Starting point is 00:04:17 American Airlines rated the worst. Losing the most bags, shrinking legroom during COVID. American requires passengers to show ID to fly, but attacks Texas's popular voter ID law. Why is CEO Doug Parker trying to appease the radical left to distract from billions of taxpayer bailouts from his $10 million payday from Americans record layoffs? Doug Parker, American Airlines, serve your customers, not woke politicians. Wow. Doug Parker's a bad guy, isn't he? I think it was Dan Tucker. No, it's Doug.
Starting point is 00:04:51 No, is Dan. So we play it again to make sure I apologize. I hate to. I'm pretty sure it was Dan. No, it's Doug Parker. Let's just listen to. Let's not argue. All right, all right. Let's play it again, please.
Starting point is 00:05:01 American Airlines rated the worst, losing the most bags, shrinking legroom during COVID. American requires passengers to show ID to fly, but attacks Texas's popular voter ID law. Why is CEO Doug Parker trying to appease the radical left to distract from billions of taxpayer bailouts from his $10 million payday from Americans record layoffs? Doug Parker. There it is. So you know what really bothers me is that Doug Parker is right? You're right. You're right. You're right. Doug Parker. That he's just jamming this down the throat. So if you're flying United Airlines, all of a sudden you...
Starting point is 00:05:40 No, no, no. But? Those American Airlines. Not a United. Oh, I'm pretty sure they said. It was Doug Parker, American Airlines. Well, we know it was Doug Parker, but I thought it was United. Right? No. You know, listen to it again. I'm sorry. American Airlines rated the worst. Losing the most bags, shrinking leg room during COVID.
Starting point is 00:06:00 American requires passengers to show ID to fly, but attacks Texas's popular voter ID law. That's weird. Why is CEO Doug Parker trying to appease the radical left to distract from billions of taxpayer bailouts? Whoa, my gosh. Really? For this $10 million payday. $10 million payday. While he was laying people off.
Starting point is 00:06:20 Some of your customers. Oh, it is American. Okay, sorry for that. It was Doug Parker American Airlines. I'm embarrassed. We were not prepared for that at all. I'm sorry. We had to play the thing three different times.
Starting point is 00:06:31 And I only wanted to play it once. I only wanted to play it once. I mean, I'm sorry that was so repetitive. Yeah. By the way, we have the head of the Consumers Research Group. I don't even know what you call it. It's a, I think it's a 501C3. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:48 I mean, we should find out because maybe somebody would want to donate to this group. Yeah. I can't, I like, because I really like this. this tactic. Oh, I love it. And I like it, you know, as you know, I'm not a boycott guy. And I don't think they're effective. I don't think they work.
Starting point is 00:07:05 Yes, they do. No, they don't. Yes, they do. Yeah, Gina Carrano, she's doing great over the Daily Wire. Is that still, is that still Disney? I don't know. No, but it's not Disney, but they can isolate our voices. They removed the most popular character from a Star Wars franchise,
Starting point is 00:07:23 while conservatives got it to trend number one overall. on the country and they still didn't care. I mean, but you know what they care about? Their freaking, their name being the CEO's name, Doug Parker. Doug Parker from American Airlines. Doug Parker. You know, you should, you should tweet today or Facebook
Starting point is 00:07:40 and ask Doug Parker. I mean, don't you feel bad taking billions in taxpayer money, laying off all of those people, and then getting a $10 million dollar payday, Doug Parker? I mean, if I were Doug Parker, I would feel bad. what if you were Doug Parker? I would feel terrible. People were all talking about me and my payday.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Who, you, is Stu? Doug Parker. Oh, Doug Parker. Yes, from American Airlines. Yeah. They really don't like Doug. Well, I mean, I'm not, I can't speak for Doug Parker, but people like Doug Parker. They do not.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Do not like their name associated with things like this, Doug Parker. Yeah. At American Airlines CEO. I think this is also much more manageable for people to do. We talked about how, yeah, how difficult it is to like not drink Coca-Cola if you trying to boycott right and they own every drink. It would be really easy for me to tweet right now,
Starting point is 00:08:30 hashtag Doug Parker, why? Hmm. Why? Yeah. Why a $10 million payday for hashtag Doug Parker at hashtag American Airlines? Why? I love the political attack ad like mode it is too.
Starting point is 00:08:47 It's just like all of these things piled on top with like the why on earth was he shrinking leg room during COVID? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I want to know. I want to know from Doug Parker. Are you pro-COVID, Doug?
Starting point is 00:09:01 What are you doing? Did you benefit off of this, Doug Parker, from American Airlines? You know, what I really like is the fact that when we just heard it, and if you were watching, you saw it with all of the footnotes. So you know that it's true. You can follow those stories, Doug Parker, in like, you know, the Washington Post or New York Times. that they took billions of dollars.
Starting point is 00:09:26 He still got a $10 million payday, cut workers from the, from the dole. They're no longer working for American Airlines. And then he, he shrinks legroom during COVID. I don't know what the legroom has to do with.
Starting point is 00:09:46 You don't know? No, I didn't know legroom was, had anything to do with the virus, but I'm worried about it. closer to the other person now. Yeah. You are closer to the other person. That is really bad, Stu.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Why was Doug Parker doing gain of function research in the Institute of Verology in Wuhan? I want to know. I want to know. By the way, I would like to know from the White House if there's any evidence that does say that the Wuhan virus did come from that lab. It's seemingly the Biden administration even. is coming out and saying that it might very well be true. Did you see, I think it was PolitiFact that came out and said, no, we just, is that missing now?
Starting point is 00:10:33 What happened to our false? What happened to our fact check? False rating on that. Pants on fire. Yeah. Well, not pants on fire. I don't even know what you're talking about when you're talking about that. They rated that pants on fire lie.
Starting point is 00:10:46 And now, now the whole thing about it did come from the lab in Wuhan. That's just been quietly removed. moved from Pants on Fire to I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, this is really bad. There was a lot of events. I bet you, can I tell you something?
Starting point is 00:11:00 I bet you Doug Parker had something to do with it. From American Airlines? American Airlines CEO, hashtag Doug Parker. Why? Would this even have been a pandemic with more legroom? I don't think so. I think we all would have been fine. We probably would have.
Starting point is 00:11:13 If there was more legroom on American Airlines, if Doug Parker really cared, he wouldn't have taken $10 million dollars as a payday during this. Right. Right. And I don't have a problem with people taking large sums of money. You know, if you're not cutting everybody's job and you're not taking billions of dollars from taxpayers to keep your doors open, if you're taking billions of dollars of taxpayer money, I don't think Doug Parker should have had a $10 million bonus coming. Do you still?
Starting point is 00:11:45 You know, it doesn't seem like that's the way things normally work. But anyway, back to the pants on fire. with the Wuhan thing. The White House now won't come out and say one way or another. Well, I don't think they know, frankly, but still, the fact that... You don't think they know. I don't think they know. I don't think scientists know at this point.
Starting point is 00:12:10 But I do think there's a hell of a lot of evidence when it comes to a circumstantial. There are circumstantial evidence. Okay, I agree with that. but they certainly knew there was no way that was even possible during the campaign. I mean, they knew, and I bet encouraged the Facebook and the Googles of the world to make sure you shut down anyone who said that. A hundred percent true. And, you know, our government was clear during the Trump administration that this was a real possibility, not just from Donald Trump tweeting, but from, you know, the CDC director, right?
Starting point is 00:12:52 People who were really looking at this closely said, there's a good chance it's one or the other. They have not ruled out the natural thread here. But like, I mean, there was an extensive article written by a former New York Times reporter in Medium. Did you read this? It's like, it's like an hour long read, but it's worth it if you care about this stuff. He goes through all the science on it. And I mean, the circumstantial evidence is overweight.
Starting point is 00:13:21 that I would, I mean, my read of it, and I'm, you know, I'm no virologist, but like, I am, I'm a doctor. You are a doctor. It's, it's, it's, I would say the leading possibility. It's not, I wouldn't say it's confirmed, but it is the leading possibility at this point. It, it, I mean, come on. I mean, again, the circumstantial evidence, I know, but it's a little, it's, I mean, common sense at least leads you to the, to the, to the, uh, you know, know, the Mao figure in the freezer at the virology Institute. Yeah. I mean, it kind of, I mean, if we're playing clue, the rope, the gun, and the candlestick and the knife are all in the freezer in Wuhan. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:08 And look, scientists should be trying to confirm this as close as possible. But add all this stuff up, right? At the very least, we should, this is a much more important commission than the January 6th Commission. I want to know how the hell millions of people are dead because of the government of China and their communism. May I
Starting point is 00:14:31 suggest Doug Parker knows? Yes! This is why he changed the leg room. Yeah, it is. It is. It is. Because you can fit more people from Asia, because they are generally smaller people. He's doing that because he's ready for the takeover of China, I
Starting point is 00:14:48 think. Right. Right. You know, hashtag Doug Parker why? Hashtag Doug Parker, why? By the way, you know who you know who just banned mullets and skinny jeans? Fashion.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Right? You kind of like this person. No far. Seems like a great person. Kim Jong-un just did this. He banned mullets. He kind of has a mullet, doesn't he?
Starting point is 00:15:17 I think he has a weird out. I mean, it's a, it's a, it's clearly it's a weirdo haircut. It's one of those haircuts. I mean, it's not a mullet, but it's one of those things that like, oh, you're crazy. Okay. All right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:30 We're not listening to anything because we're looking at your hair because it just says, it screams crazy. So he says no mullets because that's a sign of the decadent influence of capitalism. I don't think so. I don't think so. I think that's just bad fashion. And skinny jeans? No, I don't know. But I like it.
Starting point is 00:15:49 You know who didn't ban this? Doug Parker. Doug Parker didn't do it. Nope. So I mean, Doug Parker is not as good of a human being as Kim Jong-un. Oh, why didn't they put that in the ad? Why didn't they? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Why won't you ban skinny jeans? It feels like too, capitalism isn't the cause of skinny jeans. Capitalism is the cause of people not being able to fit into skinny jeans. That's a, I agree with Kim on that one. All right. Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour, something that Doug Parker probably wouldn't want you to hear. But I don't know if he's for the truth or not. Why? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:32 I don't know. Ask hashtag Doug Parker. Why? Anyway, relief factor. Let's see if we can make that trend. Come on. As an audience, we can do it. We can do it.
Starting point is 00:16:44 Make that trend today. To call your friend right now. we've got three hours. We can make hashtag Doug Parker. Why? Hashtag American Airlines. Why? We can make those trend today.
Starting point is 00:17:00 I think we can do it as an audience. Come on. Don't let me down. Relief factor. You spend every day of your waking life from morning until you go to sleep in pain. Do you say to yourself, I can't do this another day? Ah, I remember those days. Here's what you need to know.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Relief factor will be there for you. And for 70% of the people, you know, it works. They go on and they order more. Now, you'll know within three weeks. That's why they give you the three week trial pack. You'll know in three weeks whether this stuff is going to work for you. If it doesn't, I mean, it sucks to be you. But if it does, it'll change your life.
Starting point is 00:17:39 I did not think it would work for me. But it did. I don't know why. I think it's witchcraft. I think it would work for Doug Parker? No. Okay. No, he's in a class of, I wonder if he's, do you think he's even human?
Starting point is 00:17:54 Or is he possibly one of those UFO commanders? Could be, I'm just asking, hashtag Doug Parker, why? American Airlines, why? Anyway, relief factor. All I want you to do is just try it for three weeks. Call 800, 500, 583, 84. It's relief factor, 800, 500, 8384. 10 seconds.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Station item. All right. All right. Hey, by the way, there's another commercial from the Consumers Research.org, which I think if you like that, I think there are a 501c3. You should go to ConsumersResearch.org and you can get all of these commercials. Hashtag Doug Parker. Why? Hashtag American Airlines. Why?
Starting point is 00:18:55 But you can at Consumersresearch. Consumers with an s research.org. You can get these ads and you can find out if you can donate because I'd hate to have that happen. In a half an hour, I've got the head guy from Consumersresearch.org hashtag Doug Parker. Why? But there's, you know, they've, they've done one for American Airlines. They did one for Nike. And of course, I mean, it wouldn't be a Friday if we couldn't ask ourselves
Starting point is 00:19:27 Coca-Cola, are you killing people? Why? Listen. Coca-Cola is getting political. Attacking Georgia's popular voting law. Why? To distract. From years of dismal sales, terrible 2020 results. Reports suspecting they benefited from forced labor in China. Coca-Cola products are poisoning America's youth and worsening the obesity epidemic.
Starting point is 00:19:50 What's true? The company tried funding phony science to minimize the harms, but they got busted. James Quincy. Coca-Cola. Stop poisoning our children. Serve your customers. James. James.
Starting point is 00:20:01 James. No, it was. No, don't do this. It was. No, we got to listen to it again, I guess. Steve's going to make us. James Quincy. Why?
Starting point is 00:20:13 Hashtag James Quincy. Hashtag Coca-Cola. Why? Poisoning our children? Why? You know, the slave labor thing, they're all in on that. They're all in that. Nike.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Coca-Cola. Why? Did you see there's a new film? Do you see there's a new film out now from the Uighurs? They made them, it's themselves. Oh, really? Yeah. Isn't it about how great everything is in China?
Starting point is 00:20:40 It is. It is like those concentration camps are not concentration camps. And they all the Uyghurs got together because they were so tired of people saying that they were being, you know, systematically removed and killed and sterilized. Yeah. That they themselves wanted to make a little. film. Is that the new sandals resort they built in the Uighur? Right.
Starting point is 00:21:02 You've seen this. Right? Yeah. They're like, it's all inclusive. It's all inclusive. No tipping. No tipping. You don't even have to tip. Nope. And, you know, you just go there. You stay as long as as you like or not. And you get free drinks, free sterilization. Wow. Yeah. Free education. Even if you've had an education, they give you a free re-eastern. education. Wow. You want to talk about benefits. And they have the swim up bar. Right. Which is, I wonder why James Quincy from Coca-Cola would.
Starting point is 00:21:38 That's Quincy James. I'm pretty sure it's James. No, it's James Quincy Adams. No, he don't even have time now to replay it. I just have to ask, hashtag Coca-Cola's James Quincy. Why? Hashtag James Quincy. Why?
Starting point is 00:21:54 Hashtag Coca-Cola. Why? Why are you profiting from concentration camps? Is it the swim up bar that you're... Because they probably have to swim up and say, Jack and Coke, please. Oh, no, wait. They're Muslims so they don't drink.
Starting point is 00:22:12 Huh. We should ask, hashtag James Quincy. Why? Great show for you. Coming up, probably Monday. Today we're just going to kind of wing it. Hope you don't notice. more in just a second.

