel. Did you vote for? Did you have the discussion?
Starting point is 00:16:28 Did you want the national arts? archives to put a warning on our Bill of Rights and our Declaration of Independence. Did you want that? Because I didn't want that. Well, they can cancel their ideas, our form of government. It's a coordinated trick. Unfortunately, it's working. Revisionist history. Pushed by the media, universities, even public schools. Our kids don't know any better because what they're being taught is just dates and names and little factoid. You want to give them the chance to resist bad ideas. You have to teach them the stories, the good ideas behind the great American experiment.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Once they learn the stories of what worked, what didn't work, why we did that, once you start getting your kids to ask the forbidden question, why, things will change.

So the Pentagon just again said just over the weekend, we had nothing to do with the Nord Stream.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Okay, okay. Then who did? Why is it nobody seems to be looking and giving us an answer? That's kind of a big deal, isn't it? Who blew it up? Who were the suspects? Who could have done it? Well, I've given you the list of five countries that could have done it.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Okay. Did they? Let's just take China and Russia. Did they? What's the proof? I'd like to know. Why aren't we looking for that? Because that's an act of war.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Isn't that kind of a big deal? If this were Russia, why wouldn't Germany and everybody else saying they blew up the pipeline to make sure that we couldn't get any gas? and have any any heat for the winter. They blew it up. Why aren't we hearing that? Why does nobody care about one of the biggest acts of sabotage? I guarantee you're going to find out who did it when it's convenient.

Starting point is 00:23:57 And Pat, we're just talking about how grateful we are that Biden is in charge and the people in our Pentagon, the people who brought us, you know, Afghanistan. I did such a good job there. Oh, yeah, they did. Such a great job. They did. And let's never forget. And so now they're they're maneuvering us into a new war with Russia.
Starting point is 00:24:23 And it feels as though we're going for China. too. It does. Yeah. Yeah. I'm a little disappointed that we've only given $200 billion to Ukraine so far. I think it should be at least double that, maybe triple. Do you? You don't think we should hit the trillion dollar mark? Okay. Are you supporting Vladimir Putin? No, I'm not. No, I am not a Russian agent. And so I'm going to say we should have, maybe it should be around $2 trillion. Anything less than $3 trillion is basically Russian propaganda. Yes. I mean, I, I, I, I, I'm not. I, I'm not. I, I, I'm not. I, I mean, I think we can get there now that we're paying, you know, for their social security. Yeah, we can't even pay for our own social security, which is going insolvent in nine years.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Yeah. And now we're paying for Ukraine. Yeah. That's a really good idea. I like that. I like that. I do like that. There is a story from the Australian broadcasting company.
Starting point is 00:25:17 What would war with China look like for Australia? And I think it's a four or five part series. and it's talking to all their military experts who say, and I quote, I don't think there, if I'm going to say quote, I don't think there is any credible chance that America with or without Australia's support could win a war with China. Oh, good, good, good, good. So we have that going for us.
Starting point is 00:25:45 And they just outline, you know, what is it going to mean to Australia? And they also say, this is why all of our ambassadors are everywhere. especially in China trying to diffuse any possible war with the United States in China. So it's good. It's good. Yeah, things are going really well. Really well. Yeah, I was really excited to see the president in Ukraine today.
Starting point is 00:26:10 I think that was great. Do you think that was just a whistle stop on his way to Palestine because he thought that's where the train crash was? And that's why he hasn't paid attention to it. Right. Yeah, he didn't go to Ohio. Instead, he went to Ukraine. Oh, if it was actually in Palestine, he'd be all over it.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Oh, yeah. We would be paying their pensions right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's amazing how we are going to be paying the pensions for the Ukrainians. And we don't seem to have anybody in the government. Oh, by the way, they changed their mind on Friday on helping FEMA's being sent to. Yeah, they changed. I wonder why that changed.
Starting point is 00:26:52 What about that changed? They announced it and everybody was like, excuse me? And so they changed their mind. Oh, you know what? We just found this little clause in here. It says we can go over and help. So that's big of them.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Nobody knew about that before, I'm sure. I didn't know about that. Did you know about it? It was in the back of the doctor. Doctrine. When have they ever helped like a local municipality before? It's never happened. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:19 I don't think. I'm just, I'm continually fascinated about. how this is the one time in American history where the media is citing with the company. I know. What is going on with that? I mean, no environmentalists yelling and screaming about this disaster. They don't care at all.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Can you believe these right-wingers think this is Chernobyl 2.0? All the testing from the company said it wasn't. Well, wait a minute. You never believe the company. What is happening with this? It's fascinating how this stuff happens. And why? Is it because Ohio's a red state?
