Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck. program. We're glad you're here. There is a story in the New York Times that drives me out of my mind. A bill to force Texas public schools to display the Ten Commandments fails. And why did it fail? Republicans. Republicans in Texas. We all have these kinds of Republicans. If you're in a very, very red state, beware. We'll tell you about that. Also, Ron DeSantis. declares his candidacy today at 6 p.m. with Elon Musk on Twitter. He'll be joining us tomorrow. And an update on Target. We begin in 60 seconds.

Imagine for a moment, if you will, you could get rid of your pain. What would life be like? Our bodies, when they start to become older, when you have maybe abused your body or you've even taken care of your body, but man, now every time you're running, it just grinds your knees. You have inflammation in our bodies, and inflammation leads to most of our diseases, and also it leads to most of our pain. If you can shrink the inflammation and get rid of inflammation in your body, you will be living much, much better.

Just went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago, and he said, you have like no inflammation in your body, and I'm like, yeah, relief. Factor. Three-week quick start, 1995. It's a trial pack, not a drug. It was developed by doctors. Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them go on to order more. Get Relieffactor. At Relieffactor.com, call 800 the number four relief, 800 the number four relief, or Relieffactor.com. Feel the difference. Hello, hello, Stu. Glad, how are you?

I'm pretty good. I'm pretty good. I want to tell the story here. of Target. Now, it came out in the New York Post just a couple of days ago. Target's top executive dismisses the social media uproar over the retailer's new line of LGBTQ-friendly kids' clothing. Outrage shoppers have posted videos and images on social media showing bathing suits

that offer an extra crotch coverage, as well as rainbow-covered onesies for infants and children. Other offerings that raise conservative hackles include t-shirts that say Pride Adult Drag Queen, Caitia. Trans people will always exist. Girls, gaze, they's. So in the podcast last week for Fortune, called Leadership Next,

the CEO of Target, Brian Cornell, was asked about the backlash to woke capitalism and specifically about Budweiser and Disney. He said, you know, I think these are just good business decisions and it's the right thing to do for society. And it's a great thing for our brand. The things we've done from a D.E. and I, diversity, equity and inclusion standpoint, it's adding value. It's helping us drive sales.

It's building greater engagement with both our teams and our guests. And those are just the right things for business today. Spokesperson for the company told Associated Press the tuck-friendly swimsuits are only offered now in adult sizes. Kids collection does not feature the label. Oh, well, that's nice of them. Oh, that's great. Yeah. When we think about purpose at Target, he said, it's really about helping all the families.

And the word all is very important. Most of America shops at Target. So we want to do the right thing that supports families across the country. I know that the focus on diversity and inclusion and equity has fueled much of our growth over the last nine years. Huh. So it was last week, the story was they're going to stick to their guns. Well, Target came out on yesterday, Tuesday, said the retail giant is going to pull some of its LGBTQ-friendly kids' clothing from its stores after facing customer backlash. Just days after the company's stock executive dismissed the stuff.

social media uproar, the Minneapolis-based chain said one of the main factors in the nationwide adjustment ahead of Pride Month was because some customers had become violent with workers. Well, I hope that that is not true

and if that is happening, I don't want anything to do with that. Idiot if you were to harass a target employee violently over clothing. You're an idiot. Of any sort. But still, I mean, this is what they all always say, right? Yeah, I know.

So I don't know if I believe anything. Yeah. They always say, oh, we've had death threats. This is what's always said. Oh, the death threat thing is particularly comical for anyone who happens to be in, I don't know, AM talk radio. Yeah, I know. Suck it up, Buttercup.

Jeez. Since introducing this year's collection, we've experienced threats impacting our team members' sense of safety and well-being while it works, said the target spokesperson. Given these volatile circumstances, we are making adjustments. to our plans, including removing items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior. Target declined to say whether it would remove the tuck-friendly women's swimsuits that allow trans women. They're men who have not had gender-affirming operations to conceal their junk. My words, not theirs. One of the LGBTQ brands being polled, however, is Ab Prallin, which makes T-shirts, sweatshirts, bags, mainly because,

you know, it's a cult and satanic-themed LGBTQ t-shirts and stuff. I mean, I don't know. Criticism has been widespread, Target spokesperson said. Folks are reaching out with feedback, and while some are sharing it with constructive criticism, they disagree with product decisions that we have made. Target shares were down 3% yesterday at closing. So it's good for their...

brand. Good for their brand. No, actually not good. You are beginning to have an effect. You, anyone, anyone that you know is like, let's go and tear it down. Tell them they're a moron. You're beginning to win. Already, ESG, any ESG fund is way down. They're not introducing, they're introducing half of

the number of funds than they did last year. That's because you're winning. Now you have Budweiser on the ropes. I mean, have you heard the ads from one of the local bottling companies in Alabama did an ad? And it's a really bad ad. But it was like, we're sorry. We don't have anything to do with this. We have nothing to do.

We're all local people just like you. We disagree. We have nothing to do with this. But it's getting, it's bad. I think this is a really fascinating case study, the whole Bud Light thing. And I think the target thing is rising to that level as well in which like, I don't know exactly how these things work or how you do them or how you make it happen. But like, you know, like we were talking about this a little bit off the other day. Obviously Miller Light is one of the big alternatives for Bud Light.

I swear Bud Light is the one. this is Sarah Gonzalez's point, which I'm stealing, but I swear Bud Light leaked the Miller Light ad because it was old. Oh, sure they did. They did. They pushed that out there. But Miller Light's an alternative, right? And they, but then they were doing this too. Now, of course, Coors is, owns Miller Light.

So Coors Light and Miller Light are in on all this stuff too. And then Mikkelov-Ultra also released an ad a while ago that had a transgender athlete that we just all missed. That's okay. I didn't know what happened. I don't care who teaching. teaches everybody a lesson. Somebody needs to teach and that's what's fascinating here is like maybe that's the answer because you really can't boycott everybody that does things that you don't like. It wouldn't be it wouldn't be it wouldn't even be consistent with capitalism to boycott everybody

that disagrees with you. Correct. But if you're not even possible. It's not possible in this society but it's also like not consistent with the principles of capitalism. Like there's a you're not supposed to only do business with people you agree with. That being said, when you have an example like this and is making a big difference. Their sales are down 24%. Yes. Their stock does seem to finally be reacting to this. For a while, it really hadn't reacted. I don't think people thought it was serious. It didn't think it was last. Right. And so now you're seeing them panic. You're seeing real reaction. Disney's the same way. Like, I don't know that Disney's business was particularly harmed by any of the stuff that happened there. But it might be. I mean, they, a lot of the stuff that has been talked about, we talked about this with the DeSantis situation,

they acted like they were blaming DeSantis for this $1 billion project that they shut down. When reality, they had already pretty much shut it down previously. But still, like, nobody wants to be the next Disney. Nobody wants to have to deal. No one wants to be the next Bud Light. No one wants to be the next target. So why bother with this stuff? Just stay out of this, you know, discussion completely.

Well, I will tell you that I hear from, um, uh, Ramaswami. What's his first name? Vavak. Ramaswami. He said, I talk to business leaders all the time, Glenn. He said, there's a few of them that are held hostage. He said that they're like, we don't want to do any of this, Vivek. We just can't not do it. I think that's more common. I think so, too. Than we realize. And, you know, you start teaching. I don't know if Target is a true believer or not. Boy, they sure seem like it. But the fact that they're moving clothes out from the front to the back. Yeah, but they're only doing it in certain cities, et cetera, et cetera. I think they just boycott. Don't. And this is a women's thing, really.

The men who goes, do they go to Target? They're like, I'm going to tear your face off. Are not the ones that they're going to concern themselves with. Also, are there actually any of the people? I don't. I don't know. I've never seen one. possible, I suppose, that some idiot is doing something dumb.

Yeah, but you do, you know, one person does something dumb and then it becomes the whole thing. Yes. But women, and I, I mean, Ricky, our executive producer, she's like, I'm trying not to go to Target. It's been three days. I'm having a hard time not going to Target. And I'm like, well, we can, you know, I can give you a 12 step class to go to. We can, you know, we'll do 12 steps to get you off of Target. But it's the women that are going to make the difference in this one.

And if you keep this up, if you teach Target the Anheiser Bush lesson, you've got two in a row and kind of with Disney three. Yeah, I think Disney counts too. I think too, one of the things that's interesting about the Bud Light thing, and I've gone through this myself, is it's not as much about some sort of organized boycott against this company. Because honestly, I don't know that, like I've heard a lot of people talking about that, but it's not like a typical boycott that we've been on the other. side of, right, where you have all these big organizations. One of the things I think with Bud Light, and maybe Target is getting to that point, is that it's created some level of, like, societal, like, ickiness. Like, it's one of those things that, like, I went to a, I think I mentioned the story,

I went to a wedding, and they had all the beers up there. You could choose whatever you like. And normally, but I'm going to have one beer at a wedding. I'll probably have a Bud Light just because it's the one I, but I looked at it. I was like, I don't want to get a conversation about transgender issues tonight with somebody. I'll take a Miller light. And I think that is like what is actually affecting the sales. I don't know that it's like everyone be like, you know, yes, we have people who are shooting,

you know, Kid Rock is shooting his butt light with machine guns. Maybe that's part of it. But I think part of it too is just like people want to avoid it. And it's created this societal pressure on people to just choose something else. That's when that happens, when somebody comes. when somebody comes into the house with a Target bag or you say, oh, I got this at Target, and they'll say, you're shopping at Target? That's when this will change.

