Starting point is 00:00:00 Let me tell you a little bit about Acheon. Aschelon, you know, in case you don't work out enough, you know, I wanted to get into shape. And I don't have time to go to the gym. But Acheon brings the gym to your home. Hmm. Sort of ruins your excuse me. It's kind of a problem. I'm trying to come up with the excuse.

Well, I found out from NPR, things are bad in Israel and the occupied territories of Palestine found out how bad things really are. We go to Israel and the lies from the media, the, it feels like everybody has gone insane. in the world. Doesn't it feel like the last four years never happened? I mean, at low gas prices,
Starting point is 00:02:44 we were self-reliant, there was peace in the Middle East. Now, I mean, it feels like, it feels like Trump has been erased. All of his policies reversed, which, by the way, they've reversed another policy, and you tell me why they've done it. We'll start there in 60 seconds. Let me tell you about relief factor. Julia lives in Texas. She suffered for years from the intense pain in her hands that made it difficult to do her job, even kept her from doing things she wanted to do around the house. Julia, I know exactly how you were feeling. I used to suffer from pain in my own hand so bad I could barely do any with them. I had to stop writing because I like to actually write with ink and paper. I know kids are like, why would you do that? And I like to paint. And I like to paint.
Starting point is 00:03:42 and I could barely paint anymore. I don't know if you've followed me on Instagram, but I'm painting up a storm now, and it's because of relief factor. Julia heard me talking about relief factor on the program. She decided to give it a try, and guess what? Like me, Julia got her hands and her life back. Relief factor, it's not a drug,
Starting point is 00:04:01 but it was developed by doctors, and 70% of the people who try it go on to order more. You're going to order the three-week quick start for only 1995, so you don't really have anything to lose, except your pain. Yeah, you might be out 20 bucks if you're part of that 30% where it doesn't work, but at least you'll know, 70% of the people who try it go on to order more. Why would you do that unless it works? Because you'll know if it works within the first three weeks. It's relieffactor.com. Relieffactor.com or call 800, 500, 583, 84. It's relief factor.com.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Holy God, look at what them Jews have done now. If you look at the stories today, you're going to see that the Associated Press has come under fire. Fof, yep, yep. Apparently, the Israelis bombed the AP building. I mean, what will they do next? Now, they claimed that Hamas militants in Gaza were sharing office space with the Associated Press, but that would be something the Associated Press would report.
Starting point is 00:05:32 Wouldn't it, Stu? I mean, you would, I mean, if they were, if they had, you know, militants in their office building, they'd know it. And of course, they would report it. Same with Al Jazeera, which is also in the same building. Yeah, it would be really shocking if they didn't turn that information over to their viewers, their listeners. I mean, it would just be stunning if they just didn't do anything about it. Well, in 2014, now, they say they had no idea, no idea.
Starting point is 00:06:07 And they think this is an attack on the press. But in a 2014 piece from the Atlantic written by a reporter in the region, they detailed a long and questionable history. between the AP and the jihadist group. Quote, when Hamas leaders surveyed their assets before this summer's round of fighting, this is 2014. Remember when there was fighting between Israel and the Gaza Strip?
Starting point is 00:06:32 Remember that? That was before Trump and then strangely immediately after Trump. When Hamas leaders surveyed their assets before this summer's round of fighting, they knew that among those assets was the international press. The AP staff in Gaza City would witness a rocket launch right outside of their office, endangering reporters and other civilians nearby, and the AP wouldn't report it.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Again, this is from the, oh, so very conservative Atlantic. The journalist at the time claimed that Hamas fighters would regularly, and I'm quoting, burst into AP Gaza Bureau and threaten the staff, and the AP wouldn't report it, end quote. So, wait a minute. The AP didn't know they were sharing a building with Hamas for 15 years, even though in 2014 the Atlantic reported on it and was quoting people from the AP? Wow, that seems weird.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Now, it doesn't give a lot of credit to the AP. you know, it kind of hurts their credibility a bit, you know, if they were, if they were able to miss Hamas, you know, Hamas staging right there, you know, like a sweet 203, it would be kind of hard to take them as a credible source. Wouldn't it? Maybe just a little bit? Yeah, maybe. I mean, it would be an odd building Christmas party, I would feel like when. You know, Hamas shows up.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Right. But I do feel like it's... You might not want to have a Christmas party. No? Or a Hanukkah party. No, I mean, probably not real. No. So it's an odd way to confess that you're completely incompetent.
Starting point is 00:08:31 But, hey, the AP's, you know, not opposed to it. Well, I don't think you have to confess it if you blame the Jews for lying about it. You could just say it's not true and then just say those Jews are lying once again. we all know how shifty they are, you know. And then you just kind of pop that out there and everyone goes along with it immediately. I mean, that's the, because you're, you're pointing it, you're making it sound like they've admitted this was true. I mean, they're not. They're just saying.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Well, they did. No, no, no, no. They did in 2014. Well, sure. Yeah. I mean, in 2014, they were very well aware, you know, when their reporters talked to the Atlantic, which. Oh, my gosh. Gosh, that is a liberal magazine, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:09:15 I was thinking that it was a really, really, really conservative magazine. But I just remembered it's not, is it, Stu? It's pretty much bright barred, Glenn. I think I'm pretty sure it's very... Okay, all right, okay. Yeah, so in 2014, they knew about it, but maybe it was one of those damn Israeli rockets that gave them amnesia. And now they can't remember it at all.
Starting point is 00:09:37 What did you have for lunch on this day in 2014? You're not going to remember it. It's so a terrorist comes in and threatens your staff in the middle of writing a report. Right. You forget. It's easy to forget those things. Right, right, right. Now, I did listen to NPR this morning because I want to know what all the news is.
Starting point is 00:10:02 And I am sure that I'm going to get great news coverage from NPR. And boy, they didn't disappoint today. listen to the report about Israel. Let's go now to NPR's Daniel Astrin, who is in Jerusalem. Hey there, Daniel. Hi, Steve. How widespread is the destruction of Gaza? Well, these Israeli attacks happened overnight, and every night seems to be more intense than the one before.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Stop for a second. Stop for a second. I just want to reiterate this, because it's going to become important. well, these Israeli attacks have gotten worse and each night is bigger than the night before. So remember, last week was horrible. I mean, just horrible. People were dying
Starting point is 00:10:52 in the AP building. Oh, no, that was this weekend. Yeah. And so it was just and nobody died in the AP building. Why is that? They gave a warning. Yeah, they warned them in advance. They have video of them all. collecting their belongings before they could get out of the building.
Starting point is 00:11:09 That's weird. They gave them an hour. I'm being told just now in my era. They gave them an hour, Stu, to get out. So, huh, that's weird. Okay, all right. Anyway, so he says every day they are getting worse and worse. Hey, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Israel says scores of warplanes again attacked. Another part of what Israel calls the underground metro. That is what they call underground tunnels. say Hamas has dug under Gaza to move its fighters and rockets from one place to another. It says it bombed about nine miles of those tunnels overnight. We don't have any word of casualties from that, but these strikes have been keeping Palestinians up all night terrified. I just got off the phone with a 65-year-old woman.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Kifaya Abu Jayaab. Let's listen. She says, we didn't sleep at night at all. We felt like I felt like my heart stopped. And she is one of the tens of that. thousands of Palestinians, not only facing fear, but facing short water supply. She says she fills up her buckets to use water to bathe and clean when she does get water. She has just a few hours of electricity a day. And that was just last night. The biggest deadliest Israeli strike so far in this fighting was Sunday. Several multi-story residential homes collapsed. 42 people,
Starting point is 00:12:29 including very young children, were killed. Well, has Israel provided evidence to justify one particular strike over the weekend, Daniel. I'm talking about the destruction of a large building that housed the Associated Press Gaza Bureau. Yeah. That's right. That building completely collapsed in the Israeli strike. Israel says Hamas military intelligence was using the building as well. And that destroying the building had crippled Hamas's command and control capabilities. Israel has not published evidence of that. And although Israel warned the building an hour before, there were no casualties. People escaped. We don't know why Israel didn't. tell the associated press. Stop. Stop.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Stop. Uh-huh. So, wait. So deadly attacks, yes. But they lead with this crime against humanity. These bombs are keeping people awake. People are losing sleep over this. Now, I have to tell you, I think that's a little out of balance. Are the, is Hamas keeping Israelis awake?
Starting point is 00:13:35 no no you know I have they're not I had a similar situation at my home this weekend where my wife is always cold and she refuses to put the air conditioning on when we sleep and I woke up in the middle of the night too warm to sleep too warm to be warm to sleep is there a Jew in your neighborhood I don't know the answer to that I don't is she Jewish does she have any Jewish blood get a spit test get a spit test because, oh my gosh. I've been feeling her head for horns. We've got to do something about that.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Have you really? Yes. Really. Yeah. Well, you know what? I tell you, you know what? The world needs now. According to the CNN contributor,
Starting point is 00:14:20 the world needs now a, let me just get this quote, the world today needs a Hitler. So that was from a, hmm? Just from a CNN contributor there. It's a. fair. He never mentioned what member
Starting point is 00:14:36 of the Hitler family. He just said any, I mean, could have easily been one of the nice ones. I mean, who knows? Yeah, Judith. Francis was great. Judith Hitler. Sweetheart. A sweetheart. You know. She could knit. She made throw blankets for the whole
Starting point is 00:14:52 family. Maybe that's what. I mean, not all the Hitler's are bad. So, maybe that's what he meant. Maybe that's what he meant. It needs a Hitler. Not the Hitler. I'm the one you just keep faking up. We're talking about Scott.
Starting point is 00:15:09 We're talking about Scott Hitler. Scott. What is Scott Hitler? What a sweet art of a guy? What is Scott Hitler? Yeah, what's he known for? Scott was a mechanic on Long Island. Really? And Scott Hitler.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Yeah. And, you know, the world we don't have, you know, with the, I'm just, I'm trying to think about a deal, Raja. and what he meant by this. And Scott probably, because he's a sweetheart of guy, he used to go to the Knights of Columbus and he would play bingo and sometimes he'd let the old ladies win. It was really sweet.
Starting point is 00:15:44 But he also was a mechanic and we have a lack of silicon chips now. And I'm sure Scott can help out, you know. Well, I guess one of my questions, because I have several, but one would be, if you're going to set up a business and your last name is Hitler,
Starting point is 00:16:04 do you choose Long Island where there's a, generally a higher population of Jewish people who might not be enticed to go to a Hitler's mechanic. Just because, you know,
Starting point is 00:16:16 just because one Hitler hated the Jews. Right. Don't pass that on to Scott or Julia or Francis. Right. That's true. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Don't, they can't, you know, we don't condemn people for the, their, you know, for their ancestry, you know, just because one of yours was one of the biggest killers of all time doesn't mean you are, right? Right. You're not the same as your brother or sister?
Starting point is 00:16:45 Thank you. Just like, I'm sure the Hitler, I just feel like there would be a risk there, a risk factor. Well, I, maybe he didn't mean Scott. I don't know. But he did tweet, the world today needs a Hitler. when CNN was asked to respond, they said, we've never heard of Adil Raja. They never heard of him.
Starting point is 00:17:08 And then later they were like, oh, well, he'll never work here again. I'll tell you that right now. Okay. So we got that going for us. Thank you very much. And our apologies to Scott for even bringing your name into any of this. All right.
Starting point is 00:17:27 By the way, that's not, I mean, his real name, he had it changed. It's not Scott. It was Dave. And he had it changed when he moved here.

