Pett on other ono.C. Let me talk to you a little bit about the founders of our country. They understood

that freedom is never more than a moment away from vanishing if an unarmed population exists. That's why

they crafted the Second Amendment. I believe in that freedom. You believe in that freedom. It's also responsibility. Not every situation in an emergency calls for lethal force. Sometimes non-lethal is the right answer. For that, there's the burn a launcher. You ever thought about being trapped by a crowd, you know, in your car? I think we're going to have those problems again this fall, unfortunately. That's where a burn a launcher would be great.

It's a compliment to your firearms. There's a situation where less leased. is the way to go. And Burna is the best way to go for it. You can hit a kinetic round, or you can just roll your window down a little bit and hit them with tear gas. That incapacitates people for about 45 minutes.

I am here to tell you that there isn't a single thing in the news that is negative or bad for America. April Fool. I'm kidding. It's all bad. No, we have a great show for you today. We are reaching the point of no return on federal debt.

A very disturbing story about something that if you're my age, you've heard every president address. Well, there's going to come a time. We are now at that time. Point of no return. We'll talk about that coming up in just a second. Also, it was Transgender Visibility Day, as opposed to the other 364 days where they're invisible. I'm not sure what that means exactly. We're going to get into that.

Blank ballots were being brought out the worst April Fool's Day. I've ever heard. In fact, it is separated a mom and her daughter, and they're still not talking from last New Year's, or last April Fool's. We'll get to that here in just a second. Also, there's been another bridge accident with a boat. Okay, let's start there, shall we Pete Buttigieg in 60 seconds.

Rebecca writes in about her dog's experience with Rough Green. She says, I have an eight-month-old toy poodle. He's really a picky eater since he was three months old. I started adding rough greens to his dry food about a week ago. And success, he loves his food now. I can't believe how good the ingredients are, and I want my puppy to have a long, healthy life. Your product is amazing.

Thanks so much. Rebecca, thank you for writing in and giving your dog rough greens. When you say the ingredients are, what did you say? say I can't believe how good the ingredients are. We brought it before we started feeding Uno. We brought Rough Green's package to our vet and said, should we put this in? Do you see, is there any good, really good benefits of this? And she said, are you kidding me? This is great.

She said, if your dog will eat it, that's great. Well, my dog loves it. Rebecca's dog loves it. Most dogs do. It's like dog crack. The folks at Rough Greens are so confident that your dog is going to love it, They have a special deal. They'll give you a trial package for free. It's just a trial bag. You just pay for shipping.

But it's free. 833 Glenn 33. 833 G-L-E-N-N-33. Call today, roughgreens.com slash Beck. All right. So, um, my, my, my, my weekend, um, ended with some news from Oklahoma. That, um, an Oklahoma highway has. is reopened now following its closure for a few hours when a bridge over the Arkansas River was struck by a barge.

And I immediately thought, where in the world is Pete Buttigieg? And I thought about our conversation last week with Stu who said, you know, he's not saying that Pete Buttigieg did it. Oh, no. No, that would be insane. That would be insane. Yes, it would suggest that. It's just something that we should obviously. rule out as quickly as possible. Or people might start thinking that it's true. And if it's not true,

it should be easy to rule out. I will say, ever since we talked about this, people are sending me a lot of messages on social media every time that there's some sort of transportation-related catastrophe. And asking the question, hey, like, where was Pete Buttigieg when this was going on? So do you think, now I'm going to just, I'm just throwing this out, because I agree with you. nobody's going to ask him, hey, were you in Oklahoma? Right. You know what I mean? Nobody's going to ask him.

So what do you think? Could we just get an ankle bracelet on him? Just to keep trying. Why not? They're spying on Americans every day. You know? And I'm not going to spy on it. He'd know.

He'd know. That's fine. And we're just trying to rule it out. That you are, that, see, here's the problem. He should be in Oklahoma. But maybe today, not last weekend. Is it what I mean? Yeah, it's...

He doesn't seem to show up after. After. Right. So if he's not there after, maybe he's there before. And that's what you're trying to rule out. Traditionally, this is what a government official would do, right? Like, if there was a tragedy related to their particular job, they might show up to see the damage, to try to oversee some of the recovery, right?

it does some believe that he's maybe reversing that before it happens I would like to suggest to the White House that they have the Pete Buttigieg

Day of Visibility Oh yeah so we could just know where Where we see it You know what I mean Yeah There he is There he is

Okay good Know where he is Because it is You don't necessarily want Calamity Pete To be your No You're just your transportation secretary.

No, Calamity Pete. Yes, I think I'm concerned that we do have calamity Pete. And it's kind of the opposite of Calamity Jane who helped with fixing the calamities, preventing them. Yeah. He seems to be potentially, potentially causing them. Now, we don't know for sure. I think that's nuts. It would be over the top.

It would be over the top to believe that he. But I mean, again, this is a great example of what we talked about last week. We said, hey, just check his garage for scuba equipment. Right. after the whole Baltimore thing happened. You know, you wouldn't have thought that in the president's garage, there would be a box of papers. Right, next to the Corvette. You wouldn't think that that would happen.

So if we would have just listened to what we talked about, if they would have just listened to it and checked to see if there was scuba equipment, we would be able to rule out that he had the scuba equipment with him when this latest bridge was hit in Arkansas. Right. By another boat. Like, was he, you know, like, was he there with the scuba equipment? equipment again. We could say, well, obviously, not. We checked his garage. We checked throughout his house. He doesn't have any scuba equipment. So, no, it wasn't him. Now, here is the, here's the not insane part. He should be showing up to a lot of these things. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, in theory. Now, I would argue that would be bad because he, when he does show up to things, they seem to get worse, which is kind of my suspicion as to why maybe he's involved in some of them directly. Maybe he's there and he was just checking to make sure, but he's so inept, he causes the problem. It could be that. It could be that. I'm just kidding. Like, let's just check the travel locks. Like, when does he book the hotels for these cities? Is it, is it a month in advance? That would be weird. Right. If we just found out that he was on his Travelocity account, Like, you know, 14 days out and be like, hey, how did you know you needed to go? But that would be crazy.

That would be crazy. It would be easy to track and easy to disprove, but also crazy. He has been asked the all-important question, will you run for president? Well, we all know the Transportation Secretary to President pipeline has been very wide for a long time in American politics. Yes, yes, yes. And especially somebody who's doing such a bang-up job. And what I mean, when I say bang-up, I do mean. Hang up.

It is the best possible description of the job he's doing. It is. So he said no, it's a demanding job. And now that he's seen it firsthand, he just doesn't want to do that. So he's now claiming he's not interested. He's not interested. Because I was, I did think at the beginning when they gave him this gig, it was like, this idiot's going to take this job.

And once he gets it, there's no way he's going to become president because it's a joke. Like, it's like our joky job that we give to this guy. who, you know, we criticized him during the campaign because all he had ever done was fixed potholes and then we're getting the Transportation Secretary job. Like, it's like an inside joke against Pete Buttigieg. But now he's actually been so horrible at the job. Maybe he will become president because that seems to be how you do it on the Democratic side of the aisle. Well, he's getting serious now about Boeing.

Oh, really? Yes, he is. Here he is yesterday on Face the Nation. talking about the safety of Boeing. FAA has been putting Boeing under a microscope ever since this incident happened in January. And frankly, there were a lot of concerns about what the FAA administrator saw

in the course of those visits and the audit. He gave Boeing about 90 days to come up with a comprehensive plan to show that they're on the path to deliver the right kind of quality and safety. We're about 30 days into that. There are regular check-ins. And FAA is not going to allow Boeing to increase their production until they demonstrate that they can do it safely.

Okay. Yesterday, I had a good friend come up to me. And he said to me, Glenn, I can't take the news on Boeing anymore. And I said, Ron, why is that? And he said, well, you know, I was a pilot. And I said, that's right for American Airlines for years. He said, yes. So I kind of know something about the airline industry. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

And he said, aren't all planes that come from Boeing? Don't they receive a final check? Yes. Don't they also receive a final check from the government? When the plane comes in and before it flies, do they not certify that, yeah, that planes. Yeah. Now, whose job would that be? By the way, when you buy a plane and the screws are loose,

you'd think somebody that was signing off would be held responsible for, I didn't see the screws, right? Once a plane comes down, they have to check the plane. And if you saw some loose screws, then that would probably be, you know, the maintenance guy that was like, where's the maintenance guy that was supposed to check the screws? He said, also, we have a minimum requirement sheet. Like if the engine falls off, well, we have another one.

So we can still fly it to land it. Okay? He said, if like a door of a panel falls off, he said, we can still fly the plane. We can still fly the plane. He said, we have a little checklist. Like, if this goes wrong, that's trouble.

If a panel falls off, a panel falls off. We just adjust a little bit. We're fine. I mean, if you're on the ground, you might not be shrugging your shoulders as much. But yes, generally speaking, the plane can keep going. And he said, you know, panels from time to time will fall off.

