Entertainment in the Glenback. You know, there's two women that I'm going to start talking about today on this hour's broadcast. One is Jean-Pierre. Jean-Pierre, who is beautiful and yet one of the dumbest people on the planet. No talent for what she does. No talent. No talent. Okay?

Then I also want to talk about Lizzo, who's a fat monster. However, I learned something yesterday. She has talent. I can't wait. It's a confusing, confusing hour. We begin in 60 seconds. Yeah, fat monster. Okay.

If you've ever moved before, you know the process of buying is selling homes. Is that going to be a problem, Stu? Is that what you were thinking? I believe she's referred to herself as a fat black woman. So, now, she can't call herself a fat monster. I can't define a woman. So, you just... I just went with monster.

Okay. I just went with monster. Anyway, no matter how you slice it. A fat floutist. Would be... Monster. Okay. Monster. Anyway, if you're looking for a real estate agent, you want a great one. And my company,

real estate agents, I trust, has found them for you. Now, I want you to do your own homework. I want you to talk to these people, question them, ask them about how is it you're going to sell my house faster than somebody else? What is it that you're bringing to the table? What is it that you have that are these business expertise that Glenn Beck has been talking about. How are you going to sell my house? Tell me about your website.

Do your own questioning. Make sure you feel good about this person. But we have already vetted them for a multi-day interview that these guys have to go through. And they're all fans of the show, generally speaking, we monitor them all the time, and this is a free service to you. Real Estate AgentsITrust.com. Find the right one. Real estate agentsitrust.com. So if she is, what are you? What would you call yourself? Oh, I'm a Hila monster. I'm a fat Hila monster. You're worse. Yeah, but I'm at least, but at least I recognize it. Okay. I think she recognizes it too.

I don't know that she, again, would call herself a monster, but I think she has she recognized as. seen herself in leotards? Has she seen herself in leotards? I would, but the fact that she continues to wear them, I would, I would say probably not. I mean, look, if I was walking around in leotards, okay, even if I was just walking around on stage in leotards, people would, people would A, not pay to come and see me. And they would call you terrible, terrible things, okay? And they'd be right. Yeah. Now, I wear several layers of clothing because I don't want any of my body actually showing because people will have the same feeling that I have every morning.

You know? Right. Right. You're like, oh boy. Sad that I nodded along with that one. Yeah, you know, it's true. I know it's true. Sure, sure. But there's something in Lizzo who's like,

this is beautiful. No, it's not. It's very unhealthy and very unattractive. Okay? fat monster. And that's just your preference and that you can't be criticized for it. That's your preference.

Thank you. That's my truth. Your orientation. That's my truth. You don't like, you don't like Lizzo looking. Okay. Now look at, now I want to say something really clearly because I saw this video of her playing

James Madison's 200-year-old crystal flute. And I saw her play it on. stage. And a couple of things came to mind. Wow. The people at the National Archives. Lizzo, hey, want to play this cool crystal flute? Can you imagine? They fired the guy who was running the Lincoln Library for bringing the Gettysburg address here so people could see it. They fired that guy. Okay. It was secure. All kinds are gone. The guy is, it was huge to museums. Started, I think two presidential museums, ran the Reagan Museum, ran the Lincoln Museum, ran the Lincoln

Museum, started the Bush Museum. The guy had real credibility. I don't know what he's doing, probably working for slurpy, you know, pouring slurpees out and not hired by 7-Eleven. Of course, he probably couldn't get a job there because he allowed Glenn Beck's listeners to see the Gettysburg Address. And now you have the, you have the national archive saying, hey, you want to play this flute on stage? Okay, so this is the video I saw. If you're watching, I'm just preparing, oh my gosh, just look at the picture.

Just show the frozen frame of the video, please. Look at that. Take it full frame, please. Beautiful. Look at that. Absolutely beautiful. She's a big fat monster. Okay?

That should not be... Who sees that and thinks that is beautiful and healthy? Who? Who? No, she's... Look, it's obviously not healthy. Not healthy at all. I'm sure some people...

There are some people who think that's the hot. thing in the world. Yeah, whatever. Whatever, to each his own. Whatever. However, I'm more strong on this than I would have ever been in my life because everybody's like, fat is beautiful. Stop shaming fat people.

As a fat person, I don't trust the person that says, Glenn, keep on pounding it on, man. You want another bowl of ice cream? They want to kill me. My family, my friends, they're all like, dude, lose a few LBs, okay? you're starting to look a little tubby and how's your ticker okay i know drop dead bad i know it got it so i'm not out going how dare you say my truth is that i'll live forever as a fat monster no no so i'm a little more harsh on lizzo than i probably should but please okay get back the flute because this is the important part.

So here she is on stage. I want to play this video and listen to the audio. She's on stage in Washington, D.C. in almost a transparent leotard, which is just hideous. Roll it.

She plays one note. And then she plays another note and she twerks. Oh my gosh. Seeing her fat jiggle like a giant bowl of Jello. Okay.

We just made history tonight. Yeah. Okay. That is just stop. That is just wrong on so many levels. Wrong on so many levels. Now, wait a minute. Yeah.

Here is Lizzo doing something that is absolutely appropriate. She is at the National Archives. She's wearing a set of pants. Now, she does have her giant sweatshirt rolled up so you see the big. blob of fat there, which is not a good look, but to each his own, she is dressed respectfully and she's at the National Archives. And she doesn't play one note. Listen to her play this flute. She can actually play the flute. She, listen this. Would you have expected that? No, that's great. Okay, that's James Madison's crystal flute. I salute the archives for that. I salute her for

that. If she would have done that on stage, I mean, put a skirt on for the love of Pete. But if she would have done that without the twerking, I think her audience would have actually enjoyed that. They would have actually went, holy cow, this woman can rock a flute. Great. My problem is, if I asked for, I don't know, Teddy Roosevelt snare drum, just to be brought someplace, the person, and I know this to be a fact, would be fired. Okay? I mean, look, we're on the verge of potential nuclear war. Oh, no, there's bigger things.

It's being wiped off the map today. There's certainly bigger things than the Lizzo thing, but you're right. As a conservative, be more specific. There is nothing bigger than the Lizzo thing, okay? The Lizzo story, perhaps. Lizzo thing? Nope. Nope. People, people. I would say, you know, look, it's not the biggest

issue in the world, but it is, you're totally right in that like, conservatives, they get blown out of their lifelong careers. I can guarantee you, because I did this once. I went to the National Archives right before restoring honor, and they were very kind to me, and they were great, and they opened up

the vault, and I asked to see things, and they showed them to me and it was fantastic. I guarantee you if I went to Washington today and asked for the archives and just said, you know, I want to see, I don't know, something random, all the documents that came from Trump's Marlago, they would not allow me to do it.

They would not allow me to see them. Yes, they would. If Lizzo wanted to see the documents directly for Mar-a-Lago, she could see them. If she wanted to give those documents a golden shower on the stage, I think. Can any worse? Just saying.

I keep giving you opportunities not to escalate this. A war with whizzo? Who's whizzo? The one that was peeing on the documents. So anyway. Now let me go. Let me take this to another person. Okay?

Another person. Who's beautiful? Who's beautiful? Now that is my, that's my opinion. You may not find her beautiful. I think all of us, I should say, 99% of us do not look at Lizzo in a leotard to go, you know what I mean? That revs my engine.

Unless, I don't know, you by choice, live in an ice cream truck. That ain't doing it for you. Living in an ice cream truck does it for me. It does it for me. Yes, but not with Lizzo. Yeah, okay. You know, if you're living in an ice cream truck, it's either Lizzo or children, really. I mean, you have got a problem.

You got a problem. I hope that. There is a love of ice cream that might make you want to move into an ice cream truck, not necessarily lure children. I don't know why your brain went there. Well, are you watching the Dommers series right now? How dare you bring that up?

Don't you dare link that to LGBT? Don't you dare do it. But he was. Don't. Don't even say it. I mean, I wasn't linking that, but that is true. How dare you? I mean, it would be normally under that category on Netflix.

How dare you? So we're supposed to deny. the bad people that are in this group, but celebrate the good people? Yes. That's the, okay. I mean, sure. We have to take Hitler as white, straight people.