Starting point is 00:27:51 Is that what it is? Or it has something to do with the railroad. I mean, one of the, this is speculation, is one of the reasons why FEMA said they wouldn't come in. Again, speculation is because the governor wouldn't declare something where it would be argued to protect. the railroad from any kind of lawsuits. So if he called them in and it was declared a national or yeah, national emergency, the railroad might be able to skirt its responsibility. So when he called them in but not under a national emergency,
Starting point is 00:28:44 that may have been the reason why FEMA said we can't go because you need I don't remember what it is, but DeWine would not give them the one piece they needed to be able to declare so it would wipe, possibly wipe the slate from the train company clean. Does that make sense? Yeah, it makes sense. Although, you know, I think about every oil spill that happens, right? Like, they are happy to bring in all this assistance. And it's not like, you know, the big oil company gets a pass. Right. I'm not sure if it's named a national emergency, though. Yeah. So, I mean, when the oil spill happened, remember under Obama, was that declared a national emergency? Off the top of my head, I don't know. Yeah. The other thing is that this was, this railroad was owned by Warren Fat Piece of Crab Buffett.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Maybe that has something to do with it. That's right. Is that his official name? Is that his middle name? Yeah, a lot of people didn't know that. Yeah, a lot of people didn't know that. I didn't know that at all. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:46 Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know that. Yeah, that's interesting. I didn't name him. You know, it's his parents' fault. Yeah. I mean, I don't understand why you would. A strange choice.
Starting point is 00:29:55 I'll strap your child with that, but they did. So what am I going to do about it? Here's the paragraph I was talking about. It is unknown what changed in the time since these remarks, but the governor did confirm he would preemptively file a document with FEMA to preserve our rights in case we need their assistance in the future. DeWine has not declared the crash aftermath to be a federal disaster, perhaps because of of concerns that doing that could shield the Norfolk Southern Railway from liability.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Let's say, for example, the railroad stops paying for whatever reason, Dwayne said, we're still going to go after the railroad. But we want to make sure that there will be support for the people if that support does, in fact, stop from the railroad. Yeah, I mean, you know, the wrangling here shows how complicated and idiotic our system is, right? Like, that this stuff has to be part of it. but like these people are going back and saying like hey we can still smell like it sounds like battery acid around here all the time and is that bad is that bad and like you know i don't i have this
Starting point is 00:30:58 whole thing where like i can't breathe and i've got this burning in my lungs and in my nose and in my throat and you know what that is climate change yeah it's climate change the new york times like what are these conspiracy theorists on the right talking about it's wait a minute like every every single time a company spills like six ounces of window cleaning fluid on their floor. We get the Aaron Brockovich treatment from the media, except this one time. This one time, they're just like, oh, we, with this company, wow, they're doing a great, look at all the testing numbers.
Starting point is 00:31:31 These people are lunatics. Where did this come from? It is such a weird thing. I kind of assigned it in my head. I think it's public private partnerships. Maybe. I had assigned it to maybe a defense of the Biden administration and their handling. of it where we're like oh well everyone's complaining about Chernobyl 2.0 because they don't like
Starting point is 00:31:52 Biden they don't like Buttigieg and in reality this is nothing they've tested everything everything's fine and I think that's what they're trying to push on the people but the people are living there they have nostrils like I don't know they also have rashes yeah that hurt a lot right but I've heard those are safe to scratch though now oh yeah you can go ahead and scratch your rash good did you see Cincinnati is cutting off the drinking water from the Ohio River. Just as a precaution, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:20 I mean, there's no reason that we would think that anything was happening there, but no big deal. Yeah. And the latest, and by the way, we want to hear from you at 727, wait, 888-7-27-B-E-C-K. I give out our phone number so rarely. 8-8-8-7-27-B-E-C. Today we're going to take your phone calls, and I'd love to hear from people who are experiencing this first day. did you see the railroad came out and said, uh,
Starting point is 00:32:50 yeah, when we asked people to sign that legal waiver, that, well, that was a mistake. We, who put that in there? We didn't know that was in there.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Does anybody believe that? I don't. No. Surprisingly. I mean, look, the automatic defense of a company, right,
Starting point is 00:33:10 is going to become and say, hey, get everyone to sign a waiver, you know, I mean, like, that's going to be automatic, whether they have,
Starting point is 00:33:16 real responsibility or not. Here, they obviously do have responsibility as they, you know, cop to at this point. I mean, they are putting a bunch of money into this and supposedly, you know, doing these things to repair the damage that they obviously are responsible for here. So, like, you could see them coming in there and just kind of default judgment of just like, hey, everyone signed this thing, but like, you can't deny it afterward. So you are, let's say you are the one of the governors involved in this. and they had to both sign off on setting it on fire.
Starting point is 00:33:49 And I've seen some stories now that people are like, they shouldn't have set it on fire. Well, the choice was we can roll the dice and hope that it doesn't explode. And if it does explode, it could send shrapnel for at least a mile in every direction. Or a controlled burn. A controlled burn. To me, there would be no. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 00:34:15 I would say controlled burn, wouldn't you? I mean, I don't know much about it, obviously. Yeah, I mean, yes, given those two options, sure. Yeah, sounds a lot better. You haven't, you haven't tried to control many toxic spills? No, I've been a few. A few, yeah. Yeah, I've done 17.
Starting point is 00:34:31 Okay, so you're much more experienced. I'm going controlled burn every time, which I've done in the past. Pete Buttigieg. How many controlled burns has he? Oh. Or is he? When he was mayor? South Bend?
