Hello America and welcome to Tuesday.
So glad that you're here today.
We've got a lot to discuss.
Let me just get this out because I know you have a lot of fans in the audience, fans of Ravi Zacharias.
He passed away yesterday last night from cancer.
He had been struggling and was in great, great pain.
He is with the Lord today.
Amen and hallelujah.
We have a lot of good news to share with you.
And I think we're going to start New Jersey, but there are sheriffs now starting to step up.
We've told you for years.
Sheriffs are the key to your liberty.
Sheriffs are stepping up.
But we also have a mayor in California who's going to be joining us today who has made his city a sanctuary city.
A sanctuary for businesses.
You got to love this.
That's coming up also something you really need to watch for.
and it is everywhere.
It is
the new normal.
We'll explain.
And yes, spooky boo,
these involved.
We do that in one minute.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
So I am really glad to hear this.
The housing market is on fire right now,
and I don't mean like burning itself down to the ground.
A little ray of sunshine right now.
This could be it.
It shows signs now.
the housing market, that it is stable and actually doing well in some areas.
I'm guessing that if I was selling my house in California,
you've got to believe it's going to go well for me, huh?
No, I don't think so.
I really don't think so.
Here's the thing.
We have Democrats and their policies largely to thank for the housing market doing well.
Wait a minute. Yeah, that's because people are moving from these oppressive states.
And they're moving to warmer states for one thing.
And the warmth is being provided by something we like to call the Bill of Rights.
Yeah, but California said the bill of rights on fire.
And we're like a warm from that.

Hey, I have to just play this audio
because it was,
you know, I'd like to say
sometimes there's victory in the small things,
but this is not a small thing.
This is happening in New Jersey.
A cop showed up to a gym
that was opening its doors
against the governor's order and the cop showed up.
And everybody in the crowd started to say,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You know, you don't have a, let me quote,
you have the right to refuse unconstitutional orders.
Freedom.
Good to see Mel Gibson was there.
You swore to protect our rights.
That's when the cop put his hand up like, listen, listen to me.
Please, don't say anymore.
Don't say anything.
You're going to feel really bad when you're here.
Just listen to me.
And here's what he said.
Speaker peace, and don't worry about it.
We are and we're only here for everybody's safety today.
We plan for the worst, hope for the best,
and it seems like that's what we have out here today.
It's the best.
Normally, you are all in violation of the executive order.
On that note, on that note, have a good day.
Everybody be safe.
I ought to love these cops.
You know what I wanted in this moment?
I wanted Al Michaels to say,
do you believe in miracles?
I mean, it was that moment.
And with that, have a nice day.
I mean, it was that moment last night where America came roaring back.
And they're not alone.
Let me give you this one.
This was posted by the sheriff of the second most densely populated county in Illinois.
He says the governor has trampled on his First Amendment rights.
Now, listen to this.
This is what he posted on Facebook.
I feel that my own First Amendment constitutional right to free speech has been completely trampled on by a governor who has threatened my office's reimbursement and grant funds as a tool to force me not to speak.
I just can't do it anymore.
I stand with our citizens and our businesses of DuPage County who have offered no trouble nor any resistance to any rule we have put upon them, no matter how strange.
In fact, they have communally helped support us during this pandemic with resources and physical help.
Law enforcement officers are not stormtroopers.
We are peacekeepers.
We can reopen responsibly and with proper care.
We're not just going to open with no precautions, but science suggests a potentially different route.
Did we all say from the beginning that we would follow science to the correct end?
this is not the time to introduce
fear into our society by
threatening Class A misdemeanors
but instead it's time to assist our citizens
and businesses to get back on their feet
I feel DuPage County is ready to reopen
responsibly before everything is gone
and I will not victimize
lawful residents of DuPage County
trying to put food on their children's table
Amen
do you believe in miracles
yes
Yes.
Now, I want to take you and shift gears here and show you something called the degrowth movement.
The degrowth movement is actually a flashback back to the late 60s and early 70s.
All right, man, time of dope smoking and free love.
Yeah.
And that's probably all you're going to be able to do if this degrowth movement actually takes flight.
Now, yes, Spooky Dude does have a role in this.
Spooky Dude said some spooky things overseas that nobody seems to be caring about.
But I wanted to bring you the news of Spooky Dude today.
But first, let me tell you what the growth movement is.
This is a movement that believes that man has destroyed the planet.
It's all about climate change.
And the only way to save the planet is for the entire.
world to stop working.
The agenda is to shut down industrial production and industries like fossil fuels,
automobiles, airlines, anything that will contribute to global warming.
COVID-19 and the economy lockdown is now seen as a useful trial run.
I want to give you something that this, you know, when I just told you about the cop up in New Jersey,
let me tell you something that the the owner of that gym said after the cop left he was giving an interview and he said we're opening or we're reopening early to fight for our rights the government has failed at protecting our rights and is failing at protecting our health um he said what we're proposing is an organized peaceful reopening of the state not just our business now listen to this we truly believe if we don't do this in the end we will have zero rights
and no say in what happens.
I believe him to be a profit of our time.
Yes, a muscle head, a profit of our time.
He is right.
If we don't, they are measuring us.
Now, not everybody.
No, but everybody in the government is doing this.
But the left and the degrowth movement is they are measuring us to see how much they can get away with.
Now, a professor at the University of Tasmania, who knew that was a real thing.
real place beyond the Bugs Bunny world said we can draw many lessons and opportunities.
Listen to this.
We can draw many lessons and opportunities from the current health crisis when tackling planetary
warming.
So they are measuring.
A former high-ranking climate advisor to Obama, Jason Bordoff, wrote in foreign policy,
quote, COVID-19 may deliver some short-term climate benefits by curbing energy use or
even long-term benefits if economic stimulus is linked to climate goals.
But he adds the benefits from the pandemic in terms of less carbon emissions are likely to be
fleeting and negligible.
So the, I want to give you, I want to tell you degrowth as defined by the proponents,
a political, economic, and social movement based on ecological economics, anti-consumerism
and anti-capitalism.
So we are looking to, we're looking at people that want to destroy capitalism, consumerism.
So you know, consumerism out of control, everything out of control too far one way or the other, or the other is bad.
All right.
It's all bad.
Too much aspirin for a headache will kill you.
Too much of anything or not enough of something will also kill you.
Capitalism has its problems.
consumerism has its problems, but without it, we die.
The philosophy started in the 1960s and 70s and was really discredited.
It was the people that said, you know, oh, we're not going to be able to keep up with the food.
There's not enough land on planet Earth to grow enough food.
How's that working out for you?
We'll all be dead by 1977.
Really?
Because I seem, you know, this death thing.
pretty good because apparently I've been dead since 77 and it feels great.
So let me give you some of the things that you're seeing now and I need you to tie them in to
the degrowth movement. You need to understand these are not just offshoots, just one-offs.
Here's Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She deleted a tweet celebrating crash in oil prices.
She said, quote, you absolutely love to see it. Do you? Do you know. Do you know,
what drilling for oil has done?
Do you know that we wouldn't have any plastics?
We wouldn't have many of our pharmaceuticals.
We wouldn't have many of our foods.
We wouldn't have rubber.
It goes on and on and on.
The oil for sewing machines.
Where are we going to start going for whale blubber again?
Petrochemicals are essential to a civilized way of life.
Now, when you come up with something to replace it,
I'm all for it.
But right now, petrochemicals are critical.
If we lose petrochemicals, if we lose oil, you lose your way of life.
Greta Thurnberg, the elementary school dropout said that she is really excited because there's a new way forward.
CNN has interviewed the experts who say the lockdown just isn't enough.
we have to keep doing this and even more for the next 30 years if we're going to bend the curve of greenhouse gases and climate change.
So we have to do this and more.
Robert Redford has come out with his son and said this scourge of COVID-19 has revealed that we can change the world.
There's all kinds of articles.
I'm going to post all of this.
I think we're going to probably do a special on this.
but I just want to go through some of the audio that you are going to be hearing more and more.
Here's Joe Biden on coronavirus as an opportunity.
Listen.
We have an opportunity now to take in a recovery act, a real recovery.
We can fundamentally change the science relating to global warming.
Wow, we can fundamentally change the science related to global warming.
If he wasn't senile, I would pay.
counts on that. But what he's saying is we can fundamentally now change America, fundamentally transform
America in the world. Here's CNN saying the coronavirus was caused not by China, but by something else.
Listen to this. And there seems to be this perception that maybe the virus has helped humanity
buy some time when it comes to global warming. What's wrong with that assumption?
We'd have to keep doing this even more and do it for the next 30 years.
years to really begin to bend the curve on the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Virologist for years tried to warn us that an invisible enemy would come out of the jungles
if we just kept cutting all of them down and they were right.
So if any good can come of this, Allison, maybe it's an understanding that the climate
ologists are warning about.
Stop.
Can you just, can you just, did you hear that?
It's not China.
It's not as cool collecting bats or anything else.
It's the Amazon.
We cut down too many trees in the Amazon.
And that's what caused the coronavirus.
Here's Chris Hayes on restructuring for climate change.
They're talking about reopening now, and they've announced this ambitious scheme to reduce the car use after lockdown.
I thought was interesting.
They're going to have 22 miles of streets that are going to be transformed over the summer.
They're going to try to do cycling and walking expansion.
They want people sort of not in cars and not in public transport as much as possible.
And it struck me as like a small example of the ways that people might be thinking about how to restructure our kind of lived world as, as we,
reemerge from the virus.
We have more audio.
This is everywhere, and it's not an isolated incident.
This is a coordinated plan.
You see that Bill de Blasio just took more streets,
miles of streets in New York City and making them into carless streets.
You saw this happen now in London, has just done it.
There are several cities all around the world that are now saying,
you know what, we're just going to make this into a walking street.
because of the coronavirus to help with the social distancing.
What?
That doesn't even make sense.
There are those that are putting in these draconian rules to, one, gauge you on how far they can get away with it.
And two, to be able to fundamentally transform the entire world because of climate change.
That is all gobbledygook to say this.
The free market is under a.
attack. And if I may quote the profit of the gym in New Jersey, if you don't stand now,
they are gauging you. If you don't stand now, you may not have any rights when they actually
say, okay, you can go back to work now. More in just a second, including spooky dude in one
minute. Yes. So let me talk to you about life lock.
you need to lock yourself down.
I mean, not in the way the government is thinking about doing it.
I mean, locking your life, your identity down.
And life lock can help you do that.
We now have about from the International Crime Complaint Center,
this is from the FBI,
they get about 1,000 complaints per day before the pandemic.
They now are getting about 4,000.
complaints a day.
They're all coronavirus schemes.
They're all things like,
we can sell you protective equipment.
All these kinds of scams that are saying that they're going to get you a government
check and fraudulent COVID charities, which, by the way,
we have a breaking story at the top of next hour on Elon Omar on a COVID bogus charity
thing that she did.
That's unbelievable.
Will she go to jail?
I don't know.
You need to ask yourself, who's protecting you?
Who is protecting you from these things?
Well, the answer should be you.
You have partnered with LifeLock.

