Starting point is 00:00:00 Our sponsor this half hour is Bill Pard. I just had one this morning. Man, they are good. They are so good and perfect for snacks or if you're running in between meals or whatever. It's what my wife lives on. And unlike us, she looks good. She is getting so skinny. I mean, but she's in shape.
Starting point is 00:00:24 She's in muscle, muscle, muscle. Yeah, I know. It's annoying. You better watch out. She'll beat the snack. nod out of you. She ever finds out about, well, I don't want to bring it up. Thank you. Bill Bar, get your, uh, get your resolution fulfilled, lose weight, feel great. It tastes amazing. It's a protein bar really healthy. Builtbar.com uses real chocolate. Use a promo code Beck for 20%
Starting point is 00:00:47 off your next order. Builtbar.com promo code Beck. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, finally, relief is on its way, America and nothing spells COVID relief quite like a $100 million underground electric train for Silicon Valley. I mean, that's what America's been screaming for the whole time. We got to get back to normal. Could we please get a $100 million electric train for Silicon Valley? You know, with federal funds because Silicon Valley, that is a struggling area of the United States. It's not like, you know, one guy could put in a train himself. So not like that at all. We need government money to be able to do that.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Well, good news. The Democrats are on it and your $100 million electric train Silicon Valley, thank goodness your COVID relief is just about in the mail. We've got a lot to talk about coming up in just a second and some perspective on the news. American financing is our sponsor for the last year or so. I've been telling you if you're a homeowner, you need to consider a refinance of your mortgage as soon as possible because the historically low mortgage rates that we're experiencing won't last forever. And it's true. The market is tricky. See change is on the way. And if you're somebody who is fiscally responsible or even if you're someone who'd like to be more fiscally responsible, now is the time to make a difference in your own future and that of your family.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Take a little time today. Give American financing a call. Just give them a little bit of your time to find out. what they can do to help you get in the best possible financial footing. You're prepared then, no matter what comes down the pike. Maybe that means refinancing your mortgage, getting a little lower interest rate. Maybe it means bundling your debt together into one manageable monthly payment that could end up saving you hundreds, if not $1,000 or more every month. It's American Financing, 800906, 2440, or go to Americanfinancing. dot net. American financing
Starting point is 00:03:28 NMLS-182334 www. www.mLS consumer access.org Thank goodness. Nancy Pelosi is here to rescue the day. We have the $1.9 trillion dollar COVID relief legislation.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Thank goodness. Thank goodness. It does. No, well, let me just let me just say this. the platform of the DNC back in July, no sacrifice is too great for the American public to endure if it means getting more Democrats elected to office. Now, that's the way I read it.
Starting point is 00:04:14 That's the way I read it. Day 31 of the Biden administration, we get the 591-page bill. The Democrats are proposing to act into law. Buried in the text of the legislation is a section from the House Transportation Committee to fund $30 billion for transit systems to prepare, to prevent, and to respond to coronavirus.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Wait, to prepare, to prevent, and respond to coronavirus, $30 billion for new transit systems. Can you do the math on that one? Uh, because I'm, I'm trying really hard. maybe the vaccines will come via train, underground train. Is that what it is? The bill funds a billion dollars for projects under Section 3 of IBEA public law.
Starting point is 00:05:08 The Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act. That section created a pilot program to fast-track federal funds on projects, meaning certain specifications that has been using in applications for funding for the Bay Area Rapid Transit System for Silicon Valley. looks like the bill and other related documents, the new relief bill will provide BART with about $112 million in funding for the continuation of the 6.5 mile extension from its current terminus in Militas, whatever that is, down to San Jose, then back to the city of Santa Clara. Oh, my goodness. So they're going to, for $112 million, Silicon Valley is going to get another 6.5 miles out of it, which, you know, in California, you couldn't bike ride. You know, you really couldn't. You couldn't do that.
Starting point is 00:06:06 You couldn't walk 6.5 miles. That's for sure. You need the under. You couldn't get into your electric car and drive it. No, you have to have that 6.5 extra miles, you know, for COVID reasons. I'm speaking specifically for COVID. Well, nothing cures COVID more than getting everybody inside of a little tube and in close contact and breathing all over each other. That's great for COVID.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Yeah. Now, also, in the bill, they have the $15 minimum wage, which I think, again, is what America said. When we first donned our mask, we said 15 days to slow the curve and 15. dollars an hour. That's what I was thinking. I don't know about you. I was thinking if we're going to slow the curve in 15 days, we need a $15 minimum wage. And thank goodness, Nancy Pelosi is there. She, uh, the bill also includes $1,400 stimulus checks for individuals earning less than $75,000 a year. Married couples earning less than $150,000 a year. The amount decreases for individuals and couple and couples earning over those amounts.
Starting point is 00:07:22 So we, we have that, including $350 billion in federal funding for states and localities, as well as $400 in weekly federal unemployment benefits on top of state benefits. So I think that's, you know, I think that's wonderful. That means we're going to be bailing out the states of California,
Starting point is 00:07:45 New York, Illinois, which I think it's wonderful. I think it's wonderful. You know, they shouldn't have to worry about the bill that they racked up, don't you think? Oh, no. I mean, I think we should. That's our fault. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:58 I think us in the, that's our fault in the red states. Yeah, it is. For forcing them, it is. For fairness reasons to implement all these policies that have ruined their society. Thank you. Thank you for that. Now, $15 wage, I know, as a small business man myself, I know that the thing you need, when you're really struggling is the government to come in and say you need to increase wages.
Starting point is 00:08:23 That is the best recipe for success. You know, when you're like barely making it and can't bear, you just barely can keep the doors open. When the government comes in and says, I need you to add at least $5 an hour to all of the employees that are working for minimum wage, you say, thank God the government is really here to help. They are here to help. Now, now sometimes progressive congressman or any congressman for that matter will say things that that everybody knows their thinking, but they don't really usually come out and say it. Representative Kana has come out. And here's what he said on the $15 minimum wage.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Well, of course, large businesses like Amazon and McDonald's, for example, can and perhaps should pay more. But I'm wondering, what is your plan for smaller businesses? How does this, in your view, affect mom and pop businesses who are just struggling to keep their doors open, keep workers on the payroll right now? Well, they shouldn't be doing it by paying people low wages. We don't want low-wage businesses. I think most successful small businesses can pay a fair wage. If you look at the minimum wage, increased with worker productivity until 1968, and that relationship was severed. If workers were actually getting paid for the value they were creating, it would be up to $23.
Starting point is 00:09:51 So I love small businesses. I'm all for it. But I don't want small businesses that are underpaying employees. Ah, okay. Well, you could solve that problem for you because they're all going to go away. You won't need them. You won't need them. All the small businesses and great thing, all of the minimum wage jobs.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Yeah. Like you are going to see kiosk after kiosk in most. small businesses or places like McDonald's, they can afford it because they can afford to buy the kiosk, which will eventually pay for itself and doesn't require, you know, health insurance or anything else. So McDonald's can, yes, they can afford the $15 minimum wage just to fix the kiosk. They can. They, you know, they can. And what's interesting about that is they just did a study on this on McDonald's specifically, this exact corporation they're talking about. And the way they, quote, unquote, afford it is to pass on 100% of the increases in the wages to the consumers.
Starting point is 00:10:49 100%. Not 50%, 100%. So the people who are going to McDonald's, which generally speaking are fat guys like me and Glenn, and people who maybe have a cost concern. Right. Those people get to pay more for the same product. That's great. And it doesn't add to the food desert at all.
Starting point is 00:11:09 No, not at all, not at all. Because they'll have the kiosk. So your kid won't be able to have a job at Subway or, you know, McDonald's or anything else because those jobs will be eliminated or those jobs will go to adults, you know, that don't go, what? What's your order? I can't hear you. You know, it doesn't go to those people. If you're paying $15 an hour, you might expect a little higher quality than a pimple face. angry kid might give you.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Yeah, and then they'll never learn to work. And this has rippling effects throughout our society. I also love the point where he's like, look, you know, I just think successful small businesses can afford to pay their people minimum wage or a living wage. Well, okay, let's just say, for example, some certainly some could. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. But like, are we only keeping the businesses that are thriving in the middle of the pandemic? Like, there's a lot of companies that are not successful right at this moment.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Yeah. So what does it mean for them? Wait, wait, I'm trying to get my arms around that. What's making them not successful right now? Is it? Democrats have closed all their businesses, largely. And also, we have a global pandemic. And a lot of people don't want to go out to do these things.
Starting point is 00:12:23 All right. I was just thinking that it was that they weren't hiring $15 an hour workers. No. What's interesting is the whole justification for the $1.9 trillion. Right. Is it an admission that these small businesses are not doing well? Huh. And that employees don't have just.
Starting point is 00:12:39 jobs. Well, that in the train. So to do something that will hurt, well, the train, too, obviously. I mean, you need the train. I'm saying the public justification. I mean, how are those, how are those workers in Silicon Valley getting to work other than on that underground train? You got to have the underground train. You have to have it. You have to have that. But like, the idea is we need $1.9 trillion because, number one, these businesses are struggling. Number two, people are out of work. So the solution to that is a $15 minimum wage will have less people in work and more for these businesses. Now, this is weird that you would bring this up because I've got a couple of other pieces
Starting point is 00:13:15 that might explain some of this. Really? Yeah, I do. I don't understand. Well, give me a minute. Hang on. We're going to take a quick minute break. And then we're coming right back with an explanation.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Of course, probably a conspiracy theory coming up in just a second standby. Right now, Patriot Mobile, probably the piece of technology you've used the most throughout the day is your cell phone, whether it's calling or texting or posting your latest kitchen creations to social media. Throughout the day, you're using that phone for all kinds of things, which means, of course, that you're shelling out money and you're putting into the pockets of somebody and they're supposed to give you a service back, right? That's what you counted on. But who is that somebody that you're putting money in the pockets of? If it's one of the big mobile companies like Verizon, you're giving money. You're giving
Starting point is 00:14:09 money, not only to Verizon, but Verizon has taken some of your money and giving it to leftist causes that you would never contribute in everyday life. Your funding probably Black Lives Matter. I know you're funding, you know, pro-abortion activities and Planned Parenthood. Well, do you want to keep doing that? Or do you want to stand with the people who are giving you a great service at a better price and not doing that? In fact, shoring up things, taking a portion of their profits and putting it towards things like the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the right to life, you know, those kinds of things. This month, get free Premier Activation, where they set up everything for you.