Not only do they make the most amazing zero-turn lawnmower out there, but they're also the third generation company. They're the ones who invented this and perfected this back in the 60s. They believe in American values, and they're really proud to support. support our troops and our veterans who get a military discount all the time.
Starting point is 00:23:14 And with Memorial Day coming up, Hustler is giving back. If you buy a new hustler, every lawnmower is sold. They're going to make a donation to folds of honor.

Welcome. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. we're so glad you're here. Pat Gray is joining us from Pat Gray Unleashed. I got to tell you, Pat, I thought about you all day yesterday.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Because I think I have the same thing that you had. I went to the dermatologist. My wife has been saying to me for a year, go to the dermatologist. There is something wrong. And I'm like, yes, my skin won't heal. But I'm sure that doesn't mean anything. Right. I'm bleeding from the same place for a solid year.
Starting point is 00:24:41 But what does that? I mean, that's normal. And she's like, I mean, you got it the last three months. She's been like, you're bleeding on each cheek and your forehead every day. Now go because you have cancer. And I'm like, it's not cancer. So I went yesterday to the dermatologist and it is cancer. And she said, but good kind of cancer.
Starting point is 00:25:10 I want to make this really, really clear, really clear. really clear. It's a good kind. Now, I didn't know when she said, she's looking at my skin and she's like, yeah, this is this is probably cancer. And I was like, wait, what? Why are you just saying that casually? Shouldn't I be, you know, sitting down, you know, at least with my underpants on before you just go, yep, it's cancer. All right. What else do you want to talk about? And she said, I kind of pulled back of it and she said, no, it's a good kind of cancer. I said, you know, I've not heard about the good kind of cancer. She said, this kind of skin cancer only goes skin deep. Right. It doesn't spread around your body like melanoma does. She said, so you're not going to die of this. And I'm like, oh. Right.
Starting point is 00:25:51 And then I realized. Unless you let it go. Then it can become something much worse. For like a year? I don't know how long it takes. Because that was my first question. I said, but I've had this for at least a year. And she said, yeah, it's not, it's not a problem.
Starting point is 00:26:07 And I said, oh, okay. And then I realized, I have to go. home to my wife and tell her it's cancer and I don't know what I was afraid of more cancer or saying that to my wife you know exactly what you were more afraid of right because my wife
Starting point is 00:26:24 will kill me faster than cancer would and I had to go home and say okay all right she's looking at me and she's like what did the doctor say and there's that tone and I'm like okay okay
Starting point is 00:26:39 all right let's just start with premise you were right she and then she said do you have cancer and I said it's the good kind so the doctor told me in your face says you just had this right yeah yeah and you had this is some of it removed I had this the scar comes from that and then right here on top of my nose yeah now this this incision was closed by a plastic surgeon this was closed by the regular surgeon. And I recommend a plastic surgeon to close your wounds. Yeah, okay. All right. I'll do that. I'll do that. Welcome to
Starting point is 00:27:19 every off-air conversation, by the way. Yes. At this point. We're going to talk about it. It feels like. We're going to talk about bursitis. Yeah. I have to. Oh, my bursitis. I can. Oh, the weather is going to change. Damn gout is flared up again. I realized, as I'm sitting there, and I'm having this remove it, and I think of

Starting point is 00:31:12 Yeah. Yeah. Probably not pleasant. Suffocating. Do you want to be known as somebody who has suffocated somebody with their butt? No. I don't want to be either of those people, frankly. I'd be embarrassed to be either one of them.

Starting point is 00:31:49 www.m.ls. Consumer Access.org. Julie wrote in. She said, my husband and I heard about American financing from your radio show, Mr. Beck. I like it when people call me Mr. Beck. Actually, I don't. With the low mortgage rates available, we decided to look into refinancing our 30-year mortgage into a 15-year mortgage.
Starting point is 00:32:10 We worked with Scott, who was amazing. He called us and was able to get up some figures over the phone. We were hoping to get some cash out to pay our other debt. We appreciated his support on that. Our rate would have been lower without the cash out. But Scott supported our decision and helped us get the best rate for our situation, really transparent throughout the whole process, always keeping us informed of the next steps, quickly getting back to us when we had questions.
Starting point is 00:32:33 he not only worked well with his team, Katie and Laura, but also made us feel like it was our team. That's American financing for you. Julie, thank you for writing in.

