It's going to be an interesting conversation that we have with him. Also, is it time for a national divorce? We preview tonight's Wednesday night special. William Shatner is being shot into. space in about half an hour. And we want to start in Loudoun County. It's a funny headline to just drop it.

It's true though. It's accurate. There was a time that that would really stand out as the story of the day. Yeah, no. Not really. It's kind of an add-on throwaway. We begin in 60 seconds. I got a really sweet note from Judith. She wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor. She says, my name is Judith. I started taking Relief Factor about two months ago. this stuff is fantastic.

Be there this month. Make sure you're in attendance. Even if you have nothing to say, I quite honestly, even if you don't have kids in school,

just go to the school board meeting. It is time for the people of America to stand up. And the biggest impact you have been making right now is locally with the school boards. you are winning and that is why they're sending the FBI after people. Now, the reason why they sent the FBI is because, well, the Biden administration actually asked the school boards to write and ask for FBI help. Did you know that? So they were using Loudoun County really as the place where terroristic threats were made,

even though there's not terroristic threats, but one of the guys that was cited was the, we now know, the dad of a girl that went into a bathroom and a boy that says he's transgendered bisexual. He comes in wearing a skirt sometimes, went into the bathroom, and he raped this 15-year-old girl. It is a ugly, ugly sexual assault. Well, the school board covered that up and they knew all about it and they wouldn't say anything about it. And that's when the dad walked into the school board meeting and he stood up and he was about to speak and about to say what he was going to say. And some liberal came up to him and said, I don't believe your daughter. and he kind of went a little nuts, as I think all of us would.

And she was just being really nasty. She immediately called the police over and he was taken out in handcuffs. That's the video that we've seen a million times. That's the viral video out of Loudoun County. Well, last night, more than 60 concerned parents and students spoke at the school board meeting, many of them demanding the resignation of the superintendent Scott Ziggum. Scott is the guy who who really covered all of this up.

Scott is the guy at that meeting saying we have never had an incident of any kind of problems in our bathrooms with transgender students. It just doesn't exist. He said that the week of the kid raping this man's daughter. He knew he covered it up. They passed all of the legislation or all of the new rules for the school board in their bathrooms.

And they were claiming that there's never been a predator, transgender, ever in the history of the school. It was just conservative nonsense. Well, it shows up that it's not. Now, at another school, a 15-year-old boy was charged with sexual battery and abduction of a fellow student. This according to the sheriff's office, they were. won't say if it was the same boy or not, because it's all confidential, but the word on the street is, it is the same boy. He forced a female victim into her empty classroom where he held her against her will and assaulted her, sexually assaulted her. It may be the same boy. It may be that

there's no ramifications in Loudoun County for sexual assault for kids. And so this is, this is, what's happening. I wanted to bring Pat in a little early today, along with Stu, my executive producer. All three of us are parents. And I have to tell you, I think the parent, the dad, is the most restrained dad I've ever seen. I don't know what I would have done had I been in his situation. Pretty sure I'd be in jail right now. I would have gone crazy. Can you imagine your daughter has been sexually assaulted. I mean, this guy's been charged with counts of forcible sodomy and other forcible sexual acts. And then to have somebody come up and tell you, I don't believe your daughter. And this is a liberal. Believe all women. Right. Believe all women.

Right. Right. If we can just save one child, all of that stuff. All of that stuff. These people don't care about your children. And they will not acknowledge even the possibility of, let's say, a heteroperson portraying themselves as trans going into the bathroom and doing these kinds of things. No. No. I mean, how can you not, how can you deny that reality that that could absolutely and has already happened multiple times?

It's so inconsistent with the vision they propagate of men generally, who are just nonstop sexual stalkers and people who are abusing women and all the time. All they want is power. And this kid is not transgender. This kid says he's bisexual. And he wears a skirt sometimes to school. The kid is a sexual predator. I mean, obviously he's a sexual predator.

And we don't seem to care anymore. And I think this is the quintessential. Bubba effect waiting to happen. Because if that dad would have gone in and taken justice, you know, in his own hands, we'd all know it was wrong. We all know he should go to jail. But we also would all say, wouldn't you have done that? Wouldn't you have done that? if you were the dad and you were just not getting justice anywhere and no one was listening to you and they were continuing to lie and they were lying and covering up this predator who had just done awful awful things to your daughter and then they dismiss your daughter cover it up let the guy go he rapes again oh my gosh i'd lose my mind and this laden county school board how many times have we seen them in action they've there's been multiple

stories over the last six months or so. And the way they respond to people who have concerns. Oh my gosh. Is so dismissive and condescending. They're the ones who... We don't have to listen to you. Right. Who do these people think they are? I don't know. And Virginia, if you are thinking about

re-electing Governor Watts's face, McCullough, are you out of your mind? when he's actually come out and saying, you don't have a right for your children? What do you mean I don't have a right for it? You obviously don't care about my child as much as I do.

All these things get used whenever they need them to be used, right? I mean, like when it's college, we're told that the average college student is being raped at a rate higher than the Rwandan genocide. That's literally what the statistics that they propagate. One in five or something. It's not like one in four, one and five women get raped in college, which is obviously not true. Why would any father ever send their kid to college if that were true?

Obviously, it's not true. Yet at the other side, when we have an actual credible allegation of someone who actually went through this, we get, we don't believe you. And then the dad gets taken out in handcuffs. Unbelievable. It's incredible. It's just not going to stand. In their arrogance, they will fail. This is just not going to stand.

people need to stand up and speak the truth. And you know what the truth is. These people are completely out of control. And they're in your local district. So they are in your local hands. You have the right to demand answers from your local school board. You have a right to demand answers. You know, yesterday, again, they're not having open meetings.

They're not having public meetings. they're bringing everybody in one by one. And so there's no one in the room except the speaker. So there's no way to hear what any of the other speakers are saying. And you're not getting support when you're standing up there. You're not getting support. You're facing this, I don't even, a star chamber. Katie Young, a 14-year-old student, would love to talk to Katie Young.

14-year-old student in the school district claimed 840, and this is the policy, about the transgender bathrooms. 840 and many of the policies that are being proposed are not to make people feel more comfortable or to accept others, but instead to change the way my peers and I think. So we'll become the next generation of social justice warriors. 14. I'm 14 years old. The fact that I have to be here defending my rights to not have your radical agenda

shove down my throat in school is not only concerning, it's upsetting. My peers and I are not tools to further your political agenda. Holy God. Here's another mom. These school board members knew about the first incident in the June 22nd meeting. I'm sorry, but they all knew the case when they were here for the meeting. And now another child has been hurt by the same predator. And so we hold them accountable.

That's. You know, a really good example of what to do about this comes from one of our suburb. here in the Dallas-Fort Worth area with South Lake and what South Lake parents did at their school board because they were getting the same kind of treatment. They're getting the condescending, oh, yeah, that's cute. Beat it. We don't care what you have to say. So three of the parents ran against three of the people on the school board and beat them and won.

It was like 70-30 too. It wasn't even close. Yeah, it was huge. The community completely supported them. Well, there was also one, there was also one parent, a guy who runs. the uh, runs the GOP

and it's a very different GOP in this county. Uh, and he's running for county judge now. Uh, and, uh, which is a, which is a very big deal.

It's not the kind of judge that you have every place else. Anyway, um, he's, he's remarkable and he raised, I think, $250,000 to be able to do all the publicity and everything else. So those people could get elected.

I mean, it, it's what it takes. It, it, is what it takes. It takes people parting with their money. Hello, rich people, parting with their money and supporting these parents and supporting these people and making sure that their voice is heard. And when you are standing up, you're not alone. You are not alone. And I urge you every single person

within the sound of my voice, find out where your school board meeting is and send a message. nationwide. Believe me, this is the school board association that asked for the FBI. This is not just Loudoun County. It was the school board association.

So send a message to that association by showing up and being at your next school board meeting. There should be no place to sit or stand. Even if you're in a friendly town, send the message. We are watching you and we are not afraid of you.

This comes from Rhode Island, North Kingstown. Rhode Island schools are out of control. Rhode Island schools are now promoting a book with gay pornography to minors in the school library. The pornographic book was published by Lion Forge Comics. It's titled Gender Queer, a Memoir, authored and illustrated by someone who uses the made-up pronouns of EM and air, I guess, a resident of South Kingston and a mom of a kindergartner. Mom of a kindergartner posted a picture of the book

in a display case on Twitter and highlighted the pornographic images contained between the covers. She also posted out an image of the typed out report that says that she sent to police, writing that she is submitting evidence of distribution of pornography, at North Kingston High School and that the book was made available to minor children. Gender

Queer is highlighted in the library of several high schools in Rhode Island calling for the prosecution of the school employees who are responsible for its distribution. The book which is currently ranked number 11 in Amazon's LGBTQ

plus 11M-97 graphic novels features discussion of gay sexual fantasies and is incredibly graphic, including scenes of gay men having sex and a scene of one man performing oral sex on another. It focuses on bonding with friends over erotic gay fan fiction.

