for you today. It's like day two or three I know It's already out sick. It's been a long year Okay, it's It is time to get rid of some things. Glenn could be one of them, but you should probably all start thinking about getting rid of

all those old pairs of sweatpants and underwear that are like grimy and full of holes and they look like you went through a world war with them. They are comfortable though. And I understand why you might not want to get rid of that old stuff. But if you want to go and get something different, something new, something awesome, you're going to want Tommy Johns. They've got you covered, literally. their underwear has breathable, lightweight, moisture-wicking fabric with four times the stretch of competing brands,

and you'll feel the same level of comfort layering their luxurious soft loungeware right on top. I got to tell you, man, that loungeware, I never want to get out of it. The Tommy John stuff I have, I love it. You will love it too. I promise you that. You can wear them pretty much everywhere, and they're really comfortable. Check it out.

Stand up. It's 2022. And Glenn decided not to stand up out of bed today. He's sick. He made it one day. One day. About two, right? Well, two days. That's true. Two days. He made two days. It's day three. And that's it. No, he'll be back. Hopefully tomorrow. He's got a big Donald Trump interview. Luckily, he pre-tape. it because that would have been a would have been an issue today. We'll get into everything that's going on. There is a lot to go through today. It's stew in for Glenn with Jeff Fisher from his

fabulous podcast Chewing the Fat. You should check that out as well. We'll start the show here in about 60 seconds. So what a great taste. 17 grams of protein, 130 calories, four grams of sugar, four net carbs. What do they all have in common? Usually, I I don't know. It's like bite one of something that tastes good or some terrible diet product that does not have the great taste. Well, usually healthy food isn't supposed to taste great. That's what we've all learned throughout our entire lives. But if you have New Year's resolutions that are going on right now to eat healthier, I mean, or if your wife's new year's resolution for you is to eat healthier, this is the way to do it. Because you can kind of, this is a little bit of a scam of the system, Jeffrey, where with built bars,

You can kind of go around the system. You can eat healthy and basically be eating candy bars. So, I mean, I've already beat that game. Yeah? Yeah, because Bilt Bar and myself have been friends for a while now. It's a nice relationship you have. Difficult to eat just one. That is the issue.

You're supposed to eat one at a time. But you know what? Built Bar is going to hook you up with as many as you need. Built is proving that, of course, the rules about snacks have changed, and now you don't have to have a protein bar that tastes like. junk. You can have something that tastes really good. It actually doesn't suck. Go to built.com. Use the promo code Beck 15. Get 15% off your order. Use promo code Beck 15 for 15% off right now at built.com. All right. Glenn is out today and he is sick. We got the call this

morning. We don't know if it's the Kron or not. Oh no. Could it be the Kron? We don't know. oh everyone on earth right now has omacron. Yeah, if you're sick, you've got it. Even if you're not sick, I'm pretty sure you have homicron. Everyone on earth right now, no matter where you're listening to me, you're thinking yourself, I don't have omicron. Yes, you do. You might not know it yet.

But everyone on earth has omicron. That does feel like the situation right now. I had a bunch of people, friends of mine, relatives of mind that got it over the holidays. We came in here yesterday. It looked like a war zone had gone on. Everyone seemed like they were sick. Why am I in this room? No, I know.

This is the COVID room. This is where we keep all the people we want to kill. Jeffie, welcome to the program. Thank you. I was happy to be here. Wait, I'm in here too. This is not a good idea. But it really does seem that way.

So many weird things are happening right now. You know, my kids love a little Panda Express. Now, I know you would never go. You're not a fast food guy. You're not an unhealthy food guy. I like to slave over the stove. Yeah. My kids love authentic Chinese food from Panda Express.

Thank you. You know, the orange chicken. This goes back to millennia. You might as well get something for yourself. Right. Occasionally, I'll dabble in a little Panda Express. It can be quite delicious. However, around us right now, it's not delicious because it's not open.

And I thought to myself, Panda Express. It's got an adorable panda on the sign. It's got delicious, authentic Chinese food that goes back millennia. Of course, it couldn't have gone out of business, right? No way. Panda Express locations can't possibly go out of business. And they have not gone out of business. They have just closed because they don't have any employees.

What? They can't staff the restaurant. Not even two guys? I mean, two people? One person running the register and one person at the window? We don't even have that. Well, does someone have to cook the food in your scenario? I think somebody does.

I thought that was already pre-made. No. It's authentic. It goes back millennia. I'm sorry. But it's interesting. So three. They have a sign up that says temporarily closed due to staffing issues.

So they can't even open the restaurant. I went to a sports bar. This is going back a couple of months. A sports bar. Now, what is a sports bar for? Usually you go there. You drink beer. You watch sports.

You may order. Some wage. or nachos or whatever, right? Those are evening activities, right? They are. Right? Like the games come on at 7 or 8 o'clock at night. Well, I thought we were supposed to have a problem if you were at a bar at noon.

Right. Apparently not. But the sports bar closed at 9 p.m. Because they couldn't get employees to work two shifts. So they were all working from like the beginning of lunch till whatever 10 o'clock at night, you know. And they just. Nobody wanted to work the night show. They didn't have enough people to open the restaurant.

What is happening? There's a Chick-fil-A location near us that has only the drive-thru open because they don't have enough people to open up the inside of the restaurant. It's not COVID-related. They just, it's not like everyone's necessarily sick, although that is part of it. Part of it is the economy where they can't get people to come in and take jobs that, you know, We used to always be able to fill. I thought it was still kind of COVID related for the, for the lobbies in that.

There's a Chick-fil-A that I pass by from time to time. And, I mean, they bring it out to you. Yeah. So, I mean, I feel like those are the same people that would be waiting on you in the lobby, right? If you were, if you, if they opened up the lobby. Right. Opening up the lobby, though, you've got people who need to clean. You've got, you know, tables need to be washed down.

There's other, you know, garbages need to be. cleaned out. There's more responsibility there. And I think that they're so lightly staffed they don't want to take it on. And of course if you know, places have been pretty innovative with this stuff, which is kind of cool. But it does kind of go to this like bottom line here where you have this

this weird intersection. Yeah. Of literally every person on earth being sick right now. And nobody wants to work. And they they said November was the highest number in history. In U.S. history for people quitting their jobs. Yeah. And some of that is good if you happen to be out in the job market right now and you're

looking for a job. I have a friend who, you know, he, he was working out of a place. He quit, he quit his job over the mask mandate they had at his job. He was, I am not wearing a mask anymore. I'm sick of this. I've been doing it for too long. Screw you. I don't know how you do it.

I don't know how some of the people do it in those, in those places where they wear it all day long. All day long. I don't know that I could do that. And as you see, the people who get to wear the masks all day long are the peons that Nancy Pelosi walks by without a mask. Right. Whoever's at the fancy dinner party, they get to have no mask on while all the people serving

them, the expensive food, they're all wearing the masks, which makes complete in total sense. I did see, and I don't know if this is true. You know, the Internet occasionally gives us some misleading pictures, but I saw a picture of one of these. It looked like it was true. It came from a college football game over the holidays. And it was a band. And they're playing all their wind instruments blown into their saxophones.

With masks on. With a hole in the mask so that they could blow into the saxophone. I did see several pictures like that. How is that? How on earth could anyone think that's sane? We live in insane times. Well, that's no question. We live in insane times.

We most definitely do. It does seem like putting a hole in the mask to blow your wind instrument is counterproductive. And it does seem that way. But let me make the argument for it here. Because putting a mask on outdoors has no science behind it whatsoever. The New York Times has. You wouldn't know that to look around. Yeah.

No, it's true. you go, depending on where you live, you live in a blue state somewhere, you probably walk around and see people outside all the time with masks on. Now, the New York Times has written this and, you know, it's the typical place I quote it, but there's no disagreement with this. There has never, ever, in the entire history of the pandemic, been a recorded case of outdoor transmission outside of close conversation. None. Not one since the beginning of the pandemic. This is not. Yeah, but are you counting everything?

Everything. I mean, everything. Since day one, since they started welding people into apartments in Wuhan. Right. No outdoor cases of transmission since the beginning of the pandemic outside of, you know, I mean, I guess you make out with a bunch of people at a party that's outdoors, you could probably pass it. Yeah. But close conversation is the only exception to that. So if you're out, you know, even at a sporting event, there doesn't seem to be any record of some super spreader event that's occurred.

in that scenario. Now, as you may know, you go to a sporting event. What do you do afterward? A lot of times you go into bars nearby that are indoors. And that stuff, yeah, we've had lots of spread indoors. But outdoors seems to be a nice, it's a safe space. It is a safe space. It's supposed to be.

Now, that does not stop blue city after blue city and blue state after blue state from mandating masks outdoors from stopping people from there was one country is stopping people from walking their dogs overnight. From 10 to 6, you're not allowed to walk your dog. Curfew, you can't go out, can't do anything. Which the one time you'd want people out is the time when people aren't, when it's not going to be crowded, right?

If there was a chance of transmission outdoors, which, by the way, let me say again, there is not. But if there was a chance, then you'd want people to spread out and go out at 3 in the morning and walk their dog. It's amazing to me that this is still happening. It is.

I mean, we're, we're, Two years into this now? Yeah. Two years deep. This is year three of the 15 days to stop the spread. Right. And we are, I mean, we had people in places in the beginning that were having curfews and lockdowns. And we had, you know, you see the guy.

I remember my favorite guy in France during the curfew and he couldn't walk. They were allowing people to go out and walk their animals. They were allowing you out during the day to walk your animals for like, 15 minutes or something like that. Right to get back in. And the guy was out walking his fish. You know, he was out walking his fish.

So he was saying, I got to get outside. And the police were giving them a hard time. I remember seeing them, you know, give them a hard time because they were saying that, you're not walking. Fish need their exercise too.

I agree. I agree. I just did a story this morning on Pat Unleased during my chewing the fat segment where scientists in Israel have now taught goldfish to drive. I mean, it's fast. I mean,

why do you want to do that? I don't know. Money maybe. That's it. But I don't know what good goldfish driving does for the world. It is the beginning of a sci-fi movie where the goldfish take over. I'll tell you that. That scene one in that film. But again, that was during the beginning of when we didn't know anything. Right. This is what's so frustrating. I think, you know, we're seeing now, Omicrod, and we're going to go through some of this here in a minute. We have the studies from South Africa and the UK. We'll go through some of the details here. But we're seeing Omicron breakthrough, not just vaccine immunity, but natural immunity.

I mean, it's going through everything. It's busting through everything. It's definitely going through your cloth mask. That is something like the masks have always been an ineffective tool. There are some studies where you can find slight benefits in certain circumstances from masks. Cloth masks, not really much. They pretty much. The experts have pretty much.

much admitted that now with the clock mask. They've wiped that out. With Omicron, they're saying, okay. Yet if you watch, you watch the news, they say, well, I mean, we know what we have to do. Well, we just got to, we got to wash our hands. We got to mask up and get vaccinated. It's like, all right, well, the vaccine is, we can go through the details of that. That's aren't during the study.

We'll get to that in a second. But hand washing, we know that is not how this is transmitted. Now, should you wash your hands? Sure. Because if you don't, you're gross. Okay? It's got nothing to do with Omicron. I just find you personally repulsive if you don't do it.

