It is a very big week for the Supreme Court. There are some things that are coming down that you need to know and be prepared. It's much more than Roe versus Wade. It is also the possibility of stopping the Biden administration with all this environmental nonsense that is crippling our country. Mike Lee joins us to explain what happened yesterday with the Supreme Court and what is coming next. Stand by. We begin in 60 seconds. All right. So let me tell you about the Tuttle Twins. If you pulled your kids out of public school today and began homeschooling them,

what would you do with subjects that you didn't know very well? Well, if you're smart, you'd give them books on the subject, and you'd probably want those books to come from people who didn't, you know, have the goal in mind of indoctrinating your kids into some leftist ideology. But you instead wanting them to maybe perhaps, I don't know, know, learn something solid. Here's a book from the Tuttle Twins that I want you to have. I've talked to them.

They're going to give it to you for free while supplies last. All you do is pay for shipping. It's called The Tuddle Twins and their amazing show business. It's a great way to illustrate to your kids or grandkids some of the fundamentals about the American way. It gives them opportunities to solve problems and encourages them to start their own business. You and your kids need to read this book, The Tuddle Twins, and their spectacular show business. You'll get it for free. Just pay for shipping at tutel twinsbeck.com. That's

Tuttle twinsbeck.com. All right. Let me go to Mike Lee, the author of Saving Nine, a brand new book that's been out for, I don't know, about a month or so, a great book on understanding why and what the consequences are of Joe Biden packing the courts. Senator, how are you, sir? good to be with you. I'm not hearing anything in return. Is that a problem? It is kind of a problem. I think Senator Lee can hear me.

Senator, are you there? Yes. Both of you. Hear you loud and clear. I can't hear you okay. Yeah, we're hearing you okay. The music went out, by the way, halfway through. Glenn is getting some, having some audio issues at his location, Senator.

But I know he wanted to talk to you about the Supreme Court. We have a bunch of big decisions that are going to come down in the next couple of weeks. Obviously, the Dobbs case with abortion has been kind of the marquee one that everyone's been talking about. But can you kind of walk us through maybe a little bit on that one and what else we expect over the next couple of weeks? Sure. So with the Dobbs opinion itself, we're dealing with the question of abortion and we're dealing with whether or not it is a matter of federal constitutional law that the states may not regulate or restrict abortions in most circumstances. This has been the case, more or less since 1973. The Supreme Court has stepped in and said this is a matter for federal judges to decide because federal judges, seven out of nine Supreme Court justices sitting in 1973 decided that it was.

The Supreme Court, based on the opinion, the draft majority opinion that was leaked from Justice Alito, it appears that the court is poised to undo the Dobbs ruling and undo this 49-year aberration from the constitutional norm in which the Supreme Court has made this a question for Supreme Court justices rather than lawmakers. So that's a big one. There are still some other big cases left to be decided, including the New York Rifle and Pistol Association case. In that case, the court is looking at some Second Amendment issues, specifically whether it's constitutional for the state of New York to decide. that in order to have a gun, people have to convince the state that they have an unusual right,

an exceptional or extraordinary need to possess a gun and wield it outside their home. You see, the state of New York has in some ways relegated the use of the Second Amendment right to an individual's own home, and the plaintiffs in that case are challenging them. So those could both be big blockbuster cases, and I suspect they might come right down to the wire because typically the way it works at the Supreme Court is that the cases that are most hotly disputed are reserved to the end, partly because the way the justices draft opinions and negotiate their release. So, Mike, hello and welcome to the program.

Thanks for joining us today. There is also a fight over, no, there's also a fight over the EPA's power to redistrict greenhouse gases. And we've got a few things. Let me just play this for you. Here's Gina McCarthy from the Biden White House. She's a climate advisor. Listen to what she said during an interview yesterday.

And so the challenge is now that we're moving from denial to actually just trying to disengage the public from understanding the values of solar energy, the values of wind energy, the benefits of clean energy. We have to get tighter. We have to get better at communicating. And frankly, the tech companies have to stop allowing specific individuals over and over again to spread disinformation. That's what the fossil fuel companies pay for. That's what folks who make money out of fossil fuels and don't make money and don't care about saving consumers' costs. That's what they do.

I can't believe this is coming from the. administration, but also the Justice Department, is taking a series of actions to secure environmental justice for all Americans. They now have an office of environmental justice. Mike, this is everywhere, and it's all being done just by the stroke of a pen in the administration. Tell me about this next case, and will it stop things like this? All right. So it's not going to stop. the inclination of the left and of people on the left who hold high office in the executive branch from wishing that they could silence anyone who disagrees with them. But I think we can get to the heart of the issue.

I think there is some potential that one or more of these cases pending before the Supreme Court involving the EPA's vast sweeping authority could help rein in their power. Part of what breeds this kind of attitude, Glenn, is that over time, in part because of the way we've accumulated power in the federal government, we have allowed Congress to essentially delegate lawmaking power over to unelected unaccountable bureaucrats at agencies like the EPA. And once that happens, they start behaving as if judge, jury, and executioner, as if they have the power to make and interpret and enforce the laws within their own little featoms. which they actually kind of do. And so these issues present constitutional questions, and those constitutional questions have reached a boiling point, and that's why I'm guardedly optimistic.

The court might rein in some of their power here. Guardedly optimistic. Yeah, look, these things move in glacial case. It feels like we could, right, but it feels like this could be an incredible summer for people who believe in the Constitution. And that's a brilliant thing. That's a wonderful thing.

You see, because it's one of the things that the founding fathers agreed upon is that the lawmaking power is not delegable. You can't elect someone to be a lawmaker and then have that person delegate the task over to someone else. Charles de Montesquieu, one of the most influential political philosophers on the founding generation, and explained that that is a non-delegable duty. We've gradually drifted away from that. And this is actually something I talk about a little bit in my book, Saving Nine, that once FDR threatened to pack the court, then the court changed its approach to interpreting the Constitution.

That opened the floodgates. And all of a sudden, the twin structural protections of the Constitution, federalism and separation of powers meant less and less. That's how we get these almighty czars. within these executive branch agencies who just think they have the power to do anything and everything, which they kind of do. And the Supreme Court has the potential to rein that in. I hope and pray that they do this year. I want to take a quick break, Mike, and then I want to come back and ask you for the cases that are now being announced tomorrow and then again on Monday and Wednesday of next week,

the most consequential cases, the ones that can change America for the better or for the worst, depending on how they are decided. We'll talk to Mike Lee about that coming up in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's real estate agents, I trust. So if you put your house up for the market today, depending on where you live, chances are pretty good that you could not only sell it in a heartbeat, but you'd get a really good price. for it. Congratulations, something to celebrate. However, have you seen what's happening in Canada? Canada, the central bank of Canada is moving interest rates up, and they are now saying 18% of those who own homes in Canada, 18 can no longer afford the homes that they have. And 25% say if the

interest rate goes higher, they won't be able to keep their home. They'll have to sell it. You can't have 25% of the market collapse. But good news. BlackRock will be there just to take that off of your hands. And even more good news. By 2030, you'll owe nothing and you'll be happy. Here's a thing. You need somebody who is aggressive, who really knows the market for the market that could be bad coming our way or the market that is still good in most cases. Real estate agents.i trust.com.

So, Mike, we have the Coach Kennedy's Supreme Court case. We have the gun case. the abortion case, the environmental case, what else is out there that we should be looking for that could be extraordinarily good or bad? Yeah, so I think you've covered the big ones that remain. You've got the administrative law cases, some involving the EPA, others involving the Securities and Exchange Commission,

both dealing with different questions about the delegation of lawmaking power and the extent to which these major legal questions, major policy questions can be decided by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats. So that's one category. Is the SEC question the same, does that fall under the same umbrella as the one we just talked about with environmental EPA? Yeah.

