Starting point is 00:02:02 First, let me tell you about relief factor. Alan lives in Arkansas, he has been in pain for over two decades now. He got injured in his 20s, working as a prison guard and was off work for nearly a year. His back never recovered afterwards, and the longest time he just lived with it, and it wasn't easy. Fortunately, Alan has a wife, like my wife. She got tired of listening to his complaints and convinced him try relief factor. When it says she convinced him, I'm guessing it went something like this. Alan, I'm not going to listen to wine anymore if you don't try everything. That's the way it happened with my loving wife.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Anyway, all of a sudden, Alan began to realize he was getting up in the morning and he was feeling better. And he just kept on feeling better. Now he says his back feels like it did when he was in his 20s again. It's a miracle for Alan. He got his life back using Relief Factor and so could you. Relief Factor. It's not a drug, but it was developed by doctors. And 70% of the people who try Relief Factor go on to order more.
Starting point is 00:03:04 because it works. Try the three-week quick start trial pack for only 1995. Go to Relieffactor.com or call 800, 583-84. It's Relieffactor.com, 800, 583-84. All right, welcome to the program. So they have dislodged the giant cargo ship in the Suez Canal. And the reason why I put you on duct tape alert is because we may be having another toilet paper crisis. Now, I mean, it's been a year. It's been a year. It's been a year. Just for the anniversary, why not?
Starting point is 00:03:58 Why not all go panic and buy a bunch of toilet paper? They're saying because of the Suez Canal being shut down, we may, the world may experience a toilet paper shortage. And I have to tell you, there are many things, air conditioning being one of them. I think air conditioning and toilet paper are my no-go zones. You know what I mean? If they say, Glenn, you can't have air conditioning and sorry, no more toilet paper, bad for the environment, I say let the planet burn. It's just my line, you know.
Starting point is 00:04:34 Indoor plumbing is also on that line. Refrigeration. Anything refrigerated, you know, that involves any kind of. of refrigeration. My house, my actual refrigerator, my car. Certainly electricity would fall into this. Got to have that. Well, if you could find another way to get the air conditioning running and the lights.
Starting point is 00:04:59 I guess lights are all. I think lighting is important. There's a lot of things on my. Here's what we're willing to do. Nothing. Okay? We're not going to do anything. I'm willing to separate my garbage.
Starting point is 00:05:10 But not really. Not really. I'm going to put them in the same garbage. I mean, I'll separate them and then I'll put them in the garbage can and then I'm knowing that my city is just going to dump them in the same place. Oh, yeah. The only actual use for recycling is the extra garbage can. You have more capacity. Yes. That's the only thing. Yes. Yes. And they're usually big. Like the big green garbage can. You can fit a lot of non-recyclables in. Right. That's how I use it. It's great. And so we appreciate the environmentalist for that. Anyway, they, um, they, uh, they, uh, They're now saying that toilet paper may be a shortage because of the Suez Canal. And I'm wondering, are those little teeny tugboats that they're using, are those really, is that the best we can do? I mean, as a planet, is that, has anybody thought of just taking a big old battleship?
Starting point is 00:06:08 You know, one that we don't even care about, make it like a demolition derby. And they're like, I'm going to take the battleship, but I'm just going to ram that thing until it comes. unlatched. I mean, is this really the best we can do? Have you seen the little toot out there? Like, I can do it. I can do it. Can we get bigger boats? It doesn't seem that intimidating. It doesn't. You need a little. But I mean, I don't think destroying the boat in the middle of the canal would work very well. Really? Because that's the way, I mean, you know the history of the Suez Canal. I have zero life. Zero life. And something tells me you're about to confirm that. I am. I am. The Suez Canal is a fascinating story about how it came.
Starting point is 00:06:49 It actually started because a kid was really, really fat. And his dad wanted him to lose weight and he hired a French guy to help him. That's honest to God. This is how the Suez Canal started. His dad looking at his son, he's like, you are going to die from an early death. This is in the 1800s, okay? When everybody, when fat was beautiful, so you can imagine. Imagine how fat this kid had to be.
Starting point is 00:07:19 And he's like, you're going to die from, you're too fat, you're too fat. You'll never amount to anything if you're that fat. And he couldn't get his son to stop eating. So he hires a French guy. Now, why would you hire a French guy to do it? The only reason why this French guy happened to be in town was because Napoleon was in town. It was Egypt. And so this French guy is like, oh,
Starting point is 00:07:45 I can help your son lose away. And he gets to know the fat kid, and he likes the fat kid. And he's like, look, don't tell your dad. But I got a little pasta for you, huh? And so he starts feeding him macaroni. He smuggles in macaroni for the fat kid. And the fat kid's like, I love macaroni. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:08:07 The French are the greatest. And dad just thinks, my son, look, I am doing everything. everything I can. And the dad is saying, well, my son's not losing any weight. Don't look at me. So this goes on for a while. And then there's all kinds of wars and blah, blah, blah, blah. And, you know, millions die.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Sure. Blah, blah, blah. And things change. And dad dies. And the fact is like, finally, finally my dad's dead. and he becomes king. He's now the ruler of Egypt. And with all of these things that are changing,
Starting point is 00:08:52 the Crimea war and everything else, the planet is changing because everybody was getting all of their goods and services either over land, and the Ottoman Empire was really in trouble at the time. So those trade routes were being lost, or you go down south around. Africa, which took too long.
Starting point is 00:09:14 So that's when the French guy, who was strangely not a dietitian, I don't know what exactly he did. I think he was like an engineer. I mean, he was a guy who wanted to build the Suez Canal for a long time. And he says, look, I smuggled the macaroni to you. Well, when your papa was saying, hey, Venni Vetso, stop eating so much. It was me with the macaroni. and so the fat kids like okay we'll build i mean i'm this is the gist of it you'd have to this isn't a historical
Starting point is 00:09:49 quote this is not exactly the historical quote but we don't know i wasn't there and neither was a historian they didn't have tape decks back then so he's like i gotta do it because i want more macaroni and so he builds the he starts to build the canal uh the problem is is it takes so many people. There's not enough slaves. And he is telling everybody that you have to, you have to build the canal and you're a slave. And so, you know, you're a peasant. So you work for me. You're a slave. And now go build the canal. Well, at the time this is happening, something else in the world is happening. Now, this is the part where you can look at everyone who says, the United States never did anything.
Starting point is 00:10:38 The United States is just a horrible place. We are just, you know what we are? We're all about slavery. That's all this country has ever done. Okay. Suez Canal. 60,000 people are slaves building this canal. Something interesting happens.
Starting point is 00:10:57 It's called the Emancipation Proclamation. Oh, crap. Now I don't have slaves. I'm not going to get any back around. Because, in Egypt, the Emancipation Proclamation, as it did all around the world, shook the world. And so the 60,000 slaves that were digging the Suez Canal also were freed. In fact, the 20 million slaves in, they were called serfs in Russia, they were also freed because of the Emancipation Proclamation at the time.
Starting point is 00:11:36 but I digress back to the fat kid with macaroni so they build the uh they build the the canal and all kinds of stuff is happening uh all around the world at this time uh there we are building all kinds of stuff i mean it's in the 1860s and so you're you're looking at um uh you're looking at the the building of some of the the greatest things in the world, the greatest construction. We're building canals. We're building tunnels. We're building bridges. Everything around the world. Suez Canal is dug and now it has to be opened. And they have the big opening ceremony and a guy comes and he's like, I've got the night maybe for the opening, I unveil a big statue for you. And put,
Starting point is 00:12:36 it, uh, put it right here at the opening of the canal. It's going to be based on the colossus of road, roads. And, uh, the, like, I, I like macaroni. So they don't build the statue. Instead, they build the statue, a 35 foot tall statue of the guy who snuck the fat kid macaroni. And that was sitting at the opening of the Suez Canal until, until the, uh, Egyptians, uh, took it from the British in, what, 18 or 1950s, and they blew up that statue.
Starting point is 00:13:13 But that guy was Bertoli. That guy was rejected for that statue, and he went on to build the Statue of Liberty. It was originally made for the opening of the Suez Canal. Now, the reason why I'm stopping here is because that was unveiled on the opening of the Suez Canal, the small little statue of the macaroni guy. And that says official name or this is if, if history were taught like this, every kid would know history. They would know the macaroni guy.
Starting point is 00:13:47 They would know the macaroni guy. They'd get the gist of the story. And so then all of the kings and queens and everybody from all over the world, they're on a barge and they're all going to go down the Suez Canal. And what happens? A boat gets stuck right before the opening. A boat gets lodged sideways, exactly like what's happening right now. And so what did they do?
Starting point is 00:14:13 They blew it up. I'm just saying, little toot ain't going to get the job done. Blow it up. And that is the story of the Suez Canal. Yeah, kind of. All right. Let me tell you about timeshare termination. If somewhere along the line you found yourself the less and proud owner of a timeshare,
Starting point is 00:14:41 I'm betting that you have regretted it since five minutes after signing the dotted line. You probably haven't used it much. Probably didn't use it at all in the past year during COVID. And even if you could, did you get to go to the places that you were really promised? Pretty unlikely, I'm afraid. But are you still paying the maintenance fee? We all know that timeshares are mostly just scams, not all of them. but mostly just scams.
Starting point is 00:15:07 Sometimes we get pulled into them anyway because we think it's going to be a good deal. And now, I mean, can you even afford it? There is a legal way to get out of timeshares, but you need to start the process of getting out and ending the madness. This is not an overnight thing. Don't put it off another day. Time share termination team.
Starting point is 00:15:27 8.8 get you out. 888 get you out is the phone number. The reason why I want you to call them is because they have a 100 100% money back exit guarantee. Time share termination team. Get the process started today and you'll get 20% off when you terminate your time share today. Just make sure that you tell them I sent you. If you use my name, you're going to get a 20% discount.
