Starting point is 00:00:00 If you believe, as I do, that the Old Testament is incredibly important in our lives, then you're probably as frustrated as I've been at seeing how it's being lost, how it's being forgotten, how it's misunderstood. Hollywood has made films based on the Old Testament stories before, but they always change things and they make them virtually unrecognizable. A lot of times just throwing out the meaning entirely or completely, missing the point. My friend, the amazing screenwriter
Starting point is 00:00:33 Andrew Clavin, is working to change that. Through a group called CIO, CIO films, he's creating the Covenant, a multi-season TV series adaptation of the stories of the Old Testament. The Covenant will use biblical and
Starting point is 00:00:49 historical text to lead viewers through the stories of Patriarchs. If you want to invest in this project, do it at C.O. TV. dot com slash back pack great for Glenn today he's
Starting point is 00:01:40 just finishing up his Mercury 1 speech from Saturday night so we think he'll be done any minute now is that the longest speech of the history of mankind
Starting point is 00:01:53 it was excellent but long 20 minutes that's what it was supposed 20 minute 20 minutes how long end up being?
Starting point is 00:02:07 17 hours, something like that. I think it was 17 hours and 20 minutes. So it was really close. Anyway, we got the harassment of Kirsten Cinema that continues. And it's just unbelievable that this is allowed to continue. We'll have that and lots more coming up. All right. Kirsten Cinema.
Starting point is 00:02:33 Seems like Kirsten is a female, if I'm not mistaken. Is that important anymore? I guess not because we're supposed to not. Point of personal. privilege. Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. Please do not use gendered language to address everyone. That's a good point. Yeah. So, okay. So is it okay to mention the fact that they're harassing a woman? It used to be in the old days that, I don't know, we protected women, that stalking women and following them into a bathroom would be frowned upon. And that just isn't the case anymore.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Today they're doing the Boston Marathon. And these people from the activists of Living United for Change in Arizona, Lucia, is apparently planning to bird dog cinema at the Boston Marathon. When is enough enough? There's a coalition known as the Green New Deal Network. I guess they're the ones that are going to be at the Boston Marathon today. It was Lucha who was who was at the, who followed her into the bathroom. It just, it's unconscionable to me.
Starting point is 00:03:52 And it seems to be accepted now that, I mean, you've got the president of the United States who said it's part of the process. What do you mean it's part of the process? Following women, harassing women, going into the bathroom, filming them, yelling at them, yelling at them. As they're in the stall, and by the way, the woman who was filming was standing in front of a Kirsten Cinema's stall, then a guy came in to the bathroom as well. Hmm. How can this be okay? It's not okay. It is not okay.
Starting point is 00:04:35 And yet it continues. And today, I guess they're going to, what they call bird dog her. my producer Keith is here with me today. Do you have any idea what bird dogging is? You're going to make me Google this earlier in the show? Yeah. Let's see what bird dogging, because I guess they're just going to run with her,
Starting point is 00:04:53 follow her. I bet. You know they're not going to make it the entire way. They're probably just going to run for like 100 yards and then hand it off to the next adjutant. Yeah. Let's see here. Bird dogging.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Let's see. Yeah, it just says, search out or pursue with dogged determination, which means since they're not in shape enough to run this marathon, there's probably going to be a hundred or so of the activists, just each taking one section of the race. But yeah. And this is to get her to change her mind
Starting point is 00:05:26 on the $3.5 trillion build back better act. She doesn't want to spend $3.5 trillion. even though we know that's all free to most American people. It's free to most of us. It's zero dollars. They have the unmitigated gall to claim that $3.5 trillion really means zero dollars
Starting point is 00:05:59 coming out of the U.S. budget. That's common core. That's how we got there. Common core math? Common core math. Wow. That's a $3.5 trillion, same as zero. It's the same thing.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Yep. We've got them saying over and over and over that it is $0. Do we have that? Yeah, when they couldn't convince us, convince cinema and mansion to spend this kind of money, they changed their argument and now it doesn't cost anything. Now it's $0. The reconciliation package would cost $0. And best of all, the cost of these bills in terms of adding to the deficit is zero.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Zero. Zero. Zero. As I said to the president and I heard him say, this is a zero dollar bill because it's all going to be paid for with taxes on the wealthiest corporations and the wealthiest individuals. But at the end of the day, Chris, I think what's important for people to understand is that this piece of legislation costs zero. We're going to pay for it all. It's not about a dollar amount. The dollar amount is the president said is zero. This bill will be paid for. This is a tax cut. Some have expressed publicly that they're not comfortable with a 3.5, even though zero costs zero dollars. But in fact, the bill itself will not cost $3.5 trillion in the sense that it will be entirely or at least partly paid for. So the actual cost in terms of deficits will be smaller than that, perhaps even zero, although I think that's unlikely. Do you believe that President Biden's reconciliation package proposal, the one with the $3.5 trillion,
Starting point is 00:07:30 in total spending will cost zero and be fully paid for. Yes, I do. We talk about price tags. She does. It is zero. Zero is what it is. We're paying. We're going to pay for everything we spend.
Starting point is 00:07:47 So it's not, you know, people understandably, well, you know, it started off at $6 trillion. Now it's $3.5 trillion. Now it's going to be $2.9. It's going to be zero. So are you now admitting that the plan? is not cost zero or is it less than zero? Well, let's not dumb this down for the American public here. What we're talking about is how much the top line investments are, which are all paid for,
Starting point is 00:08:14 so therefore it costs zero. No matter what the cost or size of the top line investments are, we have ways to pay for it. And if it's a $2 trillion spending plan net net, you'd cost $2 trillion. No, no. Well, I'm not necessarily sure about that. Zero. Zero. Zero.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero cost zero dollars. It's going to be zero. So therefore it costs zero. Zero. Incredible.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Zero. Zero. What am I doing here? I don't know. What are you doing? It's going to cost zero dollars. So why do we need that trillion dollar coin? Because if it's zero.
Starting point is 00:08:53 It's a good question. That's a really good question. Huh. That's just to eliminate the spending limit because we don't want to ever be. limited in our spending at all, ever. So I think that has to do with more of, yeah, we can get away with this zero dollar thing, but later on we might not get away with that. And so we need that trillion dollar coin in the bank so that we can just keep spending.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Well, as we've discussed on your show that comes on before this one here, Pat Gray unleashed, you know, why are we stopping at one, one trillion dollar coin? Right. I think we should do 100. 100 trillion coins for a hundred trillion dollars in debt. Got some breathing room there for future, you know, rainy day fund. Because think about it, we're already 28.5 trillion in debt.
Starting point is 00:09:41 This $3 trillion spending, if you don't believe the zero dollars of debt, if you don't believe that, then it's going to be about $31,32 trillion in debt. And you want some room to work with. And I want some room to work with. So this. gives us 68 trillion or so to work with. I'll leave you. So that should get us through to January.
Starting point is 00:10:07 If we're lucky. If we're lucky. If we really tighten our belts, maybe we could make it to January with an extra 68 trillion in debt. But the thing is, you don't even have to worry about this America because Jeff Bezos paying the whole bill. Is that right?
Starting point is 00:10:24 Bill Gates, Donald Trump, those guys. Those are the ones who, Although Donald Trump, he's not even on the list of the richest 400 Americans anymore. He actually is the first I know of since maybe Thomas Jefferson to lose money while he was in office. Well, that's going to happen when you don't take a salary for doing the job as president of the United States, right? Which nobody ever talked about. Nobody mentioned. But yeah, the rich guys, they're going to pay for the whole burden.
Starting point is 00:10:57 so you don't need to worry about it at all. Well, now I'm on board. Yeah. I wasn't sold until you said it like that. You know, the companies that we all hate, the mean big companies that make a lot of money and the mean owners of those mean companies, they're the ones who are going to foot the bill for this thing.
Starting point is 00:11:15 So we don't have to worry about it at all. So now we can get Warren Buffett to start paying his fair share. Yeah. Finally pay a little more than his secretary does. It's about time. Wouldn't that be nice? I'd like to know who, who his secretary's tax person is,
Starting point is 00:11:30 if she is paying more than her boss because something's radically wrong there. Yeah, somebody's taking you to the bank. It really are. Somebody's embezzling money from Warren Buffett's secretary. And it's wrong. That is wrong. I think it should stop. And that's not talked about enough either.
Starting point is 00:11:52 It really isn't. Really isn't. So here we are in the middle. of this thing and I don't know if they're going to get Kirsten Cinema and Bill Manchin or Joe Manchin to cave on this or not. I don't know. They've been holding out pretty well so far. Yeah. I mean, in Manchin, even to the point where he was calling out Chuck Schumer for ripping the GOP. So I mean, this, I don't know where this spine came from for Joe Manchin, but I don't either because he was, we had no confidence in him. He always at all. Every single time.
Starting point is 00:12:24 And for some reason, he got some gumption this time, and he seems to be sticking to his guns. Doesn't it feel good to finally see Democrats having to convince their own membership to vote in lockstep? It's always the other way. I love this unique experience that we're witnessing here. And the longer this drags on, the longer this draws out as we hopefully run out the clock on complete power for Democrats. DC. I love it. We'll just see if it, we'll see if it holds up.
Starting point is 00:12:59 But so far, it has. And you're right. It is great to see the Democrats having to worry about this, because it's usually, it's usually Republicans with Lisa Murkowski and all the other fringe people in the party. And now Mitt Romney. Yeah. That are. Yeah, I'm going to vote for impeachment because it's the right thing to do.
Starting point is 00:13:24 He shouldn't have colluded with the Russians. You know, doing stupid believing their rhetoric and falling into the Democrat trap. And I hate seeing that time and again with the Republicans. Yeah. And usually, like, the Republicans will have, you know, 54, 55 seats. And they'll still not have the majority when push comes to shove for a vote like this. Here, it's a razor thin margin for the Democrats. And they've got no room for error.
Starting point is 00:13:52 And this is fun to see. And apparently there are some Democrats in the House that are also not on board. And we're not hearing about that at all. But for the first time over the weekend, I started hearing that there are some House Democrats who are really opposed to the $3 trillion budget as well. And the Democrats just keep saying it's two people in the way. There's two people. No, there's two people in the Senate, but there's more than that if you include the House. and you just may not be able to get this one jammed down our throats.
Starting point is 00:14:28 And it was even in that montage where Biden is referring to the $6 trillion plan. Remember Bernie wanted this at $6 trillion. And then they got it down to $3.5 trillion. But now they're having to make this case that it's not a cent at all. All that stuff we told you about the $3.5 trillion, the $6 trillion. Nah, it was a joke. It's really just zero. So we'll see.
