Starting point is 00:04:31 Holy cow. Here's CNN on the slippery slope. And I cannot believe that I'm sitting here, Jim, in the year of 2022, a right that I was born into a society that had, that my mother had, that my grandmother had, that my great grandmothers in her lifetime had, that if a stroke of a pen, someone can simply say a fundamental right that is within a zone of privacy that the court has said should be hands off for the government. Can you stop for just a second?
Starting point is 00:05:03 Two, I am sitting here. I can't believe I'm sitting here in 1865, you know, and a right that I had to own property. In fact, my grandfather had, my great-grandfather had. I mean, we've owned these. slaves for generations. They've been part of our family's wealth. Let's put it that way. And it's one thing in the 1860s, 1870. Imagine in 1915, right? It's been, you know, I mean, gosh, that's 50 years after. I don't know. Maybe that's, if it was wrong, then you would overturn it. If it's not, then you don't 50 years after. That's kind of the way this works. You know, I can't believe that I live. in a country where we've had separate, you know, movie theaters and drinking fountains, we've had them say, you know, my grandfather, my great-grandfather, and now we're just going to
Starting point is 00:06:05 change that? I can't believe that right to separate but equal is going away. And I remember all of these people on the left back in the 70s saying, you know, this law had been this way all this time. States could manage their own access to abortion for the entire country's history until 1973 and all of a sudden now we're going to change it? That's crazy. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:06:34 This is such a dumb argument. Okay. So she goes on to say, what's next? Can be taken away. There are a lot of things now on the chopping block. And Steve, you spoke about an earthquake. Well, a familiar phrase is a slippery sloth. hope in the Supreme Court.
Starting point is 00:06:50 That which you do in one area could extend to others. Well, fundamental rights include interstate travel, include the idea. Interstate travel. Yeah. At any moment. At any moment. I was thinking just the other day, I don't know if we're going to be able to go from Texas to Oklahoma.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Can we do that? Will they just put barriers up on all of the interstates? And, you know, look, interstate travel has been a really divisive 50-50 political issue forever. You know, people like the Republicans don't want you to cross lines of states. Right. I mean, a small number of people are going to say no interstate travel. And that's, I mean, I'm telling you that and the divorce that has been wanted by Clarence Thomas to get out of his marriage with his white wife.
Starting point is 00:07:42 That he's going to overturn. He just doesn't want to tell Ginny. He doesn't. He doesn't. Well, she's white. You know what. White people. That'll wait white people will do you. White people are bad. I don't know if you know this. I know. And so obviously that's the way he's going to try to get out of it. He doesn't want to tell her he doesn't want to be married anymore. He's going to rule the Supreme Court to make it illegal. So now, so now the slippery slope,
Starting point is 00:08:05 it's coming. And, you know, this was from a boob on CNN. This one is the boob in the White House. Listen to Joe Biden. Radical decisions. If this decision holds, it's really quite a radical decision. And again, the underlying premise, and again, I've not had a chance to thoroughly join to the report. So definitely comment on it anyway. Basically says all the decisions related to your private life, who you marry, whether or not you decide to conceive a child or not, whether or not it's going to have an abortion. Stop, I can't take it.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Well, a lot of people are against birth. Those people that were overturning the abortion rights do not want children to be born. Right. And how many times have you walked into a church where they're like, you come to us if you're thinking about having a child will tell you whether you can have a child or not. It's just like those religious people. Every Sunday. Every Sunday.
Starting point is 00:09:07 That's how the message starts. I don't know about you. I mean, look, at my church, they spend about half the service telling us we have to get a hall pass from them to have children. That's the way it works at church. All the time. Now, he said here he didn't read the decision, which probably he should have before he talked about it.
Starting point is 00:09:31 You think? Because in it, it says this only applies to this particular thing. Roe versus Wade. It only applies to this. So the slippery slope idea, whoops. that's out there. By the way, I love this idea
Starting point is 00:09:50 that just five people are going to make the decision for the rest of us. Five people are going to make the decision for the rest of us. You know, if those five people are following the Constitution, which is, have you ever played Monopoly?
Starting point is 00:10:06 And somebody's like, no. The person who goes second, when they go around each time, they get $700, when they pass go. And you're like, no, that's not what the rules say. Rules, those are outdated. Those were made in 1900.
Starting point is 00:10:26 That's what they say. What? Don't listen to the manufacturer of monopoly. What do they know? They couldn't have foreseen our game. Okay? As long as we're all playing by the same rules, when those five people or nine people, when they speak, we may not like it, but that is law.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Now, they can make bad laws. I mean, actually, sorry, they should not make any laws. They can say this one's constitutional or this one is not. And then they can change that if it's based on bad law. But you have to have the argument. And if you didn't read the first draft, which I don't even know if it's going to become law, if that first draft stands, it all logically is put out. And it is also, they use the words of liberal icons who have said,
Starting point is 00:11:34 this law doesn't work because of this, this, this and this. You have to do it the right way. Okay? That's all this law is. And by the way, I can't believe majority. Hang on just a second. What this law did in the first place, 30 states said no abortion. Now, other states were moving towards liberalizing their laws on abortion.
Starting point is 00:12:04 But what did they do? These nine people decided they're going to take. they're going to take away all of the discussion. They're going to force people to do what they say has to be done. Okay? Because why? Because why? Because they're all talking about the majority.
Starting point is 00:12:28 No, see, this is a representative republic. We hire people, this is the way it should work. We hire people with our votes to go and represent us. us in a world where this works, they actually listen to the people and they enact the things that the people want. That's Congress. Then the Senate is supposed to pay attention to their states, which they don't anymore because progressives destroyed it.
Starting point is 00:13:00 But they're supposed to say, no, wait a minute, hang on, that might be good for New York, but that's not good for Texas. Or that may be great in Texas, but that's not really. right for California. That is supposed to be a speed bump. Then the president has the ability to veto something, not because it's popular or unpopular. He has a right to veto things, according to our monopoly rule book. He can veto if he finds it unconstitutional.
Starting point is 00:13:35 If he says, this is unconstitutional, no, I'm not signing this. then what happens? It goes to the Supreme Court. And the Supreme Court is made entirely for one reason. What is that reason? Why do we have a Supreme Court? It's not to make laws. In fact, its number one job, its main purpose,
Starting point is 00:14:01 is to make sure that any laws that are enacted by the majority do not inflict damage on the minority. So what their job is, the Bill of Rights is not majority rules. That's what the Supreme Court is supposed to do. Their main job is make sure that the Bill of Rights is not violated. And they have failed us many times, i.e. slavery. Yeah, I mean, like, you know, they talk about this with speech all the time,
Starting point is 00:14:36 where like the most important speech to protect is the unpopular speech. No one's going to stop you from saying something that 80% of people agree with. It's the thing that 1% of people agree with. And it's the same thing with the court as its basic function. It's easy to get things through when 60 and 70 and 80% of people agree with it. It's that thing that is still constitutional, is still a right protected by our founding documents and our country. That's the thing that they need to stand up for.
Starting point is 00:15:04 You look at this. First Amendment. Why does the First Amendment exist? Because people are going to say things that other people don't like. And it is only through opposition and debate that we can actually come to any consensus. The press, they knew the press would take on the government. It should take on the government and ask questions. The powerful don't want to answer.
Starting point is 00:15:30 That's why it's protected. Your right to petition and assemble with people. to question the powerful. Are you noticing things? The right for religion. Because the state in other countries said this is the official religion. And so that had all the power. And it put all other religions out.
Starting point is 00:15:56 So the First Amendment, what is that about? That is making sure that the minority or the smaller power is on equal footing and the government and the majority power cannot take these people out. The Second Amendment got news for you. It's not for hunting. Otherwise, maybe there would have been croquet. We have the right to a croquet set. It's not about hunting. It's not about sports. It's about the minority being able to have enough power to be able to keep in check the powerful. If they are violating rights and violating the Declaration of Independence, its proposal of what we are and the rules and laws in our little Constitution monopoly game, it's so you, the little guy, has the power over the king. Same thing with all of it.
Starting point is 00:16:58 It is for minority protection. That's what makes us different. That's why you don't want a democracy, because a democracy will fall into the hands of a bunch of right-wing extremists, left-wing extremists. And once they have power, they can do things like set up a board for speech to be able to say which speech is acceptable, which questions are acceptable. Who's acceptable? What behavior is acceptable? What the Supreme Court did yesterday was very clear. It did not ban abortion. It didn't.
Starting point is 00:17:46 What it did was return the power to the people. These five people, what did this say? That these five people, these nine people, this is what it said. these people, us, should not be making the decision on something so personal that is not in the Constitution. That is up to the people themselves to decide. It was empowering for the average person. It's amazing how dumb Americans have become because of our teachers' unions and because of our media.
Starting point is 00:18:33 and quite honestly because of our political parties. America, you're an idiot. Now, do you want to stop being an idiot? Then maybe you should educate yourself. Before you go on as president of the United States and say, I didn't read it. So maybe gay people can't get married anymore. Oh, what a moron.