Go to Patriotmobile.com slash Beck. That's Patriotmobile.com slash Beck, or call 972, Patriot. at 10 seconds station ID. Now, wow.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Governor Gavin Newsom has a plans to vaccinate school staff more quickly, you know, more quickly than, well, right now they have in the warehouses about four million vaccinations just in California, not being touched right now. Because, you know, you got to make an appointment, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:44 you have to be a special person. It's not like you could just open up the floodgates and say, everybody can get a vaccination now because we're making three million vaccinations every single day. Everybody should have a vaccination. No, no, no. They want to do it a different way. So it's taking, yes, a little longer. But, hey, it's not like the economy is affected or children are affected at all. the California Teachers Association, the second largest school district, is continuing their negotiations on when they can come back to school.
Starting point is 00:16:24 And they're like, not sure. They're not sure. Everybody has to be vaccinated before those teachers feel safe, which is weird because it's not what the science says. You know, follow the science. And you'd think teachers who are always lecturing us about science, that that would play. that that would play a role. You know what's better than a vaccination though, I found? What? Getting paid for not working. Yeah. That is awesome.
Starting point is 00:16:49 You know what's better than negotiations? Firing them all. Hmm. Yeah. Yeah. How would they get paid without working if you fire them? They're going to be a $15 minimum wage. And they'll be able to look for that job on that new six and a half mile train.
Starting point is 00:17:04 So, honestly, fire the teachers. Time to fire the teachers. Well, these in California, they are, they had a big parade, a car parade. Oh, that's good. Yeah, on Saturday in a big press conference. And, and it's wonderful. Now, our kids, you know, don't worry about the kids.
Starting point is 00:17:27 You know, or really any of the facts. Drug deaths have jumped, have jumped 25% in the last year. about 7% of the UK children have attempted suicide. 7% and they have another, what is it? Self-harm is like another 24%. 24% of children in the UK have inflicted harm on themselves in the last year. But don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Don't worry about it. Let's not think about the kids. Japan has a record high, 479 school children that committed suicide during COVID. But again, don't worry about any of that. We can't get back to normal. We can't open up these schools until the teachers feel completely 100% safe. Now, let me give you a couple of ideas of what's happening here. Israel is way ahead of everybody.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Israel, smaller country, but they have made vaccinations, you know, a priority and they're getting it done. Israel has raced ahead the fastest COVID vaccination campaign in the world. Already, half of their population has at least one dose. But here's the thing that really bothered me. Well, let me give you a good news. in in Israel they just voted last week to open shopping malls museums back to the public subject to social distancing blah blah blah and gyms cultural sports events hotels swimming pools also reopening now in Israel because they have half the population inoculated we're saying now that even after inoculation no you can't go do anything that's ridiculous so dumb It is absolutely ridiculous and we all know it. Why would I get vaccinated if I have to still stay in my house?
Starting point is 00:19:36 And that is exactly the problem, right? You're communicating to the people like, well, you can go get a shop, but it's not going to do anything for you. So what's the point? You're incentivizing people not to do it. The government should be running ads. Hey, get your vaccination. Within four weeks, none of this applies to you.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Exactly right. Or whatever the timeline is, four weeks, six weeks. You'd be doing it. As soon as you hit that second shot, you no longer have to worry about anything. You can go out and you can go to concerts. You can go visit all your grandparents. You can go, you don't have to wear a mask in stores.
Starting point is 00:20:12 That is what the messaging from the government should be. Incentivize people to want to get this thing. Instead, they're doing the opposite. Here's one of the reasons why what's coming our way. Israel has a green badge system. you would think that Israelis would stay away from badges, especially color badges. But if you get your vaccination, you get a badge and a QR code. And you can scan it and you can go do whatever you want.
Starting point is 00:20:45 If you've recovered from it or had the vaccine, okay. But that is coming. But that is also a way to track you. Now, remember what they said about the $15 minimum wage. They don't want some businesses. That is also what is happening. They are intentionally crushing the middle class, crushing the entrepreneur,
Starting point is 00:21:08 and trying to get them to, A, break their spirit, and B, get on to the government dole, which leads me to a story in the New York Times on the boredom economy. People are so bored. They are sitting. at home and watching Netflix, et cetera, et cetera. They are, according to the New York Times,
Starting point is 00:21:36 I'm getting things delivered within a few hours of ordering them. In terms of how it's affecting the economy, I don't know, but we're wanting to buy more and more and more because so many of us are bored at home. So we're online shopping. So you're bored at home and they're seeing people because it'll be delivered sometimes the same day, you just online shop and stay at home,
Starting point is 00:22:08 which of course, again, helps the small business person, doesn't it? They have accelerated the technological shift and more is coming, and it is a fence built around you. All right, you then. These days, probably the piece of technology that you use. I'm sorry, that's the last commercial.
Starting point is 00:22:41 I need to tell you about my Patriot supply. Slowly but surely, things are beginning to come back to normal here in Texas. No matter what side of the aisle you're judging things from, the truth of the matter is that our area was not prepared for this kind of disaster. We had corruption in our midst. So what kind of disaster in your area are you not prepared for? It's easy enough to ignore these things until they hit, but I don't think you're that kind of person. We didn't have to worry about the shelves on the supermarkets, which were literally bare.
Starting point is 00:23:17 It looked like Poland, mid-Soviet era. There was nothing in the stores here. Please check out my Patriot Supply. The food will stay fresh, up 25 years in proper storage.

Starting point is 00:23:42 Don't forget to watch Radio Hall of Fame member Glenn Beck on blazedtv.com slash Glenn. The promo code is Glenn. You'll save 30 bucks off your subscription to Blaze TV. John Kerry has come out on Friday and said the record cold temperatures we're seeing global warming. I don't know how that works. But the guy who flies on private jets and has a mega yacht and several mansions, but he's different than all of us.
Starting point is 00:24:18 He says it is growing too late. We now only have, write this down on your calendar, Stu. Now we have John Kerry giving us nine years. So we have an official new clock, a new countdown, nine years to fix this. So, okay, we got that down. We got it down. No problem. We only have nine years to fix it, and that's why it needs to be a cram down.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Now, some would say that, no, no, I don't think I'm going to buy that. Some would say, no, I don't think the cold weather is because of global climate change, because Texas has had this kind of cold weather before. It happens from time to time. You know, but maybe it's just me. But the world is waiting for America. Even though reports now come out that about 230 miles east of Moscow, there is a pack of dogs that have been discovered that their fur is a bright blue.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Now, it could be that they've been hanging out around the chemical plant, but Moscow doesn't know. They have no idea. It may be an entirely new species of dog that is bright blue. But remember, America is the crap hole that is holding the rest of the world back. Joe Bastardi is with us, and he is the chief forecaster at Weather Bell. And also the author of the weaponization of weather in the phony climate war. Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy. Guess what he's going to say.
Starting point is 00:26:10 Hi, Joe. Hi, who would ever thought, hi, Stu, hi, Glenn, hi, Pat. Hi, everybody. You let in with John Kerry. And I'm like, oh, man, you're just like waving a red flag. Who would ever thought that John Kerry could be an advertisement for my book? Right. The whole book just counters that kind of, there's actually a chapter on that, the weaponization of the global temperature.
Starting point is 00:26:41 And, you know, I just, I'm watching these statements and I can't believe it. Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe. We only have nine years now. And I know we had 10 years about 15 years ago. But this time, we now have nine years to solve this thing. otherwise we're doomed. We're doomed. And you saw what happened in Texas, right?
Starting point is 00:27:06 Yeah, you better believe I saw what happened in Texas since we were, my company was way out in front of it. You know, we have major clients in Texas construction companies. And on February 10th, you know, as publicly as I could, and as many people I could contact, you know, my dad used to say, if you have to tell someone you're good at something, you can't be that good at it. But not everybody follows me or whatever. On February 10th, we said the winter equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane, most five-day extreme winter weather event in Texas history. And I actually put the maps of 1890 on that infamous outbreak in 1899. By the way, I'd like to question Senator Kerry.
Starting point is 00:27:55 How did that happen? 1899 with that outbreak and then the 1900 Galveston hurricane, you can't get more extreme than those type of swings that were going on back then. And the only thing I could say is that it must have been the horses that were adding whatever they were. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, the methane. So wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:28:16 If I'm not mistaken, didn't you call the state officials and say, hey, guys, prepare, here it comes. Well, what happened was, you know, I have conference. and one of the contacts is Sean Hannity who forwarded my book. And, you know, I was mailing Sean and everybody way in advance. And Sean called Governor Cruz or Senator Cruz and Governor Abbott. And Friday night, I got a call from Senator Cruz. And we talked for about a half hour.
Starting point is 00:28:49 And then we talked with Governor Abbott. And then the staffs of both staffs of Senator Cruz's staff, Saturday morning to really try to get them ahead. But by that time, it was sort of too late as far as what the state could do. You needed a response starting four or five days away. I actually tweeted that, Glenn, and this was the middle of, it was on Wednesday, I tweeted that there should be a federal response the same way as preparation for a hurricane goes, a winter type response, getting that equipment in there, understanding that we were going to have the kind of freeze-ups we were going to have. And, you know, Saturday morning I was digging into the Texas newspapers, and I realized that they really didn't get it.
Starting point is 00:29:37 They were saying, oh, it's going to be cold, but we've had these kind of things before. This was completely, it was 1899. It was different from 83. 83 was a little bit colder in many places, but not as much snow in 83. the 83 outbreak. Now, I know all this stuff because I have no life except the good Lord above, my family, and the weather. So I go in and dig into all these maps. My father's a meteorologist. He taught me the foundation I stand on today was built yesterday to reach for tomorrow. So if I know yesterday, if I see maps from yesterday, I say, wait a minute, that's showing up again.