10 seconds, station ID.
So you have to ask yourself, why is it?
that everybody is getting bailouts and everybody else is getting special favors, et cetera, et cetera.
And Elon Musk can open up, even though he had a really pound for it, but he can open up.
But the average person can't.
Why is it that the average person is not getting relief for small businesses when 80% of all new jobs created in the last great recession?
80% of those jobs came from small businesses.
Small business is the backbone.
small business is the American dream.
You don't have to go to work for some giant corporation that would take your idea and run with it.
You can start yourself.
That's, I believe, the reason why you're not really getting the help and nobody cares about the small business man.
I think Donald Trump, I think there are a lot of people that do actually care, but there is a great force mainly in the media and on the left that just doesn't care about the small business person.
And they are essential if the American way of life is going to continue.
You have to keep them busy.
You know, I told you yesterday there was an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal about how there's two groups.
There's the group of elites that are saying, oh, it might be, it might be 14 years before we can find a cure.
And that's fine.
Let's just keep everything closed.
And those who are saying, no, I'm hungry.
I've got to feed my kids.
It'll have food on the table.
And that's the rub.
The people, quite honestly, like me, I'm not impacted like probably most of the audiences.
It's easier for me because I can do my business from home.
Nothing's really been disrupted.
We've had some economic issues, but it's not like losing my business.
So what do we do?
What do we do?
Well, it's easy for me to sit here and go, you know,
I think for the public safety.
But that's disregarding everything that's really happening.
Not only are you out of touch and too self-contained if you don't see the plight of others.
But there might be something else that's going on.
You might actually think that it is easier to control people if they don't have control of small businesses.
Because a lot of these big industries, they're all in with the left.
They'll do whatever they have to do and they're fine.
so let's just have everybody be a cog in the wheel
well the thing that sets us apart from the Soviet Union and every other
communist country has been the little guy can start his own do his own thing and
be successful the glenbeck program spooky dude coming up in just the moment
all right let me tell you about our sponsor it's relief factor here's here's a great example
here's a father and son Pete and Seth Talbot they are really really super religious and they
they really believe in making the world a better place and they believe that all of their
companies should put back in to society and so they're not looking to get rich they were
looking for ways to be able to do good due to a lot of missionary work and and everything else
and when capitalism is at its best it looks for things
that are a problem in society.
And the capitalist says,
how can I make people's lives better and easier?
Well, they knew a lot about pain.
And so they got together with doctors,
and they came up with something called Relief Factor.
70% of the people who try it
will go on to order more after the three-week trial period
because they feel better.
It works.
It works for me.
Has for two years.
Please try it.

Welcome to the program.
I want to give you a little bit here of Spooky Dude.
Pat is joining us now from Pat Gray on Leash,
the podcast that you can get wherever podcasts are heard,
and you can hear him live prior to this program,
only on Blaze Radio Network.
So I want to bring you in, Pat, as we're talking about George Soros,
there was a new interview where George Soros was talking to the independent,
which is in London.
And I just want you to hear this.
We've been talking about the degrowth movement that is happening and the plans from the left to use the coronavirus to measure how we react,
how much they can get away with, and then try to shape all of our governmental responses to be able to
create the society and the the governmental structure that they would need to be able to bring in
all of their climate change nonsense. So George Soros says, you've seen many crises before. This is
according to the interview. You've seen a lot of crisis before. Is the Corona-19 pandemic
comparable to any previous one? Now, remember, George Soros, the big crisis in his life would be,
What, Pat?
Just off the top of your head.
Let's see.
The Holocaust?
Yeah, his family was hunted by the Nazis and he had to go live under a fake name with another family.
I mean, you want to talk about crisis.
He says, no, this is the crisis of my lifetime.
Not even before the pandemic hit, I realized we were in revolutionary moment where what would be impossible
or even inconceivable in normal times
have become not only possible,
but probably absolutely necessary.
When the corona COVID-19
disrupted people's lives
and required very different behavior,
it was an unprecedented event
that probably has never occurred in this combination.
And it endangers the survival of our civilization.
And he goes on to say,
we have never seen anything quite like this pandemic.
He says, we're not going to go back.
we won't go back to where we were when pandemic started. That is certain. But that is only
thing that is certain. Everything else is up for grabs. Everything else is up for grabs.
I don't think anyone knows how capitalism will evolve. At the present time, people are dominated by
fear, and fear often makes people hurt themselves. That is true of individuals as well as institutions,
nations, and humanity itself. The continuing conflict between the U.S. and China complicates
matters. We ought to work together on climate change and developing a vaccine against COVID-19.
So now you know his priorities in this are working on climate change and a vaccine.
This is why people are now like, we're not bending the curve. We can't go back until we have a
vaccine because they need this time to work on climate change. He says the fact is we are not working
together because we're competing over who will develop and use the vaccine.
The fact that we have two very distant different systems of government, democratic and
this, imagine, he can't come up with the right word for communist.
So the interviewer says, uh, autocratic.
Yes.
That makes things much harder.
Um, he then says that, you know, um, president, uh, when he abolished term limits and
named himself president for life. He destroyed the political future of one of the most important
and ambitious men. And he was in a very narrow and competitive elite group, and he destroyed
himself. Now, President Trump would like to be a dictator, but he cannot be one because there's
a constitution in the United States and the people still respect. And we have to prevent him
from doing certain things. That doesn't mean he won't try, because he's literally fighting.
for his life.
Wait a minute.
He just makes the state...
Yeah.
Made a statement of some sort there.
We lost Glenn here from the feed.
Wow.
During a George Soros discussion.
Well, we've been saying forever...
Say he's a dictator when he's doing absolutely everything in the opposite.
Well, you apparently, George Soros hacked into your feed there.
So we lost you for about 30 seconds, Glenn.
Yeah.
But we expected this from a long time ago.
Are you there?
Are you there?
You can hear me?
Yeah, I don't know.
You can maybe bring Glenn down here for a second as we're there.
where we tend to be losing him for a moment so we can get that connected.
It is interesting to see, you know, here's a guy who is wildly, you know,
irresponsible with the way he's acted over a very long period of time.
And, you know, this is the fear, I think, of a lot of people who occasionally jump to maybe even the improper conclusions about, you know, every little move that happens in government.
When you see that there are people like this who look at these things as something to take advantage of,
you have to be able to be skeptical.
And, you know, it leads to people jumping even further down that road sometimes.
Spooky dude.
Yes, exactly.
Spooky dude.
He's back.
All right.
So where did you lose me?
Where did you lose me?
Where I was talking about what he said about Donald Trump?
Yes.
Yes.
Right in there.
Okay.
So he said that Donald Trump would like to be dictator, but he cannot be one because there's
a constitution in the United States and people still respect it.
and it will prevent him from doing certain things.
That does not mean he won't try because he's fighting for his life.
Let me just say this.
It is incredible to me that the media and the left have accused Donald Trump of being a dictator over and over and over again.
They encouraged him to make this a federal thing.
And everybody says because they want that power.
Absolutely true.
But also because they wanted to paint him as a dictator.
Look, because he didn't do it.
The Democrats are the ones who are doing it.
Now, there are two exceptions to that.
One of them is in Maryland that's a Republican.
But for the most part, all of these actions are being taken by Democrats who want the autocratic rule.
Donald Trump is doing the exact opposite of the dictator dance.
So George Soros says, I have proposed the EU should issue perpetual bonds.
He's got all kinds of things that are going on.
he says, listen, I'm not pessimistic at all. Far from it. I recognize Europe is facing several
dangers and not a figure of speech. That is reality. He goes on to talk about all of the different
things that are happening, but this is not normal time. It's actually an ideal time right now to
be able to change the world and to be able to have an open society. I warn you that these people
are doing things, all of this stuff about the second second stimulus package, they've had time to
catch their breath. When Donald Trump did it, it was let's go. Let's put people to work. Let's give
people money. It was flawed because we rushed to it. We don't have to rush anymore. Do not allow
panic to play a role. Do not allow fear to play a role. They're counting on your fear. And it's really,
it's sick on what's going on.
But if we don't stand now,
we may not have any liberty left.
Let me switch to topics.
Pat, can you please explain
what the hell the problem is
with Donald Trump taking hydroxychloroquine?
I don't think there is a problem.
And here's a guy who believes in it.
And we know he believes in it
because he's talked about it multiple times.
So he's kind of putting his money where his mouth is.
and he's taking it, doing exactly what he said would help people from the beginning?
And if he's taking hydroxychloroquine, you can take just that by itself and it's fine.
It's a drug that has been around forever.
There's no heart palpitations or anything else.
It's just, if you're taking it just that drug.
If you mix it with a Z-pack, it becomes dangerous and you should be monitored with your heart.
He's taking it with zinc, which is not as dangerous.
but there are doctors at the White House all the time.
If there was a magic potion and everybody was like, this is ridiculous.
They're saying it's a magic potion, but you had seen some people take that magic potion
and it helped them.
If it's the president of the United States and there's no downside for him taking it,
it's a magic potion that has been in use for another magical disease for a long time,
I think everyone would say the president should take that as a prophylactic drug
because there's no harm in taking it.
Why is this such a big deal?
The president should be kept safe.
And they're saying Nancy Pelosi, for the call of that woman to come out and say he's morbidly obese
is just, it's so childish what's going on.
Yeah, it's ugly.
And I think it's an amazing, I think it's an amazing testament to what he's been
saying all along, although I didn't know about hydroxychloroquine that it was preventative,
that you could prevent getting...
They think it might.
They think it might be.
These are all just, you know, nothing has been scientifically proven, but hydroxychloroquine
is by itself is not a dangerous drug.
It is, it's like Prozac.
It's been out forever.
Yes, there are some people that take it and it.
it, but it's been out forever and ever and ever, or lithium.
It's been out forever.
And people can take it without real side effects.
Yeah, that's why I say about heroin all the time.
It's been out forever.
You know, people know the effects of it.
They understand how it works.
That's why I take it every day.
Three times a day.
Well, four times a morning.
You know what?
Let me use that.
Let me use that.
If let's say this thing only caused debilitating pain,
and there was a way that,
what is the
oxycodone
if oxycodone had a way
to get you so you weren't in pain
and it wouldn't allow you to develop
this disease that would cause debilitating pain
as long even with the side effects of that
as long as the president were taking it
with a doctor who's practically
living at the White House right now
they are checking him and everyone around him
him all the time.
If that worked, I would say
the president should be taking oxycodone.
Not enough to impair
his vision, but if it was a preventative
thing and the doctors were there
the whole time, take it,
Mr. President. It might
work. Yeah. And especially
when... He's the president. I would be saying this about
Barack Obama as well. He should be
taking anything that we know
is relatively safe that
might keep him out of trouble.
Especially when his valet
has the virus
and so do people
close to Mike Pence.
So obviously they've been around people.
They've been subjected to the disease.
If this can maybe keep them from getting it,
go for it.
And frankly, like if you are on heroin,
you're not going to even notice COVID-19.
It's probably true.
I don't know if it cures it, but you don't even.
You might get it, but you won't care.
Amen, thank you.
You won't care.
Amen. Thank you.
By the way, did you see the president or vice president Biden
came out with a,
a nickname.
Oh, he's so good.
He is so good.
He came out with a nickname for Donald Trump,
and he said he's really been resisting giving President Trump a nickname,
but he's changed his mind.
And he said, listen, this is insane.
Why have they failed to get this money out to the folks who desperately needed to stay afloat?
Is it incompetence?
Corruption?
Trump was out there tweeting again this morning.
I called him President Tweety.
He calls him President Tweety.
Stop, stop, President Tweety!
Like Tweety Bird.
Except he sees because he's tweeting.
Oh, man.
Oh, boy.
And then, and then...
Also, close your window, so we don't hear the geese behind you the whole time.
Yeah.
And then the geese are really nasty animals.
Yes, they are.
Yes, they are.
As those as Gestapo myself.
Anyway, Biden then said an interview.
Trump is a master at laying nicknames on people.
I can hardly wait to get on stage with Donald Trump.
Oh, man, he's going to be so good with things like President Tweedy.
Oh, he's going to slay him.
What ridiculous.

