Starting point is 00:00:00 60% of the vans on Amazon come a vendor independent like Sac Magic. Hello, here Camille of Sac Magic. Our compresses, show of fraud are fabriced in Quebec, and our presence on Amazon
Starting point is 00:00:09 enlarge our clientele to the world entire. Trouve of little enterprises like on our own.com. You never thought COVID could cost you your home. It could do that though. I mean, cybercrime is up 75% over the past year
Starting point is 00:00:22 and by far, by far the most serious cybercrime to worry about his home title theft. You know, people can, I had someone once buy a Papa John's pizza on my credit card in Arizona. I thought that was just a weird thing. Like if you're going to steal someone's credit card,
Starting point is 00:00:35 why you have one Papa John's pizza? At least get eight Papa John's pizzas. Why would you get one? I am. You know, I would think, well, maybe you're really hungry. Yeah. But blow it on something maybe that you can resell. Yeah, like one time someone else had a credit card of mine.
Starting point is 00:00:52 This is several years apart. But bought like tickets to like a big sporting event. Plus like, you know, spent thousands of dollars at some club. Like, okay, that makes a little bit of sense. If you're going to steal a credit card, at least go for it. Too bad they never caught that guy. I wonder who that was.
Starting point is 00:01:08 I couldn't tell you that right now. It's a weird thing to say that way. It was weird. Fun, but anyway. The real people going for it are home title fraudsters. They're talking about taking your equity, tens of thousands of dollars, maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars. They can do this with home title fraud.
Starting point is 00:01:24 It's one of the fastest growing crimes in America. And they might have done that to you. And you don't even know that it was done like three and a half years ago. Oh, well, that was before I had Home Title Lock, so maybe it's possible. But Home Title Lock will protect you 30 risk-free days of protection. At HomeTitleck.com, the code is radio. HomeTitleck.com. God, Radio.
Starting point is 00:01:41 Foyled again. Hello, America. Let me just get it out of the way so the rest of the media can say, oh, at least he said this. Thoughts and prayers are not enough. Okay. Now we can move on. We've got a lot to talk about. There was a shooting.
Starting point is 00:02:33 We have an out-of-control border. We have the happiest vice president ever. Whenever she's asked a question that she doesn't want to answer, yesterday she was asked this. The border? You going to the border? Not today. But I have before and I'm sure I will again.
Starting point is 00:02:54 Yeah, I sure you will again. Who doesn't love her faky laugh? We're going to talk about the border. The three. trillion dollar spending bill and a story that you have not heard that you really need to hear because it will affect the things you're going to do and buy over the next four years. And it has nothing to do with the government. All in 60 seconds.
Starting point is 00:03:24 Oh, man. She's so funny. Oh, my gosh, she's funny. Let's ask her again if she's going to the border. It is real quick. Do you plan to visit the border? Not today. But I have been for it.
Starting point is 00:03:43 I'm sure I will again. It's a great line. Not today. Not today. What a moment. So funny. Here, ask me, ask me if I've called American financing yet. Hey, Glenn, have you called American financing yet?
Starting point is 00:03:59 Not today. But I've called them before and I'll probably call them again. Oh, wow. Kamala, where are you, baby? Yeah. Oh, my gosh. It's funny. Anyway, American financing, you can call them now at 800, 906, 2440, or go to Americanfinancing.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Find out how you can save a ton of money. By the end of the show, I hope to do it in the next few minutes, but. Sometimes this Kamala stuff. She's just so funny. Yeah, I know. I know. Not today. Anyway, we're going to try to get to the reason why you really need to refinance your mortgage.
Starting point is 00:04:48 Today? Today. Today. Have you called them yet today? Not today. 800-906 2440, 8906. 2440 American financing. Not net.
Starting point is 00:05:02 American financing NMLS. So funny. I just can't believe. NMLS. She is still laughing. I mean, she is still laughing here. Isn't she? Is she laughing?
Starting point is 00:05:14 No. There she is. Oh my gosh. She's such a sweetheart. Delightful. I just love her. I just love it. Now, President Biden, everybody should know he is absolutely on top of things.
Starting point is 00:05:28 The White House calls. an early, what's called a lid. I put a lid on the president's schedule yesterday. A little early. That's what some people are saying. You know, they said that he's not going to be, he's not going to be doing anything for the rest of the day. And it was 1.13 p.m. Now, a lot of people will say 1.13 p.m.
Starting point is 00:05:51 That's, that's just like, that's lunchtime. No, it's actually, it is early. Don't get me wrong. It's an hour before his dinner. And so, you know, it is weird. That's like you cutting out, you know, work at like five. So he had to go nappy nap. But there is no problem on the border.
Starting point is 00:06:14 He has it under control. In fact, he's got a new plan. Do we have the president's plan on the border? His new plan on the border. Do you have it? No? Well, he said, we're looking for the audio. I thought we had it.
Starting point is 00:06:28 he said that he is going to put in place the things that were already in place. He's going back to the things that were already. So you're, wait a minute, you're putting the Trump stuff back in? Is that what you're saying? From previous, the previous administration. You mean from Trump? Here it is. Why do you give the message to the migrants telling them to stay home?
Starting point is 00:06:53 Is it don't come now? Why do you think that hasn't resonated yet? What more can be done so? A lot more. We're in the process of doing it now. We're doing it. That we re-established for the just-to-be-door, which is he stay in place.
Starting point is 00:07:07 He's saying, you can't understand this? No, I can't say our word he's saying. He's got a frigging mask on. He's outdoors. There are no examples, except for close conversation that have happened outdoors worldwide, but yet he's still wearing the dumb masks
Starting point is 00:07:21 after he's been vaccinated, by the way. I can't hear one. He's seen. saying there that we're putting into place the, uh, the policies that were there before. So he's going back to who the Trump policies. That's his latest, which is, uh, seemingly not, uh, really reported very often. Uh, but we have to move on because forget about the border. We've got a three trillion dollar infrastructure bill.
Starting point is 00:07:54 If I hear one more person say, this nation. has not spent money on infrastructure. I'm going to lose my mind because that's what every president has spent huge amounts of dollars on. I don't think the money actually goes there. I mean, right, Kamala? No.
Starting point is 00:08:13 It doesn't actually go there. How many times have we had infrastructure projects? If you remember the, what was it, the Reinvestment Act that was $700 billion? dollars first time we ever came close to a trillion and everyone was freaking out then we had another one another trillion dollar infrastructure act okay uh how are we doing on the roads and bridges can i get an update because you said the 700 billion was going to do it crumbling they're crumbling now we have a trillion dollar and that one now this is a three trillion are you going to have
Starting point is 00:08:54 it all fixed with a three trillion and can i count on that Well, once we spend the money, though, we'll be crumbling again. So we're going to need to spend more money, unfortunately. We don't want to do it. But just we have to do it, Glenn. You know, our crumbling roads and bridges are too vital for our country and our future. I drive the highways. And that's why our crumbling roads and bridges and our crumbling airports.
Starting point is 00:09:16 I mean, I see. And our crumbling train stations. Really? And our crumbling monorails all together need to be fixed all at the same time. And then fixed again as soon as the money runs out. And that has nothing to do with union contracts And I was trying to please those voters Really?
Starting point is 00:09:30 Nothing to do with it. It seems like it Okay, so he's got He's got Out of the three trillion dollars And they're saying this is an infrastructure Project because our
Starting point is 00:09:43 crumbling roads and bridges again But yet There are only about $400 billion of the three trillion That are earmarked to repair The Nations Roads and Bridges and Water ways and rails. So what's the rest of it going for?
Starting point is 00:10:02 Oh, surely. Surely infrastructure spending. Retrofitting buildings. Oh, okay. With what? Retrofitting buildings with what? Like 80s technology. Is that it?
Starting point is 00:10:15 Yeah, yeah. It's got to be like cabbage patch kids and everything. That is really cool. So we're retrofitting the buildings. And I can guarantee you that's green new deal stuff. That's retrofitting. 100%. Yeah, 100%.
Starting point is 00:10:25 solar panels, you know, different insulation, things like that, that won't be green. So we got to do that right away. I mean, President Lincoln there in his, let me use some Democratic talking point words, in his temple right there on the lawn of Washington, right there in the national mall, he's cold. There's such a draft coming in between those pillars. And we need to put some green energy. insulation in between those pillars.
Starting point is 00:10:58 I mean, imagine being that big and still having a draft that big. He's sitting outside all the time. Sure, he's got coverage from rain. Is that enough? No, not in this country. Also, they're planning on $60 billion for infrastructure related to green transit. And then $46 billion for climate-related research and development. And then the electric vehicle charging stations that they're going to build all across the country.
Starting point is 00:11:35 And I have to tell you, there is nothing that I like more than, you know, having a car that can drive maybe 300 miles. And then I go to a charging station and wait for 20 minutes, half an hour. I think it's pretty, I think it's longer than that. I think it is. So if I'm doing a cross country, trip. I mean, it's going to be great. I want those power charging stations
Starting point is 00:12:02 dotting the U.S. because that doesn't seem like a half-step technology. You know what I mean? I think we're only going to be able to get 300 miles out of these cars 10 years from now. So we should build those everywhere.
Starting point is 00:12:18 You know, just how much is it? Okay. The, for the model 3, 2019, 310 mile range. A full charge is
Starting point is 00:12:32 seven hours. Okay, so you're just pulling off into the rest stop for seven hours. I mean, that's good because you've driven 300 rest up, man. I mean, I better have like a good
Starting point is 00:12:43 arcade. It better be like Disneyland. I mean, three, seven hours. Can you imagine ever taking a trip across this country? By the way, California Democrats are now insisting
Starting point is 00:12:55 that Joe Biden puts an end to the gasoline engine. We want to date when those are going to be gone. Why don't we let the technology lead us there? What do you think? You know, let me give you a little. Those getting better? No, it's a little bit better. So a full charge can take anywhere between six and 12 hours.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Oh, six and 12. However, the quickest charging time occurs within the battery's sweet spot, which is usually between 20 and 80% of a full charge. For most Teslas, it only takes about an hour to go from 40% to 80%. Okay. So 40% of your, that's like 100 miles or so. And then you got to stop for an hour. I mean, look, as they would point out, 90% plus of driving is within their 300 mile limit.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Well, I mean, it'll solve the problem of the national parks. We won't ever have to go to those because we can't get anywhere. It's just not built for long. You can't do it with long. The only way you can do long drives with these cars is if eventually they have the battery switchout technology or something like that. If they're perfect for Europe, I mean, because, I mean, look, you're German. Nobody wants you in their country. So you're just driving around your little electric car and everybody's fine because they're like, hey, no, no.