Starting point is 00:30:17 Guess what's going to happen? And the interesting thing about this is I do this because I love it. This is what God made me to do, so I'm going to do it as hard as it can. And the second thing is it benefits my company, because what happens is everybody is just looking at the computer models and consensus, and there so many great forecasters out there. But if you can add something more, something different, and help people out with that, you add value to the product, and then you see what happened. All right. So one of the things that you added, you said the three previous big freezes predicted this one. Is that just from the maps, the computer models and the...
Starting point is 00:31:01 Well, yeah, there's certain things that go on. There's certain signs that go on. For instance, a week before the freeze, I have a couple of who are not going to say their names. They're meteorologists in Little Rock, Arkansas. On Saturday night, after I got out of church, we had a big map discussion. They called me up and we were talking about this. This is a week before. And here's what they were confronted with.
Starting point is 00:31:23 They said, Joe, we're reading what you're saying. You're referencing 83. You're referencing 1899. None of the computer models are predicting those numbers. You know, they were all 50 and a low of 35 and things like that. And so we went over the whole thing. And there's a certain type of way that Texas gets really cold. You need the ridge of high, the Arctic ridge of high pressure, run from Montana down to Midland.
Starting point is 00:31:48 And what happens is, it's a certain type of way that Texas gets really cold. It's high pressure that actually causes Texas to get brutally cold. You get the buildup of low-level cold, dense air in the northern plains, and it oozes southward. There are these small pulses that come in. And one of the biggest things that was going on, folks, was that the run-up to this, the Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday period, the computer-generated numbers were b-hour-fitting one day away.
Starting point is 00:32:14 They were predicting a higher-fifteen or B-40, higher-40. It would be-48. And what happens is if you're, let's say you're automating your load estimates, if you're an energy company, and you're saying, well, we're going to use this computer model says it's going to be 50. Well, guess what's going to happen if you're in Dallas is there's going to be day after day after day of buildup of error? And then what happens when the real cold, the strongest. So how can our models be this wrong and yet they say they can predict what's coming, you know, in nine years? They can't. They're tools. And I talk about that in my book. You know, I think people should get the, you know, and I know it sounds like I'm shamelessly plugging the book, but it's almost as if the book was written for what's going on now. I didn't know Joe Biden was going to be president when I wrote that book, right? And yet, I wrote it because I felt there was something to say and alert people to about the weaponization of the situation. Now, the models of tools to use. See, they're not the answers.
Starting point is 00:33:20 They're ways to get answers. They're outstanding ways to get answers. But you've got to know, based on what happened in the past, in comparisons, how to use them and when to use them. And it's a matter of waiting. It's a matter of what we call attribution. And that's the problem with the climate. They're the guys on the climate side of the issue. I see what they're saying.
Starting point is 00:33:41 A lot of good people on that side of the issue. They've done great research. I read their stuff all the time. I want to know what they know, not what I know. Now, I can't increase what I know unless I get from someone else. So what happens is they look at one thing and put all their eggs in one basket. When you have all these models, all these what we call analogs of the past, the physical drivers of the atmosphere at that time,
Starting point is 00:34:07 you have to decide as a human being, as a forecaster, try to do a service for your client or whoever, how to weight them. Is this stronger than this one? How do you blend them together? And that takes a lot of dirty work. You know, there's a saying that will, everybody has a will to win, but the will to prepare to win is what counts. And it's preparation.
Starting point is 00:34:30 It's no different. I used to wrestle with Penn State. It's no different than what we were taught on the wrestling mat, except we do it with the weather in my company, where it's just constant, constant looking at things. So anyway, Joe. I hope that doesn't sound too pop. No, it doesn't.
Starting point is 00:34:45 Thank you, because I know your record. it doesn't. Joe Bastardi, his book is called The Weaponization of Weather in the Phony Climate War. Probably a really good book to bone up on because we are entering a new battle and a new era. And it is, this one is powerful. This one, they say it is going to be done. And we will be in a Green New Deal. The weaponization of weather in the phony climate war. Joe Bastardi, thank you so much, Joe. You know what's worse in the beginning of the house selling and house buying process?
Starting point is 00:35:26 The end of it. Because if you don't do it right on the house selling end, you're going to end up with a lot less than your house is worth or might be worth. If you don't get the right real estate agent, on the buying end, you don't want to be on the end with getting a house that you thought you really wanted and then you got ripped off with it or the house that you settled for. All of this and more is why you should check out real estate agents I trust. It's a free service to you that I started with my brother a number of years ago because I got tired of the norm of not knowing how to find a good real estate agent.

They have a team of professionals who are going to propel your home buying and selling process to success. It's real estate agents. I trust.com. That's real estate agents.

The Guardian has reported now that NHS figures, this is from Great Britain, released last week, show that in the five weeks since the third lockdown began, COVID-19 accounted for 65% of deaths of people with learning disabilities. 65% of deaths learning disabilities from COVID. Office for the National Statistics show that the rate for the general population was only 39%. So what's going on here?
Starting point is 00:37:08 Well, that was the question that the England's Care Quality Commission looked into, and they found that nurses, doctors had put, do not resuscitate orders on the charts. So if you had a learning disability, you didn't get resuscitated. That may be part of the problem when doctors or nurses are putting that on your files. This is phenomenal to me, if true, if true. It's again people who think they know better. They think they know who's worthy, who's not, and they decide for them.
Starting point is 00:38:07 You're not worthy of living you are. This is a progressive model. It's a socialist model. model, but it is also a model that we warned you about when there's shortages of care. When there's shortages of care, somebody has to make the decision on who lives and who dies. And people say, well, that's not fair. They were doing it with money. Okay, it's not fair.
Starting point is 00:38:36 But is it fair to do it because people have learning disabilities or they're mentally slow in one way or another? Is that fair? Is that what we should be doing? When there's shortages, people have to make those decisions. And I know money's not fair, but at least some handicapped people will have money or their families will have money.
Starting point is 00:39:09 And so you're not going to weed all of them out because some government bureaucrat says, you know what, they're not worth saving. Not to mention, of course, when wealthy people purchase things early in their cycle or when they're expensive, they wind up paying for other people to use them later on. No, that's not. Makes the technology cheaper.
Starting point is 00:39:27 We know this from everything from big screen TVs. Do you remember your first big screen TV? Shut up. Yes, I do. Glenn paid more than the entire GDP of Madagascar for flat screen TV. My wife did. It was a Sony Trinitron, the first flat screen to come out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:44 She got it from my 40th birthday. And it was remarkable. Remarkable. It was $10,000. $10,000. I looked at her and said, no TV. And she said, turn it on. Pat came over a lot and we just, you know, watch TV a lot.
Starting point is 00:40:04 But now you can get a TV that's double the size with more features and higher quality for $400 at Walmart. Yeah. That wasn't even a, that wasn't, that wasn't, that wasn't high definition. That was standard high definition No that was standard definition I mean that's crazy But again like you know you could say back then Be like oh well only people like Glenn Beck can afford this
Starting point is 00:40:26 It's not fair Well it became pretty freaking fair pretty freaking fast It did It did and you know look I you know This idea that socialism is going to solve these things I mean we've seen how many times are going to be proven that that's not the case You anti-collectivist What do you know?
Starting point is 00:40:41 You anti-collectivist Yes that's exactly what I am ever since he tried rough greens for the first time my dog uno is a completely different dog and i hear the same story from person after person who has tried it and it's not dog food it's something you take just a little measuring a spoon and you just put it and mix it in with the food put it on top and the dogs love it love it and it is full of probiotics and minerals and vitamins all of the stuff that your dog needs all the stuff that you need it's not in, especially kibble food.
Starting point is 00:41:17 My dog was easy. First time he tried it, he loved it. However, some dogs don't love it. The inventor or the scientist behind Rough Greens doesn't want that to stop you from giving it a try. So he's going to give you the first bag for free. So you can try it out with your dog. Make sure that they love it.
Starting point is 00:41:37 All you have to do is pay for shipping. And once you pay for shipping, they'll ship the bag to you for free. I just ask them. How people who have put this on the dog food for a couple of months, maybe three months, how many of them cancel afterwards? And he's like, when the dog dies. I mean, it does make a difference and you will see it. Just try it. There's an amazing thing happening with our churches all over the country and really all over the world.
Starting point is 00:42:41 In Canada, there was a pastor named James Coates. He was preaching. He was supposed to only have 15% of the congregation, but he said, I can't. I'd be violating my oath to serve and preach to anybody who wanted to listen. So I'm going to preach on Sunday. Well, people came. He was ticketed. The next Sunday, they came back, they arrested him.
Starting point is 00:43:08 He's in a maximum security prison for preaching and not crazy stuff, just preaching. maximum security prison, no bail, and solitary confinement. What are our governments so afraid of? What is really going on? We talked to his attorney in 60 seconds. So if you live anywhere within a day's drive of where I live, you've probably been living like you were in a Siberian gulag in the past week. We have power.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Sometimes you have drinking water. Sometimes you don't. Do we have food? Here's a real question. How would you have been fixed for eating if this would have happened to you? Even if you had to cook over the fire, you built in the middle of your living room, were you eating well? We were. We had Omaha steaks.
Starting point is 00:44:06 Breakfast, lunch, dinner, open the freezer. Or, in our case, we took all the stuff in the freezer and we put it out in the snow. You could grab a steak and Uno found some of the assignments. that were sent from, and I'm really, anyway. Omaha Steaks, they're shipping now. Don't get stuck without really great food in the house. They have an unbelievable assortment of steak and chicken, fish, side dishes, desserts, something for everybody. You want a great deal.
