Hello, America.
You know, we always start with something
that is like, oh, jeez, I didn't want to know that. Can we start today with some real good news
and some deeper questions on the news? We'll do that in 60 seconds. Well, I want to talk to you a little
bit about mowing your lawn. If you mow your lawn and you spend a couple of hours a week,
don't do it anymore. Just don't do it anymore. If you're looking for a new lawnmower,
make sure you look at hustler turf. It'll cut the time of your lawn mowing in half. It's a
Zero-turn lawnmower built by the people who created the first zero-turn lawnmower.
They perfected it back in the 1960s, and they've been doing, you know, baseball fields and football fields and the sides of the highway.
These are these huge machines that you see out there that run forever and ever and ever, and they're built to last because they should run about eight hours every day.
Well, they've decided to make a smaller, you know, more economical version for the home,
and they want you to look at it.
And it is a great, great lawnmower.
Again, cut the time in half.
Now, you can go out to your Home Depot and buy any lawnmower.
You can even buy a zero-turn lawnmower.
But before you do, please find a hustler turf dealer near you and test drive one.
There is nothing like a zero-turn lawnmower from Hustler turf.
Go to hustlerturf.com.
That's hustlerturf.com.
Welcome to Stu,
Stu Bergier, our executive producer and cohort on the program every day.
60 minutes just in an interview, Stu,
with Attorney General Keith Ellison.
And they discussed the guilty verdict on Chauvin.
And he was asked,
did did you have any reason to believe?
Did the prosecution have any evidence that race was a factor?
No.
No.
Not any.
This is from a guy who would love to say, yes, crazy.
It was crazy.
It was crazy.
When you first heard the word guilty, you thought what?
Ellison said gratitude, humility, followed by a certain sense of, I'll say, satisfaction.
It's what we were aiming for the whole time spent 16 years as a criminal defense lawyer,
so I'll admit I felt a little bad for the defendant.
I think he deserved to be convicted, but he is a human being.
Hmm?
Wait, what?
He's not, they had no evidence that this was a race killing.
So what are we doing?
Why are we tearing our country apart?
This is one guy making a bad mistake and, you know, committing a felony on another guy.
That's what this is.
This is two Americans.
One died.
One is in jail.
That's all this is.
Two Americans.
It's not white and black.
Why are we, why is this such a big case if they had zero evidence that it was race-based?
Yeah.
Of course, they had none.
They never had any.
No.
You know, again, demeans the life of the people who get lost in these situations because instead of recognizing each individual as having value, we only see people as members of larger groups.
And that is a problem.
It's a collectivist problem.
It is the same problem we've been facing for a very long time in this country.
And, you know, like I was listening to a report this morning.
And I guess Merrick Garland is going to be investigating the Louisville police for the.
their practices. And that's where Brianna Taylor, the Brianna Taylor case went. And they interviewed
someone. They're like, and she's like crying and she's sobbing. And she's saying, I just think of
Brianna Taylor because, you know, I'm 26 years old and she, and she was 26 when she died.
And it's like, I'm sorry. Is this about you? I don't understand. I thought this was about
Brianna Taylor because should we be saying her name or your name? Which name should we be saying?
I don't. So let me let me finish what what Ellison said.
it's exactly the same point. It's exactly the same point. In our society, there's a social
norm that killing certain kinds of people is more tolerable than other kinds of people. In order
for us to stop and pay serious attention to this case and be outraged by it, it's not necessary
that Derek Chauvin had a specific racial intent to harm George Floyd. Well, first of all,
I don't buy into that premise. I don't think it's any more acceptable to kill a black person than
it is a white person. Of course not. I mean, I, you know, that's why I have a problem with abortion. I
don't think there's any difference between killing a born baby and a baby just about to be born.
There's no difference. There's no difference. And I don't care what the color is. Why would why if we were
racist, why would conservatives be so upset about abortion clinics? The vast majority are black babies.
So why would we care? Because we don't see race. We see life. And that is that is an important
difference. He said,
the fact is that we know that through
housing patterns, through employment, through
wealth, through a whole range of other things, so
often people of color, black people end up with
harsh treatment from law enforcement.
And other folks doing exact same thing, don't.
If an officer doesn't throw a white neurologist
to the ground and he doesn't
sit on top of his neck, is he
doing it because this is a fellow white brother?
No, he's doing it because he thinks this is
an important person. And if I treat
them badly, somebody's going to ask me about this.
This person probably has law.
No, that is not why.
Please don't, please don't want to assault everyone and just do it to people they think don't have lawyers.
That is an incomprehensibly stupid read of the situation.
But here again, here is the point that you were making.
Is this about something else?
Because this is not about, this stopped being about Derek Chauvin and his racism.
The minute they said, there was no motivation.
race. Right. None. It's not about that. No. You know, and it's, it's, it's so, it's just this odd thing of, of, of trying to make everyone a member of a group instead of an individual. I mean, if, if a, if a, if a, if a, if a, if a, if a man murders a family, right, somewhere, a white family in the suburbs. Do you ever watch that story? Oh, my God. I also have a mailman. That could have been me. I never think like that. I don't look and say, oh my gosh, another white person.
and had something happened to them.
Therefore,
I also could have been the victim of that crime.
That is a weird way to think about that.
I do think that way on teenagers or young kids getting, you know,
stopped or killed by the police.
I do think about it.
But not because they're white or black.
Just because I want to make sure my kids understand,
don't do that.
Don't do that.
Right.
But again,
when the police are telling you to do something,
you do that, not what that person just did, because that will happen to you.
Yeah, there was a thing that happened with an NBA player, and they were asked, like,
how does it feel?
You're this big NBA superstar.
And you could be shot at any time because you're black.
And it's like, well, you know, he could be shot any time if he runs from the police or, like,
tries to stab a woman.
Like, yeah, he has just as good a chance of being shot as any other person if he starts.
doing those things.
You know, I can guarantee you.
In his gated community,
probably not going to get shot.
And I understand what Allison is saying in that, like,
there are certain areas of,
of the country that crime is much less,
lesser of a problem.
So that officers that work in those communities
probably do feel less threatened going into them.
It doesn't,
it has nothing to do with color.
It has to do with crime rates, right?
If you, if you're seeing, you know,
if gunshots are buzzing by your police car every,
every hour,
you're going to be a lot more on edge in those communities.
And that has nothing to do with the color of people's skin in those communities.
It has to do with the rates of crime and how many people get shot and killed
and how many times they have to go out to see a violent crime in action.
That's sensible.
I mean, it's sensible.
They're going to be more on edge there.
I live in a good neighborhood and I believe that, and I wish we could do a test on this,
but you can't.
I believe if we did a reenactment of, you know, my kid out.
about to stab somebody else while somebody else is kicking a girl in the head right on my front lawn,
I would bet you if the police came at the same time, I bet you they would shoot my son.
And they should.
If he was the one that had the knife and said, I'm going to kill you.
And they should.
But I absolutely believe they would have done that to my son.
And you'd still be devastated over it, but that wouldn't mean anything.
Devastated, but they'd be justified.
I would look at that and go, you're a stupid son of a, to him.
not to the cops
I mean it's
and that's not to say none of these things ever occur
of course they do
but it's about the larger narrative
of trying to
I mean you know
it would be you look at some of the
of the way you know
the different things the media says
and they paint a picture
that if you are African American
you are going to get shot by police
it's basically going to happen
you know I mean I wouldn't
that's why people guess thousands
and tens of thousands shot every year
by police because
that's what it feels like.
The priority given by the media
is so high
and it's so low for
white people who get shot by police
that people don't even know that white people get shot
by police. They don't know that more
white people get shot by police than black
people in this country.
Let me change
subjects. I've got a couple of good news
things to get to on. Yes, I am
buttering you up for something
bad, but
let me just give you a couple of good news things.
New poll out. This is from the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics. And it was,
how do people under 24 look at institutions? What do you trust? What do you not trust?
16 options were listed, a low of just 19 percent of respondents say they trusted Facebook all or most of the time.
19%.
79% of those
polled said they trusted the social media
company some of the time
or never.
79% that's good news.
Those who took the survey said
they felt the same way about Twitter with just
21% saying they trust it to do
the right thing most of the time.
Only Wall Street
and the media
scored in a comparable range.
That's phenomenal.
A total of 20% of those polls say they trusted Wall Street to do the right thing all or most of the time.
Well, 22 said the same thing about the media.
Only 19% of the people surveyed said they trusted Facebook all or most of the time.
Now, more than half of those polled or 58% of them said they trusted their college or university administration to do the right thing all or most of the time.
So that's bad news.
But listen to this.
49% answered the same about the U.S. military,
47% about the Supreme Court,
45% about the United Nations,
45% about the police.
So you've got 19 and 21% for Facebook and Twitter.
You have 45% of the youth now trusting the police.
42% local government,
39% about Google.
I don't know how those people get away.
with it.
38% about the president, 32% with the federal government.
So the federal government is trusted less than your local police.
45% of young Americans say they trusted the police to do the right thing.
So that's good news.
And one other thing.
I am completely convinced and there's a great segment with the podcast last week where I,
I am
I'm talking to a guy who is a farmer
and he's actually
historian but I just want to paint him as a farmer for a second
and right before we went on
one of the producers said what's the noise in the background
and he said I'm sorry I'm disking today
and I don't know if anybody in the control room
on either end knew what disking was but I did
and I said to him towards the end of the interview
I said, I like hearing from a guy who even knows what disking is, but is actually doing it or having somebody do it right there on their property.
And he said, well, yeah, I'm a farmer.
And disking, do you know what it is, Stu?
Do you know what disking is?
Yeah, it's a soil preparation practice that usually follows the plowing, whether it was a deeper, shallow soil tillage.
That's how I usually describe it to my friends.
That's how you describe it?
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
You're looking it up.
So disking is just those round blades that kind of go in and it just turns the soil up, okay?
And you do it just to prepare the soil for planting and everything else.
And we started talking about how America lost something when we detached from the farmer.
When you are living in the center of the country and you have anything at all to do with farming,
your kids don't have to have sex education.
They see it.
And when they're young, they're like, why is that cow on top of another cow?
You see the circle of life.
You know how to deal with life, with birth, with death.
All these things that are just deeply rooted.
And you also learn basic kindness and responsibility, not only for yourself, but for your neighbor.
And most importantly, you learn gratitude.
because life is not fair.
And, you know, we don't have a problem with this when you're a farmer.
Farmers aren't, they're not like, I want reparations because there was too much rain or not enough rain.
Or I did absolutely everything right and then there was really a bad windstorm or hail on the last day.
No, there's no reparations.
You did everything you could.
and it still failed.
So you have gratitude when it doesn't fail.
And you're not looking to blame someone when it does.
That's what we've lost.
Well, let me give you another piece of good news here.
I think this is, I mean, if it lasts, if it last, if it last,
millennials are leading a rural revitalization according to tractor supply.
The tractor supply CEO has said,
their stock is way up.
They said they're seeing people come in now.
The core customer, they are gaining core customers now.
The new customer is the millennial customer.
We're seeing a revitalization of rural led by millennials.
They are coming into the housing market.
And for the first time in, I don't even know how long,
25 to 40-year-olds are coming in and they are buying chickens.
they're buying tractors,
they're gardening,
and they're into self-reliance.
This is a really good thing.
When 25-year-olds,
now, again,
I think they think, you know,
it's a farm.
We just plant it and it grows.
Let's check in a year from now,
or maybe two years from now.
It is the hardest work you've ever done in your life,
but it is really worth it.
But that's good news.
If we can get people to get rooted back into the soil,
people's common sense just kinds just happens to reappear for some reason or another.
That's why all of the counties that are farming counties in California generally are conservative counties
because you just think differently when you've actually had to grow your own food or grow anything,
including animals.
You just start to have a little more common sense.
All righty.
Let me tell you about Car Shield.
when your car breaks down and it's not a, you know, it's not an if, it's a when.
Especially, you know, after your warranty expires, your car's going to break down.
Come on.
Come on, it's going to.
You know it and I know it.
It's almost a guarantee.
Oh, the warranties expired.
The chip's like, oh, that means it's our time we can quit now.
That's what they told as soon as the warranty goes out, we can stop working.
And then you're sitting there with a car you can't fix because you can't, you know,
You can't go to PEP boys and even diagnose what's wrong with your car, let alone fix it.
And some of those chips are thousands of dollars apiece.
So you need to take this worry off of your plate and get CarShield.
Car shield cars go further because they're fixed.
And the people don't have to worry about those really expensive repairs to their car or their truck.
If you don't want to worry about things, if you want to make sure you have a rental car of yours breaks down,
24-7 roadside assistance and everything's going to be fixed and you don't have to worry about it.