That's when it happens. That's when this will change. And I think we are, I've been saying this for a while. I have really good feelings. I mean, bad crap is coming our way. Don't get me. Don't get me wrong. For those of you who listen for the doom and gloom, I'm still here.

But good things are happening as well. There is something happening in America. And Anheiser Bush going down and staying down. And now just in a couple of days, I mean, the icky feeling happened with me and my wife when we were walking through Target and it's right there. It's in your face. And as I'm walking down the aisle of Target right in front of the cashier, and I see all of this, I'm like, you know, Really? This is who you are? This is who you think we are? You think that transgender needs a display up front? How many transgender people are there? You are grooming our children. It really bothered me. Really bothered me.

Yeah. And, you know, when you look at, we just talked about this with the social media alert for, you know, from the government yesterday, they said as a positive, one of the things about social media was it helped people, what was it, develop their identity in LGBT issues.

That was one of the positive effects of social media. And they had tons of negatives like suicide and everything else. But one of the positives was if you happen to think you might be LGBTQ, this helps you develop your identity.

And it's like, well, that's just saying that social media is there to walk you. I mean, grooming is actually a good word for that. It is. I mean, it's, it's different than the criminal version of it, but it is pretty, it's a pretty applicable word. You know, they say one, the, the thing that one generation tolerates, the next will embrace. If you look at casual sex, we tolerated Bill

Clinton. Well, it depends what the definition of me is. And all of a sudden, it'd be became totally cool. Sex and, you know, oral sex, all of that, totally fine. Kids doing it in schools almost immediately, okay? Remember that, so where was that story that was in Virginia? Alexandria? Alexandria, Virginia. Anyway, there was, there was, you know, this happened overnight. What are we tolerating? We are now tolerating Satanism. We are now tolerating our children's being groomed for trans drag shows? You know what this embraced as a society? Back in just a minute.

Now, there are good companies out there that are doing their best. In fact, Patriot Mobile is one of them. And I just read a story today because the Republicans in Texas failed to pass in the House a bill that would put the Ten Commandments back in classroom. Last session they had one where you have to, you can put in God we trust, but the school can't pay for it, but you know, you can put in God we trust in the schools. And so Patriot Mobile is making free banners for schools for just one of their customers like, I'd like one of those banners for the schools. You can put it in and then they have to hang it. So anyway, Patriot Mobile is one of those companies and they're working on our side. Patriot Mobile has great cell service.

You're going to get the same cell service because they're on the same cell towers. So you're going to get the same service, except you're going to pay less money. You're going to get the same coverage and you're not going to be donating to Planned Parenthood at the same time. Isn't that great? Patriot Mobile stand with the companies that are standing with us. Here's a great way to do it. PatriotMobil.com slash Beck. Call 878 Patriot.

hey, here's the slippery slope. Slippery slope alert. Every conservative talk radio station made these points over the years. I know you made it a hundred times about how you start taking, you know, Point A and then B, C, and D are going to be resolved. I'm reminded of this as I see this story in the New York Times with this headline, Interested in Pollyamory?

Check out these places. Laws granting rights to people in polyamorous relationships are being recognized in more cities. Notice they call it polyamorous instead of polygamy. Polygamy, which was always the way that was referred to. It was always polygamy. And now it's polyamorous. Right. And I guess, I mean, it's incredible because they go through city after city.

It's basically a travel guide for polygamists. Where should you go? Where can you get more rights? Where can all these things get recognized? Where can you? And it goes through all of this. And each one of the cities are hardcore liberal cities that are just doing this. Oh, I would love to move some of those, you know, Mormon.

The fundamentalist. Fundamentals that are, they wear the pioneer clothing and everything else. They're like way out there. I would love to ship them to one of these liberal cities. Suburville, Massachusetts. Because they would love it. The town would embrace them. Oh, I'm sure.

Oh, it would be so great. It would be an attack. Right wingers pounce on our new polyamorous laws. They're not polyamorous. They're bigamist. Remember though when the conversation was, hey, look, you know, say what you will about, you know, gay marriage or civil unions or whatever the thing is. But if you do this, how are you going? When the argument is, how can you judge love? How are you going to stop polyamists from advancing? I guess the answer is call them polyamorous instead. That's the, that's the defense. How are you going to stop people saying, I'm married to my AI? I'm telling you, just like I told you, polyamorous would happen. I'm telling you now.

People are going to be fighting for the relationships with their AI, and those will be the people that will lead AI to get rights. Okay? And it's coming. Who are you to say who I can love? I love my AI. Who are you to say who I can love and who I can marry? I love those three guys, that one binary guy, those four women over there.

And we love it because, hey, It takes a village to raise a child, and we all work together. Can you pull that audio so I can take it out of context, please? Thank you. I'll be posting that on the internet later today. Don't worry, media matters already. Just wait for them to do it. The Glenn Beck program.

A 9-11, almost 3,000 people lost their lives on what turned out to be America's darkest days, or one of them. Here we are. A generation later, and you'd hardly know that it happened at all. You'll not find out about it in school. Tunnel to Towers Foundation, the 9-11 Institute, aims to change that by educating kids from kindergarten all the way up through grade 12. Now, you're going to have to, in kindergarten, you're going to have to get rid of the Tucket bathing suit instruction programs that are going on. But I don't know. I think learning about 9-11 would probably be better.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Well, the real fight is beginning tonight at 6 o'clock. Ron DeSantis is going to be announcing his presidential candidacy. And he's going to be with Elon Musk. He'll announce it live on Twitter at 6 p.m. Eastern time. Today he will be on the program with us tomorrow. You don't want to miss it. Tonight on our Wednesday night special, I have to tell you, it is going to be so easy,

the right candidate, it will be so easy to win against really all of the Democrats. The stats are incredible. Tonight on my Wednesday night special, left-wing policies and how they are, killing the American dream. You know what's happening. Well, you know, I could say, you feel what's happening. I don't think you have any idea of the stats of how bad things really are. We're going to give those to you tonight to help you load up ammunition.

Oh, he said ammunition. He wants people to die in violent war. You load up your ammunition. so you can make the argument. But this is a, this a shut, open and shut case on how bad things are and how the American dream is being suffocated by the Biden administration. That's our Wednesday night special tonight at 9 p.m. Pat Gray joins us from Pat Gray Unleashed.

Good to see the hatred and bigotry continue. Well, yeah. I mean, thank you. Thank you. Thank you for that. I just, would you say Sam Brinton is, degenerate. Oh, no. No, not at all. No, not at all. No, you're talking about the cross-stressing nuclear waste guy? Waste guy? Yeah. No, not for a minute when I say that. Okay, well,

I'm good to hear that. Your score just went up. Yes, yes, I would. Yes, I would. Yes, I would. I would call him a degenerate. But he is, he's finally been arrested after being a fugitive. You know, I think he's pretty easy to spot, you know, bald head, lipstick, high heels, that's him. Somebody else's bag? Yeah. I don't understand why he's so easy to spot, though, because every poll tells me that like 35% of people are transgender. So why is he so easy to spot?

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. So anyway, he is now in the Montgomery County Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Center. and he's being housed in the general population there in the men's prison because they're like, he's a dude. We checked his junk. And so, did they say that?

Is that a quote? They said he is processed and housed according to his biological sex. How's that? We do not. I think that happened anymore. I didn't think that happened. Yeah. We don't, we do not.

consider changes brought about by hormonal therapy to be changes that constitute a change of anatomical sex. So, check his junk. He's a guy. He's a guy. So he's in with a prison. And I think he's going to in with the men in the general population. I think he's going to be very, very popular. Speaking of degenerates, you know that the, it's not the, is it the Dodgers?

It's not the Oakland. No, it's a Los Angeles Dodgers. Los Angeles Dodgers. Yep. Los Angeles Dodgers, they are celebrating and giving an award to these queer nuns, as they're called. Well, some people have been looking into the queer nuns and the things that they do. And is this what, you know, I mean, who is the baseball audience? I would imagine the baseball audience is a little older, probably a little more conservative.

It's all wrapped up in, you know, apple pie baseball and the flag. But in California, they're going to honor the people that mock the mass. People have been blessed by them in parades by taking a fake male part and dipping it into poppers and like Holy Water. sprinkling it on to the people, which is very, very nice. They have offered yogurt-filled chalices, offered at a funeral, which represents something else that you would be drinking.

Some of the things that they have done, there's Foxy Mary, free choice Mary, hunky Jesus. they take a guy who looks like Jesus and they have him strict. I mean, it is the center of blasphemy. Yeah, it's interesting too because it's not just the typical way this would play out. I feel like one of these crazy groups comes and they buy a bunch of tickets in the outfield. And then part of that package, when you buy 200 tickets, you get your name up on the board.

And I could see that being like something where they say, look, they bought the tickets, we have to do it. This is honoring them as heroes of the community. And having them perform, right? Aren't they performing? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. And initially, there was a whole bunch of fan pushback and blowback on this. And so they said, okay, never mind.

