Thank you so much for asking. How much equity do you have in your home? Can you imagine if a cybercriminal decided they were going to steal that equity and no one told you until it was way too late?

Well, that could mean all of those years of savings are gone. Your retirement plan is gone. The FBI calls home title fraud one of the fastest growing crimes in America, which is why you need to go to home title.com. They're America's leader in home title protection. The problem is your deed to your home is the only document. that proves you own it, which is so weird. Like, we need to solve this problem in a major way.

Luckily, Home Title Lock is here to do just that for you. In minutes, a competent criminal can forge your name on the deed to your home and then refile as the new owner. And it sounds like something that, you know, from some terrible true crime documentary, but it happens to people all over the country. It's one of the fastest growing crimes in America. Hometateloc.com is the place to go to make sure you're not on the next true crime documentary on this topic.

Hometitleck.com. it's home tidal lock.com. At the price of a gallon of gas right now, I'm not going to let this engine idle very long. We get right to it in 60 seconds. Derek just wrote in about his experience with Relief Factory. He says, I can't begin to tell you enough and praise enough for your product what it is done for me with regards to my severe lower back pain. So, Glenn, I've been dealing with this pain for over five years now. I tried Relief Factor, and to my amazement, it actually worked.

Thank you for telling me about relief. factor. Derek, thank you for trying it. I know what really just agonizing pain is like, and you've probably tried everything else. And you think, really, cutting my inflammation, that's going to help? I know, didn't think so either, because ibuprofen never works for me. But this has four different ways of attacking your inflammation. Ibuprofen has one. This is four different ingredients, and for 1995, you can try it for three weeks. It's a trial path. hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, 70% of them go on to order more. Relieffactor.com. Call 800 for the number four relief. Yet the 1995 three-week quick start

developed just for you. That's Relieffactor.com. 1-800, the number four, relief. Relieffactor.com. Feel the difference. Okay. I have hesitated on telling you what things are, what's actually going on down on the ground in Ukraine. We didn't really talk about that last week because I'm not sure who to believe. I think our press is so skewed and I know the Russians so skewed. So what is the truth? Well, we have Jason Buttrill with us who has some sources on the ground of Ukraine, mainly because we've done so much work on Ukraine in the last couple of years that we, we, we

He knows some people and he's got also some other contacts as well. Tell me what's going on, Jason. Fairly catastrophic. I won't say catastrophic. It was a very bad weekend for the Russian military. And it's been just a bad invasion period. A lot of the reports that, and you hit on it, is you can't trust a lot of the stuff you see from both sides.

For both sides. Both sides. Good or bad. But all evidence now is showing that Russia probably expected this to be a 72. hour time frame. The initial troops that Russia sent in, there were paratroopers, which are basically glorified riot police. And that fits along, and they were decimated.

Most of them were decimated on entering into the country. I don't have actual casualty counts on either side. Right. Because they're so wildly, you know, wildly skewed on both sides. Probably look at what each side is saying and then take a middle number and that's probably what it was. But even that number is not good for Russia. But a lot of the equipment that's getting either destroyed or captured, they also have riot equipment like shields, batons, stuff like that.

So Russia clearly thought this was, hey, three days maximum will go in, the population will capitulate or turn to us. And this will turn into more of an occupation without firing many shots. Very wrong. Multiple aircraft were shot down this weekend. That just caps off, you know, over the past, you know, week and a half, several aircraft. helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft have been shot down on the Russian side. For the most part, their operations are stalling on the ground because they don't have the logistical capability at the moment to take care of anything.

They don't have fuel. They don't have food, water, things like that are very scarce on the ground, which shows that they were just completely unprepared. This is not a good invasion, which, you know, you might want to say, okay, that's a great thing. but if you look at Russian strategy, if you look at Aleppo, the siege of Aleppo, if you look at the siege of Grozny

during the second, you know, Chechen War, when these things stall, they move to severe bombing, indiscriminate bombing, cluster bombing. They've been doing, we think, the cluster bombing in the cities already. They were doing that last week, which you don't do.

Isn't that against the Geneva Convention? Yes, but the Russians do it, and they get away with it. So now the news is this morning that they have circled all of these cities or a lot of the big cities in Ukraine. That is what they do right before they just start just bombing the snot out of cities, isn't it? Historically speaking. Yes. And they haven't really completed and circling of many of these.

It appears that way. And a lot of people have reported and showing these large clusters of Ukraine that are under Russian control. That's not entirely the truth from what I'm. seeing. Russia has pushed further pushed into Ukraine. They're on major roadways, but they're not really occupying the surrounding territory. For one of the reasons

right now is it's very, very, this is, you know, rainy, it's very muddy, it's very, it's hard to move some of these vehicles across this land. Again, it doesn't seem like they were prepared for that, the Russians. So even the territory that they have, it's not exactly what I would call an occupation.

You know, it's like they're not really occupying those areas. We're seeing the Russians move now in force really and having to have some sort of offense and defense, they don't seem very impressive. Oh, no. Most of them appear, they don't seem like professional soldiers to me. Right. I mean, what, I mean, what happened to the mighty Soviet army? Right. I mean, it almost seems like MacArthur was right. If this is what, if this is the capability, we should just gone through and then gotten this over with from the beginning right after World War II. Russia hasn't fought a war like this. If you look at the United States, we've been fighting a war like this

for over 20 years. And it's very complicated. Combined arms, when you combine artillery, troops in the ground, you know, aircraft in the air, it's complicated. The United States military is the best in the world at it. So I don't know if they just expected, hey, we'll just adopt these tactics and go in and it'll be done. But clearly, this is the evidence that they're not very capable at this kind of warfare. So what does this mean? What do you think that you put Putin into a corner? What do you think that means? Yeah, not good for the people of Ukraine. What you're looking at is if you want to compare it to what it's going to look at,

look at what they did in Aleppo, look at what they did. The world won't stand for that. Yes. Because, you know, they say, well, what about Syria? Syria, it is nothing about race or anything else. It is about the Middle East has always been on fire. It's a dumpster fire. And you never know how to help or if it will help.

you're always on the wrong side. I mean, that's why America didn't look at Syria. America barely looked at the Christians in the area. You know, I mean, we just didn't do anything to help the Christians in the area. So it's not because of a religion or a race. It's because it's a dumpster fire. Yeah. This has been a stable, westernized country, completely corrupt, but a stable

westernized country. So yeah, we are looking at it. And I don't think that the world will stand for him just shelling shit cities. No, we were talking off air, Stu. You mentioned that, you know, where's the Russian Air Force been on this? And I think a big reason why he hasn't probably bombed the heck out of some of these cities with his massive air force is because the world will not stand for this happening to, you know, a more Western European country.

when he just unleashes like he did Nalepo or Grosny, when cluster bombs are hitting Keeve, that's when the world is going to be like, okay, you've gone far enough. The question then is, how far does the West get involved here? Which is get scary. Let me play cut two.

This over the weekend. This is Blinken. What more can the United States do here? If, for instance, the Polish government, a NATO member wants to send fighter jets, does that get a green light from the U.S.? or you were afraid that that will escalate tension? No, that gets a green light.

In fact, we're talking with our Polish friends right now about what we might be able to do to backfill their needs if, in fact, they choose to provide these fighter jets to the Ukrainians. What could we do? How can we help to make sure that they get something to backfill the planes that they're handing over to the Ukrainians? We're in very active discussions with them about that. Look, I've been in Europe for the last couple of days

working closely as always with our allies and partners at NATO, the European Union, the G7 countries, and all of us together are continuing to take steps to increase the pressure on Russia through additional sanctions, all of which are very actively under discussion and will be implemented in the coming days, as well as taking further steps to give the Ukrainians what they need to defend themselves against the Russian aggression. Okay, so this seems like a good thing. Explain how scary. that is? Well, NATO supplied fighter jets. That's kind of another level right there. Coming from Poland, they are old. I think it was mid-209s that they're considering. Remember, in Top Gun, and Mig-28s. That was like, that was in the 80s. So, but yeah, so, but this is still an escalation.

And it's got the earmarks of your typical Cold War, you know, battle, whether it's the US and Vietnam, the Chinese and the Soviets wouldn't get involved, but they would supply Russians to the Vietnamese. Very similar. North Korea, same thing. This is how, and Afghanistan, point that one out too. But this is a major regression and it's got all the, you know, the symptoms or the, you know, the same things that happened during the Cold War.

Now, the question now is, you know, like during Vietnam, we knew this was going on. United States wasn't on the verge of collapse. How, you know, Russia can't sustain this, right? They cannot continue to let all these weapons go into Ukraine, embarrassing Putin. While at the same time, you know, an economic, you know, WMD is now being unleashed on Russia. So he's going to have civil problems. These people are going to rise up. We're not going to see that probably because TikTok, you know, all these Russian media outlets,

Facebook, Twitter are now shut off in Russia, which is a tragedy, really. But we're not going to see how they're reacting. But they're not going to react well. So Visa and MasterCard over the weekend said they're not going to process anything in Russia, which Russia immediately turned to China. And they said, fine, we'll use their, you know, Visa or MasterCard. But this is targeting the civilians, which we've never, ever, ever, ever done before. It was sanctions.

