Hey, you sick, twisted freak. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. There are going to be times of joy today. There's going to be times where you're going to need duct tape.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Wrap it around your head so if your head does explode, because the duct tape won't stop it from exploding. You won't believe what's coming out of New York today. But you will have all of the pieces when you get to the hospital. That way, when you get to the hospital and you're in the emergency room, they see your head wrapped in duct tape, and they're like, ah, you listen to Glenn Beck today, huh? He told you about what the mayor of New York said, huh? Yeah, and then my head just exploded.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Good thing you have the duct tape, because we have all the pieces. We'll try to put it back together for you. We begin with all of this nightmarish and really positive. In fact, I'm going to start with the really positive. stuff in 60 seconds. So guess who's responsible for what your dog eats? Yeah, and they're trying to blame that on you now. The easiest choice in the world is feed your dog kibble food, but there's a problem with that. Kibble food is dead food. It has, you know, all of the good nutrients cooked right out of it so it'll have a long shelf life. Now, have you tried
Starting point is 00:03:23 rough greens yet? See if your dog likes it as much as Uno does. I mean, there's a huge, huge difference in my dog, Uno, since he started eating Rough Green's. First thing that happened right away was he ate. That was a big deal for him. Second, I started seeing a difference in his attitude and his game playing. You know what I mean? He was running around more. He was picking up the ball more and saying, let's play, let's play, let's play.
Starting point is 00:03:52 Actually, became a little obnoxious, but he was happy. Rough Greens. I keep seeing changes in him. You'll see changes over a year or two. It is amazing. Roughgreens.com. Roughgreens.com slash Beck. Go there now.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Give you the first trial bag for free. All you pay for is shipping, but you need to go to roughgreens. com slash Beck or call them now at 833 GLE and N-33. Okay, let me start with some good news. First of all, hello, Pat. Hello, Glenn. How are you?
Starting point is 00:04:23 Oh. Mmm. Mm. Mm. So good. Mm. Yeah. Stu, where is Stu today?
Starting point is 00:04:29 I don't know. I guess because it's Columbus Day. He thought that that was a big Columbus guy. Big, big Columbus Day guy. He's like he's, he decorates his house with smallpox blankets. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then he does a reenactment. He does.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Yes. He does. Of just the part where he's slaughtering Indians. Right. Yeah. Yeah. So. Anyway, nice to have you here.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Okay, let me give you three good stories here. Now, these are big stories. And they're going to be. you're probably going to, you'll hear talk about them, but nobody will put this into perspective. This is you standing up. Okay. These three things are happening because you are standing up. Story number one.
Starting point is 00:05:14 As of October 8th, PayPal's new acceptable use policy states that effective November 3rd activities like the sending, posting, or publication of any message, content, or materials may qualify as violations if the company decides they are harmful, obscene, harassing, or objectionable. Basically, whatever we want.
Starting point is 00:05:42 If they depict, promote, or incite hatred, or discrimination of protected groups, you go after white guys, though, no problem. Or of individuals of groups based on protected characteristics, race, religion, gender, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or are fraudulent, promote misinformation, or unlawful.
Starting point is 00:06:03 For each violation, a user may be subject to damages, including liquidated damages of $2,500 U.S. dollars, which may be debited directly from your PayPal accounts. You got to be kidding me. Okay. Now, this happened, what, last week? And last week, we talked about it. but apparently a lot of other people talked about it too. Now they are not a neutral organization.
Starting point is 00:06:31 They haven't even really said that they are a neutral organization, although they say they value uniqueness and diversity of thought. Oh, do you? Is that why you shut down the account of the free speech union? Because they were a little upset about the radical gender theory in British schools? Yeah. Yeah. Or how about gays against groomers? Why did you shut them down? You didn't even have an explanation for that one. Gays for groomers say more and more companies are coming out in full support of the sexualization, indoctrination, and medicalization of minors. By the way, PayPal also shut down us for them, a campaign group that advocated for reopening schools during the COVID-19 lockdown. It's got to shut them up. You know what I'm saying? So anyway. They're not neutral.
Starting point is 00:07:25 However, here's the good news. In a tweet on Saturday, just a few days after they released this seven-page document, David Marcus spoke out against the new policy, first reported by the Daily Wire, that would apparently allow the digital payment processor to charge $2500. Elon Musk, another co-founder of PayPal, said he agreed with the criticism, joining a number of others who have spoken out against the new policy. He said, it's really hard for me to openly criticize a company that I used to love and I gave so much to.
Starting point is 00:08:03 But PayPal's new users rules or whatever goes against everything I believe in. A private company now gets to decide to take your money if you say something they disagree with. That's insanity. And some other people started saying, David Sacks said, get your money out of PayPal right now. Scott Adams from Dilbert said seriously, close your PayPal account immediately if they don't reverse this today. Vivek Rameswamy said misinformation police are now extending their reach beyond social media accounts. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Whole bunch of people. You spoke out about it. Blake Masters, the Arizona Senate campaign. He said, yeah, I get to Washington soon and I'm going to be working on this. then PayPal just released this. That notice went out in error and we included some incorrect information. We're not fine in people for misinformation and this language was never intended to be inserted into our policy. Our teams are working now to correct our policy pages.
Starting point is 00:09:16 Oh. You know, these companies have such a weird, habit of like really bizarre things happening. Yeah. Yeah. You know, like I've never said, you know, hey, by the way, just some company policy, you know, if you have brown hair, it's okay, it's absolutely okay to harass you because we're going to fire you anyway because you have black hair, brown hair. Never said that. Oops. How did that get into the policy? How did that happen? Somebody broke into the policy and just started writing stuff in it. I hate that.
Starting point is 00:09:56 You know, that would be explained. I would accept that. I would like to see the termination of that person. But it's just like they have a bunch of rogue people in there. They're just like, watch this. We're going to write that. We're going to take people's money. You should fire those people.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Then next story. Because of you, Vanderbilt to pause gender transatlose. Transition surgeries on minors. The Vanderbilt University Medical Center has paused all gender transition surgeries for minors following an explosive report about their pediatric gender services and a letter from the state legislators demanding the practices stop. By the way, this is really Daily Wire. And what's his name on the Daily Wire that did this? We are pausing gender affirmation affirmation surgeries on patients under 18. while we complete this review, which may take several months.
Starting point is 00:10:53 In addition, we understand the issues likely to be taken up by the General Assembly in its next legislative station and session. And as always, we assure that our programs will comply with any new requirements, which may be established as part of Tennessee law. Huh. Huh. Huh. So no more hormones or double mastectomies for kids. That's, you know, that's probably a good thing. Well, since when you change gender, the suicide rate for those kids goes up 20 times the national average. No, it's not 30 times.
Starting point is 00:11:34 It's not 100 times. It is not 100 times. Right. It's only 20 times the rate. So thank you for standing up. See what happens when we stand up? Several states, here's number three. Several states have launched efforts to root out ESG with no.
Starting point is 00:11:50 19 GOP attorneys general sending a letter to BlackRock. A BlackRock increasingly becoming a Republican target. Challenging the money manager's commitment to ESG principles, they claim that Black Rock's policies are undercutting shareholder profits and managing state pension funds. So Louisiana decided to go a step further. God bless the state treasurer there, John Schroeder. He announced last week, state has divested $560 million, a number that will increase to $794 million over the coming
Starting point is 00:12:28 months as Louisiana exits Black Rock money market funds, mutual funds, and exchange-traded fund holdings. He writes, your blatantly anti-fossil fuel policies will destroy Louisiana's economy. This divestment is necessary to protect Louisiana from actions and policies that you would actively seek to hamstring our fossil fuel sector. In my opinion, your support of ESG investing is inconsistent with the best economic interest and values of Louisiana. All of these things are happening because, one, somebody was brave enough to expose them.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Okay? Matt Walsh. He's the guy who's been exposing and really bringing it to people's attentions, especially at Vanderbilt. That's him. So he was brave enough to stand there and tell you. And then you stood up. This is fantastic news.
Starting point is 00:13:30 They are scared out of their mind. They, this is all coming undone. I'll tell you, I'll tell you how this ends for them. I'll show you why this is coming undone in 60 seconds. Ever flown with American Airlines before? Yeah. If you have, you might be in for a little surprise. They recently discovered a data breach in their system.
Starting point is 00:14:00 And they don't have any idea how many customers' personal information was accessed. But, you know, pretty sure it wasn't just a couple. You know, names, passport numbers, driver's license numbers, medical information. Yeah, floating around there. Somebody took it. If you've ever flown American and probably, I mean, who flies American? Yeah, my information was in that database. My information was in that database.
Starting point is 00:14:27 I'm not worried about it because I have life lock. Nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions, but life lock is the best out there. And if you join now, you'll save 25% off your first year with a promo code back. Now listen, they have both a preventative measure to keep you safe and access to a restoration team if you do end up having your information hacked into. I have seen them at work several times in my own life.