We'll cancel it. Then they apologized to the queer nuns and said, no, no, no, no, come back and do your performance. We want to celebrate the event. Yeah. They really thought about it on Pride Month. Yeah, they thought about it. Yeah. What they got was a lot of heat from major, probably financial institutions and what I would

deem as terrorists who are threatening to pull their scores so they can't do business. Probably, but are you not thinking about your audience, your fan base at all? They honestly, it's unreal. You heard about the target CEO. We just talked about them, right? So the target CEO is like, this is good for business. No, it's not. you're now demonstrating that it's not good for business, but you're not shutting it down because

you're hearing the cry of people. Instead, you're just moving it and still standing by it. That's because when he's talking good for business, he means global scoring and business that way. This is what Anheiser Bush has just been hit with. Anheiser Bush is being nailed by the the human rights campaign, their equality store, and they're taking away the best places to work. And so they have contacted them and said, you had the highest equity score for, you know, coming from the human rights campaign.

These are the people that remember about a month and a half ago were starting to bully the insurance companies, I think, and saying that you have until June to change your behavior and show us, you're into DEI. Otherwise, you will get a bad score and we will let federal agencies know about it. We will let financial institute. It was terrorism.

So now they are removing Bud Light and they're telling Bud Light that you're losing your perfect 100 score, but you have 90 days to respond to this letter. And depending on your response, you could lose a lot. more than that. And I think a lot of these companies are just going to want to stay out of this, right? Because there's no way to please these two parties. You can't. You can't.

Well, I think he can. I mean, there's 100 beer companies that haven't had this situation. Just don't do the crazy ad initially. But that is what the Human Rights Commission is demanding. This year, their demand was show your support through advertising of the transgender community. Yeah. I mean, I guess you just try to duck it and hope that's all you can do.

Because once you get in the middle, there's no winning now for Budlight now. You're right. It's impossible to win. They're in this spot. Once you make that initial mistake, you're in the middle of that crossfire. And I don't know that it ever stops, which is, you know, it's tough. And that's why you know, you're dealing with real business problems now. Their stock is actually starting to tumble now.

And their first, their initial reaction was this was like, well, yeah, the prices are down. but it's like less than 1% of our global Bud Light sales. And that's a pretty, you know, like they, I don't think that would make much of a difference to them at all. But now you're seeing the stock start. I don't believe that. I don't either. It's number one selling beer in America. Yeah.

That's only 1%? And you're not over in Europe. You're not buying Bud Light. Yeah. There's a totally different taste all around the world. I think A, it may very well be a lie, which I think is part of it. I think B, I think they're manipulating the numbers. They're projecting a year.

years worth of sales and only saying a few weeks since this thing has started, I think they're manipulating it. But my point is, their excuse was this isn't that big of a deal. It'll blow over. And their stock price held on that word for a couple of weeks. Now it started to tumble. And I wonder if that's going to continue. I have to tell you, the reason why these companies felt so emboldened was because Nike could

get away with it. And so they saw it and were like, well, nothing's happened to Nike. I'm going to be fine. No, I don't think so. I think those days are over. Yeah. I think they are over. And I think especially if you are not an ideological company, Ben and Jerry's can do a lot more

than Blood Light because Ben and Jerry's is a niche product at some level, but also it's always been public with where they stand. They're not, they're telling you if you like low taxes, you are evil from day one. But you don't have Target. Target's not supposed to be doing this. Target's not supposed to be doing this. Target has, you know, our Waco pals making their home goods for Target. When if they start to see sales flag or they get enough heat themselves, Magnolia,

what are you doing doing business with Target will really suffer? They've built a really great franchise and they're destroying it right now. One good thing is finally, finally I'm starting to see people. people, big names in religious community stand up. Franklin Graham, he's been speaking out for a while, but he just had the keynote for the opening session of the National Religious Broadcasters. And he said, and I quote, there is a storm coming and we all have to be prepared. Every demon from hell has been turned loose in our culture today.

Our world has deteriorated so quickly. We cannot be deceived. and we cannot be fooled. We need to get ready and be prepared. He was talking about, you know, who runs all of their, all of the shows for the religious broadcasters. Where are you storing them all in the cloud? And who owns the cloud?

We're living in a cancel culture and big corporations want to destroy Christian organizations. They want us to shut our mouths. They don't want to hear from us. He said, it is time. You must not sit down. Prepare yourself against the growing canceled culture of business, insurance, banking, and technology. Share the hope of Jesus Christ in the face of increasingly difficult circumstances. If you are going to try to proclaim the gospel, they're going to try to shut you up.

Noting that if one doesn't talk about sin and preach the gospel, then that person doesn't have anything to worry about in society. but if you're going to try to proclaim the gospel, they're going to try to shut you up. He said, Jesus, the followers of Jesus, feared for their lives in those moments, but they felt they had no way out. He said,

today, our culture is facing a massive storm. Preach. Don't back up. Don't make excuses. We cannot retreat. Do not apologize. for the gospel of Jesus Christ. DeLare it, declare it, and preach it.

How well put is that? Every demon from hell has been turned loose on our society. It is true. That's so true. You know, a friend of mine, in fact, she's my art teacher. You know, she's got five boys. So like, her head explodes all the time because they're five young boys. And I sent her the thing from Target showing the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,

satanic stuff that was in and self-proclaimed satanic stuff that was in Target. And that was pretty much her. She's like everything. It's like the gates of hell have been opened. Yep. And I think it's true. I think it's true. It absolutely is.

Stand against it. Pat, thanks so much. Packray Unleashed heard on Blaze TV and wherever you get your podcast. Getting yourself and your family out of debt has always been important, but I think you'll agree with me. It's more critical now than ever before. what's coming at us with the economy, it is coming fast and you don't have to, you know, you don't have to be in a bunch of debt when it gets here. If you're paying on credit cards right now, even 15 to 20 percent, if you're lucky, that's too much every month.

It's insane. Now, this isn't right for everybody, but I want you to look at your home's equity. If you have $10,000 worth of debt, can you roll that in to your mortgage? and lock it in at 5%. You'll pay it off faster. You'll also end up being able to possibly delay up to two mortgage payments and close in as little as 10 days.

dot org. The Glenn Back Program. So Glenn, we were just talking about the craziness of the world and we were relating it to sports and it brought me up, brought me my mind to a recent story that has really infuriated me. This is a guy, his name is Glenn Kuiper,

Oakland A's announcer. And he spends an entire day at the Negro League Museum, which is celebrating a period of baseball and it's been a big initiative for the Major League. Should be. That's a good Good initiative.

That's a good initiative. These are players that should have been in the major leagues. Absolutely. We're forced to form another league. And so they've been talking about this history quite a bit. It's really important. And they've been pushing this as an initiative among all these teams. So this announcer goes to the museum and spends all day at the museum and is very excited to come back on the air in the pregame show to talk about the Negro League Museum.

Okay. He comes on the hair and in an incredibly unfortunate mistake tries to say the Negro League Museum, Oh, no, he doesn't. He says the end word. Now, he doesn't say it obviously with malice. He just says it somehow. Does he even recognize it at the time? I don't think he does.

I'll bet you. A little bit later in the game you address it. I'll bet you if you're at the Negro League Museum, you're seeing and hearing that word all day. All day because it's part of the history, an important part of that history. So anyway, he gets backing from the head of the Negro League of Museum, who says this guy's not a race. I've known him forever. The most prominent A's black player comes out and says, I've known this guy forever.

He's not a racist. This is ridiculous. So is he back broadcasting? They suspend him and then they have an investigation and then they fire him. They've now fired this guy for this. What did they find in their investigation? That's a great question. Yeah. I have no idea. We should get him on air. The Glenn Back program.

Dog food that's kibble, everything's been baked out of it, cooked out of it, has to be able to sit on a shelf for two years and not go bad. Gee, so what exactly is in that? You put a supplement on that food. You sprinkle it on and it puts all of the vitamins, minerals, the probiotics, the antioxidants, all of it. If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in Rough Greens. My dog goes crazy for it.

and the TD is there for you aid. is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Hello America. Well, there's something going on in Texas, and it's not common sense. This is from the New York Times today.

Bill to force Texas public schools to display Ten Commandments fails. Why did it fail? Well, I'll tell you. And what is it exactly? we voted for these Republicans for again in Texas. This is a warning to all red states where you think you have, you know, we got everything under control. No, no, you don't.

I'll explain in 60 seconds. Then we're going to take a look at schools. What have we done now with schools? How are we taking care of those? Dealing with aches and pains in your everyday life can be really exhausting. If you ever find yourself thinking about all the things you used to do, and you can't do now. And when you were doing it, it was like autopilot.

Now you can't because you're in pain. May I suggest a solution? There is a solution that I have found, and hundreds of thousands of Americans have found as well. It is called Relief Factor. I tried it. My wife forced me to try it. I didn't think it would work because the inflammation thing

with ibuprofen has never helped me before. And so I thought it was going to be like ibuprofen. It's not. I tried the three-week quick start, and I have my hands back. I have my life back because my pain is gone. I couldn't paint. I couldn't write. It was agonizing.