We always say we are targeting the regime or targeting the country. we don't target the individuals. My understanding too is that the cards will work. Russian issued visas will work inside of Russia. So they can still buy basic supplies with these cards. They just can't buy anything international. So it is, it's remarkable to me that nobody is noticing the number of companies that are involved in this. This has never been seen before.

And everybody is saying this is great. and screaming for, you know, the oil to be shut off from Russia. But could I just point out, we don't have the oil. If we want it to shut off, we need to say, open up our own oil and gas resources. We can't afford to shut this off. Well, it's only 10%. Okay. You want another 10% on top?

This is death for the United States. We are right now negotiating with Iran and Venezuela. Amazing. Why would we enrich those two countries? Look, I know the global warming bull crap. I know all of these people are like, well, the planet's going to die. Well, you know what?

I know the radicals, the real radicals, believe that we should just, we need to shut down more than we did at COVID-19. That's death for millions of people all around the world. Literally, that will mean millions will die all around the world. We cannot shut down all of our fossil fuels at this point. Can't do it. I would understand if the president who disagrees with me came out and said, look, for the next nine months or however long this thing drags on, we are going to open our

pipelines, we are going to fund our, you know, the exons of the world. We are going to start going back and taking the natural gas out and shipping it. We're doing it because we have to or we'll kill the nation. Now I'm going back and I'm shutting it all off again in whenever, nine months, whatever it is. people would understand that, reasonable people, the only people that wouldn't understand it, are the Marxists that want to destroy us anyway. It makes no sense. None. Why would we be enriching Venezuela and Iran instead of taking care of business ourselves? That should be the number one call.

I want the oil to stop from Russia, but I want the oil to be replaced with American oil and gas, period. Back in a minute. American financing NMLS-182334 www. nmLS Consumer Access.org. So I'm going to give you the talk I gave my family yesterday. Not the one I gave them a few days ago where they all freaked out and then they were all like, oh, we need to talk. I'm going to share some ideas with you on things that you can do and should do right now. Let me tell you about American financing first. Concentrate on what you have. It's time to understand what is coming your way and prepare your family for impact. If you're not

careful, inflation will erode your hard-earned savings. You can feel it right now, the gas pump. By the way, Stu, did you see the price of oil? We've said that it was. It was $147 a barrel in 2008, and that's what caused the collapse. Sustained 147, right? It was a big part of it, yeah. Yeah. And I think gas was at $4.11. Yes.

Did you see the numbers where the inflation numbers that's not adjusted for inflation? Yeah, because they're saying, well, it's $4 a gallon now. And so $4.11, it could break the record maybe this week. However, you have to adjust that for inflation. And if you adjust it for inflation, it's actually 525 a gallon from 2008, which I think they mean to make you feel good about it. Like, oh, we're not really that close to the all-time record. Since 2008, we've lost that much in inflation? 25, 30%.

That's insanity. It's only two precedents ago. Two and a half. Yeah. I mean, if you, I mean, really, I guess it happened in 2008, not 2009, technically, right? So, yeah. I mean, that is. that is insanity, just insanity.

Well, anyway, inflation's going to kill you everything. You just need to be saving as much money as you can. Pay the lowest amount you can. Get out of those high interest credit cards. Get a consolidation loan or a mortgage refy right now. You can skip up to two mortgage payments. You can close in as little as 10 days. Call American financing at 800, 906, 2440, 800, 906, 2440.

800, 906, 2440. It's Americanfinancing.net. 10 seconds, station ID. So, all right, Friday I was concerned. Saturday when I got up, because Friday I was concerned because the State Department said, Americans should consider leaving Russia. Okay. All right.

If I were in Russia, I'd probably go, you know what? I think it's about time going to home. However, Saturday, they said, the State Department said, all Americans should immediately leave Russia. I don't know. That was kind of concerning because you don't just higgledy-piggledy throw that one out. There's a lot of Americans working at Russia. Right.

Including WMBA players. Right. And you don't just say, hey, by the way, you should leave right now and upend everybody's lives without real reason. that's usually the last thing that happens before a country goes to war. Then, Saturday afternoon, they talked about reinstalling the red phone, the hotline. Now, for those who didn't grow up in the time period I did, the hotline was there on the president's desk and the desk of whoever was running things in Moscow. So it's a direct line from Putin to Biden.

So if something happens in the fog of war, before you launch, you call and say, was that a mistake or did you just escalate? Because I got my finger on the button right now. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We did not mean to do that. Shooting down on that plane was a mistake. Okay.

It's the last fail safe. It is the last line of defense before a nuclear missile launch. It's a little terrifying to say, you know what? Get that old phone. Get it down. Do we still have it? I think it's a Smithsonian. You bring it in here.

I mean, that's a little terrifying. Is it just me? So, Jason, do you see this getting worse? Better? You say that they weren't prepared for this. They're having heavy losses. Blinken said there's very little sign of any kind of negotiations. So what does it get worse or better from here?

I wish I had the answer. It's definitely going to get worse. Putin cannot afford to look weak on the national stage or in his own country or abroad, especially in his own country. So he's going to push to get some kind of agreement where he's going to say, look, I won, but then they also took a win there as well. I think that he'll still try and say, before I commence bombardment of these cities and Pola Grosny, this is what we want.

And I think that he's already kind of hinted that he wants them to change their constitution, which would probably say we will not join the EU, we will not join NATO, which they don't belong in either, by the way. So Ukraine definitely could, you know, capitulate on that. The areas where they might not capitulate on is recognizing Crimea and eastern Ukraine as a Russian or separate. You think he's going to stop with that, though? I mean, with this attack, that's where I thought he was going initially.

But you think he'd fall back to that position at this point? I think that he'll have no choice eventually. He can't occupy Ukraine, doesn't have the forces and his troops don't have the capability. Just seeing what I've seen. They probably don't also have the will. What am I doing? Why am I here? Many of them didn't even know what they were doing. Yeah.

All right. Back in just a second. Thank you so much, Jason. More in a moment. Let me tell you about Rough Greens. Been telling you about Rough Greens for a while now. Oh, you know what's exciting? My daughter, she rescued five other puppies.

So now she has eight. It's great. No, it's great. It's great. It's crazy. Anyway, I've been telling you about rough greens for my dog, Uno. They are fantastic. I mean, I couldn't get any Uno.

eat anything. You put cheese on his food. He would eat the cheese and eat around the food. I was afraid that would happen with rough greens. It doesn't. He loves his food now. I don't know what's in it. It's like dog crack. But actually, I do know what's in it. It's all good things. It's got probiotics because they sterilize everything. They cook everything out of kibble food. So it's all dead food. And they need things like you need probiotics, et cetera. Get your first bag for free. All you pay for is shipping. Just see if your dog will love it as much as Uno does. Roughgreens.com slash Beck or call 833 Glenn 33.

Hello, Glenn. How are you? Never been. Perfect. Really? Pretty much perfect. Wow, that is amazing. And you'd think you running a company with cost of inflation, right?

You know, driving to and fro work. Exactly. Yeah. And yet, everything's perfect. Yeah. Huh. You haven't seen any impact on your cookie company. Oh, almost none.

No. No. No. No. Ingredients are cheaper than ever. Yeah. Yeah. So I went to Costco on Friday night. That was our date night.

That was our date night. Nice. It's a fun day. Yeah. So, you know, I, just went and I bought lots of things, you know, and it was fun. It actually turned out to kind of be fun. The guys who are checking out, Tanya and I, and all of the people in the line behind us were having a guessing game on how much is that going to cost? Because we got butter and meat, lots of

butter and meat. And just butter and meat? No, no, no, we got a bunch of other things, but that was like, I mean, how do you? That's like gold. It's like gold now. I mean, picking up the meat, I'm like, honey, I mean, I'm starting to like vegetarianism. It is crazy. You know, we were at the cash register and it was like, is that a bug we could eat? Let's look at that bug over there on the floor.

It is just, it's insane. Yeah. And the average person now, so I can't even say this. It's not an average person. the person who makes $100,000 a year, the average $100,000 a year earner is now living paycheck to paycheck. Since seeing that's double what the average person

in household makes, uh, you've got some problems. Yeah. Yeah. It might surprise you to know that butter goes into some of the cookies that we make. Really? Yeah.

Doesn't surprise me at all. Yeah. A lot of butter. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, the prices have gone. through the roof. It's crazy. Through the roof. It is crazy. And, you know, everything I've been thinking about, you know, all of everybody that works here in thinking, you know, everybody is under stress. So how do you give everybody a raise for inflation? Well, then you'd have to raise the price of the Blaze subscription. And that hurts people. And then they have to get around. I mean, it's just, it's, it's the inflation spiral. Yeah. Yeah. And the. The good news is we do have some friends around the world that will help us out, right?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Iran is going to help us out a little bit because we're trying to get rid of the, we're trying to ban the Russian oil. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's got to be replaced by something somewhere, right? And we're not going to, we for some reason we can't, we can't drill our own oil. Well, we can't figure that one out. Can't figure it out.