So maybe it's that I think so much like a fiction writer to understand the world that this one freaks me.
out. Still, I read a
story today from the post.
Acosio Cortez said
she likely won't be able to attend
President Biden's first address
to Congress because COVID safety
restrictions are in place in the
House chamber and she's
not going to be able to go.
Yeah.
During a virtual town hall meeting, she said this.
Apparently,
senior members get first dibs into
the chamber for Wednesday night's speech.
that's tomorrow.
She said, but they're very strict COVID provision
so the house that the house had to put in place,
so she's not going to be able to enter the chamber
for the joint address.
It's just senior members.
Only about 200 senior leadership members
will be in attendance.
So,
dare I say,
dare I even, I mean,
do I need to even say,
this is,
please pray for everybody's security.
Please.
pray for everybody's security.
This is just, I don't know.
I don't like it.
You don't like that they're not letting everybody in?
Yeah.
Well, I mean, you know, especially because they've all been,
probably all been vaccinated.
I don't know AOC's stance on vaccines,
but they probably all been vaccinated.
I don't know why they wouldn't just open it up at this point.
Because they're sending a message.
Yeah, or just like he's wearing a mask on a Zoom call, right?
Yes. I guess that's what the White House said yesterday.
He's sending a message to the world. What? That we're dummies?
But it seems like this is being used to say like, oh, AOC doesn't really want to go.
And she's not happy with it.
She should be thrilled with this administration.
She's basically running the country right now.
I think she is thrilled with this administration.
She said he's better than they ever expected.
That's AOC. That's not a good thing.
No.
If you've been involved with a timeshare and
anyway, you probably know they're not all created equally. Some are good. Some are bad. Most of them
actually are bad. Getting out of them seems like, you know, an attractive idea. Once the
newness wears off and you're like, why am I still, I don't ever use this and why do we still
have it again? Because even with COVID, we haven't even been allowed to use it. What does it mean?
Well, to get out of it requires a real sophisticated legal team. There is a,
legal way to get out of timeshare and get this monkey off of your back. But you have to have a
legal team that is devoted specifically to timeshare law. Well, that is exactly what the
timeshare termination team is. They are a bunch of attorneys that this is all they do.
Timeshare termination team. They're here to take care of the situation you're stuck in.

