Starting point is 00:00:00 When you were little, you had braced some of course of recreat, always in trying to negotiate and do and make a change. The appellee Negoti-Titre TD you permit to renoue with this instinct, with, without operation gratuite,
Starting point is 00:00:12 no amount of minimum, and no free mensuel. You're made for negotiate, and the TD is there for you aid. Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Wow, we, uh, I kind of think I had a moment of
Starting point is 00:00:33 crystallization of what's going to going on in our country with the police. I don't know if you've seen the latest numbers, but police forces all around the country are dwindling. Gee, I can't imagine why. By the way, there's some more lawsuits being filed against our police officers. We'll tell you about that.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Also, the Great Reset. Anyone who said it was a conspiracy theory, give me five minutes. We begin there in 60 seconds. So Jim lives in Texas. He's been living with severe neck shoulder pain for the past several years. One of the reasons he put up with it for so long is he's a colossal skeptic.
Starting point is 00:01:17 I know. You hear stuff like this. You're like, hi, I'm Martha Ray, the big mouth for Polydent. And you're like, what? Who? Anyway, you hear somebody like me. Hi, I'm Glenn Beck, the big mouth for relief factor. And you're like, oh, geez.
Starting point is 00:01:39 He didn't buy into it. Fortunately for Jim, he's got a wife who's like my wife, meaning she got tired of listening to gripe about being in pain all the time, and she was like, I'm not going to listen to you if you don't try everything. Took a while, but she eventually convinced him to try something he had heard about. Relief factor. He took it probably just to make her happy. I can't.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Not me. Not me. I did it because my wife is always. Then a funny thing happened when he started to take it. A few weeks in, he realized his pain was starting to go away. Now, if he's like me, He didn't tell his wife that. He's like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:02:13 I don't know if it's working. I don't know. Well, Jim got his life back with Relief Factor. I did, and so could you. Relief Factor, not a drug developed by doctors, and 70% of the people who try it go on to order more. That's why I encourage you to just try it for three weeks. You should know in three weeks.
Starting point is 00:02:29 1995. Just try it for three weeks. See if it works for you. Get your life back with Relieffactor.com. That's Relieffactor.com. Call 800,500,884. Relieffactor. All right, if you, if you've been following the program for, for any given time here in the last few months, you've heard of the great reset.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Let me set it out just in case you happen to be, you know, stumbling into us. There's talk radio. What I've never heard of this. And you're just, you're tuning in for the first time. Welcome. Thank you for listening. This all started because of, uh, because of climate change. But then COVID happened.
Starting point is 00:03:26 And the World Economic Forum was like, wait a minute, we don't need climate change to get started. We got COVID. And now that we've dismantled the world, let's put it back closer to our heart's desire. So that's when the World Economic Forum launched 2020, the Radical Great Reset Initiative in partnership with various leaders. from the public and private sectors, including our own Joe Biden, who used the Great Reset slogan as his campaign slogan. Do you remember,
Starting point is 00:04:04 Build Back Better, which sounded ridiculous. It sounded either like it had been put together by a second grader or Bill Back Better is not its original language English. You're right. It's not mine either, so cut me some slack. So Build Back Better was used not only here in America, but in England and in France, all over the world is campaign slogans. Whoa, what a coincidence.
Starting point is 00:04:34 It's also the slogan for the Great Reset. So now you have the public people doing it. And now you also have the CEO of major corporations as well as banks, central banks, financial institutions, labor unions, international organizations, all of them coming together to push the reset button on the global economy because we need it. Capitalism just doesn't work. It doesn't work. And believe me, your kids buy into this. I don't care how old they are. Your kids are hearing this in school and they're buying into it. Now, we're not practicing capitalism now. What we're practicing is corrupt capitalism or crony capitalism. True capitalism is a real true free market where
Starting point is 00:05:26 the government doesn't pick winners and losers. That's what's been happening. And the way they pick them is like, gee, who's going to help me get elected or reelected? There's this little company called Google. Yes. Hi, Google. How much to my re-election committee? That's how capitalism is working now and everybody gets rich except for you, for those who aren't playing the game. Okay, so we've been telling you about this stakeholder capitalism, this idea of everyone's a stakeholder. So it's not just the people who own the companies, you know, or the shareholders. Shareholder capitalism is evil because it only worries about profit. We all have a stake in that company because they're using our,
Starting point is 00:06:17 water in our air. Uh-huh. So stakeholder capitalism is the Chinese model. Whatever is happening over in China with their system, that's basically what we're going to get all over the world with a giant world
Starting point is 00:06:33 government. No, no, don't worry. You'll be able to, if you like your government, you'll be able to keep your government. Don't worry. Okay. So now every country is in on this. And you you say that, you know, it's a conspiracy theory.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the Great Reset. It talks about it on the World Economic Forum, but, you know, nobody's really going to do that. Okay, all right, okay, okay, all right. The first thing they have to do to have the Great Reset is to create a variety of new government programs, including policies similar to the far-left Green New Deal resolution that is now called the infrastructure bill.
Starting point is 00:07:21 Did you know that? Has anybody really put that in perspective? All of the things that were in the Green New Deal, most of them are now in the infrastructure bill. The second thing is the global adoptions of, or adoption of environmental, social, and governance standards. Now what is this? Well, we've talked to the banks.
Starting point is 00:07:47 The banks have one of the five biggest banks of the country called me shockingly after one show and said one TV show on the internet behind a paywall. And they called and say, uh, we just want you to know, uh, this is corporate headquarters for big money, big bank. And, uh, we just want you to know, uh, you got that all wrong. Really? Well, we'd love to correct it. No, you don't need to correct it. anything. I mean, you didn't get anything wrong, wrong. You just, you know, you're phrasing it in a way. It sounds scary. Could you phrase it in a way where it doesn't sound scary? Yeah. We're not scary people.
Starting point is 00:08:28 We'd never do it the scary way. Oh, I'll get right on that story. So the, what they're saying is the ESGs are just for your education. That's all it is. It's so you can make smart investments. Okay. Well, I've got some news. Under the ESG model, companies are not only rated using traditional metrics, such as revenues and the quality of goods and services offered, but also on a variety of social justice metrics,
Starting point is 00:09:04 such as your carbon footprint, the air quality of businesses supply chain, having the right ratio of Asians to Hispanics working for the company, among other factors. Thousands of companies. Thousands of them. Look up any company. Just look up their report, any company. And just type in Coca-Cola ESG, Ford ESG, Mercedes-Benz ESG.
Starting point is 00:09:33 You'll see they've all adopted it. 82% of all large companies in the United States have done so voluntarily. 82%. Now, there's a great deal of money to be made if you play this game. How? Well, I told you, we're the big bank. We're never going to do this. Well, we've been warning you that the guys,
Starting point is 00:10:10 government mandates, the new government programs and ESGs, mainly from these huge corporations, are going to be codified. And it's all going to start to come together where a bank can't give your company alone unless you have a high ESG score. If you invest your money in Wall Street and 401K, if you invest it in a low ESG scored company, Because you believe in the company, but it's not playing the game. You'll be penalized and you'll find it harder and harder for you to get alone. You won't get alone and you won't get alone and you and you and you won't get alone.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Glenn, could you please just get to the new information? Yes, I will. After this, I mean, deftly timed commercial. 60 seconds. I'll be back. American financing NMLS 1 82334. www. nmLS consumer access.org. Hey, one of the things you should value most in life is peace of mind.

It's exciting. Okay. Last month in a little
Starting point is 00:12:49 reported story out of Europe. The European Parliament has voted in favor of a resolution that demands all large companies in the EU, as well as some smaller businesses, put ESG standards into place or face harsh fines for their respective national governments. So if you don't have an ESG, this is EU, if you don't have an ESG score that you're living by, you better start living by your, I mean, they're already doled out for you. Don't worry. You got one. You're going to get one for your house and you, for your kids and everything.
Starting point is 00:13:28 It's going to be great. Anyway, this conspiracy theory that is definitely not going to be codified, the EU Parliament just voted in favor of that demand to make sure that all of the companies are using ESG standards. Well, this is a good thing because it's happening in Europe and not. in America. The resolution passed by the European Parliament is not yet binding on member states. It's a strong sign, however, that the thumb screws are coming out and
Starting point is 00:14:02 everyone will of course adopt it. In order for the resolution to become binding, the European Commission must formally propose the resolution as legislation and then Parliament and the member states have to vote for the legislation. Okay. All right. Now, it's going to happen because there is overwhelming support for it in the EU.