Starting point is 00:44:37 Look for their butcher's bestseller package, full of burgers, pork chops, sausages, desserts, and so much more from Omaha Steaks. type in Beck in the search bar for this special offer and order the butcher's bestseller pack today. You'll save over 50% plus you'll get four free chicken breasts and four free burgers. That's Omaha Steaks keyword Beck. James Kitchen now joins us. He is a lawyer with Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms, something that is relatively new. It's about 10 years old and it's a voice for freedom in the courtrooms of Canada.
Starting point is 00:45:22 and he is here to talk to us about Pastor James Coates, who is now, is he still in maximum security? He is, yeah, he's in the remand center in Edmonton. And who goes to that prison usually? Well, people who are awaiting their trial, right, which is what he's doing right now currently. That's what we refer to it as a remand center. So, you know, I think there's a wide mix, certainly his cellmate. was coming off of some sort of drug. I think it may have been meth for the first day or two.
Starting point is 00:46:00 He was in the cell with coats. So I can imagine there's a wide range of guys in there. And was he in solitary confinement for a while? Well, I don't know if I'd quite call it that. I mean, what was going on is that he wasn't allowed to have any visitors so he couldn't see his wife. He was only let out for 40 minutes a day, and he wasn't allowed to have any normal social interaction
Starting point is 00:46:23 with anybody except, of course, of Somay. The reason for that is, is, of course, the 14-day COVID, you know, isolation restrictions. Prisoners coming in. So that's not, like, normally in the prison, you are able to receive some visitors, and you have some, you have some time out with, in a common area with some other prisoners.
Starting point is 00:46:41 He's not getting that because of the COVID restrictions, not because of any other reason. So, I mean, totally, you can find it probably isn't quite the word, but it certainly is certainly taxing. Don't we get those 40 minutes out? And I'll be able to see it. have any visitors. So what is happening? Why was he arrested? Tell us the story. Church is that not only believe they should all meet together at the same time on a morning,
Starting point is 00:47:10 but are going to do it even when the government says not to because, you know, they, first of all, I mean, they don't believe in the science behind it. They don't think it's a justified violation of their rights because they don't think there's scientific evidence to back it up. but but um you know it's also violation of the religious beliefs right because if they they follow scripture and scripture says we are all to meet and meet in person not over zoom so that we can you know pray together sing together do baptism together have the lord supper together etc etc so his church meets at its full normal capacity and he's the head pastor he presides over that service most sundays so because he was at that capacity and not at 15% which is what it's supposed to be
Starting point is 00:47:52 here in Alberta. He did that for several months, and eventually he was, he was arrested and released on a Sunday after service. Given an undertaking by the police, he refused to sign that undertaking. So he refused to agree with it. There was no real undertaking. However, the next Sunday, he held church again, and the police asked him to turn himself in, and when he did, they charged him with breaching that undertaking, and that led immediately to a bail hearing. Now, they also charged him with, with breaching public health measures, but that was kind of the key charge there because that's the only one that's a criminal. And so that led to a bail hearing. At the bail hearing, he was released,
Starting point is 00:48:30 but he was released with a condition. And the condition was that he stopped breaching the public health orders, which he couldn't do, of course, because that would mean now church would have to be at 15%. So because he wouldn't agree to the condition, he had to be held in jail. Now, are they doing this to business people? Well, they haven't been many business people in jail. You know, I have a lot of experience with this now, but I can tell you there's a lot of tickets. There's a lot of attempts by the local health authority to close down the businesses.
Starting point is 00:49:01 There's been some court applications and some court orders, but they haven't actually arrested and tried to throw any business owners in jail yet. So you would think that business owners don't have the standing that a church would have. I mean, I'm trying to remember what your Bill of Rights is called up in Canada. It's not as strong as ours, but ours is worthless right now. But you have protection for speech and for religion, right? We do, yes. It's called the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms,
Starting point is 00:49:37 and it's the portion of our Constitution where our civil liberties are protected. And Section 2A protects freedom of religion and 2B protects freedom of expression, as you said. to see protects freedom of peaceful assembly, which is, of course, also being exercised on the Sunday morning by this church. Yes, we, similarly to you, we have these protections. They're not worth much unless the court has a will to enforce them, unless the government has any sort of will to respect them. They're not worth much, unfortunately. So that's the situation we face. And yes, the pastor would have more rights than a business owner. So why was he singled out, do you think? That's a good question.
Starting point is 00:50:19 I, hmm, you know, he's been doing this for a long time. It's been three months that he has been, you know, just saying, look, I serve Jesus, not the government, and my church is going to continue to do church as we see as best for our people. It's the most loving thing that we can do for our people. And has it actually been? Has there been extreme breakouts among his flock? No, there hasn't been any. There hasn't been any.
Starting point is 00:50:45 I can only say that perhaps the government is. is after three months of him doing this, has kind of just, you know, they said enough enough. We got to, we got to do something about this. But wait, there hasn't been any outbreak of COVID in his congregation.
Starting point is 00:51:01 And while he was being arrested, aren't the numbers going dramatically in the opposite direction? I mean, shouldn't they be easing up on these restrictions? Because the numbers were going way down, were they not? Well, I mean,
Starting point is 00:51:15 that's the elephant in the room. are the restrictions about politics, or are they about safety and health and medicine and science and facts, right? So, I mean, you know, this is a church of 400 members. They've had no outbreak of COVID. Nobody has died of COVID, but they have had somebody died of the lockdown measures. They have somebody die prematurely because he couldn't get his cancer treatment. So, yeah, no, this isn't, you know, this isn't ultimately, in my opinion about science, facts,
Starting point is 00:51:43 medicine, evidence, safety. Not about anything but politics, right? So, because if we did, if we did actually just care about trying to keep people safe or public health or what have you, then if you had a church that was open full on for three months and had no outbreaks and no issues, you'd leave them alone. Yeah. Obviously, it's working. Obviously, the government is wrong about their restrictions on churches. Obviously, it's working, and obviously they're fine, and maybe we should actually go worry about the nursing homes where the problem really is.
Starting point is 00:52:11 That would be a reasonable approach, but that's how politics works. So if it's politics, do you have faith that the court is not tangled in politics? Here in America, it is. Well, I mean, where is it not, right? I mean, of course my faith is not solid. You know, I certainly hope and look to the courts for them to think independently, for them to fulfill their role to be an effective, check on government power, an effective balance on that, to be a sober second thought and to not
Starting point is 00:52:51 merely accept everything the government says, but to actually critically analyze whether or not it's true. I would hope for that. But so far in Canada, I've seen very few instances of that happening. Most of what I've seen is the courts simply rubber-stamping government measures. It's terrifying. Yeah, it is. So what can people do to help? Well, first of all, Did they, the church, I assume, was going again yesterday. He was still in prison.
Starting point is 00:53:20 They had another pastor, and was he arrested or fined? He wasn't. Interestingly enough, for only the second time in three months, the public health inspectors did not show up. And the local law enforcement were in the area, but didn't even enter the parking lot. That was interesting and surprising. The church was certainly prepared for, you know,
Starting point is 00:53:42 the hammer to come down. and so it's hard to know what they're thinking, but it says volumes that that nobody showed up. The church had a large number of people there. In fact, they had to turn people away, just to be in accordance with their normal 100% fire code for actual safety.
Starting point is 00:54:02 They had to turn some people away who kind of stood around outside and listened to an outdoor speaker to the service because they didn't want to leave. They're so happy to be there. So it was interesting. So what can people do to help? Well, you know, I think the most important thing people can do is to stop self-censoring. Now, obviously, some people agree with this.
Starting point is 00:54:22 They agree with the lockdowns. But for the growing number of people who don't, it's important on an individual level that each one of them stand up and be counted and speak out. And if they agree, disagree with it, to say so, right? And to take some action, peaceful action, of course. but actually say, no, this is wrong, and I'm going to do something about it. I'm going to let my politicians know,
Starting point is 00:54:44 and I'm going to start talking to people I know, and we're going to start, you know, living life and not believe in this stuff anymore, and we're going to say so. That's the biggest thing, right? We've got a lot of people who disagree with it quietly. They don't say anything, and then there's just a few people like Pastor James Coats,
Starting point is 00:54:59 and then the government tries to single them out and take them out, but if all the people who disagree in the post it stood up and said, we're done with this, we're tired of being governed and policed in this way, They were tired of our rights being taken away, then this thing would start to crumble. Well, I will tell you that that would be the easiest thing. I know that Pastor Coat's wife said over the weekend that don't stand by the 15% capacity limit.
Starting point is 00:55:24 She said, you know, even though my husband is in prison for it, the best thing you can do is open your churches and stand up because they can't arrest all of us. That's right. I mean, she's not wrong. That's just how it works, right? It's still a democracy that we live in, right? It's obviously it's starting to fall apart, but we're not, it's not a totalitarian dystopian nightmare yet. We're on our way there, but it's not there yet.
Starting point is 00:55:51 There's still, it could still be turned around of enough people said, no, we don't want it to go there. So we're not going to let it go there. We're not going to put up with this, right? Yeah, she's right. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. James Kitchen, lawyer for the Justice Center for Constitutional, freedoms. We'll follow this story of Pastor James Coates and please keep us updated. Thank you so much.

Well, tell that to anybody who tried to, you know, buy a timeshare and succeeded. You know, it's, you, you kind of wish you failed right there. Um, if you're one of those people, I'm guessing you've had quite the frustrating time trying to book the time share that you wanted. that you were promised ever since you got it. I bet that goes double for when you have COVID. I mean, the horror stories that I have heard, it's just awful, just awful.

Starting point is 00:57:42 What is happening? And how frightening is it that we're starting to have conversations from people like that that are saying we're not in a totalitarian nation yet? It was insane to even say that five years ago, eight years ago. When I said it, everybody, that's crazy. You don't know what I? now we're hearing we're not there yet there's still time before the door closes but do you see people actually forming and saying I'm opening up my church I don't care arrest us all
Starting point is 00:58:34 there's some of that but it's not as common as far between I will say you know a lot of churches are back in you know in session many of them are I don't think in the United States you have any right to regulate even make it 98% capacity let alone 15.