Stu and I will be hosting it. You don't want to miss it tomorrow. 9 p.m. Blaze TV.
And I'm also very excited because there's another big thing happening in California.
Gavin Newsom looks like they've counted.
all of the recall signatures and the recall is on,
which means some glass ceilings can be shattered
because Caitlin Jenner is going to be running for governor.
And if she were to win, that would make her, of course,
to the first female governor of California.
Yeah.
Exactly right.
Exactly right.
She'd also be the first trans governor.
Oh, would she?
But, yeah, I care about those things.
Not at all.
I mean, really, not at all.
Really?
When it comes to governor, yeah, I don't really care.
Don't care.
I know, there's people out there, David Duke, Richard Spencer, Ibram Kendi, Robin DiAngelo.
Yeah.
People like that care, I know.
They care a lot.
About all the immutable characteristics of the governors in place.
But other than that very tight-knit group of identitarians, I don't think people care.
put us into the category of, you know, people that say, would she be a good governor?
You know, and that I don't really even care about because, you know, we live in Texas.
So, I mean, we've written California off a long, long time ago.
This would be interesting.
Would she be a good governor?
I mean, I have absolutely no idea what her policies would be or anything else.
I know she'd be better than Gavin Newsom.
Yes, which is almost impossible.
We actually made up these mugs anyone else.
for governor. And it looks like a political slogan. It just says anyone else. Because there's a lot of
people with crappy governors. There's something in California that's going to go on where we're really
going to test that thesis. Like, yeah, I mean, I don't know if California, do you really mean
anyone else? Anyone else? It's very true. It's got to be conflicting for the left. I mean,
can they oppose a trans governor? Couldn't they oppose a female governor? We couldn't. We couldn't.
Can they oppose a Kardashian government?
Is that possible?
Are you allowed to oppose a Kardashian?
I don't.
I don't know.
Have you seen what people have been saying online about this?
Trans activists.
Trans activists see no value in Caitlin Jenner.
Let me give you some tweets from Equality, California.
Quote, make no mistake, we can't wait to elect a trans governor of California.
But Caitlin Jenner spent years telling the LGBTQ plus.
community to trust Donald Trump.
We saw how that worked out.
Yeah, actually pretty well.
Now she wants us to trust her.
Hard pass.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Hold it.
We're supposed to care.
We're supposed to think you care about the policies of the individual?
When did that happen?
Stop recall after Trump banned transgendered troops from serving in the military, attack
transgendered students.
I don't remember that.
Even tried to allow homeless shelters to turn away trans women.
Caitlin Jenner still hired his former inner circle to run her campaign.
Californians and trans Californians in particular understand all too well the risk of electing another reality TV star who cares more about fame and money than civil rights, health care, and the safety of our communities.
We can't let that happen.
Governor Gavin Newsom is a pro-equality champion who has spent his career fighting for LGBTQ plus civil rights and social justice.
He's been there for us time and time again.
it's now our turn to be there for him.
Stop the recall.
This is uniform from not only
activist groups but the media.
Esquire had a headline.
Caitlin Jenner's campaign provides cover
for the GOP's hateful anti-trans
legislation.
Well, you know, there is
Alyssa Milano too. I mean, don't leave her out.
Don't leave her out.
With all due respect, Caitlin,
you're running as a Republican.
Republicans deny your existence and are trying to erase trans youth.
Hell no.
You love that.
Son of anarchy himself, Ron Perlman.
Well done, Caitlin Jenner.
Running for governor wins you the one medal you never got.
Stupidest M.F.
on earth.
What a great.
Wow.
So funny.
Bruce Jenner won a medals.
That's why.
See how he tied that in there?
Yeah.
Running as a Trump Republican in entry.
that world, entering a world that hates you.
Really, we're the hateful ones, apparently here, Glenn.
Yeah, let's skip all the rest of these, because we all know they're just, they're nothing
but hypocrites.
They don't actually care about anything, right?
You think they care about glass ceilings, Stu?
I don't think they care about glass ceilings at all.
They, they don't.
First trans governor, you think they care about that?
No, not at all.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No.
I mean, look, if it's an odd thing because they keep asking us to buy into this narrative where everyone hates these minority groups like trans people.
And their pitches basically Democrats are good people and Republicans are bad people and Republicans are the haters here.
So if Caitlin Jenner did, let's say, run for governor and win, right, as a Republican, wouldn't that go a long way to advance what your goal supposedly is?
Like if you really believe Republicans hate trans people and what you want for society is to have trans people accepted more broadly,
what better way to accomplish that than having a Republican trans candidate?
Yeah. But you just said the key words.
If you really believe, they don't really believe.
I don't think they even really believe that Republicans hate gay people.
Right.
I don't think they actually believe that.
That's just a slogan that's been drilled into their head.
if you actually told them, can you defend that?
I don't think they could even defend that.
No, I mean, look at Richard Grinnell, you know, who was in the Trump administration.
When they say Pete Buttigieg is the first cabinet person who is gay,
they're erasing a gay man.
Yeah, look at the rage that comes from the right.
You're erasing Richard Grinnell.
Who did a great job and we love Richard Grinnell, right?
Like, there's not a, this is a, it's the same thing.
They do the same thing, you know, with race and gender.
And a lot of this is because none of this is actually.
real. This isn't real. It doesn't have anything to do with race or gender or really anything else. It has everything to do with politics. That's it. And like I got to say, Glenn, like with the Caitlin Jenner thing, this is sort of the way this is supposed to work. Right? Like, they should be opposing Caitlin Jenner because at least she's talked about wants lower taxes and lower regulation. They should be opposing her because she doesn't agree with her policies. Right. So if you think those policies are
bad. That's a good reason to oppose the person. It doesn't mean you hate all trans people,
but they have the benefit of the doubt on that, and we don't for some reason.
Whenever we oppose someone, if we oppose Barack Obama, it's because he's black, not because
he wants higher taxes, because he wants more regulation, because he wants us. Because he's a Marxist.
Right. It's like, we can't be that. We oppose Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama
equally, despite the fact they're from all different groups.
there's white people in there,
there's women in there,
there's black people in there,
there's men in there,
and we oppose all of them
because the reason the opposition is there
is because we don't like
what they want to do to do to the country.
It's got nothing to do with the color of their skin.
It's got nothing to do with their gender.
And like in some ways,
the Caitlin Jenner thing is a model
for what should happen.
Democrats should oppose her
because Gavin Newsom is much more
of a socialist than she is.
Right. Right.
And they should celebrate
Wait, wait, wait,
Republicans are not as hateful as I thought.
They would support Caitlin Jenner.
I don't know if she would win,
but they would support her.
Yeah, if she's a good candidate, if she's a right candidate,
why not?
Why not?
Now, if she's a crazy reality star, no.
But, I mean, why wouldn't we?
Why wouldn't we?
If she was the best candidate,
that's the problem here.
We don't get afforded that opportunity at all, ever.
No.
And we should.
We should.
You know, if we think their views suck, we can say so without being called a racist or a homophobe or a transphobe or a phobphob.
Do we ever get afforded that opportunity?
As of right now, the answer to that is no.
No.
And, you know, you've, you've influenced me, Glenn, on this.
I want you to know that.
Have I?
Yes.
Oh, my gosh.
Well, I'm kind of like wax on, wax off.
You're like the karate kid and I'm the, okay, all right.
You're sort of the Miyagi in this situation.
I, okay.
All right.
Tell me about it.
You had a piece of information and knowledge and wisdom on race and the differences between people that I think of often, which is, you know, why would you hate people because of their skin color or their sexual orientation or their gender?
Exactly.
When you can, of course, get to know them and then hate them for legitimate reasons.
Right.
I mean, there's legitimate reasons to hate people.
Those are not.
Just take the time.
I know you're lazy.
You're like, I got a lot to do.
Why can't I just hate them for color?
Because it's so much better when you hate them for a legitimate reason.
Oh, it's so much more visceral and real, you know?
That person's just really annoying.
Outside of them skin color, none of that has anything to do with this.
We just hate them for their character.
Did you know this about them?
And then when you find that out, you're like,
Oh man, I hate them even more. Right. See, you didn't actually hate them before.
No. You got to get to know somebody to really hate them.
Our sponsor, this half hour is Legacy Box. All right, Mother's Day is closing in on us fast.
Let me tell you a little bit about Legacy Box and something that happened recently. We were up at my mother-in-law's house and we just lost my brother-in-law.
to tragedy.
And we were all going through the pictures.
And these pictures were so faded.
And they were almost gone.
Everything from the 70s, almost gone.
They're just turning into like a sepia blank sheet.
And I looked at Tony and I said,
we have got to get these into Legacy Box because they're going to be gone.
All of these things,
are going to be gone.
All these color pictures,
a lot of the black and whites,
they don't last.
They'll be gone in another 20 years.
So what are you going to do?
Well,
we're sending up legacy box to my mother
and it's Mother's Day.
And I think this is a great Mother's Day.
You want to get her something great?
Get her a legacy box.
Something she's not going to see coming.
Something is out of the norm.
She can sit down.
She can look at all the memories.
She puts them in the box.
All the videotapes,
the camcorder tapes, the film reels, the stuff.
I mean, I don't even know what format.
Some of this stuff is.
You just put it in to the box and all of those memories are going to be preserved
and you'll have a great time watching them with your mom and also preserve them for coming generations.
They'll come, all of the stuff comes back to you.

No, it's Tuesday. Tomorrow is Wednesday. And the president is.
giving his speech tomorrow night, which, I mean, I don't know what he's going to say.
What is he going to say, Stu?
Because usually these are about asking people for, you know, big programs, telling the American people, hey, it's a big program.
But why is he telling us about it?
There's a scene in a lot of movies.
And I think he's going to kind of do a similar thing.
You know when like there's someone who's at a bank, like a teller and someone comes in and says,
give me all your money?
I think it's going to be a version of that speech.
A version of that?
Well, I mean, really, it's not the American people that are going to pay for all of this.
I mean, I guess he could do something where he could talk to our children and our grandchildren.
But really, I mean, why not just have a meeting with the Fed?
Hey, I just want to make my case here that you should print even more money.
He's already proposed and has put through in legislation.
There's already $10 trillion that is in play right now.
in his first 100 days, $10 trillion.
Now, remember when we were talking about, oh, gosh, what was it?
Some big thing.
It wasn't the Green New Deal, but it was like the Green New Deal.
And we were like, that would cost $10 trillion.
And it was like, that's crazy.
He's just spent $10 trillion.
And I don't even know what.
What?
In his first 100 days, what have we spent it on?
it's really incredible.
Do you know?
Well, I mean, we went through the first bill, which had very little to do with, I mean,
it had a little bit of money in there for COVID, a little bit of money going to back to the people,
but that was about it.
Do you know how you could change the world with $10 trillion?
Do you think anything that he has proposed will change anything?
You'll be able to walk out, with an exception of destruction of souls and people and work ethics and everything else.
Do you think that we would be able to stay?
back at any point and say to our children, that is because we spent that money.
Like our parents and grandparents could go back and say, we all came together for the space
program and that is what we spent our money on.
And you'd be like, okay, well, you know what?
You know, we could argue about it, but probably money well spent.
I mean, you know.
Certainly a great achievement.
A great achievement.
One of the greatest human achievements of all.
time. Do you think we're going to get any greatest human achievement? I would say,
$10 trillion to go put a colony on Mars. Okay. Okay, I'd consider it. I mean, it's not my kind of thing.
And I don't like the government spending. But I mean, if we're going to spend $10 trillion,
put a base on the moon and let's put a colony on Mars. That I would go, okay, I'm really against the
government doing all of this. But if we're going to spend $10,000,
trillion dollars on that. Okay, go ahead.
Yeah, there's nothing. There's nothing of that. I mean, that's, I think,
what he's going to try to paint that picture tomorrow night, you know, where we're spending
this money to build up our infrastructure and do these amazing things and we can work together
to do them. But we've seen this, we've seen this movie too many times. You know, this is not
how it works out. Our roads and bridges. Oh, shut up about our roads and bridges. Oh, my gosh.
These poor roads and bridges. They should have built them right the first time, apparently.

what our ally Israel was doing.
200 different events he alerted them to.
Is that a problem for anybody?
Also, we have Byron York on.
He has written a new book called Obsessed
that I want to delve into because it touches on
a few things that are still going on.
The media was obsessed with destroying Donald Trump.
Now they are obsessed on changing history, the history that we even know,
covering up for things that were really, really horrible,
and furthering stories that just are not true.
Just are not true.
Does the truth matter anymore?
Iron York joins us in 60 seconds.
All right.
May I suggest, may I suggest that you do what I do?