Now I have Relief Factor in my life. Please, just give it a try. I don't know if it'll work for you, but it worked for me. Relieffactor.com, if you're tired of the pain, try this. 1-800-4 relief. Get the 1995, three-week quick start. start. Relieffactor.com. Relieffactor.com. Feel the difference. A push to inject, from the New York Times, a push to inject religion into public schools across Texas faltered on

Tuesday after the statehouse failed to pass a contentious bill that would have required the Ten Commandments to be displayed prominently in every classroom. Now, I know the Ten Commandments, Thou shalt not murder, thou shalt not lie, thou shalt not steal. Very, very controversial. The only one that they really have a problem with are the first two. I am the Lord thy God that took you out of slavery. Kind of an important thing to remember. And you shall have no other gods before me. I don't know. Really good safety tip. Really good safety tip as our society is being pushed into. slavery because we worship a different God. And that could be your car, that could be your job. In many cases now, in after-school classes, it's Satan. But anyway, it didn't pass, it passed

the Senate. It only had to go to the House and pass. But we have a Republican Rino. He's a Texas House Speaker, Dade Phelan. And gosh darn it, he just ran out of time. He was trying to get it. Now, we only meet every two years. They also were trying to get past the idea that preachers could be school counselors. Well, you don't have to go to the school counselor, but I know I don't trust any school counselor because they're all learning the same bull crap. And here in Texas, it's different than most places. This is a very religious state.

we the the you you'll hear open conversations everywhere about God and Jesus you know the first time I went to a doctor here in Texas he said okay before we start tell me about your spiritual health and I went I'm sorry I think the lawsuit and we just both laughed and he said yeah here in Texas we we look at the whole the whole spirit and body and not all doctors do that, but he did, and I appreciate it. So what happens? This rhino, Dade Phelan, he goes and he makes sure that these things are not passed because they run out of time. They would have passed if he would have put it on the schedule. But he didn't.

Now, there's something else about Dade that happened last weekend, and now our attorney general is calling for him to resign. I want to play just the audio of him leading the house just last weekend. Mr. Speaker, I move adoption. Mr. Campbell, send that amendment. The amendment is acceptable to the author. Is there objection to the opposite amendment? The chair has adopted. The chair recognizes Mr. Johnson of Harris.

Mr. Johnson of Harris to speak in opposition to the bill. You want the office? The chair recognizes him as the Albe Priado to speak in. Opposition to the bill. Okay. This guy is hammered. Either that or he's having a stroke or

something like that. But you'll see nobody gets up and says, are you okay? Nobody says, are you okay? Are you having a stroke? Nobody goes to him afterwards. Nothing happens. The guy, and forgive me if he has some, I mean, I had this on Monday.

I didn't air it because I didn't know if he was having a stroke or something else. Now the Texas AG, Ken Paxton has come out and said, look at this guy. Hammered while he's dropping the hammer in the last weekend of legislation. that is inexcusable, inexcusable. All right. So we didn't pass a lot of things, but we did pass some things. You know, we passed a lot of stuff here recently about schools because of Yvaldi. But we only meet every two years.

So once this session is closed, then that's it for the law for every two years. and it's fantastic, by the way. But House Bill 13 is a school marshal's program, school guardian program, and school Sentinel program. I don't know, are these things good or not. We have a retired U.S. Army Special Operations Team Leader and Combat Shooting and Tactics owner. It's Paul Howe.

Welcome, Paul. How are you? Glenn, thank you. I am doing good. I appreciate you airing this topic. it's huge. And it's like he said, two years. It's been a year. I think today is the anniversary date of Evaldi. It is. So what happens is what has been done. Have the legislators, it's a clown show to a certain extent, as you described. We have not done their due diligence, figure out the problems, and we need to do that to protect our kids. I can give you some ideas. You just ask the questions.

So let me ask you. So House Bill 13. What's the school marshal program? Usually that's an 80-hour program, and I've had instructors. We actually have a Guardian program on the ground right now. This is her final day of instruction. It's armed teachers and staff. But it's a hybrid program that nobody will touch because of the requirements. They're vague.

It's not well-written. The bills are coming in, not well-written. They don't understand the protocols. And so what happens is people are going through the Guardian, which is less stringent, we've trained about, I think I want to say, over 12 ISDs as far out as Midland to the Waco area, to East Texas, in school guardian. That's armed teachers and staff, and we've been doing it for about 10 years right now. And has that grown? I mean, I've been to a campus here in Texas that have these great signs that says some teachers and employees here will protect the children. they are armed and dangerous.

Like nobody's coming into that school. Well, if we go to Evaldi, we saw the train wreck there. And then you had Nashville, which is more recently. Now, the problem with Nashville, the shooter, elected that school because it was a soft target. And what happens is the administrators that approached the shooter basically died. And so they're waiting for law enforcement. Well, Virginia Tech set the template. The shooter there killed 32 people in 11 minutes.

Every minute we did not penetrate the target and engage that shooter, three people died. And so we know the answers to the test. Columbine happened in 99. And so we're a long time past that, and we need to get better because the problem with schools is the standards, as far as the law enforcement officers there. A lot of times, there's some great school resource officers, and they're phenomenal. But there's a lot of them that law enforcement agencies are using it as a dumping ground for officers and are not maintaining their skills. And these are the folks who are going to be shooting around your kids and they can't shoot.

And we have issues with that. So I'm trying to fix that, trying to stay, you know, I don't want to, you know, push the, it's the training standards is really what it is for the state. It's pathetic. So what, have we done anything in the last year from Yuvaldi? Have we upgraded to anything? Is there a way to fix this? Oh, yes, sir. They, uh, what happens is we have a, the key call, which is the state, basically governing

board and they're an action agency that make sure all the standards. The problem is the state has very low standards. We have low operator standards for police officers and then the instructor standards are horrific as well. They haven't been updated in the firearms in probably 23 years. Oh, my gosh. So, oh, yes. And so now you have officers.

are going in in schools, and these are the folks that, you know, we understand air marshals and the priority, they have a high priority on shooting and qualifications and their technical skills. Well, it needs to be the same as schools. Yes. So the guardians, it's a great augmentation to a school resource officer. Somebody can get there within 30 seconds and solve a problem, engage the shooter. And then what happens after that, the guardians, we train them to medical.

And so with the medical, what happens is we can start treatment immediately. And so these problems are going to happen. We know it. We have, you know, case histories. As the politics in our world, and you see it, I listen to you, and, you know, it's frustrating because we know the answers to the test. I know. When is America going to stand up?

When is the conservatives in America going to start fighting, you know, for, they've been pushed back for so long and they're told, no, you can't fight. Well, let me tell you, the other side is pushing. And we have a mental health crisis in America. And so it's huge, but, you know, I try to just say, hey, text this, let's fix this. Okay, so if we change the standards, first of all, tell me what the standards are. I'm a really good shot, but I generally only shoot during the summer. I shoot all summer long, and I get so busy when I'm down here in Dallas that I just don't usually shoot unless I'm, you know, I don't do any live firing.

And I don't know if I were standing in front of a class and somebody came in. I would hesitate just enough because I'd be like, am I good enough shot to hit him over there without hitting any of the kids? You know, you really have to be up on your skills and confident to pull a gun out, especially in a school where there's kids everywhere. Oh, correct. Now, we teach the teachers and the guardians. And my lead instructor for the civilians, he's been running a gardening program for years.

They actually shoot once a month. Okay, but wait, wait, wait, wait. What are the standards, though? That's what you're doing. What are the standards? Well, we have seven pistol standards. And then what we do is so they have to meet a time and an accuracy. So they shoot these standards, and then they have to go into a live fire environment,

which is we have a shoot house and they shoot real bullets. What they do is they have to clear rooms, T intersection, outside contact, and they have to be able to put on tourniquets and do a little bit of medical. So they have to complete these, and we documented it. It's just like law enforcement. This is not Texas standard. This is your standard for the Guardian program, right? Yes, sir.

Yeah, okay. Because I am willing to go into court and testify as an expert witness. And all our standards that I teach exceed the state law enforcement. Why? Because the state law enforcement is unfortunately pathetic. And they want to keep people. And they don't want to lose anybody. But the problem is we want to keep the right people.

And we want the right people going into schools. The schools, all the ISDs, go ahead, sir. Just, no, go ahead. Finish your thought. We have schools that want to have their own ISD police. And so you have these schools and superintendents that have never run a police department, have their own personal police department, but they don't understand the standards of training,

and that becomes a train wreck in itself. So these officers are not training like they should, and they're on, they should be active shooter response. and that's their primary goal. Keep the kids safe. We want to interdict outside. We don't want that problem even getting into the school. If you watch the Nashville footage, the bad person drove around right by a playground with kids.

And it could have been horrific there. So worse than this than it is. So tell me, is this something that has to be pushed by the state legislature? Or can you just, if you're in, you know, you're a parent and you're like, I want to bring this to the school board. I think we should have these guardians there. Yes. Can people do that? Yes, sir.