20 seconds, man. You should just do it. Okay. You know, I just got an Apple Watch. And they actually have a feature on there that's turned on by default for hand washing. Well, that's good. And it tells you how long you're supposed to be washing your hands as if as adults, we can't figure this out. You didn't wash your hands long enough.

Yes. So, by the way, I turned that feature off. I can figure that one out on my own. I know how to sing happy birthday twice. But like we know that is not how transmission happens. We know all the obsessive cleaning around gyms and movie theaters. This is not how transmission happens. We know that cloth masks are not effective, especially against Omicron.

I mean, if you wanted to make the case back in the day, well, you know, when we didn't know a lot, against Omicron, come on. We all know this is breaking through every level of defense. So a lot of the media now are. are starting to spread their cloth mask along with the medical mask. Right. Now, you want to do an N95 mask? I don't think even the medical mask is going to do much against Omar Crom. But maybe you want to do the N95?

I think you can get some protection out of that. Some protection, sure. But you know what? That's you protecting you. You don't have to worry about us, yokels that aren't wearing masks. If you happen to be in a blue city and you're thinking yourself, I just can't believe these Fox News and Talk Radio viewers who will not. put on their bandanas to protect me.

You can protect yourself with a good mask. Buy the N95 masks. Slap the thing on your face. I won't mind not talking to you for the entire time. Go through your little grocery store. Don't talk to anyone because that can help spread droplets. Just walk through and leave everybody else alone. Yelling at the people that aren't wearing masks is a good way to spread the virus, by the way.

So go wear a mask that protects you. stop worrying about what everybody else does. That's where we are in the pandemic. We're beyond the level where any of this is sane. There are lots of treatments. There are lots of things you can do. You can choose to do them. You can choose not to do them.

At this point, that is on you. And that is what America. That's how America was built, right? Like people taking responsibility for their own actions. And this is not a collectivist society. You're not going to get everyone to agree with you on what steps you're going to take. So take the steps you believe are the right ones to take in your life to protect yourself. I mean, that's something we've been preaching for from the beginning of time and the pandemic.

Yeah. Period. It fits for a lot of things, doesn't it? It does. It's not just Omicron related. It's everything related. I'm going to take a quick break and come back with more on this. If you're like me, there's not much that you see that the left is willing to do that surprises you.

It's also not surprising that there are a lot of big businesses out there that's support them because, you know, we know that. This is where these businesses seem to gravitate. They always gravitate to the crazy left wing cause. If you're getting your cell phone coverage through one of the big mobile companies, you're probably paying too much for it, first of all. But more importantly, it's really possible that some of the money you're paying goes to leftist causes like Planned Parenthood. If you like that, okay. And that's, you know, it's your decision. But it's also your decision to switch to Patriot Mobile because Patriot Mobile is, you know, is the only company in America.

It's a Christian conservative mobile company. They have plans to fit any budget. They contribute to causes that are conservative. We're talking constitutional causes, life causes, things that are important to you are important to Patriot Mobile. Go to patriotmobile.com slash Beck.

10 seconds, station ID. All right, Glenn Beck is out. We don't know, by the way, if he has the Omicron. We have no evidence that he has the Omicron. So he could just be sick. I will say that's returned now. Just being sick? Just being sick is a thing again.

Okay. You know, some people have allergies. Some people get colds. Some people get the flu. The flu is back, which is interesting because there was kind of a debate as to what made the flu go away. And I was interested to see how this flu season would play out because there's one side of the argument said, hey, look, the reason the flu went away is because none of us were near each other for a year. We cut down the amount of people we interacted with by, I don't know, 80% for a year. and it dropped through the floor.

And while a more contagious virus like COVID, still survived through that, the flu didn't. And so it kind of went away for a year. The other side of this was, hey, there's something called viral competition where a couple viruses, I mean, you know this. Jeffie is in your body. There's a bunch of viruses constantly fighting out. A bunch of sexually transmitted diseases.

It was battling for a long time. I am aware of that. There's a long stalemate going on inside of Jeffie's body. You know, various drugs, various viruses, bacteria, all sorts of things. And Jeffrey only stays alive because they fought to a stalemate. So eventually, if one of them wins, he's in big trouble. But, you know, you have that competition where a virus like COVID pushes the flu out. Now, obviously, COVID is still very active and we are seeing the flu rise back up.

And we've had a huge change in behavior over the past year. We complain about this a lot, rightfully so. but we have seen a huge change in the way people act, right? People have, they're going out more, they're doing more things. We see a lot of people who are insane on the internet, who are not. But I mean, generally speaking, like, I was in Florida. Now, this is Florida. But I stayed at a hotel that a year ago in Florida was closed, literally closed for New

years. A year ago, I stayed there this past year. You know, we, I went, last year's trip to Florida, they, we, they had no fans inside the stadiums. The Super Bowl only had 11,000 fans in Florida. And Ronda Santas is Florida. Only 11,000 fans. Last Super Bowl, this one's going to be packed in California. I mean, things have changed and they've, they've, you know, people are more aggressive with going out and doing things, which is great.

I think the market is solving this problem. You know, you get people on TV telling you to wear masks to never go outside. but even liberals are sick of it. They want to go to restaurants. They want to go to bars. They want to go to sporting events. They want to go to movies. We'll have more on the details of these studies from South Africa and the UK.

Coming up in just a second. The Glenn Back Program. All right. So it's the new year. And this is the one, right? The year we're all going to stick to whatever we promised ourselves we're going to do. This is it. Yeah.

This is the year. I'm going to supermodel quality for me coming very soon. and you want to talk about it. I'm going to be perfect shape. That's all coming right around the corner. That's something to look forward to. Right. Now, after you throw out the gift card to the gym that you got, there's a resolution you can

Tonight is Glenn's big interview with Donald Trump. You don't want to miss that.

Tonight, BlazTV.com slash Glenn. Welcome to January 6th Eve. Have you put your January 6th tree up yet? Because we've got a new national holiday in this country, at least for half of it, January 6th. The left loves it, loves talking about it, thinks it's the most important thing since the Civil War. It is the day.

Democracy almost died. No, didn't die. They finished everything up that same day. Look, I am not going to make any excuse. is for what happened on January 6th, I think it sucked. And the people who were beating police officers over the head with polls should be in prison.

I have no problem with that. However, what the left has decided to do with this and turn it into this ridiculous national holiday of celebration where they get to say that they've never done anything wrong. There's never been... Certainly they've never shot up a baseball field

full of Republicans. That's never occurred. Ever. Look, insane people in every movement exist. and there were some people who went into the, even went into the capital that were just, you know,

people who maybe made mistakes, maybe, you know, got caught up in a moment. And then there were some people who were, you know, really bad there. And we've seen some of that.

You know, so you can see, look, hitting, you know, I don't care about politics when it comes to beating a police officer over the head. I've had police officers in my family.

And, you know, you think that's the, an appropriate action to take, you know, screw you. I have no, I've no sympathy for someone who's done that.

That being said, what the left has tried to do with this is what has been frustrating over the past year. And we'll have, I think the president is giving the day that democracy almost died speech. And we're going to do. It's going to be, you can quote me on that. Ugh. It's interesting, too, the timing of Glenn's interview with Donald Trump and the release of it. Now, this is something he recorded right before the holidays. And he was in at Mar-a-Lago.

They did the interview. And it was, you know, a lot of interesting stuff. And we played a couple clips right before the holidays. But the interview comes out tonight, 9 p.m. Eastern blazedtivy.com slash Glenn. If you go there tonight, you'll see this. And I want to just give you, I hate to you, you don't want to ruin an interview by giving out too much information. You don't want to, you don't want to give the end to a movie before people get to go see it. Some people.

Don't want to do that. Right. Well, you do. Glenn definitely does. Glenn loves to ruin movies. But let me give you this one little spoiler here. He doesn't ask him about January 6th. What?

And I know the media is going to get all fired up about that. They're going to say, No mention. How did they have the president of the United States on that's airing in the week of January 6th and they didn't even ask about it. No mention about the insurrectionists. Right. And that was a very intentional choice by Glenn.

because he said this on the air before the interview even started. He wants it to be about the future, not the past. And we can go back and rehash every little scandal or back and forth that happened with the media during Trump's presidency. We can do all that. We can talk about, you know, it wouldn't have been crazy for him to ask about January 6th. But everyone is talking about that all the time. And I believe the president, a former president, is going to be making some sort of statement as well about January 6th. I think he was, and he was supposed to, there was some event that he canceled, actually.

So I don't, I mean, obviously he'll probably make a statement. I'm sure. He likes making him. So you may have, and you've heard Donald Trump talk about that a hundred times. What about the issues that are facing us now? You know, it's great, it's a great little window for the left right now to be able to talk about something like January 6th because they don't have to talk about all the days that have occurred since January 20th, which is President Biden. running the country into the ground. And, you know, it's hard,

we're going to get into the election stuff here in a little bit as well, kind of a little look ahead to the midterms. It's hard to win midterm elections when you have a president who isn't incoherent. Like when you have a good president, it's hard to win midterm elections

for your party. What has happened with Biden from everything from Afghanistan to the economy, to inflation, to I'm going to crush this virus, I'm going to end the virus nobody with 220,000 deaths on their toll should be allowed to be president. That's crazy.

Now he's got 420,000 deaths on his register by that logic. He shouldn't be president a couple of times, I guess, when it comes to... Too much I'm okay with, by the way. This is a rule I'm willing to implement right now, at least. So all of this is adding up to a real disaster for them in the midterms. And I was reminded that he also, just another thing that he promised that hasn't happened. yet is he promised to cure cancer. And I want that.

I want that done. I'm just, I'm going to go ahead and demand that. Is it cured yet? Can we check? We make a phone call, will you? It's funny you mentioned that. I'm actually working on something related to that.

We have to get it to that maybe a little bit later. But I want to make sure you know about this 9 p.m. Eastern blazedt.com slash Glenn, the January 6th distraction. Glenn and former President Trump discuss overcoming America's real challenges. Those things that we were talking about, inflation, the economy, how we're going forward. What is the correct message the American people need to hear right now?

It's all going to be on with Glenn and former President Trump tonight on Blee's TV. So we were talking a little bit about the Kron, the Omicron. Omicron. And everything that is going on, it seems like everybody on Earth is sick right now. Yes.

Glenn is out. We don't think it's the Kron, but I don't know if he's been tested yet. And we're going to find him. I guess we'll know that maybe soon. But I know I've had relatives. I've seen businesses closing. And we hit a million cases in a day, which is an all-time high, not only for the United States, but in theory, the world.

Now, that is a ridiculous statistic. Very misleading. Totally misleading because of, like, look, India is not testing at the levels that would allow them to beat that record, right? A place like India with so many more people, surely during their terrible Delta outbreak had way more cases than that. But, you know, officially, we know China as well. Absolutely. And the peak of it, China was still saying, yeah, well, we had one today. Yeah.

Oh, okay. One case. One case. All right. So we know it's not a real record. And we know that number is obviously an undercount as well as far as lots of people are now taking home tests and not reporting them. You can get them. They're a little hard to get.