If you were to guess on average how many days people in the U.S.
have to wait to see a doctor, what would you say?
A week, maybe, maybe a little longer during the lockdown.
On average, some people can wait up to 29 days to see a doctor in major U.S. cities,
basically a month.
If you're dealing with a condition like ED or hair loss or cold sores or anything
you don't want to talk about with anybody, you don't want to wait a month.
You want treatment ASAP.

Americans are fighting back.
A lot of people are calling to say, how do we help you?
I say, open your business.
Every officer stood up for what they believed.
It'd be a non-issue.
I'd close my shop the day they come in here with handcuffs or Jesus comes, one or the other.

Tomorrow night, 9 p.m. Eastern at blaishtiv.com.
Hey, welcome to the program.
It's Tuesday.
We're glad you're here.
I want to talk to you a little bit about something that's coming up after the top of the hour.
We've got a couple of really great things for you.
We have one of the mayors in California that is bucking the system and said,
I'm going to do a sanctuary city.
And it's for safety of all businesses, sanctuary city for business in California.
I just love this.
So many great things are happening.
We also have another breaking story that's just being posted on the blaze now from David
Steinberg. He is the guy who has been chasing the Elon Omar story for a couple of years now. He's got a
story on COVID. She apparently posted a fundraiser that she partnered with Minnesota Food Share.
And she said, chip in $5 to keep these community fed. Well, unfortunately,
the $5, the donations
were going to her re-election campaign.
The food share
executive director said
Elon Omar has nothing to do with this project.
I don't know where this money is going to.
It became a big scandal
and will tell you the end of it
coming up.
This is the Glenn.
Where do we all turn when things fall apart?
Well, if you're like me, you lean on things
that stand the test of time, your closest
friends, your family, or a chair.
movie that re-inspires. The classics are made to last, and that's why we turn to them in good
times and bad. I have one of those beloved things in my life. It's my Tocovus Cowboy Boots. At Tocovus,
they don't see themselves as just makers of quality boots and Western goods. They believe that a
good pair of boots can change the way people feel about themselves. Now, why is that? Why is it
something that you put on your feet can change the way you feel inside? Because the boots are a
manifestation of things at last, boots that can weather the storm and walk comfort.

This is the Glymbeck program.
Let me tell you a little bit about Rect-TEC, our, uh, our, uh, our, uh,
sponsor for the spotlight and makes many of this broadcast, much of this broadcast on the Blaze
possible.
Rectec grills.
This is a grill built by grillers for grillers using smart technology with an optic controller.
It's unrivaled, precise temperature control.
This thing is absolutely amazing.
Every time you open it up to check anything, it checks the temperature, raises the heat to
make sure that the temperature goes right back.
to where it needs to be.
There's no fuss on this.
This is the gold standard of pellet grilling.
If you want the best grill out there,
if you're looking for something for Father's Day,
or you're thinking, you know,
maybe your family is looking for something for Father's Day.

What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
You know, there was really a beginning of the Trump era, and many people say it started with David Steinberg.
Maybe a name that you didn't know, but he's an investigative journalist, and he went into Eric Cantor's primary campaign.
and he's credited with tipping the historic loss and the beginning of the Trump area.
You don't believe me?
Ask Dave Brat.
Well, he's been following Elon Omar, and we've had him on for several times on this program,
and he has partnered us with us on research so we can get the news out that he is finding,
and he's found something new that Elon Omar has done,
that at the very least is suspicious the way it all came down.
It's coronavirus.
She is there to help the people.
Was she?
Or was she thinking that maybe she could get away with raising some campaign funds on the back of coronavirus?
We'll talk to David Steinberg in one minute.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
We also have some really good news.
for you. We've got a mayor of
town in California
who's just great, who's standing
up for the rights of businesses in his
town. We've got stories
all over the country popping up
of people standing for their rights,
which is just really amazing.
Also, one of my favorite authors
of fiction, James Rawlins,
is going to be with us. He's written a book called
The Last Odyssey. I asked to have him
on. We've been trying to get him for a couple of weeks because I
just finished reading it. It is a great
book. And it's, it's, it's, it's
It's one of these books where they mix history with fiction, and it just brings it to life.
And quite honestly, I've never wanted to read Homer before.
I had to read it, you know, when I was younger.
But I want to read it again because it's just brought in this whole,
it's just brought this whole thing to life in a completely different way.
So he's coming up in a second.
First, let me tell you about our sponsor.
It's blinds.com.
If you have been doing anything to your house, I mean, nobody's done that, right?
I mean, you're not doing any house repairs or anything.
not like a honey do to-do list that's like never seems to end right if you'd like to make a big
impact uh on your house the the easiest and most inexpensive way to do that is with blind shade
shutters or drapes and blinds.com is the place that makes it so easy to shop for the top
quality blind shades and interior shutters uh i'm going to be doing this i'm going up to the ranch

We've ordered some stuff before.
In fact, the last time we ordered, we were just online, just ordering, and I use the same
phone number you do and everything else.
I don't get any special deals.
And my wife was on and she said, look at the difference in price between what we were
just looking at and this.
It's the same blinds.
Look at the difference in price.
And I said, have you put in the Glenn Beck promo code?
She's like, what?
I'm like, you listen to the show.
Use the promo code back.
She did. The price went down. I think it was about 40%. It was shocking how the difference on the same blind that we could get from blinds.com. Please use the promo code back. And if you're looking for blind shade, shutters and drapes, blinds.com. Blines.com promo code back.
Tomorrow night, 9 p.m. Eastern on Glenn TV. Coronavirus tyrants have tried to crush our freedoms. But some Americans are fighting back.