Starting point is 00:14:26 All right? Now, according to the international law firm of Sherman and Sterling, when Sherman talks, Sterling listens. Even though Sterling is like that Sherman, he's a backstepping bastard. I should have had my name first. Anyway, they said the proposed due diligence framework targets three categories of potential and or actual adverse impacts, including human rights, the environment, and good governance. These categories are deliberately broad, said either Sterling or Shearman, and would in many cases require businesses to make sweeping reforms to align with
Starting point is 00:15:06 left-wing social justice goals, imposing them on the societies in which they operate. For example, the human rights category means any potential or actual adverse impact that may impair the full enjoyment of human rights by individuals or groups of individuals in relation to human rights, including social, worker, and trade union rights. These categories, Shearman or Sterling went on to say, are deliberately broad, and they will protect the environment, and it would involve, according to Sherman and Sterling, the right to safe, clean, healthy, sustainable, biodiverse environment, as defined by the internationally recognized and EU environmental standards.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Further, the resolution demands, now get this, this is where you come in. Further, the resolution demands that businesses, that business strategy should be aligned with union policy objectives in the field of human rights and the environment, including the European Green Deal and the commitment to reduce greenhouse emissions. by at least 55% by 2030. Perhaps most importantly for Americans and U.S. businesses, the Parliament's resolution calls for these ESG requirements to cover all business activities,
Starting point is 00:16:29 including its value chain. For those of you who don't speak legally's business bull crap, the value chain is everybody that makes something for that company. That's where you come in. The value chain is defined in the resolution as all activities, all operations, all business relationships, and all investment chains of an undertaking, which includes all entities with the undertaking. It has a direct or indirect business relationship upstream and downstream.
Starting point is 00:17:10 And either A, supplies, products, parts, or products or something. services that can contribute to the undertaking's own products or services or receive products or services from the undertaking. So in other words, you want to do business with Europe or anybody in the European Union's large businesses, you will have to have an ESG standard of your own which complies with the European Union Green New Deal and ESG mandates. And if you don't, well that's okay that's your choice but you're not going to be able to market the beast you're not going to be able to do any business or buy anything because you don't have the right ESG standing you know what I'm saying so come on let's work together to make things better
Starting point is 00:17:58 business partners both indirect and upstream and downstream have a place in human rights environmental good governance policies that are in line with the company's obligation of due diligence the recommendations contemplate that this may be achieved for example, by means of framework agreements, contractual causes, codes of conduct, or certified and independent audits of every business.
Starting point is 00:18:25 This is going to be great. First of all, they said that it wasn't going to happen. Uh-oh, looks like it is, but now I'm telling you that this is going to be bad. How could this be bad? We're going to have more human rights and greener everything. And our houses will be much,
Starting point is 00:18:46 much better and our life will be better and we won't get to have meat. Oh, did I say that out loud? Uh-oh. By the way, um, did you see, did you see the, Stu, the, um, the global conference on climate change where, where all the leaders got together on one screen? Yes. Did you see this? Yeah. Can we pull that screen up? Do we have that screenshot? Yeah, look it. One of these things is not like, the others. This is all of the world leaders from all over the world, all on screen. Can you tell me what one thing sticks out because it's not like the others? Uh, Joe Biden is the only dolt wearing a mask. Bingo. He's the only one all by himself wearing a mask. Every other world leader. And Putin's in the center like, yeah. And, uh, the dope wearing the mask. And, uh, the dope wearing the
Starting point is 00:19:46 mask, you got something to say? Not only is it a virtual conference where you cannot pass the coronavirus through Zoom. But you've never heard of a computer virus. That's true. That's a good point. Thank you. And maybe that's who he was thinking. The problem, of course, even with that theory is that he's fully vaccinated.
Starting point is 00:20:06 So, I mean, it's so beyond insane that he would need to do this, yet he's doing it for other reasons. He's doing it for show, I suppose. What other for show? No. Hey, do we have the CNN? Do we have the CNN interview with Kamala Harris? At least a screenshot of that or do we have? Yeah, look at.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Look at how far apart they are. A one-on-one with Kamala Harris. They are what, 20 feet apart, 15 feet apart? That's insane. It's like, you know, it's like I want to do an interview at a big banquet table where I asked the question and then we have
Starting point is 00:20:52 a little guy who was serving food run down to the other end of the table and say he'd like the salt and could you answer this question and then he's running the salt back after he she says the answer and then I could I then the little

It's a great Monday, especially when we're joined by, Mr. Pat Gray himself. Hello, Pat. How are you?
Starting point is 00:23:03 I'm good, Glenn. How are you? Oh, my God. Great. Oh, perfect. Perfect. Fantastic. Perfect. Yeah. In every way. In every way. So did you read the story in the Los Angeles Times about the California National Guard putting a fighter jet on alert? Indeed, I did. And I found it somewhat interesting in light of Posse Cometat. that people scream about every minute of every day.
Starting point is 00:23:33 Really? If anybody gets anywhere near the border with like a National Guardsman, perhaps, or anybody, any member of the military, Parsi Cavartagnos! But the National Guard can put an F-15C on alert just in case there's panic buying at a Kroger. Are you kidding me? What?
Starting point is 00:23:57 Okay, so he's not making this up. This is from the Los Angeles Times. They say they have credible sources. Four of them in the National Guard. Four sources in the National Guard saying that when the stay-at-home orders were issued and there was panic buying, somebody put the National Guard in California. Pat, give me an example of who could put. the National Guard call for the National Guard. Who could call that? Oh, well, let's see.
Starting point is 00:24:33 The governor of the state. The governor of the state. And that's... Yeah, but there's also... Not just the governor of the state. Pretty much just... No, there, come on. Just the governor. Just the governor of the state.
Starting point is 00:24:44 The mayor can't do it. The assemblyman can't do it. The dog catcher can't do it. It's got to be the governor. And so... So when people were panic buying, according to four separate sources and the loss... Angeles Times.
Starting point is 00:25:00 Mm-hmm. An F-15C fighter was put on alert. How crazy is that? Because of the stay-at-home order and because of panic buying? I mean, if the panic buying included a double coupon opportunity for Charmin bathroom tissue, you know, then maybe I agree, not just the F-15, but also some ground troops and maybe some heavy artillery. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:24 You got a tank or two, you know, the heavily armored vehicles. vehicles rolling up into the Kroger parking lot. And you want to, yeah, you want to make sure that they're not, that they're not buying all of the toilet paper there. Right. And you have, I mean, if you have to take an F-16 and they weren't going to fire on anybody, they were going to do what we suggested that they did in Ben, would, should do in Benghazi. Just the buzz buy. You fly very, very low and you've put on full afterburners. and it can break glass.
Starting point is 00:26:00 It scares the hell out of people on the ground. We do that in combat all the time. You don't have to launch a single missile or fire a bullet. Nothing. You just strafe the people and it freaks them out. That's what these four sources were telling the Los Angeles Times the governor was asking them to do. It's just unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:26:22 It's really incredible. Now, could they have also, you know, strafed to the crowd with a few bullets? You know, maybe shot people in the leg a few times. Just like they ask the police to do. Just shoot them in the leg. Maybe the F-15s could have shot people in the leg. Now, with the 50-Cal weapon that they have on the F-15, it might take your leg completely off.
Starting point is 00:26:47 Well, maybe even both of them, but who's to say you shouldn't have been buying all the toilet paper. So now, Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Sharoma, a spokesperson for the. California Guard denied the reports telling the Los Angeles Times, we don't use our planes to frighten or intimidate civilians yet. And so the National Guard is denying this. But why would, what is the motivation for the Los Angeles Times? Yeah. To say they have four separate sources saying it was true. It's, uh, it's so unconstitutional. I hope he's right that it's not true. I hope he's telling the truth. I would love for that not to be true because that can't happen. I mean, it sure shouldn't happen in the United States. You don't turn the military against your own citizens.
Starting point is 00:27:39 You just don't do that. Not the National Guard, not any unit of the military can be turned against, you know, it's still in that old piece of paper that we don't pay any attention to. But it's, it's written down somewhere, you know, that they, the Los Angeles time. said the orders were allegedly handed down orally orally or through text messages rather than formally in writing, which made them highly unusual, sources told the Times. The Guard members described such a tactic as inappropriate use of military force against U.S. citizens. It would have been a completely illegal order that disgraced the military, said one source. It would look like we were threatening civilians, end quote. Well, yeah, that's what you would have been doing.
Starting point is 00:28:25 it would look like we're scared of appearances here as we fly over the F-15 over the Kroger Right right Is Jeffrey Dahmer They open up sea heads I know what this looks like
Starting point is 00:28:39 Yeah it looks like you've been eating people Oh wow Come on God, who does that It's out of the question I wouldn't do that So I wouldn't buy into this at all five years ago. No, right.
Starting point is 00:29:01 You wouldn't believe it for a second. No, wouldn't believe it. Wouldn't believe it. Now I don't know what to believe. And it's from the Los Angeles Times that is both a mark against the story and a mark for the story. Right. You know? Yes.
Starting point is 00:29:17 And now, if they were claiming that the National Guard was going to strafe civilians at a, a BLM rally. You would understand that story in the Los Angeles Times. But this isn't, you know, this doesn't seem like it fits the Los Angeles Times narrative. So that's
Starting point is 00:29:37 what makes it believable from the Times. Because they're saying that this was going to happen against, you know, just citizens who were buying groceries. I mean, that's unbelievable. That is unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:29:52 You know what this is. is though. These are right-wing extremists. Those four people. Yes. Those are right-wing extremists just trying to get you to think these things about your military so you don't trust them. Right-wing extremists are now don't like the military. I'm losing track as to what team we're supposed to be on. Yeah. Well, you just have to keep up. I got the memo last night. We are now against the military. But are we for Putin or are we against him. We are now against Putin. Okay. Wow. Oh, wait.
