I want to talk to you a little bit about Jace Medical. Jace Medical, here we are in the 21st century and we don't have drugs. We already have a shortage of antibiotics. What do you think is going to happen? That's going to get worse and worse and worse. But good news is we have the complete live system where, you know, if we have to ration, but that'll never happen. Oh, boy. Please put yourself in a safe situation and have some of these life-saving antibiotics.

on you, in your house, on your, you know, vacation, take it with you. It's a Jace case. But be prepared. Five different antibiotics for emergency use. You also, in some cases, could jump on the phone with a certified physician so they can make sure that everything is good with writing the prescription. And then, if something does happen, you also can get that physician on for treatment-related questions at any time.

and the big crash, 25 banks failed and had to be bailed out. 25 banks failed. Washington Mutual, the single largest bank failure in U.S. history. Over the one-year period of the bank failures, they all had to be bailed out to the total of $526 billion, over 12 months.

What have we done in the last five weeks? I'll give you that shocking stat in 60 seconds. Versus the weather heats up outside, that means it's time to pull the cover off the grill and get to work. If inflation is threatening your turn to turn your summer into a bummer, I have news for you. If you like hamburgers and steak and chicken and everything else you can grill outside, it might be too expensive, you know, by the end of summer, but you're going to lock in your price right now with good ranchers. And it's really, really good meat. Most grass-fed beef is imported from overseas, but not with good ranchers.

They source all of their high-quality beef and chicken and fish from local farms, ranches, and I don't know if you have to break a trout. Do you have cowboy fish, cowboys on a ranch for? I don't know how that works, really. Good ranchers donates 10 meals to Americans in need with every box ordered. That's over a million meals so far. You can do good while you eat really well. Head on over to Good Ranchers.

Use my promo code Beck for $30 off any box. You can feel good about the 100% American locally sourced meat you're putting on your grill and your plate. Make this summer one to remember by starting it with American meat at a locked in price from good ranchers.com. Use the promo code back. Save $30. Good Ranchers. So, Stu, yesterday we were talking, how much did, how much did you say the FDIC had in its full account? Gosh, I don't have the number up in front of me still, but I think it was $128 billion.

Yeah, something like that. Something like that. Let's just be generous. Say it's $150, because that's over, right? Yeah, I think so, yeah. Okay, so $150. In 2007, 25 banks, 25 banks. They had to be bailed out, including Washington, Washington Mutual, the single.

largest bank failure in history total of $526 billion and that was over 12 months. In the last five weeks we have had three U.S. banks fail and

we're already over the 2007 total by $6 billion. This is the data from the Federal Reserve or it and I don't know if there's more to come because the Federal Reserve is, you know, have to wait two years before they give you the official numbers. So I'm not, you know, can't, we can't verify for two years.

Now, that is adjusted for inflation, but it doesn't include Credit Suisse a month ago. And we have no idea how much the Federal Reserve provided in, emergency lending there because it was overseas a foreign bank. They don't have to report anything again for two years. Now you have PAC West and Western Alliance in deep trouble. Yesterday, the bank stock index lost 50% of its value in the past two months. It's starting to smell like a panic. There are other banks now on the chopping block. So we are already ahead of 2007 in bank failures compared to 2007, we're already ahead of that. That's remarkable.

I mean, there's no feeling in the media, no... No. No indication to the average person that this is anywhere close to the size of what happened in 2008. And isn't it interesting that it took 27 banks to equal five this time, to beat five, five. And the whole point of their crappy legislation after this happened in 2007 and 2008 was to make sure these big banks don't get too big. Correct. They were supposed to avoid this exact thing. Yeah.

And now all of them are too big to fail. And now not only has a $213 billion bank gone under, but they sold it to the largest bank in the country. So that one's even bigger. First Republic. Now just think of this in deposits. Okay, just think of, you know, FDIC. All of this money isn't in deposits, obviously. But First Republic, $213 billion.

Silicon, $209 billion. Signature, $110 billion. 94 billion in 24 billion in 24 other banks and $432 billion in the Washington Mutual Bank. Okay. So, wow, that's not good, right? So 213 building, 209 billion, 110 billion, you're already over your FDIC. You're already over just that. Which is one of the reasons why they do these forced sales.

Correct. And you look at it was 432 in Washington Mutual Bank. Well, we've got that in two banks, two banks, already this failure, and another 110 billion on what it took for 100 billion in 07, 24 other banks. One bank. And it's over that. And how are you, where are you getting the money to bail all these, these people out with their deposits?

Where, where, where, this case, J.P. Morgan Chase, I guess, right? Now, remember, all that doesn't mean all that money is gone, right? These banks, when they go under, they just are. They sold, but they sold to J.P. Morgan. Chase for the good thing they took the good things that J.P. Morgan Chase could use. It'll help them grow even bigger. And they left on the table for the Fed, for us, all of the stuff that's collapsing. And we should also note that First National Bank would have collapsed months ago, if not for places like J.P. Morgan Chase, depositing $30 billion into their account to keep

it afloat. That already happened. And that's now in the past. Oh, we have no idea how much money they have given to these banks already. Okay, so let me ask you, what caused the instability? What, what caused Silicon Valley Bank to go? Silicon Valley Bank was this, basically they had long-term assets. So they take, you know, you deposit $100, they take your $100, they deposit it into a fund that pays 2%.

And then all the interest rates go up because the Fed decided. to jack them all up. And suddenly, though the investments they made thinking, you know, it's long-term debt, it's very, you know, we haven't had inflation in such a long time. When the inflation goes up, it lowers the value of those, that $100 they invested. So now, to mark to market. Now they can't take the $100 out because it's locked in this investment. Right.

And they can only get it out at a lower rate and they don't have enough to cover the deposits that are there. Correct. Just terrible risk management combined with the Fed. doing something they hadn't done in 20 years. Okay. So that's what kicked off Silicon Valley Bank. And all of these banks, they're, they're all out of whack. Yeah.

I think it's partially in play here with First National. And then signature had a little bit more crypto exposure, but that was, which was a little bit of that. But you also have the problem that there is a tight money supply, right? Because of the jacking up of the rates. So all things, everything's stopping. Okay. Today, today, the Federal Reserve is slated to raise interest rates for the 10th time in over 12 months. The 10th time after their two-day meeting yesterday, Central Bank expected to announce a quarter point hike,

which would bring the Fed's benchmark interest rate to a level between five and, and 5.25%. So that's great. But they are saying, but we think this will get it under control. If not, we're going to have to do it again. You're at a breaking point. I know nothing about this stuff.

I know nothing about this stuff, but I know enough to know you cannot continue to raise interest rates or you will break the back of the economy. But they're doing it anyway. Now, what's the other thing that they say could break the back of the economy? The other thing is the debt ceiling. If we don't pay our bills, we're going to be downgraded. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we will.

So what is the plan? The House says, we'll negotiate. White House won't negotiate. We'll negotiate. But if you want the debt ceiling raised, you've got to cut spending. Now, we'll show you where we think you can do it, but you got to cut it. So where are you cutting spending? But White House says we're not.

Now, think of this. Your inflation is caused by too many dollars. We've printed too much money. That's why they're raising the interest rate. That brings that money, sucks it back into the treasury where they can burn it. Okay? Get rid of it. Our government is borrowing more money, which they then have to print far more than you and I are spending at T.J. Max.

Okay? Far more than all of Americans, we went out and we just were on a credit card binge. we wouldn't make a dent into what the federal government is spending. And yet we're going to be the ones paying the price. Why is nobody up in arms saying you've got to cut the deficit? You have to stop spending money. But the Democrats in the House and the Senate and the White House say Congress has to raise the debt limit without any spending cuts or any other conditions.

Screw you. Where is my representation? Sincerely, where is my reputation? Yes, we can vote for clowns, but they have given away their responsibility. They have given away the only thing that can be done with an out-of-control government is to cut the budgets

and bring it back under control. That's the job of Congress. But they gave that away. In 2008, we don't care anymore. Well, how am I being represented? How are you being represented? They don't care. They'll bail everybody's, you know,

college funds out. They'll bail them out. because they don't have to answer to you. It's being done through the administrative arm. That's unconstitutional. And what are they doing? They're saying that a debt ceiling from Congress is unconstitutional. They don't need it.

They're actually now pushing that. That Constitution doesn't say anything about a debt ceiling. No, because our Constitution says pay your debts. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. That's actually their argument, too, that the Constitution says pay your debt. So even if Congress makes a law saying we have a debt ceiling, we can ignore it because the Constitution's because, you know, look, the left cares about the Constitution. You know, the Biden administration just, they're super constitutional.