Starting point is 00:14:54 And they're really good, really good. We have not had a problem. We've had phone calls from them. Hey, there's a problem. And then they cleared it up. It's fantastic. 1-800 Lifelock. 1-800 Lifelock.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Lifelock.com. Use a promo code back and save 25%. 10 seconds. Station ID. All right. Let me show you why this is all coming undone. First of all, everything
Starting point is 00:15:31 they talk about is nuts. It's nuts. There's no common sense to any of this stuff. Right? You know it. I know it. Oh, gee, it looks like a lot of people are going to be freezing to death in Europe. They're using, they're literally,
Starting point is 00:15:48 people in Europe are literally buying horse and cow dung to burn in their fireplaces to keep warm. That's going to work out well. It's going to work out well. So what does our president and the progressive left do? Well, they cancel the pipelines, but they want to make sure that we have oil.
Starting point is 00:16:09 So first, they are willing to sacrifice everything they say they believe in, you know, with the death of Khashoggi and go over and kneel at the feet of the Saudi prince after insulting him. And he not only doesn't raise it by, by 20% I think he was asking. He reduces the amount they're producing. That's how ineffective these guys are. So we're willing to go over to Saudi Arabia, but not here.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Now we're going to Venezuela. And we are now trying to buy oil from Venezuela, but not from here. Not in America. No, no, no. Venezuela, we'd rather help them. That makes no sense. You know it.
Starting point is 00:16:53 it, I know it. This is the other reason why it's all falling apart. These people are not who they say they are, not who they are forcing us to say we are. Okay. You know, they're saying to us that we're the racist and we're like, I, I'm not, I'm not a racist. I'm not a racist. Who are they? A recording, which was reported in the Los Angeles Times and has not yet been reviewed by the, the New York Post, captured the council president, the L.A. Council, as referring to her colleague Mike Bonin's black son as S. Cengito, is that right? Which apparently means that little monkey in Spanish. Oh. Okay. All right. Martinez, who's a Latina, I'm sorry, latinx, also said Bonin, is white was raising a toddler like a little white kid.
Starting point is 00:18:01 I was like, this kid needs a beat down. Let me take him around the corner and I'll bring him back. The city council president said she also referred to the child as something else, which is the N word in Spanish. I'm guessing. At another point, in the roughly hour long conversation, she called Bonin, also a Democrat, that little bitch. Kevin De Leon, a member of the city council who unsuccessfully ran for mayor in California Senate,
Starting point is 00:18:33 said in the recording that Bonnet treated his child like a little yard bag or a Louis Vuitton bag. So the audio, which was recorded, we don't know by who, was posted on Reddit. that user that posted it is now suspended. Ha. Before the suspension, it was posted. It says, wow, you know it happens, but when you actually hear it, it's unbelievable. This looks like the labor movement is in bed with City Hall. Of course it is.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Of course it is. Now, the guy whose son, by the way, three years old that was, attacked, says he's heart sick and angry. And the leaked audio also captures Martinez attacking the progressive L.A. district attorney saying, F, that guy, he's with the blacks. So we know who these people are. It's only a matter of time before they expose themselves. On the other side, you have what's happening in Florida.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Almost 100% of the power has now been restored. This came over the weekend. Almost 100% of the power has been restored. DeSantis has done an incredible job. Now, let me give you another reason. There is a huge, huge outpouring of women and girls on the streets in Iran. And they are being shot, imprisoned, torture. but it's not stopping them.
Starting point is 00:20:29 This is youth in the streets. And they said they're not going to stop. The regime has had internet blackouts, so it's hard for them to communicate. They don't know what's going to be happening to them at all, but there's still massive gatherings that are going on, patrols in almost every streets. One of the girls said, I assure you the protests are not over. The people are angry.
Starting point is 00:21:01 They're talking back to the police in ways I've never seen. Yet our left is not standing with these girls. The people who protest to love women so much are not standing. Ahmed Abu Merkhaya, I guess. 25 years old, I'm just going to call him Ahmed. He reportedly was living in Israel for two. years and seeking resettlement in Canada because of threats to his life because he was gay. Israel was protecting him from the Palestinians.
Starting point is 00:21:44 Last Wednesday he was beheaded in the West Bank. The victim's friends and media outlets said that he was kidnapped from Israel and taken to the Palestinian city. Authorities arrested a suspect in the kill. who filmed the murder and then posted it on social media. Have you heard any gay organization? Talk about this. Have you heard any gay organization that says that the Palestinians are open-minded?
Starting point is 00:22:17 It's Israel. That is the problem. Really? Because Israel was protecting and accepting of the man's lifestyle. The Palestinians took him, kidnapped him. kidnapped him, his family was behind it, and beheaded him. Truth always wins. We just have to stand up and speak it.

They work for you, not the bank. Americanfinancing.com 906 2440. Glenn Beck, Stubergier, Stephen Crowder. Steve Dase and me, Pat Gray,
Starting point is 00:24:05 listen to all your favorite conservative voices at blazedtiv.com. promo code, Glenn. Hello, you sick, twisted freak. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're so glad that you have joined us. A top pollster signaled many deeply submerged Republican voters
Starting point is 00:24:28 would be undercounted again in the weeks ahead of the 2022 midterm elections in November. I think people are done talking about it. You know what I mean? I'm not going to give you any information at all. Not going to give you any information. Especially supporters of, you know, Republicans or Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Yeah, you're just not going to. You're so disparaged lately. Why would you? What am I going to tell you anything? Robert Cahaley, founder of the and senior strategist of the Polster Trafalgar group, observed during the debut of election-wise. a new weekly podcast, um,
Starting point is 00:25:07 that right around the corner, Republican voters would be underestimated, um, by the legacy media, mainly because they declared mega Republicans, enemies of the state. Hello. These submerged voters aren't answering the polls.
Starting point is 00:25:23 They aren't putting stickers on their cars or signs in their yard. They're not even posting on social media. They are underwater. They're not saying a word to anyone until election day. You know, weird. Here in Texas, there's a lot of, you know, there's a lot of people that will have the signs, because it's the opposite of New York or San Francisco or California. You know, here it's, you're not afraid to say anything if you're a conservative. But I think there's also a lot of
Starting point is 00:25:52 places that people are kind of, they're afraid, they're underwater as they say, but I think there's also those people who are like, really? Really? I'm going to make my sign. bigger. Polls have two purposes, he said. They're either to reflect or they're to affect. Too many of these media and university-based polls are designed to affect the election. They're trying to create a false narrative quite often when there is not one. That's fascinating. Just fascinating. ABC News, the correspondent there says that they are doomed for midterm. elections. He says, voters disapprove of Biden, and that's not going to go well.
Starting point is 00:26:44 GOP now is projected to score four gubernatorial wins in the midterms. And what's incredible is they're the races in Nevada, Oregon, Wisconsin, and Kansas. Oregon and Nevada rated by the Cook Partisan Voting Index You know as probably a little blue More Democrat than Republican Oregon the most Democratic leading of the four states Has Democrats plus six And a former Republican state representative
Starting point is 00:27:23 Christine Dresden leading the Democratic State House Speaker Tina Kotex I think Tina Kotex? I think that's her name. I'm not sure. But anyway, 2%. You know me.
Starting point is 00:27:39 I'm bad with names. So it looks like she is, she's leading Kotex by two and a half points in all of the polls. So that is really, really good. Let's see. Also, Lee Zeldon is closing the gap in New York. That's nuts. I mean, it's not.
Starting point is 00:28:04 It's actually common sense, but the people in New York are nuts. They shouldn't be voting with common sense, but they are. It's fantastic. And I think what's happening there is, again, people are seeing the insanity of it all. I would like to play Mayor Eric Adams. he would like us, the taxpayer, to give New York City $1 billion. He said, we need help, and we need it right now. Now, before the charitable heart that I know you have kicks in and says,
Starting point is 00:28:50 gosh, Glenn, we got to help them. We have to, they're in trouble. We want to be there. I want you to listen to him. Here he is. Today, I am declaring a state of emergency in the city of New York and issuing an executive order. I want to help.
Starting point is 00:29:06 This executive order will formally direct all relevant agencies to coordinate their efforts to construct the humanitarian relief centers. We are also suspended certain land use requirements to expedite this process. New York City has already done more than nearly any other city to support this influx of asylum seekers. Oh my. And we cannot deprive longtime New Yorkers of support the services, even as we
Starting point is 00:29:35 address the knees of these new arrivals. It's not sustainable. Yes. And it is not right. And it's not right. Oh my. Okay. So New York, which has done more than any other city, Houston,
Starting point is 00:29:51 Dallas, more than any other city. El Paso. all of the border cities New York has been on the front lines of this oh my gosh they have received about 65 buses they've got 65 bus loads no of people and this is
Starting point is 00:30:11 this is a metro area of like 17 just 17 million 17 million that's all I mean you get six seven bus loads you're at the point of collapse well because if you think about maybe 30 people per busload Oh, yeah. Now you're talking. I can't even do.