Byron York is the chief political correspondent for the Washington Examiner and author of the book,
Obsession, and a host of the podcast of the Byron York Show. Welcome. Byron, how are you,
sir? Good. I, you know, I have, we've got about 20 minutes and I want to run through a
bunch of things with you. First of all, I was talking to Victor Davis Hansen the other day,
and I asked him this question in your book really kind of, I mean, this is what your book is about,
obsession, the obsession that people had on getting rid of Donald Trump and just destroying him
at all costs. And I asked him, when it comes to the media, the media, I know hated themselves
because they thought that they had, you know, them playing footstops.
with him helped him get elected.
But is it just that?
Or was the media's obsession with this also
pushed by the elites in, you know, the FBI
or the CIA, any of the deep state stuff
that saw Donald Trump as a real threat
because he was going to upset the apple cart
one way or another.
And they weren't going to have any of that.
Which was the main factor?
the press just hating him and hating themselves, or the deep state really kind of juicing that up and pushing stuff at them.
So the question is, you raise a great question.
I'm not a really good armchair psychologist, but I do believe it was threatening to some people who felt an inner of input and control over the Republican Party agenda, and they became minorities.
And the fact is, 17, two weeks before Trump's guy has his information about him and a Jay Edgar Hooper move.
So what I'm trying to get at here is you had the intelligence agencies, law enforcement agencies, doing extraordinary things, the whole dossier, to try to expand.
So there was this broad obsession.
Yeah, and it is the people who supported Trump, and that includes, you know, most Democrats, I mean, sorry, most Republican,
whether they were big supporters or not, it doesn't matter.
If you're not in line, now it's your turn to be smeared and destroyed.
And just when you thought the FBI couldn't get any worse, there's a couple of things.
First of all, I read and I saw your great article rebutting this, the FBI now saying that
the Alexandria shooting, the baseball shooting, I mean, notice it doesn't have a name.
You have to kind of explain it before people even remember it.
where Steve Scalise and all of the Republicans would have been killed if it wasn't by the grace of God.
Just this massacre, the FBI comes out and says that wasn't politically motivated.
The guy had the names of the representatives in his pocket with physical descriptions.
How is this suicide by cop?
Yeah, we just learned this about a week and a half ago.
It's finally killed.
So you're absolutely right.
He is a good job.
The shooting is in June.
Republicans are just side by cop.
You pulled ship, so he had a security detail.
They were in plain clothes.
Simply no way in the world.
They didn't leak it.
Side by cop in November of 2017.
And we just found it out because one of those Republicans, Brad, fine.
You weren't director then.
So here's why this is really relevant.
You know, they said that Brian Sicknick was, you know, killed by in the Capitol riots.
They say this is the worst thing that's ever happened.
And they're obsessed over all this.
Sidnik did not die from injuries at the Capitol.
He died of a stroke the next day in the hospital.
So they're trying to make this into really an Alexandria kind of moment where it wasn't.
It was a horrible, horrible moment.
But it wasn't something where they were going in and trying to kill everybody.
at least seriously like this guy was.
Could have been and was horrible in and of itself.
But the media and the FBI seem so focused on only things that come from the right
that I am, I don't trust the FBI anymore.
And that is, that's saying something, Byron.
I've always trusted the FBI and the government.
I mean, you know, I've been skeptical, you know,
and see, let me see all the evidence, but I don't trust them at all anymore.
Yeah, I think that is one five years.
And I think you're exactly right.
First of all, I think maybe for your listeners, we should say they search for, I mean,
so I think there's plenty of reason to not trust the leadership of the FBI.
There's the FISA.
Are we ever going to get a final report?
Are we ever going to see the final report on any of this?
Do you think?
Who still think that everything is just a part of the,
the picture. You have to kind of put it, Trump campaign. It's not because Carter Page was the most
important person in the world. If you're not reading the Washington Examiner and following Byron
York, you're reading, I don't know what you're reading. You should be following the Washington
Examiner. It is really, really good. We read it every single day. Byron is the chief political
correspondent and author of the book, Obsession, also another must read and the host of the Byron
York show. Thank you so much, Byron. We'll talk again.
Thank you, Glenn.

Yesterday I told you about a New York Times article.
We have Donald Trump Jr. coming up in just a second.
there was an article in the New York Times came out yesterday reporting on a leaked interview
between the Iranian foreign minister and an economist, and it was never supposed to be published.
The leaked interview comes from an Iranian resistance outlet based out of the UK called Iran
International. The credentials are legitimate. They've been nominated twice for the
International Channel of the Year by the Association for International Broadcasting.
Iran international's angle here was that the Iranian official was admitting out in the open that
now Stu hold down you just I don't want you to flip back on your chair and
yeah that's very a very rash or anything like that this is but their angle was that the Iranian
official was admitting right out in the open that the Mullahs and the Republican Guard call
the shots in Iran not the elected officials what now this is a time
that you would like to have Blaze TV
because we are, our
faces have just become the emojis
with the big eyes.
What? What? I mean, we're surprised.
Call us shocked.
Everyone knows that.
But what was buried
in this story?
Something that we are going to talk
to Donald Trump
Jr. about and also get an update
on his dad and what they are
working on right now for the future.
Coming up next.
This is the Glenback.