Starting point is 00:14:51 We'll see. I'd like this. Triple-8-727, B-E-C-K. It's Pat Ray for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. All right. Let me tell you about blinds.com. Oh, nice. If you haven't checked out blinds.com yet,

Starting point is 00:16:30 10 seconds, station ID. Just a quick little warning that they're throwing out here for us. And there's all kinds of these warnings due to shortages of some sort. In just about every industry right now, they're talking about Christmas toys. They're talking about Christmas meals. and now Christmas tree shortages may be on the way for us this holiday season. Christmas tree shortages?
Starting point is 00:17:14 Well, yeah, we only have three trillion trees on the planet. I mean, how many do you think we have to go around here? But the supply chain problem, it's global and it's hampering everything. I mean, we are not short on things that are being manufactured. Like, for instance, trees. There's plenty of trees on the planet, right?
Starting point is 00:17:41 We just can't get them to you because the supply chain is all screwed up. And that's partly because of COVID-19. And it's partly because of a labor shortage. And so it's, you know, just Joe Biden's America that is working so well. he was going to restore everything that was great in America to us, wasn't he? I thought he was going to restore the respect we had. He was going to restore the continuity that we've always enjoyed. Everything was going to be better once Joe Biden got into office.
Starting point is 00:18:18 And that's why 81 million people voted for him. Literally, everything costs more. Everything costs more. Everything's harder to get. everything's gone to hell. I mean, really, name the thing that is better since Joe Biden took over in January. Can you name a single thing?
Starting point is 00:18:37 Third worldification of America is underway. And this is only Christmas number one of four of this administration. Yeah, right. I don't like putting in perspective. They don't know what they're doing. They do not know what they're doing. Or do they?
Starting point is 00:18:53 Or do they? Or are they, is this, part of the plan. I mean, we were told that this, I guess we should expect this because what was it Michelle said? And Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices. We're going to have to change our conversation. Conversation change. We're going to have to change our traditions, our history. We're going to have to move into a different place. And we've done that. We've moved into a different place. We've gone from a good place to a bad place. So congratulations. The fundamental transformation of America as being finished by the Biden administration.
Starting point is 00:19:33 And as far as these Christmas trees, Costco and all retailers will be impacted by the reduced tree supply this season. We anticipate that most retailers that typically sell both live and artificial trees will continue to do so, although they will have limited supply compared to past years. Even for the artificial trees? Probably more so for those, right? because those are coming from overseas, I would guess. Wow.
Starting point is 00:20:01 The American Christmas Tree Association credited the significantly reduced supply to extreme weather in the Pacific Northwest and Midwest, as well as massive supply chain blockage created by the pandemic. Why don't we just all go celebrate off the coast of California where all those ships are backed up because that's where all of our Christmas presents and artificial trees are. We'll just all meet there. So, yeah, we'll just find the container.
Starting point is 00:20:26 that has all the trees in it. We'll set up the trees, decorate them with the stuff that are in the other containers. Yep, that's boat 376B, I believe, for that. And then we'll find the toys and put them under the tree that we just decorated on the ships. I didn't catch what ship the toys are on, but... Yeah, not good.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Not good at all. This should be interesting. And, you know, maybe it's being overblown. that's what I hope it is. I hope it's exaggerated, you know, the warning, the fear. Because usually that's the case. You hear this kind of stuff in the past,
Starting point is 00:21:05 you think, ah, it didn't really happen. This time I'm afraid it's really going to happen. I mean, you're seeing the images on your show. We've shown the images of all the ships out at sea, whether it's from up above, like drone footage, or on the little screen there. Especially like the Los Angeles Harbor, Man, at last count, it's probably more than this now, but it was 90 gigantic ships all jammed in there together.
Starting point is 00:21:33 It was so bad that you couldn't even get around this basically blockade in the Los Angeles Harbor. Yeah, some companies are now just hiring their own charter ships to move this stuff. I'm trying to find out what our current count is on how many ships are out there. Well, it's a lot. It's quite a few. It's a lot. Yeah. And we've never seen anything like this.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Triple-8-727, B-E-C-K, much more where this came from. Pack Ray for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program. Also, Southwest Airlines had a little surprise over the weekend. We'll tell you about that coming up. Let me tell you about real estate agents. I trust.com. If you're looking to buy or you're looking to sell. these are the realtors that you need to talk to.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Because when you're buying a home or selling a home, maybe you're doing both because you're relocating. Chances are pretty good that if I say the words, the best around, you remember someone delivering a crane kick to someone else's face to win a contest. Some kid who used karate, some karate kid. But here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:23:13 When I say the best around, You should know that I'm talking about the people that Glenn's company works with at real estate agents I trust. Glenn started this company a number of years ago with Robert, his brother, and as a free service to you. So what they do is pair you up with the absolute best agents in your area. And these are agents that can advise you on whether or not you should repaint or replace countertops or all of those kinds of things. because they're successful. They know what they're doing. Go to real estate agents.itrust.com.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Be sure to check out. Pat Gray Unleashed, we make the apocalypse fun every morning from 7 to 9 a.m. Eastern right here on Blaze TV. Glenn's a little under the weather today. Pat Gray. By producer Keith. Welcome. Great to have you with us.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Now, what am I Giods? Pat Gray Giod is this civil asset forfeiture thing. Yeah, you don't like that. I don't like it. And none of us as Americans should like it. And we shouldn't tolerate it. There are, for some reason, there's law enforcement people, officers who are just removing, who are just stealing money from upstanding Americans who happen to have large sums of money on them.
Starting point is 00:24:50 There's nothing wrong with having large sums of money on you. You can travel with cash if you want to. At least you're supposed to be able to. But for some reason, if you're pulled over and you've got, you know, $10,000 or $80,000 or $100,000 on you, and I don't know why you have that much cash. It's none of my business. Neither is it the business of any police officer or FBI agent.
Starting point is 00:25:18 It's none of their business. unless, you know, you've done something wrong and there's serious evidence to that. And then even when that evidence doesn't present itself, the money's still gone. Right. I mean, in most cases, in almost all of these civil affid forfeiture cases, the person who's had the money taken from them isn't even charged with a crime. And yet they lose their money. Well, you can petition the government to get it back.
Starting point is 00:25:46 First of all, you shouldn't have to do that. Secondly, they're not getting their money back usually, even when they petitioned the government and say, look, I've done nothing wrong. I have not been charged with a crime. And yet you have tens of thousands of dollars that you took from me. Give it back. The FBI raided that place in Los Angeles, that vault. It was a safe deposit vault. And they claimed that there was, I don't know, some sort of drug paraphernalia being deposited in there.
Starting point is 00:26:17 In one box. in one box, but they took all 80. There were 80 boxes there, and they took everything from everybody. So all kinds of Americans, just some of them had their life savings in there. And the FBI just helped themselves to it and took it all. Well, then it turned out there wasn't even a problem with the one deposit box. They couldn't even prove anything was wrong there. So there was no reason for any of it, and yet they took millions and millions of dollars worth of cash and value.
Starting point is 00:26:48 from people, and they still haven't gotten them back, even though they petitioned the government. Un-American. It's un-American, it's unconstitutional. And this has been happening all over the country, billions of dollars, billions and billions of dollars. I think it was, was it $2 billion last year alone or something to that effect? It's so wrong, and it just keeps happening. A federal agent just seized $115,000 from a man at the first. Raleigh Airport, the agent said he's going to launch a federal investigation of money laundering
Starting point is 00:27:24 and drug activity. Wow. Well, then he offers the man a way out. Surrender your cash, and there'll be no investigation. Do we actually have the video of that? Yeah, news report. Yep. Check this out.
Starting point is 00:27:40 The agent told Lion, he wasn't leaving with his money. I think there's probably so legitimate to you and two-year claims, but based on some of these findings I'm going to feed you in money under an administrative seat with the homeless of security. You feel about 60 days
Starting point is 00:28:00 to come up with the receipts. 60 days to come up with the receipts. Wow. It's something that it's feel like there's something more here. You got a last minute. To provide legitimacy for your money. Pause it for a second.
Starting point is 00:28:24 I don't have to provide legitimacy for my money. Unless you're charging me with a crime here. The proof, and even if you are, the proof is on you, not me. You've got to prove that I did something wrong. I don't have to prove that I did something right. Yeah, the agent says, I just got a feeling there's something more here. So until you can prove. Yeah, I'm sorry, it takes more than that.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Until you can prove and show me all your receipts. No, you prove that I did something wrong. This is backwards. They're just turning justice upside down in this country. Yeah, the most recent national numbers I can find is that federal authority seized over $4 billion in 2013 from Americans. Texas alone just a few years ago seized more than $50 million through civil asset forfeiture. Gosh. So this guy offers the man a way out by, you know, you surrender your cash.
Starting point is 00:29:21 won't investigate you. Oh, okay. I just let you take $115,000 from me. Yeah. And then you won't investigate me. And I forget this gentleman with the money. He, like we always hear, he had a legitimate reason to be traveling with that kind of money off to buy some equipment or something. They shouldn't have to say that.
Starting point is 00:29:41 Exactly. He shouldn't have to say that. If I just want to take $115,000 in spending money with me, and I've got that kind of money, I should just be able to do it. And it's none of your business why I have it. Maybe I'm going to gamble it all. It's none of your business.
Starting point is 00:30:04 As long as I'm not doing anything illegal. Or maybe you did win that gambling too. Maybe, right, right. Or maybe I just spend a lot of money at Buckees. Or 7-Eleven. That's understandable. You know? Maybe, maybe, uh,
Starting point is 00:30:21 maybe I'm going to buy, there was a guy who was going to buy a brand new truck that was $80,000 or something, and he took it with him. And I forget the deal was with his bank account. It was just easier for him to pay cash. And he was going to do that. But again, that's none of your business. But let's go back to your Buckees visit because they have an entire wall, several walls actually filled with every kind of flavor of beef turkey you can imagine. I can totally see you drop $115,000.
Starting point is 00:30:47 You could easily drop $150,000 at Buckees in one stop. easily. I'm not arguing with that point. They've got the really good sandwiches. Oh, they've got those little brisket sandwiches. They're potato chips, but they're warm. Yeah. You know, and they're under the heat lamp.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Uh-huh. Really good. We could do some damage at Buckees. A lot of different kind of drinks. Oh, I could do serious damage at Buckees with $115,000. And we haven't even gotten to the T-shirt and the little tote bags that they sell there. That's right. It's a good place.