Not since Trump, anyway. Trump figured it out, but Biden can't. Yeah. And so we're turning to good, close personal friends like Iran. Iran. So how's that negotiation going? It's going pretty well. According to one of the lead negotiator for the Iranians, he had good things to say about the negotiations. Really? Yeah, he did. Do we have it? Here it is. I think we do. Yeah. Iranian colleagues are fighting for Iranian nuclear.

Iranian nuclear. National interests look like lions. Indeed, I'm very serious. They fight for every comma, every word. Every word. and as a rule quite successfully. Quite successfully. I must recognize that. Do you think that this could be a good deal for Iran because there have been different arguments inside that. I'm absolutely

sincere. I'm sincere in this regard. Iran got much more than it could expect. Oh, wow. Iran got much more than it could expect. Yeah. Much more. Much more. And he goes on to Wow.

Reemphasize that point multiple times that they got much more than they could expect from the United States. And I believe it. Who doesn't believe that? Constant weakness. Constant weakness. That's the entire presidency. Constant incompetence in everything they do. Now hang on just a second. We're also sending people down to Venezuela.

And we're trying to get some Venezuelan oil up here. That'll be good. Won't that be good? That'll be really, really good. And another good close personal friend. Yes. Venezuela. Yes.

And then today Biden is thinking about sending some people to fly out to Saudi Arabia to, I mean, look at what we're doing. It's not like we're desperate. We have it. We could supply the whole world with the oil. We have it. We have cleaner oil than the rest of the world. We just won't use it. Nope, won't use it.

America, you have to call your congressman and your senator. Stop this nonsense of telling them to shut down the Russian oil. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not unless we drill our own oil and gas here. We have to provide the rest of the world. We're not going to Iran and to Venezuela and to Saudi Arabia. What is wrong with this administration? Well, we know, we know.

We know. It's run by Marxists who don't have... Don't have America's interest at heart. No. By the way, did you hear about Brittany Greiner? Yeah. Essentially being held captive in Russia. Yeah. Now, do you believe, do you know anything about her? She apparently was... She's a big basketball player. She was like an MVP of the WMBA, wasn't she? Yeah. She's like a big deal. She's big, yeah.

So she was in Russia. She was at the airport coming out and... She's playing in a Russian league, by the way, wondering why she's in Russia right now. She's a spy. Anyway, no, she was over in Russia. She was coming out over the weekend when the State Department said every American should leave immediately. She was at the airport. She had, I think, already gone through security. And then she was stopped.

You have it on tape. You can see it. They stop her. They go through one of her purses or luggage. And they found a vape. what do you call it pipe and apparently it had hashish oil

in it did it don't know we don't know don't know certainly it wouldn't matter if it did or not from the Russians no you know they could just say it does and she could be now in a Russian prison for 10 years 10 years for that yeah it's scary and I

I wish her well and I hope this doesn't turn into a bit I hope she's not spending 10 years I mean, unless she, you know, if she was guilty of this, I mean, I guess you've just, you got to obey the law. Yeah, I would say that. Yeah, but still, is that a 10-year offense? No, it's not a 10-year. No, it is not.

No. Yep. But I will, but I also, I'd just like to point out, she was one that would not walk out onto the court. Yeah. For a year if the National Anthem was being played. And I'm bet, I'm betting she would stand up for the National Anthem at this point. You know what I mean? You would hope so.

Looking for anyone with a flag on their arm or their lapel to come in and help her. It's amazing how that works. Yeah, it is. Isn't it all? Because you do think when that happens. Yeah, why don't you try somebody else's justice system? Justice system and see how that works for it. And I don't wish this on her and I'm not gleeful about it.

I'm just, let's not take for granted what we do have still here in America. And there's no way. I mean, it used to be that the American passport was a golden ticket. Nobody was stopping an American citizen because we had, you know, we had some power and some clout in the world. And you didn't mess with Americans. Now it doesn't matter because we're a clown show. We're not a clown country, but we're a clown show. We are run by clowns.

And everybody knows that. Yeah. I mean, yeah, and they're taking advantage of us because of that. Oh, yeah. Yeah. What, the clowns or the other countries? No, the other countries. Well, the clowns are too.

Yeah, that's true. The clowns are trying to convince us that we all should, we all have been wearing clown shoes and have clown noses. And we're like, I mean, does anybody else feel like it is the emperor's new clothes where we're all sitting here going, no, that's not right? No, no, no, you shouldn't be doing that. And everybody stands around going, oh, look at what they're doing. Isn't that great?

Look at what we're, I mean, look at this. It's amazing because the Ukrainians, God bless them, are sitting there saying, hey, can you guys help us out more? Can you do X, Y, and Z? Do you realize what you're asking for? We're going to make things much worse with this group of people trying to fix the situation. Oh, my gosh. All we're going to do is screw up your life more. Like, if Ronald Reagan was president, I have some understanding and faith that maybe we would be able to navigate almost impossible waters with Joe Biden as president.

Yeah. I mean, we might as well, we might as well completely just give up. You know, I mean, he is, the incompetence on every single aspect of foreign policy since he took office is incomprehensible. I mean, your book, The Great Reset, goes into why a lot of this stuff is going on that maybe it's not just incompetence. And that's the only thing that explains it. You couldn't just be this bad all the time.

No, you could not. I mean, I would like, you're an odd, sky. You do know any odds makers that we could call and say, let's just look at the policies of this administration. Give me the odds that they're this wrong, this stupid, that every single thing turns against the United States of America. What are the odds? Yeah, I'd love. Billion to one. We've said many times on the air, what would you do differently if you were trying to destroy the country?

Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. I can't think of anything. Nothing. I mean, they've done a beautiful job of it. I would get involved in Ukraine. That's the one thing I would do.

Get involved in Ukraine. Yeah, which they still may do. Yeah. Jeez. Please tell your congressman and senator. No. No. Back in a minute.

Stay for a sick, Pat. More with Patton just a second. True love of country and those who serve it, as well as a deep commitment. It means thoughts and prayers. because those are real, have real power. But it also means reaching out with a helping hand when those who served can't reach out anymore.

So, I don't understand the caucus system. I know that tomorrow is the caucus, and every pro-life, real conservative person needs to go out to the caucus. You're talking in Utah. In Utah. So Mike Lee is up. And man, the left is gunning for him. And so is the right, sadly.

Well, I mean the Lincoln project kind of left or righties. You know what I mean? Romney won't endorse him. And I don't think Mike would want his endorsement anyway. No. You know, Mike would be gracious about it. The thing about Mike is he's being called a radical. A radical, Mike Lee, have him over.

over to the house for a party. If it's radical to support and know and defend the Constitution, then yeah, he's a radical. He is a radical, but that's it. He's not a bomb thrower or anything else. And man, are they doing everything? Everything. He's running in this caucus against a Republican who voted or I can't say I know that they voted. I know they worked hard against the Down syndrome abortion bill.

You're a Republican and you worked against the bill to stop aborting Down syndrome babies? What are you crazy? It's amazing. Jeez. And the governor, a Republican governor, is the one that is now saying they're going to veto the protection of women in girls in women's sports. He's going to veto it. He's a Republican. Wow.

I think that's... No, I don't. We have to look more into that one. It doesn't make any sense. So how does that you live there for a while? How does this caucus thing work? Is it a convention? Do you go around?

Is it like Iowa? I don't know how similar it is to Iowa because I'm not that familiar with Iowa's or Utah's caucus system. You live there for? I did live there. And you didn't go to these. I didn't go to the caucuses at the time. And why? You didn't care about your country.

Probably just didn't care. So I'm looking at trying, this is a timeline for a few years ago. I'm thinking about going there tomorrow. I want to see it work, but I also want to see. Yeah. I want to be able to look Republicans in the eye and go, really? Hmm. Really?

Glenn, just I, we should just put your eyeballs on two giant screens and every room where they're voting. I'm just going to stand in front and just go, really want to make that case? Do you? So looking at it, this is a little bit old. Maybe outdated if someone from Utah knows more they can call in. but it looks like the march is the precinct officers, county delegates, and state delegates are elected at neighborhood caucus meetings. Okay. So you're picking those delegates.

Then in May, there's a convention. Oh, that one's risky. Where you can, where those people you elected go and vote. So getting the right people elected as the delegates is important because those are the people who vote at the convention. Anyone, anyone who is for Mike Lee, get your ass to the, to the caucus. tonight. Sorry, didn't mean to use the A word. I know, I know. Mike would be like, why are you... Don't do that.