Starting point is 00:34:43 He was mayor or South Bend. He didn't have any controlled burns. but he did put decorative lighting up on the bottom of a bridge. It was beautiful. And it was very, very decorative. If you kind of looked at the night sky, remember that. Some of the trees as it would flashing,
Starting point is 00:34:54 it kind of looked like a controlled burn, maybe. Right. And by the way, the only reason... If your eyes were blurry. Yeah. And I should point out the only reason I remember he put up that decorative lighting, obviously, wouldn't be a main topic
Starting point is 00:35:04 because it's not really a big accomplishment. But I do remember it because Joe Biden and his campaign pointed out what a joke Buttigieg was by pointing out his own. The only accomplishment was that he put up decorative lighting under a bridge in South Bend. I remember that ad. And, you know, it's strange that he hasn't put any lighting like underneath the wreckage.
Starting point is 00:35:27 You know what I mean? That'd be cool. To highlight at night, it would be really cool. With the rainbow colors in the water, it would be really pretty. You see JD Vance take the stick and pull it across? He takes a stick and puts it in a creek and pulls across and it just looks like an oil spill. everything comes up and I'm like JD and the answer there is don't do that with a stick. Right.
Starting point is 00:35:52 You're fine. That's step one. I mean, you know, all the water. It's all gone down to the bottom of the. Don't just drink from the top. What a dummy. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Really. Really stupid. I mean, it isn't step one just to go to all the people in this town and just be like, look, we've got rooms for you at Disneyland. We're going there right now. You can just go there. You can just stay there as long as you want. I mean, the fact that they're.
Starting point is 00:36:15 telling people to go back to these homes when they're still smelling the stuff, at least get them out of the area if they want to go, right? Yeah, yeah. Can I tell you something? We are looking at an American war zone. Okay. And honestly, how many people are in that town? I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:36:33 It's very small. Look at it. Is it even 5,000? No, I don't even think it's that big. 4,718. That was a pretty good guess. That was an incredible guess. Are you an expert on East Palestine?
Starting point is 00:36:45 4,000, how many? 4,718. As of 2021, it could be 5,000 exactly right now. He went over. He went over. Oh, that's right. Yes. You can't go over.
Starting point is 00:36:57 Anyway. So the yodling climber just fell off the cliff. Wouldn't it be a better use of our money just to buy all of their land, their property and everything else? That would be a great deal. Instead of sending it over to Ukraine? Yep. Now, a lot of people may not choose to do that.
Starting point is 00:37:15 A lot of times this happens, but you offer it. Possibility, right? Offering the buyout. And at least say, hey, the next three months are on us and we'll figure out the rest a little bit later. And that's what a lot of the people want. They won't buy my place so I can get out of here. Because they've destroyed the town. How are you going to sell this house eventually?
Starting point is 00:37:33 You're not. You're not. No. What are the Zillow values of these homes? Hey, I've got some property backs up to the back fence of three mile island. Oh, okay. And that would be much better. Much better.
Starting point is 00:37:44 It would. All right. The following is sponsored by pre-born. About 3,000 children will die at the hands of abortion today in the United States. Today, our nation has tipped so far over the cliff that wholesale murder is backpage news. 150 of those babies out of the 3,000, 150 of those babies are going to be spared today because of the work of the ministry of pre-born. if you are somebody who has donated any money at all to preborn, you're part of this life-saving group. They provide free ultrasounds to moms considering abortion, and they don't stop there. They also provide love, support, counseling, even clothing, and food and everything for up to two years free of charge.
Starting point is 00:38:31 If you donate today, maybe that number will be 151 today, maybe 152, maybe more. Ultrasound is $28. $140 helps to rescue five babies' lives. Abortion does not stop, so we can't stop. Go to preborn.com slash Beck. Make a donation. You could just dial pound 250, say the keyword baby, and make a donation. Or you can go to preborn.com slash back.
Starting point is 00:38:57 That's preborn.com slash back pound 250 keyword baby sponsored by preborn. Join the conversation. 8887-7-27 back the Glenn-back program today I really want to hear from you I want to clear out the the day and let you speak tell me what you're feeling what you're thinking tell me what you think about what's going on with war and Russia Ukraine the president is over there today We just were, we said Friday that we're bailing out their unions and bailing out all of their, you know, lifetime benefits, basically social security. Gee, I mean, we should do that to our social security. And also what's happening in Palestine, Ohio.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Why is the press reacting this way? Why is the New York Times suddenly not concerned about the environmental damage? My guess is public-private partnership. This is the way it works. Something this train company is doing is important for some other reason. So let's not. I mean, after all, according to their ESG score, they are more environmentally friendly than Tesla.
Starting point is 00:40:44 Mm-hmm. Help me figure that one out. Our number is 888-7-27-B-E-C-K-T-A-P-2-7-BEC. The Glenn Beck Program. You're about to hear the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. The Glenn Back Program. Hey, some really good news. The president is meeting with Zelensky, the Ukrainian president.
Starting point is 00:41:56 in Ukraine today. It was a surprise. And he brought gifts. Another half a billion dollars worth of aid to Ukraine. Is that great? I only bring bottles of wine. Right. Well, what do you get?