Starting point is 00:31:20 we've only been to one section of Buckees so far and we've spent $115,000 That's a good point And if people don't recognize the reference Here in Texas we have these They're for lack of a better description They're gas stations They're convenience stores that are palaces
Starting point is 00:31:35 Yeah That stretch on for acres That are like bigger than a Walmart Well almost About the size of You know what? A neighborhood Walmart How about that? Yeah
Starting point is 00:31:46 And it's a convenience store Right No, it's a playground. It's awesome. Every time we see when we stop, whether we need to or not, because they're just, they're fun. It's just fun in there. You've got to get your picture made with the beaver up front too.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Right. But you shouldn't have to justify why you have money with you when you're an American citizen in good standing and you're not doing anything wrong and there's no reason for them to take this kind of money. It is so bizarre that they can just do this. It used to be. You had to be charged with something. Oh, that's old time.
Starting point is 00:32:21 That's old time. Come on. That's when we had rule of law in this country. What are you talking about? Those days don't come back. I'm afraid you're absolutely correct with that assessment. I mean, I hope they do, but it looks like they're not going to. It's definitely fading in our rearview mirror like so many other things in this country.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Yeah. And, you know, at the Raleigh Airport, it's not like they have the excuse, well, one of our drug dogs hit. on that cash. I doubt that happened at the airport, maybe. But what is even, what was the impetus to even look into this, to even find the $115,000 and then take it from him? If you got it in your bag and your bag goes through the machine
Starting point is 00:33:09 and they see all the cash, is that a reason for them to go through your bag and take the money? I don't understand. Is this 2021 America you're referring to? Yeah, it must be. Must be fine in 2021 America. Yeah. I don't know why, but it apparently is. But this is one of your Pat Gray jihads that you're constantly railing on on your show.
Starting point is 00:33:32 And it's just, it's one of so many ways that our freedoms where people, I cannot take this argument of how have you lost any of your freedoms? Well, yeah. Here's one example. Oh my gosh. Wow. I can start with that one there. Well, and I remember. asking that question of people who were talking about the Patriot Act.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Remember those days? I don't like lose my freedom to this Patriot. Oh, come on. What freedom have you lost the Patriot Act? Which was full hearty of me to ask because it did. It did cut into our freedoms. What they started doing with the Patriot Act was using it against American people instead of terrorists. And again, that was also for drugs.
Starting point is 00:34:19 It was also the war on drugs that they decided to use a Patriot Act to find, you know, drugs, pushers, and abusers. And that's how they brought down a lot of drug dealers. Yeah. In the 20 years since we've had the Patriot Act, far in a way, it has been used to target Americans more than international terrorists. Something like 88 or 90% of the time. That was kind of the number in my head as well. Yeah. It's a huge number, huge number.
Starting point is 00:34:51 And it, again, we've just allowed it to kind of slide down that hill. And, you know, we talk about the slippery slope. There's no slope anymore. We're down at the bottom of the hill now. Yeah, now we've got to push it back up the hill. I guess now we're okay with being told you have to get a vaccine in order to stay employed. I mean, that's where we've slid to. That's fine, by the way.
Starting point is 00:35:16 That's cool. Yeah, don't worry about that. Yeah, that's fine. I'm not going to be fine with that. Really? Yeah. You had mentioned Southwest Airlines. That was a helpful pushback yesterday.
Starting point is 00:35:28 Yeah, they, I mean, a bunch of employees called in sick because they don't want to cave into this, you've got to get your vaccine or you can't have a job. Well, okay, then they had a giant sick out. And they had to cancel 800 flights from Southwest Airlines. out of the 4,000, nearly half. Yeah, almost half. That's how you do it, right? I mean, you've heard the saying follow the money, right?
Starting point is 00:35:54 You follow the money and right down to who's making these vaccines and these boosters. Well, hit them where it counts and that's in the wallet and that's what these employees did. And so I'm grateful for that pushback by the Southwest employees. AAA 727 BECK. Now's the time for you to reduce your monthly bills and start saving more money. and I need you to know that means 100%. God only knows where things are going to go a year from now, six months from now, or even tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:36:27 I mean, things are going at an incredible rate right now. We're at a point where home equity levels are red hot and mortgage rates are still competitively low. And you're seeing much lower rates tied to things like personal loans and credit cards, which is why you need to take a minute and really consult your budget. Better yet, you need to take a moment and let up. American financing consulted. What bills can be paid down to save significant money on interest?
Starting point is 00:36:55 What solutions are available to make a real difference in your finances? These are questions that American financing can answer for you. And here's the most important thing. You can trust them. They're a mortgage lender, but they're not going to recommend something like a refinance unless it's going to help you out financially. No tricks, no gimmicks. Just financial help.

Pat Grafer Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, Triple-A-727B-E-C-K. Let's go to Monty in Indiana. Hey, Monty, you're on the Glenn Beck program. Hey, I appreciate taking the call.
Starting point is 00:37:49 So this thing about the supply chain, there's this lie that's being told for a long, long time, probably for over 20 years that there's a shortage of truck drivers. And the problem is not getting enough drivers. It's the fleets can't keep these guys. They have a turn, as we call it. Some of the turnover rates on these big carriers are over 100%. Wow. And the FMCSA, yeah, the FMCSA, according to their government,
Starting point is 00:38:18 there's over 400,000 new CDL licenses issued every year. And we've heard numbers like 50,000, there's a number of 50,000 a shortage right now or whatever. Even if you only take half of those new CDLs that are issued, because say half of those are going to drive school buses and chauffeur limousines or whatever, there's still 200,000. So this thing about the driver shortage,
Starting point is 00:38:45 that the ATA has pushed this narrative for so long, and the problem is that these fleets can't, they can't, they get a new guy in there, and he stays maybe a year, maybe some of them, not even a year. So then they get another new guy, they train the guy, six weeks, whatever. They put him out on the road, and, you know, they've told him so many stories about how much money he's going to make, how much, you know, time he's going to have at home and all this,
Starting point is 00:39:10 and none of that comes to fruition. So the guys leave, they either go to another carrier, or they leave the industry altogether. And, you know, as far as like this backup of supplies at the ports, the ports, we have, I have a friend of mine that owns a company in Texas and Houston, and they haul in and out of the port regularly. And it is nothing for their guys to go in there and set for hours on end, waiting on the container to be put on a chassis that they have.
Starting point is 00:39:35 The same thing, you can go to any port. I don't care if it's on the west coast or the east coast. I know guys from both places, and the same thing is to, told, the amount of waiting time that we spend waiting for these guys to do their job, it's not on the truckers, it's the trust me, I've been in this business 43 years. I've seen a lot of things and a lot of stuff come and go, but it is not on the truckers. I can tell you that there are, I mean, there might be an isolated shortage someplace here, there where, due to COVID protocol, say you heard the thing about we had a shortage of gasoline tanker
Starting point is 00:40:09 drivers because a lot of those guys are like a local type job. you know, they come in and they work a 12-hour shift or whatever. But there's a possibility of some of that's going on. But you're definitely running into a problem at the ports, right? Right, right. Yeah. Yeah. And that's why all those ships are backed up in Los Angeles.
Starting point is 00:40:32 I don't know. I haven't saying the same thing in Houston, which is what, the second or third largest port in America? but Los Angeles has 90 ships or so completely backed up and apparently that's because they don't have anybody to unload the ships AAA 727 B-E-C-K
Starting point is 00:40:51 Pat Grafer Glenn on the Glenn Beck program I have so much we have so much more free time these days Glenn certainly does now that he doesn't have to stand completely still so that his dog Uno will eat and my dog won't eat her food without rough greens sprinkled on top of it.
Starting point is 00:41:19 So that makes a big difference. Now, Glenn used to have to stand motionless. And then Uno might eat his food. But now, when you sprinkle the rough greens on top of it, Uno gobbles it down. And he's much more active again, as is my dog. She's very puppy-like again, happier and healthier. You can get a free bag of Rough Greens to try out for your dog for just a couple of days.
Starting point is 00:41:46 It's free. All you have to pay is shipping. Just go to Roughgreens.com slash back. That's RUFF Greens.com slash back or 833 Glenn 33. Give it a try today. Got some good news about COVID infection rates. We'll get to that as well as your phone calls coming up. Triple-8-77-B-E-C-K.
Starting point is 00:42:49 Officials are urging people to get vascular. vaccinated, of course, as more and more people are traveling again, I guess. But the big picture for COVID-19 in the United States is looking a little bit brighter. You wouldn't know that to listen to the news reports. You wouldn't know that to listen to the Biden administration. You would think that it's the worst it's ever been. New infections and hospitalizations are down. And they're down by a lot, actually.
Starting point is 00:43:21 with 56% more than 56% of the U.S. population fully vaccinated. The number of people who are getting their first shot is trailing behind those who are getting their booster shots. Wow. Already more than 7 million fully vaccinated Americans have received boosters. So they've already got their third shot. And then pretty soon we'll be hearing about people who've just gotten their fourth shot. And then after that, we'll hear about the fifth. And then every year, you'll have to get a booster shot.
Starting point is 00:43:55 That's my guess. I think this is going to be just like the flu. And maybe at the same time, you'll get another vaccination booster shot and you'll get your flu shot at the same time. And will companies enforce that kind of mandate too? Yes. Like, when's the last time you've had your COVID shot? You've got to be current on your booster shots. They're just going to keep lapping me.
Starting point is 00:44:19 No. Fortunately, you're working at a play. where they're not doing that, at least for now. The leadership here is. Yeah, leadership here has been great. So grateful for it. Tyler has been awesome. And unfortunately, there's so many people listening to this show right now who don't have bosses like that with that mindset. And that's terrifying. It is.
Starting point is 00:44:39 It is because how do you decide? Okay, am I going to continue to feed my family? Or do I have to go and get a shot? I just don't want. Well, why don't you want it? there's nothing wrong with it. It'll protect you. Again, aren't you protected?
Starting point is 00:44:59 You're protected, right? Well, yeah. Then why do I have to get protected? I have to be protected from you. Well, that's what your shot is for, right? And that's what your second shot was for. And that's what your third shot was for. That's how we were sold it, right?
Starting point is 00:45:19 Yes. Well, we were sold it just the first go-around. I mean, all this stuff, like the booster thing, that's a new thing. That's, that's brand. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the U.S. average 95,917 new cases a day over the week ending on Friday. Now, that sounds like a lot, and it is. But that's a 44% decline from the peak average in mid-September.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Yeah, I got September 13th. Wow. I'm looking at it. We've been on a steady downward slope ever since then. So what was the number then? Does it say? Oh gosh, my cursor. Hang on.