Starting point is 00:15:50 It's 8.8 get you out. Remember, it is 100% money back guarantee. You've been scammed enough. 888, 438, 8688, or go to timesharetermination team.com. That's timeshare termination team.com. 10 seconds station ID. Oh, so I don't know if you saw this, Stu, but the White House is now talking about a tax for every mile that you drive. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Pete Buttigieg bringing that in. Yeah, that's good stuff. Yeah. That's good stuff. That's because remember long ago they said, well, you need electric cars. Yeah. You need an electric car because, you know, that's good for the information. environment and think you're not going to have to pay for all that gas and you don't have to
Starting point is 00:16:49 pay any of those gas taxes. That'll be great. Yeah. And then when the gas tax money started to go away, they said, well, we can't use a gas tax anymore because no one's paying the gas tax. Yeah, because we have electric cars. Electric cars and I pay the gas tax anymore. So now we just need to charge you a dollar per mile, which I think is a dollar per mile. I think it, no, I listen to me. I think that's not that high. Is it? Uh, it would be shocked, but it can't possibly be how much it is. Gas tax anyway, blah, blah, blah. A dollar a mile, no.
Starting point is 00:17:19 It can't be. I swear I read that. Now I can't find it in this article. I swear I read that this weekend. It can't be. Because that would be crazy. But then again, it's the joke. You know, here's why it didn't even,
Starting point is 00:17:33 until you said that, I'm like, yeah, a dollar per mile. Yeah, it just seems like, yeah, okay. That could have possibly. Okay, so they're thinking about taxing people, which I think goes right in line, seriously. goes right in line with the no one under $400,000 is going to pay a diamond extra taxes. Don't you think? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Because I don't think there's any, as far as I know, only people who make over $400,000 drive cars. Yeah. So all those other people don't have to pay that tax. And so the good thing is if you live in New York City, you won't have to worry about it, you know, because you really probably don't drive, which is great. You'll pay a little more for taxis, but aren't you willing to, you won't even. notice that. You know, a little more for Uber, you know, but will you notice that? So all you have to do is live in one of these great, great cities with, you know, some sort
Starting point is 00:18:25 of a subway or something, which our country is riddled with those, with those cities. Just, you can't, I can't fall down and not be able to touch two different subway systems or a light rail system that is so convenient for me to you. How about you, Stu? I mean, they're just fantastic. Oh, I'm a huge fan of the light rail. And the good thing about them is their consistency, which is every time they're created, they destroy the economy around it.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Right? Yeah, and they just, and I shouldn't say they destroy the economy around it. They just take everyone's money and then it gets poured into the light rail system instead of other valuable things. And like the light rail system that comes right here just a few blocks away from our studio. Oh, it's nice. It's really nice. And the reason why it's so nice, it's been there for decades, really.
Starting point is 00:19:17 And no one ever rides it. So it's like a ghost train. Yeah. It just rides in the middle of the night. It rides early in the morning and no one is on it. And I just think it's, I think it's the way it should be. We're saving it for when people really want to ride it, you know? I like that because it's first of all, it's very spacious.
Starting point is 00:19:41 he always have the space because no one is on it the Dallas almost literal the Dallas one is an insane story in 1984 it came in the tax came in it was supposed to pay for 147 miles of light rail but that plan was too
Starting point is 00:19:57 expensive so it was scaled back to 90 even though the tax stayed the same obviously of course it did only makes sense 8.2 billion dollars was what it cost and I you know I've used it approximately zero times. Glenn, how many times have used? I've lived here. I've lived here now for what? 10 years. We lived here for 10 years? Yeah. I've used it. Never. Never. And Sarah, have you ever used the light rail
Starting point is 00:20:22 system here? No. She says no. In fact, that's... I don't know anyone. Because it goes from like nowhere to other places also where nothing happens. And it's one of those things where like, I think one of the stops is at the American Airlines Center, like where the Dallas Mavericks play, for example. However, it like doesn't run late enough for some of the games. So why would you? Right. Why would you?
Starting point is 00:20:46 The one time I wanted to take the light rail system, I was with my son. We went to a Mavs game. And the game ran, I guess, a little bit late. So they just stopped running the trains. So then I was just down in the center of Dallas with my kid at 1130 at night, which was fantastic. Of course, no Ubers, no cabs, nothing around at that point. So this story ends with him being stabbed to death.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Yeah, probably. By the way, we. are we have something in common with our fellow people here in Dallas. 92% of people in Dallas have never used the light rail system that they caused all these billions of dollars. Yeah, but those 8% I mean, that's that's good stuff. I mean, it just never goes anywhere and you have to drive to it. Right.
Starting point is 00:21:27 It's so bad. I mean, it's just, it's just ridiculous. It's not New York City. They added an extra train line. And they had a goal of how many, you know, miles they were going to use. after they made the goal, they added an extra train line, and they got an extra two years, and they still miss the goal by over 40%.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Because no one rides it. No one rides it. And it's an incredible thing where you see this thing floating around empty all the time, just going back and forth from, it's like, it's like Sim City. You'd put that old game, you just put the stupid train in there
Starting point is 00:22:05 or just ride back and forth and no one will ever be on it. You know, here's the amazing thing. I've lived in so many cities because I'm on the run. I'm on the lamb. And I've lived in so many cities all across the country. And every time, every time I go to a city, it's like, we should have a light rail. And I'm like, don't do it.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Don't do it. Every city I've lived in has done it. And it's a waste of money. They never finish it. And then you've got some politician going, hey, well, at least we got light rail. It's great. If we could just get an extension to it, then it would really open up. Don't do it, America.
Starting point is 00:22:37 In the meantime, A mileage tax coming your way. Hey, do you have a combustion engine? Well, you're already evil. But on top of it, that combustion engine probably has some silicon chips in it, which are not evil. They come from a beautiful valley. Anyway, those silicon chips are expensive. And so when you, when your combustion engine goes wrong, it's probably,
Starting point is 00:23:16 not the engine that you could run to pet boys and get something and fix. No, no, no. It's probably that cheap piece of plastic. That thing, oh, that'll sit. Well, you need a new chip. It's going to set you back six grand. Really? The car was 20.
Starting point is 00:23:32 That one chip was six grand out of all of the money I paid. Really? Yeah. Uh-huh. Well, you don't have to worry about it now. If you have car shield, your car breaks down. They're going to send somebody for you. You've got a rental car.
Starting point is 00:23:45 They're going to pay for the covered repair. You don't have to front the money. It's great. It's carshield.com. Use the promo code back and save 10%. It's carshield.com promo code back. In Dallas here, every time someone decides to ride the train, we have to pay them $4.21.
Starting point is 00:24:05 So just use a little bit of that cash and go to blaishtiv.com. So that promo code is control. This is the Glenn Beck program with some good news. they just colon blowed that thing out of the canal. So it is free. Yay! It's free. Nine billion
Starting point is 00:24:27 dollars a day in trade were blocked by that. And all they needed to do, Egypt needed a little bit of fiber and they won't get blocked like that ever again. And I think that's a good thing. Yeah. It's good. Yeah. It's good. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:43 So we're here with Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed. And welcome to the program, Pat. Thank you. Good to be here, Glenn. So I was at church yesterday, and I'm about to lose my mind on the whole mask thing. Yeah. I talk about this almost every week after church because I am coming out of my skin for that hour.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Yeah. Because I hate the mask. It's so hot. Yeah, it's so hot. It's so hot. Then you start singing in it. Well, I'm not going to. With the mask, I'm not singing.
Starting point is 00:25:15 First of all, we're every other pew. So we're already, we're a million miles away from everybody. The six foot thing was arbitrary. It's three feet for the, for the WHO. Why aren't we going with WHO standards? I thought they were so great. Anyway, so we're sitting there and we're singing. And then people started coming up.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Did you get the vaccine yet? Have you had the vaccine? No. Oh, you're going to get the vaccine. No. You're not going to get the vaccine. No, I've already. had COVID. I had COVID. My whole family had
Starting point is 00:25:47 COVID. We were, for a long time. We were sick. We had COVID. I got it. So you're not going to get the vaccine. No, I'm not going to get the vaccine. Why don't your kids going to get it? My kids aren't going to get the vaccine. Well, so you're not, you don't want, you don't your family to get the vaccine? No, it's not that I don't want my family to get the vaccine. We already
Starting point is 00:26:06 had COVID. Don't need it. We don't need it. You know, if I wanted to get it, maybe I would. I don't recommend to my kids that. they get it because it's generally good with kids. I mean my kids don't need it. It's not that big of a deal. So when are you going to get it?
Starting point is 00:26:28 And nothing has changed here in Texas. Nothing has changed. Yeah, Pat and I were just talking about this. Because they did this big, remember Joe Biden did this Neanderthal thinking speech. Yeah. Where he was saying that Texas opening up to 100 percent was going to cause the crash of all humanity. They're going to be piles of dead bodies on every street.
Starting point is 00:26:49 And I will tell you that we still club women here in Texas and then just drag them by their hair and the game. Obviously, everybody knows that. Of course. So that's with or without a mask. Yes. So. Yeah. That was way before COVID.
Starting point is 00:27:02 I mean, we've been doing that since 1836. And now we've had 18 consecutive days of downward motion in our numbers here in Texas. In hospitalizations, in infections. in infections, in death, and all of it. It's all going down. The opposite happening in Michigan right now, where the numbers are going up considerably,
Starting point is 00:27:22 where they have not been open 100%. And it's funny because there's two ways this is gone. One is the Neanderthal thinking, Gavin Newsom say this is reckless behavior and all this nonsense, everyone thinking that it was going to blow up and, you know, all of us in Texas sort of yawning and rolling our eyes.
Starting point is 00:27:39 And on the other hand... Nothing has really changed. No. I mean, you can have more people in a restaurant. That's about it. That's the other side. I see a lot of people using this as like, well, this proves lockdowns don't work. Not really.
Starting point is 00:27:49 We didn't have lockdowns before this and we don't have them now. It really doesn't seem any different than it was before we made the speech. People do what they think is the right thing to do. They do. So, you know, the Texans are not all walking around just like, I've got a French kiss everybody I see today. It's not happening. It's not happening. they're still wearing masks.
Starting point is 00:28:11 And then I'm going to shoot him with my six gun. That's not what happens here. Well, once in a while. Yeah, once in a while. The shooting with a six gun, but only those who deserve it. Right. Hey, by the way, speaking of guns, did you hear about Hunter Biden's gun? You know the...
Starting point is 00:28:27 Yeah. Why do you say it that way? Yeah, well, with an accusatory kind of... Because, like, what do you think we're stupid? Is that... Well, I don't think there's a lot of people... Ill-informed? I don't think there's a lot of people...
Starting point is 00:28:40 lot of people in the audience that do know this. Okay. Now I don't want to share it. Wow. I feel judged. No. This is an unsafe environment. This is an unsafe environment.