I don't want to win if you're going to use the A word. If you're going to use that language, I don't want to. Get there. Get there. There is a... Utah is in one of those states that is, has been targeted by the mealy. It's why you have the

NSA listening compound just outside of the city. And everybody knows it. Because you're docile. No, I don't want to cause any problems. I don't want, you know, when it comes to the Constitution of the United States, I think it's about time we start standing up for it. And that doesn't mean with arms or with, you know, anger or anything else. It's just time to stand up and go, no. Sure is. Yeah. Do you see the person on the view was it the other day that was talking about

how the U.S. Constitution is kind of trash? And all the ladies seem to disagree. Nobody really stood up for the U.S. Constitution. It's time to stand up for the U.S. Constitution. Yeah. And Mike Lee is the guy to do it. If you're in Utah, get to the caucus, so he's not going to lose in the stupid convention. Just I don't know what you're doing in that state,

and I shouldn't have any control of that state, but I'm thinking about moving to that state just so I can fix your stupid election caucus crap. Get to the polls. tomorrow.

It looks like Russia has claimed a limited ceasefire in key cities. Now, they did this this weekend, and then they broke that ceasefire, so I don't know, but that is the latest news. All right, let me tell you about blinds.com. The weather is starting to warm up. Last week, this weekend, was it so hot and humid here you couldn't take it, Stu? It was just, I thought it was brutal with the, with the humidity this week. Really? Yeah, it was like 80 degrees and I don't know, a thousand percent humidity.

I'm welcoming the fall away from this ridiculous. We had hail this morning. Hale. What was it? Hale. I dressed today in light clothes because I thought it was going to be hot. And we have hail this morning. This is, it's global climate change.

Yes. It's global climate. Anyway, weather's warming up means you're going to start opening up your house. start sprucing the place up, giving it all the TLC.

MetLife and the Chamber of Commerce has a small business index survey. And they conducted it in late January. and they found that 85% of small business owners say they're concerned about the effects of inflation on their business, up from 74% just before the holiday. Almost half of small business owners, 44% say they are very concerned about their higher prices.

Remember, this was in January. I think things are probably a little worse right now, don't you think? It's one of those things, you know, I read the diaries. of a guy in Germany. It's fascinating. I'm trying to remember the name of it. It's fascinating. And during the Weimar Republic, when inflation hit and then hyperinflation, he said,

last week, we didn't know what the word hyperinflation even meant. This week, it's all anyone is talking about. That's how fast things happen. Anyway, 76% said they are finding it difficult to manage higher costs because of inflation. Consumer prices rose 7.5 in 12 months and ending January. Fastest pace of inflation in four decades. Inflation is not only grown to soaring highs, but is also increased at a rapid pace. Less than a year ago, when the Chamber of Commerce conducted the same survey,

only 16% of small business owners cited inflation as a big concern. Think of that. 16%. Now it's 76% very concerned. 41% of owners said they had to downsize by decreasing staff in order to cope. More than a quarter of the small business owners surveyed said the supply chain problems are their biggest concern. While slightly fewer 24% pointed to COVID-19 as their top trepidation, both of these were dwarfed by the 33,000. 3% who said inflation was the biggest concern.

Majority of small businesses, 63% said that the supply chain had been disrupted by the pandemic. The problem is, I mean, I have a trucker in the family. And the problem is, they can't afford to move the goods. They're not really getting any money, an increase for the gas that really is handling all of this. So these truckers, I mean, how are they going? You think the supply chain is bad now. How are these truckers going to be able to do something if they can't afford the gas? Think about how much that gas is costing you.

I'd love to hear from a trucker. What does it cost to fill your tank? And I have another question. What are those really big barrel things around the exhaust pipes? Are those mufflers, you know, on each side of the door? You know what I mean? Those big huge around kind of, yeah. What are those? Are those mufflers? I don't know. I drove by one and I was like, you know, I don't even know what those are. I wonder what that is. Anyway, how much does it cost to fill a truck? Can you even imagine? And you can't eat that? Everything. It's in every single product, obviously, that you utilize on a daily basis. I mean, think about just like the Uber.

You know, think about the people who get around an Uber all the time. They're obviously going to have to jack these prices up. I don't know. I think they're probably doing it already. but you don't even understand. I mean, think of, you know, think of any medication that you take that is in a capsule, okay? Not a tablet, but a capsule. That capsule is made from petroleum products. Everything, you know, people are not thinking about the natural gas. You know, we're just going to shut down the natural gas pipelines.

Oh, are we? You know what makes fertilizer? natural gas. So natural gas, having a shortage of natural gas means you're not having the fertilizer that you always have. You can't make the fertilizer in the amounts that we need. So we're buying most of it already from Russia and China. You think that's going to go well?

How much is it going to cost to get things from China if oil is a hundred, $185 a barrel. How much? How much? Right now in California, they are paying $6.95 for regular. For regular. How is that going to impact the people of California?

I mean, the people of California, I mean, you guys got to get out of there. You're so screwed. You're so screwed. You're so screwed. You know, they just passed this thing where, You can't build any more single family housing. And they're rezoning things. So you can have multifamily housing in these areas that we're zoned forever for single family housing.

You know, when you think about the zoning, you know, you might want to think, hmm, if there are four people to a house or four families to a house instead of one family to a house, how many cars have to be parked on the street. How many cars are now going to be on that small little street, just driving? Gee, are the schools prepared for four times as many children? Is there a food desert? Because there'll probably be one now with four times as many people living in this area. Nobody is thinking about you can't make one small change. and expect everything to fall into place.

All of this has been designed for reasons. And these Marxists are coming in here thinking, oh, well, we can just, it is honestly, it is let's ban Russian oil. I'm all for it. If we open up our oil and not our oil reserve, not our strategic oil reserve, start pumping it. Open up your pipelines.

Start pumping the natural gas again. Guys, if we don't have natural gas, we don't have fertilizer. If we don't have fertilizer, we get half the food that we need just to fill our own tables with food. Anyway, you know, the Fed keeps saying, oh, no, no, no. You know, it's really, it's really great. I mean, the median, the savings, people have more in their savings now than ever before. Does that feel right to you? Do you know people who are like, oh, I got so much in savings?

I don't really care. Right? Does that feel right to you? I hear that all the time. Well, it's true. If you look at the total to Americans, do judges, do judges? Americans have more in their savings again. And you're like everyone in the country combined.

Everyone in the country combined. The answer is yes. But if you look at the median, no. No, not so true. No. Mm-mm. Median all houses.

If you are in the lowest 20%, you have zero. If you are in the second 20%, you have $860. If you're in the middle 20%, you might be able to scrape up median all households $12,330. I think that's pretty great.

I don't know a lot of people have $12,330. Do you have that in a bank account? When you were a median income person, that's a lot of money to have. Good chunk of, good little nest egg there. Yeah. Good beginning to, certainly an emergency plan, right? Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Top 10% top 10% has $48,100. Wow. Top 10% of earners. Top 1% has 1,627,820. So anybody, if you are living in the bottom 50%, you got nothing. you got nothing. Top 50%.

You got something at the bottom of the top 50. And you got a lot if you're in the top one. This is just cash on hand? Or is this, you know, this doesn't count like equity in your home per se? Or does it? Do we know how it's kind of a court's medium income? Averages and mediums in the group shows smaller tier averages. I don't know why I'm asking you this question.

You have? Yeah, I have absolutely no idea. I don't look into those. things. This is my job to look into these things and I'll have to do that. And you didn't. I'm apparently not. But that's a fascinating thing because, you know, this is, of course, this type of

stuff that they bring up all the time on the left. And I say this is income inequality. That's the problem. If we just had more equal incomes and higher tax rates, all these problems would be solved. Now, that doesn't make any sense when you actually break the numbers down, but this is their case for it. The thing with the, with the maximum amount of savings,

that I keep hearing is the government flooded the market with so much money that many business, people who worked at businesses were able to, you know, in a time that was scary, they were able to put some of this money away and didn't take trips, didn't take vacations, didn't buy high ticket items for a while. And now that things are opening up, they're flooding the market for these high ticket items that were not being produced in 2020. money. And so now, as you always say, too many dollars chasing too few goods. And we're getting to that point where that inflation is hitting really hard at some point in the near future. Of course, Glenn, because this is transitory, they are going to be able to ramp up production and meet that demand. And these problems are supposedly going to go away. Yeah. Look at the energy prices. Look at what's going on with Ukraine and Russia and how that's going to affect the global economy. God forbid, too, that China gets. involved in Taiwan and if the same

sorts of restrictions, when we really cannot afford to put those restrictions on China, it would ruin the global economy, not to mention our own specifically. Let's just say that we, they don't take Taiwan. Let's just say they decide to take a hard line

because they are now blaming us for Ukraine. They're saying we did it. And in some regards, you might say we didn't, but the Biden administration did and the Biden administration or Biden family along with the Obama administration probably played a role in this. However, it's Russia that invaded, not the United States. But China is now blaming us.