There is one scene so unbelievably disgusting. It's not that I can't say it on the air, which I can't. I also don't want it passing through my mouth. It is so despicable. This is an award-winning book from the School Library Association that needs to be done. If you are not in your school board meeting, we're going to lose. You have to stand up. They are at our children.

And they, well, let me give you one more in, give me 60 seconds and I'm going to come back. I'll tell you one more story. that is just as bad. 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about something that you can do. While your kids are being filled with absolute garbage, garbage, you need to find back. I want to talk to you about the Tuttle Twins.

com. 10 seconds. Station ID. Canada has always seemed like a crazy place when it comes to schools, but we are closely catching up to them. An exhaustive and detailed memo from the Toronto School Board shares ways that teachers and administrators can help students hide their gender transition from their parents. And you are expected to do this as a teacher. In a memo called Guidelines for the Accommodation of Transgender and Gender Independent Non-Colnsicent. conforming students and staff.

The school board outlines best practices for how teachers should go about facilitating a student's gender transition. These policies have been in effect since 2013. But nobody knew about it. They are deliberately hiding the information from parents. All students have a right to privacy unless specifically directed by the students, schools must, keep a student's transgender gender non-conforming status confidential, meaning you cannot tell the parents or the guardians. School staff should not disclose a student's transgender gender non-conforming status to

others unless there's a specific need to know. I don't know. I think that would be a parent. I have a specific need to know what's going on in my child's life. Again, they are telling you that you are not in charge of your children. And I don't think, uh, I don't think the average American believes that. No. Isaiah 520 comes to mind.

Humor me for, for those who, I'm pretending. I don't know. I say if I'm woe unto them that call good, evil and evil good. Yeah, that's bad. We are absolutely living that time right now. We are. Absolutely. And to show you how surreal life is right now, I invite my, uh, co-host to,

now look up on the screen and see William Shatner in a giant penis being sent off into space. I mean, this is our life today. This is our life. It is. That is what it looks like. That is what it looks like, yes. Did they do that on purpose? This is just like a big space joke on the rest of us?

I don't know. Space joke. I don't know. Well, because it's like that would be the joke you'd make about some C.E. building a spaceship, right? Like it's just a phallic symbol, basically. And it is a phallic symbol. It is.

And, I mean, you know, they care about the environment so much. They're sending William Shatner into space. I mean, that seems like a good use of CO2, doesn't it? Well, he does have experience. Yeah. He does. Extensive experience. He does.

Back in a minute. Unfortunately, cybersecurity isn't something that you have to protect yourself from once. There is no. natural immunity. Of course, I hear there's no natural immunity when it comes to COVID, too. Isn't that weird? Anyway, cybercriminals, they don't take the weekends off from trying to find new ways to steal your identity and everything else that you own. It's important that you understand how cybercrime and identity theft is affecting your life. You put your information at risk every day if you're connected to the internet. Life lock. Man, they're the best. They've been in business forever. And if they detect something, because nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor everything. They'll send you an alert.

student as America. This is the Glenn Beck program. We're really glad that you are tuning in. It is one year, one year later, the New York Post published the Hunter Biden laptop story. In this year, we have seen an awful lot come. to light. And the Hunter Biden laptop story has been vindicated. The New York Post has gone from Russian disinformation to computer hacking to unsubstantiated

to now absolutely accurate, 100% true. They revealed a year ago his abandoned laptop that it carried proof in it that he sold influence while his father served as vice president and his dad now president knew it. The media said this wasn't a scandal. This was Russian disinformation. Twitter and Facebook rushed to block it. They took all of the vital information that might have helped people vote and make a decision on who these people were. They squashed it.

And in a year, here is the best line from the Post's anniversary article. The only thing that the media has learned is that it worked. Big tech and big media got their way at the expense of our democracy. They all got away with it, all of them, from the Bidens to social media companies to the press. Now, so far, I would agree with all of that. I will say, this material has been in the hands of Peter Schweizer for. some time. And Peter is known for being able and his team to dig into these things and make people understand how important they are. I mean, he's done this several times. I haven't told you this,

but he is sending me an advance copy because he wants to join me. He said, Glenn, you need to do a chalkboard series on this. He said, you can make this really understandable. He said, so I'm sending you the advance copy so you can start working on the chalkboard. And in the first week, a couple of weeks of January, we're going to be going through with Peter all of the evidence and a chalkboard. Oh my gosh. It'll be a week-long series. If there's ever been anything that proves the value of a police TV subscription, that'll be. Because Peter going through that. I mean, that's going to be a book you're going to want to read. You're going to want to watch the chalkboard series on it. And I can't, of course, guarantee that the left will pay attention to it or the media will pay attention to it or that

social media will let you post any of it. But I will say we will know what is in that laptop and we will know all of it. Not just that we've seen a lot of salacious things out of it, but Peter will be able to not only find what is important on the laptop and by the way, multiple other email accounts he has access to. It's not just a laptop that he has. He'll be able to tie it all together with financial transactions. I mean, they're in trouble here.

This is a big this is in a normal society. Yes, in a normal society. This is not a normal society.

In a normal society, the DOJ would already be in on this. The DOJ has been in on this for two years now and nothing. The best chance that we have for

Joe Biden to be held accountable for this is his approval rating to be so low that the left wants to get rid of him. That's what happened with Andrew Cuomo. They wouldn't have done anything to Andrew Cuomo. But number one, he had pissed off a bunch of other Democrats in the state.

And number two, he was no longer worth their while. He was starting to hurt them. And so they were able to throw him to the wolves because... And you want to throw it to Kamala? I'm not saying I want to do that, but I'm saying if you... No, I'm saying they do? They get through a 2022 election where they get destroyed and they lose the Senate and the House and he's got a 38% approval rating.

they're going to start thinking long and hard about changing that whole situation up before 2024 Congress. I think they're waiting for him to die. I really do. I think they're waiting for him to die. Hoping that he will die in the next is horrible. I mean, God, I hope. No, seriously. They wake up one morning and they're like the president didn't wake up and then

the nation goes into mourning and then you know, then they say his legacy is under attack by these mean, I mean, I mean, you can't take him out because Nancy Pelosi is the vice president unless Kamala picks one.

Now, normally... I mean, not really, but... Normally, they pick one. But she is constitutionally the next in line. If Kamala says, you know what? Two women would be great. I love Nancy. You love Nancy.

Let's have her as vice president. And the issue here, and this is one of the reasons people say all the time, like, oh, Joe Biden is doing so poorly, he's such a disaster. They're just going to get rid of him. They're going to make him step down. They're going to say, you know, he's got health problems, whatever it is, and he goes away. The issue with that is, it's a 50-5. Senate. So a 50-50 Senate means Kamala Harris's tie-breaking vote is no longer there because she's

not vice president. And he'd say, well, she's going to name a new vice president, right? Problem is, that needs to get through the Senate. So they have to get somebody that Republicans would approve. See, the other, the, if I were, if I were the left, I would be hoping that this man, I would be shooting him up with vitamins and every possible thing I could to keep him going. Yeah, as bad as the president he is, politically speaking, they can't lose him. No. At least until 2022. I think they both, they all realize that they are in massive trouble in 2022, which is why I

believe they're acting as, at least partially why I believe they're acting as aggressively as they are because they know this is going away anyway in two years, in less than two years now. They realize that they're probably going to lose the election. They're probably going to lose the House. They're probably going to lose the Senate. So whatever they want to get done, they need to get done now. And that is a calculation, I think, they've made, which is different than what the Obama administration made. They had 60 senators, and they slow-plated, thinking, well, we can hold on.

Wait, wait, wait. In comparison. Let's remember those days. In comparison. It was breathless. In comparison. In comparison to this, Obama slow-plated. And that's one of the lessons they took, two lessons they took over the past couple

of elections. Number one, when you get the presidency and you get the power, go for it, do everything you can. Eventually people will forget about it. They'll start embracing Obamacare. We've seen the approval ratings come up. You know, they forced all that stuff through. Eventually, people like their free stuff and they go. So that's their theory. Go for it. Number two, stop playing this game like they did in 2016. 2016, they gave, they let people know about the scandal with Hillary Clinton and her emails. They talked about it. Now, they dismissed it. But they kept talking about it. And they said, hey, you know, this is a crazy accusation and it's not true for X, Y, and Z.

And they went through every little defense they could. But the problem was people inherently could recognize there was a big kernel of truth there. And they knew Hillary Clinton was corrupt and it reinforced that. With Joe Biden and Hunter Biden on the one year anniversary, they just never talked about it. They didn't even give you the defense. They're still not. It was just nothing. They're saying Joe Biden is going to be drawn into this FBI probe into his son.

Hunter. There's no way. The FBI is completely corrupt. It needs to be shut down and restarted. It's completely corrupt now. I'm not saying the individual agents are. I'm saying the leadership is completely corrupt. Nobody has any faith in it. I don't have any faith in it.

