Starting point is 00:00:22 and then it goes away. It's just transitory, you know. As we make our transition into a country that is not free. That's, you know, it's, anyway, it really helps with the gas prices and the cost of groceries. Someday they'll go back down, we know. Somewhere along the line, did you notice that transitory with inflation has been lost?
Starting point is 00:00:46 Now they're, now they're trying to redefine the word inflation. Here's the thing. if you don't speak bull crap, I'm fluent in it, I'm an alcoholic, so I can translate, you know, political bull crap into English for you.

This is the Glennback program. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Boy, there's a lot in the news today. There is a new report out that says that Red State America is building a separate America, a nation within a nation, that the red states are starting to pull away from the federal government. That they're just making laws now
Starting point is 00:02:57 that they say they're in charge. Oh, you mean just like the Constitution says we should? No, something entirely different. I don't know what you're talking about. Good thing we have the DOJ on the case. We have We have the latest from the Supreme Court on the leaker. Except it's from Rolling Stone magazine, so I'm not so sure that it's accurate. Oh, but we'll get the accurate story on that and so much more from the NBC interview with our head of the Department of Justice.
Starting point is 00:03:37 It's fantastic. Oh, and one more thing. I have a chaco taco update. If you were listening yesterday, I mean, this is Biden's America. Chaco taco, out of business. But then,
Starting point is 00:03:54 because I have a very good research team, I now have the truth on chaco taco taco. Oh, yes, I do. And you'll never eat one of those chaco tacos again. I mean, you won't be able to because they're not making them anymore.
Starting point is 00:04:10 But, even if they were, you'd never eat one again. Yeah, hard-hitting research on Chaco Taco Taco, exposed. On today's Glenn Beck program, we begin in a minute. Now, our sponsor this half hour is Relief Factor, and Dolores wrote in about our experience. She said, you know, I started taking Relief Factor not long ago, and so far it has completely stopped the arthritis pain in my hands. I don't have arthritis, but I have to tell you, I had such bad pain in my hands. I couldn't hold a pen, a pencil, a paintbrush.
Starting point is 00:04:50 I really thought I would never be able to paint again. I'd never be able to do anything. I love to handwrite stuff. I didn't think I'd be able to do it anymore. Just like Dolores, I started taking it, and it has changed my life. If you're dealing with pain, try the three-week quick start. Develop for you, 1995, $1 a day, like a try-o-a-day. Pact, hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, 70% of them go on to order
Starting point is 00:05:14 more at Relieffactor.com. That's Relieffactor.com. 1-800 for relief. Relief factor, feel the difference. So, Stu, boy, oh boy, oh boy, Chief Justice John Roberts has just come out in a new article in Rolling Stone magazine that he was trying to persuade Kavanaugh, to leave Roe v. Wade alone. Now, he's a guy of such deep, deep, philosophical backbone that when everybody was like, no, we're going to go the other way, he decided to jump on board. And I love that about John Rob.
Starting point is 00:06:03 It wasn't just about politics or, you know, the credibility of the Supreme Court. No, no, no, no. He believed so deeply in Roe versus Wade that it needed to be saved that he went to work. And he went to work on Justice Kavanaugh, and he's like, look, the two of us can save Roe versus Wade. And then the leak happened. And that just changed everything. Because Justice Kavanaugh, who had already signed on, was like, no, now I'm really not going to change my mind.
Starting point is 00:06:40 So Rolling Stone magazine has come to the conclusion that it has to be somebody from the right. Now, I know this isn't true. How, Glenn? How? Well, easy. I know this isn't true because the Justice Department just can't seem to find anything on who leaked that. Now, I know there's all of what, seven people that could have leaked it, but they just don't have the information. Man, I wish we had a, I don't know, some sort of anti-constitutional spy agency that was spying on everybody's phone. They could get the ring. Have you heard the latest?
Starting point is 00:07:30 If you have, what is it, ring? Is that what it is? The doorbell that you can see. Yeah. I've told you forever, don't get ring. Don't get it. Do not get ring. Oh, no, they're never going to, they won't do that.
Starting point is 00:07:48 They can never take, uh-huh. Now police without a warrant can just take your ring footage for those people who might be on your doorstep. Anyway, they have so much power to find anything about anyone, except those people working at the Supreme Court and of course any kind of liberal whatsoever. It's weird how that works, isn't it? Really a stunning development
Starting point is 00:08:16 and I am incredibly shocked that John Roberts was doing the thing that we all said he was doing. I couldn't possibly contemplate that John Roberts, a guy who's just got rock, solid principles, would sit here and turn the... Supreme Court into a trading post. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Yeah. Yeah, it's exactly. Deeply held beliefs, Stu. You know it. I know it. John Roberts and his mom knows it. I mean, he's just not going to,
Starting point is 00:08:48 he's not going to change to, you know, do something popular, you know, but when all the cool kids are doing it, well, then I guess I'm going to sign on to that one too. It has nothing to do with the law
Starting point is 00:09:03 or what Constitution says or what I actually believe the cool kids are doing it. I want to be one of the cool kids. I mean, look, this is, we should point out. You mentioned that John Roberts came out in Rolling Stone. I mean, as you kind of noted, this is just Rolling Stones reporting on this. It's very important to note that it's probably filled with all sorts of inaccuracies. But taking it at face value for a second here, one of the issues we were concerned about when Brett Kavanaugh was the pick was exactly this, that John Roberts would be able to win him over to the
Starting point is 00:09:38 middle and we would lose out on these important rulings because Roberts basically was able to persuade Kavanaugh who, you know, it was kind of, when Kavanaugh was named, we were kind of a little worried about it. I mean, all the reporting kind of points to the idea that Kennedy, who was stepping down, basically named Kavanaugh himself. wasn't going to step down unless he was sure that someone he was comfortable with was going to take his place. We know that Kennedy was on the wrong side of abortion rulings throughout history and along with several other rulings that were on controversial cultural issues. So that was the worry with Kavanaugh. And you wonder, Glenn, would this have fallen apart
Starting point is 00:10:26 if not for the way Democrats treated Kavanaugh in that hearing? I mean, is it possible that Kavanaugh would have failed if they treated him normally with respect and didn't accuse him of gang rape? Are you saying that maybe possibly the chickens have come home to roost? Maybe. Maybe. Yes, do. I am I right? That's exactly what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:10:56 There is the, now let me switch topics kind of because, you know, we can't fight. gosh darn it, we look so hard. We can't find who released that decision early from the Supreme Court. But there was a hard-hitting interview. I mean, hard-hitting with NBC's interview with Merrick Garland. Merrick was thrown up against the wall. He was practically frisked. I mean, it was a legal search and seizure.
Starting point is 00:11:31 It really was. They asked him really, really tough questions. Like, could Trump be prosecuted? And Merrick Garland said, well, I'll tell you that I know it could tear the country apart. But look, we pursue justice without fear or favor. I can't even say that with a straight face. We pursue justice without fear or. favor. Oh, you're so right. You are so right. That's why Merrick Garland himself in the interview said,
Starting point is 00:12:10 and look, I want to come out here and talk about this Hunter Biden thing. Oh, no, he didn't. But the NBC reporter asked him about Hunt. Hmm? Oh, no, actually he didn't. You know, it's weird. On the week that you have whistleblowers, where have I heard that word before? Oh, yeah, with the fake whistleblowers on Donald Trump. When you have the whistleblowers coming out and going, okay, okay, I have not said anything this whole time, but this is too much. The intelligence analyst behind the FBI's botch Russia-Trump collusion probe is now the one who is discrediting the Hunter Biden laptop. His name is Brian Otten. he's the analyst and I know nobody really knows who he is
Starting point is 00:13:05 but he's the guy the whistleblowers are blowing their whistle must be a dog whistle because only Chuck Grassley can hear him oh no actually no it's not he's the guy behind the August 2020 report that FBI officials used
Starting point is 00:13:24 part of as a scheme to undermine derogatory information connected to Hunter Biden by falsely suggesting it was disinformation. It was his report that caused the FBI to seize investigative activity into the younger Biden, according to a letter from a letter that Grassley sent to the Justice Department and the FBI. Don't know if it's gotten all the way to the top of the FBI yet. Have no idea.
Starting point is 00:13:55 Merrick, Merrick Gardner, he is so busy, so busy doing. well anyway, he's busy. The whistleblower allegations are the latest evidence of politicization of the FBI. Grassley says it shows the FBI and the Justice Department are institutionally corrupted to their very core. Now, I'm finding that hard to believe. I'm finding that hard to believe because when we found out the last time that it was corrupt, you know, like the crossfire hurricane stuff, the counterintuitive. intelligence investigation into Donald Trump's potential ties to Russia.
Starting point is 00:14:40 The Justice Department Inspector General said in 2019 that an FBI intelligence analyst, who now is known to be Aughton, failed to advise others at the FBI about the inconsistencies in the steel dossier. And he also, being an expert on Russia, pushed aggressively for the surveillance warrants against Carter Page, which is weird because he was also the guy who doctored the email that got those warrantless wiretaps, which is really, really weird. But anyway, once we found out all of that, that they had lied to the FISA courts, that they had had lied to the American people, that they had lied to Congress, we immediately fired that guy and
Starting point is 00:15:42 set an example and said, this can't happen again. Oh, no, wait, hold it just a second. I completely misunderstood this article. We didn't fire the guy. So it's happening again. Isn't that weird? The FBI press office came out yesterday with a statement that they declined to comment on personal matters. So maybe that's why NBC didn't ask that question, because, you know, Hunter is just nowhere to be found anywhere. By the way, also a question not asked. The Federal Reserve says that they were infiltrated by the Chinese.