Yesterday we told you about a little nugget in a New York Times piece.
It was like third paragraph from the very end, and it was not even commented on.
And it talked about how the Iranian foreign ministers let it slip that John Kerry had personally advised him that Israel had struck Iranian interest in Syria at least 200 times.
Now, the White House yesterday said we're not going to talk about leaked tapes.
Iran said this was a leaked tape.
It was never supposed to be released.
It was given to a think tank.
It was supposed to be held for posterity, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And the White House isn't commenting on this.
Really?
They're not commenting.
So the interview actually happened.
The media is not stumbling over themselves to get to the bottom of whether John Kerry leaked classified information of an ally to their number one enemy and an enemy of the United States.
Google the story.
No one is asking the question.
Now Google the story of Trump leaking classified information to the Russians in the Oval
office.
They went insane.
That, that story isn't even true.
That story.
But Google that story.
That's there.
They question that.
Every major news outlet in the country and the world were running the same angle.
But nobody is saying anything about this.
So it's some anonymous source.
It was some anonymous source when they said this about Trump,
except the National Security Advisor and the Deputy National Security Advisor for strategy,
both in the room at the time said that never happened.
And they weren't known to be Trump lovers.
They said that never happened, but that didn't stop the media.
The job of the media is to hold the government accountable, but they're not doing it.
It doesn't, it doesn't.
The laws don't apply, it seems, to some underground.
political elite and John Kerry is in that protected zone.
So did he or did he not leak information about the Israelis to the Iranians?
Well, he said yesterday that these allegations are unequivocally false.
This never happened either when I was Secretary of State or since.
But then the State Department released information saying the information, saying the information
that Kerry allegedly leaked was already public knowledge and not classified.
John Kerry said it never happened.
The State Department said it happened, but it was no big deal.
Which is it?
The guy sits on the National Security Council.
Which is it?
The comment on this and so much more is Donald Trump Jr.
Hey, Don, how are you?
I'm doing well yourself.
I'm good.
I'm good.
I think you and your family often.
say hi to your dad for us. How's he doing?
He's doing well. I just saw him a few minutes ago.
So he's doing really well.
I think you're saying it really well.
I mean, it's sort of amazing what you can get away with if you're a Democrat.
I wrote the book about liberal privilege, but we're seeing it more and more every day.
Whether it's John Kerry, whether it's Eric Swalwell sitting on the House Intelligence Committee,
whilst I guess it's okay for him to sleep with a Chinese spy, it seems like a double standard.
I would think, Glenn, that these people would lose their minds if someone to
the Trump administration did this.
Oh, they would have, and they rightfully should have.
If your dad, I mean, this is what's crazy.
If your dad were giving secrets to the Russians, he should have been impeached.
It would have been a big deal.
But he wasn't.
And they knew it the whole time, and they ran with it just to destroy your father, his legacy
and his chances of winning a second time.
But now we actually have evidence that somebody is doing it.
this and they don't care.
Wait.
100%.
And it's not like it's a random occurrence.
I mean, it's pretty clear that John Kerry has very close relationships with those in Iran
in power.
So this isn't like it's something that's surprising and out of the blue.
I mean, these things are pretty well known.
You know, I'm pretty sure they would have talked about the various violations, whether
a hatch act or otherwise, of all of the things that he's been doing had he been a Republican,
but because he's not, he's totally immune for.
from any prosecution or criticism even,
uh,
from a media who just refuses to do their stated job of,
you know,
their profession.
You know,
it's,
it's one thing to attack you guys personally.
And I honestly,
Don't know how you guys live through it.
I really don't.
I have so much respect for your family,
for your father,
for Malani,
all of you guys,
for what you put up with.
And I mean,
I would have just,
I would have been on the roof of a building like a postal worker at some
point.
I mean,
I don't know how you did it.
and still continue to do it.
But, you know, the one thing, it's one thing coming after you,
it's another to actually make real accomplishments in the Middle East,
things that people have been trying to do since the 1940s,
you did them,
nobody recognized them at the time,
and now in less than 100 days, everything's coming undone.
Well, that's what's really scary.
I mean, they're literally referred, you know,
peace in the Middle East was sort of like the holy grail
of geopolitical politics.
And we actually did it.
My father's administration actually did it.
Now you have business opportunities,
your flights between Israel
and other parts of the Middle East.
They all probably wanted to open up that door,
but there was a long history
that made it a little bit hard.
Now, Donald Trump opened that door,
and within a few weeks,
not only is John Kerry seemingly
fueling the Iranians,
the world's number one leading state
sponsor of terror,
doing it at the expense of our number one ally in the region, Israel.
You know, we're bombing the Middle East again after, you know, sort of trying to end the endless wars.
All of these things that are so popular with the American public, not so much with the Washington, D.C.
establishment and sort of the military industrial complex to sort of use the old-fashioned term there.
But they're reversing one of the most successful foreign policy missions ever.
so in 100 days. It's truly
impressive. I grossly underestimated
Joe Biden's ability to screw
things up. I knew it would be bad. I didn't
realize it would be this bad.
I didn't know it would be this fast. I
figured it would be bad,
but not this fast. I mean,
look what happened on the border.
And, you know, now nobody cares
about the cages. You know, nobody
cares about the policies. He's reversing
himself in some cases where
he's going back and doing exactly what
your father did. But it's a
mess down there. It's an absolute mess. In days, he created that.
Correct. And they're running around saying, oh, how did this happen? I mean, when you give someone,
you offer someone everything for free, you're going to get free health care, free education.
This was a welcome ticket. You know, they get to give Kamala Harris's book to children at the border.
Imagine someone in the Trump administration did that. You know, the indoctrination of youth continues. It's not just in our
schools anymore. It's now at the border in Joe Biden's cages. You know, this stuff never ends. And yet,
again, if it was a Trump administration official, people would be losing their minds. It would drive,
you know, a multiple week-long news cycle. When Joe Biden does it, he gets a total pass. And they don't
even discuss these things. I mean, you know, they're no longer cages. They were only cages for the
four years between the Obama administration and the Biden administration. Before and after that
four-year period of time. They're migrant
facilities where they're helping
children. I mean, it's absolutely
insane. And, you know, what's scary
going is it feels like the American public, while
there are some, and probably many of your listeners,
influenced by a mainstream
media that has shown to be nothing
but partisan hacks. I mean, they're literally
or real about today's
mainstream media, and yet
many Americans still don't see that.
So tomorrow,
Joe Biden is going to get up,
and I don't know how they're going to keep him awake until 9 o'clock at night,
but he's going to get up and he's going to speak.
Usually, this is when a president will say, you know,
he'll spell out big ideas and ask for money.
In a hundred days, he has already put in legislation over $10 trillion in spending.
I don't know how much more you can ask for, but, you know,
and not that they asked us for it.
I mean, they should just do this speech at the Fed.
Hey, print some more money.
I want to do these things.
What do we expect to see tomorrow?
What do you think we're going to see tomorrow?
Well, listen, I think you're going to see a bunch of Democrat soundbites that have no basis in economics.
You know, I'm not a master of these things in terms of macroeconomic policy and monetary policy.
But what's going on is crazy.
Like, you've got to realize, like, this money has to be paid back.
And I get it's great to be able to bribe the people with their own.
own money, even though they're only getting a small fraction of the stimulus money, right?
You say, you sign a multiple trillion dollar bill, here's a couple of grand, no worries.
You know, they don't explain to the people that, guess what, each family owns approximately
6,000.
So you get 2,000, but you owe 6 now.
Eventually, you got to pay the piper, Glenn.
And so this is not sustainable.
It doesn't work.
We are putting our children and our grandchildren in debts that they will never be able to get
out of.
and you know, they're doing it, okay, no one's saying anything because it's Joe Biden.
He's trying to be really nice.
He's not.
He's really nice in sound bites and on TV.
And yet, if you look at the policies that he's pushing, there's nothing more than partisanship.
And there's nothing more than vindictiveness within them.
You know, again, he gets to have that pass because the profession known as the media simply no longer exists the way it was supposed to.
Do you believe, I mean, you have to sit around and talk about this.
your dad built an economy that was actual, it was real.
It was starting to work for the people down to the bottom of the end or the bottom of the ladder.
And that's when it's real.
This is going to be a sugar rush.
And I think we're going to have a, I mean, you just can't open an economy and not have a boom.
Of course we're going to have a boom.
But it's also, with all of this bogus money, it is, I mean, it's going to be unlike anything we've ever seen.
That may be 1929 up and down.
is your 100%.
And then you combine that with, you know, wanting to raise tax rates on, you know, corporate America who employs so many people.
You do that by wanting to more, seemingly more than double the capital gains tax for people who are investing in those companies so they can hire.
I mean, you're creating a disaster of epic proportions.
What that will do to the economy is truly, it's scary.
And I mean, this isn't just like, okay, well, we believe in a little.
a little bit higher taxes. These are graconian taxes that they want to put on Americans,
whether it's corporate or, you know, civilian at a time when they're literally coming out
of a global pandemic. You know, I understand the Democrats notion of, you know, you can tax
everyone, you know, Margaret Thatcher said at best when you said the problem with socialism
is eventually run out of other people's money. But to do so at a time like this, when the
economy and small business, you know, they've been teetering on the brink for a,
while, like the death knell to so many of those businesses, if they do that.
When people pull their money out of the markets, when they're worried about these sort of
things, it's going to be a disaster.
And the fact that no one's saying that, again, I don't care how you feel about these things
in normal times.
But if you're going to put that kind of, you know, hammer down at literally the end of a
pandemic, I don't know what these people expect.
I really don't.
I mean, you wake up and you wonder if you're watching The Onion when you're seeing the
news on a daily basis because it's like a caricature of itself.
We're talking to Donald Trump, Jr. Don, I don't know if you guys are paying attention
to the Great Reset and what is coming with these ESGs, but it explains the corporations.
It explains why so many countries around the world, you know, did some black ops work against
your dad, et cetera, et cetera. I think that he was, he was, this would never have.
happen under your father. And I think they knew that. And this is one of the reasons why he is out.
But I urge you, if you haven't yet, to look into the Great Reset from the World Economic Forum.
And ESGs has just been pushed through in the European Parliament.
Of course. I'm not as familiar with it as I probably should be. But the reality is this.
When all of these foreign governments are going against an individual like my father, there's a reason for that.
And it's not because he was good for their economy.
He was good for hours.
America has been like the moronic, like red-headed stepchild of the world for so long,
paying for all of their things, subsidizing the UN to ridiculous numbers,
subsidizing everyone, whether it's NATO or otherwise.
Donald Trump just said, hey, we'd expect everyone to carry their fair share.
Of course they hated Donald Trump.
They had the gravy train of a lifetime.
America's just going to be a dumb idiot.
and pay for all of our stuff.
They're going to subsidize it.
They're going to be able to, you know, China, free trade.
Oh, yeah, they really want free trade.
They don't want free trade.
They want America to be a fool.
They want one-sided free trade where they get to do whatever they want.
And if America does anything, they raise holy hell.
That's what's going on for so long.
So I don't want foreign governments to love our president because it means you're a schmuck.
If these people love you so much, it means you're being a schmuck, in my opinion,
especially as it relates to monetary policy.
these sorts of things. And so Joe Biden's
reverting that because he doesn't know what's going on.
He'll put what, he'll sign whatever the radical
left puts in front of him.
You know, in between naps, he'll
do a couple of those things. They'll put
him on a teleprompter. He'll even botched that
every time. But no one cares because no one
in the media is going to call it out. That's why it's so important
for guys like yourself. And it's why I've
remained so vocal. I mean, I could very easily go
back to, you know, making money and
being in real estate and doing those kind of things.
But there's too much at stake,
Glenn. I got five kids. I want to leave them
a country they recognize. I know. Don, it's great to have you on. Always is, we'd love to have you on more often. Donald Trump, Jr., more in just a second. We've got to take a quick network break. I'll tell you about real estate agents. I trust.com. This is my company. And so I'll just tell you plainly, this is a free service to you.