He said, but what I'm thinking, is there's a problem with maintenance, which would be a problem with the unions, because nobody has personal pride of ownership anymore. And he said, so is it maintenance? Is it the press that is looking at all these things and don't understand that there's also a inspector that signs off on the plane. That's an interesting because I believe that brings us back to Pete Buttigieg. What a surprise. What a surprise. What a surprise. So is the theory basically that Boeing is getting unfair blame on this? Yes. Okay. I mean, I mean, it could be that they're,

I mean, he's not saying they're innocent. Right. But he is saying that they're getting way more than their share of blame for this. Because it's easy to point your fingers at them. Yeah, you've got a panel. You have to screw the panel back on. You're inside and doing something in maintenance with a panel. You've got to screw the panel back on. Right.

They didn't come with all the screws loose. Right. Right. That would be weird. You know, you check for screws. Yeah. You know, when you're on the ground doing maintenance, you kind of give it a once over. And then the inspector looks for those kinds of.

things. Now, obviously, part of this is because they had the issues with, you know, the one plane that they brought into, everyone was using, was it, this 777. Yeah. Yeah. That, on the, on the heels of that, right? But he said, he said those. He said, that doesn't make sense to him. And I didn't, he started talking, you know, airplane physics. And I don't think there's any physics that actually make a plane fly. It's too heavy. Could you even keep your eyes open during this? No, I did. I just didn't understand it.

Okay. So he said Boeing, he said for more fuel efficiency, he said, they're more powerful engines, and they lifted them so they didn't suck a bunch of stuff from the ground, okay? So they lifted them higher. He said, and when you go into a steeper incline, he said, that causes, I don't know what he called it, but a wobble that hits your, your tail, okay? and he said, we've trained for that for 50 years. He said, there's no, there is no excuse for an American pilot to have any problems with that.

And you adjust. Right. Right. Like these were foreign incidents. Correct. Right. Right. He said, so that's not, that's a training problem. That's not a Boeing problem.

That's a training problem. That's interesting. Well, I mean, it's not surprising that an institution would be taken down by the media, you know, maybe with a little bit of undeserved. Some, at least undeserved. I don't know. I don't know. I'd love to talk. If you're a pilot, I'd love to hear from you.

Does that make sense to you? Because I haven't heard anybody. I mean, I've been trashing Boeing because it breaks my heart. I grew up in the Seattle area. My family worked for Boeing. They were always proud of everything they did at Boeing. And what happened to them? What happened?

I also kind of want to know why is it only happening generally with United Airlines I mean that to me says not the plane but the maintenance I'd love to hear from you 888 727 BECK

by the way Barry Weiss is going to be joining us in about 10 minutes but first let me tell you about relief factor you wouldn't think this would be the case but it's awfully hard to go about your day as if everything is normal when you feel like somebody's

Let's play cut three here. This is Buttigieg. Do we have it? Cut three. Oh, sorry, cut six, please. Sorry. The FAA has been putting Boeing under a microscope ever since this incident happened in January. And frankly, there were a lot of concerns about what the FAA administrator saw in the course of those visits and in the audit. He gave Boeing about 90 days to come up with a comprehensive plan to show that they're on the path to the, the deliver the right kind of quality and safety. We're about 30 days into that. There are regular check-ins, and FAA is not going to allow Boeing to increase their production until they demonstrate that they can do it safely.

Well, that's a good, I mean, that's a good policy. That's a good policy. But is that really the fix? I don't know. I don't know. If you're a pilot, you know, I mean, professional pilot. I mean, not that you're, I'm an unprofessional pilot.

I mean, if you're currently a drunk pilot, please call us and let us know what flight you're about to get on. If you're a gaming pilot or just a really risky pilot, don't pick up the phone. This is one of those things where I feel that we're vulnerable. And this happens to the American people a lot. But like I feel like we sound like Glenn Beck discussing the middle relief situation for the Pittsburgh Pirates this year. Like, I have no idea. I have no clue. Right. Like, I can't decipher these things and you, and you try to get coverage from the media, right?

It's terrible. It's the same thing that they try to do during COVID, right? Like, they give you all these recommendations. And you're sitting there in a tough situation thinking yourself, well, what does this mean? I've never been through a pandemic before. What am I supposed to do? And it's like, well, they're like, well, you got to do this and this. You got to wear masks over your eyes and your ears and 14 of them over your mouth. And you're like, really? Like, and because we have no trust in these institutions anymore. I honestly don't really know where the problems why it is. Because we don't have trust in these in these institutions anymore, the next one could be Ebola. Right. And you'd be like, I'm not doing it. Right. Blood's coming out of my eyes. Yeah, like I think there's a

real danger into a lot. And I hear it from people all the time that are essentially just turned anti-medicine since all of this, which like is not the right response to it, but is also somewhat understandable, considering what we all just went through? And like, you look at something like this and like none of it makes any sense. The only thing that would tie it all together is that Pete Buttigieg is at each individual tragedy doing it himself. And that can't be the answer. So what is the answer? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. 888727BECK is the phone number. Barry Weiss is going to be with us in just a second. I was I was a little disappointing because I heard at first that we had Barry White on.

Oh, no. Which, yeah, that would be difficult these days. It would be difficult. Yeah. And I thought, wow, that'll be a big news story. Right. Barry White's going to be on with us, but it's Barry Weiss. Formerly of the New York Times, one of the bravest journalists out there and an actual journalist.

We're going to talk to her in just a second. So stand by for more of the Glad Big Program. You have to talk like this. when we're on with her? No, I don't think so. Good. It's intellectuals. He usually like to talk like this.

The founder and editor of the free press and host of the podcast, Honestly, before she was doing that, she was working for the New York Times as an opinion writer and editor at the New York Times. Before that, she was an op-ed and book review editor at the Wall Street Journal and senior editor at Tablet Magazine. There was a little dust up, and she decided to leave the New York Times. And she is probably the first major, wouldn't you say, first major journalist to walk and say, no, I can't.

I've had enough. I've had enough. I've had enough. It was a big turning point, I believe, in America. And she joins us now. Her name is Barry Weiss. Welcome, Barry. How are you?

I'm great. Thank you guys so much for having me on. You bet. Now, we know you're used to being on really smart shows. Yes. And this is not one of them. No. This is, we're wondering if we should talk to you like this.

I'll dumb myself way down. Okay, good. Good. All right, good. And you're at our level then. first of all, you are coming into town here in Dallas April 11th, and you're doing a series of debates because, you know, we should try that again.

You know, have people that are intellectuals on both sides actually debate things and then walk away without killing each other. Yeah, this is should the United States shut its borders, the America Debates series presented by the Free Press and Fire, Ann Coulter and Sorab Armani versus Nick Gillespie and Jank Weger. This is going to be great. Majestic Theater, Dallas, Texas, April 11th at 7 p.m. You guys are doing my job for me.

Well, you're welcome. That's the only thing we can do here at this intellectual program. The most important thing I can say is anyone who's listening, we'd love to see you there, and you can get tickets at vfp.com, like the free press, vfp.com slash debate. There's also an after party where you can hang out with me. I promise to be fun and not to New York intellectual and all of the, and the four people that the Jench just mentioned. But yeah, this is the first in a series of debates that we're hosting across 2024.

The premise being that, you know, Trump and Biden might not debate, probably won't, but we still believe in the virtue of civil debate. We still believe in an America where we solve our problems and get to the truth, not with our fists, but with our words. So we're doing a series of debates on issues that really matter to Americans, starting with immigration, and then tech, capitalism, and foreign policy. So we're really, really excited to come to Texas. So, Barry.

Do you really think we don't fight with our fists? I mean, it seems as though, unfortunately, and as I'd like to remind everyone, in the audience, I don't want to live like Haitians do. Haiti, not a good scenario. You don't want to live under barbecue's rooms? Well, that too. I was just thinking, I like law and order, you know. You like barbecue, too, but not that particular. Yeah. I am I am really concerned about what's coming this fall. Me too. Me too. I mean, I wish I had to. I wish I had to. something, there's not a smart, clever quip I have to say to that. I'm really, really concerned about the direction that this country is headed. I live in one of the blue cities. I imagine you guys

talk about in this program where the most basic expectations that you have as a taxpaying law-abiding citizen are not fulfilled. And I'm someone that has, forgive the word guys, but the privilege of being able to, you know, move my family, if God forbid, we needed to, where I could, you know, pay in my neighborhood, it's sort of South African, like people pay like a private security service because the cops simply don't show up if you call them. And, you know, that is an unsustainable situation. And, you know, it's quite shocking to me, you know, that the Democrats, you know, who, you know, say what you want about Trump, et cetera. But, you know, for those people who tend to vote Democrats, you know, They're just looking for a party that allows them to say what you see with your own eyes is true.

Things are not safe in the way that they ought to be, and we're going to make them better. I mean, it's such a simple proposition, and the fact that that's not what's on offer is really baffling to many of us. So, yeah, I find that interesting. They don't seem to react to actual conditions. and people. Yeah, politics. I mean, it's, it's a little disturbing because it's kind of like, what do you know that I don't know? Or are you that blind? And I don't know. Maybe blind or arrogant is the answer. Yeah, I mean, I think that there is just, as you both know, such an increasingly tiny bubble that a lot of the people in, you know, the political class and also

in many of our sense making institutions and have it. And that's a world in which, you know, you can go to a dinner party. This is a real life example that my wife experienced. And, you know, the majority of people think it's quite normal to suggest that they shouldn't have kids because of global warming. Now, that is just like in a different universe than what most Americans are thinking about, which is the price of their milk, the price of a roast chicken at the grocery store, the price of their gas, how much it costs to buy. a home and very, very basic things. Like, are we becoming more like Haiti or less?