Starting point is 00:33:13 privy to part of the conversation. I don't know who Doug Parker is. Oh my gosh. Well, this is, he's asking us to tell him who Doug Parker is. You know, there's that commercial that summarize it I thought fairly well. We should play that. Could you play the Doug Parker commercial, please? American Airlines rated the worst. Pusing the most bags, shrinking legroom during
Starting point is 00:33:29 COVID. American requires passengers to show ID to fly, but attacks Texas's popular voter ID law. What? Why is CEO Doug Parker trying to appease the radical left. I'm not sure. To distract from billions of taxpayer bailouts from his $10 million payday. 10 million.
Starting point is 00:33:46 From American Airlines. Oh my gosh. Doug Parker, American Airlines. Serve your customers. Not woke politicians. Wow. Wow. Sounds like a bad guy.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Yeah, doesn't it? Yeah, that's why we're trying to see if people agree with us by tweeting out hashtag Doug Parker, why? because these guys, these CEOs love it. Do they? Love it. When you're questioning their salary? Yeah. They love it.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Love it. Of course, he's bad. Wouldn't you say hashtag Doug Parker, why? Is bad? Yeah. He's bad. A lot of people are tweeting. Well, he makes $10 million a year, right?
Starting point is 00:34:24 You can't be good. Well, when you laid off 19,000 employees and you got $5 billion in taxpayer money, you know, you might not want to take the $10 million. $1, hashtag Doug Parker. Why? Why? But did you hear about Coke? The CEO of Coca-Cola?
Starting point is 00:34:41 No. Oh, my gosh. You should listen to this. Coca-Cola is getting political. What's attacking Georgia's popular voting law? Why? To distract from years of dismal sales. Terrible 2020 results.
Starting point is 00:34:53 My gosh. Reports suspecting they benefited from forced labor in China. Coca-Cola products are poisoning America's youth and worsening the obesity epidemic. So the company tried funding funding $420. phony science to minimize the hardest, but they got busted. James Quincy, Coca-Cola. Stop poisoning our children. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:10 Serve your customers. Not woke politicians. Why? Wow. He sounds a lot like Doug What's his face. Yeah. Doug Parker. Doug Parker.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Hashtag Doug Parker. Yeah. Why would he do such a thing? I don't know. I don't know. I. But you heard about the CEO of Nike, didn't you? Who?
Starting point is 00:35:28 The CEO of Nike. Nike is constantly political. Why? Cover. Congressional reports suspect Nike used forced labor in China. Religious minorities were ripped from their families, sterilized, sold to factories. Nike made shoes in those same areas. Congress tried to ban Nike's labor practices.
Starting point is 00:35:46 Nike fought back with highly paid lobbyists. Rather than American's, Nike chose China. John Donahoe. Stop exploiting foreign labor. Serve your customers. Right. Not woke politicians. John Donahoe.
Starting point is 00:35:59 And give us more leg room, too. Right. Wait, that's the other guy. We know they're all great. We have the guy from, what is it again? It's a Consumersresearch.org. They're the ones that produce this. And I think everybody should go to Consumersresearch.
Starting point is 00:36:18 You know, if they have a way to donate to them, you should donate. And you should also take those ads and post them everywhere. Everywhere. Everywhere those should be posted. with the hashtag, of course, why? A lot of people are asking for Doug Parker, why? Pretty interesting questions. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:38 Like, why ID for you, but not for voters? Doug Parker, why? Why? Yeah. Why is there less leg room? Why? Why? Why?
Starting point is 00:36:49 I would like to know the answer to that question. How about? I think the one thing, you know, the obesity and kids, yeah, I know that. We all know that with Coca-Cola. The thing where they were Nike and Coca-Cola accused of using slave labor from the Uighers. That's, you know, that's that's kind of, that's a big why. Yeah. That's a bad one.
Starting point is 00:37:13 How do you sleep at night? Hashtag Doug Barker, why? I don't know. How does he sleep? I mean, it's funny because it's just, it is a totally different. I've never, I don't remember ever seeing this type of campaign used in this way. Non-politicals. No, these are not political ads.
Starting point is 00:37:32 No. You see this all the time with politicians, but I've never seen it like this. With CEOs like that? That's amazing. You sometimes see this sort of stuff from the left, right? They'll go after certain companies and accuse them of, you know, Coke brothers. Yeah, yeah. Coke brothers, right.
Starting point is 00:37:45 But like, you don't normally see it from a non-woke perspective. Which to me leads me to hashtag conservatives. Why? Yeah, I like that. This is, I think, a good tactic. And it also just makes me laugh. I just love it. I really like it.
Starting point is 00:38:01 I just love it. Going back away from long-term listeners, this is like Flamlaski Velvita ads. It is. It's exactly that. Except these are actual. These are real. These are real things that they did.
Starting point is 00:38:14 It's the style, though. I like the style. Yeah, I like the political attack ad style. And you know what? It's their tactic. Really. It's the left's tactic. And I love seeing it used against them.
Starting point is 00:38:25 And I'm giving... Maybe I'm a bad person for that, but I love it. Consumersresearch.org. is getting free air time from me. I'll play these things. Keep making them. I'll play them. And I think I urge every podcaster, every broadcaster, do the same.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Do the same. You'll notice these have not made the news. This is a big deal. Nobody's talking about it because the mainstream press, I can't even call it the mainstream press. The institutional press is, it doesn't, we'll never report on this. No. Never. The only way this is going to get out is through conservatives.
Starting point is 00:39:02 So please, podcasters, broadcasters, and you post it everywhere. Post these things everywhere. We have the CEO of Consumers Research. No, he's not. And you have to ask yourself, hashtag Doug Parker. Why? Why are you the CEO of Consumers Research, Doug? Why?
Starting point is 00:39:25 Why? Is he coming up today? He's coming up in about, yeah, about 10 minutes. Oh, cool. So that's going to be good. You found a story on climate change. Yeah, Stephen Coonan, a guy who graduated from Caltech and then he got his Ph.T. from MIT.
Starting point is 00:39:39 He's a theoretical physicist who worked in the Obama administration. And right now he's a professor at NYU. So he's got incredible conservative credentials. He sounds like a raging conservative. He's another defector from the left wing climate crisis, climate emergency alarmist. Yeah, but he's a hack. He has no credentials. No credentials.
Starting point is 00:39:59 at all. He's a theoretical physicist from Caltech and MIT. What could he possibly know? He was with the Obama administration who did nothing. Right. Yeah, right. So he said that the Obama administration got them studying this. And it was during that course of study
Starting point is 00:40:15 where he started seeing the actual data. And he's like, wait a minute. I think I'm wrong on this. And everybody else was like, yeah, you are, but be quiet about it. And he's not. He's not. To his credit. Wow.
Starting point is 00:40:30 He said that other people were telling him. Other people told him to shut up about it and they're pissed. You know, you know who is, who is silent on this? Hashtag Doug Parker. Why? Why, Doug? Why, Doug? Why?

Starting point is 00:41:56 I've noticed that a lot of people on Twitter are beginning to ask themselves, hashtag Doug Parker, why? Hashtag American Airlines. Why? There's some facts that are going around, apparently, because a lot of people are attaching the commercials that were put out by a company or a group that I've never even heard of. I've been around for 100 years. It's consumers. What is it, Stu? Consumersresearch.org.