Starting point is 00:14:19 We don't need any vener snitchel. No. Stay there. And so they don't have any place to drive for more than an hour. And it's great if you're, you know, if you're commuting around town for the day. Yeah. You're not, only when you're driving for a long drive, is it going to be 300 miles in one day? So I was going, I needed buy a trailer and a for a hitch on my truck and I'm looking for this trailer.
Starting point is 00:14:45 And here in Texas, it's the closest one is two and a half hours away. two and a half hours away I'm not going to be able to get there and back without a seven hour stop right I mean that's not it's just not convenient if you're like a salesman you'd think oh well I'd love to I'm driving around all the time I can have no big gas bill I could just charge it overnight
Starting point is 00:15:13 at my house it won't probably save some money but you're putting yourself at that point where it just gets it's just got to be on your mind all the time Okay, so we have the infrastructure going on. We have the roads, the buildings are being retrofitted, $100 billion for schools and education infrastructure. Just the $100 billion. Now, there is a huge chunk in the $1.9 trillion that we're going to supposedly
Starting point is 00:15:38 schools and infrastructure. In fact, so that didn't solve it. Like six times as much as they asked for. But other than that. Other than that. And they haven't been at school. Right. So like you'd think maybe the cost would be down for the year.
Starting point is 00:15:49 No, it's not. It's way up. Way up. then you have the infrastructure for the climate change of $400 billion, and then $100 billion to expand the supply of housing for low-income Americans, which is great. There's nothing like co-op cities. No, they're beautiful.
Starting point is 00:16:08 People like them. A lot of people say they're crime and death traps, but I don't think so. Not this time around. They're going to be good because now we're all woke. Then also more subsidies for the Affordable Care Act, reduce tradition or free tuition at historically black colleges and universities. I mean, if you're Hispanic or white or Asian, God forbid you're Asian. No need to apply.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Now, they're saying, how are you going to pay for all of this? Anybody who makes more than $400,000 a year will see, I love this sentence, we'll see a small to a significant tax increase. Well, you've narrowed it down. Yeah. It could be a small or a significant tax increase. To translate, we will be taking some to all of your money. But that's it.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Right? Somewhere in there. Am I right? Am I right? No. Oh, she's silly. Oh, my God. She's not going to be taking that money today.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Is she? Not today. Not today. No way. All right. Patriot Mobile. Why would you pay more for something that you could get a reasonable price on? I mean, if a restaurant is charging you $10 for a cheeseburger,
Starting point is 00:17:26 are you going to go and offer $100,000? Of course not. Would you, Kamala? No. No, she wouldn't. She wouldn't. All right. That's exactly really what you're doing when you have a mobile service that isn't Patriot
Starting point is 00:17:42 Mobile. We're on the same cell towers, Patriot Mobile is. So you're getting the same coverage, same service. You're getting better customer service. And it's a lot cheaper. You're going to save a lot of money. And you're not doing business with companies like Verizon that are helping support abortion. Hello?

Starting point is 00:18:52 Black Rock is the biggest, I mean, it dwarfs Goldman Sachs. It is the biggest investment firm out there. It has under its own management, $7 trillion. But because they do business globally and, you know, some of their partners are the central banks of Europe and the Fed, they have really under their purview about, 21 trillion dollars. That's, well, that's enough almost to build all of the roads and bridges here in America. I mean, not, you know, not right. No, they'll still be crumbling. They'll still be crumbling.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Yeah. Um, so they are the, they are in the White House, in senior positions. They are in our treasury in senior positions. And they are one of the ring leaders of the great reset. Well, I've been telling you about ESG, environmental, social justice and governance standards that are being employed and will affect everything in this country. Last week, one of their executives resigned. And he's the guy, he's, he's the guy who's in charge of their climate agenda. I want you to listen to what he said on why he resigned. The issue is that the entire system doesn't work. And where Black Rock is culpable is that it's promoting a thesis that tells people that these products, whether done correctly or incorrectly, whether they're sloppily made and they
Starting point is 00:20:31 include a name that they shouldn't or the opposite, they're telling people that these things have social impact. And I can't stress enough. There is no evidence that any ESG ETF has any positive social impact that I've seen. There's no evidence that by buying a low carbon ETF, you are actually going to lower commissions. There is evidence. that fixing the rules of society, the government regulation actually can do that. We're doing it through Wall Street makes no sense. They're capital allocators and they're going to chase yield and profitability. And if you put a carbon tax on, every portfolio manager, BlackRock and elsewhere,
Starting point is 00:21:04 will adjust their portfolio to the changed reality. So what he's saying here, he's quitting. Now, I'm shocked that government and the companies, banks, financial firms are actually only in it for money in power. I mean, that came as a shock to me. But his solution is to get rid of all of the businesses there and just have draconian things done by the federal government. This is not going to work. Nobody's going to listen to him. And the great reset going green with ESG is going to be the thing of the future.
Starting point is 00:21:42 We're going to go through what is happening with your finances on tomorrow night's Wednesday night special only on Blaze TV. which brings me to this. Rush may have his golden microphone, but on loan, I have this. It is a gold bar that was taken up from the coastlines. I think in the Carolina is, oh my gosh,
Starting point is 00:22:07 it's heavy. And it's a gold bar. It is marked on it. Now this is from 18, I don't know, 60 or something. It is marked. It's worth 1,200 or,
Starting point is 00:22:20 $2,600.41.91.96.91.96.96. That's what it was worth. This is worth now $300,000, this one gold brick. Okay. There was a story out that the Fed is now saying that the dollar is going to lose 15% of its value every year. they're projecting for at least the next four years. That means by the end of the Biden term, you will only have 40 cents of buying power for every dollar you have in the bank. What do you do about it? We are going to help you navigate that
Starting point is 00:23:07 throughout the next few shows. There are things you can do. We'll talk about it. More coming up. All right. So have you started mowing the lawn yet? Here in Texas, I mean, we just had a historic freeze, and it's already time to mow the lawn. Spring is fully here in some parts of the country.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Sorry, most places up north, not included. But it is coming, and you're going to have to start mowing the lawn. Now, do you have a lawnmower that is a pleasure to mow the lawn? Do you have, you know, a lawn where you're spending a couple of hours on the weekend mowing the lawn? We can make it really, really easy for you to cut that time in half and make it a real pleasure. Zero turn lawnmowers are the, you know, hot thing, but Hustler turf has made the zero turn. They invented it back in the early 1960s or late 1950s. And they've been making these industrial-sized lawnmowers for a long time.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Well, now they're making them for you. And these things will run and run and run and run and run. They are a pleasure to drive. Do yourself a favor.

Starting point is 00:24:32 And head over to blazedtv.com slash glen. The promo code is Glenn. It'll save $10 off your subscription right now to Blaze TV. I want to clarify something. I don't want to miss speak and then not correct it right away. the guy from Black Rock left a while ago, and for family reasons, however, he came out last week and he talked about what he had turned a blind eye to, thinking while he was there. You know, at least we're doing something. He's now saying they're doing near permanent harm to the system with how everything is going.
Starting point is 00:25:16 That's a quote. You need to pay attention to this ESG thing, because it is going to change absolutely. everything in your life and the stimulus package is part of it. Welcome to Mr. Pat Gray. I'm happy to be here in this happy, happy, happy time. Aren't you? Aren't you? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:34 It's great. Nothing could be better, could it? Everything is as good as it can possibly be right now. Well, I mean, we, we, we have Todd Benson on, he is, he's a guy who was, you know, who's worked in, you know, government law enforcement and, you know, on the border for a while. Mm-hmm. He says something weird is happening down on the border.
Starting point is 00:25:54 What? Yeah. No. Yeah. No, I got it from a pretty good source. Alejandro Mayorkes. Ah. Who said, well, he said this.
Starting point is 00:26:04 The border is closed. The border is secure. Oh. So get off it. I mean, the border is closed. The border is secure. Well, you know, I saw these alleged pictures from these alleged cages. And I thought, this isn't, this is the warming tray from Arby's.
Starting point is 00:26:22 That's what that is. Why are you taking pictures of baked potatoes and trying to pass them off as... All this stuff in aluminum foil. Yeah. I mean, that's all that is. What is the space blanket thing with our government? Are they cheap or they effective? Why not regular blankets?
Starting point is 00:26:41 They're cheap and effective. Just cheap, they're... Just put aluminum foil on them and they're warm and toasty all night. You know, then why aren't we all using aluminum blankets? Maybe it's not the most comfortable fabric in the world? Right. I'm not sure. But I think it's maybe the comfort situation.
Starting point is 00:26:58 You know, I did see CNN pretend to find some people coming down an embankment. Did you guys see this with, in fact, there were so many people coming across the Rio Grande that people are accusing them now of staging the event. Like, I guess they gathered together a whole bunch of people from Mexico and said, hey, well, you will come down this embankment? No, that's right down CNN. alley. It actually is. It actually is. To stage that the
Starting point is 00:27:28 border is worse than we thought? No, to stage things. Oh, well. Yeah. But check this out. Here they are. Here's the CNN denying participating in a staged event. Tonight, the White House trying to produce the dramatic surge of unaccompanied migrant children at the southern border.
Starting point is 00:27:44 By terminating a Trump era policy that it says discouraged potential sponsors of these children from coming forward out of fear they'd be reported to immigration officials, as maybe they were undocumented. The move comes as a record number of unaccompanied children. Now more than 3,700 are in Border Patrol custody. We have a special investigation tonight with Ed Lavendera out front.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Ed finds some people out there. As the sun sets on the Rio Grande, our boat winds its way through the deep bends of the river that separates Texas from Mexico near the town of Hidalgo. And what does that find? That's when we stumble across a group of migrants loading into a raft. Oh, my amigos. Hey! Hey.
Starting point is 00:28:26 No, enemyigo. No, no, enemigo, good. Our group eases the tension. A few men appear to lead the wrathful of parents and young children to the U.S. side. Appear? It appeared to. It appeared to. Everybody's happy.
