The Glenn Beck Program - Ohio Resident Says Town ‘Looks Like a WAR ZONE’: Where’s ‘Amtrak Joe’? | Guest: Katlyn Schwarzwaelder | 2/14/23

Episode Date: February 14, 2023

Glenn reviews some stories exposing how the U.S. is building up to war, including President Biden creating a team to investigate "unidentified aerial phenomena" and the U.S. warning American citizens to leave Russia. Glenn and Stu debate who was responsible for the attack on Russia's Nord Stream pipelines, as Glenn isn't satisfied with its apparent conclusion. The train derailment in Ohio has led to a possible massive contamination of air and water, so Glenn speaks with Ohio resident Katlyn Schwarzwaelder, who was forced to evacuate her animal shelter due to the "war zone"-like state. Where are President Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on this Ohio disaster? Nikki Haley has announced her candidacy for president of the United States as Glenn and Stu debate other possible candidates.

But that's the Inflation Reduction Act, which, oh, by the way, can we play this real quick? Here's the Inflation Reduction Act, what it really is. Here we have John Podesta, C.E. senior advisor to the president.

Explaining. The IRA, the Inflation Reduction Act, is the largest and most significant piece of clean energy legislation, most significant climate legislation that's ever passed in U.S. history. It's transformative and attacking all the sectors of the economy that are involved in emissions, causing climate change. All right. Well, that's good. It's attacking the economy.

And it seems to be working out exactly as planned. And finally, balloon talk. We go there in 60 seconds. Janet writes in about her dog's experience with Rough Green.

Roughgreens.com slash Beck or 833, GLEANN-33. 833, Glenn 33, Roughgreens.com slash Beck. Okay, so we've got some very exciting news for you. The Defense Secretary and the White House had to address something that I think is very, very important we lead with. Let's go to cut eight. This is John Kirby. at the Pentagon. The top officials of the Pentagon, when asked explicitly if they were ruling out any kind of

extraterrestrial presence that they weren't ruling anything out, and yet at the beginning of today's briefing, albeit with her usual winning smile, Ms. Jean-Pierre seemed to rule out any extraterrestrial activity. I don't think the American people need to worry about aliens with respect to these craft, period. I don't think there's any more that needs to be said there. Okay. All right. I just want to say, do you recognize your country today? The spokesperson from the Pentagon without any laughter from the press corps said, quote, I don't think the American people need to worry about extraterrestrials today.

Oh. Okay. Well, that's normal. All right. I got it. Now, we've heard from Austin, they are not a threat, and then we've heard they are a threat, and then we've heard they're not a threat, and then we see that they use sidewinder missiles to take them down. Why would you do that if it's not a threat? By the way, just so you know, in the balloon fight, we had to use two sidewinders. The first one missed it. that's just a half a million dollar missile but uh or i'm sorry yeah half a million dollar missile it missed it i my favorite part of the story is and the pentagon didn't track where that missile

landed but they're pretty sure that no harm was done pretty sure pretty sure okay we don't want to shoot the balloon down in the first place because of the shrapdle that might hit the ground but we'll just let missiles fly randomly into societies. And they're trying to get a better sense of what these things are by going and looking at them. But it proves to be very difficult because it is, the debris is landing in the sea or in the water. Well, here's an idea. Don't shoot it down over the water. What?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Don't shoot it down over the water. I know it's very, very, very complex. Now, Biden has ordered the creation, listen to this, he's ordered the creation of interagency team to investigate unidentified aerial phenomena. UAP. Okay, that's what they now call UFOs.

Okay. Does anybody want to step in and tell me what's wrong with this story? The president, through his national security advisor, today has directed an interagency team to study the broader policy implications for detection, analysis, and disposition of unidentified aerial objects that pose either safety or security risks. Nobody? We already did this in Congress two years ago. We have one. Marco Rubio set it up. It's why we've found out about possible alien life in the first place.

You already have a commission, an interagency commission that is studying this. They've produced a report. And yet yesterday, he announces we're going to do another one. We need a committee to study that committee. Well, we need a committee of doctors to study the brain. All right. So now the U.S. military first shot at an unknown octagon. Say it.

I'm not even sure what. An octagonal octagon. An object that was an optagon over Lake Huron. Okay. Yesterday, they said, we don't think it was a balloon. We don't think it was a balloon. Is it a kite? No, we just don't think it was a balloon because it was.

It was an octagon and you don't have balloons that are octagon. Well, Scott Adams just searched Google for five minutes and he found an octagonal weather balloon for sale on Google. So apparently they do make them, but maybe the Pentagon doesn't have Google. Not sure. Maybe you cover this while I was gone. But do you have a, what's your cohesive theory that explains this? Is it just that we've always had lots of balloons going over our heads and didn't know it? I'll get to that.

I'll get to that in a minute. I'll get to that in a minute. Because yesterday, I spent a lot of time just explaining, I don't think the extraterrestrial life has come from Alpha Centauri and then invading us with weather balloons. I just don't think that they were like. That would be a weird approach. Yeah. But you know what?

It would throw us off the truner. track. It would work. Let's get into the hot air balloon and go down and visit them. I just didn't think that that would be the mode of invasion. Feels a low probability to me. It does. It does.

It does. Okay. So what is happening? Well, did you know that on January 28th, the U.S. Air Force spotted the spy balloon, right? Coming in from Alaska. And it went over the Elytian Island. It was in Canadian airspace. And then by the 31st, somebody was looking up and they're like, hey, that looks like a balloon.

What is it? And the government had known about it the whole time, but decided to just be quiet. Like, we're not going to see this balloon up in the sky. Okay. Did you know that just a few days prior to this, the Coast Guard caught a Russian spy ship gathering intelligence. near Hawaii. Now, the media was focused on one spy ship. The Coast Guard released photos of several.

Now, these are not ghost balloons. These are ships that just kind of like materialized. Nobody had seen them. They had been going back and forth, changing directions, avoiding all of our ability to track these ships. and then they just kind of like came out. That's great. That's wonderful. So we have that.

Now, I don't know if anybody has checked this, but it's almost like Russia and China are now in bed together. And maybe we're in a proxy war with not only Russia, but also China. They're checking our difference. fences they are seeing are we spotting them can they get past us and they're just they are just testing i think our president on the balloons so they're playing chicken with us okay they're not losing they're not winning but they're not losing okay so why is this happening well has anybody noticed the volume of trade between russia and china it's gone through the roof

So Beijing is now in the role where they are pretty much funding Russia's war in Ukraine. You know, kind of like us funding Ukrainian side of the war. So, wow, it sounds like we're on a losing team. Looks like we've got Russia and China now as the Axis power. and us in Ukraine, yay. Theoretically Europe, right? Yeah, theoretically Europe. So this is what I think is truly happening.

Now, in about 10 minutes in Washington, D.C., they're getting a confidential briefing about the spy balloons. So we should have some idea. China just came out yesterday and said, well, you know, there's been 10. in our airspace since 2022. Washington, D.C. sends the balloons over to our place all the time. Okay, don't know if that's true, but can we, maybe we should, you know, maybe we should just kind of back down a little bit,

seeing that we are now facing China and Russia. I mean, I don't know about you, but I don't want to go to war with China and Russia. I don't want to go to war with China and, you know, Ethel, who lives down at the end of my street. You know, let's not go to war. What do you say? Ethel's pretty spicy. I mean, she brings it. Yeah.

So you don't want to get her involved in this. Correct. Right. Right. You know Ethel. Oh, yeah. Everybody. Yeah, everybody does.

Everybody does. All right. So we have that going for us. Now, we find out that Russia may have lost an entire elite. brigade near a Donnesk coal mining town. So it's not going well for them. However, yesterday, the State Department said, hey, you know, if you're an American citizen, okay, you should not travel to Russia. Do you think so? But if you're there, you need to depart immediately. Now, part of this is because what's left are dual citizens, okay?

And what we're saying is, quote, due to the unpredictable consequences of the unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian military forces, Americans in Russia face harassment, unlawful detention, and the possibility of terrorism. Also, Americans in Russia could be subject to mobilization and conscripted to the, Russian military. So they're saying they might just grab people and just say, you, you're in the military. Or they might just send you to a gulag. So that seems like, that seems like, you know, really good news. Now, one last story.

This comes from Forbes. Carl Sandberg, he's the guy who wrote the Lincoln, you know, autobiography, or the, the biography. and he said near the end of the Civil War, how improbable it was that the nation had turned to a one-horse lawyer from a one-horse town to save it. The president confided that he too thought it was strange and then observed,

it was a time when a man with a policy would have been fatal to the country. I've never had policy. I've just tried to do what was best as each day came, Abraham Lincoln. Next, the next paragraph. President Biden's response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine has a similar flavor. He had no policy for dealing with such an invasion when he entered office because he wasn't expecting one. But once the invasion became imminent, Biden did everything he could to dissuade President Putin, but the war began. And Biden and his advisors expecting a quick Russian victory.

just tried to do the right thing. That is a magnificent story in so many ways. First of all, I mean, Abraham Lincoln was really smart and said a lot of really good things. Is that, that's the one you're pulling out? I didn't really know anything about this. I just kind of gave it. I winged it. Is that a good quote from Lincoln?