Starting point is 00:45:56 Because, I mean, 44%, so that's almost double. You would have been at 150 or 160. 175. 175 was the 7-day average back on September 13th. 175,000 a day. To what you said now. Now it's 95,917. That's a big drop.
Starting point is 00:46:15 The national number of people fighting the virus in hospitals. Is a 35% drop from last month? So things are definitely trending in the right direction. Now, I guess there's still pockets of increases, but nationwide, it looks good. The Northeast is really going through a rough time right now. The Northeast? What? I thought that things were going great in the Northeast.
Starting point is 00:46:42 Everybody's vaccinated. The vaccine compliant states. Yeah. Yeah, they got the vaccine passport. So you can't go anywhere without the vaccine passport. Well, see what happened. Because a lot of people have not gotten vaccinated and they're just running rampant, just spreading it everywhere. Bastards.
Starting point is 00:46:58 Right? That's what it is. Oh, my gosh. Killers. Murderers. Yeah. Have we put them in jail yet? Are we jailing people who are running around naked without their vaccination?
Starting point is 00:47:10 Yeah. And don't be blaming the southern states and people from Texas that aren't getting vaccinated as far as the northeast goes. We're not visiting you. Okay. We have no reason to go up there. want to see that from the country. And we don't have passports, so it can't be from us. So it's not us. They'll probably try to tell you it is us because they're trying to pit us against each other. Yeah. But it's not us. All right. Let's go to Bill in Florida. Hey, Bill. You're on the Glenn Beck program.
Starting point is 00:47:40 Hey, how are you guys doing this morning? I'm doing good. Long time caller, first time listener. I got to thinking, you should not be surprised if the government is finally telling the truth that this trillion dollar bill is going to cost nothing. Because absolutely everything the government does cost nothing. To them. Right. Because the taxpayers are paying for it all. Right. Yeah. And the interesting thing about that, telling the truth. That is very true. Yeah. That's true. Appreciate it. Thanks, Bill. Unfortunately, what they really mean is that it's free to all taxpayers except the terrible evil rich ones who haven't been pulling their fair share. They're the only ones who are going to pay.
Starting point is 00:48:34 The only ones who are going to pay are the rich corporations and the rich corporation owners. Those are the ones who are going to pay for this. Just the evil rich ones. Just the evil rich people. Which, of course, you can't pay for it just from the richest Americans. You can't. There's no way you're going to pay a three and a half trillion dollar debt with just the upper 1% of people. There's no way. You can't do it. I think you forgot the earlier portion of the program where we've already discussed the solution, Pat, and that was printing the trillion dollar coins.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Yes. Then you don't have to tax anybody. Right, right. You just make the coins. They're just not talking about doing enough of these coins. Because why would you stop at one? If one's good. 100 way better
Starting point is 00:49:21 100 trillion dollars coins wouldn't that put us in easy street for a really long time yeah breathing room it got breathing room I want to see the trillion dollar coin on a commercial on TV
Starting point is 00:49:34 so we can order it from home just order your own trillion dollar coin the US mint trillion dollar coin double eagle each individually fired and minted with your own personalized
Starting point is 00:49:46 certification of authenticity and it'll say right there on the coin one trillion yeah and you could put it on your mantel i want that that would be cool oh and why not it's it's meaningless it's backed by nothing it's backed by air and pixie dust so uh you might as well just send every american a trillion dollar coin that's literally what this government is running on these days it's pixie dust well said yes uh tony in colorado hi you're on the glenbeck program Hey, good morning. Thank you for letting me speak up. I'd like to ask why we don't just face down and take out the Goliath in the room when we talk about the supply change shortages have been for a long, long time, controlled by unions and the movement of goods, controlled and moved out of those dogs, is controlled by unions, the strongest unions in the United States and in Europe, and the biggest contributors to the Democratic.
Starting point is 00:50:54 Democratic Party in the left. Why don't we call them out for what they are? Thank you. I don't know, but that's a good thought. Thanks, Tony. Yeah, I mean, unions have been in control of the docs, what, since the 20s, 30s, maybe before that, the 1880s-ish. But I'm sure the unions are not to blame for this. I'm sure if that came up,
Starting point is 00:51:27 you'd have the administration jumping in and defending them at every turn because you can't have that. You can't have the unions being blamed for this. That would just be wrong. And some of the unions are still upset about some of these mandates, right? So you've got to play nice with them for right now.
Starting point is 00:51:44 The unions are upset about the mandates. Yeah. Well, nice job on the 1920s for... Is it 1920s? Doc unions. Yeah. Okay. Nice job.
Starting point is 00:51:54 By the way, Joe Biden's vaccine mandate doesn't even exist, apparently. Wow. Now, he just said it, and they sent out a press release, and then everybody just thought, okay, well, we got this federal mandate from this executive order by Joe Biden. Not so much. According to a couple of Republicans, Ted Cruz being one, and who was the other one? Oh, it was Thomas Massey. Thomas Massey are saying that they're,
Starting point is 00:52:23 isn't even a vaccine mandate in existence. It was a press release. He didn't actually do an executive order. He just made the announcement and then they sent out the press release and then everybody panicked and said, oh my gosh. How many companies have changed their policy based on that tyrannical speech? Many, many companies have. And it's a mirage. Biden's so-called vaccine mandate doesn't exist, at least not yet.
Starting point is 00:52:52 so far all we have is his press conference and other such made for media huff puffing according to this article. So no such rule, even claiming to be legally binding has been issued yet. Wow. That's why nearly two dozen Republican attorneys general have now publicly voiced their opposition to the clearly unconstitutional and illegal mandate. It's why they haven't filed suit against it though yet. Because there's no mandate to bring in. into court. Right. Now when there is a mandate, then of course, these states will sue, but there isn't one yet. Yeah. So right now, if you get terminated for not taking the shot, then if you
Starting point is 00:53:37 have a gripe, a legal gripe with your company for forcing that upon you, your company can't lean on some sort of federal statute or mandate because one does not exist. Good times. What's a weird time we're in. Isn't it? It's just unbelievable. AAA 900. Oh, it's AAA 727 B-E-C-K. Let's go to John in Tennessee.
Starting point is 00:54:03 John, hi, you're on the Glymbeck program with Pack Ray. Hi, 25-year truck driver. There's more trucks on the road today than there ever has been. manufacturing went to an as-needed component requirement. So the trucks are delivering them as needed within three or four days of being put into the product, whether it's grocery, food, you know, automating, everything. So they use in the trucks as a short-term storage. There is no on-the-shelf storage for these manufacturers anymore.
Starting point is 00:54:36 The other thing, too, is during COVID and everything, everybody went to buy it online. So all that stuff has to be moving. by trucks before it can get to, you know, from point A to point B. Right. So, I mean, there's, if you guys know, you drive around in Texas, you see, you know, one truck after another, after another going through Dallas and Fort Worth. Yeah. It's just, it's not, it's not enough drivers.
Starting point is 00:54:58 It's just that we've changed the way we do business. So the trucks, the trucks deliver it. And then where does it, where does it wind up? I was in Grapevine, Texas here about a month ago, and I sat for four days with a loaded truck to offload. They took product off by truck that they needed and left the rest of it on the truck until they needed it. I sat there four days. You sat there for four days at what? Four days?
Starting point is 00:55:29 At a grocery store? No, it was at a clothing supply building. Okay. We delivered it to the building. They deliver it to the store. Wow. Four days, and they only took the product off as they needed it. So these, there's a lot of trucks out there with product in them,
Starting point is 00:55:48 but they're not, you know, because of the mass ordering online and stuff, they can't get the product off the trucks fast enough to the mail rooms and stuff to deliver it out. Well, John, I have a quick question for you. Whether you're sitting at a warehouse in Grapevine, Texas, or you're sitting at the port in Los Angeles, are you getting paid for your time of sitting there, or is it by load? I get paid by the mile. So my end is basically by the mile.
Starting point is 00:56:15 So when I'm sitting somewhere, I think you don't get paid. Yeah. Right. Isn't that screwing up your company too? Isn't that kind of messing up their delivery schedule? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:26 Absolutely. It's the whole system. And sometimes I do get detention pay. Sometimes not. It just depends on who you're driving for and who you're delivering for. That's crazy. Wow. So when people are sitting there for four days and they're not getting paid, I'm not sure I'd continue to sit there.
Starting point is 00:56:49 But you do? Just start pulling it out my hands. Well, yeah. If you own your own trailer, what are you going to do? You can't leave your trailer there. Yeah. And the company, the company refused, they refused to cross-doc it. You know, so I get paid a little bit each day for being there this time.
Starting point is 00:57:07 But it's not as much as I make when I'm moving. Yeah. That's unbelievable. It's abusive. Appreciate it. Thanks, John. What a crazy situation. And never thought we'd be in a situation like this in the United States of America. AAA 727 BECK. A more pack rate for Glenn coming up.
Starting point is 00:57:31 You know, the sooner you switch to Patriot Mobile, the sooner you can start paying less. And I mean way less than what you're paying right now with your major mobile company. And, you know, we're always telling you, about those major mobile companies that they donate a portion of the bill that you pay them. So your money is going to say, Planned Parenthood. Patriot Mobile doesn't do that. In fact, they donate to conservative causes.
Starting point is 00:57:59 Wouldn't you rather get behind something like that? Patriot Mobile is the nation's only Christian mobile company. And it's on all the same towers as all the major carriers, so you get the same great service. Although, at half the cost, Patriot Mobile has a four. customizable plans for any family. They donate a portion of your bill to conservative causes. Now, that doesn't increase your bill.
Starting point is 00:58:22 They just take a portion of what they make and they donate it to great causes that you believe in. Unlike the big mobile companies who are donating to things, again, like Planned Parenthood. Make this switch today. Go to patriotmobile.com slash Beck. Or call 972 Patriot.

Merriam Webster's dictionary changed the definition of anti-vaxxer. Because, you know, just saying that people who didn't want the vaccine wasn't enough. It's also now, that's also a description for people, anyone who opposes regulations mandating the vaccine. So even if you don't want the government to regulate and to mandate something that makes you an anti-vaxxer. Remember earlier in the program when we were talking about losing freedoms? Yeah. Where are you losing freedoms?