Starting point is 00:19:02 You've heard me talk about the Tuttle Twins books before. This is a way for you to educate yourself and your family. They're books for kids, really, their history and the nature of freedom in this country. And they're fun and an entertaining way to learn with your kids. Your kids need positive influences in their life. I mean, really, who is the guy who is, you know, I think he is the Tesla of our generation. He is, he's the guy who. who's really out there doing it, the Edison.
Starting point is 00:19:37 It's Elon Musk and look what they're doing to him. They're calling him all kinds of names now. He's a Nazi all of a sudden. Your kids need great examples of people who are going out and doing it. That's why you can get access now to a new magazine, a monthly magazine from the creators of the Tuttle Twins. Every issue has big ideas to promote personal responsibility and freedom, like owning your own health and education,

Starting point is 00:20:25 Morons. Morons. I disagree with you, Glenn. I, for one, believe that white Republican men should not have anything to say about women's reproductive rights. No, because I can have a baby. I can have a baby now.
Starting point is 00:20:51 All men can have babies. Well, that's true. That's a good point. I identify while debating this as a woman. Yeah, you go back and forth depending on which debate is going on. My point, however, is that I don't want white Republican men deciding reproductive rights issues. which is why I oppose the initial Roe versus Way decision in 1973 when five Republican white men voted to liberalize abortion rights.
Starting point is 00:21:17 They should never have chimed in. They're not women. They do not have a voice. And therefore, abortion never occurred for the last 50 years because that's how you got those rights in the first place. Five white Republican men. That's how that occurred. Yes, there was also two Democrats that came on board.
Starting point is 00:21:38 but they weren't needed. There were five Republican appointees that were white men. That's how it occurred. So if you really want to make that point, let's dissolve all those rulings on reproductive rights and see how that turns out for you. Because you won't even have the several weeks going forward until this ruling is actually announced.
Starting point is 00:22:00 And I must point that out, Glenn, as you said. This has not occurred yet. No, it hasn't. It has not occurred. Yes. If it occurs, it's totally different than what everyone's telling you is going to do. However, we have not seen it occur yet. And I'm, of course, very, very much believe that they could screw this up, that something could happen.
Starting point is 00:22:21 I think that the odds of them screwing it up grow every day. Yes, and that's why they release this, right? That's why somebody leaked it. And, you know, it crossed my mind yesterday. It might not get totally changed, but that ruling might change enough to take some of the teeth out of it too. That's another possibility. I mean, that was a draft. We have no idea what the current one looks like.
Starting point is 00:22:42 So everyone's out in front of their skis on this at some level. And we need to step back and just not panic? Not panic. And also not count your chickens before they hatch. Right. I think that's some good advice if we lived in a sane world, which we don't. So panic. A glenback program.
Starting point is 00:23:02 All right, every day. It seems like things are going from bad to worse. on the inflation front. If you're not prepared for it to go even higher or sky high gas prices and food shortages, hey, have you heard about the price of diesel fuel? Yeah. Yeah, it's over $5 now. The average is like $5.24.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Don't worry, though. All of our ships, trains, and trucks run on diesel fuel. So I don't see any problems coming.

Starting point is 00:24:38 have something? Because this would help me a lot. Do they have some sort of short-term memory problem where let me ask it again because they might do people on the left or in the media have a short-term memory problem i'm going to keep asking that while you get to the phone to tell me yes because i did you see yesterday that vox was now pushing and showing and motherboard was part of this uh the new source for medication for abortions it was a medication for horse ulcers.
Starting point is 00:25:18 So they were actually pushing horse medicine that you would get from the vet. I mean, do they have a problem with short-term memory? Because it's not like, hey, remember this in 1923?
Starting point is 00:25:34 No, this was like a few weeks ago. Right. We've seen the same thing happen with the male-female thing where they're saying constantly that you know, men can have babies for years every day, berating you if you say, you get banned from social media for saying a man can't have a baby, right? Then, as soon as this happens, it's all
Starting point is 00:25:58 about men can't understand. They can't have babies. Wait a minute. Well, what a, they can't have anything to say about reproductive rights. I can be a birthing person if I want. What is, I mean, it is crazy. Let me give you, let me give you something else. A friend of mine sent this to me last night. He said, I've got a really good idea, Glenn. Why don't we just take all of the stories and play Madlib? For instance, go to the ACLU's page today and just go to the vaccine mandates page and just replace vaccine mandate with abortion restriction.
Starting point is 00:26:44 Okay. So here's what it says. This is from the ACLU and all I'm changing are just vaccine mandates and replacing it with abortion restrictions. In fact, far from compromising civil liberties, abortion restrictions actually further civil liberties because they protect the most vulnerable among us, including people with disabilities, people with fragile immune systems. I am quoting, children too young to be aborted and communities of color. Wow. Short-term memory loss, I mean, if it's a problem.
Starting point is 00:27:34 Incredible. It's incredible. Now, remember when, way back in your memory, where they were saying that violence is not the way to get things done. And violence is bad. Here's the New York Times editorial. Roe versus Wade draft decision shows its time to rage. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:01 She writes, her name is Roxanne Gay. This is what she writes. In the New York Times, my wife's stepfather began raping her when she was 11 years old. And the abuse went on for years. and as Debbie got older, she was constantly terrified that she was pregnant. She had no one to talk to and nowhere to turn. Debbie's stepfather often threatened to kill her younger brother and mother if she told anyone. So when the fear of pregnancy became too consuming, she told her mother she was assaulted at school.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Her mother took Debbie to a doctor who said because of her scar tissue she was sexually active and must have a boyfriend. It was early 1970s. A pregnancy would have, in Debbie's word, ruin her life. she's 60 and she's still dealing with the repercussions of that trauma. Stu, does this effect, does the, does the ruling at all affect Debbie and people like her from having an abortion? Does that rule that, that, that, that, that, you know, the ruling that hasn't occurred yet? Yeah, the ruling that hasn't occurred. No, it would not.
Starting point is 00:29:05 No, it would not. Okay. I was sexually assaulted by several young men when I was 12. I've told the story and I'm tired of telling it. The story is not the point. I had not yet had my first period still weeks and months after. Of course, I worried I was pregnant and wouldn't know who the father was. Both of these are unbelievably tragic, unbelievably tragic.
Starting point is 00:29:26 And go to a deeper problem in our society. But I understand the abortion thing. And that is why, unfortunately, and I think to my shame, I hope, I pray that I will have a deeper understanding and I will be able to balance this, but I can't stand for something that I wouldn't do for my own daughter. And I would give my daughter the choice if she had been brutally raped. And she's like, Dad, I can't do it. I would do everything in counselor, but I'm not, I'm not going to force her not to have an abortion. But, you know, again, and it's, those are tough calls. Like I know I I understand that viewpoint. I would also though point out that what this
Starting point is 00:30:18 writer is describing is essentially the Republican position on abortion. Yes. The Republican you know the George W. Bush rape and interest in rape and incest life of the mother and health of the mother when not abused. Now of course there's lots of asterisks around that and how it's utilized in pragmatic terms but generally speaking that is the Republican position on abortion. And that is not something that somebody carries a baby full term. You're carrying it full term. You've already gone through the trauma. Have the baby adopted. Okay. What is the? I mean, again, you're nine months. There's not even an argument. There's no argument. But in some states there are. There are, of course.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Okay, we should defend abortion access not only in cases of sexual violence. All those who want an abortion should be able to avail themselves of that medical procedure. There are reasons that are nobody's business. People should not have to demonstrate their virtue. We're not asking you to demonstrate virtue. It's, I'm sorry, but it's not, it has nothing to do with virtue. It even doesn't have anything to do or doesn't have to with religion. It doesn't have to even go there. You're going to be an atheist. Tell me why it's okay to kill a baby. Let me, let me, rephrases. Tell me why it's okay. If the mother says, I don't want this baby, it's not murder. But if the mother says, I want the baby and somebody would strap them down and do the same
Starting point is 00:31:57 procedure, it would be murder. I could understand assault, but I can't understand murder. just because she decides she wants it, that makes no sense and that has nothing to do with God, that has everything to do with logic. Tell me that a baby is a baby when the heartbeat starts or when it's viable. That's the one that really gets... You want to say heartbeat?
Starting point is 00:32:28 Okay, I disagree with you. If we go to Mars and we find any one... One cell will say we found life. So, you know, you've got a problem there. But let's just say, okay, we give you heartbeat. No, you want viable now. Well, viable, what was viable in 1970 is not viable today. That didn't change from a baby.
Starting point is 00:33:00 It didn't suddenly because our technology is better. So, wait a minute. Is it not a baby if you're in a poor community and you don't have a hospital that can keep that baby alive? Is it not a baby in Africa until 28 weeks? But it's a baby here? That makes no sense. You don't need religion. Anyway, she goes on. The leaked document is a draft.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Abortion is still legal, though largely inaccessible in parts of the country. country. The Supreme Court has issued a statement emphasizing the draft while authentic may still change. Still, it's a harbager of terrible things to come. As many as 25 states are poised to ban abortion the moment Roe versus Wade is overturned. That should tell you something. That's not a minority and it's not a majority. It's half of the country and that those lawmakers are going to have to answer at the ballot box. Half of the country says no. So why should these men force something?