Do you really think? Merrick Garland, he says, you know, we're going to make sure that we get these domestic terrorists, a.k.a. parents. And then right after we find this out, we find out that his son, his son-in-law and his daughter started a panorama education company. And they are getting millions of dollars from these school boards. And, you know, they're like, oh, no, it's just a, no, it's, it's, it is psychosocial issue testing.

So they are testing your kids to see, let me, let me give you this, uh, It's quite an amazing thing. When you look at what they actually say they're doing, they are, they're checking. Shoot. Anyway, they're checking. I can't find the exact verbiage of it, but they're checking on the kids and their welfare and their safety

and what they're feeling and what their parents and their families are feeling. Oh, wait a minute. What? Why? I didn't think parents had anything to do with children. children. They're just data collection crazy, but it's worse than that. They're also recommending, for instance, they're recommending the new Bill Ayers book. And it's for the teachers. And one of them is teaching when the world is on fire by Bill Ayers. Oh, good,

author. He says, he says, you as teachers should know that the system you'll be joining hates black and brown and poor kids. I have evidence that the system is organized to miseducate these children and it includes the shameful lack of resources in forced racial segregation, dumb down, and Eurocentric curriculum accompanied by a stifling top-down pedagogy and arcane rules and routines that result predictably in social shaming and widespread exclusions. It's good to see as an author he's moved on from bomb threat notes to books. You read to books. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So, they've gone on and they've put all of this in. They're making millions of dollars. It's his daughter. And he's the head of the Justice Department and says, we're going to go get the bad guys. We're going to shut these parents down.

There's no credibility. And there's, and there's no way Hunter Biden is, is going to be prosecuted. I mean, the media, they now know that all the stuff in that laptop is true. How anybody who respects women can look at the stuff on that laptop and say, oh, you know what, let's go after the coach in Las Vegas. Yeah, exactly. John Gruden's emails, are they worse than Hunter Biden's? I would argue absolutely not. Absolutely not. Absolutely not.

And we're reacting, I think, you know, as conservatives with outrage, obviously, which is correct on this whole Merrick Garland thing. but we're acting as if this is a governor doing this. Like, you know, okay, Gavin Newsom put the state police against these parents who are going up to their school boards. At least he would have jurisdiction. Yes. There is no connection whatsoever for the freaking FBI to be investigating school boards. It's not in their jurisdiction at all. What is the literal definition of why our government exists?

I mean, to protect our God-given rights? Yes. Governments are instituted among men to protect those rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. That's their number one job to protect our rights. Are they doing that in any way, shape, or form right now? I mean, I was just going over something last night as I was writing some things about the Bill of Rights. every single one of them are being violated today, every single one, multiple times every day. And we're wondering why our country feels the way it does.

Why, when you get a Republican in, you feel like your rights are being taken away. When you have a Democrat in, the other half feels like their rights are being taken away. Because they are. So what do we do? tonight there's a special on the Glen Beck Wednesday night special national divorce have you heard that yeah it's popping up everywhere and it's popping up on both sides the government is supposed to protect our rights but can you say that about this government so what do you do can the states ban together and create a pocket of freedom in the shadow of tyranny can the coasts Pocket together. Don't miss tonight show on Blaze TV 9 p.m. Eastern. We will answer both of those questions tonight and provide a roadmap to preserving what the left is now trying to take away.

What we're doing here in California is unprecedented in both nature, and in scale. And he's right. What's happening in California, I don't think nature has ever seen anything like it. He said, we're more divided than ever before. But as he signed a new bill into law on Sunday,

he said, these things remind us of what we can do together. And that law now bans all off-road gas-powered engines. So no more ATVs, no more rhinos or anything like that. No, no more hedge clipping gas-powered, no gas-powered blowers, no gas-powered generators, nothing gas-powered. It's off-road.

Absolutely insane. Insane. Insane. I'll never understand the efforts to get rid of something that basically is responsible for modern civilization. Fossil fuels. There is a, the moral case for fossil fuels. Great book. Alex Epstein. It's worth a read because people so often look at this as the enemy.

It's the whole reason people enjoy America in this century. Quite honestly, it's the whole reason why whales still exist as well. Yeah, no kidding. We were using whale oil before. This is going to affect, they say, over 50,000 small businesses will be crushed because of this. And every home, I mean, if you got anything,

any lawnmowers that are gas powered, it's out. All right. Let me tell you about AMAC. This is an amazing group. Two, two plus million members strong and growing. Amac. It is the type of organization that is actually fighting for you.

It's the one you want to join if you're 50 or older. It's a group you join because of the benefits, the insurance discounts, travel benefits, all of it. They're really, really great. But more important is the advocacy. They are very involved in Washington. And unlike some of the other groups for people to join at 50 and older, these people are on your side. These people care about the Constitution and they are constantly fighting. They're the ones that really helped and got all of their members involved in shutting down.

HR 1, which was the Nancy Pelosi bill to, you know, make sure that our elections are safe. Anyway, the benefits, the advocacy, or their information that they keep you updated on, it is so well worth joining AMAC. AMAC, join them now, AMAC. That's AMAC.us slash Beck. That's AMAC. com. Join them now.

Well, William Shatner, at 90 years old, getting into the capsule. With Bezos, he's going. in again. He's going up again. Why? Why? More than a minute. One thing we all have to recognize now is that we are living in revolutionary times. The country is now split unlike anything I've ever witnessed. Lincoln said a nation divided against itself cannot stand.

That's where we at. That's where we're at. So what do we do about it? Can we come back together or should we be talking seriously about a national divorce before things get really ugly. That is the subject tonight at 9 p.m., the divided states of America, is at time for a national divorce. I'm going to be looking into this on all sides. Don't miss tonight show on Blaze TV 9 p.m. Eastern. What can the states do to band together and create a pocket of freedom in the shadow of tyranny? What can you do to fight back. Tonight, 9 p.m. on Blaze TV.

But we also go to a guy who has got a great podcast, Daniel Horowitz. He's a Blaze podcast host for the conservative review. He's been covering this and has an interesting take on it. The divided states of America is at time for a national divorce? We talk to him in 60 seconds.

So William Shatner's in the capsule, in the giant phallic symbol, and he's about to be shot into space. and don't worry, if something happens, the new gay Superman can fly up and grab the giant phallic symbol and bring it down to Earth safely. That's an American story for 2021 right there. Strangely it is. Strangely it is.

Only one part of that is not true, and that is not the gay Superman, but that he could actually fly and return. the giant phallic symbol to earth. That's the only part of what I just said that is not true. Incredible. Throw that out. I believe the, but we should clear,

Superman bisexual, right? He's not, oh, is he bisexual? He's not gay? Yes. He's, okay,

well, you know, maybe this is on one of his, he's like, whoa, what is that up in space? I got to go grab that. That seems to be.

Maybe that's the plot line of this particular film. Okay. It's very brave. Very brave. Let me talk to you a little bit about diet and exercising. No, I'm kidding. I want to talk to you about something yummy to eat. It's Bilt Bar.

I don't see Red Fox from Sanford and Sun. going up to you? That would be a, it would be an odd moment for red at this point.

It would be. What was the woman that he used to always say is, I'm coming to see you. Anyway. Considering Red Fox died in 1991, it would be difficult for him to make an appearance on this phallic symbol. Well, we'll see.

We'll see. Stranger things, believe me, have happened. Daniel Horowitz is here. He's from the podcast, conservative review, which you should listen to.

and subscribe and rate with five stars, I think is the appropriate number. Five stars is the appropriate number of stars, yes. Okay. All right. Daniel, welcome. Well, it's great to be with you, and I'll take five stars any day. Any day. Okay.

So, Daniel, do we need a national divorce? What would that look like? Or do we just need braver Americans? Do we need braver, I don't know, constitutional Americans? Americans. Well, you know, Glenn, think about this. How do you bridge the divide between people who think a man is a woman, a woman's a man, a criminal's a victim, a victim is a criminal.

If you don't wear a mask, you're a murderer, but I'll let murderers out of prison at the same time using that very virus as the pretext. You don't have the right to have free unrestricted movement unless you do, as we say, with your body. But if you crash our border, man, you could go to all corners of the country. anytime you want. These are not light and transient causes. This is not a matter of one issue.

Frankly, King George never did this. King George never demanded we cover our mouths. King George didn't have men in female bathrooms. I mean, those issues were really very economic. It was over taxes. We have never had

this ever before. It used to be politics with 10% of our life. And the other 90, you know, we all have to eat, we all have to drink. We kind of do the same things. We like the same sports teams. And we could live together harmoniously. Now everything is political to the point of literally your life, even before liberty. So we now have a scenario where they could force you to take experimental therapies that, you know, showed that they have a lot of problems, but you don't even have the right to try a Nobel Prize winning drug.