Starting point is 00:58:52 Now Canada's rules are different and I know there's a reason why I'd rather live in the United States
Starting point is 00:58:59 than Canada and this is one of those reasons but that is there's a you know I have a religious liberty attorney
Starting point is 00:59:05 on with me this week on Studeas America and I talked to him right as the pandemic started and he said there is
Starting point is 00:59:14 very limited ability for the U.S. government to and states to be able to restrict in person services in a pandemic. There is some precedent for it, but it is
Starting point is 00:59:29 basically the shortest time possible. Like the first thing you need to do before schools even, before anything. Open the churches. Open the churches. I mean, only in the most extreme circumstances for the shortest term possible is it even arguing. And if you're opening the
Starting point is 00:59:45 liquor stores and the you know, marijuana stores and you're telling the churches, you don't have a leg to stand on. No, not in the United States. You don't. Yeah. Well, you do. He was, I mean, he's very, he's right. That only means something if there's a will to enforce it. Yes. You know, and our Bill of Rights has been a joke for at least a couple of decades. And I do think as, as time goes on, we will see a lot of these cases brought up during the pandemic that run through the courts and get overturned, that these policies were not okay to have in place. Of course, obviously at that point, the pandemic is likely over and it's no longer a consideration, but at least it may set a precedent for the future because these cases have
Starting point is 01:00:29 to go through. You have to have an ability for churches to meet even if it's dangerous. like the fundamental part of the society when it comes to faith is the government is out of your way when it when you can do all sorts of things things are the cases that have gone through I mean you could do drugs right like the Supreme Court is like yes you could do illegal drugs if it's part of your religion it's that I mean they've gone that far so the idea that you can open up during a pandemic it's not really there's no real argument it's similar to what, you know, FDR did, right?
Starting point is 01:01:07 Like, he would pass all these things and everyone would be like, that can't possibly be constitutional. And then later on, years later, they'd say, yeah, you were right. It was not constitutional. But at that point, the damage had been done. The damage had been done. And that's what's going to happen here.
Starting point is 01:01:21 Hopefully, at least some of the stuff will get blocked out for the future. But that this is, like, there's this thing that the government is doing now. It's with vaccinations. It's with masks. This is sort of absolutism when it comes to COVID. Like, basically, do not take any risks on any circumstances, that's the best thing you can do. And of course, what does that mean people?
Starting point is 01:01:38 What do people do? They say, well, I'm just going to do it. If you're, if you're going to be that ridiculous, screw you, I'm just going to do it. I'm willing to do things that are, um, that can help, but I'm not going to turn my life off for, for this. And it hurts. It has made the situation markedly worse because people now are gathering in tiny apartments in New York City instead of gather going out to parks because the government was dumb enough to say hey I mean now it's cold but even back when it was warm no you can't go out you can't greet you can't gather in parks you can't see your friends don't see any of your relatives if you're going to do it you can't do it if there's no there's no don't have christmas dinner don't have Thanksgiving dinner not hey you know what
Starting point is 01:02:22 try to improve your ventilation or maybe uh do it outside if you're in a warm environment like you know here's one get a vaccine or if you've already had it and you've recovered Just go back and live your life. That's Israel, right? Yeah. Israel is saying, why are they so far ahead? They're saying to their population, as we mentioned, hey, get the vaccine.
Starting point is 01:02:42 As soon as your past this time period, then go back to life and don't worry about it. Now, we can all talk about how they're going to monitor that and everything. There are issues to discuss there, surely. But even if you just said to people, look, we'll do it on an honor system. If you got a vaccine, go out and do what you want. Most people are not going to try to fake out the government and say, I got a vaccine. saying to what I did. Especially.
Starting point is 01:03:04 Well, people will just go out and do it. Right. Especially if the government didn't seem so totalitarianism. Yep. I mean, once they say, you must do it, that pushes, especially in America, that used to at least push people's buttons and they're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you're not telling me what to do. It's true.
Starting point is 01:03:23 Yeah. The more they push this, the more extreme freedom and freedom lovers seem. So all good things must come to a. an end and this includes your car warranty. Sadly. And the time between the day of your car's warranty ending and the check engine light comes on, those are scary days. Probably very few scary days.

Starting point is 01:05:22 How are you? Very good, sir. Hey, what we got going on today is I got an email from Senator Charles Trump, our state senator, and there's some legislation coming up for review this week, which pertains to property taxes and churches. And I was hoping to get people in West Virginia excited to call their delegates and state senators to get this push forward.
Starting point is 01:05:55 What it is in Hampshire County and in Putnam County right now, the tax assessors of those counties are threatening to pull the tax exempt status from churches because they are going to allow other nonprofit entities to use their building. And in accordance with the code, that would change the use of the building status. So like, for instance, in Hampshire County, they wanted to allow a Christian school, which doesn't have a place to meet right now, and is just getting started to meet in their building. And so the tax assessor said, if you allow that,
Starting point is 01:06:37 Christian school, which is separate from the church of the own tax-exempt organization, to meet in your building, that will change the use of your building, and you will come under property taxes under a commercial rate, which would be about like $33,000 or something a year, and you'll lose your tax-exempt status because of that. In Putnam County, that's already happened, Church in Putnam County was allowing non-profit organizations to utilize a large camp that they have down there for like, you know, disabled veterans and
Starting point is 01:07:17 disabled children, things like that. And they were charging a small fee because, well, the camp doesn't run itself. They don't have their wherewithal to pay for the upkeep of that whole camp. So they were charging a small fee just to cover cost. And they thought, well, that's okay because both entities are nonprofit tax exempt, but the tax professor there said the same thing. Nope.
Starting point is 01:07:40 Changes the use of your property. And so they've been fighting for about three years now in our courts trying to get it fixed and trying to get it understood. And so we we called our state legislatures and this so happens that Mr. Trump happens to be a lawyer and we sent him the information. He looked at it. No, they have standing. unless we change the law, then it's not going to work. So right now they're in the process of submitting legislation to change that article in our law. I hope that people in West Virginia are paying attention to this. This is going to be happening more and more often.
Starting point is 01:08:23 And here's the thing that is going to sound really, really harsh. First, you're doing the right thing of going in and fighting it, and fighting it on the state level. All of our states, if you believe in the Bill of Rights, you need to get on the phone with your state senators, your state house members, your governor, your attorney generals, and you need to say, we must shore this up. We want our state to be a sanctuary state for the Bill of Rights.
Starting point is 01:08:56 that we, if the federal government decides to decimate the Bill of Rights, we will not go along with it. Our churches have status. People have the right to free speech and free assembly. They have a right to protect themselves and to have guns. And we're not going to violate those things. That's the first thing you need to do. And Paul has done that. The next thing you have to do is, if you're a church, realize that your tax-exempt status has been a nice luxury.
Starting point is 01:09:41 But if you start making your decisions based on tax-exempt status, you are going to fall into heresy so fast. You will become part of the problem. So fight it because you want your tax-exempt status. exempt status and you deserve it. And because the idea has always been that our local churches provide services. For instance, first time I went to an AA meeting, it was in the basement of a church. Churches do those things. They let these public entities, these private charities come in and use their building
Starting point is 01:10:22 when they need something because that's where we should be looking for our services. That's where we should be looking for our help. Is in our local community away from government. But I warn you, this is going to come to a place, and our churches are going to be separated quickly. If you don't play by the government's rules, you'll lose your tax-exempt status. They make no mistake.
Starting point is 01:10:53 They have their eye on the right. they have their eye on religious people. I just read something this weekend that lumps religious people in with the terrorist, you know, of the January 6th. That it's these religious people that get all wound up. Really? Is that what it is? Is that what it is? Meanwhile, you are going to see very powerful organizations.
Starting point is 01:11:25 Next hour, I'm going to go into some stuff that's happening in organizations that'll curl your. hair. They are going around the Constitution. And they are going to be part of the oppressors. How dare you say that? Boy, those are fighting words. Glenn Beck is saying that they're their oppressors. He's stirring his audience up. Really? Because I'm just using the same language that critical race theory is using. The oppressed and oppressors. And critical race theory teaches that the only way to solve racism is to punish racism with reverse racism. So I guess you're admitting that you're becoming the oppressor. You have corporations that are working with this.
Starting point is 01:12:19 And let me give you an extreme example. The religious minorities that are being detained in Chinese concentration camps are allegedly being violently gang raped. one woman who has escaped has said that the police woman told her that she had been assigned to investigate reports of rapes and torture taking place at the facility and how the male guards would brag about how they were raped and tortured. The first encounter with new detainees was approximately a hundred men and women who were chained and shackled at their hands and feet. She said she witnessed horrible tragedies, women crying loudly. Now, this is a woman who got out of China and was part of the prison system. She was there.
Starting point is 01:13:19 She said, I didn't commit any of these crimes. She said, I saw this. And later she was arrested. She was then put in prison and into this prison, and she said she endured nightmares. She said, guards forced her onto a table where they inserted a stun baton inside of her and constantly shocked her until she blacked out. She said there was a couple of weeks that went by after that, and she was gang raped by several men. Those experiences happened several times.
Starting point is 01:14:04 She said they were sadistic and they caused pain and damage to my body by beating and smacking my head on the wall. It was just their daily routine of punishing us. Now, first of all, a couple of things. One, didn't we all say never again? We are following exactly the same pattern that we did in the 1930s. This was happening and what did people say? It's too far away. I can't do anything about it.
Starting point is 01:14:37 Other people said, well, we only have a few words of some people that escaped and they're probably anti-German or anti-Nazi. These guys are probably anti-communist or anti-China. I mean, you know, and probably a lot of them deserve it because, I mean, China said for a long time, these guys are terrorists. We're saying the same thing. the people said in America in the 1930s. Our government is saying the same thing as they said in the 1930s about Germany.