Starting point is 00:28:41 The Rio Grande Valley has been ground zero of the latest surge of migration. And here you see the operation holding right in front of us. Where do you get? Yeah, this is clearly staged. Right. See the river. The magnitude of this moment reveals itself. Dozens of migrants emerge and walk down to the river's edge.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Probably more like hundreds. You can see that this is a serious operation. There are dozens of migrants. Yeah. Go ahead and end this. I wonder who's running that. And they're making like a trip after trip across the water. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:16 And who's so many people there? Who's doing the boat? Charities, mission workers, churches. Who's providing all of that? Well, the only reason they, don't cross into our country normally is because of our crumbling roads and bridges. Well, that's the problem.
Starting point is 00:29:30 But they've heard that the infrastructure packages. Infrastructure packages come. When we spend that $3 trillion and finally fix those crumbling bridges, then you'll have some people coming across the border. That's unbelievable footage, though. Again, you know, I, you give CNN some credit for actually airing it. Yeah. I mean, that's...
Starting point is 00:29:49 I was surprised because that's the last thing in the world they want to show. They want to support the Biden. administration theory that the border is closed the border is secure you can't no you can't do more than they've done to cover this you can't i mean you just can't they they you know it takes uh uh what's his face to go down and get the the pictures uh from project veritas it takes project veritas yeah they're not interested yeah they're not interested in getting it i mean they've done everything they can to not tell the story. As soon as it's just so big, you can't, you cannot not tell the story.
Starting point is 00:30:32 That's when they're doing it. But this is really the Biden administration. I mean, these pictures came, yes, from James O'Keefe, but also from Henry Quayar, a Democratic congressman. I mean, the Washington Post had a huge story about what a disaster this has been and what a bad job that Biden administration has been. The Times has been covered. it, CNN is covering it.
Starting point is 00:30:53 And you know why? This is really singularly, the Biden administration covering this up. And I think it's I think it's because the media is pissed off at him for not having access. Yeah. They want more access. The only time they ever cover these guys. That's the only time. The only
Starting point is 00:31:07 time they'll actually tell the story is if their livelihood is being affected. And right now it is because they won't grant them access. So did you hear Jen Pesaki say what? No, I know. You're You're making sure you don't silence the P.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Well, no, I'm not going to silence the P. And the A has been overused. The A is always first in line. You know, it's always led the out. It's the whitest of all alphabet. The most privileged letter. Yeah, it is. It is.
Starting point is 00:31:36 So I'm just picking a random letter out of the alphabet down in the forgotten part. I'm going to put a U there where the A was. It's the last, you know, full-time vowel. It really, just like the back of the line for the vowels. Right. I mean, now why? It's only sometimes why. So, Jen Pesaki was saying yesterday that, you know, she doesn't pull the strings.
Starting point is 00:32:01 She's not the one that pulls the strings. On access? Yeah, and I thought that was an interesting phrase to use. She's like, look, I'm not the one who, you know, we have the audio. Play it. Can you provide, although we would prefer independent press coverage, can you provide photos to show the public now so we can have more than relying on the congressional delegation. Well, we're working on independent press coverage.
Starting point is 00:32:29 We believe that that should happen and that should be the case. And I don't pull the levers here. I wish I was that all powerful. I am not. But I can just reiterate our commitment to transparency. And I certainly hope to have an update for you very soon. I'd like to know who does pull the levers of power. Who is that?
Starting point is 00:32:46 I think that's Kamala. I think it is too. She has the levers of power right now. Real quick, let me just throw this in. Most Americans now say that the pandemic has caused physical changes. Some have gained undesired weight. What? Yes.
Starting point is 00:33:05 No. Yeah. Others have unintentionally lost weight. Who? The dead? I mean, who's losing weight during this pandemic? The American Psychological Association Stress in America Pandemic Survey polled 3,000 Americans in the U.S. found the majority, 61% say they have experienced undesired weight gain.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Now, in completely unrelated news, yesterday we found out, if you want to get your COVID-19 vaccination, crispy cream is now giving away free donuts to anyone with proof of vaccination all year long. Now, there's a lot of things that I thought, hmm, I don't know if I'm going to get the vaccination. I don't think I need the vaccine, but crispy cream stepping in. Now I'm interested. Which is kind of in an unrelated story. A door dash driver.
Starting point is 00:34:09 A door dash driver came to a woman's door with food. And the driver said, before he handed her the food, are you, are you single? And she didn't answer. And then he said, you know, I'm really tired and it's really late and wet and rainy. Like, you know, maybe I could come in. Now, let me ask you, how hungry, I've seen Door Dash drivers.
Starting point is 00:34:39 How hungry do you have to be to take him up on that? Because he was eventually, look, you know, it's food or sex I could give you the food or you could you know I could charge it to you you know or I could just give it to you and you could you know
Starting point is 00:34:56 get me out of the rain so he was she was going to get the food either way but she just would have to pay pay for it yeah yeah and again how broke or how hungry do you have to be to take someone up on the I mean he thought he had a chance
Starting point is 00:35:10 seems like I mean at least he's coming to the table with food you know A female or, you know, male, doorjash drivers. I'll give you Stu's address later, apparently. You're in lock. Yeah, they're going to be really excited about that one. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:37:41 I mean, a year ago, Trump was in office, the economy was booming, Supreme Court slots were being filled with conservatives, the impeachment case was exposed. The Democrats, you know, were spying and all the corruption. Everything seemed to be headed in the right direction. Then the global pandemic happened. We had the greatest economy we've ever had. Then the global pandemic.
Starting point is 00:38:04 And look where we are now. It's been a rough freaking year. I mean, it has been horrible. And some businesses have been completely wiped out. Others are fighting for their lives. It's been frustrating for us. us on multiple levels. I can't even imagine how frustrating it has been for you.
Starting point is 00:38:26 And frustrating, especially if you have, you know, planned a vacation. We had a cruise planned for what last year, right? Right end of March, wasn't it? Yeah. And we were doing it with cruise builder, this cruise company. And I was supposed to host the cruise, Bill O'Reilly and David Barton and everything else. I was excited about it. We're growing to Israel and everything.
Starting point is 00:38:50 been a nightmare. And dates have come and gone and come and gone and come and gone. We have some new news for you today. If you happen to be on that cruise, the dates are October 27th through November 7th, come hell or high water. All ports have been approved by every country, the Maritime International.
Starting point is 00:39:11 If you can't make it on those dates, travel vouchers are available and we'll have all the details. I guess cruise builders who runs this cruise. Cruise Billers is going to be sending out all the information, but I wanted to get to as soon as it was official. It feels like we're kind of getting back to normal a little bit. Does it? It kind of feels like that.
Starting point is 00:39:31 Yeah. I mean, you know, I had that thought once, you know, when I was young and naive. You know what I thought of this morning with a shooting in Colorado was, it's horrible. My first thought this morning was not about the shooting. about the victims and it should be. It always should be. My first thought was, oh, dear God, what does this mean now? And we're getting to be that way on everything.
Starting point is 00:40:01 No story is unconnected from politics anymore. Every story is political. And it shouldn't be that way. We said this before, you know, they got the 50 seats confirmed in Georgia that they'll all say they're not going to do the filibuster. You know, you'll get the Joe Mansion on your side for now until they can, until they get the 50 seats. And then whenever there will eventually be an event that says, you know what? I was against it. I said I was against it. But this event, this thing that happened is obviously showing the Republicans are just not even trying to work with us. And we have to do it
Starting point is 00:40:40 this time. We have to change X, Y, or Z. You know, this is why you can't let them have the 50 seats, which is a real, real issue. with with what happened in Georgia. But still, I mean, you come to this, we're here we are. And now you're really looking at what they want to do. And we're looking at a group of people that will do anything. And it, you know, I mean, it's interesting because it wasn't even, they didn't even wait to see the Republicans reject a bill to say,
Starting point is 00:41:06 okay, look, we tried. They're already saying they want to do the filibuster thing before the Republicans have even said no on anything. Well, you can't. They can't even debate it. Yeah. The Republicans can't even debate it. I mean, this government.
Starting point is 00:41:18 is in complete control of Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden or Kamala Harris, I don't know which one is doing anything if they are, and all of their puppet masters that are planning these things behind the scenes. They're just moving forward. Let me tell you about our sponsor this hour. It's American financing.
Starting point is 00:41:47 Hopefully I'm going to get to this story on the economy and what's coming our way this hour. We're going to talk about the border first, but you need to save money and you need to pay the least amount of interest rate that you can possibly get into now. If you have high interest credit cards, you've got to do a consolidation loan. Please do this.

We have a guy who is a very trusted source, as you will see here in a second, who can't get any information from this side of the border. So he's currently on the other side of the border where they are talking.
Starting point is 00:43:43 What's happening on America's southern border? We go there in 60 seconds. Well, time to sell your house or time to buy another. You really need the right real estate agent. You need to be able to have somebody that you can trust. I mean, I don't know about you. I don't like writing a. around all day with a real estate agent and you don't have any idea. I mean, it's me. So they make
Starting point is 00:44:17 their judgment, you know, before I even get into the car. I'm, you know, either an evil guy or a good guy, uh, either way. And I hate it because I can't just be me and my wife and I can't just have a quiet conversation about something. Uh, and when you get into a car these days with a real estate agent who's going around, you don't know. you're driving with. You don't have any idea. And if they start to hate you because who you voted for, God help you. Real estate agents, I trust.com.
Starting point is 00:44:50 We didn't start this because of, you know, you needed to know who they were. And they, you know, it was this weird world that we're living in now. We started it because we wanted to know how can the average person find a real estate agent that is the best in their area? That is the one who has the traffic on their website, the one who sells the most homes, the one who has the highest customer service ratings. Who are those people? That's why we put it together. Real estate agents, I trust.com. These are the people that are going to sell your house quickly for the most amount of money and the least hassle and find the next house and be able to actually secure that house without getting into a bidding war or anything else, depending on where you are.

Todd Benzman, he currently serves as the Texas-based senior national security fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, Washington, D.C. Policy Institute. He led the Counterterrorism Intelligence for the Texas Department of Public Safety's Intelligence and Counterterrorism Division in its multi-agency fusion center.