This is how divided it is. So what I would. would argue is we already have a national divorce, except it's one-sided. So, for example, you ask me to define what it looks like, and I'll define what it looks like, literally a divorce, which doesn't mean you part ways. You have certain amicable agreements when it comes to custody of the kids and certain assets, and so we'll have the military, well, social security, it won't be perfectly two different countries. But what I think we need to do is make the red states that we allegedly already supposedly should have control over exactly like the blue states are. And when Trump was president, they didn't tolerate anything.

Even something like immigration, which is very much within the purview of the federal government, they harbored illegal alien sex offenders, and they actually, in New York, criminalized the enforcement and cooperation and transmitting any information to federal immigration agents. So my point is there is no reason we can't go in the red states where we have four to one, five to one majorities and some of them in the legislative bodies and say this is immoral, illogical, illegal, it's unconstitutional. It is not happening here. And frankly, if we ever get the presidency back, that is what the blue states have already done

and will do anyway. Yeah, I mean, this is, it goes back down to state power. I don't care what you do in California, but you're not going to charge me. for it. I'm not bailing you out. I'm not living there. If that's what you want to do, then that's fine, but don't bring it to my state.

And I don't know why we are not defending the Constitution. We're arguing about all of these crazy things that have nothing to do with the Constitution, and in many ways are in violation of the Constitution. I mean, how many, I'd like to

know, really, honestly. I really think we should begin conversations with people like this. Can you talk to me about the Bill of Rights? Is there anything in the Bill of Rights that you disagree with? If they say, yeah, I disagree with a lot of them. You know who you're dealing with. If they say, no, not really. Maybe the Second Amendment.

Okay. All right, well, we can talk about the Second Amendment later. Let's just start talking politics now and the policies. As soon as they start talking about the policies, you say, I thought you weren't against the Bill of Rights because I haven't moved. They have. They no longer believe in the Bill of Rights. And you can't come together if you don't believe in the most important foundational document in our country.

And really the most important right as defined by Blackstone is to walk in locomotion status quo without government acting against your body affirmatively in any way. And the left always championed bodily autonomy in the courts really for almost 100 years that you have the right to kill a baby. You have the right to a positive benefit to get access to assisted physician assisted suicide. All these cases we had. And now suddenly you can't even have Don't Taze me, bro. Hey, look, you know, you got your vaccine. You got your mask. You can do what you want.

Just don't force me to do it. And now you have the ACLU as the lead plaintiff in South Carolina. not defending your right to breathe in school, but actually defending your alleged right to force the other guy not to breathe. And that's the point. We don't shove things on them. We're not demanding everyone take, you know, 5,000 I use of vitamin D and an Ivermectin prophylactically, which actually would probably stop the spread even more. Hey, look, we want to do it, just allow us to do it. Don't stop us from doing it. You could do it. But they won't allow it. So right now we don't have a national divorce. It's more like an abusive husband who has violated that compact, and we just have to

evacuate ourselves from it. And again, Madison's design has given us that design. I don't want to hear about, oh, we'll win back Congress or something with a narrow rhino majority. Republicans have 19 states where they not only have the trifecta, but they have it with super majorities. But here we have, let me give an example. There's a 16-year-old girl. we're all talking about in Wyoming, who was handcuffed for not wearing a mask. Now, Glenn, all I'm asking is

that in a state like Wyoming, where there's a 28 to 2 GOP majority in the Senate, there's two Democrats there, that we could abide by and live by the same degree of post-constitutional liberty that we had on February

2020. Is that too much to ask? And yet we don't really have that. The red states are a little better. I mean, I know. So why is that? So why is that? Why is it that Wyoming, of all places, doesn't stand up?

Well, you know, let me give you an example of what we just dealt with in Arkansas, similar dynamic. We couldn't even get a compromise bill immediately passed to allow an opt-out for weekly PCR testing. That was New York's line in the sand a month ago. So we can't even hold the line that New York was pushing a month. month ago or two months ago. And that's because you look at a small state like Arkansas, overwhelmingly people voted for Trump. But at the end of the day, it's not Republican and Democrat, conservative, liberal right and left. It's one oligarchy, this corporate government

monopoly. And you got Tyson's, you got J.B. Hunt, and you got Walmart there. And they get what they want. And the governor's bought out by them. So you've got all these Republicans, they get money from Big Pharma, from the Chamber of Commerce. They'll joust very broadly on life and guns, on pro-life, on pro-gun, you know, in a very broad way. But when it comes to the issues that matter most to our lives, when they matter, at the time they matter, look carefully, and you'll see both parties are awfully close to each other. You used light and transient causes earlier. the second line in the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence after the life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, says that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men,

deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That's no longer happening, that when any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish and institute a new government, laying its foundations on such principles and organizing its powers in such a form as to them shall seem most likely to affect their safety and happiness. Prudence indeed will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes. And accordingly, all experience has shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while

evils are sufferable than to write themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. So it says here, it explains human nature that most of us are silent because it's still okay. And I think that changes once the economy really is hit. I think once people start to realize, wait a minute, I'm losing my job. My money is worthless. And I think it's probably too late by that point. Well, I mean, this is why John Adams always said you have to nip the shoe.

of arbitrary power in the bud. You know, they got a bad rap at the time, the Patriots, because it really wasn't that bad. You know, a tiny little tax there, what's the big deal? But they understood that if you wait until it is a big deal, it's too late. And I think that's the problem. I'll never forget a couple years ago. Actually, right before COVID, our mutual friend and colleagues, Steve Bates,

and I did a show together. And we talked about just retiring. I said, look, I'm always happier when I just tune it out, go on vacation. and it doesn't bother me. But that was before March 2020. Now you can't run away from it. They control every aspect of our lives and our health,

what we do with our bodies. It's terrible. The emails I'm getting from show listeners that they can't get proper treatment, people that got vaccinated and they get very sick, and we have to find all sorts of ways to get them treatment in a first world country like America, this is something that I think we can't live.

through and Glenn if we're just going to relegate those words of the declaration to some sort of museum some mosaic of history then they're just hollow they're meaningless and we're not asking for a civil war we want to avoid that and I think a lot of people forget the the revolutionary war was catalyzed really by the body closest to the people it was the state legislatures that form those committees of correspondence I think we need to make state legislatures great again and that will make red states red again. And, you know, we'll simply have red states that will behave the same way the blue states behave. And we'll have a degree of self-sorting.

And that will be healthier for everyone. Yeah, will be. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. God bless. It's important that you listen to Daniel Horowitz. He's really, really smart and really buttoned up on these issues. Blaze podcast, conservative review.

I don't know if you saw the press conference yesterday with Nancy Pelosi,

but she and the president have let everybody in America know that she and the other sophisticated elite Marxist, think that you're dumb. I mean, they have much more worldly experience than you do, much more knowledge than you do. Remember, it was the sophisticated friends of Barack Obama who, you know, are educated. And so they didn't have to wear masks. They're just more aware. They understand these complex issues and have the subtle reflections and discussions that are necessary to save you from your simplistic thoughts and actions.

they think they actually know you better than you know yourself because they're advanced and you're crude, you're primitive even. I mean, you still cling to your God and your guns. And anyone who holds on to the idea of God must not be able to think for him or herself. So they've come up with an infrastructure bill. And it's, I want to quote, it will be a transformative agenda for the children, end quote. Oh my gosh, for the children, my children, your children. Do you even know what's in this infrastructure bill? Because it's going to affect your children.

Whether you know it or not, Nancy Pelosi says there's overwhelming support for this infrastructure bill. And that's how they look at you on every issue. They know better than you. Even if you're not for it, yeah, it's because you're not worldly wise. And so you really are for it. The people who know about it, they're for it. They believe that all Americans, support the infrastructure build just because if they don't, they just are stupid. They don't know it.

But they also believe, whether you know it or not, that all white Americans are racist, whether you know it or not. Only white people can behave immorally. Segregation is good, but diversity of thought is bad. There are more than two genders. This is not a crisis at the border. There was never any voter fraud. China can be trusted. Our rights don't come from God. The right to your life, your liberty, your property, your food, your health, all come from the government. And Fauci knows. He knows everything. Even when he changes his mind or lies, it's still the truth. Men can have babies.

Protest with looting, destruction, and destroying a property and killing. That's peaceful. The cops are bad. They're murderers even. Martin Luther King was wrong. January 6th was worse than civil war. Sticks and stones. Don't cause damage.

But words do. Words can be triggering. We must peacefully stand together because we know things like that are not true. We have to be sure of our convictions and our principles

and hold steadfast while the world comes to rip them away. They are chipping away at our foundations as both a nation and now individuals and we have to continue to strengthen our resolve, help each other. Let them call us, foolish, basic and unsophisticated, because we know who we are.

We know what's true because we remember those things that are self-evident. This is the Glennback program. American financing NMLS-182334 www. nmLS consumer access.org. So Angie wrote into the show a couple of weeks ago to tell us her experience with American financing. She said she called him after hearing me talk about them on the radio. Thanks, Angie. She said a lot of people take 10 minutes out of their day to give them a call. She wasn't convinced that those 10 minutes would go as smoothly as I said it would, that it would make any difference.