Yeah. But, you know, people are doing that more than they used to. As well as there's a lot of asymptomatic cases that people don't even know. they have. And that's been something that's gone on since the beginning of the pandemic. But officially the statistic is the highest ever. And it does seem like Omicron is living up to the billing as incredibly easy to pass. Yes. That does seem to be real. We've had a lot of hype over these variants. You know, if you remember the Epsilon variant didn't do anything. No, it did not. Delta lived up to that hype a little bit in one way. And Omicron is living up to the hype in this

in this sort of outbreak right now. I do expect over the next couple of weeks we're going to have ridiculously high case totals. We're going to have probably hospitalizations and deaths rise, but not nearly to the level. If you look at the charts that are happening,

New York was one of the first places where we saw an Omicron outbreak. The line for cases is through the roof. The line for hospitalizations is up slightly. The lines for deaths flat or down. Yeah. So that's the hype on Omicron was it's really easy to pass

and it's maybe a little bit less virulent, a little less awful than the previous variants. That does seem to be holding up to be true. And that's a really good thing. But that doesn't mean, because the numbers are so high, we'll probably still see a rise here over the next few weeks. They believe this whole thing should be over by the end of the month

or at least the end of next month at the latest. And they're talking about new variants now, but, you know, again, these variants might fade out quickly. And they're talking also about, well, I call it Flumacron. It's Flumacron, but it's actually Florona. Fluorna? Yeah. What is flu plus coronavirus?

Getting it at the same time? Or is it the, they've now, like, they're having a family. Like, they've, it's a mixed family. It is. The flu, they met at a bar, the coronavirus and the flu. Hey, had a hook up. You're looking pretty good over there. Yeah.

Ooh, Rona. Why don't you come on over this way? And then we had fluorona. That's how it happens, boys and girls. The birds and the bees in action. So let me give you what we do know, at least the best, as close as we know, for Omicrom. Now, this is, of course, we had earlier outbreaks in South Africa in the UK. So there's been a lot of studies there.

Let me give you some of these quotes. I would say all of this sounds like pretty good news. Overall, that doesn't mean the next couple weeks might be rough, but overall, this seems like good news. to give you the summary. An individual with Omicron is estimated to be between 31 and 45% less likely to attend A&E, which is the British emergency room ER, compared to Delta, and 50 to 70% less likely to be admitted to the hospital. So good news.

Yes, absolutely. When the reduced risk of hospitalization was combined with vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic disease, the vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization was estimated, as I'll give you all the different dose levels. 52% effective with one dose, 72% effective with two doses if it's recent. So two to 24 weeks old, right? So it goes up to 72%.

If it's an older dose, like if you had it, you know, six months ago, it drops down to 52% effective if you've had the full vaccine. With where we're at now, the way that the vaccines are, you know, waning as, you know, 50% still pretty good. It's still something, right? With if you're in a sixth, the eight month window. Yeah. And like, like, there's a lot of, there's some people who, you know, don't want the vaccine,

didn't take the vaccine. And that should be your choice. We've talked about how bad these mandates are over and over and over again. The overwhelming population of the country. Now we're at over 80 some odd percent has had at least one dose of this vaccine. So I think a lot of people, even if they think Fauci's annoying and Biden's annoying, may have already previously had the vaccine. We know President Trump who's on with Glenn tonight has had the vaccine and he's been

boosted. And I thought we were over. I thought we were done with the pandemic of the unvaccinated, but I saw that the president trotted it out the other day. They're still trotting it out, which is like, by the way, with the booster, it's 88%. So, oh, wow. So 52% one dose, 72% with two doses that are recent, 52% with two doses that might have been in the past.

and then 88% on the booster. So that's what the UK study is showing. South Africa showed pretty similar things. These results are consistent with Omicron displacing the Delta variant. So we're already seeing Omicron being the dominant variant here in the United States. Because they were talking about many of the people that were still in the hospital were Delta. Yeah. You know, we're getting the big numbers increasing Omicron.

Yeah. But the hospitalizations while was being linked to Omicron were still Delta. Yeah. That does seem to be a lot of this. And one of the questions was, it doesn't seem like a previous affection with the old school Wuhan strain or the beta virus or either Delta. Any of those doesn't seem like it protected you against Omicron. However, it looks like the reverse is true, which is really good. if you get a mild

Omicron infection, it seems to protect you against the other variants. And that's what the South African study showed. They said these results are consistent with Omicron displacing the Delta variants and it can elicit immunity, which neutralizes Delta, making reinfection with Delta less likely, the team of scientists in Africa wrote.

If Omicron displaces Delta and proves more mild than past variants, the incidence of COVID-19 severe disease would be reduced and the infection may shift to becoming less disruptive to individuals and society. Now, look, we, I think as people on the right, look at this and say, we got to live our lives, we got to figure out how to get through this, and, you know, you're going to have some risk and you can't eliminate all that risk.

You know, if you're a business owner, it's important to you that liberals also come back to your business, right? You would think that. Yeah. Definitely would think so. They might be annoying while they're in your business, but you need their money. So. Yeah, that's funny.

The banks don't ask. No. Did this come from a progressive? Right. No, they just want their money. And if you're owning a, you own a bar, you don't want it to be half-filled. You want people to be in there. And so you need everybody out back in society.

So this is good, even if this lesson doesn't necessarily matter to you. The study found, this is the South African study again, study found that the vaccine from Pfizer and Viantech provided just 33% protection against infection. So it's not doing a great job anymore as protecting you from infection. It's doing something. You know, 33% is compared to someone who's unvaccinated. That's the doubles. That's two shots of the Pfizer.

Yes. I mean, fully vaccinated from the Pfizer. So you're getting some level of protection, though not great protection against the infection. However, the vaccine offers 70% protection in this study being hospitalized with Omicron. So if you put that together with the previous results, they're going to come out about the same because you get about 33% less chance of getting. infected, but if you get infected, you get about a 70% chance of going to the hospital. The bottom line is, this is good. Omicron is going to be rough over the next couple of weeks because it's so infectious and

so many people are going to have it. So a smaller percentage of a big number is still a big number. But once this thing passes, it may give us the type of thing that we've talked about for a long time. Enough immunity to push off the severe disease. and enough of a positive change that we can get back to normal life. All right, AAA 727 BECK is the phone number. Let me tell you about integrity.

When you do business with a company, you expect them to act honestly and fairly. You want the best dealing you can possibly have. So when you talk about refinancing your mortgage, you want to go to American financing. We've talked about them for a while. I've used them on my home and had a great experience with them, whether it's refinancing your mortgage at a lower interest rate, putting together a consolidation loan so you can get out from under your debts quicker and more easily or pretty much any other loan situation. American financing is the place to go.

Call American financing at 8009062440 or go to Americanfinancing.net. It's 8009062440 or Americanfinancing.com. getting hit by Omicron. Glenn is out sick. We don't think it's Omicron. We don't know, Stu. We don't know. I know several people who had COVID previously, who were back in the COVID world because of the Kron.

People, it's going through a lot of people who were vaccinated. Obviously, that's been kind of widely reported. A lot of people who had Omicron previously with natural immunity. They're getting it. People who didn't have it at all. They're getting it. That's what I believe in health, Stu. That's why I work out every day.

Eat healthy. You haven't had, have you had it at all this entire time? No. How the, you're the least healthy person in the world. How on earth are you the one person who's avoided this? Oh, no. I think your body has such immunity built up to everything at this point. Good.

Thank you. The one benefit of being Jeffrey, you've had every illness so many times. Nothing can penetrate. All right, AAA 727, B-E-C-K is the phone number. Back with more in just a... second. Thank you, Hillary. It is Stu and Jeffrey in for Glenn Beck, who is out sick today. It seems like everybody in this office is out sick currently, at least the important people. We're still here, of course. Thank you. Thank you. The worker bees. The worker bees. The

the essential employees, Jeffrey. I think that's probably my main accomplishment in life. From the beginning to the end is going to be I was an essential employee. And I thought to myself, actually, like, what I do is of incredibly low value. Why would I be an essential employee? You don't want to be the guy that has all the keys. You know, I mean, I used to think, that guy's got all the keys. So. Exactly.

So we came to work throughout the entire pandemic. You were out for a minute a little bit. Yeah, I had to stay home for a while. I was mandated, mandated. I will say you are a, you want to talk about vulnerable to COVID. Like, you are COVID's favorite person. and it's looking all over for you. I can get it, my friend.

I'm laughing in the face. I've got to be careful. I know, don't. Not now. Not now. I know. I'm in the Elma Cron room. I know. This is crazy right now.

But everyone seems to have it. And you already have it right now. Just admit it to yourself. It's in there. It's infested. It's doing something in there. We'll get into. We've got some election stuff coming up here in just a second.

Looking forward to the midterms here on the Glenbeck program. It's Stu and Jeff Fisher in for Glenn Beck today. Why he is out sick. He made it through two full days of the new year. But he can't be expected to do more than that. I was impressed he made it today too, honestly. He's got a big interview with Donald Trump, though, that's going to air on Blaze TV tonight. We'll give you a clip of that coming up in a little bit.

Donald Trump asked about Anthony Fauci. A very interesting answer. We've got that. And we've got what is the picture of the midterm election? What is it looking like here as we start really this cycle begins this week as people start thinking, oh my gosh, this is happening. What are we looking forward to here? We'll have a picture for you on that one.

Coming up, AAA 727 B-E-C-K starts in 60 seconds. So you and I know all too well that the time to prepare for bad times is typically during good times. If you can get prepared during the good times, well, guess what? The bad times aren't quite as bad. we are in the middle of God only knows what. I mean, you look at your grocery store shelves. Sometimes they're empty because people can't, don't show up to work. Sometimes they're empty because they can't find people to work.

Sometimes they're empty because of the supply chain. Sometimes they're empty because of a pandemic. It seems like that is something we were dealing with more and more recently. You should be prepared because even the next couple weeks could be rough. and it's important to make sure that you are always prepared for what might happen. That's why my Patriot supply is so important. We've talked about preparedness on this program for such a long time. Their food lasts for 25 years in storage.

So you do this once and you get it out of the way. And it also tastes great. So you don't have to worry about, you know, shoveling sawdust down your throat in an emergency. Wouldn't it be nice if you happen to be, I don't know, on I-95 over the past couple of days. it would it be nice to have some actual food in your car. Maybe, you know, you have a bag of some supplies in your car. It would have been great in that circumstance. I think you're supposed to do that if you're, if you're prepared.

Right now you can say $50 on a four-week emergency food kit, which is the most popular thing my Patriot Supply has. It kind of knocks out all of the most basic emergencies plus, you know, some of the really bad ones. It's not going to stop the zombie apocalypse. But other than that, four weeks should cover you. It's packed with over 2,000 calories a day. that you and your family will be able to maintain a healthy diet even when something disastrous goes down. Every family in America should have some food set aside and my patient supply is the

great place to go to get it. So go to prepare withglen.com. Preparewithglen.com. Say 50 bucks on your four-week food kit. Don't put it off. Preparewithglen.com. It's prepare with glen.com. Tonight on Glenn TV, the far left and mainstream media believe this week's biggest story is the anniversary of the January 6th riot, but there are far more important crises facing the everyday American. Glenn sits down with President Trump in a one-on-one interview to discuss what's coming next. From the economy? When I left, it was $1.87 a gallon to COVID. Can we turn this around? Yeah, quickly. The January 6th distraction, Glenn and President Trump on overcoming America's real challenges. Tonight, 9 p.m. Eastern at blazTV.com. It's a big one. Glenn interviewing President Trump

Mar-a-Lago, the location for that one. So it's going to be pretty interesting. Coming up tonight, it's a big one. And looking forward, it's not talking about January 6th. Talk about going forward, looking forward, what's to come. And we'll get into that in a minute. We're talking about going forward. I mean, he just mentioned in that clip, gas was 187 when he left.

