2:00

Hello America, welcome to the Glenn Beck

2:02

program. We're glad you're here. There is a

2:04

story in the New York Times that drives me out of my

2:06

mind. A bill to force

2:09

Texas public schools to display

2:13

the 10 commandments fails.

2:17

And why did it fail? Republicans,

2:21

Republicans in Texas. We

2:24

all have these kinds of Republicans. If

2:26

you're in a very, very red state,

2:28

beware. We'll tell you about that

2:29

also. Ron DeSantis

2:32

declares his candidacy today at 6

2:34

p.m. with Elon

2:37

Musk on Twitter. He'll be joining

2:39

us tomorrow. And an

2:41

update on Target. We

2:43

begin in 60 seconds. Imagine

2:47

for a moment, if you will, you could get rid

2:49

of your pain. What would life be like?

2:52

Our bodies, when they start to become

2:55

older, when you

2:58

have maybe abused your body

2:59

or you've even taken care of your body,

3:02

but man, now every time

3:04

you're running, it just grinds

3:06

your knees. You

3:08

have inflammation in our bodies

3:11

and inflammation leads to most

3:14

of our diseases and also

3:17

it leads to most of our pain. If

3:19

you can shrink the inflammation and

3:21

get rid of inflammation in your body, you will

3:23

be living much, much better. Just

3:25

went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago and he said, you

3:28

have like no inflammation

3:29

in your body. And I'm like, yeah, ReliefFactor.

3:33

Three-week quick start, $19.95. It's

3:35

a trial pack, not a drug. It was developed

3:37

by doctors. Hundreds of thousands of people have

3:40

ordered ReliefFactor and about 70% of them go

3:42

on to order more. Get ReliefFactor

3:44

3:53

the difference. Well,

3:56

hello Stu. Glenn, how are you? I'm pretty

3:58

good, I'm pretty good.

3:59

I want to tell the story here of

4:03

Target. Now,

4:06

it came out in the New York Post

4:10

just a couple of days ago. Target's top

4:12

executive dismisses the social media

4:14

uproar over the retailer's new line

4:17

of LGBTQ friendly kids'

4:19

clothing.

4:20

Outrage shoppers have posted videos

4:23

and images on social media showing bathing

4:25

suits that offer an extra

4:27

crotch coverage,

4:29

as well as rainbow covered onesies

4:31

for infants and children.

4:34

Other offerings that raise conservative

4:37

hackles include t-shirts that say, pride

4:39

adult drag queen, Katia.

4:41

Trans

4:44

people will always exist. Girls

4:46

gaze, they's. So

4:50

in the podcast last week for

4:52

Fortune, called Leadership Next, the

4:55

CEO of

4:57

Target, Brian Kranell, was asked

5:00

about the backlash to woke

5:02

capitalism, and specifically

5:04

about Budweiser

5:06

and Disney. He said, you know,

5:08

I think these are just good

5:11

business decisions, and it's the right

5:13

thing to do for society. And

5:15

it's a great thing for our brand. The

5:18

things we've done from a D, E,

5:20

and I, diversity, equity, and inclusion

5:22

standpoint, it's adding

5:25

value. It's helping us drive

5:27

sales. It's building greater engagement

5:29

with both our teams and our guests, and

5:31

those are just the right things for business today.

5:34

Spokesperson for the company told Associated Press,

5:37

the tuck-friendly swimsuits are

5:39

only offered, now, in adult sizes.

5:42

Kids Collection does not feature the label.

5:44

Oh, well, that's nice of them. Oh, that's great. Yeah, when

5:46

we think about purpose at Target, he said,

5:49

it's really about helping all the families,

5:51

and the word all is

5:53

very important.

5:56

Most of America shops at Target, so we want

5:58

to do the right thing that supports.

5:59

families across the country. I

6:02

know that the focus on diversity and inclusion

6:04

and equity has fueled much of our growth over

6:07

the last nine years.

6:09

Huh, so it was last

6:11

week, the story was, they're gonna stick

6:13

to their guns. Well,

6:16

Target came out on yesterday,

6:18

Tuesday, said the retail giant

6:20

is going to pull some of its LGBTQ

6:23

friendly kids clothing from its

6:25

stores after facing customer backlash.

6:28

Just days after the company's stock executive

6:31

dismissed the social media uproar, the

6:33

Minneapolis based chain said, one of the

6:35

main factors in the nationwide adjustment

6:37

ahead of pride month was because

6:40

some customers had become violent

6:44

with workers. Well, I hope

6:46

that that is not true. And if that

6:49

is happening,

6:51

I don't want anything to do with that. Idiot,

6:53

if you were to harass a Target employee,

6:55

violent over clothing.

6:58

You're an idiot. Of any sort, but still,

7:00

I mean, this is what they always say, right? Yeah,

7:02

I know. So I don't know if I believe anything. Yeah,

7:05

they always say, oh, we've had death threats. Wait,

7:07

this was always said. Oh. The

7:10

death threat thing is particularly comical

7:13

for anyone who happens to be in, I don't know, AM

7:15

talk radio. Yeah, I know, suck it up,

7:17

Buttercup. Jeez. Since

7:20

introducing

7:21

this year's collection, we've experienced

7:23

threats impacting our team members' sense

7:25

of safety and well-being while it works,

7:27

the Target spokesperson. Given these volatile

7:30

circumstances, we are making adjustments to our

7:32

plans, including removing items that have been

7:34

at the center of the most significant confrontational

7:36

behavior. Target declined to say

7:38

whether it would remove the tuck-friendly women's

7:41

swimsuits that allow trans

7:43

women,

7:44

their men,

7:45

who have not had gender-affirming operations

7:47

to conceal their junk.

7:50

My words, not theirs. One of the LGBTQ

7:53

brands being polled, however, is

7:55

Abpralin, which makes t-shirts,

7:57

sweatshirts, bags.

7:59

Mainly because,

8:03

you know, it's a cult

8:05

and satanic themed LGBTQ

8:09

t-shirts and stuff. I mean, I don't know.

8:11

Um, criticism has been widespread.

8:14

Target spokesperson said folks are reaching

8:16

out with feedback and while some are sharing it with constructive

8:19

criticism, they disagree with product

8:21

decisions that we have made. Um,

8:24

target shares were down 3% yesterday

8:26

at closing.

8:30

So it's good for their brand.

8:32

Good for their brand.

8:33

Uh, no, actually not good.

8:36

You are beginning to have an effect. You,

8:40

anyone, anyone that

8:42

you know is like, let's go and tear

8:44

it down. Tell them they're

8:46

a moron. You're

8:49

beginning to win already.

8:52

ESG, any ESG

8:55

fund is way down.

8:58

They're not introducing, uh, they're

9:00

introducing half of the number of funds

9:03

than they did last year. That's

9:05

because you're winning.

9:09

Now you have, uh, Budweiser

9:12

on the ropes. I mean, have you heard the ads

9:14

from, uh, one

9:16

of the local bottling companies in

9:19

Alabama did an ad and

9:22

they're, it's a really bad ad, but it was like, we're

9:24

sorry, we don't have anything to do

9:26

with this. We have nothing

9:28

to do. We're all local people just like

9:31

you. We disagree. We have nothing

9:33

to do with this.

9:35

Um, but it's getting,

9:37

it's bad. It's, I think this

9:40

is a really fascinating case study, the whole Bud Light

9:42

thing. And I think the target thing is rising

9:44

to that level as well.

9:45

And which like, I don't know exactly how these things work

9:48

or how you do them or how you make it happen,

9:50

but like, you know, like we were talking about this a little bit

9:52

off the other day, uh, obviously Miller Light

9:55

is one of the big alternatives for Bud

9:57

Light. I swear Bud Light is the

9:59

one.

9:59

one. This is Sarah Gonzalez's point,

10:02

which I'm stealing, but I swear Bud Light

10:04

leaked the Miller Light ad because it was old.

10:07

Oh, surely it is. They pushed that out

10:09

there. I think that's it. But Miller Light's

10:11

the alternative, right? But

10:13

then they were doing this too.

10:14

Now, of course Coors owns

10:18

Miller Light. So Coors Light and Miller Light

10:20

are in on all this stuff too. And then Mikolov

10:22

Ultra also released an ad a while ago

10:24

that had a transgender athlete that we just all

10:27

missed. I didn't know what happened. I

10:29

don't care who teaches everybody a lesson.

10:31

Somebody needs to teach and be taught the

10:33

lesson. That's what's fascinating here is maybe

10:36

that's the answer because you really can't boycott

10:38

everybody that does things that you don't like. It wouldn't

10:41

even be consistent with capitalism

10:44

to boycott everybody that disagrees with you. Correct. But

10:46

if you do- It's not even possible. It's not possible

10:48

in this society, but it's also not

10:50

consistent with the principles of capitalism.

10:53

You're not supposed to only do business with people you agree

10:56

with.

10:56

That being said, when you have an example like this,

10:59

and it's making a big difference, their sales

11:01

are down 24%. Their

11:03

stock does seem to finally be reacting

11:06

to this. For a while it really hadn't reacted.

11:08

Because I don't think people thought it was serious as long as it

11:10

was last. Right. And so now you're

11:12

seeing them panic. You're seeing

11:15

real reaction. Disney's the same way. I

11:17

don't know that Disney's business was

11:19

particularly harmed by any of the stuff that happened

11:22

there. But it might

11:24

be. A lot of the stuff that

11:27

has been talked about, we talked about this with the DeSantis

11:29

situation,

11:31

they acted like they

11:33

were blaming DeSantis for this $1 billion

11:36

project that they shut down. In reality,

11:38

they had already pretty much shut it down previously.