Starting point is 00:28:52 I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable. I feel and it's my feelings that really matter. Even though my apology won't matter. So you're right. You're right. So while the president is pushing gun control, I would just like to stop at the little Hunter Biden's. story that we apparently talked about a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:29:15 And I'm going to pretend that I don't remember it. Really? Yeah. Why would you pretend that you don't remember talking about it? You'd like to take credit for every prediction that you've made. Well, I'm going to pretend. I read a story and they were like, the only people that were talking about this was Glenn Beck and the blaze and all the research they did during the impeachment. And they were the only ones at the time.
Starting point is 00:29:34 And I'm like, damn right. You didn't remember the. Oh, of course. Of course you did. Anyway. The story begins in 2018 with Hallie Biden. Now, Hallie. Haley.
Starting point is 00:29:48 I think. Why don't you tell the story? Did Haley? Why don't you just tell the story? Well, no. It's your story. I'm just helping with it. Well, you remember the story from when you initially talked about it so often.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Right. It was you the broke the story. And by the way, did you hear my macaroni story on the Suez Canal a few minutes ago? Don't correct my stories. Right. Okay. They are airtight. So Hallie Biden.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Yeah. With Bo Biden, you want to correct me there? No. Okay. So Bo is, Bo's dead and Hallie, the widow, starts, you know, with Hunter, and she's going through Hunter's truck due to a, quote, suspicion she had. Hmm. Now we don't know what that suspicion she had was. But then she found a 38 revolver and it belonged to him.
Starting point is 00:30:48 And apparently it just ended up in a trash can behind a grocery store across the street from a school. It happens. It happens. Guns go off by themselves. Sometimes they're like, I am so sick of being, I am not going to be treated this way and under a seat in a truck. I am worth more than that. I want to be in that trash can across the street from the school behind the grocery store. And so it went off.
Starting point is 00:31:14 Now, the police are saying that that kind of thing doesn't happen. So she returned to the store later to recover the gun as Hunter had directed her to do, but it couldn't be found. She told the grocery store about the missing gun. Could you imagine that conversation? Hey, did you guys find a gun in your trash cans by any chance? Can you imagine having that conversation? No, I've never. If somebody walks into the store and is like, if somebody came to me and said, hey, here at the studios, you know your dumpster in the back?
Starting point is 00:31:56 Did you guys happen to find, you know, like some weapons in there? I would immediately call the police, right? You'd be like, uh-huh. Yeah, you know what? We did. Why don't you wait here for about 10 minutes? So she went to talk about the missing gun, and this is where things got weirder. The missing gun is particularly worrisome because the school is right across the street.
Starting point is 00:32:25 They were afraid that it would be used, you know, used in a crime. While police were questioning Hunter. He also appeared to racially profile two Mexican grocery store employees telling officers they were probably illegals. So when the cops go to talk to Hunter about the gun that was in the, he immediately throws them under the bus. Oh, okay. All right. Then the police and the FBI go in and the FBI tell the police, the FBI, tell the FBI, tell. the police, you know what, we got a federal investigation going on. And so two secret service
Starting point is 00:33:08 agents with badges and identification cards reportedly pay a visit to the gun store where Hunter bought the firearm earlier that month and told the owner to turn over the firearm transaction record from the purchase. Now, why would you do that? Oh, we want no record of that. We'd like you to give us all the records on that. Well, the store owner was like, I don't think you actually want this for an investigation. I'm guessing you want to make all this stuff disappear. So the store owner held on to the paperwork until the ATF came in and they reviewed the forms and the Secret Service said, oh, no, we didn't send anybody out. We don't know what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:34:01 We didn't send anybody out. And also appears that Hunter may have lied on his federal background check. No, did. I don't think there's any way. No, no, no, he may have lied. How is they may have lied? He said, it's a little fuzzy on those federal forums. When they ask you about, you know, previous incidents with drugs and you say no.
Starting point is 00:34:22 And when blatantly you're on record. Yeah. Convictions and stuff. When you were doing Coke in a Hertz rental car that you turned back with Coke lines still on the dashboard. Clear. It's unclear. You could easily. It's like,
Starting point is 00:34:37 Are you an illegal alien? No, I'm not from space. Why would you call me an illegal alien? And since when do we ban people from space coming? And can it be abuse when it's so much fun? No. You know, I think it's too. Abuse drugs?
Starting point is 00:34:54 No. Damn it, they abused me for years. So now, he answered no to a question. in the firearms transaction record asking if he was an unlawful user or addicted to marijuana, any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance.
Starting point is 00:35:17 And his answer was no. His answer was no. That's a felony. But don't worry, kids. He's part of the elite. He's not going to pay any price for that, I'm sure. But I just love that this is coming out now. as daddy is saying we have to tighten the restrictions and ban certain guns
Starting point is 00:35:40 ban certain guns yeah but I just like we we have to really tighten the the background checks because as his own son has just proven people lie all the time people lie all the time. If you if you want a drug, let's say you're a drug abuser and you want a gun, you're going to go find one and you'll buy it not necessarily from the gun store because you're already buying drugs from a drug dealer. It's not like, I've got my lines. My favorite one was this boulder shooting, you know, one of the first narratives after they were like, oh, it's got to be a white guy. Once that went away, they were like, well, did you know that 10 days before this shooting,
Starting point is 00:36:29 they banned, the judge overturned an AR-15 ban in Boulder. And 10 days before that, and this guy bought the AR-15 like six days before that. Do you believe this? Well, he bought it in another town where they didn't have an AR-15 ban. That is why.
Starting point is 00:36:47 That is why. We must have it federal. No, that's why we must have it federally. I think it needs to be global. Because, you know, we need to be global. We need to keep these borders open. We can't have, we can't come up with the disconnect as to why we're fine with open borders,
Starting point is 00:37:01 but we need gun laws all over here because obviously they could just bring the guns across the border. Well, it's not like you have nefarious people like drug cartels. Right, right on the border that are actively making money. Right. Doing things. Human trafficking, drugs, guns. That's none of that happening. No.
Starting point is 00:37:21 No. So just good people. Good people. Good people. Good people. Bringing people to a better life. By the way, if you didn't hear Ted Cruz and his little run-in at the border, we'll play it for you. Next.
Starting point is 00:37:40 So we've been talking about rough greens now for over a year. It's a supplement you sprinkle on your dog's food that contains all kinds of vitamins and minerals and probiotics, antioxidants, all the stuff that you're going to give to your dog. And it will help him build a happier, healthier life. told you about my dog, Uno, and how much eating rough greens has changed his life. This is not a dog food. This is a supplement you put on the food, and they love it. Now, you don't want to buy a whole bag of this stuff if your dog's not going to love it. You put it on and you're like, no, he doesn't like it.
Starting point is 00:38:15 So all you have to do is call rough greens or go to their website, RUFFGreens.com slashback, and they're going to send you a free bag of rough greens. for your dog just to try out. If your dog likes it, then order a bag of rough greens. You will see a difference in your dog. Warning, our dogs don't really like to eat their food now if it doesn't have rough greens.

George Floyd's murder trial is happening beginning today. Yay! It's going to be so exciting. All kinds of good things are going to come out of this.
Starting point is 00:39:21 So we have that. We're going to cover for you. Also, more on the border. We have a local sheriff who wrote an open letter that is really good. We're going to talk to him coming up in just a second. I'll share the letter with you as well. But let me go back to the border with Ted Cruz over the weekend. He went into one of the border facilities and the Democrats took some photos and released them.
Starting point is 00:39:47 And it's a horror show down there. Here's what happened when Ted Cruz was walking through on his tour. Listen. Please respect. Please give dignity to the people. Please give dignity to the people. So you work for the commissioner. your senior advisor, you were hired two weeks ago,
Starting point is 00:40:01 and you're instructed to ask us to not have any pictures taken here. Please respect the people, the rules. Because the political leadership at DHS does not want the American people to know it. Please respect the rules, sir. You keep standing in front of the pictures, so you don't want the pictures taken. The rules are arbitrary and they're designed to keep the American people in the dark. That's all we ask.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Well, no, it's not. You're asking, is this dignity and respect? Please give dignity and respect to the people? Let me ask you. There's a pandemic. I respectfully ask you, sir. There is a pandemic. With full-hearted.
Starting point is 00:40:29 Are you respecting the rights of these kids? Are you respecting the rights of these kids? This is not as you, sir. Please don't treat the people. You're right, and this is a dangerous place. Please don't treat the people like this. That's all I ask for you, sir. I understand you were instructed when 18 senators came down here.
Starting point is 00:40:45 I respect the people, give them dignity and respect. I respect and I want to fix this situation. We all want to fix this, sir. We don't want this to happen anymore. How dare you not know what she's trying to say? Give these people dignity and respect as we mistreat them and, treat them and put them in like an Arby's warming ovens. It's the Glenn Back program.

Nothing ever changes on the border. I mean, it's changed one time in my lifetime. One time, and that was with Donald Trump. He was serious about it. He did the things that he had to do to keep us safe and to keep our borders secure. This problem, however, when we have Republicans and Democrats going up, nobody ever seems interested in actual solutions
Starting point is 00:44:21 here because it's too valuable as a political football. Democrats, Republicans, neither side wants the game to end because and we're going to take their ball away and they have nothing to play. Meanwhile, law enforcement officers, the people who are actually down at the border, those who are police officers, border patrol, or
Starting point is 00:44:43 sheriffs, those who work along our border are left to deal with a messy reality and so are the citizens on that border. I'm going to introduce you to a sheriff who has some who wrote a letter that you need to hear.
Starting point is 00:45:01 I'm going to give you excerpts of it that you really need to hear because he describes a country in deep, deep trouble that is ignoring some really bad signs. We are enabling very bad people to hurt us and our country. We begin there in 60 seconds. That's really this,
Starting point is 00:45:32 the next interview is really not for you if you're, you know, still wanting to play the game. Cindy lives in Texas. Many years she suffered intense pain in her neck and shoulders in her back. She tried a lot of things to try to get to feel better, but nothing really worked. Or if it did, it was the kind of thing that made her feel like not herself. That's one thing that Cindy didn't want. She heard about relief factor. She was skeptical at first.