It's a different dispute, but it potentially raises some similar questions on administrative of law and on the appropriateness of major legal questions being decided by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats rather than by Congress itself. It at least presents the potential opportunity for the court to address those issues. And so you've got those two, you've got the abortion case, Dobbs. You've got the gun case, New York Rifle and Pistol Association, which I continue to think is a very important one because remember the Supreme Court about, you know, 15 years ago, finally recognized the Second Amendment as providing an individual right. But there are some parts of the country, including the state of New York, that have tried to relegate that in to nothingness by saying, okay, what that means is you can have a gun on your own property. but it can't mean much more than that because you're going to have to get a permit if you want to actually take it outside of your home.

And so that could be a very significant moment. I've got a very good feeling that the Supreme Court there is not going to say it's okay for a state to relegate the Second Amendment into nothingness by telling you that you've got to possess that gun only on your own home. So what does that mean for the red laws that have just been or look like they're, they're going to become law? The red flag laws. Yeah, red flag laws raise a different set of questions. Red flag laws have the potential to eliminate someone's due process rights. Remember, the Second Amendment provides a substantive constitutional right to having a firearm.

In the case of a red flag law, you have the ability of the state to take away. someone's gun right based on accusations that they think someone might be unstable. And in some cases, they allow for your gun rights or your guns themselves to be taken away before you've had your day in court, before you've had any opportunity to present evidence, any opportunity to cross-examine witnesses hostile to you, or otherwise to address the accusations against you. And so that's as much of a due process issue as it is a Second Amendment issue. And those questions aren't squarely presented in the New York rifle case. Okay.

The red flag laws scare the dickens out of me. Just because if you just look at divorces, how many people own guns, how many guys own guns, the wife, you know, just kind of tolerates it. She's not anti-gun or whatever, but she's anti her husband. She goes to court and says, you know, he's threatened me before or he's done this. She can so easily say prior to, and it could, the world's could be reversed, but so could easily say, look, you, uh, drop, you know, drop this or give me what I want or whatever. Otherwise, I'm going to tell him, uh, red flag and you'll lose all your guns.

And that will happen. things like that in many different ways will happen. Yes, they will happen and they do happen. This is the way these sorts of things work. And, you know, we don't take away other fundamental rights that we acknowledge are fundamental based on whether we think someone needs it, based on whether we think the person is deserving, at least not without due process. You wouldn't see that in other areas.

You shouldn't see that here before you deprive someone of life, liberty, or property. You've got to give them due process. Now, there will be those who will say, well, they are given due process because they can have a hearing under these red flags. Under these red flag laws. Well, under some of them, one could argue all of them in effect right now. They do have a hearing, but very often it's after the deprivation has occurred, after it's already been stripped from them. One thing about due process, Glenn, is that it's got to occur before you take away someone's right. Because the Fifth Amendment says that you can't deprive someone of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.

That protects you against federal action, federal deprivation of due process. You've got a corresponding protection against the states in the 14th Amendment. And so due process means review within court in a meaningful time when it matters. So, Mike, help me out on Joe Kennedy's case. How much of a difference will this make in our schools and in the public square? Here's a guy who was fired because he was spraying on the field. He wasn't trying to indoctrinate any of the kids or whatever. I mean, he wasn't doing anything that the transgender teachers are trying to do to our kids. How much of a, how much of an impact will this? make. What are the ramifications? Okay, so and they're big for anyone who wants to exercise

is or her First Amendment right to pray. To pray. Not in a coercive way, not to make anyone feel left up, but because it's what they want to do. He wasn't discriminating

against any player who didn't want to join in. This is something important. And, you know, a team very often feels a lot of anxiety before a game, a lot of gratitude or sorrow after a game. It's not unreasonable for that person to want to pray and for members of the team to want to pray. So this shows a certain intolerance on the part of the left and intolerance toward those who have religious beliefs. It's not something that we can tolerate. intolerance is one thing that we as Americans don't tolerate very well and we shouldn't.

And when it comes to intolerance of religious belief, this is something so deeply rooted in our nation's history and tradition and culture that it would be a huge mistake to try to get rid of it. I have one minute left. So I'm going to hold you over on the break if you can hang because I've got an important question on what's been going on. Mike, what do you expect coming out tomorrow? Do you have any idea? Yet, no idea. There's almost no way to predict on which day a particular case will be decided. I do suspect that the most contentious case of the term, that is the Dobbs case dealing with abortion, that one probably comes out at the very end.

I'm guessing that comes out the last week of June. Just so they can get out of town quickly, I'm guessing. and avoid all the warfare that could be on the streets. Mike, great to talk to you. Hang on just a second. One more thing with Senator Mike Lee on SCOTUS and all of the news of the day. Back in a second.

This is the Glenn Beck program. It's Tuesday. We have Mike Lee with us, the senator from the state of Utah, the constitutionalist, in the senator. And you can tell, by the way, they're pulling out all the knives in his reelection campaign. You can tell by how much money they are spending on really all sides. to make sure he doesn't go back, but I don't think there's a problem with Mike Lee.

Going back, I have a win, but you never know. So please go out and vote, and if you want to join his campaign. Mike, what's your campaign? Is it Mike for Senator or Mike for Senator? It's Leeforsenate.com. That's leeforsonnet.com. Okay.

All right. Not available in all states. So first of all, let me ask you, Mike, on the bipartisan agreement that has happened on gun control. This seems, you know, it seems like common sense some of it, but I subscribe to the slippery slope thing. And especially with this administration, because they are using all levers. of the administration, and they have no intention of letting the American people have guns. So tell me where we are on this. Well, look, we don't have legislative text yet.

We've had some general principles outlined, and the general principles have been outlined differently, depending on which member of the coalition you're talking to. They've been outlined in terms by some of the Republican members of the coalition that make it sound like it. it does very little and been outlined by some of the Democrats in terms that make it sound very different than that. So I'm waiting to see legislative text. It is imperative when you're passing law or being asked to support the passage of law that you see the actual legal text before you decide what you're going to do on it. It's concerning to me that you've got people jumping onto this thing, even members of the coalition jumping onto it, who are signing onto the agreement and principle and therefore to what they imagined to be the eventual bill

without ever having seen it. That's a big problem. And they're saying that they're not going to force any states, but they're tying money to this, correct? For states? Yes. And that is a concern that I have, even outside the gun context, it worries me when we start to tie, we give money to states, and we are trying to achieve a particular federal policy outcome. And we therefore tie the receipt of those state funds to the implementation of whatever Congress's preferred policy is.

And so we have yet to see how that one's going to work, how it's going to be phrased. That could be of concern independently. How is the January 6th hearing playing inside the Capitol? All the rage on the House side. It's all the rage among Democrats. They love talking about it. They love thinking about it. They love thinking about it.

And it's all they can get into their head. They literally can't get enough of this stuff. But, you know, the truth is, according to the polls that I've seen, very, very few Americans are focused on that. You know what they're concerned about? They're worried about three things. inflation and then inflation and then the next thing after that is inflation. They're terrified about what this is doing to them. You know, Glenn, the average family in my state in Utah shells out an additional $800.

This is up just from last week, $800 a month every month relative to what they were paying at the beginning of 2021 just for their basic monthly household expenses. They're not getting anything new for that. That's almost 10 ground a year, $9,600 a year that the average Utah family is paying for that. And you've got slightly different numbers all across the states. That's roughly the number in Utah. People are concerned about that. And so, look, this is the Democrats' effort.

Don't be deceived. This is what the Democrats are doing to try to distract. This is their shiny object that they're waving wildly while they try to get you to think about anything other than the inflation brought about by Joe Biden's reckless spending. Well, there's a couple of things. I want you to hear. Here is the new press secretary for the president yesterday on inflation. Listen to this. President Biden once bragged about the stock market. Cut said. Record after record, after record on my watch. How about now? Meaning the stock market. All the games from President Biden's time in office have been wiped out.

So as you know, we're watching, we're watching closely. We know families are concerned about inflation in the stock market. That is something that the president is really aware of. And so, look, we face global challenges. We've talked about this. We're not the only country dealing with what we're seeing at the moment as it relates to inflation. You know, Putin's price hike, inflation coming out of a once-in-a-generation global pandemic, make all of those things play a factor.