We got Hitler. As America's only conservative vegetarian, I constantly have to answer as to why Hitler was a vegetarian and so am I. Why do I have to take responsibility for Hitler? I never asked for that. And yet, for some reason, we're constantly, I am so close to. We have to deal with every straight person that does something wrong is always ours.

You're telling me you don't get dommer. You get one. You got one guy. Take the one crappy guy. One guy. One guy. You got one guy who ate some people. You're going to have to take it.

You don't how many straight cannibals there are? Take your one. Take your one. If every single thing that has ever been done positively by someone in the LGBTQIA2 plus community is going to be celebrated with a Netflix show, You got to take the one bad guy too. You got to take him. He's your guy on this one.

Grow a set Netflix. Not your fault. No one's saying because he was LGBQQI82 plus, he also ate people. But he was LGBTQIA2 plus. I would be with you. If that was the point that gay people just are attracted to eating people, I would stand with you. But that's not the point. It's not the point.

Although I would like to point out. But I think this is a German thing. a gay thing. There's a few you know guys who are eating people in Germany. I mean, recent, not in the old days. Dusty, those things don't even matter anymore. Why you look back in the past

like that? There's some people who are like, hey, I'm looking for a guy that maybe likes to, maybe I could feast on. Knock, knock ding dong. Hi. Yum, I'm going to boil heads. And you have to have that guy because

you're German. So you already own that guy. You need to share some of the ownership of the terrible Nazis. Wait, no, but that guy wasn't a Nazi. Oh, you're saying the, oh, you're saying the later on. Well, he was German. Yeah. But there was also a lot of that sort of stuff that went on in the

Nazi era as well. Why must you always dwell? Why always make it about me, Stu? That's not what this show is about. Let me tell you about our sponsor this F hour. It's tunnel to towers. There are landmark moments in American history. And we have lived through

several of them. We are living in historic times right now. Please keep a diary. Please keep a diary. That's a piece of advice I give you all the time that I don't do myself. I don't do myself. This show is my diary. That's what I tell myself so I can sleep at night. Anyway, September 11th was one of those days. Almost 3,000 people lost their lives due to terrorist attacks. And there was one family that said, you know what, we're going to honor all of those people that died trying to save the people in the towers. So when a first responder or military service member doesn't come home and young children are left behind, tunnel to towers pays off the mortgage to lift the financial burden to bring the family to stability. If we want the government to do less, we have to do more.

And it's good. It feels good. In a world filled with darkness, the tunnel to towers found will help you bring light. Help these heroes and their families join tunnel to towers on its mission to do good in their honor. Donate $11 $11 a month for 9-11. $11 a month at T2T.org. That's T, the number two t.org. 10 seconds, station ID.

Oh, why? Why? What the hell my phone? Probably in a folder your fat. I'm supposed to get home. I don't know how you. post to get home. She should have played that on the flute.

Then people would have been able to unite behind her artistry. Man. Okay. So the next one is Jean-Pierre. Jean-Pierre. Oh, yeah, you were getting to someone you said was also attractive. She's attractive and dumb as a boxer rocks. She's dumb as a boxer rocks.

There's no doubt about that. She is, I think, very good looking. I do too. How much money are we spending on her wardrobe? Give me over under. Corinne Jean-Pierre's wardrobe and Ukraine. Which have we spent more money on? I would like to know.

She's wearing something new and very fancy and very colorful and very nice every single day. I've never seen to wear two things that are the same. Every day she's out there. We should ask. Who's paying for her wardrobe? She's your employee. She's my employee. She works for us.

Like she is a, this is not a campaign role. This is a taxpayer role. It's designed to inform the American people. It is not designed to defend the president. It is a travesty that that's what it's turned into. But like, Glenn, like, in all seriousness, remember when Sarah Palin got like criticized because she had like three new outfits they bought for her for the campaign? Yeah.

And everyone freaked out. She may not be paid for this. She may have bought these herself. She may have. I would like to know the answer to it. Because if it's, if. So, she may just be, she may have won the lottery nine straight times. Maybe that's how she's affording it. Are there not bigger stories? Your clothes, weirdo. How much is, how much is she,

are we spending on this? How much is she spending on it? If it's just hers. These are not, thousands of dollars. This is not T.J. Max stuff. Thousands of dollars. Well, it could be T.J. Max stuff, but she'd have to be there all the time. Um, which might explain how she's so bad at her job. Maybe she's at T.J. Max all the time. Okay. So anyway, so she yesterday is trying to explain, and I swear to you, I don't mind somebody having notes. I don't mind somebody having a book of notes for your answers. But can you look up from the book? I swear to you, I think she's so ashamed of some of the answers she has to give that she just can't look up.

She just can't look people in the eye. but she is trying to answer why Joe Biden called on a dead woman. Do we have the Joe Biden where he is calling for a woman who just died, a congresswoman who was just in a car accident and died? Listen to this. And so many of you know so much about this as well and you're committed. And I want to thank all of you here for including bipartisan elect officials like Representative Governer, Senator Braun, Senator Booker, Representative Jackie, are you here?

Where's Jackie? I didn't think she was going to be here. To help make this. Yes, she was if she wasn't in a car wreck and you made a big deal out of it. Okay. When you hear, I'm going to play KJP here in a second. When you hear her explanation, it is so unbelievable. there was a almost, almost, it was chaos in the press room.

People would not let it go because it's so ridiculous. And I just want to tell you, this is real. This stuff, your president is out of control and this is real. It's actually happening. The Glenn Back Program. How many companies do you do business with every day? simply because there's just not a better alternative available. The answer is probably more than you even know.

Wokeness has its fingers wrapped tightly around the throat of commerce these days, and far too many big corporations out there have sold out. If you have Verizon, for example, what you don't know, what they do with their money, is their choice, okay? If you want to go ahead and help plan parenthood, that's your choice. My choice is to not do business with you. Patriot Mobile shares, your values. They will not send your hard-earned money to kill babies. They work for

conservative causes, not against them. Now, their priority is giving you the same nationwide service, doing it with an affordable plan that will fit your budget, excellent coverage, top-not a U.S.-based customer service, and they're working with you. They don't despise you. They don't despise your values. Switch today. PatriotMobil.com.com. We need a parallel economy, and they are leading the way on that. Patriotmobile.com slash Beck or

Hello, Glenn. We're just starting to talk about, Jean-Bierre. Oh, yeah. And her brilliant explanation. Oh, so good. Of a tough moment from the president. So the president was giving a speech and he talked about, you know, people that were

working on this bill and Jackie Wollarski was one of them. She's passed away, tragically, in a really horrible car accident. It was a big story. The president, you know, talked about her, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, meeting with the family on Friday. However, when he's given the speech, he says this. And so many of you know so much about this as well, and you're committed. And I want to thank all of you here for including bipartisan elected officials like Representative Governor, Senator Braun, Senator Booker, Representative Jackie, are you here?

Where's Jackie? I think she wasn't going to be here. I think she's helped make this. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. That's incredible. Now, this is why this is important. To all Americans, this should be very, very important.

That is a take the keys away from Grandpa. Maybe it's time for Grandpa to stay home and just enjoy the rest of his life. But Grandpa has no clue as to what he's talking about. This is a terrifying moment. We are on the verge of World War. three. And this guy's in charge. And this guy's in charge.

I think this is the clearest moment of dementia since this all began, what, three years ago, ish. Because there's no explanation for it. I mean, you know, they always give the, well, he was a stutterer. It's, you don't make fun of it, stuttering. He's not stuttering. That's not what that is. No. But that's the excuse they use.

There's no excuse for this. Yeah. To add on to your point here, Pat. look, we're conservatives. We're a conservative show. We like to make fun of Democrats often when they make dumb mistakes, right? Like, okay. This is not.

Dangerous. Barack Obama 57 states. Right. That is not what this is. This is real. This is not conservatives, having a good time, trying to bash a guy. This is a guy who is gone. He should not be in office doing this job.

This is, I mean, this is example number of thousand of them. And some of them, there's been a couple here and there that any average person could make. I know of no one. He released a statement specifically about her death. He's going to see the family. Tomorrow. He's at an event where surely at some point someone said, now, of course, the late Jackie Valera or whatever her name is.