11:41

But still,

11:43

nobody wants to be the next

11:45

Disney. Nobody wants to have to

11:47

deal- Correct. Nobody wants to be the next Bud Light. Nobody wants to be the

11:49

next Target. So why bother with this

11:52

stuff? Just stay out of this

11:54

discussion completely? Well I will tell you that I hear

11:57

from...

12:00

Ramaswami, what's his first name? Vavik. Yeah,

12:02

Vavik. Ramaswami, he said,

12:05

I talk to business leaders all

12:07

the time, Glenn. He said, there's a few of them

12:09

that are held hostage.

12:11

He said that they're like, we don't want to do any

12:13

of this, Vavik.

12:14

We just

12:15

can't not do it. I

12:17

think that's more common. I think so too.

12:20

We realize. And you start

12:22

teaching. I don't know if Target is

12:24

a true believer or not. Boy, they sure

12:26

seem like it.

12:27

The fact that they're moving clothes out

12:30

from the front to the back. But they're only

12:32

doing it in certain cities, et cetera,

12:34

et cetera. I

12:36

think they just boycott.

12:40

And this is a women's

12:43

thing, really. The men who go

12:45

to Target and they're like, I'm going

12:47

to tear your face off, are

12:49

not the ones that they're going to concern themselves

12:52

with. Also, are there actually any

12:54

of these people? I don't know. I've never

12:56

seen one. It's possible. Some

12:59

idiot is doing something dumb. Yeah, but you do.

13:02

One person does something dumb, and then it becomes

13:04

the whole thing. But

13:07

women, and I mean, Ricky,

13:09

our executive producer, she's like,

13:11

I'm trying not to go to Target. It's been three

13:13

days. I'm having a hard time not going to

13:15

Target. And I'm like, well, I can give you

13:17

a 12-step class to go to. We'll

13:21

do 12 steps to get you off of Target.

13:24

But it's the women that are going to make the difference

13:26

in this one.

13:27

And if you keep this up, if you

13:30

teach Target

13:32

the Anheuser-Busch lesson,

13:35

you've got two in a row and kind of with

13:37

Disney, three. Yeah, I think Disney counts,

13:39

too. I think, too, one of the things

13:42

that's interesting about the Bud Light thing, and I've gone through

13:44

this myself,

13:45

is it's not as much about some

13:48

sort of organized boycott against

13:50

this company. Because honestly, I don't know that.

13:53

I've heard a lot of people talking about that, but it's not like

13:55

a typical boycott that we've been on the other

13:57

side of, where you have all these big

13:59

organizations.

13:59

One of the things I think with Bud

14:02

Light,

14:02

and maybe Target is getting to that point,

14:05

is that it's created some

14:07

level of societal ickiness.

14:11

It's one of those things that I

14:14

went to, I think I mentioned the story, I went to a wedding

14:16

and they had all the beers up there,

14:18

you could choose whatever you like, and normally, I'm going

14:21

to have one beer at a wedding, I'll probably have a Bud Light

14:23

just because it's the one I'd... But

14:25

I looked at it and I was like, eh, I don't want to get a

14:27

conversation about transgender issues

14:30

tonight with somebody, I'll take a Miller

14:32

Light. And I think that is

14:35

what is actually affecting the sales. I

14:37

don't know that it's like everyone would be like, yes,

14:39

we have people who are shooting... Kid Rock is shooting

14:41

his Bud Light with machine guns, maybe that's part

14:44

of it, but I think part of it too is just people

14:46

want to avoid it and it's

14:48

created this societal pressure

14:51

on people to just choose something else. When

14:54

that happens, when somebody comes

14:56

into the house with a Target bag or

14:59

you say, oh, I got this at Target

15:01

and they'll say, you're shopping at Target,

15:04

that's when this will change. That's when

15:06

it happens. That's when this will change. Yeah, it's

15:08

amazing. I think we are... I've

15:11

been saying this for a while, I have really

15:13

good feelings. I mean,

15:14

bad crap is coming our way, don't get me

15:17

wrong. For those of you who listen for

15:19

the doom and gloom, I'm still here, but

15:22

good things are happening as well. There

15:24

is something happening in America

15:27

and the Anheuser-Busch going

15:29

down and staying down

15:32

and now just in a couple of days,

15:34

I

15:35

mean, the icky feeling happened with

15:37

me and my wife when we were walking through Target

15:39

and it's right there. It's in

15:42

your face.

15:44

As I'm walking

15:46

down the aisle of Target

15:48

right in front of the cashier and I see all of

15:51

this,

15:52

I'm like, really? This

15:55

is who you are? This is who you think

15:58

we are? You think

16:00

that transgender needs a display

16:04

up front? How many

16:07

transgender people are there? You

16:09

are grooming our children.

16:14

It really bothered me, really bothered

16:16

me. Yeah. And, you

16:18

know, when you look at, we just talked about this

16:21

with the social media alert

16:24

from the government yesterday. They

16:27

said as a positive, one of the things about social

16:29

media was it helped people, what

16:31

was it,

16:32

develop their identity in

16:34

LGBTQ issues. That was one of the positive effects

16:36

of social media. And they had tons of negatives like suicide

16:39

and everything else. But one of the positives was if you happen

16:41

to think you might be LGBTQ, this helps

16:43

you develop your identity.

16:46

And

16:46

it's like, well, that's just saying that

16:48

social media is there to

16:51

walk you... I mean, grooming is

16:53

actually a really good word for that. It

16:55

is. It is. It's different

16:58

than the criminal version

17:01

of it, but it is pretty, it's

17:03

a pretty applicable word. You

17:05

know, they say the thing that

17:08

one generation tolerates, the

17:10

next will embrace.

17:12

If you look at

17:14

casual sex,

17:16

we tolerated

17:17

Bill Clinton. Well, it depends what the definition

17:20

of it is. And all of a

17:22

sudden, it became

17:24

totally cool, sex and oral

17:27

sex, all of that, totally fine,

17:29

kids doing it in schools almost immediately.

17:32

Okay? Remember that? So

17:34

where was that story that was in

17:37

Virginia? Alexandria? Alexandria,

17:39

Virginia. Anyway, there was, this

17:42

happened overnight. What

17:46

are we tolerating? We are now

17:48

tolerating Satanism.

17:51

We are now tolerating

17:53

our children being groomed for

17:56

trans drag shows. You

18:00

know what this embraced as a society? Back

18:03

in just a minute. Now

18:05

there are good companies out there that are

18:08

doing their best. In fact,

18:11

Patriot Mobile is one of them and I just read a story

18:13

today because the Republicans

18:17

in Texas failed to

18:20

pass in the House a bill that would

18:22

put the Ten Commandments back in classrooms.

18:25

Last session they had one where you have

18:27

to you can put in God we trust but the school

18:29

can't pay for it but you know

18:31

you can put in God we trust in the schools.

18:34

And so Patriot Mobile is making

18:37

free banners for school for

18:39

schools. Just one of their customers like I'd

18:42

like one of those banners for the schools you can put

18:44

it in and then they have to hang it. So

18:46

anyway Patriot Mobile

18:49

is one of those companies and they're working

18:51

on our side.

18:52

Patriot Mobile has great

18:55

cell service. You're going to get the same cell

18:57

service because they're on the same cell

19:05

You're going to get the same coverage

and you're not going to be donating to

19:37

We were talking about how one

19:39

generation tolerates something and the next generation

19:42

embraces it and how these things that were

19:44

bubbling under the surface that we

19:47

all talked about.

19:48

Hey here's the slippery slope. Slippery

19:51

slope alert. Every conservative talk radio

19:54

station made these points over the years. I know

19:56

you made it a hundred times about how you

19:58

start

19:59

taking. you know, point A and

20:01

then B, C and D are going to be resolved.

20:03

Correct. I'm reminded of this as

20:06

I see this story in the New York Times

20:08

with this headline, interested

20:10

in polyamory? Check out

20:12

these places.

20:14

Laws granting rights to people in polyamorous

20:16

relationships are being recognized in

20:19

more cities. Notice they call it polyamorous

20:21

instead of polygamy. Polygamy,

20:24

which was always the way that it was referred to. It was always

20:26

polygamy. And now it's polyamorous.

20:28

Right. And I guess, I mean, it's

20:30

incredible because they go through

20:33

city after city. It's basically a travel

20:35

guide for polygamists.

20:37

Where should you go? Where can you get more

20:39

rights? Where can all these things get

20:41

recognized? Where can you... And it goes through

20:43

all of this. And each one of the cities

20:46

are hardcore liberal cities

20:49

that are just doing this. Oh, I would love to move

20:51

some of those, you know,

20:54

Mormon, the

20:56

fundamentalist... Fundamentalist. That

20:59

are, they wear the pioneer clothing

21:01

and everything else. They're like way out

21:03

there.

21:04

I would love to

21:06

ship them to one of these liberal cities. Somerville,

21:09

Massachusetts. Because they would love it.

21:11

The town would embrace them. Oh, I'm sure they

21:13

would. Oh, it'd be so great. It

21:16

would be an attack right wingers pouts

21:18

on our new polyamorous laws. They're

21:22

not polyamorous.