Starting point is 00:34:14 This is not about the speed limit. This is about something where many of us believe that is a baby at conception. Many believe the heartbeat. Many believe you should be able to have an abortion in the first few weeks. This is deeply personal. Why should your choice be forced on me when I'm not doing it because of God? I'm doing it because this is Mangala stuff. Babies can feel pain and you rip them apart limb from limb?
Starting point is 00:34:59 No. No. And somehow that's presented as the hateful side of this argument. That's hateful and radical. Wanting children to be alive. It's also presented as the racist part of the argument. And yet, this has killed more black babies and it was designed to do that. So how are we on the hateful side?
Starting point is 00:35:25 Because I don't need Jesus to tell me abortion is wrong. But you know what? if you hate when Christians get involved, we'd probably still have slavery because it was the Christians that both fought for and against. But the abolitionists, the ones who were, they were instrumental that wouldn't give up. Those Christians are the ones who got rid of slavery. and by the way, it led to a civil war where mainly white men died. Your argument just seems to fall apart. But then this decision is opening the door for social progress and civil rights to be systematically dismantled on the most absurd pretext.
Starting point is 00:36:20 We are already seeing how several states are trying to legislate trans people out of existence. Where? Where? where we've never had a problem as a society other than don't look now the guy behind us is wearing a dress and makeup and he's got a five o'clock shadow okay maybe fringes of society have had a problem and beat them up i don't know people that had anything other than compassion for bruce jenner i don't know a soul that at anything but compassion, we're trying to legislate them out of existence? Stop making America into Iran while you're negotiating with Iran. I don't know where this retraction of civil rights will end, but I do know.
Starting point is 00:37:22 It'll go down as a milestone in decades-long conservative campaign to force a country of $330 million to abide by a bigoted set of ideologies. well, out of that, half of us, more than half of us, don't think that's bigoted. You're forcing us to put our name on a blood document. The people behind this campaign do not represent the majority of this country. You know what? Neither do you. And in fact, almost every poll shows that the left is in the vast.
Starting point is 00:38:04 is in the vast minority. You believe anything over 12 weeks, you're in the minority. Overwhelmingly so. About 65% of Americans oppose second trimester abortion. Over 80% of Americans oppose third trimester abortion. And that's both parties, independence included, everybody. That's not just Republicans, 65 and 80%. Those are, I mean, 80% is among the most uniting debates we have.
Starting point is 00:38:34 have in our public discourse. Very infrequently do you find supposedly divisive issues that get 80% support on one side or the other? And that is the type of thing that the Democratic Party is fighting for every single day. They are fighting for something that almost everyone in the country opposes. I think it's only about 13% that support abortion all the way to the end of the practice. By the way, that's something that the Netherlands don't do. Sweden. So open-minded. They think we're insane and radical for these decisions. Don't let them convince you differently.

Starting point is 00:44:33 I'm going to give you this story here in a few minutes. It is, it's amazing. This is where ESG comes in. They are now saying, uh, you've got to boycott these companies. In fact, the left is already threatening any sponsors of Twitter. You've got to get off Twitter because that evil Nazi. the guy who was their hero forever, Elon Musk, you gotta get off because he's gonna take that into a Nazi death camp. Unbelievable. Look, Patriot Mobile, they're never gonna sign on. They're never, ever, gonna stand up for abortion, ever.

Starting point is 00:46:06 I know enough to know that's not right. You almost got it. What was his name? Anyway, Chelsea, he's now chiming in because he claims to be a woman. Bradley Manning. Bradley Manning. That name would, that one seems like fake to me. That one seems like, no, that's not his name.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Oh, no, sorry. Eli. It was Eli. Anyway, uh, Archie. Chelsea Manning, uh, is now speaking out about abortion and the potential of the Supreme Court, uh, ruling. And, um, he tweets yesterday, for those of you who are just catching up, if you're able to afford to.
Starting point is 00:46:49 it and it's safe for you to do so, you should consider arming yourselves, then finding others to train with in teams. Learn how to defend your community. We may need these skills in the very near future. Huh. Now, I don't know why this person that cannot have a baby. They cannot carry a child. because she's a he.
Starting point is 00:47:22 It's a dude, dude. So I don't know what right this white male has to chime in on abortion rights. But I really want to focus on, is this allowed on Twitter to be able to say, hey, get ready for a civil war and arm yourselves and start training? And then they replies on. is the implication here that overturning Roe versus Wade would incur civil war. If so, does someone have a broad brush-stroke sense of how that chain of event might unfold? Yeah, somebody does.
Starting point is 00:48:01 Ro goes, then the power of the 14th Amendment goes. The 14th goes, so do several other human rights. Civil unrest follows. Wow. Okay. I mean, I've been to the secret meetings of all the white people. we get together 730s Tuesdays on Denny's at Denny's and I've been to those meetings. I have not heard the 14th Amendment Abolishment Plan spoken out loud.
Starting point is 00:48:31 Yeah, they're not going to say that out loud. They're going to order a grand slam. Yeah. And then they're going to say grand slam. They mean 14th Amendment. It's code. It's a dog whistle. It's a dog whistle.
Starting point is 00:48:44 Then Carrie. Lee writes in, I used to be opposed to the idea of owning firearms with no small part of being how much I felt I would be at risk of self-harm from the depression I had before transitioning. Wow, that is, that's really sad. But now it doesn't seem like an extreme message, which is terrifying. Yeah, yeah. I think it probably is. Now the left is online on Twitter talking about arming themselves for a civil war.
Starting point is 00:49:13 interesting because it's happening on Twitter before Elon Musk has said hey you should arm yourself and we should have a race riot so apparently the algorithm is okay with violence on Twitter yet the media cannot handle
Starting point is 00:49:37 Elon Musk buying Twitter at all Elon Musk I guess he you know he misses the old South Africa in the 80s, he wants that back. Reminds me the old Bond movies where, you know, Dr. Evil and guys like that or a gold finger, we're going to take over the media. I just,
Starting point is 00:49:53 my tummy meter says there's something just not great about this. If you get invited to something where there are no rules, where there is total freedom for everybody, do you actually want to go to that party? Can you stop? Yeah, I go to those parties all the time. Almost every party I go to does not send me a list of rules. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:13 I go to parties and they're like, well, I mean, there is one rule. My wife gives it to me. Don't make anybody cry or want to kill themselves. And you never live up to that. And I never live up to that. I break that every time. But do you want to go to a party without rules? Yeah, most people do.
Starting point is 00:50:30 Most people do. Because we have common ethics. Now, do I want to go to a party with anarchists? Well, depends on who the anarchists. is, you know? Penn Gillette says he's an anarchist. Michael Malice is an anarchist. I don't mind going to a party.
Starting point is 00:50:53 They both be pretty fun at parties. They'd be fun at parties. And I wouldn't feel in danger at all. So, so this, of course, Mr. Potato Head, I'm sorry, Ms. Generic Potato Head is making,
Starting point is 00:51:12 once again, just a stupid analogy. How dumb are their viewers? How dumb are the voters of the left? Because do they... I mean, they actually have to believe this stuff, right? I don't even think you're making a judgment there. You're making a judgment based on the way they talk to their voters.
Starting point is 00:51:33 They must know they're idiots. I don't even have to look at the voters and say, okay, they must be idiots. No. The way the left media... speaks to their own voters, shows you they must know they're idiots. You know, I can't tell you how many interviews I did with people in the media, you know, that never got printed. And they would ask, why, why the success?
Starting point is 00:51:58 Why, how did this happen? And I'm like, well, I've been doing it for 30 years. Nobody, nobody in the media noticed because I wasn't doing it in New York. There's, there's number one. Two, I don't treat my audience like they're imbeciles. when I first got into television, they all said, you can't know, that's too complex. You can't do that.
Starting point is 00:52:17 People won't pay attention. Really? Because I think they will. I think they will. I think people are starving for the truth and starving for somebody to tell them what it really means. Somebody to explain big principles. Nobody wants to walk around like a dummy all the time.
Starting point is 00:52:35 And what is this society doing? First, they treated you like an imbecile. Now they're insisting on you being an imbecile. You're not being taught math. If you're in school, you're not being taught math. You're not being taught history. You're not being taught how to think. You're not being taught how to question.
Starting point is 00:52:54 You're not being taught any of that stuff. You are being taught to be somebody who marches in the streets. For what? For anything your leader tells you to do. Don't think it through. Because if you think it through, you might disagree with it. And if you disagree with it, you're out. this is this is everything the left does they accuse the right of doing listen to this some of the most high profile liberal figures have joined together to encourage advertisers to boycott twitter if Elon Musk brings his promised policy of unfettered free speech okay this in America 26 NGOs and advocacy groups have signed the letter
Starting point is 00:53:42 expressing concern about the world's richest man's plan. You know that they don't ever really make a big deal out of Bezos and how much he controls? Bill Gates. Well, this crazy idea, Clinton, that a rich person could buy something that influences our politics. What could possibly, there's no precedent of a rich person owning a media company. Now, by the way, I got that information from Bloomberg. So I know it's got to be true. This is insanity.