Starting point is 00:46:06 Before his Homeland Security Service, he was a journalist for 23 years, covering national security after 9-11 as a staff writer for major newspapers and reporting in 25 different countries. He is also the author of the book America's covert border war, the untold story of the nation's battle to prevent jihadist infiltration. He joins us now. I believe you're in Mexico now, Todd. Is that right? At the moment, I'm on the Texas side, and as soon as we're done with this call, I'm going to head over into Piedris Negress, which is on a smaller city on the Mexican side across from Eagle Pass, Texas. And yesterday I spent all day in Ciudad Acuna, across from Del Rio. So tell me what is really happening on the border? Well, migrants are
Starting point is 00:47:02 coming from all over Mexico, southern Mexico, and also from other parts. parts of Mexico where ports of entry are walled or they're better walling in those areas and harder to get across. So what they're doing is their sector shopping for the easy routes in. And this happens to be one of the easy sectors. They perceived easy to get through and into the United States and be released. And so just in the past week in this sector, about 5,700 migrants crossed over and were apprehended or got away about 1,700 got away estimated, which compares to like kind of in the
Starting point is 00:47:46 low hundreds on a normal week. So we're really seeing a major, major spike happening in this sector because it's perceived to be forgiving and easy to get through. So is this happening with the Texas Border Patrol as well? I mean, because we've had this problem. before with with Obama not this bad um but uh texas dps has been down on the border and they are different than the border patrol from cbp are they yeah yes uh i've i you know there there's a trooper a car just about a mile behind me on the road here uh they you see them all over there they're deployed along with uh national guard i've seen national guard here and The purpose of that is to fill the gap because Border Patrol is spread very thinly in an area like this.
Starting point is 00:48:46 This is why it's easy to get through here, where there's no walling. They just come through and either bum rush the agents who are here and get past them, or they can, you know, family units know that they can turn themselves in, so some are running and some are turning themselves in. and the family units are being paroled right into the country with notices to appear. And now they're not even bothering with notices to appear in some parts of the border. They're just waving them through the turnstile into the Greyhound bus stations. And so, yeah, a couple days ago.
Starting point is 00:49:24 And wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, are we, the United States government is paying for these trips all over America, right? I wouldn't say that they're paying for the bus fare, but there are NGOs that are facilitating communications and wire, you know, the migrants are getting money wired in from relatives, and they're paying for their bus fare, but there are NGOs that are assisting and cooperating with all of that. But you've got DPSs here and National Guard, and what happens is they can catch migrants. They can't hold them for long, and they call Border Patrol, comes and picks them up. So it's really good to have them here.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Okay. So we have noticed a difference. We have good relationships with the Border Patrol. And we are, we're getting a total blackout. People won't talk to us. And it is leading us to believe that there is, there's something happening here on the border. And nobody wants to talk about it. Is that just me being me or are you experiencing kind of a blackout as well?
Starting point is 00:50:38 Total blackout, Glenn. This is unusual. Look, I mean, let's just face it. The Biden administration caused all of this with their campaign rhetoric during the campaign, and then their very first moves were to just open the border wide, reinstitute catch and release. the migrants that I talked to over there on Mexico side all tell me to a man and woman that the reason that they came now was to take advantage of Biden's policies.
Starting point is 00:51:09 And it's embarrassing to, you know, to the Biden administration, they don't want people to see this. They'll tell you privately that that's what it's all about. And they don't want to advertise what they've done and what they're going to be doing And I think that, you know, you could get the story without their cooperation. I didn't even bother after the first couple of phone calls. I saw that this thing was going nowhere. There was going to be no embedding and no interviews with Border Patrol. But I'll tell you this, Glenn, I've got a lot of Border Patrol agents all from California to the Gulf of Mexico who do talk to me on a regular basis.
Starting point is 00:51:51 And I know what's going on, at least through their eyes. but the most important thing is that you can see it through the eyes of the migrants if American reporters would just bother to interview them. What are they saying besides we came because of Biden? Well, they're saying, A, we came because of Biden, and they're saying that they know that they can get in now. They're going to get in now sooner or very soon. nobody nobody who's coming to the border doesn't believe that they're not going to get in during this administration uh and they're and and they're they're very frank about you know the fact that they're coming in for economic reasons nobody nobody is talking about political
Starting point is 00:52:43 how the government persecuted me not one of them will tell you that they don't usually say that until they get coaching from an NGO legal group that tells them what to say to get asylum. None of these people are here for asylum, but they're all going to use the asylum system to just get in through past the border patrol, and win-lose-or-draw, they're going to stay inside the United States illegally, legally win-lose-d draw on their claim. They're here for economic reasons. Can you give me the name of any of these NGOs that you feel
Starting point is 00:53:23 are instrumental in all of this? Rieces. If I'm pronouncing that right is a key one. They're a legal support group, and they are all over this. They're on both sides of the border. That's one that immediately comes to mind, and I can get in touch with you after the show and shoot you some other ones. But, you know, there's a...
Starting point is 00:53:46 Yeah, go ahead. We had the pictures that came out yesterday, and we tried to get a hold of anyone yesterday. We were completely ghosted on, you know, and it's, that's not usual. We were completely ghosted by everyone when we were asking for verification of what James O'Keefe said yesterday that there is sexual abuse and abuse happening in these centers, and no one will get back to us. Have you heard anything like that?
Starting point is 00:54:21 No. as far as what's happening inside the detention centers, that's just a blackout for me and everybody else. And unfortunately, I don't have ice sources that are close to the detention centers at the moment. But, you know, I expect, yeah, go ahead. No, go ahead. You expect. Well, you know, you can't keep that kind of a secret for very long. I mean, eventually the truth will come out. I mean, sometimes I will say that I have seen those kind of claims, especially during the Trump administration, made frequently and not turn out to be supported. Okay. Because they use those claims to force releases.
Starting point is 00:55:09 Oh, well, we've got to release them now because everybody thinks that they're, you know, so. So tell me. So tell me this, because I was there under the Obama. administration and I saw what was happening with the cartels. The cartels are having, the word is they're making more money on this than they even are on the drug trade right now. Can you tell me how dangerous it is and what this policy is forcing people into, not forcing, but is leading them into these relationships with the drug cartels?
Starting point is 00:55:48 there are sectors along the border that are entirely controlled by the cartels that's absolutely true and nobody gets across in those sectors without paying the peso to those guys the coyotes and the smugglers all have to pay the cartels for access to the Texas border and there are so many migrants the demand is so they are flooding in in such huge numbers that even the cartels are having to reconstitute themselves to expand their smuggling branch so to speak and they're giving these migrants risk bracelets it's a human inventory control that's actually happening uh down especially in the uh real grand valley sector and laredo sector now uh where you have to prove that you've paid by wearing one of these wristband. They're numbered, which indicates a registration
Starting point is 00:56:52 system on the Mexican side. In the area where I am right now, they're less active. The migrants that I talked to yesterday just crossed themselves over. There are some sectors like this that are not, you know, heavily involved in the smuggling trade. But as I said, migrants are shopping for the easy routes in. So they're coming to this sector and increasing numbers, and it's just a matter of time before the cartels assert themselves over here in this one, too. We're talking to the Rio sector. We're talking to Todd Benzman.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Todd, I'm going to take one minute, and then I want to come back, and I want to talk to you a little bit about the cartels and how much money it takes to cross, and where are these people getting the money? And is there anything else these cartels are demanding? We'll get into that here in 60 seconds, standby. Something about trying a new brand of earbuds. I don't know, but there is something exciting about trying something new on, I'm an electronic freak.
Starting point is 00:58:00 You don't have to try on anything new after you experience Raycon. Raycon, wireless earbuds, exceptional. Most comfortable earbuds I've ever worn. They form to fit your ears. They don't fall out because they, have three different sizes that you can just change them so you know so they fit your ear perfectly they don't hurt uh like the apple uh airpods do they're stylish they're discreet um they're they're just great they really are sound quality is amazing recons every bit as high quality
Starting point is 00:58:32 as any of their competitors including apple air pods and they're half the price here's the best part. They're available now, not only at half the price, but 15% off that price as well. Raycon. Raycon is offering 15% off all of their products, but you have to go to buy raycon.com slash Beck to get them. Buy raycon.com slash Beck. Do it now. 10 seconds station ID. All right. So, Todd, let me ask you about the cartels. How much does it take? I've heard anywhere from $2,000 to $20,000 to get people over. How much money is it actually taking for people to have their kids or their family smuggled over? In price, of course, by nationality and location.
Starting point is 00:59:33 So in the RGV right now, the Rio Grande Valley sector, the demand is so strong that the prices have gone up, of course, and it's $2,500 for a Mexican or Central American individual just across the river. We're not talking about the money that it costs to get from Guatemala and through the southern part of Mexico. So how are all of these people affording $2,500 on top of what they've already spent? It gets worse. I mean, if you're from Africa, remember, there are migrants coming from all over the world. Africa, the Middle East, we got Middle Yemenis coming through. Iranians just hit the border in Arizona.
Starting point is 01:00:18 We can talk about that. My book, America's Covert Border War, is all about that kind of migrant. Those guys are paying $9,000 ahead. If you're from an Arabic country, Arabic-speaking country, you're paying $9,000. If you're from Africa, 5,000. And where they get the money is, to the best of my knowledge, a few places. One is that they have U.S.-based relatives, especially like the Cubans and the Haitians. have U.S.-based relatives that will wire them money to get in.
Starting point is 01:00:52 And then there's another thing that is happening with especially Central Americans who don't really have $2,500 to get over the border, is they owe it to the cartels. So they have to give the names of their family members, cell phones that are called to prove that the family member answers, home addresses, and that sort of thing. And if they don't pay the price, then there are repercussions. or the threat of repercussions against family members. And that's kind of an indentured servitude,
Starting point is 01:01:24 a kind of a slavery. It's a terrible thing that's happening with that. And then also people in the home countries will raise money. Relatives in home countries like Bangladesh or Syria will raise money and get it here because if they could get somebody anchored in here, then their relatives will come in under chain migration. So it's a great investment for somebody in northeast Punjab in India or Pakistan. We have lots of Pakistanis that cross.