Starting point is 00:45:55 It's just hard to rush in and try something new when you've been burned plenty of times before. Believe me, Cindy, I understand that point of view. But in the end, she decided to at least give it a try. She ordered a three-week quick start. This is what I recommend you do. I love this from the company because they openly admit about 70% of the people go on to order more because it works for them. So just try it because they found it's about three weeks you learn whether or not it's going to work. And they don't want to, you know, gouge you for something and trap you into something that it's not working for you.
Starting point is 00:46:32 So just try it for three weeks. At the end of three weeks, if you don't feel like I did or feel like Cindy did, stop taking it. But if you feel like Cindy did and I do, order more. It's Relief Factor. Go to Relieffactor.com or call 800,500,8384. 800, 500, 8384. Get your life back like Cindy did. Relieffactor.com. Recently, an Arizona sheriff named Mark Dannels shared an urgent letter on Facebook, and I would love for you to read the whole letter, but I want to share just a couple of excerpts from it.
Starting point is 00:47:14 He writes, The current conditions on the border are impacting public safety in our communities and by any reasonable measure constitute a humanitarian crisis. We remain immersed in politics rather than solutions. In Cochise County, Arizona, they have a sophisticated camera system along the migrant routes across the border. These cameras detect significantly more traffic than our federal partners report capturing. In fact, our estimates are that only 28% of the people crossing illegally are taken into custody. Now, I want you to think about the numbers that we have. think about the numbers that have crossed already. If that's only 30%,
Starting point is 00:48:06 the numbers are staggering. And where are these people? TCOs, transnational criminal organizations, are exploiting the migrant crisis to ensure the redirection of law enforcement resources away from the interdiction of illegal drugs into this country. They know that, Migrant traffic, especially children, overwhelms resources and essentially gives them the
Starting point is 00:48:34 unfettered ability to traffic drugs into the U.S. Make no mistake, this is a deliberate tactic. On top of a public safety and humanitarian crisis, we may now add a public health crisis. There should be an outcry from those persons who have expressed concern about the COVID pandemic. Arizona's border sheriffs are not interested in the politics of the current crisis or perceived political ideological victories. We need policies from Washington, D.C. that discourage rather than incentivize undocumented in immigration. The time for politics and partisanship has passed.
Starting point is 00:49:15 Sheriff Danyl's is exactly right. The COVID situation alone should be enough to seal the border, especially for those who are panicked over the COVID-cris. crisis. Right now we have in the center of Dallas, Texas, we have a convention center that is filled with illegal aliens who have not been tested and can come and go apparently as they please. Due to Mexico's extremely low rate of testing, we have no idea how bad it is. The death toll, however, in Mexico is probably around 300,000. Just last Friday, Argentina suspended flights from Mexico.
Starting point is 00:50:06 All of our schools are closed. Yet migrants and minors are flooding over the border and we're housing them. And we are not giving money to the cities, especially down on the border. On President Biden's first day in office, he signed a, in executive order halting construction of the border wall. Now Sheriff Danels is here to point out that the unfinished portions of the border have simply provided infrastructure, mainly roads, for the drug cartels. It is, according to a study, it is now a multi-billion dollar business for these cartels,
Starting point is 00:50:50 human trafficking. The same report finds that in order to pass through the territories of drug traffickers, migrants have to pay drug taxes or cartel taxes as much as $180 million a year. What are we doing? Our elected leaders refuse to come back to common sense. Some issues must be apolitical, and this is one of them. And if they won't make it apolitical, we must insist. that they do.
Starting point is 00:51:28 And we must insist not to play politics on the border. Just talk about the real facts. Sheriff Danels is here with us now. Sheriff, how are you, sir? Good, Glenn. The letter says it all. It really does. It is very, very clear.
Starting point is 00:51:45 Tell me what is happening in Cochise County. Well, to understand where we're at today, it's best to understand where we came from. And you hit it in your intro with me. is the fact that President Trump, I've worked his border for 37 years, President Trump was the first president to actually emphasize and do everything he can within his power to secure our border. Right.
Starting point is 00:52:08 It's not immigration, two different programs, border security. And we were very close with them, shirles, police, chiefs, mayors, governors, DHS, TVP all the way through in his administration. When president, and we've come so far, we truly have, the best has been, the ranchers tell me, Everybody asks, well, how do you know it's the best it's been? First of all, our stats show us that. Second of all, the people live on the rural border down here, the ranchers, the farmers, the citizens say, this is the best, it's been in three decades.
Starting point is 00:52:37 So that's the best measure of a test. So we come to current time when President Biden signed the executive order day one, which obviously was politically driven, ideology driven. When he did that the first day, it sent a message to the cartels and those vulnerable people, people that hey and hey we're coming across we're opening up the border and he stopped the construction on the border which stopped subterrano technology revenue resources and the physical barrier my three checkpoints are shut down in my county i got a border patrol station shut down in my county for respond to help my deputies i got my airstat shut down and i just learned friday they removed me from the home-amp security council oh my gosh because of the letter effort that and and
Starting point is 00:53:27 They were wise the way they did. They removed the majority of every member on the Homeland Security Council, which was formed after 9-11 to help advise DHS for communities and for this country. So all but three people were left on the advisory council, the chair, vice chair, a past chair. The rest of the last of us got letters unannounced. And it starts off like this, Glenn says, I'm honored to address you in the first paragraph, second paragraph, or moose us.
Starting point is 00:53:55 What a kick. but it's a first time in history that a president of the country. So wait, wait, wait, wait. So this is because I am concerned about the humanitarian crisis, but I am equally concerned. I'm not blinded by that, by what the drug cartels are doing, but also the, you know, other than Mexicans, the Iranians, the Syrians, the fact that the drug cartels will smuggle guns, and drugs and terrorists into this country. Nobody's talking about those things.
Starting point is 00:54:50 So tell me this was developed after 9-11. What could their reason be for flipping everybody on that board? It comes to my mind, Glenn, is politics, political ideologies. They want to have their own. They want the avoidance of this. And having people on that advisory council that speak very loud, their business, their consultants, their federal judges, all the people that have come through, that sheriff's police chiefs that had been now removed on that, it just silences that voice.
Starting point is 00:55:26 Once again, and one thing I've seen since this has happened is the lack of transparency, the lack to share any kind of plans, in fact, in the letter it talks about we're going to develop a plan. Well, don't you think any logic on this would, you'd have a plan in place before you get rid of your current members who have served honorably have served. I worked on the sub-the-technology committee. I've worked on youth violence. I worked on faith violence. I mean, spent a lot of time to help our communities and with us, again, stroke of the pin, we're gone, we're gone. So again, it silences everything. There's, there is no transparency with this. And I've spoke to DHS at Senior Leadership Association.
Starting point is 00:56:07 We're past due on. Okay. Mark, will you hold on for a second? We're talking to the sheriff of Cochise County, Arizona. I want to talk to you specifically about when Biden just stopped the building of the border wall in your county, that was really, really bad. And I want to explain why in 60 seconds. If you're thinking about getting out of that big city you've been living in, oh, I mean, it's going to be beautiful, you know, especially coming this fall with the fire and the brimstone. Oh, it's going to be great. So anyway, some cities, some states have turned into small little dictatorships and people have been moving away from the bigger cities in droves. If you're one of them or if you're moving for any other reason, please reach out to real estate agents.

Starting point is 00:58:03 I'm just, you know, Sheriff, I'm just looking at your, uh, your resume. Uh, you are, uh, really, really, uh, your background is, is right. Exactly what we need, especially in a, in a place like Coach East County. I, I, I'm stunned now that, uh, they're, they're not listening to you. tell me what the border wall was doing and why it was so bad to stop it on day one. What is that done? And then the message to the cartel that we have an open border. And that's literally the message that's been sent.
Starting point is 00:58:43 We hear that from those coming across illegally because the opportunity is now. And truly, they're coming across to that reason. In my county, when they stopped, Trump was the first president after three decades, push beyond garden, our physical barrier, and what it is today. President Trump pushed beyond that. First president in 30 years, or 30 years to do that, and they're putting the bridges that just down the ground, stopping, and then walking away from the project, what worries us in a couple months when our monsoon season, our wet season hits here in my county, we're in order shape now, though we worry when we start. And you said that there's, you said that
Starting point is 01:00:09 there is infrastructure that they, the drug cartels are using, the roads, et cetera, that were made for the construction. Is that in your county? You are correct. And what they did was up on the back, very frequent smuggling area for the cartels because it's been concealed up there behind the mountains. They blasted roads took them off six months to a year
Starting point is 01:00:31 to put the infrastructure in behind the mounds back into the equipment and the trenching up there to put the fence in. We got a chance to put most national parks. We're reasonable. So nobody is talking. We are all talking about these kids in cages. and the humanitarian crisis, what is left behind are these small communities
Starting point is 01:01:17 that are right there on the borders, that are getting dumped. All of these people are coming in. You know, it's a crisis because the federal government doesn't have space for them. Well, the ones that they really don't have space for, they're just putting on buses and they're just sending to cities all across the country.
Starting point is 01:01:33 And the border towns are the first ones to get hit hard. And there's no help from, the federal government? There's not. You're looking back in 2019, Glenn, where the caravans and surges that President Trump took on and addressed. In the first nine months, we had 141 countries hit our southwest border. And I've got to say this.
Starting point is 01:01:54 I know the focus is on the children. In the first nine months, we had 3,500 children that were being exploited by the cartels. And what that means, they were coming across with an adult expedited into the country because they had a child with them. Then the children were brought back to Mexico and recently. cycle back in the U.S. just to get people in the U.S. This cartel has its thumb and hand on everything going on in the southwest border. In my county, it's $6,000 ahead to come across our country, into our country, excuse me,
Starting point is 01:02:21 and then they become servant to the cartels, whether it be sex, grave, drug, gangs, enforcer, whatever it may be. And unfortunately, the national media is painting a picture of these poor kids. And I agree. I agree. In 2014, when the cages first came alive, that was that gender in President Obama. Obama. And again, we've evolved. And I do like your point that it seems like nobody can fix this problem. We have the most powerful leader in the country. That's our presidents. But we fight it,
Starting point is 01:02:49 including President Trump, will put a lot of effort on this border. I've gone through a lot of presidents in my 37 years. I'm telling you it's left out of the U.S. when it kind of rights around the southwest border. What can the American people do to help you? They need to stand up and be united because why were the attention of the national media, exclusively when I come to the children. What's happening is everything going to in the southwest border, whether it's drugs, whether it's national security issue, whether it's a health pandemic issue, COVID, whatever it may be.