Starting point is 00:30:27 If you're a Trump supporter, or ever were a Trump supporter, okay. Or ever didn't say that man should be strapped to an electric chair and the chair strapped to a rocket and he should be jettisoned into space while being electrocuted. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:43 You didn't say that. You're also on the hit list. So you're also, yeah, you're for the military. Wow. Can I expect an F-15 fly-by? Yes, yes, it'll be very patriotic. It'll happen on 4th of July. Very, very.
Starting point is 00:31:02 You know, I mean, as you sing, the bombs bursting in air, they show up and it's beautiful to burst those bombs in the air. All right, Pat, thank you so much. No, no, thank you. There's another story that I would like to get to here. And I just want to give it to you because it comes from the but we haven't done our homework on it. We are doing our homework.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Hopefully I'll have a better answer for you tomorrow. The really bizarre story, according to the Associated Press, a shadowy company set up last September linked to a DARPA FBI contractor who peddled an lawful intercept internet spy device. to government agencies and law enforcement a decade ago, took over a massive portion of the Pentagon's idle internet addresses on the day of President Biden's inauguration. This is according to an in-depth investigation and report from the Associated Press. The valuable internet real estate has since quadrupled to 175 million IP addresses, which were previously owned by the U.S. Department of Defense.
Starting point is 00:32:23 about one-twenty-fifth the size of the current internet, one-twenty-fifth size of the current internet, and over twice the size of the internet space actually used by the Pentagon. It's massive, said Doug Madderi, director of internet analysis at network operating company, Kinetic. It's the biggest thing in history,
Starting point is 00:32:51 in the history of the internet. The Associated Press tried to reach out to the company Global Resource Systems. It was established by a Beverly Hills attorney and now resides in a shared workspace above a Florida bank. The company did not return phone calls or emails from the Associated Press. It has no web presence, although it has the domain, GRSCorp.com. Its name does not appear on the directory of its Plantation Florida domicile, and a receptionist drew a blank when an AP reporter asked for a company representative at the office earlier this year. She finally found its name on a tenant list and suggested trying an email. Record show the company has not obtained a business license in Plantation, Florida.
Starting point is 00:33:44 It is incorporated, however, in Delaware and registered by the Beverly Hills lawyer, Global Resource Systems LLC now manages more internet space than China Telecom, AT&T, or Comcast. One name linked to global resource systems in the Florida Business Registry is that of Raymond Salino, who recently as 2018 was listed in Nevada corporate records as managing director for a cybersecurity internet surveillance company called Pax. FACET Forensics. According to the report, the company had nearly $40 million in publicly disclosed federal contracts over the past decade with the FBI and the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, DARPA, among its customers. In 2011, Packet Forensics and Salino, its spokesperson, were featured in a wired story. The company, apparently, was selling an appliance to the government and agencies and law enforcement that would let them spy on people's web browsing using forged security
Starting point is 00:34:54 certificates. The company continues to sell lawful intercept equipment according to its website. One of the current contracts with the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency is for harnessing autonomy for countering cyber adversary systems. A contract description says it is investigating technologies for conducting safe, non-disruptive, and effective active defense operations in cyberspace. Contract language from 2019 says the programs would investigate the feasibility of creating safe and reliable autonomous software agencies that can effectively counter malicious botnet implants.
Starting point is 00:35:37 But nobody knows what they're doing. I saw another story today that came out. I think from Newsweek or U.S. News and World Report. And they said they're now on it.

There's a new story that just came out in the New York Times. The head of the foreign ministry in Iran has just been interviewed for a story for the New York Times.
Starting point is 00:37:54 And it's a, I'm sorry, it was a leaked tape. And in this leaked tape, this is what they found was really, really important. Revolutionary guards set policies. No. So the elected president of Iran doesn't do that. The revolutionary guards along with the Mullahs, they run the, yeah, that's what it's about. 28 paragraphs, except in paragraph 27, this, this might have been. been important. It was talking about how, you know, they, they, they know everything. The
Starting point is 00:38:31 Revolutionary Guard does. The structure of our foreign ministry is mostly security oriented, kept in the dark about government actions, sometimes to its embarrassment. They talk about when, you know, we killed the general over in, in Iraq. Then it's this line. Former Secretary of State John Kerry informed him that Israel had a Iranian interests in Syria at least 200 times. He also points out the cover up the guards, drowning of a Ukrainian jetliner, downing of a jetliner in Iran that killed 170. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:39:08 Can we go back to the former Secretary of State was on the phone with Iran's foreign minister and was telling them, giving them information about what Israel is doing? I mean, is that a... Is that maybe... Is that maybe not like the second to the last paragraph without any other comment? Maybe that is a bigger story than the Mullahs. And the Revolutionary Guard run Iraq, huh?

It's the Glenn Beck program, and we're going to talk about what is coming next and what some states are doing about it. We begin in Montana with the Republican governor there saying, we're not going to enforce any federal gun laws if they infringe on the Second Amendment. Some states are having a problem with this because they'd like to do it,
Starting point is 00:42:55 but the fed say they're just going to cut off a lot of the service. and you'll be isolated. You'll be isolated. So what are you going to do about it? We'll tell you about that, what's happening to our police force and a theory that I have on what's really happening, why social justice is going after our police force the way it is. And some action points on that all coming up in 60 seconds. So Michael lives in Connecticut. He likes to play a lot of tennis, or at least he used to, until he started having regular and debilitating pain. He was in his right. right elbow. First he lost his killer serve, then eventually he couldn't really play at all anymore.
Starting point is 00:43:40 It was starting to affect his everyday life, always in pain. Well, Michael, who lives in Connecticut, listens to this program, and he heard me talking about it on the show, and he decided, I mean, I mean, this clown has been right occasionally. Maybe, maybe I'll try it. Actually, I think Michael, what sold you is the same thing that stole me, and that is, you'll know within three weeks, whether it's going to work for you or not. I mean, you should see some pain go away within the first three weeks. Otherwise, it's just not right for you. And 70% of the people who try it for three weeks go on to order more because it does work. Well, after a few weeks, he was starting to feel better, decided to get out and try playing tennis again. Sure enough, the killer serve has returned,
Starting point is 00:44:24 and Michael has the life that he loves back. I got my back. You could get yours back. If you suffer from frequent pain, relief factor may help you. 30% of the people who try it, it doesn't work. But that means 70%. Are you in that 70%? Try it. It'll cost you $20 to find out. Try it.

So the Montana governor just signed a bill into law on Friday that is intended to protect gun owners in the state. Stu, when did Montana start making sense again?
Starting point is 00:45:17 I mean, they had a really lefty kind of governor. And I thought the whole place was going to go to hell in a handbasket. When did they go back right? Or have they? I don't. I mean, look, they still vote very red in most cases throughout and did most of that time. Every once in a while these states, like West Virginia, had a, you know,
Starting point is 00:45:39 mansion is a good example of this. Like they just inexplicably have Democrats and strange roles. Yeah, but I don't think Montana's any left-wing state. Well, it was going that way. During the Obama administration, it looked like it was going that way. I don't follow it enough. I mean, I just, you know, it's Montana.
Starting point is 00:45:55 I check in once in a while. So my apologies to Montana if you've never been going left. The governor said, today I proudly sign the representative Jedediah Hinkle's law, prohibiting federal overreach into our Second Amendment protected rights, including any federal ban on firearms. Republicans passed the state amid President Biden's push for federal gun reform measures. I'll tell you about that here at a second.
Starting point is 00:46:23 The Montana law prohibits law enforcement officials and other state employees from enforcing federal restrictions or spending any state funds on particular kinds of firearms, ammunition, and magazines. In Oklahoma, a bill that would designate that state as a Second Amendment sanctuary state is headed for the governor's desk there. In Arkansas, however, Aza Hutchinson, the governor there, vetoed a bill on Friday, saying that it would jeopardize the law enforcement and the public. Now, people who were against the Montana law said it would make it more difficult for local law enforcement
Starting point is 00:47:03 to collaborate with federal authorities on issues beyond gun access. Well, wait a minute. How can these sanctuary cities, you know, be fine, you know, when they're saying, we're not going to abide by any of the federal laws on marijuana. We're not going to put up with any of the laws on illegal aliens. It's just the gun one that's going to cause problems? The answer is yes, of course. Of course it is because that's one that the left and those in government want to enforce.
Starting point is 00:47:42 We told you last hour the California National Guard put a fighter jet on alert in March 2020 for possible domestic mission. And that was because of COVID. The only one that would be allowed to call up the National Guard without guns would be the governor. He has to work in tandem with the president if he wants them armed. However, last year when people were starting to buy too much toilet paper, according to four sources and the Los Angeles Times, somebody gave the order to start warming up a fighter jet, an F-15. It was put on alert, and the idea was, I guess, it was going to buzz or stray, strafe people who are walking out in the parking lot of a Ralph's with too much toilet paper?