Starting point is 01:02:02 Give me the, I'm about out of time. I've got about two or three minutes. Tell me about the Iranians that have just crossed. Yeah, well, we had 11 Iranians, cross in Arizona. They were apprehended. We had three Yemeni migrants on the terror watch list that crossed in New Mexico and a Serb who crossed in New Mexico who also was on the terror watch list. We have about 20 a year by my reckoning who are on terrorist watch list before they get to the border or at the border. And what typically happens in this is way,
Starting point is 01:02:45 longer than a minute. But there will be, there's supposed to be security investigations that happen inside the detention facilities. FBI and ICE intelligence and DIA and intelligence community agencies are supposed to be on this. When the border systems break down under the crush of a mass migration surge, all bets are off on that, where everybody gets waived in and nobody has time to mess with Iranians or Yemenis or Syrians coming over. And I'm very concerned about that, Glenn. What should, what can people do? Well, for one thing, people need to contact their representatives in Congress and the Senate and make sure that the eye remains on the ball in terms of special interest aliens.
Starting point is 01:03:43 Those are the guys coming in from those countries through Panama right now. They're all coming in right now, hoping to make the best of the Biden border. And make sure that nobody forgets about that. And really the best thing that ever happened in illegal immigration control was remain in Mexico. That policy totally innovative. It worked like a charm. And the deportations to the third countries, they got rid of those right away. Put those back.
Starting point is 01:04:14 Okay. Those were great agreements. Todd Bensman, the name of the book is America's covert border wall, a war. We will check in with him again. Thanks, Todd. This is the glit. I hate to be the one to pour an entire gallon of salt into a wound, but, uh, hey, how's that timeshare thing working out?

You have gotten behind on all kinds of things, and you haven't gotten the vacations, and especially during COVID. Have you been to the place that you pay for?

Starting point is 01:05:41 and head to blazedtiv.com slash glen the promo code is glenn you'll save ten bucks after subscription to blaze tv i'm going to talk to you about a couple of things that are really important but let me start with computer chips they are the tiny little blocks made of silicon coal bolt and copper and they power everything we rely on watches your refrigerator clock television washing machines dishwashers everything and it's only getting more and more so. Every object has become more complex. They need more computer chips. But the supply chains are down and no one has any idea when they're going to get any better.
Starting point is 01:06:33 The Guardian says that the global shortage in computer chips has reached a crisis point. In cars, we need computer chips for airbags, power windows, radios, dashboards, catalytic converters, all of it. The BBC just did an interview with the CEO of Volkswagen, North America, and here's what he said. I would say two things. I think the first thing, there's been massive instability in the supply chains, whether it's been COVID, whether it's been other issues. So we have at least gotten very good at managing that instability.
Starting point is 01:07:05 And frankly, that's what we've been doing. Week to week, car by car, looking at our profit margins, looking at where we have shortfalls, and managing that. I think things will get stable by the fall, but certainly it's going to be complicated and it's going to be challenging. But I think we'll navigate it, particularly here in the U.S. market, between our two main plants, Puebla in Mexico and Chattanooga in Tennessee. Okay. So this sounds good, right? Week to week, car by car.
Starting point is 01:07:31 That's not good. That's not good. But he's optimistic. But that's what you'd expect a CEO to say. Let me give you some more information. Ford has already started canceling shifts at two of its plants. and expects $2 billion in damage as a result of the computer chip shortage, the same for Nissan and General Motors.
Starting point is 01:07:53 That means workers here in America. Industries even that stand to benefit from the computer chip shortage. They're having a hard time because of the COVID-19. It caused a surge in electronic purchases. Apple is the biggest buy. of computer chips in the world. They spend $58 billion a year. The demand for computer chips is so high that even Apple has to wait in line. Even Apple, last year, they delayed the release of the iPhone 12 by two months because of a shortage. Samsung is the largest, sorry, second largest buyer of
Starting point is 01:08:37 chips. They're the second largest producer as well. They sell roughly $56 billion worth of semiconductors and they consume 36 billion worth. The COVID-19 lockdown is only one of the problems. It really exposed the problem. The pro-lockdown people want everybody to stay home at their office. They want everything to remain the same. But the things we rely on to operate, they require more computer chips. And the shortage is troubling.
Starting point is 01:09:13 more troubling than any one cause, really. Last week, there was a major fire at one of the biggest computer chip suppliers in the world. Last month, the power failure here in Texas caused two factories in Austin, Texas, to suspend production, which typically runs 24-7 in Austin. Then there is talk of what's happening with the global economy. Then there's China. China is the world's largest importer and consumer. consumer of computer chips. Now they want to be the largest producer. They've spent the last decade working on strategies for tech self-reliance, and they've been stockpiling computer chips.
Starting point is 01:09:54 This is what the Biden administration really means by infrastructure, by we need to invest in our infrastructure. We are becoming more like China, public-private partnerships, and you will see more and more that we are going to get into the investment world. Last month, Bloomberg reported Chinese businesses bought $32 billion of equipment used to produce computer chips from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and elsewhere. It's a 20% jump from the year before. They have not mastered the technology yet. They can't mass produce chips at that level. They're about a decade behind everyone else.
Starting point is 01:10:35 But here's another troubling factor. The chip shortage also affects the defense industry. We need computer chips for all of our guided missiles, for our airplanes, for everything we do. And it's also going to hit you. Prices are going to rise for anything that has a chip in it. Computers, cars, cars may get actually harder to get. We're living in a country now that I don't recognize. I've never seen in my lifetime where you have to wait.
Starting point is 01:11:13 I'm an American. What, wait? What do you mean? It'll be six months before it's here. And that's happening all the time. And people say there's no inflation. Well, as somebody who has had to buy a lot of plywood lately, really? Because that piece of plywood used to cost about $12, $15.
Starting point is 01:11:36 In some places in the country, it's now $56. dollars. What's up of that? We are hitting inflation and $1,400 in Biden bucks is not really going to hold us over. This is more important than the other headline news. We have a real crisis at our border that we need to pay attention to. But there is a, you know, there's an article run in the Scientific American about how close, Climate anxiety is an overwhelmingly white phenomena. So it's not enough to be concerned about the climate. If you're white and you're doing it, you must be part of the problem. We need to reevaluate our priorities and be less concerned about whiteness and climate anxiety
Starting point is 01:12:33 and more about the technology that fuels human civilization and the country that is pioneered most of it. there was another story that I read yesterday and I don't even know where this was from let me see it was on okay it doesn't say but this was an article that came out and it was talking about how collecting has become a very big deal since COVID and it talks about you know retailers are reticent to speak about the trends stating that they don't wish to be on the record talking about nearly sold out of $90,000 earrings during a time of growing wealth inequality. People are buying watches because they're on the home at computers all the time.
Starting point is 01:13:28 And so these people who are really rich are just going through the online catalogs and looking what's up for auction, et cetera, et cetera. Rolex day dates that sold in the secondary market in 2020 for $30,000. are now going upward of 50,000. Patec-Philippe watches are now you could buy them for 85,000. Now they're going for 200,000. And the reason is they say because Switzerland, they're not making any watches right now.
Starting point is 01:13:58 So there's the demand. This article was written to make you hate rich people and how they're just buying a Mickey Mantle, you know, baseball card and how much that's worth now. Or how they're buying these. old classic cars because they're how much there were my grandfather told me that during the depression you watch what the rich people did before things got bad because it was as if the rich people knew something that we didn't know and that's true and there weren't a lot of rich people
Starting point is 01:14:39 there were people like Rockefeller back then now there's people with real wealth all around the country and so some of them might be spending this money because they're bored or usually we go on to the yacht but we can't get out into the water now so I might as well buy a two hundred fifty thousand dollar coffee table what this article does not tell you is that some rich people are now buying things of value because they know things of intrinsic the Germans did this in hyperinflation and before the war they were buying things of real value because the dollar or their case the mark was not worth what it was just the
Starting point is 01:15:36 year before and as you start to devalue some people say now that your dollar is going to lose about 48 cents in the next four years. About 15% each year will be lost on the value of your dollar. So if you have $100 in the bank, in four years, you'll still have $100, but it will only have the purchase power of $51 or $52. Okay. That's cutting your wealth in half. And it's only because of what they have done at the central bank, the Fed, and in Washington, to that dollar. You've played by the rules. This kind of situation hurts people who have played by the rules.
Starting point is 01:16:28 Don't be surprised. When you see things that auctions of art and everything else going for huge amounts of money and cars all of a sudden are going for huge amounts of money, that was a 1968 Mustang, why is it going for so much? Because people who know, people who see over the horizon are buying things of intrinsic value. They know that if they put in, I don't even know what an old Mustang cost. I'm 100,000, $200,000, whatever. I mean, like a very nice Mustang.
Starting point is 01:17:04 Yeah, I have no idea. But like a showroom quality, you know what I mean? Old school. You know that that $200,000 in that car. is not going to lose 50% of its value in four years. It's not going to. Somebody will buy that for the equivalent of 200,000 or maybe even 150,000 four years, four years down the road. But not in American money.
Starting point is 01:17:33 You know, not, it will be more expensive in American money. People are using these items as a store of value. They're using them as a savings account. That's why Bitcoin is going and doing what it's doing. Because Bitcoin has gone up 200%. Okay. You could go down 175%. Okay.
Starting point is 01:17:57 Still I'm gaining 25% where I'm going to have it in a bank account and I'm going to lose 15, 20%. Yeah, you might want to think about that. The reason why I'm telling you this is not that, you know, we have an audience that's going to go out and buy really expensive, you know, Mustangs. Jay Leno, I'm not sure if he listens to this program. But you need to start thinking about those things. You know, I said to somebody the other day, I don't smoke and I don't drink. But I think it's probably a pretty good idea to buy cigarettes and vacuum seal them to buy alcohol and just keep. keep it because if you don't have any money, people are going to look to trade things.
Starting point is 01:18:51 And I don't know. Cigarettes. I don't think I know anybody that really smokes. But I haven't trying to start, but I haven't got it going. Yeah, I know. It's tough. That was my New Year's resolution. But, you know, alcohol, things that people use, you don't have to go out and buy a Mustang.
Starting point is 01:19:11 You just have to think, what. What could I have a value that people are going to need or want? Need is where most of us can get into and protect ourselves. What is it that people are going to need that they may not be able to afford to buy, but they might have something else that I can trade for that I might need? You have to start thinking about protecting your wealth differently. I think really for the first time since the Great Depression and maybe the first time ever, because if this continues and we continue to spend like this, there will be no dollar left.