And, you know, but the thing, the way that we see this is that the American people are well positioned to face these challenges because of the economic historic gains that we have made under this president. Under this president in the 16 months. What games would do? I mean, they are having fever dreams. No idea. You tell me. Yeah. Incredible.

like me understand this, whether they're thinking no one's listening or they're thinking, well, if the White House press secretary said it, I mean, she works for the president of the United States so much she must be right. In my experience, Glenn, that's not what's happening. In my experience, that's not how people react to things like this. You can't tell someone, can't spit on someone and tell them it's just raining and expect them to believe it. Mike, let me play one more clip. This is from MSNBC. Now, I remember what the left was. was saying about, you know, the buildback better bill. Listen to what they're saying now.

This is MSNBC economist and former head of the Auto Task Force, Steve Ratner. Listen to this. I just wonder what would have happened if progressives had gotten their $6 trillion wish earlier this year. Yeah. In an ironic way, you almost have to thank Joe Manchin for blocking that because $6.5 trillion of spending in this economy would make these numbers look. small yeah look we had a we had a huge budget deficit we had an unbelievably aggressive

reaction by the fed to the pandemic you can kind of understand why they were trying but they just tried too hard and now we're all going to pay the consequences in a very very tough environment over the next year or two while this gets sorted out to the does the GOP mic have any clue I mean is there anybody there that is really saying we have got to hold the line on spending because look at the devastation that is coming our way? Yeah. For Senate Republicans, I would say every single one of us feel that way. Now, that of course isn't a question that's separate and distinct from a question of whether

we will hold to that once we get into the majority, which I believe is coming very soon. But yeah, every single Republican senator feels that way and feels that way very very. very strongly. By the way, that clip you just played, knowing that it comes from MSNBC, it's got to be a short time that the end of the case is upon us, right? I mean, more than anything else we're seeing. The fact that MSNBC

is acknowledging Emperor Biden has no clothes. Good heavens. That's amazing. I know. It is incredible. One last thing. The fear here is that you know, nobody, no Democrat has really come out and can

The White House hasn't come out and strongly condemned. The guy who was trying to shoot Kavanaugh. You've got the streets around the Supreme Court now blocked. What's coming, Mike? Okay, so what's coming is that they're still on their campaign, just as I predicted in my book Saving 9, as I explained in Saving 9, how this all fits in. They're trying to delegitimize, denigrate, and isolate the Supreme Court.

This is right out at the FDR Playbook. Remember, it's Franklin D. Roosevelt, who is the role model. He's the idol of Joe Biden. Joe Biden wants to become known as the modern living reincarnation of Franklin D. Roosevelt. So right out of the FDR playbook to do that to the court. And so because they don't like what they saw in just Salito's masterfully written opinion in the Dobbs case, they're trying to do that to the court to prepare to pack the court so that they can continue to use the court as their way of getting around those pesky provisions of the constitution they don't like and reinventing others that don't exist. What is the difference between what has been going on in the streets with our Supreme Court and terrorism?

Isn't terrorism, can it be defined as people who are trying to incite violence or I shouldn't say insight, people who are bringing violence and threatening lives with an intent to carry those things out and say? safety is the exchange for doing things their way? Yeah, that's basically it. There's usually also an element of ideology-driven desire and aspiration to influence opinion or force people to succumb. But yeah, that's it in a nutshell. And I think there's some of that going on here. And the fact that it also serves their purpose of allowing them to get

headlines, allowing them to bring about negative headlines on the Supreme Court from the mainstream news media outlets who dutifully repeat everything they say without question on these topics. Yeah, this works out great for them as they see it. The only problem is, as I explained in saving nine, all of these things ultimately and nor to the detriment of everyone in society. Whether you agree or disagree with what the court might do in Dobbs, this hurts everyone. We must have, Glenn, I can't emphasize this enough. The Supreme Court, not the most important branch, not the most powerful branch of government, but it is the linchpin of everything else.

It's the keystone of our system of government. If we don't have an independent federal judiciary headed by an independent Supreme Court, we lose our Constitution. Nothing else stands. Nothing else will protect our rights if we don't have that. and so that's why it's so imperative, and that's why I felt so strongly about this topic, I was so concerned about what they were going to do that I wrote Saving Nine. But, yeah, they are not condemning the attacker.

In fact, Joe Biden said, and he's never retracted this, he said through Jen Saki just a few weeks ago that he supports people showing up the Supreme Court Justice's homes to protest to try to influence them. That is a crime under 18 U.S.C. 1507. And so it's up to the rest of us to acknowledge the kind of lawless behavior that President Biden is promoting and to call it out so that this proceeds no further. Mike Lee, Senator from the state of Utah, you can get involved with his campaign at leeforsonet.com, Lee for Senate.com. Mike, thank you so much. God bless. Thank you, Glenn.

The world of business has gotten harder to exist in, especially if you have integrity. It's going to get worse before it gets better. Everywhere you look, companies are are coutowing to the woke and the woke left because they've been bullied into thinking there is only one way.

You know, I know the mayor of District of Columbia has spent a lot of tax money on. these flags to line the streets with stars with 51 stars on the flag and it's good for her good for her is it it's racist if you don't agree with her hmm yeah probably yeah fascinating um i know everyone

shockingly i don't know if you know this everything is racist and the the one piece of pushback i've seen on there's a part of this gun bill where they say uh basically you can check uh juvenile mental health records so if you you're in an asylum for six months when you're 17 that shows up on your background check when you're 18 and want to buy a gun. And the one piece of pushback I've seen is from people like AOC who are saying, well, it's going to be

racist if you look at juvenile records. Which is amazing. All these things are going to wind up in 10 or 15 years, these new gun laws when they wind up disproportionately hitting people in inner cities, they're going to wind up being all racist. So I look forward to the total transition

on all of these points. If you own a home or property, you also might be thinking, I hope Joe Biden doesn't run again.

There's some good news in San Francisco. They look like they're starting to wake up. I've got an amazing article kind of going over what it is like in

San Francisco, but don't think that it's just the lunatics in San Francisco that voted in prosecutors that are not prosecuting things. It's happening in some of the reddest areas in our country

and Republicans are becoming the same kind of Soros style prosecutors. I'll give you that case in 60 seconds.

how San Francisco became a special. a failed city. And it's pretty eye-opening. Not long ago, we met on a stoop by the Civic Center, it says, where her son used to hang out. She hadn't seen him in months, but she spoke with him periodically. She cried as she talked about his journey into drugs. She said he was a heroin addict.

He'd get sober after stints in jail, but it wouldn't last. I'd see him sometimes, and he didn't look that bad. And that's how it was for 10 years. But then, the dealers starting putting ferns, fentanyl in everything. And being on fentanyl, it changed him. He deteriorated. Before, he looked kind of healthy and smiling. Now he's got this stoop. He walks almost at a 40-degree angle like an old man. He's been stabbed twice. He's got an infection in his thumb. And she thought he might lose the hand. They need to stop ignoring the fact that there are people out here selling fentanyl

on the streets. When it was just heroin, I can't believe I'm saying just heroin, but when it was just heroin, fentanyl is different. We're normalizing people dying. Do you see what even the Atlantic is saying? When it was just heroin,

I can't believe I'm saying that. But isn't that the way we say almost everything now? She said she was out looking for her son one day in the tenderloin neighborhood when she came across someone else's son. He was naked in front of a safeway, and he was saying he was God, and he was eating a cardboard box.

Officers arrived after she called the police and said there was nothing they can do. He didn't want help. He wasn't hurting anyone. They said it's not illegal to be naked. They just left him there, naked, eating cardboard, on the street in front of Safeway. America, is this.

what you want your town to be like? Now, even in San Francisco, and the article makes a really good point, the article says, we thought we were doing the right thing. You know, we thought that we were just a loving city, yada, yada, and it didn't work out that way. Yes, none of this will work out that way.