Starting point is 00:48:37 I have no idea. But who knows? Los Angeles Times. You know, why would they, what's their motivation for saying that that would be happening? Also, up in New York, the NYPD has experienced mass exodus of police officers, a 75% spike in departures. and retirements. That's 5,300 police officers in New York have retired or quit. 5300.
Starting point is 00:49:14 Now, what's New York going to do? Well, New York is going to, I mean, hmm. Well, they're going to probably, uh, well, you know what they could do? They could do what, um, Georgia did. What was this to about five years ago, eight years ago? There was a story how Georgia was having a hard time in Atlanta hiring police officers. And so they had to lower the standards. And that included people who had had jail time, which I like that.
Starting point is 00:49:52 Great. Yeah, that worked out well. They could go back in New York, though, just letting the mob patrol the streets. That worked out pretty well. Yeah, you're going to get that. You will get that. That will happen again. Apparently, this has happened because of budget cuts, the loss of plain closed units,
Starting point is 00:50:11 and the vote to end qualified immunity. They've kept their pay absurdly low. This according to the police union, ratcheted up our exposure to lawsuits. They've demonized us at every opportunity. They've taken away the tools we need to do the job that we all signed up for, which is to keep our community safe. Well, now they're spending money, NYPD is now spending money on slick recruiting ads. Be somebody.
Starting point is 00:50:42 Carry a badge. Is there, is there, who would do that? Who would sign up to be a cop today? I wouldn't go near it. And we, I always think of, you know, the police is basically the best people among us. And they clearly have more guts than I ever would. and to do that job in the first place. So it's admittedly possible that I'm just a wuss
Starting point is 00:51:06 and would just bail at the first opportunity. But like watching the way they get treated, you know, how do you do your job? When you pull up to a place where someone is about to be stabbed, right? About to be stabbed. And you do the thing that you should do, which is take out the person who's doing the stabbing. And you get this from Black Lives Matter.
Starting point is 00:51:28 At the exact time, the verdict of Derek Chauvin was being, red for murdering George Floyd, police wasted no time in senselessly taking another black child. That's how they summarized the Mackey, Bryant. Like, if you're the girl in pink who was about to be stabbed, can you imagine reading the word senselessly in that statement? Like, what do you mean it was senselessly killed? Like, she was in the middle of stabbing me. Is my life senseless? I thought black lives mattered. This is a black life that was about to be taken. That didn't happen because that officer acted the way that he did in a clear cut
Starting point is 00:52:07 case with perfect video with a knife showing up on video and still police are being vilified for it. Why? How could you show up every day? Well, you have the biological family showing up now of the shooting victim. Now, she was in foster care because her biological family put her there. But now they're like, this is here. That failed us. Did? Really? Yeah. I don't know the situation, but
Starting point is 00:52:39 they're now suing the police. Of course. Of course. For that, for that shooting. And again, you wonder why. And by the way, Philadelphia is doing the same thing. They're having a hard time keeping the police. Oh, but the police were loved by the left this
Starting point is 00:52:56 weekend. At least in Los Angeles. Homeless. homeless people were moved out of Union Station ahead of the Oscars. Oh, good. They wanted to make sure that they cleaned that area up for all the celebrities coming in. And so they, you know, the police were asked, could you just move these homeless people, some other homeless place? There's got to be. Where's John Voight's house?
Starting point is 00:53:19 Move them there. So they've, they've been moved. Meanwhile, black business owners at George Floyd Square. Did you see last week we had that story, Stu, about how George Floyd Square in Minneapolis has rules for white people? Yeah. Yeah. The racism is apparent. Every step.
Starting point is 00:53:48 I mean, it's not just, it's not the one, the type of racism they always talk about in the media. This stuff is happening from this. the left constantly where they're acting for a return of segregation, a return of making decisions based on skin color. They want that life back, which I don't, I can't comprehend. Well,
Starting point is 00:54:11 now I'm glad you're talking about race because the racist of the black domed businesses surrounding that memorial now, they're saying, please, please come back. These racist bigots, these blacks, that own businesses, racist.
Starting point is 00:54:28 They actually want the police to come back. They're struggling to stay open due to rampant crime. They say the police blocked off the intersection creating a dangerous autonomous zone. The city left me in dangerous,
Starting point is 00:54:43 says the smoke pit. They locked us up and left us behind. They were kicked out. I don't know if you. That's interesting. If you remember Glenn in the Seattle Autonomous Zone, the Chaz or the chop situation that we had last year,
Starting point is 00:54:58 they had their very own warlord, Raz Simone, who just kind of came in when the police were gone, he just became, he just took over and just started hitting people and kind of enforcing whatever his idea of the law was, at least this is what was reported.
Starting point is 00:55:16 So I think maybe that's the situation here. You need more warlords in these places. If you're not going to have cops, you need warlords. Let me tell you this. you're not going to get one in Portland, Oregon. Not as long as Ted Wheeler is on duty. Because, you know, the mayor, Ted Wheeler, he just arrived.
Starting point is 00:55:36 He's new to the scene. And he, over the weekend, boy, he said, I've had enough of this. And so he's going to extend the state of emergency. And he said, our job is to unmask Antifa and arrest them and prosecute them. I personally want to thank neighbors, friends, and families of others who have come forward with vital evidence. People know who these criminals are. They know what they're up to. If you have any information, contact the police.
Starting point is 00:56:09 I also want you to know that these people awful arrive at their so-called direct actions in cars. And they're all dressed in black, I've heard. If you see this, call the police. if you can provide a license plate, if you can do it safely, that information can help us later. Help us make a stand. We're doing what we can. I'm asking for your help to make a stand and take our city back.
Starting point is 00:56:35 Call the police. So, Mayor Ted, the only reason why I say he's a new mayor is because this isn't the mayor that's been there for the last few years, also named Ted Wheeler. it can't be because he was not for calling the police. He was not for charging or arresting any of these black-clad racist would say criminals. What happened? What happened there?
Starting point is 00:57:14 May I suggest there is a method to this madness? You know, we all say, what are you going to do? When the police leave, what are you going to do? Oh, I think I know. I think I know. And I'll give that to you in 60 seconds. Stand by. I want you to think about a, for just a minute.
Starting point is 00:57:38 Mmm, sizzling garlic, lime shrimp on a wooden skewer. Corn on the cob, wrapped in foil, a thick pat of butter lying across the scorching hot surface of a grill. And taking on all those good grill marks, like a good tan, the juiciness of a thick marble. Steak-O. Yes. What do you have planned for dinner?
Starting point is 00:58:01 Because you could have that with rec tech. And you could even do it without spending any time outside. All you do is you put the food on. You already just with your phone on your way home, you're like, fire up the grill. With the app on your phone, you fire up the grill. It's at perfect temperature when you arrive. You've just gotten back from the grocery store where you picked up that steak and the, and the butter and the corn on the.
Starting point is 00:58:26 Cobb. You throw it on there, you go change your clothes before you know it. Boom, it's done. Rec tech. It's sturdy. It's smart. It's dinner time. Rec tech on all social media.
Starting point is 00:58:39 Sign up for their newsletter. Just A, B, compare them with the best in the business, and you will find nothing beats a rec tech. R-E-C-E-C-E-C-E-C-E-C-E-C-E-C-E-C-C-E-C-E-C-C-E-C-C-E-C-T-E-C-E-C-T-E-C-E-C-E-D. All right, so, Stu, let me give you one more story and then see what you think of this theory. Representative Elon Omar plans to reintroduce a bill this week that would create a federal agency to independently investigate police killings and in-custody deaths. the eight-member board would be appointed by the president to carry out investigations into police use of force and issue findings and determinations of responsibility.
Starting point is 00:59:33 If police departments don't follow through on the board's recommendation, their federal funding would be cut. It's going to be a proactive board that does the work on our behalf of the country to try to make it sure that these agents of the law are taking their oath seriously. Okay, all righty, okay. So what does that mean? What that means is the federal government and the White House itself will be in charge of which police forces they deem good and which are bad. At the same time they're doing this, they're not protecting the police from lawsuits and litigation, and that is driving people out of the force. 5,000 police officers are needed to just catch up with the retirement and the people leaving, you know, for another police job, I'm sure. 5,000 people are needed and New York doesn't know where they're going to get it.
Starting point is 01:00:30 Philadelphia doesn't know where they're going to get it. Nobody knows where they're going to get these police officers. So you could lower the standards, but if there's a crisis, and I mean a crisis of crime, Well, you got to do something, right? Hey, I know, why don't we, because we don't know which forces are good and which ones are bad, why don't we just federalize the police force? That way, we can take trusted officials that we know, and we can just put them in the local communities,
Starting point is 01:01:05 and we can fill all those spots because you're not part of the, you know, L.A. police, which we all know is racist, you now are part of the federal police. Hmm. This does seem like... DHS could take it over. DHS. As they want to pass the George Floyd Act that would, you know, pass all these restrictions on police and take incredible amounts of control over what's supposed to be a localized force. That is an interesting theory.