It's all they care about. They want to make sure they're very loyal to that document. So that is actually the argument they're making behind the scenes and they've been floating to the media now. There says, oh, well, they're having these conversations. And Joe Biden's not sure if this is actually the right way to go. but this is what they're just to some aids are bringing it up they're always doing this stuff and uh look you know and even if it's not sure he'll just do it anyway he doesn't care he will just do it anyway evidenced by the student loan program which obviously is unconstitutional obviously and he's doing it anyway i want to i want to share something that's going on on the border and it's

only going to get worse and his reaction to it and uh I'm going to say some things that I think just need to be said because they're truth. It is absolutely true and it needs to be said by all of us. If we don't admit what the problem is, we'll never fix it. 60 seconds away. Starla wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor. She says, I know people get tired of commercials, but you know what? Relief Factor really works.

After two weeks of taking it, my pain is gone. gone just gone i've begun recommending it to all my friends who are dealing with pain i never would have recommended this i mean unless i had tried it myself and found it to work thank you so much for relief factor thanks for writing in it is hard to believe that something all natural uh and you know something that you know you're listening to some boob on the radio we're like a relief factor and your thought is do they really believe that they really really say, do I believe? At least I do. I took it. I saw a difference in my life. I still take it. It changed my life. It may be able to do the same thing for you. Will you just try the three-week

quick start? Relieffactor.com. Relieffactor.com. Or call 800 the number four. Relief. 800, the number four relief. Relieffactor.com. Feel the difference. Ten seconds. Station ID. All right. So the White House has said that they have cut the border crossings by 90%, which is not true. Not true. Here is a clip from El Paso, Texas. If you happen to be watching, I'll describe it here. This is El Paso, Texas.

It's an American city. Yeah. Just homeless people. Everywhere. Ten cities. People have built clothes lines to drive. dry clothes. Thousands?

Glenn, would you say? Oh, thousands. Easy thousands. Lining the streets. They're lining the streets. They're all the way from the street,

uh, all the way to the, to the houses or the buildings. So they're taking up the yards, everything. Sidewalks. That's an American city. That's an American city.

And you have the balls of, uh, Lori Lightfoot and, uh, what's his? name in New York saying you got to stop sending these people to us we're overwhelmed you're Chicago try being El Paso and have this on your streets I'm sorry Texas isn't a dumping ground now listen the president is going to send some people to the border

because he really cares and he is going to send the National Guard. And he says to secure the border, which is already secure. That's not true. It's not true. And he's not sending them to secure. He is sending our military down to help process paperwork. Next week, we are going to be hit by a tidal wave.

They are expecting 10,000 people every day. Right now it's about 2,000. 10,000 people every day. I think it's time we have a frank talk and we ask, what is it that the president has exchanged the virtue, the sweetness, the hope, the dreams of little boys and girls who are raped by drug cartels, trafficked by drug and sex rings?

Tell me, what did you exchange that for, Mr. President? You don't care. You lost 85,000 children. 85,000 children, you don't know where they are. Our president, he's a pimp. He's a pimp. He's a drug smuggler. he is helping the sex rings with children here in America.

He is helping the drug cartels get fentanyl. Why do you think we're having so many problems with fentanyl? Because our borders are open. And I'm sorry, but there is no way any rational, reasonable human being who actually cares about. America, the American people, and human beings doesn't do something on the border to stop this. The women that are raped on the way. The drug cartels, they own us.

So what did you get out of it? President Biden, what deal are you getting? Is it just the destruction of America? Is that what you're doing? Or are you so out of touch that you don't even know this is going on? I could go either way. But I think you are in the grips of evil. Because only evil would turn a blind eye to what is happening to children, mothers,

even single guys, families. You want to take your family over the porter and arrested in the arms of a drug cartel to get you across? What does that cost you? What does that cost you? More than money. Mr. President, shame on you. Not only will America pay a heavy price for this, but mark my word, sir, in the attorneys you will forever pay. When we lose, one of our servants.

members or first responders, the tragedy doesn't end on that day, especially for their families. Who's there to help pick them up? Pick up the pieces. Pick up the family. Tunnel to Towers is there.

We're not. We have no idea, but it is coming from the Russian government. They're not only saying that it was an attack on the Kremlin. They say that it is an assassination attempt on Putin. This is really not good. Russia said that they will, they reserve the right to respond appropriately. Now, if you want to do it proportionately, I think you'd throw a sparkler over the border because it did no damage. It looks bad, but it did no damage. Can we talk about something else for just a second before? I, you know, it's time that we start talking about heroes, good things. For instance, did you know the trans-identified male has just won first place in the women's cycling tour? Did you know that? No. Yes. Congratulations. She, He, they won. They won. They won.

Taking first place. The first female with junk in her pants. Taking first place. And I, I, I, hats off. Also, there's a bearded man who claims to be a woman, but doesn't do anything about it. It just still looks like a man, but he's, yeah, he's a good looking woman. he'd throw some makeup on, you know, spend five minutes in front of the mirror, dude. Anyway, he just won.

Yeah, another winner, the women's poker tournament. He just won. So you got that. So this is good for women. This is good for women. And I, you know, a lot of people might take this as being sarcastic, but there is a guy in Delaware County, in Indiana. He is a Delaware County, Indiana councilman.

he's Ryan Webb and he is the first Republican local councilman to come forward as a lesbian woman of color and Ryan hats off to you I appreciate the invitation and thank you for the recognition

sure sure now how long have you been contemplating this transition to a woman well I'm not really sure how long I've been contemplating it. I felt, I felt this way for quite a long time and just really wasn't sure the right time to do it. But as, you know, with each passing day, it's become more and more socially acceptable and the rules have become ingrained and set in stone as such that

someone such as myself who has no real ambition to actually live life as a woman, however, knows it in my heart that I am a woman. I thought this was the right time for me. me to go ahead and announce that that's the way I choose to self-identify. I think that's great. You did say in your Facebook post that you noticed that there wasn't any LGBTQ representation on the council board. And you are the first woman of color, too. What color are you? Well, I appreciate you saying that, and I did notice that.

And I thought, you know, we just need a little bit more diversity. We had way too many straight white men on the council. And I thought, you know, we can do something about this. But to answer what my heritage is, I am Cherokee, Native American on both sides. Very proud of that. And which qualifies me as the woman of color that I am. Oh, so you're not just a white guy that is now saying I identify as a woman of color. you're actually

I mean we could you know in the old days I would say scientifically show your bloodline has Cherokee in it oh yeah yeah fully backed up with the documents of AncestryDNA.com you know shout out to them but yeah yeah that is the fact

so now you say you're excited to be a vocal partner of the LGBTQQIAPC plus plus movement and just how far can we take things? You're glad that, you know, now anyone, just like you, can be anything or anyone they want. Where, what do you, how far do you want to take things? Well, you know, with this whole journey of, you know, gender discovery and who you are,

I'm just riding the wave, and wherever it takes me is where it goes. And I've said before, you know, oftentimes with these things, they're very complex. sometimes we end up right back where we started. But for what I'm trying to do as far as, you know, promote some awareness within the community, is to, you know, there's a lot of bad information out there from some of these folks as being intolerant and hateful. And I want to show the world that some of us are pretty down the earth and sensible people. We're not all crazy. Right. Right. Okay.

Have you had your first period yet? Well, you know, I had something going on the other day, but I wouldn't classify as that. I think I just had a little bit of indigestion. Okay. All right. Well, be prepared. You should keep some family, talk to your, are you married? I am.

You are married. You are married. You are married. Yeah, beautiful white brandy. We have six kids. Wow. She's fairly excited about the new designation of not only being married to a woman of color, but celebrating our diversity as an interracial married couple.

Right. Right. Now, she is excited that you are now identifying as a woman. Well, you know, she stands behind me and everything that comes with it. And, you know, she's been sitting back watching things like everybody else. Yeah. She's not, she's not naive to the benefits to come with being a woman of color. So we're hoping that, you know, our kids will be accepted to some colleges that they previously made up.

Right, right, right. So, you know, the sky's the limit. So she's excited about that. And she's identifying now as a lesbian. Well, she's not necessarily changed her identity. I don't think she can argue the point that that's what she is. but she's allowed me to go on my journey, and her journey will take her wherever it chooses to go. Right, and you are a lesbian, though.

You'll only sleep with women. Yeah. Yeah, yes. And I've offered to prove that if anyone doesn't believe it. I'm very affectionate with my wife in public, so I think I've more than stood on my own two feet with that statement. You know, a lot of people, Ryan, we're talking to Ryan Webb. He's a local Republican councilman who has just come out as a lesbian woman of color. And the first one on the council.

And that was very brave of you. So hats off on just your bravery. A lot of people would say that you are making fun of wokeness and the fact that men will always be men and not women. Is there any truth to that? Well, those allegations have been made. Now, I wouldn't make those allegations. I'm not saying that. In fact, I don't know what rulebook they're reading from,

but my understanding was that we weren't allowed to question someone's gender identity, that it's simply declaring it, and it is so, you might as well write it in red. So I'm not necessarily making fun of anyone. I'm just expressing how I'm choosing to live my life within the boundaries and rules that's been set forth by society and passed the test. So they can say that all they want, but I don't need their confirmation or their affirmation or any of the Asians. I'm living my own life. All right.