Starting point is 01:19:58 So every dollar that you're holding on to will become worth less and less and less until it's worthless. All righty then. But other than that, other than that, everything's going to be fine. That's great. I just love bringing you this news every day. I just do. I just love it. I get up every morning.
Starting point is 01:20:19 I'm like, how can I make people just want to hang themselves? And somehow or another, I come up with a way every single day. Let me tell you, a happy place, your grill. There's nothing better than when things start to warm up
Starting point is 01:20:33 and you're outside and you are, you know, you're cooking hamburgers on the grill. I just love it. I burn everything I put on a grill. Everything. thing, it's like I come back out and the whole thing is on fire and you're like, what happened? It might be that I, you know, buy hamburger that is, you know, it's fat free.
Starting point is 01:20:54 I mean, it's 38% meat. The rest of it is fat. But anyway, Rectec is this great grill that I want you to check out. And I want you to A, B, compare. Go look for the best grill. But before you buy, you need to go to rectech.com. That's R-E-C-T-E-Q with a cue at the end, rec-tech.com. Go there and A-B compare.
Starting point is 01:21:20 There is no comparison for the value dollar to dollar. You will never find a better instrument to cook outside, to grill, to smoke, to do everything, than a rec-tech. I promise you, do the homework yourself. Go to R-E-C-E-Q.com. Rectec.com. Christine Nome is joining us after the top of the hour.

You know, I never understood how, like, my dad was like, I don't understand your generation. Well, dad, that's a problem with you. This generation, I find myself now saying, I don't understand this generation.
Starting point is 01:24:40 It's because they don't make any sense. Anyway, if you'd like to join a group for, you know, mature people and you get all of the discounts and everything else that you would get from a group like that. you probably are the kind of person like me that you want to make sure that you're joining a group that is actually on your side as well, a group that's going to advocate for you. And in Washington, it's more and more important. May I recommend that you look into AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens, the Mature Part in that title means, you know, therefore things like, hey, let's not spend everybody into oblivion. What do you think? the mature part is like, hey, I don't think that universal health care is going to be the best thing, especially when it's the complete life system where the mature people don't get the kind of care they need.
Starting point is 01:25:36 You know, it takes some maturity. AMAC, AMAC, they fight the good fight and they can really do more if you are a member today. There is strength in numbers. The benefits are great. The cause is greater. You can join now at amac.us.us slash Beck. That's AMAC. com.

Starting point is 01:26:15 Glenn investigates the real reason driving social justice and how companies that don't fall in line will be punished. Watch, comply, or die. How America will enforce total loathness. Tomorrow night, 9 p.m. Eastern at blaisdivie.com slash glen. I really respect Tucker Carlson. I would say Tucker and I were not friends. I mean, we knew each other, but we weren't friends or anything, you know, five years ago.
Starting point is 01:26:42 But I respect him now. I think he is a very brave voice. He had Christy Noem on last night. comes up she's here no you have the audio she was on with Tucker Carlson last night and uh here's what happened efforts and I don't think that she's saying so hold on just to be clear it's not the bill you're saying many times over and over again but wait wait wait so you're saying the NCAA threatened you and you don't think you can win that fight they said if you sign this we won't allow girls in South Dakota to play and you don't think you can win in court even though the public
Starting point is 01:27:18 overwhelmingly supports you nationally, and so you're caving to the NCAA. I think that's what you're saying. No, that's not right at all, Tucker. In fact, you're wrong completely. I've been working on this issue for years. In fact, several years ago, I fought, I fought USDA to make sure that 4-H rodeo and that the sport of rodeo could keep girls' events, girls' events, and boys' events, boys' events. So I've been working on this for many, many years. And back since November, I've been consulting with legal scholars and professors across the country asking them, how do I protect women's sports? And they've gone through the steps to how I would legally challenge the NCAA and keep them from bullying the state of South Dakota. And what they've told me to do is that I need to build a
Starting point is 01:28:01 coalition. So that's why today I launched defend title nine now.com. And that's going to allow us to build a coalition of states that can fight the NCAA. Listen, I'm... Here's the thing. And I don't know that this is, well, let me just ask her because she's on with us now and I just ask her first. Christy Noam, welcome to the program. Hi, Glenn. Thanks for having me on. You're welcome. So can we pick
Starting point is 01:28:30 that conversation up where you were last night about coalitions? Because you're getting a name that, you know, people, it's amazing how fast people can turn. But people are saying on the right that you're caving to this transgender ban. And I can understand because I feel like we don't have many hills left, and this one is popular with 80% of the people.
Starting point is 01:28:57 This one is a hill we should die on. And it looks like you're lowering the flag. So tell me what you're doing with the coalition and why that's important. Well, when have you ever known me to cave, Glenn? I haven't. I didn't go through this whole last year being the only one to keep. my state open in the entire nation and to fight for what was right and have everybody piling on to cave on something like this. So I'm trying to be smart and solve a problem. And I think a lot of
Starting point is 01:29:26 times we get bullied. We get bullied by the left, but the right can bully too. And they're not looking at the facts. So in this situation, the coalition that I'm forming is to go after the NCAA. They have been bullying states for a long time with their policies by forcing us to allow men to participate in women's sports. I'm a small state, South Dakota is small. We had to fight hard to even get any tournaments or games in the state of South Dakota, and I recognize that the NCAA can come in and crush me and can make an example out of me and then point to South Dakota and say, see, no other state better challenge us whatsoever. So that's why I'm trying to be smart about this, and build a coalition of athletes, of states, of governors, attorney generals, and show the NCAA
Starting point is 01:30:10 that we're going to fight to make sure that only girls can play in girls sports. That's why the website, defend title nine now.com is out there. And I'm hoping everybody will go there, look at the information, sign up so that we can send that message. Okay. So it's not the NCAA that you're worried about alone. It's what these organizations can do with the woke capital and the woke businesses? Exactly. That's exactly it. So we have to stand up and defend the right that we have and the Title IX federal law that's in place that women are women and only women should play in women's sports. And we can do that in a way that picks a fight that fails and that fails or we can do it in a smart way and build momentum so that we can actually win.
Starting point is 01:31:07 I've talked to legal scholars and professors about this issue for months. In fact, Glenn, I've been working on this issue for years. If people would do their homework once and go back and look years ago, I fought USDA and the federal government when they were trying to force rodeo to let boys into girls events and to make girls participate in boys' events. And I fought them alone and got South Dakota to be able to still keep boys and girls events separated. And USDA, you know, turned around. Did a 180 on the issue and allowed us to keep boys events,
Starting point is 01:31:41 boys events and girls events, girls events. So there's no gray area for me on this. I've proven myself for years on this issue, and I'll continue to do that regardless of who decides that they want to try to attack me and bully me. So, Christy, you know me well enough to know, because you've listened to the show for years. You know that if I disagree with you, I would tell you. Yes. And I hope my audience knows this, because the passion is.
Starting point is 01:32:11 going against you on this right now and I completely understand that but I think it's misplaced you know I told a story yesterday about Abraham Lincoln before the before they did the second confiscation act Abraham Lincoln I have a note from him that he wrote to the Speaker of the Senate and said please don't adjourn they were supposed to adjourn that night and they were going to pass the the second the second Confiscation Act, which took slaves from the South and freed them. And he wrote and said, don't, don't, don't pass that. Don't.
Starting point is 01:32:51 Wait. I have another idea. And he was, because he was an attorney, he realized this will come back to bite us because once the war is over, we have to return the property to the two people. So we need something else. And that's what led to the Emancipation Proclamation and got rid of the Confiscation Act because it wouldn't hold. And he knew that. And I, because I know what we're all up against right now, you're not going to be able to fight this by yourself.
Starting point is 01:33:27 And if you indeed are putting together a coalition of states and others, that is critical. because A, we don't want any bad case law stacking up. Exactly right, Glenn. Exactly right. And listen, you know, this is the war that we're in. And we have to be smart and strategic so we can win it. We've seen this play out in the pro-life movement for years. Everybody believes we should ban abortion outright,
Starting point is 01:33:57 but we know we can't win in court. And if you look at South Dakota, I'm in the Eighth Circuit, which every person who's done an analysis on that circuit says, South Dakota can go ahead and look at collegiate sports and we can ban all activities for anybody who's male and a female sport and then NTA and those organizations will come after me and then I can sue them. Absolutely I can do that. But across the board, and I've been talking for months to legal scholars and professors about this across the country, They say you will likely lose. There's a very, very, very good chance that you will lose this. And then that will make an example out of South Dakota.
Starting point is 01:34:41 So build the momentum so that they can't just focus on a little state like South Dakota. Now, the lies about what's going on in South Dakota right now are rampant across the country. I did not veto a bill. I did not veto the bill that the legislature sent me. What I gave them was a style and form revision that they can accept. And if they accept that, I can protect. all students under the age of 18 in our K-12 system and make sure that in the state that we are making sure that only girls playing girls sports, only boys playing boys sports. I can fix all of the other
Starting point is 01:35:13 items that they sent to me in that bill that are a trial lawyer's dream and keep all the litigation out of this so that families don't have to sue 20 times to get fairness and let me do that and then let me build the coalition to win at the collegiate level. And so I did I did not veto a bill. That's a complete lie that's out there. This is a style and form revision, and I'm hopeful my legislature will see that this is the way that we can actually fight the fight and win, and at the end of the day, have a
Starting point is 01:35:40 victory that really does protect women. Is it a fair characterization, Governor, that you basically are sending back, let's just say, three quarters of the bill that you want to push through? And you're going to make changes to the other quarter? Is that a... I mean, because you're...
Starting point is 01:35:56 The way I understand your reasoning here is that everyone who is not in college would be covered by this, right? And you also had an issue with performance enhancing drugs, right? That there would be lots of lawsuits that would be associated with this the way that it's written. Can you talk about that for a second? Yeah, you're exactly right. Everybody that is not in college sports would be protected if they would accept my revisions.
Starting point is 01:36:20 And also they sent me some regulations and reporting requirements that don't define what performance enhancing drugs are. And they also allow any student that didn't make a team to go back and to sue that team and that school and that individual student who would use a performance enhancing drug retroactively, but they also don't define it. So then that opens it up to all kinds of opportunities for a student who didn't make a team to go after someone a year in the past that also allows them to sue for emotional damages, for physical damages, for, you know, and it's far reaching. So the litigation aspects of what they sent me just isn't workable as far as what good conservative governing do. And people tell me, conservatives tell me, Chris, you just signed the bill. Politically, it's easier for you and fix everything. Well, governors don't do that. Governors don't get to make political decisions.