Starting point is 01:01:38 It does seem pretty consistent with the way they're acting. Yeah. Well, it's just what every Marxist does when they take. over you know Venezuela or Cuba or any other place they always federalize the police which would be well it would only be doing it now because we're in crisis you know which they had nothing to do with creating oh no no no we'd have to do that and you know what at least we'd have the military but i don't really trust the military until we get rid of all those red staters you know what i mean if we could just get all the red staters to to leave the military
Starting point is 01:02:15 Because they're really dangerous. I don't know if you know this, but they're very, very dangerous. Then we could have a pure military and a federalized police force. Wouldn't that be great? You would never need a gun. Solved.
Starting point is 01:02:30 We can get rid of the Second Amendment too. I mean, as if it's not already being disposed of. I've just, I've just reimagined the whole police force thing. I've just reimagined it. And it works. You know, it would be a great way to interview.
Starting point is 01:02:45 I'm just throwing this out there. A giant missile parade through all of our cities. What if we had really big like pictures? Like building size pictures of you know Biden and Harris that would let people know how much they
Starting point is 01:03:01 cared about the people across the country. Just something like that. Yeah. If we could just find, we could just find a like if we just had a home safety department or or something like that to put in charge.
Starting point is 01:03:19 We could federalize this police force and solve all of these shortages of police overnight. Fans of this program, no, I'm not really joking. Hustler Turf, every time you went to mow your lawn, what if every time you had the feeling that you were riding around on just like a tank? My wife loves to drive our truck because she's like, I'm up four stories.
Starting point is 01:03:49 and I feel like I'm in charge of a tank. Well, that would be great if you were mowing your lawn, but could that tank also cut the work in about half the time? Yes. And if you could make that happen on a zero-turn mower made by the company that invented them in the first place, yes, you can. They're called Hustler Turf, and these are the people that back in the 1950s and early 1960s
Starting point is 01:04:15 invented the zero-turn lawnmower. They not only invented it, they perfected it, they perfected it and they made it just tough as nails like a tank so it wouldn't break down because it was made for industrial use, meaning it would mow lawns every day, six or seven days a week. So you don't think it can handle your lawn? Before you buy some other mower, make sure you find a hustler dealer. Go and test drive one at hustlerturf.com. Hustlerturf.com. At the Oscars they always asked, what are you wearing? Today, I'm wearing my Nancy Pelosi Sucks t-shirt. You can get it at Studeau's merch.
Starting point is 01:04:48 com. This is the Glenn Beck program. I want to talk to a little bit about something else the government is doing. Not only are we decimating our towns and our police force, I urge you to support the police. I urge you to stop this insanity against our police, or we will end up with a federal police force. I mean, what else are you going to do? You can't hire somebody.
Starting point is 01:05:25 The federal government can say, well, we are the trusted source you go to. That's what Marxists always do. Don't think that's not in the plan. Now, they're also decimating our economy, and I mean decimating it. Consumer prices are going up. We told you last week, Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, they raise raising prices this week on a ton of things. They say it's because of raw materials, you know, ranging from lumber to resin.
Starting point is 01:06:00 And they need to take the steps to protect their profits. The price, the price is surging for paper towels, jars of peanut butter. Consumer package goods rose 9.4%. 9.4%. Now, they have, they have. they have pulled back on some of the manufacturing, sorry, some of the commercials and the advertising in markets because they don't have enough product. And inflation is coming.
Starting point is 01:06:40 It's already here. According to the Institute of for Study Management, the latest survey showed net 40% of manufacturers are reporting that their customer inventories are too. low. What does that mean? Have you waited for anything that you've never had to wait for before? I can't believe how tolerant America is being right now. I think it must be because you think it's COVID related, but it's not. It's partially COVID related. But how many things have you waited for? How many things that you've ordered or you've gone into stores and always had access to? All of a sudden you're like, where is that? Oh, it's on back order. It's on what? When Americans figure out
Starting point is 01:07:27 that this is your life and the life that the world has planned for you, you're not going to like it, but by that time, it will be too late to do anything about it. So why are the inventories too low? Well, let's just go through this. Farmers need labor to do. to pick the produce. Factories that make consumer packaged goods, meat packing plants that process beef, pork chicken, they need people in doing their job. Ports are congested.
Starting point is 01:08:04 Truck drivers are in short supply. Food workers are supposed to socially distance each other, even though they were the first in line, along with the critical workers in the hospital to get the vaccines. Many of these plants still remain shuttered. And the problem is they can't hire people. Nobody is going back to work because of a disastrous welfare program.
Starting point is 01:08:37 The outrageous unemployment benefits and the $1.9 trillion plus coronavirus legislation is creating now an incentive for people not to work. We, I just, I can't, I just, please make the renovation of the house just stop. We started the dumbest time ever. And now we're sitting here and I was talking to the contractor and I'm like, we just get more people, make this stop, please. And he's like, then we can't get people to drive trucks and pick up loads of stuff. He's like, I have a friend who drives some sort of a hauler oil.
Starting point is 01:09:17 you have to do, it's $20 an hour, all you have to do is drive the truck, it's flatbed, and you go someplace, they put a bunch of wood or whatever on it, you drive it to wherever you're supposed to drive it, you push a button and drive slowly, and the flatbed slowly lifts up and all that stuff, you know, falls off the back of the truck, you know, like any good mob story. He said, we can't get people to $20. We can't get them to take the job. Why? Because they're sitting at home. It pays more to be on unemployment than it does.
Starting point is 01:09:53 What's happening now in McDonald's, McDonald's in Florida is now paying people $50 just to show up for an interview. They still can't get people to come for just the interview. I don't know. Seems like a problem, America. 40% of small businesses are struggling to fill open positions. Even after offering wage increases, people are not going back to work. You can earn, they say, 70, 80 or 90% of what they were making without having to do any work. A week on unemployment in Massachusetts under the current system, you can earn $1,100. One, if you were working, one would make around $600.
Starting point is 01:10:51 If you're working a $15 an hour a week job, you're making $600. They're paying you almost double to stay home. It's irresponsible to go to work. It is. It is. Just like they dismantled the black family, black family in the 60s, had better stats than white families. I mean, they stayed married, the kids at home, kids out of born out of wedlock, all of it, all of it.
Starting point is 01:11:22 Tremendous. Then it became irresponsible to claim that you're a dad and to stay at home, break up the family and the family can get more aid. Now look what we have. Now there's something else that's going on. The housing market has gone through the roof. By the way, I would like to know why there is a problem with concrete. in this country. I mean, I know we're running out of sand.
Starting point is 01:11:50 Don't laugh at that. That's actually happening. But that's not the reason for this. Why is concrete so difficult to get? Is that a labor shortage as well? You can't get people to roll in with the trucks. I have a friend trying to buy some concrete up north, and he said, I have to call the concrete place.
Starting point is 01:12:13 He said, I swear it's run by the mob. I have to call the concrete. place between 7 and 715 and say, can I get on your role for a concrete delivery today? If you miss it at 715, good luck. Try again tomorrow. What kind of business is that? The median house sale, the price, increased 18% year over year. Forty-five percent of the homes selling today are getting more than their list price, an all-time high. The average sale to list price ratio, which measures how close homes are selling to their asking price, increase two and a half percentage points. It's an all-time high of 101%. That means the average home gets $1 more for every
Starting point is 01:13:04 $100 they're asking. Fifty-eight percent of the homes that went under contract had an accepted offer within the first two weeks. Forty-six percent of the homes that went under contract had an accepted offer within one week of hitting the market. Meanwhile, here's the problem. The supply is at record lows. The demand is high, quoting the report, because of fiscal stimulus and an exodus from rental units and a near record low mortgage rate. So everything the government is currently doing, is driving the price of the house through the roof towards all-time highs. Now, why is there a shortage? Well, the houses going up for sale are down 10% from the same period.
Starting point is 01:14:12 Wait, the houses being marketed. Yeah, you know why? Stu, would you sell your house today? Would I answer that without the ice damn it? Yeah. Would you sell your house today here in Texas? Seems like it's a good time to sell your house. Though the problem with that is, of course, you have to buy one too.
Starting point is 01:14:33 Buy one. That's the problem. People are coming in and they're saying, hey, will you sell your house? I guess when it first happened, smart people would go, yes. But now everybody's going, but where would I buy a house? because anything I buy is going to be inflated in price and I'm going to have 20 people ahead of me that I have to outbid. Yeah. A real world example of this, Glenn, is when we lived up in the Northeast before we came to Texas, we lived outside of Philadelphia initially.
Starting point is 01:15:05 And I bought a house. What was it? 2003 or four, whenever that was. And then we moved to New York to do this show on CNN headline news and everything. So I moved to another place actually in Pennsylvania. but when I did that, I went from 2004 to 2006 or 7, whatever it was. It was a very short period of time. And I made a ridiculous profit off of this house.