Starting point is 00:54:18 Musk himself responded to the letter asking who funds this group. The answer being assortment of dark money groups like George Soros's Open Society Foundation, NGOs founded by former Clinton and Obama administration staffers, wealthy, white, democratic donors and their family foundations. So his takeover of Twitter is going to talk. our information and it's a direct threat to public safety, especially among those already most vulnerable and marginalized. Who's the most vulnerable?
Starting point is 00:54:54 Who is the most vulnerable? The most vulnerable are the people who can't read, who have a limited education, who have been sucked in onto the teat of the government, who has gone through government-funded schools and listen to the lies that are being taught by the teachers unions. They're the people that are out of sight, out of mind that just watch whatever drivel spills out of TikTok. And they're the ones that Kamala Harris can step in front of and say, big country, bad, little country, good.
Starting point is 00:55:37 Or anything else that the potato. on CNN or anybody says, those are the most vulnerable. Those who have an education, even and more importantly, if it's an education, they earned. They actually did it themselves. They did it because they were curious, not because they wanted a piece of paper. Those are not the most vulnerable. Your ad dollars can either fund Musk's Vanity Project or hold him to account. We call on you to demand Musk uphold these basic standards of community trust and safety and pull your advertising spending from Twitter if they are not.
Starting point is 00:56:20 Okay. So who is this? Well, the usual suspects. Policy spokesman for Hillary Clinton's campaign, nephew of David Axelrod, former senior advisor of Barack Obama, media matters. We know who they are, David Brock. and and George Soros and Hillary Clinton's money. Ultraviolet. Who are these people?
Starting point is 00:56:48 Well, they founded the group on the principle that with a combination of organizing technology, creative campaigning, and people power, we can win. Oh, wow. They're backed by several unions. Among them, the American Federation of Labor, Congress of Industrial Organizations, AFLCIO, and the American Federation of Teachers. Isn't that weird? By the way, the other group, Media Matters.
Starting point is 00:57:13 Yeah. Yeah, did you know that they were taking donations from the National Education Association, America's largest union representing teachers? Seems like the teachers unions, man, they are all over this. And then other backers like Chicago-based billionaires, members of one of America's richest family who made their money through the Hyatt, hotel chain, Nicholas Pritzker.
Starting point is 00:57:41 He's 76 years old. He started the Libra Foundation. That's an organization that supports frontline organizations building a world where communities of color thrive. This is fantastic. You've got foreign entities that are involved in funding these
Starting point is 00:58:00 organizations. That's who's doing it. By the way, that isn't just for Twitter. That email has gone out saying you've got to boycott this is ESG you watch Twitter you have to understand if you advertise for Twitter that there's some reputational risk to your company but you choose whatever that letter has also gone out about abortion you've got to stand for abortion and your company has to publicly back it otherwise there's some reputational risk.
Starting point is 00:58:40 America, you're going to be held hostage? Are you going to do it? Are you going to keep paying them? The mob is at your door. And they're offering you protection. You know, you just have to pay this little fee. How odd is it for you, huh? Get off of Twitter.
Starting point is 00:58:56 Stop advertising. You know, I'm just asking you. You know, you're either with us or you're against us. And, you know, maybe bad things happen. the businesses that don't play the game. You know what I'm saying? You know, there's a reputational risk. You're building my button down in the middle of the night.
Starting point is 00:59:15 Just play along. Nobody gets hurt. Go ahead. That is who you're dealing with, America. What's your choice? Freedom. Or in bed with the mob? American financing NMLS-182334.
Starting point is 00:59:35 www. www. nmls. Consumer Access. Our country is facing a very significant slowdown as we move closer to risk of recession. I love this. There might be a recession. You think so? Everything costs more lately and it's not going to get better anytime soon.
Starting point is 00:59:53 I'll tell you about the problem, the real problem that nobody's talking about and that is the price of diesel fuel. It is going to hit everything. You got to be sure you're in a healthy financial position, both for yourself and for your family, which is why I recommend getting a mortgage review from American financing. Now, you're going to get a, I mean, here in the next couple of days, it's going to change. I think this week they're going to raise interest rates again. So I don't know about your home, but your home is worth more now.
Starting point is 01:00:26 Until these home prices start to come down, your home might be worth 20% more. That means you have equity. Can you use that equity to pay off the 20% interest? that you have now on your credit cards. If you're a credit card, if you have a credit card, you're paying at least 18%. Most are like 19 or 199. That is, that's unworkable and unreasonable and it's only going to get higher. While your house is worth more money, call American financing.
Starting point is 01:00:59 See if they can do a consolidation loan and they can consolidate that into your mortgage. It will help you pay that off. Don't go and, you know, put more on your credit card. Pay that off and get this monkey off of your back. American financing can help you. Just call them 800906 2440, 800906 2440. It's Americanfinancing.net. Americanfinancing.

These teachers unions, I'm sorry, but. these teachers unions, if your teacher is part of a teacher's union, you have to tell them, look, I can't, you're part of the problem. You know, if I am, you know, I'm part of, you know, the pharmacist, the young entrepreneurial pharmaceutical Association of America.
Starting point is 01:02:15 And it turns out that they're just funding crack dealers in my neighborhood. I'm going to go to my neighbor and say, you know, I know you believe in small business, but that association that you're in, that's really not about small business. That's about destroying our community by helping crack dealers. And you would know if your neighbor's like, no, it's very important. you could present them with all the evidence and say, no, they're funding the crack dealers in our neighborhood. If that person is not going to loosen their relationship and stop giving money to that crack dealers association, you know, they're not a friend of the neighborhood. They're just not.
Starting point is 01:03:02 Well, it's time we have that conversation with our teachers because these teachers unions are attacking. the parents, they are attacking our schools, they are attacking our children, they are indoctrinating our children. And it is very, very clear. When you see the numbers that are going to these leftist causes, all funded by the teachers' unions, when you see what's really being promoted in our schools,
Starting point is 01:03:35 funded by the teachers' unions, you have to have that conversation with your teacher. Look, I know you, I think I do. I know you. I know you love the kids. But I'm sorry. You're paying for our kids to be indoctrinated. And maybe you don't do it.
Starting point is 01:03:56 Maybe it doesn't even happen in the school. But it's happening all over the country. And I'm sorry, you should not be empowering these people. The other thing that needs to happen is we need to ask all of the politicians running, will you dismantle and close down the Department of Education? Because a lot of the Teachers Union power comes at a federal level. Close the Department of Education. Back in a minute.

Starting point is 01:06:00 Thank you. Subscribe to Blaze TV before Elon Musk takes control. BlazTV.com slash Glenn. The promo code is Glenn. Stu, I'm going to give you a conspiracy theory. Okay. Okay. And I want to you to know,
Starting point is 01:06:24 it's a conspiracy theory. And I, I mean, I don't believe it. Okay. Have you seen the price of ammunition lately? I have, yes. It's high. Okay, it's high.
Starting point is 01:06:38 It's high. Why is it high? Inflation. Okay, inflation is one reason. Yeah, yeah, one. A lot of people thinking they need to get as many bullets as possible. Supply in demand. They can't keep up.
Starting point is 01:06:52 The supply is high. I will say the supply is low. Yeah. I've tried to purchase ammunition. Right. It's a expensive and B, not usually available. Yeah, now that's weird. It's weird.
Starting point is 01:07:03 It's almost like 40% of it just stopped being made or purchased by somebody. Isn't it? It's weird. That's a very specific number. Well, it is a specific number. I just like, in a completely unrelated story, one could say that this has something to do with the Russian ban on products coming from Russia, right? because I don't know if you know this 40% of all ammunition
Starting point is 01:07:33 comes from Russia 40% of US ammunition comes from Russia I did not know that no didn't know that that's a high number that's a same number that you just utilized
Starting point is 01:07:45 when you said it is but completely unrelated okay is it so so you wouldn't would you have a problem with the federal government saying hey we got a ban because that's part of the ban right it's part of the band
Starting point is 01:07:59 Yes, we are isolating them economically. It would be consistent to even ban ammunition. Now, if I told you that that ban is not the ban on ammunition, that's a totally separate ban. That ban started last summer in August. The ammunition ban? Yeah. Before the war started.
Starting point is 01:08:22 Before the war started. What would you say then? You would probably say. I would say it seems like it has something. something to do with something else. Yes. Other than the war you've made. What would that have to do with?
Starting point is 01:08:33 Right. Perhaps the person doing the ban, you know, implementing it. Saw something else. Or, okay. Yeah. I was going to say doesn't want there to be enough ammunition for people to purchase. Oh my gosh. No, see, that's the conspiracy theory.
Starting point is 01:08:49 Okay. Okay. I went down the road. Biden, when he got into office, uh, one of the first things he did right away in August of last year. Mm-hmm. was he reacted to something he was very upset about. Vladimir Putin killed.
Starting point is 01:09:05 Well, no, I can't say that. He didn't kill. And we don't know his Vladimir Putin. Okay? We have no idea. But there was a guy who's very outspoken critic of Vladimir Putin. And he got onto a plane and he was flying. And about halfway through, he was like,
Starting point is 01:09:21 I, poison land the plane. Now, at first, they said, sir, just get back in your seat. and put your mask on, okay? But then they realized, he's just unruly. We're going to have to land the plane. They landed the plane. He got to a hospital, and they found, lo and behold, he was being poisoned. This is a Navalny?