Starting point is 01:15:12 Now, you don't understand it's cultural, it's different over there. These people have done some things that China just doesn't like. It was exactly the same scenario. And what's worse? did you read over the weekend that IBM is getting rid of their medical computer system? Remember I told you years ago that IBM was working on a computer system in New York that was taking all of the facts and putting it in to a computer system where it would be like, you know, big blue, the chess playing. game, that it was trying to use AI and machine learning to do diagnostics. And it was starting to get really, really good.
Starting point is 01:16:08 Do you remember this, Stu? And I told you this is four or five years ago, that AI will eventually become more reliable than your doctor. And you will look at your doctor and go, yeah, yeah, but what does the machine say? Well, that machine was called Watson. Watson Medical. Watson, I always thought it was like, you know, Dr. Watson from Sherlock Holmes. No, no. It was the guy that ran IBM during the Holocaust.
Starting point is 01:16:40 It was the guy who knew what IBM was doing in the concentration camps, sorting so they could pick them up, track them, know exactly where Jews were. Then, sorting and making lists for the Nazis, here's whose house you go to first, here's how you end. end the day. Here's how many were killed. Here's how many were on the train. Here's the train schedule. IBM did all of that. It's a little ironic that all of the medical studies that were done on Jews in Germany, that the medical diagnostic system would be named after the guy that helped the Nazis do it from IBM. The reason why I bring this story up is because Facebook and Google, are in bed with China. They are helping them through social media and through algorithms.
Starting point is 01:17:39 Americans are helping them do these things. And Americans are saying to themselves, well, if it's not us, it's going to be somebody else. Well, then let it be somebody else. We should be standing up for the people that are being persecuted, the people that are being rounded up. By the way, see if this sounds familiar. Spokesperson for the Communist Party, the Publicity Department, said that the religious minorities were not being rounded up, but rather claimed that China was only cracking down on heinous and obstinate leaders and backbones of extremist groups. End quote.
Starting point is 01:18:27 Oh, good. Hey, by the way, that reminds me. We should talk about Garland, who is going to be our new head of the deal. our new attorney general, he's got a thing for extremist groups. We'll tell you about that. Welcome back to spring weather. If you're in Dallas, pretty much the snow is melted. It was 70, 75 yesterday.
Starting point is 01:18:51 We've got about five minutes here of spring, and then it's going to go into a flaming hot desert, and it might freeze, you know, in a week or so. But then it'll be just blazing fires of hell. So whether it's blizzarding or boiling hot, Rectec's smart grill technology allows me to control the whole cooking process remotely. I don't have to stand outside in the cold or the heat. I can do it from an app on my phone or device. It's so smart that if the weather changes while cooking,
Starting point is 01:19:22 it'll adjust to that and continue providing even more heating for the perfect food every single time. Rectec, built sturdy from stainless steel. It's like a tank. It's sleek. it's beautiful. You're going to love it. But don't take my word for it. A, B, compare them. Right now you can go online and look at the latest rec tech, R-E-C-T-E-Q-C-E-Q.com. It's rec-tech. Carlin Borosenko is the psychologist that we've had on several times. She was the one that we first found her after she decided to go to a Trump rally. and she was a liberal.
Starting point is 01:20:10 And she was like, I want to see this for myself. And everybody said, you can't go. They're going to kill you. And she was like, it was perfectly pleasant. She's still alive today. She's still alive today, despite the pleasantness. Shocking. Of the crowd.
Starting point is 01:20:25 Anyway, so she's been on several times. Well, she's on a campaign to stop this critical race theory, this stuff. And she wrote a piece on Coca-Cola. and what Coca-Cola is now training people to be less white. Now, I've always liked Stu's rule of thumb on how you can tell if something's racist. Just switch the subject. Switch the color. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:53 So to be less Jewish. To be less black. To be less brown. Does it sound good when you say that out loud? If it doesn't, that means you know. the initial statement was also racist. Exactly right. And it does not sound good to tell people to be less black. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:11 Or be less Jewish. That does not sound like a good thing to say to someone. No, it really doesn't. So you probably shouldn't tell them they should be less white either. So we have that whole story coming up for you here in a second. But I'm going to run out of time. I, my wife and I are, we got into watching Gray's Anatomy.
Starting point is 01:21:33 It's like a hundred seasons. It's like a hundred seasons. And we're like on the 11th season and we've been watching it forever. But when you're watching it at a high rate of speed, you notice something about what's happening to the cast and what the storylines are. And it is fascinating.
Starting point is 01:21:54 I'll try to get to that next hour. Hello, America. It's Monday. And we're trying our darnness to be less white. I don't know about you, but I'm a little sick and tired of all the white. I'm way too white. You're way too white. Way too white. When I would decrease my whiteness by 30, 40% minimum. Today, I hope. And then in the future, I will hope to be the opposite of way. Well, I have to tell you, I'm working towards race trader, which according to the left is now something all white people should strive for. I aspire to. Yeah, you really want to be a race trader. So that's my goal. Doesn't have to be everybody.
Starting point is 01:22:38 goal, but if it's not, you will be destroyed. So, well, sure. We're going to go into the latest on being less white, according to Coca-Cola in 60 seconds. So you have, yeah, gosh, he's so spooky. It's like he's really here, and I know he's not.
Starting point is 01:23:00 He's just reading our mind that Kyle. What's his name? Not Kyle. Kyle. The guy from Star Wars. Kylo Ren? Yeah, Kyle. Kylo.
Starting point is 01:23:11 Kyle. I was thinking Kyler. And I'm like, not. Kyle. Kyle. Kyle. Kyle. He's a traitor.
Starting point is 01:23:18 A stock trader. Well, he is white. You know, Kyle. All right. You have the best pillow that you've ever slept with. If you have a my pillow. The geese of dream sheets from my pillow. The best.

So, Coca-Cola has found itself in a little bit of hot water after a viral social media post revealed that some Coca-Cola employees have completed a racial sensitivity training course that teaches participants how to be less white. Now, Carlin Borosenko, who is a psychiatrist and somebody who is fighting against this crazy, dangerous and dare I say evil, critical race theory that is now being put into all of our corporations. You are going to face this and you need to stand up against it.
Starting point is 01:25:41 She exposed this on Friday, and we're going to talk to her in about 25 minutes about it. But the slides from the course titled Confronting Racism states, understanding what racism means and what it means to be white. It means to be white. Okay. What does it mean to be black? what does it mean to be Jewish challenging what it means to be a racist now they go through the slides and one says to be less white now imagine again if we were to reverse the colors that's how you always know if something's wrong you just reverse the subject and if the if it feels bad
Starting point is 01:26:37 when you say it? And you know, it's probably racist the other way, too. So if I said, you need to be less black, Coca-Cola would like their workers to be less black. Really? Yeah, that would, that, there would be no Coca-Cola. Yeah, it would be no one week from today if they were to do that. By the way, you want to talk about the whitest American Western company?
Starting point is 01:27:07 I would say it would have to be Coca-Cola. I mean, when you- Whiteness? When you think of white culture, Stu, white culture, they're from Atlanta. Do you think that was black culture? No, they were oppressing people in Atlanta. Yeah, that's right. Okay?
Starting point is 01:27:23 But if you think of them, an American company, it's always traditionally been Levi's and Coca-Cola. Now, Levi's is kind of bitten the dust a little bit. but Coca-Cola is everywhere. It's an American company. Be less white is to be less Coca-Cola. Really, quite honestly. I mean, dare I say it. To be less white is to be less oppressive.
Starting point is 01:27:52 Hmm. To be less arrogant. To be less certain. To be less defensive. To be less ignorant. To be more humble. calling white people as a race ignorant can you again shall we reverse the colors on that yeah and see how it works I mean let's just all white people are arrogant and ignorant
Starting point is 01:28:21 what is racism honestly other than defining a group of people based on a negative characteristic right is is is ignorance a negative characteristic uh-huh is is arrogance a negative characteristic? Of course it is. When you define, this is the definition of racism. Robin DiAngelo,
Starting point is 01:28:44 Ebram ex-Kendi, this entire movement of white fragility and anti-racism should be viewed the same way that Richard Spencer is viewed. Yes.
Starting point is 01:28:54 As racism wrapped in intellectualism. Yes. That's what it is. That's what it is. So if you would have Richard Spencer out to talk about his ideas to see if maybe that should guide your company while you're selling fizzy
Starting point is 01:29:09 beverages, then perhaps you should bring out Robin DeAngelo. IBM might have done that, you know, in the past. They might have brought the head of the Nazi party, you know. They actually may. I mean, that's where they were. So we got that going for it. Of course, Ford Motor Company would have done that as well. These are old-timey things.
Starting point is 01:29:28 Yeah, these are old timey things. They would not bring them in today. Right. No, but they are. But they are in the reverse. They are bringing in the reverse. It is exactly the same thing. And the problem is to be an anti-racist, my daughter said to me a few months ago, and I said, I can't answer that right now.
Starting point is 01:29:46 I can now. She's like, Dad, why won't you? It's not enough to be, you know, not a racist. You have to be anti-racism. And I said, yeah, that sounds good. She said, what's the problem with it? And I said, I don't know, but I can guarantee you something. Because, well, yeah, it is.
Starting point is 01:30:04 Yeah. And look, we are anti-racism, but not part of this anti-racist Ebram X. Kendi is the guy who wrote the book about it. Correct. We're not part of that. Right. And so the anti-racist, as it is being sold, is to conquer racism, to be an anti-racist, you must be racist against the white population. So, and that's stated that way.
Starting point is 01:30:30 So they state that it is racism. The only cure for future or for present discrimination is future discrimination. That's Ebra Mexcandy. He's saying it we view there's been oppression, right? And because of that, we must discriminate against white people in the future to make up for that problem, that oppression. Because people, black people were oppressed 50 years ago, we must oppress white people now. That is literally from his book. And that is what these companies are telling their employees to embrace.
Starting point is 01:31:02 Yes. Now, Coca-Cola says, not so fast, Mr. White person. Maybe you, to be less white, should be less certain. The course in question was administered by author Robin DiAngelo, whose book White Fragility has become the staple in many workplace diversity training programs. I mean, that statement in it of itself is the problem. Uh-huh. Like they're just saying, well, basically everyone else is doing it, so we should do it too. That's not a good excuse. If everyone was having Richard Spencer come speak at their company. Would you please listen? Yes.