Starting point is 00:45:13 Will, I am sorry that I've never heard of your organization before. I know you've been in business now for 100 years. Tell me about what you guys do. And then we have to discuss what you have just done. Absolutely. Well, Consumers Research is the nation's oldest. consumer protection organization, we were founded in 1929. We have a 91-year pedigree in standing up for consumers and being their voice in the marketplace. And that's exactly what this consumer's
Starting point is 00:45:42 first initiative you've referenced is all about. And tell me about the consumer's first initiative. Well, it's a seven-figure ongoing ad campaign with a very simple message. It is to every member of corporate America, every business in corporate America, stop. cozing up to woke politicians, stop cozing up to woke activists to distract from your mistreatment of your customers, and focus on serving them, focus on serving your consumers. Now, you seem, let me play. Could we play one, please? Could we play the Doug Parker American Airlines commercial? Here it is.
Starting point is 00:46:21 American Airlines rated the worst. Losing the most bags. Shrinking legroom during COVID. American requires passengers to show ID to fly. but attacks Texas's popular voter ID law. Why is CEO Doug Parker trying to appease the radical left to distract from billions of taxpayer bailouts from his $10 million payday from Americans record layoffs? Doug Parker, American Airlines, serve your customers.
Starting point is 00:46:49 Not woke politicians. Wow. Hashtag Doug Parker. Why? Hashtag American Airlines. Why? you seem to be going after the CEOs. Why?
Starting point is 00:47:04 Well, they're just part and parcel of part of the organization that is trying to distract from their failures to serve their customers in order to change the conversation. They don't want to have to talk about being rated last by Wall Street Journal, the worst airline in America. They lose the most bags. They kick the most people off of flights. We were actually able to reach out to them and confirm directly from them that during, the period of the COVID pandemic, they continued to decrease legroom on many of their flights. And this is, of course, at a time when they took a multi-billion dollar taxpayer-funded bailout, and that didn't stop CEO Doug Parker from giving himself an eight-figure paycheck last year.
Starting point is 00:47:44 And I'll just lastly add, they laid off 19,000 workers, I believe, during that period. So they want to talk about anything they can other than those facts. Doug Parker certainly doesn't want questions raised about why taxpayers. are subsidizing his performance-based paycheck for taking American Airlines and making it dead last in America. You may be my favorite executive director I've ever met. What is your background, Will? Well, you know, I come from a long line.
Starting point is 00:48:21 I was a Georgetown grab, but I'm not the story here, Glenn. we want to focus on the consumer here and defending their rights. And so, yeah. I don't care. I honestly don't care. Let me just say, I appreciate the, you almost got me going there. I would love to go through my CD. But anyone who's interested in that, my bio is on Consumers Research.
Starting point is 00:48:42 I would like them going there anyway so they can see these ads and find out more about these. So I'm certainly not trying to deflect. But if anyone wants to read my bio, it's on the website. We're very open about that. I really don't care if you're a spawn of Satan at this. point. I love what you guys are doing. I love what you're doing. When we launched on Squatbox on Tuesday, that came up. So there might be people accusing me of that. Oh, wow. Have you, have you, have you, have you guys received any of our, our audience going to the website and
Starting point is 00:49:16 downloading? The response has just been overwhelming. Their YouTube views are through the roof, the Nike ad in particular, has got over 100,000 views. And it's just to see that, but also to see, I think it's got thousands of likes and maybe one of them hasn't even reached a dozen dislikes yet. So I think this has really struck a nerve with consumers, regardless of their position on the political spectrum, no one likes to be mistreated. And that's what's happening here. It doesn't, you know, right or left, you know, American Airlines is kicking the most people
Starting point is 00:49:49 off of their airline. They are losing the most bags. I don't think anybody likes that. I will tell you, you know, there's really very few choices coming in to Dallas. I mean, you can find a lot of different choices. But if you just need the next flight, this is the American Airlines hub. And I was flying them last weekend. They suck.
Starting point is 00:50:10 They suck. I mean, it is, it was, you know, the, the attitude that they have now of you touch your mask and you may not be able to fly with us for the rest of, you know, your day. It was so militant. It was shocking. I haven't flown American in a while. And it was really shocking to see that. And, you know, the other ads that you're doing, the Coca-Cola ad and the Nike ad, I think the really, the thing that really strikes a chord, I hope, with a lot of people,
Starting point is 00:50:47 I know it does with me and the rest of the people on the crew, is their willingness to work in, the same area where they are scooping up the Uighurs and possibly using Uighur slave labor to make their products. It's, it's shameless. Absolutely. And that's really what Nike's trying to distract from. They can't and won't certify with 100% certainty that their shoes aren't made in China without forced labor.
Starting point is 00:51:20 And, you know, there's growing evidence that they are. There was a congressional report on the issue. And when Congress went to act on it to pass a bill that would have banned any product coming from China made with forced labor from entering the U.S. market, Nike spent time, money, and attention lobbying Congress to amend the bill so that their products would not be affected. So they don't want to bring that up. And Coca-Cola's got a very similar problem. You know, no less than Nancy Pelosi, House Speaker, has come out attacking the Olympics for being in Beijing, given their humanitarian abuses. and like you said, the use of forced labor there, gets who one of the top corporate sponsors of the Bayesian Olympics is.
Starting point is 00:51:58 Coca-Cola. So, again, they don't want to talk about that. So they would rather take positions on political issues and legislation that they know nothing about. It's not their expertise because anything's better than having to talk about these issues. Do you guys take donations? Are you a 501C3? We're an independent 501C3 organization.
Starting point is 00:52:19 That's absolutely right. we protect all of our supporters right to privacy, but I can tell you that every single one of our supporters is an American consumer just like you and your viewers. And so people could donate going to Consumersresearch.org. You can donate there. We're working on it. Okay. You should work faster. Let me ask you, you are targeting, for instance, with Coca-Cola, you're targeting the,
Starting point is 00:52:50 the television and cable, mainly in the local areas of where the CEO lives, right? Well, somewhat. We're going live with national stations such as Fox Business and CNBC. And then, of course, we're live in the states in which these companies are headquartered, Georgia, Oregon, and Texas. And then we have web ads going up geographically located in those areas. And then lastly, we have display ads, boards going up near their headquarters and then display ads. You know, next time you're taking a cramped uncomfortable flight with American and, you know, pray that they don't lose your bag. Keep an eye out in the airport in terminal.
Starting point is 00:53:31 You may see one of our display ads right next to the American Airlines logo. So the, this is something Bill O'Reilly taught me. He said, Glenn, if you ever want to push back, you don't push back at the writer at the New York Times. You go to the CEO level and you go after because those guys, they, they attach. and their cocktail parties, and they don't want their face and their name, uh, banyed about.
Starting point is 00:53:55 So people are saying, geez, I don't know, Tug Parker. I mean, you hear he took $10 million while I laid off 19,000, uh, employees. They don't like that at all. Well, they love the positive press they got when they cozyed up to woke politicians and woke activists. So we're not the one that made this personal. They are. Uh, they wanted to distract from their own failings, their own subs, the subsistization of their
Starting point is 00:54:18 eight figure paycheck by the American, taxpayer in the case of Doug Parker. And so we're here to tell them, you know, we have a simple message to your corporation that's considering trying to distract from your own failings, the mistreatment of your customers by closing up to woke politicians or taking positions on legislation you're nothing about. This is an ongoing campaign. We're not to let you get away with it.
Starting point is 00:54:40 We're going to name and shame. And you've done three corporations, any other corporations that you're considering. Well, as I said, this is this is phase one of an ongoing campaign. Phase two, we'd be happy to come back and talk about that when we're ready to launch. What would the best way for one of these CEOs to avoid being the subject of one of your ads? What would it be the best practice for them to do to make sure that they're not the subject? Exactly. That's a great question.
Starting point is 00:55:08 And it's a very simple thing. Just focus on your customers. Focus on making quality, healthy products free from the taint of the potential force. labor being in your production chain. And if you do that and you stop taking positions on legislation, you know nothing about that's not germane to your business, then you have nothing to worry about from the Consumer First initiative because we're out here defending the consumer. And if you're focused on serving them, you're not a problem.
Starting point is 00:55:33 But if you're trying to distract from your mistreatment of your customers, then you need to worry about us. So in other words, you'd be safe if you ran a company that didn't do any slave labor anywhere in the world. You didn't take a position on legislation and you made a healthy problem. products, but you were still running woke seminars that they were teaching, you know, that white people are bad. Would you still be safe? Well, I think that's a reference to Coca-Cola. And as you probably know, they, you know, some, some part of their, you know, staff communications, including the line called, I think, told their staff to be less white. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:12 Which is, of course, a disgusting and bigoted message. We don't do labor issues. We're a consumer protection organization, but I wouldn't. say in that context, it does read questions about the quality control at a food company, that their quality control for communications, the staff would allow something so disgusting and racist does that message just sneak through? Will, you're my favorite person of the day, and wear that either as a badge of shame or a badge of honor, but I love what you guys are doing. Thank you so much. Appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:56:44 All right. Executive Director of Consumersresearch. by the way he's an attorney he was trained it as an attorney and he is attorney um i don't know what was said about him on uh on cnbc but that's what he that's what he does and uh makes me feel actually better that he's an attorney because we know all the charges he knows exactly what he can and cannot say in those commercials you uh i urge you to go to consumers research dot org and uh download their ads post them everywhere, watch them on YouTube, rate and comment on them, and spread the word. Today I would love to see trending.
Starting point is 00:57:27 What was his name again? Doug Parker. Hashtag Doug Parker. Why? Hashtag American Airlines. Why? I'd love to see that trending today. You can do it now yourself.
Starting point is 00:57:40 Just go on to Twitter or wherever hashtag. are accepted. Let me tell you about our commercial sponsor. It is relief factor. Life is often incredibly busy. You don't have the time to be held back from living it because of pain. Most of the pain that we suffer, especially on a regular basis, is caused by inflammation in our joints.
Starting point is 00:58:03 And if you've ever had it, you know exactly what I mean. Inflammation is something, you know, well, I'm going to bring out the big guns. I'm going to, have you ever had ibuprofen 800? because I don't knock you out. No, it won't. I really didn't think Relief Factor would work for me because I've woken up two times on the operating table. They can't keep me down.
Starting point is 00:58:24 It's a little weird and spooky, mainly for the anesthesiologist. But, and so, you know, ibuprofen, I've, Dr. Don't waste the paper in the ink. That won't work on me. So I didn't try Relief Factor because I thought, it's not going to work. Inflammation and ibuprofen.
Starting point is 00:58:42 I don't know. what it is about relief factor and my body, but it works for me. It takes away so much of my pain. It's, it's, it works for 70% of the people. I mean, it's at least 70% of the people who try it, go on to order more. And you'll know if it's going to work in three weeks. That's why they're offering the three week quick start. After three weeks, if it doesn't work for you, don't order anymore. Don't take it anymore. It won't work. Relief factor, just try it. 800, 500, 583, 84. 800, 500,883,884, it's ReliefFactor.com. 10 seconds, station ID.
Starting point is 00:59:27 Oh, yeah. Hey, we've got some good news for you. All the rest of the program, we're going to be showing you people that are actually doing something to push back. In my show prep, I have a section of just, and I just added this like two weeks ago, a section in my, in my show prep. I have, you know, coronavirus, the great. Reset, Violence, MLK, BLM, Marxist, Green New Deal. I have all of these sections. I just added one.
Starting point is 00:59:58 Pushback. And I'm happy to say I'm going to be putting a lot of files into that one just today. You just heard somebody pushing back on these corporations. We have at least two organizations every hour that we're going to share with you. And they are all covering different things. and they all could use your support and just see if one of them appeals to you and it's the thing that you care about. One of the things I really truly care about is the Jewish people and the way we are headed is towards another Holocaust. The Holocaust that happened in Germany was only one of 19 in history.
Starting point is 01:00:49 it happens over and over and over again. It's why we said never again. But we didn't put that into context. We said never again and people think, oh, well, it's never going to happen like it happened in Nazi Germany. It's happened 19 other times in history. People just have this thing about rounding up Jews and trying to kill them. I personally think it's satanic.
Starting point is 01:01:13 But who am I to say? But you're starting to see it. I just had dinner with Dave Rubin just the other day. and he said, this is a week ago. He said, Glenn, I'm really afraid. He said, I can feel it. He said, I feel it in New York and I feel it in L.A. He said, I'm afraid they're going to come and they'll beat Jews in the streets,
Starting point is 01:01:32 that they're just going to start, you know, grabbing us out of our homes or on the streets and just start beating us to death. I don't know if you saw the Jewish man in L.A. chased by two vehicles that were waving Palestinian flags and yelling Al-Aqabar. This is the second one in Los Angeles, and I know, I know. We've got to find out, you know, the most dangerous threat is January 6th. I mean, that was horrible. I think we should spend some time on this.
Starting point is 01:02:04 And I also want to tell anybody who is listening that is Jewish, move to our area in Texas, because I don't care what anyone says. At least I and my family will hide you, will protect you, will stand in front of you. This is not going to happen on my watch. And there is, there are lots of people here that feel that way. Ben Shapiro tweeted this about, is Israel an apartheid state? Here's some other states you might know. Iran has 83 million people there.
Starting point is 01:02:40 How many Jews? 8300. Iraq, 39 million people there. There are four Jews. apparently lived there. Syria, 17 million people, zero Jews. Lebanon, 7 million people, 100 Jews. Saudi Arabia, 34 million people, zero Jews.
Starting point is 01:02:59 Jordan, 10 million people, zero Jews. Egypt, 100 million people. There are 10 Jews, apparently, who live there. That's amazing. Gaza, 2 million people, zero Jews. Palestinian Authority, 2.7 million people, zero Jews. In Israel, there's 9 million people, 1.9 million Jews with full civil rights. Which one's the apartheid state again?
Starting point is 01:03:19 I've never been more convinced that I'm on the right side of history. I mean, it might all get us killed, but on the right side of history on multiple subjects, mainly this one. This is the Glennian. American financing NMLS 1-8-2334. www. nmLS Consumer Access.org.