Starting point is 01:09:42 Is that who that is? I think so, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay. So he was being poisoned. Now he survived. But they found out that it's a, you know, it was a poison that, you know, maybe former KGB guys like to use.
Starting point is 01:09:57 That's surprising. Yeah, that's surprising. It's only happened over and over and over. All right. So that happened in August. And Joe Biden was so outraged by it that he decided, I'm going to wait for a year to do anything. And then he quietly put this ban on Russian ammunition because that's, that's, you hit Vladimir Putin right there. Ooh, that hurts.
Starting point is 01:10:23 Oh, my gosh. When you say, we can't buy any of your ammunition. They're like more bullets for us, I guess. And they, that hurts. That hurts. So he put this ban in, but he was very reasonable. He said we can buy Russian ammunition or parts like primers. We can buy those.
Starting point is 01:10:46 If Vladimir Putin, you know, signs a document that says, we're not using chemical weapons. We never will use chemical weapons. plus we're not going to make chemical weapons. We absolutely won't use them, but we're certainly not going to make them. And the third step is we're going to let Americans come into all of our laboratories and just inspect to make sure that we're not making anything that might kill somebody who is against Vladimir Putin. We welcome those inspections. and Putin then has to make restitution to the guy he tried to kill but didn't kill. I don't know if that means pay for the hospital time, which is pricey or what.
Starting point is 01:11:35 But those five things. And as soon as Putin does that, we'll start buying ammunition again. Now, that's 40% of American ammunition. So when you look at the price of ammunition, you might say, hmm, who is responsible for taking 40%. Now, this, I think you can talk to your liberal friends about because, as we saw on Twitter yesterday, they're preparing for civil war. They're starting to arm themselves and say, you know, we should buy ammunition and train in groups of people so we can protect ourselves from this out of control. Well, no, not an out of control government. I guess the out of control Supreme Court. But they won't be able to, I mean, it's going to be pricey. Because of the ban on ammunition, which is just part of the boycott against Russia, which just happens to be not part of the other boycott of Russia. This one happened before. Okay.
Starting point is 01:12:46 That is a conspiracy theory. Well, the conspiracy theory, of course, would be that Joe Biden just doesn't want Americans to be able to access ammunition, which we know is not true because he's a strong supporter of the, the Second Amendment. Oh, he is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. If you remember, he encouraged people to buy shotguns. Yeah, he did and just fire him in the air. Yeah, which is not legal. No, it's not. It's not. It's not. And a really bad idea. But just go out and fire it in the air if you're afraid. Double barrel. Double barrel. He was he advocated a double barrel. Who needs a double barrel? That's two barrels. That's two. How many people do you need to kill? Yeah. That's my question. I mean, that is crazy. What do you think you know, you think you might need more than one
Starting point is 01:13:25 shot? No. No. You never need more than one shot. No. If you have multiple people that come to your door that are trying to do something terrible to you. You kill one and the rest will run. Or line them up. Just wait until they line up. Just kind of keep walking around them in a circle until you get a specific and just go through all of them. Now, I would do that, but if I heard a noise outside and then I went and I fired my double barrel shotgun into the air, then I turn around and I see the guys are already in my house with guns. I would, you know what I would do that? screw what? Fire your other or your other shell.
Starting point is 01:13:58 Write it, you know, do it then. Go for it. Well, what if I shot both? Anyway, we both know that he is a big supporter of the Second Amendment.
Starting point is 01:14:06 Yeah. And there's no way that an administration that is run by people like, um, Cass Sunstein's wife would do anything that might turn the knobs here and there to make your owning a gun. or being able to have ammunition tougher. They'd never do that. That would be dishonest. Damn it, I'm going to say it.
Starting point is 01:14:33 It would be dishonest. It would be going behind Americans back, and they would never do that. Now, let me talk to you about another concern of mine. Diesel prices are a little out of control. Now, you say to yourself, I don't have a Mercedes wagon that's diesel. First of all, who would buy one of those wagons? You know, nobody drives a station wagon anymore. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 01:15:02 I know. Those are kind of out of style. And maybe you don't. But if you have a diesel truck, well, don't have a diesel truck. I mean, first of all right, who drives a truck? Okay. Well, all right. Let's talk about the big trucks.
Starting point is 01:15:16 Oh, they are horrible. Oh, they're always in the way. Yeah, but they're delivering things to us. Well, I have my man Jeeps do it, but go ahead, you little people. All right, so trucks move our products from the port to the trains, to the, from the trains, to the warehouses or the factories. Now, here's where it gets crazy. What also powers the train?
Starting point is 01:15:50 Magic? I don't know. Diesel. that's why i don't like them so diesel powers the truck which is loading and unloading the things on the train and you know what else what a ship's run on you're going to say diesel again it's getting not yeah yeah our ships run on diesel so the ship that is now bringing the stuff from china that we need because we don't make it here anymore that all runs on diesel which is now $5.25 a gallon then the truck that picks it up that's $5.25 and $25.000.
Starting point is 01:16:46 24 cents a gallon. Then the train, which I don't imagine is very fuel efficient, is also running on diesel at $5.25 a gallon. Now, right now as it stands for truckers, that is an increase of 24 cents per mile. Now, I don't know about you, but I don't live that close to a car. train station or a port. So if you have due, maybe your price is a little lower. Because you don't have to worry about the diesel. By the way, it is getting so expensive now to move things that there might be something called supply destruction, demand destruction.
Starting point is 01:17:47 What is that? Do you remember when nobody was using gasoline because we were all voluntarily locked into our house? We couldn't go anywhere? What happened? Yes, fuel got cheaper. Yes, it did get cheaper when everyone was locked into their house. But then what happened?
Starting point is 01:18:14 I don't know. Workers stopped working for some reason. Yes, the plants weren't making any of it because no one was buying any of it. So when we came back online, we had some, but we had to get the plants all working again, everybody back to work, to make more. And what happened to the price? It went up. If we keep going down this path on diesel, I don't know what the breaking point is, but we're not far away from it. on supply or demand destruction
Starting point is 01:18:51 to where people are just not going to be able to afford it. If we don't keep up with diesel fuel, your food rots at the port or on the train or in the truck. It doesn't make it to you. Well, of course it does. Jeeves doesn't drive a Mercedes wagon. Uh-huh. something you should be aware of.
Starting point is 01:19:20 Oh, you know the one thing that's going to make that all better? Global War. Because, right, our ships don't run on deep. Never right. Back in a minute. Life lock, it can happen in an instant. One minute you're sitting out there, you know, wondering about your daily life. You don't have a care in the world.

The Glenn Back Program. gosh, I, if this, if this ruling becomes law, I don't know what I'm going to do. I mean, how am I going to get my abortion? I don't understand this, this idea that it's so arduous.
Starting point is 01:21:17 Again, like, I don't want it to be available to people who travel out of state, but it is available to people who travel out of state, even if this ruling goes through. So, so are hookers? Yeah. I mean, you could go, yeah. Your state may say, hey, hookers aren't cool, but you can go to Nevada. Gambling. Get together with hookers and gamble. Right. And drink. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:37 And then come back to your state. And like, honestly, I don't know. I know about three quarters of women do not have abortions in their life. At least that's the stat. So what we're talking about one quarter of women who even want to access this? And like, honestly,
Starting point is 01:21:49 of the, like, what's a max number here? Is it max? Like, how many, how many does a woman have in her life? Like,
Starting point is 01:21:57 like, to me five would seem high. I don't know. How many abortions do you have in your life? Five would seem like a lot. Really high, like a max number. Yeah. Right?
Starting point is 01:22:05 I mean, safe, legal, and rare would not imply five. I would say the overwhelming majority have one, right? I don't know. Some that have two. I don't know. Five seems to me absurdly high, but okay. Like, so five times in your life, you'd have to take a bus or a car or a flight. Call somebody to.
Starting point is 01:22:27 Which will be paid for by abortion activists if you needed to be. Uh-huh. And you'll have to. Like, I, it's like, it's less arduous than jury duty, right? Which you probably have to do a couple of times in your life. I, maybe five would be a max there too, I would assume. Like, spending two weeks not being able to do anything but sit in a room and listen to it is certainly a much more arduous process. Now, the abortion is much more, as much, is far more terrible than even seeing at jury duty.
Starting point is 01:22:58 And jury duty sucks. But like, the travel is. I mean, it's, well, yeah, that's true. And literally so. Right. That's a good point. I just don't, this idea that it's so impossible to be able to handle this. I mean, in Mississippi, the abortion claim that they're talking about is going to literally convert into a travel agency if this goes on.
Starting point is 01:23:18 And they're going to just bust people out of state or try to support them. It's, look, I'd like it to change more than it is. This is the Glenn Back program. Well, let me talk to you, Joe Biden here for home title lock. Joe, one of the fastest growing crimes in America is home title fraud. That's why we had caves. Nobody stole our caves when I was in life. They're not stealing the homes literally.
Starting point is 01:23:39 It's hackers. They go online. They find the title for a home. We didn't have titles. We didn't have, you know, papyrus. It came out a lot later. I know papyrus wasn't around when you, but now they're online. They're digital documents online.