Starting point is 00:16:30 But no big deal there. The Chinese government carried out a decade-long, information theft campaign against the Federal Reserve. What are you stealing from the Fed? How to inflate your money? What do you? I mean, if I'm looking for information, the last place I'm looking is the Federal Reserve.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Federal Reserve charged with executing a dual mandate of maximum employment and stable prices, which they're doing a fabulous job on. I don't know about you, but our unemployment numbers, are so low because everybody's working. I mean, every, I mean,
Starting point is 00:17:12 we're at top. I don't see a help wanted sign any. Well, I do see them, but I'm thinking that's because of all of those people that died from COVID. It's not like the government, the Fed are making it so it's more profitable
Starting point is 00:17:31 to stay at home and not go to work, Come on, people. They also said that the Chinese government kidnapped somebody that works at the Fed and then threatened his life if he didn't expose secrets of the Fed. Now, the Fed didn't say how that all turned out. We don't know, but Merrick Garland, I'm sure, is going to be on it. Really, really super soon. Oh, also, some more news about China.
Starting point is 00:18:10 It's weird. It seems like somebody just did something that is absolutely against the interests of the United States when it comes to China. And it involves Chuck Schumer. I'll tell you about that. Next. First, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, thanks people like you.
Starting point is 00:18:30 The Tunnel to Towers Foundation delivers on its promise to do good and never forget the sacrifices of America's greatest heroes. I love this organization. There's a family that couldn't wait to join the NYPD, and it was a woman named Mio Sotis, Familia, I guess. That sounds like a made-up name, doesn't it? She proudly wore her uniform. She was ambushed and shot in the head in the line of duty,
Starting point is 00:19:03 solely because of that uniform that she wore. She was survived by three children, Genesis, 20 at the time of the murder, became the sole guardian and provided for her twin siblings, Peter and Delilah, who were 12. But thanks to you and Tunnel to Towers, her children have a mortgage-free home. Some families, the foundation brings the comfort of knowing they can stay in the home where they made memories with their fallen loved one. For other families, it enables new memories to be cherished for, forever. I always tell you to do your own own homework and this is the same. Do your own homework on
Starting point is 00:19:39 this organization. I think it is a fantastic charity. Help our nation's greatest heroes and their families. Donate $11 a month to t2t.org. That's t, the number two t.org. 10 seconds, station ID. This is the Glenbeck program tonight at 9 p.m. a special you do not want to miss. It's the Glenbeck Wednesday night special. I have some bad news if you actually care about the climate change and going green, you know, like the Hill staffers who did a sit-in at Chuck Schumer's office, they insist just like the pro-abortion protesters that they need to put their bodies on the line for the climate. Okay. While they may really care, which I don't believe at all, the government doesn't care. The World Economic Forum doesn't care. Neither does the UN. The end goal isn't a safer,
Starting point is 00:20:47 cleaner world. The end goal is power. All of this is about centralized power. They are, however, honest about one thing. For all of this to happen, the entire system has to be reset. It has to collapse. And as we see in every major change, pain for people like you and me is necessary. They know it. They say it in their own words. they expect to happen soon. Countries have to feel the squeeze and in many cases collapse and it's happening already all over the world. Industries like farming, ranching, energy, imploding, people are starting to rise up around
Starting point is 00:21:26 the world. They're pushing back on the Great Reset. But in many places, it's already too late. I'm going to show you how the Great Reset has already caused two nations to fall in just four years of implementation. We're currently on year two of Biden's build back better. I'll also show you how, despite clear evidence, that all of this is creating national suicide for others, Biden is pushing ahead. Last week was a big hint at what their next moves are.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Climate Emergency is a declaration coming soon. Tonight, climate change. And next hour, we have two incredible guests to talk about it. You don't want to miss next hour. and tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern. A special code if you use the code unsafe, you will save $20 if you're not already a subscriber at blazedtv.com. So they've just passed a wonderful, wonderful bill. $250 billion.
Starting point is 00:22:31 The Chip chips act. So we can get more chips, computer chip. and make more chips. But for some reason, Schumer decided that he would remove all of the restrictions on China. Huh. So China can continue to steal our secrets. We can even make chips over in China. And that was something that he removed the protection for you and for me so China can run free.
Starting point is 00:23:08 I wonder why. By the way, he says his offices might have been pressure from the White House. It might be. You might be. Might be. Real estate agents, I trust, is the organization that I own. It's my company, mine and my brothers. And we started it, I don't know, years ago.
Starting point is 00:23:32 And we started it because we were so frustrated in trying to find a good real estate agent. Neither of us knew how. And I don't think that's, I don't think that's uncommon. You just kind of ask somebody, hey, you know a good real estate agent? There is a way to figure out who a great real estate agent is. Who is going to be able to have your house seen by the most eyeballs? And that comes from their website. It comes from how do they market their website?
Starting point is 00:23:59 How many people actually traffic the website? Because when they list it, then it'll be seen and it'll sell faster. There's all kinds of things like that. We've already vetted real estate agents all over the country. You just call us if you're looking for a real estate agent to buy or sell. This is a free service to you. Real estate agents, I trust.com. Real estate agents, I trust.com.
Starting point is 00:24:25 And blazeTV.com slash Glenn. The promo code is unsafe to save 20 bucks off Blaze TV. This is the Glenn Beck program. We're joined now by Pat Gray. His pronouns are him. and her. I don't know how it works, but I have some news on, by the way, him, her, us. Thank you. Thank you. I want to tell you, I'll give you an update on the chaco, Chaco Taco Scandal. Klondike has now decided to drop Chaco tacos and they won't make them anymore. I think this is due to their racism against those people that come across the border or who like tacos. But they're not going to make them. And yesterday I was pretty upset.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Stu was too. I am still very upset about this development. I luckily have a crack investigative team. In this case, well, it was me. But I get to the hard-hitting facts here. I want you to know, Chaco Taco, not made by Klondike. Chaco Taco is a Unilever. Unilever product.
Starting point is 00:25:45 Okay. But Klondike is owned by Unileep. Unilever. So, yes, it actually is still made by Klondike. Okay. If you want to play these word games, I'm sorry. Inflation starts with two quarters of decline of our GDP. That's what it is, Stu.
Starting point is 00:26:10 That's what it is. You want to change the language? Go ahead. Anyway, evil unilever. You're never going to want a chaco taco taco again. Let me give you some headlines from Bloomberg. Unilever CEO sees Biden victory as a positive for climate change and plans to detail the carbon footprint of all of its products, including Chaco Tacos.
Starting point is 00:26:38 Next headline. Meet the next George Soros. Unilever's Paul Pullman uses corporate wage. to push progressive causes and globalism. Next headline, food and consumer goods giant Unilever suspends all imports and exports of products to Russia, including Chaco Taco. Next headline, top 10 contributors to the Clinton campaign.
Starting point is 00:27:09 The CEO and the guy who started Unilever. That's right. That's right. He is also an advocate for the two-state solution. Next headline, UN Climate Conference sponsor, Unilever, is among the world's biggest plastic polluters. That's right. I think part of Chaco Taco is made of plastic. And Unilever continues to work in Iran while targeting Facebook for divisiveness.
Starting point is 00:27:43 those that's all funded all of that hate funded by you desiring and buying a chaco taco i say i'm glad they're dead glenn if if unilever directly and intentionally released the monkey pox virus i would still buy chaco tacos yes i'm not saying boycott them okay i'm not saying that okay i'm just saying they're dead to me but i can't live without a chop Taco. All right. The next one, I would like to talk to you and Pat about the U.S. mega millions.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Nobody won. And now the jackpot is just over $1 billion. And I just would like to talk about the scam element of the lotto. And that is, I think it says everything we need to know about. the American people. No one takes the billion dollars. They always take the cash payout. Which is a scam in and of itself.
Starting point is 00:28:53 They advertise it as a billion dollars and then there's a whole different number for what people actually get. It's a lot lower. A lot lower. This one is 6002.5. 602.5 million. So it's 40%. So you're leaving. You are leaving 400 million dollars.
Starting point is 00:29:13 on the table. I think this says that the American people are saying two things. Yeah, I don't think the state's going to be able to be around that long. 30 years? No way. I'm only going to get
Starting point is 00:29:29 less than half of it, so I might as well take less than half now and just enjoy myself. The other thing it says is possibly, and Stu brought this up, inflation. Our belief in inflation. But maybe the belief that this inflation, not all that transitory, because, you know, they're thinking themselves like, oh, that payment were given these people at 30 years.
Starting point is 00:29:53 I mean, it's going to be worth nothing. It's be like $12 we're paying them at the end of this time. At the end of this time. It's going to say $6 million, but that $6 million payment's going to be worth about 15 cents to the average American today. So people are like, I know what happens here. I know you're printing money constantly. so why wouldn't I take all the money now and at least try to get some interest and investment off of it? I think that's really
Starting point is 00:30:16 the calculation a lot of people are making. But you know, you would think that with all of the because is there a lotto winner that has not destroyed themselves? No. Somebody who's won the lotto and is like, I'm going to buy
Starting point is 00:30:33 up a really fancy trailer now and they just blow all their money on hookers and trailers, I think. Uh, and a nice car. I'm going to get, I'm going to get a Ford Explorer. Mm-hmm. And so they blow it on really fancy cars like that.