Starting point is 01:03:23 It's coming to your neighborhood. They're not staying in my communities until they can find the means or the non-government organizations can get them out of you. You can hold in my county right now, Glenn, until travel who's coming in the country. Since Mexico will not in Mexico. In my county, the state of Sonora, is still allowing that. April 21st, that's supposed to expire.
Starting point is 01:04:17 If that opens up, our southwest border will be flooded, not just in Texas, but flooded. Mark, we will stay in touch with you. I'd like to talk to you some off the air. So thank you for everything that you're doing, but we'll be in touch. We're not done with the coverage, and I appreciate your letter, and I appreciate your willingness to speak out. stay safe and don't give up on the rest of America yet. I know you're not going to. I'm not going to. I have hope of my old.
Starting point is 01:04:50 Thank you. Thank you. Mark Dannels. Time's running out for you to get free premier activation with Patriot Mobile. So you need to hurry up and make the switch. I don't know which mobile service that you are with, but a lot of these big mobile companies, I would make the bet that they are helping fund some of these crazy things and pushing us further and further into a great reset, a country that you don't recognize.
Starting point is 01:05:26 They are funding Planned Parenthood. They're funding anti-Second Amendment stuff. You've got to switch and be with a company that believes in the same things that you do. If everyone within the sound of my voice right now made the switch, you would send a real message to these companies. And the problem is nobody's sending the message. The left is sending the message. You go this way and we protect you and you're great.
Starting point is 01:05:52 But nobody is saying, hey, I've got a better service cheaper and you'll send a message. Except PatriotMobil.com. Go there now. Patriotmobile.com slash Beck. Switch now. 972, Patriot. Wouldn't you like to see more pictures of Glenn and myself? Oh, man. We're great visually.
Starting point is 01:06:15 Go to Instagram. It's at Studeas America and at Glenn Beck. Follow today. This is the Glenn Beck program. We really need your help. And I want to talk to those people who live in and around the cities where our border is. I want to start by telling you a story. When I was at CNN, we, who, can you believe I even said that?
Starting point is 01:06:56 when I was with CNN. I remember those days, had a really good cafeteria. The best cafeteria ever. Any place I've ever worked. Anyway, it's true, man. It was,
Starting point is 01:07:06 it was misery outside of the cafeteria. But the cafeteria was awesome. So anyway, when we were at CNN, I don't remember the story, what the first story was that broke about the border, but it was,
Starting point is 01:07:20 I think, about the kidnapping of American citizens. You never, ever hear this story, but American citizens are just ghosted. They're just gone. And there is fairly, I would say, 90% sure it's accurate that there are these Roman Coliseums on the other side of the border run by these cartels. And they use them to set an example. And they literally have people fighting each other to the death and fighting against lions and and everything.
Starting point is 01:08:04 And they ghost people. Not only is it the citizens on the other side that cross the drug cartels, but also citizens here. And we come up with all kinds of excuses not to talk about them, but it is happening. and these drug cartels prey on beautiful girls on this side of the border, and they take them in, and sometimes they are just sex slaves for the cartels. Nobody wants to talk about this. And here's why. When we were at CNN, we started to go down this path, and we were doing investigation on it.
Starting point is 01:08:51 And to CNN's credit, they didn't. didn't stop us at the time, but they didn't really support us. They weren't excited about it. They weren't excited about it, okay. But they didn't ever say any more than they usually did, which was usually, I can't believe this guy is on the air. Let's fact check everything six times to frustrate them so much that they'll leave. But we became better journalists because of our time there, because we had to be buttoned up.
Starting point is 01:09:22 So we were doing it and I had a parent on the border that was a source for us. And I had this parent on the air and then all of a sudden I could no longer get a hold of that parent. That person won exposure on the air. And I'm not even sure that we put their name. Yeah, we did because they wanted to talk about their daughter. and that person no longer would talk to us was like don't call me anymore don't talk to me anymore obviously they were in danger do you remember this then we had a reporter down on the border that was doing a piece on the drug cartels and the missing americans we had one exposure with
Starting point is 01:10:11 that person and no more that person was absolute a ghost to us it happened over and over again and and we were blocked at every at every turn not from internal forces per se then i went to fox and i remember sitting in the in the office with roger ails and i said to him this is when we first started and i said roger there's a couple things i'm passionate about we have to expose what's happening with the drug cartels on the border these are missing citizens. I went over all of it. And he said, go, go. I said, so we have your backing. He said, absolutely, go. Well, we did up to a point. I remember doing a show. If you watched all of my shows back then, you might remember, I was very emotional because I felt like I had abandoned all of those
Starting point is 01:11:11 parents that were not willing to talk on the air, but were begging for someone to help find their children. And I feel like I felt like I had betrayed them. And I got on the air and in my usual weepy form, I talked directly to the parents. And I said, consider us the alamo. We are not going to give up. And we have plans and we're going to be pursuing these stories. Well, all of a sudden, there were no satellite availability on the border. We couldn't get any reporters
Starting point is 01:11:52 to help us. I went to Roger and I said, can you, Roger, we just need one reporter. I don't even have to break the news, but I can point them in the right direction to follow it. Now we're down the road on other things,
Starting point is 01:12:08 stay focused on Obama. I know, but this is part of that. This is part of that. And again, I don't need the credit. Just give it to the news department. Okay, we'll think about it. Well, that never happened. We never got the resources.
Starting point is 01:12:24 We could never talk to anyone because you speak to them once and then it's over. I would like to talk to you if you happen to have any information that you want to give. I own this show, this company, and I will, it's me. I only answer to me. I mean, I have partners along the way of Premier Radio networks and the Blaze, but I can do what I want. And my wife, this is the only time she's ever told me no on things. She does not want me involved on these border stories.
Starting point is 01:13:11 And we have talked about it and we have cried for the families. And she is like, there's only so much you can do and no. But this story is not about the children on the border. This story is about the drug cartels on the other side. We cannot empower them. We are giving them just from this border crisis, $180 million a year, plus everything else that they're smuggling through. We are handing our cities, we are handing these children over to the drug cartels.
Starting point is 01:13:59 And we can solve this. You just must secure the border and then say, let's have an orderly way. Look, I understand. If I were in Mexico and my town was run by a drug cartel and everybody's being killed in the streets and it's bad. I mean, do you remember the pictures we got? We had a reporter send us pictures where this, and there were several of them, where they were bowling with human heads, where there was a road into this one town where they were actually crucifying. people on the sides of the road to let you know exactly what happens to those who stand against it it is america must know what it is empowering and politics are going to get too many people
Starting point is 01:14:58 killed i have done work to try to stop the sex trade it is an abomination what happens to these children. Remember, there is nothing, nothing. There's, do you, tell me where Jesus gets really pissy. It's people profiting off of the temple and also children. You might as well have a millstone around your neck and thrown to the bottom of the sea. He's very clear. He's very clear. what's happening we know about but nobody i shouldn't say we know about i know about the people in the media know it they just won't say it and they won't look into it they won't follow and the people who are living in these border towns they are afraid rightfully so they are afraid for their life.
Starting point is 01:16:07 We're never going to solve this if we keep making this about politics and we're not telling you the real story. This is not about children. As I said, if I lived in Mexico and my town was being rugged, I would do the same thing they're doing. Even if it was just one of my children, go. In my wife's family, Uncle Leo came here from Italy. Because they thought the entire family was going to be wiped out.
Starting point is 01:16:43 And so he was sent here because he was born in America on a vacation. So he was an American citizen. He was 16 years old all by himself dumped into New York City. Why would you do that as a parent? Can you imagine doing that? Because the whole family they thought was going to be wiped out. And the only safe place for the family was America. So don't tell me you wouldn't do this if the situation were reversed.
Starting point is 01:17:10 But we have to have a humane way to do it and an orderly way to do it. And we must secure the borders first. I don't know how we reach our friends because now everything is about politics. Everything. How is it that when they're screening the jury up in Minneapolis for the for the case that's opening today, the, what's his name? George Floyd.
Starting point is 01:17:45 How is it that the jury is asked by both the prosecution and the defense questions about COVID? What does that have to do with this case? Because they were covert questions to find out if you were liberal or conservative. How can a disease become political? everything is if we truly care we can't make this about politics we have to pursue the truth
Starting point is 01:18:20 too many people are not interested in that they don't care about the cages that these kids are in right now and can we stop calling them kids I don't know I mean I'm sure there are little kids but they're also like a lot of them 15 year old boys 15 16
Starting point is 01:18:39 even Biden said the overwhelming majority majority of 15, 16, 17 year olds. Right. And those aren't children, children. Yes, they are. I mean, I have a 16-year-old son. I don't want him mistreated and I don't want him in, but these are being sent for a reason. Let's stop with all of the things that are trying to play on our hearts and give our heart a chance to actually embrace the things that are dangerous and are true. I don't know exactly what I'm asking you for other than your prayers and your support. But if you live on the border, if you're a sheriff, if you feel like nobody is listening to you, if you have things that need to be shared, you need to show what's really happening.
Starting point is 01:19:36 I'm listening. Back in a second. Take a look at that zucchini and squash. I mean, when I look at that big, thick chunks lined up on the grill next to some broccoli and cauliflower, I say yum. It's dinner time. Oh, the Brussels sprouts as they're just starting to turn brown and the asparagus. I mean, I'm sorry if I'm making your mouth water like crazy.
Starting point is 01:20:09 Stu just looked at me like, that's pretty good. By the way, I went to a Chinese restaurant the other day and I ordered something chicken and it came. It had chicken in it. And then it was just these square like there were like rectangles. Oh, are you going to Tofu Town? I didn't order tofu. I don't want tofu anymore.
Starting point is 01:20:30 Especially when you order a chicken dish. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Was it good, though? The tofu? Yeah. The plate loved it. It was like, let me have this.
Starting point is 01:20:40 Just put that on the edge of the food. And I was like, okay, plate. Wow. So I didn't, I did not want to deprive my plate or the garbage can of any of that. Anyway, wreck tech. I mean, you know, veggies on the rec tech, man. You can.
Starting point is 01:20:58 And they're good. I'm actually eating probably 80%, 90% of my food now is vegan, not even vegetarian. It's vegan. My daughter is a really good cook. And I don't ask, I don't want to see it assembled. I don't. I just told her that looks like a big square piece of tofu. I'm never going to eat it.