Right. You should have had a policy on slavery. Well, the story goes on and says, maybe we should have a policy. Yeah. in this one. I'll explain in just a minute. On his deathbed, Oscar Wilde is famous for having say, it's either me or the drapes. One of us has to go.

Don't you want a quote like that? I mean, I got to think of one and then, you know, then you'll die and you'll be up in him and you're like, God, I forgot to say that one great quote. Anyway, if you're looking for help in the drapes department, you don't want a company that's going to have to come out two or three times.

Okay. So Forbes goes on to say, when Ukraine proved unexpectedly resilient in the face of Moscow's aggression, the administration cautiously began sending military equipment, most defensive items like Stinger and anti-aircraft missiles, blah, blah, blah. Russia's subsequent reverses on the battlefield emboldened the administration to rally allies while gradually increasing the lethality of what America supplied.

In April of 22, they decided to send N-777-Hawitzers. In June, the High Mars rocket launcher, and in December, the Patriot Missile System. Now it's sending armored vehicles, including the prized Abrams' main battle tank. and pressing the Allies to send similar weapons such as the leopard from Germany, and there's talk of supplying F-16 fighters. Washington Post story on February 9th that closed the targeting of a game-changing

Heimar's system that it depends on information provided by U.S. intelligence, reporting Ukrainian forces, quoting, almost never launched the advanced weapons without specific coordinates, coordinates provided by U.S. military personnel. The very next day, the Post revealed that the Pentagon was urging Congress to allow U.S. special operators to have hands on control. Okay, this is okay. All right.

Okay. Let's, uh-huh. So the story goes on to say, uh, when is Russia going to say enough is enough? I think probably this spring. I think maybe that's what's happening with the balloons and China. They are letting us know. We are not to be fooled around with. We've had how many power outages and problems?

You know, they keep blaming this on the Nazis. All these Nazis that are around. I've never seen a Nazi. I've seen a Klansman before on a street corner. I yelled at him and my wife was like, can you shut up and just keep driving? And, but I've never seen a group of Nazis. Well, I have, I guess, on TV, you know, that group of fine people, as the press always likes to say, Trump called them. Yeah.

But apparently they're everywhere. Yeah. They're busy. Very busy. Yeah. They're very busy. They're very, very busy. We really need to pay attention.

Because one of the things that, according to the post, is the most damaging. the thing that should worry all of us is this nonchalant attitude in Congress, in the Senate, and in the administration of, you know, we're just sending some stuff over, no big deal. We're not going to get into a war. We are marching towards something, and we have got to stop now. And doesn't it seem more likely we'll get pulled into a war when our president apparently has no policy on this issue? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Just making it up as he goes along.

Well, at some point, it might feel like the right thing to do is enter into war. Right. Right. Great. Perfect. Said Abraham Lincoln. So stupid. The Glenn Beck Program.

And I warn you, I am not satisfied on the Nord Stream pipeline thing yet. I would like an investigation on that. And it won't happen because if we did indeed, do it, that's World War III. I mean, if Russia did that to us, wouldn't that be something we would declare war on? Now, I have to tell you, for me, it's not fighting a war over. If our administration did this, that's impeachable, that is treason, you don't do this. You don't go around Congress

and do something like this. And I hope to God we didn't. But you know, we all look at it. Well, Putin's not crazy enough. Were we crazy enough to do what we just did? Because if we are crazy enough to blow up the Nord Stream pipeline, that is an act of war. And to do it without anyone even in Congress knowing about it, I got news for you. He's crazy enough to detonate a nuke. And you're calling for an investigation to find out if this was done by us or who it was done by.

Well, name the countries that could do it, still. Well, everyone pointed to Russia initially, which never really made sense to me. It doesn't make sense to me. China could do it, but China, I mean, that doesn't make sense. They'd be on the other side of Russia, and they're cozing up to Russia. Right, they don't want to do that. No. You have France.

France does not have the spine. And if their people found out while they were freezing to death, they were the ones that, I mean, that would just be horrible. England has the capability, but England has the same story as France, and England's not going to do it. I mean, why would England do it? No, I mean, even if they did do it, it's basically our ally doing it anyway, and they would have to ask us. Right. I mean, they probably, they don't have to ask us, of course, as a sovereign nation. Because I doubt we asked any of them.

Right. But they would probably consult with us on something like that. It doesn't make any sense. I mean, the only thing that, if you want to stretch a little bit, the only thing that kind of potentially could make sense for, from the Russia standpoint is perhaps a faction of the Russian military that believes Putin is too soft. Now, this is, this faction definitely exists, right? They're, they're saying, wait a minute, the United States is supplying arms to these guys. They are our enemy.

We're already at war, admit it. And they also were the people who are saying, you know, we are too tied economically to these other countries. And we can't do the right thing in Ukraine by going after them. of these pipelines and we're worried about Europe and how they're going to react because that we have these ties to them for gas and all of this. And that was going on before this war. So, I mean, in theory, could a faction of the military or some part of their military intelligence complex think, we need to end this so there's no more ties here and we can

fight this like, you know, we're supposed to? Maybe? Maybe. Why wouldn't the investigate? I mean, it's interesting to me that, uh, All the investigators from the West, they've all been like, yeah, we should just forget about it now. I mean, we've been down there. We looked at it.

We should just forget about it now. No. I mean, if it was a Russians and there was any evidence at all, they would have said that. If there's any evidence at all, they wouldn't say it was us. Yeah, they say, I mean, they do seem to point to Russia, but they don't provide any real reason. And they don't provide that sort of, you know, because there's not a real reason. Why would Russia want to do that? Like, if their plan was to just go to war with Europe, right, they could just go to war with Europe, right?

Like, there's no reason to break off the income in the middle of, at the worst part of a financial crisis caused by this war. The last thing they're going to want to do is cut off their short-term access to the gas business. Now, I guess this was the secondary pipeline, so it was the one that wasn't really operational yet. But still, why close that door? It doesn't make any sense. You know, it's a bizarre, it's a bizarre theory. Why would Russia blow up their own access to a bunch of money? Like, doesn't, have we looked at the Rebel Alliance?

because like you said, it wasn't fully operational yet. So they tend to do it right before it comes online. It is Valentine's Day, which I absolutely hate. I hate it. Why? Do you have plans tonight? I mean, yes, we do have plans. Nice.

But I hate it. So is this going to be the discussion while you're out? Shut up. A little bit of a, hey, not happy I'm here. Not happy to see you. My wife gave me a card today. It was so sweet. And I get up in the morning and it's sitting by my sink.

And hers is not sitting by the sink. It's, I put it at the store. But anyway. Oh, that's nice. So. I wish you could do something today and go out and get it. Well, I'm going to pick it up. Oh, you're going to pick it up?

I thought I might pick it up. Oh, you should give her the opportunity to pick it up. Yeah. Yeah. You're right. Good idea. It's a surprise. Go in and see which one you think I left there. for you. They'll charge you if you got the wrong one. So anyway, just a quick, you know, Valentine's tip here. This comes from a Harvard-trained psychologist that works with couples,

and they wanted to show that these are some of the phrases that might show that your marriage or relationship is in trouble. Okay? So remember, this is Harvard. Okay. Okay. So, I mean, we're looking, I mean, we're going to go deep here. Yeah, I want to know. All right. The first phrase that if you notice any of these phrases coming from you or your partner,

your relationship may be in trouble. The first phrase that apparently you don't want to say is, you don't deserve me. Really? They said it could also. That was actually written on the Valentine's Day card I got for my wife. Well, that's weird because the one I picked out said, You're lucky that I even put up with you, which is, you know, still the same phrase they wanted you to know. If you hear any of those, you might be in trouble.

This one, number two, is stop asking if I'm okay, all right? Everything's fine when it isn't. When you hear that. Now, what would be the issue there? I can't think of anything. They say that's just passive aggressive. and then they don't feel open to, you know, to share. Okay.

And they can't resolve the conflict. Although I will tell you, there's a caveat on this. Stop asking if I'm okay. Everything is fine. Sometimes guys really just don't know. We have no idea if you're fine or not. We just know you've stopped talking to us or you're just going to give us a cold shoulder or just a look. sometimes that look means nothing sometimes that look means like you've really done something now

and I'm so angry I want you to apologize and then we're like I don't know what I did and so you're like hey hey sup and then they give you the look you're like okay all right so now I know I've done something scanning scanning scanning I don't know it I have no idea what it is honey is something wrong? Can I, I mean, did I? No, nothing is wrong. Okay. All right. So I'm not sure if that is necessarily the same. And you said sometimes guys don't know. What was the, can you explain? Yeah, I should take out the caveat. Sometimes it's not. Guys just don't know. We have no idea. We have no idea. So if you're, if someone's asking, usually that's probably a good sign that they actually care enough to ask. Yeah. At least you're over that hump. Are you okay? Please don't chop our heads off. We

have no idea. No, yeah. We have no idea. We have no idea. Okay. Number three is, if you say this to your spouse, your marriage may be in trouble or your relationship. You're pathetic. Now, this is from a Harvard study.

Okay. If their name is actually pathetic, there is that has to be an asterisk for that. I don't know. I don't know. But they say this is name calling and it simplifies. That's not saying name calling. Right. Right.