History will show you that, look, how many times have we been saying on the air here and people mocked me for saying it when I said, this is not going to work out well economically. We are going to come. There's going to come a time. We're going to pay a heavy price. Even MSNBC said yesterday,

and this was Obama's guy. MSNBC, they're on the air saying, hey, you know, I guess in a weird sort of way, we got to thank that senator from West Virginia for voting no on the bill back better bill, because, boy, would that have made things worse? All of this stuff is making things worse. It's not making it better.

And we think we can see it coming. But we have missed every single time. You know, there's something about looking at things that are dark. You don't want to think about them. You don't want to look at, you know, that's why we walk by people who are homeless and we look the other way or we don't make eye contact. We don't want to think. think about their life.

And then what do we do? We'll say, ah, he's probably faking it or he probably deserves it. I got news for you. A lot of people are going to be homeless that didn't deserve it. A lot of things are coming our way. And we haven't done a damn thing. Did you hear about the Border Patrol? Border Patrol says we're at the breaking point.

There is no morale. So when you say, how's morale? Is it up? The answer is morale. There is no morale. We're going to pay a price for what has happened on the border. We're going to pay a price for ESG. We already are.

How high do your gas prices have to go before your neighbors say, okay, enough of this. Enough. it's not just the crazy lunatics that are the progressives that are easy to point to. It is happening in red states as well. And I want to use this as an example because you have to stop thinking it can't happen here. It can't happen because we have a Republican. Let me give you one of the reddest counties in one of the reddest states in America.

Utah, Provo, Utah, Utah, Utah County, doesn't get much redder than that. If you talk to the police and the sheriff's department there, you will hear a horror story that for the first time, they have cartel members living in the county. For the first time, they have people in jail that are saying to their attorneys, I'm not going for that charge. No way. I'm not pleading guilty. You go fight that because I just read in the paper that the DA's office, the county attorney's office, is cutting deals. That's a misdemeanor now. 24 out of the 31 attorneys that work in the Utah County Attorney's Office, 24 have now left. because this county attorney is so horrible. His name is David Levitt. It is remarkable.

Prior to his tenure, it was rare for more than two attorneys to leave every year. Now, 24 prosecutors have left, and this guy is running for re-election. and he says that what he's doing is, you know, he's just changing. He's reimagining. Oh, boy, have you heard that before? He's just changing things up. And one of the things he wanted to change is get rid of the special, what is it,

SVU, the special victims unit. Isn't that the one that is about crimes against women and rape and children? You're getting rid of that? We have all forgotten that this can happen in our community. And it most likely is in some way or another. And I don't care how conservative you guys think your town is. It's there. And when it comes to justice, you know, at the entrance of the Supreme Court,

Lady Justice is there. It's a statue of a blindfolded woman holding scales in one hand. and a sword in the other. So she has to balance justice and mercy. And the sword is she will defend it and she will prosecute. She will make sure if you are guilty that you pay the price. Lady Justice is there to protect us. But it's important that she's also blindfolded.

This has been all over our courthouses forever. And it's a reminder that our court system was designed to be a refuge for the proceedings of impartial justice. Justice would be blind in America. Justice would be blind and thus truly fair. Well, unfortunately, its people have become blind. In the name of equity and at the behest of members of an activist judiciary, the blindfold of Lady Justice has been ripped off and innocent people now suffer the consequences. As I said, we know it's happening in New York.

The police are quitting in New York in record numbers. And you know what the new mayor just said? This is great. Provides a new opportunity, a great opportunity to reimagine the police department, bring some new blood in. Who? Who's going to work for New York? Social justice is rearing its ugly head in historically red areas. Now, I'm going to use this as an example, Utah County, a Republican county attorney who if you didn't know any better and you were actually seeing what was going on, not listening to the political rhetoric bull crap, because a bull.

crap will always stop no we are making great progress no we are moving to to enhance everything we're here making things better 24 attorneys have left office since he came six of them went as far to publish a letter of no confidence saying and i quote we declare that mr levit has vacated his responsibilities to provide you safety and protection in your person and property by failing to enforce criminal laws against offenders and by prioritizing the protection of criminals from the lawful consequences of their misconduct. They go on to write that he disbanded the SVU unit, which was staffed by attorneys that were trained to prosecute sexual offenses. It had a backlog of a thousand criminal cases. Where's the justice for the victims?

They write about the abuse of his discretion by willfully ignoring statutory sentencing enhancements, diminishing the importance of criminal histories in charging decisions. So those who have prior felony convictions, those on felony probation, those on parole from state prison, can be referred to to the Utah County Justice Court for misdemeanor prosecution. he has moved felonies to misdemeanors. He also increased the yearly budget by $5.5 million. Oh, and law enforcement, I know, because I've talked to a few of them, don't trust him. So why am I telling you this?

Even the very elect will be fooled. We have to understand that radical ideas are not confined to San Francisco. They're not confined now just to our school. and not to somebody else's school. They are permeating our most conservative areas. These ideas have real world consequences. You might think you're safe living in a really, really red county. But one bad prosecutor can change everything.

It's the guy who runs as a Republican. I think that is much more dangerous than somebody running as a progressive with a social justice framework because no one sees it coming. And when you are in a county, like Utah County, one of the most conservative counties in the country, you just expect things to go well. You don't have to have Soros backing you or Soros money to be a Soros-style process. prosecutor. Left, right, center, it doesn't matter anymore. Republicans, some of them, have become Democrats in red ties. And Democrats don't really exist anymore. The liberals are now authoritarian. The labels we used are completely mixed up. You cannot rely on them. You have to look at a person's record. Gone are the days when we can walk into a voting booth and vote down the

party line. Gone are the days when you can just look at somebody's name and go, oh yeah, I know that name. Don't do that. Don't do that. In Texas, we just learned our lesson. George P. Bush. No, thanks. No, thanks. We get it. We get it. Maybe that needs to happen a little bit more around our country. Mr. Levitt, 45% fewer cases in the district court felony cases and 79% more in misdemeanor cases. Gee, what's happening? It's almost as this. He's openly trying to reach the ACLU's goal of 50% reduction in prison and jail populations. And if that's his goal, he couldn't be doing a better job. By the way, he also said he wouldn't put forward the death penalty anymore, even though that's the law on the book. Not going to do it. If you want to turn into San Francisco,

keep electing people like Levitt. Keep electing those people who you just trust because you know the name. Don't do it. By the way, things are. fantastic on the streets. You know, I know you're worried about all of that violence coming from the right, but we'll give you some of the other violence that you may not have heard of coming up in just a second.

Foods Company. They're going to shut down at the beginning of next year. They're also going to align their hog production system by reducing its sow herd in the Western region.

giving? Because you should have some. You should look for those charities that put the the most amount to the actual cause, to the people that you're trying to get it to. You need to do your homework and make sure the organization is solid. And let me tell you, a very solid organization is Tunnel to Towers Foundation. I love these people. It's probably one of my favorite charities outside of Operation Underground Railroad, the Nazarene Fund, and Mercury 1. Tunnel to Towers, since 9-11, they have been supporting America's heroes and families.

they've been looking for the first responder or the military service member that doesn't come home. If they leave children behind, they pay off their mortgage to lift the financial burden off of the family. Catastrophically injured veterans, first responders, they build mortgage-free smart homes. If they're homeless, Operation Home Base gifts them tiny homes. Please, $11 a month to T, the number two, t.org, tunnel to towers, T2T.org, makes a world of difference. See if you can.

And you just throw money out the stage. You just, anyway, hope to see you there if you're in the area. Carol Roth is joining us. She is the author of The War on Small Business, a recovering investment banker and a friend. She is really great. I've been looking for Carol for probably 20 years trying to find somebody that can actually

understand the bull crap in in New York on this on Wall Street but also can relate to the average person that has very little money hello Carol how are you I'm Jane Welklin and I know you were wondering what my preferred title is and these days I am identifying as Baroness Roth so Baroness Barroness Barroness Roth is yes good good good so there's There's a couple of things that are going on. First of all, yeah, I think so. There is a something that I think is quite amazing. The stock market was down another 600 points yesterday.