Volorski. Volorski is not, you know, worked hard on this and we want to give her credit for it. And here's what, may I give you, may I give you an explanation, but it does not explain away why he would. would do it, but it would explain why he made a comment. If I don't, if I am afraid of pronunciation of a name, I will often times just to avoid it, say, and, and Stu, and I'll see Bregear on the teleprompter, and I know I can say it, but I'm afraid I'm going to botch it. So I'll go, and Stu, Stu, Stu is here. Where are you, Stu?

Right. is here. And so I deflect. Yes. I think that's what he did. He was deflecting because he saw the name, probably knew it. Maybe not. No, I don't think he did.

Yeah. And had no idea what he was even talking about. Okay. Possible, but he should still know that she's not a lot. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's saying to me that he's checked out just reading a teleprompter,

not engaged at all with what's going on, forgets that she's dead. Okay, that's a really bad problem. If I were, you know, talking about my mom, and thanks to Pat for bringing this up, my mother passed away in a very tragic way when I was young. Do you have to continually harp on it? My gosh, it hurts deeply, Pat.

But where is she right now? I don't know. So if I was giving it. here in this room? No, she shouldn't be. And if I was talking about my mom and I was like, hey, is my mom called? You would all say, what the hell is wrong with you, Glenn? Right. You know, well, she was on the top of my mind. And you thought she would call? That's scary. It would be scary. I think like there's a theoretical argument here. Let me give you another potential explanation for this. And it's not good. But he knew nothing about this happening at the time.

They released a statement in his name that he didn't even approve or know about, right? He goes to this thing. He's just reading the teleprompter. He has no awareness of who this person is or that she died and just looks around as, oh, Jackie, you're there. And maybe because of the pronunciation is why he said, is she here. It's a U.S. congressman, you would think he would know she died. I know, especially because, no, I think this is, I think Stu may be right. He is so checked out that they don't update him.

They just continually release things. They may have updated him at the time. but like he's not going to remember something from several months ago. I mean, he can't remember something from several minutes ago. Right. And I think like there's a, like let's just say this was Ron DeSantis.

Okay. Ron DeSantis is doing a press conference. He comes out and he says, Jackie, are you here? And she's been dead for three months. And he really, again, if this happened to someone who no one believed was losing it,

no one thinks Ron DeSantis is on the verge of dementia, right? In theory, look, he's a busy guy. he lost track of who this person is, he just forgot about it. But they wouldn't come out and say she was on top of mind. He would come out and say, Oh my gosh,

I can't believe I did it. I'm such an idiot. I'm such an idiot. I got confused at the wrong person and I totally forgot. You know, it's inexcusable and I apologize. And for someone you believed was competent,

you'd say, that's a really bad mistake. You look like an idiot, but what are you going to do? And they would admit. They can't say that. The White House can't say it because everyone already believes he's gone mentally.

So if they say he's confused or forgot about someone dying, it's going to be yet another big piece of information that he's gone. Which brings you to KJP. Somebody who is, I just don't think she believes what she's saying. Even if she knows what she's saying, and that may just be, she may be dumb as a box of rock. She's horrible at her job. But all of the people in the White House had a session,

all the best PR minds in the White House, all got together and said, what do we say about this? And they came up with this excuse. Cut one. Florida, that is the focus and that's going to continue to be the focus these next couple of days. What happened in the hunger event today? The president appeared to look around the room for an audience member, a member of Congress who passed away last month. He seemed to indicate she might be in the room.

So the president was, as you all know, you guys were watching today's event, a very important event on food and security. The president was naming the congressional champions on this issue and was acknowledging her incredible work. He had a plan to welcome the Congresswoman's family to the White House on Friday. There will be a bill signing in her honor this coming Friday. So, of course, she was on his mind. She was of top of mind for the president. He looks very much, looks forward to discussing her room. That is ridiculous.

And we all know it's ridiculous. And America, wake up. This is not some right-wing conservative that's saying, oh, we're in trouble, we're in trouble. And there's no evidence of trouble. You know, Glenn's just saying that this could happen. This is happening. We are on the verge of World War III, and we have a president who is not cognitively engaged at all times. Okay? We have no idea how engaged he is. We know he has incredible lapses. We don't know if he's actually in charge or if someone else is in charge. This is extraordinarily dangerous. And even the press room didn't accept this. Listen to this. And she was on top of mine. I mean, I don't, that is, I mean, that is, that is not an unusual scenario there.

I have John Lennon top of mind just about every day, but I'm not looking around for him anyway. When you sign a bill for John Lennon as president, then we can have this conversation. Okay, go ahead. What? The frequency, the moment's in confusion are happening with your reason. Go ahead. Excuse me. Americans are watching this and are happening.

What do you say to that? This is a legitimate question. We need to have some answer. At the end of the year, what can you tell us about that? I'm sorry, somebody was yelling over you. over you, so go ahead. There are reports that Secretary Yellam is looking to leave the industry. It is not your

term to speak and you're being rude to your colleagues and let your colleague answer the question. Go ahead. No, you're yelling and over your colleague. So that is incredibly rude. Oh, is that the rude thing that's happening here? Go ahead. There are reports to Treasury

Secretary Yellam is looking to leave the administration at the end of the year. So incredible. Okay. It's incredible. All right. So this, the woman who, uh, the woman who was speaking out there was Kimberly Halkat. And she is from Al Jazeera. So Al Jazeera. Not exactly Fox News.

No, not exactly Fox News. And I mean, it's always the foreign press. Yeah. It's either Peter Ducey or the foreign press that is saying, you know, there's something deeply wrong here. And she points out that it's been happening frequently. She's trying to yell that. More frequently.

Can you give us a real answer on what's going on here? Do you know who did the John Lennon line? Because that wasn't Ducey or I don't know who that was. I don't know who that was. Again, like, I mean, look, this is not, this, this, you know, we make fun of Barack Obama for 57 states, right? That's a conservative thing. We're having fun. This is something that not only conservatives or independents understand, the left understands it.

And in fact, in the halls of the White House right now, they should be having conversations among themselves about the 20. 25th Amendment. Yes, they should. You might not just conversations. They should be enacting it right now. But they're also arrogant. They think they don't need him. It's the same thing with John Federman.

They don't care. They can't think anymore. They're not looking for someone. Yes. Yes. Diane Feinstein. We on election night, we have to come up with, you know, all of the people that have been accused of horrible things that are running, that the press has never brought up.

and the people who have checked out mentally. And that could be, honestly, that could be the vice president. She's just a moron. Yeah. Just a moron. She said this morning that we have a very close ally in North Korea. Mm-hmm. That we have.

Uh-huh. Yeah. So they don't care. They're not, these people are not being chosen to run. They're being chosen to just go along. Yeah. And it's extraordinarily dangerous. There is no check and balance when you don't know who's actually making the decisions.

And I don't mean to. I shouldn't mess this. I shouldn't cross these streams here. The Kamala Harris thing with North Korea is like 57 states. Yeah. It's similar to that. It's funny. I like making fun of her of her because she's a dope.

But like that is not a serious issue. A serious issue. If she were president of the United States, that wouldn't be. But the fact that she is just. as not as intelligent as you would. She's as a bathroom ballbrush. If she was even half as intelligent as a bathroom bulbrush, she'd give her the benefit of the doubt.

She's just not connecting dots. But he's not connecting dots because he is slipping into darkness. And everyone in the media and everyone on the left and everyone in the White House, they all know it too. It's not just us. They all know it. Yesterday was the straw that broke the camel's back.

to reveal it to everybody, right? Democrats, Republicans, independents, communists, I don't care who you are. Now you know that what we've been saying for the last two and a half years is true. The guy is definitely out to lunch and he's not coming home for dinner.

Yeah. So. And I think the only way the left is actually going to admit this and the media is going to admit it is if they decide they want someone else to be the candidate in 2024. At some point, for example, if they were to get, you know, beat up really badly

in this 2022, election and they decided, holy crap, this is going really badly. We're going into a recession. 2024 is going to be a catastrophe if we keep this guy on the ticket. Then they'll all of a sudden start to admit what all of us know that this guy cannot do this job and he's out to lunch and not coming home for dinner. And at that point, then the rumors can start. Then the leaks can come to the New York Times. Then the Washington Post and the styles section will have some fascinating story that doesn't seem to make sense in the styles section that points out that everyone in the White House knows that he's long gone and they're all talking about a change behind the scenes.