I'm saying if it's her name. Right. Her name is pathetic. God given name. Right. Okay. This one. to this one again it has to come from a PhD because you never see this one so far it's pretty

advanced analysis uh the fourth phrase that you just don't want to say or hear in your relationship is I hate you shut up it's not I hate you I hate you I hate you number four I hate you because wow do we pay for the study we had to pay for the study It overgeneralizes momentary feelings and creates insecurity, even in the good moments, because your partner may think, do they really love me right now when they said, I hate you last week? The good, what good moments are saying good moments? So you have a bad moment where you say, I hate you. And then there's a good moment. You're like, I love you.

And you're like, you just said you hated me. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Your breakdown in the situation is inconsistent. That's, that's. Wait, do you get back to the I love you thing after the I hate you thing? I think the I hate you thing kind of winds it up, doesn't it? I mean, I kind of see that as a red flare.

Really? Yeah. She says, I hate you. Do you go to Harvard? No, I, Yale. Okay. Five, you're a bad parent. Oops.

You're a bad man. Who says these things? I don't, I don't know. You're a bad parent. bad parent. But like these, all of the, or at least most of these, seem like immediate relationship enders. If you say them once.

Right. So they say, this is what you're supposed to do for a good relationship. Use eye statements. Say thank you. And take responsibility. So now I'm not a, I'm not a PhD, but I am a doctor in the humanities. And this is, oh, for the love of all humanity, say these things. Okay?

use I statements say thank you take responsibility use I statements yeah so so it would be like oh thank you for saying that um I've been looking to take responsibility of my own life and you've just reminded me I hate you oh it's an I statement yeah I hate you that's good and apparently it'll be fixed it'll be fixed happy Valentine's day everybody oh you know it's really sad is there people probably in this audience that are like, wow, don't say I hate you.

Barney is back. The beloved Purple Dinosaur reboot is in the works. I don't know anybody that likes Barney. Not a single soul. They were all filled. Every episode was filmed.

Right here. Here in our complex, our studio complex. And I'm not proud of that. You know, I say it just to get it out there so it can't be used against me. But also. Were you in the costume? No. I've been a little skin tight, I guess.

The Biden administration yesterday has announced another sale of oil from the Department of Energy Strategic Petroleum Reserve. another 26 million barrels going to be sold off. Oh, good. So we're at the lowest now dating back to 1983, which was just a few years after the Strategic Oil Reserve was put into place. So that's great. That's great. Yeah.

Really, really, really. We have a lot of things that are like the first since 1983 or earlier. Yeah. You know, inflation. There's a lot of that going on. You know, I don't know if you've paid any attention to what's been going on in Ohio. but there's some real problems in Ohio. I'm going to, we're spending the whole next hour on Ohio and what's happening there.

But, you know, the good thing is, is that, you know, we have Buttigieg. And do we have time to play cut nine? Yeah. Here's, here's. To work with your contractors, to work with your community colleges, on building a workforce that reflects the community. We have heard way too many stories from generations past of infrastructure where you got a neighborhood, often a neighborhood of color, that finally sees the project come to them, but everyone in the hard hats on that project looking like, you know, doing the good-paying jobs,

don't look like they came from anywhere near the neighborhood. You can build community wealth that will help close wealth gaps in this country if we can tear down those barriers. That's great. That's Pete Buttigieg. spoke about this and, you know, hey, white people shouldn't get jobs. He's the transportation secretary. No comment until 8.30 last night on what the hell is going on in Ohio? Where is he on this?

Where is he on this? I mean, have you ever, can you name any other transportation secretaries? Like, this guy has been in the middle of like 10 cataclysmic. disasters since he's taking this job. He is horrible at this. Every single thing he does seems to turn to a disaster. Like, I mean, it's a really meaningless, not a meaningless job, but it's a,

it's not a job where you get any notoriety. And yet this guy's in the center of all sorts of stuff. Every time there's a massive screw-up, it's usually on him. Well, the exception that, you know, the media doesn't recognize that. You know, they want to keep his, they want to keep his runway open.

for a possible run in 24 as president of the United States. But he needs to answer for what's happening in Ohio. And what's happening in Ohio is a nightmare. I don't, you know, I'd like to see Pete Buttigieg move to Palestine and live there and tell me it's okay. What you're about to hear you should have entertainment, this is the Glenn Beck program.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. what is happening in Ohio is a nightmare, a national nightmare. What exactly is happening in Ohio? Yesterday, we had Pete Buttigieg out talking about how construction workers shouldn't be white. We need to balance our workforce. You're the Transportation Secretary. Have you been on the ground yet? We've been down on the ground in Palestine,

Ohio. You know, and the EPA yesterday came out and said, oh, it's all fine. All fine. Nothing in the water. Nothing to breathe. No big deal. Except people's animals are dying. And they're being told, you can go back. You know, this is what happens when you have

government agencies lie to people like they did at the CDC with COVID. Now, you think you have any credibility? If I'm living in Palestine, Ohio, I'm saying to the EPA, really? You and, you and Professor Pete, go ahead. You come here. You live here for a couple of weeks and walk around a mile away from this derailment, drink the water.

Then I'll believe you that maybe my family would be safe. I wouldn't believe it. This is a real crisis. So what's really going on on the ground? Well, we want to take you to somebody who lives about a mile, mile and a half from the accident. However, their property is only about half a mile from the crash site. It's not a good situation, and America needs to answer for it. When I say America, I'd like Washington to answer.

What are you doing? to protect the people, the water supply, all of it in 60 seconds. You know, you'd think that, I mean, because everybody in the media and the left, they always love these spills, so they always are covering it, wall to wall. This has been going on since what? The sixth? Was it? I mean, this has been going on for a very long.

The third. The third. Where is everybody? Let me, first of all, before we get into that, tell you about senior Air Force, Senior Master Sergeant Israel Del Toro Jr. In one horrific moment during his tour in Afghanistan, his Humvee that he was writing in exploded, leaving him with severe burns over 80% of his body. Doctors only gave him a 15% chance of survival, and thank God he did survive. Later, he became the first fully disabled airman permitted to re-enlist, and he was a gold medal winner of the Invictus Games. This guy is amazing. Well, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation made sure that when this accident happened, he and his family received a mortgage-free smart home. It has a ton of smart features that help him live life more independently, so his kids can be with dad and he can go on inspiring others with his story.

Tornell to Towers. Help heroes like Del Toro when they need it the most. Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org. That's T, the number two t.org. All right. I want to welcome in a resident, Caitlin Schwartzwolder. She is the Von Schwartz-Doberman kennel owner and has been forced to evacuate. But you were there for the first couple of days. Were you not? Caitlin? Hi, Glenn. Yes, I was. So the derailment occurred on Friday evening, and we were there from Friday evening until Sunday evening at 8 p.m. when we were subsequently evacuated. My home and my business are both on Taggart Road, which is the road of the derailment. We have 27 acres. And from driveway to derailment is 1.2 miles.

And from the edge of the property to the derailment is less than a half a mile. And the railroad tracks actually butt up to the back of the property by 10 feet. Holy cow. So when you had the dogs in the kennel, everything was fine until they set this on fire, right? Fine. To be honest with you, the area looks like a war zone. It looks like I would assume Ukraine to look like. There's military tankers every half mile.

There's police personnel blockading roads. It's beyond anything imaginable. And it's so surreal to think that this is our home. So when you are evacuated, you immediately take all of the dogs out. But then you have horses, too, don't you? Correct. So on Sunday evening, with the help of Bearded Brothers Moving Group, which is a local moving group in Ohio,

they came with their moving trucks. We evacuated 30 dogs between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. the next morning. They were able to transport all of the cages and kennels, and I had my own vehicles to make multiple trips to transport the dogs. We had them all evacuated to a private residence by the next morning. You know, it's less than an ideal situation, but it's all we have, you know, in this time. You know, the home is not fenced. The dogs do have to live in cages because, you know, there's not an appropriate setup.

I mean, what kind of appropriate setup can you make in one evening? Yeah. So we evacuated the dogs between Sunday night and Monday morning. The original time of the controlled detonation was supposed to be 12 in the afternoon on Monday. At 11 o'clock, we were evacuating horses. I own one horse and my neighbor has eight other horses across the street. My, my horse is only six months old. She's a baby.

And we had to load these horses onto trailers. They were all upset from the noises and the banging and the, you know, just emergency personnel flying up and down the road. It was, we had a terrible time trying to get them loaded onto trailers and evacuated. And believe it or not, our local police department, specifically Officer Frederick, he actually came into the horse pastures with us and helped us move the horses out, you know, because all we knew that, you know, the controlled detonation was happening at noon. and, you know, obviously there was a chance of a catastrophic failure prior to that. So we were all just kind of, you know, wishing and hoping for the best and trying to get these animals to safety. And we did. And the controlled detonation didn't end up happening until, I believe, about 438 on Monday.

And then kind of all hell broke loose. So tell me now what happened after the explosion, because they've just come out each, EPA has come out and said, oh, it's fine. But were, were there some people that stayed or they left their animals behind? Unfortunately, some people had to leave their animals because they didn't have a place to evacuate that was, you know, animal friendly. Some people left the animals. And unfortunately, some of those animals have died. You know, there are stories of a woman with chickens.