Starting point is 00:19:09 a group in London that were marching in the street. And you got to love them. You got to love them. I mean, you know you're on the right side when the people that, you know, you agree with their stance are chanting, F, the Jews, F their daughters, F their mothers, rape their daughters. I think that's good. I think that's good.
Starting point is 00:19:36 It's interesting, too, it seems in some ways repetitive. you're saying you're going to rape their daughters, you've already insinuated what you're, the F your daughter is part of it. You're just repeating yourself at that point. And why be so vulgar? Why not just use the word rape? You know what I mean? That is the big problem here. Why assault our sensibilities and really bring civil civilization down to that level
Starting point is 00:20:01 by using profanity like that? And to be clear, I think the Associated Press would probably agree with me on this. This is probably the Jews fault in some way that... Oh, I think the Associated Press is working on that story right now. And maybe CNN... Maybe the CNN contributor is working on that story now.
Starting point is 00:20:21 You know, hey, by the way, the world needs a Hitler. Yeah, that wasn't pulled down by Twitter. That was... Surprisingly, three hours later, that was pulled down by Ajeel Raja. Really? Yeah, he thought, I should pull that one down. But Twitter didn't... Twitter didn't pull it down.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Well, people didn't understand that he was saying the world needs a good mechanic. Right. Exactly right. That's right. They just need a good Long Island mechanic. By the way, you can still call, you can still find Bollywood actress Vina Malik, who I love. She's your fair. I remember you got that whole box set, right?
Starting point is 00:21:05 Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, dancing on the Damn, the knot The grass. What's the, there's the big thing where they Where they go to wash, the cows, the river, the.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Yeah, right. I remember that. Anyway, dancing on that river. That was a great movie. Anyway, anyway, she posted last week, I would have killed all the Jews of the world, but I kept some to show the world why I killed them, Adolf Hitler.
Starting point is 00:21:34 That's, she did that last week. you still find that. Oh, no, she's just deleted it too. She, you're kidding. Deleted it. Yeah. Well, she was very, she did not, she was not talking about Scott Hitler. She specifically said she was talking about Adolf.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she was like, probably Scott called her and said, hey, I fixed your car. You know, when nobody else would, why are you doing this to my family? Adolf's dead, okay? Adolf's dead. I get to blame now. My business is hurt every time. somebody drives by Hitler's garage and they're like, what?
Starting point is 00:22:10 Well, it's got to be tough when you've got the garage and you're trying to, you know, hopefully people don't associate you with Adolf. But then like the slogan is never forget. So it's really hard to get past that. Like the goal is not to forget it. And every time they go by your side, they're thinking, I'm remembering it again. Yeah, right. It's kind of bad.
Starting point is 00:22:29 It's kind of bad. All right. Pat Gray is coming up. Kind of talk about some of the other things that are going on. around the, around the world. Also, I have a letter from Harry Truman that he wrote about the press. I have to share it with you today. He compared them to quoting Harry Truman, compared them to a great horror.
Starting point is 00:23:01 And you have to hear the whole letter. It gets so much better. and I think you'll agree. This is the globe. Going on vacation with my family soon. One of the main things I have to pack is my pair of Raycon wireless earbuds, mainly because we're driving. And do you know what it's like?
Starting point is 00:23:24 23 hours in a car with teenagers? Yeah, right. They want to listen to whatever they want to listen to. And I want to listen to an audio book. And no one in the family, they're like, Dad, can we please stop listening to this hard science? that you listen to all the time. And I'm like, I know, but I'm an award-winning scientist.