And they are blaming us internally, not just externally, internally. They're saying all of this is going on because of the United States. So what happens to our supply line? what happens to our oil if we've decided not to open up oil here instead we said Venezuela who is by the way a in bed partner with Russia and Iran who by the way is a partner with Russia and Iran who by the way is a partner with Russia and China what happens when we're asking all these countries to help us and they decide you know what, there's an axis power here. Yeah. Right. And, you know, I keep thinking of this, too, there's so many questions that are open. Think of Russia right now, who we are, we are on television saying, yeah, Poland can give jets to Ukraine to go and, you know, do all sorts of things in Ukraine to protect them, which, of course, we all want that to happen. And we will backfill their Air Force. So essentially, we're the ones

giving these jets to Ukraine. We are saying, we are, there's, you know, published reports all over the place of all of these, you know, missiles and air defense units and all the things we've been stingers and javelins and all the things we're giving to Ukraine. We're saying it. Think about what would happen if Russia was doing the same when we were going into Iraq, right? We, if they were saying, yeah, by the way, we are sending these weapons, we're outwardly doing it, and those are the things killing your soldiers. How would we react to that? Not well. Not well. And at some point, Russia, especially if they get a really strong resistance for a long period of time in Ukraine,

is going to take action against us, whether it's through cyber attacks or through some other form of economic manipulation. I don't think they're going to start launching missiles at our cities, at least not yet. But there are plenty of things they can do and have given us a taste of it already that they can do kind of under the table without their hands on it and affect our lives in real ways. Do you think we're ready for a legitimate cyber attack from Russia? Do you think we are prepared for that in any way? How confident are you in our defenses on that?

and our resilience to that. Not at all. Not at all. Not at all. Yeah. I don't think America, I mean, you know, I was trying to explain war to the kids. Made them cry all weekend, but tried to explain war to the kids. This is a different war, and this is what Americans need to understand.

This is not like the war that all of us have known if you're my age. Okay. I'm 57, 58, I don't know, I'm 40. And, I mean, I remember Vietnam and I remember it ending. This isn't even Vietnam, okay? What is possible on the horizon here is World War II Depression kind of stuff, okay? That's what's on the horizon. So please tell your congressman and your senators, hey,

shut up about shutting down the Russian oil unless it is coupled with opening up our own energy supplies. I'm all for cutting off Russian oil, but not if we are taking it from our strategic oil reserves and then whining and dining Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela. That's suicide. Call your congressman and your senator and tell them to start. demanding we open up our own oil supplies back in just a second if the thing is worth doing it's worth doing right this applies across the board it applies nowhere so strongly as it does to the raising of our children it is our duty given to us by God to raise our children the best way that we can and we've always kind of had us feeling at least in my generation that all the schools are

you know they're going to give them no they're not no they're not we can't just feed and clothe them. It means teaching them to difference between right and wrong, bringing them up to understand the place where they live.

Let me go to Lisa quickly in Texas. Hello, Lisa. Yes, hello. Hi, welcome. You're on the year. Thank you. I just wanted to share, I had listened to your discussion on the caucus system in Utah. I participated for about 10 years or so in there on various levels. What happens, it's based off what the founders did in the early 18th century, a caucus system where they got together, think of the Sons of Liberty. They got together in a political discussion in a secret place, and they had

discussions and they chose their leadership. This is basically what a caucus system is. As the neighbors get together, they choose their state delegates and their county delegates that would then go to the state and county conventions. They would choose their precinct leaders

and the leadership for their communities. And then those delegates would go back and interview that's... Okay. Thank you. I got to cut you off because I have a network break. But it happens tomorrow. If you support Mike Lee, go tomorrow. I can't.

I just don't know. You know, the problem is with some of these good guys like Mike Lee, everyone just assumes, ah, he's fine. No, no, he's not. No, he's not. There are a lot of weasel Republicans. Anyway, relief factor. Let me tell you about Heidi.

And then there are weeks. where decades happen. Vladimir Lennon. Let's go to Ramsey, who's here in Texas, your truck driver. Yes, sir. I'm asking how much it costs

to fill up a tank. Yeah. On my truck, I run two, 125-gallon tank, oh, 250 gallons. The fill this truck up cost me right now $975. If I,

I have a few friends, that run a little bigger tank, and of course it costs them over a thousand. This week, my family owns and operates a sawmill, so I have to drive a truck periodically, but we have a lot of equipment that we have to fuel up, and so we have a pretty good relationship with a local fuel dealer, and they're telling us that this week there will be a 30-cent hike, so we'll go from 390 to 420, and I'm already looking at increasing my trucking cost because of the increase in fuel. Okay, so are you able to get all you able to get?

able to get all of that money back when you're shipping loads? I do. Because I pass that on to the consumer. And that's the issue is that once you trucking passes that on to whoever is shipping it to. Yes. Well, that's

eventually going to hurt me because I'm buying groceries. So all of that stuff is shipped through trucks and that's what really causes real increases in grocery prices. I've looked to a guy on RF's DTV the other day talking about fertilizer. He's a big commercial farmer.

And he was saying that they were actually considering not planting some of their fields because of the cost of fertilizer. Well, what do you think that's going to do to produce at the grocery store? We're not going to be able to get it. You're not going to have to worry about whether or not it's high in price. You're just not going to be able to buy it. Thank you so much, Ramsey. Steve in Ohio.

He's also a trucker. How much you paying? I just don't fuel the other day, 130 gallon of fuel. cost me $670. That's about every other day. And I run local. Holy cow. And are you able to recoup all that money?

Yes and no. I mean, they give you fuel surcharge, but, you know, the cost of tires and everything. It's just so expensive right now. It's just almost not worth even having a truck anymore. Steve, thank you. Dan, Dan, go ahead.

Yeah, truck stop. It's up 55 cents a gallon in a week at 490 a gallon. Average 150 gallons to 200 gallons. And that's about 900 bucks. How much is it? How often do you have to fill up? Every day. Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh. Thank you, Dan. Appreciate it. This is why things are going to continue to go up. You have to remember that oil that, you know, we can go, we got to get off. We got to get off these fossil fuels. We got to get off them. Uh-huh.

Everything, everything, everything from fertilizer to bug spray to the capsules that you eat, to plastic, to the stuff that you wrap your meat in, let alone the stuff that keeps the bugs and the soil. in a in a condition where you could grow the food to feed the cows and then move that food with a truck to where the cows are, then move the cows to where they can be, uh, butchered, then wrapped in little plastic and styrofoam also from petroleum products and sent again by a truck to your grocery store where you drive in a car with gas to get to the grocery store and back. It's a miracle. It's a miracle that this system has worked.

But it has been put together quite brilliantly. And it is an economy that lasts and works around the price of $100 to $120 a barrel. Anywhere from 90 to 110 or 20 with inflation, that's where our economy is supposed to be. That's the whole thing is designed around that. Once you get past that, everything starts to fall apart. That's the problem. Let me go to, let me switch the topics here. CNN has stopped broadcasting in Russia.

Now, they didn't do it to boycott. They did it because Putin has a new criminal code out. You ready for this one? They've stopped broadcasting because there are, evaluating his criminal code. He just signed a law that effectively criminalizes any public opposition or independent news reporting about the war against Ukraine. It will imprison journalists for up to 15 years for spreading fake news about the Russian military and the invasion of Ukraine. The new law set to take effect this last Saturday requires journalists to verify their

reports on the war with a Russian official. Taking effect, it will make it a crime to simply call the war a war, according to the New York Times. Now, they're very upset about this. They're very upset about this. They should be able to, they should be able to decide what's fake news and what's not. How dare the government tell them what's fake news? And then the government gets their, their goon squad to.

silence all those who disagree with that? Yeah, well, in Russia, it is a little different. They actually have a government that will put you in prison. Here, you just lose your livelihood. You're in a, you're in a virtual prison, which is really nice. You can't do anything either, which is really, really nice because of your fake news, even though it seemed like fake news about those truckers. Anyway, let's just talk about, thank God we have those Canadian truckers behind those virtual bars where they belong. There's just no reason to go down the road where you start to look more and more like Russia, right?

I mean, obviously what Russia has done is an incredible escalation to this. But there's no reason to go down that road. Can I play cut 10, please, Justin Trudeau? And he says there's some slippage. There's some slippage. We've come to a moment that, quite frankly, we've seen coming over the past years. We've talked about it in the news, not just about Ukraine, but about democracies around the world, that we see a bit of a slippage in our democracies. Huh.

countries turning towards slightly more authoritarian leaders what yeah yeah countries allowing increasing misinformation and disinformation to be shared on social media turning people against the values and the principles of democracy so strong just for a second we see a slippage of our democracies and we see it when these these democracies Allow people online to disagree with the government line. What? Wow. That's no.

You might, uh, you might want to examine yourself here, Justin. That whole definition of how it's slipping, uh, might tell you a little something about which side you're actually on. You keep saying these words. I do not think you mean what you think it means. Elon Musk said, some governments have asked SpaceX to block Russian state media on its Starlink internet satellites, but said, we will not do so unless at gunpoint. Now, here's a guy that has created all kinds of jobs, is reinventing the entire market,

is doing the electric cars because he believes in global warming, okay? But you don't hear, there's no one on the left supporting Elon Musk's. No one. You know why? That's so weird. He's not creating good union jobs. That's why. I guess, but I mean, he's the global warming guy.

Yeah, I know. He's building spaceships to plan to escape the earth because he believes global warming is so dangerous. And yet they, you go off that reservation for one second, man. Oh, you're done. It's really incredible. He says one, he wants to open up one of his factories to build the electric cars to save the planet from what you keep saying is the most. the existential threat that we all have to fight against. And he wants to open up his factory during COVID.