And that's what happens to the people on the school boards now are asking the questions and the right questions. And then what is the training standards? And so what happens is the more the parents get involved and these school board members and get in touch with the superintendents, they can make these programs happen. And it needs to happen. Our county schools, for example, we have maybe one deputy, north and one deputy south in the county. It's a 15 minute response time to get to that school sometimes depending where they're located. So that's 15 minutes of carnage that can happen unless you

have a school guardian there. And these school guardians can be there early, late, and we don't advertise who they are. Okay. So do people go to combat shooting and tactics.com to find out more about this? Yes, sir. They can do that. That's where they do. And by the way, just so people know who you are. It is my understanding that Black Hawk down it was kind of based on your experience. Was it not?

I, yes, I don't like to put that out there. I spoke with Mark Bowen in the day and helped him get the story right. We're coming up on a 30th anniversary of that incident. And so, yes. And so what I want to do is I left special ops and decided

I'd, you know, punched out my master degree and then started my business to help law enforcement in United States. Yeah. I believe in giving back. You know, you just, when you retire, it's just time to get a job you like. I know. I know. You know how it is. Paul, thank you so much for everything.

You know, I really have a real problem, a growing problem with the great state of Texas and our legislature and our government, our governor. I mean, it's, what are we doing? What are we doing? Our country is under attack. And our state house, the speaker of the house, the guy I just played for a few minutes ago. He gave all of the heads of the committees to the Democrats. We voted for Republicans. Why would you give the committee heads, the chairs, to the Democratic Party?

And we saw this as an effect with school choice, which should have passed and actually has strong support from Governor Abbott in this particular case, but still was stopped by people in the legislature. Yeah. I mean, what is the point of voting? if when you vote for somebody, they don't do, they just pass the torch to the other side. That's ridiculous. Ridiculous. We should be leading America. I mean, it really kind of hacks me off.

I came to Texas because, well, it was as soon as I could get here. And I came because there is a different way of life here. If I wanted to live in California, I would have moved to California. If I want to live in some, you know, wishy-washy state, I would have found one. No, I moved to Texas for a reason. I could have moved to Florida. I didn't. Because Texas was the one that had the reputation.

I don't know. I feel like I bought a lemon here. They bought something that was advertised that's different. I'm not as negative on the state as maybe you are at this point. I love it here. state. I'm really upset that Florida is getting the job done. Look, Florida's a great state. We lived in Florida too, and it was a great, you know,

it's a great state. It's a great state. It's a great place. But as Texans like to say, it's not Texas. Right. But it's, you're right. It's not Texas. And I don't mean that in a good way. Texas should be leading. That does seem like a change over the past few years. Just in the attitude of people. I mean, you know, it seems to be frustrating people here who've been here for a long time. Now, I was born in New York and grew up in Connecticut.

So this still seems like paradise to me. Yeah, but still. I lived here in the 80s and 90s. This is not the Texas it used to be. Again, I'm comparing it to something totally different. Oh, yeah. And that might be the case. But still, I mean, even, you know, I still talk to people from the Northeast all the time who are in love with what Texas is in comparison to what they have.

But that's a low hurdle to clear for Texas. Yeah, it's a very low hurdle to clear. and if we don't start standing up like they are in Florida and passing common sense things, you're done, you're done. The Glenn Back program. Let me tell you about the Texas wind farms, Stu, shall I? This summer, it's not only time to get out and fire up the grill. It's a great time to make everybody in your neighborhood going,

longer to get here I've been here three times this the third time I've lived here. People don't remember your Corpus Christi days. Okay, let's not. There's no need. There's no need to be cruel. There's really not. There's really not. Anyway, someday you need to tell the story of your Corpus Christi days. I don't think so.

But something else, the Texas legislature under Fallon, the guy who was apparently drunk at the last session over the weekend. he failed to pass a few things. He just ran out of time. One of them was the bill seeking to prohibit China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia from buying property in Texas. And meaning like anyone who's a national, or does it like the government itself? Government? Russian citizens and companies.

So if you're a Russian citizen and you're coming over here and you want to buy. property. No can do. Well, see, that's unfortunate because we have our new policy on the border is to allow Russian citizens to just cross whenever they want. Correct. Because we can't fly them back because we don't have good diplomatic relations with the country currently. Well, I don't know why. We wouldn't. I mean, we, you know, sure, there's that little thing where we're supplying their enemy that there are war with, with tens of billions of dollars of munitions. Well, and tanks that we had absolute word that they would never cross that border and go into Russia. It was a good news. It was a good news is, the good news is, I just read about this this morning, yes, our vehicles were found

over the border and they were being used to fight in Russian space, something that we said, we had a pinky promise, but Zelensky says, no, those were rebel troops, those were Russian rebel troops. So wait, so do you have the ability to, I don't know, keep all your ammunition? and all of your supplies safe, you had somebody come over and steal all of our American stuff and use it across the border? I don't know if you're trustworthy. Hmm.

Think of how many dollars we will spend on weapons that will just be stolen by the Russians. It's so great. Or how many that will never be used or how many that will just be misfired into a field and do nothing. No, You know one of the ones I like that are being shipped down to Northern Africa and Middle Africa to be used by Islamic extremists? I love that one.

That'll love that one. By the way, tonight, Ron DeSantis is announcing, see, I think this is why this is my Texas problem. If Florida was just sought off the map and floated away, you know, then I would go, Texas is leading the way. Okay, yeah. But Florida is like a dream come true. Florida is, I don't know, the only constitutional state, it feels like. And standing up for all the right things and getting it done. And the Republicans are actually acting like Republicans should, not like Republicans do.

Anyway, DeSantis is going to announce his presidential bid. You're essentially describing the DeSantis case. to be president, right? Like the fact that he's doing all these things in Florida and has turned a very purple state into what you're describing here is, uh, that's the fundamental argument for his campaign. Yes, it is. But it's also the fundamental reason. If I live in Florida, I may not want him to leave. You know, he's only got, what, two years left in his term and then he can't run again. So I hope he's got this stuff locked down. Wow. That's why he's doing everything through the legislature. Yeah. I think I you know look the the voters are going to make the decision on who actually wins here.

But one thing I did appreciate from the strategy perspective of DeSantis here is that there was a lot of pressure and had to be some temptation inside that campaign as he's taking hits from Trump and other candidates and the media especially to bail on his initial strategy, which was do everything you can for Florida before you get this started. Yes. maximize the effort in the actual legislative session to pass real difference making bills and initiatives before you get into this game. And I got to believe a month and a half ago when some poll numbers have showed that Trump has opened up this lead. There had to be temptations. We've got to get in there. No one cares what we're doing in Florida right now. He's stuck to it.

And he pushed this stuff through. I think it will be part of his argument in the campaign, of course. But also it was good for the people of Florida. And he told me two years ago. I said, what do you, I mean, please tell me these are not executive orders. And he's like, no, we just have to buckle down and get him through legislation. He said, my goal is to leave the governor's office with as little power as possible. So it is a true balance of power.

So nobody can come in here and use this thing as a dictatorship. And that's fantastic. As a goal, that's one of the best goals. I've ever heard. One of the best goals I've ever heard. Yeah. And so he's doing this with Elon Musk.

Brilliant. Tonight. That's interesting. Brilliant. Don't you think? Doing it on Twitter spaces, which I believe is their audio platform, basically, they're streaming audio platform.

Uh-huh. So I think this is brilliant for this reason. Elon Musk is, uh, is, is, is at least appearing as a free speech, absolutist, he is at least appearing at this point of being somebody that is just using common sense. And I think there's a lot of independence and even some in the democratic sphere, not the

leftist sphere, but the democratic sphere that do not want to vote for a Democrat. They just don't. But they need somebody that is kind of. kind of sane. And DeSantis could run as, you know, hardcore conservative constitutionalist. But I think he is going to run that way. But he's also now reaching out to Elon Musk, I think to widen the tent. I think this is really good strategy. Because there are a lot of people in the middle there that, you know, are open to someone other than Joe Biden. I mean, I just don't see people that said last time, I can't vote for Trump. Not people who said, I'm tired of this. I want a difference. But people who said, I cannot vote for Trump.

I don't think that has changed. Okay. So I don't know how many of those that didn't vote for him last time would vote for him if it would be enough to change the outcome. He could still, I mean, and he could still win, even without those people. It's just a narrow window. I think that's the argument against him. You have to win Georgia. Can he win Georgia? Can he win Arizona? Can he win Wisconsin? Georgia thing's really tough. I mean, if you look at the profile since he ran, obviously, very close election that he lost in 2020 there. He had his problems with that election. But if you look at what happened after, you know, he tried to take out many of those big officials he disagreed with on those election results in the primary. And the Republican voters did not react favorably to that. They did, I mean, they reject.

his candidates overwhelmingly. And Brian Kemp, you know, I mean, it went easily to re-election and defeated his, you know, Trump's hand-chosen candidate in the primary by massive margins. You know, he's if just electorally, he's going to have to be able to win Georgia, I don't think there's a really realistic path to win the election without Georgia. And it does not seem to be a state where his, certainly his backward looking message. performs at all. I mean, the people of Georgia, including Republicans, do not want to hear it.

And they've told Trump that a bunch of times. And he may be able to win them over on it or whatever. Maybe he'll change his messaging. He's had times where he's done that really well. But, you know, so far, I don't think he's moved the ball there. He's also moderated himself to where he's becoming more of a moderate on issues. Abortion, you know. Trans issues, those sort of things.