21:24

They're bigamists. Remember

21:26

though, when the conversation

21:28

was, hey, look, you know, say what you will about,

21:31

you know, gay marriage or civil unions

21:33

or whatever the thing is. But if you do this, how

21:35

are you going... When the argument is,

21:38

how can you judge love? How

21:41

are you going to stop polyamorous

21:43

from advancing? I guess the answer is call them polyamorous

21:46

instead. That's the defense. How are you going

21:48

to stop people saying, I'm married

21:50

to my AI? I'm telling you, just

21:53

like I told you, polyamorous would happen.

21:55

I'm telling you now,

21:57

people are going to be fighting for the relationship.

22:00

their AI and those will be the people

22:02

that will lead AI to get

22:04

rights. Okay.

22:06

Uh, and it's coming. How, who

22:08

are you to say who I can love? I love

22:11

my AI.

22:12

Who are you to say, uh, who I can

22:15

love and who I can marry? I love

22:17

those three guys, that one

22:19

binary guy, those four

22:22

women over there. And, uh,

22:25

we love it because, hey, it

22:28

takes a village to raise a child

22:30

and we all work together. Can you

22:32

pull that audio so I can take it out of context, please?

22:35

Thank you. I'll be posting that on the internet later

22:37

today. Don't worry. Media matters

22:39

already. Just wait for them to do it.

22:45

The Glenn back program.

22:48

A 9 11, almost 3000 people lost their

22:50

lives on what turned out to be America's darkest

22:52

days or one of them.

22:55

Here we are.

22:56

A generation later and you'd

22:58

hardly know that it happened at all.

23:00

You'll not find out about it in school tunnel

to towers foundation, the 9

23:05

11 Institute aims to change that

23:07

by educating kids from kindergarten

23:10

all the way up through grade 12. Now,

23:12

you're going to have to in kindergarten, you're going to have to get rid

23:14

of the tuck it, uh, bathing suit,

23:17

instruction programs that are going on. But

23:20

I don't know. I think learning about 9 11 would

23:22

probably be better. Their nonfiction

23:25

first person accounts are available both as

23:27

videos in the, uh, discovering

23:29

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

24:31

Well, the real fight is beginning

24:34

tonight at six o'clock. Rhonda

24:37

Santis is going to be announcing

24:39

his presidential

24:41

candidacy and he's going to be with

24:43

Elon Musk. He'll announce it live

24:46

on Twitter at 6 p.m. Eastern

24:48

time. Today he will be on the

24:50

program with us tomorrow. You

24:53

don't want to miss it.

24:54

Tonight on our Wednesday

24:56

night special, I have to tell you, it

24:59

is going to be so easy, the

25:01

right candidate, it will be so

25:04

easy to win against

25:09

really all of the Democrats.

25:11

The stats are incredible.

25:14

Tonight on my Wednesday night special, left

25:16

wing policies and how they are killing

25:19

the

25:20

American dream.

25:22

You know what's happening.

25:27

You feel what's happening. I

25:29

don't think you have any idea of the stats

25:32

of how bad things really are.

25:35

We're going to give those to you tonight to

25:38

help you load up ammunition.

25:40

Oh, he said ammunition. He wants

25:43

people to die in violent war.

25:47

You can make the argument. But

25:51

this is a open

25:53

and shut case on how bad

25:55

things are and how the American dream

25:57

is being suffocated.

25:59

the Biden administration. That's our Wednesday night special

26:02

tonight at 9 p.m.

26:05

Pat Gray joins us from Pat

26:07

Gray Unleashed.

26:08

Good to see the hatred and bigotry

26:11

continue. Well, yeah, I mean, thank

26:13

you. Thank you. Thank you for that. I

26:16

just, would you say Sam Brinton

26:18

is a degenerate?

26:20

Oh, no. No, not at all. No,

26:22

not at all. No, you're talking about the cross-stressing

26:26

nuclear waste guy.

26:30

No, not for a minute when I say that.

26:32

Okay, well, I'm good to hear that.

26:35

Your score just went up.

26:36

Yes, I would. Yes, I would.

26:39

I would call him a degenerate. But

26:41

he's finally been arrested after

26:43

being a fugitive.

26:45

You know, I think he's

26:47

pretty easy to spot, you

26:50

know, bald head, lipstick, high

26:52

heels. That's him. But

26:55

somebody else's bag. Yeah. I understand

26:57

why he's so easy to spot though, because every poll tells

26:59

me that like 35% of people are transgender.

27:02

So why is he so easy

27:05

to spot? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. So

27:07

anyway, he is now in

27:09

the Montgomery County Department of Corrections

27:12

and Rehabilitation Center. And

27:15

he's being housed in the general

27:17

population there in

27:19

the men's prison,

27:21

because they're like, he's a dude.

27:24

We checked his junk. And

27:26

so... Did

27:28

they say that? Is that a quote? They said

27:30

he is processed and housed

27:33

according to his biological sex.

27:36

How do you say that? We do

27:38

not consider... I don't think that happened anymore. I

27:40

didn't think that happened. Yeah.

27:42

We do not consider

27:44

changes brought about by hormonal therapy

27:47

to be changes that constitute a

27:49

change of anatomical sex.

27:51

So,

27:52

check his junk. He's a guy.

27:55

He's a guy. So he's in with the prison. And

27:57

I think he's going to end with a man in the general population.

27:59

I think it's going to be very, very popular.

28:02

Speaking of degenerates,

28:05

you know that the, it's not

28:08

the,

28:08

is it the Dodgers? It's not the Oakland

28:11

A or the Los Angeles Dodgers. Los Angeles

28:13

Dodgers. Los Angeles Dodgers,

28:15

they are celebrating

28:18

and giving an award to

28:20

these

28:22

queer nuns, as they're called.

28:25

Well, some people have been looking into

28:28

the queer nuns and

28:30

the things that they do. And is this

28:33

what, you know, I mean, who is

28:35

the baseball audience? I would imagine the baseball

28:38

audience is a little older,

28:40

probably a little more conservative.

28:42

It's all wrapped up in, you know, apple

28:45

pie, baseball, and

28:47

the flag.

28:48

But in, in

28:50

California, they're going to honor the

28:53

people that mock the mass.

28:57

People have been

28:59

blessed by them in parades by taking

29:02

a fake

29:05

male part and dipping

29:08

it into poppers and

29:11

like holy water, sprinkling

29:13

it onto the people, which is very, very

29:16

nice. They,

29:20

they have offered yogurt

29:22

filled chalices offered at

29:25

a funeral, which

29:27

represents something else

29:30

that you would be drinking. Some

29:33

of the things that they have done,

29:37

there's Foxy Mary, Free

29:39

Choice Mary, Hunky

29:41

Jesus. They take a guy

29:43

who looks like Jesus and they have him straight.

29:46

I mean, it is, it is the center

29:49

of blasphemy. Yeah. It's interesting

29:51

too, because it's not just the typical

29:54

way this would play out. I feel like one of these crazy

29:56

groups comes and they say they buy a bunch

29:58

of tickets in the outfield.

29:59

And then part of that package

30:02

when you buy, you know, 200 tickets, you get

30:04

your name up on the board and you know,

30:06

like, I could see that being like something

30:08

where they say, look, they bought the tickets. We have to do it. This

30:10

is honoring them as heroes of the community

30:13

and having them perform, right? Aren't they performing?

30:15

Yeah, I think so. Yeah. And initially

30:18

there was a whole bunch of fan pushback

30:21

and blowback on this. And so they said, okay,

30:23

nevermind. We'll cancel it.

30:26

Then they apologized to

30:29

the, you know, queer nuns

30:31

and said, no, no, no, I'll come back and

30:34

do your performance. We want to celebrate

30:36

the event. Yeah. They really thought about it. On Pride Month. Yeah,

30:38

they thought about it. What they got was a

30:40

lot of heat from major, probably

30:43

financial institutions and

30:46

what I would deem as terrorists

30:49

who are threatening to pull their scores

30:51

so they can't do business. Are

30:54

you not thinking about your audience, your fan

30:56

base at all? Honestly,

30:58

it's unreal. You, you heard about

31:01

the target CEO. We just talked about them, right?

31:03

So the target CEO is

31:06

like, this is good for business. No,

31:08

it's not. You're now demonstrating that

31:10

it's not good for business,

31:12

but you're not shutting it down

31:14

because you're hearing the cry of people. Instead

31:18

you're just moving it and still

31:20

standing by it. That's

31:22

because when he's talking good

31:24

for business, he means

31:27

global scoring and

31:29

business that way. This is what Anheuser-Busch

31:32

has just been hit with.

31:33

Anheuser-Busch is being nailed

31:37

by the

31:38

human rights campaign, their

31:41

equality store, and they're

31:44

taking away the best places to work.

31:46

And so they've, they have contacted

31:48

them and said, you had the highest

31:51

equity score for,

31:53

you know, coming from the human rights campaign.

31:55

These are the people that remember about a month

31:57

and a half ago, we're starting to.

31:59

bully the insurance

32:02

companies, I think, and saying

32:04

that you have until June to change

32:07

your behavior and show us you're into

32:10

DEI,

32:11

otherwise you will get a bad score

32:13

and we will let federal agencies

32:17

know about it. We will let financial institu...