And a lot of Americans, you know, are running toward the right because of those basic issues. So let me bring you back to the border here for a second. I cannot figure out the end game here because you have every, you have the Pentagon, you have the Department of Homeland Security. you have everybody saying all the lights are flashing red. We're at high alert. Well, if, God forbid, something happens, everyone will know that it most likely happened because we have an open border.

How does the, how do Democrats survive that? I mean, they're not. At least if you're looking at the polling and you believe that the polling is out. accurate and overwhelming number of Americans are listing immigration and specifically illegal immigration as the single most important issue in this election. That's pretty mind-blowing, considering that there's a lot of other issues that really matter. And this is one that's a choice where it doesn't need to matter. So, you know, it's from just a purely strategic perspective, politically. It's very, very baffling to me. And I have to say, especially, I'll put myself on the hook here,

you know, I am someone who is just very pro-immigration as a general rule. You know, like every American, I'm a descendant of immigrants, but in my case, more recently maybe than a lot of other people, given the Jewish expulsion out of Europe under Hitler. But, you know, after October 7th and watching, you know, what is possible, what can come, you know, what violence. You know, what violence and barbarism can come over, over what Israelis believed was an incredibly secure border. I am just looking at the issue in a very different way now, and I'm taking it personally a lot more seriously. And, you know, I can speak not on behalf of the Jewish community, but definitely on part of a lot of people I know that they're feeling similarly. I think that most people thought,

you know, most people coming over the border and perhaps it's still true, or seeking a better life. They're like my grandparents could be true. just we don't know. And the idea that, you know, we just don't know is, is bad enough. Can I ask you being, you know, an immigrant or immigrant family from, uh, from Europe? Yeah, I could be clear. I'm not an immigrant. It's just no, no, I know. You're your family. Um, yeah. Um, I was born and raised in Pittsburgh. Yeah. No, I know that. I'm sorry. I mean it. I told you you weren't on a smart. Um, but, you know, you probably, you know, I know you grew up hearing the stories, but probably never thought it would happen here. And now to have, to see what you're seeing on the streets, what does that

feel like? Really, really disorienting and alienating. You know, I grew up in such a proudly Jewish and proudly American family. I grew up in a family in which, you know, when things were said to me, I remember waiting for the school bus with my second sister. and a Catholic school bus drove by, and they called us kikes and dirty Jews. I never heard those words before. And the attitude on the part of my family was that's so embarrassing for them. They don't know that this is America. We don't do that here. And that was just the ethos that I grew up under. In other words, the ethos that, you know, the founders of this country were steeped in the Hebrew Bible that, you know, towns and cities across this country are called Shiloh and Canaan and, you know,

and all of the city and town names of the land of Israel. And, you know, Europe wasn't like that. This was a country not based in ethnic nationalism and blood and soil. We know how that ends up, but based in a set of ideas. You know, Benjamin Franklin wanted the image on this country's great seal to be Moses crossing the Red Sea. Abraham Lincoln called Americans the almost chosen people because he read his Bible. And not for nothing, his name was Abraham. You know, he was named for the very first Jew of all.

And so that was, I didn't even think of it as a worldview because that's how certain it was for me. And certain it was for, you know, at least the American, sort of the golden moment that I grew up in. And, you know, beginning about five years ago with the neo-Nazi massacre in the synagogue where I became a bat mitzah tree of life, that all started to shift. And, you know, on the one hand, it's the big picture, I think, is a story of ideas. And the truth is that, you know, America is based on them. And when we are loyal to those ideas, when we fight to renew those ideas, when we pass those ideas on to our children, this is a unbelievable place to live, not just for the Jewish community, but for every single minority and striver that has ever called America home. And when we abandon those ideas and when we give in to a set of ideas that pit us against each other, that suggest that America is not the last best hope on earth, but, you know, based on an ideology of white supremacy,

not really worth fighting for no better Glenn than a country like Haiti, that's when things start getting dark. And that's what we're starting to see here. You know, I don't know if you saw there was a viral image. of one of these groups. It feels silly to me to even say they're pro-Palestinian. No, they're anti-Israel. They're anti-Jewish and they're anti-American. They got up on stage at an Eastern mass screaming their hats off. What does that have to do with the war in Gaza? Like, what does any of this actually have to do with a tragic war that's happening 10,000 miles away in a place that most of these people can't locate on a map? They claim to be fighting for the lives of

innocent gons who are tragically dying in this war, but it's really about something much, much darker. I mean, you have the entire Middle East playing that game. They all say they care about Gaza. Then open your borders. The reason why they won't open their borders is they know that it is not about that. And every time they do open their borders, there's some sort of revolution that starts. I mean, if they truly cared, but they don't, they care about the destruction of Israel, not the people of Gaza. It might be. Yeah. And I just, you know, I think one of the things that's alarming for, it's not just Jews,

it's just anyone who reads history understands that societies where anti-Semitism is allowed to thrive are societies and regimes and cultures that are dead 100% of the time. Like when anti-Semitism is allowed to flourish, it means your society, that's the fight-alarm fire. And it's coming, you know, it's coming from the left and it's coming from the right too. And they are presenting themselves in really different ways, but at the same time. And it's obviously something that I'm thinking about and trying to fight with every fiber of my being. Barry, it is great to have you on. We're both big fans.

We listen to you. We admire what you have done. And hope to have you on again. Thank you. Thank you guys so much. I hope I dumped it down enough. I appreciate it. All right. Thank you. I'll see you guys in Texas.

You got it. The American debates from the free press. The first one is should the United States shut its borders, moderated by Barry, and you can get your tickets now at the F-P, T-H-E-F-P. Yeah, it's dot com. Check that out. It's going to be great. And the free press, by the way, too, Glenn, has brought up tons of these stories. If you remember Jennifer Say, the Levi's executive, we've had her a few times. They were the ones who broke

that story. They broke a ton of stories about cancel culture and all this other stuff. They've done a great job over the free press. Thefp.com. All right. Tunnel to towers. I want you to meet an American hero. U.S. Army Major Jonathan Turnbull. During a tour of duty, Major Turnbull

was severely injured during an attack from an ISIS suicide bomber. His left eye was completely lost. His right was punctured. After more than 20 surgeries and countless hours of painful rehabilitation. Thank God Jonathan Turnbull is still alive and well, but his life was completely changed. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation paid off his mortgage and gave him a specially adapted

smart home designed specifically for his needs. He moves around his house more easily now and with peace of mind that he definitely deserves after defending our country at such a high cost.

This is the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're here. We've got a, I have a few things to say about the, the transgender day of visibility. Yeah, I do. I do. Does that come as a shock to you?

Yeah, because I mean, I was surprised that, honestly, like, that they have a transgender day of visibility because really like recognizing that your transgender is not really a big problem for most people. Like we see right away. The visibility

is not the issue. That's not helpful. I'm just trying to be helpful. And it does. I mean, it is always you know, fallen on this day since I think 2009. But it is Easter. And so it

It didn't sit well with a lot of people, but we'll get into that next hour. Also, we have some pilots on the phone. I just want to know, is it Boeing? Is it United? Is it the mechanics? Is it Pete Buttigieg? Where does the problem lie? The Glenn Beck program.

day after Transvent Visibility Day, which is rolls off the, because I had

my, did you have your tree up yesterday? And I also decorated eggs, but in a very non-religious way. I didn't want to have any religious or offensive symbols on there, because I was hoping maybe the White House would display my egg. Oh my gosh, what happened to

us? We're going to talk about that. Also, I've got a bunch of pilots on because Pete Buttigieg said, we're going to put Boeing in a headlock, and I'm not sure that it is Boeing. I'm wondering, it is, is it the inspectors that are supposed to make sure all of the, you know, screws are tight or is it the airline and the mechanics? Because aren't they the ones

that when it lands, they're like, hey, that door looks like some screws are coming loose. Maybe, I mean, I mean, talk to pilots. 888727BECK, we go there in just a second first. Hey, you, yeah, talking to you, huh? You want me to show you

your worst enemy in the world is? I mean, you got a nice family, you know. It'd be a shame of something happen to that, huh? Take out your wallet, open it up. See the credit cards in there? Yeah. That's the enemy, kind of, kind of. The real enemy, the real enemy folks like this, eh?

Hey, I'm running the treasury, eh? And the Fed, bottoming! Joe Biden and his cronies have been running the economy through a meat grinder for years at this point. And by the time you bought groceries and gas, you get back and forth to work, I'm sure there's not a whole lot of money left for everything else. But every time you use your card, you're paying through the nose for the interest in it. And I know, I know, I know.