Starting point is 00:59:49 I don't know the fact that I can't choose what I put inside my body or not. Yeah. my body my choice well you don't hear that refrain much anymore do you you don't my body my choice and you would think this would apply to it way more because I'm not talking about
Starting point is 01:00:05 another body inside of mine I'm not talking of course I never would be but for women you're not talking about the other body inside of your body you're talking about just your body wait a minute did you just make a reference that men can't be pregnant
Starting point is 01:00:21 I did I actually did yeah Oh, my. Yeah. I don't know that I can sit here much more. I know. I'm sorry. All hell is going to break loose now. But absolutely. What happened to personal autonomy? How is that not a thing anymore? Well, I guess you don't need a job. Yeah. It's ridiculous. It's assonite. They don't really believe these things. They don't really believe my body, my choice. What they really believe is, let me take this inconvenience from me. I don't want it. I don't want it. And I'm going to use it as a birth control method. Well, okay. Well, why don't you just say that then? My body, my choice. Because they're just, they're not consistent. They're hypocrites.
Starting point is 01:01:03 Let's go to Dan in Maine. Hey, Dan, you're on the Glen Beck program. Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. Uh-huh. Hey, I heard you guys talking about the Northeast being hit hard. Well, I'm from Maine, and this morning, the news came out that we're on a seven-day downhill average, like 15 or 20 cases per day.
Starting point is 01:01:27 So, I mean, we're as far northeast as you can get. And we're on a downhill average just like everybody else. Wow. Is it New York then? Maybe it's New York. Well, that's not anyway. So. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:42 All right. Appreciate it. Thanks a lot, Dan. So Maine on the downward slide. Remember, it was the hotbed. And they were also the most vaccinated and just. looking at Vermont real quick. They started to trend down, but for the past, my gosh, a week now, they've been trending up again. But remember, over 70% vacced, fully vaccinated
Starting point is 01:02:05 they're the most vaccinated percentage-wise in the country, right? Yeah. Still, 70% of Vermonters are fully vaccinated, I believe. But again, like, and it's only 56% nationwide. Right. We discussed earlier how there's so many people from Texas and Mississippi and all these great unvacced states, Wyoming that are just, we just keep going up to Vermont and spreading the disease. It's an invasion. It's a COVID-19 invasion is what it is from the south. Yeah. Got to do something about it.
Starting point is 01:02:37 You know what they should do is build a wall to keep Texans out of New York because you know that's what. Wait, so build the wall up there? Yeah, build the wall up there. Now build the wall around us in Texas. Let's just cut to the chase. Keep them down here. Let's do that.
Starting point is 01:02:50 That might happen sometime soon. I know. I mean, you keep hearing about this national divorce. What if we split up the country into sections? We get Montana and Texas. And Texas. And Alaska. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:07 Utah. Indiana. Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana. Wait. You like Indiana? Are you a big fan of Indiana? Well, they're very conservative. One of the most conservative.
Starting point is 01:03:19 in the union. At least based on voting. We get Florida. We get Florida? We get Florida. But they can have California. They can have New York. They can have Vermont.
Starting point is 01:03:31 Let's see how you do with those places. So I don't want to rush you or anything, but if you haven't ordered a Rectec yet, you need to do it soon. What are you waiting for? Have you not heard Glenn talk about how this is, I mean, one of the coolest features. I love this about REC tech is that you. you can do this from your cell phone. That's so cool.
Starting point is 01:03:58 You can monitor it from inside when it's massively hot in Texas on the outside. Or, you know, if you're in the north or whatever and it's starting to get cold, you can do all this, monitor it from inside. I love that idea. That's so awesome. Plus, Thanksgiving's right around the corner. This year can be perfect. And you can make the perfect turkey on a Rectec Grill.

Starting point is 01:04:54 subscription at blaisTV.com or promo code pat i guess you could use that one too pat great for glen on the glenbeck program also producer keith here with me this uh today this today this today just for those who might be listening on podcasts or later on uh you don't know if it's morning afternoon no night could be any time it's this today yeah it's uh this today exactly Saturday. Thank you for coming to the M1 event if you were able to make it. It was a great time. A really cool venue at the
Starting point is 01:05:54 Toyota Music Factory, which we haven't had it at a place like that before. Usually we're in the banquet halls and there's table set up, but this was a more comfortable like couch arrangement. Oh, wow. Everybody got to sit on couches and and then bid on items and donate. And thank you for everybody who donated
Starting point is 01:06:15 because this is an important event. This pays for all, you know, the administrative stuff. The employees at M1, for some reason, they have to feed their families. And so this does that. And then after we take care of this, then all of the proceeds that you donate to things like, you know, the Afghan relief and saving families and flying Christians out of the danger zones that they live in. All of that money, every dollar, goes to what you donated it to do. So that's why this is really important.
Starting point is 01:06:54 And thank you so much for supporting M1 if you were able to do that. Appreciate that. AAA 727 B-E-C-K, Pac-Rae for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. Let's go to Jim in Maine. Hey, Jim, you're on the Glenn Beck program. Yes, hi, it's Jim. Listen, I was just talking. with my wife too and she I believe she says what I said she's a nurse she said that when
Starting point is 01:07:22 kids people used to always say the kids needed to catch the flu needing to catch the cold so they would have a natural immunity from just things like that in general well if they're wearing masks what the heck is going to happen to their immunity for that too the flu for children is far more deadly than it is uh for COVID they're more there are more there are more danger from flu and they are from COVID. So they wear a mask. What's going to happen then? Well, yeah. Appreciate it. Thanks, Jim. That's a good question.
Starting point is 01:07:54 What happens to our immune systems? And our natural immunity, and it's pretty much been proven, is far better than the vaccine. It's far better. Probably lasts a lot longer. In fact, people who caught the SARS
Starting point is 01:08:12 pig flu, was it, the pig flu? Yeah, it was swine flu. SARS in 2003. So SARS 2003, whether that was bird or
Starting point is 01:08:21 swine or whatever it was. People who caught that then still had the antibodies. Yeah, 17, 18 years later, absolutely. And we're often
Starting point is 01:08:29 protected from getting COVID-19 because, you know, it's a related illness. So, you know, compare that to getting a vaccine and then six months
Starting point is 01:08:38 later, oh, time for a booster. Well, wait, I'm fully vaccinated. Yeah, but that doesn't last. Yeah, wasn't the guy
Starting point is 01:08:44 Just saying that if they're wearing the mask and they aren't getting exposed, well, I mean, the mask isn't stopping anything. But it's definitely building up. We've discussed this on your show, Pat Gray Unleashed. What is the mask catching that you're exhaling? I mean, it's just sitting there. It's so gross. It is gross.
Starting point is 01:09:04 I'm telling you, if you are in med school right now, be studying the lungs. Because I have a feeling that that's going to be some issues in the future. I'm going to be a necessary profession. more so going forward. It only makes sense. We touch the mask with our hands. Our hands are infected with stuff because we're touching things that are germy all the time. And then
Starting point is 01:09:24 it goes right to the mask. You're moving it, fiddling with it, pulling it down to take a bite or whatever you're doing. That mask is not then sanitized. So what other kinds of things are you getting?
Starting point is 01:09:40 And because we're being so babyed here. Locked down, shut out, socially distanced, then we're not being exposed to things that we're normally exposed to. And we build up immunity against all that stuff. Yeah, but I kind of want the social distance stuff to stay in place. I'm kind of okay with some of the social distance. Yeah. You know, I'm okay with that.
Starting point is 01:10:00 If we can hang on to one relic from the COVID era, it would be the socially distance. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And I'm okay with the hand bump thing, too, instead of the handshake. Yeah. That's okay.
Starting point is 01:10:11 That's fine. That's right. Wait, you know how like your word is your bond, you know, like Glenn always talks about a handshake deal. Is it now a fist bump deal? Now it's a fist bump deal. At least as far as I'm concerned. Glenn may not feel that way. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:10:25 But he can tell you about that next time. I mean, we bumped fists. That is, that is, that is good as my word. I can hear Glenn saying this right now. I'm all about that. Yeah. I'm all about it. So you stay on your side of the room.
Starting point is 01:10:40 Yeah. And if we have to, we'll fist bump. But that's, we're going to. That's where it ends. You know what else would help to stay really healthy is if you cut out the small talk in the grocery store checkout life. Totally okay with that. Less exhaling, huh? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:54 Just don't talk. That's okay. Just don't talk. Yeah, just don't talk. When, you know, when you're checking out my items, you run them across a scanner. You don't like the slant home. How's your day going so far? I don't want to talk to you about that.
Starting point is 01:11:07 Do you ever answer honestly, though? No. Be like, man, it's really crappy day. Let me tell you about it. I woke up this morning. I had diarrhea. How far do you want me to go here? Then...
Starting point is 01:11:18 Yeah, they go into work with this guy named Keith. You can't and him. You know, maybe that would stop the conversation pretty quickly. I think it might actually. Yeah, you're kind of rolling the dice, though. You are. Because if they're like to pride, they really are interested and they want to know. Oh, my gosh. Well...
Starting point is 01:11:33 Oh, wow. Well, do you have any K.O. Peck? Yeah, let me show you what I use. Did you get any of this rung up yet? Because that'll stop it. And then they go to the PA announcer. customer needs assistance with K-O-Pactate for diarrhea in Isle 12 Can we get a price check on this diarrhea med thing?
Starting point is 01:11:52 I don't know which one is it. Yeah, so maybe we bit off a little more than we can chew there. Let's go to Steve in New Mexico. Hey, Steve, you're on the Glimbeck program. Hey, how are you doing, Derek? Good. Terrible. Hey, listen, my question is that very simply, I have a son in the military,
Starting point is 01:12:10 United States Navy, actually. And, of course, he's been given a lawful order they're calling it to take the vaccine. He's refusing it under religious exemption. My point is, as you had mentioned earlier, Senator Cruz and one other senator had said that Biden hadn't actually put out a executive order officially. Right. So how does that work with the military? That's a really good question. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:36 Yeah. I don't know. I'm guessing they're still threatening court martial or whatever or dishonorable. charges that what they're doing with him that's exactly correct but actually it's not a court marshal at this point it's a captain's math where he'll be put up and what could be a reduction in pay a few other things yeah it's kind of ridiculous yeah and i know you guys are i know you guys are busy i just want to ask one quick question yeah and this is asking for a friend if the why are they do they keep saying that by getting the vaccine you can't transmit
Starting point is 01:13:12 the virus to somebody else. They never mentioned that. That's ridiculous. Even if you're vaccinated, you can steal, transmit the virus. So why are they pushing the vaccine? That's my point. Yeah. It's a good question.