For the next hour and a half, we're going to talk to people at different levels on different things that are standing up and asking you to stand with them and to fight back and to push back. I want to introduce you to Mike Davis. He is the founder and president of unsilenced majority. unsilenced majority.org.
Starting point is 01:05:25 You can follow them at unsilenced.org. You can also find them on YouTube. You can follow them there. YouTube.com slash unsilenced majority. Follow them on parlor at unsilenced. org. Facebook on silenced majority. And you can sign up for their newsletter at unsilenced majority.
Starting point is 01:05:46 I'll give those to you again if you hear Mike and you think I want to be a part of that. Mike, welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Thank you for having, Matt. So tell me what unsilenced majority is. New conservative nonprofit group. I'm leading this along with Will Chamberlain from human events and Andy Sarabian from Don Jr.'s political team. And Ian Pryor, who worked for the Trump Justice Department,
Starting point is 01:06:21 we are just, we are fighting back against the woke mobs in cancel culture. We're tired of it. We're tired of people being silenced. We're tired of people being censored. We're tired of people being clicked off of big tech platforms censored, fired from their jobs, kicked out of schools. We're just tired of cancel culture. We think it's, we think it's a danger to America. It's un-American and we're fighting back.
Starting point is 01:06:47 We're going to try to give people a voice to fight back against this. nonsense. So you, just so people know who you are, you were the chief counsel for nominations to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley. You played a big role in the nominations of judges that I would assume that Trump put in and really changed the course of America. Do I have that right? Yeah, that's correct. I'm from Iowa originally, and I worked for Chairman Chuck Grassley last Congress from 2017 to 2019. We helped President Trump transform the federal judiciary. I also was a law court for Justice Neil Borsuch, and I was the staff leader for the Me Too fight against then-Judge Kavanaugh, and we won that fight. Wow, good for you. Okay, so now what are you
Starting point is 01:07:41 planning on doing? How do you fight back without becoming cancel culture yourself? Well, I, well, I, What I think we want to do like we did with the Me Too fight, the problem with conservatives, the problem with Republicans is they just, you know, they sit back and take it. I think that's the wrong approach. We think that's the wrong approach to an unsilenced majority. So what we need to do to stop cancel culture is give the left, the Marxist left, these woke mobs, give them a dose of their own medicine, like we did with Me Too. We saw this with the then candidate Joe Biden when he,
Starting point is 01:08:18 got a dose of Me Too when people pointed out that Tara Reid accused him of sexual assault on his staff when he was the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman. When we pointed out others were, you know, were alleged to have sexually assaulted women in the workplace. You notice how Me Too went away or largely went away. So the Democrats want to weaponize Me Too against Republicans. they want to weaponize cancel culture against conservatives and Republicans, so we need to give them a dose of their own medicine. And so it goes away. So where do you think the tender spot is?
Starting point is 01:08:57 Where do it without giving away anything? Where, I mean, how do you approach cancel culture? We think cancel culture is wrong. We think it's un-American. Like we said, I think it's Marxist driven. And so we see examples. We saw like this Matthew Lowe-Meyer is a, lieutenant colonel in the space force. And he was just relieved of his command by the Biden Pentagon
Starting point is 01:09:27 because he wrote a book about Marxism infiltrating the military. And he went on a podcast to discuss that book. He was essentially canceled. He lost his job over this. We saw this with Dr. Scott Atlas, a Stanford medical professor, a Stanford medical doctor on the Trump coronavirus task force who has been talking for a year about how these stay home orders, these COVID stay home orders are not following the science, not following the data, and they're actually a cure that's much more, much worse than the disease. You have people who are committing suicide, depression, you have people dying because they're not getting their cancer screenings. He's been sounding the alarm for months. And what happened? You saw the big tech monopolist, Twitter, Facebook,
Starting point is 01:10:15 Apple, Amazon, and especially Google with YouTube and Google search. And you see these big tech monopolists, they kicked them off these big tech platforms. They canceled them for this. So what we want to be able to do is organize everyday Americans across this country to be able to engage, to be able to fight back, whether it's our own boycotts to counter their boycotts, whether it's contacting these executives at these big tech platforms. whether it's contacting executives at woke corporations like Coca-Cola or Delta or Major League Baseball, contacting Congress and really fighting back, taking up the gloves and punching back against these woke moms. Well, we have been asking for a conservative, the GOP in particular, when are you going to fight back?
Starting point is 01:11:06 Why do you just keep taking it and folding? So I agree with that. But, I mean, if you've read Cheryl Atkinson's book on, you know, the cancellation in the media, her first chapter is about how it was really organized and institutionalized with me in the Fox days. And they, I mean, I can't tell you how many millions of dollars. It was estimated at one point, $100 million on the left was spent to just discredit and destroy me. I'm still standing, but it would have been a lot different if, we were fighting fire with fire, but conservatives don't like boycotts.
Starting point is 01:11:47 They don't like doing those things. How do you convince them to do it? I tell Republicans pretend like these Democrats have canceled your tea time at your country club, and that will get them really, really fired up. They get very angry. When do you talk about things like that? No, we just, we need to, you know, listen, I always say that two wrongs don't make it right. but it makes it even.
Starting point is 01:12:12 We need to start fighting fire with fire. You know, otherwise, we're going to, we are going to lose our voice. We're going to lose our country to these woke mobs, to these Marxist woke mobs. We need to fight back to save our country. Yeah. And it's really the ideas behind our country that they're challenging. I mean, if you can't debate things, if you can't talk about things, if you can't ask an honest question and say, well, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, this is Marxism.
Starting point is 01:12:40 wait a minute, hold on just a second. You're saying the only way to fix racism is to introduce another kind of racism. If you're canceled because of that, we lose all freedom. And we're there because I know people who have kids in school who are terrified to say anything because of what they fear might happen to their kids. I mean, that's absolutely right. I mean, think about this. if these woke mobs in big tech,
Starting point is 01:13:13 if these woke mobs in Congress, of these woke mobs in academia, if they can cancel, if they can de-platform a sitting president of the United States, think about what they can do to the rest of us. There is strength in numbers. So what is it that you would like the grassroots of America to do if they believe cancer,
Starting point is 01:13:37 cancer, cancel culture is a cancer on our society. What are you asking people to do? What we want people to do right now is we are building our brand and awareness. We just started on Monday. And so what we want people to do is go sign up for, go sign up for our newsletter on our website. Follow us on the website, like you said, was unsilenced majority.org. Follow us on Twitter, unsilenced org, unsilensed org. Follow us on Facebook, follow us on YouTube, and be ready to engage because we're going to start punching back and punching back hard.

Thank you, Mike. Thank you, Glenn. God bless. Founder and president of Unsilenced Majority, Mike Davis. I'm going to give you the addresses that I, that I,

Starting point is 01:15:22 Because if good men do nothing, evil wins. And then you're standing there alone and you're like, well, I'm fighting. And this is really, really good. Hey, do we have the Andrew Cuomo music? We die. We need a little Andrew Cuomo. Hey, butter bing! So everybody's talking about this smart grilling stuff.
Starting point is 01:15:45 Well, let me tell you about smart grilling. And if you don't believe me, you ask my brother, because he's done a lot of investigation on that, too. You know what I'm? A lot of you get asked, a lot of questions about, hey, did you kill a bunch of grandmas? Or how come all these broads come claiming you touched them inappropriately? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:16:07 Duh. Well, they grill. You know, you stay smart. You don't say nothing. You just write a bestseller. You sit back and you watch all the money roll in while you're cooking up something great on the grill. You know what I'm saying? Nah.