I have spoken with her personally. Anytime there's any kind of animal death, of course, because I'm so close, I do a little more digging. And I've actually personally spoken to these people who have had herds of chickens die, who have had domestic foxes die. I have a personal friend whose family members dog went out into the yard and never came back inside a two-year-old healthy dog. my personal dogs just from the two days that that they were there and exposed to just, you know, the fire fumes and whatnot, whatever was, you know, in the air prior to the detonation. I had four dogs needing to have emergency veterinarian services because they were projectile vomiting, very lethargic. So, you know, I can't even imagine what it would be like for a human or an animal to be there during the, controlled detonation or being there now.

I can't imagine. We've had to go back a couple of times for supplies because, you know, I had to move an entire business in one evening as well as my own personal thing. And we've had to go back and going back is extremely uncomfortable. It is, you know, there's physical symptoms each and every time we go from, you know, itchy burning watery eyes, itchy burny, throat, coughing. It was a weird sensation of like your eyes pulsating.

It almost felt like your eyes had a heartbeat. Our skin was so dry that even, you know, your general moisturizers that you put on, you know, after a shower have still not resolved the problem. So I can't imagine being back there now. Our plan is to most likely not go back ever. So we're just trying to fund all these. things and trying to just figure out where life has to go from here. So what is it like on the ground today? Because there's, I mean, this detonation, you know,

happened a week ago Sunday. And the EPA is saying, oh, you can go back in. And some people are. But as you said, they're, you know, they're experiencing difficulties. Yeah. So I was there yesterday. I was continuing to grab some more. kennels for the dogs to make the situation here a little bit better. And I, you know, we couldn't stand to be there for more than 30 minutes. So I don't, I don't know how people are doing it. What I know is still, as of yesterday, it, it doesn't look like our normal town of East Palestine and Darlington, Pennsylvania. It looks like something out of a movie, like the, you know, it's, it's empty. I think the media is not appropriately displaying the fact that.

that people aren't going back. You know, some people who didn't have the financial means to stay away any longer came back, but I think anybody who had an option did not go back. Jeez. Okay, so they're now worried that all of this stuff is seeping into the water supply. And I know Pennsylvania has just closed down one of the plants, but the EPA said they had screened 291 homes near the crash. site, it is not detected any levels of vinyl chloride or hydrogen chloride.

And they said they still have to screen, but it's safe and they're not finding anything in the water. You believe that? My understanding is that, you know, I have talked with some chemical engineers and environmental services. And essentially, it's not supposed to be in the water just yet. From my understanding, the vinyl chloride is like water, and it travels through the ground and the soil like water. So, you know, being, you know, a mile, 1.2 miles away, like we are other locations within a mile, it takes time for this stuff to travel the ground. We have not had much rain. I think in the last seven days we've had one day of a little bit of rain.

they're saying that right now they're not surprised if it tests okay. But in four or five, six months from now, you know, these levels could be astronomic and that is the concern. That is my concern. That is others concerned, not to mention the fact that physically being there is uncomfortable. And, yeah, I mean, you have 20, what did you say, 26, 27 acres. This is farmland. What are people going to do?

I mean, you're not going to be able to sell this land. I mean, that's kind of why we're at a rock in a hard place right now. You know, I have a 7,500 square foot facility. I have a beautiful home. I have other buildings that I've built on the property as well. So I have a great investment into this property that now went from, you know, X amount of dollars to maybe being able to sell it for a fraction of what it's worth. Maybe, I mean, who in the right mind would buy something? something on Taggart Road right now. I couldn't imagine. So, you know, now we're faced with the

issue of little to no help from anybody. And we're faced with the issue of having to potentially own two large properties, you know, and, you know, funding and the ability to own two pieces of land and two buildings and two facilities and pay, you know, two taxes. I mean, it's going to be nearly impossible for a small business. So, Caitlin, hold on for one minute. And when I come back, I want to ask you what we can do to help. I mean, I know our audience well enough to know. And we just, we want to help.

How can we help you? We'll get that answer from you here if you have one coming up in just a second. Some people get towards the end of their work day and decide, you know what, I'm exhausted. I'm going to sit back and rest. You know, people, you know, those people. that win Super Bowls. They usually are kind of people that, you know, can sit back and relax, you know, hard work's done, right, Stee?

I've heard that. I'm not sure. Yeah. For the rest of us, being tired at work isn't as much fun. And that's why there's a solution. And I'm happy to tell you about it. Relief factor sleep. It's amazing.

Just like the regular relief factor that takes care of pain, relief factor sleep is 100% drug-free. So you will never feel whacked out. You'll never feel, you know, sleepy or groggy the next morning. You feel great. I haven't taken it in a couple of days. I think I need to take it. I've been yawning a lot lately. It will improve your mood, help promote relaxation,

reduce anxiety. It's healthy sleep. So unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800 the number four relief. That's 800 the number four relief. or go to relieffactor.com. That's relief sleep at relieffactor.com. 10 seconds, station. I do.

This is bad. We're looking at now, you know, if you want to use that land again, I think you're going to have to, I think you're going to have to dig up and take quite a bit off the top soil. Not an expert in this, obviously, but that's what I'm seeing today. Environmental Protection Agency is like, yeah, Don't worry.

I don't believe them. Can I ask you that? Do you believe them, Kaylin? So I can't comment on that, but what I can comment on is that we were told by Norfolk personnel that the agencies that were coming to our homes to test were from independent laboratories. Now, what I can tell you firsthand is that we had a gentleman from C-Tech,

which is the, you know, so-called independent laboratory. He was sitting in our driveway from the night of the derailment. And we had spoken to him, you know, just very informally. And he said that, and I quote, we follow around the railroad when they make mistakes and they are happy to have us here. And when, you know, T-TEC came to our facility to test our air, they had not offered the services of water at that point in time. They handed me a contract that essentially said that I needed to hold Norfolk, their

affiliates, not limited to, but including C-Tech, harmless of any future. You didn't sign it? Oh, of course not. Yeah, good. But unfortunately, 340 other residents did sign it. And that's where my heart just breaks for these people because we don't know the long-term repercussions of what these chemicals can do in our air, to our environments, to our homes, to our businesses, and they've signed their rights away in the hopes that they're getting help

and the right answers from these organizations. And what I can tell you firsthand is that Detect, the affiliate of Norfolk that came to test the air, was followed by the EPA. And what I can tell you is that we said, can the EPA by themselves come into our kennel? we do not sign this paper. And can they test themselves because they're a government organization that has the ability, they had the testing equipment with them? And the answer was absolutely not. Why?

I can't tell you why. I just don't know. So how could we help you? It sounds like if you could get some independent testing, that might be a help. But how could we help you? The thing is that people who have the means to stay away and stay evacuated are wanting this independent testing done. Now, I've reached out to three different independent laboratories, and they've actually reached out to me as well. Core, Atlas, and Acron, I think, if I say that correctly.

And their services, they want retainers between $15,000 and $50,000 to do these independent testing of the land, or of the air, soil, and water. Now, they do a whole reconnaissance of the property and the topography, and it's a very, you know, intense procedure and protocol. And, I mean, I think that the way is to help imminently would be to help fund these, you know, landowners and or people who have stayed evacuated and are demanding these private testing, you know, to fund essentially help us fund the private testing because, many people can't afford $15,000 to $50,000 up front.

Especially, you know, I spoke with a gentleman at core environmental services this morning, and I said, you know, these chemical engineers and people making intelligent and professional consensus are saying that this could be six to eight months to a year from now where we're going to see answers. So if we're having to pay these kinds of retainers up front and have to pay them again maybe in six months. Again, in a year, it's just not feasible for people. All right. So, Caitlin, I want you to hold on the phone. I want to get the names. If Mercury 1 won't help out on this, I'll pay for those themselves.

We'll send some help up there to get your water and your land and your air tested properly and independently. So hang on just a second, Caitlin. The Glenn Beck Program. I have some tests on you done, too. Yeah, no. Honey. Today's the last day. You can take advantage of Good Rancher's amazing Valentine's Day deal. And I know what you're thinking.

Glenn, if I order it, it won't arrive in time for a romantic dinner. Yeah. Well, you're right. It won't. But when she sees how much you saved on real good quality meat, I'm hoping she'll be fine, ish. Get a card. Flowers. What's wrong with you, man?

You can still say I love you with 100% American hand-trimed steakhouse quality meat from Good Ranchers. Over 85% of grass-fed beef in this country is imported from overseas. You can do better than that. We have to do better than that. Go to Good Ranchers.com and use my promo code, Beck, you'll get $30 off your order.

And I mean, I can already hear, oh, be mine. Oh, no, wait, that's me saying that to the steak. Ditch the usual gifts that don't cut it. Say, I'm sorry I didn't get you a gift by getting a gift of American meat at Good Ranchers.com. It's going to be a little late. Good Ranchers.com. Love is in the air and it smells like beef.

Good Ranchers.com. And what better way to say I love you than a gift of Blaze TV? BlazTV.com slash Glenn Fuego. It's Enfuego. This is the Glenn Vet program. We're glad you're here. Just talking about what's happening up in Ohio in this. I mean, it is a simple little farming town, simple little town.

And they're hit by just unreal devastation. And as I'm reading today, and I see that the EPA says, oh, you know, everything's fine. You can go in. And it's great. I know if I live there, I don't believe that. it's not that I it's not that I think

that it's wrong I just don't believe them I don't believe the government and let me ask you something isn't Joe Biden Mr. train set isn't he Mr. Amtrak had the keys to the Amtrak

didn't he yeah he had the keys to Amtrak he has given more money to the railroads than any other politician I think ever all the way back to Abraham Lincoln when they drove the golden spike. The guy was friends with the maintenance staff. He was buddies with every.