Starting point is 00:30:52 And before you know, they're broke. Is there no one who has had the common sense to say, I don't think I could manage that much money. So I'll take it a year at a time. So I never, for 30 years, I never have to worry about money. There's nobody that says that. I think some do. I don't think it's everybody takes the cash paper, but the overwhelming majority of people do.
Starting point is 00:31:14 And I think, you know, a financial advisor would say, well, you can take all this money. You could throw it in investments. You can make 5, 10% a year. And it's going to be worth a lot more than this long-term payout. Will it be worth 40% more? Well, if you believe, if you or, you know, these are people who are trying to get you to manage their money, like your money. So like, yeah, they're like, yeah, of course, we'll get 10% every year to be worth a lot more. more. I mean, I would be skeptical of that.
Starting point is 00:31:43 That would also be terrified of having that much money at one given time. You know, like, I honestly wouldn't even know. I wouldn't even know what to do with it. Honestly, it would take research for me to even figure out what I should actually do with that much money. I mean, they only, the only, you're only protected for $250,000 per account, right, in the bank. So you're, you're going to have to do all sorts of stuff to protect that money.
Starting point is 00:32:09 you'd think you're right Glenn like getting a check i think it starts with i was just reading this i think it's it starts the first check comes in at like a million dollars and then it escalates each year i think maybe it starts at 1.5 million and escalates each year and by the end it's over six million like in your 30 years so see i just so it'll keep up with inflation i mean that's the that's what they're saying right i mean do you believe that i certainly don't i just i just don't believe a 30-year payout from any government entity is ever going to be paid out. To your advantage. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:49 If you have a pension, do you believe that you're going to be getting all that money? I mean, I think a lot of people don't, you know, that are in that position. So do you pay when they take out the $600, is it, no, $400 million out of this bill? million, you still have to pay taxes on the 600 million. So you're probably only getting three, I mean, only getting, but you, that's really only million. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:23 I mean, how do you make ends meet on that? Well, this is the, this is the problem, though. What you just did is the problem. This is how they get away with it, right? Like, you know, and the initial payout for the full option is 600. $602.5 million. And everyone says, well, I mean, I know. They said they were to get me a billion, but I'm only getting $600 million.
Starting point is 00:33:46 What am I going to do? Complaint about $600 million. And then you pay taxes, much of it going back to the same source you supposedly won the money from. Then you're down to about $350, $350,000. $350 million. And then you say, oh, well, I'm still getting $350 million. That's a lot of money. And that's true.
Starting point is 00:34:03 However, they've scammed you now. 70% is gone. Almost 70% of the money they were supposedly giving you. Yeah. I mean, can you imagine having any other product being able to get away with that kind of scam, where 70% of what they said they were going to give to you is gone? It would be dragged into 30% in your life. Like, think of like some shady, you know, supplement that makes big claims about, you know, healing your diseases or whatever. Even when they don't even directly say it, like, it'll be like, well, you know, take this and it'll help X, Y, and Z and you'll solve all these big health problems.
Starting point is 00:34:41 Like these, they get dragged through courts all the time. Like the coronavirus vaccine then? That's what we're talking about. That's a, of course, Glenn. That was exactly the point I was making. Thank you for bringing it up. You're welcome. This happens all the time.
Starting point is 00:34:56 People have been stopped from producing products for the rest of their lives because they go on to shady cable channels and run advertisements for. You don't even have to be, you don't. even have to be shady, Stu. You've got, you know, ad 60 second ads where they are forced to say, you might die from this erection. Right. I mean, it's true. All of this, and they don't have to say any of it. They just say, yeah, it's a billion dollars. It's pretty exciting. And then a very small print underneath, it says actually, it's only 600 million. And then you pay taxes and you're down to 300 million. Plus, of course, every time, if you just let that money,
Starting point is 00:35:38 sit in the bank and it gets your 0.1% interest you might be getting. When that money comes in, you're going to have to pay taxes on that too. And then when you spend the money, you're going to have to get taxed on, you know, when you buy that yacht, you're going to have to get another sales tax on top of it. Here's one of the changes I want to, because I don't want a great reset. I want a great reboot. So we just turn the machine off and turn the machine on again, okay? And all the bugs. And we reset to the original programming. Here's something that drives me out of my mind. My house tax and my property tax.
Starting point is 00:36:19 I never really own my property, ever. No. Ever. I mean, I could pay my property off, but I don't really own it. And if I don't pay my income tax, I lose my house. This is, that's a total scam. That's bigger than the lotto. And then, and then on top of the,
Starting point is 00:36:38 that when you die, now they're going to stick you with another tax. Because you died, we're going to take half of your everything you accumulated when you were alive. It's so immoral and wrong. I don't know how we've allowed them to get away with it. No, and it all, all it does is keep the people who have vast sums of money. It keeps them in power and wealth because they're never going to, it's no retro. your grandfathered in.
Starting point is 00:37:10 If your grandfather was Nelson Rockefeller, don't worry about it. You've got money for the rest of your life and your children and your children's children's lives. But we've got to stop these people from being able to gather money and do this. You know, do exactly what we've done for generations now. All right, back in a minute. Thanks, Pat.

Starting point is 00:37:31 Unleashed. American financing is our sponsor. In navigating home loans can be very tricky. And banks, Ah, the banks tend to be about making every dollar they can, whether that's good for you or not. You just can't trust anyone these days, especially the banks, because they are getting rich off of us, off of our taxes, which are then given to the banks, or off of the mortgages, or the credit cards that we pay. By the way, the Fed is coming out with a new rate. I'm really excited. It might be as high as a point.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Wow, that'll be so exciting if I have a credit card or if I'm getting a loan or if I want to buy a house in the future. Listen, here's one of the things that you can do at American financing. You can actually be pre-qualified and lock in your rate today. So if you get pre-qualified for a mortgage, you don't have to have the house. You're locking in the interest rate and you'll lock it in for six months. Let me tell you, the interest rate could be up two. points by the end of the year. So, do yourself a favor.

Hey, I just want to ask the boys, have you guys seen this? 75 mile long building that is taller than the Empire State building and 75 miles long. Yeah, the Saudis are building it.
Starting point is 00:39:38 It's the Neum project and 9 million people are going to live in this building. Pretty amazing. Supposedly. It's taller than the Empire State Building. It stretches. By the way, I don't want to fact check us here, but I was just looking at the details. 105 miles long. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:39:54 So not 70. Don't shortchange it. 50% longer than the crazy idea you just expressed. Wow. Is there any way that gets built? And taller than the Empire State Building. No way. 200 meters wide as well.
Starting point is 00:40:07 Yeah. So it is, they are saying that everything that you'd want can be in very close walking distance a few minutes. So you live there, you recreate there, you work there, everything happens in your little neighborhood within five minute walking distance. Yes. It is, you know what this is? This is Ebbcott. Oh. Except in a linear fashion.
Starting point is 00:40:29 Except it's exactly like it, only different. Right. So. Yeah, it's only entirely different and it's in the middle of the desert. Right. So. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:39 Now, I don't know how you get nine million people to move there other than the fact that you're in Saudi Arabia so you can just make them do it. But like, like, I don't know. I mean, it would be a cool place to visit. Yeah. I would like to see it. I kind of want them to build it. How much do they say this. will cost.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Oh, it's... It's unclear. Yeah. It's unclear. 10 billion? No, it's got to be... More than that? Oh, no, it's got to be in the trillions.
Starting point is 00:41:05 Don't you think? Got to be in the trillions. I would think... I would think so. I mean, you know, stadiums are being built for six and seven billion dollars. Yeah, it's true. You know, for one stadium. It's got to be...
Starting point is 00:41:15 Yeah. I mean, think of that. If it's, let's say it's 10 trillion dollars. All the liquid cash, the currency on the planet, is $55 trillion. And frankly, for something this gargantuan, I mean, 9 million people doesn't even sound all that impressive, right? Like, I can't have.
Starting point is 00:41:37 That's it. So what? It's 105 miles in a straight line all as tall as the Empire State Building. Big deal. Let me tell you about Rough Greens. Some people just get it. And I talk about those smarty smart pants, the types that figure things out that,
Starting point is 00:41:56 you and I would have never thought of. For instance, I mean, you want to talk about brilliant doctors. Let's talk about Jill Biden. You know, she's a brilliant doctor. She didn't come up with Rough Greens. That actually took Dennis Black. He's a doctor, too. And he said that he could actually change my life by changing my dog's eating habits.
Starting point is 00:42:18 And it worked. I didn't really even, I wasn't even looking for health changes because I thought Uno was really healthy until I started feeding. him, Rough Greens.

We have a growing inflation problem, obviously, and the Fed is going to do something about it. Unfortunately, what the Fed is going to do may actually make things worse on the job front. It's going to slow down the economy. That's why they raise interest rates. How slow can we go
Starting point is 00:44:00 before we bottom out and stall the engine of this great nation? Well, I know the people in the White House are rubbing their hands together and say, oh, let's see, let's see. Because according to them, We're not in a recession. Everything is peachy. Except they're changing the definition of recession. You know, that's the thing I like about this administration. Words. When the pesky words get in the way, just change the medium.
Starting point is 00:44:33 Just change the meaning. And you can call Miriam up at home, you know. Is this Miriam Webster? Yes, it is. Yeah, we got another word for you to change. Again! Yes. We'll get into that in 60 seconds.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Our ability to truly understand where we came from is at risk. Most people have absolutely no idea. I'm taking on that CNN article about us being Christian nationalists. I don't know if you saw it. It's still trending. I think it came out Sunday. It is still trending on Twitter today. Tomorrow, oh, I give you all the facts about this Christian nation.