32:20

it was terrorism. So

32:22

now they are removing Bud

32:25

Light and they're telling Bud Light that

32:27

you're losing your perfect 100 score but you

32:30

have 90 days to respond

32:33

to this letter and depending

32:35

on your response you could lose a

32:38

lot more than that. And

32:41

I think these a lot of these companies are just gonna want to stay out

32:43

of this right because there's no way to

32:45

please these two parties. You

32:47

can't. Well, I think you can. I mean there's a

32:49

hundred beer companies that haven't had this

32:51

situation. Just don't do the crazy

32:54

ad initially. But that is what the Human

32:56

Rights Commission is demanding. This

32:58

year their demand was show

33:01

your support through advertising

33:05

of the transgender community. Yeah,

33:08

I mean I guess you just try to duck it and hope that's

33:10

all you can do because once you get in the middle of this there's no winning

33:12

now for Bud Light now. They're right.

33:15

It's impossible to win.

33:16

They're in this spot once you make that initial

33:18

mistake you're in the middle of

33:20

that crossfire and I don't know that it ever stops.

33:23

Which is you know it's tough and

33:25

that's why you know you're dealing with real business

33:27

problems now. Their stock is actually starting to

33:29

tumble now

33:30

and their first their initial reaction was this

33:33

was like well yeah the prices

33:35

are down but it's like less than 1% of our global

33:38

Bud Light sales.

33:40

And that's a pretty you know like they

33:42

I don't think that would make much of a difference to them at all

33:44

but now you're seeing the stock start to that. Well,

33:47

either it's a number one selling beer in America. Yeah,

33:49

that's only 1% and you're not

33:51

over in Europe you're not buying Bud Light.

33:54

Yeah. There's a totally different taste

33:57

all around the world. I think A it.

33:59

may very well be a lie, which I think is part

34:02

of it. I think B, I think they're manipulating the numbers.

34:04

They're projecting a year's worth of sales

34:06

and only saying a few weeks since this thing has started.

34:09

I think they're manipulating it. But

34:11

my point is, their excuse was, this

34:13

isn't that big of a deal, it'll blow over. And

34:15

their stock price held on that word for

34:17

a couple of weeks.

34:19

Now it started to tumble. And I wonder

34:22

if that's gonna continue. I have to tell you, the reason

34:24

why these companies felt so emboldened

34:26

was because Nike could get away with it.

34:29

And so they saw it and were like, well,

34:32

nothing's happened to Nike, I'm gonna be fine.

34:34

No, I don't think so. I think those days are

34:37

over. I think they are over.

34:39

And I think especially if you are not

34:41

an ideological company, Ben &

34:44

Jerry's can do a lot more than Bloodlight.

34:46

Because Ben & Jerry's is a niche

34:49

product at some level, but also, it's

34:51

always been public with where

34:53

they stand. They're not telling

34:55

you, if you like low taxes, you are evil,

34:57

sorry, day one. But you don't have

35:00

Target. Target's

35:03

not supposed to be doing this. Target has our

35:05

Waco pals

35:07

making their home goods for Target.

35:10

If they start to see sales

35:12

flag, or they get

35:15

enough heat themselves, Magnolia,

35:18

what are you doing doing business with?

35:20

Target will really suffer.

35:23

They've built a really great franchise,

35:26

and they're destroying it right now. One

35:28

good thing is

35:29

finally, finally,

35:31

I'm starting to see people,

35:35

big names in religious community stand

35:37

up. Franklin Graham,

35:39

he's been speaking out for a while,

35:41

but he just had the keynote for the

35:44

opening session of the National Religious Broadcasters.

35:46

And he said, and I quote, there is

35:48

a storm coming,

35:50

and we all have to be prepared.

35:53

Every demon from hell has

35:55

been turned loose in our culture

35:57

today.

35:58

Our world has deteriorated. So

36:01

quickly we cannot be deceived

36:03

and we cannot be fooled. We

36:05

need to get ready and be prepared

36:08

He was talking about You

36:11

know who runs all of their

36:14

all of the shows for the religious broadcasters

36:16

Where are you storing them all in the cloud

36:19

and who owns the cloud?

36:21

We're living in a canceled culture

36:23

and big corporations want to destroy

36:25

Christian organizations. They want

36:27

us to shut our mouths They don't want to hear

36:30

from us.

36:31

He said it is time. You

36:33

must not sit down

36:35

Prepare yourself against the

36:37

growing cancel culture of business insurance

36:40

banking and technology

36:42

Share the hope of Jesus Christ

36:44

in the face of increasingly difficult circumstances If

36:47

you are gonna try to proclaim the gospel,

36:50

they're gonna try to shut you up

36:53

Noting that if one doesn't talk

36:55

about sin and preach the gospel then

36:57

that person doesn't have anything to worry about

36:59

in society But if you're gonna try to proclaim

37:02

the gospel, they're gonna try to shut

37:04

you up

37:05

He said

37:08

Jesus the followers of Jesus feared

37:10

for those their lives in those moments,

37:13

but they felt they had no way out

37:16

He said today

37:19

our culture is facing a massive

37:22

storm preach Don't

37:24

back up

37:25

don't make excuses. We cannot

37:28

retreat do not Apologize

37:30

for the gospel of Jesus Christ the

37:32

laret declare it and preach it

37:35

How well put is that every demon

37:37

from hell has been turned loose

37:39

on our society is true That's

37:41

so try, you know, I a friend of mine

37:44

fact. She's my art teacher,

37:46

you know, she's she's got

37:48

five boys so like Her

37:51

her head explodes all the time because there

37:53

are five young boys and

37:56

I sent her the thing from Target

37:58

showing the the

37:59

the satanic stuff that was

38:02

in and and self-proclaimed

38:06

satanic stuff that was in Target.

38:08

And that was pretty much her. She's like, everything.

38:12

It's like the gates of hell have been opened. Yep.

38:14

And I think it's true. I

38:16

think it's true. It absolutely is. Stand against

38:18

it. Pat, thanks so much. Pat Gray Unleashed

38:20

heard on Blaze TV and wherever you get your podcast,

38:23

getting yourself and your family out of debt has always

38:25

been important. But I think you'll agree with me. It's more critical

38:28

now than ever before. What's coming at

38:30

us with the economy, it is coming

38:33

fast and you don't have to,

38:36

you know, you don't have to be in a bunch of debt when it gets

38:38

here.

38:39

If you're paying

38:43

on credit cards right now, even 15

38:46

to 20 percent, if you're lucky, that's

38:48

too much every month. It's insane. Now,

38:51

this isn't right for everybody, but I want you to

38:53

look at your home's equity.

38:55

If you have ten thousand dollars worth of debt,

38:58

can you roll that in to your mortgage

39:00

and lock it in at five

39:03

percent? You'll pay it off faster.

39:05

You'll also end up being able to possibly

39:07

delay up to two mortgage payments and

39:10

close in as little as 10 days. The

The Glenn Beck Program. So,

39:53

Glenn, we were just talking about the

39:55

craziness of the world and we were relating it to

39:57

sports and it brought me up to, brought me up to,

39:59

my mind to a recent story that has really infuriated

40:02

me. This is a guy, his name is Glenn

40:04

Kuyper, Oakland A's

40:07

announcer. And he

40:10

spends an entire day at the Negro

40:12

League Museum, which is

40:14

celebrating a period of baseball. And it's been a big initiative

40:17

for me, the Major League should be saying. That's a good

40:20

thing. That's a good initiative. These are players

40:22

that should have been in the Major League were forced

40:24

to form another league. And

40:26

so they've been talking about this history quite

40:29

a bit. It's really important. And they've been pushing

40:31

this as an initiative among all these teams.

40:34

So this announcer goes to the museum and spends

40:36

all day at the

40:37

museum and is very excited to

40:39

come back on the air in the pregame show to talk about

40:41

the Negro League Museum. Okay. He

40:43

comes on the air and in an

40:45

incredibly unfortunate mistake, tries

40:48

to say the Negro League Museum and- Oh

40:50

no, he doesn't. He's, yes. Oh. He

40:53

says the N word. Now,

40:55

he doesn't say it obviously with malice. He just

40:57

says it somehow. I

41:01

don't think he does. I'll bet you later

41:03

in the game you address it. I'll bet you if

41:05

you're at the Negro League

41:07

Museum, you're seeing and hearing

41:09

that word all day. All day

41:12

because that's part of the history. An important part

41:14

of that history. So anyway, he

41:16

gets backing from the head of the

41:18

Negro League Museum who says, this guy's not a racist, I've known

41:20

him forever. The most prominent A's black player

41:22

comes out and says, I've known this guy forever, he's not a racist,

41:25

this is ridiculous.

41:25

So is he back broadcasting? They suspend him and

41:28

then they have an investigation and then they

41:30

fire him. They've now fired this guy

41:32

for this. What did they find in

41:35

their investigation? I did,

41:37

that's a great question. I have no idea. We

41:39

should get him on air. The Glenn Beck program.

41:46

You ought to your dogs, make sure that you are

41:48

doing the best to keep him happy and

41:51

healthy

41:52

all throughout his life. And if you're feeding your

41:54

dog

41:56

dried kibble food,

41:59

they're just not getting it. everything they need. Naturopathic

42:02

doctor Dennis Black created the answer, and

42:04

I've been using it with UNO ever since.

42:07

Dog food that's kibble, everything's

42:10

been baked out of it, cooked out of it, has

42:12

to be able to sit on a shelf for

42:14

two years

42:15

and not go bad.