He knew everybody by their first name. He just did a big deal with the, uh, uh, to get the, uh, railroad unions, not to strike. That's right. He navigated that crisis. Right. With tact. Where is he on this one? Where is he on this one?

Let this is a, letting mayor Pete take the heat for it. Yeah. And where is Mayor Pete on it? Doing the terrible job. always does because he was a diversity hire. So the only thing that I can see from Mayor Pete is that he was out yesterday, given a speech about how, you know, construction companies needed to hire more black workers. What does that have to do with transportation?

What does that have to do with transportation? He has this huge train pile up. It looks like it's from a broken or overheated axle. The only statement that I have seen from the White House is that that was Trump's fault. Oh, wait, the axle was, wait, what? Yeah, it was Trump's fault. Because Obama had said, you need to have different breaks and upgrade the brakes. and Trump took that and got rid of that law.

Okay. I'm sure he didn't go in and it was like, uh, whatever you do, I want unsafe breaks on all of the trains. That had to be an executive order on both sides. No, and God only knows what that executive order else was loaded with.

The other thing too is when you say you want to spend a lot of money on everything, when eventually some of that money isn't spent, you can just say, well, we wanted to spend more money on that and you wouldn't let us, right? It's always that extra $4 that would have saved them. How many infrastructure projects have we done? I know. I am so. All right.

And I hear the press. This is our infrastructure. This is our falling apart infrastructure. How much more money do you need? How much I want the big number. stop biting around the edges and going, hey, dad, can I just have a little bit more? I want to know what it will cost.

I want to know that number. I am sick and tired of hearing about our crumbling infrastructure. And then we pass the largest infrastructure bill of all time. And then four years later, I hear about our crumbling infrastructure. And we're passing the biggest budget for infrastructure of all. time again. And then, a few years later, I hear about our crumbling infrastructure. Give me the number. I want the number. I'd like to know what you're doing. Is anybody here yet? Is anybody at this point saying, how much are you claiming this is going to be? Because they've already done it with global warming.

know, what is it, $150 trillion? To do what they're saying is $150 trillion. Give us that number. How much is the infrastructure to stop it from crumbling? And you know what? Pete Buttigieg, you're a joke. You're an absolute joke. Where are you?

Why are you not in the hard hat? At least getting some photo ops down at the site. Why are you not in the hard hat? Why don't you have suit on your face? It'd be good for your camera. I swear to you, people don't actually care. These people in Washington, oh, no, we care for your children more than you care for your children.

Do you now? Where are you for the children from this town that haven't gone to school that are living in a motel, some of them probably living in their car? Where are you on the children? Wow, Glenn, you are just forgetting about. the bipartisan infrastructure bill that we just passed last year. And, you know, the good thing about that is that it couldn't have passed except for the wonderful, loving help of 10 Republicans who came on board to help in the Senate.

What an incredible group. Should we go through some of their names? I don't know. It just feels like maybe just, I'm not going to go through all of them. All 10 would be too much. Too much. Too much. And I know they all deserve so much credit.

But let me just highlight a few names for you. Kevin Kramer of North Dakota. let me give you Roger Wicker of Mississippi and Mitt Romney of Utah I want to highlight those three names Oh Deb Fisher as well of Nebraska I want to highlight those four names specifically because they're all up for re-election in 2024

And now it would be the time to find a good primary challenger against them If you happen to think that working with Joe Biden On his new train set was not the most The best use of your $1.1 trillion Maybe that would be a time to think about that because we can all complain about it later and sure we can all complain about Mitch McConnell and some of the other names on this list and there are some to complain about but those three you can do something about right now right now four it was four I believe

Fisher's a little bit more of a borderline case overall perhaps but the other three aren't their voting records suck and Kevin Kramer uh Mitt Romney certainly Roger wicker and Deb Fisher all in states that are red that you can absolutely win the general election with a good conservative challenger. They're not. Mitt Romney's popularity among Republicans in Utah is 41%. There's no reason you can't knock him off in a primary.

Let's do it. This is the time to do it. Now's the time, everybody. Well, I believe it was Mitt Romney that also helped bring the the Inflation Reduction Act into play as well. I'm going to show you some things, too.

And I want you to come over here to stand just stand next to me here for a second. I want you to read it. Well, you know, you actually can read it on the screen back there. All right. This is from the Inflation Reduction Act, okay? 150% payout. High efficiency electric home rebate program. Propreation.

Funds go to state energy offices and Indian tribes. In addition to amounts otherwise available, there is appropriated to the Secretary for fiscal year 2022 out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated to carry out a program to award grants to state energy offices to develop and implement high efficiency electric home rebate programs in accordance with subsection C, $4,275 million to remain available for the rebate. That's $4 billion. $4 billion, 275 billion. Okay, $4 billion. That would be, that would be, that would be, that would be, thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. $4 billion, $275 million to award grants to Indian tribes to develop and implement high energy electric home. Notice it's not gas. It's not high efficiency. It's high efficiency electric home. The rebate in accordance with subsection C, that is $225 billion for, for, for, the, you need to

$25 million. God, it's a lot of money, it's a lot of money. I'm sorry. It's a lot of money. I'm sorry. And the aliens do get confusing. I just get lost with the anyway, a ton of money and it's all in there. Plus, some more things we're going to be showing you that when they all come together, they are dismantling

our electrical abilities. They're dismantling our electric generation plants. Okay? And they're incentivizing this, not just here, but your tax dollars are going all over the world to convince governments to shut down their electric coal electric plants. And they get money just for shutting them down. And they want to shut down the stuff that was created to replace the previous shutdowns, which is natural gas. Correct. You want to get rid of that too. This is, these people do not care about your family. They do not care.

I know that sounds horrible and harsh, but there is no other way to explain it. Now, I'm not saying they cause the train derailment by any stretch of the imagination. But where is the government with, you know, if I have good buddies in the train industry and I'm the president of the United States, when they come, this is what they did. They offered $25,000 to help move the town. So we got $25,000.

Anybody need any help? We got you covered. Really? I call as the President of the United States to say, hey, Jack, my good buddy, that I've been there forever, take care of these people. Do it right. Set the example.

Good Lord. Ron DeSantis built a bridge in what? a weekend after a hurricane built a bridge. We still can't put the fire out. We're still, I don't know. I don't know what we're doing. We got people living everywhere. But I'm sure the air is fine.

It's really despicable. And you as American citizens should, you need to clock this one. Put that. Okay, that's how they treat us. Okay. All right. That's how much we make a difference. You watch.

They're going to start making a difference. now because the media is on it. Back in a minute. Standing up for what you believe in is really challenging, but there are basic things that you can do, like buying from companies that believe what you and I believe. And it's hard sometimes.

Glenn Beck Program. Hey, some really, really good news that has come in yesterday once again from Florida. It appears as though our good friend in Florida has actually now taken on ESG in a big way. He is now abolishing any kind of ESG standards from banking or anything else in use in Florida. I mean, this is the kind of bold action that will actually take it apart. This is the biggest news we've had on ESG since we started talking about ESG, and it's coming from DeSantis. That's great. Now, is this, are you talking about, is it just state funding or is it there some additional component to this? I'm looking for the story now to make sure I get it right, because you know me, DeSantis. Here it is. Proposing legislation to prohibit state and local governments from including any environmental, social, or governance considerations in any environmental,

investment. The comprehensive anti-ESG legislation previewed Monday at an event in Naples. The plans build off the previous actions that the governor has taken and would prohibit the use of ESG in all investment decisions at the state and local level, ban state and local entities from any consideration of ESG in the contracting process and block state and local governments from weighing ESG when using municipal bonds. Okay. So it's government related, which is, you know, I think the limits. of his power there probably anyway. Yeah.

That's really good. And it seems to address the ES and G here, not just the E, which has been kind of a problem. He said by applying arbitrary ESG financial metrics that serve no one except the companies that created them, elites are circumventing the ballot box to implement a radical ideological agenda. Through this legislation, we will protect the investments of Floridians and the ability of Floridians to participate in the economy. This is fantastic.

That's great. I think this is as far as you can go. He has gone every possible way he could go. And you see, with his stature in this race right now, which is 1A, 1B, you know, with Donald Trump, really seemingly in the Republican race, it's that, he's to that point now where he just wrestles these headlines. Like, even though we've talked to a bunch of people. around the country who've tried to do things. Some of them been really impressive. But like,

Desantis does it and it's now Desantis's thing, right? Like he is able, it was just like with the immigrants being sent to Martha's Vineyard. Like other states were already doing stuff like that. He does it and it just wrestles the entire issue. I mean, it just seems like he is, you know, this is, this is his year. If he's going to have a year to win this president, to win the nomination, this definitely seems like it. So did you hear that the, Premier of Quebec Francois Le Gault He has now said

That The mayor of New York City Eric Adams Has got to stop busing people to Montreal I love the stuff I mean is this crazy I mean

Texas gets him up to New York And everybody says Oh the humanity how could you possibly do that And what does the Democrats Do you put them on a bus and send them across the border up into Canada. Eventually, like Santa Claus is going to be like, how are all these immigrants getting here? Really a few weeks away from that.