Starting point is 01:17:25 This is a Glenbeck program. It is Friday. Hello, my friend. I am so excited in just a few minutes. About an hour from now, going over next door to Mercury 1 to the new American Journey Center, which is all about education of history. We cut the ribbon on it, I think on what Tuesday. And this is the first step towards a major library and museum that will be here in Texas.
Starting point is 01:18:05 And it's, we have 300 people coming over today to spend today and, tomorrow, families, adults, kids, learning about American history in a way that you'll never, ever see again. It is with the vault, which next week will contain the largest group of documents and artifacts from the Mayflower and the Pilgrims, also Jamestown. And thanks to our many don't. owners at Mercury 1 who are helping invest in the future in our history, we were able to buy that. And we were, the Smithsonian wanted it.
Starting point is 01:18:53 And luckily, the guy who sold it to us feels the same way about the Smithsonian kind of, I think, that we do. He was afraid that if it was in government hands, it might get buried or not seen. And it will be seen here and it will be used to educate here. The next one we do, we were going to do these online about a month ago, but we thought, let's get them right before we put them online. Let's make sure that they're the easiest to watch and to learn for the whole family. So we think maybe after this one we'll be ready to have everybody watch it. It'll be free for you. And the next one, you'll be able to sign up and come and be a part of it live.
Starting point is 01:19:39 You just go to Mercury 1.org. Mercury 1.org. You can go there. You can sign up for that. Also, our leadership conference, which is for 18 to 24-year-old adults. We have two of those two-week intensive history lessons for anybody who is college age. It will, if your kids, we're very selective on who comes because we want to really train the leaders. so the leaders can then train the people who are kind of faltering.
Starting point is 01:20:14 So we're looking and very selective on who comes. But you come for two weeks and we're looking for the people that will the next year be our interns and the year after that start to work for us. And as teachers, I mean, it's a really great thing. Also one other thing that we're doing now at the AJA Center, the American Journey Experience, We are also doing a teachers training. And this is for teachers and we'll be doing it during the summer.
Starting point is 01:20:46 If you are a teacher and you want to learn how to find the truth about American history, we don't tell you what the truth is. We show you the truth. You'll be able to hold the documents that prove the truth. We have over 120,000 documents just. from the founding era, we are only surpassed by the National Archives and the Library of Congress. So it's not our word. You know, if you've got another document that could show that, no, this one beats that document.
Starting point is 01:21:24 Otherwise, we're going not for some guy who lived 150 years later. We're going for their words. What was their intent? What actually happened in their words? You can find all of it at Mercury 1.com. And I thank every single person who has ever given a dime to Mercury 1. Thank you because we're about to really change history. Let me tell you about real estate agents.
Starting point is 01:21:55 I trust.com. Stu is in the greatest situation. He has a house that I'm just going to say bought for his mom. Thank God. You're a good son. And it wasn't the right thing. So he had to sell the house. And that usually is bad.
Starting point is 01:22:15 But in a buyer's market, or I mean a seller's market like it is now, we won't have a complete catastrophe, which is all I'm rooting for these days. And so he needs a real estate agent that knows how to, because there's a bidding war going on. You know, do I hear at 250? Do I hear a 275? I'm a 300, 300, 300, 300. Do I have two, three 75? 375. I mean, it's crazy what's happening here. In this moment in this market, you really have to have the right agent to know what is going on.
Starting point is 01:22:46 You do. You do. On either side, if you're in a state that sucks or a state that is like Texas, real estate agents, I trust.com. The name says it all. We will help you find the right real estate agent. Real estate agents, I trust.com. All right. Last hour of the week. Next. Hello America. Glad you're here today. It is a great day to be listening to this program because we are offering solutions for you. Last hour, we talked about the corporations that have all gone woke. How do you help there?
Starting point is 01:23:57 What do you do? Well, we talked to the executive director of Consumers Research. comersresearch.org. And you've got to go back and listen to the podcast. and hear that interview. They are taking a hard stand, and they're going to do something I think is very effective. Just check it out at Consumers Research.org.
Starting point is 01:24:19 Also, last hour, we talked about the cancel culture, and there is a new organization that is just being put together, and we kind of had its outing, if you will, today on the program. It is the unsilenced majority. These are the people that are really upset about the Ketka, Council Culture and they are doing something about it. You can follow them on Parlor at Unsilensed org or just watch their YouTube videos at Unsilenced Majority and you can find them at unsilencedmajority.org If that's your thing. This hour, we're going to talk about the out of control spending and debt.
Starting point is 01:25:02 Is there anything happening on the grassroots level? Yes, there is. Something big. We'll get into that this hour. also critical race theory. How can you as an average parent do anything? I'm going to introduce you to our next guest. She's done something and it's incredible. And we'll talk to her in 60 seconds. It's Friday. Oh, that's my time to talk. Let me tell you about our commercial sponsorship. It's blinds.com. I get excited when I hear the words up to 35%. I like that. I like that. It's it's kind of exciting. It's kind of like, oh,

Starting point is 01:25:53 this is like two and a half years ago, three years ago, we were looking for something. And she was looking at other sites and she started looking on blinds.com and I got home and she said, look at the money we're saving by going to blinds.com.

So my staff tells me I am going to love Robin Steenman. She is with Moms for Liberty, which makes me like her already. Robin, welcome to the program. Hi, Glenn. How are you?
Starting point is 01:27:48 Very good. Now, you're in Tennessee. I am. Okay. And you just started Moms for Liberty? I started the Williamson County chapter of Moms for Liberty on April 6th. Okay. And what brought you there or what are you guys doing? What brought me there was your show, actually. I heard about Mons for Liberty on your show on March 1st. And when they talk to you, they had seven chapters in three states.
Starting point is 01:28:18 And also on your show, I heard Dr. Wynian Wu speak from the Californians for equal rights. Isn't she great? She is amazing. I'm so impressed with her. Yeah. And she was telling us all about the California's new ethnic studies curriculum. So three months later, Yen Yian Woo is coming to Franklin, Tennessee to speak to our now 1,100 strong
Starting point is 01:28:44 Williamson County chapter of Moms for Liberty at our CRT 101 event. 1,100 members in your county? Yes. Good for you, Robin. Good for you. Good for you. I just want to give you credit and gratitude
Starting point is 01:29:03 because your words matter. You talk about a line in the sand. Where's your line? Well, the Williamson County School Board and our superintendent Jason Golden crossed that line for me. when they hired a diversity, equity and inclusion firm to make policy for our students. And that's when I, armed with the knowledge that you gave me, I moved to action. And so you have 1,100 moms in your county.
Starting point is 01:29:27 That's got to be a... Moms and mad dads. It's got to be a large number showing up to the PTA or the school board meetings. We, yes. Yes. have you announced your presence at the school board and have you seen any changes yet or are you just at the beginning of this? We're in the middle of it really. The crucial point is going to be about the third week in June when this stuff is up for a vote.
Starting point is 01:29:59 But the needle has moved already. We've been meeting with every single school board meeting, just pockets of their constituents. And I've been present at each meeting. And we're explaining to them what diversity, equity, inclusion really is. and do you really understand what you're voting for? And you should also understand that it's not a good idea. Okay, so your next event, you haven't had, you haven't had Ms. Wu in yet, have you?
Starting point is 01:30:30 Wenian Wu? She was here on Wednesday. On Wednesday this week. Our CRT 101 event was Wednesday. And she and several others, Robbie Starbuck, Dr. Gary Thompson, and Dr. Beth Myers all address the parents of Williamson County to educate them about TRT, how to define it, how to articulate it, and how to push back against it. That is fantastic.
Starting point is 01:30:52 Just fantastic. And did you have anybody show up that wasn't sure that what you were talking about was real? Did you change any minds that night or were those all people that already knew? There was a gentleman that came forward in our panel question and answer session. and wasn't convinced. And the panel of speakers really took the time to explain the concepts to him. And he seemed to, he seemed to change his mind.
Starting point is 01:31:24 That is great. That is great. Well, keep up the hard work. And if there is anything that we can do for you, Robin, or if there's any moms for liberty out there, groups that we can help you,
Starting point is 01:31:35 um, you just let us know, um, because you guys are going to be the ones that stop critical race theory. I read a story yesterday. You see this, Stu, that 20 states now have laws against it. They've now passed laws saying, nope, it's not going to be taught in our schools. And I saw that and I thought, only 20.
Starting point is 01:32:00 And then my next thought was, I mean, there should be 45 states with that law passed. And then I thought, no, there should be 50. There should be 50. And we're not even at half yet. there's a lot of education that needs to happen and you on the right closest to your school are going to be the ones that make the impact. Robin, thank you so much for calling. Thank you. Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:32:29 I listened to your earlier show and I heard the Consumersresearch.org and I had it pitch for you. Okay. Well, we actually have anti-CRT legislation on the governor's desk and there seems to be a delay in signing it. Really? My pitch. Right. To Bill Lee and to Jason Golden, our superintendent,
Starting point is 01:32:53 how about serve your students? Stop serving the woke left lobby. Excellent. Excellent. Hashtag. What's your governor's name? Bill Lee. Bill Lee.
Starting point is 01:33:04 Hashtag Bill Lee. Why? Why are you serving the woke left over your students? That's great. Robin, thank you so much. God bless. Thank you, Glenn. You bet. That's amazing in Tennessee that they can't get the governor to sign that.
Starting point is 01:33:21 Bill Lee, shame on you. Well, yeah, let's see. I mean, who knows? You never know of these things. Might be a big desk. Might be on a corner. He's looking for it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:29 And he's like, where is it? These are very large desks. I didn't look all the way over there on that part of my desk. It's a very big desk. You're right, Stu. I'm glad we, I'm glad we cleared that up. By the way, something else on CRT. Vody Bachman has been on this program before.
Starting point is 01:33:48 He is an American born, I think, in Watts. He grew up in one of the worst places in L.A. He had a very strong mother. And she said, you're going to do something with your life. And he has. He's a doctor of religion, I think. He was a pastor. He is now running a university in,
Starting point is 01:34:12 Africa. He left because about 10 years ago, he started speaking out against critical race theory. This guy was on this long before, and he's black. And so the left did everything they could to destroy him. Well, he just recently, he was supposed to be here this week so we could have him on a podcast live in person. But he just had quadruple bypass surgery. He's doing really, really well. And thank God, because his voice is so important. His voice, he is so clear on what critical race theory is and how to fight it. He has done decades of research on it. He's been following it for a very long time. Absolutely hero, this guy. Oh, hero. Hero. I mean, he's being called every name under the sun. But I want you to hear this podcast. It's available now at
Starting point is 01:35:11 blazTV.com slash Glenn. Use the promo code Glenn and save. But it'll come out tomorrow on YouTube. Also, wherever you get your podcast, it'll be out tomorrow at some point. I asked him, how do you talk to your kids? Because my daughter said, you know, this is like eight months ago, my daughter said, dad, it's not good enough to be against racism or to not be a racist. You have to be anti-racist.
Starting point is 01:35:41 Anti-racism is a key word, and I asked him, how do you deal with that? I'll give you his answer in 60 seconds. First, our sponsor is Goldline.