Starting point is 01:23:55 And thieves take them. They sign the paperwork. My mother used to use the clothesline. And people could come and steal it off the clothesline. It's a little. We're talking about a slightly different thing here. But go to Home Tidalock, Joe. And register your address.
Starting point is 01:24:13 Make sure the White House has not been stolen right out from under you because I can definitely. Talk to the president about it. You'll be in and a minute with my pills. You're the president right now. Make sure to tell them that Stu sent you. You'll get the listener discount. Hometownuloc.com. Hometitleck.com.
Starting point is 01:24:26 We are in a lot of trouble. Could you explain that to me like I was a four-year-old? But I loved this song. Like a Native American chat. I shouldn't see a Native American. Oh, that one. Oh, love my red friends. Here is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
Starting point is 01:25:19 This is the Glenn Beck. Oh, hate that done. Hello and welcome to the Glenn Beck program. This is going to be a fun hour. I mean, well, I mean, yes, we're going to be talking about vaporization, but this is going to be a fun hour. I have Jack Carr on. If you don't know who Jack Carr is, he is a fiction writer, a thriller writer, former Navy SEAL. I mean, the guy is the best.
Starting point is 01:25:45 And so we're going to do our little red cell activity. and can we just war game what's happening with Russia and us and nuclear weapons? I'm just going to war game it a bit. Some of the things that are going on with the best-selling author. The new book that is out is In Blood. Also, the terminal list is coming out as a series on Netflix. Love, love these guys. Jack Carr joins us in 60 seconds.
Starting point is 01:26:19 Yeah, that's a Chris Brat movie, yeah. Yeah, I like Brats, Brats, Italian weenies. Okay, here's the thing. Some causes are not just conservative causes. They're American causes, and we should all be working together toward those causes. One of the great charities out there is the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. They have been around since 9-11. The charity navigator rates them 4 out of 4.
Starting point is 01:27:00 And since 9-11, Tunnel to Towers has been supporting America's heroes and their families. Somebody is lost in the field of war. We rally around them. And if they have kids, they immediately take. care of the mortgage to take the financial burden off of that family. And they do it for firefighters and cops. They also help people who are severely injured. Our heroes need to live an independent life, so they'll help build houses like that. Plus through Operation Home Base, Tunnel to Towers is gifting tiny homes to homeless veterans. Please help them. T2T.org is how you donate. If you donate
Starting point is 01:27:41 $11 a month, that is really going above and beyond. $11 a month will help our heroes. T, the number two, t.org. All right, Jack Carr is with us. Hello, Jack. How are you? Great. Thank you for me on, sir.
Starting point is 01:28:00 I sincerely appreciate it. Oh, you bet. You bet. I can't wait. How excited are you for a terminalist to come out with Pratt? Well, I am fired up. You never know when you go into these things. There's a lot of trust involved because they can really take your material and do anything
Starting point is 01:28:15 they want with it, which is why they usually like to get rid of the author right away as you're not yelling. You ruined my vision. Yeah. But they had me involved from the get-go, and Amazon was so supportive. And I think we managed to get all of that, what people talk about being woke, all of that out of there. So I think it's going to be very refreshing for people that are between New York and Los Angeles. I think we crushed it. And Chris certainly did play in Navy SEAL sniper James Reese.
Starting point is 01:28:42 Antoine Fuqua is the director. I mean, everybody came together. Man, it is dark, it is gritty, it is violent, it is authentic, and I think we're not going to out of the park. What an endorsement. It's dark, it's gritty, it's violent. You're going to love it. All right. So, Jack, I wanted to have you on because something feels wrong with this Russia-Ukraine situation.
Starting point is 01:29:05 And it could, it seems like everybody is prepared. If I were a fiction writer, I would be looking at. all of these things that are happening and I would say, yeah, it's just I'm doing a little foreshadowing. They're starting to build up for war. They're letting people know. I'm letting the reader know. It just seems like we're going places that I don't think would be a good place to go. As a fiction writer and somebody who lives in this world, and I love talking to fiction
Starting point is 01:29:40 writers, especially about geopolitical things, because you can't write things that don't make sense because nobody would believe it. So you have to be based in reality. As a fiction writer, where do you think we're going? Well, if I'd written what is actually happening in the world today, whether it's Russia, Ukraine, it's a withdrawal from Afghanistan, whether it's our own country right here. If I'd written these things 10 years ago, it wouldn't be a political thriller. It would go in the dystopian thriller category, perhaps even the science fiction category.
Starting point is 01:30:15 I don't think people would, 10 years ago, I think if you would have written what's happening today, 10 years ago, you would have been laughed at. I mean, nobody would buy the book and I think people would go, that's ridiculous. It would never happen. Exactly. This could never happen in this country. It's just too unrealistic. That's what the reviews on Amazon would say. But these things are happening.
Starting point is 01:30:40 And in fact, when we look just at Ukraine and Russia, it didn't take, you didn't have to be a genius. you didn't have to be a geopolitical strategist to look at it, apply some common sense to NATO, Ukraine, and Russia, and predict what was going to happen. In fact, my second book, True Believer, I have a black flag type of an operation to get Russia to invade Ukraine as part of the storyline. And I just studied the situation and needed to figure out how to make that happen. And lo and behold, that has now happened. But in the research that I did, that really was, you could see that coming because of the decline. of the ethnic Russian population since the end of the Cold War. And really, they could only field an army up to about 2022. And then they were going to either have, they're going to have to invade Ukraine because that has the largest population of ethnic Russians outside of Russia. So for our senior level leaders, not to come to that same conclusion after looking at it with a little bit of common sense is, it shouldn't be shocking, but it is because we rely on those
Starting point is 01:31:41 leaders to make those good strategic decisions. and they have proven time and time again that they're incapable of doing so. So wait a minute. So you say that the reason why they're having a hard time is they can't get more troops. And you're saying that that's one of the reasons why you think they invaded Ukraine so they could have ethnic Russians to fight? That's right. So it's just looking at those numbers. And you really have about two generations of ethnic Russians being a population that can't.
Starting point is 01:32:13 sustain a military. But in much smaller numbers past 2022. So in 2014, Peter Zehan wrote a book called The Accidental Superpower, which looks at geography, looks at demographics in world history when it comes to nation states and world powers. And that's the conclusion that he came to in that book, which is one of the things that I used in that second novel. But there, of course, are supporting factors. But that's a big one. And that also ties into the nuclear question, because if you have someone who believes that their population, their country is not going to be around in two generations and they can't even field an army past right about now, well, it makes using maybe a tactical nuclear weapon at least threatening to do so, but maybe even using it a little more likely because they're an animal in a corner and it's fight or flight and it's survival. It's not, they don't look at it as an option as, hey, if we do do this, we don't do this, well, hey, if we don't do this, well, hey, if we don't do it, this, we're dead anyway. So we have to look, we put ourselves in the enemy's shoes and to
Starting point is 01:33:18 anticipate what they're going to do. We continually do not do that in this country for whatever reason. I've got to tell you that some of the best commentary I've heard on what's happening in Ukraine already, and we've just been talking just a couple of minutes. I didn't hear, I haven't heard any of that. I've heard about the lack of military, but I had no idea that we knew this from the get-go. So when you have this situation, and you have Putin. I'm sure you've done enough research just for your own novels on Putin and how things work over there. A couple of questions.
Starting point is 01:33:55 First, they think he's sick, may have cancer. They're saying that maybe he's going under the knife and will be under, and they don't know how long he will be incapacitated. if I'm Putin, I'm wondering if I'm going to be safe when they put me out or if they might accidentally turn that knob up a little bit. Oh, yes. And this was something during the Cold War that was at the forefront of senior level Russian officials' minds when they had to go under the knife, when they had to be put under. And they had security in those rooms, not just because of an assassination or something along
Starting point is 01:34:34 those lines by a doctor that might be on the CIA payroll or just a rival, a political or military space, but because coming out of that, uh, at anesthesia. So when they're coming out of that, there's a certain time period where you're not really very lucid. Uh, and for those who have been under the knife, know what that, that feels like. Uh, and you're coming out of that and, well, maybe a doctor on the CIA payroll can ask you a few questions at that point in time and filter that back to the CIA. So that was something during the Cold War that, uh, that was at the forefront when any of those guys would have to go under the knife for a medical procedure. So I am sure that Putin is thinking about that. And of course, he knows his history much better than we do,
Starting point is 01:35:11 history of coups in Russia. It's not infrequent when we look at world history. So I'm sure that he's thinking about that and surrounding himself with people he thinks are trustworthy to ensure that either he's not killed during that time frame or is not asked questions during that time frame about his strategy vis-à-vis Ukraine or the rest of the world or his intent to use or not use nuclear weapons. Do you have any idea who would replace him, let's say he dies on the table? Do you have any idea? I do not.