The elf unions, it'll be ugly, ugly, ugly. 60% of the vans on Amazon come to vander independent, like Sac Magic. Hello, here Camille, of Sac, Magic. We compresses chode-froddened here even, in the same, with the tissue that we can't get a Montreal and the avione that pusses on Sagney.

Our presence on Amazon enlarge our basin of clientele to the world entire. Sack magic, is the compress that everyone prefer. At from here, we're grandee.

Trouvey to find of little enterprises like the on oner.ca. What you're about the fusion of

entertainment and enlightenment, this is the Glennback program. So another politician throws their hat into the ring. We'll talk about that

coming up in a minute, And let me ask you, have you ever had a disagreement with something, with someone, and it's fact-based? And you know the fact. You just can't find it anywhere. And it goes on for years. And the guy you're working with every day will bring it up from time to time. And you're like, you don't know. You don't have the facts.

And then he'll say, well, you don't have anything either. Today is the day after a almost 20-year argument between me and Stu. Really? Today's the day of reckoning, my friend. Oh, no. Yeah. This sounds terrible. Oh, yeah.

You're not hanging this around my neck anymore. Oh, I'm hanging around your neck. Oh, wow. Oh, yeah. Okay, that's coming up in 60 seconds. This is scary. Yeah, well. It was scary what your people did to Philadelphia, too,

over the weekend. They were under control, I thought. A couple cars turned over. Come on. All right, let me tell you about Goldline. I've been telling you about Goldline for quite some time, but really, we are, let's just say possibly running out of time for you to do your homework on this.

Who was it yesterday we were talking about? Oh, it was Robert Kawasaki, a guy who wrote Rich Dad, Poor Dad. He predicted that silver is going to hit $75 per ounce this year. Now, I don't know what he knows, that I don't know, but maybe it's just that he knows what I know, and it's bad enough. He says gold will reach $3,800. By the end of this year, if that's true, we're at war. We're a war. Goldline right now has the new Mayflower Silver Round, which I help design.

they love their clients, they're giving it away, the quarter ounce gold Mayflower round, you'll get it for free with every box of silver Mayflower rounds purchased. No limit to the number eligible. You're not going to find these free gold promotions anywhere else. Call Goldline. Take advantage of this special before they sell out at 866 Goldline, 866 Goldline or goldline.com.

So, Stu. Yes, Glenn. you're familiar with the space needle I am familiar with the space needle you're familiar with the Seattle yeah it's in Seattle right by where you grew up absolutely you had a high level of knowledge in fact you taught me almost everything I knew

yeah about the space needle many many stories over the years about the space now and you notice you emphasize stories of the space needle yes yes that's that is what I am because I told you the story one time that I was very small and I was in what they call the torchlight parade in Seattle. And I look up

and I thought the space needle was on fire. Okay? Yeah, I remember this. Remember that? And you said, really? That's incredible.

And I believed it for a very long time. And I said, well, it has gas jets. And they don't use them anymore. But they have gas jets and they can set the needle on fire. I don't know if they still can, but they did at one time.

They said it on fire. Well, no, they just ignite the gas flame. Okay. So that was kind of a cool moment teaching Stu something. He didn't know. It was. It was incredible. And I told the story to other people. Yeah.

And then he said, that's not true. Well, that's an interesting way of telling that story. How do you remember it? We went to the space needle and asked the people who worked at the space needle and they said no. Yeah, because that guy didn't know what he was talking about. What do you mean? He didn't know what he was talking about. There's a lot of people. about all the space needle.

How many times have you been someplace where you know more than the person giving the tour and you're like, okay, that person needs a shut up. Kids, kids, kids, get away from that guy. He doesn't know what he's talking about. That, that, my friend, is what happened. And you never, you have always pitted some stranger's word against me. The stranger who was employed by the space deal to give you history about the space needle. I found the plans.

of the space needle. You've been looking for... I have been looking... Two decades. Two decades. I'd just like to show you there up on the screen. You'll see aircraft warning beacon. Natural gas torch.

Gas burner. Then it goes into the building. The gas torch is the needle. Now, I want to first point out that your Beef is with the space needle employees. No, it's with you. It's with you. I don't have any dog in this fight other than to torture you for being wrong about it.

I know, I know. But like, and it's bothered me that you believe some stranger. We got on the elevator. And I'm like, don't listen to that guy. He doesn't know he's talking about. And you went, he works here. And I'm like, yeah.

And probably sometimes he makes corn dogs too. That's, first of all, not how that, what happened at all. But also. The fact that they... That's the way I remember it. That's the way America remembers it. But this is at the top of the space deal, which is not where you said that... Yes, it is.

On the needle. And then you said something about it being fireworks. You thought maybe it was fireworks that you saw. Because you made me doubt myself. Oh, wow. You have caused so much damage in my life. And this is just setting the record straight. So...

That you don't know. You don't. No, never have known that bastard. The Space Needle, if I knew his name, I'd call him today. Oh, yeah! Here are the plans. Pretty sure it was the lead historian of the Space Needle. That's who we were talking about.

Really, the lead historian is just up by the elevators. He was a guy that would say, going down, that was his job. Lead historian. And I believe it was you who even asked to confirm. Because I said, that's, wow, it's fascinating. And you asked to confirm. and he said no to your face that that did not happen. But you did find the plans now.

Do you know that this is the way number, I guess my follow-up question. Stop your questions. You obviously have the answers to him, but like they did wind up actually doing this. You've confirmed that and also that the event occurred. Both of those things you've confirmed. Stu, I'm not even going to dignify that. I'm not even going to dignify that. Okay.

Wait. I am busy doing the people's work, all right? I don't have time to make calls to the space needles. to see if they actually did it to the plans. You don't have time. Do you have 20 years to look for the plans? How could I have possibly seen that when I was a kid if they hadn't put it up? I know I saw it.

There's a hundred other stories in which you say you saw stuff and you didn't see it. I mean, we can go through those. But I remember the day I saw Stu as a friend. Yeah. I remember that day. I don't want to make sure you don't have time to call them, but you have it because you have other things to do. But on a day where there's like a new presidential candidate being announced, you wanted to start an hour with your space.

I have waited two decades. Two decades. Yeah. So now, here you are, an older gentleman. And you realize that all the things that you believe based on my knowing the space needle or not, it's all a house of cards, Stu, all a house of cards. I remember there was those shirts that fans made. What if Glenn Beck was right?

Maybe that was about the space needle. Oh, it was. When I had them printed, it was. It was. It absolutely was. Okay, so now we just need to take the next step and we'll work on that to try to confirm any of the facts that Glenn has and we'll see. So you don't believe the blueprints? I believe the blueprints.

But I mean, there's multiple other factors. Like, what did the torch, what was it supposed to do? Did it make it look like it was on fire? Was it set off at the time? There's a giant gas flame on the roof of the space needle. That's not what the plan say. It just says gas torch. We don't know what that means.

What do you think? It's a little teeny torch? It could be a teeny torch. A teeny torch. Yeah. Right. Why would you put a teaky torch? Maybe that was the first Charlottesville protest.

No wonder you liked it so much. All right. Could we please get to business about? Oh, yes. I'm so sorry. This was just supposed to be a quick mention. And you turned it into a national nightmare. All right.

So Nikki Haley comes. out yesterday. Not a surprise. This morning, I believe. Is it this morning? I thought it was I thought it came out this morning, yeah. Really? I got an alert. Let me see the blueprints of your alert. No, I'm asking. I don't have, I'm

thought it was this morning. I got an alert this morning that told me she released her video. So, uh, her video. Yeah, she had a big announcement video. You know, kind of telling people who she was and her history. I thought maybe it was another kind of video. I mean, usually people try to get attention and they release

videos and you're like, okay, you shouldn't have done that. Well, you don't do that to become president. You do that to become a billionaire. That's a totally different. Is it the way to the billionaire is not through the White House? These days. All right. So, Nikki Haley, and that's really not a surprise. But she's in the race? Yeah. Yeah. No, not surprised. She was, you know, definitely tipping her hand that she wanted to get involved.

And, you know, reports that she talked to Trump about this because she initially said she would not run against Trump. It seems like they had a conversation at one point. She's a serious person and someone who's been talked about in this in this conversation for a while, a couple of elections, was a pretty good governor of South Carolina. I think she was a great governor. She was a great U.N. Secretary General. No, not Secretary.

What do they call it? Ambassador to the U.N. She was a great ambassador to the U.N. She never questioned me on the Space Needle. It's in her video. She actually says, by the way. I'd be anxious to talk to her about what's going on with balloons, what's going on with China, the Nord Stream Pipeline, all of that. Yeah.

I think we are headed for, I think we're headed for war, and we may be in it by the end of the year. Russia is putting together a massive assault for spring. Everyone's like, oh, well, nothing's been happening. It's because it's snow and muddy and cold. I don't know, Hitler learned that lesson. Now's not the time to go in and attack. But when the spring comes, Russia's going in, I think, guns ablazing. Yeah.