Starting point is 00:30:29 Is that a quadrillion people? Yes, it's very close to a quadrillion people. Yes. It's amazing. See, it's exponential. Yeah. Each bus load. It takes you 30 buses to get to a quadrillion people.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Anyway, wow. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Kind of a slap in the face. A little bit, a little bit. And to ask New York City. to have the balls to ask for a billion dollars.
Starting point is 00:31:00 And you know what? They'll get it. They'll get it. Absolutely. They'll get it. It's a state of an emergency. And this president will take your hard-earned money. You and everyone you know will not, over their entire lifetime,
Starting point is 00:31:18 put in a billion dollars in their income tax. In your entire lifetime, you will work from, cradle to grave, paying taxes. You and your friends and everybody you know won't even come close to the $1 billion. Just flush it away, man. Just flush it away. Anybody else not feeling as compassionate as you usually do on April 15th? So city leaders want more migrants.
Starting point is 00:31:50 Why? Why? Why? Because they care so deeply. either that or city leaders want more migrants because they help cut wages, inflate real estate rents, and boost profit for local business leaders. Oh my gosh. They really do care. They really do love these people.
Starting point is 00:32:17 The policy also generates many customers for the city's welfare, aid, housing, education, and medical agencies. For example, Adams admitted in his speech that the city is providing overnight shelters to 61,000 homeless people every night. I believe we have a border city of about 35,000 people, regular residents, that are hosting about 10 to 20,000 people every night. That's what I'd call a state of an emergency. 17 million people in the metro area, 61,000 homeless people. Hmm. Well, let's take out the metro area.
Starting point is 00:33:03 7 million people on that rat island and 61,000 homeless people. Huh. Also, the cheap labor migrants also provide more profits for investors in city businesses. Without the extra labor, the investors otherwise would be forced to hire unemployed Americans in upstate New York cities or other states such as New Jersey, Maine, New Hampshire, and West Virginia.
Starting point is 00:33:31 You don't want to hire Americans. You don't want that. You don't want that. Oh, man, they care. What do you say? Come on, guys. Come on. Normally, I would say no.
Starting point is 00:33:41 But this is New York City and they're really struggling. They need, they can't hire Americans. It's an emergency situation. It really is. It really is. It's almost 2,000 people that have been bused up there. Wow. Almost 2,000.
Starting point is 00:33:56 What do we have in Texas? 2 million a year? I mean, I would honestly, I would like to know what the impact on Dallas and Houston have been. Houston is. Oh my gosh. And year after year after year. 61,000 is nothing. I mean, we get that in a month.
Starting point is 00:34:18 Oh, but there's. struggling. Oh, they are struggling. I know. Why don't you put on a show and raise money? You got show people there? Do a show for... Have you heard about the new Broadway show of 1776? I haven't. Okay. So there was this 1776 Broadway play that was done in 1976. And it was a, you know, it's a romp. It's a romp. It's so great. 1976, 1776 romp. Happy Bicentennial. Well, now in 2022, they are opening up this rom again, except this time it's a gay romp. Well, not actually a gay romp, more of a trans romp. Everybody in it that plays a founder is trans.
Starting point is 00:35:05 How wonderful. Yeah. How wonderful. How wonderful. Oh, I wish I could have invested in that. That's going to make money hand over fist. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:17 Yeah. Well, the romp that they released at the movie theaters did pretty well, right? Which one? Bro's, I think it's called? Brose? It made about $12. It made, I think, $4.5 million. And it's opening weekend.
Starting point is 00:35:34 And it's opening weekend. And they were expecting like $20 million. Well, I would have expected $120 million. Me too. I thought every American would go to see that. Who's not going to say to their family, I got to get to New York and see, 1776, where every member of the cast is trans. Right.

Starting point is 00:38:14 Okay. I'm just thinking. You're thinking for entertainment purposes. Yes. Yes. He's my weirdest friend. I don't know. No, there's no other weird friends that I can even think of.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Yeah, right. Okay. So, yeah, Stu's got to be number one weirdest. No, seriously. Like, you don't know him. You know him, but you don't know him. He's not forthcoming on really personal things. He's not forthcoming on anything.
Starting point is 00:38:40 Yeah, that's true. I mean, I've known him now as long as I knew you when, you know, we got back together. I'd known you for 20 years. Uh-huh. And I've known Stu now for 25. Yep. And I knew you at 20. I knew you inside and out.

Starting point is 00:39:17 Or he's a Russian spy. Easy. He could be that. He could be that. He could be working for TikTok. That is true. Sleeping with Fang Fang. Yes.
Starting point is 00:39:27 Well, he loves Lisa a lot, so I don't know about the Fang Fang thing. Well, I haven't seen Fang Fang. So, you know, you never know. Stu could, Stu could have gone the Fang Fang Rote. That's maybe where he's right. Oh, poor Lisa. Wow, we don't even know.
Starting point is 00:39:42 We don't know. It's highly possible. Lisa's probably crying her eyes out today. She probably saw the Fang Fang thing coming. Probably did. Yeah. Anyway. Sad.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Sad for her. Have you seen the movie blonde, by any chance? No. No. The Marilyn Monroe thing? Not interested? You just laugh.
Starting point is 00:40:01 Not interested? Yeah, well, I mean, it's like NC17. Oh, is it really? Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. Mm-hmm. Well, the Planned Parenthood has a real problem with it. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:40:11 Yes, they do. They do. Don't tell me that they glorify pregnancy. Yeah, well. And have a child born alive. So she was, she was pregnant. Yeah. Twice.
Starting point is 00:40:25 And the first time she was forced to abort it. And then the second time. Well, let me just read. The organization is taking issue with the movies' portrayal of an unborn child as a human life, decrying abortion, stigma, and medically inaccurate descriptions of a fetus. Oh, geez. As a film and TV shapes up, many people's understanding of sexual and reproductive health and critical in these depictions accurately portray women's real decisions and experiences.
Starting point is 00:40:51 What they're angry about is Marilyn has a recurring nightmare of her first aborted baby saying, And please don't abort the other baby. Please. So her abortion was a bad thing. And then her, yeah. And then her, you know, dreams of her current baby that she's a... You're not going to abort me too. Apparently, Planned Parenthood has a problem with that.

Starting point is 00:44:13 That changes everything. I'm going to give you an example. Last hour I told you about the PayPal changing that, you know, last week they said, yeah, anybody says something we don't really like. $2,500 are just going to pull out of your PayPal account and call it misinformation. Yeah, that lasts a few days until everybody, you know, raised a stink over it and started pulling their money out of PayPal and saying, yeah, I don't want to do business with you. And guess what? It was a mistake.
Starting point is 00:44:46 I don't even know who wrote that policy I put in there, but they shouldn't have ridden it because we're very upset about it. Same thing with Vanderbilt.

That's Tuttle twinsbeck.com. Welcome to the Louisiana State Treasurer, John Schroeder. How are you, John? Well, good morning. It is good to talk to you, sir.
Starting point is 00:47:11 Yes, sir. Great day. Yeah, it is a good day. Last week, you said, yeah, I'm not going to give you the money. What was it? I think I said billion. It's $700 million, right? almost a billion dollars.
Starting point is 00:47:28 Yeah, it's about seven, almost 800. Okay. And there's more coming, right? Over the next year? Yeah, so I've been working on this for a long time. You just don't move that much money overnight. Right. What really called this out, somebody caught wind of it,
Starting point is 00:47:48 and it's probably my fault because I got agitated at some meeting that I was at. And I said something publicly. and the next thing I know I had a public information request. And I've been working on it since late last year. We actually started moving money probably around March. And I wasn't going to say anything until I moved at all. But two things happened that sort of forced me to come out last week. I had a meeting with Black Rock.
Starting point is 00:48:16 And in Philadelphia, when I was at the Treasurer's Conference about two weeks ago, then I had a public information request, which I had a release some information that I wanted to control the narrative. So that's why I followed up with my meeting at Black Rock with a letter, telling them what I was doing, and I had already started it. We had already moved, you know, a half billion dollars the time I released this letter. And by the end of the year, it will be about $800 million. But, Glenn, I want you to listen to understand this,
Starting point is 00:48:49 especially those in Louisiana, because I want to be very accurate. There's a lot of news about this. This is money that I as treasurer of the state of Louisiana managing our trust funds. About $16 billion in trust fund, and about $800 million is invested in Black Rock. So we are moving that into other spaces where we're either making more or the same. So we're not losing money. We're just picking businesses, companies that we need. have something more in common with. And we clearly don't in the fossil fuel space here in Louisiana.