But she said, I did it. Angie got a refi on her mortgage. It was done in 30 days. She said she got a great interest rate. She said she had a great experience overall. And Angie, I can't thank you for just trying. Just take 10 minutes. That's all you need to do.

And you may not do a refi mortgage. You may not do a consolidation loan. But call them because the world is changing. I'll show you in a few minutes how dramatically it is changing even for the banking sector. Call American Financing Now 8009062440. American Financing 8009062440 or Americanfinancing. Dot net.

Go there now. Americanfinancing. net. A national divorce. More on that tonight with Glenn TV on blaisTV.com slash Glenn. That airs right after a brand new Stu Does America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Coming up in just a few minutes, we have the pilots union leader from Southwest Airlines.

He's going to be joining me in studio here in about 25 minutes. Let me play cut six for you. This is Nancy Pelosi. lecturing reporters yesterday. Our latest CBS news poll shows that only about 10% of Americans describe themselves as knowing a lot of specific things that are in the reconciliation package and that the majority don't know anything at all. So do you think you need to do a better job at messaging and going forward? How do you sell this if ultimately you have to be a better job of selling it, to be very frank with you, because every time I come here, I go through the list.

family medical leave, the issues that are in there. But it is true. It is hard to break through when you have such a comprehensive package. So difficult to break through when you control the entire government and all of the media. I know. So hard to get

your messaging out there. It really is. Okay. So let me just, let me go through a few things. These are not failures. These are intended. And they are intended to bring you to a reset, the great reset. Remember, when do you reset things? When do you go downstairs into the scary basement to look at the fuse box?

When everything is fine? No. When there's been a disruption in power, right? Something is blown in the house. When do you push the reset button on your computer when everything is fine or just a little glitchy? Or do you just like, I don't want to re. And you just keep going until it completely freezes up and you have no other option but to reset. So the things that this government, quote, is failing in are not failings.

They are to lead you to the great reset. Let's go through some of them. Supply chain. One more example of Biden failing at basic governing. This is from Breitbart. That's the headline. It's not a failure of him governing. This is intentional.

Southwest pilots warn fatigue, frustration could fuel further outages. Well, I'll hear from the pilots union here in just a few minutes, but does anybody actually believe that the mandate plays no role in that? CNN says Americans won't be able to go back to shopping like in the before times. Oh, okay. the U.S. health care force is short half a million workers now.

A main hospital just closed its NICU because of staffing shortages due to vaccine mandate. Do you see what these all have in common so far? U.S. cities are having to boost budgets for cops after defund the police initiatives result in more crime.

Walgreens closes five more San Francisco locations due to theft. This is happening in big cities where they have said, we're not going to prosecute anybody for shoplifting. You're shoplifting under $1,000. So people are just going in and they're just wiping these stores clean

because police can't do anything about it. Chicago suffering from officer shortage. They can't find the recruits. Believe they need, what is it, 100 and... There's 877 vacancies. I think they need about 1,600 officers, and they can't figure out why officers don't want to work in in Chicago. Over the weekend, try this one on for size.

California moved one step closer to ending reliance on fossil fuels. What they did is they banned all off-road gasoline engines. So, you know, if you have a leaf blower, if your lawn service is cutting the lawn, using a lawn mower, can't be gasoline, has to be electric. This will bankrupt so many small businesses. 50,000 businesses are going to be affected by this. And it's only a matter of time before everyone has to do this. Saki said yesterday, and I quote, The president wants to use the pandemic to make fundamental changes.

in our economy. Is that what you voted for? Did you vote for a fundamental change in our economy? He feels coming out of the pandemic, it is exactly the time to make fundamental change in our economy. That's not what I voted for. You want to know what's in that package? All kinds of stuff that goes against the Constitution.

Janet Yellen said, The $600 IRS reporting requirement is necessary because there's a lot of tax fraud and cheating that's going on. Really? Is there? Do you know how much it costs to fill my truck now at the gas station? $100. $100 to fill my truck. I can do that easily, easily in a month six times. if I'm driving the truck a lot, at least four. So I pay my, I pay my gas card. It's a $600 transaction. The federal government, the IRS needs that.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. So now you're going after, you know, the post office worker, the teacher, the people who are the heroes in our society. You're going after the people that have $50,000 to $60,000. How much are you spending on food every month? If you have a large family, can you spend $600 at the grocery store? Wow. So now you need to be spied upon by the IRS because your transactions are suspicious. we cannot allow these things to happen. This infrastructure bill cannot pass because it is infrastructure.

It is infrastructure. So when they power everything down because everything is gridlock and you are out in the streets going, there's no food that I can afford at the grocery store. My shelves are empty. the ports are backed up. They're not working.

I can't hire anybody to do the job. There's crime all over the city. My school board is completely out of control, and the FBI is now interviewing all of the parents that were there at the school board meeting. I can't afford gas anymore. I can't afford a new car. They're not even making,

the new cars anymore. My oil or my gas bill to heat my house is two and a half times what it was before the election. It's already double what it was. We're not even in the winter yet.

When all of that happens, when the court system doesn't work, when the police can't work, when crime is out of control, when you can't afford your groceries, When you can't afford your house, when the banks are just making all kinds of money, when all of these things are happening, this is not a failing of the progressives.

This is by design for the Great Reset. This is why we have to speak out. This is why tonight's TV show is so important because the answer really is local, local, local. When the FBI said that they were going to look into terrorists, do you know why they did that, right? They did that to scare you off. Well, Loudoun County wasn't scared off last night. They had a huge school board meeting. They were even more vocal than they have been.

We need to be at our school board meetings. Even if you live in a good town where your school board is on your side, you need to be there. Because the school board association is watching. And we must send them a message, you don't scare me. These are my children. These people will do anything, anything to win. They don't play by the rules.

The only thing that frightens them is you waking up and standing up. Read Barack Obama's book. You know, Jonah Goldberg tweeted me the other day and he said, when I said, I think they've just started another tea party. And he said, ooh, like the first one was so effective. Did you read Barack Obama's book? It was. According to Barack Obama, it was. It slowed him down.

There's still lessons to learn, though, of how if we're going to do something else like that, it needs to be done and hopefully have longer legs than this one. We've complained about that several times. And we are smarter. We know that it's going to be taken over by hook and by crooks in the Republican Party. And we have to have certain principles. It's really easy now to align on principles. It's very easy. It's very easy.

You know, do you believe the school board you should be allowed to go in and question the school board peacefully? First Amendment. Do you believe that everybody has a right to speak their mind out in open and disagree with, with, you know, Fauci or anybody else, First Amendment? Do you believe that people who disagree with us have a right to publish and to be seen and be heard or should they be canceled, First Amendment? Do you believe I have a right to protect myself, especially when the government is firing all the cops and they're saying places like Austin, Texas, unless somebody has you, you know, in a chokehold with a gun, don't call us. We can't come. Somebody's breaking into your house.

Oh, well, we can't help you. Damn right. I have a right to own a gun. Damn right. Do you believe that the IRS should be into my bank watching every transaction of $600 or more? No, that's a violation of the Fourth Amendment. Everything is about the Bill of Rights. You just need to start asking people, do you believe in the Bill of Rights?

Let's go through them. Do you believe in the Bill of Rights? If you do, I'm with you. If you don't, I can't talk to you because the Gulf is too far. You have moved. I haven't. You have. Sorry, Bill of Rights, they are universal.

They are the thing that we all agreed on. If you can't agree with me on the Bill of Rights, then I'm not the enemy of America. No matter what you say, I'm not. the terrorist. You are. You are. You're the revolutionary. Not me. Back in a minute. Okay. I don't know if you've seen this, but I was following a Hyundai back home yesterday and I thought, man, that car is worth a fortune right now. The price of a used Hyundai is double. Why? Because you can't get new cars. And if your car is out of warranty, you got to get it fixed.

You're going to be able to afford a new car right now? I mean, gosh, look at us. We are already starting to become Cuba. You afford a new car? Car shield will take care of all of the covered repairs. And you can create your own coverage so you know exactly what it is. It's a customized plan. And they will save you from paying the huge dollars when your car needs to be fixed.

Breaks down on the side of the road. They got you covered. They'll get you the rental car. They'll tow your car in, bring it to the shop that you want, even the dealership if you want to make sure that it has the right exact parts. It's CarShield. You're not on the hook to pay thousands of dollars. See why CarShield cars go further.

Pretty amazing when you think about it that way. It's really amazing. One commercial break. He went from on the ground into space. Yeah, he's now at zero G. Can we pull up any of the audio? This is, he's up there apparently with

with two customers of I assume not just random Amazon customers. And there they are. They have hit, just about hit their apogee. Oh, good. We were waiting for that. At about 351,000 feet. Yeah, now they're starting to come down. And while we don't have apogee, I can just imagine Jackie.

They are having the time of their lives. Why are they not showing that? Inside. Yeah. Is it possible that Captain Kirk is like just crapped himself and is like, I want to go back down. You want to go back down. You should have taken Red Fox. Fox. You should have took Tony Orlando or maybe some of the dawn.