And now you guys won't talk to him anymore. Well, they also won't talk to him because of things like this. Hopefully, quoting him this weekend, hopefully it's now extremely obvious that Europe should restart dormant nuclear power stations and increase power output of existing ones. This is critical to national and international security. Also, nuclear is vastly. better for global warming than burning hydrocarbons for energy.

For those who mistakenly think this is a radiation risk, pick what you think is the worst location. I will travel there and eat locally grown food on TV. I did this in Japan many years ago shortly after Fukushima. Radiation risk is much, much, much lower than most people believe. Oh, absolutely. He's right on that. It amazes me on how many people have said,

Did you hear that they bombed the nuclear power plant? There might be a crack there? What do you think that means? Not much. No, I don't think you heard me. There might be some radiation. What do you think it means? Not much.

Here's what I think you should be saying instead. Did you notice that Russia now has control of the largest nuclear power plant and now can turn down the power. But that shouldn't be a problem because that's what the EU is doing anyway to all the nuclear power plants, wasn't it? Just taking them offline or turning that power down. Have you noticed that there's a problem at the gas pump? Have you noticed that one?

No, I don't. What are you talking about? Just so you're going to be paying, you know, probably $8 a gallon for gas right now. And you're worried about the radiation leak? Huh. You, uh, you, uh, you might want to, you might want to think things through again. Maybe reorder some of your priorities. Oh, all righty.

So, have you decided to take the plunge yet? You're going to sell your home. Move to another one. Okay, deep breaths. Uh, should be deeper than that. Should be. Oh. May I recommend if you are moving, you move to a place where there are lots of farmers?

I'm just saying. And not, not a lot of other people. people. I'm just, you know, I'm just deep breath. Here's a real question. What are you going to do? How are you going to do this? How are you going to sell your house? If it's a good market where you live now, how are you going to sell your house? Where are you going to move to? If you live in a bad place, how are you going to sell your house? Period. You need the best real estate agent you can find, a really good one. He or she is going to help you figure everything out from the selling end to the buying end. It's a complex process. And especially now when housing prices, hey, did you hear

who one of the biggest buyers of banks, I'm sorry, biggest buyers of houses are now? I know I already gave it away. Banks. Banks. Why are banks buying all these houses and paying so much more over price? Why are they, huh? That's weird. It's almost like in the future, we won't own anything. Yeah, which means we rent it from somebody. I wonder who that someone is. Did you hear about it? Real estate agents. I trust.com.

Sign up for the free newsletter today at Glenbeck. Welcome to the Welcome to the Glenn Beck program So how are you doing Stu? What'd you do over the weekend? My house was interesting, but what happened in your house? Well, with all the craziness in the world, sometimes you're thankful.

This was the beginning of my son's baseball season this weekend. So I got to sit at a baseball field and watch him play. That's fun. Went four for six, eight stolen bases, no big deal. And But he was. but he's not with a competitive dad.

No, not at all. Not one that's keeping his stats on a new app. I downloaded to record all of his accomplishments. Not even. You're not thinking about that.

You're not living through him. No, not at all. Not at all. But it's interesting to see that you take, like there are times, obviously,

you're doing all the travel. You're at games all day. You're driving them all over the place and it gets to be a stress. Uh-huh. And you realize how silly that is, I think, in times like this. Yes. There's that thought of,

I heard a guy talking about this at one point where he's saying, like, if you go to the end of your life and you're sitting there at the end of your life and you want to take a time machine to go back at any point, you might very well pick a point like that. You know what I mean? Where you're snuggling with your kid, where you're playing baseball with your kid.

Oh, you are. That's what you're going to pick. And it's, if you're annoyed at it now, try to put that in perspective. At the end of your life, it's very likely you'll pick that type of moment if you had a time machine to go back and experience one last time. Here's what I won't because my daughter is,

you know, she's doing all this acting stuff. Yeah. And so we drive her about 30, 40 minutes to the theater, then drive back, then drive to, then drive back. And she's really good at this too. Yeah, she's very good at it. And we want to support her and everything else.

But, you know, it gets to the point to where, you know, Raph and I look at each other, you know, like, are we ever going to see Mom and Cheyenne again? No. No. Rave, it's just you and me and the dog. That's it. I mean, it's, you know, it gets overwhelming. It gets a little overwhelming. It gets a little overwhelming.

Yeah. You have to walk that line. And I see parents in all these, you know, that are on its team all dealing with it different ways. You know, some kids, some parents are taking them to, you know, 45,000 games a weekend. Some are like, look, you'll pick one thing and we'll do it and we'll support you. But we're not going to be, we're not going to make you into a machine at, you know, 10 years old. Yeah. And it's, it's a tough balance because you want to be supportive.

You want to give them the best chance they can to enjoy what they're doing and all that. But, you know, the bottom line is you still have to be a family and be able to spend time together and and have those moments outside of that structure as well. And what's really weird is we hate carting them around because we want to spend time with them in the house. And they would rather spend the time of us carding them around than sitting in the same room and watch a movie with us or play cards or a game. It's kind of screwed up. It's kind of screwed up because we'll both regret it in the end. So I had an interesting day yesterday with some family members who came to VIII.

visit me, came to visit Uncle Glenn. And Uncle Glenn, when he was asked, so what do you think is coming? Uncle Glenn told them. Uncle Glenn may have made a few tactical errors. And I would like to share some of those errors with you. So perhaps you don't make The same error.

We go there in 60 seconds. They will not be asking Uncle Glenn again. Oh, no. Oh, no. Don't whatever you do. Kids, do not ask him how things are going. All right. Let's talk about trust.

In 1994, Ukraine signed the non-nuclear treaty. By 96. Oh. I bet they kind of regret this. All of the nuclear devices that they had, they gave back to Russia. and then they dismantle all their nuclear processing facilities with the assurance that Russia would never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever invade Ukraine. Oh, see what happens?

Yeah. So who do you trust? When it comes to businesses, I do business with Goldline. Okay, I really got to trust these guys, right? I mean, we're asking them for advice on what to do. I've explained why you need gold a million times, but choosing the right place to get it is just as important. You can trust that 10, 20, 30 years from now, Goldline will not be turning their backs on you. They'll still be in business.

They've been in business for over 50 years, probably about 60 years now. That is kind of odd for someone in the gold selling business. They don't usually last that long. This is one of the reasons why I trust Goldline. You can't be around that long if you're if you're screwing people, if you're not giving them the best deal. Goldline. Call them right now. Find out about their self-directed IRA specials this week and their Glenn Beck specific promotions on orders for physical delivery right to your door.

Don't count on, don't count on goldline. 866 Goldline, 866 Goldline or Goldline.com. So let me tell you. you a completely made up story. A completely hypothetical, a cautionary tale about a man named Tom, who now his family thinks he's a complete lunatic. Tom, let's say, is a loyal listener of this program. He's read the Great Reset. He studied the W.E.F. website. He even tried a built bar. That's Tom. At first he thought, ah, this guy, he's overreacting, collapse of the West, whatever.

Then he started to do his own research. Now Tom is wide awake. And he wants to make sure his family is ready because he feels responsible for their protection. Boy, can anyone relate? Well, his wife, Lacey, might love Tom. but is not really like Tom. Might have been one day before they started pumping out kids. Now they've got three kids under five.

And Lacey, Tom's wife, she's at home with the kids all day. She just wants to have an adult conversation from time to time. She also has an elderly mother. So she's got a lot of responsibility too. She rarely has a moment to breathe. Nonetheless, study ESG score. not high on Lacey's list. The kids were screaming over the radio when Tom years ago said,

you should listen to Glenn Beck. She would just like quiet in the house from time to time. Her mother always forgets to put on her hearing aids and then turns the TV up to, uh, what was it, 10 on the, she is about six million. One day, after listening to my show recently, Tom decided it was time for the family to start preparing. But he knew he and his wife needed to make the decision together. Way to go, Tom.

So last week, Tom decided to approach his wife in the kitchen. She was making lunch. She had a three-year-old that was bumbling and babbling relentlessly under her feet, and she hadn't slept much the night before because the baby kept waking up. They had guests arriving for a weekend stay in less than an hour, but Lacey had spent the morning helping her mother, trying to find her heart medicine, so the house was still a mess, and Tom thought, you know what, now is the right time. I have no time to waste. Tom decided, now is the time to talk to Lacey. The collapse of the West is right around the

corner, Tom bellowed to his wife, to which she replied, you have been listening too much to Glenn Beck. Everything is fine. Tom, stunned, eeked out a series of breathless words, punctuated by rapid and indiscernible arm movements. World Economic Forum. Digital currency. Dugan, the oil. And then he went to the Glenbeck standby. It's a crap. Thoroughly exhausted, Tom collapsed to the floor. staring blankly into space. Lacey looked on in horror. Not now, honey, we have guests arriving. Tom collected himself and scuttled out of the kitchen, cloaked in abject failure and sweat. Okay, this is an example of what not to do. Now, how do I know? Because while I'm not Tom, I was, I, of course, said more than just World Economic Forum, Digital Currency, Dugan, oil, it's all trap.