And it seems like they've made progress even though it's been cold. They've been, you know, it felt like for a while Ukraine was really had the momentum behind them. And it seems like that stopped and maybe reversed a little bit lately. So yeah, that would be interesting. to talk to her. She obviously has some expertise in that area. And I mean, like, we talked about this a little bit, I think, on Studez America a few weeks ago. But like you have on the

Republican side a number 1A and a 1B, if you will, depending on what you believe in the polls, Trump and DeSantis. And like, there's a good chance that there's a third person who at least makes some noise in this race. Somebody

gets to double digits in a couple polls. Give me, give me the example. Give me the example. outside of DeSantis and Trump. Give me the example. You want like a potential field list? Yeah, you think that you're like, this person could, you know, this person could rock the world. Now, I want to alert you who you're listening right now.

This is coming from a guy who denied that the space needle had a gas torch up at the top for almost two decades. Almost two decades. By the way, definitely not two decades. Not even close. Oh, yeah. And then let me tell you something else. he'll just take advice from like elevator people people you just meet you come off the elevator and you're like hey let's ask this guy this is what he thinks of you america you're elevator people

you're working hard for a living getting building i'm sorry but if you have to wear a hat and a polyester like you know disney monorail suit right i'm not going to put a lot of stock into what you say wow okay well now we're learning so much about you okay well none of those no one one in this field is dressed that way. So you can take them. So let me give you a list. Just to go outside of my own preferences here, we'll go to the top 10 Republican presidential candidates from the Washington Post.

Who do they think? From the Washington Post. You want some honorable mentions first? Marco Rubio. Okay. Josh Hawley. Tom Cotton. Rick Scott.

Uh-huh. Liz Cheney. Asa Hutchinson. Larry Hogan, Governor of a former governor. No. Former governor. I think the golfer might be good. Larry Hogan, former governor of Maryland.

Greg Abbott, Texas governor. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, very highly rumored to run, by the way. That one probably will be a reality. What the hell is he thinking? What is he thinking? I mean, why that's a very deep question. I know. I mean, what is he ever thinking?

I don't know. I'm going to be closer to a donut shop if I win. What is he thinking? It could be. Who's going to vote for Chris Christie? I think... Hang on, I'm just listening. No one from the Chris Christie family even responded to that one.

No, no. No, I mean, Christy is, I think, you know, Christie thinks he should have run back with that one, when he was first coming onto the scene, and he had a chance maybe to make some noise, did not wind up running, and then tried to run later and obviously did nothing. He then became super tight with Trump for a time and then had a breakup with Trump.

So now he's going to be, I guess, the one of the in the anti-trump sort of wing when you're talking about Hogan or Liz Cheney he seems like that's going to be his approach we will see if there's I mean I think I do think there's a good chance he runs I think he wants the spotlight he really likes people talking about him he likes the cameras so and we stop with those kinds of people and again like he should like audio not not camera if he wants the attention get it in audio form just like and we say that how we got in the business we say that as fat people yeah so 100%

you know, there's no, you know, it's, it's not like we hate fat people. I mean, we do hate ourselves for being fat.

So does that count as hating fat people? Yeah. All right. Also, John Bolton, Doug Deucey. Hang on just a second.

What is John Bullton? Those are all honorable mentions. What is John Bolton's, what would his campaign slogan be war? Bigger war now? Again, I promise you, your kids will die in a foreign

It's so bizarre because I might remind you that Donald Trump promoted him to one of the highest profile positions to deal with such topics. No, no, no, no, but wait. But he was great. I thought he's great if you have a president that is so anti-war. Because he'll come in and go, you've got to go to war. Right. Like, for example, he had a lot of influence on, what's this, the guy in Iran that they went after. Yeah. And that was, I think, a good set of. I think it was. A good influence. So, you know, there are. are times a president has to go to war and if he's a real dove, it's good. I think that's why he balances. Trump always has balanced, you know, his advisors with people that don't necessarily agree with him. Agree with them. It's the greatest job ever. You're the greatest president. But don't necessarily

agree with his policies in lockstep. And Bolton, I think, really does want to be president, does believe he would be a good president. But it strikes me as more of a Lindsey Graham, 2016 type of run when like the national topic is not really international issues somehow even though there's a big war I know but I mean this might be the calculation right if if the Ukraine

Russia thing goes out of control we might be looking for a big hawk I will tell you I'll tell you right now that I said this in 2006 and everybody said I was crazy I said the 2008 election is all going to be about the economy it's going to be there's a crash coming and it's about the economy

the 2024 election is going to be about war and your money. That's what it's going to be about. Back in just a second. Okay, you're stranded on a desert island in the middle of nowhere. No phone, no lights, no motor cars. Not a single luxury. Okay, it's not a drill.

There's. Not a thousand year Reich. His fourth Reich is like a 120-day Reich. Do you want the top 10 here? Yeah, go. Okay. 10. Christy Nome.

Probably will run. Yep. She'll be running for vice president, I think. Go ahead. Chris Sununu, number nine. What? This is again, to control over to the Washington Post. Number eight, Nikki Haley.

Yeah. Number seven, Mike Pompeo. Six, Ted Cruz. What? Five. I mean, he's always up. He's always in that upper tier of the lower tier in the pole. Don't do it, Ted.

Don't do it. Five, Glenn Yonkin. No. No. This is an interesting first sentence, which I do agree with. The lessons of Chris Christie loom large here. Yes. For Yonkin.

It is a good point. Like, you kind of got a little bit of the, when you won that race, do you wait? Wait. Do something. Well, if he waits, though, the lesson of Chris Christie is, it never comes all around. Your chance never comes. Four, Mike Pence. Three, Tim Scott.

Two, Donald Trump. One, Ron DeSantis. Now, that's according to watching. Post, which has the former president and second here. The only ones that have any chance in that field, I think. I'm not even saying to win, but give me it like, who's the guy who breaks out to third, or the lady

who breaks out to third? Who's the person who makes noise? Give it again to me? Real quick. Pence, Scott, Yonkin, Cruz, Haley, Pompeo, Sununu. Scott, Pompeo, uh, Noah and maybe know him. Maybe

Haley. Yeah. But she's in the conversation to be that, to be that third person. That's probably what you're fighting for right now. And because she is focused, you know, she's been a governor so she understands the state level, but she's also been on the international level. She could play an important role, at least in the debate. But, you know, as a president or vice president, she could play a real role if she's, get business done, but we're not going to go fight foreign wars kind of president. But we have to get somebody who knows how to stop wars once they've started for 2024.

Because this one, the fuse has already been lit, I fear. The Glenn Beck program. Today is Valentine's Day. Today is Valentine's Day. Oh, crap. Okay. Remind me. Will you have that in a little while?

Anyway, pre-born pregnancy network has rescued so far 200,000. babies, 200,000 babies, saving babies, it is the greatest joy of our life, our children. And I think the greatest thing we could ever do is save children from the slaughter of abortion. And preborn does it in a very loving way. All they do is they show moms, potential moms, their baby with a ultrasound, and they hear the heartbeat. Now, these are moms who come in and say, I'm thinking about having an abortion. They show them the ultrasound.

It costs $28. They don't make the mom pay for it. They just do it for free. And it's about 80% chance that she chooses life after that. $28. Could you please donate $28 or more or even less? Doesn't matter. Can you help save some babies today?

Right.

They'd roll it out. Oh, it's a balloon. Yeah. We found a couple of balloons. Oh, lots of balloons. Hey, no big deal. We're just firing $500,000 missiles at balloons. I think these balloons are the performers from Rihanna that just kind of floated away.

Oh, no. The poor people who floated away. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's a possibility. Could I show you one thing? Then we'll go back to politics here in a second.

But I want to show you something that people recorded, and it was recorded by the Subaru-A-Sai Star Camera in Hawaii. And it was Japanese-operated telescope, Big Island. and it showed lasers, lasers. Okay, so this is out in the middle of nowhere. There you can see. Okay, see the lasers? Yeah. Okay.

They're clearly coming down. Right? I would think so, yes. They're coming down from the sky. Not necessarily, though. You don't know for sure. It could be going up. But either way, it would be very bizarre.

Yeah, they would all have to be. Yeah, they would all have to. to be pointed as if they're looking like they're coming because they're they're sweeping like a hand of a clock like a tic-tock you know what I mean so it appears it's coming from the same place up in the sky or they're all just aimed but that's quite a distance okay and so people took this video and the the telescope people took it and they're like um what's that the telescope people said that? What exactly is that? Now

here is the explanation. Weather balloon? No. No. They are saying that this is a NASA satellite that has lasers aboard that from time to

time measure the Earth's surface. Now I would think that if it was measuring the earth's surface and it's looking for ice, water features, coral reefs, ocean waves, snow cover, forests, farmland, we would have seen that NASA laser before.

Right, because it would be all over the place. Right. It'd be like, oh, they're just upstairs measuring again. Right. Right. They might make an announcement, advance say by the way this is the week we're doing that at home we're gonna we got our laser tools out right okay we just we just want to make sure 16 inches is really 16 inches between the studs

we're just gonna laser map the earth I haven't seen that before I wanted to bring that up and ask you if you've seen I have never never never heard of that I have never heard of that yeah you know they is it possible that they that it's true sure oh yeah sure it's very yeah Very odd. And I've never seen anything like that before. That's incredible. Now, let me ask you, how many times, well, I was going to say a week, a day, do you find yourself saying, no, I've never heard of that before. I never seen anything like that before. Many, many times per day. Like a disturbing amount of times, right? But I want the audience to know, because I don't want you to panic that this is a man who claimed that there were no gas jets on the top of the. a space needle for years, decades, even. Are you claiming that these lasers were caused by the space needle?