And eventually we can have Joe come out and say he's having health issues and he's stepping down. That's the only way they'll ever admit this is going on. Correct. When they decide it benefits them. That's how this works. They don't mind it now. They really don't mind it. They have the power.

They get to run the whole fantasy league with the country. Exactly right. They're all sitting back there with none of the responsibility making all the decisions. Yep. and I will not be lectured by these people that I am anti-government or anti-constitution. All I'm asking is for our government to read and execute the Constitution as written. Read it, learn it, use it. It will come against me sometimes.

It'll come against you sometimes. I'm fine with that. But use the Constitution and don't you dare say I'm anti-government or anti-America or anti-constitution. This guy should not be in office.

But mutual funds, your IRAs, your retirement funds, corporate equity, all of this, have lost $42 trillion. They have fallen $42 trillion at the start of the year. we now have $6.1 trillion has been lost from March 22 to the end of June, and the current total wealth losses from the stock market alone are now between $9.5 trillion and $10 trillion. So you may not realize it because you just have your money in the stock market, and you're not really doing it, it's just in a 401k IRA, whatever.

but we've all lost a lot of money. So what do you do to protect? What do you do? 60 seconds, we'll pick it up there. So, you know, I don't know what you've heard, but the truth is I'm hip to what all the cool kids are doing. That's right. I have a what's called a cellular telephone now.

All righty. So, Glenn, you had the big special last night on the economy. And I find it to be a really fascinating situation right now. Let me give you just a couple of stats that I've seen. Yeah. The pending home sales in the United States, down 22.5% year over year. That's as low as the 2008 financial crisis and almost as low as the COVID collapse, which you might remember, we basically shut.

down the entire world in March and April of 2020. Yeah, so nobody was really buying houses at that time because you couldn't leave your house. Couldn't leave your house, right? So it's just, it's a little better than that. A little better than that. Little better than closing every business, every bank, every real estate office, all transactions stop. It's a little better than that.

Okay. Liquidity conditions in the U.S. Treasury market. This is measured by Bloomberg. it is as bad as March 2020, basically. As bad as March 2020. Then you have this situation, which I find to be fascinating. If you want to pay $2,500 a month on your mortgage, okay, $2,500 a month with 20% down, typical sort of situation you might be going to buy a new home.

As of a year ago, you could afford a house that was, $759,000 with that outcome. 20% down, $2,500 a month. $759,000 a year ago. Now it's $476,000 because of all of the

interest rate changes, all the inflation and all of that. Now, at the same time, almost every currency in the globe is going through the basement floor and the U.S. dollar is the only one that

She's showing any strength. So how do you look at all of that and come up with some grand unifying theory as to what is going on? The central banks are destroying everything. They're destroying everything. They all got bailed out. You know, and I don't, I don't, I don't, I'm not qualified, nor do I feel appropriately equipped to talk about, you know, liquidity in the bond market. That's something that can be saved for CNBC.

It just means that those people who are in the stock game, the liquidity is very low, meaning there's not a lot of excess money slashing or sloshing around. So if things go down, there's no money there to be able to bail things out. Okay. That is the central bank. What they've been doing, they've been printing. money. So there's still plenty of money. Okay. So that means that you're going to have to start printing money. That's what happened yesterday in England. The union pensions all went under. Okay.

It's just folded up. There's no way we can we can pay for any of these pensions. Fold it up. And so the Bank of England, who just swore, we're not printing any more money. Inflation is already out of control. They said, except for now, we're printing money. And they just started printing money like there's no tomorrow. So the bond market, the stock exchange over there, went up. Why? Because the people who are playing the game and getting the money from the central bank, they're like, okay, great, they're printing money again, plenty of money. I'm going to make some more money here. I'm going to put it back into the stock market and I'll make money and then I'll pull it out. This is a game that does not end. You cannot get out of this. This is something

I've been warning about since 2008. And they're not going to tell you. I'm going to attach a name to something because I really respect this guy. And I would never have expected him to say something like this. But he really believes. And so I'm attaching a name because I think he's a good guy. And it just shows if the good guys are thinking like this, what are the nefarious ones thinking? I was on Neil Cavuto 2007. And I laid the case out that we were going to have a collapse. And he pushed back and pushed back. And I have no problem if people disagree.

In fact, I said, Neil, if you disagree, please, I want to know where I'm wrong. I want to be wrong on this. just doesn't look like I'm wrong. We finished, and Neil, who again, I believe is truly a good guy, he looked at me and, sorry, he didn't look at me. I got up from the table. I said, thank you, Neil. That was good.

And he said, you're the most irresponsible broadcaster I have ever met. And I said, and that was crushing to me because I like Neil. And I said, what? and I said, what do you, what did I get wrong? Why didn't you say what I got wrong? Because I want to know. And he said, no, you're not wrong. We just don't say those things.

That causes panic. And panic causes things to get worse. And I, my point of view was no, by not telling the American people, What is possibly coming causes even more panic when it comes. The reason why I say this, and I've attached his name to it for the first time, is because I respect Neil. I think he's a good guy. And there are honest people who have honest differences on what to say and how to react.

But you have an administration now. and a media that is doing nothing. They're doing nothing but lying to you. And everybody knows this is a train wreck. So yesterday, the British pound almost collapsed. Why is the dollar going up? Because the euro is going down. Because the British pound is going down.

Everybody's on the verge of collapse. America is the strongest place to put your money. Now, let me ask you this. You have to put your product in a store and you're responsible for everything that is sold, damaged, or lost. Where are you going to put your product in a CVS, in a part of town that is just getting ransacked every day?

You're going to put it in downtown San Francisco where people go in and take the product and just walk away with it. Are you going to put your money there? Or are you going to put your money in a place where it may not happen, but it is happening, but just not at that rate yet? you of course put your product there and stop putting your product in San Francisco, correct? Doesn't that seem logical? That's what's happening to the dollar.

It's not that we're strong. It's just that we're the last one to go. And as I've had this argument with people, I've always explained it as the floatiest piece of poop in the toilet pole, because maybe it will get people's attention. That all has to be flushed. Okay, it is not going to last. It's not going to last. But people with lots of money, institutions, you know, funds that are investing for other people,

where are you going to put your money? Where are you going to put it? Tell me the country that is stable. Tell me the country that isn't on the verge of collapse. Tell me the country that didn't play the game. of printing money so they could spend more money. Tell me the country. You can't.

There is no country. Did you see the video of China blowing up their ghost cities? You seen this? They're taking the parts of the ghost cities where they hadn't finished them. And I mean 25 skyscrapers. They looked finished. They're not finished on the inside. 25 of them.

taking them all down at once. Boom, blowing them up. They're all coming down at once. It looks like the finale of Fight Club is what it looks like to me. It's crazy, isn't it? They're destroying because they can't let them sit there empty. So they blow them up and destroy because that never worked. What they were doing was printing money that they didn't have to keep everybody employed

and build these ghost cities. Now what? Now what? So you have to start thinking in a way that you've never had to think before. And this is a global thing. If people in England, and I doubt they are because they don't have talk radio, they have the BBC. And if you think I was on NPR and would be allowed to have this conversation, you're fooling yourself. So try to get someone on the BBC to say this.

They won't. If you're in England and you think that it's going to go well, it's not. And it has nothing to do with the new tax proposal. The new tax proposal lowered corporate rates by 1%. One percent. that's not going to cause an economic collapse. Okay? That will actually spur things on.

Not very much because it's only a 1% cut. It's no big deal. The other cuts were already in the plans. They were already coming. Were they not? Yeah, there was a tax cut for the average person. It was like 20% to 19%. The highest income bracket,

I think went from 45 to 40. Okay. They say the difference here is $5 billion. this is the panicky thing. You know, these estimates, $5 billion of tax revenue per year, which of course is nothing compared to what they spent on COVID and is basically what they've already spent on Ukraine this year.

Not us, but them, the UK spent. So don't send what you were going to send to Ukraine. Or just stop spending all the money on COVID, which you should be doing anyway. Right. And you've saved all that money. You've done it in a year. Save all that money.