Starting point is 01:15:30 You know, I always put that in air quotes because of all the actual expenditures that go along with a house. But like percentage-wise, from what I bought it to what I, you know, sold it for, we were up, I don't know, 30 or 40% in like two years. And which is crazy for real estate. Incredible. And then I went and bought a bigger house at the same peak of the market. and then when I had to sell that, I got killed because that's what happens in these bubbles. And when you want to get into. I mean, if you sell your house, right, you sell your house.
Starting point is 01:15:59 I really want to know, I'd love to talk to somebody who knows about this. Maybe we get Schiller on from price, from, what is that? Key Schiller Index. Yeah, Case Schiller. We've talked, we've had Schiller on before, I think, or was it case, one of those two clowns. And what I'd like to do. No, they're really not. What I'd like to know, though, is if you're building a house, your house, how do you get a loan to build a house today when, A, you know it's going to be 30% higher just in building materials?
Starting point is 01:16:33 So it's not even just the land. It's the lumber. Lumber is up, what, 80% now? 80% more for lumber? So what, so if you're paying 80% more, let's say your house is, uh, you know, a $300,000 house. It would probably cost you $350, $375 if you were building it today because of the increased costs of everything, if you could even build it.
Starting point is 01:17:02 Once the market corrects on lumber and everything else, your house isn't going to be worth that. So how do you get a loan? I mean, how do you get a loan to buy that house? You don't. How do you keep your loan? If you're upside down, Stu, isn't there some trigger when you're really upside down in a house that you have to come up with more equity in it? Is that right?
Starting point is 01:17:30 If your house collapses in price, do you have to come up with more equity? Do you know? I'm sure there's some, yeah, scenarios where that could happen. I'm not sure off the top of my head what you're referring to, though. I would love to talk to, see if we can get, uh, shillor on because I'd like to talk to him about the housing market because nothing makes sense right now nothing makes sense more in just a second standby sponsor this half hours blinds.com you know instead of selling your house how about fixing it up a bit right now blinds.com is

He's going to talk about the pro second amendment law that he just passed or was just passed and he just signed. We'll talk to him about that coming up in just a minute.
Starting point is 01:19:45 And there is a case to have Schiller on now. The case Schiller index was something we looked at a lot before the crash. of 08 because it tells you what houses should be selling for. Yeah, you used to always, it kind of was one of the main things like starting your analysis that there was going to be a crash coming. It was part of it at least. And you talked about it in 2005, 2006, 2007.
Starting point is 01:20:10 And so if you go back to 2000, it starts, the index starts at 100. And it rose all the way up in 2006 to, I mean, all the way up to 206. I remember it was in the 200s. Yeah. And that means the house is double what it should be. People are paying double what they should be paying.
Starting point is 01:20:33 Right. Then they had the crash, right? The correction. So it drops all the way down in 2008 and everyone forgets about housing prices. And then it slowly starts climbing back up. And then it hits 206 again. But that happens in January of 2018. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 01:20:51 Oh, my gosh. So since then, it has climbed and climbed and climbed and climbed. And it got all the way up in June 2020 to 223, which again is 17 points higher than it was at the peak of 2008. Wait, wait, wait, wait. That was it last year? Yeah, that was in the middle of COVID. Since then, it is skyrocketed again from 223 in June of 2020, all the way up to 245 today. So we've gone from 206 was.
Starting point is 01:21:22 the scary bubble time in 2008. We're now at 2.45. You can sell your house. Just don't buy a new one. But you might want to sell your house. Wow. More on this and cryptocurrency and the dollar coming up. Stand by.
Starting point is 01:21:42 This is the Glenn Back. So for a long time now, we've been talking about there's got to be somebody that will help you if you've been the platform for social. media for expressing conservative views. Maybe you have been, you've been fired terminated because of political reasons. You're a student and you've been forced into these racial bias training that, you know, compels you to make statements about your race that you disagree with. This can stop and we have a way out and a way for you to have protection. We'll tell you about it in 60 seconds. So you're walking out of the car. car parts store carrying the new part you needed ever since your engine went could put on the

Growing up like Jay Leno, I wish I would have grown up like Jay Leno and working on cars and knowing everything inside and out, you can't do that now because everything is sealed in that engine.

Starting point is 01:24:35 There are blacklists that are happening now. unfortunately in several parts of the country. And our freedom of speech is being squashed. I want to bring in Daniel Sir. He's a senior attorney of Liberty Justice Center. And Daniel, we've been talking back and forth for a while now to try to figure out how we can help people who are in this situation.
Starting point is 01:24:59 And the best way to help them is to make sure that it never happens again. And so we need to find some good cases. Do I have this right? Amen, Glenn. Right now, you and I both know, your listeners know, conservatives in this country, we are under attack. The reality is that the left and their social justice warriors, they have weaponized the wokeism, this ideology that's taken over, and they are taking down anyone who dares to speak up on behalf of conservative viewpoints. They are in a search and destroy mission, Glenn. I think you said it best about your listeners and other folks who share these views. They want to censor them.
Starting point is 01:25:47 They want to take them down on social media. They take them down at school, in government, and even in the workplace. And so we think the answer to social justice warriors is what we're calling at Liberty Justice Center, 1A warriors, people who will stand up and fight back on behalf of the First Amendment. This is going to take a lot of guts because people know, you know, it's one thing when they try to curb your freedom of speech and say, you can't say these things. But it's gone beyond that. It's now you must participate in these things. And if you disagree, it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 01:26:28 So, I mean, you're going to be a pariah and you'll possibly lose your job or, you know, lose your standing in school. and I mean, I don't know how many people are really willing to do that without the hope of it saving somebody else, even if it doesn't save them. Well, Glenn, is that they are clearly coordinated in their effort to take down not just conservative ideas, but conservative Americans. Like, look at what happens on social media when they just swarm somebody they disagree with and they demand that they get canceled, fired, expelled. They operate in a coordinated team basis. And the best way to fight back is also to be a team. And that's why Liberty Justice Center, like, we want to be your lawyers.
Starting point is 01:27:25 And you, Glenn, like you've got the microphone to share this message. And people who go through these experiences, they don't have to do it alone. It's hard enough to stand up. It's even harder when it down on you and you feel isolated and alone. And that's why we need 1A warrior and join with us. We team together to fight back. Okay. So we have two fronts we're fighting.
Starting point is 01:27:58 If you are a case that fits the parameters where, which are what, people who are terminated for political reasons, right? Absolutely. It's people who are touring at their job. It's students who are being forced through this critical theory. stuff that's infecting our curriculum. I mean, there was a young man the other day who got an F in a required class, and they were going to fail him from high school because he wouldn't repeat the government-imposed ideology about critical race theory.
Starting point is 01:28:36 It's people who are on social media who are being de-platformed or are losing their business or unable to advertise their product. The censorship is happening across our society. And so the fight back and the lawsuits back will equally happen in every sector or society because the First Amendment isn't bounded by particular lines. It protects all of us when the government goes after us. Okay. So they call you and then you listen and see if there's a case there.
Starting point is 01:29:10 and if there's a case, you guys will work with them on that case and it's free of charge? Believe in it, and we have generous donors who want to be on this team together with us. So folks can go to Liberty JusticeCenter.org backslash 1A Warrior. If you think you're a victim of cancel culture, we want to hear your story. On your team, justice center.org, backslash 1A.A. Warrior. But if you haven't been a victim yet, but you're afraid of it and you should be, we equally need you to go to that website, sign up, learn about cancel culture, learn about the rights that you have so that when it's you or one of your friends or somebody you know from your community who becomes a victim of the cancel culture, you are ready for it. And then we can fight back effectively and together. My wife and I would like to make a donation today and start things off.
Starting point is 01:30:17 So we will be donating today. And I would ask that every single one of our listeners do the same. If it's not happened to you yet, it will unless we stop it in the court system. It's got to stop through the court system. This is, you know, really the last line of defense here. When common sense fails, it's got to go to the court system. And if you are represented by the right attorneys and we find the right cases, it can go to the Supreme Court and we can win and it will stop it everywhere. They're looking to set precedent that in each of these individual cases, the best thing we can do to protect everybody is to win a few big court cases.