A little bit about the LGBTQ events that are seeming clogging the calendar just a little bit. But first, I want to take some calls from last hour we were mentioning that at a pilot friend coming to me yesterday and go, Glenn, this is not Boeing's fault. And his name was Ron Boeing, but no, he said it's not Boeing's fault. He said, I think it's the mechanics fault. And he explained why. But I wanted to hear from other airline pilots.

This guy was a pilot for, I don't even know, you know, 30 years, 40 years at American Airlines. And he knew what he was talking about. I couldn't translate what he was talking about. But I wanted to know if there were any pilots that agreed, whose fault is it? Is it Boeing? Is it the FAA and Pete Buttigieg, Secretary of Transportation? is it the airline, is it the mechanics? Michael in Kansas, you're a pilot.

That's correct, I am. Okay. Whose fault is it? I'm a retired captain with United. Okay. You know, it's an issue. I think your American friend was on target. I think your analysis is pretty good too as far as,

I think it's just, you know, sloppiness. I've got some friends that are retired. Boeing actually. And they said, you know, sometimes when they would see things wrong, they would, you know, raise a flag and say, hey, I saw this or that, whatever, and they were kind of ignored. You know, and we had this whistleblower here while back, you know, that was found dead in his car for what for the reason.

You know, so, but there's things, there are just some things like that that, there's an awful lot going on. I mean, a lot of airplanes out there. There's a lot of, you know, things wearing out, what have you like that, whether they're new or not. they're putting a lot of hours on these things. And they do need some good scrutiny. And I think it just falls through the cracks.

But I don't think it's Boeing, you know, whether it's a lack of leadership at the top on the federal end to put the focus in the correct place or exactly what's going on there. But obviously we've got a problem. He was telling me about the, what is it, the 777 max? and he said that problem is caused when you are coming up at a sharp angle. He said it'll cause some sort of a wind turbulence on the tail. And he said, in America, we trained for that. Right.

Right? Yeah, exactly. And I think, and like you said, the accidents that have happened, especially like with the 737 max, I think that was 100% training. How come we haven't heard that? or lack thereof. I don't know. Third World country, you don't want to make them look bad?

I don't know. Wow. Instead, we'll blame everything on Boeing and make it look like it's like Boeing has gone bad. I mean, everything I've seen from the news has made Boeing look bad. And it wasn't until I started noticing, no, it's a lot of United planes that are having a problem. that made me think, well, maybe it's the culture at United or it's the mechanics on the ground. Well, you know, whether exactly, you know,

it probably is somewhat of the culture, whether it's the DDI type culture, I couldn't honestly say. But there is a, there's certainly a culture that lead you away from, you know, perfection. All right. Thank you so much, Michael. I appreciate it.

In Florida, we go to Robert. Hi, Robert. You were a former airline captain or pilot? No, no, no, Glenn. Good morning. And no, I'm a former mechanic out of the Air Force. Ah, okay. I know this stuff a little bit.

And there's a mechanic's fault. It's also the government and then the airline. If you really think about it, that's where you take it that one step further. The FAA issues a license to the mechanic. If the mechanic does something wrong, it's supposed to be on him as far as getting that license taken away, and if they're not doing that, they're just letting it slide, that's a problem. Like, I won't get on an airplane right now. Yeah, it's an interesting, it's an interesting time to fly, where you kind of like,

we're pretty sure we'll get you there. Yeah. Where we were, you mean on time? No, we're just pretty sure we'll get you there. I feel great that I have several flights scheduled next week, and mechanics are calling me up and saying, hey, don't get on flights. Great. Thanks a lot, Robert. Dawn in Tennessee.

Hello, Don. Yeah, I agree with your previous. A mechanic, and he's correct. So these guys get airframe and power plant licenses from the FAA and through a lot of experience, you know, to get those tickets to learn how to work on airplanes. And I agree with them. I think it's complacency.

And I also think it's the airlines probably trying to get those airplanes back up in the air as soon as possible, you know, because they got, you know, routes that they got to fly. And these guys are probably under pressure to fix those airplanes as fast as possible and quality is slipping through the cracks. So, Don, why is Boeing getting the blame? Well, Boeing, because they're every, because they're their manufacturer. They're the ones who actually created the airplane. But as your previous caller said, once that, once Boeing, delivers the airplane to united delta america and whoever it's on the airline at that point um i don't know why boeing is i mean they're they're the one that's easy to pick on they're the

person who uh built the airplane but all those big maintenance hangers at dallas fort worth for america and delta and atlanta right those are all those are all delta employees and they're the ones who are uh fixing those airplanes um i think when it goes back to the manufacturers when you have have problems that reoccur. You know, you have trends. If you see the same thing happening over and over and over again, then you go back and say, okay, we didn't do a trend analysis. But these are isolated stuff. The wheels falling off, a door coming loose, stupid things like that. That's sloppy maintenance, I think, on the mechanic side. And that's an airline issue, which is what your friend told you.

Thank you so much, Don. John in Pennsylvania. Hello, John. Hi, Glenn. Hi. Are you a pilot, a mechanic? What are you? I'm sorry, a retired pilot, retired five years at a regional airline level, and then I spent my last three and a half years at American Airlines. Okay.

I'm agreeing with all the other pilots that have spoken, and it basically gets down to the floor of the maintenance hanger as to the workers that are doing the work, and these guys are certified, the mechanics are certified, and it goes to a certification project, Once the work is done, sign off on the maintenance issues and everything else. To say that it's an airline fault, it is true about trying to get the airplanes back and can be rushed on that. Right. To blame Boeing, but to blame Boeing, I can't blame Boeing. And the MCAS system, which is what people are talking about with the incidents with a lion air

Yeah. 737 max, you know, that that was a system that domestic airlines, the United States, none of our airlines ever had any issues with that system and or fatalities associated with it.

John, thank you so much. It is crazy. That's exactly what my friend said. You know, you thought, how could Boeing design an airline, an airplane,

and have it that far out of whack that when you started to lift, it would fail on you? and my friend said yesterday that that's because they're not trained he said in america we train that is something he said we've been training for 50 years on that and he said it's not hard to correct you just have to know so why is Boeing getting that rap remember they went through the software and everything else no it was the pilots weren't trained. That's nuts. That's not. I mean, is somebody trying to kill Boeing? I mean, and every

piece of the administration is echoing this. We played the Buttigieg clip earlier, but like, it's all focus on Boeing and how bad Boeing is. Right. I haven't heard anything about the mechanics. I've heard people bring up United, and I think United is responsible for the mechanics. Right. Sure, sure. But, you know, you don't hear any of that. That is weird, because especially, because of how vitally important Boeing is to our economy. This is not just some little fly-by-night operation that they get taken down and they are losing ground against their competitors, which they're only a couple. Let's go to Line 11 and Jeff in Michigan. Hello, Jeff.

Hello, how you doing? Very good. How are you? All right. I think it's a multi-blame. Boeing on the design, M-CAS is that was a Boeing design. I'm an aerospace engineer in addition to being a retired airline pilot. You go and look at that. The way they designed it, they shortcut stuff to save money.

But once it gets to the airline and you have the things like falling off airplanes, then it becomes a maintenance issue. And that's where the blame lies. But the bottom line is it's all about money. MCAS was designed so that they could save money and getting away with introducing a new airplane as a derivative rather than having to get it completely certified with the new engines that were set on it because they'd have to raise the airplane up so they'd have to put on new gear, maybe a new wing, so they shortcut that.

And then in production, you know, with the holes and that they filled up with the door plugs, that sort of thing, that's a production issue. Again, saving money, they outsource it, and so it's not done as well as it should be. But once you get to the airlines, there's a very thin line between profit and loss with that. So they're short-cut things to try and get stuff done as well. Is the FAA or, I don't know, is the FAA under the Secretary of Transportation, I would assume it is, Is the FAA responsible for certifying any of this stuff? Oh, yeah. FAA is done.

I worked for ALPA safety for a long time. The airline, I call it the Airline Pirates Association now for another reason. But they have a schizophrenic mission. They have to promote flying at the same time that they're enforcing rules. And so they're kind of get pulled in two different directions when they're doing this. And if you don't have the proper administrator over it, making sure that they're doing both jobs, then you run the problems. All right, Jeff, thank you so much. But doesn't that sound like we would maybe not have the right person in the federal position of like, hey, you got to get the planes up, but you also got to make sure that they're.

safe, you know, for some reason, I don't have a lot of confidence in the leadership of this administration. No? No. I know. It's just probably, it's just probably me. It's fascinating. This is, I've been thinking a lot about this because I'm, I'm mentioning going on flights next week. I'm working on a documentary for Blaze Originals about air traffic control and the changes that have been going on within it. And they're not comforting. It doesn't, they're like, hey, can you take a flight to do this interview? No, I'll drive. Wait, I've done all this research and it shows that this is really not a good plan. And now you want me to fly there? No. All right, let me tell you about the burner launcher. Best part of an April Fool's joke is the fact that you've got to take it

back in the end. Now, imagine you're in a situation where the heat of the moment is past, person is dead, and you have to ask yourself, was there another way? Sometimes there isn't another way. You've got to protect yourself and your family, and it means you have to be willing to shoot and shoot to kill. But what about the times when you don't need to take that far? There are a lot of more of those situations than the I got to kill you situations. The burner launcher is a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home

that will send potential threats running in the opposite direction. It's legal in all 50 states, no permits or background checks required. It can be used by all age groups over 18. The burn a launcher has powerful deterrence like tear gas and kinetic rounds with a 60-foot range. It also can incapacitate an attacker up to 40 minutes. That's enough time for the police to get air. I mean, with the exception of New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Seattle. Okay, well, it works in a lot of cities.