It's a miracle. What's happening is the banks, the central banks, have played the game. We are now coming to the end of that game. So now what do you do? I'm not going to talk at all about stocks or bonds or any of that crap that you'll find on CNBC. They know more than I do, I'm sure. But let me tell you, for anybody who's not a big investor, what do you do next? Going about your business online every day is a little like playing a game of chess where the stakes are everything you own and you can't see the moves the other guy is making.

It's really important that we understand cybercrime and how it changes every single day and what their goals are. You have whole countries. I mean, why do you think TikTok?

All right, so what do you do?

What do you do? I don't know what people are going to need. I just know people are going to be in need. So if we want to be a blessing to others, the best thing, and yourself, the best thing you can own is food, water, natural gas or, you know, propane, anything that are essential tooth-paced, toilet paper. we are going to see real shortages. And that is going to be coupled with a stagflation kind of market where people are losing their jobs. We're not growing at all. And people don't know what to do.

You have to think like a German Jew of the 1930s. You have to start thinking that way. You have to start thinking just like a German, In hyperinflation, if you read any of the diaries of these people that live back then, they said, no one knew what hyperinflation even meant a week ago. Now it's all that people can talk about. You have a chance, as we outlined on the special last night, there is a chance we turn into Venezuela. And that happens overnight.

That is not how does somebody go broke? How does somebody go bankrupt? over a long period of time and then all at once. You made decisions all the way along and you push it off, push it off, push it off, push it off, push it off, then the straw that breaks the camel's back, whatever it is, it breaks, and you are out. That's the way it will happen here. Hopefully it doesn't happen. And I can't tell you for sure what to invest in, what to put your money in. I know food will never go out of style. But will food be called hoarding?

Well, it was in Germany. Art. Art. But how long does it take before? Because there are going to be people who survive. See, they are just waiting you out. The people at the top are waiting you out. When you crumble and you can't afford it, then they'll scoop in and buy it at a wholesale price.

So what do you have? What do you have? Gold, silver. We're going to talk about cryptocurrencies in just a second with a guy who is going to be the head of the, or one of the heads of the House Financial Committee when we come back here in about 10 minutes. He's going to talk to us about cryptocurrency and what all of that means and what the government is doing. Right now, what are they doing? They're collapsing cryptocurrency.

Cryptocurrency, I bet you if it was completely unleashed right, now, if there weren't any government saying, well, we're going to control, cryptocurrency probably be at $100,000 for Bitcoin right now. You've got to have food, water, land, a home, but not the stuff that you're so far in debt. If you have high interest credit cards, anything that is high interest or variable, get rid of it right now. it's better to have, you know, five or seven percent loan on your house than a variable loan because the interest rate could become crippling. Now, what most likely is going to happen is they're going to just start raising the rate

and raising the rate and raising the rate until everything falls apart. And then they're going to slash the rate. And at the time they slash the rate before, you know, inflation is fixed. That is your moment of, we've given up. Acceleration of inflation is our destiny. You'll start seeing them go to cryptocurrency and everything else. When America does that, that's when the world really freaks out and the game completely changes. The Glenn Back program. Okay, I hope I'm wrong on all that. I really hope I'm wrong. Pray that I'm wrong.

Mary wrote in about her experience with relief actor, she says I was in so much pain. By the way, medicine is a good thing to store. I was in so much pain that I literally couldn't walk anymore. Then I got a hold of relief factor. And within a few weeks, I was feeling so much better that I was actually able to walk again. My neighbors were so impressed that they ordered relief factor

and started taking it for themselves as well. Thank you. Thank you, thank you. From me and my friends and neighbors. Mary, way to go. Way to go. relief factor is not a drug and it is something that will take you out

without you even feeling that you're taking something to get rid of your pain it just reduces inflammation and I'll tell you you know when something is real when people start taking it and then they tell everybody they know and that's what happens I've done it

I can't tell you how many times I've said it myself to friends have you tried relief factor try it please relieffactor 1-800 the number four relief 1-800 for relief 1995, the three-week quick start see if it works for you. Relieffactor.com.

Don't miss that special. It happened last night on Glenn TV. It's all part of blazedtiv.com slash Glenn. The promo code is Glenn. Dow is down again. 631 points. Nobody. Nothing to see here, people.

Move on. That democratic momentum to the midterms is really, really ravishing. It's really good. My tribute to Coolio. Coming up. Can we delete the show from the archives?

I don't think so. Can we just? We have Andy Barr with us, the congressman from Kentucky. He is on the House Financial Services Committee, senior member, and a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. And we had him on last week. We were talking a little bit about cryptocurrency and other things, and I wanted to have him on to continue that conversation. Welcome, Congressman, welcome back to the program.

Glenn, great to be back with you. Okay, so I want to get to cryptocurrency, but I want to clean something up here that is in the news, comes from Will Salatin. He is a writer for Bullwark. He is a rational human being that doesn't hype things up, et cetera, et cetera. and he has written a story several weeks ago.

I learned that Citibank locks some of its customers out of accounts and refuses to release their money even if they show up with ID. This week I sent an email explicitly, they sent an email explicitly affirming its right to do this without cause. In the email from City, City reserves the right to close an account at any time and for any reason with or without cause. they will only return funds that they quote deem as belonging to the customer. There's a lot of things that changed after 2008. Are you guys watching these banks so they don't just take everybody's money if they want to or if it becomes politically expedient for them to do that? Well, that's an interesting story for sure.

We had Jane Frazier, the CEO of Citigroup, in front of our committee last week, we had some of the CEOs of the largest financial institutions in front of us, and we asked probing questions about their commitment to depoliticizing the allocation of credits. We talked to them about competition in the financial marketplace. This issue, I don't know the details. That's an interesting issue. So let me send you the story. And then if you can look into it, great. I'd love to hear what you find. All right. So let's talk about cryptocurrency. Our Dow is down over 600 points again today. Yesterday in England, the sterling almost wiped out. The whole world is in trouble. The dollar is going up. But,

only because it's the best of the worst. And eventually, the chickens will come home to roost and things will fall apart. The government seems to be moving towards a cryptocurrency that is not anonymous. And when they say that, they immediately say, well, but none of the banking system really is anonymous. But that's not true, is it? You see the economy stumbling the way it is, moving into recession. There is no soft landing here. Why inflation is at a 40-year high is because of too much government, too much government spending,

raising taxes in the middle of an economic downturn, increasing taxes on businesses, discouraging business investment, paying Americans to not work, too much government intervention in the form of regulation, a war against domestic energy production, all of this economic trouble, all of the headwinds that Americans are facing is a direct result of too much government. And when you have these socialists who are advocating for a central bank digital currency, this is exactly the wrong approach. It is more government intervention into the private economy. and it portends a threat to not only privacy, but it also is a grave threat to our private sector, to our free enterprise system. There are certainly important goals in the digitization of our money supply, goals like instantaneous settlement, reducing friction, a preservation of the dollar's dominance.

But none of those goals require a Fed-issued digital dollar or what's called a central bank digital currency. So why is – let me ask it this way. I believe this is because we are – whether we admit it or not, using modern monetary theory now, which allows us just to print everything that we want, as long as you have – have access to everyone at the bottom their accounts and control of how they spend their money. Is that why we're looking at this kind of currency? One of the reasons? Well, yes. I mean, the concern here is more government control. The prospect of government's surveillance of Americans' individual financial transactions is real if you have a central bank

digital currency, especially when it's coupled with a so-called Fed account. If you think the idea of postal banking is a bad idea, this is postal banking on steroids, where your money would be in a central bank account instead of a private bank account. Think of the power that the federal government would have over your funds. They could surveil your transactions. They could debit your account without your consent, the internal revenue service could attach funds that are in your account. So it's monitoring, it's government control, it's government approval or disapproval of the way in which you manage your finances or spend your money. The government can look into where you're getting your funds and approve or disapprove of how you're getting your funds, not just how you

spend your funds. And then think of government agencies that disapprove of the way you conduct yourself and the fines that government agencies could impose and, again, debit your account without your knowledge and without your consent. So it raises a series privacy concerns, but it also raises concerns about more government control over private society and the politicization of our society, politicization of loans, politicization of payments, and of your credit scores, of your tax compliance, monetary policy would be disrupted. And here's the thing that I think is probably one of the greatest concerns. You're transferring all of this financial power away from the private sector and into the

hands of the federal government. And what you do when you have a central bank digital currency, especially when coupled with Fed accounts, which many of these socialists are advocating, is you disintermediate the private banking system. What that means is, as money gravitates away from bank accounts, checking accounts, savings accounts, deposit accounts, and into these central bank accounts, the government accounts, it means that the deposit base for the private banking system is eroded. That is a problem because it means less lending, less credit available for private sector institutions to deploy into the real economy. That's very distortionary to the private sector. So it is, it's basically a

fundamental shift away from a private economy to a socialist government-controlled economy. And it's truly frightening. I just did a special on this last night, and we, we spoke about cryptocurrency in the last part of the program. And the experts that I had on said, this has got to stop. This cannot go through. And people are thinking about this as a far-off distant thing. It's not that far off. And it will start subtly. And it'll be just, we're only taking this step.