Starting point is 00:24:43 Let me introduce Pat Gray from Pat Gray on leased who is starting a new movement, Harry Go Home. Yes. It's out in a new children's book this week. Hello, Pat. How are you? I'm good, except for Prince Harry being here. If we could get rid of that one nuisance, I mean, things would still suck really bad right now.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Suck a little less. Yeah, I mean, we've got it. This ship is sinking. We have to throw something overboard. And it might as well be here. Right. I was going to start with Prince Harry. I, how incredible is it that this guy comes here and there's a reason he came here because, you know, it's great compared to England? No, no, no, no, nope, nope, nope, nope. He came here for Hollywood. Well, right. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:34 And he's got a problem with the First Amendment. He doesn't really understand it that you can't criticize your leaders. As in about the same breath, he criticizes his dad, who if I'm not mistaken is one. of the supposed pretend leaders of great Britain. One of the supposed, what did you say? Supposed leaders? Fake, pretend leaders. Yeah, they pretend. Pretend leaders.
Starting point is 00:26:02 All right, okay. They keep doing like four-year-old tea parties over there or something. And I get to play the Queen of England, okay? Sure, yeah. Go ahead. And how about we pay you a billion dollars a year to do that? Wouldn't that be great? Right, right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:17 I don't get it. He doesn't get the First Amendment. I don't get the British Royal thing. It's not what you fought against for 100 or 200 or 500 years. And they finally got to the point where, you know, there was some fairness and some decent governance in England. And now all they want to do is continue to pretend like they have a monarchy. It doesn't make any sense to me.
Starting point is 00:26:41 Well, what are you going to do with all that land? Because it belongs to them. It's not state-owned land. It's owned by the Windsors. So, I mean, you know, it's not like you're going to throw them out and then have them move to an apartment. Well, that's where real estate agents I trust come in. You just give them a call. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:26:59 And they'll help you find a great location. Are you the queen? Are you moving? Call real estate agents I trust.com. They could do worse. I'll tell you that. Right. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Right. Hey, can I ask you a question? Biden has reversed. a Donald Trump executive order. I mean, he's, I mean, I thought he had done them all, but no, no, no. By the authority vested in me by the, as president, by the Constitution and Laws, the United States of America, including blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, section one, revocation of presidential actions. The following presidential actions are revoked. Now, he has revoked a lot of stuff, but he's just,
Starting point is 00:27:45 He's just revoked the enacting of stricter penalties for defacing monuments. Isn't that like an open invitation to start defacing the monuments again? I think so. I think so. I mean, why would you do that? That's what I was trying to figure out. Sincerely, why would you do that? You haven't come up with a reason?
Starting point is 00:28:09 No, I can't. Unless, no, I can't come up with a single reason. Well, I mean, I can't either. Maybe you can, Sto. Can you come up? Why would you, why would you relax the penalties for defacing or destroying a monument? You want it to happen? Yes.
Starting point is 00:28:26 That's the only explanation there is. It's the only, that it is. It really is. And these are the people who are aligned with you philosophically, right? You have these, you know, again, you might not want every monument to be torn down. But it's the same way you might not want people to riot in the streets, but like you don't want them to be arrested or, punished or have their hands slapped even when they do. I mean, you can't have that, let that happen. I mean, it seems like it's incentivizing people to do this. And I don't know how you see it any other way.
Starting point is 00:28:58 I can't, I can't see it any other way than, then you just, you want more of this to happen. And you don't want to have to have anybody pay a price. The guy is dismantling us step by step. And it's moving at a lot faster pace than I thought. One of my favorite article, comes from the Federalist this weekend. I can never forget about Brian Stelter for as long as I'd like before his name, voice, or melodrama seep into my Twitter feed one way or another. On Wednesday, it was because CNN hosts liked a tweet containing a gaslighty Atlantic article with self-serious quote tweet,
Starting point is 00:29:36 this is a really thoughtful argument. I mean, he goes on to the argument. But what I really like is the headline, would an actual potato be better than CNN host Brian Stelter? I love that headline. I saw that too. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:29:57 I mean, there is no doubt in my mind. In fact, Stu, can you get somebody on the staff to edit part of Brian Stelter's broadcast and take him out of it and just have the camera go to a potato and then back to the guest? See if you can do that. Because I think it would. I think we should try to prove that, yes, a potato would be better. I mean, it's just for scientific purposes, you're saying. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Oh, this is purely, look, man, we are in the radio arts and sciences. Okay. You're talking to a radio Hall of Famer. I didn't get here just by doing the stuff that everybody just writes a headline about. You know, they only write a headline. I follow through on that. That's true. You didn't get there by doing those other things.
Starting point is 00:30:44 you got there by asking me and Pat to do them for you. Exactly right. Now you finally get it. Oh, my gosh. By the way, did you see the commentary that's now going away? It's time to revive the fairness doctrine and to expand it? Yes. This is something that Obama said in what, 2010?
Starting point is 00:31:12 And they're picking it up now. That is targeting. Gee, who do you think? What do you think? It's probably going to hit their own side hardest, right guys? People like Mr. Potato Head, you know, Brian Stelter. No, actually, he's for it. He's for it.
Starting point is 00:31:31 Wow, I wonder. And he is a potato, so he has eyes all around his head. So he can see everything. So he'd have to see this coming if it was going to hurt him. Yeah, the fairness doctrine, obviously, obviously just only there to attack talk radio. And probably they'll expand it into something that people don't really follow the internet.
Starting point is 00:31:58 So it'd probably be that. There is a letter that I read from Harry Truman today that I absolutely love. He was writing to his secretary, of state. And he says, Dear Dean, well,
Starting point is 00:32:16 I have the urge to give you, to give some of these lying paid prostitutes of the mind a little hell. He's talking about the media when he talks about the prostitutes. Rather than speak out publicly, you are the victim. Old man Webster, who's purported to have written a collection of words with derivative, say it,
Starting point is 00:32:41 Pat. Derivative? Derivation. Yeah. And definitions. I can't say it. Well, was it about the Radio Hall of Fame again? What were we just talking about? Shut up. Shut up. He wrote, prostitute. One, to submit to promiscuous lewdness for hire.
Starting point is 00:32:59 To devote or base or unworthy purposes as to prostitute one's talents, prostituted, now chiefly devoted to base purposes or ends corrupt. the same source from old man Webster gives this definition of prostitution, an act or practice of prostituting as the prostitution of one's ability. Dean, that is the end of Mr. Webster's dissertation on the oldest profession in the world. And as you can see, it's not confined to an occupant of a body house. We have men in this day and age who are prostitutes of the mind. They sell their ability to write articles for sale, which will be so worded as to mislead people who read them as news. These articles or columns are the most astute and plausible, unless the reader knows any of the facts, and they are being misled.
Starting point is 00:33:57 These men are prostitutes of the mind. They write what they do not believe for sale. Mr. Webster has clearly defined them for what they are, in my opinion. they are much worse and much more dangerous than the street walking whore who sells her body for a relief of a man whose penis is troubling him. I can't believe this is Truman. This is Truman. Prostitutes of the mind have been great menace to free government since freedom of speech and freedom of the press was first inaugurated. Presidents and members of their cabinets and their staff members have been slandered and misrepresented since George Washington. When the press is friendly to an administration, the opposition has been lied about and treated horribly by the paid prostitutes of the mind. Prostitute of the mind is much worse, much worse criminal, in my opinion, than a thief or a robber.
Starting point is 00:34:55 The old old man, Shakespeare said, good name in man or woman, Dear my Lord is the immediate jewel of their souls who steals my purses, steals my purse's, steals, trash to something nothing. But he that filches from me, my good name, robs me of which not entices him and makes me poor indeed. Prostitutes of the mind are skillful purveyors of character assassination and the theft of good names of public men and private citizens too. They are the lowest form of thief and criminal. Wow. That is fantastic. You believe that was written by a Democrat?
Starting point is 00:35:35 how far the Democrat Party has come since Truman. It all started when they stopped using the word filch. They should be using the word filch more often. It's a good word. It's ruined the party. Exactly right. Thank you very much. Pat Ray.
Starting point is 00:35:51 You'll listen to Pac-Rae. Unleashed. Julie writes in about a recent experience with American financing. She says, my husband and I heard about American financing from your radio show, Mr. Beck. With the low mortgage rates available, we decided to look into refinancing. our 30-year mortgage into a 15-year mortgage. We worked with Scott, who was amazing. He called and was able to get us some figures over the phone. We were hoping to get some cash out to pay off our other debt, and we appreciated his support. Our rate would have been lower without the cash out, but Scott
Starting point is 00:36:23 supported our decision and helped us get the best rate for our situation. He was transparent throughout the entire process, always keeping us informed of the next steps, and quickly getting back to us when we had questions. He not only worked well with us and his whole team, Katie and Laura, but also made us feel like it was our team. The whole process took two months. We've been recommending American financing everywhere. Thank you for recommending them to us. Julie, thank you for writing in. If you would like a great experience and get your finances into order, go to Americanfinancing.net. Americanfinancing.net. They're waiting for your call right now at 800, 906 2440.
Starting point is 00:37:06 800. 906. 2440. American financing NMLS 182334. www. www. nmLS consumer access.org. All right. I want to ask you an honest question. This is from the New York Times and the daily caller reporting on
Starting point is 00:37:30 the New York Times about Joe Biden. Now, I have to ask you, why did the New York Times write this article. Apparently, Joe Biden scolds his aides in profanity-laced episodes and demands hours of debate from policy experts before coming to a decision on issues.
Starting point is 00:37:58 It's according to a report from the New York Times. The New York Times spoke with over two dozen current and former Biden associates regarding the president's demeanor and how he conducts business. according to the report, the interviews painted a picture of a president with a short fuse who is obsessed with getting the details right sometimes to a fault. Quote, Mr. Biden is gripped by a sense of urgency that leaves him prone to flares of impatience, according to numerous people who regularly interact with him.
Starting point is 00:38:30 The president still quoting has said he expects to run for a second term. Expect that he's going to run for a second term, but AIDS say he understands the effect on his ability to advance his agenda if Republicans regain power in Congress next year, end quote. Now, why would the New York Times write a story about Joe Biden swearing at his aides and arguing with his aides and saying that there's hours of debates? I think that's because it's trying to show that he is in charge of his faculties and he is actually doing something all day. I think this is a smokescreen.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Because how could you possibly say he's just a puppet? He's not doing anything. If you're reading stories about him, man, he just, he's into the minutia. He's in every bit. And does anybody believe, that he is actually doing that? Maybe he is, but do you think he's, he's running anything?
Starting point is 00:39:46 Do you think he's the guy who gets up in the morning and says, hey, I had this idea last night and I want to do this. And then he starts these debates going on? I don't think so. Do you do you, Stu? No, I don't think he certainly don't, I don't think of him as the brains behind any operation. But I do think there is, the one thing I think he gets, I don't know, gets understated maybe by the conservative media is this idea that he's kind of just sitting around and like, you know, grunting all day and not doing anything. I do think that he sees him, he wants this job, he's wanted this job his entire life.
Starting point is 00:40:27 He does not like that people talk about him in that way. And I think at times he stands up to his people and says, no, do this. I'm the president of the United States, damn it. That being said, I mean, he doesn't have a direction. You know, he has this, he goes along with the people generally speaking around him. So I think at times he wrestles control back for a period. But, you know, look, at some point, the early bird dinner is over. It's time to go to sleep for the night at 4 p.m.
Starting point is 00:40:58 and then who knows what the operations, you know, what operations go on after that? We live in interesting times. Thank you, Chinese fortune cookie. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. All right. Back with some good news in just a second.
Starting point is 00:41:24 Before we get into the program today, radio show comes up in just a minute. Let me tell you about Home Title Lock. Home Title Lock is talking about one of the fastest growing crimes in America. We're talking about home title fraud. And it's basically the situation where hackers can get access to your title. They can basically make it seem like you sold your home to them. And then they can borrow against your equity. This is your money. It's not money you see in an account every day, though. So you might not notice it. It might take a long time for it to happen.
Starting point is 00:41:54 They just hacked into one of the biggest pipelines in the United States and took control over a major source of our energy. If they can do that, they can definitely get to your title. Make sure you protect yourself, though, with Home Title Lock. All you have to do is register your address and see if you're already a victim. Then sign up for 30 risk-free days of protection. We've got this. So many breaches going on. We can do a different story about it every single day. Don't let your story be the next one on the air. HomeTidalock.com. Code is radio. Hometitlelock.com. Code is radio. Well, USA Today has named the biggest threat to the Republic. I'm going to give you their conclusion in a minute. Also, I'm glad to say that the
Starting point is 00:43:18 press has worked on the student loans and how it's directly linked to mental health. Student loans is putting undue stress on so many students, and that's why there should be student loan forgiveness because they can't handle the stress. Oh, I've got a few things to say about that. And some good news in 60 seconds. So Janice lives in North Carolina, and her job requires her to take the stairs a lot. Seems terrible. Good heavens.
Starting point is 00:43:56 And the ramps or some sort of an elevator? I try only to walk, you know, the stairs at, you know, the point of a gun. Anyway, she's been dealing with severe pain in her back and hips, and that's why walking up and down those stairs at work every day is a living hell for her. For a long time, she's, just put up with it. There didn't seem to be much else to do. She tried a lot of pain remedies, but none of them ever worked. Finally, she heard me talking on the radio about relief factor, and you know what happened. She took it for a couple of weeks, and she said the pain in her back and hips was starting
Starting point is 00:44:27 to fade within two weeks. These days, it's completely gone. Janice got her life back, and so could you. That's the same thing I saw in my first three weeks, and I actually denied it. I was like, well no i just i think i'm just feeling better you know it just a and as soon as i stopped taking it the pain came right back and the longer i took it the more the pain went away i want you to call for relief factor right now 800 500883 84 it works for about 70% of the people that try it they go on to order more so call them or just go to the website and order the three-week trial pack It's relieffactor.com.