This is the...
Oh, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
COVID virus.
We have an update on how the states are doing.
Huh.
Wow.
I guess it didn't pan out for everybody on the Texas and Florida going to get us all killed.
For some reason, that's not working out.
But the Biden administration deeply cares, and that's why they have a
conference call with all 50 governors.
And, well, I mean, the vice president and president have missed almost every single one.
And the 50 governors are like, hey, can we get the people who are actually in charge of this,
you know, on the White House conference call?
Could we maybe get them so we can ask them some questions?
No, no.
You don't have any questions of legitimacy to ask.
I mean, what are you going to ask them?
Your is so puny, I don't know if you'd be able to comprehend their really, really brilliant answers.
Uh-huh.
We start there with the infallible experts in 60 seconds.
So, may I suggest that you call Gold Line and ask them about physical gold or silver?
Stu, when we first started talking about the dollar is going to collapse.
And, you know, for years, I mean, it seemed insane to everybody.
But for years, you were like, oh, dear God, shut up.
Shut up about this.
Yeah.
And it seemed like there was no way the dollar could collapse.
Is there a way that you can see where the dollar doesn't collapse now?
It's scary.
That's a serious question.
I mean, how, I mean, how does anyone think that this is going to last?
again like the dollar might be around but it's going to be worth a lot less that's pretty much a certainty
nah not a certainty it's all gonna it's all gonna be fine it's all gonna be fine so if you believe that
uh you know i i i've got some swamp land uh to sell you here and that is wonderful and just call
me and get those details uh if you're a smart individual and know this there's no way mathematically
this can last. There's no way.
Please call
a gold line now. They're waiting
for your call. Find out about gold
or silver. See if it is right for you.
It is right for my family.
But have physical gold.
Don't get paper gold. Paper gold is
just as worth. Why would
you say I want something that
is not a fiat currency
and I'm going to buy
it in paper? So I
don't actually have it. There's not
enough gold. For all the paper that
is being issued, there's not enough gold in the world to cover that.
If this really does happen, what do you think is going to happen?
Oh, yeah, you'll get your gold.
Yeah, you're going to get your gold.
And it's guaranteed, guaranteed.
I mean, at some point, we don't have enough now.
Come on.
Physical gold.

Tomorrow night on Glenn TV.
After months of delays in COVID-19 excuses and 100 days into his presidency,
Biden will finally give his first joint address to Congress.
Some predict his plan will be like JFK's moon landing challenge.
But will it be closer to FDR's New Deal nightmare?
Glenn Beck hosts a live reaction show with the great one Mark Levin,
as they break down the address that can.
completely transform our economy.
Watch it live with Glenn Beck and Mark Levin.
Tomorrow night, 9 p.m. Eastern at blaisTV.com slash Glenn.
Stu asked me a few minutes ago, you know, if you could take anything with you,
what was the good thing that you would take with you from COVID?
And I'm going to get into that because he's got an old list.
We're getting into that here in a second.
But I want to use air quotes when I use the word positive,
because I'm using that positive, very, very, very,
loosely here. But the one thing I wish we could take along with us is this, we for the first
time, at least in my lifetime, got to see and experience the reality of what so-called authorities
really know and what they really believe. And we saw firsthand, they don't believe in you,
and they don't know jack squat. They're doing a job and they're doing the best that they can
you know, not all of them are bad people.
I think that's a bad thing that we have started to label people.
Anybody who is part of this,
we just assume that everybody is somehow part of an evil, you know,
group or they're just doing it intentionally.
They're not a lot of people just don't have any idea what they're doing,
and they're doing the best that they can,
and they're not part of a global conspiracy.
And I do, I mean, it's not lost on me that I'm saying.
It's not part of a global conspiracy.
Anyway, let's just assume for a minute that everyone involved, from Fauci to Trump to Dr.
Burks, all of it, all of it, people doing the gain of function research on bat coronaviruses.
Let's give everyone the benefit of the doubt that they're not part of a Soros Gates globalist conspiracy that used COVID-19 to usher in the Great Reset and control our lives.
Okay, it might be true, but let's just pretend it's not for a second.
You can leave all those accusations aside because you don't need them.
What we need to really recognize and take with us from this is that the so-called authorities have no idea what they're doing.
That's the biggest argument against conspiracy theories.
You know, like, you think they could pull this off?
They had done their ass from their elbow.
What are you talking about?
the people we have put in place exactly for and precisely to manage global human diseases and public health issues were wrong, then wrong again, then wrong again a dozen more times.
They built and used models at the very beginning that were wrong, dramatically overestimating the case fatality rate for COVID-19.
That led to unnecessary lockdowns.
I'm not saying anybody did this, they were doing their best, but we just didn't know.
Then they urged no mask wearing.
Then they urged mask wearing.
Then they urged two or three masks.
Now I think we're back to no.
I don't know where we are on that.
The social distancing guidelines of six feet or three feet for kids, that's entirely made up.
That's entirely made up.
Study after study has shown that for the U.S.
state by state and globally nation by nation, there's no statistical difference in how the
virus spread and what the fatality rate was across any given populace.
Lockdowns and mass mandates did not impact the spread of the virus.
Otherwise, we would have different results now in Texas and Florida, wouldn't we?
Now, it doesn't mean that anyone was bad.
It doesn't mean that Fauci or Bricks or anything.
or bad people.
They're doing the best that they could if we give them the benefit of the doubt with the information they had.
And given the context of politics and the bureaucracy and D.C. and the media,
the mistakes that were made resulted in real negative outcomes, including decimating the U.S. economy and violating so many rights.
That's why 60% of Americans are skeptical of the government, their official COVID-19 numbers.
about 25% of likely U.S. voters have indicated they don't plan on getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
Why?
Because we don't really feel like we've had anything that was true.
We see other things that are bad like this, but this isn't the bubonic plague.
And because we have so overreacted for such a long time, it was fine to overreact for the first month,
two months. But once we hit summer, we were all kind of looking at it going, okay, I think we know what we have here. And it's not as bad as everybody said. And everybody has made, you know, Fauci into this golden calf that we're supposed to just, you know, worship. Now, if the government doesn't have anything going for it on COVID-19, I mean, if they screwed it up this badly on COVID-19, all of the all of the so-called experts that got so much, so wrong.
Is there a possibility that they don't have it right other places?
Take, for example, 94% of professional Wall Street stockbrokers are bullish looking at U.S. stocks over the next 12 months.
And not to be outdone, but retail investors, mom and pop investors like you and me, are equally committed with 9.8 long bets for every one short bet.
That's 98% of the people think, this is going to be great.
It's going to be a boom.
Usually when everyone's in the boat, it's bad, especially when the stragglers like you and me, we start to glom on.
So wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
We just experienced the highest ranked and most powerful government officials.
We experienced that they got almost everything wrong with COVID-19, wrong diagnosis of how deadly it was, wrong treatment.
in face masks lockdown, wrong policies on medical treatments, not protecting our older population
with true quarantines for those most vulnerable.
But when it comes to the economy and stocks and money printing, we don't really talk about
Janet Yellen, Jerome Powell, Joe Biden.
Do they have the slightest idea of what they're doing when they are telling us they're
doing things that have never been done before?
I just think that's a problem because you're dealing with the money that we all have in our savings account.
Anything that you saved could be gone because they're trying something we've never done before.
Now, COVID-19 was something we had never seen in our lifetimes.
And look at what the government did.
I got news for you.
No one has ever seen what's coming in our global financial system either.
Listen to these numbers.
64% of all of the new currency created across the entire world.
In the past 12 months has been U.S. dollars.
64%.
The previous one year high was 14% of all currency was U.S. dollars.
64%.
Retail investors made 27% of all U.S. stock trades in Q1.
10 years ago, retail investors accounted for only 5% of total stock trades.
So that means if it crashes, you're involved.
The Fed has printed currency to buy $2.5 trillion in new government bonds, plus nearly a trillion in corporate bonds and ETFs.
Prior to the year 2020, the Federal Reserve had never bought any of those things.
They had never purchased any of those things, ever, at all.
So we have no idea what's going on with the stock market.
Every indication shows U.S. stocks are historically overvalued compared to earnings and corporate revenues.
There is no precedent ever for the Fed printing more than 25% worth of GDP in new currency
and using it to prop up the government and the entire financials.
sector. Now, much like the lockdowns and the masks and the closed schools, this is just a live
experiment that we're just doing, and you're the guinea pig. Effective zero rate interest for
new debt, trillions in new currency digitally printed and used to buy bonds, stocks, keeping
companies that Uncle Sam wants to keep afloat afloat and keeping Uncle Sam afloat. Stocks blown up to
the largest asset bubble in human history, but don't worry, the authorities have this.
they have it.
You know, Fauci may be taking his punches now,
but I expect a couple of years from now,
it's going to be Powell and Yellen.
Yeah.
Assuming that they have the best intentions,
we shouldn't assume they know what they're doing
or that they actually have a plan that you or I would agree with.
See, the phenomenon that I want to take from COVID
is the potent director's fallacy.
And I'd like to take that because we have
recognized it as a fallacy
that our directors
know exactly what to do
and this comes from a time of economic expansion
or we win wars and whatever and people are like
see they know what they're doing
but once there's trouble we really see they don't know
it's I like to call it the Wizard of Oz effect
don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain
Powell Yellen
Fauci
Biden
They're all behind a curtain
and they're just pulling levers and knobs
They have absolutely no idea
What the hell they're doing
And they hope that it works out
Until Dorothy arrives
Because at the end of the day
We're all going to find out
They're nothing but traveling salesmen
That's it
Don't buy what they're hawking