Let's take line one, Haas, in Texas. Of course he's in Texas. Hello, Hoss. Yeah, that was my call sign. Yeah, I've honored to speak to you and Stu.

Thank you. I think you're missing the one obvious comment denominator, and that's the union. Any work has to be, not once it's done, it has to be signed off by supervisor. All those logs are there. They've covered it all up. And to give you a specific instance, I was sitting alert in Holland and got launched off. And one of the checks I did, it wasn't even a required check, is checking my fuel. I only had a half load.

So we had to cancel. That makes the wing look bad. They have to file that report. They fired the entire crew because they didn't put the amount of fuel on and it's easy to check. But it just goes back to, I think, this whole situation where I don't care if it's Boeing, I don't care if it's United. Once any work's done before it can go back, any airframe can go back into service. You have to have supervisor. And in the Air Force, there was actually three different levels, depending on how cold.

critical the system was. Haas, thank you very much. Wait, Haas, do you think that Pete Buttigieg was there? I would suspect I would look into Wheelwell. Yes, he's so small. He can totally fit in there. Yeah. Steve, Steve in Tennessee. Hello, Steve. Steve.

Hey, yeah. I was saying that it's pretty admirable that the mechanics were trying to take the blame. They are a final inspection point to make sure that everything's done correctly. But quite honestly, I think everything starts at the top. You know, Pete Buttigieg, as soon as he took office, he wanted to make sure that they changed what used to be called notices to airmen to notices to air missions. And then he changed what was called the Airman's Information Manual to the Aviation Information Information Manual.

Who cares if it's Airman or Aviation? And those things are referred to as aim and note them. But no, you can't see notam anymore. You have to say notices to air missions. Who cares? So these guys, you're going to be inspecting. What are they going to be inspecting? They're going to be inspecting pronouns.

Are they going to be inspecting whether or not they tighten the bolt tight enough? Wow. So what's going to be the metric they're going to decide that they can start making more airplanes? You know, I'm just tired of seeing where these people who are at the top just, just refuse to take responsibility and pass it on to the lower people. And like I say, it's admirable to the mechanics are trying to take that responsibility, and they do have that responsibility. But it started when they wanted to say, are we hiring the right color,

are we hiring the right pronoun or way? And that's got to stop. Thank you so much. Steve, appreciate it. 8-8-727-B-E-C-K talking about pronouns. We've, well, we have a, well, it wasn't exactly an Easter celebration yesterday. The bunny was not visible unless he was a trans bunny. Trans bunnies were visible yesterday.

I've got a few things to say about this. Coming up in just a second, stand by. Every Thursday in Israel, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews delivers 10 bomb shelters. every Thursday. They're putting them in places like bus stops where children get on the bus and go to school. If there's a rocket attack, these shelters provide a safe place for those children and others to go. They're vitally important, especially in the north where the fight continues against Hezbollah now. The shelters cost $15,000 a piece and Israel needs $170 of them. That works out to $2.5 million. However, there is somebody in the audience that is giving a matching

donation. So we only have to raise, what, a million in a quarter. I know it's still a lot of money, but through God's grace and with your love and his love, this audience has worked miracles before. This one, with Israel under attack, may I suggest this is a way to find favor in the Lord's eyes. Any donation will help Israel in this time of real struggle. If you're able to to sponsor one of the shelters please do otherwise anything counts support ifcj.org that's support ifcj dot org so joe biden released a proclamation on friday and i want to make sure that everybody understands that the transgender day of visibility has been you know a thing since like 2009 this year it fell on easter but i think that's why more people

paid attention to it. You know, I don't really care any given Sunday. You want to have whatever. On transgender day of visibility, we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our nation's commitment to forming a more perfect union, where all people created equal and treated equally throughout their lives. I'm proud to say my administration has stood for justice from the start, working to ensure that the LGBTQI, where's the A?

Lus community can live openly, safely, and with dignity and respect. I am proud to have appointed transgender leaders to my administration. Serving openly in our military. I got a problem with that. I just, I do. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You can, that's cool.

You know, you want to, but I'm sorry, General. Wear pants. Wear pants. I'm proud to have signed historic executive orders to strengthen civil rights protection in housing, employment, health care, education, justice system, and more. I'm proud to have signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law, ensuring that every American can marry the person they love because love wins.

So his administration is working to stop the bullying and harassment of transgender children. Who now? Who now transgendered children? Children. No, no, Glenn, that is a right-wing conspiracy theory. They're not trying to do that to our kids. That's not something that even exists. It's just a made-up fever dream of the right. That's in the proclamation.

The Department of Justice take action to push back against extreme and un-American state laws targeting transgender youth and their families. And the Department of Justice is partnering with law enforcement and community groups to combat hate and violence. You know what he's talking about? Is families that say, no, you can't just take my child and give them a sex change. That's his idea of justice. Today we send a message to all transgender Americans.

You are loved. You are heard. You're understood. You belong. You're America. My entire administration and I have your back. Okay. Now, the problem is.

is that it was on Easter. And it's not like this whole transgender thing falling on Easter this year was a surprise to Jesus. You know what I mean? He wasn't surprised by it. I think we were maybe surprised by it. We're like, what? Jesus was like, yeah, dummy, didn't see this coming? I mean, seen this coming.

Read about it in my book. but so he wasn't surprised and honestly um the people who are destroying universal truths of gender they're not an enemy of ours they're not they are an enemy of god's laws and it's for him to work out because he's not surprised by any of this he's not I was it was weird because it must have been brought up to me over the weekend just in my family like four different times

Dad did you hear what Joe Biden did yes I did let's celebrate Easter I mean I feel sorry for people who are trapped in their bodies you know they feel trapped in their bodies that is a horrible

horrible way to go through life. But even Caitlin Jenner condemned the pronouncement. She said the international Transgender Day of Visibility created March 2009, continued to be celebrated, blah, blah, blah.

I am absolutely disgusted that Joe Biden has declared the most holy of holy days as self-proclaimed devout Catholic as trans, Gender Day of Visibility. The only thing you should be declaring on this day is he is risen. That's Caitlin Jenner.

Yeah. And so, I know you've included some of this context earlier in the show. I guess they apparently started Transgender of Visibility Day back in like the late 2000s. Yeah, and Easter changes. It's on this day. It's on March 31st every year. So occasionally, which has happened, I think once before since this thing started, it falls on the same day as Easter.

So it wasn't Biden saying, declaring this day. I want, you know. No, I know, but didn't he do this on like Thanksgiving? Wasn't there a transgender day of visibility? There's 150 of them. There are 28 related hall. 28 international asexuality day. Ooh, that's good.

International Day of Pink, Day of Silence. Harvey Milk Day. Pansexual and Pan-Romantic Awareness Day. International Drag Day. Pan-romantic Day? Pan-romantic day? What is it? Pan-Romantic? So you're... Wait, who's a... You're pan-romantic. You're romantic with any gender, but not sexually attracted?

Like, you're just going out to... You're just... Hey, still. Can I buy you a drink tonight? Yeah. Nothing sexual. Nothing sexual at all. We're just going to have a nice romantic dinner. I like that. There's also entire months.

devoted to LGBT causes, including Pride Month in June, LGBT History Month in October, transgender awareness month in November. You get a transgender awareness month and a visibility day? I mean, George Washington can't even have his own birthday. They're combining them for our founders and going the opposite way. This is crazy. You know what?

Let me tell you something. if you're LGBTQIA plus and Jewish, you never have to work a day in your life. Every day is a holiday. You combine Jewish holidays with all of the LGBTQ holidays. I never see you at work. Never. That's true.

There would be no days to work. There would be none left. There would be nothing left. There would be nothing left. I think you have like three days. maybe in February. But that's it. That's incredible.

And the funny thing is they at one point asked the quote unquote founder of Transvisibility Day why they'll put they because I just don't know which way it went. What do you mean by that? Yeah. Why they put it in this time period. It was because they needed to avoid all the other trans days. That was like the reason why it wasn't a target of Easter in theory. At least that's what their claim was. it was, I believe that.

It was just like, there's too many other days. If we make it a month later, it's too close to trans awareness month or whatever else is on the schedule. I mean, just dissecting the calendar. I mean, you could put the rainbow on the White House, but could you have made them a little more pastelish? So you could also have those an Easter rainbow. My favorite part was they, the people who were pushing back against this. Because, you know, I will say some on the right initially, who the hell would know the history of Transvisibility Day? So initially they were like, oh, she's...