Starting point is 00:49:30 But the real goal for Black Rock is to go after the pension money. And each state, each state treasurer handles that a little differently. Here in Louisiana, we have about $70 plus billion in retirement funds and pension funds. And these are policemen and firemen and school teachers and state workers. These aren't people going to work as entrepreneurs every day. This is government employees pensions money. In Louisiana, again, it's over 70 billion. That's really what makes up a large share of Black Rock. So I do what I could do. Now moving forward, I will begin to work with the legislature to figure out a way. How do we curb this pension money to be invested in companies like BlackRock who clearly want to see the
Starting point is 00:50:23 demise of the fossil fuel industry, which is probably the biggest industry we have in Louisiana. Correct. Now, did you take on the S and the G, or are you only looking at the E? Oh, no. We, you know, this just came out in the news last week, but this has been an ongoing battle on several fronts. Our legislative session ended in June, and there were several bills dealing with all kinds of different situations on the ESG. But no, on this particular front with BlackRock, it was obviously their environmental position. I don't mind telling you almost four years ago, I blocked Citibank and Bank of America over Second Amendment issues. You know, so this has been going on for a while here in Louisiana.
Starting point is 00:51:19 I've blocked them from doing almost a billion dollars in borrowing from the state of Louisiana. It's gone under radar, you know, because I can do this all within the confines of the law of my job, my constitutional duties. And I don't have to go beat my chest about it either. But you said this, as I was listening, we need to step up and do something. We can't just sit back and be good conservatives and take it in the shorts anymore. So I'm proud to lead the State Financial Office Foundation. I don't know if you know that. I'm the national chair as of October 1st.
Starting point is 00:51:57 And you will start seeing more. I have talked to treasures across the country since last Wednesday. And, you know, they're just looking at ways on how to reinvest this money, because at the end of the day, you do have a fiduciary responsibility. Those pension workers or those retired government workers need to get their paychecks, and I get it, their retirement check. So that sits in the palm of our hands in a lot of cases on many states across this nation. So I get that, but I'm also not going to feed my enemy.
Starting point is 00:52:32 And I'm not going to, I think we have to do a better job at educating the pension folks, the state workers, the government workers. We have to educate them and let them know where their money is being invested. It's backdooring them. And it's going to kill our industry. Not to speak what it does for communist China and other countries that want to see the United States wiped off the face of the map. So what was Black Rock's response? Well, you know, I met with them.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Now, they've gotten some win that I was doing this. So this isn't like total out of the blue news to them. I mean, I would imagine if you took 500. million dollars out, they might notice it. I would hope. I know they got trillions of dollars, but I know they knew that I was moving this money, but they never made mention of it when I met with them two weeks ago. But what they did do was apologize and say that, you know, that they, you know, wanted to assure me that they weren't against the fossil fuel industry and this, that and the other. Well, Glenn, I told him I'm sitting there with three people in one of the directors.
Starting point is 00:53:52 And it was about a 45-minute long conversation. And after a little bit, I told him, I said, look, this isn't personal with you guys. But y'all was sitting here telling me one thing, but I can show you, quote, video and audio of your CEO saying something different than what you're sitting in this room telling me today. Now, I'm the treasure of Louisiana. And I don't mean this in a disrespectful way, but I guess the CEO of BlackRock needs to tell me otherwise, because y'all is sitting here telling me one thing, but what I read, see, and hear, of something totally different out of your CEO. So unless he's willing to go out publicly and now reverse what he has been saying and go to conferences, because look, I don't need to
Starting point is 00:54:39 tell you that it's everywhere all over the internet where he makes comments about what they need to where black rock is is becoming like the almost like the communist leader that they know what's best for the world water they know what's best for louisiana well you know what he's not going to use my money to do it that's the other thing people don't understand and that's what's something they said to me to me that it's not their money it's our money they're using our money to beat ourselves that's like that's like that's i'm not going to do that any long And look, I just want you to understand that. I didn't just wake up last Wednesday and decide to do that.
Starting point is 00:55:23 This is something that we've been strategically working on for the entire year. And it just came to a head last week. I am so glad to hear it. John, you're well thought out. And I hope there are more of you that are working behind the scenes to do the right thing. We are – the whole world is being strangled to death, because of the energy policies of people like BlackRock shutting off all investment. I just read a story today. I don't want to get in the weeds, but I just read a story today.
Starting point is 00:55:56 The banks can't invest in fossil fuels over in Europe, they're saying, because the money isn't there for investment. And if the price collapses, then they're going to be sitting on all of this oil and they won't be able to, you know, hedge it. And I read that and I thought, well, the problem is ESG. The problem is that people are not investing in energy now because they're being encouraged not to and being told that that is not the future. Well, it may not be the future 150 years from now. Yeah. It is over the next 50. You know, a couple things have to happen, going back to your comment about your hoping others are doing the same thing. I can tell you factually, we are, and they are. I think what has to happen, what's so great about this country, and look, I'm an entrepreneur, and if I can have a minute, Glenn, I want to tell you something.
Starting point is 00:57:03 I've listened to you for a long time. I'm a former military intelligence, infantry military intelligence, CID agent from the Army. I was a narcotic agent after that, and I lost my career over a pretty serious eye injury. But I've always appreciated how you stood up for our country. And I don't need, as a veteran of this country, I don't need anybody to thank me. But it is nice hearing people like you on the radio. say thank you without saying thank you. And that's all I needed.
Starting point is 00:57:45 All I needed to know is there was people out there who understood what we do, why we do it. And there are people like me who did things and went out to bad people so you could have your radio show and everybody could go without their business every day. And I've just always appreciated that. This is the first time I've ever met you and talked to you in my life. And I just want to tell you thank you. It is more meaningful than you, than you know, John. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:58:14 God bless you. Hope to meet you someday. John Schroeder, he is the state treasurer of the great state of Louisiana. Well, I mean, it's connected to Texas, so that really is what makes it great, don't you think? Absolutely. Yeah. So it's the greatest, great, great, great-ish state of Louisiana. It's connected to a great state.
Starting point is 00:58:36 Yeah, it is. It is. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, that rubs off on you after a while. There's a lot more to your dog's life than just what he or she eats. But that doesn't mean the food isn't important. You want something for your dog that's going to make him happy, healthy, able to sustain a long life and remain active for as long as possible.

Starting point is 00:59:27 They want to make sure that you don't spend any of your money on this if your dog doesn't like it. If your dog likes it like Una does, and really every dog and dog owner tells me that it has Rough Green, oh my dog is eating for the first time my dog loves this he licks the bowl clean but maybe your dog won't so they give you a free trial bag if your dog loves it order a full bag and watch the difference over the months in your dog it's roughgreens dot com slash beck 833 glen 33 833 g len n 33 rough greens dot com slash beck 10 seconds station id so this just came out from the guardian i consider myself an LGBTQ plus ally, but I wasn't prepared for the shock and confusion I feel when a person I thought I'd spend my life with told me their secret. It was 3 a.m. I had a lot to drink. Two reasons.
Starting point is 01:00:28 I was pressing my boyfriend of 10 years on why he hadn't yet proposed. We were strong and happy, loved each other madly, so his reticence seemed ludicrous to me when sober, let alone drunk. I suspect it was my ceaseless questioning that ultimately blew a fuse in his brain because that's when he told me his secret. When I woke up, he was gone. I watched his what's app status like it was a heart monitor of an ailing relative. The second I saw online, I called him and asked him to come home, to talk, to answer the question that I had scribbled allegedly on a half-folded piece of paper. He walked through the door and sat down his face, mass with fear. What were you trying to tell me? I asked, hopefully, all too aware of how different things can look when alcohol is no longer
Starting point is 01:01:14 shaping your every thought. Well, I have gender identity issues, he said. I just don't identify with being male. My throat thickened. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I knew this person better than anyone in the world, but could in no way reconcile him with the words that were coming out of his mouth. Well, what do you identify with? I don't know, like non-binary or, oh my God, What was he about to say? Trans, the word flooded my body with surreal disbelief. I was already sure, cold, empathetic. This was done.
Starting point is 01:01:52 We are done. But why he implored? Because I can't be nor do I want to be with a woman. See, now that's her first problem. Oh, man, what a bigot. A bigot. What an absolute. Yeah, bigot.
Starting point is 01:02:09 Horrifying bigot. But she should rest assured he never will be a woman. Just want to throw it in there. It was surprising to me. Well, what if he changes his chromosomes? Well, he can't. He can't. He can't.
Starting point is 01:02:22 Okay. It was surprising to me to know how obvious this fact was because everything else was suddenly underwater. But I don't know how far it will go yet. I don't know anything yet, except that our relationship is more important than my gender. My questions were redundant. The purpose was to establish. where we go from here, but in the private theater of my mind, the curtains closed at every turn. Soon my sister was outside. I tried to articulate why I asked her to collect me and why I had a suit case.