42:17

Gee, so what exactly

42:19

is in that? You put a supplement

42:22

on that food, you sprinkle it on,

42:24

and it puts all of the vitamins, minerals,

42:27

the probiotics, the antioxidants,

42:29

all of it. If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably

42:32

in Rough Greens. My dog goes

43:14

Quinton here runs a sustainable clothing

brand. Hi there. He's excited

43:19

that his shipping company FedEx has set

43:21

a goal of having carbon neutral operations

43:23

by 2040. Impressive.

43:26

When an influencer tweeted about his recycled bamboo t-shirts,

43:29

43:40

now meets next.

43:55

We have no room to

43:58

compromise. We

44:00

gotta stand together in

44:03

the course of life Stand

44:06

up and stand and

44:08

hold the light It's a new

44:11

day on time to rise What

44:18

you're about to hear is

44:21

the fusion of entertainment and

44:23

enlightenment This

44:26

is the Glenn Beck program

44:31

Hello America, well there's something

44:33

going on in Texas and

44:36

it's not common sense This

44:38

is from the New York Times today Bill

44:41

to force Texas public

44:43

schools to display 10 commandments

44:46

fails

44:48

Why did it fail? Well

44:51

I'll tell you And what is

44:53

it exactly we voted for

44:55

these Republicans for again in

44:58

Texas? This is a warning

45:00

to all red states where you think

45:03

you have, you know, we got everything

45:05

under control No, no you don't I'll

45:08

explain in 60 seconds Then

45:10

we're gonna take a look at schools What

45:12

have we done now with schools? Are

45:15

we taking care of those? Dealing

45:17

with aches and pains

45:18

in your everyday life can be really exhausting

45:21

If you ever find yourself thinking about all the things

45:23

you used to do and you can't

45:25

do now And when you were doing it was like

45:27

autopilot now you can't because you're in

45:30

pain May I suggest a

45:32

solution? There is

45:34

a solution that I have found

45:36

and hundreds of thousands of Americans

45:38

have found as well It

45:41

is called relief factor I

45:43

tried it, my wife forced me to try

45:45

it I didn't think it would work because the inflammation

45:47

thing

45:48

with ibuprofen has never helped me

45:50

before And so I thought it was gonna

45:52

be like ibuprofen, it's not I

45:55

tried the three week quick start and

45:57

I have my hands back

45:59

my life back because

46:02

my pain is gone. I couldn't paint,

46:04

I couldn't write. It was agonizing.

46:08

Now I have Relief Factor in my life.

46:11

Please, just give it a try. I don't

46:13

know if it'll work for you, but it worked for me. Relieffactor.com

46:29

A push

46:32

to inject, from the New York Times, a push

46:34

to inject religion into

46:36

public schools across Texas faltered

46:39

on Tuesday after the state house failed

46:41

to pass a contentious bill that would

46:43

have required the 10 commandments to be

46:45

displayed prominently in every

46:47

classroom.

46:48

Now I know the 10 commandments, thou

46:51

shall not murder, thou shall not lie,

46:53

thou shall not steal, very,

46:55

very controversial.

46:58

The only one that they really have a

47:00

problem with are the first two. I

47:03

am the Lord thy God that took you out

47:05

of slavery.

47:07

Kind of an important thing to remember. I

47:10

knew shall have no other gods before me.

47:12

I don't know, really good safety

47:15

tip.

47:16

Really good safety tip as our society

47:19

is being pushed

47:20

into slavery because we worship

47:22

a different God. And that could be your car, that could

47:25

be your job. In many cases

47:27

now in after school classes,

47:29

it's Satan.

47:31

But anyway, it passed

47:34

the Senate, it only had to

47:36

go to the house and pass.

47:38

But we have a Republican

47:41

rhino, he's a Texas house

47:43

speaker, Dade Phelan.

47:45

And gosh darn it, he just ran

47:47

out of time. He was trying to get it.

47:49

Now we only meet every two years.

47:52

They also were trying to get past

47:54

the idea that preachers

47:57

could be school counselors. Well,

48:00

you don't have to go to the school counselor, but

48:03

I know I don't trust any school counselor

48:06

because they're all learning the

48:08

same bull crap.

48:10

And here in Texas, it's different

48:12

than most places. This is a very

48:15

religious state.

48:17

You'll

48:20

hear open conversations everywhere

48:22

about God and Jesus.

48:24

The first time I went to a doctor

48:26

here in Texas, he said,

48:29

okay, before we start, tell me about your spiritual

48:31

health.

48:32

And I went, I'm sorry, I think

48:34

the lawsuit? And we just both

48:36

laughed and he said, yeah, here

48:39

in Texas, we look at the whole spirit

48:41

and body. And

48:44

not all doctors do that, but he did. And

48:47

I appreciate it. So what

48:49

happens? This

48:52

rhino, Dade Phelan, he

48:55

goes and he makes sure that these things

48:57

are not passed

48:59

because they run out of time. They would have passed

49:02

if he would have put it on the schedule,

49:04

but he didn't.

49:05

Now there's something else about Dade that happened

49:08

last weekend. And now our attorney

49:10

general is calling for him

49:12

to resign. I want to play just the

49:15

audio of him

49:17

leading

49:19

the house just last weekend.

49:22

Mr. Speaker, I'll move adoption. Mr.

49:27

Campbell, send the amendment is

49:29

acceptable to the author. Is there objection to the opposite

49:31

amendment? The chair has

49:33

it done. The amendment

49:35

is adopted. The

49:40

chair recognizes Mr.

49:42

Johnson of Harris. Mr.

49:46

Johnson of Harris is speaking in opposition

49:48

to the bill. So

49:58

I share recognize Ms. Niave Crear.

49:59

to speak in opposition to the bill.

50:02

Okay. This guy is hammered.

50:04

Either that or he's having a stroke

50:07

or something like that.

50:10

But you'll see nobody gets up and says,

50:12

are you okay?

50:14

Nobody says, are you okay? Are

50:16

you having a stroke?

50:18

Nobody goes to him afterwards. Nothing

50:21

happens.

50:22

The guy and forgive

50:25

me if he has some, I mean

50:27

I had this on Monday. I didn't air it because

50:30

I didn't know if he was

50:32

having a stroke or something else. Now

50:35

the Texas AG, Ken Paxton

50:38

has come out and said,

50:39

look at this guy,

50:42

hammered

50:43

while he's dropping the hammer

50:46

in the last weekend of legislation.

50:50

That is inexcusable.

50:53

Inexcusable. All

50:56

right. So we didn't pass

50:58

a lot of things, but we did pass

51:01

some things. You

51:04

know,

51:05

we passed a lot of stuff

51:08

here recently about schools because

51:10

of Yevaldy.

51:12

But we only meet every two years.

51:15

So once this session is closed and that's it

51:17

for the law for every two years, and it's fantastic

51:19

by the way.

51:21

But House Bill 13

51:23

is a school marshals program,

51:26

school guardian program, and

51:28

school Sentinel program.

51:30

I don't know where these things good or not.

51:32

We have a retired US Army special operations

51:35

team leader and a combat

51:37

shooting and tactics owner. It's

51:39

Paul Howe. Welcome Paul. How are

51:41

you?

51:42

Glenn, thank you. I am

51:45

doing good. I appreciate you airing this topic.

51:47

It's huge. And it's

51:50

like you said, two years. It's been a year.

51:52

I think today is the anniversary date of Yevaldy.

51:54

It is. So what happens is

51:57

what has been done. Have the legislators,

51:59

it's a clown show. show to a certain extent as you described.

52:04

We have not done their due diligence, figured

52:06

out the problems

52:08

and we need to do that to protect

52:11

our kids. I can give you some ideas. You just

52:13

ask the questions. So let me

52:15

ask you, so House Bill 13,

52:18

what's the school Marshall program?

52:21

Usually that's an 80-hour program and I've had

52:24

instructors. We actually have a guardian program

52:26

on the ground right now. This is our final day

52:28

of instruction. It's armed teachers and staff, but

52:31

it's a hybrid program that nobody will

52:34

touch because of the requirements.

52:37

They're vague. It's not well written. The bills

52:39

are coming in not well written. They don't understand

52:41

the protocols. And so

52:44

what happens is people are going

52:46

to the Guardian, which is less stringent. We've

52:49

trained about I think I'm going to say over 12 ISDs

52:51

as far out as Midland to the Waco

52:54

area to East Texas in school

52:56

Guardian. That's armed teachers and staff and

52:58

we've been doing it for about 10 years right now. And

53:01

has that grown? I mean, I've

53:03

been to a campus here in Texas that have

53:05

these great signs that says some

53:08

teachers and employees

53:11

here will protect

53:13

the children. They are

53:15

armed and dangerous.

53:19

Like, oh, yes, nobody's coming into that

53:21

school.

53:22

Well, if we go to you've all the you've

53:25

all the we saw the trade record and

53:27

then you had Nashville, which is more recently now

53:30

the problem with Nashville the shooter elected

53:32

that school because it was a soft target.

53:35

And what happens is the administrators that approached

53:37

the shooter basically died. And

53:40

so they're waiting for law enforcement.

53:42

Well, Virginia Tech set the template

53:45

the shooter there killed 32 people in 11 minutes.