Glenn takes back common sense in America.
Tomorrow night, 9 p.m. Eastern at blaishtiv.com slash Glenn.
David Steinberg was the New York City editor for PJ Media for a long time.
Homeland Security, Israel, political corruption.
he really came to light with Eric Cantor in the primary campaign.
He's really responsible for Dave Brat in office,
and we welcome him to the program.
He's been working quite a while on Elon Omar,
and hopefully we're going to see some action on this.
You have something that you wrote to me
and is now being published on the blaze.com
a story about what has happened here
just because of the coronavirus.
Can you take me through this?
Glenn, yes, thanks for having me on here.
What I've been discussing since 2018 is that the political correctness of avoiding to cover this woman
because it was somehow detrimental to her Somali immigrant community,
there was a very heavily Somali immigrant community in her district,
that they were avoiding, you understand how this goes.
They don't want to criticize her because of her identity,
because that could be detrimental to her community.
The problem is that's all a lie, but go ahead.
Right.
Since 2016 is that the people suffering under Rep Omar are,
her community members,
her these Somali immigrants,
many of them elderly who don't speak English all that well,
who have been living under her some
terrorized, bullied by her.
I've reported several times about threatening behavior,
about threats to family members and relatives
back home in Somalia.
The people suffering under Rep Omar
are the Somali immigrant population of her district.
Now, wait a minute, hang on just a second.
How can you possibly say that, David?
There's a tweet from her,
and I'm going to quote,
as Minnesotans struggle with hunger,
I'm partnering with MN Foodshare,
Minnesota Food Share,
and other local groups that pack and deliver meals to students and families.
Chip in $5 today to power their efforts and keep our communities fed.
And then she even has a link that sends you to secure.
Dot ActBlue.com so you can donate.
It's a problem.
She's helping their community.
She reached that on May 5th.
And,
And Minnesota Food Share was a charity meals program that very quickly got together.
This prominent imam in the area, he had a 501c3 organization.
He partnered with Minnesota Food Share, which was part of this 115-year-old church charity called GMCC.
And they said, we have a lot of people in this community who are seniors or disabled.
and because we are now under a lockdown order, which started March 25th,
they are an immediate risk of hunger.
If they can't get out of the house and get to these local Somali restaurants
or to wherever they had been getting...
And that's why Elon Omar partnered with them,
and she sent them to ActBlue.com to be able to make a secure donation.
Yeah, so on May 5th, she tweets that.
hours later that evening, the executive director of GMCC, which runs Minnesota Food Chair, this story charity,
it's been there again, 115 years, she tweets Ilhan Omar had nothing to do with this project.
I do not know where this money is going to.
I do. It's going to actblue.com.
So what, yes, it was act blue.com.
It was simply a donation to Ilhan.
Omar's campaign. So that was on May 5th. Now on May 8th, I noticed it. Well, Ilhan Omar
sometime after her link, her this fraudulent link was up for, it seems between one to three
days. On May 8th, I noticed it had been deleted. All I did was simply tweet that Ilhan has
posted this and this is what the charity director posted and Ilhan's tweet has now been deleted.
And I started to dig a little deeper into this to see if anyone could go on record and explain
what had happened. What had happened is Ilhan literally shook down a charity that was feeding
her voters, these Somali immigrants in her district. Ilhan had shot down a charity that was feeding her voters,
these Somali immigrants in her district.
Ilhan had shook down a charity the day before,
and you're not going to believe this story,
but the imam, his name is Imam,
Tawakal Ismail,
and he's very prominent in that community.
So for six weeks,
since right after the stay-at-home order was issued,
he has been raising money to feed this community.
Ilhan Omar shows up and wants to film a little campaign promo for herself in front of the restaurant while he is feeding these seniors.
And she wants to discuss how, you know, her meals act, that bribor she had put into the coronavirus bill.
It was helping to feed these people and how she was also helping to partner with Minnesota Food Share.
He tells her to get lost.
says, no, we've been doing this for six weeks.
You've had nothing to do with this.
We want absolutely no partnerships with any political campaign or anybody who is currently elected.
This is pure charity work.
We are feeding the homeless.
You are not to use that camera around here.
And it also said that in his contract that he had signed with the restaurant.
So he actually went on record.
He said that to Ilhan campaign, one of her key campaign staffers who's been with her since 2016.
His name is Ali Issy, and he uses the nickname Ali Ghani.
So I asked him specifically, I said, did Ilhan know, did she get the message from him that she was not supposed to be filming there
and that she was to have nothing to do with your program.
He says, yes, they tried to film it without my knowledge.
I walked in on them.
We had an argument.
I expressly told them not to.
I gave the same instructions to the restaurant owner.
And then he says, this is the quote.
Ali Ghani defied my instructions.
He said, anything that happened in this district comes under Ilhan Omar,
regardless of who's doing it.
they literally tried to bully this man into letting her film this promo.
Now, after that fight, that was on May 3rd.
Two days later, she tweets this false tweet that she is partnering with Minnesota Food Share
and donate $5.
It'll help keep our communities fed.
There was no discussion.
Okay. It appears that, oh, go ahead.
Well, it appears as though she just hijacked it again now, but on Twitter.
But I want to ask you one thing.
It is disgusting what she did there, trying to take credit for something that she had nothing to do with.
That's disgusting, but not illegal.
With the tweet, any politician can endorse anybody, whether they like it or not, anyone can endorse anybody.
the question is, was there a website where you could donate from this charity that she could have used to retweet?
And why did she use the Act Blue, which is the way she raises funds?
And do we have proof that that money was used in any other way other than the charity?
So after I reported this on May 8th, the charity that had originally said she has nothing to do with it.
On May 9th, there was some pressure, apparently, from Omar's campaign.
And obviously, this is a charity that simply does not want any friction.
So on May 9th, they tweet, we have now confirmed that the funds Ilhan Salih,
on our behalf earlier this week will go to Minnesota Food Share to donate to our efforts,
and then she gives the proper link to Minnesota Food Share.
So she had said, we have now confirmed.
There was no prior agreement that Bill Hunt, the money Omar was collecting was going to go to
anybody besides Omar.
Now, here's a real problem.
Here's a real problem here.
if I were raising money and I said to you, just write the check out to me and I'll deliver it to Mercury 1.
There would be all kinds of people that would go, wait a minute, what?
And I would have to, no one in my world would say, that's a good idea.
I wouldn't say it either.
It's a bad idea just because the appearance of impropriety, let alone the ease of actual taking money and shifting dollars.
but there is the link, and it's a secure link, GMCC.org, where you can donate.
Any idea why she ran it through this?
Through Act Blue instead of, through her campaign instead of GMCC?
Well, look, there were two principles.
There were four organizations that were partnering to run this charity.
We now, two of them are chaired by this e-mom.
he had two charity organizations.
The other one was GMCC, and this charity food program is a part of GMCC and has been for decades.
So we have the two principles.
The executive director of GMCC and the eMOM both say she had nothing to do with this,
and he in particular says she's doing this out of spite because she wanted to film,
and she wanted this little promo with the seniors and Somalis who are in her community and forgotten people.
She wanted this promo of these people being fed by her, essentially.
So he's saying she did this out of spite.
And that link that went up, there was no arrangement.
Again, Gwen, as you said, soliciting a charitable contribution under false pretenses is a crime for anybody in this country.
let alone a political campaign doing it, who knows how many infractions are involved there.
But yes, you recall this happened a couple years ago.
There was a large case where somebody raised a lot of money for a homeless man who got gas for a woman on the side of the street.
They are now serving a lengthy jail sentence.
You cannot solicit charitable contributions under false pretenses.
So, David.
Exhibit A of someone doing that, I don't know what it is.
So I ask you this, and I'm up against the network, so I've got to take a break.
But I ask you this at the end of all of your exposés.
Any interest at all from the police on this?
FBI, anybody?
On this one in particular, well, I wanted to publish it first on the Blaze.
Get some attention here, and we'll see if we can actually get something done.
Okay.
I don't know.
I do know that Steve Dreskowski is involved, and he,
He is the one who last year started the investigation that got her caught on six campaign finance infractions.
And I do know that he's on it.
All right.
Good work, David.
Thank you for bringing this to us.
I think it's not up yet, but it's going to be published by the Blaze here very soon.
I urge you to read it and ask, you know, send to the Justice Department, FBI.
Why?
Why is this not being investigated?
is a long, long list of wrongdoings.
Is anything going to be done?
Thank you so much.

And I have to tell you,
it was a good day for the good guys yesterday.
In New Jersey, in the Attilis Gym,
they were opening their gym in defiance of Governor Phil Murphy's coronavirus shutdown order.
And the people that were going to the gym were all there.
The cameras were all there.
They expected the police to show up.
If you haven't seen or heard this video yet,
I want to play this for you.
The police did show up just as they were getting ready to open the doors.
People thought for sure that they were going to be shut down.
Here's what the police officer said.
Speaker, please, don't worry about it.
We are and we're only here for everybody's safety today.
We plan for the worst, hope for the best, and it seems like that's hope we have out here today.
It's the best.
Normally, you are all in violation of the executive order.
On that note, on that note, have a good day.

But this is happening now in several places all around the country. We have a mayor of California coming up in just a little while that is going to talk to us about his new sanctuary city. It's a sanctuary for businesses. But I also want to talk to you about the Florida reopening. There is this amazing story from CNN.

Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
It's Tuesday.
I've been wanting to have James Rawlins on for a while because I've been reading his book.
I've just finished it, The Last Odyssey.
And it's one of my favorite kind of books.
James is a favorite author of mine.
I think we've had him on before.
Number one New York Times bestseller, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
he has he has his great ability to take science emerging science history and merge it all together in
something I called faction it's not fiction but it's not fact either it's a it's a combination
of the two and it's one of those books that you just begin to it just opens up your mind
and new possibilities in different worlds and history that you never thought of I mean I
read Homer and The Odyssey when I was when I had to not been interested in it my daughter keeps
telling me dad you got to read it it's so great and I'm like not interested until I read this
which is really nothing boring about it at all which is what you think this book starts with
Leonardo da Vinci religious cults and a search for the gateway to hell I mean could it get any better
And Sigma Force is back.
If you've never read any of his books, you don't have to read them to pick this one up.
But I guarantee you'll be picking up past ones if you start.
James, welcome to the program.
How are you?
I'm doing great, Glenn.
Thanks for having me back on the program.
The only reason I got that number one New York Times list was because you supported my books.
I appreciate it very much.
Oh, my gosh.
That's how untrue that is.
You're a great writer.
If it wasn't me, it would have been somebody else that would have just helped spread the word a little earlier.
But this book, James, you had me from the get-go.
First, let's start with the premise real quickly.
I don't want to get bogged down in it, but to start with the premise real quick.
Yeah, you know, I'm always looking for that.
The truth behind mythology, the truth behind these ancient stories, we used to tell each other.
And, you know, for centuries, everybody thought the city of Troy was just an imaginary place.
just something that Homer made up. I had no idea. I had no idea until I read the book.
Exactly. It wasn't until the late 18th century when an armchair archaeologist wasn't even an expert
stumbled upon these ruins in the coast of Turkey. And he believed, I think this is the city of Troy.
And all the archaeologists sort of laughed at him. But over time, it was proven that, yes,
that is indeed the ruins of the city of Troy. So within a second, suddenly, you know, what was considered
mythology is now history.
And so, you know, me, as a thriller writer, I'm thinking, well, if Troy was a real place, you know, how much else of Homer's stories of gods and monsters and curses and miracles in the Illion and the Odyssey, you know, what else might be buried in there?
What else might be true in that story?
That began my quest to write this novel.
And this novel, the ending, the last, I mean, the whole thing is just, just nonstop, but the last half of this book, when they're really looking into, you know, what the,
what would be really the gateway to hell.
And you explain how the gods and monsters was just ancient technology.
It's mind-boggling.
Any chance, go ahead.
I went to the National Archaeological Museum in Athens,
and they have this device called the Antica-Theromachycinumachian.
It was this sort of rusted device that was found in a shipwreck in the Mediterranean,
and it almost looks like a computer, if you look at it looks like a piece of a computer.
And again, it took a little bit of while.
There was some skepticism among archaeologists, but now it's become somewhat accepted
that this probably is the first example of an analog computer.
You know, back in ancient Greek times, they were already at that level of advancement.
And so we'll do more research, going to the museums, talking different historians.
I just found out exactly, you know, how surprising and how much we underestimate the technology,
and how sophisticated people were.
You know, we look at the building of the pyramids,
and people want to blame them on ancient aliens or something like that.
No, we were just, the human beings have these wonderful brains in our heads,
and we're very inventive, and we look at the world around us,
and we try to innovate.
And so, you know, one of the reason I want to write this novel
is almost a little homage to the pure creativity of the human mind.
I'm convinced, James, that we have had technology
and destroyed ourselves,
had technology and destroyed herself several, several times.
But is the automaton's really that, you know, are part of your story, for lack of a better term,
automaton's.
But is that come from that piece of that, quote-unquote, computer, or is there anything else
that you saw in history that helped you shape this?
And I did a bunch of research.
And it's shocking how, I mean, they were already building automaton in Greek time.
There was a whole slew of designs and architect engineers.
They were building these incredible devices back then.
They had these incredible pumps, and they had these moving statues.
So they were already working beyond what most people think is doing.
It was like hydraulics.
Oh, exactly.
They were very ingenious with what they were able to create.
They had horses that would drink water.
They had birds that could fly.
The original Olympics in Greece had this entire mechanical sort of demonstration where a dolphin would come out of the water and a bird would go flying.
This is all mechanical, all sort of these mechanical automatones they were building.
So it's incredible.
And so most people don't realize how sharp they were.
So I love shining lights on those little bits of history that have become lost in time, whether it's in a story, whether it's in technology.
One of the things that you'd hit right off the bat, which it got me right away, is the connection between Leonardo da Vinci and one of the greatest minds in the world from the Muslim golden era.
And there are lots of pieces in history that say that Leonardo da Vinci really kind of copied a lot of the stuff from.
the Muslims in that that it long, long ago come up with things that he was credited for.
Well, that's what I was sort of fascinated with is that knowledge seems to be passed like a torch from
one civilization to another. When, when Europe began falling into the dark ages and knowledge
of being lost, it shifted over to the Muslim world where they were in this flourishing in this,
this is Islamic golden age. And they were, they were inventing a bunch of,
things are expanding upon what we were doing in Europe before the dark ages.
And then the Islamic golden age began to fade, and that torch passed back to Europe during
the Renaissance.
And that's what we saw happen with Leonardo da Vinci.
As the Islamic world was beginning to fall into darkness, the Renaissance was going on
in Europe, and Leonardo da Vinci was one of those that carried that torch forward.
He went and studied these ancient books from these groups of Arab inventors from the House
of wisdom, an ancient school of architecture and engineering.
And by his own admission, Leonardo does admit that he was influenced, if not even outright,
borrowing from some of those early Muslim inventors.
And not only did that, he basically carried that forward, he took those rudimentary bits of
knowledge that were almost lost and built upon them.
And so I just like the fact that knowledge never seems to be quite lost.
A common theme of my knowledge of my books is that, you know, knowledge is never truly lost.
It's going to be, whatever is buried, it's going to come back out again.
And so, you know, Leonardo, Leonardo, Vinci is a perfect example of that.
So, James, I could spend an hour with you on this topic, but we're going to run out of time.
The religious cults that get involved, you have a coming together of all kinds of people that you would think were mortal enemies.
And they're coming together because of the reset or the reset or the,
the destruction of the world.
Tell me a little bit about this and the, you know, the, if you will, the second coming or the,
you know, the last imam or whatever it is people believe.
Tell me where that comes from and how real is this.
Well, I was trying when I was writing this novel about, you know, looking for the gates of hell.
So I was looking at the way various cultures viewed the end of the world, you know,
what happens, you know, after the, after the, all of us are gone.
And I found out that there was actually a lot of commonality.
There's a lot of shared views that were weirdly and sort of strangely tied together.
And then I found out that there was sort of this worrisome trend right now that,
you know, believing that maybe we're in the biblical end times and maybe we should drive towards that goal.
And what I found out is that even going on in Iran is that the Ayatollah the Supreme Leader of the President of Iran,
They're both 12ers, which is they believe that the 12th Imam is due to arrive,
and the Imam is supposed to be the heralding of the end of the world.
And again, there are some beliefs about the return of Jesus Christ in their mythology,
or in their belief of what's going to happen at the end of the world.
So again, it was just fascinating the way everybody was viewing this different world.
So my concern is that there is almost a political military trend towards trying to push towards that goal,
which, you know, especially right now, I'm not looking forward to the end of the world.
the world right now. No, no, I'm not either. It's a little concerning that there's some
drive towards that. You know, one of the goals of this novel is maybe to shine a light on that
existential threat about certain powers trying to drive us towards biblical end times.
I will tell you, James, that, I mean, this is like a Glenn Beck novel. This has me written
all over it for a million different reasons. But one of them is just that where it starts,
it starts up in Greenland when you get into the story, what was trapped and found under the ice.
And I'm convinced, I don't know about Greenland, but Antarctica, I think there is all kinds of stuff.
And most of it natural, just, you know, we're finding tropical plants way, way, way, way beneath the ice in Antarctica.
There's just, there's so much to the history of the world that we don't know that is going to, as you said, eventually become uncovered.
Yeah, I mean, you mentioned before about, you know, a potential that there's been civilizations.
after civilization, and I believe that.
One of my novels coming up is going to be dealing with that very subject matter.
My next novel, Savage Zone, it's coming out next spring.
It's all about viruses.
My editor goes, how come you know all about this?
Why, how come you?
You wrote the seventh plague about a viral pandemic, and now we're in a viral pandemic.
You know, you wrote about Chinese labs and the weird thing that's going on in those labs
in the bone labyrinth, and look what's happening now.
You know, my book I wrote a year and a half ago, Demon Crown was all about giant Asian
wasps, and now we have the murder hornets.
So,
geez.
When I started writing this virus,
maybe you're the problem, James.
Maybe it's all coming from you.
I'm not going to write right now.
Yeah.
But at a couple of people have to talk about this whole situation we're in,
because I did a lot of research for this virus,
and,
you know,
there's those things I would love to reveal that's going on right now.
But I know,
could I ask you to come back for maybe an hour?
Because I'm out of time.
Can I ask you to come back, you know, in the next week?
Everything was really going on about the coronavirus.
There's things that people are talking about.
There's things I know, and I will love to share that.
Okay.
All right.
One last thing on this.
By the way, the book is called The Last Odyssey.
If you're looking for a great thriller, this is the summer thriller.
It's fantastic.
The Last Odyssey.
Last question.
You know Harlan Coben, right?
I do indeed.
Yep, I actually passed him the Super Bullet Award over at Thriller Fest last year.
Yeah, good for you.
He's done something with the BBC where he is making these books.
into series, little five-part or eight-part series with Netflix over in England, you need to get this,
you need to get this book.
This is like, this is a really, really smart Indiana Jones almost.
I mean, it has everything that I loved about Indiana Jones with the adventure and the danger
and everything else, but it's really a deep book.
It's really good, James, really good.
Somebody needs to see this book and make it into a series.
Well, this series has been optioned, so fingers crossed.
Oh, it has.
We may eventually see it on the big screen or the small screen.
Excellent.
Good, good.
James, we'll talk to you again.
We're going to have one of our people reach out to you and we'll schedule something here as soon as we can because I would love to talk to you at greater length, especially about what's going on today with the virus.
Thank you so much, James.
Appreciate it.
Appreciate it.
You bet.
Yep.
James Rollins, the name of the book is The Last Audit.
It's been out for a while, you know, a couple of weeks or maybe a couple of months, but it's really, really great.
James Rollins, the last Odyssey.
All right.