Starting point is 01:37:16 We have to govern and we have to take care of our people and be smart about what we're doing and making sure we're not arbitrarily, you know, taking a political position and then hurting people in the long run. So I'm doing the right thing here. I know that I am. I'm hopeful that people care enough about the truth in this day and age that they will see it and that we'll have the opportunity to go forward and ensure that at all levels in collegiate sports as well, that only girls play girls sports and that we protect Title IX. It strikes me, Governor, as the audience saw you stand up during COVID,
Starting point is 01:37:49 and I would argue a much tougher place to stand up, where standing up for women playing women sports seems relatively obvious. obvious. Knowing the audience, as we've seen over the years, they can, I think what you're saying is logical to most people, but they're concerned that what happens over and over again with politicians is they say, well, I can't do this right now, I'll do it later, and we'll put together this coalition, we'll fight, and then they don't see that fight, and they'll hold you accountable if you don't, if you don't fall through with us.
Starting point is 01:38:20 Can you speak to the people that feel quite honestly like I do? come on don't surrender we please we are in the fight of our life and we've got to have somebody who's willing to stand do you understand that feeling from the people who are upset and can you speak to that i can but i don't know why they're doubting me the last 12 months 18 months hasn't proven myself and you have to go back three years to see that i've already fought this fight in my state and stood and was the only one of the only one of the only one of you have to go back and was the only one. I didn't have any help from my congressional delegation or the state government or any time when I was fighting for 4-H rodeo and for rodeo to remain girls' events and boys' events.
Starting point is 01:39:06 I did that alone with that sport in the state of South Dakota. So the fact that people are questioning me is because they haven't done their homework and they don't know me and they haven't watched my career. And I can go home, you know, and I'm in South Dakota and can be happy and do that. but the people who are judging me right now or the people who are the political ones and they're not the ones who really care about governing and making sure that we're doing what needs to be done in this country. So what it's unfortunate to me is the lies and deceit that are out there around this issue because there's nobody that's proven themselves more on this particular issue than I have.
Starting point is 01:39:47 I've already delivered for them in my state and I will for the country if they will give me the chance to build this coalition and show that we're. we can get it done. Governor Christy Noem, I honestly didn't know for sure which way I was going to, how this interview was going to end, but I can tell you I am happy to say, you haven't disappointed me. I think you're doing the exact right thing. And a lot of people don't understand that yet because they're so used to politicians
Starting point is 01:40:21 caving. but thank you for that. Also, thank you for the abortion as a dad of special needs child. I know that you're signing a bill today that has passed the House and Senate has been in the work for, you know, a long time. And weeks ago it passed, you're going to sign this today. That is a good hill to not die on, but to live on. Thank you. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:40:50 Absolutely. Thank you, Glenn. You bet. Governor Christy Dome from South Dakota. We'll have a little bit more perspective in just a second. First, let me tell you about gold line. This is so heavy. This is a gold bar.
Starting point is 01:41:09 It is worth about $300,000. It was made in 1857, and it was sitting on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. after the wreck of the SS Central America over a century ago off the coast of North Carolina. It sat there in under 7,200 feet of water. And what I love about this, it is so heavy, is that it is marked 20, let me see, my glasses here, $2,6.41.96. That's what it was worth in. And you do this. No, it's remarkably heavy for the size of it.
Starting point is 01:41:55 It's remarkably heavy. It's like you, it's crazy. Yeah. It is, that's what it was worth. It's worth $300,000 now. Why? Because the dollar has changed, not the gold. The dollar has changed.
Starting point is 01:42:10 If I had 1857 money and at $2,600, that money today, you know, would be in those dollars, would be worth about $300. grand because the dollar that we have now is not worth it. Look, inflation is coming and I think hyperinflation is coming. Please call Gold Line. Be big, be bold and make a move today. Protect your future for your family. By the way, you can get these bars.
Starting point is 01:42:40 They have extremely limited number of these historic pieces. I get it to them again. I want to hold it. No, I gave it to you. You have it. No, I give it back. The thing is, you can't. You can't put it in your pocket because your pants would fall down.
Starting point is 01:42:55 And even if it's like, you know, you and me very tight pants because we're so fat, you better would just rip out of our pocket. It's Goldline, 866 Goldline. They're standing by to take your call now. 866 Goldline or goldline.com. 10 seconds station ID. That bizarre. Yeah. What is it?
Starting point is 01:43:19 Three inches? That's probably five inches. Yeah. What is that? About five inches by two inches by. by... Yeah, it's small. It's very dense.
Starting point is 01:43:28 Yeah, I mean, listen to it. I'm just to drop it on the... Oh, my God. This is crazy. It's crazy. I think I just put a dent in that. Yes, you did. After this break, we should come back and go over that interview.
Starting point is 01:43:40 I think it was pretty interesting. I think it's really interesting. It's interesting, too, I think, to see... You could tell it. She's struggling with the idea that, like, wait a minute, I was just the person, like a week ago for standing up to the entire government on COVID. and now everyone's doubting me the one time
Starting point is 01:43:57 they don't understand what I'm trying to do. I can see it from her perspective. I can too, but I think you have it right. People are so used to being let down. They're like, oh, here we go. She's not who she said she was. Yeah, and she had said she was going to sign this bill. I mean, she planned on doing it the whole time
Starting point is 01:44:14 and now it's changing approaches here. And I would like to explain a little more what I think she's doing because I think she's absolutely right. And I think we're all going to have to do this. this, we're all going to have to make sure, don't stand there alone because you're probably going to lose. That's why I keep saying to you, go find the parents in your school district that will go with you to the school board meetings.
Starting point is 01:44:41 Go gather in groups and work together because there is strength in numbers. Otherwise, as Franklin said, we all better hang together or we will certainly hang separately. that's what she's saying. I need somebody to hang with me on this hill. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to stand and you will lose it long term. Back in a minute. Let me tell you about life lock. Cybercriminals have been taking advantage of the COVID pandemic recently.
Starting point is 01:45:19 I mean, they've been doing it since it started, really. One of the things they're doing is attempting to exploit people's hardship, do the loss of a job or reduced hours at their work. The way they do this is phishing emails, fake websites. They say, oh, you know what? You're entitled to financial support. And we're the federal government, spelled wrong strangely, federal government.com. And people do it. And they end up losing everything.
Starting point is 01:45:49 It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft affect all of our lives. It's not just those kinds of things. What's worse is, especially during tax season, they get your name. your social security number, your address. They have everything they need and you lose it. And then when you find out, what do you do to fix it? That's where Lifelight, that's where LifeLock comes in. They not only watch for these dirt bags,

Starting point is 01:46:39 This is the Glenn Beck program. You know, life is not happening in a vacuum. And that's the problem with everybody involved right now. You know, it's like Donald Trump, he was not the problem. He was a symptom. He was a reaction to what is happening everywhere else. Donald Trump didn't run and wouldn't have won in the 1990. or the late 80s, it just wouldn't have happened.
Starting point is 01:47:08 Society was different. There was more decorum. Now, I mean, you're telling me he's out of line in a country that embraces Cardi B. Come on. It's a ridiculous, ridiculous standard. But when it comes to Christy Gnome, it works the opposite way with her now that she has to understand that people feel. feel unbelievably betrayed by everything in their life. And she said, well, but what have I done?
Starting point is 01:47:43 You know, in the last 12 or 18 months, well, in the last 12 or 18 months, you're kind of new to us. You know what I mean? And so, yeah, you stood for that, but I don't know you passed that. The nation, yeah, I think that's fair. For the nation. For the nation. And the people of the nation have been screwed by people in their own party over and over.
Starting point is 01:48:04 and over again and then screwed by even some people with their their houses of worship. I mean, they've lost everything they believed in. And so you can understand why people are like, yeah, I don't buy that. Yeah. It's interesting because you're right. The only thing that most people in America know really about Christy Noem is, is her stance on COVID, which was a brave stance for freedom in very difficult circumstances. And we gave her a lot of credit for that.
Starting point is 01:48:30 And she also really is, she's participated in rodeo. so I give her an extra, you know, hoorah for actually being a rodeo. Oh, because you're just, just ranch, you're basically a ranch hand at this point, you know. Well, you know, when you run. I can't take it.
Starting point is 01:48:46 I can't take it. I can't take you trying to act outdoorsy. No, no, no, no. I just, I think rodeo people are just salted the earth people. I'm not saying I am a rodeo person. And I'm not saying I'm definitely not saying I'm a rancher. But I,
Starting point is 01:48:59 but I am saying that I know people like that. Right. That's true. Yeah. And they're good people. Some of that rubs off. That makes sense. Very little.
Starting point is 01:49:07 But I know people like that. And they're just salt to the earth common sense. And she's in South Dakota. And she hasn't showed me anything but common sense. Yeah. And I think like, look, I, there is obviously some, some questions about this and some rational approach from her, right? Like where you can see, obviously, she's putting through three quarters of the bill, right?
Starting point is 01:49:28 Yeah. Under 18, that's just going through as well, you know, as as as long as they fix these lawsuits she's trying to put it through but again I can understand a person saying like look that's what they always say they always say they're building a coalition for the future and they always say they're going to put the bill through yeah and then they could say next time well you know what well there's another problem with it she could bring up new things and she might fail and she might but like everyone in the audience seem to like her yesterday or two days ago it is a little psychotic And it's like a little bit like, it's like, why not just see if she does the thing she says she's going to do?
Starting point is 01:50:07 If she does them, then it's not going to be an issue. Part of the problem might be that we love people too much. Yes. To quickly. We jump on the bandwagon too quickly. We're like, we jump off the bandwagon too quickly. We're the person that shows up for the second day, for the second date. And we're like, how about a hot air balloon ride?
Starting point is 01:50:24 Right. That's too much too fast. Too much too fast. Yeah. It is a, it's a, there's no reason to make your lifelong decision on Christy Noam today. Right. Like you could, she is saying her approach will work better. Let's check her work.