I don't know why I'm going. It was a TV show, man. It was a TV show. Sometimes you get to that point where you're in the middle of doing something crazy like that and you realize, why am I doing this? You have those second thoughts. It could be happening. I mean, really, I mean, think of this.

He's 90 years old. Remember what you had to be to be an astronaut. I mean, the average person... Thank you again, everybody, for joining us live from Western. You're welcome, man. You could show us some of the things that are happening on inside the capsule, but no, you don't want to show that. Let me out of here. Let me out of here.

It's really cool. What an amazing time we live. and where people, you know, like companies like Amazon can care so much about the planet, they can just... Global warming. Burn up all that, all that energy and fuel and CO2 to give William Shatner a ride into space. It's an existential crisis, but, you know, if a celebrity wants to go to space, obviously, that's fine. Or if people are paying me, I mean, I've got to do that.

Hate capitalism. I have to tell you that you can see by Amazon what they're doing today by putting William Shatner into space. It's culture that leads the world. You're not putting him up into space for any other reason other than it will be a cultural talking point. We have got to get into the culture. Right now, an amazing screenwriter and friend of mine, Andrew Claven, is working to get the Covenant, a multi-season TV series adaptation of the stories of the Old Testament into our culture. This is the real stuff.

This is like Cecil B to Mill stuff, where it was actual, where you're not coming in and having Hollywood go, you know, but what about rock people? Excuse me, rock people? To get it into the culture for multi-season TV, it's expensive. And they're looking for people that just want to make an investment in the project. You can go to KOTV.com slash back. It's spelled C-A-Y-O-T-V.

dot-com slash back. K-O-T-V-com slash back. Look up the covenant, see what it is, and if you'd like to help, do everything you can to bring it back into our culture. Back in just a minute with the program. Southwest Airlines was a mess over the weekend, and now the news about it is a moment. mess. You don't really know what's happening. Is this a sick out because of the vaccine? Is this

because all of the pilots and everybody, they're tired because of what's been going on because of COVID? What is really happening and what are the pilots looking for? We have Captain Casey Murray. He is the president of Southwest Airlines, the Pilot Association. He's the union guy. And he's in studio with me and he's he just told me have at it okay we will in 60 seconds i've been dealing with blinds com for gosh stew how many years 15 years 10 15 years um they are the most professional best place for window coverings out there they got into the business uh online imagine this in the 1990s do you remember do you remember that online experience aOL beep boop sh all of that uh when it took you a long time to look at pictures of things.

The first round of flight cancellations on Saturday at Southwest Airlines came the day after the Southwest Airline Pilot Association filed a request in federal court to block a COVID-19 vaccine mandate. So you know, and we'll get this information here in a second, it doesn't appear that the union is against the mandate. They just want it to happen after they've negotiated their contract.

Yesterday, the CEO, Gary Kelly, told CNBC, I've never been in favor of corporations imposing that kind of a mandate. However, they're complying with Biden's vaccine mandate, even though there isn't one yet. The objective here, obviously, is to improve health and safety and not for people to lose their jobs. 2,200 flights were canceled over the weekend, and to talk to us about this is Captain Casey Murray, who is the head of the Pilots Association, the Pilots Union.

How are you, sir? I'm doing well. Thanks for having me, Glenn. Thank you for coming in. I appreciate it. Yes. I was shocked when you guys said yes to our invitation. We're out there. We're trying to get the word out, trying to clear up some misconceptions. And I'm proud of our pilot, so I want to speak for them. Okay. So tell me what is happening. What's happening, though?

Well, since you brought up the TRO that we filed, we filed that on Friday. We also have a status quo lawsuit that we've been forced to file. We've amended that to sort of add on this aspect as well to show continuing status quo. violations while we are negotiating our contract. What does it mean status quo violations? Well, the RLA Railway Labor Act that we work under and are contracted under requires the company while we're in negotiations can't make unilateral changes while we're negotiating. Okay. And we've seen numerous, numerous instances. We've tried to work with them.

It is kind of the hallmark of what Swapa and Southwest do, but we've seen that kind of fail over the past year or so. Because of COVID, they are just wholesale changing some really important things that you don't, you haven't ever negotiated. And if I'm reading this right, you're saying, hey, look, we've, we've done a lot here. Enough is enough is enough. Correct. And all we've been asking for, and this is specifically what the TRO is about, is, hey, we need to sit down and have discussions around this. our peers Delta American United

FedEx UPS they all have had agreements in place for six and at times 10 months that addressed a lot of our concerns so and your concerns are well pilots one of the main concerns is pilots are required to carry a medical certificate

every six months we go in I have a full battery of tests and and and every six months I mean, there's a risk that you could lose your career. So with our pilots license, we also have a medical certificate. So a lot of our pilots and our peers pilots want to know and have answered, how's the company going to handle any sort of either long-term issues that come from the vaccines because that is still yet to be determined?

And then, you know, negative. Negative. Okay. And then, you know, even shorter term, what's going to happen when, if I have a reaction and have to call in sick. Is that coming out of my sick bank? And so now it's being required, mandated. And we need these questions answered.

And our peers have done it. And we see vaccination rates from 90% and higher. And then you look at United, 99.9% of their pilots are vaccinated. We don't know. And the company hasn't shared with us what our vaccination rate is. It is much lower than that. and I would I would venture to say probably half that. And a lot of it has to do with our pilots, you know, trepidation with not having a lot of these questions answered.

And that's all we're trying to do is get them to the table. I mean, APA at American, their pilot union, has over 11 different MOUs of memorandums of understanding addressing these things. And we see what it does to the vaccination rates. so when I see pictures of pilots because they're going there's lots of them do we have any of them here here's one a don't tread on me flag hanging out of the window of a southwest jet out of the pilots window show do you have the okay there's there's all kinds of pictures of southwest pilots out online as well and that seems to be anti-vaccine. Yes.

Do you have any idea how many of your pilots are going to probably end up getting fired? I would say that until a lot of these questions gets answered, we really don't know. It's kind of a twofold sort of issue. There are those that feel very strongly that the government mandate crosses and steps on the Constitution. And I respect that. There's a lot of very personal decisions. But the flip side is they also don't want to go into being mandated for a vaccine where

their questions as to where their career and where their families stand and their family's well-being moving forward. They have to be able to make decisions using some concrete data. And we're still waiting on that from our company. And by data, I mean, having some of these questions answered. So what is you're just, because I don't think I heard that yesterday from the CEO. Did you still? I don't think I heard him address these concerns.

It's very clear. And I've brought this up twice already. Look at our peers. Look at where our peers' vaccination rates are. look at what they have done proactively to address this. We have done nothing. Southwest, we have tried for six months to force them to sit down and have discussions about this. We even went so far as forcing a letter of agreement during negotiations across the table because they weren't interested in having the discussions. They have it. It's in their hands. We still have not sat down

and had real discussions. We did have a meeting on Monday that was really, I would say, forced by the TRO, even though it hasn't been ruled on yet. But, I mean, I think Southwest felt, okay, we have to do something. And we presented them with dozens of questions and we're still waiting answers. We're a week and a half past when the federal contractor mandate came out. And we're rapidly approaching a deadline. Well, it's still just a vocal.

There is no written policy. It's not law. It's not even an executive order. Absolutely. But when your company tells you, you will or you will be terminated, there is a conscious feeling of a threat. So many people don't have a union. And a lot of people, I am, I'm glad I'm not in a union. I think unions are really important when companies get out of, of control. And in the same way, I think when unions get out of control, they're just as bad as the out of control company. But this is, I mean, I'm wondering if a union, if you're working as a pilot and you don't want the vaccine and you're going to get fired for it, are you going to defend those

guys? Absolutely. Absolutely. We have to. And we will. We will defend them if that's what it comes to. But it is our job in representing them to provide them with as much information and force the company to come and get these questions answered. So what would that mean if you, after you get the questions and because you guys aren't, is the union against the mandate?