do apply. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I'm glad you're here. You know, I forgot that we used to have
these authors on all the time. This is years ago, every 10 years ago. I'm friends with a lot of these,
a lot of these big, big authors. And I used to have them on because of the research they had to do.
You know, truth is harder than fiction. No, wait. Yeah, truth is harder than fiction because fiction has to make sense.
and so they
they work so hard
its truth is stranger than fiction
because fiction has to make sense
fiction they can't put things
you couldn't write today's story
what's happening in the country in the world
because no one would believe it
because they just wouldn't believe
that this is what was going to happen
you could say that Donald Trump would become a dictator
and a lot of people would buy that
but to say no Donald Trump
passed on the dictatorial role
and said we should be free and all the governors started to become dictators.
Nobody would have believed that.
So they really have to do their research.
And we should have James back on because, as he said, he did a big book on a killer
virus and also another one on what was happening over in China.
These guys think about them and really do their research and kind of war game out what's possible.
So we're going to have James back on.
in hopefully in the next couple of days if he has time and we'll talk about what's happening in the world we've got a great mayor from california next
first let me tell you about uh built bar billed bar is a protein bar now hear me out protein bars suck it's like eating my dormant i hate them
my wife is always like i gotta have a protein bar it's really all the people who exercise around me or eat the protein bar yeah you know what i'm not
you don't get a body like this eating protein bars anyway um so my wife's
has been saying because I have to have a snack at night. I have to have a sweet tooth.
And she's like, these are like candy bars. No, they're not. They're protein bars. And then when there
was no snacks in the house and I got really desperate, I got into her box of built bars. And it's like,
don't tell her I said this. It's like having a candy bar. 150 calories. They're really healthy for
you. I'm not reaching out for ice cream. I got a built bar. They're fantastic. You want to stay healthy.

Is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
You know, we've spent a lot of time complaining about things.
and saying, you know, how much this lockdown sucks.
But there is some good things.
Now, the left is looking at this and saying, yeah, we can reshape the world.
We can get rid of capitalism.
We can herd people into places.
We can save the planet with global warming.
All we have to do this.
All we have to do is do what we're doing now and a little bit more for at least the next 30 years.
Oh, perfect.
But there are some other things that if you happen to be a lover of the Constitution,
you might like, and that is, people are waking up to this old, antiquated idea of rights,
that we have a bill of rights and they can't be violated.
And there is no right to not get sick.
There is no right of being safe.
It's an impossible right.
And they're violating all of the real rights that we're endowed with to try to give us a bogus right that they can't.
they can't actually do.
Here's a great thing.
We're finding out who believes in rights and who believes in autocratic rule,
and we're finding great partners all around the country and the world,
including in a city in California,
a new protected city, an amnesty city, if you will,
where you don't have to worry about being.
arrested or getting any problems if you're an illegal business.
If you're opening up a business against the state, well, we'll tell you about this brave mayor.
He's on with us.
Also, Sabo, the artist, the renegade, all this hour and more.
We begin in one minute.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
So Lindsay Graham has introduced the COVID-19 accountability.
Act, which allows President Trump to sanction China for mishandling the coronavirus, pretty much
from the start to finish, even if we can consider this finished.
I don't know if you heard, but another city is going down on lockdown in China.
There is now another major city that they're starting to lock down because it has come back
to China.
They need to answer for what they have done to the world, but we also need to protect everything
that we have. We're in an economic crisis of biblical proportions. The latest from the Fed is they think
that our current unemployment rate is about 30%. This is the biggest in the history of the world that we
know of, at least in the modern era. We've also been hearing from people like Paul Singer that the
market could get cut in half. I think there is a real chance of that. I think there is a,
there's another leg to come down and it would probably happen right around the time of the election.
It could be wrong, but there is another one.
coming. So gold. Gold is an asset that so many sources now over the last three months have been saying gold could be at $3,000 an ounce.
Please don't buy this as an investment that you're like, oh, I could get rich. Three thousand dollars an ounce.
That's double my money. Yeah, $3,000 an ounce and the world is on fire. It's a crazy place.
If that's true, do your own homework. But you do need to have gold. If it's valued at,
$3,000 an ounce, you're going to wish you listened to me today. Goldline, one of the few places
still shipping on demand with sufficient inventory to cover millions in shipments. I just called
them a couple of weeks ago. I ordered some gold. I highly recommend that you at least consider
it and do your own homework. You're smart enough to figure out if it's right for you.
866 Goldline, 1866 Goldline or goldline.com. Sanctuary cities, something that we really don't ever
like to hear about sanctuary cities except this one you're going to like the city of atwater
has passed a resolution that allows the city's businesses and churches and not for profit
organizations to reopen uh despite the continuance uh we are thrilled to have and why do i not
have any of his information we're thrilled to have uh our guest uh with us paul crayton is
this. I don't know what happened to it. I'm sorry. Paul, welcome to the program. He is the mayor of
this sanctuary city. Hi, Paul. How are you? Hey, good morning, Glenn. Thank you for having me on.
You bet. So you, first of all, thank you. Thank you for standing up for the Constitution.
Thank you for standing up for small businesses. Tell me how you came to this and what's happening.
Okay, first, where we got where we're at today is because Councilman Brian Raymond, Merritt, Pro Tem, he was talking to his neighbor about what's going on, the devastation to all of our local businesses, and they were just having this discussion back and forth, and somehow sanctuary for the drug addicts, the people, the syringes, the needles, the homeless in San Francisco, the homeless here in Outwater, they're all protected.
and his light went off in Sanctuary City for all businesses.
Then he called me up and I ran with it.
I think it was genius.
So what does this mean?
Now this is where, I mean, the food that we get comes from your valley, right?
It does.
It's grown right here.
Okay.
We're in the heart, the breadbasket of the world.
Okay.
And you are critical to the rest of us and the rest of the world eating.
what has been the impact, Paul, on your community of this lockdown?
It's been total financial devastation.
The lockdown that we all agreed to for two weeks, and then we did the right thing.
Our community, our city council, we were ahead of the governor, we were ahead of the county.
We declared an emergency over 10 days before the governor or the county did.
We put a medical team together with a doctor Vanney not a team but Dr. Vanek is a surgeon to advise us on what we should do.
We started buying PPE.
We got medical supplies.
We got with the high school district.
We commandeered local high school in case we needed two, three hundred beds to put in over there.
We were making plans for the worst case scenario and it never came, which is good because we smashed the curve.
So since then they've asked us two more.
weeks, then two more weeks.
And we're ready to go back
to open because we have nurses
and doctors that are
losing money. Nurses are being sent home
at our local hospital. I know.
You know, it's crazy
it's crazy
Paul that we are, that we
all got into this and most of us
were ahead of the government, as it should be.
We do people usually lead.
And
we all agreed with
hey, let's let's
bend the curve. Let's make sure that we don't cripple our hospitals. But then suddenly it went to,
we're not going to reopen until we have a cure, which is insanity. And none of us would have agreed to.
It's worse than that. It's worse than that. They said, X people will be hurt. Let's flatten the
curve so we don't ruin the hospitals to now nobody can get hurt. Nobody can be hurt from anything
whatsoever. Right. And how dare us think that we can go back and earn the living because the bailout's
not coming to Outwater, California.
2008, we were the epicenter
of the financial housing crisis.
We've never recovered from that.
So to say that if we do
the right thing, we told the line like other politicians
around me are doing, that
hey, be, hey, be quiet, the governor
will retaliate against you, or you might not get
funding from the governor. They blew through
$250 million in two months.
That's every two months, that's a half
trillion dollars. There's no way they're going to have money
to bail us out. But we have to save ourselves
is what this council decided to do.
So we're talking to the mayor of Atwater, California, Paul Kreiton, who has defied the governor.
I just read a story today.
One of the sheriffs from the second most populous county in Illinois said he has been strong-armed.
He has been told his funding will go away if he doesn't stand with the governor.
And he said, I can't do it anymore.
I just, it's not right.
He said, people have rights and we're violating their rights.
Have you been strong-armed, Paul?
Have you had tangible things said to you or threatened to be held back?
So after we announced the Sanctuary City Friday night, yes, the governor's office has been busy.
The alcohol and tobacco arm of the governor has called every single business and town to hold the alcohol license
and threaten them that if they seat people and serve them alcohol, they're going to yank their license,
which is complete Nazism.
I can't believe that's happening.
I've got business owners calling me crying and saying,
I thought we could open up.
I thought we could sit people down, have dinner,
and be able to have a glass of wine in the great state of California.
Instead, we have the ABC at a stock in California,
the head supervisor calling personally telling everybody,
you better shut down, you better not be doing this stuff.
So, yes, we're getting the strong arm of the government's coming down on us pretty hard here in California.
What's the ABC?
see.
That's the alcohol, tobacco control.
They regulate the liquor licenses and the tobacco industry here.
Okay.
So this is one thing that is really, it drives me crazy that we have so many license
for so many things that just don't need a license.
I mean, there's lots of things, you know, you're going to be a doctor.
I'd like to make sure that you were licensed.
But there's some things that just don't need a license.
You just talked about the restaurants, but how about the salons?
How about people who are cutting people's hair?
Are they getting threatened as well?
You know, the governor announced that he knew where the virus came from,
that it came from a nail salon.
So he has that whole industry terrified, absolutely terrified.
So they have yet to open up.
We're looking for our county to stand up and do the right thing
and get us to the next level so we can open up.
The local county, just to our east, Mariposa,
has already opened up for business up there because they're proactive and they're not messing around.
And just this weekend, our sheriff has put down the gauntlet also and joined the city of Atwater, too.
He's going to stand down.
They're not going to come out and force anything.
And we're sending a message, and we're getting tremendous support nationwide, never in a million years to dream that this would go outside the city limits.
We were just trying to do the right thing for ourselves.
And we know that we're starving to death here.
So we have to save ourselves, and that's all we're trying to do.
We're not looking to pick a fight with the governor or anybody else, but I'll tell you what, when I was in D.C., Washington, D.C. this January and met the president, I told him personally to his face that we need this help out here in California, and I didn't know at the time how bad that was going to come true.
How bad of shape are the farmers and the people that are actually feeding us?
are they well we've got uh local dairies here in town they're dumping milk they're going to have
to start killing cows it's it's actually emotionally um devastating and financially devastating
and you don't just bring another cow back tomorrow to go milk go milk them it takes
months and years these animals ready to go you know i don't think i don't think we're
having a serious discussion about um local farmers enough i mean being
able to bring things to market locally, being able to butcher your own cattle locally and not have
to go through one of these big slaughterhouses. I mean, we have, we've farmed our medicine and
too much of our jobs overseas, and we're doing the same thing into other states or other
communities. There is, there is a reason to have things, you know, kind of centralized in
some degree and have big distribution places. But there's all.
also a reason to make sure that we can do these things locally.
We're all these farmers,
there's no reason why these farmers have to slaughter these animals
because the big slaughterhouses can't do them.
Many times you can do them locally and you could actually sell the meat if,
if you had, right, if you had the right to do it, if you had the,
well, I shouldn't say that.
If you had the license to do it, you could slaughter the meat and you could have it in the
local grocery store and we wouldn't have any of these problems. But the government has just gotten
out of control. I'll tell you what, this, what's going on right now is just like the power
crisis we had. Remember when the grid went down and we found out that yes, all the powers in one
state and they control everything? We've learned that our food supply, we're growing it here and it's
all being controlled in one state, the meat, the packing industry. It's time to, to redistribute it
like you said, across the state to not make it a crime to try to survive as a human being.
Well, it can't be a crime.
I mean, what kills me, Paul, as I said just a minute ago, we don't have a right to be safe
from all things.
We don't.
That is an impact.
God doesn't issue that right to human beings.
We're all going to die and we're all going to die.
Some of us surprisingly in surprising different ways.
There is no right that God grants that we're all going to be safe.
The government cannot fulfill that right because it doesn't exist.
And they're violating all the other rights that do exist to give us this bonus one.
You've got paid bureaucrats dictating how everybody lives, which they're still receiving their paychecks.
I'm at as hell because we've got our local county health officers given edicts on what we're going to do and not do.
And they're getting $15,000 a month, $30,000.
every two months.
You know what the median income is here and our?
$48,000 a year.
That's two people working.
And we got these other people down here telling us what you do that makes $130,000 to $200,000
a year telling us how to live, how to breathe, how to do everything else, and they're not
suffering a bit.
Paul, what happens to your city and how does this end?
Do you have any idea?
It's going to end financially bad.
I can tell you that right now.
but what we've done is council
why do you say that
why do you say that just because of
what the rest of the country and the world
is going through or or because
of threats or why
I think that
we're going to end up financially in trouble
because the devastation
it's going to be hard to recover after two
three months of no
economy whatsoever these businesses I've got
a local restaurant I've been going to
for the last 30 years my kids
have grown up eating there
a granny's restaurants, a little breakfast joint. And there's a 70-year-old woman that runs the
place, and she's doing everything with her son-in-law day-to-day. They're doing takeout business.
I'm watching them be crushed every single day. It's, you know, it would make you tear up. It's
heartbreaking because they just want to survive. They just want to open the doors up. I listen to her.
I go have coffee with her once in a while, and, you know, 40 years she's been in the business,
trying to survive and here's an unelected bureaucrat
saying you can't open you can't do this you can't do that and we've had enough we're
we're not going to take it anymore does the rest of California wake up or do they
stick with these crazy dictators do you know there's two Californians there's the
California San Francisco Oakland and LA there's 40 million people in California
they out vote us they outpopulate us that group sticks with the governor and the
down indefinitely because they're going to stay home with their feet up, laying in bed,
scared to death.
The rest of us are going to be growing crops, manufacturing things, and trying to get out and
and live in it and just be a free, safe human.
We have that right.
Paul, thank you for renewing my hope and really defining a book that I wrote, the first
book I ever wrote called The Real America.
Thank you for defining the real America and bringing it to life.
today. Paul Crichton, mayor of Atwater, California. If there's anything your town or anything we can do to
help you, you please reach out to us, Paul. Thank you so much for everything you've done.
Thank you. Bye-bye. You bet. Bye-bye. All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about rec tech grills.
They say time slows for no man, but lately I don't think that's true. Time has slowed down a lot
in the last couple of months in several ways. Some of them aren't pleasant, but some of them are
like the time I get to spend with my family, the time you've had with your family.
I think this has really been a renewal process for a lot of us,
and I'm going to miss some of that when it gets back, quote, unquote, to normal.
But some of the things that we have done, like slow grilling.
We have been smoking something.
We had, what was it, swordfish, I think, last night.
Yeah, I just caught it myself in the backyard.
But when we smoked it, we've had hamburgers that have been smoked.
that beef that has been smoked in the rec tech grill.
It's just so great.
It's smart grilling technology.
I haven't burned a single thing since I started using the rec tech grill.
You can win your chance to have the same grill that I have.