Starting point is 00:45:22 David Barton, the founder of Wall Builders, the author of the book, The American Story, The Beginnings, which is just the best short story read of the American founding that you'll ever read. It is such a great book that tells our story in short little stories that, you know, are not focused on, uh, the, uh, the place and the bridge and the, the date, but actually the story and the names of the people that you've never heard of, the heroes that built this country. Um, it's a great book, the American story, the beginnings. You should go online now and order it. This is a must for every serious person's library. And not that it's a,
Starting point is 00:46:13 you know, serious book. It is a serious scholarly book. but it is one you can read and anyone in the family could read and get a real handle on America quickly. All right. He is also the, what is your title over at the American Journey experience in Mercury 1, David? You're the chairman of the board? Yes, sir. I'm the chairman of the board, but I'm also whatever we need over there. I know.
Starting point is 00:46:39 You're also a little bit of a painter, a little bit of a carpet layer when we need it from time to time. David, David Barton has been by my side for many, many years, and we have been building the American Journey experience and also something that an education series that we have been building for the people who follow him at wall builders and also the people at Mercury 1 that want to come in and learn. So let's start with this week, David. Let's start with what's happening over the American Journey experience. Tuesday, tomorrow is the ribbon cutting of the actual building. We finally, because of COVID, this was supposed to happen last fall, but we finally have it ribbon cutting tomorrow. And what is the American Journey experience?
Starting point is 00:47:37 The American Journey experience really is a documentary truth, if you want to say about what America really is, as opposed to the 1,432,000 narratives that are out there, there aren't accurate. So it's a collection of things that you and I have put together over the years, literally the good, the bad, the ugly of American history, whatever the era, whatever the period, if it's the American founding fathers, if it's slavery, if it's free market or socialism, if it's pandemic shutdowns, whatever it is, it's documented in American history. And we have original documents from every one of those eras and every other area you can think of that allow people to actually see what happened as opposed to the many narratives that are being pushed. So I was over there Friday, and we were talking about the pandemic, and you said, oh, we have something on that.
Starting point is 00:48:35 And ran over to the vault and pulled something out from 1875. Is that right? 1873. 1873. Okay. And it was from the city of Baltimore. Explain what it was. Baltimore was requiring everyone to get a vaccination. At that time, it was a vaccination for smallpox, but you're required to get it.
Starting point is 00:49:00 If you don't get it, you're fined by the city. The city paid for you to get it, but you had to have the receipt and show that you'd been vaccinated, and they went in and inspected and make sure that you had the vaccination. nation, same kind of stuff that we're hearing right now. We're hearing back then. And by the way, also over the weekend, another interesting piece came up, and we found that the election recount of 1800, the states were talking about how they needed to send state militias to the U.S. capital to protect the capital during the recount.
Starting point is 00:49:32 I mean, there's just very few things that we deal with today that we don't have some clue to already having been done in history, but certainly the pandemic thing. I mean, right in the middle of that debate, and there we see it going on in large blue cities even back in that day. Right. And it was, but it was city. It wasn't federal. So the city said, right, and the city, and I have less of a problem with that. And the city was paying for it.
Starting point is 00:49:58 And those vaccines were really expensive. That was a receipt from the city of Baltimore that given to a black woman, right? It was. was a receipt for vaccination. Sarah Ayers, a black woman. It was 10 bucks. And back in 1873, that is a ton of money. Ten bucks was the cost of vaccine. That's right. It was a fortune. Yeah. And remember, the gold coin was $20. So that's like in today's inflation, that's like $2,000. I mean, that's a crazy amount of money. It would have been about under $1,000. in the money back then?
Starting point is 00:50:43 It would, but it was still really high, really expensive. And it's, you know, again, the fact the city is doing it and paying for it. And the fact that it was for black communities and white communities, there's just a lot of fun lessons from even that incident and that one single receipt. And of course, we have tens of thousands of historical documents like that single receipt. And they all have a story with them. and they all do some really good stuff of just helping us understand who we are and where we've been and the decisions we've made previously. It is unlike everything else that your family encounters today, your kids encounter in school, we're not reimagining American history.
Starting point is 00:51:28 We're proving American history with the documents, with the artifacts from the past that show us, even the history we don't want to remember, the history we don't like, It is important that we learn it so we can imagine our lives and imagine the American dream for ourself. We don't reimagine history. History should make us reimagine our lives and our goals and our rights and responsibilities. Okay, so this weekend, we have the American Journey Experience seminar. It is a two-day conference designed for families. and people of all ages.
Starting point is 00:52:12 We have a few slots still open, and you can register at mercury1.com. We are still trying to figure out how the best way we can get people to come. We did this a couple of months ago, and we didn't charge anything, and all of the people from Texas, I shouldn't say all. Most of the people from Texas in the immediate area didn't show up.
Starting point is 00:52:41 And I think that happens when you just makes the things free. People are like, ah, I was going to go, but oh, well. So we're having to charge now for it. So we don't have an empty seat because this is a really important lesson.
Starting point is 00:52:55 It's over two days. David, his son and I teach the class. I mean, they teach the class. I kind of, I'm there for, I guess I'm like the puppet show that happens in between for,
Starting point is 00:53:08 for comedic relief. But we take from the Mayflower, actually a little before the Mayflower, to about what, 1960, David? Yeah, we go up through really kind of the modern era, the space age, what happened in the space age, and we move to that time frame, and it's really kind of interesting how this came about. And by the way, we were just talking about all the documents. that's one of the cool things about being part of the seminar is as we talk about each of these eras and we will cover from as you said from before the pilgrims we really kind of blow up the 1619 narrative real quickly because 1619 is not when slavery came to north America you got to go to 1526
Starting point is 00:53:56 when the Spanish brought slaves to north and south Carolina but nonetheless there's that kind of documentation and we go forward for really the better part of four and a half centuries. And as we talk about the stuff, we will actually bring the originals out and people will get to see and experience the originals. They will get to go through the vault, get to go through the other areas where this stuff happens. So it's an intriguing experience because you actually get to see and experience truth. It's not narrative. It's truth. You get to see what truth is built on, and that is so transformative. And we've now done this for a few years with young people, the Summer Institute, and so many of the parents said, wait a minute, we've seen such a change
Starting point is 00:54:41 in our young people. We want to see some of this stuff, too. And that's really how this came about, was there was a real high demand from parents. So you can bring your family, probably not appropriate for little, little kids, just because it's a lot of sitting and listening. But it's really for all ages, anybody that, you know, can sit and listen. And it's, you know, You can take notes and you will learn more on the story arc of America. That's what this is. We tell you the high points and low points of America so you understand where we started, where we are, and how we got there.
Starting point is 00:55:23 How did we go off track? How do we get back on track? What have we lost along the way? What do we need to restore? What are the bad things that we should be looking to jettison now in, in the way we are as America. So register now. It is this weekend.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Mercury1.com. There will also be summer dates that you will be able to sign up for if you can't make it this weekend, but really just sign up for this weekend. Mercury1.com. Find out all the information there. Now, also, we have something where we are very, very selective on who comes because the classes are so limited. we have the American Journey Summer Institute.
Starting point is 00:56:07 This was our leadership training seminar. It's a two-week conference for students between 18 and 25-year-olds. It's two weeks of non-stop projects, research, lectures, outings. Anybody wants to learn the truth on American history? I will tell you, if your kid is going into college, this is something you should require them to do before. they leave the house. It is, it's quite intensive. And it happens here, again, in Irving or Dallas, Texas at the American Journey experience, as well as with wall builders. Tell us, tell us a little bit
Starting point is 00:56:51 about this one, David. Yeah, this two-week session that we do, and by the way, Glenn, not to diminish your part in this, because nobody I know in the country has a better grasp. of when things turn wrong and when they first turn wrong, then you do. I mean, what you do and being able to point out what progressives did and when they did it, it is invaluable in understanding where we are today and how to get out of where we are. So you are a key part of this as well, and two-week session and the family seminar, all of that. So what we did in the two-week session is we really take all the narratives that we're faced with today, whether it be the narratives over is America, except.
Starting point is 00:57:33 or are we socialistic or should we be or have we been or Marxism. You name the issue that's out there and we will take on that issue and take it back to its root base so that everyone understands, those who come will understand exactly how to deal with that. And whatever a professor says, whatever a peer or colleague says, whatever a friend or enemy says, you'll know exactly how to deal with it. And so it really is the apologetics. It's getting your feet down into all of these areas so that you're you. you really know what truth is and you can defend truth and you can persuade others to the truth.
Starting point is 00:58:09 So it is one of the most grounding programs that we do. And it is literally transformative. It is. A lot of young people have. Testimonials? Go ahead. No, no, no. I was just going to say, I've witnessed it myself.
Starting point is 00:58:26 And, you know, if your, if your child has an open mind and is a serious. individual, they need to attend this because I have seen them change in a two-week period. It is, they understand their responsibilities. They understand what is happening in their world, and their eyes are open to what they've been taught. And they know how to research and find original sources. We've had a student actually teach their teacher, their history, professor wrote on an essay that they wrote and wrote in red ink, not a score just said, you're either a bold, audacious liar, or you know something I don't, and ended up teaching that professor weekly for the rest of the semester. It's game changing because they access
Starting point is 00:59:25 original documents. One more thing that is a problem, and I want to just hint at it here, and David we'll talk about it in one minute. But we're also this year doing a teachers conference, three-day conference for teachers. This is so wildly important because our teachers are going awry because of the unions and everything else. If you're a teacher and you want to stand, how do I do it? That's what the teacher's conference is all about. And David will talk about that here in just a second. You can go to wallbuilders.com or Mercury1.com.
Starting point is 01:00:02 and sign up now. All right. Our sponsor, this half hour is time share termination team. If you have a time share, gosh, I know what you're feeling. I know the pain that you're feeling. You bought into a timeshare. We all make mistakes from time to time. I mean, I almost did this myself.
Starting point is 01:00:22 It is such a nightmare to get out of. And people will tell you you can't get out of them. Well, yes, you can, but you have to have the right legal team on your side. the timeshare termination team is a dedicated team of in-house attorneys. This is all they do. They don't do this part-time. This is it.