Starting point is 01:02:52 She knew something was wrong, of course, but she had no idea of the magnitude. He thinks he might, I couldn't get the, I couldn't get the words out of my mouth. What? What are you saying, Phoebs? He thinks he might be trans. We stood on the dark street, cobbles glossed with rain, and wept. Her tears soaked my shoulder and mine hers. We drove back to hers, I sat in silence numb, watching the rain blur the brake lights in front of me, while she continued to sob for me, for him, and I guess for the future brother-in-law she had just lost. For a week in January, she held my hand every night while I stared at the ceiling, watching our alarm clock announced the time and glaring sequence of oblongs, 12, 10, A, and, 2.36 a.m. 6.16 a.m. The second 7 a.m. hit I got in the shower just so I could cry in peace.

Just buzz in whenever you think that there might be something. Turkey has proposed a disinformation bill that threatens free speech and could further harm journalism ahead of the next election.
Starting point is 01:06:27 The president, I'm not done yet. The president of Turkey says the legislation would address misinformation in the press and social media. No, I'm not done. No, it's not done. He says that his biggest concern is those
Starting point is 01:06:51 that are spreading misinformation on the internet. Can I buzz it down? No, not yet. Oh, yeah. Dang it. Yeah, so they are, they're,
Starting point is 01:07:03 wow. Isn't this just what we went through I don't know, today with PayPal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've gone through it with Facebook. All of it. We've gone through it with Twitter. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:14 Yeah. Wow. Well, try this on Versaise just this weekend. Now, the difference in Turkey is you get three years in prison. Oh, okay. Okay. That was coming. That's coming.
Starting point is 01:07:22 No, it's coming. Yeah, of course it is. Based on current available data, patients should be informed of the possible cardiac complications that can arise after receiving an MRNA vaccine for COVID-19. This is a high level of global immunity to COVID-19. The benefit of vaccination is likely outweighed by this abnormally high risk of cardiac-related death among men in this age group. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 01:07:55 What heretic is saying this? Yeah, well, it's just the Surgeon General of Florida. Oh. Okay, yeah. Yeah, Joseph Lodapo or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What a quap. Yeah, what a nut job.
Starting point is 01:08:08 Oh my God. They actually banned him for misinformation. Twitter banned him for misinformation. Actually took down his account for a while. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they realized it was such a mistake. They didn't mean to do that. Oops, see, daisies.
Starting point is 01:08:24 Yeah. Wow. Wow. Yeah, he says no MRNA vaccines for men 18 to 39 because I'm looking for the exact. Okay, because he found. he found, well, he didn't find an analysis through a self-controlled case series from the Sunshine State's Health Department found there's an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among 18 to 39-year-old males. I talk to a doctor and I can say this now because we still are on radio, so I have to abide by FCC rules. And those FCC rules have not changed.
Starting point is 01:09:02 so I can actually say this information. Talk to a doctor, really kind of pretty credible guy. I asked him to be on and. Would he not come on? No, yeah, I think he will. Oh, he was quite anxious to have people say. I said that. He's quite anxious.
Starting point is 01:09:18 I was at the Goldwater Institute fundraiser on Friday and gave a... It's in Arizona? Where was that? Yeah, Phoenix. Gave a speech. This group is amazing. If you're looking for a group that, you know, is doing some real good, look into the Goldwater Institute. Anyway, the people there were just fantastic and so wide awake.
Starting point is 01:09:43 And this doctor comes up to me and he says, hey, listen, you know, I have so many patients that are healthy, really, really healthy. And all have cardiac problems now. Yeah, it's, I mean, we have stories literally every day. Every day. Every day. The latest, one of the latest is this Sean Casson, a Democrat, who had lost his daughter back in June. Did you read about this? Do you think that the...
Starting point is 01:10:20 I was going to say, L.O.J. L.O.J. L.O.J. L. Kevin, do you read about him? So, he's an Illinois rep. representative, his 17-year-old daughter died of cardiac arrest in her sleep back in June. Happens all the time to 17-year-olds. Oh, that's the thing. I grew up if I heard another cardiac arrest. I had another 17-year-old friend who died of cardiac arrest.
Starting point is 01:10:47 I was sick of hearing of it. Right, especially when they had dinner with their parents, went out with their friends, everything was fine, went to bed, never woke up. Yeah. At 17. Heart attacks happen a lot in your sleep. Yes. And especially when you're a teenager.
Starting point is 01:11:04 Yeah. And here's this one standout line that is interesting that it's there because it normally wouldn't be in an article like this. She was fully vaccinated against COVID-19, the family said in their statement. I wonder if they're giving us a clue as to why they think she may have died from cardiac arrest. I would think so. I would too. Did you hear about the CDC saying that they would pay a family's medical, sorry, they would pay the family's funeral bills if they just would insist that died from the effects of COVID-19 vaccine was removed from the death certificate.
Starting point is 01:11:49 And the family was like, wow. No, not going to do it. Wow. Yeah. I'm telling you, if you didn't get the vaccine, you're lucky. You are lucky. And I did not. I did not.
Starting point is 01:12:05 Nor did what I planned to. I thought you did. No. Your wife did. Didn't she? Yes, she did. And you didn't. And I did not.
Starting point is 01:12:12 Oh, you are going to be laughing as she's having a heart of time. Ha, ha, guess who's right? Ha, ha, didn't listen to you. Told you so. Wow. Yeah. I thought you got it. No.
Starting point is 01:12:27 I already have... Did Tony you get it? No. She didn't get it. No, we didn't get it. We didn't get it. None of the kids got it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:34 None of the kids got it. One kid did. And the rest of us were like, no, I don't... Yeah. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Every time I thought, I'm going to do it. I almost did it. I'd see another story like this.
Starting point is 01:12:47 I almost did it when I had to go to the UAE to get people out of Afghanistan. I thought that they were going to insist on a vaccine. And I, and I was driving and I was like, vaccine people that are going to be killed. Vaccine people that were, it didn't take me long. But I almost got it because of that. Yeah. I'm glad I didn't. Me too.
Starting point is 01:13:14 Especially now. I mean, there's questions about it. And even if you ever broach these questions, you're a conspiracy theorist. And I think we're way beyond the point where. that's the case. I mean, there's too many of these kinds of deaths lately. In the last year and a half. They're just
Starting point is 01:13:35 excess deaths. Just excess deaths? That's right. That's all it is. That's right. That's right. And I hate these people who are like, they go on and on and on about the Holocaust. It's just excess Jewish deaths. That's all it was. That's all it was. Yeah. Deaths were more than
Starting point is 01:13:51 usual. I don't know what caused that. Couldn't have been anything with the government. There's no way to tell. No, there's no way to tell. It's like the metric system. You can't convert it. I don't know what that is. It's really sad because I don't have a problem.
Starting point is 01:14:08 We were all terrified. We were all terrified at first, okay? Of COVID. Not all of us, but I mean, you know, we were worried about us. And I remember watching, you know, the stuff happening in China and going, this has got to be horrible. They're welding people in their apartments. Yeah. This has got to be like Ebola.
Starting point is 01:14:28 And then it comes over here and we're all freaked out. And I have no problem with, you know, hey, let's just, let's just get a handle on this. Let's just, you know, 15 days. Let's just hang out. I didn't have a problem with that. Yeah, 15 days to slow the curve. I don't think anybody had a problem with that. Nobody had a problem with that.
Starting point is 01:14:46 And then it goes on and on and on. And you realize that they're lying to you about so many things. And then they won't let us see any of the data. Right. When you're like, when you're hiding the data, how is this standing? How are we not demanding as a people whose parents may have died, whose children now are dying? People who have had this vaccine and are now having real cardiac problems, how are you, not all in a class action lawsuit suing the United States government for forcing you to take a
Starting point is 01:15:30 trial drug. That is against the Nuremberg laws. I think one thing that's happening is people are being scared out of doing that. They're being frightened. They don't want to be called names. They don't want to be nutty. My gosh, you know how names. Stakes and stones may break your bones, but names will never hurt you. I mean, I think of that all the time. That's just not something we talk about anymore. It's not a real thing anymore that names will never hurt us. I know. Names hurt us the most now for some reason. How'd that happen? I don't know. Somebody came into my studio last week and they're really upset and they're so sweet. And they're like, Glenn, you know, I've got to say something because, you know, you're getting, you're being called names for such and such. And, and, and I know that,
Starting point is 01:16:14 and I'm like, oh, stop. Do you think I've given a second thought to be calling, be called another name? stand in line on that. And once you get used to it, it's like, oh, you know, we have kind of a thing with my, my family. We're approaching somebody, somebody's house, something, you know, it would be like, okay, we've taken the kids to, I took my kids to a sleepover, my daughter to a sleepover, didn't know the family at all. And so I said, you're not going until I meet mom and dad. And she's like, okay.
Starting point is 01:16:50 So I go over. and as we're driving, I said. So, odds, they're friends, or going to be horrified? And she said, I don't know, Dad. You know, it's kind of fun. Ringing the doorbell, trick-or-treats, a blast for me. Oh, my gosh, that is the scariest thing I've seen. Glenn Beck was on my doorstep.