People on the right were assuming with, I think, good suspicion here, rational suspicion that Joe Biden just created this day and put it on Easter, which I would not put it past them at all to do that. So when people are going by that, some people were pushing back and saying, actually, this isn't Joe Biden doing this. and of course Joe Biden loves Easter. As you know, he's a devout Catholic. And look, by the way, at the White House site, the Easter bunny's right on the site. They put the Easter bunny right on the site. Not the Easter bunny.

Yeah. And if they didn't like Easter, they wouldn't put the Easter bunny on the site. Guys, that's not the Easter we're talking about. That's not the one we're concerned about. It's not the Easter bunny kind of Easter we're complaining about here. Right. We know they do it. He probably only cares about the Easter.

Easter Bunny Easter because all the good union jobs at Hershey. The pork, the fine folks in Cadbury, I need them to vote for me. We all remember they do the egg roll, right? We all remember Joe Biden does the Easter egg hunt thing at the White House because remember the Easter Bunny had to pull them away from reporters who were asking them questions last time. No, no, no, that was two times ago. Last time it was the transgender and gay people lifting up. Right, going topless, yes.

So we've got a great Easter tradition happening at the White House. How could you possibly think he wouldn't honor Easter after all of that? Why would you be suspicious? You know, Cardinal Wilton Gregory came out. He was on Face the Nation. And they were like, so he says he's a Catholic. And the Cardinal's like, yeah, no. No, cafeteria Catholic, which isn't really a Catholic.

Gaveteria Catholic is like, I'm going to have some of that and maybe a little bit of not that, not that, none of that. And he picks and chooses. I mean, I don't understand how these people can say they're Catholic when, you know, they're for abortion. Do you know that it was the Catholics that have led the way on the pro-life thing from the beginning? The other religions didn't seem to care all that much. For years, it was just the Catholics. You know, the, I mean, the homosexual thing, I guess it was cool with priests for a while, but not for anybody else. How, how, how is that man a Catholic?

I think many Catholics would argue he's not. And I've made that argument publicly. But see, that doesn't work because I ask every day the same question, how is this man president? And many would argue he's not. But still, he keeps staying in there. So I guess I don't know. Maybe we don't know how this works. All right.

You ever find yourself taking a long look around to your house and think, gosh, we've got to sell this place and move? But then having the follow-up thought, yeah. But that's a lot of trouble. Because it is a lot of trouble. One of the most important things I learned along the way in my life is you need a really good, competent real estate agent. somebody that you can trust, somebody that understands what you're looking for, somebody who listens to you, but also somebody that has a Rolodex full of the right people that it's going to take, the inspectors, the appraisers, the home repair contractors, the photographers, all of it.

Real estate agents I trust dedicated 100% to pairing you up with a real estate agent that you can trust through the whole process, Whether you're buying, selling, or just have questions, we've been helping this audience for over 10 years and billions in sales. Real Estateagents.I trust.com. The name says it all. Real estate agents I trust.com. The following content identifies as a commercial. Isn't that lovely? The Glenn Beck program will be right back. So let's see what else happened over the weekend on Transgender Day of Visibility. Let's see. Trailer full of Bibles set on fire outside of a conservative Tennessee church Easter Sunday. About 6 o'clock. Somebody blocked the intersection right there by the church. And it was a trailer containing Bibles. And then they set all the Bibles on fire, which is interesting. Very interesting. You know, they're not doing that with the Koran.

just the Bible, just the Bible, so you don't have to worry. Now, in Arizona, apparently the mayor of San Luis, Arizona told Manuel Castro, he's the pastor of the church there, the Baptist church there. He apparently has been serving the poor and the indigent there for about 25 years. Then the new mayor came in and he said, yeah, the delivery trucks and the food storage and everything else, it's really, you're really in violation of code. And he's like, we've been doing this for about 25 years. What are you talking about? Now you're a violation of code. So hit him with two citations.

He said the police told him, if we have to come and give you a third citation, you're going to. jail. So now he's got to close his church. He's been doing this for again, 23 years, no complaints. He says, suddenly the city became hostile. What was it? Michelle Obama said, I'm trying to remember. And Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices. We're going to have to change our conversation. We're going to have to change our traditions, our history. We're going to have to move into a different place. Fascinating to me as a person who plays that clip often and remembers it so succinctly and so clearly

as the very important moment in our history would bet me $4,000 that she's going to be the nominee. I thought it was $3,000. Was it three? It was three. You trying to back out of thousands of dollars now? No, no, no, no.

It was three. We started with two, him once. Well, we started with one and then you have to me twice to three and then you have me again, I think, to four. But whatever. We can track this down on the transcripts. No need to argue about it. But you think that they're going to be like putting her up there

as the nominee. And actually, I actually think I should pay you today. I'm not going to. You can. I'll let you out of it for three today. We don't have to argue about the extra thousand. You can pay me $3,000. There is no extra thousand. We just discussed. It's been on national radio. I heard it on national radio. They said 4,000. But I just, I, I don't know what their strategy is.

I think their strategy is chaos. I really do. And this, you know, executive order that they won't tell Congress what's in it. You know, the executive order. All hands on deck. Let's get everybody registered to vote. Yeah, that's, that's, that's, that's kind of disturbing. Kind of disturbing. Coming from them. You know, it sounds so great, register people to vote. Coming from them, it's a bit disconcerting. It is. It is. It is. So you're actually off the bandwagon of Michelle Obama's.

I am today. Today you are. Because I'll let you out of it. 29.50. I'll let you out of it right now. You save $50. No. Or maybe $1,000.

So, wouldn't it be crazy if I got out of it and then she did? By the way, some good news. 7,000 adults were baptized yesterday in France of all places. they are seeing off the charts numbers of people starting to go to church and say, you know, there's got to be some sort of a higher power and getting baptized in France. No stranger thing has happened. The Glenn Beck Program. Look, Air Canada, does a sold world.

Super, an offer for the assort. Station thermal, volcano. Parlant of volcanoes. You've seen the price for the Japan? Mmm, Eparg and sushi. Wow, the solds are good for Mayork also.

We could go to the plage and make a roundone. Or it would like a long march on the border of the sea-il. Mmm,

I adore the canolies. Wait, this sold is dinsury limited. Reserved to air canada.com or at your agent of voyage. The conditions

can't apply. Well, I got some happy news, some really happy news. On Wednesday, it looks like there's going to be a showdown

at the Disney sharehold meaning and it couldn't happen to a nicer group of people. It really couldn't. I love the Disney Folk. The people who have taken Walt Disney and just took all of his dreams and just shred them, put them in the shredder. Really, seriously, I'd hate to see them all lose their jobs.

But we'll see. We'll see what happens. Daniel Cameron is with us. He is the former Attorney General of Kentucky. He is now the CEO of 1792 Exchange. up on the Disney Challenge. We're going to talk to him in 60 seconds first. In case you haven't looked out the window lately and see all the people running around with their hair on fire, our country is in a, well, a weird and dangerous place right now.

Inflation is crazy and about to get crazier, driving the price of goods and services through the roof. But it's especially troublesome if you're trying to put away some emergency food. That could be a real problem. That's what's great about my Patriots apply. They have helped millions of Americans prepare for whatever might come their way. And many of them start with a three-month emergency food kit, which are $200 off the regular price right now. There are 22 food and drink varieties.

And we're doing that like crazy. Stock up now. Mypatriotsupply.com. Daniel Cameron, former Attorney General of the great state of Kentucky, now the CEO of 1792 Exchange. Daniel, how are you? I'm doing well, Glenn. How are you? Thank you so much for having me all.

Oh, you bet. You bet. So talk to me about what's happening at Disney. Well, look, as your listeners probably know, Disney is in a big proxy fight now as it relates to who will ultimately sit on their board. And this is all coming to a head because, in my theory of the case, is that because Disney got into some of these political agendas a couple of years ago in Florida, they've taken their eye off the ball. And so whether it's Bob Eiger or their current iteration of their board, those folks have shown and demonstrated that they're more concerned about political agendas as opposed to producing a good product. And so there's another group that is namely led by Nelson Peltz that wants to shift the strategy of that board. A lot of this has to do with succession planning, if you will, and whether Disney is going to continue to have a focus on high quality product and customer service. Or are they going to focus on these partisan political agendas? And at 1792 Exchange, I want your listeners to know that in the coming days,

We're actually going to share information on board members in a way that people can understand why boards are making some of the decisions that they are making. Again, that's 1792 Exchange.com. That information will be forthcoming. Again, it's to help listeners of this program know why are boards doing what they're doing. Why did Disney engage against Ron DeSantis, Governor DeSantis in Florida, on a very responsible bill to protect our children. Why did Disney come out against that?

Who's driving those decisions? That's what 1792 Exchange wants to explore. That's what we want your listeners to understand. And I know, again, your listeners are concerned about this because they're concerned about the very fabric and foundation of this country. Who we are is a country. What are our businesses engaging in? Are they engaging in, again, creating those high-quality products?

Are they in the business of business, as President Calvin Coolidge talked about? Or are they about partisan political agendas? So, you know, when you look at the direction of Disney, I can't believe it went on this long because I've never seen a brand flushed down the toilet faster than Disney. That was an untouchable brand of trust. And I think that trust is gone. Can they save it? Glenn, I think your analysis is correct.