Let's break for 10 seconds, Station ID.
You know, I'm just looking at Sabo.
He's a conservative street artist in California.
This guy is so freaking brave.
I don't know how he does it.
I really don't know how he does it.
But he is like, what's the guy over in England?
Banksy.
And he puts this street art out.
And it is, it's pro freedom.
I mean, what he's doing now with open the beaches and open California,
he's putting these great pieces of art out into the public.
And does it overnight and you wake up and all of a sudden billboards have been changed.
And it's a political statement.
He's been the platform from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, PayPal.
You have to go to see his work on his main website, unsavoryagents.com, unsavoryagents.com.
I have to buy one of his pieces of art, only because, you know, the left, they hold up their artists.
And artists are really important.
And they hold up their artists.
And we don't.
And I almost bought something of his.
at one of these conventions.
And I got busy and I never came back.
I've got to support him.
He does incredible work.
He's going to be joining us because he is all over the lockdown overreach.
And he is being really, really brave.
And I think you should know about it.
In his own way, he's fighting the good fight in California.
He joins us in just a minute.
Stand by.

All right.
I want to show you how dramatic things have changed in the mortgage industry.
If you refinanced or got a loan at the beginning of this year, 2020, your interest rate has already dropped almost a full point.
That was before the rates hit the new record low at the end of April.
So imagine how much money you can save right now.
If you refinance, if you did it five years ago, 10 years ago, whenever you did it, your interest rate is very low right now.
And you can save hundreds, if not $1,000 or more a month on just refinancing.
If you consolidate your mortgage, get the lower interest rate, and you take all of your credit cards that have probably 15 to 22% interest, you could save a buttload of money.
It's the responsible thing to do.
It'll take you 10 minutes on the phone to get started.
10 minutes they can tell you if they can help you or not.