Starting point is 01:13:25 I mean, as recently as this past week, we get the video of Joe Biden himself, still saying, vaccinated can't transmit. Remember that? We got the... Yeah, let's see that. It's not a matter of fact. It's all dangerous and obvious, but we're still not there. We have to beat this thing.
Starting point is 01:13:42 So while I didn't race to do it right away, that's why I've had to move toward requirements that everyone get vaccinated or I had the authority to do that. That wasn't my first instinct. My administration is now requiring federal workers to be vaccinated. We've also required federal contractors to be vaccinated. If you have a contract of the federal government working for the federal government, you have to be vaccinated. We're requiring active duty military to be vaccinated. We're making sure health care workers are vaccinated because, you have a vaccinated. If you seek care at a health care facility, you should have a certainty that the people providing that care are protected from COVID and cannot spread it to you.
Starting point is 01:14:22 Wait. What? Okay. So the fact that they have a higher viral load after getting the vaccine, that means they're not going to spread it to me? Yeah. Hmm. Okay. We know that not to be true, actually. I mean, they make false statements every stinking day.
Starting point is 01:14:41 multiple times every day. That's not going to be censored on YouTube or Facebook. That's not going to be labeled misleading. And you have to fill out some form and triplicate in order to watch the video. I know how many click-throughs. I hate it. I hate what's going on. But it's going to get worse before it gets any better with YouTube and Google.
Starting point is 01:15:02 They've already said, you know, they're going to be not just the COVID-19 stuff anymore. It's also into the climate change stuff. So I guess, you know, their arguments can't hold up so they can't allow it to be heard. They can't allow any dissent whatsoever because there's no way they win this argument. And the retired California registered nurse who stood up, is this at another school board meeting? I'm not sure what this might be a city council meeting, but she gets up and asks these important, questions about why we're doing the things we're doing.
Starting point is 01:15:47 Clips seven on yours. Cut number seven. It's number, yeah, cut video seven. Can I tell you something? No, that's not it. That's not the one. I mean, this is still good news, though. What was that one? That was the, so, so all across the country, parents are pushing back on these mask mandates, and that mom was sharing good news to her son, who was coming home from school saying, we went in court today. I mean, and, and you know, we had, because we played that video on your show this morning, and one of your viewers chimed in and made a great point.
Starting point is 01:16:23 Watch this video. At the very end, the kid saying, boy, that's going to be weird when we go back to school. We're not having to wear a mask. Like, the new normal is taking root in our children. This is sad. Can I tell you something? So, there were some parents of Bentonville School, some of my friends who took the school to court. okay they took them to court saying they can't mandate masks and we won
Starting point is 01:16:52 look at that wow I mean this means a lot to the Louis I this mom fought for her son baby you don't have to wear oh it's going to be so weird look how much he hates wearing the mask and then he's told he doesn't have to starting tomorrow and that's going to be weird because this is the new normal for them for these poor kids that's the new normal And the kids just beside himself. He's so happy that it doesn't have to wear the mask again. But here's that registered nurse asking important questions. Why do the protected need to be protected from the unprotected by forcing the unprotected
Starting point is 01:17:36 to use the protection that didn't protect the protected in the first place? Great. She's got the whole audience behind her. Even though it's almost impossible to follow the logic because none of this stuff is logical. No. They still cheer. AAA 727 B-E-C-K.

You sure he's not out celebrating Indigenous People's Day? No, he may be. It may be a ruse to celebrate Indigenous People's Day. Gotcha. But there's another of the traditions and the history that we've changed from... And Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices. Right.
Starting point is 01:20:37 We're going to have to change our conversation. Our conversation. We're going to have to change our traditions, our history. We're going to have to move into a different place. Yeah. Yeah, so we have. So that's great. Okay.
Starting point is 01:20:51 Triple 8-7-27-B-E-C-K. Also, just maybe a point of interest here, Bitcoin going through the roof again. Where is Bitcoin now today? Yeah. Because it had gone down to like $42,000. It's down to $29,000. Not that long ago. She's.
Starting point is 01:21:09 And so now it's almost doubled since then. And it's up to a $575 as of right now. $57,000 per coin. Who was it that got in at? Was it the Winkle-Dinkle twins, right? Yeah, the Winkle-Dinkies. There you go. The same guys that, yeah, the Winkle Voss.
Starting point is 01:21:31 That stole, they had Facebook stolen from them by Mark Zuckerberg, of course. But then they did some smart things like invested Bitcoin very early on. Now they're worth something like $4 billion each. Yeah, that'll do it. Yeah. So in April, Bitcoin was at $63,000. Then it crashed all the way down. July, it was down at 29,000. And so now, less than three months later, it has doubled from
Starting point is 01:21:58 that price and it's pushing 58,000 today. Wow, that's interesting. It's an amazing ride with Bitcoin. Even when it went down to 29,000, though, it's still outrageous. Still outrageous, especially compared to where it was last year. Ah, man. Triple-8-727-B-E-C-K. Final hour, the Glenn Beck program with Pat Gray and my producer, Keith, coming up just a minute. Biden administration once again proving that the buck stops anywhere but here.
Starting point is 01:22:43 We'll get into that. Also, will Kyrie Irving play any home basketball games this year. It'll be fascinating to find out. That and much more. Coming up in one minute. Today's news is unfortunately a cautionary tale. Andrews Bello,
Starting point is 01:23:07 Catholic University just concluded a study indicating that 75% of Venezuelans are living in extreme poverty, 75%. 95% of the country lives in general poverty. Wow. So 75% extreme, 95% dead, just generally poor. Which, wow, that's amazing. What's happened to them in so many other countries after their currency, hyperinflated, is heartbreaking. and it's terrifying.
Starting point is 01:23:41 This is what happens when you allow corruption and leftism, but those are basically one and the same. But that's what happens when you allow them to get a stranglehold on your economy and just keep squeezing. Wasn't all that long ago. Venezuela was not just one of the wealthiest countries in Central America. It was the wealthiest. How long is it going to be before people are saying something like that about us?
Starting point is 01:24:06 Nobody is saying that this is going to happen tomorrow, but there are certainly parallels that should make you want to prepare ahead for you and your family.

Starting point is 01:24:53 Packed right for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program with producer Keith. Jen Saki, we just saw this on the four-minute buzz a few minutes ago. This is incredible that this continues to happen. This is the spokesperson for the president of the United States. And what was it he said a while ago? The buck? The buck stops with me. Uh, no.
Starting point is 01:25:22 He never accepts the buck stopping with him. Has he ever said, yeah, that's, that's on me. I don't, uh, no, that's never happened. Uh, but, but Saki was asked about because they were expecting, was it, 500,000 new jobs into the economy last month? And instead, they came up with like 192,000 something. here's her answer. What do you make of these really terrible pulse?
Starting point is 01:25:50 Are they that he's doing something wrong? Is it just the communication or is it doing popular things that have to be done? Or something else? Sure. Well, look, I would say that this is a really tough time in our country. We're still battling COVID. And a lot of people thought we'd be through it, including us. And we, because of the rise of the Delta variant, because of the fact that even though it was a vaccine that was approved under a Republican administration,
Starting point is 01:26:16 even though we now have full FDA approval. And even though it's widely available across the country, we still have a quarter of the country who have less than that, 20% of the country, who decided not to get vaccinated. No question that's having an impact. Wow. Okay. So there they are. Once again, pitting Americans against Americans.
Starting point is 01:26:37 It's those damn unvaccinated people that are causing this situation. If it wasn't for Donald Trump, Who left office 10 months ago? And you unvaccinated, idiots. We'd be fine right now. The numbers would be skyrocketing because we're geniuses. Wow. I mean, how long can this continue before we're at each?
Starting point is 01:27:05 We're already at each other's throats half the time. The rhetoric is already ridiculous and inflammatory, almost nonstop, going on Twitter, you see the cesspool that that is, and how Americans treat each other there. We just, we actually had someone wishing death on, who was that? Was that, uh, oh, that was the, uh, that was a guy in Lithuania. That's right. But the guy in Lithuania was all the time was complaining about the fact that he can't go anywhere
Starting point is 01:27:39 because he's unvaccinated and he doesn't want the vaccine. So he can't, he said he can't. participate in society, which is coming here, by the way. Yeah, yeah. And so people are actually wishing him death because of it. Yeah, he posted a thread on Twitter, which should serve as a cautionary tale as to where we're heading if we don't stop, just like you were mentioning,
Starting point is 01:28:00 Kyrie Irving, stop accepting this new normal of vaccine passports in order to participate in society. Kyrie Irving is a superstar in the NBA. And he has just said, I'm not being vaccinated, no. And there's a rule or an order in place. I don't think they passed anything through the legislature, did they? I think it's another executive order. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:28:28 New York City, De Blasio. Yep. Through executive order, they're doing the vaccine passport. So he can't go to the basketball arena because he's not vaccinated. so he can't play in his home games. I guess they didn't see this curve ball coming, huh? Huh. One of the biggest superstars in the NBA won't play in 41 games this year?
Starting point is 01:28:51 The reason people are going to see that team play. I wonder if that's going to hold up. I would guess no. Because that's going to cost them dollars right there. That's going to cost them dearly. I would love to be eavesdropping on NBA. front office calls right now. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 01:29:13 Me too. To his credit, LeBron James, who I'm no fan of. But even he has said, look, I'm not going to demand that my teammates are vaccinated. That's between them and their maker. Yeah, and people on the left are
Starting point is 01:29:28 upset to him. They're really pissed. Why aren't you a spokesperson? You should be setting the example. Tell your teammates to do this. Back off. Why aren't you trying to be a dictator? Why aren't you trying to oppress your teammates? Why aren't you taking away their will? That's just wrong.
Starting point is 01:29:47 You should be forcing people because force, forcing people to do things against their will is good. Hmm. Yeah, it seems to be, to me, that's the exact opposite. Force is a tool of Satan. so yeah yeah and and you were talking about the guy in lithuania who's you know co-workers have wished them death you know he was just basically uh this impassioned twitter thread where he was going through here's what life is like with these vaccine passports you know basically saying um we can't work we're not getting paid we're not allowed in grocery stores we're having to buy food like a soviet style economy on the black market my kids aren't allowed to go to a dentist This is what is happening. Lithuania should serve as the warning for the rest of the world.