Maybe we should go back to that. Going forward. Yeah. What'd be nice to go. 187. Remember those days? I do. I do remember those days.

That's incredible. It sure is. Yeah. I mean, I remember the beginning. of the pandemic was, I mean, so much cheaper than that, obviously. But I remember in the heat of the pandemic, driving by to come into the studios as an essential employee at the time, how low it was. I mean, it was down into the 140s, I think, or 130s.

I just remember looking going, I got to fill up. Where are you going to go? Yeah, I don't know. No place to go. I will say, you know, a lot of people would say that Donald Trump did a terrible. job through the pandemic. You know, a lot of the, watch the media. They tell you this all the time.

Thank you. He did a terrible job and we needed a real adult to come in and take control. Thank you. And say what needs to be done to solve this problem. We need someone who's going to not shut down the country. We need someone who's going to shut down the virus. Thank you. That's what we needed.

And that's what we got in President C-Nile Joe Biden. Wow. Now, this is, you know, this is why we have a T-shirt not Stu Doesmerch.com called senility now because it would be great to have some senility back in the White House. But I want to give you this because President Biden stepped in yesterday and he wanted to let you know he understands the Kron is here. Omicrona is here. The Fluorona is coming. He's on top of this.

And he wants you to know how. to solve this problem. He's got a great idea and I want you to listen closely to it. In the last two weeks, we've stood up federal testing sites all over the country. We're adding more each and every day. Google, quote, COVID test near me. Go there. Google, excuse me, COVID test near me on Google. Okay. To find the nearest site where you can get a test most often and free. Now, that is great. Why couldn't Donald Trump just have said that in March 2020?

If that, he just would have had the bravery and the mortal sort of turpitude to be able to step in and say, you know what? Let me give you that again, because you may have missed it. Here we go. In the last two you weeks. Weeks. We've stood up federal testing sites. Now, what does that mean exactly? They've stood up.

They've stood them up. I guess they were on the ground. Maybe they blew over in a storm. They stood them back up. The federal testing sites are now stood up. It used to be that if you stood up someone, you didn't show up. That used to be, but that's not the case here. He stood them up.

Now, all you have to do, ladies and gentlemen, is Google, quote, COVID tests near me. Now, what's fascinating about that is he literally did the anchor man thing there, where he saw the, you know, the quote on there. Right. And it just said on the, the prompter says, you know, COVID test near me. And he saw the quote. So he said to the quotation mark.

Of course. Okay. So Google quote COVID tests near me. Go there, Google. Excuse me COVID. Tests near me on Google to find the nearest site. It seems a little wordy. You can get a test most often.

So you get them like, it's like a, you just going in four, five, six times. times a day. Where can you get a test most often? All you got to do is Google, excuse me, COVID test near me on Google. You know, it sounds like that's coming from someone that's never used Google it is a life. Because it doesn't seem like, I mean, that's that big a deal. I mean, I know that the generic, just Google it. Google it. Google COVID test. It's Google. Type in COVID test. It'll come up. where you're at. That's what they do. Yeah, that is what they do. But again, like, everyone who would do that knows how to figure out information on the internet. You Google the thing that you

want. Thank you. This is 2022. Yes. But can you, I want to take you back to 2020 in March. If Donald Trump came up in front of the United States and said, hey, just Google. I don't know. You want to find a test. Google COVID test. No central place to find this information. No, fancy website. I don't know. Google things. What do you want? Google them. Now, the media would have blasted him for that. Absolutely. Saying, oh, you want people to go Google where to find a test? This is disgraceful. We are two years into this. The Biden administration has done a terrible job in providing data on COVID. They've done a terrible job in getting testing going. There were multiple

stupid administration type of things, administrative things that they could have done as far as classification for tests to make them cheaper and more easily available. They didn't do those things. They've waited far too long. They said they were going to end the virus. As we know, that has not occurred. He said we were in the moment of independence back in July.

That has not occurred. This has been a complete and total failure from the main. promise this man made before coming in. Now, he didn't promise he was going to destroy Afghanistan too, but he pulled that one off. He threw that in. He didn't promise he was going to ramp up inflation. Another one. He just throws that one in as a bonus. Yesterday, he's talking about, you know what, meat prices are going through the roof. We don't have that meat price quote by any chance to us. I hope we do. I mean, the guy, come on. I was talking to a friend, no, a friend of a friend of Jill's. We do have it? Okay. Here it is. Here's Joe Biden.

I was just, I was telling my colleagues earlier in my office that I was sitting in my kitchen yesterday and there's a sunroom off the kitchen and my wife was there with her sister and a good friend named Marianne and she was saying, do you realize it's over $5 for a pound of hamburger meat? $5? Well, this is partly, you know, the pound of beef today costs five bucks compared to less and four bucks before the pandemic. Now, first of all, what an amazing storyteller. I was on the edge of my seat

listening to that story unfold. It was almost M. Knight-Sharmelan-esque. That incredible twist at the end where he didn't fall asleep. I was expecting it the whole time and it didn't happen. So that's great. And then, of course,

the solution here is to blame big business, which is what they do on every, issue and always have big businesses they suddenly get greedy when democrats are present you know what i mean they suddenly uh decide they're going to uh exploit the people that's all it's always blaming big business he had him in there right he brought in all the he brought in big meat right it's big meat and big meat is the big is the big problem and like this not that there's obviously more competition is always better but this is a typical democratic response in addition to that uh you have a situation where he is so

disengaged with what is happening in the world. He has no idea that this is not just meat. This isn't just a meat problem. That's part of the problem, but that's not, it's not a meat problem. And we've been talking about this for how long now? And he's just now. Just now. Just realizing.

Ooh, meat. Hamburg. Beef. And solely because he's realizing it's a political problem going into the election. Now, of course, their solution is to spend yet another billion dollars. on this problem to, I don't know, prop up other meat. I don't know what he's even attempting here. It's nonsense.

And of course, his solution to inflation is more spending. Now, this is like saying your solution to a cocaine addiction is more cocaine. I will say that some people may have used that. Substance. In the past. How did it do long term? Was it a long-term solution? Yes, it'll get you through the night,

but it is a long-term solution. It was not a long-term solution. It is not. Nor is spending your way out of inflation. I want to come back and give you one of the reasons he's addressing this. And it's because he's got a calendar. He's got pollsters. He realizes they are in severe trouble heading into this election.

I want to give you this picture, along with a historic picture, of what he's up against here. I mean, usually we're used to sharing bad news on elections here on this program because it just always feels like things go. Sure does. We can't have nice things. But only the Republicans could blow this one this year. If they blow this, they're the only group of people capable of blowing this election. We will give you the details coming up in just a second.

Yesterday, we talked about Glenn's painting of Joe Lewis. and it's really cool. You've got to go to his Instagram page and see it. I hate admitting this, but Glenn seems to be a very talented painter. He has been practicing. It's annoying, though. I don't want him to be talented at anything.

He's already in the Radio Hall of Fame. That's already gone to his head. He's welcome. Yeah, that was us. That was our doing. Thank you. Obviously, we're really the people who made that happen. Now, Glenn used to paint, and he was not all that good at it, partially because he couldn't do it for a long time.

He was in a lot of pain as he was just. trying to paint. Relief Factor was created by doctors to help your body reduce inflammation. And he got his hands on this. Mainly Tanya told him to take it because she was tired of hearing her husband yapping all the time about, you know, Glenn's a whiner. He's right now he's home. I'm like, honey, I've got a stuff he knows. Please come rescue me. Relief factor's not going to cure your stuffy nose, but it can help you with your inflammation. And it's helped Glenn quite a bit. The three-week quick start they have going on. It's developed for you. only 1995, a buck a day.

It's like a trial pack. Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor and about 70% of them go on to order more. It says quite a bit. Go to Relieffactor.com or call them 800 for relief. Get the 1995 three-week quick start developed for you. Right now, relieffactor.com or call them at 800, the number four, relief. Relief factor.

Feel the difference. 10 seconds station ID. It's Stu. Oh, of course, on this radio, program every single day, but also host of Stu Does America. It airs on Blaze TV at 8 p.m. That's going to be right before Glenn's big interview with Donald Trump tonight.

That is 9 p.m. Eastern on blazTV.com slash Glenn. Promoccalc Glenn will save you $10. And I'm here with Jeff Fisher. He's the host of the podcast you can get every day for free called Chewing the Fat. A very interesting name for a very in shape individual. Chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Make sure you listen to that

every day. Yeah, go and subscribe to all the podcasts. We'd really appreciate it. And it helps us push back the sort of big tech algorithm stuff. But even if you don't do all of them. I mean, do chewing the fat. You could do that. That is an option.

I will agree with you. Let's talk about the midterms here. If you are a good, competent, popular, successful president, it is hard to win midterm elections after you've just been elected. That second year, man, is tough for any. Right. Because there's always a group of people who voted for you and then are disappointed. It's almost impossible to keep everybody happy.

You have a president who always goes in to win an election with massive promises. I'm going to end the virus. And then is not able to actually achieve them. Right. So a lot of people say, gosh, you burned me. I'm pissed off and I'm going the other direction. I want to see what these guys can do. So you see this happen over and over again.

That's if you're a good president. What Joe Biden is doing, he's one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history at this time. just tanking every day. We have a new poll out today about how unpopular he is, his economic polling. It's now not just the border, which has been a catastrophe since the beginning. It's not just Afghanistan.

The border is actually, it's funny to think about this. All the stuff we talk about, his least popular issue is the border. It's actually the issue he does most poorly on. But now even the economy. I mean, he's driven through El Paso once in his life.

So he knows all about the border. That is basically his level of knowledge on the border. I know. He doesn't seem, he seems to honestly be, if you were to design a policy strategy, which was designed to make the border into the biggest disaster possible, what would you change? Yeah. I don't know.

I mean, if you, you could say that about his entire presidency so far. Right. Afghanistan. If you, if your goal was to empower terrorists and destroy. destroy the country of Afghanistan, punish the people who helped us, and take every gain that our troops worked for and destroy it. How would you change the policy of Joe Biden? You would not change one iota of the policy.

COVID. I mean, the results are so bad. If you wanted to make it worse, what would you do? Would you just buy crop dusters and fly it over populations and spray COVID? What else would you do? I mean, that's...

They haven't done that. In some states, they've done that. But I've seen the... I've seen the cam trails. I mean, we have monoclonal antibodies that are pretty successful and have worked really well. Now, there's a difference with Omicron, by the way. There's three types of monoclonal antibodies. Two of them, the main two that have been used, do not seem to be working on Omicron at all.

The third one, which is really rare, is the one that seems to be the only one working well against Omicron. So that's been one of the complications with Omicron. But he's made that impossible. And that's early treatment too as well with those with those antibodies. But as you were saying, they've made it almost impossible to get. Almost impossible to get. As if they don't want to allow people to treat themselves.