Ryan, again, we salute you as a very brave, brave. It is hard in these days to come out on something, you know, like this and stand there all alone, surrounded by all of the real power in society, you know, holding your. hand and propping you up and giving you all kinds of benefits. And that's a scary place to be. So. Well, you are correct with that. And in the beginning, you know, some folks didn't really know how to how to take it. Some were upset. But as the days have went on, I've been receiving a lot of support. And to be honest, Glenn, the local leftist in my community, they're the ones who insisted on making this story a national story. Me personally, I would like to focus more on the

important things that we're doing on the council, such as increasing transparency and increasing the wages for all of our county employees. But unfortunately, this is what we're talking about. Yeah. It's a really sad situation. Yeah. All right. Well, Ryan, you keep with your truth.

Okay? I appreciate that. All right. I will. I will. Thank you so much. That's Ryan Webb, Delaware County, Indiana. County Councilman, brave.

Very brave. Very brave. take a stance like that. And I know, sincerely, I assume they are going to be celebrated for this, because that's what our society does. Well, I don't, you know, I appreciate that he's keeping his name because I don't want a dead name anybody. Right. But who am I to question what he believes, what his truth is and what his truth may not be? You just did three in a row. He, he and his? Are you kidding me? Oh my gosh. I am so. That is disgusting what you just did.

You are so brave. Thank you. You are so brave. Thank you. I am. I mean, going along with what everybody who has any kind of power at all, just going along and sniffing their butt and holding their hand. Yep. You know, and doing exactly what you're told.

You are so brave. Thank you for affirming me. Well, thank you for affirming. Well, you haven't yet. You have. I affirm you. Okay. Wow.

I affirm you. Wow. Oh. Don't you feel... I feel heard and affirmed and just kind of, I don't know, like it's my first day of being a girl. You know, you pass, you're very, would make a very attractive female. Not that that's what your journey is right now. That's not what my journey is right now.

But damn it, let me tell you something. If I do become a girl, you damn well better say that I'm not only a girl, But I'm a good looking girl. Oh, I will affirm the hell out of you for that. Yeah. All right. So thank you. I affirm you too.

Thank you. This has been a great. See, this is how we all come together. This is the mutual affirmation society. We just speak the truth that our overlords demand we speak. And then we can all get along. And that's all you have to do. You just have to say what your truth is and it becomes the truth.

Well, with one exception, with one exception. Uh-huh. If someone says they're trans and then they commit a mass murder, then it's totally okay to say actually they were lying the whole time. Any other instance, though, you must affirm what they said. And I would like to make another correction, and I hate to... Are you disaffirming me? Disaffirm you.

But I think it's actually deaffirm. Okay, sorry. You've been officially... How about de-apostrid? Deferm. Thank you. Okay, I hate to de-firm you. But there, you know, you said you can say whatever, your truth, and it is truth.

And that's not true. there is truth, Stu, and it's your truth and it's my truth. But there are some people that don't agree with that truth that we're getting from, you know, the experts. And those people should be shut up. You know? Because they're not brave. No. They're Nazis.

We defirm them. We defirm them. Thank you. All right. Hey, it's a great day on the Glenn Beck program. I think we've just solved another problem. Thank you so much, Ryan, for being on the program.

So, you know, I don't think that, I mean, Russia has a good sense of humor, right? Putin, he's got a good sense of humor. You know, it's like, hey, we're going to send some drones over and try to blow up the dome of the Kremlin. He's going to love it. He's funny. He's a little too slapstick for me. Right. You know, right, he's pretty funny. Right. I think he's going to take this in stride. Yeah.

In the tone that it was intended. Those hilarious joke. He'll shoot, he'll pretend to shoot somebody in the head and then they do a Prat fall in front of him. Oh, that's funny. Yeah. It's really funny. Yeah.

This is suspicious as an attack by Ukraine, right? Like they're going to send these tiny little drones over there that seem to do no damage whatsoever. It's an odd. If it is them, it would be very odd. could easily also be the other side trying to set something up. They're supposedly going to have an offensive around the corner.

It could easily be a justification for that. Putin could have been running the drone. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. And the fact that they're calling this an assassination attempt on him. Yeah. That's how they framed it.

Was he, did he strap himself to the top of the dome of the Kremlin? Well, they're saying they intercepted it. The explosion you're seeing is supposedly them intercepting this drone. But when they intercepted, it explodes in the way that it almost looks like a gender reveal party. It's like, it's his tiny little... That would piss him off. Yeah.

It's a tiny little baby explosion. Yeah. Which would, I guess if it literally landed on Vladimir Putin's head, it probably would have killed him, but it would have gone in through the window and landed at the foot of his bed while he's sleeping. Hard to imagine that that would be their chosen way to attack if what they were doing. But again, it doesn't matter. No, what's important here only is how Russia is framing it.

And how they're framing it is an attack on Putin directly and by the Ukrainians. Yeah, they're using the words, an attack by the Ukrainians on the Kremlin and an assassination attempt against Putin. And they said there was two drones total that is supposedly intercepted. So I don't know. I mean, you know, is it true? That's a totally different story that will, I guess, maybe through his. History will find out. It doesn't. Again, we don't even know.

Truth doesn't matter anymore. And it's hard. It really doesn't matter pragmatically in the near future. Like, I want to know, of course, eventually who did this if we can. But long, that's long term. Short term, they are going to obviously use this for some sort of response. If it was a legitimate attack from Ukraine, you'd expect it. I mean, they're at war with each other.

We shouldn't be shocked that that would be true. It just seemed like it would be a very strange way of doing it for Ukraine. It doesn't seem like a. you know, but people do weird things in war. Who knows? It just seems like it would be a bad attempt. If, you know, Osama bin Laden flew a little drone and it went into the side of the building, we wouldn't be like, we're at war with Al-Qaeda.

But if we wanted to frame it a certain way, we could. And that's what you're wondering about here. All right. More in just a second. More on the economy. And Mike Lee joins us to talk about some of the things like debt ceiling when we come back. The Glenn Back Program. Let me tell you about home title lock.

I don't know if they're not stopping fights in the middle of the streets, they're probably not stopping home title fraud either. Home titles are online now. And once a criminal access is your home's title, you could be in serious trouble. They can sell the house out from under you. So when is the last time you checked to see if your home's title is still in your name? Probably like never or maybe when you bought the house, if anything. The folks over at home title lock have demonstrated to me how online criminals can get you in just a few minutes. they were able to find my title and forge my signature and show me they could have easily

stolen my house. Thankfully they didn't. Home title lock helps shut this kind of thing down. It's what they do every day. They do it better than anybody else. And you don't want to find out what the damage is like once it has already been done. So be proactive. Stop the crime before it happens.

We've got a lot to go over with Senator Mike Lee. He joins us. We're going to talk a little bit about the strike on Russia that just happened.

Don't know if he even knows about it. Then we also have the debt ceiling. What's happening in the Supreme Court? and the militarization of our government agencies. It's quite a smorgas board. We'll eat from that board here in just 60 seconds. I want you to think how is the best way we could possibly help those babies that their mom is going in to maybe have an abortion today. What's the best thing we can do to help? To me, there's two things. Save the baby and save the mother.

I've gotten so many letters from people who have had abortions in the past, and they all start the same way. I've never told anyone this. I so regretted I've thought about it my entire life since. We have to save the moms and the babies, and then we have to help the moms be great moms and take some of the burden away from mom as she's raising the baby. That's what a pre-born clinic does. First thing, stop the baby from being killed. That's show mom the baby on an ultrasound and the heartbeat.

That's where you come in. Right now, any gift you would make to pre-born is tax deductible. 100% of your gift, 100% goes toward saving babies. $28 bucks buys an ultrasound for a mom who really probably doesn't want one. So that's why they offer them for free. Pound 250. Buy an ultrasound or two or three. Pound 250, say the keyword baby, or you can go to preborn.com slash Beck. That's preborn. That's preborn.com slash Beck, sponsored by Preborn. Senator Mike Lee. How are you, sir? I'm doing great. Good to be with you, Glenn. Yeah, thank you. I have a rule that Stu and I heard about

on a ruling this week and that I want to talk to you. I got to get to that too. But first of all, have you heard about the strike of what is being called Ukrainian drones hitting the

Kremlin, blowing up last night, didn't do any damage to the Kremlin, but they shot them out of the sky and they said that it was an assassination attempt. They were headed towards the presidential palace. I read about this in the Guardian just before I took this call and is a significant development. We know very

little. I don't know any more than what's been reported publicly. But that's certainly a significant development of that conflict. The questions in my mind is to what kind of weapons were being used, where they came from, how they were deployed and so forth. But yeah, this is a significant escalation in that conflict. I mean, if another country, sent even a little drone with firecrackers in it and hid into our Capitol Dome trying to make even just a statement, I would think that we were, we would be closer to war footing in a serious, serious way. Would you agree with that? Yes. Yes, one could certainly make that argument very persuasively. The point is that there really are consequences. There are significant implications that

come from getting involved in what might be characterized as a proxy war through a third-party nation. When you do that, there can be consequences. And so it's why this is cause for concern. We need to know more about how this happened, how serious it was, how close that came, because this could have implications for American national security. That's something we need to follow. So, Mike, can I ask you a question?