Starting point is 00:45:16 and I'm following it up with nine pages of footnotes. I have this first monologue I've ever done with footnotes, but we're going to do it because we don't know our history. This is where the Tuttle Twins come in. The Tuttle Twins have America's History, 1215, 1776. It's like a textbook, but when I say a textbook, it's like, this is actually a fun book your kids are going to really enjoy, and it teaches the true history.
Starting point is 00:45:46 It doesn't focus on the dates and the names of every general. What it does is it tells you the story, the idea, what we were trying to conquer, why it was important, what mistakes we made, America's history. We have to teach it to our kids. Please get a copy of this and put it in your home. Tuttle twinsbeck.com. Tuttle twinsbeck.com.

Starting point is 00:46:22 including the audiobook. So that's tutel twinsbeck.com. Tuttle twinsbeck.com. So, Stu, there is a very, very, very important article that I found on CNBC. Here's how to recognize a recession. And it's not what you think. Now, I'm, I'm only, 50, what, 7, 58 years old. So it's almost 60 years of knowing what a recession is, because that's what they've said to us forever, until the progressives took over. Now we need to redefine what a recession is.
Starting point is 00:47:09 For instance, it's, yeah, sure, sure. It's two quarters of the economy. the GDP contracting, two quarters in a row. We've always defined it like that, although we've also known that there are other factors, other factors that go into it. But they're saying, this is not a recession, and we won't know if this is a recession for at least a year.
Starting point is 00:47:36 Oh, okay, so just about the time that all the elections are over, in between the next election and this election, that's when we'll find out definitely not near an election. Okay, all right. So they're saying that this is the incorrect term. I think everybody knows we're in a recession, and I don't care what you call it, but this is what a recession feels like.
Starting point is 00:48:07 In fact, I think a crisis is probably a better definition, of a recession, but I don't care what you call it. It's what it feels like and what it actually is that matters. You know, it's like people saying, oh my gosh, there's a huge pod of octopi coming our way. Actually, it's octopuses. No, it's octopuses. You're both going to be dead with the huge pod of octopuses coming your way if you're arguing about the stupid turn. I don't Don't care what you call it. Lots of things with eight legs are swimming towards us quickly. So now they're saying that, you know, we'd be laughing stocks if we said that we had a recession
Starting point is 00:48:55 when we were creating 400,000 jobs a month. Although that's not true. Were you saying that the job number, it didn't have 400,000? Yes. But what I'm saying is a lot of those jobs, A, aren't created. They're not like, you know what, we're going to build a tower to the sky, which, don't get me wrong, I think the progressives might at some point propose. We're going to build a big tower to the sky. No, these are jobs like, can somebody please take the job at the friolator, please?
Starting point is 00:49:40 these are old jobs that we still haven't filled. And so the jobs that are not being created but are now being filled, in many cases are being filled by a person who already has another full-time job. And I love the Twitter responses on this one from the blue check marks this week. I said that Monday. And the blue check marks, they didn't argue with the fact, The fact is the fact. So they just said, that's just, that's not Biden's fault.
Starting point is 00:50:15 That just means those jobs suck. Wait. That just means that those two jobs suck. Well, doesn't every Republican get that charge that, yeah, but their, their comeback, their growth is all with low-paying fast food jobs? Okay, so that's not the critique this time. The critique is somehow or another, the main job that people have sucks and doesn't pay them enough. So they have to take another crappy job.
Starting point is 00:50:52 Okay. Well, why are there only crappy jobs? Hey, maybe because we're not building a tower to reach the sky. This happens all the time, and it is so important. when you can't win the argument, you just change the language. Men can have babies. All right, well, then I don't ever want to be left out of the abortion debate ever again. Men can have babies. That's not a baby.
Starting point is 00:51:29 That's a fetus. Can you please look up the Latin definition of the word fetus? Because I think it means baby! They change the words all. the time. Now listen, we, this administration is changing some critical words. For instance, recession. Why? Because we're in one. And it's not advantageous for them to say we're in a recession. So change the meaning. How about this one? We're surrounded by domestic terrorists. now we all know what a domestic terrorist is we all know what terrorism is
Starting point is 00:52:17 terrorism is creating fear through some sort of a incident that is aimed to change a policy of a person a corporation or a or a country some sort of through sort of threat or actual use of violence to change policies. That's what terrorism is. Mm-hmm. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:52:48 Well, that would include, I think, marching at night threatening our Supreme Court justice. It would also include those who went in on January 6th and actually bust down the door and were threatening people. Yes, that would be terrorism too. parading as a grandmother on January 6th, because that's what a lot of people are being charged with, parading, that's not terrorism, that's parading. Do you know that I don't think anyone at any time in any country in the history of mankind
Starting point is 00:53:28 have ever said that parents showing up at a meeting saying, hey, guys, you're teaching my kid to question, their own sexuality and whether they're a male or a female? I don't think that's a good idea. Terrorist. There's nobody that's ever to find a parent caring about his child as a terrorist. Until now. So we've had that change.
Starting point is 00:53:57 We've had the change. This is all from the Biden administration. We've had the change of the word insurrectionist. Now, what is insurrection? Because I would define that as people who are plotting a hostile takeover of the country, which isn't what the right is doing. It's what the left is doing. It's what Antifa does, you know, along with terrorism.
Starting point is 00:54:30 How about voter suppression? That's a new one. That's a new one. We all know what voter suppression is. somebody standing at the polls going, I don't think you're going to vote today, boy. That's voter suppression, saying, no, I don't think Mark Zuckerberg should pay to have these collection boxes there all throughout the community. And we should change the way we're voting. Is voter suppression?
Starting point is 00:55:03 That's just called going back to the way. it always has been. The other word that he's changed is illegal alien. Now, we used to say those are people who are migrants who are entering the country illegally. Alien, not meaning those from outer space, but those from another country. They are alien to our country, just like an American in. Germany is an alien to Germans. Got it?
Starting point is 00:55:40 It's not a derogatory thing. It's just the definition of what that person is in that country that is foreign to them. So alien is under attack, has been under attack for a while. But now we have undocumented citizens or non-citizen. And the new language saying that there are non-citizen. citizen, I don't know how inclusive that really is. I mean, it sounds pretty dehumanizing myself.
Starting point is 00:56:15 I mean, you're a non-citizen, so what does that make me? Nothing? These are going, illegal aliens are going to be defined as voters soon. So they're changing the language
Starting point is 00:56:34 because, what was it, Sarah, that Michelle Obama said years ago, something that Barack... 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. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:57 Yeah. Here's another thing that Biden is changing. The definition of pro-police. Now, what does anti-police mean? Let's start there. Anti-police, that would be someone who says, we should abolish the cops. All policemen are dirty. All policemen are racist.
Starting point is 00:57:25 They just higgledy, pigledy, get up in a morning, throw their badge on, even if they're still just wearing a towel. They're so excited to go out and just shoot black people. That, I think, would be anti-policycle. But Biden is changing this. If you're anti-police, you're someone who disagrees with his gun bans. That makes you anti-police. Now, I'm trying to figure that out because I don't think it's an AR that is shooting policemen. I mean, you could say, well, it's just anti-people.
Starting point is 00:58:11 It's anti-school safety. You could say that. It wouldn't be accurate, but you could say that. Anti-police? Why is he changing the definition of the word anti-police? Because we're riddled with crime. They have to blame the gun. Because the gun is tied directly in people's minds to red state people.
Starting point is 00:58:36 Red state people are Donald Trump people. So you make it all about the gun. because the people in the cities, they understand how to stay safe. Really? Do you, New York? Do you? Is that really? I didn't. Wow, that's news to me. Oh, by the way, when you change the language, you can then claim that you're a big part in making gas prices so much lower and people are happy about it. That's the latest claim from Joe Biden. We now have 40,000 gas stations in the United States where the price of gas is only 399.
Starting point is 00:59:19 Oh my gosh. Well, thank you. Thank you for the... By the way, $3.99 is still the highest Americans have ever paid for gas. Some restrictions apply, Hawaii and California, not included. 399. Let's celebrate, everybody. more in just a second because we have to get to monkey pox.
Starting point is 00:59:45 Monkeypox is now being because it's racist. I'd like to talk about that for a second. Relief factor. Sean wrote in recently about his experience with Relief Factory. He says, I'm on my feet all day, every day, working and working and working. And I've had back issues for decades. But with Relief Factor, I'm practically pain free now. And as a laundry manager, I'm constantly moving around.
Starting point is 01:00:09 relief factor has been a tremendous benefit to my quality of life. I tell my friends and customers about my experience with this product all the time. Thank you for relief factor. Sean, it's fantastic and you're doing exactly what I do. Anybody who ever says anything about aches and pains, I immediately, they'll be in my kitchen. Have you tried Relief Factor? I think I've become like an Amway salesman, except I don't get any money. Boy, that's stupid.
Starting point is 01:00:36 Anyway, three-week quick start. develop just for you, 1995. It's a dollar a day like a trial pack. I'm having an idea here. I think relief factor should give people money who sign other people up to take relief factor. Yeah, because we're all doing it. Everybody who takes it and it works, we're all doing it. We're all like, you've got to get this product. You've got to get it. We're propane and anti-human. Anyway, a dollar a day like the trial pack right now, hundreds of thousands of people have ordered the trial pack and they go on to order more month after month. 70% of them do. Relieffactor.com call 1-800 for relief, 1-800, the number 4 relief.