Is that your case? I would not be surprised. No, the space needle is actually supposed to look like a spaceship. You know, it was for the 62 Worlds Fair, so it's like a big spaceship kind of thing up there. And I think that's maybe where the lasers came from. Giant balloons that look like balloons, but they're actually spaceships. So the way, the flame would be on the top of the point of the spaceship. I don't know. Okay. I don't know all the facts about the space needle.

Oh, we just heard it on record. Can you pull that audio? I don't know all the facts about the space needle. Interesting admission 20 years later. Oh, man, I will know it now tomorrow. I'll know them all. It's like the fact that I've sent you on this. Yeah, 20 years journey. Okay. So could we just go back to that list and talk about the things. Do you agree or disagree that? that it is likely, if not most likely, we will have a change in currency before or near the time of 2024. Wow. You're saying the digital dollar. Yeah. They just announced it last week.

To me, I look at that as different than a change in currency. Like, I think they will say that they will essentially make the case. that's an additive, right? Like a wonderful benefit, a new thing you can try, anything you can use. But I don't think of that as a change. Okay, so you think we'll still have the green back,

but we will, okay, okay. Do you believe that there's, it's likely, if not most likely, that we will be in war by 2024? I really hope that's not the case. I think the, because I haven't not put a percentage on it in my head. To me, the issue here is,

if you're at 5% chance of war, with Russia. You're talking about such a terrible outcome. Catastrophic. That it should be your number one priority to make sure that doesn't occur. Sure. I don't think they're doing that. No, it does not seem like they're interested in that at all.

Seems like they might be going the other way. But that's just from my perspective. No, I think your perspective is accurate. And I'm a guy who hasn't ever seen the laser measuring of the world before. So what do I know? I'm a shut in. If you're talking about, is it over 50%? I think I would say no to that.

I think I would say no, that we're at war with Russia. But I mean, I'm not, the fact that I'm not saying it's zero or 0.1% is, is very scary to me. And China, we're, we're just at a cold war with China by that time. Yeah, I mean, you're talking about active shooting wars, right? Like, I would make the argument right now. We're in a cold war. In a cold war. Yeah.

Okay. Honestly. So, yeah, absolutely with both of them. Now, real quick, economy doing well. probably not probably not yeah doesn't seem to me inflation numbers did not look at that by the way of these people

are are able to give people a sense of okay this guy's an adult he's going to handle it this guy is going to handle it okay um I mean I think that would be the case of Nikki Haley right I mean someone who has foreign affairs

experience someone who has you know executive experience as well does she have experience like like somebody has to have experience with the economy as well. This would be the case, I think. And Haley ran a state. I mean, you know, is going to mistake.

So Pompeo, I think, would get, would get you to that first one. I think that would be a case he would make that he has that expertise. I think Pence would make that case. Pence says both. Again, you look at every one of these polls. He's the number three guy in the polls. Because everybody knows his name. Everybody knows his name.

That's a big part of the battle. It's a big part of the battle. But if you want a campaign that has the turnout that looks like a Joe Biden COVID campaign, he would go with Mike Pence. I just don't see people rallying around. I mean, his case is clearly, everything you liked about the Trump administration

without the January 6th he didn't like. That's essentially his campaign. But I'm not convinced that Pence was really in the room on, you know, let's just do it. Let's go bold and big. Let's do it. No, I think that's true. And I think the things that he would,

argue are his strong points from the Pence perspective is hey like I'm going to do all this without the tweeting right like that's his case I'm going to do all this without the tweeting without the crazy rallies I don't think I'm like I don't think it's going to work because I think the people who really

really there's a section of people who liked the Trump policies but you know Trump he was a vessel to get you to a good Supreme Court right like there's a lot of those people out there if you're super passionate about Trump he's already running you don't need a guy

who wasn't Trump to be your Trump. It's only the appeal for Pence is only like if you really love Trump but only didn't like the fact that he tweeted a lot. No, I just don't think that's a huge group there. I think that's the case for DeSantis. I think DeSantis is more likely

to be tough as nails like Trump was than Pence. And he's already got the but I don't do the crazy tweets at night. And I think too that DeSantis case is more broad than Pence. I think Pence is so closely tied to Trump. You have to be in love with the Trump administration to want Pence, but then also

Trump has told you he basically hates Mike Pence. Right. So where's the road? There's a schizophrenic Trump supporter that is like, I really, really love Pence and I really, really love Donald Trump, except for the one thing he said about pants. It's not. There's just no road there to me. The road you might find there, honestly, is Pence thinking he wants someone else to be president that's not Donald Trump and thinking if he can pull 8 to 10% in these early primaries away from Trump.

It might help someone like DeSantis or somebody else beat Trump. I can see that being his actual idea if he goes through with us, which is not confirmed yet, by the way. Well, they're very could. I mean, you know, the the GOP is absolutely not. above doing to Trump what they did to Hillary Clinton, where you just cobble everybody together and say, everybody just come out and be for this one person. You know what I mean? Yeah.

That could very well happen. Other names on this list. Obviously, this is essentially Bolton's entire case, which I will take this seriously, and I will be the guy you want on national security. You have also both, I would say Rubio, Holly, and Tom Cotton have versions of this. argument. You know, both of them, all three of them have been active in this area. That's about it. I mean, that's a bunch of people, but I don't think with serious, a serious chance, and obviously, I should also mention Donald Trump would be a guy who would be, who would say, I was able to shut these things down when I was president and I had a good record on the economy. I mean, this is going to be central to his argument. Donald Trump only is the only one that has the credibility to say, yep, I did that to the.

the economy after they said the economy could never grow. And I did that to the economy. And I stopped all those wars. Yeah. He's the only one that has the credibility. However, he's also the only one that has been smeared for, you know, 10 years now and made into a horrible monster. I'm not sure if you can get the swing vote for Donald Trump now just because of what the press has done to him.

Yeah. And I think, look, Donald Trump is such, he's elevated. a thousand levels above celebrity president at this point. He is just an argument in and of himself. His name is an argument. And so, like, it's, I don't think Donald Trump wins or loses the presidency right now based on policy. And I don't like that. I don't like that's where America is.

But like, I think right now that it's going to come down to him as a brand, whether you like him or you don't like him. And that's really what there's going to be the decision on that. Whether the Republicans say, I want that or not. Let me just end this section of the program here with the way we started this section of the program. Have you ever seen this before? Sure. Chinese authorities have now announced that they saw and have spotted a UFO.

They were preparing to shoot the object down, but they are urging fishermen in the vicinity just to be. safe. So we now have the Chinese going, I mean, I was seeing a flying, it could be, I don't know if they're measuring the earth or what. You ever heard

that before? No. Yeah. No, I. Neither and I. All right. Relief factor, such an amazing product, so many different aches and pains it can help you with, and it certainly helped me for years. However, there is that pain that even relief factor can't touch.

It's the pain you get when you watch all of your hopes and dreams for the Super Bowl outcome just melt in front of your eyes. I mean, can you imagine the pain? Sarah, can you imagine the pain somebody like that? Was that dumb to just go like, they're going to do it again? Oh, boy, that pain just doesn't go away. But relief factor can help pretty much everything else but that because that's deep neurological pain. really. Three-week quick start 1995. It's a trial

pack. Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor. Many Eagles fans are trying to order it now, but it doesn't work for that. Relieffactor.com call 1-800 for relief, 1-800-4 relief, or relieffactor.com. Join the conversation.

888-727. Back. The Glenn Beck Program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. So Joe Biden, I mean, Glenn Beck, I wanted to ask you a question. Wait, what? Just a quick question. No, it's just, you're reminding me of somebody else today.

Yeah, probably because you're questioning everything you thought you knew. You were rooting for the Eagles, they lose. And then the space needle thing. The space needle thing. Yeah, and it's important to ask questions. So what year again did you say this happened when you saw this? I don't know. I just remember seeing as a kid.

What year were you born again? 64. 64. That's interesting. Yeah. Because the, uh, the, 1962 World's Fair, of course, was the, was the Seattle sword deal. The, the, the flame you've been talking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Called the needle of flame. Needle of flame. The natural gas torch producing the flame was between 40 and 50 feet tall. There it is. Said to have burned enough fuel to heat 125 homes. Yeah. The purpose, not to look like a spaceship, but of course, to show how we'd all be using natural gas as well as to act to as a giant,

you gotta be kidding me. as a giant clock to the fair turning on every quarter hour. But this part was the part I found to be most interesting, which was the apparatus was removed following the conclusion of the World's Fair. No, it's not possible. So why, how did he see it in 1960, at least 64? No. He's remembering it.

So what, 6970 maybe? I'm just telling you I saw it. This is what happened last time. This is what happened last time. We should go back and ask the guy in the elevator. Oh my gosh. What does he think about this? Okay.

Huh, this is exactly what Joe Biden does. I need. I remember. Walking in those civil rights marches. I remember it. I'm telling you, I was marching in the torchlight parade and I sighed. Telling you. And I hope I hope people heard what he just said about Charlottesville.

He was marching in the torchlight parade. That's a guy. Wait a minute. How did this whole thing turn around on me? How? Give me this. The Eagles really lost. I have to really live with that.

All right. We will see you tomorrow. The Glenn Back program.