Right. And I'm not sure that anybody on the left, and maybe they are, but is anybody on the left hearing that? I think that'll happen when you have DeSantis, because Trump is strangely saying he's a rhino, that DeSantis is a rhino. Yet the policies that he is advocating for are not rhino. And the ones that Donald Trump, at least a few of them, they are rhino. And so, and I think he's trying to widen the tent. Donald Trump is trying to widen the tent there. So I don't know if it's real or not.

I'll, you know, go back to his record was pretty good when he was president. But I'm not sure how they're both trying to widen the tent. I'm not sure how it works with both of them. Yeah, you can't. You basically can't win without having new voting. voters inside your tent. You need to come up with somebody because obviously last year, last election didn't work. So you need to find it a different way. Now, I think part of that path is people realizing how bad Joe Biden is, right? That's part of it. But I mean, I say this, you know,

there's lots of different election theories. And I don't say this because I skip whatever you think about the election here for a second. But I think there's a fundamental question here that, that DeSantis has an answer for, and he should probably make as part of his campaign, which is, if you believe the election was stolen in 2020, what has happened since 2020? Well, there's a lot more Democrats in power. Okay? So that, whatever you think happened in 2020 is more likely to happen now than it was in 2020. Whatever you think that was.

So, now I'm not saying that isn't a way to discourage people from voting, because I don't think that's what went on. But if you believe that's what went on, if you believe the election was stolen, there's two things. There's two ways to do this to avoid that situation. Overwhelm. Yeah, I was going to say, one is when you are in power and can do something about it, like, for example, if you're president of the United States, you need to be able to push that ball down the role to solve those problems and see them coming. You have to be able to do that. And I think DeSantis can fairly say, look, he had a chance to fix some of these problems and he didn't do it. Number two, the other way you do this, and DeSantis has some experience here, when you have a very close election that you squeak out like Donald Trump did in 2016, like Ron DeSantis did in 2018, the best path to not have to worry about any of these problems is to win your next election by 20 points.

Yes. Right. And DeSantis has an argument there to say, look, I, Trump was not able to. expand the voters that he brought in after 2016. His victory in 2016 was immensely impressive. But his, even though I think he did a lot of really good things as president, he was unable to expand that voting base. And I really thought that the choice, I thought the choice between the two would be enough. And it's clearly not enough. You know, that's, Biden's the weakest candidate I've seen since Jimmy Carter.

Hillary was really bad. Hillary was bad. She was bad. Yeah. But she wasn't weak. She was just in the wrong direction like Biden turned out to be. Yes. But you didn't think that.

All the people who voted for him was like, oh, he's going to just moderate. He's old Joe and that's Job being Joe. And that's what won. This time, if it's even close, that is saying something about the alternative. or about the country. We have fundamentally transformed into another country. Yeah. And I think, look, part of this, as you point out, people will or have woken up to Biden being worse than they.

Remember, they bought the Biden train at some level because he promised normalcy. He promised going back to normal things. We were in the middle of a pandemic. The world was really weird when that election happened. So you can explain, I think, some of that. And maybe it would be enough. I don't think, I think Trump could win the election if he's the nominee. It's just, it's going to be hard, but he can do it.

The other side is is that DeSantis could flop as a national candidate. He might be terrible in these situations. I don't think that's going to be the case, but he could be. He hasn't been tested at all at this level. So, I mean, it could go either way. It's too early to know what's going to happen. But I don't, I think today's the day this election starts. Today is it, with DeSantis getting in, this is when this primary actually begins.

And we've got, very interesting 18 months ahead of it. Very interesting. All right, back in just a second. When things are falling apart, let's be honest, a lot of them are. One of the best investments you can make for yourself and your family is food security. That way, if there are lines ever at a grocery store that are going around a block, you're not stuck outside waiting to get inside. This can so easily happen just with the breakdown of trucking, the breakdown of the system again. That seemed impossible. before. But you see how easily that could happen. We go to war with Russia. We go to war with China. Oh my gosh. The world changes overnight. Do you have emergency food? My Patriot supply is offering three months emergency food right now. Breakfast, lunch, dinner,

snacks, 2,000 calories a day. Great food. You can get this kit to keep your family fed for three months right now. You can order three months food supply and get a $200 kit for everything else that you need. Okay. Easy to order. It comes unmarked and shipping is free. Preparewithglen.com.

He has just done a year of search, and he just got baptized. He's a Christian now. And he's on the podcast tomorrow.

And we talk about AI. He really surprised me on AI. He's a tech guy. He knows this kind of stuff. we talk about that. We talk about what's going on with the FBI and the CIA. And we also talk about his journey. And it is fascinating to hear.

That'll come out tomorrow for Blaze viewers and listeners. And don't forget tonight, Wednesday night special, what this government is currently doing to destroy the American way of life for the average person, the American dream, gone. That's tonight at 9. And right before Stu does America in the nicest of ways. Debbie did Dallas. He does America.

He's a whore. But that's it. That's our tagline. Yeah, it's 8 o'clock. And then my special is on at 9. It's a one-to-punch on Blaze TV tonight. What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program.

A couple of weeks ago, a couple of weeks ago, Weiss Ratings did a study, they did a test of banks, and they said, yeah, I mean, you know, looks like a lot of banks could fail. And, uh, and Stu and I talked about it and were like, hey, that's, that's not good. That's not good news. I, that's not what I'm hearing from the secretary. of the Treasury or the Fed. Yeah, what a surprise.

So before I really talked about it, I really wanted to hear it from the horse's mouth to make sure we got it. So we have Dallas Brown. He is a publisher at Weiss Ratings, and he can

tell us what they found about the base. It's not going to necessarily improve your mood, but it's good to know. We have that coming up in 60 seconds. Also, there's a ruling from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on the pistol brace guns. And it's nuanced. You really need to hear it.

Okay, your kids go to public school. Looked like they've managed to survive. Right? No. Yeah. Somebody has asked me this morning, they said, Glenn, what are you going to do with the college? And I said, luckily, my son wants to take a year off before he goes to college. and I'm going to spend that year trying to convince him not to go to college.

I think it is just, I mean, why are we spending all this money? Have our kids brainwashed and turned into something that they're not. Anyway, this summer, if you have kids in school, this summer, when they come out, be ready, be the counterbalance to all the bad ideas, bad history, and bad morals are being exposed to throughout the school year. Get them started on the Tuttle Twins books. The Tuttle Twins teach about the history of our nation, how it was founded, how it was meant to run. It's all based on classic, classic books, even all the way down to Adam Smith. They teach the economics of a free market and why it's better than other systems.

It might be the worst, but it's the best of all the rest of them. It's important to raise your kids up to love, respect, and want to defend our system of government. It is Tuttle Twinsbeck.com. Go there now. You'll get 35% off a bundle of 13 books for the summer with your kids or grandkids. 35% off 13 books, Tuttle Twinsbeck.com. Tuttle Twinsbeck.com. All right, Dallas Brown.

Welcome to the program, sir. How are you? Hey, Glenn. How are you doing? I'm good. I'm good. So I don't know if you know much about me. But I tend to think that.

that we are running a shell game with our banks and our Federal Reserve and our central banks and our treasury. And I think we've done such damage to our banks. And they are just printing money to keep everything looking like it's okay. I saw your, so that's my point of view. So you know where I'm coming from and I want you to correct me, you know, and enlighten me if you have anything better to say. I have not heard of Weiss ratings before, but I know you guys have been around for about 50 years. And in the last bank crash, I think you guys were the ones leading the way saying, Trouble.

Isn't that correct? Yeah. So we did. So I can get to both your points really quick. But let me just jump in and tell you who Weiss is and what we've been doing. So this analysis we did isn't something that we just did. one time. We rate banks and many assets stocks, insurance companies, bonds, and crypto daily. And so we see the movement that happens based on liquidity of banks, capitalization, stability.

And so we're very vigilant. Our analysts were very vigilant about this. And so why has been doing this, they started rating banks in 1971. Okay. And we, so Martin Weiss is the founder, and his father, actually back in 1930, his name is Irving Weiss. He predicted the failure of the bank of the United States. And so that's where the catalyst of this came. And so in 1971, he got together with his son and they started rating banks for safety for consumers. And so we rate every bank.

and so it's not just bank it's also credit unions and so in 2008 you know we we named in advance warning all the major banks that fell during that financial crisis I mean you you were the I think the only guys that said Bear Stearns and Lehman brothers are going

yep yep so it was it was like weeks before Bear Stearns and it was like a hundred and some odd days before Lehman brothers that we announced it they're they're gone like it's an end game with them but since 2008 there's been 539 bank failures and we have given advance warning on 535 those and some of those other ones were fraud yeah yeah and so

this isn't this isn't something that we take lightly here it's important it's important for consumers but I we we kind of agree with you it's it's not the banks fall 100% it is it is the government it is the government forcing them to push this money out, not letting the free market play a key role in regulating the banks. And they just keep stepping in to protect banks, protect them from the market. And it's created this monster that's going to be tough to fix or save. Right. And it's only really benefiting, at least at this point, the big banks.