Make sure you tell them, Glenn Beck sent you. 10 seconds station ID. From wallbuilders.com is David Barton. And it is dot com or is it.org, David. It's wallbuilders.com and.org.
Starting point is 01:01:35 And the same with Mercury 1 is dot com or.org. Okay, good. So tell me about the Teachers Conference. Yeah, the Teachers Conference is a lot of fun, because we have so many good teachers across the country, but in a lot of ways, they handicap themselves by not knowing the right pedagogy, and I just mean the teaching method.
Starting point is 01:01:53 There is a reason that until 1920, nobody went to school past the eighth grade in America. Once you got to eighth grade, you went to college, you got a career, but that was when school ended, and it was usually only a few months a year that you went to school. It was not based on the formula we have today that if you're a certain age, you have a certain knowledge.
Starting point is 01:02:12 It's totally different. And so what we do is we go back and show, here's how it used to work for hundreds of years. Here's how you get the best results. Here's some of the best teaching methods. And by the way, here's the content because the content is simply not there in most textbooks anymore. And again, just like everything else with American Journey, we take you into the vault. You get to see the actual original educational documents, how we did this, what worked for centuries. You can have someone like Benjamin Franklin who's an elementary school dropout.
Starting point is 01:02:43 be one of the most brilliant guys in America. It's because of the way we taught and what we knew. So that's what we do for teachers. It's a very transformative event for teachers. We give college students, 20, 24-year-old college students, the eighth-grade test, and most of them don't even know what it's even talking about. And it's not that it's, it's not that it's, you know, old-fashioned language. It's just extraordinarily difficult.
Starting point is 01:03:12 Eighth grade. Yeah, that eighth grade X exam that you had in America, you couldn't get your diploma if you couldn't pass this eighth grade X exam. We have never had a college student passed that exam since we've given it. That is truly remarkable. All right. So for teachers, also for students in the summer, both of those are in the summer. Go to wallbuilders.com and mercury1.com or dot org. You can go there now and sign up for this weekend, the American History,
Starting point is 01:03:43 story arc. We will give you in two days all of the touch points that you need with the original documents and evidence from our vault.

They offer military discount to veterans and active duty troops. It's a third-generation American company that believes in the country, believes in supporting our troops, believes in, I mean, this was, this is the country that allowed them to dream and build the very first zero-turn lawnmower. Comes from the old B-50, B-58 Hustler.

From today until the end of the month, Hustler Turf is donating $13 to full. of honor for every lawnmower sold.

When I first suggested the danger of government control inherent in so many federal handouts, there were people who denied vehemently that any such things could ever take place. Together we passed the American Rescue Plan for making one of the largest investments ever.
Starting point is 01:06:17 The deal delivers $1,400 stimulus checks to every qualifying American. There's $350 billion for states, $130 billion for schools, $40 billion for further education, 50 billion in relief for small businesses. Well, how did this come about? Mainly because we have perverted our Constitution. Perverted it with regard to a welfare clause that doesn't exist. Perverted it with regard to the misuse of the taxation system. Perverted it with regard to the interpretation of the clauses on interstate commerce.
Starting point is 01:06:50 And we've done it under such high sounding phrases as... Vaccine shots. A dose of hope. Child poverty. Go back better. Jobs. Farmer. for immigrants.
Starting point is 01:07:00 Forgetting that majority rule becomes mob rule. Won't cancel culture mob. We've heard representatives in the higher echelons of government ask us, well, are you afraid of your own government?
Starting point is 01:07:11 And no amendment to the Constitution is absolute. The House took steps to push toward a vote without Republican support if necessary. Well, to tell you the truth, I am. It was time to remember that we, the people, are the government. But we've decreased our gold holdings

We're already sent more than 160 million checks out the door. Our tax policy today is based in the idea that we're robbing Peter to pay Paul. Well, we'd better take another look. We're robbing Paul to pay Paul, and we're all named Paul. Peter went bankrupt a long time ago.
Starting point is 01:07:51 It's going to help our kids and our business to succeed in the 21st century economy. Now that has a sort of a warm and cozy sound, doesn't it? Today, for every 10,000 of us, it only takes 12 doctors to keep us well and healthy. It only takes 40 mechanics and oil station attendance for every 10,000 of us to keep our automobiles running. 37 telephone employees to keep the vast network of telephones running in this country. But it takes 130 federal employees for every 10,000 to administer the affairs of state. We want to partner with states, with local education officials, with governors. United States Director of Education blurted out.
Starting point is 01:08:32 You don't understand under the plan you propose, we couldn't achieve our social objectives. The past, the Pro Act, and set it to my desk so we can support the right to unionize. Social objectives. The finally secure protection for dreamers. The pay gap between CEOs and their workers, mass migration, climate change. Social objection. The most lethal terrorist threat to our homeland today, white supremacy is terrorism. And now we uncover a memorandum.
Starting point is 01:09:02 We need a ban on a small weapon in high-capacity magazines. We should conduct a systematic effort to contact all publishers and school boards to encourage their publication and adoption of textbooks conforming to established standards. It's an academic theory called critical race theory. Well, if the government is going to build the schools and buy the books, issues scholarships, make judgments, and exert pressure. What if one day that pressure is of a political nature, not to our liking? And it advocates, in short, for the overthrow of the system of capitalism,
Starting point is 01:09:34 meritocracy, equal protection under the law, and even the Constitution itself. We have been Republicans complete with descriptive adjectives and hyphens before the word Republican. Moderate Republicans, liberal Republicans, conservative Republicans, whatever label we chose, the truth is we've been sucker Republicans. People have been gaslit into believing it's simply racial sensitivity training when nothing could be further from the truth. Those adjectives and those hyphens were given to us by our opponents and the time has come to bundle them up and give them back. We can cringe in the shadow of a philosophy we detest but fear to challenge or we can rise from a defeat and begin the second round of our struggle to restore the republic. If you're unwilling to meet this challenge, then you'd better start preparing deciding what you'll teach.
Starting point is 01:10:25 Tell your children it was the two pounds. More they'll want to know. This is the Glenn Beck program. And we thought we would share that speech from Ronald Reagan. How far we have fallen off of the path. Looks like we have some possibly good news from the Supreme Court. A couple of their decisions have been released. Can you give me an update on these, too?
Starting point is 01:10:55 Yeah, one of them is interesting. basically they there's this idea that police can do sort of community um care taking functions is what they call them which you know like would be maybe like a an accident or a a car on the side of the road and go check it out right right that's something that police do obviously all the time the question in front of the court was like does that also include unwarranted seizures and searches of homes Well, so here's the actual, here was the actual argument, I believe, of the case was a police officer, if he looks into, he's walking down the street and he looks into the home and he sees a gun laying on the table and he thinks that might not be a legally acquired gun. Can he go in without a warrant and take that gun or look at that gun, demand to look at that gun? can he do that?
Starting point is 01:11:55 The answer should be a no. And that's essentially what the ruling was. A no. No. It was written by Clarence Thomas, of course. So it was somewhat blunt. No, nine to nothing. You can not.
Starting point is 01:12:13 Thank goodness. That does not include that. No. Thank goodness. That's a good thing for sure. There's some other stuff. Nothing particularly, you know, riveting other than Justice Kavanaugh wrote one, which was kind of fighting with just
Starting point is 01:12:28 Kagan on a couple of different rulings. They seem to have a little bit of a rivalry brewing, which is kind of fun. But other than that, not much. The other big one, though, is that they're going to take on a abortion case. This is big news. And the idea being, I think it's Mississippi's law. They try to pass up at 15 weeks, whether they, whether abortion community. banned after 15 weeks.
Starting point is 01:12:55 It's the can the baby live outside of the womb? If the baby can live, yeah, if the baby is viable, then we should be, we should have to keep it alive. Okay. If it's dependent upon the mother, then no, but you can't abort a baby that can be viable outside of the womb. I don't know why this is so controversial. It used to be, what was it, 21 weeks?
Starting point is 01:13:21 I mean, I've always said as technology gets better and better, we come closer and closer to, you know, conception. It's going the other way because we keep getting better and better at keeping the kids alive or seeing the kids and realizing that they are children inside the womb. Once, you know, it was back in colonial days what they called the quickening. if you if you felt the baby move then you couldn't kill it
Starting point is 01:13:53 but up until that point it wasn't a baby because you know how would you know it could have been a it could have been just a growth a tumor many times it's an antelope that is one of the more common
Starting point is 01:14:05 yeah it's usually an antelope my aunt had a Buick really yeah yeah 56 Buick she was a big woman oh yeah she was a big woman yeah but you never know what's in there
Starting point is 01:14:17 you never know you never know uh it's interesting on this because you know we obviously as conservatives and people who are pro-life are always look at the Roe versus Wade decision as this very negative thing which of course it is however I will say at this
Starting point is 01:14:34 point the Roe versus Wade decision is like a massive move towards conservatism from where we are and that's basically what Roe versus Wade talked about is you know states can ban it after uh after viability um and you know really the second and third trimester
Starting point is 01:14:52 there can be all sorts of rules that that the government can pass to to you know suspend this uh terrible uh thing that we do with when it comes to abortion so we've moved way past that now we're now obviously one of the two parties says abortion for any reason up to one second before death our birth excuse me uh so i mean we're at that point where returning to Roe versus Wade would be a conservative joy. The HHS secretary testified last week. There's no law preventing partial birth abortions. Yes, there is. But the HHS secretary said, no, there's not. No, there's not. So how can I enforce a law that doesn't exist? And the senators were like, but it does exist. Not really. Not really. Oh, are we reimagining this
Starting point is 01:15:45 law too. That's fantastic. When we come back, I want to talk to you about the CDC and the mask thing. Boy, I was on the airlines. The airlines are like Nazis on the mask thing. We'll talk about
Starting point is 01:16:01 the change, the change of heart at the CDC. What happened? 45 days ago, they were like, absolutely not. I am sensing doom. That's a quote. I am sensing doom right around the corner to Now, yep, take the mask off, no big deal. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:16:20 Well, what changed? And I have some confusing and conflicting evidence. What they say changed? Not so much. We'll give that to you here in just a second. First, let me tell you about Omaha Steaks. When you have to make that dinner decision on the fly, there is nothing better than opening up a freezer full of high quality,