53:47

Any every minute we did not penetrate

53:50

the target and engage that shooter three people

53:52

died. And so we know the

53:54

answers to the test. Columbine happened in 99. And

53:57

so we're a long time past

53:59

that. And we need to get better because

54:01

the problem with schools is the

54:04

standards. As far as the law enforcement officers

54:06

there, a lot of times there's some great school

54:09

resource officers and they're phenomenal,

54:11

but there's a lot of them that law enforcement agencies

54:13

are using it as a dumping ground

54:16

for officers. And they're not maintaining

54:18

their skills. And these are the folks that

54:20

are going to be shooting around your kids that they can't shoot. And

54:23

they have, we have issues with that. So I'm trying

54:25

to fix that trying to stay. Um,

54:28

you know, I don't want to,

54:29

you know, push the, it's the training standards.

54:32

It's really what it is for the state. Uh, it's pathetic.

54:34

So what, so what have we

54:36

done anything in the last year

54:39

from Yuvaldi? Have we, have we upgraded

54:41

anything?

54:42

Is there a way to fix this?

54:44

Oh, yes, sir. They, uh, what

54:46

happens is we have a, the

54:48

TECO, which is the state, basically

54:51

governing board and they're an action agency that

54:53

makes sure all the standards. The problem is the

54:55

state has very low standards. We have low

54:58

operator standards for police officers, and then the

55:00

instructor standards are horrific as

55:02

well. They haven't been updated in the firearms

55:05

in probably 23 years. Oh

55:07

my gosh. So, oh yes. And so now

55:09

you have officers going in, in schools

55:11

and these are the folks that, you know, we

55:14

understand air marshals and the priority,

55:16

they have a high priority on shooting and qualifications

55:19

and their technical skills. Well, it needs to be

55:21

the same as schools. Yes. So the

55:23

guardians, it's a great augmentation to a school

55:25

resource officer. So we can get

55:27

there within 30 seconds and solve the problem, engage

55:30

the shooter. And then what happens after that,

55:32

the guardians, we train them to medical. And so

55:34

with the medical, what happens is we can

55:37

start treatment immediately. And so

55:39

these problems are going to happen. We know it. We

55:41

have a case history. So as the

55:44

politics in our world, and you see it, I

55:47

listened to you and you know,

55:49

it's frustrating because we know the answers to the test.

55:51

I know. When is America going

55:53

to stand up? When is the conservatives

55:55

in America going to start fighting, you

55:57

know, for they've been pushed back for so

55:59

long. when they're told, no, you can't fight. Well,

56:02

let me tell you, the other side is pushing.

56:04

We have a mental health crisis in

56:06

America. And so it's huge,

56:09

but I try to just say, hey, Texas,

56:12

let's fix this. Okay, so if we change

56:14

the standards, first of all, tell me what the standards

56:16

are. I'm a really good shot, but

56:19

I generally only shoot during

56:21

the summer. I shoot all summer long, and

56:24

I get so busy when I'm down here

56:26

in Dallas that I just don't usually

56:29

shoot unless I don't do

56:31

any live firing.

56:32

And I don't know if I were

56:34

standing in front of a class and somebody came

56:36

in, I

56:37

would hesitate just enough

56:39

because I'd be like, am I good enough

56:41

shot to hit him over there without hitting any

56:43

other kids? You really

56:46

have to be up on your skills

56:48

and confident

56:50

to pull a gun out, especially in a

56:52

school where there's kids everywhere.

56:54

Oh, correct. No, we teach

56:57

the teachers and the guardians now.

56:59

My lead instructor for the civilians, he's

57:01

been running a guardian program for years.

57:04

They actually shoot once a month. Okay, but wait,

57:06

wait, wait, wait. What are the standards though?

57:08

That's what you're doing.

57:10

What are the standards?

57:11

Well, we have seven pistol standards,

57:14

and then what we do is so they have to meet a time

57:16

and an accuracy. So they shoot these standards,

57:18

and then they have to go into a live fire

57:21

environment, which is we have a shoot house, and they

57:23

shoot real bullets. What they do is they

57:25

have to clear rooms, see intersection,

57:28

outside contact, and they have

57:30

to be able to put on tourniquets and do a little bit of medical.

57:33

So they have to complete these and

57:35

we document it. It's just like law enforcement.

57:39

This is not Texas standard.

57:42

This is your standard

57:43

for the guardian program, right?

57:45

Yes, sir. Yeah, okay. Because I

57:48

am willing to go into court and testify

57:50

as an expert witness, and

57:52

all our standards that I teach exceed

57:55

the state law enforcement. Why? Because

57:57

the state law enforcement is unfortunately.

58:01

And they want to keep people and they

58:03

don't want to lose anybody But the problem

58:05

is we want to keep the right people and

58:07

we want the right people going into schools So

58:10

schools all the ISDs go ahead,

58:12

sir

58:12

Just no, go ahead

58:14

finish your thought

58:16

We have schools that want to have their own ISD

58:19

police And so you have these schools and

58:21

superintendents that have never run a police

58:23

department have their own personal police department

58:25

They don't understand the standards of training and

58:28

that becomes a train wreck in itself So

58:30

these officers are not training like they should

58:33

and they're on it should be active shooter response

58:35

And that's their primary goal. Keep the kids safe.

58:38

We want to interdict outside We don't want that problem

58:40

even getting into the school if you watch

58:42

the Nashville footage that

58:45

The bad person drove around right by a playground

58:48

with kids and it could have been horrific

58:51

there So So

58:54

tell me is this something that has to

58:56

be pushed by the state legislature

58:58

Or can you just if if

59:00

you're in,

59:01

you know, you're a parent and you're like I want

59:03

to bring this to the school board I think we should have these guardians

59:06

there. Can yes, can

59:08

people do that?

59:10

Yes, sir and that's that's what happens to

59:12

the people on the school boards now are Asking

59:15

the questions and the right questions and then are

59:18

what is the training standards? and so what

59:20

happens is the more the parents get involved

59:23

and the school board members and Get

59:26

in touch with the superintendents. They

59:28

can make these programs happen It needs to happen

59:30

our County schools. For example, we

59:33

have maybe one deputy north and one deputy

59:35

south in the county It's a 15 minute response

59:37

time to get to that school sometimes depending

59:40

where they're located So that's 15 minutes

59:42

of carnage that can happen unless you have a school

59:45

guardian there and these school guardians can

59:47

be there early late and We

59:49

don't

59:50

we don't advertise who they are. Okay,

59:52

so so do people go to combat

59:54

shooting and tactics calm to find out more

59:57

about this

59:58

Yes, sir. They can do that's where they do

59:59

And by the way, just so people know

1:00:02

who you are, it is my understanding that

1:00:05

Black Hawk Down

1:00:06

was kind of based

1:00:08

on your experience,

1:00:10

was it not?

1:00:12

Yes, I don't like to

1:00:15

put that out there,

1:00:18

but I spoke with Mark Bowden today and

1:00:20

helped him get the story right. We're

1:00:23

coming up on the 30th anniversary of that incident,

1:00:27

and so yes. What

1:00:29

I wanted to do was I left special ops and

1:00:31

decided, punched out

1:00:33

my master's degree and then started my

1:00:35

business to help

1:00:37

law enforcement in the United States. I

1:00:40

believe in giving back. When

1:00:42

you retire, it's just time to get a job you like. You

1:00:45

know how it is. Paul, thank you so much

thank you for what you're doing now. God bless

1:01:05

you. Glenn, take care. Be safe. You

1:01:08

bet. How often do you find yourself just going through the motions when it

1:01:10

comes to feeding your dog? Bowl

1:01:12

is empty, grab the bag of kibble, fill her

1:01:14

up, but you could be giving

1:01:16

your dog something much, much better, a happier,

1:01:19

healthier life just by

1:01:22

altering what you feed or how you

1:01:24

feed your dog, just by a little bit.

1:01:27

You don't have to go buy new expensive dog

1:01:29

food or anything else. You just get all of

1:01:31

the vitamins, minerals, the probiotics,

1:01:35

antioxidants, everything that your dog needs

1:01:37

in their food that is cooked out of kibble

1:01:39

food, put it in. It's called Rough Greens.

1:01:59

10 seconds, Station ID.

1:02:14

You know, I really have a real problem,

1:02:17

a growing problem with the great state

1:02:19

of Texas and our legislature

1:02:22

and our government, our

1:02:24

governor. I mean, it's what are

1:02:26

we doing? What are we doing? Our

1:02:29

country is under attack

1:02:32

and our state house,

1:02:35

the speaker of the house, the guy I just

1:02:37

played for a few minutes ago,

1:02:39

he gave all of the heads of the committees

1:02:42

to the Democrats.

1:02:45

We voted for Republicans. Why

1:02:47

would you give the committee heads, the chairs,

1:02:50

to the Democratic Party?

1:02:52

And we saw this as an effect with school

1:02:54

choice, which should have passed and

1:02:56

actually has

1:02:58

strong support from Governor Abbott

1:03:01

in this particular case, but still was

1:03:03

stopped by people in the legislature.

1:03:05

Yeah. I mean, what is the

1:03:08

point of voting

1:03:10

if when you vote for somebody they

1:03:12

don't do, they just pass the

1:03:15

torch to the other side?

1:03:17

That's ridiculous. Ridiculous.

1:03:22

We should be leading America. I

1:03:25

mean, it really kind of hacks me off. I came to Texas

1:03:27

because, well, it was as soon as I could

1:03:29

get here and I came because there

1:03:31

is a different way of life here. If

1:03:34

I wanted to live in California, I would have moved to California.

1:03:37

If

1:03:37

I want to live in some, you know, wishy

1:03:40

washy state, I would have found one.