Andrew Bright, Bart was absolutely right when he said that culture leads
everything. And Sabo is an artist. He is, I mean, I guess the closest you can come to him is Banksy,
who's a famous, you know, famous graffiti artist. But I think Sabo's stuff is, is much more
daring. And he's the only one that's conservative that I know of. And I want to start this
interview with Sabo, because he's done some amazing things here recently. But let me start with this.
Sabo, how are you, man?
I'm great, man.
Thanks for having me back on.
You bet.
I saw you, I don't remember where it was, but you had a place set up, and you were selling some stuff,
and I was going to buy the Hillary 2016, the stencil, which is great, and I didn't get a chance
to come back.
Do you still have one?
Because I'd like to buy one from you.
Yes, I do.
It's actually at unsavedryagents.com, but that one's.
still sitting here waiting for you.
Okay, good. I will take it.
So I'll go to the unsavoryagents.com and buy it online.
You could email me and we'll wrap that thing up.
All right, good.
So, Sabo, you are one of the bravest guys that I know of.
I don't know how you get away with this.
I don't know how you do it.
But people in California are very aware of your artwork,
because you'll get up in a morning, you'll be driving along,
and here's a brand new billboard that has been changed overnight,
and it's your work.
How much, how, what's harder?
Coming up with the ideas, doing the work,
or figuring out a way to put it up without getting caught?
Coming up with the ideas, it's like you'll get to the point to where you're up on a
billboard and you'll see police cruisers drive by,
and you're wondering how the hell am I getting arrested.
it. And just luck, man. Fear almost goes out the window when you're doing that kind of work.
But I don't know. It's all just getting it up there. You just get a crew together and have a few beers.
And more times and not, it's more fun than anything else.
It's so great. I wanted to get you on because I saw the latest with Newsom.
Can you talk a little bit about the latest artwork that you've been putting up?
You've been very busy during the coronavirus thing, but your gruesome Newsom thing is just fantastic.
You want to explain it for people on the radio who can't see it?
Sure.
I saw this image of Newsome, and he looked like a great white shark.
He had the perfect face, the perfect skin, teed hair.
The man is nothing but a veneer.
And when I saw that photo of him, I thought that looks just like a mask that, a sniff.
would use to trick somebody.
And so I made them look like a reptilian with a nuisance.
And it almost made itself.
How long do these things last before they're taken down?
They don't last very long at all.
That's why it's important for them to go viral and have people like you talk about them
because I can't rely on them being on the street.
Yeah.
And California Psycho.
Tell me about that one.
Well, Dundee look like Christian Bale, and I hate complimenting him like that.
But a big guy's psycho.
Yeah, yeah, look, I mean, you cannot trust a man that spends more time in front of a mirror than a woman.
So you have, you've put him into the movie poster, American Psycho, with blood all over his, blood all over his face, just like Christian Bale.
it must drive the Hollywood elite nuts because you you hijack the culture that they have so
painstakingly crafted and you use their own images against them yeah you know and I can't
believe how thin skin some of these people are they'll actually like like I had Jimmy Kimmel
actually sit by one of my pieces and flip me off it's like for God's sakes man there's a
Brink truck, Brinks truck that drops millions of dollars every week at your house and you're
worried about me.
It's like, get a grit, man.
You know, make fun of yourself.
And the thought of Newsom, the thought of him taking the beaches away from Californians right
before summer, you can't make that up.
I have to tell you, the other one that I saw where the beaches, and I want you to explain
the beaches, but let me just take it here because it goes to the beach.
You've done several of these.
you've done, I'm in Texas and you have taken the come and take it flag and you have replaced it with a skateboard.
In one of the craziest stories I have ever heard, that's not a public park, that's a privately owned park.
And the city came in and just dumped truckloads of sand so nobody could be using their skateboard.
Yeah, you know, and you would think skateboarders are the biggest hellraises on the planet.
If I was a skateboarder, if I used that park, I would go with a five-gallon bucket and just take 100 skateboarders with those buckets to just dump it in front of Garcetti's house here in L.A.
But they're not going to do that.
They're too busy complying.
And then you also took the same flag, the black and white, Texas come and take it flag, and you added surfboard, a surfboard instead of a gun.
Yes.
And I also made one with the fly rod as well.
well, a fishing rod. I can't believe they're letting people like, you're not allowed to
fish with more than two people, if you're even allowed to. But you could drive in your car with
six people, but only two people can be on the boat. I mean, here in Los Angeles, Garcetti said,
you can't go to the beach, but you have to stand on the wet sand. You can't be on the dry sand.
Where do they come up with these things? I have no idea. I have no idea. So is your, let me give one more
thing that you've done on the COVID-19.
A great invasion of the snitchers, which is like invasion of the body snatchers,
save a life, call, and reward.
The, are these, do you think these are resonating with people who are not necessarily
fans of you from the past, but they're now starting to hit people?
I mean, is it changing things at all, do you think?
All I can say is there are a lot of Democrats in California that are sick of it.
And I'm getting tired of a Republican saying, oh, I'm leaving California and moving to Texas.
It's like, why don't you stay in fight?
You know, it's like, because right now I believe California is poised to be taken over.
We have a chance here in California.
We just need to know how to play our cards because there's a lot of Democrats here that are just fed up.
I will tell you, Sable, I've talked to several people who are, who are Democrats, but have seen how far the Democratic Party has gone.
And this is even before coronavirus and have told me that they are, they are in a, you know, a secret, you know, a chat with five different people that are in the same kind of category.
and they're all saying that they're not going to vote for the Democratic nominee because it's gotten as bad as Donald Trump is, they'll say.
What they are planning on doing on the Democratic side is the destruction of the capitalist system.
And they're all saying, we'll all be out of business.
This is going to be horrendous for everyone.
And we're not going to tell people that work for us, but we're all voting in another way.
I found it astounding.
Well, you know, we heard about the Green New Deal from AOC a while back, a few months back,
and we figured there's absolutely no way you can implement something like that.
I mean, doesn't this smack of the Green New Deal?
It's like capitalism's being just destroyed.
It is.
I just did a, I just did an hour just this morning, the first hour of this broadcast was about that.
This new push for the Green New Deal and how,
deep it goes into, you know, with Soros and everybody else, and how they are really looking at
America and saying, let's see how far we can push them. And this is our chance to completely
redesign the world. And personally, I think it's a great chance for those who like freedom
and the Constitution to do the same, to actually strengthen the Constitution and our given rights.
And look at things like state-run liquor licenses. Why does the state have to do that? Why, why
is the state regulate all hair salons?
You know, we just talked to a mayor of California in Atwater who just said, we're out,
but he can't protect those who have a state license.
And the license boards in the state are saying,
we're going to put you out of business.
We'll revoke your license if you even open up against Gavin Newsom's orders.
Academia is trying to make it to where an artist needs a license to do graphic design.
And that's just another way of them.
silencing us.
Where did you hear that story?
I've not heard that.
Where is that?
I read that years ago.
I mean, they've been planning this forever.
And if they can find a way to make it, well, their justification is if someone's going
to drop thousands of dollars into a logo or branding, well, then that person should be certified.
Shut up.
I'm serious, dude.
I got like a chill in my blood when I heard that.
because I know these schools, you have to be a full-on leftist to make it through an art school to get that degree.
And a guy like me simply wouldn't get the credentials.
I feel bad for that poor old man that just wants to cut hair.
I mean, why do you need a license to cut hair?
I will tell you this, Abel.
I don't know if you have ever talked to anybody at the National Archives or the Smithsonian,
but I can guarantee you that your art is being saved.
by the Smithsonian, because it will play a role.
It is playing a role in our story, our national story,
and someday you will be recognized as who you really are,
a really, truly great artist.
Do you have any museums or galleries or anybody,
has anybody take you on and said,
no, this is real art that needs to be showcased?
Started to pick up a little bit.
I think even the art people in the art,
World War we're starting to figure it out because I'm buying pieces off to London, Canada,
New York, all over the place, Texas.
And I think it's just now picking up.
And you can see my work at unsavoryagents.com.
Forgive the plug, but it's like, you know, people, yeah, people going to that site and
supporting what I do.
I mean, I'd love to put a thousand of those gruesome newsome posters out, but I mean,
that's going to run about a grand, $2,000.
And any help would definitely help.
it'll cost you a thousand bucks to put those posters out and so every t-shirt you sell it allows you to do some more some more work yeah pretty much the money all goes back out in the street yeah that's great um listen i i want to encourage sable thank you so much for what you do thank you for your bravery thanks for the artistic uh commentary and quite frankly the laughs um but uh i want to encourage the audience
The left, they have a whole system that supports these artists that, you know, what do you call that?
It's blue.
Yeah, because it's a big canvas that's just blue.
I got it.
And they'll make sure that that artist is taking care of.
And that artist, you know, has a great career.
And it'll hang in some of the greatest houses in America and to be in some of the greatest museums.
Whatever.
Fine, if you find that, you know, to be valuable, great.
But they take care of the left.
No one is taking care of the artists on the right.
And we really need to support our artists,
especially those who are brave enough to stand up and speak out like Sabo is.
I urge you to go to unsavoryagents.com.
Buy a t-shirt.
You could get the come-and-take-it sign with the fishing or whatever for like five bucks.
The t-shirts are 25 bucks.
Please go and support Sabo because I would love to.
see that he had a lot more than $1,000 to go to put some more of these gruesome
newsome posters up because they're hysterical, hysterical.
And Sable, I'll, you bet. I'll be in touch this afternoon and I want to get one of the Hillary
16 because I think they are brilliant and something that should be, that will be valuable
down the road once we get past all of this insanity of political correctness. Thank you so much.
Thanks for having me on.
You bet. Sabo, you can follow him and Instagram. Sabo Art. He has been de-platformed, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, PayPal.
The only way you really can see him is unsavoryagents.com. Unsavoryagents.com. But make sure you support him if you can.
All right. Let me tell you about Relief Factor, the people who support us so our voice can be heard.
And by the way, please, I know while we're here on supporting people, if you're listening to a radio station,
right now and you hear a local commercial.
These people are hurting just as badly as everyone else,
but they are trusting that you will find value in whatever it is they're advertising.
If you are looking for whatever that company is advertising,
or if you're looking for a place to go out and it's a restaurant or whatever,
these people are supporting us and you're right to be able to hear differing opinions.
They are so critical to all of our survival that, please,
If you hear something that you want, you think is valuable, please buy it from the advertisers from
these programs and our local radio stations.
Local radio stations are having a really tough time and we need to support them.
All right, relief factor from relieffactor.com.
This is pain relief.
Unlike any pain relief I have ever had.
I had tried everything.
I had gone to the every doctor known to mankind.
I've gone to the Mayo Clinic.
I've gone to the best hospitals and the best researchers around could not get out of pain.
I tried everything.
Finally, my wife said try relief factor.
And I'm like, that's not going to work.
Why?
Because it's advertised on radio by your friend who is saying that it works.
I don't know.
It's just, I mean, it's more complex than that.
No, it's really not.
Turns out not.
Most of our pain is caused by inflammation.
So relief factor reduces that.
unlike ibuprofen 800, if you've ever had a prescription for that.
I take this three times a day and it has given me my life back.

You're listening to Glenn.

the new civil rights movement.

The new civil rights and the new civil rights leaders.
It's all happening in America and it is all grassroots.
And there's no big funding behind it.
It's just people standing up and this time they're not going away.
That's on tomorrow's broadcast.
We'll see you on TV and radio tomorrow.