Starting point is 01:17:12 It's fantastic. It's fantastic. He turned out to be friends or not? Yeah, they did. Yeah, they did. Yeah. All right, back in just a minute. Mike Lendell makes the best bed sheets of anybody on earth.
Starting point is 01:17:24 Go ahead, fight me on this. Okay, okay, I was kidding. Don't fight me. All you ever hear about the sheets or sheets in general is of the thread count. The thread count. It's a five million thread count. I don't really care what the thread count is, and I don't even know what the thread count is on the My Pillo bedsheets.
Starting point is 01:17:46 I have no idea. I just know they are the softest. and the best ever. My wife and I, because of her friend, are having an argument. We had it again last night about linen. Linen, you wear linen shirts. I hate linen sheets.
Starting point is 01:18:05 Okay. And the only reason why she's asking is because her friend is always saying, linen is so soft. I'm like, linen is not soft. It's not soft. She says it just has texture to it. I don't want to sleep on texture. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 01:18:20 Anyway, so this is third world problem, isn't it? I mean, this is happening on the streets where I grew up every day. Anyway. Nigerians are talking about it right now. What kind of thread count do you have? Okay, so this, I don't know what the thread count is on the Geese Dream Sheets, but they're fantastic. And they're $39.99 right now, as low as $39.99. How much you pay for a thousand count thread sheet?
Starting point is 01:18:49 Oh. Like crazy amounts, right? Oh, yeah. Literally hundreds, if not close to a thousand. Shut up. No, seriously. They're expensive. That's stupid.
Starting point is 01:18:58 Really expensive. Have you tried to? Anyway, 3999. Try these sheets. You're going to love them. The Giza Dreamsheets. Go to MyPillow.com. Click on the Radio Listener Square.

I thought that's going to bring peace.
Starting point is 01:19:52 Oh, yeah. Yeah. A lot like the, you know, the sabotage on the pipeline. Yeah. That's a peaceful thing to do. Right. But I don't think this is, Putin is saying, this is terrorism. This is sabotage.
Starting point is 01:20:04 No, that's your main support. fly line. All of everything military comes over that bridge. Everything that you're taking out of Ukraine or out of Crimea comes over that bridge. And you guys built it. But it costs four billion dollars to build and they blew it up. Now, they say that trains are going in, but not out. One train track was blown up. The other one still exists and I think there's one lane of highway that is still
Starting point is 01:20:40 but no heavy trucks can go across. That makes me say, I'm not going to drive it in my car. No heavy trucks? Yeah. I think I'm going to stay off at two. I mean, have you seen me lately? I don't think so. And
Starting point is 01:20:58 it bothers me because Putin is the kind of guy that has said, you know, he, he's lately been threatening nuclear war, but he has always said World War III is going to be fought in ones and zeros. And they've already closed down one pipeline here. Well, no, I'm sorry. Somebody else did. They closed down. Remember when they closed down?
Starting point is 01:21:22 What was it? The Conoco line? And they held that hostage? I mean, it can happen. And that's the kind of stuff that I, I think. I mean, I really fear nuclear war, but this is bad, too. They hack into our systems, shut down our grid in the winter. That's not going to be good. You know what? Every state should have, like, for instance, Texas is on its own power grid. Every state should be on its own power grid, you know, because then you couldn't shut all 50. What a concept. Yeah. That's interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Hadn't thought of that before. I hadn't thought of that either.
Starting point is 01:22:01 You don't like the all of the West on one, all of the East on another. And Texas on its own. Yeah. Yeah. Who has the right idea there? I don't know. It's hard to guess. I know.
Starting point is 01:22:13 I know. You know, I think there is this real, and it's more than America first. I think what's coming is states first. You know, I think people are going to wake up as they are starting. to wake up going, hey, this globalism idea is kind of a bad idea. And I think the next step is to wake up and go, yeah, I think my local community and my state should probably be a little self-contained, be able to take care of ourselves. You know, we'll do trade with everybody, obviously, but we should probably not outsource,
Starting point is 01:22:51 oh, I don't know, everything. Huh. Yeah, I know. Huh. It's a crazy idea. That's food for thought. I want food. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:59 What was that? The Glenn Beck Program. When you were pretty, you had braced some of old in class of recreat, always in trying to negotiate and do
Starting point is 01:23:09 and make a newfound with this instinct that, with without operation gratite, no amount of
Starting point is 01:23:17 minimum, and no free mensuel. You're made for negotiate, and the
Starting point is 01:23:22 TD is there for you help the Glenn Beck Program. I want to talk to you about a
Starting point is 01:24:24 couple of things and they're related. The FBI, the raid, on yet another home of somebody else who really in doing. And the FBI, without any notice, came guns ablazin early in the morning, father of 11, hauled them away in handcuffs. It was an ugly scene. What's happening to our FBI is not good. But you know that.
Starting point is 01:24:51 But why doesn't all of America know that? What's happening to us? I'll explain, give you the story, and reemphasize the answer in 60 seconds. Yahoo Finance just put an article out this week with the top three reasons to buy gold. Seems like a pretty short list, you know, given how important investing in gold is, but here they are. One, gold acts as a hedge against inflation. Gold is easy to sell to raise capital in an emergency, and gold is a good portfolio diversifier. Okay, got it.
Starting point is 01:25:34 Got it. Thank you, Yahoo, for coming aboard. Acts against the hedge against inflation. I think it acts as a hedge against insanity. Inflation is not what we're experiencing. We are experiencing and about to experience true inflation. insanity because they're not going to stop printing. They're just, they can't.
Starting point is 01:26:00 We're at the point now, I believe, of no return. It's going to take a while to play out, but it's coming. So hedge against insanity. You can sell it. You can sell it for food. You can sell whatever, but you can sell it if you have it. In any case, also, it's good portfolio diversifier, meaning if you got everything you have in your 401k in stocks or your IRAs,
Starting point is 01:26:27 you're going to be in trouble when this stock market really takes a nosedive. Goldline just received a freshly minted batch of their gold legal tender bar cards. They are really good. They've been difficult to keep in stock since the equities market started crashing. Go figure. So if you are looking for it, the legal tender bar gold purchase this week, you'll receive a free Ben Franklin cop around, a free silver, mind your business. bar and a free silver maple flex bar all at no extra cost the inventory is going to sell out
Starting point is 01:26:58 quickly so don't wait call goldline today 866 goldline 866 goldline or goldline.com all right i want to uh i want to play something from a podcast that i did on friday and we didn't really have time to promote and i want you to watch or listen to the podcast you can find it on yeah um on YouTube or you can find it at Blaze TV. It's it's part of the subscription and it is really, really good. We put it up on YouTube on my YouTube page because you really need to hear this. It's 35 minutes, but I'm telling you it'll be the best 35 minutes you will spend probably all week. It is a professor of psychology and he was going through COVID and he realized that that he's from Europe, he realized that what countries were doing didn't make any sense.
Starting point is 01:27:58 You know, he said, everybody in Sweden was going to die because Sweden wouldn't go along with the rest of the world. And he said, and when that didn't happen, you would expect people to go, oh, look, what's Sweden doing? It doesn't really make a difference. And he said, when they didn't do that, and then the mask thing. And then let's just try an experimental drug without telling anybody anything about it. He said, I realized we were in a different place as a world. So he started doing research, and it took him back, really, to authoritarianism, which he says is very different, because that is something that the mass participates in.
Starting point is 01:28:43 For instance, Germans. Germans weren't being held by a dictator. they were being held by an ideology, an idea that was running through Hitler. Listen to what he says here. When you're anxious and you don't know what you feel anxious for, you feel completely out of control. But if you start to believe that your anxiety is caused by something,
Starting point is 01:29:05 no matter whether it is true or not, and that there is a strategy to deal with that something, then you have an experience of control. You feel in control again. And also you have an object to direct all your frustration and aggression. on. So that's the first psychological advantage, the first step of mass formation, with the first psychological advantage of mass formation. And in a second step, something even more important happens because so many people participate in a strategy, for instance, the lockdowns, but it
Starting point is 01:29:34 could also be the concentration camps or the crusades or the witch. Because so many people participate in the strategy to deal with the object of anxiety. They have the feeling to fight a collective, heroic battle with the object of anxiety and they feel connected again. The loneliness disappears and they have a feeling of a new sense making again. You could say of course what's the problem? People felt lonely and now they feel connected again. They were confronted with a lack of meaning making and now they have the feeling that their life makes sense again and they felt out of control about their anxiety and now they feel in control again. So what's the problem? Well there is a problem. First, they're always has to be a scapegoat at whom all this frustration and aggression can be directed and also
Starting point is 01:30:20 even more important. This new social bond, this new connectedness is not a social bond between individuals. It's always a social bond between the individual, between each individual separately and the collective, meaning that in a mass, the famous citizenship, the famous solidarity that is so typical for mass formation is never a solidarity between individuals. it's always a solidarity between the individual and the collective, meaning that, and it is even the case, that the longer the mass formation exists lasts, the more all solidarity and love is sucked away from the bonds between the individuals and injected in the bond between the individual and the collective. And that makes that in the end, solidarity with the collective is much bigger than a solidarity with other individuals, leading to the famous paranoid state in totalitarian systems, where every individual. individual is willing to snitch on every other individual, to report every other individual to the state if they have the feeling that this other individual doesn't show enough solidarity to the collective. In the end, this leads typically, I've been talking with this woman, Shoray Fishtali, who lived in Iran during the revolution there, which was a huge-scale process of mass formation.