1:03:44

No, I moved to Texas for a reason.

1:03:47

I could have moved to Florida. I didn't

1:03:50

because Texas was the one that had

1:03:52

the reputation. I don't

1:03:54

know. I feel like I bought

1:03:56

a lemon here.

1:03:59

They bought something that was advertised

1:04:02

that's different. I'm not as negative on the

1:04:04

state as maybe you are at this point. I'm not

1:04:06

negative on the state. I'm really upset

1:04:09

that Florida is getting the job

1:04:11

done. Look, Florida's a great state. We lived in

1:04:13

Florida, too, and it was a great state. It's a great

1:04:15

state. It's a great place. But as Texans like

1:04:17

to say, it's not Texas. Right. But

1:04:20

you're right. It's not Texas.

1:04:22

And I don't mean that in a good way. Texas

1:04:25

should be leading. That does seem

1:04:27

like a change over the past few years. It's

1:04:29

just in the attitude of people. It seems

1:04:31

to be frustrating people here who've been here for a long

1:04:33

time. Now, I was born in New York

1:04:36

and grew up in Connecticut, so this still seems like paradise

1:04:38

to me. Yeah, but still. I lived here in the 80s and

1:04:40

90s. This is not the

1:04:42

Texas it used to be. Again, I'm comparing

1:04:45

it to something totally different.

1:04:47

And that might be the case. But still, I

1:04:49

mean,

1:04:50

I still talk to people from the Northeast

1:04:52

all the time who are in love

1:04:54

with what Texas is in comparison

1:04:57

to what they have. But that's

1:04:59

a low hurdle to clear for Texas. Yeah.

1:05:01

Right. It's a very low hurdle

1:05:04

to clear. And if we don't start

1:05:06

standing up like they are in Florida

1:05:09

and passing common sense

1:05:12

things, you're done. You're done.

1:05:16

The Glenn back program. Let

1:05:19

me tell you about the Texas wind

1:05:20

farm stew, shall I? This

1:05:22

summer, it's not only time to get

1:05:25

out and fire up the grill. It's a great

1:05:27

time to make everybody

1:05:30

in your neighborhood going, what are you

1:05:32

firing up there, stew?

1:05:34

What do you got out there on the grill?

1:05:36

Yeah, that's right. That's right.

1:05:39

I've got, well, not stew. He's

1:05:41

a zucchini. That's

1:05:43

what I thought it was.

1:05:44

The best quality American meats

1:05:47

you can get your hands on. You can get them from

1:05:49

good ranchers. They are really, really

1:05:52

great. It's great meat.

1:05:54

And it's from America. So it is

1:05:56

supporting our ranchers. These are all from

1:05:59

our local ranches.

1:05:59

ranchers. They are

1:06:02

keeping our ranchers and our farms

1:06:05

in business.

1:06:51

I'm not either but I am but I welcome

1:06:58

to the Glenn Beck program. We're having

1:07:00

a Texas fight. Mr. I'm

1:07:02

not really a native Texan.

1:07:05

I'm not either. But I am I

1:07:07

know Mr. Native Texan from Washington

1:07:10

State. Yeah, I got here as soon as

1:07:12

I could after 48 moves. Yeah, well,

1:07:15

it takes some of us longer to get there.

1:07:17

I've been here three times. This is the third time I've lived

1:07:20

here.

1:07:20

And people don't remember your Corpus Christi.

1:07:23

Okay, let's not play some

1:07:25

old shows. There's no need to be cruel. There's

1:07:28

really not.

1:07:30

There's really not. Anyway, someday

1:07:32

you need to tell the story. Yeah, your Corpus

1:07:34

Christi. I don't think so. But something

1:07:36

else the Texas legislature

1:07:39

under Fallon,

1:07:41

the guy who was apparently drunk

1:07:44

at the last session over the weekend.

1:07:48

He, he failed to pass

1:07:50

a few things. He just ran out of time. One

1:07:53

of them was the bill seeking

1:07:55

to prohibit China, Iran, North

1:07:57

Korea and Russia.

1:07:59

from buying property in Texas.

1:08:03

Meaning like anyone who

1:08:05

is a national, or is it like the government

1:08:07

itself? Government, Russian

1:08:09

citizens and companies.

1:08:12

So if you're a Russian citizen and

1:08:14

you're coming over here

1:08:15

and you want to buy property,

1:08:17

no can do. Well, see, that's

1:08:19

unfortunate because we have, our new policy on the

1:08:22

border is to allow Russian citizens to

1:08:24

just cross whenever they want. Correct, and China.

1:08:26

Because we can't fly them back because we don't have good diplomatic

1:08:28

relations with the country currently. I

1:08:30

don't know why, we wouldn't. I mean, sure

1:08:33

there's that little thing where we're supplying their enemy

1:08:35

that they're more with with tens of billions of dollars

1:08:37

of munitions. Well, in tanks that we had

1:08:39

absolute word that

1:08:43

they would never cross that border and go

1:08:45

into Russia. The

1:08:47

good news is, I just read about this

1:08:49

this morning.

1:08:51

Yes, our vehicles were found

1:08:54

over the border

1:08:56

and they were being used

1:08:58

to fight in Russian

1:09:00

space, something that we said, we had a pinky

1:09:02

promise. But

1:09:04

Zelensky says, no, those were

1:09:06

rebel troops. Those were Russian

1:09:09

rebel troops. So wait,

1:09:11

so do you have the ability to,

1:09:13

I don't know,

1:09:15

keep all your ammunition and all of your

1:09:17

supplies safe? You had

1:09:19

somebody come over and steal

1:09:22

all of our American stuff and use

1:09:24

it across the border? I don't know if you're trustworthy.

1:09:27

Hmm, think of how many

1:09:31

dollars we will spend on

1:09:34

weapons

1:09:35

that will just be stolen by the

1:09:37

Russians. Just so great. Or how

1:09:40

many that will never be used

1:09:42

or how many that will just be misfired

1:09:44

into a field and do nothing. No, you know

1:09:47

what, the ones I like that are being shipped down

1:09:49

to Northern Africa

1:09:51

and Middle Africa

1:09:53

to be used by Islamic extremists.

1:09:56

I love that one. That'll be fun.

1:09:58

I love that one. By the way,

1:09:59

Tonight, Ron DeSantis

1:10:02

is announcing, see, I think this

1:10:05

is my Texas problem.

1:10:07

If Florida

1:10:09

was just sawed off the map and

1:10:12

floated away, then

1:10:14

I would go, Texas is leading the way.

1:10:17

But Florida

1:10:20

is like a dream come

1:10:22

true. Florida is,

1:10:24

I don't know,

1:10:26

the only constitutional state it

1:10:28

feels like.

1:10:29

And standing up for all

1:10:31

the right things and getting it done. And the Republicans

1:10:34

are actually acting like Republicans

1:10:36

should, not like Republicans

1:10:38

do.

1:10:41

Anyway, DeSantis

1:10:43

is going to announce his presidential bid. You're essentially describing

1:10:45

the DeSantis case to be president, right? Like

1:10:48

the fact that he's doing all these things in Florida

1:10:50

and has turned a very purple state

1:10:52

into what you're describing here,

1:10:54

is that's the fundamental

1:10:57

argument for his campaign?

1:10:59

Yes, it is. But it's also the fundamental

1:11:01

reason, if I live in Florida, I

1:11:04

may not want him to leave. He's

1:11:06

only got what, two years left in his term

1:11:09

and then he can't run again. So I hope

1:11:11

he's got this stuff locked down. That's

1:11:13

why he's doing everything through the legislature.

1:11:16

Yeah, I think I, look, the

1:11:19

voters are gonna make the decision on who actually wins here. But

1:11:21

one thing I did appreciate from the strategy

1:11:23

perspective of DeSantis here,

1:11:25

is that there's a lot of pressure

1:11:28

and had to be some temptation inside

1:11:30

that campaign,

1:11:32

as he's taking hits from Trump and other candidates

1:11:34

and the media especially,

1:11:36

to bail on his initial strategy,

1:11:39

which was, do everything you can

1:11:41

for Florida before you get

1:11:43

this started. Maximize

1:11:46

the effort in the actual legislative

1:11:48

session to pass real difference

1:11:51

making bills and initiatives

1:11:55

before you get into this game.

1:11:57

And I gotta believe a month and

1:11:59

a half ago, when...

1:11:59

And some poll numbers have showed that Trump

1:12:02

has opened up this lead. There had to be temptations.

1:12:04

Just, we got to get in there. No one cares what we're

1:12:06

doing in Florida right now. He's stuck to

1:12:08

it. And he pushed this stuff through. I think it will

1:12:10

be part of his argument in the campaign, of course,

1:12:12

but also it was good for the people of Florida. Yeah.

1:12:15

And he told me two years ago, I said, what

1:12:17

do you... I

1:12:21

mean, please tell me these are not executive

1:12:23

orders. And he's like, no, we just have to buckle down and get

1:12:25

him through legislation.

1:12:27

He said, my goal is to leave

1:12:30

the governor's office

1:12:32

with as little power as possible.

1:12:35

So it is a true balance of

1:12:37

power. So nobody can come in here and use this

1:12:39

thing as a dictatorship. And

1:12:42

that's fantastic. As a goal, that's one of

1:12:44

the best goals I've ever heard. One

1:12:46

of the best goals I've ever heard. Yeah.