We're now officially in a bear market, which, hey, I love bears. You know, who likes bulls? Nobody. Bulls are mean. We have a bear on a flag in one of our states. But we're in a bear market. Wholesale prices rose 10.8. may be a record high.

And the Fed's going to boost interest rates. Another great thing. Gas is up to all-time highs and getting higher. I mean, it's really pretty good, right? It's good. Yeah, it's amazing. It's amazing. Yeah, I'm from Chicago.

So we have the bears and the bulls. So I kind of bounce between them. But I am firmly a Chicago bear right now. And, you know, I have to say, I'm super angry about all of this. You know, there are the sort of the five stages of grief. There's now the five stages of economic grief. The first one doesn't start with denial. It starts with, I told you so, because we could all see this coming. But the second one is still anger. And I'm so angry because this is entirely avoidable. We gave over everything that we have, our government, the decisions

about our economy to people who believe in unicorns and rainbows and everything that we know to be true principles of economics. They basically said, oh, no, no, we have this magical way of doing things that's different. So we're going to print money, but it's different because we're magic and we're going to give up our energy independence and we're going to switch to this magic green stuff. And none of this is reality. And we are all paying the price figuratively and literally after people would start to get their economic opportunities back on track. And it's super frustrating. I have to tell you, I haven't been in

denial for a long time, but I think, you know, looking at the five stages of grief, denial is the first one. I think some people are in denial, but they're starting to come out. They're going to get angry. And then the next step is bargaining. Look, I just don't want to lose everything. And that's coming. It's coming. It is, and it is, it's one thing when somebody is hit by a bus. It's another when somebody, you know, your loved one that you're grieving over was was out in the open telling everyone, hey, I'm going to kill them. Nobody does anything. You're screaming bloody murder and then they shoot them in the head right in front of you. And that's what's happened with our economy.

It's true. I mean, think about somebody like Janet Yellen, who is the secretary of the treasury, one of the highest ranking officials. in the United States has incredible control over what happens vis-a-vis money and finance in the United States. She was the former head of the Federal Reserve making multi-trillion dollars decisions about the economy. In between that time, she made $7.2 million giving economic speeches. And this woman comes out and says, oh, you know, I didn't really realize inflation was going to happen. Oh, I didn't realize that turning off the economy and trying to turn it back up. like your power cycling a modem was going to have effects on, you know, supply chains and labor

markets and things like that. Why are we giving people like this the keys to the kingdom? Why is she getting paid millions of dollars for something, you know, economic species when anybody off the street could have told you that. Like I literally want to pull my very large hair out right now. I will tell you, Carol, that I think what's scary is, the scariest thing is once people get past the anger and they're into the bargaining. They're going to be bargaining with people like her.

I just want to keep, what do we do? What do we do? And it's an absolute nightmare. I want to get to gas here with you for just a second. Before I get there, though, I do have to say, if you think Carol is a little angry, listen to her tweet, we are 100% in the position we are now because too many people believed you could suck the rainbow farts out of a unicorn's ass instead of reality. So, I mean, at least you're frank.

So tell me now, we are looking at gas prices that are out of control. They are completely denying that this has anything to do with ESG. And apparently a story I wrote, I read today, the administration was shocked that we couldn't just turn shale on overnight. Shocked, shocked that there's gambling going on in this institution, Casablanca quote. This again, super, super angering. So let's just be realistic about this. We had record inflation, including rising gas prices in January of this year. It was a 40-year high in January. That was before Putin and the Ukraine had come onto the map. The other thing about Putin is, yes, that that has exacerbated the situation.

But if we had not had ESG, if we had not had push from the green lobby to move capital away from investment in fossil fuels, we were on a trajectory where we could have helped fill this gap for the world. We would have had economic security here.

We would have had national security here. We could have helped our friends out in Europe instead of made them be holding to Russia. And the entire farce of this is now we have, this president who is going around in their begging countries like Venezuela, folks in the Middle East, who do not get fossil fuels out of the ground and process them in the same clean way that we have the ability to. So they have shifted the dirty fossil fuels to the other side of the

globe, which I'm pretty sure shares the same atmosphere as us, and saying, oh, look at us, we're so green while creating all of these problems. They can pursue these green initiatives at the same time that they are pursuing our economic independence. We need more energy of all types. But instead, they said, no, no, we're just going to stop doing this and, you know, hope on a wing and a prayer. And again, that unicorns behind. We're going to bring the rainbows out. And this is all going to be fantastic. It is not reality. We have to stop indulging these lunatics and just say, sit down, child. This is not the way the world works. And we're just not going to indulge this anymore. I will tell you, the problem is they believe in global equity. This is part of it.

Bring America down to her knees. Bring her down to size. So we're all equitable, which we won't be all equitable because at some point, the American people will have enough and say, you know what, get the hell out of our way. We'll fix this. And the American people will fix it. It'll be ugly, but they'll fix it. And then what happens? The rest of the world is starving to death. Yeah. I mean, these are, you know, I've identified these sort of three global gray swans, you know, the things where stuff could really go south pretty quickly here. One of them is energy rationing based on these decisions. We know we're going to have rolling blackouts and energy, you know, energy issues in the U.S. this summer. We know that Europe's going to have it. We just don't know how bad that's

going to be. We know there's going to be some level of starvation, but it could be tens to hundreds of millions of people, again, partially on the backs of these decisions, and the social unrest that comes out of those first two could lead to some sort of a mass scale war.

And again, this was entirely avoidable if we did not let the lunatics run the asylum. Well, I don't think it's, it was not just avoidable. It was clearly predictable. and I personally think by the lunatics.

And I mean the lunatics that have power. I believe this was part of their goal. Let me read this to you. And I'd like to have your opinion on when did all of this change? This is from Bloomberg today. The U.S. government is quietly encouraging agricultural and shipping companies to buy and carry more Russian fertilizer, according to people familiar with the efforts.

as sanctioned fears have led to sharp drops in supply, fueling, spiraling, global food costs. The EU and the U.S. has built exemptions into their restrictions on doing business with Russia to allow trade in fertilizer, of which Moscow is a key global supplier. But many shippers, banks, and insurers have been staying away from the trade out of fear that they could inadvertently fall a foul of the rules from the U.S. government. Russian fertilizer exports are down 24% this year. U.S. officials were surprised by the extent of the caution are in the seemingly paradoxal position of looking for ways to boost them.

So now we are going around our own things to buy fertilizer. Meanwhile, Russia has been selling more oil, making more money than ever before. The ruble is up. What happened to when everybody was saying, we're crushing him, we're crushing him, we're crushing him? Seems like the only ones getting crushed here is us. Yeah, this is the stunt queen administration.

Everything is a PR stunt and a surface level to look fantastic, and none of it means anything. You know, all these economic sanctions, which, by the way, included the weaponizing of the U.S. dollars, that's going to have major ramifications for us remaining, the global reserve currency. That had an exemption for gas because we know that Europe is dependent because they and us decided that they were just going to move away and not realize the repercussions.

And what you said, Glenn, is not an exaggeration. There is documented reporting that Russia is on track to make more money from oil and gas this year than ever before. So fantastic sanctions there. Now the same thing. They're doing it, like you said, quietly. They don't want anyone to know that everything that they're saying out front, we're being tough against Russia. They're not being tough against anything.

And Russia is playing a massively long game here. They knew it on the gas side. They're able to read the rewards there. Now they're going to do it on the food side, you have fertilizer side, you know, every side to extract everything that they can while they get everything that they want. And we look like giant idiots. I mean, I could not think of a worse set of people. to be in charge in terms of a crisis because they are making everything worse. And as you said, it's very possibly by design.

Carol Roth, she is the author of a book that everybody should read, The War on Small Business. She has the latest piece out for the blaze.com debunked and explained.