Starting point is 00:42:12 A country. You know what I mean? So we've got that going for us. They couldn't make it to Ohio, but they'll make it to the other disaster site, that one in Ukraine. We'll get to that. And your phone calls. I really want to hear from you today, and the number is 8 at 8-8-7-27-B-E-C-K.
Starting point is 00:42:31 We go there in 60 seconds. All right, there's an idea. Next time you go to the gun range, don't load any ammunition into your gun. Now just point the barrel at your target and say bang loudly. Then you can guess how close you might have gone to the bullseye. Be honest. So that's one solution to the problem. Expensive ammo going there.
Starting point is 00:42:53 It's probably not the best solution, you know, either. spending all that money or just saying, bang, this is where the Mantis X comes in. This is something that the Marines are using. It is really amazing. It is high-tech, easy to use. It's used now widely by the military, and it will help you improve your shooting quickly. It's not just targets. In fact, you don't even have a target. You can aim it wherever you want. What it's doing is it's measuring how steady your aim is, and then the pull of the trigger, how smooth that is, And then do you go down, do you pull to the left or to the right? And it shows you after each fire, what you're doing.
Starting point is 00:43:36 I think it's like 95% of the shooters improve within the first 20 minutes, and you're not using any ammunition. And you do really improve quickly. I do it. I had my score at 79, I think. And within 20 minutes, I was up to about an 87, which is a pretty good show. Got, Mantis X, Mantis X, go to mantisX.com right now. That's mantisX.com.
Starting point is 00:44:06 All right. Let's see. Let's go to Ron in Oklahoma. Hello, Ron. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Hi, good morning. So I'll get right to the point with regards to what's happening in Palestine, Ohio. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:24 If you follow the money and look up Norfolk, Southern, Railway from their own website, the top investors are Vanguard, Black Rock, State Street, and JP Morgan. Wow. All ESG monsters. Exactly. So with our, with regard to what our government's response is, it's pretty clear as to what's going on with that.
Starting point is 00:44:49 So I just wanted to. Thank you. Let you all know. And hey, this is more example of, uh, public, private partner. in my opinion. Yeah, mine too. I can't guarantee that's what's happening. That's what I suspected, Ron.
Starting point is 00:45:03 Thank you for the call. But that is the problem when government gets into bed. They have lots of money, these private entities that have invested now in the railway. They are in bed with the government and they stand to lose a lot of money. So what is the government going to do? You don't want to hurt these guys. because they are enabling you. Sometimes the government needs the help of the corporations,
Starting point is 00:45:34 and sometimes the corporations need the help from the government. It'd be a lot of money to lose. Private, public partnerships. It's deadly. It is crony capitalism to the nth degree. Let me go to Joyette. Hello, Joyette, in Ohio. Hey.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Hi. Hi. Hey, Glenn, thanks so much. We really appreciate you. I've been listening to you for decades. Oh, well, thank you. I want to highlight the fact that I live in Columbus, Ohio. I moved from California, which I don't know, probably not the best move.
Starting point is 00:46:07 But anyways, now we're out of California to any place is a good move. Yeah, exactly. Right. So I'm in Columbus. I'm about 175, 176 miles away from this at the center. And that's exactly what it is. Okay. So, I mean, I've seen the videos.
Starting point is 00:46:26 They've got the, they rossil up the water, and you're seeing the chemical. Now, anybody can look. I've worked for companies where you have an FDS data sheet. So I went ahead and looked online. They've got the SDS data sheets on all of these chemicals. And if anybody take a look at that, this stuff is horrible. And they're just treating it like it's, you know, oh, whatever. I mean, my older sister goes, where's Red Cross?
Starting point is 00:46:50 Where's FEMA? Where are they? Why have they done this? So my question is, we've got the Ohio River. It's supporting water for not just this state, but multiple states. Everybody don't. Yeah, it's infiltrating into our system. And so that's my thing.
Starting point is 00:47:09 Also, you know, Netflix put out a movie, and it highlighted a chemical derailment, and it was, I guess it was in East Palestine. So they used the extras, right, from the area, from Ohio. So what's going on? Now, my thing is, is what do you want us to do? What do you want us to do as listeners to barrage? What the senator? What do you want us to do, Glenn?
Starting point is 00:47:36 We need some strong. Gosh, I mean, I mean. What do we do? On this one, the first thing you need to do is stay safe. I mean, I am not. I don't know the chemicals and what the water is doing. I just don't trust anybody at this point. So I would drink bottled water as much as you can.
Starting point is 00:47:57 And I would keep abreast on what is going on. I know we've been talking to people, and I can't give you an update on this. I'm hoping that I'll get one by the end of the show today. So I can talk about this directly, if not maybe tomorrow. But we've been trying to get an independent person to go test the water and the air. And there's some interesting things we're running into. And I'll tell you more about that. But I don't trust what's being tested.
Starting point is 00:48:28 And I don't trust the people giving the test. Again, it's a public private partnership with the United States government. And I just don't trust them. I will tell you that you should stay very aware and support those who are questioning everything. Support J.D. Vant. Support the people who are questioning. and I would be a much more apt to send your complaints directly to your local and state governments. Federal government, you can still support people like J.D. Vance.