Starting point is 01:01:18 1995, 3-week quick start developed for you. Again, relieffactor.com, 800, the number 4 relief. Relief factor, feel the difference. 10 seconds, station ID. So now the WHO, who? You know the WHO. They are They are now saying that you have to change the name of monkey pox because it's racist. May I ask, how is monkey pox racist? How is it racist? Is it because the word monkey is in it?
Starting point is 01:02:11 By the way, the person that defined African Americans as monkeys who portrayed the them as monkeys, was Woodrow Wilson. And he took that idea from, come on, who was it? Darwin. Darwin is the guy who actually codified racism. He's the one who wrote Origin of the Species or the survival of the superior races. Oh. So he gave all of the racists, an opportunity to say, no, it's science, man, follow the science. And so Woodrow Wilson, in his American history books, only has one picture of a black man, and it's an engraving, not an actual picture. It's an engraving.
Starting point is 01:03:10 And that's where you get the monkey reference. Okay. So other than the progressives being racist, you know, because then they immediately, you know, developed Planned Parenthood to help the superior race. Why is this racist? The word monkey is not a racist word. It can be used in racist ways, but it has another meaning. It defines an animal called a monkey.
Starting point is 01:03:48 Change the language. They are changing. Absolutely everything we know. Everything, everything old is completely new. That's how you change the world. You destroy the meaning of everything. More in just a second. Every day, life is complicated enough without having to go through all the hassle

Hey, Stu, does it make me some sort of a bigot for asking the question,
Starting point is 01:05:55 if Monkey Pox is spread mainly, mainly, you know, amongst the gay, community and it is branching out, how come no one will tell us why the two children have it? And it's not that I, I mean, I just want to know that it, those children got it from a parent who was snuggling with them or whatever. And I'm sure that's the case. But I so distrust the media. I just, I would like to know all of the facts of things now. I don't think there's any problem with wanting to know all the facts. facts at all. I think it's important to know the facts. I think the one of the issues with monkey pox is it's not an STD, you know, so I think some people are getting that confused. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:45 Right. It's skin to skin, prolonged skin to skin. It has to be more than a handshake. But it's absolutely, you're cuddling on the couch with your kids and your face is right next to each other, you know, or you're, you know, whatever. You're sitting there laying with them on the couch. They don't have to be naked or anything else. else. Right, right. But I just, they won't say how these kids contracted it, which is, I think, kind of important because it's not a sexually transmitted disease. Right. And if the answer is, maybe it can be passed, like, for example, maybe you haven't, if one of your, a monkeypox sore is open in some way, maybe it can be passed in much shorter contact. And if that's true,
Starting point is 01:07:25 it's very important for people to know, right? Like, you know, we should know. I heard an interview with a guy, it was the New York Times podcast or maybe ABC News where they were talking about to a guy who had monkeypox and he's doing much, much better now. And he had apparently, apparently he said it was incredibly painful.
Starting point is 01:07:46 And he had, you know, sores all over his body and apparently really, really rough. But he's now feeling much, much better. And he has only one more sore left or pimple left from monkeypox.
Starting point is 01:07:59 it's in the palm of his hand. And I would like that's a... You should know. You should know when you're shaking hands. I know they were all over us on COVID to not shake hands with people, but it might be something you want to consider in the situation. But they were saying that if you were to shake hands with this person and then, for example, touch your eyes, you could still pass it that way, which, you know.
Starting point is 01:08:23 Sure, sure. That's obviously significant. Well, we should know. Yeah, you should know. We should know. We should know. There's a, you know, there's a White House press conference in the Rose Garden today. The president is clear of COVID now, and so we're glad to hear that.
Starting point is 01:08:41 But he's going to tell us all about COVID today in the Rose Garden, which I think is so great. I wish, honestly, I think probably he's better now because he has such a great doctor in Jill Biden. She's an amazing doctor, really. And well, don't take it from me. Here's Whoopi Goldberg on Jill Biden. And Dr. Jill becomes a surgeon general. His wife. Joe Biden's wife, because she, you know, he would never do it.
Starting point is 01:09:09 But yeah, she's a hell of a doctor. She's an amazing doctor. I just like a PhD. Stop just a second. Okay, so she's an amazing doctor. She's, she has a PhD in education. So, I mean, I just, it's one. thing, by the way, this is she's already apologized
Starting point is 01:09:29 for this. This is an old clip of Whoopie. But it is amazing to me that she says she's a doctor and an amazing doctor with authority like she knows. I had a physical with her and it was fun. It was
Starting point is 01:09:46 fun. And she found leprosy and treated it before it ever became a problem. She's an amazing doctor. You have no information. She's a PhD. in education. Such a great clip because it shows
Starting point is 01:10:02 how they talk about this stuff every single day on the air. On that particular show and many others. But like she literally has no information of whether she's a good doctor or not. She only has a positive impression because she's married to a Democrat. That is literally all she
Starting point is 01:10:17 knows about the situation. And she's trying to convince millions of people that this person should be appointed. Surgeon General. Surgeon General based on that. Right. That's how dumb these people are. And I can speak because I... Yeah, you are a doctor.
Starting point is 01:10:33 I can speak on... Because I am a doctor. I'm a doctor. And Whoopi, any time you need surgery... Call me. By the way, Vogue just did a piece on Olena Zelensky. That is the wife of the leader of Ukraine. She's on the front page.
Starting point is 01:10:57 And, you know, it's really nice because I remember when another foreigner was on the front page who did some amazing things. What was her name? Melania Trump. Oh, no, wait. She wasn't on the cover of Vogue or any magazine. Hmm. That's weird, seeing that she was a model and everything. But she's not a doctor.
Starting point is 01:11:20 So, by the way, Ukraine is the friendliest place on Earth. Vladimir Zelensky has come out and said that he would like Ukraine to charge J.P. Morgan, Chase, City, HSBC. He wants them prosecuted for war crimes because they are still doing business in Russia and with Russia. and normally I think war crimes is a you know it has to have a pretty high threshold there and some ally of ours huh but anyway in this case I don't really have a problem with the banks being charged with war crimes you know now maybe it's it's not based entirely on what they're doing with Russia but St. Louis is being sued after the mayor signed a bill using COVID relief to fund abortion travel costs. Now, I know when we voted for COVID relief, oh, we didn't. Well, I know when they voted for COVID relief and they said, you know, these states really need it.
Starting point is 01:12:41 I didn't think like three years later they'd still have a bunch of it laying around that the city could go, hey, here's something we can do with that money and pay for abortions, but hey, no big deal. Beverly Hills, city council, has voted to not enforce L.A. County mask mandates. Never thought I would be all right, Beverly Hills.
Starting point is 01:13:08 But I am. And this one from CNN, by the way, tomorrow, tomorrow, an epic takedown of CNN. An epic takedown. They wrote a story about Christian nationalism. Oh, no. That really, it's white Christian nationalism that, I mean, if you're a member of a church
Starting point is 01:13:36 and it's, you know, it's not all progressive, you're just part of this Christian nationalist movement and you should be a limit. Well, anyway, they wrote that on Sunday, and the article is still trending on Twitter. And I didn't respond to it on Sunday because I wanted to do some research with something that CNN would have in the old days recognized as facts. An epic takedown of that article. Read it. Be prepared because it's insane. and I have the actual documents and records to prove it. But CNN has also said now, Red States are building a nation within a nation.
Starting point is 01:14:27 The case was just the latest example of how Red States supported by Republican appointed judges are engaging in a multi-front offensive to seize control of national policy, even while Democrats hold the white, House and nominally control both houses of the House and the Senate. Red states are moving a social policy sharply to the right within their own borders on issues from abortion to LGBTQ rights to classroom censorship,
Starting point is 01:15:01 while simultaneously working to hobble the ability of either the federal government or their own largest metro areas to set a different course. to a degree that was once just a decade ago unimaginable. This broad offensive increasingly looks like an effort to define a nation within a nation, one operating with a set of rules and policies that diverge from the rest of America, more than almost any previous era. Well, any previous era that was post-the-progressive era, yeah, yeah. Any era really passed, oh, 1990.
Starting point is 01:15:46 Yeah, yeah. This is what we call constitutional rights. You should read about it, CNN. It's in the Bill of Rights, and you can find that. Just Google, it's very hard to find, and understand when you read it, too. It's so hard. There are words on the page. but just specifically look at the 9th and, well, the 8th, 9th and 10th amendment to the Constitution.
Starting point is 01:16:15 And you'll understand that states have the right to do that. And the federal government, for instance, health care cannot give you that right because that right is not in the Constitution. And they don't print rights. God gives us rights. So a state that wants to do health care, they can do that. I have no problem with the state of Massachusetts doing it. The reason why states don't do it is because it doesn't financially work unless you can print money. So that's why they've kicked it up to the federal level because economically it doesn't work.
Starting point is 01:17:02 so if a state wants to do it, they have that right because of the Bill of Rights. And it's supposed to be 50 little petri dishes, 50 little different experiments. We're all supposed to be able to do things the way we want. Why should I have to live like California lives? Why does California get to dictate to me what I'm doing in Texas? For instance, in California, they just, well, they didn't actually pass a bill. It was just one of the regulatory agencies in California that decided they had the power to start taking and billing you for the water that you have on your property if you have a well. Now, I understand if I'm buying the water from some city project, you know, if I'm getting the water from a dam someplace else, yeah,
Starting point is 01:17:59 you should charge me for the water because the state put the infrastructure in and everything else. But when it comes to water on my land, that's when we in Texas say, get the hell off my land. But why should I live like California? They're insane. And the people in California think we're insane. That's fine. Once in a while, maybe we'll visit each other. You know, and we'll say, those people are crazy.