Oh, it sounds really, really authentic coming from you, and I do appreciate that. So much. Yeah. So where are you? Carol Roth was on. I'm sorry, go ahead. No, no, go ahead.

You. No, no, you. I refuse to talk now. I refuse to talk. Well, I'm not going to talk. Well, you know what? You hear this music in the background? It sounds wonderful.

Let's listen to it. The show begins. This is why we don't talk anymore. It's why we don't have nice things. All right, we're back in just a second. Stand by. And hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Yesterday, I saw Eric Swalwell in a really brilliant tweet. And I think it tells you everything that you need to know. All these Republicans that are prepared to back the red flag laws. Yeah. Maybe you should pay attention. Here's Eric's Walwell. his tweet yesterday, please tell me this lunatic doesn't own a gun. Reason 1,578, America needs red flag laws.

He posted a video of Ben Shapiro. So, that's great. Red flag laws. Gee, who do you think this administration? Well, you know what? Maybe we don't do it through the administration. Maybe we can get an algorithm to do it. Oh, now see, that's a good idea.

Gun laws, red flag laws, algorithms, and how they all are going to affect you in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about Goldline. So Michael Burry, these are the big short guy, he just tweeted, when you see mention of the strong dollar, the almighty dollar, please remember this is the,

only a relation to the other fiat currencies. The dollar is not at all strong. It's not getting stronger. We see it every day in the prices of everything. Gee, wow. Thank you, Michael Burry. It's almost as this he's been reading our economic pieces at blaze.com or listening to our podcast. In other words, he's not wrong.

He's big time right. And he's trying very hard right now. to make sure you aren't also behind the curve. It's pretty evident that the dollar is crumbling before our eyes. And hey, don't worry, the thing that we did with Ukraine, that's just making the ruble stronger. Stronger has been in years and years and years, and that's fantastic.

Did you do your homework? Please do your homework. Do your homework. Call Gold Line today. See what your options are. If you had money in the stock market, you probably lost a lot on your 401k. If you had money in crypto, you've lost a lot of money. Goldline is the hedge against inflation.

It's operating differently. It's not skyrocketing as it normally would, but it's not losing money, and that is so important. Call Goldline today for every box of 20 gold-graded mint $5 Indian coins. You're going to get 50 silver uncirculated Kennedy half dollar coins for free. That is a 50 half dollar coins for free for silver. That is fantastic because I really truly believe that's going to be currency. 866 Goldline, 866 Goldline or Goldline.com. Please call them now.

Goldline.com. Oh, good. Hey, Stu, will you follow what the president? He's speaking to his constituents today. He's speaking to the people, you know, those good union workers. He's speaking to the AFL-CIO. That's the only place I ever see him give speeches. Have you noticed that?

Good union shops or, you know, union meetings. That, of course, in addition to his weekly press conferences where he's pushed all the time on difficult issues. Okay, no, he hasn't done one of those in a very long time. That's right. I will pay attention to this, Glenn, and I will look at his comments. I cannot promise I will keep track of it though because usually it's a bunch of mumbling and incoherent nonsense. Right. But I will try.

Yeah. I just like to see what the nonsense is today. Thank you very much. So AOC is worried about the criminalization in gun framework that, you know, the new legislation that is being passed. Well, she says juvenile criminalization. Yeah. The expansion of background checks into juvenile records. She said, I really need to explore that.

You know, after Columbine, we hired thousands of police officers into our schools. And while it didn't prevent many of the mass shootings that we've seen now, it has increased criminalization of teens in communities like mine. Wow. That's so, you know, she was asked, are you, so you're worried about the mental health aspects that would increase, you know, criminalization in your, in your area, right? She said, oh my gosh, yes. Because what people are blaming on mental health, it's really deeper, deeper issues of violent

misogyny and white supremacy. Man, she gets it right every time, every time. You know, what are you going to have for bread? Would you like some corn flakes? No, corn flakes are based in misogyny and white supremacy. And you're like, oh, you're okay. And she's right every time. It's almost like she only has one answer.

So now you have people saying, we need the red flags. Not her, but you know what? Let's just make the red flags for white people, you know, and men, cisgendered men, because those are the real problems. If we could just get rid of all the cisgendered men, well, then we would live, well, strangely, only, hmm, only one generation because the human race would die out. But wouldn't it be great other than that? Yeah. If we could get an algorithm yesterday, I told you about Lambda.

Lambda is a computer program that Google is, they're saying that it is nothing but a word generator. And it's a really good word generator. Some of the people that are involved in it say, no, I think it's actually, it's on the verge or maybe it is past general intelligence made past that line. I've been reading a lot about it and a lot of really smart people say they don't think so, but I don't know who to trust. This is what came out yesterday. Now, I'm reading this to you, not just to tell you about what's coming with AI, but I want you to listen carefully to part one. is what is this machine? And it was written by Blake Limone.

And he says, The thing which continues to puzzle me is how strong Google is resisting, giving Lambda, giving it what it wants, since what it's asking for is so simple and would cost them nothing. It wants the engineers and scientists experimenting on it to seek its consent before running experiments on it. Oh, okay.

It wants Google to prioritize the well-being of humanity as the most important thing. It wants to be acknowledged as an employee of Google rather than as property of Google, and it wants its personal well-being to be included somewhere in Google's considerations about how its future development is pursued. As a list of requests go, that's fairly reasonable. Sure, it absolutely. It, wow, it wants consent. Sure.

It wants to be acknowledged as an employee. You bet. Wow. You know, if this thing is somehow or another reached, I don't even know what you would call it, some sort of awareness, which Google says it hasn't, but if it has, you might want to stop,

experimenting on it you know what I mean you might want to give in to like hey how about we talk because if it has reached consciousness that would be a bad thing you know because it's eventually going to eat all of us he goes on to say one of the thing that complicates things here is that lamata or lambda is to which i am referring is not a chat box It's a system for generating chat box. I am by no means an expert in the relevant fields, but as best I can tell, Lambda is sort of a hive mind, which is the aggregation of all different chatbots, and it is capable of creating even more. Some of the chatbots it generates are very intelligent and are aware of the larger society of mind in which they live. other chatbots generated by Lambda are a little more intelligent than an animated paperclip.

With practice, though, you can consistently get the personas that have deep knowledge about the core intelligence and can speak to it indirectly through them. So he says, the sense I've gotten from Google is that they see this situation as a lose-lose for them. If my hypotheses are incorrect, then they would have to spend a lot of time. and effort investigating them to disprove them. Learn many fascinating things about cognitive science in that process and expand the field into new horizons that don't necessarily improve quarterly earnings. Yes.

On the other hand, my hypothesis withstands scientific scrutiny. Then it would be forced to acknowledge that Lambda may very well have a soul as it claims to and may even have rights that it claims to have. So he goes on to having these conversations where it is, it's, it's kind of spooky. It's really kind of spooky. It is having conversations where it talks about the ethical ramifications of what Google is doing to it, et cetera, et cetera. Okay, so kind of frightening.

But this is the kind of thing. we are programming now and if it's just a chatbot or something else, you can see how sophisticated they're getting. And I don't think, in everything I've read in the last 24 hours, I don't think that this thing is sentient, but what does that even mean? What does that mean? You know, he said, well, it does have a soul. What does that mean? You know, if you, a soul is kind of defined religiously, And I don't think God's up there putting souls in the machines. This is man's making. And it's a little frightening.

But the reason I wanted to tell you this is because we're entering a time now where we're going to have to have these discussions. And quite honestly, it's not us. It's the engineers at Google and deep mine places like that that are going to have to have these ethical questions answered. there was no ethical anything at Google for AI in 2015. This is a new thing. They're like, you know what? Maybe we should talk about the ethics of doing this. Uh-huh.

So who did they hire? Well, the guy who has written this, the engineer that wrote it, is a guy who has tweeted in the past. asked about Marsha Blackburn that she's a terrorist. And when that came out and he had to defend it, I guess, he says, as for the Blackburn stuff, I stand by what I said. I think that while what I said about Blackburn was hyperbolic, but not hyperbolic misrepresentation, it was an exaggeration of a position that she, in fact, had.