And it's probably a really stupid question for you. But so try not to make me look so bad. But where is my representation? I know I elect congressmen and I elect senators and I, you know, elect presidents. And so I can vote. But they are not abiding by the Constitution. I feel like most Americans feel like, wait, we're going to war with Russia. What is happening?

Why are we doing this? Nobody's even making the case. it seems like there are just, there's a machine that's just clicked on and no one can even question it. I saw yesterday, or I mean, last week, the president gave a billion dollars to China, just gave them a billion dollars. And I thought, did that go through Congress? Because that billion dollars is more money than like a whole town of people will ever give through maybe three generations of work. where is the representation of the people on these things? Yeah, as you point out, people are all over the place on this politically.

Those in Congress, in the Senate and the House, and in both political parties, who strongly support the aid that we've been providing to Ukraine and want us to provide more. There are others like me who have significant concerns with the ABU we've been providing to Ukraine. Just in the last 10 days or so, I sent a letter, along with a handful of my colleagues in the House and of the Senate, expressing brave concerns about what we're doing. This is a letter that on the Senate side was signed by me, along with Senators J.D. Vance of Ohio and Rand Paul of Kentucky. And it was led by Representative Eli Crane and signed by about 15 congressmen on the House side.

And the letter says in part that unrestrained U.S. aid for Ukraine needs to come to an end. And that we plan to oppose future aid packages, especially if they're not linked to some clear diplomatic strategy designed to bring the war to a rapid conclusion. That's been our great concern. Glenn, you wouldn't believe that how much opposition there is to this very simple concept there. Oh, I would. People have just adopted lock, stock, and barrel the assumption that this war is an unmitigated good, that our support for this war is an unmitigated good. Look, I don't like Vladimir Putin. I am not a fan of Russia. I also know that Russia has a lot of nuclear weapons.

I also know that that could cause problems for us and our allies if we're not very, very careful. Yeah, and I also know, I also know that. that the Ukraine is one of the dirtiest, most corrupt countries in the world. And maybe 30% of our dollar is going to where we're trying to get it to. Most of it is going to these, you know, gangsters. It's all going to the elites and the gangsters over there. And nobody even cares. That's 70 cents on every dollar.

I don't know. I care about that. Yes, and you should care about that. And once it leaves our hands and goes to another country, it's very, very difficult, not just to control it, but even to account for where it went, whether it's in Ukraine or a lot of other countries. But as you point out, there are known problems within Ukraine, and especially during wartime. You're probably going to have even less accountability than you would. So, you know, Mike, we've solved this before. In World War II, we sent money to the Arab countries.

for the war in the Middle East, and we sent money to Hawaii. And when we did, everyone had the treasury seal, the ones in Hawaii. I can't remember exactly what they were, but one was like red, the seal instead of that green seal, and then the one in the desert was brown. And that way they could track where that money was going, and they could also say that money is worthless. It's no good. If it has a brown seal, don't accept it as money. We can do it.

We choose not to. Yeah. We don't do it. And the sheer volume of money that we're talking about here is itself independently caused for concern. We're talking about $113 billion that were appropriated by Congress last year alone for aid to Ukraine. Put that in perspective, Glenn. I'm told Ukraine in a typical year spends between $4 and $5 billion on defense in an entire year. And I'm told that in a typical year, Russia spends about $65 billion on defense.

So when we're talking about multiples, many multiples, dozens of multiples of what they spend on defense in Ukraine and close to double what Russia spends on defense in a typical year, that makes us a very significant player in this conflict. And I fear sometimes that people will. aren't entirely grasping the extent of our involvement and hence the extent of our exposure there. What I wish we were doing is identifying a way to resolve this conflict to bring it to an end. What I wish we were doing is focusing on the fact that if we figured out ways to get American oil and natural gas over to Europe, flood the European energy market with U.S. sources of energy.

Yeah, no. Russia would play a less dominant role. Russia would have less money to play with. Putin would have less capital to justify this conflict. Europe has laundered the oil. They're buying it through India, and India is buying it from Russia. That's what's happening. Let me switch topics.

The White House is now thinking that maybe we don't even need to have a debt ceiling. Maybe that's not even constitutional, so we don't have to do anything. The Fed is going to raise the interest rates again. They are squeezing the American people. they're squeezing the smaller banks and they're all being rolled up into the Fed banks. We're going to end up with maybe three banks, five banks, and they'll all be Fed banks. And they're raising the rate yet again, it seems. And yet they say they have to do that for inflation, but they will not even make mention of the spending of the federal government.

all of us could go on a spending spree with no limits on our credit card, and we wouldn't begin to spend half of the money that the federal government is spending on stupid things every single day. Yeah, and this is one of the reasons why I've got major concerns with Jay Powell at the Federal Reserve. Look, he came to us throughout the COVID disaster, the COVID nightmare. and continued to reassure Congress that, don't worry, you're spending trillions of dollars more than you're bringing in each year, but this is not going to have a significant impact on inflation. That has continued, and they continue to not warn the American people or Congress or the White

House about the very close connection between us spending too much money and having inflation. They don't talk about that. They instead resort to the Federal Reserve raising interest rates. which, by the way, is itself even too little. If you're going to use that tool exclusively, you'd have to go a lot higher than this with devastating consequences. But wouldn't it be nice, Glenn,

if Congress just stops spending more than we brought in? Yeah, yeah. I mean, I heard Schumer. They don't want to do this. I heard Schumer say, this is draconian, these cuts. We're talking about going back to the spending of what, 2020? How could that possibly be draconian? 2022, what is still allowing for a rate of growth increase beyond that.

This is absolutely absurd. Now, Glenn, as to your point about the constitutionality of debt ceiling increases and death ceilings, this is science fiction fantasy that they have come up with. I'll tell you what the 14th Amendment says. The 14th Amendment says we can't default. does that we have to honor the instruments of U.S. debt that we issue. That is very different than saying we do not authorize the Treasury Secretary to issue more instruments of debt, more U.S. treasury bonds,

once you go beyond a certain level. There is absolutely nothing in the 14th Amendment that justifies what they're doing. And by even floating that theory, they're engaging in lawlessness. Is there a way to make a deal? I mean, honestly, Mike, I'm to the point to where this government is spending my tax dollars on things that my congressman doesn't even get a chance to vote on. Don't even vote on them. They just do it. And where's my representation? That's taxation without representation. They are putting my children into the poor house and, everybody else is into the poorhouse because the administrative arm feels it's the right thing to do, and Congress is not even consulted. Not even consulted. That's right.

Look, what's happening here is the Democrats are doing what they always do when they don't like the rules, and they can't get what they want. They try to change the rules. But you can't simply reinterpret the Constitution to mean what you want it to mean in order to achieve your policy objectives. There is good news here. The good news is that the House of Representatives under the Republican leadership, Speaker Kevin McCarthy, passed a really good compromised package. We had a lot of members of Congress who have never voted before to raise the death ceiling.

Who did so on this one because this actually would do some things to bring inflation under control and bring federal spending under control so that we don't have to come back to this well as often as Congress frequently does. that is the offer, and they need to do that. Now, I'm leading a letter being signed by a number of Republican members of the Senate. We're committing to vote against cloture to oppose bringing debate to a close on any bill that would raise the debt ceiling without significant substantive spending and budget reforms. Good.

Because what the White House is calling for, remember, is a so-called clean debt ceiling increase. No. No. And we're not willing to do that. And we can get 41 Republican senators to sign on to this letter and to agree to support this effort. Then it'll go a long way toward making clear that any debt ceiling increase is going to have to contain significant restrictions. All right. Hang on just a second. Do you have time to hang on for five more minutes? Sure. Okay. Hang on. Five more minutes with Mike Lee. I got some questions about what's happening with the Supreme Court and something that I'd never heard of until on this program a couple of days ago.

And I don't know why we don't use this all the time. Relief Factor is our sponsor. Dolores wrote in. She said I started taking Relief Factor not long ago and so far completely stopped the arthritis pain in my hands. They were so bad it was getting impossible to do anything with them.

10 seconds, station ID. So, uh, we had a just. come out over the weekend and say, I pretty much know, I think, who leaked the Dobbs case, but I don't want to say. Then some internet sleuths were saying it's Sotomayor. Is there no way we can find out about this, Mike? Is there nothing that can be done? There's a lot that can be done. Look, all that has to happen. You need to reopen the investigation. The marshal of the Supreme Court, needs to be directed, to reopen it and conduct it with the help of deputize law enforcement

personnel from the U.S. Marshal Service. And they need to go back to all of these law courts and make sure that every one of them participates in an interview. I can guarantee they can find who this person is. Yeah, this is ridiculous. And the statement that came out this weekend was this was an attempt to get one of us killed. This was an assassination attempt. Right, right.