Starting point is 00:49:07 You can support your congressmen, assuming that they're doing the right thing. And you can call Congress and say, you know, I live downriver. I live in Kentucky. What is this going to do to our water? You know, but I don't, I don't have an answer federally. I would say that you need to really stand on the throats of all of the people locally. And if they're not acting in a consistent way, and I mean consistent with their own interests, you know, of having healthy drinking water and air, you might want to do some digging into why that might be. Let me go to John in North Carolina.
Starting point is 00:49:49 Hello, John. Hello, Ms. Beck. I appreciate you to take my call. Sure. When you were talking about sending money to Ukraine for their pensions and whatnot, I'm 76 years old. I work a 40-hour job because I can't afford to live on my Social Security. And I'm outraged to think that money goes to Ukraine instead of staying here, my tax money.
Starting point is 00:50:18 I couldn't agree with you more, John. When I heard we're sending another half a billion dollars over to Ukraine just in more military support. And then can we play the clip of what Joe Biden said about supporting their pension funds? And to deliver much need of humanitarian assistance as well as food, water, medicine, shelter, and other aid to Ukraine is displaced by Russians' war and provide aid for those seeking refuge in other countries from Ukraine. It's also going to help schools and hospitals open. It's going to allow pensions and social support to be paid to the Ukrainian people so they have something, something in their pocket. Stop. I can't, I mean, John, I, we have all got to stand up against what's going on with Ukraine. Look, I am not for Putin by any stretch of the imagination.
Starting point is 00:51:16 The guy is a bloodthirsty killer. I get it. He is no friend of the West. However, Ukraine is wildly corrupt. We already don't know what happened to millions of our dollars. We keep funding it. This was the center of corruption. It is the most corrupt state in the world.
Starting point is 00:51:40 And it was the center of the Biden-Hunter Biden scandals. where is this money going to? Second of all, and this is probably more important, I don't want a war with Russia. I don't want Russia to win. I don't want Russia to expand. I don't want any of that. But I don't want a third war, a third world war.
Starting point is 00:52:08 And that's exactly what we're headed towards. And you can find that from the headlines of any, of our allies. In Australia, they're talking about what does this mean? A war with the U.S. and China. Now, why would you be worried about that? Well, not just the balloons over the weekend. We said if you send any aid, any military aid at all to Russia, that's a line for us.
Starting point is 00:52:36 You're not to do it. Excuse me? Who are we to say that to them when we're doing it? after all the balloon stuff, I don't, can we stop flexing our muscles, please? We're not in the shape we used to be. This president has decimated our military. We are behind 25% in recruiting.
Starting point is 00:53:00 Behind 25%. And that's not including the attrition that's coming over the next year. People who are just going to opt out and say, I'm not signing back up. Plus, we've diminished. our stockpile of ammunition, of guns, of tanks, of everything, because we're just sending them our stuff. When are we going to replenish that? And if we are in a war, what are we going to fight with? I guess we could get into a public-private partnership with some of these industries,
Starting point is 00:53:33 and we could just retool some of our industries to make weapons of war. Wouldn't that be great? We are headed towards war. The money has got to. stop going to Ukraine. We cannot send or approve the sending of any fighters over to Ukraine. Where's Congress on this? Maybe they just think the American people are okay with it because we just keep taking it, go along. When we're together, we all talk and we're like, this is crazy. This is crazy. And we'll have the discussion, well, do you want Putin to win? No, I don't want Putin to win. This is really bad. I don't want to be in this fight at all. I don't want to be in it. What are we doing besides selling our own country down the river and impoverishing all of us?
Starting point is 00:54:32 I mean, just look at the impoverishment that this government has caused in the last two and a half years. Why are we having so much trouble with inflation? because we spent way too much money on COVID and all of the programs. And then if that's the problem, what do you do? Will you stop spending? We're not stopping spending. We're spending even more. We just keep spending.
Starting point is 00:55:02 And it's not on anything like the trained arraignment in Ohio. No, no, no. It's to rebuild schools and houses in Ukraine. And why is it that you're not? you have Black Rock and J.P. Morgan, all these people, why is it that they are being thanked by the Ukrainian president? Have you ever heard that before? We want to thank these giant corporations for helping us and helping us rebuild. Of course they're helping you rebuild. They're probably going to use our tax dollars funneled through you to rebuild to rebuild things
Starting point is 00:55:44 that they profit from. So we're helping enrich those people by sending our tax dollars over there. This is so corrupt and so dirty. It's got to stop. Back in a minute. Underappreciated fact, trust has always been an underappreciated fact. I think here in America, especially. I mean, we used to trust each other.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Do we? Do we still? I think we do when it comes to our neighbors. but that is becoming more and more dicey. You don't know. Pretty much any business that wants to stay in business has to have the trust of the people. And that trust comes from being who you say you are, being the expert that you say you are, following through your word is your bond. You don't really need a contract. It's more of a cowboy contract with a handshake.