It was a punishment. It was a punishment. You got COVID because you wouldn't wear your mask or something. So we're going to punish you. We shamed people. It was going to. And we're still shaming people. people for getting COVID. It's incredible. Now you're seeing it turn around a little bit, though,

because Omicron is so infectious that even all the liberals are getting into it, right? So now they have to say, oh, well, I mean, of course you're going to get it. You know, of course, obviously. I mean, even the perfect person is going to get it. But, you know, listen to us next time anyway. I don't think that's going to happen. The inflation situation is out of control. They spent truly, I mean, this wasn't all during Biden, but they spent, what, $9 trillion on COVID. They want to spend another 3.5 on this policy because of a couple of senators we're now down at $1.75 trillion

and negotiating, though they continue to deny the negotiation is going on. But eventually we're going to get more money spent, I believe, this year, unless we really luck out. Oh, we need it. We need us to help the country. The only thing stopping this, Jeffrey, the only thing stopping more

trillions and trillions of dollars from going out the door is the fact that right over the horizon is the election. know these ventures. And they realize there's a lot of, you know, people in purple districts that are terrified as to what will happen. Lots of Democrats are retiring because they're thinking of themselves. Good. This is, I'm not going to win anyway. Why bother? Why take the big L on my forehead when I don't have to? I can just retire and go away now. We'll get into the details coming up in just a

second. It's AAA 727 Beck. Stu and Jeffie in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. It is hard to take a look at your tax returns every year and not get angry about how much of your money the government is taking out. For everybody, I think it gets harder and harder to look at the inflation going around all around us and realize that they're just taking that much more away by devaluing the U.S. dollar. That is a hidden tax. It's not one you think about all the time, but it is there. If you've been thinking about how to protect yourself from rising inflation and the devaluation of the U.S. dollar, it is time to give Goldline a call. You can do it today. Gold and silver are the time-tested hedge against inflation and the sort of economic insanity

we've been seeing constantly right now. And as everybody knows, we're going to face more of this craziness going forward.

It's Donald Trump talking about the future with Glenn Beck from Mar-a-Lago. We'll give you some cool behind-the-scenes stuff on that here in a little bit. I'm excited for it. It's going to be really great. I'm here with Jeff Fisher, who's helping me out today. He's, of course, from Chew in the Fat, the podcast available everywhere. your podcast or buy your podcasts.

And in fact, it's a federal mandate. You have to subscribe to it. Wow, I didn't know that. That's straight from Fauci. So make sure you do that, of course, today. I want to, if Glenn is home, sometimes he'll tune into the show and see what we're talking about. And because he's not feeling well today,

we don't think it's the coronavirus. We don't think it's COVID. But we don't, I don't know. I haven't seen his test results. And if he's looking for a way to solve this, I want to give him this once again from our president. How do you solve the situation you're in? If you happen to be one of the millions of people who have the rona,

that have the flu rona, that have the flumocrine, that have the Omicron, whatever you happen to have, here's how you deal with that. Joe Biden. We've stood up federal testing sites all over the country. Right. We're adding more each and every day. That's excellent.

Google, quote, COVID test near me. Go there. Google, excuse me, COVID test near me on Google to find the nearest site where you can get a test most often and free. I like to test as often as possible. About 42 times a day I will test. Yeah, I just stopped by. Yeah. I think it's a bad idea for the American people right now to get out of line.

So what I do is I pull in in my car, I get tested. I just pull right around and come right back in again. Yeah. And I get that they're setting up new sites. And so, you know, there's going to be different sites around that you might not know of. But if you are a person that uses, I don't know, search engines, Google. Yeah. You know how to Google something.

But I will tell you, in the last two you weeks, we have stood up federal testing sites. just Google quote COVID test near me go there Google excuse me COVID tests near me on Google to find the nearest site. That seems a little bit long, sir. Yeah, that sounds a little bit. And also not English. It doesn't sound like he's using English. Okay, so we talked about this a little bit here in the previous break. You start out with bad expectations going into a midterm election.

No matter who's president. No matter who's president. How good you've been, times are good, times are bad. I mean, if times are good, it's still tough. It's still tough. Well, times aren't good. And Joe Biden has not done a good job. His popularity is through the floor.

This is just out CNBC and Change Research Poll, 1895 respondents between December 17th and December 20th showed 56% disapproval rate of the president on the economy. 56%. Now, he tried to come out yesterday and say, We added more jobs than any president ever in his first year, which is so insulting. So intellectually insulting. Do you think people didn't remember we had a pandemic going on? We were at the very base of the economy a year previous. And he's like, well, we're bouncing back.

I mean, it's just ridiculous. Like Donald Trump could say the same thing, right? Like he had millions and millions and millions of jobs added from March 2020. Well, that was a once in a lifetime situation. situation. So it's insane to act as if this economy is in good shape. It isn't. Everybody knows it isn't. Everybody realizes we are having all sorts of trouble. So factor that in. Factor in Afghanistan. Factor in the inflation. Factor in the border. Factor in the failure of the agenda of the president, the things that he promised. Factor in the fact that he has not shut down the virus.

factor all of this stuff in He's not competent. He's not competent. He can't speak. He falls asleep in the middle of sentences. He sees squirrels running by in front of him that aren't there. All of these things factor into a very poor outlook for the president and his party. So if you go back in history, you see, then we'll go back to 1946 here.

This is every midterm election since 1946. Well, times we're looking up a little bit in 46. Democratic president in 1946. In 1946, they lost 53 seats. 1950, Democratic President lost 27 seats. 1954 Republican President lost 16 seats. 1958, Republican President lost 47 seats. 1962, Democratic President lost four seats.

Now, by the way, four would be enough to swing the House, I believe. Is it four or five? It's right there. So they would have to, just that, which is by far the best result we've gone through so far. would be enough to give the Republicans the House. 1966, Democratic President, 47 seats loss. 1970, Republican President, nine seats lost. 74 Republican President, minus 43 seats.

1978, Democratic President, minus 11 seats. This is not partisan. So far, every single result I've given you. Only minus 11, though. Minus 11. That's Carter? Right. Then you have 1982, Reagan President,

minus 27 seats. And remember, this is a successful presidency. 1986. Now, this is the peak Reagan revolution. We've had Morning in America. Everything's going fantastic. They still lost five seats. Reagan, a good president in the best of times, minus five.

Yeah, I mean, was that, I mean, that was the election he won by a landslide two years before then. Yeah, in 84. Yeah. I mean, that was the Morning in America election. on a complete landslide. 1990, Republican president, minus nine. So far, pretty much every single one of these would be enough to turn it to the Republicans in 2022.

1994, of course. This is the Gingrich contract with America year. Democratic president, Bill Clinton, minus 52 seats. Now, here is the hope. Bill was busy. Yeah. Here's the hope for Democrats. 1998, Bill Clinton, of course, wins re-election in 96, thanks to a kind of a three-party split.

He comes in in 1998 and gains five seats. Wow. Now, there's a couple things there. Five seats is the best result we've seen so far, but also comes off one of the worst results we've seen. So you lose 52 seats, the previous midterm. Gaining four. Gaining a few back is not that big of a deal. But it is, at least it's better than most elections go.

Then 2002, there, Republican president, George W. Bush, they gain six seats. That's post-9-11, though. So you have a country at war. Red, white and blue, America. Exactly. I mean, this is a, this is, if you remember, of course, after 9-11, George Bush hits, what, George W. Bush hits 93% approval rating at one point. It had come down a little bit by that election, but the Democrats had no chance in that election.

Then 2006, Bush still president, minus 30. 2010, Barack Obama comes in. And while he comes in on the most united and wonderful president of all time, the greatest speaker of all time. Now, he was not a historically popular president throughout his presidency. However, he's more popular than we've seen since. I mean, both Trump and Biden have far lower approval ratings than Obama did at this time. 2010 comes in. It's the Tea Party wave, minus 63.

The biggest wave election in a century. Minus 63 seats. 2014, after he gets reelected, he loses another 13 seats. And then Donald Trump gets elected in 2016 as a Republican president and goes on in 2018 to lose 40 seats. Now, some of these presidents were possible. popular. Some of them were not. But with the exception of the uh, the middle of the dot com boom and with Bill Clinton, after following a massive loss in the previous midterm, they gained a few seats and the post

9-11 election. Every single midterm election since 1946 has been enough if they just replicate it to turn the House to the Republicans. It is almost impossible to fail here. Only the Republican Party could dream up a scheme to blow this. You have a historically unpopular president. You have a historic election where you're coming off of COVID. These are historic times. These are historic times.

Oh, my gosh. The devastation, really, that has happened since President Biden has taken office has been incredible. Yes. I don't know how you, honestly, I don't know how he fights back from that. And clearly, look, January 6th would be a thing that the Democrats would try to exploit no matter when it happened. Talking about the day democracy almost died? Yes. Okay.

I'm talking about that day, which, by the way, prepare for the annoyance. Tomorrow's the anniversary. It's going to be torture. Overwhelming. But like, they would have tried to use that anyway, of course. But they are looking at this as their only chance to salvage a bad loss. Like, they are expecting the loss is coming anyway. They know the loss is coming.

They realize they are in massive trouble here going into November. Can the Republicans blow it? Yes, they can. Can there be a crazy series of events? You know, you never know if there's a. God forbid a terrorist attack or something terrible that changes the entire vibe of the country. Absolutely possible. But you see, even with all of the historic events we've seen, very rarely has that even happened.

The 9-11 attacks only change it to five or six seats for George W. Bush. And when you go back and you talk about, well, wait a minute, you say, you know, Biden is unpopular. Is that true? He's less popular than Harry Truman at this point. He's less popular than Dwight Eisenhower at this point. He's less popular in John F. Kennedy. He's less popular than Lyndon Johnson. He's less popular than Richard Nixon.

He's less popular than Gerald Ford. He's less popular than Jimmy Carter. He's less popular than George H.W. Bush. He's less popular than George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. He's less popular than Barack Obama. The only person, the only president in history that he's slightly above in approval rating is Donald Trump. Wow.

And that is, uh, you know, I don't know, four points. Now Trump, of course, he can get there.

What's that? He can get there. He can drop below. Oh yeah. He's, he's chasing Trump. Now Trump had a lower approval rating. He's obviously a divisive figure.

We all know that. He had a lower approval rating, but a very consistent approval rating in low 40s, pretty much throughout his entire presidency. Didn't drop or rise very much at all. And Biden is just on this like roller coaster ride down. And it's, It's not looking good.

So combine history with how bad the president is doing and compared to other presidents, we will be looking at a massive wave election if and only if the Republicans don't blow it. Well, let's turn this thing around then. Let's don't blow it. I mean, it's just that simple. Don't blow it. They're good at blowing it. All you have to do is Google.

All you have to do is, thank you, Jeffrey. All you have to do to solve the problem. And this is, you know, the last two you. weeks. They have stood up these federal testing sites. All you have to do is Google quote, COVID tests near me go there, Google. Excuse me, COVID test near me on Google to find the nearest site where you can get a test

most often. And it's just that simple. Back in a second. This is just, it's honestly comical. All right. So Glenn Beck is out today. Maybe he's starting a new company. Now, he's started companies before. He has. The blaze, he was obviously there for that. Mercury Radio Arts,

the parent company of this particular program, and real estate agents I trust. Real estate agents, itrust.com is a website. Glenn created many years ago now because he thought, hey, I've noticed that I get really crappy real estate agents all the time, and I would like to get a good one occasionally.