This is the Glenn Beck program. So the CDC, the chief now, has said, we don't have to wear masks if you've been vaccinated.
Starting point is 01:19:00 Okay. Now, 45 days ago, 45 days ago on March 29th, she warned the nation of dire days ahead. Quote, I'm going to lose the script. I'm just going to reflect on the recurring feeling that I have. of impending doom. Right now, I'm scared. I know what it's like as a physician to stand in that patient room, gown, glove, masks, shielded,
Starting point is 01:19:27 and to be the last person to touch someone else's loved ones because their loved ones couldn't be there. Now, that was on March 29th. We continue to recommend masking and crowded outdoor settings and venues such as pack stadiums and concerts where there's decreased ability to maintain physical distance, where many unvaccinated people may also be present. Now that, she said, on April 27th. Okay, so what is she saying today? April 27th, we have to, you know,
Starting point is 01:20:01 we have to have outdoor precautions and we have to wear our masks, etc., etc. She says she's following the science. Okay. Well, let me give the science here to Stu, who I know follows all this and tell me what, I'm missing. Excess mortality. What excess mortality, correct me if I'm wrong, excess mortality is we have a certain number of deaths every year. It's a, you know, it's a, it should be kind of like a flat line
Starting point is 01:20:30 unless something big happens. Yeah. You know, and we have a really bad flu season. We don't count the regular flu season. We expect to lose those people. It's everything over what we normally would have. Right. Correct. Mm-hmm. Okay. So we have. had a lot of excess deaths, you know, in the last year. Yes. However, the excess deaths, the week of January 3rd, began to collapse. By February, it was back to summer 2020 levels, which was pretty good, but you could still have maybe a rebound. By March 14th, excess mortality was at one percent above the 2015-2019 average. This occurred even as very few Americans were vaccinated.
Starting point is 01:21:22 When excess deaths began to drop, less than 1% of Americans were fully vaccinated. At the end of January, less than 2%. By the end of March, when excess mortality returned to 2019 pre-pandemic levels, only 15% of the population. had been vaccinated. As of May 11th, only one third of Americans have been fully vaccinated. Even though they've been saying 60, 70% of the population has to be vaccinated.
Starting point is 01:21:55 What happens to, Stu? Well, let me give you the entire answer here in the next 18 seconds before we go to commercial. No, we can do it after the top of the hour. But do you have an, you know what changed? Do you know what changed? Yeah, sure. We can go into that. I mean, it's, okay, good.
Starting point is 01:22:11 But now we have 14 seconds. Yeah, we'll do that next hour and UFOs. Holy cow, did you see 60 minutes last night. This is the Glenn Back program. Right now, if you're entering the real estate market, you've got a lot of questions. I could sell my house if you're in a seller's market like we are in Texas. They could sell my house, but then what is it going to take to replace my house? Where am I going to move?
Starting point is 01:22:39 You need a great real estate agent that if you're selling your house, house in a seller's market that you're going to be able to find something else and they can handle both of those transactions. If you are living in a place where it's not a buyer's market or a seller's market, then you're going to have a hard time getting the full price that you need out of that house. In both scenarios, real estate agents, I trust.com can help you with the right real estate agent. If you're moving across town or across country, they can handle both sides of it. We'll find the right real estate agent where you're moving to and where you're moving from. It's a free service to you. Just go to real estate agents.itrust.com. That's real estate agents.

Hey, China has landed a spacecraft on Mars. Uh-huh. And if they did, it looks suspiciously like exactly the same design as the American ship that went to Mars. Wow.
Starting point is 01:24:36 You designed it yourself, right, China? I mean, you wouldn't have stolen anything from us. I don't even think they made it to Mars, and I'll tell you why. Also, do Martians exist? Are we living with extraterrestrials that are monitoring us all the time? Last night on 60 minutes, the answer was maybe, maybe somebody is. We'll give you that in case you missed it in 60 seconds. You know, I spent a lot of time every day thinking about my health.
Starting point is 01:25:17 and fitness level. I mean, look at me. You do not get a body like this without working hard. So you combine all the hours I spend having to hear things like, put that snack down. I thought you were trying to lose weight. What's with the pizza? You know, I go through hell every day. And when you combine that with all the time I spend about thinking about exercise, I'm practically spending my whole day on health thinking. You know what I mean? One thing that I think about, actually act on is Billbar. That's because the people who make them understand that flavor has to come first. This is the greatest philosophy ever.
Starting point is 01:25:56 These are health-minded people and they said, okay, we're going to start a company, but we're going to go for taste. If it doesn't taste good, we don't make it. And I don't mean like taste clothes. I mean, taste good. That's why they use 100% real chocolate. These things taste like real candy bars, but they're not. They're protein bars, and they're really healthy for you.
Starting point is 01:26:22 I mean, unless you eat them in large, large quantities, but I can't imagine anybody doing that. Build bars are made with 100% real chocolate. They're low calorie, low carb. They're also high in fiber and protein. In other words, good for you and delicious. They've got great flavors that you have to try. The mint brownie?

Starting point is 01:26:58 Builtbar.com promo code Beck 15. All right you then. Let's continue our conversation with Mr. Stubrigere because I'd like to know what changed for the CDC to flip. it because they say we're just following the science, just following the science. Yeah. And I mean, I think they were, at least at the beginning, when we were like, okay, we don't know an awful lot about this. So what do we do? And things change. So I don't give them, you know, when they were changing early on and saying, you know, this could be very deadly, well, yeah, it could have been.
Starting point is 01:27:41 And it was deadly, but it wasn't what we thought it could be, thank God. and I don't think they understand the science of masks or, you know, social distancing. I just read a story today. The increase of New Yorkers in Florida was really heavy. All these New Yorkers going to Florida and moving to Florida, well, why didn't they bring that? Why was Florida's rate so low with so many old people compared to New York? that was fully shut down forever. What happened?
Starting point is 01:28:21 What is the science here? Well, one little part of this, and I know this is not your larger point, but Ron DeSantis decided to try to keep old people alive, as opposed to Andrew Cuomo, who went the opposite way and thought, what if we kill off as many as possible by importing COVID patients into their nursing homes? And that was a questionable tactic. It was early on the dead, though, so who knows? Let me tell you, Mr. Steve Breger, okay? Hey, I know your real name. I know where you live. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:28:51 So America's dumbest mobster was part of why this did happen. But so, you know, and I think DeSantis did a very good job. I mean, the numbers in Florida are around the middle when it comes to, you know, effects from the virus. Was he put less restrictions on overall? You know, part of this, I think is outdoors. to indoors. You know, there was a flare up in the south when people decided, holy crap, it's hot outside. I don't care about this virus. I'm going inside to the air conditioning. And the opposite seems to have happened in the north when it's so cold they don't want to go outside. We've seen flare ups there. When it's nice, when it's spring and summer, they had lower levels of virus. That's just part of it. I mean, you can't just simplify this to one thing. There's a million different. I know. But I was just in Florida this weekend. I didn't see anybody wearing masks in Florida.
Starting point is 01:29:52 It's wide open. You know, but then you go to an airline and it's like, you will wear a mask. Yeah. And you're like, okay, okay, okay, okay, I'm wearing a mask. You don't have not applied it right. Put it over the nose. Make sure it stays over the nose. You're like, okay, okay, okay, okay, I got it.
Starting point is 01:30:13 I thought I was over the nose. I mean, it's, it was a stark difference. It's interesting, too. Between Florida and the airport. That and Texas, with the two places you were flying in between are largely, you know, completely open at this point. Now, it's interesting because the, the guidance on airlines really did change with Biden. And this is something that he can kind of control more directly. And when they always had masks on when Trump was there as well.
Starting point is 01:30:42 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Though they, did you hear the like 14 announcements they had to make about masks during the flight? Oh, not only the 14 announcements, but the 56 announcements that if you violate these rules, you may never be able to fly with us again. Yep, there's threats attached to it. That's true.
Starting point is 01:31:01 Yeah. Yeah. And that's all new. Most of that is at least as new from the Biden administration where he put this on. And I will say like, you know, the CDC did open up. Everyone talked about this is how they opened up all of these things for people who were vaccinated to go do whatever they need to do. The science didn't change between the period two weeks beforehand when they said something
Starting point is 01:31:21 else, but also they didn't open it up to things like airplanes where, again, there's no evidence that a vaccinated person needs to wear a mask on an airplane. In fact, the airplanes with their circulation systems are actually pretty good places and you're unlikely to get the virus on an airplane, you know, but they can. kept those on mass transit, a bunch of other different things that are probably completely unnecessary, but will continue to go. That are all controlled by the government. Yeah. When they can, when they can control it in a central way, they're going to keep it on for longer than any of us are comfortable with. Correct. And that's another reason why you don't have government running everything.
Starting point is 01:32:03 Let me switch gears here, Stu, on the, on what happened on 60 minutes last night. Did you happen to catch any of that? I did. I watched the whole UFO segment, if that's what you're talking about. What did you think? It's pretty amazing. We've talked about this for a while. This would be the biggest story in the world. I feel like any other time we were doing the show. And they can- Any other time in the history of the world.
Starting point is 01:32:29 There was a moment they were talking to the, to the guy, one of the guys who was running this sort of program related to UFOs. And they asked him, they said, you know, what do you think about these? UFOs are you saying that these are possible? He goes, it's not me saying it. He's like, we're well beyond that. The U.S. government is telling you that it's happening. I'm not saying, it's not me
Starting point is 01:32:51 saying it anymore. It's the government telling you. The question is, what are these things? Okay, so cut one, pilot on UFO, it was aware. Listen to this. It was November 2004 and the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group was training about
Starting point is 01:33:07 100 miles southwest of San Diego. For a week, the advanced new radar on a nearby ship, the USS Princeton, had detected what operators called multiple anomalous aerial vehicles over the horizon, descending 80,000 feet in less than a second. On November 14th, Fravor and Dietrich each with a weapons system officer in the backseat, were diverted to investigate. They found an area of roiling whitewater, the size of a 737, in an otherwise calm, blue sea. So as we're looking at this, her backseater says, hey, Skipper, do you? And about that
Starting point is 01:33:50 got out, I said, dude, do you see that thing down there? And we saw this little white, tick-tack-looking object, and it's just kind of moving above the whitewater area. As Dietrich circled above, Fraver went in for a closer look. Sort of spiraling down. Yep. The tick-tack still point north-south, it goes and just turns abruptly and starts mirroring So as I'm coming down, it starts coming up. So it's mimicking your moves. Yeah, it was where we were there. He said it was about the size of his F-18,
Starting point is 01:34:20 with no markings, no wings, no exhaust plumes. To see how close I can get. So I go like this, and it's climbing still. And when it gets right in front of me, it just disappears. Disappears. Disappears. Like gone. It had sped off. What are you thinking?
Starting point is 01:34:38 So your mind tries to make sense of it. I'm going to categorize this as, maybe a helicopter or maybe a drone, and when it disappeared, I mean, it was just... Did your backseaters see this too? Yeah. Oh, yeah. There was four of us in the airplanes literally watching this thing for roughly about five minutes. Seconds later, the Princeton reacquired the target, 60 miles away.
Starting point is 01:35:01 Another crew managed to briefly lock onto it with a targeting camera before it zipped off again. You know, I think that over beers, we've sort of said, hey man, if I saw this, a solo. I don't know that I would have come back and said anything because it sounds so crazy when I say it. You understand that reaction? I do. You've had some people tell me, you know, and you say that, you can sound crazy. I'll be on. I'm not a UFO guy. But from what I hear you guys saying, there's something. Yes. There's definitely something that, I don't know who's building it, who's got the technology, who's got the brains, but there's something out there that was for better than our airplane.
Starting point is 01:35:45 So you know, when they tracked it at 60 miles away, they believe it can pull 6,000 Gs. So you understand that. 10 Gs is what the space shuttle launch of pilot has to take. 10 Gs is right in the area between 9 and 11. You pass out as a human. what can withstand what metal what what device what anything could stand 60,000 Gs nothing we know of now they're saying this could be Russian or Chinese but
Starting point is 01:36:30 I don't think so here play a pilot on UFO could be Russian Chinese tech what do you think when you see something like this this is a difficult one to explain. You have rotation, you have high altitudes, you have propulsion, right? I don't know. I don't know what it is, frankly. He told us pilots speculate they are one of three things, secret U.S. technology, an adversary spy vehicle, or something otherworldly. I'd say, you know, the highest probability is it's a threat observation program. Could it be Russian or Chinese technology? I don't see why not. Are you alarmed? I am worried, frankly.
Starting point is 01:37:14 If these were tactical jets from another country that were hanging out there, it would be a massive issue. But because it looks slightly different, we're not willing to actually look at the problem in the face. We're happy to just ignore the fact that these are out there watching us every day. That's not entirely true. If you want to go back, you want to really go in-depth on this. I did a show with the guy that has partnered who was with the Pentagon, actually Petraeus, was the one who's the one who's selected. him because he was not a UFO guy. And he did the initial investigations for the Pentagon that you're now seeing released.
Starting point is 01:37:52 He's now in a public-private partnership with the United States government and the military. And he explains what they found and the danger that it is posing. Last night on 60 minutes, they only talked about one place. It's up, is it over, it wasn't Norfolk, Virginia. I can't remember. It's one of the bases right around Washington, D.C. I thought it was near Annapolis in Maryland, but there is this restricted airspace, and they are in it every day.
Starting point is 01:38:34 They are monitoring them, that we're monitoring them, and they seem to be monitoring us every single day. They said they've tracked them every day for the last two years. Somebody is monitoring, as you will hear on my Friday podcast. I don't remember what episode it was. Can you see if you can alert the Blaze and see if they can mark this podcast so people know exactly which podcast it is? but we did a podcast about a year ago now,
Starting point is 01:39:13 and it will chill you to the bone, because something is monitoring all of our nuclear bases, and I haven't heard if they're doing them to anyone else. I know they're doing them to our allies. I don't know if they're doing it to our enemies. Is it foreign technology? The answer to that was answered. on my Friday exclusive, the UFO show that we did,
Starting point is 01:39:42 it would be this technology is so far advanced that no country on earth, they believe, could even be close to this technology without it changing everything that they do because it's completely different technology than anything we've ever seen. I think it's, it may be episode number 43, Blaze TV, uh glenbeck friday exclusive episode 43 strange things new evidence may indicate UFOs a possible national security threat that was on a friday show about a year ago you can find that it's it is worth the price of subscription at the blaze just for this one episode it's amazing uh and you can find it at blaz tv dot com slash glen if you use the promo code glen uh you'll get a discount on your year's subscription just