Starting point is 01:31:38 The description of the course stated the intent was to teach attendees what it means to be white, what it means to be racist. The instruction explicitly stated that to be less white is to be less oppressive and less arrogant. However, all of the slideshows and everything. that's what she said you could do on your own time. Oh. So she wasn't, Coca-Cola was not saying that to be white is arrogant. They're not doing that.
Starting point is 01:32:13 They just hired her to say, this is what it means, and you can find this now on my website. And so a bunch of Coca-Cola employees went out and did that, And they were like, ah, this is horrifying. But Coca-Cola wants you to know. They did not make that, quote, the focus of the course. Like, for example, if you were to bring in Richard Spencer,
Starting point is 01:32:43 a guy who's identified essentially as the intellectual head of the alt-right. Nazi party. The Nazi, yeah, that movement. If you happen to bring him in and have him speak on his love for universal health care. Yeah. or his love for abortion, for example, which are both positions he holds. His love of socialist government. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:33:02 It's shockingly, he's said to be on the right with those views. But we'll ignore that for a moment and say, let's say he came in and just said, you know what, we heart abortion here at Coca-Cola and we heart universal health care. Would it be controversial? Yes, sure, he's got that ethno-nationalist thing going on on the side that he referred you to. But that wasn't the focus of our teaching. He just believes Hitler didn't go far enough, and we should finish the work that Hitler did with the Jews. But that wasn't, quote, the focus of the training.
Starting point is 01:33:38 Come on. Oh, okay. All right. Now, McDonald's is also doing this. McDonald's on Thursday said that it will tie executive bonuses for new goals for diversifying the company and for the first time publicly released Democratic, a Democratic, demographic details of its workforce. Under the new rules, the CEO stands to lose 15% of his $2.25 million annual bonus
Starting point is 01:34:07 if he fails to meet goals to increase the portion of women, blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and other minorities in senior leadership roles. Okay. Okay. Starbucks in October linked compensation. to diversity goals, but didn't provide details on how these were going to be weighed and measured. McDonald's said in July it would launch initiatives to increase diversity, but it hadn't developed yet exact mechanisms to do that. Wednesday, they claimed that it aimed to boost women in leadership roles, senior director and above from 37 to 45 percent globally by the end of 2025.
Starting point is 01:34:51 It also said it would increase the portion of historically underrepresented groups in leadership roles in the United States from 29% to 35% in five years. Black people comprise 10% of McDonald's senior level management higher than the 7% reported by other restaurant chains. Now, what is the population percent of black in the general population? 12? Yeah. 13. So they're 10. So they're doing close. I mean, you know, you get it for 10, 15. Then that would be normal because unless you're trying to do something where you're not looking at merit, because you should pretty much be able to say, I've got statistically the representation of the country. Sure. You know, and I'm not trying to balance it that way. It's just that, you know, they're good people of all races. And this is 11% of the population.
Starting point is 01:35:57 And maybe we have a little bit more because maybe some of our, you know, our franchisees or, you know, grew up in that neighborhood or whatever it is. I would, I would venture to say that anything more than that might be. racist? Were you about to say racism? Because I know, I know that that can't work that way. For example, we hear a lot about the racism in the NFL because they only have like something like 15% of their coaches are black, which of course is racist somehow. Of course, they don't tend to focus on the jobs that, you know, everyone wants from childhood. to play in the NFL, how a country with 13% African-American population
Starting point is 01:36:50 fills up over 70% of the jobs that everyone wants in the NFL. No one ever seems to think that's racist. I certainly don't think it's racist. I think it's a merit-based job. But for some reason, everyone seems to think that's totally normal. As if, I don't know,
Starting point is 01:37:07 black people are inherently better at this multi-million dollar job than white people are. No one sees any racism in that implication. However, when coaches are just the representation level of society, that's a crime against humanity. I've got to shut you down. Making sure I understand the rules, that's all. I'm trying to be less white.
Starting point is 01:37:30 And you are clearly going in the opposite direction. You know, you've shed some white today. You are never. And I've absorbed the white. You are never going to work at McDonald's or Coca-Cola. You never will work there. So take that. Put that in your.
Starting point is 01:37:43 With that in your pipe, Mr. Snottier and holier than thou. Yeah, I will say with as much of the product, I'd be stealing. They don't want me working there anyway. I saw a story in the Wall Street Journal today. The money boom is already here. Wow, this is really great. Apparently, the money supply,
Starting point is 01:38:08 how much do you think is increased in the last year? Probably like a half a percent. Something like that. No, seriously. Of all the money that we have printed, how much more did we print in the last 12 months? I mean, I have no idea. 26%.
Starting point is 01:38:27 26% more money. And that's before the $1.9 trillion bill. And everything else that we've done. Okay, 26%. That's the largest one-year jump since 1943. Ah. What happened then? Anything happened then?
Starting point is 01:38:42 Yeah, it was a nuclear, nuclear bomb. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Anyway, the money boom is here, according to the Wall Street Journal, and the story goes on. It just blabs for a while, and it's like, it's going to, you know, really devalue the money and something about your dollar being worth less. Or I didn't read all of it. I just thought more money. That's great.
Starting point is 01:39:03 May I suggest holding dollars, everything you have in dollars might not be the best idea. trade some of those dollars for gold. It's easy. Protect your retirement portfolio today before it's too late. I believe that you should have 10% of what you have in gold. That's just a good rule of thumb. Now, your IRA, it can all be done with gold line. And you can allocate some of your retirement portfolio into precious metals.
Starting point is 01:39:37 It's prudent. It is wise. Nobody is saying put everything into it. That's absurd. Now, Goldline is offering 6% in promotional medals delivered directly to you with a qualifying purchase for your self-directed IRA or your 401k or other retirement accounts. Don't wait. Please hedge your bet against the money inflation that is coming. 866 Goldline, 1866 Goldline or goldline.com.
Starting point is 01:40:07 10 seconds. ID. I'm just trying so hard to not be white. Hey, by the way, nearly a third of Americans want to break up the United States into like-minded countries. Now, this is a new poll out. They found a shocking percentage of Americans are in favor of the disillusion of the United States of America. According to a new survey, nearly a third of Americans want to break it up and create smaller like-minded countries. Some people say the divisions within our country have grown so deep that we would be better off dividing into more like-minded regions that would govern themselves separately. Do you support or oppose the idea of dividing the United States into more than one
Starting point is 01:41:08 nation? 29 percent, 10 percent strongly, 19 percent somewhat, agreed. They were in favor. Notable differences based on political lines and geography, surprisingly, 37% of independence were the ones most likely to secede or divide the country. 35% of Republicans wanted to secede, followed by 21% of Democrats who wanted their own country of like-minded individuals. Now, I can guarantee you that Republican and Democrats, those would have flipped had Donald Trump won the election. All these polls wind up being affected by who's president.
Starting point is 01:41:50 So, Stu, see if this rings an old bell. The proposal now is to divide the U.S. into five regional unions based on geography and political affiliation. The Pacific, California, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, and Alaska, Mountain, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, Arizona, New Mexico. the South, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Then the Heartland and the Northeast. Gee, I'm trying to remember. We'll have to check back on this tomorrow. Who was it that said we were going to break up in five regions?

She has now committed herself to combating the influence of critical race theory in America. Her name is Dr. Carlin Borosanko, good friend of the program. Hi, Carlin. How are you? I'm doing well, Glenn. Thanks for having me back. So you made some headlines over the weekend. You are the one who wrote the first post about Coca-Cola. Tell me how this happened and what happened. Yeah, so on Friday, well, let me back up one day. On Thursday, Coca-Cola sent out an email to its employees about this diversity training program that they were implementing in which they said a specific course of programming was required.
Starting point is 01:45:25 Now, the very next day, I got an email from a whistleblower at the company who had been talking with their team members and all of them were incredibly uncomfortable about this specific training that told them to try to be less white. And so one of them was very brave and he has watched my videos on YouTube and reached out to me and provided me evidence of the training and I posted it on Twitter. Frankly, not really expecting it to get the reception that it did because I feel like I've been screaming about these training programs for the better part of a year. But thankfully, a lot of people took notice and it's really gotten a lot of attention. Now, Coca-Cola has done some really disturbing things. They are all in on the Great Reset and the ESGs, which people need to watch for. ESG environmental, social, and governmental standards. So the social part is like critical race.
Starting point is 01:46:19 It is social justice. The environmental piece is the Green New Deal. And these companies are resetting. And Coca-Cola has been on the forefront of it. if you look into Coca-Cola's online presence and what they say, their bottling company in Europe actually justifies, says, in order for us to justify our business license, we do X, Y, and Z. And when did we have to start justifying a business license? I mean, you have to be within the parameters, but now you have to do social work.
Starting point is 01:47:00 You have to do training on critical race theory, et cetera, et cetera, to, quote, justify your business license. They're just ahead of the rest of these corporations, I think. Well, maybe, but I actually think that the questions at play here are much bigger than Coca-Cola. You know, a lot of people have been calling for a boycott of Coca-Cola since the news broke. And, well, I think that's all fine, well, and good. The reality is that this training exists on LinkedIn learning. And what that means is that there are probably thousands of other companies out there that are having employees do this very same training. And we already know that there are employees from some of the biggest companies in the world that are actually taking this training as we speak.
Starting point is 01:47:44 So for my money, I think that the story about Coke is interesting just because it's a really large company. But the amount of companies that are already doing this and the amount of money that Robin DiAngelo is making convincing white people, that they are racist is the real story here. So tell me what she was teaching. Coca-Cola came out and said, no, no, no, no, that stuff on, that stuff on LinkedIn, that wasn't the focus of the training. That's how they tried to deny it and say that, no, no, we weren't doing any of that. What were they doing?