To either get one of them killed or at least cause a reasonable fear among them that they might be killed. And either way, whoever did this was good with that if it meant that it would mean no Dobbs majority opinion as it was in fact issued. But the day after this leak happened. So the leak happened one year ago yesterday. The day after, I was talking to our friend, Dan Bonchino, and Dan asked me essentially the same question. Can they find this? And I said, Dan, you're a law enforcement guy.

If I had access to you and they let the two of us go in there and ask them, we would figure out the right questions to ask. Yes. If we had access to all the law clerks, we could figure out who did it. I'm pretty sure it's a law. So you think it's a law color? You don't think that it is a Supreme Court justice member? No, no, I don't.

I think that's highly. not just unlikely. I think it's implausible. I think it was a lockwork. And if we had access to the lockwork, I told Dan, you and I could figure this out within 48 hours. Okay.

Because you go and you ask the right questions and you figure out who might have done it. You ask each lockwork to describe circumstances who they're talking to. You get the lay of the land, so to speak, among the lockwork. it's not going to be that hard. It sounds to me like some on the Supreme Court, including my former boss, Justice Alito,

might well have figured out who it is or narrowed it down significantly, at least. It's not that hard to figure this out. I don't know why they conducted an investigation in the first instance that was incomplete. Senator Mike Lee, I'm out of time now. I can't get to the question that I had for you, but may I ask you back to answer this? because it's a rule I've never heard of, and it just worked on the ATF on firearms. And I don't know why we don't use it all the time.

I just think about the Sixth Circuit's ruling on the rule of lenity. Yeah, hang on. I don't talk about that. You'll come back to talk about that? Heck yeah. Yeah, all right, good. Thanks. Mike Lee, Senator from the great state of Utah. All right, we're going to talk a little bit about the Fed

2007, 25 banks failed and had to be bailed out, including Washington Mutual, the single largest bank failure in U.S. history. The total was $526 billion, and it happened over 95 banks. And no, I think, no, I'm sorry, it happened over 25 banks. And it was 12-month period. In the last five weeks, we've had three banks fail, and we have already exceeded the 2007 total by about $6 billion.

I talked to her a little bit last night on Studio's America, Glenn. We went through, maybe we could talk to her about this when we get through this.

The commercial real estate. Yeah. Which is something I feel like has been really off the radar. for most people. But you think about the combination of this problem that we're having in combination with what happened after COVID where people don't want to go to these buildings anymore. They don't want to, they're not filling these office buildings anymore. Right.

It could be a real crisis. And they're all coming up for renewal of their loans. It's really not good. Carol? Yes, Glenn. Can you hear me. Yes, I can. Let me just say this.

Whoever does these kinds of things, put a hard line into her house so we don't have this problem again. Carol, the Fed is going to raise rates again. Isn't this banking thing? Are banks unstable because they've been raising rates? Yes, this has been a one-two punch from the Fed. They are the ones that have caused this problem. And unfortunately, nobody in the mainstream media is really pointing the finger

as what happened, when they had 15 years of accommodated monetary policy, suppressed interest rates, about nine years of that was at near zero interest rates for their target rate, and they built up their balance sheet to $9 trillion. That put a bunch of money in the system that wasn't based on market demand. That was based on the Fed plan God. And so there was too much money for the banking system to handle, and the banks had to make decisions, and they all made different decisions. We had Silicon Valley Bank who threw that its treasuries. We had First Republic who made really low-cost loans to rich people for their mortgages, so on and so forth.

But the reason that they were kind of making these boneheaded decisions is because they had all this money, and it really didn't foot with supply and demand. Then on the other side of the Fed doing that, when we ended up having not just the asset inflation, but it seeped into spending and consumer prices. Then we had way too much that changed on a dime from the Fed. They raised rates at an incredibly historically rapid rate to the point that now you have

all of these balance sheets upside down at these different banking institutions. And I heard you and Stu talking previously, you know, it's not just these decisions that we've been seeing, but things like commercial real estate. We have half of commercial real estate mortgages that are coming due within the next two years. And the most risky part of that is the office space. As we know, people aren't going back to the office like they were about our coming due to be refinanced during this year, during 2023. So we have those issues. We have risky pools of course.

Who's going to write those loans? We already have a liquidity problem. They keep saying, who is going to write the loans for giant buildings downtown that are sitting empty? Right. Who's going to write them at today's interest? Correct. And how is that math foot? It does not work.

And so we're going to end up with loans that are underwater. And we're going to see that ending up being an issue that goes throughout the banking system that we haven't yet seen. So in terms of your original question of kind of where we are, it's very possible that we are in like sort of the first third to half of something that's not just a recession, but something that is a legitimate financial crisis. And again, we need to point the blame at the Federal Reserve and at the government for having this negligent, destructive monetary policy. Because we keep hearing, oh, it's the banks and it's regulation. it's the Fed. So what is the problem with like Pack West and, you know, some of the others that were mentioned? Zion's bank was mentioned.

What's the problem with those guys? Is it the same problem? And it just once one goes down, then it makes those guys weaker? So we're going to end up with six banks. Yes. I mean, that's a problem. We call it the great consolidation, which is happening in all industries. And certainly is a real issue with the business.

banking system, which creates lots of issues, not just for consumer choice, but for introductions of things that I know you've been researching for your book for future, and I've been researching for you alone, nothing, CBDCs. It's much easier to implement a CBDC if you have five banks in the system. You shut down all talk about ending ESG if they're all fed banks. Because you have the five big ones, they're already in on it. They're completely in on it. And there's just a consolidation of more control in the system. And if you think about what we're talking about here, too big to fail,

we're seeing these small issues pop up in different places. But the fallback position is, well, there's some bigger banks to absorb it. What happens when you just have a few big banks? If something happens with those, game over. So centralization is definitely not my friend. And, you know, with each of these individual banks, like you were talking about, you know, they each have a different flavor of some issue where there was too much money. And so they put it into something where they're not earning a great return or their security,

you know, isn't doing particularly well. And then they have more deposits leaving the banks, A, because people are concerned, the information is coming out, and so they want to be somewhere where they feel that it's safer. And B, because they can earn better interest elsewhere. They can put money into a three-month or a six-month treasury and be getting around a 5% yield. Why would you put that cash in your regional bank and be earning less on that? So all of these things, again, caused by the meddling in the market. And, you know, we have to say it sounds kind of planned, right?

This is what happened after the Great Recession financial crisis. All of that legislation made it harder to have community banks. It decreased lending to small businesses. It favored the big banks and the big corporations. And we saw this during COVID. And we're seeing it again. It is that consolidation. It is that great reset.

It is that dark future. And at the end of it, you will owe nothing. Carol, quickly, because I've got two questions and I'm already out of time. Let's try this one first. The debt ceiling. They're all saying that we're not going to negotiate because the cupboards are bare. That is ridiculous to even, I mean, it's insulting, but most people aren't paying attention. If the Republicans stick to their guns or if Joe Biden sticks to his and he's like, I'm not moving.

And they're playing a game of chicken and nobody moves. What happens? I mean, I think that this June 1st date is somewhat of a joke. I mean, there is money in the system and there's just a question of prioritizing what you use it to pay for. they could shut down parts of the government, which obviously would be something that would be happy for the rest of us and use that money to pay the debt. If they decide that they're not going to pay the debt, then we know that it's intentional because this is a choice. There's money to make a decision. They may not have money to do everything they want, but they could prioritize paying off the credit

card. And if they don't, then I think we're in a very, very different scenario, Glenn. well I hope we don't I mean I hope we don't have to face that because then what do you do when you know it's intentional I mean we've been I've been on the air for 13 years and talked about oh we're going to default on the debt you know every single time and every single time somebody caves at the last moment so I think the probability is low but that doesn't mean it's an impossibility because we've seen who's in charge well yeah I have to you that, I mean, I hope the Republicans don't flinch. I mean, they should not give an inch. It is totally reasonable. Totally reasonable. They cannot. I talked about this with Stu before.

Jet sealing is supposed to mean you cannot spend anymore. They have modified this more than 100 times since the end of World War II. And we've racked up $31.7 trillion. So obviously having a ceiling isn't a working issue. They have to find a different way to keep this fiscal train from running off the track. Okay, 30 seconds answer. Don't a lot of mortgages reset, I mean regular residential mortgages far as the interest rate this year? So I think that most people, and I'd have to look up the specific number, have taken advantage of the low-cost debt and have locked in long-term interest rates. But if you have something that's an adjustable rate,

those are going to be an issue. But I think it's a pretty small part. Residential real estate shouldn't be the issue, especially given the undersupply this time around. I'm much more concerned about commercial, about corporate loans, about derivatives, about things on that side, not as concerned about residential. I'm glad to hear that.