I said more than that. A lot more. And I'm surprised that some of the family members who don't listen to me all the time, but know that Uncle Glenn kind of knows what's going on. And so they look to me for time to time for an update. I decided to tell them everything. Not a good decision. So let me break it down on the things that Tom and I have both learned. Some rules that maybe you should take when talking to your family about,

it's a crap. Pick the right time. Now, I'm not sure when that. That time is because in a busy household, it never seems to be the right time. But pick the right time. Half asleep? No. Mm-mm.

Mm-mm. In-laws arriving in five minutes, five days, five years? No. Mm-mm. Not the right time. Baby's birthday party. Sure. A classic tale to laugh about years to come.

But have you lost your mind? You need to pick a low stress time where you can really talk. Now, immediately, I think, maybe a romantic weekend. No, no, not a good time. In couples counseling, they teach couples to employ the acronym HALT, HALT, halt. Before you have any serious conversation, halt, and ask yourself a few questions. Is she hungry? Don't do it.

Is she angry? Honey? I got none of the same. Is she lonely? I just want some adult time. Or is she tired? Yeah. If one or more or all of them apply,

wrong time. Wrong time to talk. Now, here's my question. for the counseling. What on earth happened to you this weekend? It was not good. It was not good.

This is an amazing. So you tried to explain to your family the doom we all face in some level of detail. No, no, no. And you picked the wrong time.

No, okay, so they're my family. So I said, they said, what are you doing to prepare? And I told them what I'm doing to prepare. And they all went, really? And I said, yeah, but I mean, it may not happen.

And it may not happen right now. But I think we should all be prepared and start thinking along these lines. Well, they didn't hear the, it may not happen right now. And then they also went home and they saw, you know, the new red phone being put on the desk of the Oval Office and with Putin. And, you know, the fact that, you know, we're at DefCon 2 in Europe. And the other, my favorite was, by the way, we're the State Department. If you're an American citizen in Russia, run for your lives.

Get out right now. Right now. run for your lives. That's probably, that probably notch them up a little bit in the panic scenario. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, no, that's that there's a lot to be worried about right now. So I, so I went to them and said, look, look, look, look, I am sorry because I feel very alone in the family because I don't tell the family, you know, I don't go home and do all this. If they want to listen, they can listen. And there's many things that I believe that I shall never say that I, but I shall never say the things that I do not believe. And so there's lots of things that I don't say because I don't want, you don't want to live in my head.

You do not want to live in my head. It's a very dark and scary place. So, and it causes a problem with me. And I bet as a dad, if you feel the way I do, you might feel this way. you might feel very, very alone because you're like, you know, everyone is depending on me. I'm trying to just to, hey, let's, yes, let's go out and, and, and, and, and just watch the kids play soccer this week. Let's do that because it's kind of, I'm not stressed out or thinking about anything at all. I'm just thinking about, let's have a good time.

Okay, who wants to go to Shakey's Pizza afterwards? I know I do. All right. That's the way I feel like I'm just faking all of the time. Oh, yeah. No, me thinking? What are you thinking, honey? Oh, nothing.

I definitely wasn't thinking about 18 minutes before, you know, missiles would hit here and how we would possibly survive and get out of ground zero. I'm not thinking about that. I'm just nothing. So when somebody says, no, really, Uncle Glenn, tell me. Oh, I was glad to share the bird. not a good idea. So what I said to them is, you know, be prepared. Just be prepared.

Just here's what you need to do. And I didn't tell them this at the time. I told them this yesterday when there was a big conference call with the whole family. And many of them were like, we can never let our, you know, our wives down to your house ever again. you're not allowed to call here. Stop. And so I talked to everybody and I said, look, here's the thing. All of these things are true.

All of these things are true. But you cannot, there's only so much you can do. And the first thing that's going to happen, and I explain this to them that Tony and I, for the last week, we have been trying to make some really big decisions on things. You can't make them all at once. You can't have that big conversation even all at once. You have to break them down into bite sizes. And you'll think like I'm not making any progress because I haven't made any decisions.

All last week, Tanya and I tried to have one conversation about one item on our list. And it is so, it's so, it's hard to think about these things. It's hard to think. there's no oh you know what go to the go to the bookstore um there's got to be a self-help book on what to do you know if your country's about to collapse there's no self-help on that there's nothing there's nothing there are zombie apocalypse self-help yeah and maybe you could follow i mean i might get to a point where i'm like oh zombie is involved eat me now um but uh uh it's hard so you just have to do the best you can and all last

Last week, Tanya and I, we haven't made a decision yet, but we're closer because we had five or six nights of just having honestly five minute conversations before all of it, before both of us were like, I'm exhausted. I can't even think about it. I'm just shut down. It's really hard because it evolves everything, everything. thing. So what you need to do is just the next right thing. And the next right thing would be on the political side, call your state house, your Senate, your House of Representatives, call your governor's office and say no ESG, pass a bill, no ESG. You don't even have to do that if you just if you're just concerned about you, go to the store and every time you buy food. You know this.

This is not doomsday. This is just inflation. Every time you buy something, buy two if you can. And then store the second one. And then when you run out of the first one, don't use the second one. Go to the store and buy two again. And store the second one there. And just keep doing that until you have, I mean, I don't know if you saw this.

Was it Colgate, I think? I don't know. One of the toothpaste, they're saying that it's going to be $10 a tube this summer. $10 a tube for toothpaste. Okay. All right. Wow. Maybe we should buy some toothpaste as well.

Just do the next right thing and start knocking them off. You cannot approach this the way. I mean, I've spent 25 years doing this. I've spent the last 20, almost 18 years just, no, well, actually since September 11th, really, about 20 years just focused on what I think we're entering into now. To bring people up to speed is tough and you don't want to scare them. So don't invite me to any parties because I'll make everyone cry. Okay. There it is. Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

Have you learned to speak Russian or Chinese yet? Yeah, I don't think Russian. Chinese might be a good bet. If this administration has anything to say about it, you know, might be what all the cool kids are doing in the future. The problem with the world in general and America in particular is that is infested with leftism and globalism. Leftist thinking, leftist action. there have been many people, many people that have noticed it for a long time and a lot of us are just kind of waking up going, wait a minute.

How come nobody's standing up for the things that we all used to think were right? There are a few companies that are doing this and you should do business when you can with those people.

So are we being too opaque on what people are supposed to be preparing for? You're just saying on this show? Well, I mean, I think we've. shook all the stragglers long. I think all the people are like, I don't know, man. I listened for five minutes. He was freaking me out. Yeah.

I mean, I just, it's hard. People want to prepare for some terrible consequence or some awful thing that happens or some uncertainty. But to know what and how to prepare, you need to know what the thing is. So the first thing is, I mean, I don't, I mean, I'll go through this. I don't know how to do this in a not Glenn Beck sort of way. Right. The first thing you have to know is it's going to get economically tough.

Then it's going to get economically tougher. Then Glenn should stop talking. Okay. At that point, it's just know that inflation, you ain't seen nothing yet. How's that? Showbiz and jazz hands. Yeah, that was helpful. You ain't seen nothing yet on inflation.

So that's the first thing. Gas, oil, heating. oil. Kind of a problem. Kind of a problem. We're not opening up anything here. This is a problem. Should I go into the Petro Dollar now, or

should I save that later? As much as it sounds, as enticing as it seems, there's only a few seconds. Yeah, so I'll go into the collapse of the Petro Dollar because of oil, but let's not worry about that. And just the coming strife internally,

internally. We are losing our center. So just prepare, be around like-minded people that love God and have a happy attitude. Talk show host, not included.

The Great Reset by Glenn Beck is available in bookstores.

Now you can get the first chapter for free at Glenn's new book. com. Yeah. Hello, you sick, twisted freak. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. What you're seeing happen over in

Russia is the Great Reset and people may cheer for it. Say, look, they can't even watch the opening of Batman this weekend. Yeah. But this has never happened

before in history. And it's not because the Biden administration cobbled all these people together. This is the Great Reset. This is all of these companies deciding that they want to have a high ESG score. And so that's what they're doing. And they are collapsing the economy of Russia. Unfortunately, because we are foolish and we don't look beyond the next step, we are collapsing ourselves as well. We cannot cut off Russian oil without us opening up our own, not oil

reserves, open up our own oil production. We could provide the world with the energy that it needs or a good portion of it, but we won't do it because of global warming. So we're going to these crazy places. And their excuse for this basically, if you're going to take the best face of the administration, their position on this is we're going to, Iran. We're going to Venezuela because we want to limit the damage of whatever is going to happen in Russia. So we need more production. And the reason we don't open it up here is because we don't want this to be a long-term play for more fossil fuel use. We want this to be a short-term price control on the market where we can help the market in this short time when this war is going on. We have all these disruptions. But we don't want.

want to depend for a long period of time on fossil fuels because we think the existential threat, of course, of all of our civilizations is global warming. Yeah, it doesn't make sense, though, that you would go to fossil fuels from Russia, which its oil is dirtier than ours and has, you know, much worse effect on the climate as you're refining it. It wouldn't make sense that you would go to Iran and Venezuela. Why would you go? because now your social justice goes off the charts.