Starting point is 01:42:38 Let me tell you. Right. I know, I know. And the good news is a million Uyghurs were on board. Um, free transportation. And they say they're logging, oh, these camps, they sound first of all, camp always seems like fun. And now free transportation. I mean, lots of people are signing up for, this was training on how to live on Mars. What?
Starting point is 01:43:06 Right. Uh, anyway. Uh, so it, it supposedly landed its rover on Mars. But the BBC on, what, Friday or Saturday, had an article with the actual television landing. You know, it had the Chinese news, you know, official news site, Kairon and all of the markings on it. And it was what they were playing as it landed on Mars. And everybody was celebrating and it landed on Mars. Well, I saw it.
Starting point is 01:43:40 And there is no way that was anything but bad Godzilla animation. I mean, it was really bad, really bad. Oh, it looked so hokey. No dust was coming up as it, you know, was close to the surface. The engines just shut off and it still kind of floated to the ground. I mean, it was so hokey. And you would also have to ask, how did you get the camera there? And how did the camera land set itself up and then track the, to give us a perfect picture of the landing?
Starting point is 01:44:14 You know, we only see from down on the lander. You know, we see the feet and you see the dust and everything and it lands. We don't have a perfect picture of it landing from a distance because there's no cameras on Mars. Maybe they dropped out some Uyghurs first. Yeah. Set up the cameras. I was going to play that video today because I thought it was really hysterical and asked some obvious questions. but that video now has been scrubbed, and now they're only showing animation of what it might have looked like,
Starting point is 01:44:50 but it's not the same footage. It's not the same footage. It's better footage than what they were playing on TV. And I can't find that Chinese television moment where they look to the stars and saw China on Mars. If you can help find it, I'd appreciate it. Okay, let me see here. Let me tell you about to RectTech. They're our sponsor this half hour.
Starting point is 01:45:23 If you've never cooked on a Rectec, you haven't cooked outside. I've had mine for well over a year now, and I can tell you, I love it as much now as I did when I first got it. It is really, really super sturdy, made from solid stainless steel. It was built by grillers who go out and, you know, do those contests. And they were like, there's got to be a better grill. There's got to be it. So they designed one. And then there was like, where did you get that grill?
Starting point is 01:45:51 And they realized, we've got something here. We should sell it to people. It is really great. It's sturdy. You can smoke. You can grill. You can bake. Everything to protection.
Starting point is 01:46:03 It has its own internal temperature, raising and lowering the heat during the cooking. So it is exactly the temperature you need. It'll tell you when the food is done. Smart technology. There's nothing like it. A, B, compare your grill or the grill you want to buy with rec tech. Go online at rec tech with a cue, R-C-T-E-Q.com.