Starting point is 01:31:07 And let's be honest, we got a great Supreme Court right now. We have justices who understand the importance of the First Amendment. The founders gave us the Constitution to last for centuries, right? And the First Amendment is there for all the different challenges our society goes through. And the challenge we're in right now is this censorship and cancel culture. And the answer today is the same answer as any other point in our society. The First Amendment protects you. and the Supreme Court and judges are going to stand up for that as long as they have the opportunity,
Starting point is 01:31:45 the cases, to rule on and set that precedent. That's why it's so important. If you feel like you've been a victim of cancel culture, contact us at Liberty Justice Center. Let us represent you for free. And let's get some cases going where the judges and equally our friends in the media and people like you, Glenn, can start to cover a shift back towards. freedom. And employers and universities, they'll pick up on it and they'll change their behavior. Tell me what is required, you know, when you say you've been fired for political
Starting point is 01:32:21 reasons, how clear does it have to be? I mean, I would imagine it has to be really quite clear. So tell me some of the things that you've been seeing that would qualify. Yeah, absolutely, Glenn. It, every one of these cases is going to be a little bit unique. the facts are important anytime you're in a court of law. And so, you know, I want to be up front that when people contact us, we want to work with you to see if you have a case that can win. We want to only bring cases that are going to win and help other people by setting good precedent. But one of the things we know is that this is happening a whole bunch of different times, places in ways. And so sometimes it might be that you're forced to say something you don't believe,
Starting point is 01:33:10 right? You're asked in a class at school or you're asked in your employment setting to talk about your own racial identity and to repeat things that they are imposing on you that you don't believe. That is compelled speech and the freedom of speech protects you from that. We know that they're going after organizations and donors. The Supreme Court has a hugely important case right now today where they are trying to protect private nonprofit organizations from being them financially. And so this is happening in a variety of contexts. Every case will be a little bit different, but the First Amendment is going to protect people in all these different settings. And the only way we can figure out if your case is a good fit case, if, again, you go to
Starting point is 01:34:04 Libertyjusticecenter.org backslash 1A Warrior and tell us about it and get on the team and together we can fight back. Thank you so much. I appreciate it, Daniel. We'll talk again. I'd like to hear some of the cases that are coming in
Starting point is 01:34:19 and what you hear from audience members. We'll check in maybe later this week or early next week. That'd be awesome. I appreciate it. Thank you. Libertyjusticecenter.org slash 1A.A. Warrior. First Amendment warrior.

They're not going to give that much power away. So what does that mean? Well, you've gone from one fiat currency to kind of another fiat currency, but a better one with cryptocurrency.

Waiting to hear from you now at 866 Goldline.
Starting point is 01:37:59 them now. 866 goldline or goldline.com. 10 seconds. Station on you. We have the governor of Montana on with us in just a second. He signed a second amendment law into place this weekend, which I think was great. We want to talk to him about that. Also, Stu, the Biden climate pledge. Have you heard what seems to be in this pledge? I mean, to go, to cut our emissions by 50%. is how difficult by 2030. It's basically impossible in any rational world.
Starting point is 01:38:45 Like you could attempt to do it. You could spend trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars attempting it. It wouldn't do any, it wouldn't make any difference and it would cost so much money. It's incomprehensible. Especially that fast. So they're saying now that they're going to give you incentives
Starting point is 01:39:02 for making your home reliant for heat on electricity. Why would they do that? If you go back to electric heating, over oil I get, over gas, why would you do that? And where is this electricity coming from? Just the electric magic box that's in everybody's wall? It's filled with gnomes, yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:30 They're producing electricity that's carbon-free in the wall via gnome. you know, it's interesting because they can't, they seem to be wanting to centralize all of this, all of our large structures in, in the world of electricity, which in theory can make sense because if you have a way of generating, you know, let's say emission free power, that's, you know, very easy and well understood. If they were saying, if they were saying we're going to build 10 new nuclear plants or 20 new nuclear. plans and we need everybody to go on electricity. That would be a plan I think people could understand. Right. And you'd be like, okay, all right. Because you're going to put all of our cars and all of our heat and all of these other things
Starting point is 01:40:15 on electricity, then all you have to do is control the source of electricity if you want to, again, from their perspective, control emissions. Right. And like, I honestly think, like, you can always tell if an environmentalist is serious if they embrace nuclear or not. If someone is someone is a serious environmentalist. and they really believe in global warming and the catastrophic possibilities, obviously you'd be running to nuclear power right now.
Starting point is 01:40:40 I mean, it's clear. Total sense. You know, it makes sense. It's been able to carry an entire country's electricity needs before. It's not just like you're like trying to hope that maybe solar panels come along far enough, and maybe they will at some point. But nuclear would be something you'd obviously be embracing and they typically don't embrace it. But when you centralize all of this, when you're,
Starting point is 01:41:03 and you're throwing it all into electricity when really natural gas is a big part of that, but coal is still a big chunk of our electricity in this country. And it's going to continue to be for some time, though it's decreasing slowly.
Starting point is 01:41:20 You wonder why they want, I mean, we don't have the infrastructure as they say to support everything being... No, that's what the infrastructure. No, no, that's what that infrastructure is for. Sure it is. I mean, it's not. It doesn't it actually doesn't cover any of that stuff. But that's what they would have you believe.
Starting point is 01:41:35 That's what we're doing. But we're not doing that. By the way, it will require 65% of all new car and SUV sales, 10% of new trucks to be electric. That's one thing that we could do that would be big. No, it wouldn't do anything. That would not make even a dent in this issue. No, it would. It would.
Starting point is 01:41:56 It would. It would not. It would not. Do I need you to say these cars. I went to this. camp last weekend and it was great. It was great. I learned all kinds of things. Great snacks at these camps I've seen. Yeah. No red meat. That's another thing. Excuse me. That's another thing. They're saying that Americans will have to cut
Starting point is 01:42:17 their meat consumption by 90%. Mm-hmm. Even so you get four pounds of red meat per year per person. That's one hamburger a month. Four pounds of meat per. year. That's one hamburger a month. I don't see Americans doing that. No. But maybe it's just me. So if you've been in a timeshare involved anyway, you probably know, not all timeshares are created equally. Some are good, some are bad, and most of them are bad. But, you know, getting out of them may seem like an attractive idea once all the newness of the idea wears off. And then you realize, holy cow, I'm drastically overpaying for something I barely even using. How did I do this? How did I not know that? Well, to get out takes a sophisticated legal team specifically devoted to timeshares.
Starting point is 01:43:18 That's it. That's all they do. That team of lawyers is called the timeshare termination team. And they're here to make sure that any situation you're stuck in, they can turn it upside down because you have had your life turned upside down. You're tired of the madness. You can reach out to them and they will get you out of your timeshare, guarantee. or every penny you pay back. It's timeshare termination team.
Starting point is 01:43:46 Get the process started today. Don't keep putting it off and get stuck with another year of time share you won't use. You'll get 20% off when you terminate your timeshare. So make sure you tell them that I sent you to get that 20% off. Timeshareterminationteam.com or 8 at 8 get you out. And head over to blazTV.com slash Glenn. The promo code is Glenn.

Starting point is 01:44:09 This is the Glenn Beck program. We welcome the governor of the great state of Montana. Greg Gianforte is joining us now. He is the guy who won with the largest margin for a first-term governor since 1920. And he's doing something to help and strengthen the Constitution. Actually, a couple things. Welcome, Governor. How are you, sir? Glenn, it's good to be with you. Thanks for having me on. Thank you. So tell me, first of all, what you just saw. signed, which was bill 258. Yeah, this was on Friday.
Starting point is 01:44:50 This is about protecting our second amendment. Second amendment is very clear. Our right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. We'd be concerned about what we see coming out of the Biden administration. I'll always protect that right, which is why I, on Friday, signed a bill that will prohibit the enforcement of any federal ban or regulation. on Montana's Second Amendment rights. So what does that mean exactly? I mean, because I, and your bill covers this, I could see them come in and saying,
Starting point is 01:45:27 we're going to make it difficult to buy ammunition or we'll just tax the snot out of it or, you know, we're going to come and confiscate guns. What exactly does it mean and cover? It essentially says Montana law enforcement does not have to enforce. federal gun bans that are unconstitutional and violate Montana's Second Amendment. So that's what it's about. We in Montana, we have a long heritage and respect for the Constitution and particularly our Second Amendment. And it's critically important. This bill had passed the state legislature in the past. It had been vetoed by Democrat governors here. I was proud to sign it into law on Friday.
Starting point is 01:46:15 I know you have a long tradition there. My family is from that. We came from, you know, overseas, and all of them ended up in Montana, so a lot of the Beck family is up in Montana, and it's beautiful, beautiful country and right-thinking Americans. I was going to ask you. We have a spot for you here.
Starting point is 01:46:40 You should come back. Okay. All right. I want to tell you that, it's my memory that Montana kind of went off the rails there for a while. Is my memory correct? I thought you guys were going really lefty for a while during the Obama administration. Is that a faulty memory or is it?
Starting point is 01:47:00 When I got elected in November, I was the first Republican elected to the governor's office in 20 years. So we had lost our way. and we're you know so there's a lot of heavy lifting going on to kind of deregulate to lower taxes to create more good paying jobs and and protect our constitutional rights in fact later today i'm going to sign into law a whole handful of pro-life bills we respect life here in montana and it's important uh that we uh that we do that i was pleased back in february uh to sign a constitutional carry bill, which is also Second Amendment related. Every Montana should be able to defend themselves. And in February, we joined 20 other states that now allow
Starting point is 01:47:54 law-abiding citizens to carry a concealed firearm. And that makes everybody safer. So when you sign this bill on Friday, I know Asia Hussington, the bill is the bill is being called by him and others as something that will really hurt your state in working with federal officials on other things. Do you believe that at all? I don't believe that's true. There's different versions of this bill. And the governor of Arkansas, their legislature had a bill that went quite a bit further than what we did here in Montana. This is really focused just on federal regulations as it relates to firearms. And if there's a immigration-related issue, we're still going to cooperate.