Starting point is 01:35:44 There's always a military leader waiting in the wings, it seems. When we look at and but who that is, I am not sure. And, you know, in these situations or just when you're looking at authoritarian dictatorships or countries like that, the senior level leaders oftentimes are not getting the best information. because it is not healthy to bring that bad news to a dictator. Because oftentimes it's off of your head or off to the gulag. So it's a strange position to be in. Obviously, we saw that with our war in Iraq, where Saddam thought he actually did have
Starting point is 01:36:21 a capability that he did not. And Putin is probably in that same position. Do you, what do you make of the story? It came out, I think, yesterday. Pictures of what they call the Flying Kremlin. it is a plane that they haven't seen it in the air I think since 2010 or 2011 and it's been flying around Russia
Starting point is 01:36:45 and it is the nuclear plane if something needs to go on we have Air Force One that everything can be run from that plane in case of a nuclear war do you think that's just telling that go ahead Well, yeah, that seems interesting. I didn't see that story. But oftentimes these things are done to just send a message. And they might just to say, hey, we have this capability and to get us to take or not take a certain action. So for Putin to say he's moving nuclear weapons into a certain position, well, they're probably already there. Or if this plane is flying around, if the Russian military, if their capabilities are what we've seen in Ukraine thus far, then we overestimated. did a lot of those senior level generals, probably because they didn't want to get their heads
Starting point is 01:37:37 lopped off by saying they weren't as capable as they had been projecting or advertising. But flying a plane like that probably is the same thing as saying, hey, we're moving nuclear weapons into a certain position just in case we need to use them so that it sends a message to the West to discontinue support of Ukraine or get us to take a certain action. So how serious do you think this nuke thing is? I'm, you know, we've all grown up, you know, without this fear of nukes. I grew up in the time I, you might have too, where, you know, we feared what Russia might do. And then it went away.
Starting point is 01:38:16 And now, are we really that close to some sort of a nuclear explosion on Earth? I mean, the first question is, and I did grow up during that time as well. And we thought with the end of the Cold War that, hey, our main threat now is the proliferation of some of these weapons going to rogue nation states or super empowered individuals or terrorist organizations or that sort of a thing. But now we're back with a state-on-state nation-on-nation. Do you think it's serious? Well, first the question would have to be, hey, do they have the capability? And the answer to that question is yes. They have about 6,000, both tactical and strategic nuclear weapons, strategic meaning.
Starting point is 01:38:59 they're gigantic and fly towards us. Tactical, many use them on the battlefield a lot smaller, but still huge when compared to something like Hiroshima or Nagasaki, something like that. But we have a lot less, but with nuclear weapons, it doesn't really matter, you know, a thousand here, a thousand there. But when we add all of NATO's nuclear weapons and Russia, it's about the same, give or take. It's just shy of 6,000 when we add all of NATO nuclear weapons to Russia's. But in this case, it's interesting in that if they did do something like that, we have this China, we have that side. So it would make it a lot harder for China to support Russia if Russia uses even a tactical nuclear weapon on the battlefield. So that's an interesting kind of connection here because China is right now Russia's greatest ally, militarily trade-wise. And there's a lot of incentives from this to stay connected and using a nuclear.
Starting point is 01:39:57 weapon would make that a lot more difficult. We're talking to Jack Carr, the fiction writer, the author of In The Blood, which is out right now. Also, one of his other books, The Terminal List, is coming out soon on Netflix as a series with Chris Pratt. We continue our conversation here in 60 seconds.

You know, it's just reading something. I can't remember where I read it this morning. But some analysis that the American dollar is going to lose its reserve currency status, you know, in the coming
Starting point is 01:41:55 days, months, years, whenever. And China is making a move to basically have a multi or bipolar our powered world. If we, Japan looks like it's falling apart economically, we're not doing so great. Europe's not doing so great. There's a war going on. If this thing spirals out of control, what's to stop China from taking Taiwan and then just gobbling the world? They're obviously looking very closely at what was going to happen with Ukraine and
Starting point is 01:42:34 Russia. that that didn't happen as fast as most of our strategic level thinkers, leaders, talking heads anticipated, which was about three, four days. Russia is going to roll through Ukraine. And a lot of that is due to Zelensky. And I still am curious as to why Russia did not decapitate that government ahead of time, take out the leader first. And I think it's because they thought, oh, this is just an actor, kind of like Ronald Reagan,
Starting point is 01:43:00 before he, as he first started into politics. and they just they discounted how he could galvanize both his country and the world against Russia. So I think that was a strategic level mistake, and they should have anticipated that one. And even, and we thought the same thing. We offered him refuge. We said, we'll take you out of the country. And the way that was asked and the way that was talked about was so casual. It seemed as though we just thought, oh, for sure, the leader of the country is going to pick up and go.
Starting point is 01:43:28 And Russia probably thought the same thing. But that did not happen. And now we have the situation that we have now, essentially a war of attrition. And we'll see how that, we'll see how that ends up. But China and currency, that is a major play here and a major component of this that no one is talking about. So I'm glad you are. And China can look at things, obviously, they can look, they look in decades, they look in centuries. We look at things in four-year election cycles, maybe eight years for the real deep thinkers among us.
Starting point is 01:44:00 But China can take a breath. And they can see what happened in Ukraine. They can take a breath on Taiwan and they can look at this long term. And that is the advantage that they have over us. They have their problems too. They have population problems, the one-child policy and all that coming to fruition. There's their lockdowns, their mandates. They have a lot of issues to deal with as well internally.
Starting point is 01:44:23 But they can deal with those issues and take a breath on the strategic front because we're doing a pretty good job of destroying ourselves from the inside right now. So a little strategic patience on their part really plays into their hand. Talking to Jack Carr, the author of In the Blood and the Terminal List, which is coming out on Netflix soon. I own the Paramount Studios here in Dallas. It was an old movie lot back in the 80s. And I have some of, I have an old ship that was used in a miniseries back in the 80s. and it was Wins of War.

Because so many people on TV are like, what are we going to do? What are we going to do without abortions? And like, I don't know, have the baby. But none of this from the Supreme Court. First of all, we don't even know if that is the decision. But beyond that, it doesn't say you're not going to have abortion.
Starting point is 01:48:03 You're going to have California taking all of their money and just funneling it into free trips to California. California. And I think that makes the abortion thing a little better. I don't really want to kill my child, but I can't go lay on the beach afterwards for a week on the taxpayers die in California. Work it into a vacation plan. Work it into a vacation, you know? Oh, wait a minute. I'm not pregnant. I've been told by the media, I could be pregnant. I thought really this, that's all fat. Huh. Didn't see that coming. Darn it. Well, I got to get back to Disney. Yeah. So it's sort of an abordo tourism industry that we can launch out of this. And, you know, and the one thing that I really, I see, I don't know, and we tried to look it up, is they're making this into such a big deal. Like, I understand if, you know, you've been raped or incest or whatever, I, you know, okay, I get it.
Starting point is 01:49:02 But how many of these do you have in your lifetime? Because like, that's a good, it's a good question. think it is a big deal because of the life going away. That's why I would see it being a big deal. And it is a, from what I understand, a really terrible process to go through as far as a medical, quote, unquote, procedure. Be one of those things. Those things I get. Like, that's the arduous part of an abortion.
Starting point is 01:49:30 The moderate travel of dozens of minutes to go to another state seems to me to be a real small piece of the, picture. And part of this, I think, is that people are really, really dumb. Like, incredibly dumb. I think that is the theme of today's show. Yeah. People are stupid. Like, just really, like, like, again, we were just talking to Jack Carr, the fiction writer. I don't think you would believe if it was a fiction book, how stupid the American people really are. Yeah, because I really think that they just think abortion, most people because of the, and this is partially the reporting in their fault, but like they think abortion
Starting point is 01:50:15 is going away. And, you know, honestly, the overwhelming amount of people, I think the majority of the population will be in states where it's available. And if you're not in states where you're available, you are at, in no place in this nation, more than a two-hour flight away from...
Starting point is 01:50:31 You're in Brownsville. Oh, flight. Flight. Well, no Brownsville. Could you get out of Texas from Brownsville? Certainly you could cross into the Mexican border and get it there. But yes, I think you could get out. I think you could get to New Mexico in two hours. Mexican, Mexican Coke is better.
Starting point is 01:50:48 Maybe Mexican abortions are better. You can get anywhere on a flight in Texas. But you're right. Maybe Mexican abortions are better. And maybe the vacation would be great too. So that's something to think about. Right. But certainly, yes, anywhere, I did this math at one point.
Starting point is 01:51:01 It's no more than two or maybe it's two and a half. But it's something like that. It's a moderate flight to get anywhere. And it will be covered. They've already talked about. the Pink House, which is the Jackson's Women's Health Facility or whatever, it's the main one they're talking about in the Supreme Court case. They're just going to convert it to basically a travel agency. So if you're looking for an abortion where you would normally walk into the
Starting point is 01:51:23 building and eventually get the abortion at that facility, instead you go in there and they give you the travel plans. What a great. I mean, you know, America is pretty great. Nobody went to call. Nobody saw this coming. This is the free market. Nobody went to school and said, I'm going to open up a travel agency that kills babies. And what a, look, it's not the example I would use in my normal praise of capitalism. But it is true. And thank you, Yaakov. I appreciate that.
Starting point is 01:51:54 But like, it is a bit odd to hear people talk about it. Can you just, can you read a thing? read something about the topic you're talking about any like go on the internet and read a story that would explain to you something about the thing you're talking about can you do that can you do that one time can you take one time and go on the internet and read a thing about the thing you're talking about all the time when you post a thing on the internet when you post a thing on the internet, before you post that thing, could you read a thing about the thing you're talking about?