There has been certainly over the last few years, a shift in mindset by Disney to not focus on making Disney the happiest place on the world. and providing and producing good family content that folks can gather around and just watch on a Friday night as a family or go to a park and just enjoy time at a park and, you know, ride some rides and have a good time. They have injected themselves into political debates and injected themselves in a way that in many ways sort of skews against traditional debates. traditional values. And when people go to a park, you know, they want to have a good time. They don't want to have an agenda pushed on them. But unfortunately, Disney has gotten into that world. And because of it, their shareholders have suffered. I mean, if you look over the last few years, the S&P 500, just as a whole, has been performing better than the share price

of Disney. And I have to believe it's because the credibility of their brand. And I have to believe it's because the credibility of their brand has been harmed by the fact that they've engaged in these political, ideological fights that they frankly should just stay out of. You know, Glenn, you know that Michael Jordan in the 90s said something to this effect. He said, you know, Republicans buy shoes too. What he was trying to say is that as an entity, as a business, as an organization, we shouldn't be engaged in in getting into the middle of policy debates that the legislatures, that the representatives of their states need to make decisions on.

Businesses shouldn't be in that. And that's what 1792 exchanges about. We want to make sure that businesses get back to the business of business. It now seems like a novel idea to say that. But most Americans, most citizens recognize that our companies need to be about, particularly our public-facing entities need to be about the return on investment to the shareholders, need to be about producing those high-quality products, and they've got to stay out of these political agendas, especially when those political agendas largely are being driven by

the far-left or the human rights campaign that is in many ways underwriting these extremist agendas that are hurting the fabric of our country. I have to tell you, it's such a great job in service that 1792 Exchange does. In case you've never been there, you should go. They rate all of the companies. I mean, how many companies are up now? Do you know? We've got over, yeah, Glenn, we've got over 2,500 companies.

Thank you for saying that. And our flagship product is what we call the corporate bias rating. And so, Glenn, as you've noted, It basically tells your listener, if you go to 1792 Exchange.com, you can go on there, find our corporate bias rating, our CBR for short, and it will rate a company. If the human rights campaign, for instance, tells you the more woke you are, the better, what we say as a counter is that, no, the more woke you are, it's actually making, it's hurting your company, and it's hurting ultimately the consumer, because what the consumer cares

about, again, is that high-quality product. They want a product that is good. And so if you are in the product of making, or if you're in the business of making really good consumer products, that's what you need to focus on. And unfortunately, we've seen a lot of companies that have been, they've been taken over by an extremist element or a far-left element. They've shifted their mindset and what they are focused on such that the product is suffering, that the return on investment to the shareholder is suffering. And that cannot continue. If we want to continue to be that shining city on a hill, we want to continue to provide opportunity and build the best equipment and provide the best services. And our businesses have to reorient themselves and get

focused again on remaining neutral and at the end of the day producing that high quality product that every consumer, again, your listeners, your families care about. Do you think that people are, the companies are starting to change and learn their lesson yet? Glenn, I think so because, again, whether you're talking about it, if other publications are talking about, other commentators are talking about. talking about it, this stuff is getting into the national conversation and dialogue. And now people are starting to wake up to it and they realize that companies aren't focused on their primary business. They're focused on political agendas that benefit the far left.

And as more people know about this, the more it's going to have an effect on pushing back against these companies and getting our companies back to neutral and back to what they should be about, which is, again, working hard to produce good products. So, Daniel, you were an attorney general, so you might be able to wing. I'm sorry, this is a little unfair to just spring this on you, but do you know anything about Allstate and, or was it Allstate or Farmers? I think it was Allstate that just pulled out of California and said, you know, we're in, I think they left maybe 60,000 customers.

there, canceled everything else and just said, too expensive, not going to do it. I'm really worried about the banks and the insurance companies, because the insurance companies and the banks can make business impossible to do if they don't allow you to open bank accounts or they de-person you. And the same thing with insurance companies, if they decide to make guns a giant risk, and you're not going to be able to afford to have one. You know, that's something in 1792 exchange we think a lot about and going, you're very right to bring it up. I mean, this whole idea of debanking, meaning that a bank, because you're in a, what, you know, what could, what they might

describe as an industry that they don't want to deal with, whether it's, it's guns or, you know, other areas that pertain to our constitutional rights. If, if you are a, Christian entity or Christian organization and they don't like that about you. You know, the threat of debanking is real. And we deal with with folks that have that concern. It is a major consideration. And again, it's one of the reasons 1792 exchange exists. It's because we want, we want consumers. We want Christian business owners. We want folks in the gun industry to understand who are the best banks, the best insurance companies to do business with based on the idea that you won't be canceled because you're in the gun industry or because you're Christian or religiously

affiliated. So this is a big issue. It touches on our constitutional rights. And so we have to stand up as the Attorney General of Kentucky. I was often in the position of defending constitutional rights. It's one of the reasons I love being at 1792 Exchange because we continue to do that work and walk alongside allies to protect the religious expression and freedom of expression of people that is enshrine within our First Amendment and protect the Second Amendment and our gun rights by making sure that we're holding accountable these insurance companies and banks so that they do not cancel the folks that are protected by the First Amendment and our Second Amendment. Daniel, thank you so much.

It's Daniel Cameron on Disney, what's coming on Disney and also 1792 Exchange. You can find all the information on Disney. I would imagine it's in your spotlight bias reports. Is that where it's going to come out, Daniel? Yeah, look, yeah. So, look, April 3rd is when the big shareholder meeting is for Disney. we are going to be spotlighting some of the board folks that are involved in the board decisions at Disney.

You were just, I'm not required to listen to the show. You find anything that you thought was surprising or interesting? This is the way to buy stuff and also, you know, before you hire a company to work with you, just go to 1792 exchange and just go, oh. Yeah, I was kind of surprised at how thorough it was. Honestly, there's a lot of, there's a lot of companies they went through, something like 63 pages of different companies, 61 pages of different companies. And the search on them is thorough too. Yeah.

Exactly who's on their board. What are they doing? ESG, all of it. Yeah, and it's also not just like, Budweiser! And you're like, okay, I heard about that one in the news. It's like a bunch of companies I haven't even heard of that probably people do millions of dollars of, business contracting with all the time, and you can kind of get a good sense of who they are when they're not necessarily making the news every day. So yeah, it's a really valuable resource.

All right. Let's see. What else do we have on our plate? Oh, how much time do we have here, Sarah? Two and a half. I found something that, you know, we just don't. We don't think. think long-term anymore, ever. We just seem to, I don't know, do what's right for the day. I found something in an old, old, old, old book that I want to share with you in a minute, that I think is, I don't know, it just struck me. I read it and I thought, where are these people? Do they exist anymore? And I think, think they do, but I'm not sure they do in the big cities. The people who are thinking the way Americans used to think, it's from a poem, from a book,

the best loved poems of the American people. What's amazing is, I'm reading it. It's an old book. It was edited by the New York Times. And you think of the New York Times now. And then they're putting together, there's a whole chapter on being an American that is unbelievable, unbelievable, how times have changed and how we have just lost our way in so many ways. We'll give that to you here in just a second. Also, we have a couple of other things we want to get to.

I do want to talk to you a little bit about maybe we'll save the economy for tomorrow because I'd like to see if we can get, our good friend on to talk about what's really happening in the economy because it's not good. It's not good. We're reaching the point of no return on federal debt.

We don't even want to your mood's not going to improve. Just go la la la la la la here for just a second. But we are now at $1.5 trillion dollars just in interest. Now, that's more than, I think, social security and the Defense Department combined.

We've been told these days are coming. Well, these days are here now. I'm going to take a wild shot in the dark here, and guess you just don't enjoy those nights where you're not getting a good night's sleep. I mean, it's great when you're young, you know, you like to party. My concept of partying now is sleep. So if sleep is alluding you, what can you do about it?

at a friend's house. They were putting the baby down. And so they left me upstairs in their living room for a while. And the sanctity of life really has gone away in our country. Just putting the baby down right when you're friends over. They're tired of it. Let us put that. Let us put that way. This one needs to be put down.

Sad. Yeah. So I go to the library and I'm, I just, you know, looking at their books and I pull one out. And it's called the, uh, just looking at their books? Yeah. Did you go through their medicine cabinet? What medications are they taking? Well, I mean, not that I, not that I'm going to tell you, but no.

Uh, no, what's wrong with looking through their books? I don't know. It's there. You're going through everybody. Is that what you do when you're over somebody's house? Just go through their stuff. If I'm left alone in the living room, I get up and I got, you know, looking at their library.

The taxes? For instance, to see if they have like an enormous amount of Hitler books like you do. This was, by the way, I didn't notice this. I was looking at my bookshelf the other day and I noticed where are my, the Hitler biographies that I have. Right. And I noticed my wife turned them around. She apparently did not want the giant word Hitler on the side of multiple books. Maybe because when you go, when people come over to your house, they might look at what you're reading. Right. It says a lot about you. It does.