Starting point is 01:21:18 Right. Mix it into, make it look good. So she mixes and she fools me all the time. And it's really, really good. But anyway, I digress. Can we please talk about a steak for a second? You can do all these great things, you know, on the rec tech, but it is a grill, a smoker, it can bake.
Starting point is 01:21:38 It has smart grill technology. A, B, compare with the best grill that you can find. And you've never had bean curd if you haven't had it on a rec tech. Oh, my gosh. Delicious, delicious bean curd. The beans just keep falling through the little slats. And gosh, darn it. Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:21:53 Check rec tech out. R-E-C-E-Q-C-E-Q-com. This is the Glenn Beck program. We're so glad that you're here today. Thank you so much for listening. We have a lot yet to cover in next hour. I want to talk to you a little bit about what it's like to buy a home in California. There is a story of these two buyers, and they are not alone.
Starting point is 01:22:28 These two buyers in California that bought a house closed on it in January. Paid for it. Sign the papers. Then the former owner decides, eh, he's not going to move out. He has the money. It's all gone through.
Starting point is 01:22:47 He signed the paper, but he's decided he's going to live there. And the owners of the house can't do anything about it. The joys of living in a progressive world. world coming up. So, Antifa decided to go to the Capitol in Oregon
Starting point is 01:23:15 and storm the Capitol. Sound familiar at all? Sound familiar? I mean, you probably don't know the story because it was not even worth covering really. Really? Yeah, it's not. It seems like an insurrection. Yeah, well, here's the problem. Here's the problem.
Starting point is 01:23:32 Somebody was fed up with it and they were shooting paint pellets at his car, and he got out and said, stop. And they didn't, and they started shooting paint pellets at him. And he was armed. And he pulled his gun out and said, stop right now. He didn't point it at him.
Starting point is 01:23:51 But that's the kind of Trump-supporting crazed maniac that is out on our streets with guns. It just, Antifa just wanted to, they thought his car needed some new paint. Oh. And they were all there with some paint. And I think they were doing him a favor. That's how out of control things are. We'll tell you the follow-up story. Coming up, we begin the last hour of the broadcast in 60 seconds.
Starting point is 01:24:27 So, Stu, why don't you take this out? This is the, there's a gold bar that I have to send back, and I really don't want to send back. I'll take care of it. I'll send it back for you. No problem. Yeah, yeah. You're busy.
Starting point is 01:24:41 You're so busy. I'll take it and then don't worry about it. We'll see each other when we see each other. Do you think that they would notice that we just took a two by four and just cut it into a shape like this and spray painted it gold if we sent it back? Here's the thing. You ever see that trick where you, if you cut a pizza a certain way? Yes. You can make it look like you could take a piece of it and it would put it back together and it looks like the whole pizza.
Starting point is 01:25:02 Exactly right. We can kind of do that with this thing. We'll just shave the top and the bottom off of it. Anyway, what we're talking about is a nine pound bar of gold that is sitting here. uh, Stu could just barely even open the box that it's in. It is, it's a zip lock back. It's so small and it seems a lot heavier, doesn't it? Yeah, it's really dense.
Starting point is 01:25:24 Yeah, it's like a black hole. And it's, it's a bar of gold from, uh, the 1850s or 60s. Uh, it's marked. How much? 12,000, 12th, 22, 2641. So just a little over $2,500. $2,500 for nine pounds of gold. So what's changed? The value of the dollar. That's what's changed. The gold isn't worth more. The dollar is worth less than it was in the 1860s.
Starting point is 01:25:55 And this is an actual piece of really cool history. This was found on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of, I think, North Carolina. And had been sitting there for over 100 years. and now there's a few of these bars that are up for sale. And if you're interested, I mean, it's $300,000. But if you're interested, Bill, there's got to be like one per. We should just call him. This is a piece of gold that you can't confiscate, really, because it's, I mean, it's a, yes, it's a bar of gold,
Starting point is 01:26:32 but it is a real big history piece as well for America. And the bigger thing, of course, is you don't have to buy a giant gold bar for $300,000. They've actually Get gold A lot less money Yeah It's kind of like You remember when you were a kid
Starting point is 01:26:45 And you had a business plan And you were like All we need is one buyer Why don't we just We'll make something And charge you know $10 million for it We only have to make one
Starting point is 01:26:55 Yeah it doesn't work that way Doesn't work that way So they've got smaller pieces of gold as well They're standing by to take your call Please take the The fall of the dollar Seriously
Starting point is 01:27:08 Please don't be surprised by that. Call for all the information at 866 Goldline, 866 Goldline, or Goldline.com. We could make that into a tooth. Oh, yeah, bring it in. Have somebody bring it in to me, will you, Sarah? So I read
Starting point is 01:27:32 an article and it's so funny because people send me these articles all the time and they're like, Glenn, you got to buy this. I'm like, you know, it's George Washington's hair is up for sale. And not a lot of it, just like a clipping
Starting point is 01:27:48 of his hair. One point seven million dollars. One point seven million dollars. Seems a bit creepy to me, honestly. Like, it seems like something a stalker does. It's like hold on to someone's hair.
Starting point is 01:28:02 Yeah, it does. Well, it seems creepy to us, but this was the thing back then. Autographs were worthless. Nobody asked for an autograph. Oh, so it was instead of autographs, you get somebody's hair? Yeah, it was because it was deeply personal. to them. Big fan of your work. Can I get some of your hair?
Starting point is 01:28:19 Is that really crazy? That's what people did. Yeah. And then the person would just cut some of their hair off. Well, no. It's like this stopped, you know, around, you know, in the 1900s, it was really kind of ended. In the 1800s, it started to fade a great deal. But that was the thing. And so there's only so much hair. And so you would have to be a very special person to get. a lock of the person's hair and it was usually after they died. So this particular thing that's up for auction
Starting point is 01:28:53 for $1.7 million is a lock of George Washington's hair. Have you seen the picture? No. Oh, you got to just look it up real quick. You won't believe it. It's not a lot.
Starting point is 01:29:09 I mean, I've lost more in my sink than this, than this is. it was cut from his head on his deathbed. Do you see it? Yes. Here's a picture. Here's a big picture of it. I've got a big picture of it.
Starting point is 01:29:25 It's like not a lot. No, you pull that out of like your, you know, your drain in the shower. Yes. I know. So,
Starting point is 01:29:33 oh, but wouldn't you love that and I could wear it around my neck? You'll see that this, that's what this is. It's just like a clipping of his hair. And it's between two pieces. of glass in like a locket for a chain. That's not a lot of hair.
Starting point is 01:29:49 $1.7 million because it comes with a letter that says General Washington's haircut from his head in 1799 by John Pierce, I think it is, of Philadelphia. Send it to me. I received it and then the signature of the guy. So it comes with real providence. you know that it actually is his hair. But here's the thing. When I saw this, I thought 1.7, holy cow, what is going on?
Starting point is 01:30:22 I mean, is it the whole head? Can we make a lamp out of the skin too? I mean, how much hair is it? Because we have a couple of pieces of his hair. There is as much hair in this. It's just tightly braided. This is a little locket that was given to Martha Washington when he was when he died she cut a lot of his hair off and she would give it to
Starting point is 01:30:50 relatives and to really special people different times different times different times different times so this is a locket that went around the person's neck and you could see it's tightly braided it's not a lot of hair but it's about the same amount of hair tightly braided I don't even know what we paid for that, but not $1.7 million and not even close to that. This just shows you how crazy things have gotten.
Starting point is 01:31:20 We also have in the Mercury 1 vault, why are you shaking your head? Right in the little center box. A little window? Yeah. You barely see it. Yeah. But that is actually his hair. That's actually his hair. Now, we have
Starting point is 01:31:37 in the in the Mercury 1 vault as well, and I bet you we, I can't, I'd be shocked if we paid more than 10 grand for it, maybe. We have, maybe, maybe if we bought it in the, in the last 15 years, which I don't think we did, maybe it was 50 grand, but couldn't have been more than that. And to be clear, this is a museum buying this. It's a museum. Yeah, this is like, hey, yeah, I got 50 grand for hair.
Starting point is 01:32:08 Hey, I got to get some of his hair. No, this is to preserve because, again, at the time, these things were more important than even a letter from George Washington, which is weird. Would you say it's even more important than like a Suez Canal light? Is it that important, though? For American history, could it be more important than the Suez? Were you not amazed by the Suez Canal history I gave you today? The lesson on the... The macaroni guy story from the beginning of the show?
Starting point is 01:32:39 The fat kid with the macaroni? That's why we have the Suez Canal. That's the greatest story ever. Well, not the greatest story ever, but a pretty good story. It's in the top 100,000 stories. And I will say, however, you were able to tell it completely without the light. I mean, here you are a guy who owns the Suez Canal light and you didn't need the light at all to tell the story. Shut up.
Starting point is 01:33:00 Are you working for my wife? Are you working for my wife? So anyway, so we have a ring and I, apparently in the other vault. and should be, man, we should bury this thing like in a nuclear silo. We have a ring of a lock of George Washington's hair that was cut by Martha Washington on his deathbed, just like this. Then she gave it to Alexander Hamilton. Alexander Hamilton then gave it to his daughter. she braided the the hair it's unbelievable i don't even know how you would braid a lock of hair but
Starting point is 01:33:44 she braided a lock of hair and it's really beautiful i mean for creepy hair things right um and he was he thought that was so beautiful he made it into a ring and gave it to her so it's a ring bigger than this one and the the circle is what about an inch around it's an oval it's gold ring with a lock of his hair braided by Alexander Hamilton's daughter and given from Martha Washington to Alexander Hamilton. I mean, it's got to be, you think that'd be much more valuable than what they're talking about auctioning today. We've got,
Starting point is 01:34:27 I mean, we got to consider selling that. I mean, David, David, David, seriously. I mean,
Starting point is 01:34:35 $1.7 million. That's insane. And you know what that's from? That's from... 1.7 million dollars. 1.7... It's actually 1.71.1.1.71. It should sell for 1776.