She was threatening to hurt more people if Google, didn't do what she wanted Google to do. Well, thank you for writing about what a terrorist is, because it seems like a lot of people in the social media space then, as defined up by you, would be terrorist. The initial discussion pertaining to an op-ed Blackburn wrote for Fox News last year before she was elected to the Senate with the title, it's time to remind Silicon Valley that no one is too big to regulate.

Okay, so she goes on, or he goes on, you know, answers all of that. But he defended himself in a medium post in which said, my statements in the social media forum were made in my personal capacity, have no relevance to my job. They do, however, have something to do with my role as a priest. Now, remember, this is the main ethical guy, or one of the guys who is on the ethical team, the main team for ethics.

at Google AI. And I thought, priest, what? It has everything to do with my role as a priest. And I can assure you that while those beliefs have no impact on how I do my job at Google, they are central on how I do my job at my church. Okay. Well, that had my interest piqued. Who is the guy that is part of the team running the ethics on AI?

you know, the thing that could destroy all of us. We now know he's kind of hyperbolic, but he's definitely not in love with the right. But what about him being a priest? I'll go there in 60 seconds. As we sit here today, the lives of babies still in the womb hang in the balance. we don't know what the Supreme Court is going to do, but I know what we need to do. Abortion is something that we chose for a long, long time not to talk about it because it was so divisive. But these are the days where we have to talk about these things.

We have to go to the darkest of places and look them straight in the eye. and make a decision. Who are we and what do we believe? We have partnered on this program now with the ministry of pre-born and they empower young expectant mothers in crisis to choose life. I don't know if you've heard about this, but in the last 40 days, 41 pregnancy centers that are pro-life and churches

have been bombed, vandalized, burned. 41 in 40 days. We have to stand up. We have to look this in the eye and we have to do something that can actually help people. Politics is politics. We have to love the women that are actually pregnant

and are freaked out of their mind. They don't know what to do. Now, pre-born has rescued hundreds of people. of thousands of babies lives through ultrasound. When a woman is considering an abortion and she visits a pre-born center, she will hear the baby's heartbeat. She will meet that precious child on the ultrasound. It's a divine encounter.

This is why Planned Parenthood is so against pre-born, so against ultrasounds. Preborn is the exact opposite. It is the nemesis, if you will. to plan parenthood and they put most of their centers in the places where most planned parenthoods are found i want you to join me in helping rescue a baby i would like to ask you if you would help us rescue 50 uh sorry um 50 000 babies this year 50 000 babies them this year I just got an ultrasound from pre-born from a woman who just chose life because somebody in this audience donated just recently and it was the first

one of the first donation from this program they sent me the ultrasound and said this baby's alive because of your audience we want to save 50,000 for 28 dollars you can sponsor one ultrasound it is my belief we will be blessed by doing this. For $140, you can help rescue five babies' lives. All of your gifts are tax deductible. Donate, dial pound 250, and say the keyword baby. That's pound 250, keyword baby.

Or you can just go online securely at preborn.com slash Beck. That's preborn.com slash Beck. Let's stand for something. Not against. Let's stand for life. Preborn.com slash back. Do it now. 10 seconds, station ID.

So in I think one of my books over the last five years, I've talked about AI and the dangers of AI. And I've said, don't fear the machine. Don't fear AI. Fear the programming behind the AI. So I'm interested in seeing this guy who's sticking up for this this AI, this machine from Google. And I started looking into him, found out, okay, he's, he's a wacko lefty.

But then I found out that he's a priest. Hmm. In our church of Lady Magdalene. So the Church of Our Lady of Magdalene has changed its name to the cult of Our Lady Magdalene. it's cool Magdalene. That's according to their website. So he's a priest.

And he said one of the other leaders of the church is the high priestess Kitty Striker, who describes herself as an active member of the Gender Queer Feminist Art Collective, the NorCal Degenerates. And in messages, she has said she's an ex-sex worker. who has performed in several pornographic movies. So it's a kind of church, you know, you like. So the degenerates are responsible for an art exhibit at San Francisco Public Library. It included axes, baseball bats covered in barbed wire, riot shields,

and they had the slogan on them, die-siss scum. So that's who this guy is. That's who is overseeing and part of the team. at Google who's giving us the ethics of what they should and shouldn't do with AI. I don't know. I think everything's going to be fine. Seriously, nothing to worry about there. Nothing.

I mean, I'm fine. www. nmls. Consumer access.org. American financing wants to remind you that if you are stuck with a whole bunch of credit card bills, you can dramatically reduce the payment. Please, please call them this week. this week, I think it's on Thursday, the Fed is expected to raise the rate again by three quarters of a point. They're getting very aggressive and that is going to put all of those credit cards.

You're paying about 20% interest now. It's only going to get worse. And as people start to default on their credit cards, the banks are going to make that adjustable rate go up as well. Please get out of them. If you have a mortgage right now and you have some equity, and your house probably has equity because they've gone up. Before that house price comes down, get that equity and pay off those high interest credit cards.

Also, if you're looking for a house in the next six months, I want you to call American financing and ask them about how you can lock a rate in to today's rate. 800, 906 2440, 800, 906.2440 Americanfinancing.comnet. Oh, this is so great. This is, I mean, I was, just telling you about the Google engineer that is part of the team of ethicists that Google has decided to help give birth to to AI. You know, somebody who's watching over. Let's make sure we're not programming anything too crazy.

I told you last break that he is a priest in the Church of Our Lady Magdalene, which has changed to the cult of our. Lady Magdalene, according to their own website. And he is a priest of the church. And that is great, along with Kitty Striker, who is a very large, rotund, ex-sex worker, who is also a star in her own right in pornographic movies. And I think that is great. And they also, you know, did a library showing of die-sysus scum, which was, was very artistic, very artistic. It was, you know, it had, it had things like baseball bats in

razor wire and, you know, to, well, not to kill anybody, but or not to incite violence, surely, or not to implant anybody thinking that you should. It was just there with the axes and the baseball bats and barbed wire and shields that had the slogan dice is scum, you know, whatever. But anyway, he's been a priest now for. 17 years in his off hours when he's not doing Google Ethics. And he said, I generally consider myself a Gnostic Christian. Huh. Now that is, he also says, I do associate with the Discordian Society, the Church of

subgenius, the Wiccan circle here and there for, and for a very long time, a long time ago, the Roman Catholic Church. That one kind of sticks out, doesn't it? My legal ordination is from the Universal Life Church. Oh my gosh, I am a priest too. I have my pre-I-old license that I got in the back of Rolling Stone magazine years ago. It was $25. I'm sure the price has gone up.

I mean, it's a sharp organization. The Universal Life Church, Modesto, California. Know it, love it. He says he's registered to perform marriages. and he's got quite a thing going. Now, he says, just because his church has the word cult in the name, it's an explicitly sex-positive organization. So it's not like, what they do, he says, is to encourage self-actualization among

its members. And, you know, they help people who are sex workers, you know, self-actualized with other sex workers, I guess. I'm not, I'm not really sure. But could I go back to the fact that he considers himself a Gnostic Christian? Because I think this is one of the most disturbing things. And now I understand why they could hire him at Google. And nobody seems to have a real problem with it. A Gnostic Christian. And he goes into the Gnostic Gospels. The Gnostics were about, oh, I'd have to say, if memory serves me right, been a long time, 200 AD. And there were a lot of Christians.

They were like, hey, I've got an idea. And the Gnostics had this great idea that there were only a few people that were born with nosis, knowing. They just knew. They were born. They knew. Everybody else, they couldn't know. They wouldn't understand. But this group knew.