Anyway, so I found this, I found this poem. And I just, where are these people? This used to be, I think, the spirit of America. An old man going a lone highway came at the evening cold and gray to a chasm vast, deep and wide, through which was flowing a sullen tide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim. That sullen stream had no fears for him. But he turned when he reached the other side and built a bridge to span the tide.

Old man, said a fellow pilgrim near. You're wasting your strength in building here. Your journey will end with the ending day. You'll never again pass this way. You've crossed the chasm deep and wide. Why build you a bridge at the even tide? The builder lifted his old gray head. Good friend, in the path I have come, he said,

There followeth after me a youth whose feet must pass this way. This chasm has been naught to me. To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be. He too must cross in the twilight dim. Good friend, I am building the bridge for him. How many of us? I mean, I remember when I read that, I thought of when I got on the air during COVID and I said, look, there's a lot of us who are 50 or 60 that can keep this engine running that will go out and, you know, do it for our kids or our grandkids. Let's not shut the economy down. Remember the New York Times?

Oh my gosh, they called me a monster. Yeah. You wanted to kill all the, all of your, I guess your own age group was that was the criticism? All the people that would volunteer to do it because I said, what happened to the people like in in Chernobyl? Yeah. The firemen that went in. They knew they were going to die. But they went in anyway because it was the right thing to do to save the country. Also, their government lied to them quite a bit.

But I guess still, I think firemen would do that here. Yeah, no, I do. I think so. That's true. Where do those? And that was like massively controversial at the time. Now you can read stuff. in the New York Times.

Like, ow, by the way, everybody agrees you shouldn't have been, we should have closed schools during COVID. I mean,

that's all experts agree on that now. Now all that stuff is out there in the media and being acknowledged as if they always said it was true. But at the time, that was really controversial. Very controversial. Again, you were talking about people making choices about their own lives.

That's what they were doing. I didn't say, let's just take all the old people and force them to go out and hang out at a COVID party. I was like, you know, I would do that. I think there would have been millions of people if somebody would have said what I said and you could do it. But the government wasn't allowing us to do it.

You should know, given the opportunity, you stayed home for multiple months. But, you know, you would have been out there if you had to be. No, I used a pandemic to stay home for multiple months and broadcast from my bedroom. Darn right. It's not right. If you got it, flaunted, baby. Hey, Stu, you're dispensable. You go in every day. Did you go in every day?

Oh, yeah, every day. We did the show here every single day. At times, at times it was like four people in the entire building. We had a lot of shows. This is 80,000. This studios, it was weird. The studios here, we do a ton of different shows in the studio. There's 80,000 square feet. Four people. When I came back, it was like a ghost town. Because I came back, what, three or four months before everybody else did?

And it was a ghost town. It was a ghost town. And, you know, look, I've been part of it, I think there were people, especially at the very beginning who were really scared about what might happen to them. And then it turned into, you know what I like is my couch. My couch is awesome. There's a lot of people still feeling that way, too. All across the country. I don't know.

I could come back at any time. Any time. Like, sure, I don't want to go back to not being able to go to movie theaters and restaurants. but like the work part, that seems dangerous. I'm concerned about that. I'm calling OSHA right now because I think there's a COVID someplace around my desk. If it's not 19, it's 20 or 21. It's around here somewhere.

Okay, so we've got we've got a couple of stories that we just haven't gotten to today. But multiple terrorist attack warnings this weekend. I don't know if you heard about the Russia. jamming the airplane frequency this weekend? Yeah. Only 1,600 flights. That's it, though. That's it, that's it.

Politics and polls, there's a great poll out. That is, it's becoming quite obvious that this will be a stolen election if this really, maybe it's close because they're stuff in ballot. boxes, but there's no way this guy can win. You look at the polls of what people are saying, not who they're saying they're going to vote for. Right. But what they're saying about, there's no way this guy can win. Well, but that's the thing.

I don't know that this election has fought on issues. I think I'm highly concerned it will not be. It will be based on whether you like Donald Trump or not. All right. Also, a story on Lizzo quitting because she's fat. And the worst April Fool's joke ever. Mm. ever. Which one do you want?

Well, we could rant about polls all day, but I want the worst April Fool's joke ever. It is April Fool's Day, by the way. So if some, when something annoying happens and you're something crazy happens today, please just catch it. Please don't be the person who doesn't realize it. I beg of you. I hate April Fool's Day. But I, I assume I'm not the one way to the most. It is a dream come true compared to Valentine's Day. Because you don't, you know, nothing where. Valentine's Day, it's just too much pressure, too much, too much money, too close to the holidays, just too much. No, no, just say no to Valentine's Day.

All right, here it is. Traumatized mother told how she was blindsided. A mom who is recovering from an April Fool's prank played by her daughter has admitted she's finding it hard to forgive and forget. The 49-year-old who revealed her daughter has always been a prankster told how the 21-year-old had been in the hospital for four days, where she visited every day until April 1st when her roommates and other friends were going to visit her.

On April 1st, she told how she received a phone call from her crying roommate, who told her the devastating news. she said your daughter Susan her condition just got really bad really fast that she she passed on oh my gosh

oh my gosh oh yeah she'd be dead after that moment oh my she then told her of her surprise and horror about a half hour later that her deceased daughter Susan

and her roommates appeared at the door saying April fools. Turns out she was able to leave the hospital because she got suddenly better and so that's the way they decided to tell mom. Now, if that story was that she told her she didn't make it and then seconds later

the daughter popped on the line, it would still be horrific. Letting her wallow in a half an hour of her daughter's dead. Comedy. I don't know about that. She said, I didn't know it was possible to be so relieved

and so pissed off at the same time. I called this joke, horrible, screamed at her, told her she was not welcome in my house for the foreseeable future. Okay. At Easter, she told how she was hosting relatives when her daughter led herself in to join the family gathering. I made her give back the key. And I told her to get the hell out of the house.

Wow. And while she persisted and was very stubborn about it, she finally left crying. The rest of the gathering, the rest of the gathering was understandably a little bit awkward. But also completely understandable. I don't know. It would take me a long time to forgive that one. After a minute she was finding an incredibly hard to forgive, she said, it's not like I will ever, not ever forgive her. Or I'm going no contact or anything like that.

but I'm just too hurt and angry to speak or look at her right now because of any sort of discussion about what happened. With her daughter calling her every day, trying to make amends, she revealed she has ignored all of her calls. The family is now split between those who believe there are consequences to actions and those who thought she should forgive and move on. Now, I'm just thinking that on Easter, you know, a couple of days after the guy was like, hey, forgive him for they don't know what they're doing while they're putting nails in his wrist.

It's a fair point. You know, I think. We strive to be like Jesus. We're not all like Jesus. No, we're not like Jesus. We try. Yeah, but it wasn't like she was crucified. No.

No. Though it would be hard to separate, I think, in that moment. That would be infuriating. It would be infuriating. but I mean maybe maybe there's more going on here. Right, right. Was it for YouTube or something? Was this a social media thing?

No. I've seen some of these lately that I'm convinced they're going to end in murders. There was one the other day that popped up in my feed where a guy is at a playground, wearing a bathrobe, goes over to children. Oh my. Flashes the kids. The parent is behind them. Behind him? behind the guy, so they can't see what's going on,

but they just see the flashing. The parents run up behind him, start punching them in the back, like trying to figure out what's going on. You know, they're just, someone's just flashed my kids. And then he turns around and shows him, and it just, he's wearing shorts with a T-shirt that says stay in school. And hilarious prank until the bullet

goes through the back of your skull. Because that is exactly, if you saw that happen and you were armed, I mean, I would be at least pistol. whipping the guy. That's not even good enough. It's not even good enough. It's not, I mean, you know, stay in school. That seems like you were just

kind of trying it out to see how long, you know what I mean? It seems like a test run. It does. It does. Wait, I was just showing up I was wearing gar animals. That's not enough. No, not enough. But someone's going to get themselves killed doing something like that.

Yeah. Right? Like you do something to a child and even though the message is obviously harmless and it's a stupid prank, Like the kid is like, that's a confusing moment for the kid. Like I still wouldn't be okay with it. I wouldn't be laughing it off with the guy after. Oh, did they? Some of the people, some of the people on YouTube, at least the ones they included in the montage,

did sort of laugh it off after they realized it wasn't what they thought. I never want to see you here again. Oh, yeah. My gosh. All right.

Play 60 minutes. This is cut 560 minutes on the Havana syndrome victim. It was like this piercing feeling on the side of my head. It was like, I remember it was on the right side of my head, and I got like vertigo. Olivia Troy was Homeland Security Advisor to Vice President Mike Pence. In our 2022 report, she told us she was hit outside the White House. And then severe ear pain started. So I liken it to if you put a Q-tip too far and you bounce off your ear,

Well, imagine taking a sharp pencil and just kind of poke in that. And this man told us he was among the first publicly known cases in 2016 from our embassy in Cuba. That's how the incidents became known as Havana syndrome. He's medically retired from an agency we can't name, blind in one eye and struggling for balance. I thought that was all... I did too. A hoax. It was like just a few weeks ago, they had a big report saying it didn't even exist Havana syndrome.

It's crazy. And now all of a sudden it's Russia apparently doing it? Russia. Back program.