Carol, thank you so much. My pleasure. bet get carroll's new book you will own nothing it comes out this summer right i think right after my book uh which is dark future you can order them both together online you can order them separately if you want to just get carroll's book um and also i am going to be in st george utah and about two weeks before the book goes out and we're going to have books there and you'll be able to pick them up there it'll be the first time you'll be the first time you'll be the first people to get the book, Dark Future. If you join us at our museum in St. George, Utah,

you can find out more about that. If you go to unitedwe pledge.org. That's unitedwe pledge.org. This is the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to the the Glenn Beck program. There is, I read something today, you know, the study that is out about, uh, How bad our schools are becoming? I think it's much worse than anybody really understands. It is it is to the point to where our kids maybe, maybe 20% know anything about American history. They are failing on everything. And think of that.

Think of 20% of our kids. No American history can pass an American history test. Okay? A grade appropriate. Only 20%. And think about what they've been taught. How much of that is real, true American history? Yeah.

That was like the Elon Musk interview with Bill Maher the other day where he said, he's talking to someone and they were talking about George Washington and they asked a kid, what do they know about him? And they said, well, he was a slave owner. That's it. not even he was president. He was a slave owner. That's really depressing.

Oh, it's really, really not good. I really encourage you to come see us in St. George. We're bringing the museum out for the very first time on the road, and it's open, I think, for 10 days, about 60% of the, it's open 12 hours a day for 10 days, and it's already 60% sold out. So you need to get your tickets for this. Bring your kids. Bring your kids.

It is, they will learn more history through that museum than they have probably even you learned in their whole life. There is true American history, the good, the bad, and the ugly. All of it is addressed. And it'll take you probably a couple hours. to go through it. And, you know, that's if you don't have a fathead like me, given the tour. I'm going to be giving some of the tours myself. But please join us.

Bring your kids. And you can get all of the ticket information at unitedwe pledge.org. Unitedwe pledge.org. There are so many American giants among us. And one of them is mom. So much of the goodness in all of us comes from our mother's selflessness, the caring, the loving, and the worry that she gave for us. Abraham Lincoln said, all that I am, I owe my mother. Moms always worry about their kids, no matter how old or how far away.

Let your mom know she did good. Get her something special this Mother's Day from American Giant. They began in 2012 when a clothing factory in North Carolina was shut down. They worked with the factory to keep it open, and now 10 years later, they make the best hoodie of all time. They make great quality American clothing. For spring and summer, a variety of colors. American Giant uses cotton that is grown in America, milled and cut and sewn right here by Americans. This Mother's Day, let your mom know that she is an American giant.

by American today at American-dash giant.com slash Glenn. That's American-dash-giant.com slash Glenn. You're about to hear a huge of entertainment. This is the Glenn Beck program. So if you're somebody who likes to be prepared for things to come, there is one thing that nobody ever really talks about because I don't think up until now there has been any way to do anything. about it, but it is a massive missing piece for anybody who wants to be prepared.

And I'm going to go there in 60 seconds. All right, let me talk to you a little bit about LifeLock. There is a story that I just saw today. I love this. New report released today by Fishing Detection and Response Solutions Company. The tales a staggering rise in credential fishing volume. In the first quarter, how much do you think it went up? People fishing for your information.

How much do you think of it? What would be bad? 10%. 10%. Bad, yeah, yeah, yeah. In the first month of this quarter, it went up 40%. Okay, that's a little more. But for the whole quarter, including that 40%, it's up a mere 527%.

But that's it. That's all? So, yeah. I don't know why you would want to have cybersecurity at all. I mean, nobody's really after that stuff. No one can prevent all identity theft, especially when it's up 527%. But the best in the business, in my opinion, is Lifelock by Norton.

I talked to these guys a year ago, and they had what they put together was the Jace case, and it has five different antibiotics in it. And I thought that was really great, because as we were talking, I said, you know, my daughter takes anti-seizure medication. You know, I'm on high blood pressure. And if you know anything at all about when the system breaks down, your antipsychotic drugs run out in 30 days. Your blood pressure, your anti-seizure, all the things that are keeping people alive that probably wouldn't have been alive, you know, a few years ago, they all run out in 30 days. Where are you going to get that?

That's the question I asked you guys a year ago. And you said, ah, we're working on it. Right. So let me bring in Dr. Sean Rowland. He is the founder and CEO of Jace Medical.

What are you bringing? Well, as you mentioned, this was, yeah, a year ago, we've been working on this for a while. Yeah.

You know, bringing to market the, the antibiotics, knowing that that was just really the first step. And a very important step, a vital step. But to your point, everyone's out there dealing with different personal conditions. And so finding a way to do our same service with the Jace case, which is our antibiotics,

being able to do the same thing for chronic conditions. So we're super excited. We're here to let everyone know that they can now go to Jacemedical.com. They can get access to up to a year's supply of their, whatever chronic medication they take. take blood pressure, thyroid, seizure disorders. There's quite a list. How expensive is it to buy a year's worth? I know my daughter's medication for her anticeasure. It's like 700 bucks a month. It's something outrageous. Yeah. So that's a really good question. It's so dependent on the actual medication you're taking. Some of them are pennies. Some are not. And so really it runs the gamut.

what we've tried to do is basically make it as accessible as possible. But it's not just the medications you've got to pay for. You've got to pay for the physician visit to have that encounter to get the prescriptions and then go to the pharmacy, get your prescriptions and have them sent out. So packaging that all together. It turns out, though, that it's probably a lot more accessible than people realize, just because we're so used to dealing with insurance companies and co-pays. And we were just disconnected from the true cost of the care.

that we receive. And so this, we kind of have taken all that out and made it a much more direct connection between ourselves, the patient, and the physicians. So you put together a list here, and I don't recognize any of these drugs. I bet I'm on one of them. Fuloxetine, isn't that anti-depression medicine or not? Yeah, that is one. And a 12-month supply is 60 bucks.

That's great. Right. Yep. There's someone there that's, you know, $40, $50, $60. You mentioned some seizure medications. Those might get up there a little more too. Yeah, I'm sure. And right now, this is limited to pills, tablets, for the most part. So injectables aren't yet on the list. Insulin, which is a big request that we get. And how do you solve that problem for insulin? How do you solve it? How could you even store it for a year, though? So if it's stored properly, you can, in some cases, get up to a year of viability out of your insulin. As soon as you take it out of the fridge, the clock starts ticking and you get your 30 days or whatever it is. So there is a way to do it. And that's something that's another one that maybe we can come back and talk about, but that's another one that's in the works. Right. And how are you, I mean, because the government is so freaked out about.

Every kind of pill now. And they're cracking down on everything. And, you know, they're creating all kinds of problems and shortages and everything else. But do you have to have your doctor call in to you guys or what do you do? Right. So the biggest thing bringing up kind of regulations and, you know, our goal, we want to empower people. And we want to do that through access, access to physicians, access to the medications at a reasonable rate. And part of this, though, is not everything's on the table.

It's not everything's an appropriate or safe option. So, of course, controlled substances, just an immediate off the list. There's no way I can get you a year supply of your ADD medication or your pain meds. And so there's certain medications that are just disqualified right off the bat. So that's, and that, it's appropriate. It's the best way to do it. Yeah. We're talking about kind of these.

That would cause you all kinds of trouble. Yeah. And it would. And yeah. And I think, again, trying to balance access and empowerment with appropriateness is also really important for us. And so, you know, when it comes to the controlled substances, that's just something that we're not able to help with right now. Again, though, coming up with some other, got some things in the works there.

So really, we're talking about the legacy drugs. These are, these are your, you've been on your blood pressure meds for 10 years. Yeah. You see your doctor regularly. It's under, things are under control. you haven't changed your dose. You're a safe patient. You're someone that I as a physician would feel comfortable, knowing that you've got regular follow-up.

I'm going to give you a year's prescription for this medication, and why not? And that can be applied to a lot of different medications and conditions. And they're all relatively, I'm going to say, low risk when you compare them to things like opiates and things. So that's where, kind of regulatory-wise, you know, it goes through a board-certified physician licensed in your state, goes to a pharmacy that also is licensed to do,

business in your state as well. And the Jace case has, what, five flights of antibiotics? Right. So you've got five antibiotics in there, covers really quite a range of different potential bacterial infections. They were specially curated and selected because of the things they cover. You know, we want to cover things that are common. That might be common in a scenario where you don't have access to medical care. Things like UTIs, you know, urinary tract infections or or sinusitis or pneumonia. We also want to cover things that are really deadly, like a bioterror attack. You know, if there was an incident of bioterre in your city, some aerosolized anthrax,

which is one of the agents that's been identified by the government. Plague. Plague is another one. They're used, I mean, they're. Yeah. And don't worry anybody. Just, you know, in China, the same lab, they're just doing some experiments with the lab. I mean, with the black plague and should work out fine.