Starting point is 01:52:38 No, the teachers union has made it really clear I shouldn't read. Apparently so, unless it's porn, you're not supposed to read anything on the internet. It is 98 pages, but I read that yesterday. And most of them you don't have to read. Let's be honest about it. There's pages after pages after pages of sourcing and like examples of things. Read the open and the close.
Starting point is 01:53:00 Now, read the whole thing. But it's going to take you out. A half an hour. Read anything. Read something. Because if you did read something from a credible source. Something? That would inform you that basically what we're talking about is a maximum.
Starting point is 01:53:16 Let's go maximum. A two hour flight that will be paid if you do not have the resources will be paid by abortion activists. So you can do all of this for free. It's people like you that are going to say you can't travel out of your state if you're going to have an abortion. Yeah, we'll see. how that does in the court's not well. That's what they're actually talking about, travel restrictions. And you know what?
Starting point is 01:53:38 I am sure somebody is going to say, we're going to do. I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you against any state that is like, nope, you cannot leave the state and come back if you're going to have an abortion. What is that? Yeah. What is that? You have a situation where everybody on the right right now, and this has led to a lot of good things, by the way. But also some people who don't know, you know, how to do this.
Starting point is 01:54:06 You know, it's sort of like everyone's trying to out Ron DeSantis, Ron DeSantis. And so you're trying to find this thing that is like, you take on the hype, the big issue of the day and do something dramatic. How gallant is there no one in the room that could say, dude, right now you can hop a plane, go to Vegas, do blow off of a hooker's belly while people are, are betting on whether or not you're going to. going to live and fly back and be at work the next day in your state and everything's fine. Come on. Pretty long tradition of being able to leave one state where something's illegal, go to the other
Starting point is 01:54:44 state where it is legal, and do it and come back. I do believe some state will try that honestly, but I don't believe it will hold up in the courts. I don't even think you could get some sort of weird Baptist Mormon baby that is like no drinking, no dancing. I don't even think they would say, and not even in another state. And even if that were the case, it would be impossible to actually enforce. I mean, it's unconstitutional. So all that goes, you know, I think that's a ridiculous thing. Wait, wait, wait, wait. We've said a lot of ridiculous things on this program that have all come true.
Starting point is 01:55:22 Let's just all remember that we're against that at this point, no matter who's proposing it, I mean, unless it's Jesus, but I'd have to put my finger in the hands. You know what I mean? Unless it's Jesus. Let's just remember we're all against that. Yeah. You can't interstate travel and interstate commerce is pretty well codified. I mean, who would do that?
Starting point is 01:55:50 Who would do that? Let's say, like, if Rhode Island said, we're going to send out our state patrol to go door to door to see if any New Yorkers are here during the COVID lockdown. Okay. That was a bad. We did like that. We thought that was bad. We thought that was bad. There have been some talks about in the Texas style law version of this is the idea that if you were to know someone went out of state, got an abortion, you could sue them under those contexts.
Starting point is 01:56:16 Now, I don't know if the Texas, I don't think the Texas law stays. I think they probably get rid of it if Robert versus weight is overturned. You'd rather have it go through normal means. So anyway, but like the focus is constantly. like people are not going to have access to this. And this sort of focused on the arduous nature of needing to travel to remove the heartbeat from the child living inside of you. And it's like, I know that's a lot to ask. The inconvenience of being able to kill your kid, you're talking multiple minutes of travel.
Starting point is 01:56:47 I know it's really inconvenient and it adds quite a bit here. But like, and I honestly, how many abortions does one have in the, in, in one's life? I have to tell you, if you are making me crawl up on that ladder to get on the roof to put the Zyclon B in that little chimney, I mean, can't you make it a little, I mean, think about. I don't. We had to go. No, but I'm just saying. I mean, it's about the killing of the people, not the climbing up of the ladder. Okay, yes, that's a little, that should be the focus. I think I would agree with you in that analysis. It should be, the life and death issue is more important than the Uber right. So I would agree with you on that.
Starting point is 01:57:36 But you think that that was maybe too strong here. Well, not. No. In some way. So anyway. Right. More than nine million have died. 63 million in the United States.
Starting point is 01:57:48 So yes, I would say. I would say that's a higher number. But like how many abortions do you have that this would be like if let's show, I don't know, what's a. max sort of number for a normal person. Let me throw some out. I'm not an expert here. You know, we're two white
Starting point is 01:58:06 men who, yes, white Republican men did give you the right to the abortion in the first place through Roe v. Wade, but we don't have expertise in this field. What is a max number for, I mean, is five a lot? I think five would be a lot. I think three is a lot.
Starting point is 01:58:22 Three. Three is a lot. Okay. I feel like, I think the number is 75% of women never have one. I have not looked enough. I think I remember that number being. But that's like saying that only 3% of the country is homosexual. We know that number now is 30. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:58:38 Apparently that's what they're telling us. Right. So, okay. Three, five would be a lot. Let's just say five times in your life, you had to take a two-hour flight to get an abortion. Is that the main story here? I don't think it is.
Starting point is 01:58:57 It seems to me to be a tiny piece of what is a larger, more important. But not if you thought it was akin to LASIC surgery. But like if you had to have LASIC surgery five times in your life and on those five times, you'd go out of state to get it. Would that be the craziest thing? Yeah, it would, I would stand up. Let's just say, the teachers union, they say, we can't do enough. there are still 10% of our classrooms that can read.
Starting point is 01:59:30 So we got to stop these kids from seeing the chalkboard. So they have to go out of state to get glasses. They have to go out of state for any kind of eye thing. Okay. I would stand up against that. But your stance would not be necessarily how arduous the travel was to get the eye exam. It would be that we should be allowing eye exams, right? Well, it depends on which
Starting point is 01:59:59 state I live in, and how many states are going to do eye exams. So to go back to the abortion example for a moment. By the way, I found someone here. You didn't like the eye thing. You didn't like the gas chamber. I didn't like it. I'm trying to, I'm trying to find a happy place for you.
Starting point is 02:00:15 Let's talk about the topic we're talking about. Is that possible? Okay. So I found, by the way, a woman who had 15 abortions in 16 years to spite her husband. who she did not apparently like all that much. So there's your max number. Now, good.
Starting point is 02:00:31 That's a really high one. There was somebody that said they had 27, but that's been debunked. That's been debunked. So here's my recommendation. That's a crazy amount. So my recommendation to you, as a listener, would be if you're going to have 15 abortions, I would move to a blue state.
Starting point is 02:00:48 I'm just going to say it right now. I think you should live in California to get your 15. It's a good investment. It's a good investment, just time-wise. Yeah. Because it won't cost you anything because all these abortion organizations will pay for it. If you're like what we think this is like and you get a couple, well, you know what, that's like it's jury duty. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 02:01:06 They're going to be put out. I mean, I don't mean to use that phrase. That's probably a bad phrase when we're talking about abortion because that's what started the whole thing being put out. But let me just. So if you're going to have your day is going to be inconvenienced. Right, but like, again, the event is really a dramatic event because of the death of the child and the probable pain you're going through during the procedure. But it's not as minimal as eye testing and not as bad as the Holocaust.
Starting point is 02:01:43 Oh, I don't think that was the time to go out. Well, never argue with the guy who runs the show or has his name first. But I just think there was more to... Cindy wrote in about her experience with relief factor. She said, I severe from severe back issues. I've had over 100 surgeries on my body. I suffer from MS. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 02:02:06 So pain has been with me my entire life. I can't take regular pain meds, so I ordered relief factor. Figured I'd give it a try. She said, I felt improvement in 10 days. By the time my second shipment came, I would say my pain level was averaging around three. And to me, that is wonderful. Oh, my gosh, Cindy. I want to talk to you. I couldn't be more happy. Thank you for writing in. Listen, this is a natural way. It's not a drug developed by doctors, and it hits
Starting point is 02:02:40 inflammation, which is our biggest problem in our body for pain and other things. And it hits it four different ways. Well, like, ibuprofen, even ibuprofen 800, which don't drive with that in your system. It only hits it one way. This hits four different directions. So 70% of the people who try it go on to order more because it works for them. Call 800 the number four relief, 800 for relief. Or go to relieffactor.com. That's relief factor.
Starting point is 02:03:08 That's relief factor. Relief factor. Feel the difference. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. So I have forgotten to mention this, but the American Journey experience is doing another American Journey experience. It's a two-day lesson with me, David Barton, and his son Tim Barton, and it happens this weekend, Friday and Saturday, and probably going to be the last time we do it for the year, just because schedules are just so crazy.
Starting point is 02:04:03 but it is a chance to learn history with your family and learn it in a way you've never learned it before. I mean, it is really, really good. You can join us, find out all the information at mercury1.org. It's happening this weekend. I think it's a hundred bucks per person or 75 for a couple and I don't know, 100 and something for families, whatever. But it is well worth it. Two days, Friday and Saturday, here at the Mercury Studios. If you can, attend Friday and Saturday.
Starting point is 02:04:41 Makes a great Mother's Day gift. This is the Glenn Back program.