You're going to go fund a country that throws homosexuals off the roofs of buildings. You're going to go to a socialist country that is starving its people while its leader gets rich. I don't think that's a good idea. No, but I think their position on that is it's temporary. We're not going, we're not going to temporarily helping any of these people. Oh, you know, you won't. I'm with you on this, by the way. Yeah, I know, I know.

But temporarily helping people that are throwing gay people off the roof. I don't. Well, that's what I mean, it's not like Russia is much better on that topic. Right. We're already buying it from Russia. Yeah. We should contract, not expand. It's just the only thing that makes sense is if you, if you actually just don't want America to succeed.

Or you don't believe that anyone is for this except a small, handful of people. And so if you give out this ground now, you'll never get it back. I think that's kind of what it is, right? At least partially, it could be. They believe that they have to do, when they have power like this,

jam through every Green New Deal piece of this to lock us in for long-term progress. So then that should, you should ask then, are they truly representatives of the people? Of course not. Right. I mean, if you're if you're willing to collapse us for that. I mean, if you have this, this view of global warming, this apocalyptic view of global warming, where you would rather give money to regimes like Iran and Venezuela, that's just completely insane.

And the Elon Musk position is a much more sensible apocalyptic global warming position, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Where you say, okay, look, we have nuclear power, which is much, much safer. It is, it's the best type of power available for all of these reasons. It's, it lasts forever. Basically, it's, uh, it is completely clean, emission free. All the things, both sides seem to want. Independence plus no emissions.

I mean, it really does hit the sweet spot there. And environmentalists have turned against this for 40, 50 years. It just shows no seriousness. And now we're in this position where we have to. deal with these regimes or we have to violate one of these two sides either not be independent or God forbid light the planet on fire. Well, reason

why we don't want to buy oil from Russia is humanitarian reasons. We don't like what he's doing to people. Sure. Right. That's part of it. That's how they're violating this war, right? Right. Right. I know, but we weren't talking about, you know, not funding

him until he crossed into Ukraine. Right. And so we're all seeing the people in Ukraine and going, oh my gosh, we have to help these people. They want to be free. What about the people that marched and were jailed in Cuba? What about the people who were marched and jailed? Let's be really clear.

In Iran. In Venezuela. You know, and in Venezuela. Why didn't we see them? I think what, you can't, you can't, you can't heal one place by aiding murderers and thugs in another. Generally speaking, though, the situations you're talking about are situations. in which, and we have, by the way, very much isolated Iran before this.

Yeah, not now. Now a sudden we're reversing that. But they're in-country issues, right? The message being sent to Russia here in their argument, their worldview, is this is a line you can't cross. You've crossed a line and we're enforcing a line and doing everything we can to enforce that line. and if it means we have to fall back on some other promises on other things, then that's what we have to do. I mean, because as you know, Glenn,

you're only a few months away from an election in this country in which the Democrats, if they're facing $8 a gallon gas, they're not going to do all that well. They're not going to do well with $2 a gallon gas right now. $8 a gallon gas could be the ultimate wave election that we haven't seen in a century. Right? So it might make the Tea Party election look like it was nothing from 2010. If we're looking at $8 a gallon gas and inflation through the roof,

that's exactly what they could be looking at. This is where some people think, yeah, well, that's why they will bring things down quickly. Because then they'll just cancel elections. If you cancel elections, this is not going to happen. Well, I can't say that. You can't say anything that's not going to happen anymore. Anything could happen. I just don't see that happening.

But I do see a country that is so hungry that is so freaked out by everything that is happening. And the Democrat saying, we'll give you all these free things. Pass our build back better bill and we'll give you all these free things. You think they could be effective after they've overseen this entire thing happening? Might be. I mean, otherwise why? What, I mean, it's, well, it's, it's Putin. It's Putin.

Why? Why would you do this? This makes no sense. Why would you do this? Well, it makes sense to somebody with Putin. Why would you do this? It doesn't, your logic doesn't work here. It doesn't make sense.

What are you doing? So your question, your answer is he's crazy. Or we don't understand what he thinks is rational. Mm-hmm. Okay. the same thing here maybe with the Democratic Party. I mean, I don't know. Why would you do this?

Why wouldn't you open up just for nine months? Just, hey, just we're opening up during this. Why wouldn't you open that up? It would provide relief. It would create jobs. It would put us back into a position where we're leading the world, not following. And I think all of those reasons are the reasons why they're not doing. but what is your end game?

I don't know. How do you win the election? I don't know. Because there's no way. There's no, I don't, I think they're trying to hopefully minimize the harsh impact to the American people so they can not lose not only purple districts, but, you know, light blue districts. Where are they minimizing this? No. Where are you seeing them minimizing?

Going to Iran. Oh. going to Venezuela to try to lower gas prices enough so the shock isn't as bad if we wind up losing Russia. Because we keep talking about, well, we might not buy Russian oil. What if they don't sell it to us? Like, that's how they're funding the war right now. So they're going to continue to do it, we think, for the foreseeable future. What if they decide, you know what, Europe, we're not giving you anything.

We see what you're doing on our borders. We see what you're doing in this war. We see you're sending planes in there. We're not selling it to you anymore. I mean, yes, that would hurt them. Who has whom over the barrel? They both have each other over everything. This is one of those situations that people don't understand.

We hope that both sides walk away from the table with the gun pointed at each other, saying, all right, we're not going to mess with each other, right? Because I can shoot you dead. You can shoot me dead. It's mutually assured destruction. Mad, it's just not with nuclear missiles, although it is with nuclear missiles. the end but you know right now we can both and we both are destroying our own economies we are engaged in mad in madness we are destroying ourselves we're destroying them they're destroying

themselves and us it's madness is there anyone that is an adult in the room that can stand up and go okay, all right, okay. At least in America, if you want to do this, you have to pump your own oil and gas. You must right now. Otherwise, sit down, shut up.

Sit down and shut up. We can't say we are being compassionate to Ukraine if we're destroying ourselves. That doesn't help anybody. Doesn't help anyone in the end. We can't destroy ourselves and we don't have to. It's easy.

just turn the pipelines back on. Just open up the spigots for the natural gas and the oil to flow. And we can help Europe. We can help ourselves. We can help Ukraine. And we can cripple Russia. Isn't that what we want to do? Isn't that what our plan is?

Or is our plan to all of us, none of us, have anything? Just wipe everything out. That doesn't sound like a good plan. But I haven't heard people really. Have you heard people articulate this? I either hear, you know, Putin's not a bad guy or we need to fly our planes in there and cut off his oil. Yeah. It's a weird time because we are, I think, correctly, morally justified in taking a strong position on this.

We are. I think what has happened has been really, really bad. And Vladimir Putin still is mostly to blame for it. You know, this is, that's not to say everyone else in the world is perfect. but this was an unneeded escalation in our world. But I don't think that the American people have been told and had the full conversation on what sort of ramifications are going to come from this. And I'm still talking to people who are like, oh, you know, I'm not really interested.

It's over there. It's way over there. Yeah, not so much. It's going to affect us in a major way. It obviously already is at the pumps. That's just the first sign, though. And if this thing goes on, and, you know, like, Vladimir Putin's not the type of guy who's going to say, yeah, you guys ruined our economy. Let me go back to our own borders.

You guys keep, you know what, take Crimea back too. That may have been too much of an overreach for us. He's not that kind of guy. He's not going to, he's not going to back off and say, ah, this is a mistake. I'm sorry. Here's the reason why Donald Trump didn't say anything about Putin while they were together. Okay. and Putin didn't say anything bad about Trump

because at least Trump has told me at a deal, you don't embarrass me, I won't embarrass you. Now that doesn't be on policy. That's just don't you dare target me personally or I will target you personally in the war of words. Yeah. And people forget that Trump's policies, not words, but policies on Russia were very strong,

the strongest. Much stronger than Obama's or Bidens. And he also said to, Putin, you take Ukraine, those beautiful onion domes there in Moscow, I blow them up. Oh, the gold turrets. Yeah, I mean, and that is important in a guy like Vladimir Putin. You have to speak his language or he does not respect you. If COVID wasn't bad enough, now you have to be on the lookout for fake, unregulated pop-up COVID testing sites. Is anybody still doing that, really, honestly? Did you see the Senate voted against

the said it's time to get rid of the end the state of emergency state of emergency nothing better than that in new york city they're getting rid of the vaccine mandates for indoor dining and all of that great it's going the right way it's going the right way uh it won't in the house but get your house members especially democrats call your house members tell them to end this emergency you do not want these emergencies laying on the books anyway um identity theft right now identity theft is a problem and it's not not one that you, A, have to worry about or, or should worry about if you have things covered.

Because, you know, the problem is, is the good guys we have, so many people will think, oh, well, they're set. They're set. And in this case, it's Mike Lee. It's exactly what I said when you brought it up to me this morning. Mike Lee isn't going to lose in Utah. Oh, yeah.