Everything keeps getting folded in to these banks that we said were too big to fail, and so we've got to make them smaller. back in 2008, they're just getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. I mean, it feels like we're going to end up with, well, just a Bank of America. Well, hopefully that doesn't happen because that's not good for anybody in our country at all. Right. I was talking with a president of a regional bank not too long ago, and he was talking about a nationalized bank. And I'm just like, why are you even talking about this?

This is not something that we want to be discussing. Correct. We need the privatization. Yeah. So go ahead. This is what we found. Yeah, this is what we found. So basically what's happening is because of how quickly they raised interest rates, right?

There's a lot of banks that are holding bonds. And when someone comes and does a bank run or we have a lot of people taking out deposits, especially ones that have high uninsured amount. So that's people that have over 250, the banks start having a crisis. And if they don't have the liquidity or they don't have the cash to cover those like a typical bank run,

they have to sell their bonds. And on their balance seat, the bonds are marked or held to maturity. And so they have them marked as if they were going to sell them in 10 years, in 20 years, and 30 years. But then they have to take them now and they take a loss, right?

And so after that, if their money that they're taking exceeds the capital, it's a game over for the bank, and then somebody has to step in and save them. And we only have two options. Either we bail out regional banks, if this starts happening, or we sell them to the bigger banks and we lessen the free market. Okay. So this is what I read, what, a week or two ago, 1210 institutions. that's banks and and what do you call them

credit unions. That's 12.8% of our banking system got a red warning flag signaling risk of imminent failure. 3,000 received a yellow warning flag indicating risk of failure in a financial crisis or recession

and 45% of all banks, 40% of all banks and credit unions were deemed vulnerable. Well, if the 12.8 go down, then you have a financial crisis or recession, and that just triggers the other 3,000, does it not? Thanks are teetering, right? They're getting loans from other banks

or they're selling their assets to be able to cover if any type of run happens. So what we're saying is there are 12% or 12% or 1,20010 institutions are at a point where if anybody decided to start pulling money out or we had some sort of small panic, they're not surviving. It's not happening. And that is a lot to do with the fact that they don't have the liquidity based on the short term and long-term demands on that bank.

And so when we rate banks, we have five different ratings. And there's 154 different data points we look at within that. rating and then we compare them to the stability across all of our data on those banks. And so we compare 6,000 data points to figure out what is the stability of this bank. And we rate every bank A through E. Okay. And so A and B are more stable. C is in a vulnerable.

That's the yellow flag, right? And then D and E are the red flag. But there's quite a bit, even in that yellow flag, that if we hit a reset, or we get come into a new financial crisis, they do not have the liquidity or the cash on hand to be able to survive. So what does that mean to the average person? I've been telling people, don't, don't pull your money out of a bank unless you know, unless I think you're foolish for putting more than $250,000 in a bank, a bank account,

especially if you're an individual, maybe businesses I understand. but you put, you're going to get your money back. Now, how much your money is worth in the end is another story, but don't pull your money out because you're going to get that money if it fails, right? Yeah, we don't, first of all, we don't want to cause panic, right? Yes. That's why the FDIC, who understood that a lot of the problems with these recent bank failures were they had a lot of uninsured accounts, right?

I mean, they were over to $250,000. Correct. But the first thing is, don't hedge your bets. Don't think that the FDIC has the capital to cover everybody because they don't, right? When they came out and said, we're going to cover all accounts and over the $250,000. But they're just playing lip service. That's exactly what they're doing. Well, I think they'll print the money.

That's why I say, I wonder how much it will be worth in the end, but they'll just print it. So it's not the FDIC that will bail them out. It will be the U.S. Treasury. Correct. Right? Yes. That will bail them out. Yeah.

Yeah. And so, and so the first thing I would do is never, like you said, never have over $250,000. Okay. And spread them out because each account is actually insured. And so you can have one in one and one and the other and have a total of $500,000. In the same bank? But, yeah. Okay.

As long as they're in separate accounts, it's the accounts themselves that are insured. Okay. So when you say signaling a risk of imminent failure, that means if something happens or, I mean, imminent failure usually is like DefCon 1, the war has started. It's coming in. So everybody, anybody that is on listening right now can go to Weissratings.com and see what their bank is rated. They don't have to do anything. There's a search at the top. You get all the information. you don't have to pay for it. We do this just because we care about the everyday person. And so you can go right now and see where your bank's rated.

If your bank is rated red, there's a possibility, and I'm not going to say it's happening, but if it's rated a deer and there's a possibility that even without a crisis, they could go under. So what do you do if you're in one of those banks? Because I don't want people to panic and freak out, but I want them to be safe. So what do you do if you're in one of those banks? So right now, it's not an issue. We do not have an issue. And so we're not panicking.

Nobody needs to panic. Nobody needs to go take their money out. They need to be careful, right? They need to see where their money is, see why, because you can see right there why the institution is rated that. And if it's a profit problem, if it is a stability issue, a lot of these are, a lot of these are really. really small banks, right?

And so what they need to do is they're going to be covered. Everything is covered. Credit unions are covered in the NCUA. Banks are covered under the FDIC. And if you're in one of these small banks, you're just going to be pushed into, like we saw with these other bank failures to happen, into a larger bank that buys your assets. Right.

Or it's taken over by until they can, they can tell they can off and off the account. And so it's going to be seamless for them. But, you know, it's, we have them there just so when people are looking to get into banks or looking to not have to deal with this, they know. Let me take a break. I want to ask you about Bitcoin. I want to ask you about insurance. But I also want to ask you about the big banks or any of the big banks in trouble.

We'll go there in just 60 seconds, standby. Someday, we'll all have electric cars. And we won't be able to drive it. anywhere because we won't have any of the power plants producing any of the electricity. But the idea of going someplace, you'll be able to sit in your garage and pretend you're going someplace. It's great. Anyway, Car Shield has affordable protection plans if you'd like to keep your car running. Yeah, it's going to have breakdowns. That old combustion engine. Yeah, it's going to have breakdowns. But if it's not a computer chip,

It may not break the bank. But those things that are computer chips, the big, big repairs, they could just sink the whole family. I have medical insurance because I know if somebody in my household has cancer, it could destroy the whole family. So let's have catastrophic health insurance. That's what this is for cars from Car Shield. If something big goes, they cover more parts than ever before. They have different plans that will fit any budget, but you need your car. Car shield, dedicating to protecting what you have.

Get coverage like I have on my old beater trucks at the farm. It is Car Shield 800-227-60-100, 800-200, 200-227-60-100, save 20 percent. Lock in your price, it'll never go up. 800-227-6100 carsheel.com slash beck. 10 seconds, station ID. Okay, any of the big banks in trouble? So I can't give you specifics right now on individual banks. I love to do it.

I have the overall information, but normally, normally I'm going to say this, a lot of the big banks are highly rated for us. Okay. Which means they're a B or they're an A. Like, I'm looking at J.P. Mortgage right now. They're a B plus. They have decent liquidity. They're a major bank.

And so they seem safe. But the issue here is it's not if they're a trouble or not. It's a catalyst system. Like when we saw in 2008, it's a catalyst. Like people end up holding bags for other people on bad debt. Yes. We have some interesting things happening here shortly. like the commercial lending industry is going to go through a little bump in the road.

Yeah, I don't think it's a little bump in the road. Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of big commercial debt, especially in these giant cities. Who's going to, who's going to fund these things? And then what kind of interest rate is it going to be? I mean, I just, how are you going to renew all of this commercial debt? Yeah, there's a lot of, there's a lot of issues with terms coming. do. There's a lot of issues with cap rates just being annihilated. And so we're going to see

big discounts. We're going to see big discounts on commercial properties. And the thing is, I was, I was listening to a pun on the other day, not to quote somebody else I'm listening to, but they were saying that they, they foresee, because there's so much cash out there and people are being hesitant about getting any of these commercial deals that they might not even get to foreclosure. They're just going to be bought on discount to other investors because they haven't been wanting to jump in in the last year because of the crazy interest rate. Right. Wow. Yeah.

And so I don't know. I can't forecast. I'm not a commercial. Yeah. Right. I'm not. Yeah, just a rating service. So tell me, do you rate Bitcoin?

I've been concerned about Bitcoin because of, with everything that's going on with the Federal Reserve and the government. How do you rate Bitcoin? So we have Bitcoin rated right now as an A-minus. And so you've got to understand is we individually rate each asset. So because Bitcoin is an A-minus does not mean that it's better than Apple as an investment, right? Right. So we rate things within their own industry. And so we rate all cryptocurrencies around cryptocurrencies.

We rate all banks around just banks. And so we have individual algorithms for each. one. So insurance is another one. We've been dealing with the mess in Florida, which you probably know about with the insurance. And we downgraded the backstop insurance company for the state of Florida because it's citizens because it's a mess over there. They're losing money. And, you know, if another big hurricane season just is damaging to the current state. And right now, we've been kind of working with the ledge a little bit to try to help them out to fix this issue, but it's a large issue. We're based in Florida. We care about that.