Starting point is 01:18:31 They're good people. They're good people. But they're crazy. And I wouldn't want to live there. A lot of Californians say that about Texas. Wouldn't want to live there. A lot of Texans say that about California. That's the way it's supposed to be.
Starting point is 01:18:46 We don't have to live there. Don't tell me what I can do and what I have to do and I won't tell you. It's crazy. It's really crazy. Now, there is another story from CNBC that I have to get to today. It's, here's the headline, what you need to do if you have symptoms but test negative for COVID.

Starting point is 01:21:05 we love. Holy cow. CNBC is there for you. Here's what to do if you have have symptoms and test negative for COVID. Now, what would you do, Stu, if you thought you had COVID, you have aches and pains and sniffles and you're like, I think I have COVID.
Starting point is 01:21:26 You go, you get a test, nothing. You're like, this can't be true. So you go and you get another test. Nothing. Some people have tested as many as five times, but they know they have COVID. What do you do? Well, I would probably act as if I were sick before 2020. So I would think, you know, maybe I had something different, like allergies or the flu or you are so stupid.
Starting point is 01:21:52 Listen to the experts. Classically, it was you had to have at least two tests over 24 hours that were negative before you'd believe it. I've heard discussion now, says an expert, that maybe more testing over a longer period of time will be needed before you truly believe it. So maybe keep getting tests for a long time. Okay. But they also say it's important to consider the possibility. I mean, this is an outlier, that you might just have a common cold or be experiencing allergies. Oh.
Starting point is 01:22:29 And yeah, regardless of your test results, you should isolate yourself. and mask indoors. Really? Yeah, that's what they say. So, you know, act like you would have in 2020, unless they're talking about a new form of allergies that are so deadly. So deadly.
Starting point is 01:22:58 They could kill you like that. And mask up, isolate. Fear, fear, fear, panic, panic, panic, fear, emergency. The Glenn Back program. There's an old phrase. that has been passed down from generation to generation. Is it hot enough for you?
Starting point is 01:23:12 I can tell you, here in Texas, right now, the answer to that is an enthusiastic. Yes, it is, I think it was 106 yesterday. It's over 100 seemingly every day this summer. So you need to be wearing underwear that keeps you cool where it counts. And that, of course, is Tommy John. When you wear Tommy John, you are so much cooler. And that makes everything better.

Starting point is 01:25:28 If you care about the climate, the last thing you should do is get involved with the Great Reset. and this climate emergency that the president is actually threatening to impose could be a nail in our coffin. It is the Great Reset. That's all it is. He couldn't get it passed, so now he'll declare a climate emergency. Well, the Great Reset now is old enough to see the results in some countries where it's been implemented
Starting point is 01:26:03 and the results are not good. Countries are collapsing. Sri Lanka is one of them. Also, you have farmers all over the globe who are ahead of us now that are being forced to not use any kind of nitrogen-based fertilizer, which is the most effective fertilizer that will grow the strongest and healthiest and most plentiful crops in the world. Farmers are saying they can't farm this way.
Starting point is 01:26:41 Well, we wanted to get Beyond Lomburg on. Bjorn is the author of False Alarm. He is also the president of Copenhagen Consensus Center. And he just wrote an article for the Wall Street Journal, How the Climate Elite are spreading misery. Important conversation with Bjorn Lomburg. We begin in 60 seconds. So I want to tell you about our sponsor this half hour, but I want to tell you through a story.
Starting point is 01:27:16 I don't know if you saw this story in the news yesterday, but the University of Michigan coach said to his players, please don't have an abortion. If you have a baby and your girlfriend or your wife is thinking aborting it, I will take care of that baby. if you can't rescue them and if you can't raise them, I will do it for you. I will take that child on as my own. This is the thing that everybody has always said, you're going to take those babies? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:50 I have an adopted son. I know people who are dying for an adoptive baby. Why can we get them from all over the world, but we have such a hard time getting them here, especially if they are going to be killed. There is an organization that I want to talk to you about, and it's pre-born. We have a goal on this program that by the end of the year, we can save 50,000 babies, and we're already making a serious dent in that halfway through. We're about halfway there.
Starting point is 01:28:26 And we really need your support. And pre-born, they built all of their clinics in the cities where the most abortions were happening. They built them in the cities where the direct competition would have been, Planned Parenthood. They have their clinics. These are state-of-the-art clinics. They are fantastic women's clinics that are being targeted now by the government because they use an ultrasound, and they also use the dangerous word, baby. instead of fetus, which Latin, I believe, means little one, basically baby.
Starting point is 01:29:07 That's too dangerous. So they're trying to put these people out of business. I would like to help them expand, and I want to hit our goal of saving 50,000 babies. That usually happens just by providing the ultrasound. 80% chance that baby is rescued instead of aborted if the mom sees the baby and hears the heartbeat, then the truth registers with them that they're already a mother. They've got a baby inside of them. If you would consider a gift of any size, $10, $50, $100,000, all the gifts are tax deductible, and they will go towards saving babies' lives and helping keep the preborn
Starting point is 01:29:49 centers safe so they can continue their life-saving work. To donate, dial 250, pound 250, say the keyword baby. That's pound 250 keyword baby or you can just go to preborn.com slash beck. That's preborn.com slash back. Well, he's been holding for a while and seeing that he's on the phone from Sweden. I hope he didn't call collect. Bjorn Lomburg is on with us. Good to talk to you, Bjorn. How are you? I'm good and how are you? I'm very good. I'm very good. I'm am I'm very concerned. You know, I, I care about the environment. I think, I think most people do.
Starting point is 01:30:33 We all want clean air. We all want animals to live. We want to have forests that thrive, et cetera, et cetera. But we have to do it their way or no way at all. I am completely off the grid. I have complete, clean energy. I'm all on the power of the sun, wind at my ranch. And I like it.
Starting point is 01:30:55 I don't think it's feasible for everybody to do, but I like it. However, we are now being forced into something called the Great Reset. And honestly, beyond, I think this is going to turn out to be akin to Mao's five-year plan. I think if they continue to do the things they're doing, especially on farming and energy, we are going to lose a lot of people. Am I overthinking this or worrying too much? Well, Glenn, you're certainly right to worry. I think given that Mao's five-year great leapful,
Starting point is 01:31:39 it was a phenomenal catastrophe of unprecedented disaster levels. I think we're probably not there, but it is certainly something that will leave us much less well off and will actually not fix very much of climate, which is, of course, the real tragedy in some way. So what's happening to a very large extent is that everyone is being inundated with these messages that we're seeing ever more catastrophic impacts of climate change, which is mostly just not true. And if you look at the data, we actually see, for instance, fewer people dying from climate-related deaths over the last 100 years, it's dropped about 99%. Why? Because being
Starting point is 01:32:25 rich, resilient. We used to have a world where about half a million people died every year from climate-related disasters like floods, droughts, and extreme temperatures and storms. And today, that number, so last year, it was less than 7,000 people dying. And of course, at the same time, we're many more people on the planet. So we're being told a story that the world is coming to an end. Now, if you believe this, and unfortunately very many and increasingly many people believe this, a new survey of the OCDs of the rich countries in the world, showed that about 60% of all people now believe that it's likely global warming will lead to the extinction
Starting point is 01:33:08 of mankind. This is just absurd. That's not at all what the UN Climate Panel is telling us. It's telling, as you just mentioned, climate has a problem, but it is not the end of the world. That matters because if you're scared witless and you're being told this is an existential crisis, it's the end of mankind. Of course, you're willing to spend anything and everything on this issue. But the reality is we're very likely to spend a huge truckload of money, and that's where your worry comes in.
Starting point is 01:33:38 So, for instance, McKinsey estimates, hang on just a second. It's, hang on just a second. It's not just that, Bjorn. It is, you know, and I know it killed maybe 20, 30 million people. It was an absolute disaster that is just not compared to anything else over in China. But when you couple in energy, just look at the starvation that's going to happen because Russia is blocking the ports. and we're having this fight over oil. Then on top of it, when you don't have the fertilizer,
Starting point is 01:34:19 that fertilizer is responsible for crops that yield about 30% more. You just don't change everything overnight, from transportation to the way you prepare the field to the fertilizer. They're planning on changing everything, their words, from fork to plate by 2030. That just sounds like something that globally could cause millions of people to die. And you're probably right if they actually got it the way they wanted. But of course, remember, they're not Mao.
Starting point is 01:34:54 They can't actually run the entire world, although I'm sure they would love to. So the reality is that most countries are going to resist us very strongly. So one country, as you mentioned, is Sri Lanka that actually went organic overnight and essentially got rid of all synthetic fertilizer. And remember, synthetic fertilizer is what makes it possible for half the world's populations, about 4 billion people to live. Half of all our molecules inside us have only been made possible through synthetic fertilizer. Overnight, they said, let's get rid of all that.