Well, as you see, Bitcoin is what, down 30 to 35,000 now?
Starting point is 01:36:25 I think I saw 37 last time. It's been a roller coaster. Right. And the government is starting to come out against it. And it, I mean, it might be worth nothing. It might be worth a million dollars a coin. I don't know. But I do know this. Gold is the thing that the world, always runs back to. China is already putting all their gold reserves up. They have spent a lot of money just stockpiling gold because they want to be the world's reserve currency. Russia is also stockpiling gold. China is actually buying gold mines.

Starting point is 01:37:55 10 seconds, station ID. All right. So yesterday in my podcast, I spent some time with Voddy Bakum. And I asked him to explain anti-racism. Listen. Anti-racism, and this is popularized really by Ibram Kendi in his book, How to Be an anti-racist. And Kendi argues that the opposite of racism is not racist. The opposite of racism is anti-racism. And here's what he means by that. When you see racism as systemic, not personal
Starting point is 01:38:46 animosity, as we would see from a biblical perspective, from a tradition, perspective, right? It is the hatred of a person, despising a person, looking down on a person because of their particular race or ethnicity. No, no, no. Kendi and the critical race theorists are arguing that racism is systemic. So you see disparate outcomes. You know, and whenever you see disparate or unequal outcomes, you are seeing the product of systemic racism. Now, in the tradition, sense if racism is hatred of another person because of their race, then what I want to be is not racist. I don't want to have hatred towards another person in my heart because of that person's race. But if racism is systemic, then if you're just not hating people, but you're not tearing
Starting point is 01:39:42 down the system that is creating disparities, then not racist is actually racist. And you've got to to move beyond that to anti-racism, which means that you're constantly problematizing, right, being critical in the oppressor-oppressed, you know, mode, and looking for areas in the system that are creating disparate or unequal outcomes and fighting against that in order to get equal outcomes. So that's why Nelson Menace. Mandela, Martin Luther King, can now be called racists. Yeah, Frederick Douglass. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 01:40:30 Yeah, they definitely can't. It's amazing. You know, this whole idea, we started, you know, tearing down statues and whatnot. There's no end to that. There's no end to that. I chuckled recently as a school, I think, in Chicago, was considering renaming itself. after Barack Obama.
Starting point is 01:40:53 And they decided not to rename the school because Obama didn't do enough for illegal immigrants. Now, listen, if Obama's not woke enough for you, nobody is. Nobody is. And that's the point. Nobody is. Because you can always find some other intersection, if you will,
Starting point is 01:41:17 and press at that point. and you can problemize anything. It is a fascinating conversation. He knows it. He knows the history of it. We talk about it. You will understand the CRT movement, the critical race movement, like you've never understood. If you don't, if you have no idea really what it's about, you will.
Starting point is 01:41:39 You can come at this as somebody who knows nothing about it. You can also come to it with, you know, I have a fair knowledge about it. and I understood it much better after talking to him. By the way, he's also wrote the book Fault Lines, Fault Lines, the Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism's looming catastrophe. He says the church is done. If the church doesn't understand what critical race theory is or any critical theory, he said, if you don't know what that is and you have it, that infection, it is cancer and your church will fall. ball and be part of the problem.
Starting point is 01:42:21 He's very, very clear. You can find that podcast available everywhere tomorrow, or you can find it right now, if you're a member of Blaze TV. Oh, man. We're trying to highlight people that have made a difference. In a few minutes, I'm going over to Mercury 1 to teach 300 students about the history of America with David Barton. and his son.
Starting point is 01:42:50 It's a two-day lesson, so I'll be in there for two solid days. And I can't wait to meet the students, and these are families and kids and adults. But also before that, I have a meeting right after this show with Richard Paul Evans. He's the guy who wrote the Christmas box, which sold, I don't even know, 10 million copies. He also wrote the Michael Vase here. with us and I partnered with him on Michael Vey and it's the 10 year anniversary of Michael Vey. That is a, I don't even know, five, 10 million copies have sold already of Michael Vey. And it's such a great book.
Starting point is 01:43:39 And he was talking about all of the people, all the kids that have read it that have been changed. And they love the characters. and the main character has Tourette's. They all have something they're made fun of in school. It's a great book. Even as an adult, I loved this book. Really smart. Holds values true.
Starting point is 01:44:01 It's great. Rave, I said to him the other day, I said, I'm trying to convince Richard Paul Evans to write another one as the rest of the world is trying to make him write another one. And he said, can we read it together? he was six when we started reading these, six or seven. And he is now a 16-year-old boy, and he still wants to read Michael Vey. It is a great series.
Starting point is 01:44:33 If you've not read it, start it with your kids. Just look it up, Michael Vey. Apparently, I think, that sold more than Cuomo's book. I'm not sure on that. We'll have to check, but it may have. Raycon is our sponsor this half hour. It means summer is here. You're going to be outside.