We are against the mandate. You are against it. Not even with more information. You're against it. against the mandate it it our whole thing is it is a pilot's choice it is a pilot's family choice it's a very personal decision that has to be made and so uh we believe that but that by um providing these answers and the company providing these answers i mean there are so many things even outside of the medical i mean we still haven't had questions as to uh who's making the decisions on these

on these exemptions so medical religious we don't have answers to that. How's the information going to be protected in the HIPAA environment at the company? We haven't had answers to those. Is there an alternative means of compliance? Like the original mandate that Biden put out even before this contractor issue, there was an alternative means of compliance. Testing, right? The other, yes, it was testing. Yes. How is, what about natural immunity. We have pilots right now that have COVID. And those pilots now say they recover this week, they still can't get the shot for 90 days. Well, that's outside the window. How is that going to be handled? So so many questions that we don't have answers to. And our pilots don't have answers to,

and our pilots can't make decisions. Our pilots use data. Our pilots look at all available information and then make the decision. And again, I, point back to our peers. Our peers address this proactively and look at where they're at. So what is what is Governor Abbott's ruling or his executive order here in Texas where no company has to follow that? Well, that's part of the issue as well for us, not having the ability to sit down and have these discussions with our company. our legal team is is looking at that and then in the midst of looking and seeing how that is going to affect our pilots Gary Kelly comes out yesterday and says that he's not going to abide by that that he's going to abide by Biden's mandate which doesn't exist but the governors does yes yes I know they did send something over to OSHA supposedly

over the past 24 hours or so but it's certainly nothing's official yet it does seem like it's a something to intimidate these companies to just go along with it before there's even a rule written down yes there's a lot of the i think there's a lot of people that uh uh are hoping somebody takes a stand because the little guy is taking a stand and getting squashed and the government is just telling them what they can and can't do and they are i mean i think there was a lot of hope at least there was with me when i saw you guys you know uh have your difficulty this weekend. I was hoping that it was the pilots stepping out and saying,

no, we're not going to do it. We're reasonable people, you know, as you said, many have already had COVID. I've had COVID. I had a bad bout of COVID.

I believe in my antibodies. I don't know why this is the exception to something that we know about the human body. And I have no problem with the vaccine, but I know I don't really give a flying crap with the federal government says this is unconstitutional. And I think there's a lot of people hoping that you were you were standing up for that or at least a few pilots were standing up for that. And I was very clear, I think earlier when I answered that question, we are against the mandate. We are not anti-vaccine,

but our pilots are in a unique position. Unlike the rest of the population, we have to maintain a medical and there's a lot of unanswered questions. And a lot of those questions can, and a lot of of those fears can be allayed by how is our insurance going to be handled. And we carry a loss of license insurance as well as an LTD, an STD, so the long-term disability and short-term disability. We also carry loss of license specifically for our medical. So if we lose our medical, we have some at least income insurance when we can no longer fly. They really need to come up with a better abbreviation for STD. I carry an STD. I carry an STD. It's just not a good. All right. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on in a second.

Let me take a one minute break after that. And we'll come back. The labor leader for the Southwest Airlines pilots on with us. Do you know what's as dangerous as Congress and the Biden administration pushing forward the billback better plan and paving the way for us to fully enter the Great Reset is the number of people that are actually falling for it and what it's going to mean to our dollar? You know, when you have the government saying you're never going to be able to go back to the way life was and they're talking about the variety of things on shelves and the economy, I don't I don't buy into that. When did we start having such a bleak look at what this country is capable of? The lack of fiscal responsibility and the new idea of modern monetary theory, which we are operating. rating under means that your dollar is going to become worth less and less.

Station ID. We're with the president of Southwest Airlines Pilots Association. His name is Captain Casey Murray. And we're talking about the Southwest Airlines vaccine mandates and the trouble that they had over the weekend. So you mentioned the medical certification you need to have every six months. Yes. So they're requiring you to upkeep some level. What does that mean exactly?

What's on it? It's an FAA requirement. So we have certain classes of medicals. Our pilots have to maintain a. first or second class, whether you're a captain or first officer. And so it's, you know, any type of heart issue, any type of high blood pressure, depression, diabetes. I mean, any of those things can kill your career. And so would they argue, though, that you, every six months, you have to do this anyway, why is COVID-19 or in the middle of a pandemic? Why wouldn't you have to maintain the vaccination

status? Well, I think that because of some of the unknowns with long-term issues with the virus, we've also seen some shorter terms, myocardis. Sure, sure. Yeah, with the vaccine. And it's a low number, but that can be a disqualifying event for a pilot. And so back to how is the, our loss of license plan is company administered. So the company has to answer those questions. So you, and you, and you, saying that what would actually happen with the cancellations? What's the story behind that? Because I've heard, I've heard, you know, that what Glenn was saying, you know, that there was some sort of sick out situation. You guys are saying that's not true. What actually happened? Well, I want to be clear. So I'm glad you brought it up. So it's now Wednesday. So we've kind

of looked back over the weekend to see exactly what occurred. And looking at our pilot's performance, I'm very proud of them. Our pilot sick rates were. right in line with where they were this summer during the same sort of long-term meltdown that Southwest had. Looking at our pilots are the most productive in the industry. That means they do a lot of work on their off time. It's what Southwest relies on. It's what makes Southwest different. Southwest does more with less. And so looking at our pilot pickup rates, they're working on off days, those things. Those were as high as we've seen them. So those two together sort of address where our pilots were.

There was no job action. There is stress. I mean, this mandate. So then what caused this? Well, Southwest works in a very dynamic environment, as do our peers. Weather is what we deal with every day. There's nobody else that was... Correct.

So Southwest does operate in a completely different environment, meaning our network. Our network is completely different than everyone else's. complex point to point. A line of thunderstorms moves through Atlanta, Delta shuts down a push of airplanes, meaning all the ones coming in or out. And when the thunderstorms push through, they're right back on. They might have canceled flights, but they're right back on. Our airplanes are at all of our outstations. And so when someone gets sick, when an airplane breaks, when there's weather, then there is a domino effect that is more difficult at Southwest to recover from. Now, that being said, I feel very strongly that we've seen this happen for the past two years.

We've seen sort of these events happening and take four or five days to recover. This weekend is a... Okay, hang on, because I have to take another break. I want to continue this. Because I think I understand what you're saying, and it is a break. of just because of the COVID virus and what you've been going through. But I want you to finish explaining that here in just a minute. Stand by.

We have to stop doing business with companies that are working against us. And there are many companies, for instance, you have Verizon that you might have great cell service with. They're great company. But they're investing in Planned Parenthood. I don't agree with that. They also invest in things that curb your freedom of speech. I don't want to give them money. I don't care how good their service is.

Well, Patriot Mobile is the exact opposite. I don't think they'd probably have a lot of liberals joining because they take their money and they invested in the Bill of Rights and they fight for the things that we believe in. Start doing business with companies that are not. fighting against you. There are options. Right now, Patriot Mobile has the same great service. They're on the same cell towers.

It's about half the price. And they have special discounts for veterans and first responders and you can get free activation with the offer code back today. It's PatriotMobil.com slash Beck. That's PatriotMobil.com slash Beck. Or you can call them now at 972, Patriot.

Head over to blazedtv.com slash Glenn. the promo code is Glenn for $10 off your subscription to Blaze TV. Captain Casey Murray, he is the president of Southwest Airlines Pilot Association, and he is with us to talk about the vaccine mandates, which the union is against. But they are trying to work with Southwest on getting some information, and they're in the middle of negotiation. You just said that it was not a sickout. you show the numbers that it wasn't. And you said that you're,

you structure things differently. So it's point to point. You don't have a hub. Yes. Yes. We don't have multiple hubs. We have some larger stations, but it's generally point to point.

Okay. And so then what exactly happened then? Well, there was an issue in Florida. And, and so that affected us. And that caused sort of an increasing domino effect. What I have been asking,

for and what our association has identified for four years is, and what we're asking Southwest is to make a proactive statement of what you're going to be doing to make sure this doesn't happen again. We are continuing to see it. We've offered many different solutions scheduling-wise, and that's what we see is sort of inefficiencies in the scheduling processes as well as not complete IT infrastructure and support. these i mean the algorithms that must run the airlines i mean is it a different kind of algorithm that everybody else uses it is it definitely is um you know we have um lots of airplanes going into lots of cities um delta american united do too but they all end up um back in their homes

or Salt Lake or DMW, yes. Dallas. Okay. Let me play a pilot. This went viral over the weekend. I don't know if he's one of your pilots or not. Watch.

You have it? I've been an airline pilot for 18 years and now I'm facing an ultimatum. Not a choice, but an ultimatum. I'm being told in order to continue my careers in airline pilot, I must be vaccinated, which really means I have to choose between putting food on the table, for my family and my freedom of choice.

Whether you believe in vaccination is the right thing to do or not, the situation goes far beyond health. We the American people have fought for freedom for 257 years. We go around the world spreading ideas of freedom and democracy. We help other countries and people fight for their freedoms, while ours are being stripped away. You may think being forced to wear a mask or give vaccination is insignificant, But when you begin to compile mandate after mandate and loss of freedom after freedom, it becomes very significant.

As each thing is taken away, we face what is known as the shifting baseline syndrome. This syndrome changes our idea of a new and acceptable normal. Soon, we will not remember what it was like to have the freedoms we once did. Our children and our grandchildren will experience less freedom, and they won't have the privilege or the pleasure to enjoy the same choices our parents had or that we have. If we give into these mandates and we do not stand up for our freedom of choice, we dishonor every armed service person over the last 257 years, a disservice to the people who have fought and bled for the very freedoms we enjoy.