And it's funny because we really, you're talking about the most important financial transaction you'll probably ever make in your life, buying or selling a home. They're huge investments. And the market is going crazy right now. And people don't spend any time trying to figure out if one real estate agent is better than the other. A lot of people just pick whatever agent happens to be representing the house they're looking at.

Maybe look at an ad on a bench. You know, this is not the way to pick someone to manage the most important transaction of your financial life. Real estate agents I trust.com. They go through the screening process for you to find the best agent in your area. Name kind of says it all. real estate agents.itrust.com. Go there now, check it out. Real estate agents,

I trust.com. This is the Glenn Beck program. It's Stu and Jeffrey in for Glenn Beck here on the Glenn Beck program. He's sick. Hopefully he'll be back tomorrow. He will be here for his big interview with Donald Trump, luckily because he pre-taped it. So it's going to be on tonight.

Don't miss it. BlazTV.com slash Glenn promo code is Glenn. We're going to have clips of that and some behind the scene stuff coming up here in just a minute. I want to talk about a little bit about what happened on I-95. over the last couple of days. Scary. Scary. It's unbelievable that this can happen in a civilization in 2022.

But basically, a lot of snow came down, roads got icy, and no one could move. Right. An Amtrak train got stranded in Virginia for 40 hours without food. Of course, they went through and they, you know, they raided the snack bar and that lasted like a day. Oh, hello, yeah. Toilets overflowing, really nasty. Oh, no, baby. Senator Tim Kane finally got to D.C.

Took him 27 hours to drive there. They basically said they couldn't preach treat the roads because it was raining and that would wash everything away. So they didn't do that. And then the roads got terrible. People couldn't move. People started abandoning their cars. So then no one can move because the cars. Those cars are blocking the way.

Right. And it gets out of control. Took him 27 hours to get there. Some of the fun things that happened, though, happened on social. media. Now, if you're freezing in your car, you didn't appreciate this maybe as much as I did. But first of all, Kamala Harris, she tweeted, tweeted this. Because of bipartisan infrastructure law, America is moving again. That's what infrastructure is all about getting people moving in the middle of this crisis. Now, I'm sure it was like a pre-planned tweet. Still, though. But she's just,

she is face into wall. She just walks. Every time. It's unbelievable how. How bad she is at this. She continually just walks into wall, wall after wall after wall. And I love this one as well. The social media went crazy and said, look at this. This is what happens in Virginia. This is what happens when you elect Glenn Yonkin.

He doesn't actually become governor until January 15th. So I don't think you can blame Yon although they tried. We're going to. They should have done something. All right. I have clips of Donald Trump

Talking about Anthony Fauci. That's coming up in just a minute. This is the Glenn Back program. Thank you so much, Hillary. Appreciate it. 8-727 back is our phone number. Glenn is out sick today. We hope he's back tomorrow unless he's sick.

And then I don't want him back tomorrow because I get nothing out of you showing up when you're sick. Stop acting like you're brave. I don't want to get sick too. I feel like that's changed. Back of the day, you used to fight yourself and struggle and feel proud about yourself. going in when you were sick. I can struggle through it. I've come in here every day.

Yeah. I think that really was... I think you were actually the first person, the first person I could remember going, stay home. Yeah. Get away. Now, that might have been just because it was me.

It was partially that. Now that I think about it, so never mind. No, but I do think I was early on this part of the COVID thing. Oh, I will say this. There's a bunch of the COVID stuff that I like. Six feet away from each other. I don't need to get six feet close to anybody. Except maybe my wife.

And she's not really into that. I'm into it. She's not. You know, shaking hands. I don't really need to shake your hand. You know what? I don't want to bump your fist or your elbow either. I'm going to say, hey.

The daily hug, though. I don't want to talk. I've never wanted to. You are pretty huggable, though. Jeffrey is pretty hugable. All right, we're going to come back here. We've got some behind-the-scenes stuff on the Trump interview, as well as Donald Trump on Anthony Fauci with Glenn here in a second.

It is Stu Bergier of the Glenn Beck program as well as Stu Does America here. today with Jeff Fisher from Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher, the podcast. Make sure you subscribe to both on whatever podcast platform you listen to. Glenn is out sick today. We don't know if it's the fluurona or the flu... What is it? Flumacron. Flumacron.

We don't know which one it is. But we will hopefully have him back tomorrow. Big interview tonight, though. Glenn Beck talking to Donald Trump at Mara Lago. He taped it right before the holidays. That's going to air tonight on Blaze TV. BlazTV.com slash Glenn. Promocode is Glenn.

It'll save you $10. It's coming up at 9 p.m. Eastern. We're going to give you a preview of that and some behind the scenes in just a second. So what are the things in life that you love doing but can't do any more because of pain? Playing maybe a few rounds of golf, maybe playing with your kids or grandkids,

opening up a jar, lots of things. Bending over? very difficult to do. You bending over to tie your shoes? Who wants to do that anymore? No one? No one. That's why I got the slip on shoes, baby. I don't care if I look a thousand years old. I'm not bending down to tie those things anymore. That's why you got the wife.

Oh, there you go. The wife tie your shoes. Really? Lucky you. Lucky you and lucky her. Let me tell you about relief factor. It was created by doctors to help your body reduce inflammation, the major source of most pain. It's got four key ingredients that each work together with your body as it fights against the effects of aging, exercise.

in everyday living. Glenn is a big relief factor fan and it's helped change his life. The three-week quick start they have is developed for you only 1995, a dollar a day. It's like a trial pack. Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor and about 70% of them go on to order more. It says quite a bit. Relieffactor.com is a place to go to get it or call 800 for relief. 800 for relief. Get the 1995 three-week quick start developed for you. Again, it's Relieffactor.com or call 800 the number four relief. Relief factor. Feel the difference. Well, Donald Trump, former president and Melania Trump, the former First Lady, got a terrible Christmas present this past December as Glenn Beck came to town. And no one wants that to happen.

Thank you. A terrible punishment for both Donald and Melania. But they were very gracious hosts. And we're going to get into what it was like behind the scenes here in just a second. But I want to give you this clip. This is from the interview tonight, airs at 9 p.m. Eastern on Blaze TV, BlazeTV.com slash Glenn, right after a brand new stew does America. Don't miss it. 9 p.m. Eastern is the interview. It's going to be, they go through really everything. And Glenn was very specific about this interview and what he wanted to do with it. You know, Donald Trump talks to a lot of people. And, you know, he has, he's only done a couple of interviews with Glenn.

Glenn, I believe, interviewed him long before he was into politics back in the day. Of course, Glenn has been doing radio since 1744. So he's had an opportunity to do that. But since he was president, obviously, they didn't agree a lot early on in the presidency. And there wasn't, there weren't any interviews there. We talked to Don Jr. a bunch of times. But this was his second interview with Donald Trump since he's really entered back into politics. We had him on the phone once.

And they had talked behind the scenes several times over the years. but this was really kind of an opportunity to look into the future. Every interview that the mainstream media wants to do with Donald Trump is going to be about January 6th. The day democracy almost died. Thank you. I like how you have the title built in. This is what they want. They want a national holiday.

I honestly, I feel I don't even like calling it January 6th. The day democracy almost died. I don't like doing that because it gives them what they want. They want it to be January 6th. The day democracy almost died. You want to call it the QAnon riots. You want to come up with another name for it. I'd much rather like, I like that a lot more than calling it the date.

Because what they wanted to be is September 11th, where everyone talks about it every year. Like it's this big morbid anniversary. I don't think that's a great idea to call it January 6th. The day, democracy almost died. The drama really is lost with the word almost, isn't it? I mean, we were like, the day the plane almost hit the building. It's near miss. Yeah, it's just not the same.

Okay, here is Donald Trump and Glenn Beck talking. And one of the questions Glenn did want to ask him about how we should go forward in the future is what do you do with Anthony Fauci? We know he's going to do 472 interviews per day. We know that's going to occur. But what else would you do with Anthony Fauci? And what was the relationship like? Here is Glenn talking to former President Trump. I think when this was coming out of China,

it was perfectly reasonable to shut everything down because we didn't know. They were welding people into their homes in China. We had no idea, and they weren't being open with it. And by the way, they weld them in and they never opened. And that was the end of them. Fauci, I wanted to give, I want to give everybody the benefit of the doubt in those early days.

We have done a ton of research. I did one of the biggest chalkboards I think I've ever done. They were using federal government money to do... Wuhan. Yeah, in Wuhan. I stopped it. I was the one that stopped it. You did, but I don't think Fauci cared about that.

Fauci's now claiming he's science. Did you ever... Would he still be working for you today? No, not now, but he's a great promoter. He's not a great doctor, but he's not a great doctor, but he's a great promoter. But you have to understand everything he wanted I didn't do. As an example, he wanted to keep it open to China.

He ultimately was wrong about that and admitted it and admitted that I saved tens of thousands of lives. He wanted to keep it open. I saw what was happening in Italy and France and Spain. And I closed it to Europe very early. You know, in China, it was January. I closed it. And in Europe, it was shortly thereafter.

We saved thousands and thousands of lives. He wanted to do that. And then his big one of them all is the masks are useless. They don't mean anything. And then all of a sudden, he wants you to wear 10 masks. You know, wear as many as you can't put it all over, cover your ears, do everything. So I didn't really do much of what he said. And he wasn't a big factor for me, in a sense, because of that.

This is, this is, I mean, look, first of all, very funny. I miss cover your ears with 10 masks. I miss them. Now, it's a little bit of a, maybe I'll show you a little bit of a different picture here. Do we have the clip of Joe Biden talking about Google? Because this is what a real president sounds like. In the last two weeks,

we've stood up federal testing sites all over the country. Okay. We're adding more each and every day. That's good to hear. Google. Google. Quote, COVID test near me. Go there.

Google. Go to Google. Excuse me. COVID test near me on Google. Where do I go? To find the. nearest site where you can get a test most often and free. Yeah, we'll get them most often and free.

I mean. I mean, you want to talk about, wow, the competence level is incredibly high. But so, you know, he's talking about Fauci, and I think it's interesting. His, his answer on Fauci seems to basically be, Fauci was liked by the media. He had his value, but we didn't really listen to him behind the scenes. So he gets into that a little bit more tonight. he gets into talking about Russia, Vladimir Putin, inflation, all the big topics that you want to think about as we go into a midterm election. Glenn talks to the president about and looks forward, not back, not talking about January 6th, like everybody else is going to be doing this week.

The day, democracy almost died. Now I'm not going to be able to hear that date without your stupid subtitle. We bring in Jason Butchrell, who's on this trip with Glenn. He was in the room for much of this. He got on the plane. He went to Maralago, met everybody there. It's got to be a wild experience to go to Mara Lago. And after he's been president in the United States to meet Donald, Melania, the family.