Starting point is 01:35:33 And, you know, it was not rocket science to predict that this would actually lead to pretty much all the bad things that you can think about. So fundamentally, food production collapsed and the currency is defaulted, and you've seen the outcomes. Huge process. People have been traded the president's mansion, and he's flown out of the country. This is a terrible outcome, but most countries are not dumb enough to do this. So fortunately, we're not going to see things going, but we are likely to see really poor policies. just very briefly, McKinsey actually estimate if we go net zero as Biden and many other Western leaders of proposing. So basically, if we cut our fossil fuel use dramatically,
Starting point is 01:36:21 that could cost $5.6 trillion every year in the world. For the average American, one model estimate that by mid-century, this would cost the average American more than $10,000 per person per year. But of course, remember, you guys are going to rebel against that way before it gets to $10,000. You should not going to be willing to accept that. So, yes, they're proposing really, really poor and ineffective policies. But we're going to go against them way before they get that bad. But it can still be a lot of money lost for very little benefit. So tell me what's happening with the farmers over, where is it, the Dutch farmers, I think.
Starting point is 01:37:08 Holland, yeah. In Holland, they're protesting. German farmers are starting to protest. Tell me the impact that they're having on this policy. So it's important to recognize this is a different kind of policy. So this is mostly a nature policy. So it's still an environmental policy. But the EU has this tendency as many well-meaning organizations to say, oh, let's just go all out on green stuff. And when you just say it, it sounds nice. We should have. you know, living circumstances that are equivalent to if there were no human beings, it sounds nice until you start realizing. Oh, wait, that actually has realized that they've actually signed up to something that
Starting point is 01:37:54 sounded nice. And a lot of politicians said it, we should reduce our nitrogen deposits so that biosystems that are low in nitrogen, which are, you know, sort of slightly desert-like, they also survive. That's a nice thing to have. what they didn't think about was this would basically bankrupt a lot of the Dutch farmers. Remember, Holland export a huge amount of food by some estimates. They're the second largest export of food in the world.
Starting point is 01:38:23 So this really matters for the world. They're telling Dutch farmers they can produce a lot less. Now, in normal policy, you would just simply have made all these nice sounding promises. Then when you start having to pay for it, you say, Oh, wait, wait a minute. No, I'm not actually going to do this. So what happened is that an environmental group sued the government. And one, so the government's own Supreme Court is now telling the government,
Starting point is 01:38:53 you have to do what you promised. And that's why this becomes so expensive, because nobody really wants to do this, except, of course, the environmental groups and now the Dutch court. And the problem with this is if you imagine what happens, happens is you actually sued politicians for everything they promised. We would have to spend enormous sums on getting much better schools and fix all the potholes and get more military and get tax relief and all kinds of other things you can imagine, probably more than our entire national budget. You can't run a policy like that. You're basically setting yourself up for spending
Starting point is 01:39:32 much more money than you have. You don't run policy through courts. You run. You run. run it through, I don't know, democracy. That's how we work these things out. And that's where you find out, oh, wait, I actually promised stuff that I can't keep. Unfortunately, that's not happening. And I fear that we're going to see more of this. So the Dutch actually had a similar case on climate where they promised stuff, couldn't actually afford to uphold it, but then they got sued in court.
Starting point is 01:40:00 And now they have to do it, although it's incredibly costly. And likewise, although the Paris Agreement is not binding, the U.S. is not ratified. it's not implausible to imagine that sooner or later people will sue in American courts and possibly win because Biden has said we should do Paris and then you suddenly have this $10,000 per year per American cost that nobody actually wants to support and that is how revolution is born. So that's a frightening thing in and of itself. The Sri Lanka did what, Now the World Bank has a new strategy to open up finances, meaning money printing. Sri Lanka did this.
Starting point is 01:40:49 They actually embraced modern monetary theory. And that's how they're saying they're going to pay for all this. But as we saw in Sri Lanka, that collapsed. That doesn't work. No, you can't just print money. Then you get inflation. And unfortunately, that's one of the things. So Bank of America is actually estimated.
Starting point is 01:41:10 that if we go down this route of net zero, it will add what they call 3% of green inflation, so extra inflation every year for the next 30 years. We don't want that. Nobody wants that. And nobody tells you that that's what's going to happen if you have a lot of governments printing a lot of money. It's not a rocket science because you can't just print more money. It doesn't mean that there is more stuff to buy.
Starting point is 01:41:35 It simply means prices will go up. So the fundamental point here is to recognize, If you actually want to help people, one of the best ways to do that is to make them rich because if they're rich, they're also resilient. Look at these heat waves. You just talk about you had 106 in Texas. Why this is not kill everyone in Texas? Oh, because you have air conditioning. It's not like we haven't figured out how we avoid most of the problems with heat.
Starting point is 01:42:02 Now, remember, heat waves is still dangerous and you should absolutely, you know, drink hot, sorry, cold water. and get into air-conditioned rooms and maybe by those John's that you were advertising earlier. But what you absolutely should not do is try to say, let's change the entire global economy's fundamental engine in order to make it slightly less hot. That's not how you do that because remember. Beyond Lumberg, the author of False Alarm, I'm sorry, I've got to go. We have a network break and they're screaming at me and my ear. year. President of Copenhagen Consensus Center, Bjorn, thank you so much for all that you do and being a
Starting point is 01:42:47 voice of reason on this topic. God bless. Thank you. Thank you. All right, back in just a second. Let me tell you about Goldline, as he's talking about inflation. Remember, that's an estimate of 3% inflation, green inflation. They say every year for the next 30 years. Can you imagine what that number really will be because they talk about doing this is going to take over a hundred and i think it's a hundred and twenty eight trillion dollars to be able to do this uh that means your money is worthless if we don't come to our senses soon our money is going to be worthless gold line is having an unthinkable special right now with every box of 500 of their new silver three ounce benjamin franklin rounds these are designed like our old money uh,
Starting point is 01:43:40 Benjamin Franklin, he has his seal of America, the one he proposed, which is the Pharaoh in the waters of the Red Sea being drowned and the pillar of fire. Don't tell me we're not a Christian nation. The Benjamin Franklin Silver Rounds, you're going to receive one quarter ounce gold version of the same coin for free. No way gold line should be giving this stuff away, but they're very excited about the new product, as am I. I have boxes of these.

Starting point is 01:44:49 Oh my gosh. Yeah, he was on that. back in the day. Yeah. Back in the day, it's amazing these guys. We have Michael Schellenberger on with us coming up. And Michael is another guy who is remarkable and was loved,
Starting point is 01:45:07 just loved by the left because they were environmentalists and they agreed with climate change. However, neither of them agree that the world is ending. and Schellenberger has really made a point. He's gone to the IPCC people and said, is what the politician's saying? Is that what you're saying in this report? And they're saying, no, not even. It's not going to kill the planet or humans.
Starting point is 01:45:40 Can we all relax? Michael Schellenberger joins us next on the Great Reset and the climate emergency that's about to be declared. the glen back first let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour it's rough green Cheryl wrote in about her dog's experience with rough green she said i was actually skeptical that this would have any effect on my dogs but the difference is truly unbelievable i found it the same thing Cheryl uh i ordered this with my 11 year old dog who had to have surgery and wasn't doing well within weeks time she was up playing like a puppy i'm amazed at how much better both of
Starting point is 01:46:21 my dog's digestion has been as well. Thank you, Rough Greens. I will tell you that I was shocked and continue to be shocked by the progress that and the progress in health, particularly. I didn't think Uno was in poor health. I thought he was good. I thought he was, you know, for a 10-year-old dog at the time, I thought he was acting appropriately. Started feeding him Rough Greens. And over that first six months or a year, he completely changed. He is, is so much healthier now and active. Rough Greens, get the free bag, the first trial bag, absolutely free. You just pay for shipping.

BlagestTV.com slash Glenn, the promo code this week unsafe for 20 bucks off your subscription to Blaze TV. Tonight on Blaze TV on my Wednesday night special, I'm going to show you how the Great Reset is beginning to unraveled. countries all over the world. It is national suicide in some countries have already collapsed.
Starting point is 01:47:35 Others are beginning the death rose. I'm going to show you what's happening right now in Europe. They're just a few years ahead of us and all of this. Thankfully, President Trump delayed everything in the U.S. That's why they hated him so much. He got out of the Paris Accords. That's why they had to attack him over and over again because of the Great Reset. But the Biden administration is moving full steam ahead, pursuing the exact same policies that are currently lapsing other nations. It is, just look at Sri Lanka. That is our future.
Starting point is 01:48:08 I don't know if you've ever heard of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, but basically, if a threat is deemed a threat, both international and national, companies and countries can be brought to justice. One climate academic said, conceivably, these powers could be deployed against companies or countries trafficking in fossil fuels. So you can prosecute American oil and gas companies for doing their jobs. How could they use this to go after media companies that are skeptical over the government's narrative on climate change?
Starting point is 01:48:42 Or maybe social media companies for allowing anti-climate change posts. What then? This is just one of the many potential options that we could be seeing. Don't miss tonight, 9 p.m. only on Blaze TV, path to control what Biden's climate change, emergency is really all about. We want to bring in Michael Schellenberger because he was at one point Time Magazines, the hero of the environment. I still think he's a hero of the environment.
Starting point is 01:49:14 They've just changed. They think you have to move now in drastic ways. Otherwise, we'll all die. As Michael knows, that's not what the experts are saying. That's what the politicians are saying. Welcome to the program. Michael Schellenberger. Hey, thanks for having me on, Glenn.