Starting point is 00:56:43 Now, when it comes to selling your house, you need to know you can trust that person's experience and that person. This is where real estate agents, I trust.com, comes in. This is my company, and we vet all of these real estate agents to make sure that they have the track record, and they also have the business practices that you should be looking for, that I would be looking for, and that they're people that you can trust. They are listeners of the program, and they kind of have the same values. Real Estate Agents.I Trust.com. It's a referral service that is of no cost to you.
Starting point is 00:57:18 Real Estateagents. itrust.com. 10 seconds, station ID. Shandy in Kansas. Welcome to the Glenbeck program. Hi, Glenn. Thanks for taking my call. I just wanted to kind of connect a few dots.
Starting point is 00:57:42 I'm in, of course, Kansas, the center of the state or the nation. We are going through a land grab with energy companies, aka Nextera, aka Black Rock and Klaus Schwab. And so they are literally steamrolling every county. Right now, there's five active counties that are being essentially taken, you know, by county commissioners. And so this all is connected with Palestine and then also, if you think about the whales on the East Coast, it's all connected. So it's... In what way?
Starting point is 00:58:22 how do you how do you mean what are they buying they're buying the land the the counties or what's what's happening essentially they're buying it right they're giving sign-on bonuses for solar they're giving annual payments for the the the commercial wind turbines and so for people who are you know crazy enough to to do that with their land but you've got farmers who need help you have families who are thinking, oh, well, how am I going to take care of my kids when I pass away? And so that is what's happening here in the state of Kansas. And it is the present day, David and Goliath, because we just also had our governor sign on Panasonic that's coming into Kansas City as well.
Starting point is 00:59:13 And so, I mean, that's a $4 billion project that next era, you know, the governor, they're not going to let that not happen. And so you have solar, you have wind. They're also talking about hydrogen. All of these by 2030 by 2050 are going to power this Panasonic because of green energy. And so it's troubling because what do you do? I mean, I've been to my second planning committee in my life. and I run the Facebook page and we have 960 people on our Facebook page within four weeks.
Starting point is 00:59:59 And so what do we do? How do we get there? You know, we're working with our town. You keep organizing. You keep being informed. You keep those people going to those planning meetings and you get on to the committee boards. You've got to become a commissioner on those planning meetings. boards. Most people, the last thing they want to do is do that. I've been to planning,
Starting point is 01:00:27 oh my gosh, planning and zoning is just, and usually the people that are in it are the ones that want to control everybody's lives and plan everybody's future. So you need to get on those boards. And good for you on looking for the dots. This is why when we wrote the book on ESG, the Great Reset, I was a little dismayed because I thought there's no way out of this. This is so far planned to get out of it is going to take a Herculane effort. But that Herculian effort is happening. And it's happening because of people like you. I want to, how much time do I have here, Sarah? I have one minute. So I'm going to have to come back and give you a list of what is happening in each state. There is a huge list where ESG is
Starting point is 01:01:19 moving. There's some states where just the E is moving. Some states like Florida, Ronda Santos has just put in some of the strongest language on ESG, and it will break that up. You'll also have to find your power plants. Do you have any coal fire power plants that are being shut down and sold. Look for that. Are they being shut down and sold? If two, to whom? And I'll give you more on that coming up in the next couple of weeks,
Starting point is 01:02:01 but just start paying attention to your coal-fired power plants. Not just being shut down, but what is the plan for that? Are they being sold? More in a second. The Glenn Back program. Out of the ashes of the tragedy of 9-11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been honoring America's heroes and doing good in the world ever since. If you haven't heard of it, they are an organization that provides mortgage-free smart homes to families of fallen or severely injured veterans and first responders.
Starting point is 01:02:51 This year alone, they'll be taking care of hundreds of Gold Star families and fallen first responder families and providing them with homes. It was about unfortunately 500 last year. It looks like it's going to be a lot more this year. A Memorial Day, all the brave men and women lost since 9-11 in the war on terror, had their names read aloud in Tunnel to Tower ceremony at our nation's capital. And through the Tunnel to Tower's 9-11 Institute, they are educating kids in kindergarten through the 12th grade about 9-11. We should never forget and continue to do good.

Starting point is 01:04:17 help. Let me give you a couple of quick facts here that you should know about. There are states currently working
Starting point is 01:04:31 on anti-ESG legislation, and these are the states that we are monitoring that are currently working seriously on anti-
Starting point is 01:04:41 ESG legislation, either state contract, state pensions, or fair access. Some of them working on all of them. Fair access is really important to ask to make sure it's in. That gives you the opportunity to not have to wait for your attorney general. You can sue if they are using anything other than a credit score to give you credit or if they're looking at any ESG kind of stuff to give you a score of any kind. Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Missouri, Arizona, Minnesota, Mississippi, Virginia,
Starting point is 01:05:21 South Carolina, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Texas, Idaho, New Hampshire, Florida, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. All of these are the ones that are doing something. So get involved at your state level. Now, fair access. This is the legislation that. empowers you to actually fight ESG. And what it is is they have to disclose to you that they are using ESG.