Starting point is 01:30:41 Isn't that interesting? Because all these years, we've been looking out for a device that precludes you from participating in society, in the economy. What is the name of that? There's four words in it. And I think it starts with Mark. Okay. And I think it ends in beast. I mean, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:31:09 And I think there's of the, of the in between. Mark of the beast. Huh. You must have that mark in order to participate in society. Seriously, how long until we have QR codes on our arms? I don't, not that far. I mean, that is not that far fetched a question. It's not like, look how far we've come in this short of time.
Starting point is 01:31:32 Hypothetically, it didn't seem like, what? year ago, we would even be having this discussion. We'd be trying to figure out, okay, what are the old mark of the beast is going to be, huh? What are we thinking here? Yeah, and I don't know that the Vax passport is the mark of the beast, but it certainly has some similarities to what we understand about it. All right.
Starting point is 01:31:50 All of a sudden, it's like, wait a minute, now we have a contender. Yeah. Oh, boy. Yeah. Well, because how convenient would it be if you just put the mark, you know, I don't know, in your wrist, maybe in your forehead or something? It's just a scan code, and you just scan your wrist. And you just scan your wrist or you scan your forehead.
Starting point is 01:32:07 And you say I can go in the grocery store now? And you can go in the grocery store. I can go to NBA games? Yeah. Mm-hmm. You can play in the NBA game? Just get that mark. Can I go to the dentist too?
Starting point is 01:32:17 Yeah, you can go to the dentist. But I can't do those if I don't get this. No, you cannot. No grocery store, so no food. Nobody can come to your house because you won't get vaccinated. Oh, wait. So you can't have your groceries even delivered. We can't allow you to eat.
Starting point is 01:32:31 Okay? We can't. And of course, I don't know that I can allow you to live where you're living because you're a menace to your neighbors. Wait, where do I have to live? We could find an island somewhere. Wait, I'm listening.
Starting point is 01:32:47 Yeah, but not a nice one. I'm talking about a nasty island where there's nothing to eat and it's not warm and beautiful. Oh, no. Are they going to put all of us in New Jersey? Then we have ESPN host, Sage Steele. this broke last week that she, she's already issued the public apology, of course,
Starting point is 01:33:07 because she had the unmitigated goal to criticize Disney's vaccine mandate on a podcast. So they've removed her from the air. And I mean, I don't think she's coming back. Are they going to allow her to ever come back? Gosh. This is the Disney Corporation.
Starting point is 01:33:27 I was just watching over the weekend. Disney does these. Well, right now they're celebrating their 50th. anniversary of the opening of Disney World. So they have a really kind of interesting documentary on the opening of Walt Disney World in Florida. And so they showed a lot of Walt Disney. That man must be spinning like a lathe in his grave. He would be so infuriated over what's going on in his company right now.
Starting point is 01:34:00 He wouldn't want anything to do with the Disney of Disney. today. This is just the opposite of everything he stood for. Anyway, last week, Sage Steele from ESPN told former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler on his podcast that she didn't want to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and she only did so because of the company's sick and scary mandate. They didn't like that. She said, I work for a company that mandates it. And I had until September 30th to get it done or I'm out. I respect everyone's decision. I really do. But to mandate it is sick and it's scary to me in many ways. How dare you? How dare you, Sage?
Starting point is 01:34:48 So then, of course, company came down on her and she issued an apology the next day. I know my recent comics created controversy for the company and I apologize. We're in the midst of a extremely challenging time that impacts all of us. And it's more critical than ever that we communicate constructively and thoughtfully. So in other words, probably written by a suit. And then she's like, sign right here, please. Thank you. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:16 Yeah, yeah. So then an accompanying statement from ESPN did not indicate whether she faced corporate discipline. But of course, she was taken off the air. So she did face corporate. I mean, will she just be flat out fired soon? I would guess so. According to front office sports, she was removed from being on the air last week because of her comments. She also tested positive for COVID-19 and will be absent from Sports Center.
Starting point is 01:35:47 Wait a minute. I thought she had the... For at least a week. She got the shot, right? Yes. Wait a minute. Yeah, she did get the shot. The president just told us.
Starting point is 01:35:56 And she got COVID. anyway. Oh, man. She will also not be hosting, and this has got to kill her. She will not be hosting the ESPNW Women Plus Sports Summit, which takes place October 18th through the 20th. That would be heartbreaking right there. If I can't attend the ESPNW women and sports summit. Right. And the COVID got her out of that?
Starting point is 01:36:28 Is life worth living? Or is this a punishment? Because that's almost worth getting COVID that you don't have to cover that event now. Oh, no. Shoot. Oh, boy, really? I'm sick and I can't go cover that.
Starting point is 01:36:39 And hear about the WNBA and I don't know, women's soccer. Please tell me that they didn't say. Field hockey. We're going to show that sage steel. We're going to take away her access to the WNBA summit. Yeah. She's also facing controversy.
Starting point is 01:36:58 controversy for comments she made on the podcast about former President Barack Obama's racial identity, which is sort of when you listen to it, it was, I think her comments were insightful. She said, you know, because he's biracial like she is. Exactly. White parent and a black parent. She said, well, congratulations to the president. That's his thing.
Starting point is 01:37:25 I think that's fascinating considering his black. dad is nowhere to be found, right? He left him when he was a baby. So far, these are facts. But his white mom and grandma raised him, but okay, you do you. I'm going to do me. Listen, I'm pretty sure my white mom was there when I was born and my white family loves me as much as my black family. And her point was his mom was there the whole time. His dad left him immediately. But who does the identify with. His dad, of course. Dreams from my father.
Starting point is 01:38:05 It's not what it was called. It's been a while soon as we talked about that. But you can't say that, I guess. Even as a black woman, she still can't say that. Wow. And you're not even supposed to mention that Barack Obama is half white. That's verboten. Don't even go there.

Starting point is 01:40:10 Great to have you with us. Thanks for being here. Been hearing a lot about this reconciliation bill and what's being put into it. The $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill. It extends the child tax credit to anyone in the United States who provides an individual tax identification number, overturning a crucial safeguard against fraud. Why would you want to safeguard against fraud? against fraud.
Starting point is 01:40:40 Ah, don't worry about it. Federal law required a valid Social Security number to receive the cash transfer from the government. The potential payout for illegal immigrants is massive, which is what they're trying to do.
Starting point is 01:40:54 For some reason, they want to give payments to non-citizens, to people who snuck into our country illegally. With each family receiving a monthly payment of $250 to $300 per child, Transfer well.
Starting point is 01:41:11 Yeah, that's great. Pew Research Center found that about 675,000 children are not eligible for a Social Security number, making the tax expansion for illegal aliens cost between $2 billion and $2.43 billion. So that's just $2,430 million a year. Doesn't even put a dent in that trillion dollar coin. No, come on. Just leave it there. Don't worry about it.
Starting point is 01:41:35 and 800 other little things like this that we don't know about. How many things have they sneaked into this that we don't know a thing about? How many pages was this bill? Wasn't it like 2400? It was a lot. 2400 pages, which nobody will ever read. No one. Democrats are trying to advance an amnesty provision into the budget reconciliation bill too.
Starting point is 01:42:02 They're still trying it. A process reserved for budget. Matters. Congressional Democrats have argued that granting legal status to millions of illegals would add $139.6 billion to the budget deficit by 2032. Oh good. The Senate parliamentarian ruled, of course, last month that they can't do this, but they're still trying to do it anyway because they're Democrats. And that's what they do. consider that the value of the CTC for an infant child is now 3,600 a year.
Starting point is 01:42:40 That alone represents 40% of Columbia's per capita income and nearly 120% of Haiti's. This is why countries with unconditional welfare benefits also tend to have relatively restrictive immigration laws, but we don't. and there's what 60,000 more Haitians on the way? Yeah, that's right. Yeah, and you were correct.
Starting point is 01:43:05 2,465 pages make up this bill. I'd like to know if one single person has read even half of it because I bet the answer is no. Maybe Rand Paul has had one of his underlings go through it. That's possible. Other than that, I bet nobody has. 3.8-27-B-E-C-K. October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month,
Starting point is 01:43:43 and this year's theme is do your part, be CyberSmart. That's cool because it rhymes. Yeah, that's cool. I like that.

Starting point is 01:45:20 Man, they've been Derconian with their COVID-19 things in Victoria, the Victorian state or province or whatever they call it in Australia. There's several provinces there that are heavy-handed right now, but I guess that's what happens when you don't have guns in your society? Yes, in part. And when you've been a penal colony in the past, Sometimes that comes back to heart you. Yes.
Starting point is 01:45:43 Because history does repeat itself. And maybe that's what's happening here. But there's a police officer who stood up to it. She was doing an interview. Crystal Mitchell is her name. And here's what she said to the reporter she was talking to. The consequences of me being here today is that I will be resigning from Victoria Police. Effective the end of this interview.
Starting point is 01:46:08 because the consequences of me coming out publicly would be dismissal. So I'm choosing to quit and I'm quitting because I can't remedy in my soul anymore the way in which my organisation that I love to work for is being used and the damage that it's causing in the reputation of Victoria Police and the damage that it's causing to the community. My partner and I were out walking during our two hours of exercise on the weekend, and there were police everywhere. I live in the city.
Starting point is 01:46:45 And there was just police everywhere, you know, doing their reassurance patrols, which they're not reassurance patrols. You're not reassuring anybody in the community. You're scaring people in the community that there's that many police out in the city, you know, trying to stop mass gatherings or what have you. and the police don't want to look you in the eye. You don't want to look the police in the eye. There's this air of uncomfortability about it all.
Starting point is 01:47:13 All of my friends that are police officers that are working the front line and are suffering every day enforcing show directions that the vast majority or certainly a great majority don't believe in and don't want to enforce. Wow. How much different is that than the 10? Taliban, whatever they call the religious patrols, the people that are out in the street
Starting point is 01:47:40 and they're looking for any violation of Sharia law. And they come down on you hard when they find those violations. So they're out on these reassurance patrols. Reassurance patrols. Finding people who aren't wearing a mask or have strayed too far away from home
Starting point is 01:47:59 and they're cracking down on him. And did you hear that? She just referenced we were out doing. our two hours of exercise. Like, I think that was what you're allowed to be outside of your house. I think that's what she was referring to there. My gosh. It's ridiculous.
Starting point is 01:48:16 This is in a Western civilization. Western civilization, yeah. And you kind of want to know, maybe you could do some good from the inside. You totally respect the fact that she's quitting. Yeah. It's like, how many good people are going to be left? But how hard is that to make that decision? That's your livelihood.