Well, so there is, there is a treatment for that. and prophylactic treatment that everyone would need to be on. For example, one of the drugs in the kid is doxycycline. So the idea is that you'd get the whole population taking prophylactic doxycycline in the event of one of these attacks to prevent getting, to prevent the getting sick, right? And so how that gets from the national stockpile into your hands as a citizen in whatever city you're in? I'm not sure how well that's going to go. We kind of saw how the vaccine rollout went and things like that.

Probably, probably. And it needs to happen within. within 24 hours. So probably not going to happen. Yeah. So that's one of the ones we include. And we include it in an amount that would be appropriate for you to take, which is two months. You've got to take that medication for two straight months. Then that's in the J-Scape. And that's in the J-s case? Wow. I didn't know it's two months. Yeah, it's a long, it's a long prophylactic. And can you get it for each member of your family? So, yeah, and this is another one where we, you know, we need to operate within

these appropriate bounds. And so right now, this is for one. It's for one person. because it's got to be prescribed to that person through the physician. And then age-wise, we deal with, basically, it's adults, but if you've got a minor, if you've got a child, that's 14-year-older in your family, they're basically going to be taking adult doses anyway, so we'll do it for 14 and older as well. So it does leave a big portion when you're talking about pediatric patients

and those that are younger, and so that's another one. I have to tell you, this is, you guys are you guys preppers? Well, I'm going to say yes. I guess preppers is like everyone, there's such a range of who's a prepper. I know, I know. Let me just say this. You're worried about the supply chains. You're worried about things.

I could sit here for the next three hours and talk about the dangers, the knives, the razor's knife edge that we are on. That is at its core why I did this is because of that, because of living through pre-COVID, being in a hospital and a community hospital and dealing with shortages at that time, which was for me just like, what is going on? How can this be? We stopped being the America I know during COVID for multiple reasons. But one, I remember people saying, well, we're out of that. We won't have it for maybe six months. And I'm like, what the, what do you mean six months?

And that might work for the computer chip in your car. You can get a car. You just won't have all the fancy thing. Or maybe you can wait a year for your stove to, you know, a new stove to install. But that doesn't work for medications. And if we go to war, China even just does a trade war with us, don't they make like 18 different ingredients that we don't have access to? Like most of our drugs. At least.

Yeah. All roads lead back to China when we're talking about pharmaceutical supply. Even when you look at factories in India, for example, which is another big supplier for the world, not just for the United States. We're in line with everybody else for the world. Turns out, and this happened over COVID, actually. India's government came out and said for the first time, because these are numbers that are really hard to find. The FDA can't find them.

And the government's trying to figure out, how can we get more transparency in the supply chain? India came out and said that around 70% of their active pharmaceutical ingredients for their production process come from China. Oh, my gosh. So again, all roads seem to lead back to China. certainly when we talk about generic medications, which is 95% of what we take in the United States on a daily basis are generic medications.

Virtually 100% of those are produced out of the U.S. and mainly have some tie, whether it's an ingredient or outright manufacturing in China. Well, that's good to talk to you. I'm interested to see how this is all going to work out. I want you to go to the then this is not a commercial I was so excited when they talked to me about the Jace case one of the first things I said was what about all the people that are going to die in 30 days if the supply chain breaks down and they said we're working on it and I said when you guys have it you come on the show because this is the one piece of a prepper's job that has not been able to be solved yeah absolutely you've got your food you've got your water but without your health yeah just just America without its psychiatric uh meds the the number of depression we have that are killing themselves now imagine in hard times and no medication in 30 days you start to have it's terrifying oh well and some of them are life-threatening the the specifically you're talking about some of the psychiatric medications those are ones you know if you stop taking your statin for your cholesterol, you're probably going to be okay for,

but you can get back on. You've got some time. Right. There's those other medications specifically in that kind of psych realm and some others that you can't just stop them cold turkey. There's, there's going to be consequences. And you're right. We just haven't had a viable option to protect yourself or your family. Protect your family now. Go to jacemedical dot com find out all about it jace jase jase e medical dot com congratulations thank you for solving this well thank you it's i feel like we've got a lot more work to do and we're just getting started but that's great uh this is great you've been great at helping us get the word out you bet one one step at a time make sure every step is exactly right you make one false step and and then we lose this opportunity

yeah so thank you jacemmedical dot com that's jacemedical dot com all right let's Let me talk to you a little bit about Mother's Day. Why not get the mom in your life, the gift of preserving memories in a way that will last forever. I have said this to my kids. I don't know how many years. Dad, you're impossible to shop for. You don't have to shop. All I want is all of our pictures just organized.

That's it. We got them all. Just take them and organize them so there's not 80,000 pictures that we never look through. I think your mom probably would like that too. Preserved forever. You are the historian of your family. And the American story is being lost right now. Your pictures prove that the things we have and the things we had existed.

Please preserve them. Call Legacy Box now. Just go to their website. Legacybox.com slash Beck. They have their best Mother's Day sale ever. Today, you can take advantage of 60% off Legacy Box. All you have to do is you get the box. Then Mom will fill it all in and do everything.

You should do it as a family. Put all the pictures of the films of the videotapes in the box. Send it in whenever you're ready. It's LegacyBox.com slash Beck. 10 seconds. Station ID. Hey, you know what makes me feel really good, Stu? Everything. Yeah.

The news. Yeah. What's really, really exciting is, you know, we've been worried about the AI thing lately. Yeah. Okay. Mm-hmm. Notice that. Yeah.

The president has assigned Kamala Harris to oversee our AI policy. After her success with Ukraine and Afghanistan and the border. I mean, put her right on the AI. She's the one to do it. Can you imagine the, what a waste of time it must. feel like for these CEOs, executives that are control of all these industries to have to meet with her? What on earth? I don't know if I could.

She can't get through a sentence. I think I would say I had leprosy that day. Yeah. And somebody else, who do we hate in this company? Send them. Yeah, that's that's the, you have somebody employed just to take those meetings. Yeah. Who is completely worthless in this company overpaid?

Everybody questions. Why do they even work here? Today's the day we answer that. You go meet with a lot. vice president. And of course, that's the same choice being made at the White House. Who's the person who's worthless and doesn't really do anything? Send them. Oh, it's Kamala Harris. Every time. Every time. Can you imagine? Oh, I just love, I love my phone. I love my phone. And the idea of an A and an I. Because it's like the iPhone, but you've added an A.

And I love that. Because A's make me think of the ABCs, which makes me think of school by And I love school buses. Who here? Raise your hand if you love school buses. Oh my gosh. And then you're this person who's like in the middle of an arms race to develop AI between not only the companies here in the United States, but all these countries around the world. And you have to take out a day to go talk to the vice president to explain to her, I'm sure, the most rudimentary aspects.

of this and everything else. What a waste of time. Can you imagine? Einstein was the one they sent to talk to FDR about the atomic bomb. He spoke to the president. Literally Einstein. Right. Literally Einstein.

So we're taking the closest we got to Einstein and we're sending them in to talk to the vice president, not the president, because the president might be worse. He might actually at some point say, you know, I can't work the. the remote for the TV upstairs, do any of you kids? Do you know how to do that? I mean, that's if he's awake. Yeah. So you got Kamala or Joe Biden.

No one can believe this is legitimate. Like, no one can believe this is a, like, a legitimate way to run a country. Like, you look at these two. They're both obviously terrible, right? Everyone understands this. They're both. terribly terrible at everything they do. If you don't think they are, would you call in right now?

If you don't think they are. Legitimately. Legitimately don't think they are. I want to talk to you because I don't understand it. If you legitimate, now, don't get into, well, they're not Trump. Don't know. Tell me what I'm missing when Stu says or I say, they are the worst. I wouldn't put them in charge of an ice cream truck.

I really wouldn't. I would not put them in charge, hey, you drive through the neighborhood. Well, one, he'd be sniffing hair. But not even for that reason. I just don't think they're competent enough to run a good humor truck. Yeah. For a summer.

This is like an experiment of like, what if William Hung won American Idol? Like, that's, like, hey, what if you just beat out? very underwood and that's how that thing ended. Let's give that a whirl as a nation. No, I'm anxious to see how it works out for us. The Glenn Beck Program. All right, if you're retired or you're planning ahead,

you know, it's natural you should be a little bit worried about the state of the economy. The value of your dollar, the value of stocks. If this continues, we are in a real crisis. I mean, maybe they'll come up with something, you know, unethical, illegal, unconstitutional to do this time to save us all. But eventually you lose the dollar. Eventually it loses value. Your stocks are going to tank. I would just suggest that maybe you have, you spread your wealth out as much as possible, as thin and as wide as possible.