Starting point is 01:05:52 So there's no guesswork. Right now they don't have to disclose that. So you're turned down for a loan. You don't know why. If they're using anything other than your financial records to make a decision, you deserve to know that. So you can A, not use that. organization, that bank or whatever, ever again, tell your friends that that's what they do,
Starting point is 01:06:18 and sue them. If you don't have fair access, you can't sue them. And that is really important. So far, there are only three states that are fighting with this, and that is Nebraska, North Dakota, and New Hampshire. They've had their hearings on the fair access bills, two just last week. Bankers are adamantly opposed to this and they are very well organized. You need to stand up for fair access.
Starting point is 01:06:53 Florida is probably the best. There are other states that are at some point with a fair access bill and you need to get involved. Tennessee, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, Iowa, Arkansas, South Carolina, Kansas and Montana. Also, there is an ESG, an anti-ESG bill in Indiana that could use some help. It's Indiana HB-108, and it relates to state pension funds not being invested in ESG. This bill is much more limited in scope compared to the fair access type legislation. This only protects state pension funds, still a step in the right direction.
Starting point is 01:07:40 And it's similar to what they passed in West Virginia, but they're working with the treasurer in Indiana on this bill right now. It'd be very, very helpful if anybody in Indiana would contact their state legislator and their governor and let them know they want to see Indiana bill HB-108 pass. Let me go to Matthew in Tennessee. Hello, Matthew. Welcome. Hey, Glenn. Thanks for taking my call this morning.
Starting point is 01:08:09 I'm out here driving a big rig coming in from Atlanta, Georgia, back to Tennessee. I just want to share what I see out traveling all over the country. I travel everywhere from Miami, Florida, up to Delaware. Every single place I travel in America is running on a short staff. Nobody's working.
Starting point is 01:08:29 I've been driving a big rig for 12 years out here. And before COVID, you'd get the morning rush when people are going to work, people are taking their kids to school and stuff, and then it would be dead in the mornings, and then you get a little bit of rush at lunch. And then the same thing in the evening. Ever since COVID, the roads are packed all day.
Starting point is 01:08:48 I'm in Atlanta. You can be Atlanta on a Wednesday at 9.30 in the morning, and it's rush hour. Nobody's working. Everywhere I go, nobody's working. And the places that I travel, I talk to all these people, and they can't even get applicants. You know, where I work, I haul for my plant. and we can't even get applicants for high-paying jobs.
Starting point is 01:09:11 I know. And, you know, where does it go from here? I'm 36, and I've been working since I was 15. I'm a truck driver, and I'm old yards. And, you know, I've got a great life. But everywhere I travel, nobody's willing to work. You go out to eat, you short staff, you know, everywhere I travel to. I just got a fuel at Pilot.
Starting point is 01:09:30 When you go in, there's two people working behind the counter and playing on their cell phones, and I need a receipt. And they say, hey, there's a self-checkout open. And it's like work ethics went out the window and nobody's willing to work. Well, I tell you. Go from here by the time I'm my parents' age. Well, it's going to go way before then. This is what you get when you have big government handouts, but it's more than that.
Starting point is 01:09:54 This, again, is something that I talked about 10 years ago. And when I was kind of standing alone saying, I don't agree with universal basic income, but we have to discuss it because that's what's coming. Because of the tech revolution, more and more people are going to find themselves unemployed. And Yval Harari, who is a guy who everybody in the elite class just loves, calls them useless people. What are we going to do with all of these useless people? There's a lot of useless people right now. There's going to be more in the words of the elites.
Starting point is 01:10:36 we cannot lose our work ethic. We have to be people that think differently and encourage our kids and everybody else to work. But it's an uphill battle because society is not putting any stock into that now. Derek and Colorado, welcome to the Glenn Beck program. How you doing, Glenn? Good. Hey, so I just wanted to go back on your comments you made earlier about Ukraine and how we're given another half a billion dollars to them. And we as the people that they care about so much have no right to even vote on this.
Starting point is 01:11:19 Right. And it's just giving it away, giving it away. And it's like, I guarantee over 80% of Americans would say no. I agree too. It is not our fight. and the fact that we're weaponizing them too. What is that telling Russia? What's it telling about a Chinese spy balloon flying over all of our states looking at our military bases,
Starting point is 01:11:40 getting intel and what we don't have and what we're getting rid of? The world is preparing for war. The American people are asleep. The world is preparing for war. And it's a war not just with Russia, but it is becoming increasingly a war with China as well. That's a war. no one walks away from unharmed. That's a war we do not walk away from in any kind of leadership role. And if you read the papers, this is why you pay for me with your time. We read those papers.
Starting point is 01:12:18 We look at the news all around the world. And everyone in every continent is preparing for war. and we're asleep at the switch and the reason why I think is because the Democrats have changed Congress so much to where there's really no debate. Do you remember the lead up to the war in Iraq, even the Afghanistan war? Every war I've ever seen, you have the debates on the floor and they call each other names and you're not patriotic and you're patriotic and blah, blah, blah, you're a war monger. All of that used to happen. That's not happening now. You're not going to Congress and talking about all of this stuff. It's just being done by the president and the administration.
Starting point is 01:13:07 That's a dictatorship. That's why you must call your congressman and senator and saying, I will not send my family to war. I will not support this. I will not send my children to fight a war with Russia. and Ukraine and China. I won't do it. Not this war.