Starting point is 01:34:51 That would be great. Oh, my gosh. Who's buying that? Seriously, who has $1.7 million for a lock of his hair? I mean, Mount Vernon has a lock of his hair. And, uh, by the way, it's a complete... coincidence that and completely unrelated that I am selling
Starting point is 01:35:13 a baggie full of George Washington's hair it's white hair I got a big baggie full of it it's complete coincidence by the way that I got a haircut this weekend don't tie those two things together I hesitate to bring this up but you may know this is your area so I hesitate to bring this up
Starting point is 01:35:33 but I'm reading a story here that says the bidding and the auction was up to $1,771.7 million, but $1,700. Is that possible that somehow one of these stories is completely wrong? Or maybe it's just been bid up a lot since the story I have. But I am a big concern because that's a big gap in those two stories. Yeah, see, in 2019 it sold for $35,000. it couldn't be up to a 1771 and it couldn't be
Starting point is 01:36:11 it couldn't be one point I don't where did I read it this story you're right this story is not because I mean look I still think $1,700 a lot for a frigging couple pieces of hair but not 1.7 million I thought David and I were going to be able to you were going to retire you were ready to retire on the George Washington's hair I was ready to say you know what we're ethical people we would never take
Starting point is 01:36:35 anything out of the Mercury Museum vault but see you later it's a ring see ya yeah it can't be just put an IOU in the vault I know I read it today yeah one this is why honestly this is I'm I'm on drugs I'm on drugs today
Starting point is 01:36:54 I will say you did tell me that before I did I'm going to be on heavy drugs for the show for my back pain right and I said watch every word that I'm saying right right so maybe this is a good example of why I should not be on the air today. Right. I mean, look, numbers are hard.
Starting point is 01:37:11 Math is a challenge. No, I know I read it someplace, or at least the drug would tell me that I was ready. You can't. That macaroni story, you better check the fat kid with the macaroni. There's no way the macaroni story is no way. Would you look that up?
Starting point is 01:37:30 The macaroni fat kid's story? Yeah. A macaroni fat kid. Egypt Suez Canal Egypt Let's just see Let's see what comes up
Starting point is 01:37:44 Got to be your story That story's got to be completely false This one goes directly to A book called Parting the Desert The Creation of the Suez Canal And you got that by Googling Fat Kid Macaroni Suez Canal
Starting point is 01:37:58 Everyone at home You can do it yourself Now do Maccaroni fat kid Suez Canal Egypt and that's what comes up. So I think that one is based on something. Well, here's the deal.
Starting point is 01:38:12 Some of this hair from George Washington goes for $1.7 million. So it's a steal today. If you're interested in George Washington's hair, $1,700. And it is yours. Think about it. You can buy the $1,700 hair and sell it for $1.7 million. I thought this was crazy. and the only way I could explain it is because rich people are doing crazy things right now.
Starting point is 01:38:40 They're buying and bidding things up like crazy. Well, what is the NFT market? That's the craziest example of it, right? These like non-fundable tokens. Can we talk about that for a second? Yeah, sure. I mean, in this, I mean, in this drug-induced state, I'm going to large a room of anything right now. Yeah, there was actually a Glenn Beck photo that sold for $400 million on the NFT market yesterday.
Starting point is 01:39:04 Yeah, yeah. Really? Yep. Why are you still here then? American financing NMLS-18, 23, 3,334, www. NMLS Consumer Access.org. I'm hearing voices.
Starting point is 01:39:19 So when you're looking at the rest of 2021, most market experts think that it's pretty unlikely that mortgage rates are going to go stay down in the 2% range. The Fed says they're going to do this for the next two-year, the next 200,000 years. I don't know. The Fed said that they are, that they are going to keep the rates down for the next two years. I don't know how they're going to do that, but when we get inflation, you have to raise the interest rate. If you are looking for a loan, it is going to get hard for you to be able to get a new mortgage or consolidation loan as time goes on because of
Starting point is 01:40:02 several factors. One, if you're a conservative, I think you're going to have real problems and you will understand the depth of those problems on Wednesday night special because that's exactly what we're talking about with the ESG score that everyone's going to be receiving. The other is it's going to take more for your credit score to be able to buy anything in the future. They are going to be really tight on trying to lend things out because things are going to go sideways. And you're going to have a hard time paying it if the interest rate is way up or if the economy is screwed. Please call American financing today. Save as much money as you can. Do this now.

Starting point is 01:41:41 Token, yeah. Very poorly. I can do that. Did you hear my macaroni and fat kid story? I did. That was very good. It was a great story. If you missed it today, you got to go back of the podcast.
Starting point is 01:41:53 It is a fascinating story on the Suez Canal and how it was actually built. And it does actually involve a fat kid macaroni and a lot. a Frenchman. It's true. So the non-fungible token thing is basically you can own a piece of digital art, right? And the digital art in theory can be anything. It can be something that someone's, you know, like an actual piece of art that someone's created, or it could just be like a photo or, you know, a, there's been people, the NBA got into this
Starting point is 01:42:28 pretty early and they've been selling footage of famous NBA plays on the, on the market. And of course, this doesn't mean that, like, you get to watch it and no one else does. Right. You remember during, remember the pharma bro? I can't think of his name off the top of my head, but he was the farmer bro. He was, he was a CEO of a pharmaceutical company that raised the price of like one specific rare, you know, medication for a rare disease up to like 10,000 percent in a day. And he got all sorts of criticism. And he was eventually in prison because of, you know, because of.
Starting point is 01:43:03 that and other related things. You can believe this story today from Stu because he's telling it. I'm on drugs, but different drugs. Totally different drugs. And so he, in the middle of all that, bought like a Wu-Tang Clan album for like a million dollars. Oh, I remember this. It was the only copy of it.
Starting point is 01:43:21 So he owned the only copy and no one else could listen to it. And it's not the only copy because they were destroyed or anything else. No one wanted. They did the plan we were talking about. They made one. to sell it for like a million dollars. No, it was. They did. One person bought it. So it's kind of like that. Like you have ownership and no one can, no one can say that it's,
Starting point is 01:43:42 that you don't own it. You do. But there's all sorts of bizarre sort of side effects that is and how you've been. So I'd like to talk to you about that. One digital artist just sold a NFT for $65 million. Uh-huh. Which makes him, I think, the third most, uh, uh, I guess a powerful person in art when it comes to ability to sell. Yeah. Let's talk about that here for just a second. This is the Glendack program. So I've been trying to shed the, you know, the old freshman 50 lately. How many? The COVID-80, you know, trying to eat healthier. But there's a problem. I hate healthy food. I hate everything that is healthy. I really do. I mean, I really have a problem with that. It's true. But until they can come up with a
Starting point is 01:44:32 skinny suit. You know, I guess eating healthy and God forbid exercise is my next thing. But anyway, part of eating healthy is being able to have a snack when you want one that's not a carrot. I love sweets. And a protein bar does not ever sound good to me. However, built bar is a protein bar. Keep it to yourself. It's really good for you. It's high in fiber, high in protein, low carb, but they're really good. They're low calorie, too. And they're made with real chocolate. It's the marvels of modern science.

Better than your butt thanking me, but builtbar.com. On that note, go to blaisdiv.com slash Glenn. The promo code is control. He could try the promo code.
Starting point is 01:45:32 but I don't think that one's going to work. This is the Glenn Beck program. When it says on the bottle, don't take and operate heavy machinery. I don't consider a radio program heavy machinery, but I think it is. I think you should start thinking of it that way.
Starting point is 01:45:56 I think it is. Because we have a bunch of topics to cover that we haven't discussed yet, but I'm a little concerned. You're a little concerned? I'm a tad concerned. at this point. Ah, this isn't heavy machinery. Look at the microphone. It's not heavy at all. It's not heavy machinery. Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:46:12 Physically. Run them by me. Well, like, we're going to talk about the George Floyd trial. Probably a bad idea. Terrible idea. Probably a bad idea. On a normal day. I'm on a normal day. But a day when I've got some things coursing through my blood that,
Starting point is 01:46:27 where I don't, where I almost don't have a filter. That's a good thing. Except if you live in America today. Mm-hmm. Then it could be a very bad thing. We have the vaccinations going on and some of the stuff over the weekend with COVID. I think we could go there. Go ahead. You got you got something? You got something? We could talk about because you mentioned earlier. Well, no, see, I just feel like going into any of this stuff is with you at this point. It's just pointless. Any of it is. Any of it is. I saw the new Bob Odenkirk movie this weekend. Oh, really? Did you? Nobody.
Starting point is 01:47:03 Hey, I, you know, I saw last night, and this came as a shock to me. I thought to myself, we were picking a movie, and I've been doing a lot of, you know, research on history and everything. And so the Titanic kind of crossed my path. And I thought, you know, maybe it's been long enough. Maybe it's been long enough. I only saw it in the movie theater once, and my kids are teenagers, and they've never seen the movie. and maybe, maybe it's been long enough to watch it again and actually enjoy it. Right.
Starting point is 01:47:38 Because you watch it once and then that's pretty much it. Yeah, because it's a three and a half hour extravagance. DERGE. Yeah, DERGE is a good word for it. It's got like, you know, it's got about 30 minutes of really great entertainment jam packed into a three and a half hour movie. Right. And then there's a lot of like intricate, nuanced, class war love. triangle stuff that you just want to.
Starting point is 01:48:03 Yeah, that stuff. It's like Attack of the Clones, the Star Wars movie, which was the second of the prequel three. No, I've never gone back. There's not enough time. No, but you watch that one back. There's a good 45-minute movie there. There is a legitimately good 45-minute movie in there.
Starting point is 01:48:22 Have you ever watched movies where you thought, if I had scissors, I could edit this thing into a great 30-minute episode of, you know, a TV show. I'm telling you that one is a good example of it. There's great scenes. There's great fight scenes. There's great battles. Is that the one with Jar Jar Banks?
Starting point is 01:48:38 No, that's the one after Jar Jar Banks. So Jar Jar is pretty much not in the second one. Oh yeah. This is one in a way he's like, I don't know, Admiral or something. I think he got promoted after the first movie, which is he got promoted to never being on screen again somehow. Yeah. Well, he was so good.
Starting point is 01:48:54 You just don't want to. You don't want to wear that out. You know what I mean? And George Lucas is good at knowing when you. you don't want to wear things out. Right. So yes, that's definitely a thing. I think that you could definitely do, like the optimal Titanic movie length is about an hour
Starting point is 01:49:10 18. You know what I mean? That seems like about, like you would be about a 78 minute movie is probably pretty good in Titanic. I do remember it dragging a little bit. So did you wind up watching this? So we watched it last night and my daughter did not want to watch it. She did not want to watch it.