Starting point is 01:48:47 In fact, one of the other things I did since the beginning of the year is we signed into law bill that bans sanctuary cities here in Montana because we need to abide by the law. So you're not getting any of the people coming across our border shipped up into Montana. Well, what we get in Montana, we used to have Montana, meth, and we've done a good job of police in that. Now we get Mexican meth, and this is why this tragedy at the southern border is such a big issue, because it's literally ripping our families and our communities apart. I had a local law enforcement officer in the central part of Montana tell me he knows when the Mexican meth arrives because he sees a spike in the crime rate.
Starting point is 01:49:36 That's how closely correlated is. We have cartels operating here in Montana. And it's just, it's a tragedy. I can't believe it. And then you have, you know, Kevin Costner and his family being shot in the streets. And, I mean, what is up with that? Obviously not a fan of Yellowstone. Do you watch Yellowstone? I have, I watched the first season.
Starting point is 01:50:02 It's, you know, the, how did you? The scenery, the scenery is legit. I totally give you that. The rest of the show is a caricature. No. No. Shut up. That's not happening up there.
Starting point is 01:50:18 That's not a real place. I will tell you, though. There's a thread of truth in every story, but that's not real. I will tell you that I, my wife and I, we love it. We absolutely love it. And it's weird because I know it's Hollywood. It's not out of control like that. you know, well, maybe in New York, but it's not in places like Montana.
Starting point is 01:50:43 But there is this cowboy mentality that Montana has, Wyoming has it, a few states have it, you know, Colorado used to have it, where it's a very federalist kind of attitude of we take care of things locally, back out of our community. and there's something nice about that. Well, it started back when Montana was just a territory with the vigilantes. They were here. They took the law under their own hands. And there's a fierce independent streak in Montanans. We're freedom-loving.
Starting point is 01:51:21 We're patriotic. We have one of the highest per capita ratios of military service in the country. One out of ten Montanans have served in uniform. We love our country. How do you feel about them looking at, you know, all the service members as possibly dangerous radicals? It's not going to happen here. Governor, I love your attitude. I love your attitude.
Starting point is 01:51:52 I don't know why we haven't had you on before, but I'm glad we had you on today. My pleasure. It's, you know, my wife and I have lived the American dream. We've been blessed. I've been in business my whole career. I had the great pleasure of representing Montana back in the U.S. Congress for three and a half years. And now I'm back home. And we're leading the Montana comeback.
Starting point is 01:52:16 And for folks that aren't going to Europe this summer, let me just say, come and see us in Montana. We've got Glacier National Park. We have Yellowstone National Park. And you'll fall in love and then you'll probably talk to a real estate agent. Well, I will tell you, I'm going to be in your state this summer. I am going to Yellowstone this summer. So maybe we'll see you there with the forest strangers. Yeah, yeah. Thanks so much, Governor. I appreciate it.
Starting point is 01:52:40 Okay. Governor Greg Gianforte from the state of Montana. You know, I don't think people understand the West. I mean, Stu, you're in Connecticut. When you think of Montana and Wyoming, what was your thinking when you were a kid? You know, when you were growing up, most people, I think, that just. stay in the east, they still think of those places like what? Yeah, mountains, cold ranchers.
Starting point is 01:53:14 That's probably the three things that would have popped in. That's it. That's it. That's when you're a kid, that's what, you know, you get kind of a... I tell you, if you went up and you spent some time, have you ever been to Wyoming or Montana or... I haven't spent tons of time there. You know, been in there for stuff we've done together and stuff, but that's about it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:53:32 That's not enough time. you should go on vacation up there. You would, you'd positively become addicted to it because it's just this freedom thing. I mean, it really is a federalist attitude of, you know, stay out of my face. What are you doing?
Starting point is 01:53:46 Stay out of my face, government. We're taking care of it fine here locally. And it's, it's America as it used to be, and hopefully someday will be again. Our sponsor this half hour is Rough Greens. Susan lives in North Carolina. She writes in about her dogs,
Starting point is 01:54:02 experience with rough greens. She said, I'm really happy to say that my dog actually eats this product willingly. I had tried many vitamin and probiotic supplements, but she always turns her nose away and refuses them. Not the case with rough greens. I'm really impressed by the ingredient list compared to those other supplements. So thank you, thank you, thank you, rough greens. Susan loves her dog. I love my dog. I know you love yours and you want them to be healthy. That's why I feed Uno, Rough Greens. Now, Rough Greens, not a dog food. It is a supplement. You sprinkle on the dog's food. It's full of vitamins and minerals and probiotics and antioxidants. Most of the things that are going to make your dog healthy and happy. We just got Uno back from the vet yesterday. And our vet's like, I don't know what's going on, but your dog is like three years old. And he's nine. And that's old for a German Shepherd. But he is. He's happier and he's healthier. And thanks to Rough Greens. Try it now yourself. Roughgreens. RUFFGreens.com slash Beck, Roughgreens.com slash Beck. Or call 83333 Glenn 33, Roughgreens.com slash Beck. So let's go to some of the Democrats in Congress. They've had a few things to say, here's one of the Democrats in Congress on the district of Columbia becoming its own state.
Starting point is 01:55:42 Those two states having more representation, which is to say really any representation, because Delegate Holmes Norton can't even vote on legislation, unfortunately. And the difference between those two states, aside from the fact that they have less that they have less fewer people than in Washington, D.C., is that they are overwhelmingly white states. This is an issue of racial justice in addition to being an issue of democracy. And we must stop disenfranchising people of color in this country. It's time to stop doing it. Oh, man. See, at first I wasn't for it because I thought this was just a power play for the Democrats, but now I understand it's racial justice, and I'm all turned around on that.
Starting point is 01:56:23 Same thing happened to me with the soccer star that was talking about trans sports this weekend. Listen. Well, in general, I think there's just a tremendous amount of misinformation about trans youth in general. And then to your point, Lana, the fact that, you know, these bills do uphold white supremacy under the guise of protecting women's sport. When we actually know that women's sport, production of it would be to have more funding, have more women in leadership positions, equal pay. So reality, though, is that these trans youth just want to participate with their friends and play sport just like everyone else. Okay. That's all that is.
Starting point is 01:57:07 and, you know, they want to have equal pay, even though nobody wants to go see women's sports. I mean, I'm not one to talk because I don't want to see any sport anyway. But I'm thinking if there was something that would be higher on the scale of things not to do, would be go to see professional women's sports. I'm just saying. Yeah, it seems like the market has made a similar decision. With a couple of exceptions, figure skating.
Starting point is 01:57:36 But did you? Maybe gymnastics, maybe tennis is up there. Yes. Volleyball. Women's golf probably is pretty good. Yeah, but not near the PGA, but it's there. It exists, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:57:51 But you're right. You know, you make extra, you make money in sports when the franchise is making money because you're on the team. Or you could make it because of fairness. It's another way to go. You could. You could. You could.
Starting point is 01:58:05 Well, it's not only fairness in pay, in pay. This is all really white supremacy, as we just found out, as we just found out. And here's another cut like this one, Shovein supporters. If you supported Shovem, here's Ilan Omar. Many of us saw that video and witnessed a lynching take place. It shouldn't be that surprising that there are still segments in our society. that believe it is justifiable for a black man to be lynched. But it's going to be important for us to confront that reality,
Starting point is 01:58:45 to confront our past history, and to find ways to move forward as a society. I didn't know that there was a big segment of society that thought it was okay to lynch people. In fact, I've never met any of those people. Have you? I've been all over the country. I've met all kinds of different people and I've never met those people.
Starting point is 01:59:09 If you pulled that, what would it come out to? 0%? What was that segment of society she's talking about? Well, probably 0.0.08, maybe, I'm thinking. There's probably like, you know, there's a few people, I'm sure, that believe pretty much everything in this world. But it's not exactly a mainstream position. Not one at this point we are concerned about as far as lynching is, I mean, there were thousands of them a long time ago. Kind of old-time.
Starting point is 01:59:36 Yeah, kind of old-time. Why lynch people when you can have the lizard people that are currently running our government, just eat them? Just what now? Eat them. Oh, yeah. No. That's true. That's not something cheap.
Starting point is 01:59:51 Yeah, the GOP lizard people, they see black people as some sort of a food source. So that's why the Republicans are not for lynching. They just want the lizard people to eat them. I would not be surprised if that segment airs on CNN later this week. It really is bizarre. This focus, constant focus on race as really the only thing that matters in society is fascinating. You know, all these, you know, from race to whatever other phobic they're accusing Republicans of these days. And now we're to the point where, I mean, they're even saying like they're trashing Caitlin Jenner because I guess, I don't know, she's not.
Starting point is 02:00:33 pro trans enough? I'm really having trouble keeping track of it all. She's going to run as a republicans and now she's evil. Right. She's evil. She's not on the right side politically. So of course she's not trans enough. I'd love to have her on the show. I'd love
Starting point is 02:00:49 to do an episode with Caitlin Jenner. I think that would be having her as governor would just be fun. It would just be fun. Come on. It's the Glenn Beck program.