What a bizarre experience. It's not what you would think it would be. It's not exactly what I thought it was going to be. Like, if you think you would go to, like, the Obama's, you know, house or whatever. Unlike Martha's Vineyard. Yeah, right. Like, what would that be like? you would think that it would just be a bunch of people, you know, sniffing their own farts and

just telling each other how awesome they are, which I still think that's how it would be if you'd go to the Obama's. You know, there'd be this air of, I'm better than you or something like that. And I feel like nobody's there, right? It's just at the Obama's house, you've got Barack, you got Michelle, maybe a couple people. But like, it's not a, there's not a ton of people around. I feel like they're going to that place to isolate, basically. That's not what Trump is doing. No, not at all. Like, I actually, I kind of thought more like, I kind of thought more was a hotel. It's not a hotel. I guess it's more like a club. There's only like a handful of guest rooms there. So it really is like, you know, President Trump's house slash office and a few

influential people or friends will come by and there's members of the club or whatever. But I mean, I remember straight off the bat, we went into this like a very like beautiful ballroom to do the interview in and we're setting up. And all of a sudden, Don Jr. just walks in the room. And we're like, what? Exactly. It was like that. He's like, hey, what's up guys? You know, He didn't say dudes, but that's kind of how it felt. Yeah, yeah. Just walked in, very casual, just started, you know, like, you know, chewing the fat with all of us in there. And I was, just from that, I was like, that's kind of surreal, right?

I mean, just the president's son who's also very, very out in the open, you know, in the public. Sure. Just rolls in and starts talking with everybody, chilling. And Trump comes in to do the interview. And it was kind of the same thing. You know, there was some secret. You knew movements were happening because of Secret Service. They just came in and started talking, you know, it was like, whatever.

Very laid back. Very laid back. This is where he's most comfortable, right? I mean, this is his environment. It's not an act at all, which is like, you know, they teach you like in political science in college, you know, about the, you know, you got to hook those hands, you know, and pretend like you're one of the, he's literally like one of those guys, albeit with a little bit more money than the rest of those guys.

A tad. But a little bit. But he is one of those guys. It is interesting. I mean, that's the way he's gotten things done this whole life. Yeah. Being that guy. Yeah.

He is the least likely. to relate to the every man. Like if you would predict who would be the least likely to understand how normal people live, it would be Donald Trump, right? The guy, his dad was wealthy. He grew up incredibly wealthy. His entire brand was, I live a life that you don't live.

Right. That was really his brand throughout the 80s and 90s and going into the apprentice. And as the apprentice, in the apprentice, he's the boss. He's telling people that they're fired all the time. That's not normally a path to the presidency. Yeah. But he has, there's something about Donald Trump that relates to people. Well, I mean, he's the guy that you would expect, you know, even though he's, you know, been sitting in his gold chair, you know, up on the 116 floor.

He's going to come down and stand in the mud and shake your hand and talk to you about the day. Right. I mean, he definitely has the golden chair. You know, he has all the luxuries and all that stuff. But the problem is, like, so he doesn't, he doesn't see you as lesser because you're not also sitting in a golden chair. Right. And you think that, I mean, that's really the rise of him was just him listening. Yeah.

And that's what we saw in that room before the interview. He'll listen to you. Yes. Like I won't talk about, you know, the private conversations that we were having. Of course. But he was, you know, he would ask questions and he looked like he cared about your response to them. He does. And if you look, if you look back at his presidency and the people that he would argue with was the press.

It wasn't the American people. Yeah. When he was out on the road, he listened to the American people. He didn't confront them. As opposed to like a Joe Biden. that's saying I'll fight you for it. Like a huge difference there. And the result was, you know, we finally had someone that talking about issues that people had,

like the border. Like no one even wanted to address the border. I mean, he's probably not president if it wasn't for his strong stance on the border. But he made it because he was talking to people. He was listening. The craziest thing, though, guys, was after the interview. So we had heard this before that sometimes he'll invite people to come and eat dinner, you know, if they, if, you know, media comes and,

you know, does an interview with him. So he invited us all to stay there for dinner. And I'm not talking about just Glenn, you know, or just his EP or whatever. The crew and everybody. He was like, hey, come on in. Come, come eat. And so he was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're just walking up there now. I think this happens every night there.

So you get this feeling that this is, you're in his house, right? Yeah. And there is this like kind of courtyard in Marlago. It's, you know, it's open air. It's always beautiful and, you know, it's just nice out there. But everyone goes, everyone's, sitting there. It's not a restaurant. So like they don't flip the tables and make room for somebody else after someone else eats. It's set once. You go there and eat and then you leave, right?

And like they don't prepare it for anyone else again. But he like, so he goes at, we sit at our table. We look over to the left like a table and a half away. The former president of the United States, his wife and a couple friends are just sitting right there. Like within earshot, you can hear everything they're saying. I mean literally like two table and a half away. You look over. It was the most surreal thing ever. But that wasn't the most surreal thing. So, God, you pass me some pepper. Yeah, it's literally, it was, so that, if you ever get a chance to do this, it's literally like if you're at a large family gathering, right, a large family gathering on Thanksgiving

and dad or some, you know, grandpa sitting over there at the other table. And he wants to get up and be like, oh, hey, I just thought of this thing. I wanted to come tell you guys. So he walks over to, you know, our table. He was doing that all night. Really? He walked to our table like twice. Hey, guys, what's up? Hey, I just thought of this one thing. It was the most, and he, that's, if you were a people's president, that right there is the template. It was like crazy cool. And that's just how he is. And he does that with

people every night. It's interesting. And as a broadcaster, one of the things you want to do is relate to your audience and give them new information they can use. So if you happen to ever be in this situation where you're dining with Donald and Melania Trump, you now know how to handle the situation thanks to Jason. There you go.

Now you know. I'm here for you. What is like? That's how you go. We'll take a quick break. Come back with more because I want to ask you little bit more about where they went in this interview and the types of the types of things we're going to hear from the media this week, which are going to be excruciating. The interview airs tonight. It's blazedt.com slash glen at 9 p.m. Eastern right after a brand new stew does America. All right. If you have kids or grandkids, it's probably not lost on you that you have a finite

amount of time, which you have basically to help shape them. into an adult that's going to be a good person, useful to society, the opposite of Jeffie, there's only so many, you only have a limited amount of time to make sure your kid doesn't grow up to be Jeffie. And that's important. If you want to make sure that they understand the principles of this country, a great place to go is the Tuttle Twins books. I have these for my kids. I got them the whole set. These are books that will tell you, they teach you.

They teach your kids and have them understanding concepts about America, the foundations of America that we consider to be so important. And it's why we show up here and talk every day. And why do we want to do this again? So they don't turn it to Jeff. Oh, yeah, that's right. I never mind. I forget. And these books, though, don't, they don't preach.

They don't talk down to your kids. They give them interesting stories and entertaining stories. That happened to also, you know, carry important messages and things they need to know. They're fun and entertaining and simultaneously they teach about freedom, economics, American history, a lot more. So if you have kids, if you have grandkids, you need to help them because our country needs the help. We need good people, non-Jephys in the future.

Jason Butchell joins us as well. And I know that Jason was there for the Donald Trump interview that's airing tonight on Blaze TV, Glenn, interviewing the former president and Donald Trump. and we of course, you know, care about what the president said. What did you have for dinner? Oh, yeah. This is a great question. How did you guys eat?

I almost like I'm going to get in trouble for answering this. I almost feel like I'm going to get in trouble for answering this. Was it human meat? Is the president serving human flesh at Mar-a-Lago? I knew it. I've been watching MSNBC, and that's exactly what they said was happening. I hope they're not listening right now because I'm totally going to get an email. But so there was a ton of good stuff on the menu, right?

A lot of luxurious stuff. So there wasn't a menu. There is a menu. Yeah. No prices, but there was a menu. And a ton of stuff. Steaks, a bunch of good-looking stuff. But the president personally stopped by the table again and was like, oh, you guys have got to have this something chop steak in the same style as some New York eatery.

Okay. Which apparently is very famous. And he said a couple of other things. Well, the president, and it's his house, like recommend something. You'd pretty much just get it. You're probably going to get that. You're going to go for. Sure.

So I got it thinking it. I think it said chop steak. I got it. Not thinking about it. it was literally like hamburger meat, right? That's what it is. Yeah, that's what Chopstick is.

That's not what I was expecting. And then I was looking at the menu again. I was like, I got hamburger meat. And then there was prime rib right next to it. I know, with that hamburger meat with the white gravy and the mix,

the chop from New York is probably what he, I mean, that's good. It's like, but I mean, it's hamburger meat, right? It's just really, really,

you're just an elitist TV person. That's another thing. He's not an elitist eater, right? He just has like normal stuff. Well, he famously brought in, you know, was it Clemson with the McDonald's films? Right, right, right, right. And that's the thing I kind of, one of the things I like about Trump and I think why it's been relatable, why he's able to relate to the every guy is that he, at some point someone called him, you know, yeah, the elite, like Donald Trump. And he said, yeah, like, I want to be elite.

Like, what's wrong with being elite? Like, and I think that's what every single person on earth, of course, strives to, would you like to live in their life of ability. of a billionaire, of course. You don't necessarily get there. You don't want to adopt the attitudes and the weirdness of some of these people. But hey, we'd all like to achieve more. And he's willing to kind of admit

that that's where everybody wants to be. Yeah. And honestly, I will tell you, if I was a billionaire, I'd still be eating freaking French fries. That's what I would be doing. Right? Wouldn't you?

I don't think I would be eating all fancy food all this. You're going to start eating escargo because you're rich? Nope, I'm staying with the healthy food I'm eating, right? now. I don't think you're the person to give dietary advice to this country. Jeffrey, I don't think that's advisable. It's 9 p.m. Eastern. Don't miss this interview. Blase TV.com slash Glenn.

that I never would have believed five years ago. It's funny because these things happen so fast a lot of times we miss them. My first reaction would be only 13. Only 13. It's got to be more than that. Let me give you this list. Tell me if these are surprising to you, Jeffie. Would you have been able to believe these five years ago?

Five years ago. Not that long ago. I mean, you're going back 2017. Okay. Men as women. The trend that would have most shocked my grandparents is transgenderism. Men are now competing with women in women's sports, being housed with women in prison. I will say, that one does surprise me enough.

Now, we knew this stuff was coming in 2017. But the fact that, like, half the country is saying, yeah, that guy should be in the women's swimming. Pretty amazing. That's incredible. Yes, it is. And women's prison? Like, how can you be putting... I mean, that's a genius move. Let's be honest.

If you're going to prison. Really? Yes. Oh, my gosh. You just say you're... If you're going to prison. Yep, I'm a woman. Got to go there. I mean, that's genius. It's a lot better than what I've heard happens

in the other side of the prison. If you have the opportunity, you know, if you're going to prison and you're giving the opportunity of going to the men's prison or going to the women's prison. Sure there are some, I guess, you know, the argument is going to be, well, there's transgenderism and they belong there for sure. Okay. Okay.

Not necessarily the women aren't necessarily okay with it, but I know what you're saying. But as a man that would be going to prison. Why wouldn't you? I mean, honestly, in all seriousness, why wouldn't you say it? Correct. Why wouldn't you say, you know what, yes, I'm a woman. You've got to put me in the women's side. I belong over there.

Why wouldn't you say it? I don't know. I don't know. That's what I'm saying. That's a genius move if they allow it. And I will say this. If you're in the right state, they basically cannot legally question it. Right.