Starting point is 01:50:43 If it doesn't work better, you're going to have a good argument to say Christy Noam shouldn't be the person in 2024. You know that. You know that she does have the record with the rodeo, you know, of actually saying men and women. Yeah, again, I didn't know that until today. Yeah. But again, okay, yeah, sure. You know her history. And if we didn't love people too much too quickly, we almost smother them.
Starting point is 01:51:09 We're almost like, we just want to be loved so much. We're like, let me just hold you. Can I get you anything? I'm here. I'm your slave. I'll do anything you want. You are the best. And then they're, then they, you know, then they fart.
Starting point is 01:51:21 And you're like, oh my gosh, you are the most despicable person I've ever met. We are psychotic girlfriends. psychotic. Psychotic boyfriends at this point. Because we jump in super hard the second week. We do the same thing with celebrities, by the way. The first celebrity that comes out and says like, you know what, I think taxes should be 0.1% lower. We're like, oh my gosh, it's a conservative.
Starting point is 01:51:42 We love you. And then, of course, the next day they say something else and then we hate them again. Look, I think the lesson here. Wait, hang on just a second. The exception to that is what's his name that wants to run for governor here? Oh, Matthew McConaughey. Yeah. I kind of liked him then. I kind of like him now. I didn't really trust him then. I don't really trust him now. I mean, I haven't. Like him as an actor and maybe a person. I don't know what it was my governor. I mean, I was just like, I don't really. I'm not really. I don't think he would like his policies. I don't think so either. But, you know, people are like, maybe he could be. Yeah. Now, let's let him act. I mean, but look, Christine Ome has been one of the most aggressive governors in the country on obviously COVID. but also abortion.
Starting point is 01:52:29 There are two important issues. This issue, she would, even if she only passes what the 75% of the bill that she's saying she wants right now, it would still be among the most aggressive approaches. It's certainly much more aggressive than Ron DeSantis in Florida on this issue. I mean, and you know what? Again, people keep now, because now the thing is to be in love with Ron DeSantis, who by the way had a mask mandate, who did have shutdowns in his state. I mean, again, I like DeSantis.
Starting point is 01:52:58 I like him. I think he did a great job. And so do I think, Noah. But it's like, now we just all love DeSantis and don't like Noah. I don't understand. I can't keep track of who we're supposed to love and hate from day to day. It's really tough. It's really tough.
Starting point is 01:53:15 I think that's probably why. Hopefully, that's one reason why if you're listening to us, well, if you're not listening to us, then how are you hearing me? You're insane. But if you're listening to us now, I think that's one of the things. that you like is we we have no friends in politics. No, no. When I said that to Christie earlier, like, I think I literally have three people that I've known for a long time that will still talk to me that are in politics because I'm just,
Starting point is 01:53:41 I'm not going to, I'm not going to hold water for you. If you suck, you suck. Yeah. You might not suck on this or that, but I'm not going to, you know, when, when, so when Christy was on, I was actually worried about that interview because I was like, you know what? if she starts to get slimy, I'm going to have to say, you're turning into a slime bag. And you've done it many times.
Starting point is 01:54:00 I have. And then we never talked to them again. We never talked to them again. But I think if like if the primary election for president of the United States were taking place today, there'd be a much more reasonable idea to, to want to question her. Because we've seen like, will you end the filibuster? I don't know. We'll have to wait and see. We know what that means.
Starting point is 01:54:25 But we will have time here to see how she reacts to other situations. And again, I keep looking at this on the national scale as a presidential candidate. But like if she's a presidential candidate, we're going to have to look at her entire breadth of work, not just what she did during COVID. We're to look at all of it. And we were going to have multiple years of watching her progress through these issues. She is take, again, the stand for COVID was tough, right? Really tough.
Starting point is 01:54:51 This one is also tough for a different reason. as she points out, and this is definitely true, it would have been very easy for her to just sign it and then watch it get overturned in the courts or watch them lose in some other arena. That is an easy political move to make. This is a tough stand for her against the base, and let's see if she's right. You have to realize that the country you grew up in is no longer this country. You might feel like you still live in the same country, and you notice things, and you're like, Well, that's weird.
Starting point is 01:55:23 That's never been like that before. Everything's changed. No, no, no. I don't think you understand what everything has changed really means. She is playing in the New America, where it's an America full of ESG scores, environmental, social justice and governance scores. She's already on the crap list, okay? Not her, but the state is already on the crap list.
Starting point is 01:55:53 when you have a coalition that is as strong as the social justice coalition is right now, if you stand against it in your state, and you could say this is selling out, but it's not if you're saying I'm fighting it in a different way and you mean it. And that we'll find out in time. But her logic here is sound because it's not just the NAACP. I mean, we can say this. you know, she can't.
Starting point is 01:56:24 South Dakota, man. Yeah. Who cares about it's not like you're getting the final four, you know. That is part of the issue too. Right. Like the NCAA, if the NCAA has to make a stand that we're not going to Florida, Texas, and 10 other states that are red, it's going to be a lot harder for them to resist that. But that is to say, I'm not going to South Dakota. But that is the thing, even thinking like yesterday's world.
Starting point is 01:56:50 You have to think. that those coalitions now have the partners with them that are in the financial industry, that are in big business. And if they start to put together a coalition, your state is done because then your state, you're not going to, banks are like, well, I don't know, we're going to have to downgrade their bank, their lending status or their borrowing status because they have a low ESG score. You start to have all of it fall apart. When she says, I have to do it for all people.
Starting point is 01:57:28 I think she's talking about business and not in the way that you're hearing from some talk radio people about she sold out to big business. No, you don't understand what's coming. It is a force. Well, it. Watch the end of what is it? hours. It's that kind of with saron. Uh, did you ever see this? You know, the Lord of the Rings. Oh, God. No. Yeah, well. It is that is, it's that army that is coming. And we're the ones sitting in the, we're the ones sitting in the, uh, you know, broken down castle going, uh, crap. You better have
Starting point is 01:58:15 a plan before you take on that army, because that is what's amassed against us now. All right. Yeah, but the Constitution will protect. Shut up. Yeah, like, I'd just give her a chance. If she fails, it'll be easy to say. Yep, she failed. Harry lives in Massachusetts.
Starting point is 01:58:38 This time last year, he was in pretty dire straits. He'd lie down in bed at night. Pain would just shoot up and down his back all night. He was having horrible back spasms. It wasn't great when he was standing, but lying in bed just brought the hammer down. It was affecting his. sleep obviously affecting the rest of his life.
Starting point is 01:58:56 He didn't know what to do. Then he was listening to this program. Yeah. Yeah. He's like, this clown actually is making sense right now. You know, stranger things have never happened,
Starting point is 01:59:07 but this one happened. He decided to give it a try. And he thought, if it doesn't work in three weeks, I'm out 20 bucks. But if it does work, it's, you know,
Starting point is 01:59:17 I'm going to maybe sleep from time to time. Guess what? It took two weeks. Within two weeks, of taking Relief Factor, Harry said he had his life back. So can you. Just try it. It works for 70% of the people who try it.
Starting point is 01:59:32 In three weeks, you'll know. 70% of the people who try it go on to order more month after month because it works. It's Relieffactor.com. Relieffactor.com, 800, 5803.83.84. It's Relieffactor.com. Hello, and welcome to the program. It's been quite a day. I mean, it started with just some laughs with Kamala Harris.
Starting point is 02:00:05 I mean, she was asked a very serious question yesterday. Do you plan to visit the border? Not today. But I have before and I'm sure I will again. Oh, wow, that's a really good answer to that question. It's a funny, funny line in it? Not today, but I've done it before and I will again. None of that is relevant to what this conversation is we're talking about.
Starting point is 02:00:29 Every time she gets into a tough question, she just laughs. Yes. Yes. It is what you do. It is what you do, Kamala. You know, you're a socialist, aren't you? No. No.
Starting point is 02:00:41 I just do socialist policies. But I'm not as social. That's crazy. No. It's so annoying. It's an irritating tick. Oh, it really is. You know when she's lying.
Starting point is 02:00:57 You know she does that overlap. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And it's a little more charming than, did you see Casino Royale with, you know, James Bond, where the guy he was playing against, his tick was, I think his eye started to bleed. That, you know, that's a little more obvious. And, but it would be spookier, I think. I don't want, I don't want a vice president whose eye bleeds every time he lies. That would be bad.
Starting point is 02:01:23 Well, well, well, it would be very short term. because he lies so much. They'd be out of blood within 25 minutes. So he just turned on camera. Hello, America. Tonight I want to talk to you about and then the blood just starts shooting out of their eye. At least you wouldn't see them though because there'd be blood all over the camera.
Starting point is 02:01:41 It would be great. It would be great. It's just a we're in a weird time. You know, I was telling you to say that. I was telling you off the air that I did this thing where the best states and the worst states how they perform through COVID with all the different measures. Yeah. And, you know, South Dakota did not finish first. she was great on
Starting point is 02:01:59 on freedom aspects but like you know they had a real bad run of the disease and did not perform as well as some other states and I remember as I was finishing and I'm like oh the audience is going to hate this because they're going to want South Dakota to win because they they all say Christi Domes and I you know you just had that feeling and I'm like well look this is what the spreadsheet says
Starting point is 02:02:14 I'm going with it I don't care and now it's like she went from like the greatest person on earth to like the worst person on earth in like two days I just don't understand it's it's there's a diagnosis it's called schizophrenia we can all sort of to jump on the bandwagon. We all have it from time to time. I do not know what you're talking about, and neither do I.
Starting point is 02:02:32 Wait, what? I don't. What are you saying? Are you pissed off? Yeah, I'm really pissed off. Yeah. But I like you, but I'm pissed off. I hate you.
Starting point is 02:02:44 What? It really is. We are getting to that point. Such a confusing time. Such a confusing time. You know, it's really interesting to me to see there, we are at a time when which some politicians elicit incredible. amounts of loyalty.
Starting point is 02:02:58 And some get absolutely none. And I can't decipher from day to day which one is which. I would just like to, you know, everybody loves Reagan. You know, every conservative loves Reagan. Wouldn't he the guy who's like, give me 80%. Now if it's not 1001%, you are a traitor.
Starting point is 02:03:16 Yeah. It's like, guys, we are, that's a very small tent. That, that tent includes you. I'm kind of liking it. The tent is nice. I want to be in my tent alone. Ha ha ha ha.