Starting point is 01:49:34 You're welcome. Thanks for being on. There's a climate alarmism group that I just love the name of it, declare emergency. That's the name of the group. And they're about to close down Washington. That's what their threats are, to try to convince America and the president to declare an emergency. CNN is. is out saying you're too selfish and we don't deserve air conditioning. We shouldn't have it.
Starting point is 01:50:06 John Kerry is saying we have to get rid of fossil fuels. We have to do this climate emergency and this crisis. And it's not inflationary to spend all this money. It would be anti-inflationary. And yet only 1% of Americans call this a top fear. Who's right? Learned about what's going on, Glenn. I mean, we're in the worst energy crisis in 50 years. It's entirely self-inflicted. Biden could have been significantly increasing oil and gas production over the last 18 months. He has not done that, and so he sought to suppress it. He went to Saudi Arabia, begged the Saudis and other Arab nations to produce more oil. They refused to do so. He has been emptying the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Starting point is 01:50:57 It is now 11, he's emptied, he's released 146 million barrels, it's now 17 million barrels lower than they were in July 2021. This is, we're in a dangerous place now. The president does not understand what he's doing. It's not clear that anybody around him does. I just spoke to senior people that are close to the White House and they told me that there is no point. plan for the Biden administration has no plan beyond November. And meanwhile, chemical companies are shutting down in Europe. Europe is going into a severe recession. Energy prices are going to rise. Electricity prices are going to rise over $500 to $500 a month in Britain. Our allies in Asian Europe
Starting point is 01:51:47 are begging America to produce more oil and gas. Biden refuses to do this. This has gotten to the point where it's just scary now. This is not this is not amusing. This is not just a mere threat. It's clear that the person in control of the free world is out to lunch. He's completely captive to climate extremists. You know, as you know, I believe climate change is real. We should do things to reduce our pollution.
Starting point is 01:52:16 But what the president of the United States is doing is putting us in a state of severe danger. So I think, Michael, I've never even thought of America being in this position. before. The world is going to have massive starvation. We're on the cusp of it. It is already beginning in some parts of the world. But in the next two years, we could have millions dead from malnutrition and starvation. We are, we're hitting a massive energy crisis. America is not only going to be, we're going to be the least impacted by this, I think. And yet we're going to be, we're going to feel it like we've never felt it before. But it is, it so angers me that we could be the country that saves Europe, saves even many people in Africa from starvation, but we are
Starting point is 01:53:12 doing everything the opposite to prepare. We should be doubling down on everything right now to be able to help the world survive this? That's right. Really shocking. I mean, there were, you know, the Obama administration, after 18 months, had 47 oil and gas lease sales. There were so many during that boom period. President Trump had a similar number. There has been won by Biden, just one. He has blocked oil and gas drilling in Alaska, oil and gas drilling in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans offshore. This is,
Starting point is 01:53:55 we're trying to manipulate Security Exchange Commission regulations to basically prevent investment in the oil and gas industry. The oil and gas industry is undercapitalized. You're right. We're going to be better off than our European Asian allies or, you know,
Starting point is 01:54:11 or people around the world, but we have a moral and legal obligation to protect our allies in Asia and Europe. And we left them vulnerable to the predations of Latin Putin, we're leaving Japan and Korea vulnerable to the Chinese Premier Xi. This is rapacious, parasitical forms of capitalism that are trying to increase energy prices on ordinary people. And you're right, the victims are going to be in poor countries around the world where we are actively denying and depriving them of reliable energy.
Starting point is 01:54:44 And it seems, Michael, I mean, I've never felt this way about about people in my own country or my own government, but this is Malthusian. They don't seem to mind the pain and the death that will come for their possible solution because they, I don't know, they say they are so committed to the environment, but anybody who actually looks at things, they are not going to have the impact on the environment.
Starting point is 01:55:19 they say they're going to. And millions could die, and it doesn't seem like they care about human life. It actually works to their advantage in some sick way. Yeah, that's right. I mean, you know, in my book, Apocalypse Never, I described the influence of this terribly wrong economist from the 17th century Robert Thomas Malthus, the Malthusians that hate humans, they hate civilization, they want scarcity. they are in charge of the White House.
Starting point is 01:55:51 They are in charge of the World Economic Forum. The World Economic Forum is a Malthusian organization. That's not a conspiracy theory. I've documented it. They actually praise Malthusian ideas in their founding documents. They want to be in curiosity. These are people that fly private jet to Davos every year to talk about how there's too many people in the world, how there needs to be a great reset, by which they mean everybody needs.
Starting point is 01:56:18 needs to become poorer, everybody other than them. They want to see less food production. There is a just today, Glenn, BASF, which is the world's largest chemical company in Germany, just reduced production further of ammonia, which is one of the main ingredients to fertilizers. They are creating a global energy and food crisis. These are people that say that Western civilization is unsustainable. They're the ones making it unsustainable. They're the ones that are making energy and food expensive and scarce.
Starting point is 01:56:51 And the people that are going to suffer the most are the poorest people in the world, just like you said, we're going to suffer in the United States too. Europe and Asia are going to suffer more, but you're absolutely right. It's going to be poor people in African, Asian that are going to suffer the most because of these, frankly, quite sinister, pro-scarcity, anti-human policies. What is it going to take, Michael, for us to wake up? I mean, I thought the gas price thing would wake more people up. but we have a government that only one percent of Americans believe that the climate crisis is an emergency, that we should put that at the top of everything.
Starting point is 01:57:28 This administration is now putting this at the very top of everything, everything else be damned, and I don't see the American people standing up. What is it going to take? How bad does it have to get, do you think, before? people will stand up. And is there a point to where the Great Reset is in play and you're just not going back? Yeah, I mean, I think everybody is waiting for November. I mean, I think everybody's expecting a very significant red wave in November. I think there's a good reason to expect that. There's a new CNN poll that just came out today that says 75% of Democrats don't want Biden to run again. The problem is there's really the Democratic bench doesn't have very many people. I mean, you see
Starting point is 01:58:17 California's governor is making moves like he wants to run in 2024. I think it's fair to say that Biden is not going to be president in 2025. But, you know, the dangerous periods in human civilization are these periods where the leadership is failing and we don't have the new leadership yet in power. So this is a dangerous time. People should be worried. There is reason to, there is also a reason for hope. I mean, you have to remember America remains the greatest civilization that's ever existed.
Starting point is 01:58:46 We do have abundant energy, food, and water. If we would just use it, if we have the political leadership, it is a matter of political will. So, you know, medium is the long term. I remain optimistic about America, but we're in for a significant amount of pain in the short term. There's no question about it. Michael Schellenberger, he is the author of San Francisco. If you haven't read that yet, you need to. he's a guy who I bet 10 years ago
Starting point is 01:59:16 I would have thought I hated him he would have thought he hated me but he is logical he uses facts to back up his arguments and he does actually have some really good answers Michael Schellenberger thank you for being a part of the program always great to speak with you Glenn
Starting point is 01:59:35 God bless so if you're looking for ways to adjust your spending you might want to adopt a new savings strategy that can help you put you and your family on the right track financially. You need to be going the opposite direction of the country. If you are looking for a home loan today, the interest rates they say are going to be up 75 basis points or a full point. And that's going to mean higher interest rates on your credit card and everything else. if you are looking for a consolidation loan, now is the time to act. If you're looking for a home, they can lock today's rate in for you for six months.
Starting point is 02:00:20 So you can go out and look for a home, take your time, and you don't have to worry about the next six months. The next six months could bring us another full basis point up in our interest rate. Devastating, just devastating. So call them now. Be prepared for what's coming.

Starting point is 02:01:22 progress on the climate and we're not moving forward fast enough. I mean, people are scared partly because of what is happening with Ukraine, partly because of the gas situation in Europe particularly, and the inflation that we've all suffered. But on the other hand, the steps we need to take to deal with the climate crisis, most of them are, in fact, anti-inflationary. That is insanity. But not as crazy as this, an opinion piece from CNN, a very European answer to air conditioning. Britain was hit the hardest the heat wave going over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, yet only 5% of the population owns an air conditioning unit compared to 90% in U.S. homes. Those who are worried about climate change, see air conditioners as items with large environmental impact because they're highly energy intensive. If Americans can learn a thing or two about the rest of the world when it comes to habits, since the vicious cycle is nowhere more damning than in those countries with most. air conditioning units, the unhealthy habit of using air conditioning, while it's hot outside during the summer in his view, clearly shows how selfish Americans have become. One thing I'm sure of,
Starting point is 02:02:36 one thing I am sure of, it is the self-indulgent to insist on the chilly temperatures in the middle of the summer in rooms at T-shirt warmth in winter. The dawning of sweaters indoors is when it's cold outside, not because the AC is cranked up so high, is surely a habit one could adapt to. Yeah, yeah. You know, here's something Europe could learn from us. Do the things that make you independent energy-wise. Do the things that allow your people to drive the engine of change and economy, not from the government.
Starting point is 02:03:19 and get yourself a nice AC unit. That would be good. That would be good. Can you imagine not having air conditioning? We would all be living in Buffalo, New York again. We'd all be living in Minnesota, because man can keep warm. Unless we can't cut down the trees, use oil, natural gas, or wood, or anything else, to heat ourselves and warm ourselves,
Starting point is 02:03:52 we'd all be living up north. It's very unnatural. Is it? Because we're natural. We're natural. And part of nature. It's like people arguing about the dams. Beaver make dams. Should we find them?
Starting point is 02:04:16 Just saying. That is a good environmental organization we could start. Find the beavers. Yeah. I like it, Stu. Damn the beavers. How about that one? This is...