Starting point is 01:48:32 Gosh. And she said she's doing what she loves. It is so hard to take that principled stand. I don't know how many people can do it. Because if you have to have that income and you don't have, you know, a lot of opportunities elsewhere, what are you supposed to do? Exactly. I'm sure Australia is similar to the United States and people don't have a lot of money saved. You don't have a lot of margin for error.
Starting point is 01:49:00 When the bills are due and the mortgage payment is... People live paycheck. to paycheck. Paycheck to pay. Exactly. And how many people are having to make this unnecessarily difficult decisions? Yeah, it's crazy. Absolutely nuts.
Starting point is 01:49:13 So that's going on there and you think, well, that's Australia. That's never. I mean, we already have the vaccine passports in New York. They've already clamped down in Los Angeles and New York on all of these things. How long before that spreads? Here's a dad serving school board members with papers. with court papers because they've overstepped
Starting point is 01:49:38 their limits with mask mandates. I love what he tells these people at a Pennsylvania school district. Check this out. What's best for human interest will and always be allowing humans to have their own personal freedom of choice without someone forcing their own will
Starting point is 01:49:50 or their own fears on us. Yet again, you're starting segregation based off of your own fears and your own personal interests. The people in this country have had enough and we are fighting back. I have something to give you. Security, would you do me a favor?
Starting point is 01:50:02 Would you please hand those forms for the board members? I got a gift for him. Yeah. You've been officially served. $200 million lawsuit with six complaints and $500 million. Your job is not to be concerned with children's health. You're not nurses.
Starting point is 01:50:16 You're not doctors. Right. You're not responsible for their health organizations. Thank you. Your only focus is on our children's education. Yet the education system here is 50th in the state. And you make almost more money than anybody else. It is very clear that you have failed at doing that job.
Starting point is 01:50:30 This country is not alone. It's time that we wake up. And we're going to do law. After lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit. You can throw it out as much as you want. We're going to keep this paperwork on your desk and keep a problem going until we get exactly what we want. This is not a negotiation. We will have our freedom of choice.
Starting point is 01:50:45 And we'll see you in court. That's the way to handle this. I mean, telling them what you expect, look, you are the people who answer to us. We don't answer to you. Now, do what we're telling you to do and stop this madness. and leave our kids alone. But they won't. The tragedy in all of this is the children.
Starting point is 01:51:10 I mean, we saw the exacerbation of the kid when he was told that he wouldn't have to wear the mask anymore. Yeah. Yeah. Amazing. Finally, relief. Just amazing. Triple-8-933-93. No, it's AAA 727B-B-E-C.
Starting point is 01:51:27 You're in a lot of rooms in this building. Yes. Yes, I am. But that's the number of you. can call with Pat Gray Unleashed when you listen tomorrow right before this show. Yeah. When you listen live. Or you can check it out anytime during the day
Starting point is 01:51:40 or night, wherever you get your podcast. We may get easy for you. Yes, we do. We try. Everywhere. Let's go to Wyatt in Utah. Hey, Wyatt, you're on the Glenbeck program with Pat Gray. Hello? Hey. Hi, Wyatt. Wyatt. Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:51:57 A point that with this school, I'm a school bus driver. Okay. And I sanitize the bus after every run. I have to wear a respirator for the fumes from the disinfectant spray. Wow. So you're saying the spray that you're using in there is not exactly safe. I get nosebleeds and sneeze and fits.
Starting point is 01:52:32 and chest congestion. And it even showed up on a test at the doctor's office. It did show up on a chest, an x-ray or something? No, a chemical test. Okay. And you have, so some of these chemicals are making it into your system. Uh-huh, uh-huh. A confined space.
Starting point is 01:53:00 Yeah. They're out the bus for the next run. But it just goes along with everything else. It's with the COVID mandate and that everything, the virus that's not even any more virulent than the common cold and all the division on the border and everything else. This country is going through what we've heard Glenn talk to us about for many years. years, this is the perfect storm to take down a nation. Yeah. And all of the unintended consequences, like these chemicals that our kids are being subjected to when they get on the bus.
Starting point is 01:53:53 Uh-huh. I mean, you never would have thought of that necessarily before or, you know, a year ago. Appreciate the call. Thanks, Wyatt. But it's time to start thinking about that stuff. Well, the time is long past to start thinking about that. but are you subjecting them to something that's going to eventually be even worse than COVID-19 if they were to get it? I don't know, but maybe. I mean, if the chemicals are that powerful that they're showing up in his medical tests and he's wearing a,
Starting point is 01:54:27 didn't he say he was wearing a gas mask when he goes in there? He's wearing some kind of protection, a respirator. Yeah. Jeez. and then the kids come in there and they're just breathing all that. They're in the same space as he is. Don't even worry about it. With younger, less developed mungs.
Starting point is 01:54:43 Right. Pulmonary. Bizarre. Karen in Pennsylvania. Hi, you're on the Glenn Beck program. Hey. Hey. I just had a quick story about I have a 15-year-old daughter who's severely handicapped. So if you know handicapped kids, they don't cover their mouth, they don't know how to sneeze.
Starting point is 01:55:02 You know what I mean? They pop all over your face. So my daughter was sick about a week ago, two weeks ago. I got sick. I took her to get a test. She tested positive for COVID with the rapid test. And so I was 100% sure I had it. She literally was coughing in my face for a week.
Starting point is 01:55:21 And I went and got a test. I was negative. I went and got the two-day test. It was negative. And I can't understand this deadly disease coughed right in my face. I thought, okay, I'm going to get it over with. I'm not vaccinated, and not one doctor can tell me why she has it and I don't. Are the rapid test focused?
Starting point is 01:55:43 I mean, I don't get it. Have you taken her back to be retested? I was going to. Yeah. But I didn't yet because the test was like $100. Oh. So I thought the testing was supposed to be free. Aren't the test free now?
Starting point is 01:55:59 Or apparently not, huh? Well, they charged the insurance company $100. and the insurance company will only pay for once every 10 days. So I might take her back, but, I mean, at this point, I'd like someone to tell me why I didn't get it. I don't want the vaccine. I don't think I need the vaccine. And I think the two doctors I asked said to me,
Starting point is 01:56:21 well, you probably have natural immunity. So natural immunity is something, and I do take all the vitamins and stuff, but I was hoping to get it and get it over with, but it's just going to happen. You can also, I think there's home. There's home versions of the test that you can get now for, I don't know, 20 bucks or something. If you really wanted to test her, you can do it. I would like to know if she had it. Yeah, I bet.
Starting point is 01:56:44 Yeah, I would want to know too. All right. Thanks a lot, Karen. I recommend, you know, maybe a CVS or Walgreens. You go there and check out the home test. That's kind of the route. You're hoping to go, right? Have someone cough on your face and just give you COVID that way so you don't have to worry about the other?
Starting point is 01:57:02 Yeah. Not so much. No. Oh, no. No. No. I don't really want to play around with it necessarily. I'd rather not get it.
Starting point is 01:57:09 And so far that's been the case. And I've been in many situations where there's tons of people I don't know, milling around. Right. But I think the thing that you have going for you that most people don't is you're just the image of health. Right? And physical specimen. Yes. So you have kind of natural resistance.
Starting point is 01:57:28 That's right. A robust immunity from such a healthy body. Yeah, not everybody is Adonis like yourself. Right. And so we have to like take precautions and stuff. For the little people. Yeah. That's true.
Starting point is 01:57:41 All right. Triple 8-7-27 B-E-C-K. Let me tell you about a way to make your dog healthier and more active and just like they were when they were a puppy. Imagine if you had to live entirely on food that had little to no nutritional value every single day. Now, as a person who loves a lot of food that have little to no nutritional value, my first reaction, as well as Glenn's might be, yeah, I'd jump at the chance. Yeah, give me all the donuts I can possibly jam in my fat face. But, you know, when you get scurvy after a week of that, then you start to see the error of your ways. But this is how our dogs typically live.
Starting point is 01:58:31 When they eat that kibble food, that dry kibble food, which is half. had all of the nutrients baked out of it because they've been sterilized so they last on the grocery store shelf for up to three years. Rough Greens isn't a dog food. It's a dog food supplement. You just sprinkle onto your dog's food. And it contains the vitamins and minerals and omega oils that they need. Basically all that stuff that your wife probably hounds about, hounds you about trying to get into your diet. this gets it into your dog's diet. You can get a free bag of this to try out, see if your dog likes it. Mine certainly does. I know Glenn's does. Stews does.
Starting point is 01:59:15 See if your dog will eat it and enjoy it by getting a free bag of Rough Greens. Sent to your house. All you have to pay is shipping. Go to Roughgreens.com slash back or call 833 Glenn 33. That's 833, G-L-E-N-N-33. Call today. 8887.2. Just an indication of how ridiculous things are in America right now. We had Tim, who's one of our listeners to my show, they call themselves Patheads. Pat heads, yeah.
Starting point is 01:59:59 Tim, was on Amazon and noticed some fun products that you can enjoy and buy and protect your loved ones. Right. Your loved pets can now get a face mask, at least for dogs. I haven't seen this for cats, but there's a, for those watching on the Blaze TV right now, that's a real thing. That's a dog and a mask. A little doggy mask. You actually strap around and, and heavy duty. That dog means business.
Starting point is 02:00:35 You can get, you can get a mask that has a respirator. I mean, do you love your pets or not? Or not. Right. see and I don't know how much they want for this but it's worth it at I don't care how much it costs thank you thank you I'm glad to hear that do you want your dog
Starting point is 02:00:52 protected or not that's uh that's a new level I thought that was the Babylon B but no no it's actually it's real oh man and I guess that's not protecting your dog that's protecting other dogs from your dog yeah because be responsible if you're going to the dog park you want your
Starting point is 02:01:12 dog to be masked up. You roll up with your dog. That dog's going to get picked on by other dogs. What's going to happen? Oh my goodness. Let me see if I can get a price here. Yeah, you want your dog to be bullied. Just put this mask on. Uh-huh. See what the other dogs do. The respirator one is only nine bucks. No, no, no, the plane one is nine bucks. Oh, okay. Yeah. So, wow, that's cheap at 10 times the price. Right. I'd pay 90. I'd pay 900. Would you know? Yeah, to protect my dog, you bet. Oh, the other one's only 10 bucks. Huh? Just for the respirator on it? I'm going to. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm I'm going to splurge. I'm going to splurge.
Starting point is 02:01:45 You can't be too careful. No. Hopefully Glenn returns tomorrow here on the Glenn Beck program. Thanks for being with us.