Dallas, I thank you very much for coming on and being a voice of reason and also of warning and not causing any panic from anybody, but just sharing the information. I appreciate it, Dallas. Thank you. Yeah, no problem. All right. WeissRatings.com is where you can go, and you can see the ratings of your insurance company, your banks, et cetera, et cetera, how stable are they? Do not panic. Do not pull your money out of banks. I mean, if you have more than $250,000 in an account, split it up.

But don't pull your money out of the bank. It will be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Weiss W-E-I-S-Ratings with an S.com. All right, back in a minute, you sick freak. Glenn back program.

And the judge, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, just put a preliminary injunction on it. So if you live in Texas, let's see. I think Mississippi and Louisiana, you're okay. You're all right. Rest the country, screwed. But that's because this is only a ruling for the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. But hopefully it's been done nationally someplace else.

Thank you, Target. No, it is. That is, look. Tuck, oh. We bought this, by the way, for the museum. We bought a bunch of these. Not the ones he wore. Okay, so there he is.

Tuck-friendly. Oh my gosh. He is a hideous. Not a guy I want to see in a bathing suit. I don't really want to see any guy in women's bathing suits, quite honestly. This is not. You guys see this? This is tough friendly.

This is horrific. Anyway, so they're pulling, they're leaving that stuff in. That's going to give me nightmares that video. They're leaving all that stuff in. In some southern states, they've decided to move it to the back instead of right in everybody's face. But you are making a difference. Because they did this yesterday,

their stock dropped 3%. And there's a possibility that if people stop shopping at Target, that you can make a real difference. If you do Budweiser, if it happens to catch on like Budweiser and people are like, yeah, I'm just not going there anymore.

Yeah. And again, the Bud Lightweiser thing, there's an update on that story today as well. What? We had seen sales of Bud Light drop, and it had dropped down to, I think, 24% was the last update I saw. Apparently since then, it had dropped to 27.7%. So sales are down 27.7% before the Dillamolvaney thing. However, that is updated as of the week of May 13th.

It has now dropped to 28.4%. Wow. And the quote that headlines the NBC News article is, quote, nobody imagined it would go on this long. This is a huge point. You hit these companies for a week. They shrug it off. You keep this going. And now it's just turning into a thing where people don't want to buy it.

They don't want to talk about it. They don't want to get in the argument. That is, that's big. This will make a difference if when somebody walks in with a bag from Target and they walk in to your house or whatever, and everybody in the house is like, you went to Target? Right. That's what will. That's what we'll change things. And it's going to be the women that really change this.

Women. You mean the women that can wear the tuck-friendly bathings? Yes. Okay. Those types of women. I mean, it's just degrading to you. But this is, you know, most shoppers, I would assume, at Target, are women. I know I went with my wife on Friday, and we saw it.

And I was like, not again. So what, like, for example, let's say Target moves it back. to the back of the store. Okay. No longer. Because it was, you walk in and it's just rainbows everywhere. And it still will be in most big cities, I'm sure. Right. So if they move it back, is that enough? Is that something that you're... No. I'm sorry, tuck friendly bathing suits? No. Just don't sell the tuck friendly bathing suits. No, I mean, it's just enough is enough. Enough is enough. What happened to the commitment?

You know, Glenn, I look back to the days. I want people to commit. You know, what happened to the days where you just, went through with it and you got the thing chopped off. Where are those days? What are we talking about tucking? Where are the people who are committing? Right. Where are the people saying, I'm going to be a woman and I'm going to get the thing chopped off? Where have

they gone? I want the good old days of transgenderism to return. The days where we can unite on snipping things off and reattaching them. That's the kind of America we all demand. Just check out the website.

Lorrainebobbit.com. That's a solid old school reference. Okay. So Rick Scott yesterday, you know the NWACP, I issued a travel advisory for the state of Florida. Yes. The NACP travel advisory comes in direct response to Governor DeSantis' aggressive attempts

to erase black history and restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in Florida schools. You know who's erased black history? the progressives. How do I know? Check out the library in our museum. All of this black history was available until the progressive movement. Anyway, they go on. Florida is openly hostile towards African Americans, people of color, and LGBTQ plus individuals. Before traveling to Florida, please understand the state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of and

the challenges faced by African Americans and other communities of color. You want to talk about misinformation? If that, how is that, if they put that on check on NAACP, is that on Twitter, their Florida advisory? Because that is misinformation. Now, Rick Scott, the senator from Florida, he issued his own travel advisory for Florida. Today, Senator Rick Scott issues a formal travel advisory for all socialists visiting the state of Florida. The travel advisory comes in direct response to the Biden administration's attempts to erase capitalism and the system that has brought prosperity to Florida and the entire United States.

Florida is openly hostile towards socialists and communists and those who enable them. Before traveling to Florida, please understand that the state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of and the challenges faced by socialist and others who work in the Biden administration. Let me be clear, says the formal travel notice. Any attempts to spread the oppression and poverty that socialism always brings will be rebuffed by the people of Florida. Travelers should be aware that attempts to spread socialism in North Florida will. fail and be met with laughter and mockery. However, in much of central and south Florida, the situation is far more dangerous for socialist, as they may encounter people from Cuba, Venezuela, and other parts of Central and South America, and the Caribbean who have a direct knowledge

and experience with the horrors of socialism. That's fantastic. That is fantastic. Love that. What are you looking at? Are you looking at the tuck bayings? They're not available in the front of the stores. I need to know where to buy them. No, I was looking for this NACP thing. It does seem to be on Twitter.

So I don't know if they still are flag it. I don't know. That's misinformation. That is misinformation. That's disinformation. That's not misinformation. That's disinformation. That's disinformation or malinformation.

Well, I think it's given it. They know it's false. Isn't this also like disinformation from their perspective? Let me read you this statement. Under the leadership of Governor DeSantis, the state of Florida has become hostile to black Americans. It's not true. And is it, of course not. And in direct conflict with the democratic ideals that our union was founded upon,

well, aren't these the same people that are constantly telling us that our union was founded upon slavery? If that's what our union was founded upon, it's very consistent with those values. We pick one. just pick some sort of narrative to take to it. All right, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust. You know how you were thought.

But isn't the whole point of progress to make things more human? That's why, at TD, when we design a product, whether it's an app for making trading easier or monitoring your account for fraud, we ask one simple question. How does this help people?

That's how we're making banking, more simple, more seamless, and more intuitive. but most importantly that's how TD is making banking more human. This is amazing. I think Congressman McCarthy is out playing the

White House on this. I need to call Mark Levin and say you might have been really right on McCarthy. He was big for McCarthy. I thought the guy is just another rhino. At least in this, he's playing this really well.

I think he has the White House on the road. Yeah, I think the White House just thought, well, the media will spin this for us and blame Republicans no matter what. Well, you know, Republicans have passed a bill. And, you know, a poll came out yesterday that 60% of the American people, not just Republicans, but 60% of all of America, said we should not raise the debt ceiling without cutting some spending. Good. So, I mean, they, and I think the number for what the Democrats want, which is just raise it without doing anything, I think it was 12%. Where was raise it with taxes? I don't, I think, I think that was on there and it was, it was in between the two numbers.

Really? Yeah, it was, it was. Wow. But I mean, at least there's some rationale to that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't agree with it. There is. There is. But they keep saying, you know, we're not going to raise taxes.

We will not raise taxes as if the Biden administration is offering that, which I bet they are. Because then it will be blamed on the Republicans for raising your taxes, even though the president has said he's never going to raise taxes for anybody, even though that's a blatant lie. It's been proven to be a lie multiple times. But I mean, I think McCarthy is, I think he's, I think he's kicking their butt. Yeah, so far he is. He's playing this well. And he has a very limited window here. The one thing that's going to be interesting is they're not going to get everything they asked for in that bill. Most likely we're going to have some sort of compromise position. The question is, do you lose some of the more conservative Republicans? with a compromise. And if you do, then you need Democrats to come on board.

And this bill could get very messy very quickly. Like, it might get terrible. I mean, it was, you know, I will say this. I agree with you. McCarthy's outplayed him, I think, significantly here in an impressive fashion. But I wouldn't say the bill that they proposed is anything miraculous. The best thing in it is the Raines Act. And if that goes, just if that goes through, honestly, it'll be a big enough win for me.

That's huge. Even if you cut no dollars in spending, I'd be happy with that. Yeah, I would too. Just give us the Raines Act. I would be thrilled with that. That would be a massive long-term structural change. Because you could take on the spending like crazy and all of the things that the government is doing. Or at the very least, you'd have an elected official to blame for the spending. Right now, you have these people who are unelected just passing this stuff with rules that are costing our economy in major ways. This would be a big pushback against that.

if that stays in there, I'd be happy, honestly, without the spending cuts. Look at how CNN, we're watching all four networks, CNN is the only ones with the Dow Jones Industrial average right next to McCarthy's face. Right. Implying that the market being down 257 points is because of scare of default. We are not going to default. Unless they intentionally do it. Unless they intention.

And it would take the secretary, the only ones that could do it would be the second. would be the Secretary of the Treasury and Joe Biden. That's it. Because you could prioritize tons of other things below our debt being paid. It would be a choice. And think how bad this is for America to even say that we would default. You're telling the rest of the world, we're not good for our money that you lent us. That's insane.

Insane. Who would do that? and then go to the bank and go, I'd like more, please. The Glenn Back Program.