Starting point is 01:48:20 Well, I also think it's worth noting that you're quoting Coca-Cola's first statement that was procured by the blaze, but they actually came out with a second statement a couple hours later, which says, oh, no, no, we weren't having our employees do this specific training at all. So they went from confirmation to denial within a couple hours. But I mean, this is very typical Robin DiAngelo training. It's teaching white people that they are every negative, every negative thing in the book. And what it's actually doing is Robin DeAngelo's biggest grievances are frankly with people who are presenting a self-empowerment. that she feels uncomfortable with.
Starting point is 01:48:57 It's when people, you know, aren't afraid to express themselves, aren't afraid to stand up for what they believe in. It's a very specific type of communication style that she seems to have the most grievances with, and she's labeling that as all white people, which of course is not the case at all. And in fact, I'll tell you this, the whistleblower that reached out to me is not white in any way, shape, or form. And they were still uncomfortable with the specific training. So there are so many people that I know.
Starting point is 01:49:26 I have friends in so many different businesses in big companies from, you know, from financial houses to lawyers to architects to show people. And they are, they're all saying they're going through these trainings. And I've asked them, so what are you doing about it? We just shut up. I said that that's possibly the worst thing you can do. And they're like, I don't want to lose my job, Glenn. And I honestly don't know who's on my side. I know a couple of people that we kind of look at each other during the meetings,
Starting point is 01:50:02 but I don't know who's shutting their mouth and who feels like this is the right thing to do. And I'll lose my job. What should people do? Yeah, I mean, it is a sticky situation to be in because even if you ask questions about these trainings, you are at very real risk of losing your job. But I'll tell you this. What I'm trying to do right now is actually I'm working on getting critical race theory banned in state agencies and in state contractors at a state level in New Hampshire.
Starting point is 01:50:29 There is actually a bill right now. I just testified for it last week in the New Hampshire House of Representatives called HB-544, which would ban state money being spent on this type of training. And I actually know from the whistleblowers at Coke that when President Trump issued his executive order that banned this at a federal level, Coke actually put the pause on it for a minute, and they brought it back after Biden rescinded the executive order on his first day. So I think the very best thing people can do right now is reach out to your state representatives,
Starting point is 01:50:59 try to get this banned on a state level in state agencies and in state government contractors, and that'll go a long way. I think we also need some sort of a lawyer action group that can give people advice, or represent people. I mean, I can't believe that if you object to a, you have to be less white, I can't believe that you're going to lose in a court of law. Well, it's funny because I don't know if you've been following the story of Jody Shaw, who was a whistleblower at Smith College, but she just resigned over, like last week, in reference to this same type of thing happening at Smith College. And she filed complaints with their HR offices. And what she was told,
Starting point is 01:51:45 was civil rights laws aren't written to protect people who look like you. Wow. I'd love to see that tested in court because if that's true, we're done as a nation. Yeah. You mentioned that the person who reached out to you was not white with the Coca-Cola thing. I think it's fascinating. And that like how important in the turnaround of this nonsense is it for people who are not white to step up and say, this is wrong.
Starting point is 01:52:18 Because that's got to be a crucial part of the momentum to turn this around. It was with Martin Luther King talking about. Right, exactly. Martin Luther King had a lot of white pastors and a lot of people.
Starting point is 01:52:29 Yeah. Yeah, I think it's critical to the operation because how this is usually framed is that the reason the white people speak up is that they're scared or they're fragile or any of these things.
Starting point is 01:52:39 And that's simply not the case. So I think that everyone who is, this should not be a black or white or brown issue. This should didn't even be a Democrat versus Republican issue, quite frankly, if you are opposed to racism, you should be opposed to things like this. And I have to tell you, some of the feedback I've received from Black people has been, well, Carlin, we were told to be less Black in the workplace for years. And that's very valid,
Starting point is 01:53:02 but that's also wrong and racist. That shouldn't be happening either. And if you're against that type of racism, then you should be against this as well. So tell me, see, the problem with critical race theory to me and this anti-racist thing is its objective is to employ reverse racism. The only way to cure it is to punish those of another race and to have this reverse racism, which is an incredible goal to have. So they admit that that's what they're trying to do. Correct or not correct? Yeah, that's exactly correct.
Starting point is 01:53:45 Yeah, the goal of critical race theory is that racism exists everywhere, and it says that white people put these systems in place in order to maintain power. And the only way to get rid of racism is to, you know, bring the white people down a level, essentially. So how do you argue with somebody who says, well, how can you disagree that white people wrote the rules and this country was, you know, founded by a bunch of white people? well I would say yeah it was founded by a bunch of white people but this country has been all about progress and creating a more perfect union I mean the founders of this country were not perfect men but they were good men and they were trying to do the right thing and even when Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence it was very obvious that he was uncomfortable with slavery and was trying to build mechanisms in to get slavery you know to be outlawed in the future and so I think that you
Starting point is 01:54:35 know we are not a perfect country but we get better and better and better all the time and these policies are simply regressing us back to a place that is that was even before the civil rights movement in this country. It makes absolutely no sense. And I just don't think the people continuing them have thought about what the end goal is. They don't, they don't take into consideration that when Robin DiAngelo says all white people are racist, well, guess what? She means you too. And she means the CEOs of all these companies. And if the goal is to destroy white privilege, well, that means all of your institutions are going to get torn down in the process. And so what does that really leave us with?
Starting point is 01:55:13 I don't think that leaves us much to build on. There are very real and valid questions about race in this country, but this is not the way to fix it. I can't believe you ever thinking that you were, you know, liberal or progressive. I can't believe it. To hear you quote Thomas Jefferson and our founders, I'm just. so happy and proud to be your friend. Proud to be your friend. Well, thank you, Glenn. And I have to tell you, it's been a little over a year
Starting point is 01:55:44 since I went to that Trump rally. I do consider myself a liberal, but I think that I consider myself a liberal in the way that, you know, I'm a pre-thinker. I like a classic liberal, if you will. I'm a classic liberal. I refuse to modify it with that term, though, because I think that the word liberal gets a bad rap, and I want to take it back. Yeah, good for you. Good for you. Carlin, thank you so much. Carlin Borosenko. More in just a second.
Starting point is 01:56:12 Sherry lives in Michigan. She used to have pain in her hips. It was so bad she could barely get out of bed. She spent most of her day not getting up and would frequently drive her to tears. Thankfully, her husband took the time to start researching things to help her, anything, anything. He eventually landed on relief factor. He suggested she'd give it a try. And, of course, she said, yes, she had nothing to lose except for her pain.
Starting point is 01:56:36 She said once she started taking it, it didn't take very long to see the results. Literally, five days after taking it, she started noticing that her pain was severely diminished. Shortly after that, she was completely out of pain. These days, she has no problem getting around. Sherry got her life back. And so could you, please try it. Relief Factor. Go to Relieffactor.com.
Starting point is 01:57:01 Just try it for three weeks. If it doesn't work in three weeks, probably not going to work for you. Just try it. relieffactor.com call 800, 500,883.84, 800, 584. Relieffactor.com. This is the Glenn Beck program. We were just talking to Carlin Borosenko about this training that companies are doing now to be anti-racist. That is so racist in and of itself.
Starting point is 01:57:31 And how important it is for African Americans or Hispanics to stand up and go, this is not the world I want. You know, and it's going to be hard because people have been told be less black at work. You want to be successful, be less black. Now, I think that was wrong when it was said. And I don't, I mean, I don't think that's true now. It might be in some, I mean, if you're in a bank or, you know, and you're like, yo, yo, yo dog. Okay, maybe.
Starting point is 01:58:04 Right. M&M should also be told to wear a suit at his bank if that's where he's working. you're if you're walking down the street and you have a bunch of people all tatted up and they look like thugs like Eminem and they're all white and you cross the street as they're coming for you, you're not racist. You're probably just stereotyping. They could all be missionaries. You don't know, but why risk it? The same could be said. If you do cross the street and because you see a bunch of black men that are, wearing suits or all dressed nicely or whatever, you are a racist. Right. If you cross the street.
Starting point is 01:58:44 You're crossing the street because of a bunch of African American bankers walking your way. Right. Yes, you're probably a racist. And it's the same. I mean, I had that guy on, that white guy from Canada, the rapper. What was his name? We had him on a couple of weeks ago. All tatted up has, you know, nose rings and eye piercings and all kinds of stuff.
Starting point is 01:59:01 And I said to him, you look like a skinhead. You look like somebody that I want to stay. way away from. That's not who he is. How did he take that? Do you take it well? Yeah, he actually did. He actually did.
Starting point is 01:59:16 He's like, I know, I know. But am I, if he was another color, he happened to be white. Right. If he was another color, I couldn't say that to him. And the same people who will tell you like, that's what white people do. They cross the street when black people come nearby. Are the same people like AOC who will say they thought the, they thought the Capitol police were there to hurt them when they showed up to rescue them in the middle of the January 6th thing.
Starting point is 01:59:44 Right. Like we, you know, it's, you know, it is the old school definition of racism to say if a bunch of black guys who are bankers and suits walking towards you, if you cross the street, you're racist. That's old school, though. That's not Robin DiAngelo. Robyniangelo is not saying, what she would say is, well, look in the nearest store window. And if the reflection is white, then yes, you're a racist. that's her definition. That's a new thing.
Starting point is 02:00:13 No, it is the oldest kind of thing out there. The clan made a lot of money. Yeah, I mean, it is. It's just pure racism is what it is. But I mean, it is, it's signing negative characteristics to a group of people based on skin color. Hard to figure out how that's not racism. But every store you walk in is telling its employees that this is the right way to go. And I, I, what, what, what?
Starting point is 02:00:38 we were just talking about and like it's really really important that people of color come out and say this is idiotic it's if white people can rail about it all day long it means very little when people come out and this is an identity politics world it was the christians it was the jews it was the rfk's of the world it were it was the brave white people that helped martin luther king break this barrier you have to have a very diverse group to be able to stop this kind of nonsense. Stand together. This is the Glenn Beck program.