Because you've said it. You've said it. All you have to do to be a woman is say you're a woman. Once you're on the women side of the prison, I mean, I think, you know, a lot of people would go to the creepy element. of that, which there are many. But also, you know, just to avoid the horror show that is the men's side of the prison with fights and worse.

And I know that, you know, look, prison, whether it's men or female, you know, prison ain't fun. You can quote me on that. Wow. Prison ain't fun. You're getting real. I know. Real wisdom from Jeffrey today. All right.

Number two on this list of the 13 things that would surprise. anyone five years ago. Blocking puberty. Parents now enabling young children to change genders with dangerous surgeries and puberty blockers. It's hard to believe that parents would go along with us. It is. And is it as prevalent

as we think it is. I mean, if it's making this list, I don't but I don't think that it necessarily makes the list. I don't know that we're... It's not, look, it's not a super, super common thing that's happening that we never would have believed five years ago. Yeah, okay.

I am surprised at how many Americans, even those on the left, that are willing to deny their own children's gender and allow them to do terrible things to themselves. That is surprising to me. Now, it's not the majority, I don't think, of even the left, but it's a lot of people. It's far too many. Drafting women. The United States narrowly avoided a draft for women, which was supported by many elected officials in even the conservative party. I don't think that was ever going to happen, though, really. And it didn't happen, so I guess we wouldn't, that one, I don't know if I'd qualify.

I feel like it gets, every, every, you know, I don't know, every few years it gets brought up again. Yeah, but it is growing and it seems, and it is, it's very strange to hear an argument that the side that is pro women is the side to get women shot in combat, to get them drafted against their will to go to war. You know, look, chivalry is mostly dead, but I did think we had a little. strain of it left. But, you know, if we choose, hey, if you've, you know, if you decided that you're going to go to prison and you were a man when you were sentenced, but you've decided to go to a women's prison, you know, okay, maybe you can go in the Army too. Go ahead.

Get out of it. You can go fight. There you go. How about not prosecuting crime is the next one on the list? There's not a surprising trend. I think that one is surprising as well. And what's interesting about at least these first four is I think there's a real movement against these things.

There was the defund the police thing, but even Democratic cities are stepping up and saying, wait a minute, no, I don't want this. They're already fighting back against that. They've already decided, you know what, no. No. Let's not do that. This is not going to work.

We're seeing the results of it. I don't want this. You know, liberals want to go to restaurants. Everybody wants to be able to pull into a 7-Eleven and get their slurpy and get their gas and go home. And not get shot. Thank you. Right?

And when you're offending not only the conservatives who don't like these ideas generally, but you're going so far in such an insane way that you're hurting tons of moderates and even liberals. How about massive illegal immigration? Would you believe that five years ago? I may have believed that one. I mean, the Democrats have been trying to do that for a long time. And it was happening anyway. Even under Trump, I mean, we had massive amounts of people crossing the border.

Obviously, Trump was trying to do something about it, which is unlike. some other presidents, but that's been going on for a long time and is continuing and getting worse. The catastrophe sort of situations on the border maybe are worse than you'd think, but the amount of people crossing it is not incredibly shocking to me. How about widespread censorship? I mean, if you would have said five years ago, the president of the United States will be banned from all social media. No way. I would not have believed it. I would not have either. Because I still kind of don't actually. Yeah.

What are you talking about? Because, you know, it's one thing to ban, you know, Alex Jones, right? And Alex Jones, we argued against Alex Jones being banned, even though I don't agree with most of his, you know, his theories. But like, we, we agree he shouldn't be silenced. No way. But like the, the social media companies have a real out with public figures. They have an out from all responsibility because we should know what the president of the United States is thinking. We should know what the former president of the United States is thinking.

The country needs to know that, even if what he's saying is completely wrong and irresponsible and racist or worse, no matter what it is. I don't think, you know, world leaders of any sort should be banned from these social media apps, including people like, you know, from Iran. Because I don't think they are. And that's what's amazing. They're not. But the argument to me is not they should be banned too. it should be people like the president, you know, Congresswomen,

all these people should not be better. I want to know what they're saying. I want to know. Shouldn't, why should that be hidden? And you know, honestly, like one of the things

that I think the left really misunderstood when they did the Trump thing was that Trump caused a lot of problems for himself on Twitter. Now, he also had a lot of positives.

But a lot of even his most ardent supporters will say, oh, I love the guy, but I wish he'd stop doing that, right. They've taken that away from him. You know, all of the, whatever mistakes Trump may have made on Twitter over the past couple years

have it occurred. I know. Which is interesting and probably really positive for Trump's re-election hopes. It certainly is positive for people like me who see him talking to Glenn Beck and looking forward to his interview tonight with Glenn Beck on Blaze TV thinking, I miss him.

Yeah. And I think there's tons of people in that same boat. Just saying like, good. I mean, look at, Biden is like falling asleep in the middle of sentences where at least trump had energy a lot of people didn't like him but it's hard to it's hard to argue that joe biden has done a good job here i i don't even think the left is attempting it they're not sitting here going like actually this has been great they they'll say actually you know what's worse don't trump they'll say that but they won't even defend him that Biden is doing a good job they can't i mean they can't number seven on this list

of 13 happenings in 2021 that I would have never seen coming five years ago. Parents labeled terrorists. Parents were labeled domestic terrorists by the Biden Justice Department for showing up at school board meetings with complaints. That's a pretty bad one.

That is a pretty bad one. And that's been proven that parents were labeled that and it's ugly. President's mental abilities doubted President Biden. How we've been doing that? I will say...

I've been doing that. Every president... Yeah. Really, every president that I can remember outside of Barack Obama and maybe Bill Clinton. I mean, Democrats usually have a pass on this. Maybe the proper wording of this is a Democrats'

president's mental abilities doubt it. I mean, they were worried about Reagan, right? Reagan, George H. George W. Bush. Oh, the guys, every time he flubbed a speech, they would make a story for two weeks. People writing entire books about how dumb George Bush was because he'd flub a word.

What happened to that? Well, usually a Democrat has a complete pass. They're smart. They're the intelligent one. With Biden, they don't even argue that. Well, I mean, they can't. It's so bad. We could play an hour off the top of our head clips we'd have to just ask for of Joe Biden screwing up.

Oh, my gosh. You going, no? We started a montage during the election of like, let's just get all of his flubs and just keep stringing him together. And it'll be funny because it'll get longer, longer. We just gave up. It got so long. We couldn't even play it on the air. It was just, it was like 12 minutes long of just Joe Biden's scumption.

screwing things up. And eventually you just run out of time on the show. Next up on this list, 13 happenings in 2021 that I never saw happening five years ago. Asking athletes for advice. I like this one a lot. I don't know that I wouldn't have seen that coming five years ago

because it was brewing. But it's much, much worse now. And the way I would identify this is something like Colin Kaepernick or LeBron James. And it's one of the reasons why, I know a lot of people in the audience have turned against. sports particularly last year and boycotted them. Of course, my team, Philadelphia Eagles,

going to the playoffs, I cannot do such a thing. They could all, they could all be members of ISIS and I would still watch them because I love them. As a matter of fact, I think they are. It's very possible. However, what I will say is this is one of the reasons why I don't boycott sports, because I don't go to idiot athletes for their opinions on politics. I don't care what Colin Kaepernick says because Colin Kaepernick is a buffoon. He's an idiot. He's an idiot. Find athletics and people's day-to-day lives so much, it's agonizing. Yeah. I mean, every, no matter who they are, you know, the coach, what's his name on the, the coach of the spurs is always coming out.

Oh, yeah. What's his face? Popovich, Kerr, these coaches, they're buffoons. I mean, look, they can have all sorts of ridiculous left-wing ideology. Just coach your team. Yeah, well, let me why. But even if you come out every single day and say nonsensical, idiotic, political opinions, the bottom line is I don't care about them and I don't have to listen to them.

And, you know, when there's one idiot taking a knee on a field next to 52 other players who aren't, am I going to, you know, boycott something that I enjoy and punish all those other players that aren't taking a knee? Maybe they have their hand over their heart looking at the flag. You got people up in the stands, you know, work in the stands. that's their job. I'm not going to boycott those people because one moron takes a knee. It just doesn't have enough influence over me.

So I like that one. Anyway, that's a partial list and you can check it out on the Federalist here. And we'll give you maybe a couple more. There's another great list about technology that has developed. Maybe we'll have time for that here

in just a second as well. AAA 727. Beck is the phone number. It's Stu and Jeffie in for Glenn. I'm a dog owner. I love dogs. Man's best friend? Sure. I'm for it.

Glenn has a dog, Uno, who's basically part of the family. And I think we all have those relationships with our dog. We love them. I have President Miles who he, the reason we call him President Miles is he's 17 years old. And he's a pug. And he walks very slowly. He does not get out of bed very early. You know, he sleeps from like 8 p.m. to 2 p.m.

That's a good gig. And then he wakes up, goes to the bathroom, eats, and goes back to bed. That's again, I repeat. That's a good gig. And he's awake more than President Biden. That's why we call him President Miles. He's awesome. But I will say he moves around a lot faster.

We were saying he's got the zoomies going on right now. He's moving around pretty quick lately. And I think part of that is Rough Greens. Rough Greens is fantastic. It's a way. It's a supplement you add to the food. It'll help your dog get all the vitamins and nutrients that they need. Not from like a dead dog food that's been on the shelf for six years.

Welcome to the program, AAA 727 back. one last reminder, Glenn and President Donald Trump on the air tonight, blazedtiv.com slash Glenn. Promocode is Glenn. It's an interview you don't want to miss. So I was going through a list. We just did the 13 happenings in 2021 that would never, you wouldn't have believed five years ago. But it got me thinking about the list that the things that weren't around 20 years ago. Okay.

So for the last 20 years, you've gotten used to using your iPhone, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Bitcoin, Tesla, Slack, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Pinterest. Those are just some of the things. Skype, Spotify, Uber. Those are just some of the things on the list that have not been around for more than 20 years. Jeez. All those things now are either central parts of people's, you know, entertainment life or work life. Right.

And I mean, it's just a, you think about Netflix, you know, Amazon. on Prime, those things. I mean, those are big parts of people's lives. Yeah, and some of them, I think, are good. A lot of them, a lot of them not. Really? You know, I think the TikTok thing is a good one, obviously, because I've been wanting to give the Chinese Communist Party as much information about myself as possible. I know, and when you go down and what happens with the app is just incredible, and we've given up. Yeah, it doesn't matter. There was a push there at one point, you know, we can't do it, We can't do it.

And then the next thing, eh. It is amazing. Because that was the push from President Trump. Yeah. You know, he talked about ban. And now, it's hard for a president to ban an app. I mean, it was never, I don't know that we ever had a chance of doing it that way. But at least he had an attitude to say, hey, wait a minute, we should be alerted to this.

And now it's the number one app out there. No care. He's beaten Facebook and Instagram and everything. And I watch it. And every once in a while, I'll watch a TikTok video. I'm not a member, but I do. do catch them from, you know, my wife mainly most of the time. And I watch them and it's some woman dancing or lip-sinking or...

And I think... I'm now dumber than I was just seconds ago. But you could be making those. I could be. I could be doing that. I will not be doing that, but I could be doing that. We'll see you tomorrow. Glenn Beck program with Jeffie and Stu.

Check out the interview tonight with Donald Trump. The Glenn Beck Program.