Whether you believe in vaccination or not, I'm standing up for your freedom of choice. You may support the vaccine mandates because they fall. in line with your current beliefs. But if we let this happen now, there will be a day when what you're told to do will not fall in line with your beliefs. If we do not stand together and fight back in one voice, soon we could be told where to live, what job we will do, what religion to believe, and how many children we can have. So you really want someone telling your children or your grandchildren what, when, and

how they will live every month. minute of their lives. I mean, that is a, that's a reasonable place to be. And is that person going to lose, I mean, I'm not saying he works for Southwest. But if that is the point of one of your union members, do they lose their job if they say, I can't do it? I, my conscience says, I'm violating something sacred to me. Well, that's brought up questions since Gary Kelly said yesterday that, that, uh,

no one will lose their job. But they've told us very clearly that they will terminate you if you don't. Right. If they provide an exemption, medical or religious, are they, and we've had some answers, that they're going to put them on non-paid status. So what is really the difference there? That needs some clarification. And I would say Gary Kelly's statements yesterday actually added some more uncertainty into an already very uncertain mix.

So you're not going to get fired. but they just won't pay you. You're still working. You're still working. But they're not paying you. That's good. I think I had that deal with ABC. Yeah, I remember that one.

I do remember that. Let me, let me go here. Southwest, like JetBlue in the day, you guys have always had a different reputation. And everyone is just falling into line. And it seems to me that somebody has a great opportunity to do something different and to stand up for some of the values. How is this affecting your culture? Well, most of our pilots came to Southwest specifically for that.

That was kind of their psychic wage they got because. And most of them were military pilots, if I'm not mistaken. 50-50. So again, there's that psychic wage that they were paying us because we weren't making as much as Delta American United and still don't have the opportunity to fly heavy jets and across the oceans. And so people came to Southwest very specifically for that. And a lot of them feel very strongly. I feel very strongly about that culture. In the lead-in, as we were getting started, you had mentioned what was going on with Bezos and you mentioned a culture. Yeah. And you mentioned culture and, and Herb Keller, her, started this airline on that very foundational principle. Colleen Barrett, who was, who was his sidekick and one of our beloved leaders for many years, she wrote a book. And it said, during times of stress, you have to be ultra-focused on culture because that's where you lose it. And I would say that for the past five years or so, that's where we've been. And we are fighting for that for all the employees of Southwest Airlines.

We are seeing the degradation of that. We are seeing it become more of a legacy carrier. But that is something that all of us hold very near and dear to our hearts. That will kill you. Because you're not a legacy carrier. You're something different. We are the little scrappy little airline. And our pilots, like I said, I'm so proud of what they did this summer.

I'm proud of what they did this weekend. They will continue to do it. They will protest and let their voices be heard, but it's not going to be at the expense of our customers. They are number one, and I have the utmost respect for every one of them for doing it. Let me play devil's advocate. Let me play the corporate side here for a second. Okay. Let's just say, we don't agree with mandates.

We hate these mandates. But if we don't do it, whether it's an actual mandate or not, this government is using every tool at its disposal, from financial services to bailouts to the FAA. I mean, the FAA, you want a Gestapo, they could become a Gestapo quickly. And what is the corporation supposed to do? Well, I think the corporation, I think it is their duty to all of their employees to fight it to the best of their ability. It's a two-party contract that they have with the federal government that they're using to do this. exerts some pressure.

Delta hasn't announced a mandate yet, or maybe they don't. But I do expect to be fought for. Well, I saw that it's, you know, they say, well, we have government contracts. It's 2%. Yes. I would cut 2% in a heartbeat if it was tying me down to something I didn't believe in. Well, that's a very touchy situation because coming out of COVID, coming out of what we saw last year, 2% is when we had 0% last year.

And I'm not talking to the contract. I mean, we understand that portion of it. But I do expect them to fight and work through alternative means of compliance. Those types of issues, natural immunity, antibodies. I want those questions asked. And answered, because you've already asked them. Yes. Thank you so much for coming in.

And when do you expect to hear? We were hoping to hear something by the end of this week. We're probably going to sit down with him again at the beginning of next week. I spoke with our Vice President of Flight Ops last night. I've spoken to him every night this week. I've also spoken to Bob Jordan as well, and he's been very receptive. Our Vice President said that they were trying to get as much as they could to us as quickly as they can. I will tell you that I have a friend who stayed with me over the weekend.

and flew into or flew out of Vegas to Dallas because it was a $40 flight. And I immediately said Southwest. And they said, yeah. And she was delayed because of the breakdown over the weekend. But she said it was worth $40. I mean, I can't even fill up my gas. Yeah. My gas tank.

That's amazing. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Thank you so much for having me. You bet. Captain Casey Murray is the president of Southwest Airlines Pilots Association. I would, he seems like a decent honorable man and I hope you, I hope you fight for more than just a contract. We are in a situation where we are our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

Things are changing rapidly. Our sponsor this half hour is American financing. Now is a time for you to reduce your monthly bills and start saving money. You need to know, I mean that 100%, we have no idea. where anything is going to be a year from now. We're at a point where home equity levels are red hot, mortgage rates are still competitively low, and you're seeing much lower rates tied to things like personal loans and credit cards, which is why you need to take a moment and consult your budget.

Better yet, you need to take a moment and see if American financing can help you. What bills can be paid down to save a significant amount of money on interest? what solutions are available to make a real difference in your financing. God forbid if you have an adjustable loan, get out of that. It's going up. It's not going to come down. They are a mortgage lender, but they're not going to recommend things like refi unless it's going to help you out financially. They work for you, not the banks. It's American financing, 800, 906, 2440.

800, 906, 2440, American financing.net. American financing, NMLS-182334. NMLS Consumer Access.org This is the Glenn Beck program. I thought he was a, I mean, you know, I don't know what I expect when I meet a union boss, but I thought he was really, I liked him. Really nice.

And I think making really obvious requests, right? Yeah. You know, like if you go get the vaccine, we all know that, you know, some people get sick for a day or two after, like minor side effects, but not ones you're going to go to work with. Right. So you're telling me you can't.

Make sure those are not taken out of the guy's sick days. It shouldn't be out of your sick days if you're asking them to go get this. Correct. That's something that a lot of companies are doing too. Right. And when he talked about the culture, you'd expect Southwest to be the first in line to say something like that. And, you know, for them to have a 50-50 vaccination rate,

that might have something to do with, you know, a lot of their pilots are being, you know, being former Air Force or Navy or whatever. the other thing is there are a different culture you know you are if you're working here right it's not the enemy is certainly not COVID as we know I mean they're letting people

they're not even testing them or forcing them to get vaccines when they come across the border illegally so obviously this is not a COVID related policy it's about control and it's about the fact that they don't want different that's the enemy different is the enemy

you're telling me you can't have a little bit a disagreement about something like this? No, they want diversity. They don't. They do not want to. That is the last thing they want. They do. They just don't want so much white in it. And everybody has to think alike. But other than that, they work totally for diversity. They also don't want Tim Scott. Right. They don't want, they don't want, it has nothing to do with color or race or anything. I mean, you're seeing this. They want universal thought is what they want. They want universal thought that also happens to agree with them. And that's, that goes against.

everything that Southwest has ever stood for. Yeah. I mean, they're the ones that, I mean, they really revolutionized things. Oh, yeah.

And they have no problem standing up to the government. Right. They were the victims of all sorts of ridiculous laws on where they could fly and how they could fly. And he mentioned Herb Kelleher, who really went to bat to stop all that. And, and just said,

no, we're doing it a different way then. Fine. I'd love to hear what the pilots of Southwest have to say about, Casey's appearance here. You know, is that what you're for? Because I was a little confused.

He says the union is against the mandate. Yes. I think they're against the mandate, but then also in addition to that, in addition to the point that there's a lot of the pilots who just don't want the vaccine and have made that choice for whatever reason, in addition to that, there are people who probably

would get it or consider it except for these ridiculous sort of unanswered questions about whether they're going to get paid if they get sick or what's going to happen. You know, he mentioned the myocarditis thing, which is a known rare side effect, particularly on younger men of the... Like pilot age? Yeah, maybe, yeah, right?

Of the, of the MRNA vaccines. It's pretty, you know, pretty rare. I mean, it's one and several million. But as he mentioned, if they have a heart check that has to be put in there every six months, well, what happens? What happens there? Their career is over. The career might be over. There's no place you can go. So understandably, a pilot would say, wait a minute, like, there needs to be a series of

guarantees here that if this happens to me, God forbid. I'm telling you right now, if you were a hospital somewhere in Texas, let's say, and you said, we're not going for the mandate thing. You would have the cream of the crop. You could get the best of people that are, that are, you know, that are really good, they just don't agree with the mandate. We're seeing that with nurses right now. Oh, yeah. We're nurses, some of these nurses in Houston got fired, and they're able to go and get double and triple the pay in other places because, you know, other places don't have the same mandate.

And, you know, if you're a pilot and you don't agree with it, there's, I mean, I think that we have a really good opportunity to self-sort here. I'm not, I'm not doing it because I don't agree with the mandate. You know, that's fine. There's got to be a way to relieve that pressure. Companies that are looking to hire really good people, you've got a lot of them that are leaving their jobs being forced out of their jobs because of the mandate.