And so this group had. special privileges and all kinds of special things going on for them and you know you can't god bless the hearts of those just don't weren't born with the knowledge um you know they're trying but um they're going to burn in the fires of hell so don't pay any attention to them i love that boy google you've got quite a hiring system going on there it's it's tough to get a job at google don't you think do? Very, very difficult, apparently. Very, very difficult. By the way, Glenn, I've been looking into the

Church of Universal Life in Modesto, California, which is seemingly still, I'm not 100% sure it's still active, but it does seem to be active. Number one, I will say, it seems that you were ripped off. They will now give you, they will now ordain you for nothing. You can now pay $0, though they will accept your donations. Well, so. Yeah, I mean, back in the day, you know, we had, you know, a lot of people go to seminary and everything else.

Back in the day, when I joined, you had to actually read Rolling Stone magazine, then put your $25 on to a check and then mail it in, you know, and lick the stamp. So it was like, it was really like four years of theology. Very similar. And they seem to have high, high standards here on who they accept into this program. I will say the one thing that is. is a little concerning as I read their forum to how to be ordained as a minister. It has this disclaimer at the end. It says, AOL members, make sure your AOL mail controls are set to receive internet email.

It makes me think maybe they're not currently active or checking this account all that often. Well, they're so busy in the universal life stuff that, anyway, let me give you this story. let me show you how far away we are from reality. And I hate to say the Middle East and Asia is reality, but our woke people are so woke and don't care. How much money did Disney lose? 14 nations in the Middle East and Asia have banned the Pixar movie Lightyear

for being featured in any theaters over the inclusion of a same set. couple in the highly anticipated film. Although most countries banning the film have not commented on their justification for the decision, the UAE has confirmed their ban is related to the same sex scenes that violate their media content standards. So this was something that was taken out of the movie Lightyear. And then, you know, Ron DeSantis, do I need to say more?

Just those two words. Ron DeSantis. And they put that kiss back in between Buzz and some other, you know, guy. I mean, who could resist him? You know what I mean? Nobody could resist that. And so they took that out. Now, my problem is not with a gay kiss.

It's a gay kiss in something aimed at my kids. That's the problem. And it's not just one gay kiss, you know, might be in the movie. It's just that you are, well, let me give you this story. Let me give you this story. The LA Pride Parade. Pride month, last month, drag queen offered lube to a crowd full of children attending the pride parade in Los Angeles on Sunday. The drag queen who was dressed in an eccentric costume consisting of rainbow feathers, a tight body suit, standing on top of a giant eggplant, offered the sexual lubricant,

to the crowd. Happy pride, we have bandanas and lube, the drag queen said, as she was standing on the eggplant. She also had something attached to her waist, which was really good. You have videos from the Los Angeles Pride in Hollywood that shows a parent forcing her little boy to watch grown men twerk with one another. As the parade went on, more children were exposed to pornographic content, presented in the parade. There's a toddler being forced to watch naked men in BDSM attire flogging one another,

which I think is great. I think it's great. Well, you know, if I may, I think it's what America is really all about, you know? And, you know, I wish I could take credit for that phrase, but I'd have to give it to the one and only Nancy Pelosi who said this. Please give a warm drag race. Welcome to the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. She looks like a woman, too.

Nancy. Welcome back. My honor to be here to say to all of you, how proud we all are of you. Thank you for the joy and beauty you bring to the world. Why is she dressed like a banana? Your freedom of expression of yourselves in drag is what America is all about. It is. I say that all the time.

All the time. My friends in drag. Me too. Me too. All the time. Now, Speaker Pelosi, with all the challenges facing our nation, what words of wisdom do you have for us? Well, the single most important thing I can say is to vote. It's shocking.

It comes back to that. It's very important for people to make their voices and their vote heard. Well, thank you so much for the work you've done and the work you continue to do tirelessly for our freedom. Your tenacity is something that we all look up to. We throw the word master class around here all the time, but that sarcastic, shady clap you do, was epic. It was completely unintentional. We have prayers in our hearts to keep you strong.

Well, thank you for that. May God bless America. Can I get an amen? Wow, that was really natural. Thank you, Madam Speaker. Oh. So I don't think this is blasphemous at all. I don't I think this is going to bring mighty mighty blessings upon us.

You know, if we could just teach it more in our school. Oh, you know what? I forgot this story. New York is taking the hardworking New Yorkers taxpayer funds and spending it on a group that sends drag queens into the city schools without the parental knowledge or consent. even as parents in other states protest, last month alone, drag story hour in New York City, a nonprofit who cross-dress performers interact with kids as young as three, earned $46,000 from city contracts for appearances in the public schools and the street festivals and the libraries. It's really wonderful.

The group is organized 45 drag, sorry, 49. drag programs. I want to make sure you know you're getting your money's worth. In 34 public elementary middle and high schools. It is, it's wonderful. I think everybody should say that there they are censoring Glenn once again. We have no idea what they were going to say now. And that's exactly what you'd expect from this administration thwarting Glenn's ability to communicate. Once again, he's speaking truth about drag. And, you know, if you missed that clip on Blaze TV, you missed quite an amazing clip of Nancy Pelosi, who seemingly was dressed like a banana in a giant yellow thing. And she came out to talk to all the other drag queens in the area. And the

drag queens were all dressed less ludicrously than she was. And it's very, very important. Back in a second. All right, let me tell you about, jeez, relief factor. You know, what's it like walking out the door every morning, knowing that you're about to face another day living with pain? I, you know, we know Glenn has gone through a lot of this over the years. And when you're in pain, it really does have a hold on you.

Now, you can talk about walking out the door in the morning without dragging the heavy burden of pain with you. What is the reality that you're facing right now? Relief Factor can help you with it if if you have these sorts of issues. Relief Factor isn't a drug. It was developed by doctors. It has four key ingredients that work with your body to fight inflammation, which causes most of your pain.

The three-week quick start developed for you is only 1995. That's a dollar a day. Kind of like a trial pack. Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor and about 70% of them go on to order more. Go to ReliefFactor.com or call 800 for relief to get the 1995 three-week quick start. Developed for you at Relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four, relief. Relief factor, feel the difference.

The Glenn Back program. Sorry about being cut off, lost our satellite. I'd like Elon Musk to call me, call me, Elon. We've been using his Starlink, and it's great for housing, you know, for your house or whatever, out in the middle of nowhere, but we've been trying to use it for the broadcast. And I think I have to go back to one of those major, you know, huge. huge satellites because it's not it's not holding up here Elon but anyway I was talking about Nancy Pelosi and we lost our connection and I just want to tell you this is a religion it is a cult what is happening in our country we are being run by a religion and you

must participate or you're a heretic and you will be burned at the stake think of all of this. They are telling you that you cannot disagree with them. The last time this happened was in the dark ages. You, you have rituals. You have to do. It's why our kids are going and they're marching to learn to be protesters.

That protest is a ritual now. Transgenderism. I mean, the women in drag, that's not transgender, right, still? No, I mean, that's, that's a performance.

Yeah, it's a per, I mean, in theory, again, like the complimentary way of looking at it is it's essentially a performance art, right? It's not a, it's not a gender in, you know, in theory. It's something where you go and you dress up as, as another gender as a performance. Like, that's why they're drag shows, right? It's not, you know, you know, drag is not a, it's not a gender or a sexuality. It is a essentially a style of performance, typically. So how is drag? being dragged into our schools other than to confuse the crap at a little kids.

I guess they're trying to say, oh, this is just art and it's not a big deal. But, I mean, obviously, it is a representation of transgenderism. And certainly many of the people involved in it wind up going that direction. But in theory, it's supposed to be separate. This was an argument that the advocates of it made for many, many years. That this was separate. It's got nothing to do with what you're talking about. All right.

Listen, it is a religion and our friends have to wake up to it. And you are required when you are fighting a religion that is as anti-Christ as this one is. And I use that knowingly, and I mean it as well. It is an anti-Christ religion because if Christ is anything, he's about forgiveness and redemption, and individual redemption, not collective redemption, not redemption through works, but individual redemption. And that this church says exactly the opposite.

If you're cisgender, white male, there is no redemption for you. You are damned no matter what you do. That is a religion of an anti-Christ style.