Then we're only taking this step. And before you know it, the government will have a bank account where they will say to you, you know what? There's a thousand dollars. And every single person has it in their Fed bank account. Just activate it. And you can have access to the $1,000. dollars. Then the next step would be, by the way, you get $2 for every one if you change them over to

digital currency. Most people will do something like that. But what they're taking from you is the ability to truly be free because the government, if it can give, it can take away. And when you try to control the economy, like they're going to try to control because of monetary theory, new modern monetary theory. What they have to do is they have to, if the gas prices are going out of control, they will just say to the private sector, you know, if your name starts with ABCD, you can't spend any money on gas on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. And you'll be controlled on what you can and cannot buy. You're eating too much meat. Go ahead.

But this is not going to buy meat. they can outlaw anything just by making this digital currency not work at a gun store or a meat store. And Glenn, what you're describing is not theoretical. This is actually happening in China. This is what China's experiment with the digital one is producing, a surveillance state where the financial system is totally controlled by the government and where individuals lose their freedom. to government manipulation, coercion, and threats. That is the Chinese Communist Party's experiment with the digital yuan or the digital R&B.

We do not need to compete or we should not compete with China by becoming more like China. There is no threats. There is no threats currently to the dollar's dominance. The rule of law is what in our private sector strength is what gives the dollar its dominance. If you want to preserve the dollar's dominance, and that is a paramount goal, we shouldn't compete with China by trying to mimic China. Instead, what we need is to encourage private sector innovation in digital assets and in cryptocurrency. There are huge advantages. The reason why there's an increased adoption rate of crypto and digital assets is because of the advantages, of privacy, of frictionless transactions,

of instantaneous settlement, real-time payments, those are all real strong advantages in this innovation. But instead of centralizing that new technology in the federal government, we simply need a regulatory framework that will attract competition in private dollar-backed so-called stable coins. A true cryptocurrency, they complain it is some of the critics and the promoters of a central bank digital currency say, well, these crypto currencies like Bitcoin, they're too volatile.

They're not a good store of value. That's why we need a central bank digital currency. But what we don't need that, what we need is stable coins that preserve value, that store value without volatility. They're dollar-backed kind of like a money market account. So you have a fiat-backed, a dollar-back stable coin, and allow there to be bank-issued stable coins, private bank-issued stable coins,

non-bank-issued stable coins, let there be private sector innovation and competition, but have a regulatory framework where consumers know that this digital asset will preserve value based on its peg to the U.S. dollar. That's the way you take advantage of the frictionless, instantaneous settlement technology, while at the same time protecting the dollar's dominance without compromising privacy, without giving into more government control and preserving Americans' freedom and protecting the dominance of the private sector in our society. Okay, so, Andy, I've got about 45 seconds here for an answer on this question.

Will the United States government eventually shut things like Bitcoin down if they go to cryptocurrency? Will they destroy all the competition? I think a CBDC is a massive threat to the private sector innovation with cryptocurrencies in the private sector. It is an effort to displace private sector crypto innovation, and we need to stop it, and we need to protect that private sector innovation. You know, the advent of cryptocurrency is a freedom-producing phenomenon. We cannot allow government bureaucrats to co-op that freedom-producing technology. And I think that's why digital assets and innovation in crypto is such a threat to the promoters of big government. Yes.

Because they see that it liberates people. And so they want to co-opt it and concentrate all of that technology in the hands of a central bank. That is the wrong way to go. that is freedom destroying. That's why Republicans in the majority in the next Congress are going to fight the Federal Reserve's exploration of a central bank digital currency. Good. Count us in on that fight. Thank you so much. That's Congressman Andy Barr from Kentucky. If you want to get involved, please in the 70s, people were protesting, peaceful protests in front of the Fed. This should be something that you pay attention to because this is the end of your

freedom should it happen. Back in just a minute, it's hard to overstate the value of being at the right place at the right time, but the right time is right now.

and stole 86 million dollars in cash and assets? They came in with guns ablazin, picked some of the locks of the safety deposit box broke open others, but they took everything in the vault, $86 million.

Largest in U.S. history. Have you heard about it? You haven't heard about it still? No, only really from, I've heard you tease it the last couple days, but that's the only time I've ever heard of it. Okay, so. And I follow the news. You actually do.

You actually do. It's just been framed differently. Okay. is the break-in of the vault of Beverly Hills by the FBI. And that's why no one is going to jail for it. But they should. Let me give you the full story here. FBI began investigating a U.S. private vaults store in Beverly Hills.

And what they did is they were watching people, they were watching this vault, and somebody on the FBI just noticed that there were cars that were coming in from Illinois and going in and putting things in a vault. Well, Illinois is a big drug, a big drug state. So there's evidence number one. Cars were going in and out that had Illinois plates. Okay, that's not good evidence.

Not good evidence. No, not good evidence. I assume there's more to come that's better than that. Um, not really. I'm just looking at the story. Illinois plates. Yeah. Yeah.

Cars were coming in with the Illinois plates. Oh, and there were many of the customers that were using rental cars to come. And these rental cars are, of course, associated with drug traffickers because if they smell marijuana, well, they don't, you know, you can say, I don't know. well, I wasn't smoking marijuana. I never had a marijuana in the car. It's this rental car. Now, remember, in California, marijuana is legal. Okay?

So you had those two things going for the FBI. And so they decided to go in. They went to get a warrant. They had six warrants, five of which were rather straightforward and pertained only to the business and the business owners. However, according to a study now from the LA Times, the sixth warrant signed by a U.S.

magistrate judge, Steve Kim in 2021, authorized the agents to seize business equipment from the store, including 1,400 safety deposit boxes located in the store, even though the agents did not know the identity of the box owners or have probable cause to suspect that the owners of those boxes were involved in any kind of drug trafficking or money laundering scheme. The government didn't know what was in those boxes, didn't know who owned them. What, if anything, these people had done? Because they didn't even know the people. So, 400 customers had their goods taken from this safety deposit box.

This is unprecedented. Never happened before. $87 million. Now, according to court filings, the FBI insisted on the affidavit that the warrants authorize the seizure of the nests of boxes themselves, but not the contents. On the warrant itself, signed by the judge, this warrant does not authorize a criminal search or seizure of the contents of the safety deposit boxes. However, the FBI didn't care. And they opened up every single one of those boxes and took the ill-gotten goods. The FBI later said, we have no obligation to inform the judge how later actions such as criminal investigations against boxholders or forfeiture of box contents would play out.

So he specifically said, you have no right to open up any of those boxes. They did because they probably had probable cause, but we don't know what the probable cause was. We have no idea because they didn't file it. And when they had probable cause, it was license plates from Illinois and they were using rental cars. 700 customers, I'm sorry, I thought it was 400. It's 700 customers affected by the FBI raid. nine were referenced by the FBI in the affidavit. Thus far, no one has gotten any of their stuff back.

None of the customers have been charged with any crimes. Not a single customer out of the 700, not a single customer has been charged with a crime. But they can't get their stuff back. Right. FBI won't say if any of them have been a subject of a criminal. investigation prior to the raid in the alleged alleged in the affidavit only is the fact that those who are irrational or who have criminal motives would rent a box from this this

safety deposit box company rather than a bank so in the affidavit that's another thing they told the judge it's irrational why would you keep your money there instead of at a bank. What? It's not your decision to make, whether it's rational or not. It's my money. I get to put it wherever I want. It's my stuff.