Starting point is 01:31:36 And she told me how she has seen how a mother reported her son to the state and how this mother hung the news. around his neck when he was on the scaffold. And when he was hung, she claimed to be a heroine for doing what he did. That is a dramatic end stage of massimation. That's what we have to avoid, that it goes to this end stage. So what a brilliant explanation. He is under attack. Oh, I bet.
Starting point is 01:32:02 All of the elites are saying, this guy's a right-wing enabler. He's not right. He's not right-wing. I've read the book. You should read the book. It is, it's called the psychology of totalitarianism. It is right on the money. And it is why I have said to you for a long time, if we go dark, if we go dark, you know, evil doesn't destroy things.
Starting point is 01:32:32 It perverts things and twists things. Look at what's happened to the word equality. Equality has been perverted. freedom of speech is perverted. Tolerance. All of it is perverted. They don't destroy it. They pervert it.
Starting point is 01:32:53 So what do you think is going to happen to us with all of our technology, all of the weapons alone that we have? We will become the darkest country to ever be on the face of the earth. We will go from the greatest country to the most. most terrifying country. Mark my words. It will happen because we're already starting to see signs. We're starting to see signs of doctors, doctors, saying if you didn't get the COVID-19, why should I even treat you? Why should I even treat you for anything? I saw an op-ed from, well, it was a medium post of a doctor in Los Angeles that said, this person I was working on, hated black people.
Starting point is 01:33:44 And, you know, I'm anti-racist. Do I have to help him? Am I required to help him? Yes. According to the oath you took. Right. You are. You are.
Starting point is 01:33:59 So when doctors and nurses are starting to say this and you're also hearing this, let me just give you the FBI story. So the FBI, we know, has now deemed, parents who speak up against their kids being, you know, forced to go to a transgender show, or reading books that are wholly inappropriate, or having pedophilia normalized, or have them question their gender, all things, all of those, we knew were bad five years ago, Five years ago, we knew all of those things were bad. We didn't even have to say it because everybody knew it.
Starting point is 01:34:48 So today, it's fine. And the FBI, forget about Washington. I'm talking about the local FBI, the one that is in your state or your city. They are now being called upon to investigate parents who stand up against this. or they're going after and busting with handcuffs, 84-year-old people. The latest bust happened last week, the pro-life father of 11 children.
Starting point is 01:35:27 This is not the one you heard at the beginning of the week. This one happened on Wednesday. Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested a pro-life father of 11, charging him with conspiracy. Who's the conspiracy theorist? conspiracy against rights secured by the Face Act and committing face act violations. Remind me, Sarah, I got to come back to the word conspiracy and how they're using it here. He said, when I opened the door and saw the guns pointed at me, they had long rifles,
Starting point is 01:35:57 I asked them what they wanted. They said they were looking, what they were looking for and what they said they wanted was me. I had kids in the yard walking out to get in the car to go to school. I was about to take them to school. The other kids were in the house. So seeing that the easiest path to de-escalation, was me in handcuffs. I stepped outside and put an end
Starting point is 01:36:14 of the ranting and the banging and the yelling. After the FBI put him in handcuffs in the car, he said his wife came outside. She had been in the back of the house with their 18-month-old baby. She said, I want to know why you were banging on my door with a gun, she said. You're not going to tell me anything?
Starting point is 01:36:29 The agent replied, and I've heard the tape. No, we're not. And she said, you're not going to tell me. And then he said, I tried. She said, no, you didn't. and he said and he just got it in the car she talked to all the agents, none of them
Starting point is 01:36:45 would even answer her. It was really horrible, horrible. Now, here's the interesting thing. 11 of the advocates they were pro-life advocates with, they were charged with a violation of freedom of access to clinic entrances act
Starting point is 01:37:03 for blocking an abortion clinic in 2021. So this is not a new thing. By the way, nobody contacted him. Nobody, no lawyer contacted. It took him hours to get a lawyer and a lawyer to figure out what the heck was going on. After he was charged, he was just let go. He didn't have a cell phone. He didn't have a wallet. He was in a t-shirt and a pair of pants. And he was 60 miles away from his home. He said, what I told the agents that arrested me on the ride into town since we had a nice hour of felt. is that this is a beautiful tactic. If you want to suppress free speech and you want to strike fear and intimidation into opposition, you weaponize justice to go after someone to suppress. If you can get a large family like mine, you also get all the children,
Starting point is 01:37:56 because all the children will have a memory of growing up, the big bad agents banging on the door and taking away their dad. I think just the opposite, quite honestly. I think the opposite is true. I think the family and the children grow up thinking bad things about the government. Now, he has gone into more details about what was happening. He said his wife was still shaking and fighting back tears as he was being carted off. the family didn't receive any official information about the cause of the raid or Vaughn's whereabouts until six hours after the arrest.
Starting point is 01:38:42 He was held in a federal holding facility and brought before a judge charged and then released without a wallet or cell phone. For over six hours, no one knew where I was and why I was kidnapped from my home at gunpoint. It took a good attorney six hours to be able to break through the bureaucracy and find somebody who knew what was going on. Vaughn pled not guilty to the charges and promised to fight the legal battle to the fullest. In a statement town hall, Vaughn called the FBI paid thugs out of an out-of-control justice department that must be reigned in immediately.
Starting point is 01:39:19 Now, if this isn't bad enough, and it is, uh-huh, if this isn't bad enough, Vaughn wasn't even at the sit-in. he wasn't even there. This will blow your mind. I'll tell you what his participation was in 60 seconds. There's always plenty to be stressed out about every day.
Starting point is 01:39:52 I mean, you're listening to this show. And having to get into the, you know, get into all of the stress of major things like, she's buying and selling a home. That is already on the top five. list of stress builders, let alone doing it now, you need somebody that really knows the market, knows where you're living, where you're buying, can help you on both the buying and the selling.

Starting point is 01:40:59 10 seconds. Station ID. So this guy and 10 others were arrested. for a sit-in. A sit-in. March 20-21. Did you know that you could protest and be in a sit-in that's happened all through the 60s, and you could get 11 years in prison now? 11 years. Von, the guy I just told you about, he didn't even participate in the sit-in. So what was his role? He acted as a mediator between the pro-life people who participated and law enforcement locally to ensure the protest was safe, peaceful, and as legal as possible. That's why it was coordinated, as these things always are. It was coordinated.
Starting point is 01:42:10 He had called the local police and said, hey, look, we're going to do a sit-in on this day. what do we need to do to make sure that we're as legal as possible? And they said, well, you have to do this, this, and this. And it would be a misdemeanor. So we will take you away, but you'll be charged with a misdemeanor. Okay, great. So he's the guy that mediated with the local police. They all got misdemeanors, which was 100% appropriate.
Starting point is 01:42:38 And what happens? The Justice Department gets wind of yet another. local misdemeanor and decides to make it a felony. This is out of control. Now, let me bring it back to the psychology of totalitarianism. If this was happening to any protester that was peacefully protesting, peacefully, would you be for 11 years in prison and the FBI not giving them a chance to surrender? Now, Antifa, oh, I'm all for it.
Starting point is 01:43:18 I'm talking about somebody who has called the local cops, doesn't want to burn anything down. They're totally cool. They're in their 60s, 70s, and 80s. And maybe they have their grandchildren with them. And they've done all of that. Do you want the FBI involved in this? I don't.
Starting point is 01:43:44 I don't. I'm wondering how they even were. What was this that makes it, oh, the act is probably federal. It's federal. Right. The FACE act. Yeah. And they're making this.
Starting point is 01:43:57 You're not supposed to be able to stop someone from going into an abortion clinic. Right. Well, the last week, it wasn't. The hallway was clear. The person could come in. They were singing and praying. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 01:44:14 That's what they were doing. This sit-in, I'm assuming they're doing the same thing. I don't know if they actually block the door, but that is federal. But is this justice in America? You already have half the population remaining silent on the abuse from the FBI, remaining silent on all of the stuff that has gone on, and is actually sitting there and remaining silent when a president of the stuff, the United States says, you know, anybody who voted for Trump, 90 million people, they're all
Starting point is 01:44:52 terrorists. The Glenn Back Program. Where do you think that ends? Sometimes it's hard to live and live up to being the person you want to be, you know, to do you succeed every day? When you're walking around with pain in your life, it's hard. It is hard not to snap at the kids, not to snap. your spouse, not to snap at work.