or www. nmLS consumer access.org.
So, Diane wrote in about her experience with American financing.
She says, I'm a realtor of 34 years, and this was my personal refi loan, and it went incredibly
smoothly.
Weekly updates were great knowing where the process was on a daily basis, through the website
was nice.
I could look at it at any time.
Best of all, I'm saving $400 a month on payments.
I highly recommend American financing.
Diane, thanks for writing in.
It appears that you're one of the many people who discover on a daily basis what it's like to be treated the American financing way.
You're treated with respect.
You're treated as family.
You're treated like a small business treats people because that's what they are.
They're still a family owned and operated business.
And they will cover you coast to coast, but it still has that mentality.
And they don't work for the bank.
They work for you.
So you want to save money?
You want to get the right loan?

So if you could take anything
from the COVID experience,
I would take what we've learned
how fast we can turn into a dictatorship
and that our authorities really don't know
jack squat, they're bluffing.
But I'd also maybe take
working from home.
I do like that.
Keeps me closer to my family, but most Americans can't do that.
You're working at the 7-Eleven or you're working construction or whatever you're not doing it from home.
You know what?
I'm going to build that shed at my house.
I don't think that'll work.
I don't think that'll work.
Stu, you had a list earlier this week of the things that you would keep from COVID.
Yeah, tell me if you disagree with any of these.
No traffic?
Yes.
I would keep that.
Uh, social distancing.
Now, look, I understand people like to gather.
I don't mean that.
I just mean I want you to stand six feet away from me at least.
I don't has, it has nothing to do with COVID.
I just don't want the, the Seinfeld close talker thing coming back.
We got rid of it.
Let's, let's keep it gone.
How did you ever work with me?
How do you work with me?
Because I'm like a hugger.
I mean, I don't, I mean, you are sometimes about, I don't, I mean, look,
hugger is a different thing than talking, you know, six inches away from somebody's face.
There's no reason.
Okay.
I sit across a table from you and do a radio show and we're, you know, five or six
feet away every day.
Like, that's fine.
We can hear each other.
It's easy.
Hand washing.
Keep washing your hands, boys and girls.
That bothers me that we have to tell people that.
You know, it is really weird, but like the, yeah, it's just something we should just kind
of keep around.
Streaming new movies at home.
I'm in.
I want to keep that.
Now, I want the theaters to stay around, too.
I know I want the best of both worlds here.
So I went to see.
I went to see Godzilla with my son this weekend.
We saw it already on, I know.
We saw it already on TV the day it came out and it was good.
But it was nothing like seeing it on the big screen.
First of all, it was not good.
It is a, I can't even finish it.
It's so bad.
I mean, and I like, I loved Godzilla.
The one with Brian Cranston in it, the first one, I thought it was great.
Really? This is, the last one was terrible, though, too.
How about, they're not great.
They're not great.
No, they're not great.
I mean, they, they, it's a Godzilla movie.
So as far as Godzilla movies go, it's fantastic.
No, it's not fantastic.
Mr. CGI, opposition to CGI.
It looks like a cartoon.
It's not even, it's so, the, the CGI is so overpowering ridiculous.
This is, I'm not, this is not one of the things I want to keep from COVID, Godzilla movies.
I don't think it's coming back.
How about driving theaters?
They made a bit of a comeback.
I thought that was cool during COVID.
I never went.
Okay.
How about, now, this was.
one's going to be controversial, but let me just say it.
Masks, but only for
Lena Dunham. We just
keep her, just for her.
Okay. Alcohol delivery.
Positive of COVID.
Now again, this is... Because of COVID? Yeah, they wouldn't...
I mean, alcohol should always be delivered to anyone's home day or night.
Especially from restaurants. Now, they have services that will do it, but they, at least in
Texas, they change the laws around this because they're like, oh, they, people don't need to
go to church, but they've got to have a Moscow mule delivered to.
their home. That's got to happen.
True. It is true. God works, but it's a long time.
It's a long time. You've got to really work for it and everything else.
Alcohol works the minute you get it. It's true. Now, Glenn, this one you will appreciate, I think.
Self-quarantining. The ultimate excuse to get out of a social event.
I can't. I'm self-quarantined right now. Unfortunately, I just can't make it.
That's a solid one. Damn it. I wish I could.
Working from home. How do you feel about working from?
from home. You're working from home today. I love it. I love it. That's a big thing.
Telemedicine, not having to go to the doctors. Now that was around before, but it is much more
prominent now. I think it's a good one. Empty middle seats on planes. I want to keep that.
Yeah, I love it. Good one. Okay. Yeah. How about no more April Fool's Day? They basically
canceled it in April 2020 and then they like all the companies got to do their dumb little jokes that
no one laughs at, but they do anyway. I'm fine getting rid of it forever.
Yeah, okay, I'm good with that.
I don't see that as one of the real benefits of COVID.
I'm saying things I want to keep around.
Like no more birthday candle blowing out and then eating the cake right afterward.
That's a weird thing.
Think about it for a second.
It's weird.
No, I don't have to.
I think about it every time somebody blows the candles out.
I have one hamburger a month.
I'm not making this up.
Did you see Simon & Schuster has decided to change some of their cookbooks?
they're going to go in and they're going to make cookbooks with a lot less meat because
people shouldn't have meat now because of the environment.
I believe this is either the apocalypse or another civil war.
This is the way it starts.
I'm just saying eating a perfect hamburger, don't you dare even come close to me.
Don't.
And now especially that I have a rec tech because rec techs, their smart grill technology is
amazing.
And you will never burn anything.
It will come out perfect.
single time and you don't have to do very much at all.
And you can smoke your meat until it falls off the bone.

It grills, it smokes, it even bakes.
It's smart grill technology.