I get to put it wherever I want. Now, the Vault Company apparently pled guilty to the drug and money laundering charges, but nothing else has come from the investigation. The company is out of business. The owners were never charged. The owners were never charged. were never charged. Hmm.

And now people are suing to get their money back. But a lot of customers aren't willing to put up all of the money for, you know, because not everybody had a lot of money in there. You know, somebody had the ashes of their loved one in a safety deposit box. Nope, not getting it back. And the reason why people aren't willing to do it is because it's taking a lot. You're fighting the federal government. So it's taking a lot of money to fight the federal government.

So people are losing tens of thousands of dollars at this early stage just to make sure that they're cleared. Not got their stuff back, just cleared. Huh. It's incredible. How does this stuff happen? This is going to happen more and more. Do you know that in 2008, banks changed. the rules, the government changed the rules, that in the case of any kind of emergency, the bank

does not allow you to go in to get your safety deposit box and open it. It must be opened in the presence of a DHS official. Did you know that? It must be? It must be. In case of an emergency. If the government says it's an emergency and we have, you know, any stupid reason to see what's in everybody's safety deposit box, the banks cannot allow you to take the contents of your box without a DHS official in the room with you going through the box. So, I mean, I guess the theory behind that would be what? Like, you have illicit materials so you'll get caught by the DHS official? Yeah. Let's say there's terrorists and you've got a, I don't know, a pipe bomb, you know, or, or, you know, plans for a pipe bomb.

They'd be able to catch you. I personally think it's to seize your cash. Anybody who has cash, you have too much cash. You're automatically guilty as we've seen with this sort of, I mean, the government's taking this at all levels. This one, they say, no crimes. No crimes. No crimes. And yet they're keeping the $86 million. This is on the civil asset forfeiture sort of framework. And it's something that we've talked about for a long time. It's incomprehensible that this stuff goes on in the United States of America. If you were to tell me this happened, you know, in Russia, you'd expect it. I'd expect it. Correct. The fact that the United States government is claiming and just taking stuff from citizens all around the country, with no crime, many times even being charged, let alone, I mean, to me, conviction is the point when you have an argument.

Yeah. When you prove your case, you can take the stuff. Correct. Not before that. Instead, they're doing it before they even charge anyone. Listen to this. The lawsuit also claims that some of the boxholders who came forward to reclaim their seized property were then subject to another investigation.

If you went to the FBI and said, I want my stuff back. the FBI examined their bank accounts, their DMV records, their tax returns, and any criminal history checks. Approximately 20 to 30 box holders decided, you know what, I don't want anything to do with this. FBI agent Linda Zellhart said that many have speculated that those holders who walked away wanted to avoid either becoming an FBI target or the tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. So in other words, if you just say, you know what, my wife's ashes are just not worth it. Well, maybe you're hiding something. Oh, my God. So you're guilty if you walk away and you're guilty.

If you ask. If you ask. Oh, well, that's it. This is America, gang. This is it. You know, we, we, yeah, it is today. It is today. It doesn't seem like it.

Yeah, it doesn't. It because it's not a constitutional America. But this is the America we now live in. And it is important that you wake up and stand up. We have to begin to stand together. Get your preacher off his fat ass. If he is not already delivering sermons about the blessings of God because we're stopping abortion and then warning what's going to be happening in those other.

if he's too afraid to say anything about abortion and alert you to the blessings and the dangers, find another church. Talk to him and say, why not? Be Hems and Haws, find another church. Find another church. If these rights are given to us by God, that's not just a phrase in the Declaration of Independence. Who else gives rights? Who else?

If you can't say God, then it's got to come from the government. And I don't get anything from the government, especially for free. I get no rights from the government. If they're not on the front lines of standing up and protecting God-given rights, you're in the wrong church. go find one and start standing up for these things. You are about to have a digital currency that has all of the earmarks of the mark of the beast. All of the earmarks. Read revelation.

Read what cryptocurrency can do if it's run by the central bank and read about what it is in China. It might as well be the mark of the beast. You are about to lose everything financially. Why? Because of corruption. Is that what God wants? Does God want you just to stand around and just allow corruption to happen? Does God have a position on mutilation of our children's bodies? Do you think God has a position on whether it's cool or not to teach kids all about sex in second grade? Do you think God has a position on whether it's cool or not to teach kids all about sex in second grade? Do you think God has a position on any of this? Do you think if Jesus came back today and you were there saying, you know what, whatever about the trans shows and the stripper shows with the kids? Do you think God has an opinion on that?

If you don't, I don't know who you worship. He has strong opinions, especially on what happens to his children. and that includes you, me, Democrats, socialist, Marxist, kids, old people. He has a definite love for all of us. But he also has an opinion on right and wrong. And if your preacher ain't talking about it, get away from that church and find out, because God's people have got to start standing up or we lose freedom. The world's freedom will be on our heads.

Back in a minute. Jerry wrote in to say his dog's experience about Rough Greens, he said, I listened to you rave about the product for several years before I decided to try it. And then I got a trial bag. It was more than enough to see the results I needed to continue purchasing more. My dog is playing and running again. She has arthritis and skin allergies. But I could tell the difference.

I can tell the difference. Rough greens, it's not a dog food. It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black. You sprinkle on the dog food and it's chock full of vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and antioxidants. You name it. Now, I have to tell you, the only change I saw in my dog for the first month was that he ate and he licked his bowl clean. He was excited to eat. That was, that's all I really wanted because I thought he was healthy.

Then I started seeing the healthy changes over the next six months. And it was mind-blowing. The folks at Rough Greens are so confident your dog's going to love it. They have a special deal.

That's hubris like I've never seen before. That's what the president has said. And lo and behold, the MRNA is what he's going to use to cure cancer, he says. And guess what? Moderna. Yeah, the COVID vaccine people. They're the ones who own the MRNA technology along with the federal government. So the week that we stop funding COVID and everybody stops buying all the COVID stuff and

Moderna is in real trouble because they had all this money and now nothing's rolling in. The government decides, you know what, we're going to invest in MRNA technology to see if we can cure cancer. Now our Lord has a plan that he says will end hunger. and he's going to end hunger through the power of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Oh my gosh. Well, that's great. More diverse healthcare workforce would better serve communities of color, which suffer from higher rates of food insecurity.

Patients are less likely to see or share information if they perceive ethnic or social differences. in their health care providers. So just by diversifying our medical field, we will, quote, end hunger and diet-related diseases. My gosh, this is a sacred mission from these people. The Glenn Back Program. Philip wrote in about its experience with relief factories. I used to have pain in my ankle all the time because I'd walk on it funny and I'd get spraying ankles all the time. Well, ever since I started taking Relief

Factor, all the pain went away. I walked normally now. It's been about three months and I can tell you I am relieved. Thank you so much. Philip, thanks for writing in and thanks for sticking with Relief Factor to see if it was working for you. I assume you saw some results in the first 30 days. Relief Factor is not a drug.

The promo code is Glenn. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I was reading the scriptures last night and Psalm 34, which I had never read before, leapt out at me and I just urge you to read it. We are in really turbulent times right now. And it is very easy to get swept up in. fear and anger and confusion. I mean, most people just don't know what's about to come on shore.

Imagine the hurricane. That's what's happening in Florida is a physical manifestation of just a small part of what's going to happen to us spiritually and mentally as an entire nation and world over the next couple of years. And that is frightening to think about. If you're awake, you're kind of like, I wish I could go back to sleep again. But don't. If I may, if you open up your scriptures, I sought the Lord and he answered me.

He delivered me from all of my fears. Those who look to him are radiant. Their faces are never covered with shame. Have you ever noticed that? Have you ever noticed somebody who's like really locked in and really a great person? I don't care if they go to church or not. they're just a really good, good person. Have you ever noticed their face, their eyes, everything is different.

They just radiate. You ever notice that? Yeah, I think so. His poor man called the Lord heard him. He saved him out of all of his troubles. The angel the Lord encamps around those who fear him and he delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

Fear the Lord, you holy people. for those who fear him lack nothing. The lions will grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. Listen to me. I will teach you. Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days. Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies.

Turn from evil and do good. seek peace and pursue it. Pretty good advice. Pretty darn good advice. Close your scriptures. Now let's all stand for a hymn from Culeo. Why are we? Well, I just, you know, he died.