Starting point is 01:49:24 And she's like, Dad, I don't, I'm not interested in the Titanic story. And then I had to switch gears. Leonardo DiCaprio. she's like he is quite beautiful and I said yeah yes and it's three and a half hours of you know a love story with him and somebody gets naked I didn't tell her that it wasn't him yeah but somebody gets naked and she's like I don't want to watch it and she watched it begrudgingly last night and even rife watched it with us and he was like can we stop with the let and I like just keep it quiet I swear
Starting point is 01:50:01 Where do you? There's a great payoff. The boats destroyed, lots of destruction, lots of death. You're going to like it. He's a 16 year old. 16 year old kid. Yeah. So they both watched it with Tony and I. And shockingly, and you may not be, you may not have approached your time. But shockingly, there is enough time that can go by that you will actually enjoy it again. So it was good. It was actually really good. My daughter, she was. sobbing at the end. She's just sobbing and she sits up and she's like, I just love that movie so much. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. That's great. How did this, did this Celine Dion still as annoying as I remember it? Oh yeah. Yeah. Okay. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's it's worse than you remember. The boat sinking scene was pretty solid. It wasn't this the first like kind of real CGI that looked good?
Starting point is 01:51:03 I think so, yeah. I mean, I know they did a lot of, because I did a lot of practical stuff in that too. I've got pictures of them. You know, I think the scene where he's like, oh, the king of the world, I think that was don't take. We have no, don't give a fact. Don't take anything
Starting point is 01:51:18 today. We had a discussion before we came back on the air that you should not, that Glenn should not be responsible for any facts for the rest of the show. Just, you know, hey, you what? I watched a movie. I watched a movie. That's a safe space for for this show right now. Yeah, or I think I watched a movie.
Starting point is 01:51:33 Because you are going, like the Titanic, you're going to crash into an iceberg here at any point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So anyway, I think that they filmed that in like Santa Monica. I don't know. Could be wrong because I think there's a giant Ferris wheel that would have shown up in that scene. So I don't know.
Starting point is 01:51:52 But they actually built parts of the ship and they filmed it outside. Yeah. Which you just don't do anymore. A little expensive. And, you know, it was a very expensive movie. And at the time, the highest grossing movie of all time, we're like, you know, I heard Titanic was pretty good. Okay, so, but here's the thing I do want to, you know, because Rave was like, the movie they came out after that beat this one at the box office. What is that thing?
Starting point is 01:52:17 Oh, God, Avatar. Avatar. Terrible. He's like, it's so much better. And I'm like, I don't get it. I didn't accept. No one does. No one does.
Starting point is 01:52:25 No one does. some sort of a Joe Biden, Hunter Biden lie. Yep. Or some sort of Ukrainian thing. Somebody got paid off. It's on Hunter's laptop.
Starting point is 01:52:37 It's on Hunter's laptop. If you go there, you'll get this whole thing will be uncovered. Because I never understood that. No one understands it. It's this dumb environmentalist movie with a bunch of blue people.
Starting point is 01:52:46 No one knows any of the plot points. No one knows any of the character names. And it's supposedly the highest grossing film of all time and has created an entire amusement park around it. I don't, I don't understand. I really know. Nobody has ever said to me, oh my gosh, nobody's ever quoted lines from that movie. No one does. Like, like, I mean, you know, I'm the king of the world. You know that line. Yeah. Spoonful of sugar. You know that line. I know all the lines from chitty, shitty, bang, bang. You know, of course you do.
Starting point is 01:53:19 Yeah. But I mean, you know lines that come from, you know, movies. There's nothing. There's nothing remarkable. The only thing that was an achievement at all was the technology behind it. The movie itself is a heap is what it is. It's a heap. And the fact that they're making, he's been making these next two sequels for, it seems like a hundred years. And no one asked for them. There's no one around saying, you know what? I need an Avatar 2 and an Avatar 3.
Starting point is 01:53:42 Go ahead, James Cameron. I don't even know. I've watched the movie. I don't even remember the storyline enough to go, oh, I really wonder what happened to that blue one. I mean, right. Isn't it basically, it's just. if you took the Ewox storyline and made a movie out of it. Right?
Starting point is 01:54:01 Like in Star Wars. It's like, here's the, you know, the people, they're the creatures. Nobody wanted the EWalk story. Nobody wanted it. No. No. Not even the EWox. No, not even the EWX.
Starting point is 01:54:12 No, the EWX actually vetoed it. We wrecked this movie. Right. Yes, and they did. And so you're like, okay, here's the simple people. And the mean technology people, those capitalists, you know, let's make a statement against capitalism and technology. while making ourselves $760 million.
Starting point is 01:54:29 There has to be people that are older than 16 that like that movie. For it to be, I just think if it wasn't for actual dollars being spent, I wouldn't believe that is the highest grossing film of all times. And it's not anymore, by the way. Avengers Endgame has passed it and Star Wars Episode 7, The Force Awakens, has passed it. So it is now third. All of our taste is in our mouth. Titanic's down to six.
Starting point is 01:54:55 Did you know that? Well, is it adjusted? All time. Today's dollars adjusted? This one, I don't think this one is adjusted. You got to adjust them. Yeah, let me do that. We're just waiting here because I'm... No, no, I...
Starting point is 01:55:09 It's so... I've got so much medicine in me right now. I'm just like, we could just... Some of these, I think, I always think the inflation-adjusted thing just tells us the story about inflation, not necessarily the movie. Like, for example, number one, all-time inflation-adjusted is gone with the wind. Adjusted... Well, that one was like, didn't like 80 or 90% of the, again, facts.
Starting point is 01:55:31 It was ridiculous. It was like everybody saw that movie. And an estimated number of tickets sold $202 million, which is by far the highest of all time. So that, I mean, it's a legitimate number one. And if you have to, now there wasn't as much competition. There's a lot of different variables here. But number two, that's $1.8.5 billion all time. Number two, Star Wars episode, a new hope.
Starting point is 01:55:54 1.6 billion. Number three is the sound of music. 1.3 billion. E.T. is number four. 1.3 billion. Titanic is number 5. 1.2 billion. There was a story I read.
Starting point is 01:56:08 I think. There was a story I read today. That was all about the hidden sexual stuff of the Van Trap family or whatever their names were in Sound of Music. What's happening?
Starting point is 01:56:24 And I know. I don't even know why I read it. I was fascinated by it because it was like adults understood all of the innuendos. And I'm like, what innuendos in that? And they were talking about when one of the kids put a, this is one of the examples. When one of the kids put a pine cone in her chair and she sat down, all the adults knew what that was. I'm like people that put pine cones up their ass? What the, I mean, what? All right.
Starting point is 01:56:52 See, this is. All right. No, we got you. Let's take a... Let's take a... Let's take it. Do we have... Is there such as a thing
Starting point is 01:56:59 as a drug commercial break? Like, is there a... Seriously. What does the emergency alert system do if it's not going off right now? What does that mean? What? He just... Thank you, bro.
Starting point is 01:57:11 No, no, don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. This is one of these days. Here I am. I'm just fighting for these affiliates to keep their license. That's all I'm doing here today. I don't even know what we're talking about anymore.
Starting point is 01:57:25 Come on. No, tell me what that... Don't go back. Don't go further. I can tell you the other thing that was happening. I don't even understand that one. I don't think you should. I think you should move on.
Starting point is 01:57:35 Let me tell you about life log. That's what you should do. Identity scams are happening. People post... They don't give examples. They pose as nuns and they're not. They like to sit up. More people are looking for ways to protect themselves from cyber criminals.
Starting point is 01:57:51 In fact, 60% of Americans believe it's likely that identity theft will cause them some sort of financial loss in the next year. That's 60%. Wow. It is a big number. It's a big number. Not as big as $1.7 million for a baggie of hair. Oh. But it's important to understand how cyber crime and identity theft, you know, this is, this is don't do drugs, kids. Don't. This is don't. Just say no. Every day, you put your information at risk on the internet and in an instant a cyber criminal can harm what's yours, your finances, your credits, even your name and reputation. That is the only thing that really you should worry about in the end. Getting your good name back, how do you get this off of your record?

Well, the defense has delivered their opening statement now. in the George Floyd trial, which, due to the medication I'm on today, I'm not going to take it on. I'm not going to talk about it. But how'd you like to be that guy?
Starting point is 01:59:50 I mean, if you're having a bad day, just think, hey, you're not that police officer. Or the defense attorney for the police officer? You imagine. Did you hear the New York Times podcast today? I didn't listen to it. No, the daily. Oh, my gosh. No.
Starting point is 02:00:05 I'm sure. They were talking about how they were playing the interviews for all of the jurors. And the defense, was it the defense? No, the prosecution said to the one juror, what do you think about COVID? Well, I mean, what do you mean? What do I think about COVID? I mean, how do you feel about COVID? Do you think that we did the right thing, you know, and they said, this woman said,
Starting point is 02:00:36 Well, no, I don't. I mean, I think it was all started. It's real. And I think it started out as doing the right thing. And we were just trying to figure it out. But I think it's gotten a little out of control. And they dismissed her because that was a covert way of finding out if you are a conservative or not. And apparently, you can't be a conservative for the prosecution.
Starting point is 02:00:59 And they talked about how that was really important. And then they played somebody that the. defense weeded out and it was somebody who said well I've already made up my mind you know on this but I'm open because I don't know all the facts
Starting point is 02:01:18 so if there's new facts I'm perfectly willing to and well do you feel that the police are racist oh yeah the police are racist blah blah blah and the New York Times actually said after that you know Michael Babarro so do you
Starting point is 02:01:34 you think that maybe this figures into a bigger statement that you could now be taken off of a jury because you believe in something that is true? Wait a minute. What? Oh, police are all racist? Is that the implication that? I mean, that was the implication that that guy was telling the truth. But the truth, you know, the defense is going to make sure.
Starting point is 02:02:04 that, you know, those truth tellers aren't on the jury, but the other person that tells the truth that, you know, COVID, you know, it was a good thing, you know, what we did at the beginning, but then got out of control, that's not truth. That's not truth. Amazing. It is remarkable what's happening there.
Starting point is 02:02:22 All right, we'll see you tomorrow. When you were little, you're gonna'clock, you're gonna be crossed in court of recre. Always in trying to negotiate, exchange these cards of hockey, de bonhom, these bracelets, even de collation. You know that each thing has a value.