I wrote a book called Agenda 21. And it was a fictional look at what life would look like for a young woman if the real Agenda 21 program was allowed to happen. In real life, the United Nations stopped promoting Agenda 21 in name after I exposed it. It became Agenda 2030. And then the 2015 Paris Accords was the global collaboration to finally see it through. Now, keep in mind, this is a global government initiative that was telegraphed long before I wrote Agenda 21. But I don't think we anticipated the collaboration it would get from the,

the corporate elites. They are now moving in parallel, but they now call Agenda 21, Agenda 21, 2030, the Great Reset. The hellscape that I wrote about in 2012, the massive authoritarian surveillance state, the lack of property ownership, the restrictions on food production, the complete transformation of society is here. It is here. If I could go back and write some, you know, another chapter to Agenda 21, I would describe how the whole collapse happened because now we see it. I'd show how corporations partnered with the government to forcefully change societal behavior.

I would show how they seized control of energy and agriculture and transportation. I'd describe how big tech partnered with intelligence agencies and federal law enforcement to spy on people, censor content, and even elect politicians that would further the transformation. None of what I described just now is fiction anymore. The public-private partnership between big finance corporations, university, intelligence agencies, federal law enforcement, they're pushing further and further towards what is in the book, Agenda 21. And that was fiction. and it's happening right now.

I'm going to show you tonight. I'll show you where we are on this dystopian timeline, just like the title of my next book that comes out in July on The Great Reset. I will show you our dark future if we don't get off this path. Don't miss tonight, Wednesday night at 9 p.m. Blaze TV at 930 on my YouTube channel, YouTube.com slash Glenn Beck. our dark future decoded. What is coming next in the dystopian nightmare America?

And part of my dark future is having you on the show tonight. Oh, okay. So at 8 p.m. Eastern, have a little conversation with Glenn, followed up by Glenn TV on blazedtv.com slash Glenn. Miss Ducker Carlson. Zelensky has just come out. We found out about two hours ago there was a overnight attack on the Kremlin. Putin's people said that it was two Ukrainian drones.

Right. And we have no idea if that's accurate or not at this point. And they said that they were sent to kill Putin and assassinate him. Zelensky comes out and said, they had nothing to do it. I don't know. So we don't know. The border is on absolute fire. We're going to be covering a lot of this next week because we've got people lined up.

They're expecting now 10,000 new people every day on our southern border just coming through. If you see the video of El Paso today, that's an American city. It looks like Haiti. And people are sleeping four, five deep on the sidewalk. It is awful. It is awful. I've never seen anything like that. It's incredible that that's an American city.

It's an American city. if we shipped just the numbers of people that they sent to El Paso, if we would send them to New York or Chicago, they would say we are crippling the city. They're already doing it with 150 people. They've already said it, yeah. These are thousands of people in the little town of El Paso. And that's a big town on the border compared to some of these other places

that are being completely overrun. They're wiping these towns out. They are killing the states on the southern border. And they don't care. El Paso's 678,000 people, which is a moderate-sized city. Think of these little border towns that are getting absolutely overrun

by these problems year after year, after year, day after day after day. And it's so much worse with Title 42 about to go away. The fact that they sent down 1,500 troops to the border, to try to do, you know, to try to control this in some way. White House is just process. They're going to process people. Now, of course, when Trump did a very similar thing,

they said it was a moral abomination. Yeah. That he would send troops to the border. Now, apparently, it's just processing. Yeah, so it's no big deal. Yeah. Now, this, I want you to, this is going to shock you. I want you to pull over the side of the road or sit down.

If you're sipping hot coffee, don't. Get away from anything hot, anything, because you might just pass out on this news. A new, and I'm quoting, groundbreaking study says that trans women face prostate cancer risk. So, a new study has been done. Oh, no. Yeah. And there's a misperception. I'm quoting the study.

a misperception that because these are women, they identify as women, they look like women, that you don't necessarily think you should check for prostate cancer. Yeah. Yeah, you know, that's a good point. And this, of course, has been happening for a while. We've seen people die over this because people come in. I have this real pain in my stomach. Okay, sir, what do you think it is?

I don't know. I can't think of what it could be. Oh, he's pregnant. And doctors are like, I don't know. Honestly, I don't know if the doctors are actually fooled by this. Like, they're like, I don't know who this. Or they don't want to be terrified to say, could you be pregnant? So I, that's just remarkable. We talked to a guy, I'm sorry, a woman earlier today. Yeah, I, Ryan. I think he's brave. A brave choice. Brave choice. He's from Indiana.

He's on his county council. He's a Republican. He's married as six children. But he wants to live his true, you know, his true life and live his truth. Yeah. And there's some people saying, you know, is this man, a man who has falsely identified as a woman? Palsely. Right.

That's what some people are saying. Okay. Well, they're haters. And I'm here to tell you that's the case in all of these situations. it's not just this one, all of them. 100% of these situations are men just saying they're women. They don't actually magically turn into women. That is the case in 0% of these.

Shut his microphone off. This is dangerous. Okay. Let's try to bring some stats. All right. I have. Yeah. Yeah.

Stats lie. Now let me ask you. I finally found something. Remember the monocle of? Lewinsky lesson that I learned back in the 90s. We just talked about it, what, a couple of days ago? What's the Monica Lewinsky lesson that I learned? So back in the Monokulinski Day, there was a big debate and people on the right were saying he did it.

And people on the left were saying, no, he didn't. And it was, yes, he did. No, he didn't. Yes, he did. No, he didn't. Yes, he did. No, he didn't. And what we should have been saying is, if he did, does it matter?

Correct. Let's not argue about whether he did it. Maybe they'll come out that he did it. Maybe they'll come out that he didn't do it. Right. If, let's lock you in now, if he did it, does it matter? Correct. Notice no one in the press is asking that about money from Hunter Biden and China to Joe Biden. Right.

No, he didn't do it. He didn't do it. His laptop. It's not his laptop. Well, if it is his laptop, is it a problem? Does it matter? Why would you, why would you say this is so bad that the Russians would create it if it didn't matter? Okay. Here's the latest. And I want you on record right now. I want you to say it out loud, assuming that you're okay after the news that trans women can have prostate cancer. That one took me by, I mean, shock isn't even the beginning of the word.

here's the latest and I want you to decide and say it out loud is this okay or not what you're going to be tempted to get into the argument

that's not going to happen yes it is no it is no it's not you live in America in well what used to be called America in 2023 don't rule anything out don't rule a damn thing out nothing

If it can happen, oh, it probably will. Here's the latest trend for trans people. People identifying as disabled. People who are disabled, now the executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, said, in my opinion, both transgender and trans-abled persons, suffer from a delusional disorder. I hope they strip him of his license right away.

Body integrity identity disorder. Bid is what is now being labeled for trans-Abalism to better align it with transgender. The report goes on to print that the change in label would be from a diagnosable psychiatric condition to an advocacy term, such as moving from bid to trans able allows people to use them to harness the stunning cultural power of gender ideology. So will doctors, this is what they're predicting now, this has been going up in Canada for a while,

will doctors remove perfectly healthy limbs because you believe, you were born with one too many arms, that you are your legless, you lost it, and you should only have one, you were born to be handicapped. Will they perform the surgery? That's the first question. Second, is it okay?

Answer both those questions right, here it is. I want you to say it out loud. One, good chance they do the, the surgery someplace in the future here soon? Okay. Next one. Is it okay? All right.

I think we can be friends. I think we can be friends. If you answered, if you answered, no, it will never happen. You're an imbecile. You haven't been paying attention. Pay attention, class. If you think that doctors won't do it, you're also, an imbecile. Any doctor who says, like that doctor just said, this is a mental disorder. They'll be run out of their job if this doesn't stop. That's the next space we go. They'll never,

ever try to normalize pedophilia. That's crazy. Really? Because they're doing it. That's a question you have to ask all of your friends. Hey, if I identify as a handicapped person, do I have a mental disorder or should I go to the doctor and the doctor should have to remove my arm or my leg because I was born that way it just happens to be that

it somehow or another grew out you're just trying to get yourself invited to parties aren't you? Yes. Yeah because I mean no one's more fun at a party than Glenn Beck. I'm telling you be on the record. Ask all your friends. Be on the record right now. Be on the record. It's the only way you can stop this.

madness. I guess you're right. Because I would have said the same thing about gender a few years ago. Of course. Of course. Of course they are. But I think the same thing has to do with age. We talked about it yesterday with Dylan Mulvaney. Dylan Mulvaney comes out as a teenage girl, a teenage girl. How are you going to accept that? Are you going to accept that Dylan Mulvaney is 14 years old? And here's how you need to do it. You need to ask your friends, hey, do you believe that's right or wrong. If they say wrong, say why. And get them on, I'd tape it. Get them on record explaining

to their future self why it's wrong. Do you keep friends after this exchange? No, but you have them on tape. Okay. And you get them to explain. Get them to think about it. Why is it wrong?

If they say, no, I don't think there's a problem with that. They're lost. Move on. Just move on. You'll never convince anybody. If they are already at trans-Abelism, there is no hope for your friend. No matter how smart your dog is, I promise you that he isn't smart enough to make a healthy salad. And that's what our dogs need.