You know that. I do. It's sad. And it is sad. I'm sorry that we've lost him. But, you know, just because we lost him doesn't mean we can't. salute him. You know what I'm saying? Oh, okay.

I can understand. I don't understand why you went directly from Psalms to Culeo. I don't know why those two are related. You don't want to sing with me? I don't. Come on. You can sing with me, can't you? I can only hear the weird owl lyrics when I hear the song. I don't even, I don't know that I've ever even heard the actual song. I only heard Amish Paradise 100,000 times. And I'm proud to say it.

The real song. And we lost it. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how we lost him. But he was 59, believe it or not. I believe it. And also if he was 99 or 19, I also would have believed that, because I don't know anything really about, Cooley.

I'm sure he was a quite a good... As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I take look at my life and realize there's not much left. Because I've been blasting and laughing, So long that even my mama thinks that my mind is gone. But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it. Me, be treated like a punk?

You know, that's unheard of. You better watch how you're talking. You better watch how you're walking. Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk. I really hate to trip, but I got a lock. As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool. I'm kind of gee, the little homies want to be like, on my knees in the night, saying prayers in the street light.

Can I get an amen? Man. Then spending most their lives living in the gangsters paradise. Then spending most their lives living in the gangstas paradise. Keep spending most our lives living in the gangstas paradise. Keep spending most our lives living in the gangster paradise. That was... I think this has been a very refreshing meeting. Very, I mean, I feel uplifted.

That was a beautiful rendition of gangstess paradise. Really? Because there is, you know, there's, I mean, that was only just the first time. Look at the situation they got me facing. I can't live a normal life. I was raised by the street. So I got to be down with the hood team. So much television watching gotten.

me chasing dreams. I'm an educated fool with money on my mind. I got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye. I'm a locked out gangster set tripping banger

and my homies is down. So don't arouse my anger. Fool? Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away. I'm living life, do or die. What can I say?

I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24? The way things is going, I don't know. Tell me why we... Tell me why are we so blind to see that the ones we hurt are you and me. Wow. Been spending... Oh, no, you don't have to do the course again.

Most their lives living in a gangster paradise. I mean, actually... Then spending most my lives living in a gangster's paradise. You don't need to really... Keep spending most our lives living against a paradise. Keep spending most our lives

living against a paradise. You know, it's really interesting. He did make it to 24. I know. Actually, listening to his vision of his world at 23, living in 59 and dying of what might be a heart attack,

seems like a good outcome. Yeah, it does. But I mean, still, I mean... He wasn't true. He's going to make it to 20. He made it all the way to 59. They say I got to learn. But no one's here to teach me.

If they can't understand it, how can they reach me? I guess they can't. I guess they won't. I guess they front. That's why I know my life is out of luck. Fool? Tell me, why are we so blind to say, see that the ones we hurt

are you and me? Tell me why are we so blind to see that the ones we hurt are you and me. I'll be very disappointed if someone in the audience has not posted a picture of you with Culeo's hair

by the end of the spurman. That's weird. You don't seem as broken up about the Culeo thing as I would expect a man of your street cred you're yes you're upbringing you were brought up on the streets practically but I'm practically raised by wolves and gangs yeah I've been to your hometown and where you were where you were uh raised Mount Vernon Washington wow we want to talk about mean streets the mean streets of Mount Vernon yeah it's uh mm I mean it looks like a paradise

but it's actually don't do it a gangster paradise Travesting. Oh, man. I think, I just think that I, if there was a job for dramatic reading of lyrics. Glenn, you have the job. This is the job. You're doing the job. Well, every time I do it, you complain.

The only place where this is desired in all of media is the show that you're on. And you're, but you always complain. Oh, I mean, I can't help but complain. But I will say you are raising awareness for Culeo's work. You know, maybe. people in this audience may not be as familiar with Coolio's story as they are now. That's his last name? What?

Cullio's story? No, Cullio's story. Oh, you didn't say an S. I thought maybe that was his last name. I'd never heard a last name to Culeo. There was an S at the beginning of story and the end of Culeo. What was his last name? So I did put them together maybe.

I mean, it's like Culeo Robinson doesn't sound as Culeo as just Culeo. Do he know his last name? I can look it up. I don't know it. real name. Cooley. I'm going to guess that Culeo is not his birth name. That's,

that's my, that's my guess. I'd like to look it up, but then again, I'd have to ask if I did. Where the hell my phone? Where the hell my phone? Uh,

where the hell my phone? Where the hell my phone? Where the hell my phone? All right. Artis, Leon, Ivy, Jr. This is perfect. Artist is his first name?

Artists. Artists. Artists. Leon. Ivy Jr. Artists, which would be reduced to Artie. That's not what I would have talked about. Hey, Ardy, comey.

I don't think that would have worked. Culeo was the right choice. That's right. It would be better than Artie. Better than he would not be as famous if it was Gangs's Paradise by Artie. Right. I would agree. Living in.

Gangsta Paradise. I. Artie. All right. I wanted you to check out Goldline and the specials they're having this week. The inflation we're experiencing, I don't know if you paid attention and saw what happened in England yesterday, but the pound almost just was destroyed yesterday. They had their 2008. All of their retirement funds. Oh, this is coming, America. all the retirement funds suddenly went down. We don't have any of the money to pay for any of it. So what happened?

Stock market, the British sterling, everything just tubes. And so the government did what they had to do. They started to bail out those big banks and big institutions. So that's going to be worse for inflation. It saved the market for a day. But that's pretty much it. saved England from crashing for I don't know how long, but it will catch up eventually. It's already catching up in inflation.

It's worse in London and England than it is here right now. So please, please, please consider gold or silver as something that you put some of your money in. And I don't mean paper gold or paper silver. That stuff, an ETF. Go ahead. Try to eat on your ETF. No, I got a piece of paper right here.

Hello, you're sick, twisted freak. Welcome to the program. There's a new poll that is out in Russia. This is a Russian poll. The poll numbers for support of the war have been up around 90% in Russia. New poll has just come. come out after the call up of reserves.

And what are the people in Russia saying? The support has fallen a little bit, which is going to shock you, I know. It's gone from, you know, high 80s, low 90s in support, now down to 48%. It's now below majority levels, 4844. And that's, again, I don't know, what do you take from a public opinion poll in Russia? Like, I kind of just assume each answer is given at the barrel of a gun. Well, you can be tried for treason. with this. If you speak out against the war,

depending on who you are, depending on who you piss off, you can be tried for treason. We've seen tons of people protesting being loaded into vans. We've seen people just disappearing. We've seen all that happening. And that's not a huge shock to anybody. But the fact that they're giving answers now publicly to this level is pretty shocking. So there's another story that came out of the New York Times. and I find this extraordinarily irresponsible from the New York Times. The New York Times got

intercepted calls that the Ukrainians taped from people using cell phones. It's awesome of that, yeah. And they're saying horrible things. I mean, they're admitting to war crimes to their loved ones at home, not necessarily them,

but they're describing the war crimes that are being told by their communications, manning officers to do. They're admitting to stealing property, killing people, stealing property and sending it home. And admitting to losing. Yeah. They're losing. They can't advance anymore.

Putin is a fool. This is a fool's errand. This is going to get us all killed. All of these things on tape. In the New York Times story, they identify by at least first name, the people who made these calls. And you hear their voices. Yeah.

And you hear their voices. and they are their regiment is singled out some of these regiments have lost 70% of the people so you only have to look at the 30% that are there listen to their name or listen to their name listen to their voice wow and then find it this is incredibly irresponsible yeah i mean you could you could report on the contents without giving names and just you know alter their voices i don't don't include their don't include what regiment they're in. Yeah, because I mean, I know people will be skeptical of this. Of course, there's people already questioning whether the tapes are authentic. Russia's obviously saying they're not. I don't believe them. But the New York Times said that they they tracked down the names and the numbers. And if the New York Times could do it, certainly Russia could do it. They're their employees. Correct. I mean, it's really irresponsible. Yeah. Really irresponsible. Again, Russia, you know, you'd think. I mean,

New York Times would certainly tell you that they think Russia are the bad guys in this particular back and forth. So why would they endanger the Russians who are skeptical of this effort, right? Like you'd want, those are the people you want speaking out behind the scenes to weaken that side of the war effort, I would think. Millions of people have been affected by Hurricane Ian.