Starting point is 01:45:20 When you're in pain, it's really difficult and your body is screaming at you and you can't do anything about it. Thankfully, I and thousands and thousands and thousands of others have found a way out of it. Give relief factor a try. You might find your way out.

Starting point is 01:46:28 We're glad you're here. I want you to listen to the podcast that I recorded on Friday. You'll find it on YouTube. You can find it on Blaze TV now or wherever you get your podcast. It was Saturday's podcast. And it was really on the idea of the psychology of totalitarianism. The guy who came up with this is Matthias Desmond. And he has a theory called mass formation.
Starting point is 01:46:55 And he went back to, oh, what's her name? Hannah, aren't. I can't remember her name. She's a woman who did the study of the Nazis after the war and tried to figure out how did this giant group of people go insane. How did that happen? Many of them were scientists and the ones who were some of the worst were the doctors and the nurses and the scientists. How did they disconnect from reality? So he starts looking into this because he says mass formation is happening right now.
Starting point is 01:47:32 And we have to stop it. And he said it's happening all over the world. And it's got to stop. He says it's basically a hypnosis. And it destroys your ethical self-awareness and robs you of the ability of thinking critically. and he said it starts out slow things just don't make sense you feel out of control you're lonely you know you have nowhere to go and you feel helpless nothing you can't fix anything and then somebody steps to the plate and says it's these people and you focus on the enemy and that gets
Starting point is 01:48:14 stronger and stronger as they're making less and less sense and you just shed all of your thinking because that enemy is too dangerous. He is under attack right now. The Associated Press claimed psychology experts say the theory is not supported by evidence, but read the book. Read the book. Listen to the podcast. 35 minutes, best 35 minutes you'll spend all week. The best we can do is look for a solution.
Starting point is 01:48:50 and that's what I asked him about a solution. And he said, this existed from the beginning, from the beginning. And he basically echoed what I've been saying forever. We cannot let the human heart close. Once it's closed, then everybody will be into eating each other. And he said, you'll rat on anybody. You'll, you'll kill anybody. It won't matter anymore.
Starting point is 01:49:21 And he said, we have to stop that. And, you know, if you look for a solution, let me just tell you the story again about he that casts the first stone. He without sin cast the first stone. You know, cast the first stone is in our language for a reason. You don't have to be a religious nut. It's in our language for a reason. So Jesus is being hunted now by the Pharisees.
Starting point is 01:49:56 They want to do anything they can to stop him because he's a challenge to their power. Just look at this as a political example here. Okay. He is a guy who's saying, look, God is one on one and he forgives you. And these guys, you know, that's not really, they're not really telling you the truth. They're about power. And he's disrupting absolutely everything. And he's going directly to the people.
Starting point is 01:50:27 Well, the people with power didn't like it. And so the Pharisees and the scribes, they come and they storm in. Jesus is standing there. And they throw this woman at his feet. And she had supposedly been caught in the act of adultery. And they said, The law of Moses has ordered us to stone anyone like. a woman like this.
Starting point is 01:50:53 What say you? Now, Jesus knows they are, they're testing him. They didn't care about the woman. Does any of this sound familiar? They don't care about the woman. They wanted to force him into choosing between the law of Moses and the law of Romans. Because the right, if you want to be right with the law of Moses, that forbids adultery. and thou shalt not commit adultery, Seventh Commandment.
Starting point is 01:51:23 Mention 52 times in the Bible, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And in Deuteronomy, it says, let's see if I can quote it here, death is fixed as the penalty for adultery, both women and men. So the man and woman both had to be stoned to death if they were found guilty of adultery. Got it? Mm-hmm. But at the same time, the Romans had a law. And the Roman law was supreme.
Starting point is 01:51:53 It was illegal under Roman law for the Jews to execute anyone. Only the Romans can do it. That's why Jesus was crucified and not stone to death because they couldn't. So they proposed to him, which is it? Should we stone him to death, which would be in the law of Moses but would break the Roman law? or should we not, which would be in line with the Roman law, but break the law of Moses? That's when Jesus says, hey, let he without sin cast the first stone. They wanted to incite a lynching, quite honestly, and it would eventually succeed with crucifixion.
Starting point is 01:52:46 lynching and his crucifixion was mass formation. Let anyone among you who's cast the first stone. Shouldn't that be said more often? Wouldn't we understand each other? They were stunned. They were ready to sacrifice the woman. They were ready for him to be turned into the Romans. But they didn't know what to do,
Starting point is 01:53:17 so they just kind of quieted down, turned around. walked away. Later he made it clear that the Pharisees were the offspring of Satan because their motives are evil and that they were dishonoring Jesus and unable to comprehend the meaning of his words. How do they respond? To throw rocks at him. In his story, Jesus showed us how to escape the terrors of the angry mob. In the book, the psychology of totalitarianism in mass formation, The individual must, I'm quoting, at all times, shows that he submits to the interests of the collective by performing self-destructive symbolic ritualistic behaviors. Mass formation as a form of hypnosis is a phenomenon where each individual are in the grip of the resonance of a voice, the voice of the leader of the crowd. The person who commits the first act, usually a violence or intentional nonviolence, becomes the leader.
Starting point is 01:54:26 The person who commits the first murder is a murderer. Everyone else who murders is an imitation. They're just a follower. And personal responsibility becomes group responsibility. Why is the stone the hardest to throw? Because it's heavy with a weight of responsibility. He who is without sin cast the first. stone because once the first guy does it everyone, Jesus just flips the table.
Starting point is 01:54:58 Instead of violence, he spreads nonviolence. When asked about the greatest commandment again after being trapped, they're trying to trap him again, Jesus said, love your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. That did. didn't happen back then. It's not really happening now. If you obey just those two, there's no reason for any of the other commandments to even exist. The only way to overcome totalitarianism and mass formation is a life of love, service, and nonviolence.
Starting point is 01:55:53 John wrote, whoever does not love remains in death. Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer. This is going to be really hard, really hard, because they have only just begun. But there's got to be groups. There's got to be. And I think the first political imprisonment that I can think of in our country is happening right now with these people. And I'll bet generally they're Catholics who will go and do a sit-in at an abortion clinic. and they'll be charged with a misdemeanor.
Starting point is 01:56:37 But then the police will come and guns are blazing. The FBI shows up and tries to charge them with a felony for 11-year sentences. They're not going to jail for 11 years because they did something really wrong. This is freedom of speech. A sit-in is freedom of speech. They are trying to silence you, trying to make you quiet down. Get in line. Don't you dare stand up.
Starting point is 01:57:18 The only way to win at this point is if you do with love in your heart, peace on your hands, if you stand up and say, no, I'm not going to do that. I'm not participating in this. I will not say those words. I will not comply. Back in a minute. Some companies do a good job. That is to say they sell their product and then get out of your way.

Starting point is 01:59:52 Hey, a couple of other things. There's another whistleblower at the FBI. And I love the fact that these whistleblowers are coming out and coming to Congress. I really do. And I appreciate it from every one of them. But you know what? FBI agents, local FBI agents, you better save your institution because it's losing all love and credibility quickly. And what would help that is people coming out.
Starting point is 02:00:20 on the local level and going, what happened there was wrong and I won't go there. We won't go there. It's certainly not Ephraimblis Jr.'s. No, it's not. Remember the FBI? We loved in color.
Starting point is 02:00:34 Yeah. And you'd respect the FBI. You revered it. Eh, so much right now. Yeah, we probably shouldn't have revered it. But we should respect it if it's on the up and up. But it's not. Here's the latest.
Starting point is 02:00:48 Apparently, according to an intern. Justice Department record, the FBI and the Justice Department have avoided holding the FBI accountable. Hundreds of employees at the FBI have either resigned or retired from the Bureau after being accused of sexual misconduct. A whistleblower has come out and said that hundreds, hundreds of hundreds of, hundreds of, of people. There is a now unclassified Justice Department document from the Office of Disciplinary Appeals titled Retirements and Resignations during the Unwelcome Sexual Conduct Adjudications. And it is dated through 2020.
Starting point is 02:01:40 The results of the investigation from 2004 until the end of the review, 2020, 665 FBI employees. including 45 senior executive service level employees have retired or resigned following an FBI or DOJ Inspector General Investigation into alleged misconduct. But prior to the Office of Professional Responsibilities issuance of a final disciplinary letter, they said that the FBI agent who was in charge of the agency's feel. office in New York had sexually harassed eight females before finally he was allowed to retire. This organization is corrupt from the bottom to the top. And our friends and our neighbors who might vote differently than us need to see this. if you really care about women and sexual harassment and me too, the FBI is the last group of people you should be supporting.
Starting point is 02:02:58 Until this is all exposed and cleaned out, there needs to be real fumigation in Washington, D.C., to get the people who don't live by our laws out of our government, especially those who are enforcing the laws. All right. We will see you back here tomorrow. Thank you, Pat Gray, for sitting in for us too, who is, I don't know, probably doing a sit-in. The Glenn Back program.