Starting point is 01:13:34 You got to call them and tell them you demand a debate on the floor of the house at least for no other money spent on this. So that's a good step because I think a lot of the time we've been talking about this has been what we shouldn't do. And I wonder what we should do.
Starting point is 01:13:50 What we should do is pretty complicated, right? It's not easy, I think. No, especially now. Because what would you do here? What would I do? You would say, okay, push for a debate. That's a good step. I would say to the Ukraine, congratulations, you've got enough money from the United States and enough support.
Starting point is 01:14:07 You are going to have to stand on your own now. You're going to have to do it. You've got to wear the big boy pants. This is not our fight. We support you, but this is not our fight. So what does that look like? And I would also say, we are not for regime change. I mean, if Putin falls, Putin falls.
Starting point is 01:14:25 but that's not the end game here. Yeah, we can say that. Like, you know, as a, you're a commentator, you say, what I would like Vladimir Putin to not be at the head of Russia? Although I will say, I mean, there's a big profile in the New York Times today about some of the people who are pushing him from the hawkish side. And if one of them get in control, we might be happy with Putin. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:47 So it's not even clear. But like, you know, Putin is Putin. He's not good. We don't like him. Right. That doesn't mean that we should be publicly called. calling for regime change. And he's an evil we know.
Starting point is 01:14:58 Right. And there's value to that. Correct. But okay, play this out, though. You say you don't want to give money to Ukraine weapons to Ukraine anymore, which I can, I sympathize with significantly here. But okay, let's say we stop doing that. Let's say we ramp it down over the next, I don't know, a couple months, right?
Starting point is 01:15:16 Goes away. They've got zero dollars coming in from the United States. Right. Probably a lot of other countries, you know, follow our lead on that, right? So what happens? I mean, that's Ukraine loses, right? Probably Russia takes Ukraine. Probably.
Starting point is 01:15:32 Probably, right? And I don't even mean just the eastern regions. No, probably goes in. The United States withdraws. Probably they win. Russia. I mean, that's a big thing. Obviously terrible for Ukraine.
Starting point is 01:15:45 But let's not even think about you, the future for Ukraine for a second here. Think about it from our perspective. So now you have Russia who I think can, somewhat legitimately say they defeated the United States in a war
Starting point is 01:16:00 right? Well, the Taliban have said that so we're not breaking new ground here. No, that's true. And so they now are pressed up
Starting point is 01:16:09 against the borders of NATO. Do we think that Putin just stops there? Is that our hope? They just stop that? That would be our hope. But he hasn't acted against a nation
Starting point is 01:16:18 of NATO. Right. Now, if he goes after NATO, then we have treaties. but I would like to open up NATO as well. I mean, we've provided a lot of defense for Europe, and it has been very important to do so. And I am not for, you know, getting rid of NATO, you know, just wholesale.
Starting point is 01:16:39 However, the world is changing and the United States is changing. And Joe Biden is acting like it's 1944. And in his mind, it might be 1944. He is acting like we have all of the. the power, all of the clout, and all of the money. We don't. Couldn't you describe what you're talking about here is just retreat? I mean, we're letting them have Ukraine with no fight pushback.
Starting point is 01:17:05 Again, I'm pushing back on you here to explore these boundaries because they're difficult to define. But like, if your answer here is they can have Ukraine and maybe we shouldn't really have NATO or maybe we should reconsider where NATO is and those lines are and how much we should be defending these countries. Where does Putin stop if this is our defense? Well, I wouldn't say that we were rethinking about NATO as we were doing this.
Starting point is 01:17:31 You wouldn't publicly announce it, but you'd say that you're saying that that's something that should be considered. Yeah, I wouldn't have publicly announced any of this crap. No, I'm with you on that. I mean, none of this should have been publicly announced. Is that an American tank? You know, that's about how, it should have been confusing to the enemy if they saw one. Our president
Starting point is 01:17:47 can't be seen in Ohio. to help people that are victims, but he'll go over and pledge that we're going to pay for all of their social programs over in Ukraine. He's there today.
Starting point is 01:18:02 In Ukraine, in Kiev. What the hell is that? I'm sorry. I don't care about our good name in the world anymore because we don't have a good name. We don't have a good name anymore. So people don't trust us. We have got to.
Starting point is 01:18:21 to pull back and protect our country and our rights, or we are just going to just deflate everything. We're just bleeding out all over the table. Should some of our approach here be related to trying to force Ukrainian and Russian hands into some sort of peaceful solution? Yes, it should be. We don't, because Ukraine says we're not going to negotiate at all, even about Crimea. And like, I understand that from their perspective, but if they want our money, they may need to do those things. That's probably the way I would end it. Look, you guys get together and you work this out.
Starting point is 01:19:05 Otherwise, I'm pulling, I'm pulling the money and Russia, we're still going to blockage you, but you guys have to work this out. Putin would be incentivized if the United States were bluffing or, you know, or, um, and saying we were going to stay there, we're going to do it, but we're going to give this a chance to work out, and we'll honestly broker a deal that's going to be good-ish for both sides. That's the only way to get out of it at this point. Car trouble, car trouble, car trouble, car trouble, car trouble. When you get into your car and something goes off,