Starting point is 01:46:28 If you missed any of this program, go back and listen to the podcast wherever you get your podcast. The corporations going woke, fighting against it. We talked to an organization that is fantastic and what they're planning on doing. Also, the cancel culture, another organization that has just popped up, they're going to fight the cancel culture thing. Then CRT, we gave you just a few minutes ago, two ways where you can fight as a parent. in your local community against critical race theory. Now, how about the debt? But people don't understand is the government is buying up land.
Starting point is 01:47:11 They have a 30 by 30 goal under the Biden administration. You can look it up on the White House website. It's under the America the beautiful statement. And you will see they have a plan of owning 30%. of all America of all of America to protect it. That means they're not going to be having you drill oil there. They're not going to have you use BLM land. They're protecting it.
Starting point is 01:47:42 And this is absolutely unconstitutional. But they're doing that at the same time. They're spending us into oblivion. We will be slaves to this debt. I think we are already. but the taxes and whatever is coming our way, they're going to have to destroy the dollar and reset the dollar.
Starting point is 01:48:05 Now, the president of Americans for Prosperity is with us. His name is Tim Phillips, and he is working on a grassroots organization on Stop the Spending Spree. You can find that at stopthespendingsprie.com. Tim, welcome. Good morning, Glenn. So glad that you're here.
Starting point is 01:48:23 Is anything that I said about the dollar, I mean, roughly, I'm sure we disagree on finer points, but do you see a way out for the dollar to remain the reserve currency of the world if we continue down this road? There's no way. At some point, we're going to reach a tipping point. We're already seeing tremors, Glenn, the inflation that we're already seeing in the first 100 days of this administration, the anemic jobs reports two months in a row at a time when those job creation, Glenn, should be exploding. A lot of that is the spending, overheated spending that the government is doing. And there's, I mean, you're exactly right. This would be the biggest recovery of all time, the fastest and biggest recovery.
Starting point is 01:49:16 I think Donald Trump, I worried that that V-shaped recovery. wouldn't happen. I think it would have if the government was out of our way. Yes. Yeah, it was already happening. No question about that, Glenn. And when you look at the $1.9 trillion, they just spent a few weeks ago, the 2.3 in this, and I'm doing air quotes.
Starting point is 01:49:39 You can't see me, but I'm doing air quotes, the infrastructure bill with the tax increases thrown into that. And don't forget, a nearly almost another $2 trillion. on what the universal pre-K and the free community college all told together another $4 trillion approximately that they're already proposing Pelosi, Biden, and Schumer. It is an absolute tipping point. We're going to lose this reserve currency. We're going to see inflation.
Starting point is 01:50:13 You know, I was a young boy in the late 70s, so I don't really remember it, Glenn. I remember because my folks were in business for themselves. and I remember them talking about 18% interest rates. I mean, we can't do an 18% loan. They're killing us. Now, and think about this. We've had artificially low interest rates. At some point, even if the Fed tries to keep them low,
Starting point is 01:50:42 with inflation exploding, if that continues, Glenn, we're going to see interest rates go up because the market's going to drive, even if the Fed tries to stop it. And that means the servicing the debt we already have and that we're piling up by the trillions right now, it'll eat up an even bigger portion of the federal budget. That's what we're looking out here. We had, I think it was 7.6 was the Fed rate in the early 80s or late 70s, right around there. If we had a 7.5% interest rate today, it would be about $2 trillion.
Starting point is 01:51:19 just in the servicing of the debt, $2 trillion, our whole budget is three. That's right. No way out. So what we're talking about here is a spiral that could literally wipe out this economy of ours. I don't think that's an exaggeration. Certainly our prosperity and freedom
Starting point is 01:51:40 would be wiped out or curtailed. So it's a crucial moment for the country right now on the spending and size of government. It's going to be hard with forbearance, with the, if you understand what the government did and forbearance and what that's going to mean to renters and people who own their houses who haven't paid the rent or the mortgage for a while, I think you're going to have a lot of people that are going to be ready for the government to give them yet another handout. the Republicans are almost useless in Washington. How are you going to convince the American people that this has got to stop? The media is not going to help us. We know that.
Starting point is 01:52:30 The dominant media. Sadly, the corporate culture, and you were just talking about what's happening there with this woke and the woke move, and frankly the drift toward a partnership with government rather than freedom among a lot of big business, sadly, sadly to say that. What we're doing in Americans for Prosperity is a congressional district by congressional district march to build grassroots support awareness to go after, in a constructive way, to go after this infrastructure bill to make sure that we're delivering tens upon tens of
Starting point is 01:53:06 thousands of individualized contacts to these members' offices. Because here's what we're finding. The first three, four months of this new Congress, They've been able to run through in the House of Representatives some extreme legislation. I know you've covered it, this election bill, the Pro Act, so much else, under the radar screen. And so on this infrastructure bill, we know we've got the summer ahead of us, the late spring and summer, to raise awareness. So we're doing rallies, events, and backing them with follow-up advertising and further community efforts and the goal of literally driving tens upon tens of thousands of Americans to call their House members
Starting point is 01:53:46 because that's where this next spending bill originate. They all originated in the House, but that's the fulcrum right now. And here's the thing. We're only talking about needing to flip, I believe, roughly a dozen, dozen and a half Democrats on this big tax and spend package. And so we've got to make sure the Republicans are feeling pressure because you're right on spending, they have been a disaster, Glenn. You know that.
Starting point is 01:54:11 You've documented it. They've been a disaster. So left to their own devices, they will drift away. So we've got to make sure we maintain pressure on them that they don't get a free pass here. That is suddenly the Democrats are in a jam on this infrastructure bill and they announce, you know what? We're going to do a bipartisan skinny infrastructure. Instead of 2.3, we'll only spend a trillion two or a trillion three more.
Starting point is 01:54:35 Didn't, didn't, what's his name? Turtlehead. McConnell, didn't McConnell already say that he was going to do that? They have already started talking about that. And so that's why it's not only the Democrats. We're also making sure. And here's the thing, Glenn, some of the most rock-ribbed Republican House members on the Second Amendment or on life issues or on other issues, when it comes to spending and the size of government,
Starting point is 01:55:05 they just go wobbly or not even wobbly. They just lose their way. That's why I know you may be listening today and you may be thinking your listeners, hey, my house member is great. Don't assume that. Make sure that if they're a Republican, you're calling them and you're saying literally,
Starting point is 01:55:20 hey, I don't want to see this $2.3 trillion tax and spend infrastructure. I don't want to see a supposed skinny infrastructure at a trillion one or a trillion two. Our nation can't afford it. They've already appropriated so much money anyway. They can readjust. They can adjust some of the money they've already appropriated to focus on roads and bridges, which is a core function of government.
Starting point is 01:55:42 So that's why we're asking people, make sure your House member is locked in and feeling your feelings, your beliefs on this. Yes, we've got a few dozen Democrat districts. I was just in, I'm still in Dallas, by the way. I was in Congressman Allredge District in the Dallas suburbs last. night for a big event at the museum of biblical art. Great crowd of folks there kicking off the pressure effort to move him away from Pelosi on this. I was in the Detroit suburbs two days earlier, Glenn, and Slotkin, Congresswoman, Slotkin's district in Oakland County. Yeah, we've got our
Starting point is 01:56:19 targets that we think are the most, you know, the Democrats in these swing districts that we do think we can move. But we're asking listeners, your listeners, which are such a potent force to not assume their own house member. Even a lot of Republicans who were good on so many, you know, other issues on spending, they just go south. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the water in Washington, Glenn. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:56:42 I don't get it. But Republicans, this is the biggest issue where they fall short, in my view, is government spending and the size of government. Okay. So how can our listeners get involved and help? besides making sure that they're congressman. Yeah, that's the first thing. But what else can they do?
Starting point is 01:57:03 We're going to be doing a lot of social media on our Facebook page. You can go to Americans for Prosperity on Facebook or the Stop the Spending Spree website. Go to that site and we'll cue you in to events that are coming up when they're in your area. Turn folks out. Or frankly, Glenn, in Dallas last night, we had folks that were driving over from us. other districts just to be a part of this so they could go back to there. We had a group from San Angelo, a long drive, as you know, across last night, coming to this event last night because they said, hey, look, we want to go back home.
Starting point is 01:57:38 We want to show our support in this all red district, but we're going back home tonight when this is over. And our Republican rep out there, we're going to start a group right here on Stop the Spending Spree that is getting emails and calls and contacts into these House members. everyone has a social media footprint just about these days, whether it's Instagram, Facebook, Miwi, whatever it is. There's so many platforms. Parlor is back up, so many. Make sure that you're using those platforms to tell your friends and allies out there, hey, it's a big
Starting point is 01:58:08 moment. Talk to your member about this infrastructure bill, about all this spending. Tell them to vote no and make sure whether the Republican or Democrat, you're delivering that message. You can't just say, oh, it's only these 27 or 30 Democrats we've got to worry about. candidly, it's every member. Oh, it is. He's right. Senator McConnell
Starting point is 01:58:26 was wobbly on this or he's already talking about some kind of skinny bill. Even members that you may be going, oh, they're good on pretty much every issue. Maybe they are. A lot of them are. On spending, it's not true. They're just, they're almost all bad. So,
Starting point is 01:58:41 use your networks, your personal footprints. Go to these events. You can hit this website. You'll see the events upcoming for us. For example, Monday I'm going to be in Florida on one of the Gulf Coast districts there. It's a national effort, but locally focused on your house member. All right. Tim Phillips, the president of Americans for Prosperity, you can find them at Americans for Prosperity. You can also go to stop thespending spree.com. If this is your issue,
Starting point is 01:59:11 I mean, we can't, every issue can't be mine. You can support by attending these things. But if this is your issue, organize and reach out to them. They will help you. Make sure that your district has the right person in Congress. This is vital for our survival. Stop the Spending Spree.com. Tim, thank you so much. We'll talk again. Yes, sir, Glenn.
Starting point is 01:59:35 God bless. Life lock. Here's a fun thing for you to know. Only about 5% of cybercriminals out there get caught. 5%. Many of them commit thousands of cybercrimes each, sometimes hundreds of thousands each. If you're one of those people, who thinks it never happened to me.
Starting point is 01:59:56 No, that's what the cyber criminals think. I'm never going to get caught, and that's mostly true. Cybercrime is a popular thing. It's on the rise, and it is time for you to get life lock. It is important to understand that cyber crime and identity theft will affect your life. Now, there is one group that has been out there. I think they invented this category back in the 90s.
Starting point is 02:00:17 I used to make fun of them. You want my Social Security number. Here it is. You know, it was like, it was crazy back. in the 80s and 90s, nobody had an idea. They were way ahead and they still are. Now, nobody can stop all cybercrime from happening to you, but they are not only the best, they will see the things that most people will miss.

He apparently was advising his brother on his ability to ignore his sexual harassment complaints
Starting point is 02:01:11 against him and that he should stay in office and this has become a bit of a controversy. But is it a surprise in any way to anyone? Remember back when the pandemic began, Chris Cuomo requested to interview his brother the guy running the response for the biggest catastrophe in the world with coronavirus. Just that. Just that's an act of journalistic malpractice.
Starting point is 02:01:37 Just asking to interview your brother in that situation. The consequences from CNN? Nothing. Then he brought him on the air. Did he ask him any tough questions at all? No, they had silly skits together the entire time. Consequences from CNN? Nothing.
Starting point is 02:01:55 then when things started going bad publicly, they were always going bad privately, but things going bad publicly for Andrew Cuomo, he refused to cover it. Consequences from CNN? Nothing. So why wouldn't he advise his brother about the sexual harassment complaints? Why wouldn't he do that? What would he possibly expect was going to happen from CNN? Everything he's done has been met with zero consequences. And what has happened now that he was caught, not by CNN, but by the Washington Post, advising Andrew Cuomo about his sexual harassment complaints?
Starting point is 02:02:43 The consequences from CNN? Nothing. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. They treat this guy like he's a freaking rock star. He's a guy with no ratings and no talent. and they treat him as if he is the man. Well, it's going to continue to happen
Starting point is 02:03:01 because the consequences from CNN over and over again are nothing.