Rachel Maddow was on MSNBC. I think I was sitting in the airport on Friday night. By the way, I have to tell you, I flew out to Florida with Governor Nome on Friday and was with Alan West and Ted Nugent right before that. Fun group?
Starting point is 01:47:18 It was a fun. It was a fun. It was a fun group. Learned a lot. Anyway, I'm watching, I'm sitting in the airport and I'm waiting for the plane and I'm watching the news and I see Rachel Maddow say that she just has to rewire her view of the maskless. Yeah. And she said when I was talking to people today about the new guidance and what to ask Wollenski, everybody had very personal feelings about it. And I realized I did too. Part of it is that I feel like I'm going to have to rewire myself. So when I see someone out in the world who's not wearing a mask, I don't. Don't instantly think you're a threat, you're selfish, you're a COVID denier, and you definitely
Starting point is 01:47:58 haven't been vaccinated. I mean, I guess we're going to have to rewire the way that we look at each other. We have to unwire our preconceptions about what a mask or lack of a mask means. Amazing. That is really amazing. The DCist published an anonymous overheard in DC post, which featured an individual concealing, the face mask is unnecessary, but added, I really don't want people to think I'm a Republican. So they're wearing the face mask.
Starting point is 01:48:33 Well, it does kind of give you evidence that this was never about quote unquote the science. It is. Yeah. It is. I did a show on this last week. We went over this as well, this Maddow clip because it's just representative. And you give Maddow credit in some way of like actually admitting this is how they felt the whole time, because this is certainly the way they acted the whole time.
Starting point is 01:48:55 But it's interesting to hear them actually admit how they saw their fellow citizens as a threat and a denier every time they walked by. You know, that is really, I mean, that's that, that is, you know, gold star kind of stuff, you know, have the gold star on you. So we know you're a Jew. I mean, it, it wired people enough to where they're now having to. rewire so they don't, I mean, I bet Germans had to do that. You know, oh, you're a Jewish person and I didn't see the star, so I don't, I mean, it's weird. It's weird that people would just assume you're a danger. You haven't been vaccinated.
Starting point is 01:49:40 You're a Republican. You're a threat. Yeah. Treating everyone with respect is a good guideline. And it's funny, the left has now found that instinct, because now they're saying, look, look, if you see someone who's still wearing, a mask, we still need to be, we need to be understanding and we need to understand that they might have different choices and that their personal risk assessment may be different than yours.
Starting point is 01:50:03 It's like, are you just quoting Republicans and right-wing talk shows over the past year? Like, I get that there's some differences here. I'm not saying that there's no differences. When people are wearing a mask now, especially now in Texas, I think one of two things. they are just being cautious or polite or they have something extra going on that they have to make sure they're not getting the virus. I don't think bad things about people when they're wearing a mask. I think bad things about the people who are telling everyone to wear a mask in the restaurant when I walk the 10 feet to the table and then I can sit down and not wear the mask. I think bad things about those people.
Starting point is 01:50:49 What are you a moron? You definitely, though, have, it is real and not just the left, that when you see someone in certain circumstances, you make judgments. Like, for example, if I see someone driving in a car by themselves wearing a mask, I always think to myself, what are you doing? And, of course, you know, walking outside by yourself. Right. You're walking in the, you know, on the sidewalk in the middle of nowhere, by yourself. What the hell is wrong with you? Anytime I see anyone outdoors with a mask on, it always crosses my mind.
Starting point is 01:51:25 Oh, this is got to be some crazy liberal whose virtue signaling to everyone. There's no science. I just think moron, which is probably the same thing in my mind. Kind of a summary. You were talking about last hour a little bit, Glenn, about how things have kind of changed for the better over the past few months and what's the cause of it. As deaths have kind of cratered and some people are saying, well, they weren't really enough vaccinations to make the difference there what's actually happening. Am I summarizing that well enough?
Starting point is 01:51:55 Yeah. It's what's happening, you know, the CDC, the number started to crater at the end of January. I mean, really crater. And by May or sorry, by March 14th, we were at pre-pendemic levels of what is called excess deaths. We were back to where we always are. And, What happened in the last 45 days to change their minds that, oh, now it's safe? Right. Well, so I think we're probably not quite back to the normal levels of excess mortality. Some of those numbers are delayed, so they don't wind up catching up until later. But still, we're much lower.
Starting point is 01:52:38 I would say at least the lowest levels since the pandemic started at this point. So the numbers did start coming down from their peak in late June. January. And, you know, there were a lot of people getting vaccinated, but it was still ramping up quite a bit. The one thing that's interesting, you look at that, when you look at deaths and excess mortality, is while there weren't, a lot of people were talking about, I think in the article they said something like, oh, only like, you know, 18% of people were vaccinated at that point. Well, there's a lot of, there's a lot of, there's a lot in the side of those numbers. 18% fully vaccinated of the population was correct for that time period. However,
Starting point is 01:53:19 we know that one shot, just one shot of the two Pfizer-Modernas, gives you about 80% protection. So it's not as good as two shots, but it's really good. I mean, better than they would have expected out of two shots when this thing all started, right? Like, that's how well that the vaccines are performing there. In addition, the people who were vaccinated were almost all old people at that point. Remember, they had, they had, you couldn't even get the vaccine if you weren't, if you were 25 or 35 or 45. It was all 65 plus at that point. Right.
Starting point is 01:53:51 But I mean, but doesn't that prove the point of that we've been saying the whole time, protect the people that need protection. Yeah. You know, let's serve the old people. Let's have this, this crazy, all these crazy rules, I can't even say laws, all these crazy rules that everybody enacted that put everyone into a plastic bubble. It wasn't necessary. Now, it was maybe the first month. We didn't know what we were dealing with. Maybe I'll give you until June.
Starting point is 01:54:23 We didn't really know what we were dealing with. But after that, we're seeing, okay, all right, it's mainly hitting old people. We can isolate people who have, you know, other conditions. Let's concentrate on that. Let's get the vaccine to them first. So if it's mainly old people, the numbers are coming down because mainly the old people were the ones dying. Yeah, we were at over 60% vaccination on
Starting point is 01:54:49 people 65 plus by mid-March. So the death numbers... So that would make sense. Yeah, cratered. Right, that would make sense. Now, there's some, look, when you don't have a vaccine, right, it's a lot harder to do that. You can't... You know, saying like, okay, well, we're going to protect people that are older is
Starting point is 01:55:05 hard at times. It's not easy to do. I mean, look, there are steps you can take like not being Andrew Cuomo that help quite a bit. Right. Just don't intentionally try to kill the people, you're probably going to do a lot better. There haven't been, I mean, name the top three states that have been just on total lockdown. As far as just like policy-wise, yeah, California, New Mexico, New York.
Starting point is 01:55:36 You also talk about Connecticut, New Jersey, Michigan's been high up there. Illinois's been up there. Now, how many of the, how many of those states? have a bigger problem with deaths than Texas and Florida. Most, if not all. I mean, California's per capita data is not terrible. It's more middle of the pack. All the other states are pretty bad, though.
Starting point is 01:56:02 Okay. So I'm not making a judgment on anything. I'm really asking an honest question that I have not heard a satisfactory answer on. Why? Why were those states that were so. lock down, why did they perform, generally speaking, worse than the states that everybody mocked and said, they're all going to die? Why? Why? Part of it is chicken in the egg, right? You don't lock down that hard until you have a problem, which is, you know, so the states that locked down
Starting point is 01:56:36 hardest were the ones that had the worst problems. I mean, California did it relatively early. I think they were the first state to actually lock down. They were. And it really, really, really, the only defense around the world that has actually worked on COVID was catching things super early, right? That was like, you know, South Korea and, you know, some of these Asian countries that were, that are used to these breakouts all the time, were able to kind of handle it better than, than others, even though they did it in ways that were extra constitutional for us. But they were so early that they caught it before it really hit those levels in their communities. Once it, once it's, I mean, like, the only thing that you can argue for these larger
Starting point is 01:57:15 outbreaks, and you kind of pointed it out, was very early in that you can, you can argue that things like lockdowns make, again, I don't agree with it, but some sense when you don't have testing, right? When you have no ability to track who has the virus, you can make the argument. Yeah, that's what you just kind of mentioned. We didn't know what this was. If there's an outbreak again and we go into full lockdown like we did before, we're morons. We're, we're, we don't. We We know what we're dealing with now and we have a vaccine. You can't continue to be lockdowns. But before you know what it is, I mean, all of us were like, wow, this, I mean, this could kill millions of people.
Starting point is 01:58:00 We didn't know. Yeah. We didn't know. We killed hundreds of thousands. I mean, it's been bad. I think that when you look at the improvement, you can see it really well in the age data, where if you break down, from the peak of hospitalizations in January and you look at it by age group
Starting point is 01:58:20 the biggest drop in hospitalizations percentage-wise are people 85 plus the second biggest is 75 to 85 the third biggest is 65 to 75 and on and on with every single age group lining up exactly this way the more vaccinations you have in the population the bigger the drop from the peak of hospitalizations
Starting point is 01:58:41 and it is really compelling data that these things are working. Now, they're much more needed for people who are 75 and 85 years old. We're saving deaths there as opposed to cases among younger people. So it's obviously less of a priority to get younger people vaccinated. Just the only hope there is to get people to the idea that we might get to a real herd immunity where this sort of goes away, like, you know, measles have sort of gone away or polio has gone away, quote unquote. It still exists, but it's not really a factor at all for society. Right now, though, we're already at the level where this is, we're at the lowest, I think the lowest case level, really at the lowest case level since this all started. Because you can go back and find lower case numbers in March and maybe April,
Starting point is 01:59:30 but like that was before we really had testing. This is the best it's been since this thing has started. We are deaths are way down to the lowest level with the exception of, I think it was early June. when the first wave had sort of abated and before the southern wave. There's an argument, too, about, you know, when you were mentioning the states, a lot of those states are northern states. And, you know, the weather is a factor, whether it's season, you know, the season factor, you know, the season factor, whether it's the season factor, whether it's the indoor outdoor factor, where like we had our big flare up here in Texas when it was 108 degrees outside every day and no one wanted to go outside. The North has seen it twice. in cold times where they, you know, they wanted to stay indoors.
Starting point is 02:00:18 They didn't see it in the summer when they, for them, it was nice to go outdoors. Right. So that's part of it. I want to ask you one more question. We have to take a quick break. And I want to ask you one more question about Fauci and the masks. Sure. I can't stand the fact that everybody is, I think, arguing the wrong thing on the masks and how he
Starting point is 02:00:38 changed his mind. And let me explain when we come back in just a second. Imagine that you're one of the millions of Americans just trying to get back into the job market by searching job postings and applying for them. Now imagine that some cybercriminal is targeting people just like you by posting fake jobs designed to trick you into revealing your personal information and your social security number. Well, guess what? This is happening now. And you can protect yourself against it. It's important to understand all of the different ways that people are out there trying to scam you and get your information.
Starting point is 02:01:18 LifeLock helps detect a wide range of identity threats. I mean, they can't find all of them, but nobody can. If they detect your information has been compromised, they'll send you an alert. Plus, you have access to a dedicated restoration specialist if you become a victim.

Starting point is 02:02:00 The pandemic is, it's over. I mean, people in large cities, they don't really understand. At least the media and the politicians don't understand. It's over. It's over almost everywhere. And, you know, they're still going on the masks and everything else. You know, the thing that bothers me about Fauci, besides the lie, that he admits to, so he has no credibility,
Starting point is 02:02:26 is the fact that when he was arguing masks at the beginning, he was talking about N95 masks. They specifically talked about N95 masks. And they wanted those masks and all the masks for the surgeons and for the nurses and everybody else. Well, they told us that those didn't work. And now they say that they do work.
Starting point is 02:02:53 And he lied about the reason. Is there a difference between the N95 mask and the stupid cloth mask and the, you know, the masks that everybody is wearing? Of course there is. Stu? Yeah. There's definitely a huge difference between N95.
Starting point is 02:03:10 And then in between those are just the normal surgical masks, which show that they can do something. So again, even for a surgical mask, the benefit is really, limited and cloth masks, it's hard to find studies that show really any benefit at all from them. And yet those are all the ones we see are, you know, Nancy Pelosi and all these people wearing are the cloth masks. This is the Glenn Back program.