You know, you'll hear a lot of experts talk about the virus, talk about the shots that
everybody's supposed to get when it comes to COVID.
But the guy we have with us now, you probably know, Dr. Harvey Reach, he's an epidemiology
professor at the Yale School of Public Health.
So this is his specialty.
Now, he's the guy who, I guess we first heard of during the.
this pandemic because he said hydroxychloroquine works. It's easy. We have it. It works. It will help,
you know, get rid of a lot of this stuff. I know that I took hydroxychloroquine. When my family had
COVID, everything else, I never got it. I stopped taking it six months later. I've got COVID.
I think hydroxychloroquine was a miracle and at least something that would slow things down for a lot of people, but who am I to say?
Dr. Harvey Reach is here with us now.
Hi, Dr. How are you?
Good morning.
How are you?
Good.
Thank you so much for speaking out, whether you're right or wrong, speaking out about the things that you believe in and not bowing to the pressure of this new weird science.
rule that we just don't question authority.
Let me talk to you about the vaccines.
I get so much heat because I've had COVID.
I'm not interested in getting the vaccine.
I'm not an anti-vaxxer.
I don't have a problem with the vaccine.
But I know my kids are young.
I'm not going to give it to them.
And because I don't think it's, I think there's too many questions
out there about something that is brand new that we've not had, you know, trials on.
If they needed it, my parents, I would give it to my parents.
I encouraged my parents to take it.
If I were a little older and more frail, I would take it.
I'm called insane for having those standards.
Am I?
No, you're completely rational.
And when people are calling you names instead of debating the science, you know, the tables
have flipped. The science, you know, the real science, the evidence is what matters. And we know a couple
days ago, proof of exactly your understanding has been written in an article from Israel where they
actually looked at some 7 million people and their experience from taking the vaccines or having
had COVID or being unvaccinated and not knowingly have had COVID. And what they found is
that there was equal protection from getting COVID either a second time or after vaccination
from people who have been vaccinated as the same as people who've had COVID in the past.
And this means that their protection from COVID is just as good as 90% or higher than the same as the
vaccines from getting COVID.
So then why is everybody pounding on?
Nobody seems to be paying attention to what we have going on in Israel.
We have a population that has vaccinated.
They have heard immunity now.
And we're seeing different kinds of results.
We have the facts.
Why isn't anybody talking about this?
Well, because I think there's different motivations than just vaccinating people for their health benefit.
I think we are in a mania.
There's no other way to put it that people are convinced as a matter of their religious
assumptions that vaccination is their creed and it's a mania that there's no discussion.
There's no pros and cons that the cons don't matter no matter what.
I think that what's more interesting than Israel even is United Arab Emirates who've also vaccinated 60% of their
population with essentially the same vaccine, the Pfizer vaccine. And I think their experience is more
realistic. One sees is the mortality come down quickly, but the case numbers not. The case numbers
came down, but much more slowly. And that is what's to be expected from vaccination. And that's
why, even though we've been vaccinating a lot in the U.S., that there's still cases occurring, and we
do have herd immunity in many states in the U.S., but it will be slow.
and that doesn't matter.
And as I've been saying for the whole year, it's not the cases that matter.
It's the people who are hospitalized and the people who die from the disease that matter.
And people are just freaking out.
Because that's what separates this from the flu is how bad it gets for so many people
and how many people would die from it compared to the flu.
But if you get it and you're sick and you're home and you stay home for a couple of weeks
and you don't have to go to the hospital and you don't die from it, then it's just the flu.
Well, a couple of weeks would be enough to, you know, to put a big dent on people's economic viability and so on.
It should be a couple days.
And, you know, now we've got half a dozen or more medications to be used to treat this for outpatients when they're treated in the first few days.
They all work.
They all combine.
They're very effective.
They're even if we know they're effective for the Brazil,
variants of the Brazilians have been using them and have found them effective.
So we know how to manage this, and we've known how to manage it for a long time.
But, of course, can you think of any other drugs, any other approved medications that have been
blocked or prohibited by medical societies, you know, medical regulatory agencies?
No.
That is especially, like if you're talking hydroxychloroquine especially, that's been out forever,
forever.
We know exactly what it is.
So the fact that there's interference in a drug that is safer than aspirin that has been used for 55 years in tens of billions of doses, the fact that there's pushback and formal government and medical interference in that, there's no explanation other than a nefarious reason.
There's no health explanation.
So I could dismiss a lot of the things that were happening at the very beginning as, you know, we didn't know what we were dealing with.
with. Do we know what we're dealing with now?
Pretty much. Okay. Does it ever become something that we're, you know, because I said at the very
beginning, you know, that this is probably going to be something that we have to deal with for
the rest of our lives, like the flu, but if it is even has the same rate of death of the flu,
that's doubling that. And it's a big number. So it's not something you want to do. But it's
going to be with us forever and it's going to be like the flu. Does it look like we're headed
in that direction? Is that what we're, are we going to deal with this for the rest of our lives?
I think that there's two things. First of all, this is when, when children are affected, it's a cold.
For almost every, you know, one in 10,000, it may be more serious. But by and large, for almost
all children, young children, this is, this is nothing worse than a cold. If they spread it to
each other. It's unusual. Mostly they get it from adults. And they develop T-cell immunity,
and they're protected. We've only known about it for 15 months or something, so it's hard to know
how long anything lasts, but the evidence is that that T-cell immunity will be long last. We know
that T-cell immunity from SARS-1 is now 17 years old, and people still who have T-cell immunity
from that. So it's likely that children will get it. It'll be a cold-like illness, and they
most won't even know it, and it'll go away, and that'll be the end of it for them as they
get older in life. It's we adults who have to deal with it now when it gets entered into the
population as an endemic disease, which it is. So we have a transition period to get through it
that children, especially young children, will not have. And I think the long-term,
characteristic of this will be over the next 20 to 30 years when each new generation of children
hardly notices that anything's happening, whereas the adults, you know, have to deal with it one way
or another, and whether it's vaccination, whether it's getting the disease, whether it's
prevention, whether it's treatment, all of those are possible ways of dealing with it for the
adults.
Is there any reason that you can see that Texas and Florida and places that didn't lock down,
are doing better than the places like California and New York.
Why is that happening?
That's because lockdown is counterproductive.
At the beginning, the very beginning of this,
when we had no idea what was going on,
lockdown was useful in order to give us by time to figure out how to manage it,
how to keep the hospitals from overflowing right at the beginning.
But after that point, once the disease is endemic, there's no point,
because all you're doing is prolonging the inevitable.
The disease is endemic.
It is in the population.
It will grow to the degree that there is no herd immunity.
So the states like North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Arizona, Tennessee, you know,
that didn't lock down or didn't really lock down, that have let the infection go and occur in young people who are mostly unaffected.
or if they get it, it's a mild disease, and they recover pretty much perfectly well,
if not in a couple weeks, then a month or two, then what you get is you build up a lot of herd immunity.
And so we had herd immunity in North Dakota in October and South Dakota in October, November,
and so on. And so those peaks have come down dramatically.
Same as Texas and Florida.
The amount of herd immunity that's built up is quite large.
And once that happens, and this is, herd immunity is not a function of vaccines.
Vaccines contribute to it, but so does natural infection.
And most people are asymptomatic.
So they built up the herd immunity, whereas California didn't.
So is the idea that once you get the vaccine or once you've had it,
that you still have to be quarantined or you can't go out for Fourth of July or you have to wear masks?
That's bull crap, isn't it?
Well, so this is a subtle thing that I don't think was well recognized, and that is that just like masks, there's a benefit for the person and there's a benefit for the bystanders, the people around the person, and that's called source control.
And what we've heard that the manufacturers randomized trials for safety and efficacy only examined benefit for the people who were vaccinated.
and that benefit is between 60 and 90% and generally tending towards the 90% for most in the vaccination trials.
But what they didn't evaluate is how much vaccinated people do or don't transmit the infection to others.
And this is why I was saying the United Arab Emirates, their data shows that in fact transmission is not benefit nearly as well as
as vaccination for the person.
So the vaccines cut the individual's risk by 90% of getting COVID,
but they only cut the risk of transmission by 50% to 60%.
And that's why the case numbers go on for a long time,
even though the mortality goes down.
And I think that's really, we've been sold the idea that
if these vaccines prevent the disease by 90%,
then why can't we just go out and have normal life?
And the answer is because they don't prevent transmission nearly as much,
and so it will still spread.
Now, spreading is, as I said, is not necessarily bad if the people who are at high risk
who will do poorly if they get it are adequately protected, either by vaccination
or early treatment or prevention with hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, other medications.
If they're adequately protected, then the society reopens like normal.
Our schools should be open.
They camps should be open.
you know, because that is how you get herd immunity in safe, natural, protected ways.
And you protect high-risk people by keeping them basically separated to a certain degree,
as well as having vaccination and prevention and treatment.
And I think that's the whole way that we work out of this.
Dr. It is a pleasure to talk to you.
Thank you so much for the work that you do.
And keep your spine.
You are an inspiration to a lot of people that you are willing to take the hits from,
from, you know, your own circles.
Thank you for that.
Dr. Harvey Rish, go ahead.
Nature speaks to us through science.
And I don't consider that nature lies to me.
Nature tells the truth.
I just have to be open to listening to it.
And I'm just a messenger here.
Good for you.

Back in just a second.
Our sponsor, this half hour, is Relief Factor.
Megan lives in California.
In her mid-30s, she was in a horrible car accident, left her with shooting pains down her neck and her back.
Got to be so bad she was, you know, she was going to a chiropractor and an acupuncturist six times a week.
She heard about Relief Factor on the radio and decided to give it a try.
Within two days, she said her pain began to subside.
Within a few weeks, she was back to normal.
No more trips to the chiropractor.
No more trips to the acupuncturist.
Megan considers her discovery of relief factor to be nothing short of a miracle.
And it shows, I've been where Megan is.
I've been where you are now.
I'm past it.
Megan is past it.
Will you just try Relief Factor to see if you can get past it?
70% of the people who try the three-week quick start go on to order more.
You should know within three weeks.
Now it doesn't work for, you know, maybe 30% of the population.
But if it works for you, you can get your life back.
Try the three-week quick start and just see if it works for you.

So President Biden's going to give his first joint session of Congress speech tomorrow night.
Usually the, you know, state of the union and they go on and on and on and on.
I think you're going to see something miraculous,
something that you're actually going to say,
I'm glad Joe Biden was elected.
You're only seeing one thing tomorrow, one, and it's this.
His speechwriters know it's 9 o'clock at night.
There's no way he can go on for more than 20 minutes.
So they've kept it short.
There's no way this goes on for 90 minutes.
Yeah, no way.
If it goes on for 90 minutes, he's going to be like,
10, do it's late.
That's late.
Yeah, it's late for him.
And there's no way he can get through a 90-minute speech.
A 3.30 p.m. start time would be, I think, ideal.
He can make it for 40 minutes.
Yeah.
40 minutes.
No, I think you're right.
I mean, and that's the thing.
He's been completely incapable of making it through even one speech without having multiple real mess-ups in the middle of it.
The question is, can he get 80% of the speech right?
I mean, you're not really looking for 100% with Joe Biden.
Yeah, I think a little medicinal cocaine.
and he'd be jacked up and ready to fly.
Is that a recommendation?
Are you accusing him in using?
No, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just wondering how I'm doing tomorrow.
Just trying to help.
Just be there as a helper.