1:12:49

So he's doing this with Elon Musk. Brilliant. Tonight.

1:12:52

That's interesting. Brilliant. Don't

1:12:54

you think? I believe it's their audio platform.

1:12:57

Basically their streaming audio platform. So

1:13:00

I think this is brilliant

1:13:03

for this reason. Elon

1:13:05

Musk is at

1:13:10

least appearing as

1:13:13

a free speech absolutist.

1:13:16

He is at least

1:13:18

appearing at this point of

1:13:20

being somebody that

1:13:22

is just using common sense. And

1:13:24

I think there's a lot of independence

1:13:27

and even some in the democratic

1:13:30

sphere, not the leftist sphere, but the

1:13:33

democratic sphere that do not

1:13:35

want to vote

1:13:37

for a democrat.

1:13:39

They just don't. But

1:13:42

they need somebody that is kind

1:13:45

of sane.

1:13:46

And DeSantis could run as

1:13:50

hardcore conservative constitutionalist.

1:13:54

But I think he is going to run that way, but

1:13:56

he's also now reaching out to Elon.

1:13:59

on Musk, I think to widen

1:14:02

the tent. I think this is really

1:14:04

good strategy. Because there are a lot of people in

1:14:06

the middle there that are

1:14:08

open

1:14:09

to someone other than Joe Biden. I

1:14:11

mean, I just don't see people that

1:14:14

said last time, I can't vote for Trump. Not

1:14:17

people who said,

1:14:18

I'm tired of this, I want a difference,

1:14:20

but people who said, I cannot vote

1:14:22

for Trump. I don't think that has changed.

1:14:25

Okay. So

1:14:27

I don't know how many of those that didn't

1:14:30

vote for him last time would vote

1:14:32

for him if it would be enough to change the outcome. He

1:14:34

could still, I mean, and he could still win even

1:14:36

without those people. It's just a narrow window.

1:14:39

I think that's the argument against him. And you have to win

1:14:41

Georgia.

1:14:42

Can he win Georgia?

1:14:44

Can he win Arizona? Can he win Wisconsin?

1:14:47

Georgia thinks really tough. I mean, if you look at the profile

1:14:49

since he ran, obviously very

1:14:52

close election that he lost in 2020 there,

1:14:54

he had his problems with that election. But if you

1:14:57

look at what happened after, he tried

1:15:00

to take out many of those big officials he

1:15:02

disagreed with on those election results in the primary.

1:15:04

And the Republican voters did not

1:15:07

react favorably to that. I

1:15:09

mean, they rejected his candidates overwhelmingly.

1:15:12

And Brian Kemp went easily to

1:15:14

reelection

1:15:17

and defeated his, Trump's

1:15:19

hand-shosen candidate in the primary

1:15:21

by massive margins.

1:15:24

If just electorally he's

1:15:26

going to have to be able

1:15:28

to win Georgia, I don't think there's

1:15:31

a really realistic path

1:15:33

to win the election without Georgia. And it

1:15:35

does not seem to be a state where his,

1:15:38

certainly his backward looking message

1:15:40

performs at all. I mean, the

1:15:42

people of Georgia, including Republicans, do

1:15:45

not want to hear it. And they've told Trump that

1:15:47

a bunch of times, and he may be able to win them

1:15:49

over on it or whatever. Maybe he'll change his messaging.

1:15:52

He's had

1:15:53

times where he's done that really well. But

1:15:55

so far, I don't think he's moved

1:15:58

the ball there.

1:15:59

moderated himself to where

1:16:02

he's becoming more of a moderate

1:16:05

on issues. Abortion, trans

1:16:07

issues, those sorts of things. Right.

1:16:10

And I'm not sure

1:16:12

that anybody on the left,

1:16:16

and maybe they are, but

1:16:18

is anybody on the left hearing that?

1:16:21

I think that'll happen when you have DeSantis

1:16:23

because Trump is strangely saying

1:16:26

he's a rhino, that DeSantis is a rhino.

1:16:29

Yet the policies that

1:16:31

he is advocating for are not

1:16:33

rhino,

1:16:34

and the ones that Donald Trump, at

1:16:36

least a few of them, they are rhino.

1:16:39

And so, and I think he's trying

1:16:41

to widen the tent. Donald Trump is trying

1:16:43

to widen the tent there. So

1:16:46

I don't know if it's real or not.

1:16:49

I'll go

1:16:51

back to his record, was

1:16:53

pretty good when he was president.

1:16:56

But

1:16:57

I'm not sure how, they're both trying to widen

1:16:59

the tent. I'm not sure how it works

1:17:01

with both of them. Yeah, you can't.

1:17:05

You basically can't win without

1:17:08

having new voters inside

1:17:10

your tent. You need to come up with somebody

1:17:13

because obviously last year, last

1:17:15

election, didn't work. So you need

1:17:17

to find a different way.

1:17:19

Now I think part of that path is

1:17:22

people realizing how bad Joe Biden

1:17:24

is. That's part of it. But

1:17:28

I mean, I say this, there's

1:17:30

lots of different election theories,

1:17:32

and I don't say this because I've skipped

1:17:35

whatever you think about the election here for a second.

1:17:37

But I think there's a fundamental question here that DeSantis

1:17:40

has an answer for, and he should probably make

1:17:42

as part of his campaign,

1:17:43

which is, if you believe the election

1:17:46

was stolen in 2020, what has happened

1:17:48

since 2020? Well, there's a lot more

1:17:50

Democrats in power. So

1:17:54

whatever you think happened in 2020

1:17:57

is more likely to happen

1:17:59

now than it was.

1:17:59

was in 2020.

1:18:01

Whatever you think that was.

1:18:03

So

1:18:04

I'm not saying that's isn't a way to discourage people

1:18:06

from voting because I don't think that's what

1:18:08

went on. But if you believe that's what went

1:18:10

on, if you believe the election was stolen,

1:18:12

there's

1:18:14

two things. There's two ways to

1:18:16

do this, to avoid that situation.

1:18:19

Overwhelm. Yeah, I was going to

1:18:21

say, one is when you are in power

1:18:23

and can do something about it,

1:18:26

like for example, if you're president of the United States, you

1:18:29

need to be able to push that ball down

1:18:31

the road to solve those problems

1:18:33

and see them coming.

1:18:35

You have to be able to do that. And I think DeSantis can fairly

1:18:37

say, look, he had a chance to fix some

1:18:39

of these problems and he didn't do it. Number

1:18:42

two, the other way you do this, and

1:18:44

DeSantis has some experience here,

1:18:46

when you have a very close election that you

1:18:49

squeak out

1:18:50

like Donald Trump did in 2016, like

1:18:51

Ron DeSantis

1:18:54

did in 2018, the

1:18:56

best path to not have to worry about any of these

1:18:58

problems is to win your next election by 20 points. And

1:19:01

DeSantis has an argument there to say, look,

1:19:04

Trump was not able to expand

1:19:07

the voters that he brought in after 2016. His

1:19:11

victory in 2016 was immensely

1:19:13

impressive.

1:19:15

But

1:19:17

even though I think he did a lot of really good things as

1:19:19

president, he was unable to expand

1:19:21

that

1:19:21

voting base. And

1:19:24

I really thought that the choice between the two would

1:19:26

be enough.

1:19:28

And

1:19:31

it's clearly not enough. Biden's

1:19:35

the weakest candidate I've seen since Jimmy

1:19:37

Carter. Hillary was really bad. Hillary

1:19:40

was really bad. She was bad,

1:19:43

but she wasn't weak. She was just

1:19:45

in the wrong direction like Biden

1:19:48

turned out to be. You

1:19:50

didn't think that all the people

1:19:52

who voted for him was like, oh, he's

1:19:54

going to just moderate. He's old Joe. And

1:19:57

that's Joe being Joe. And

1:19:59

that's what

1:19:59

One, this time, if

1:20:02

it's even close, that is saying

1:20:04

something about the alternative or

1:20:08

about the country.

1:20:10

We have fundamentally transformed

1:20:12

into another country. Yeah, and I think, look,

1:20:15

part of this, as you point out, people

1:20:17

will have woken up to Biden

1:20:19

being worse than they, remember, they

1:20:22

bought the Biden train at some level

1:20:24

because he promised normalcy. He promised

1:20:27

going back to normal things. We were in the middle of a pandemic.

1:20:30

The world was really weird when that election happened.

1:20:32

So you can explain, I think, some of that, and maybe

1:20:34

it would be enough. I don't think, I

1:20:36

think Trump could win the election if he's the nominee.

1:20:38

Yeah, I do too. It's just, it's gonna be hard. But

1:20:41

he can do it. The other side is that DeSantis

1:20:43

could flop as a national candidate. He might be terrible

1:20:46

in these situations. I don't think that's gonna be the case,

1:20:48

but he could be. He hasn't been tested at

1:20:50

all at this level.

1:20:51

So, I mean, it could go either way. It's too early

1:20:53

to know what's gonna happen, but I think today's

1:20:56

the day this election starts. Today is

1:20:58

the day with DeSantis getting in, this is

1:21:00

when this primary actually begins. And

1:21:02

we've got a very interesting 18

1:21:04

months ahead of us. Very interesting. All right, back in

1:21:06

just a second. When things are falling apart,

1:21:09

let's be honest, a lot of them are. One

1:21:11

of the best investments you can make for yourself and

1:21:13

your family is food security. That

1:21:16

way, if there are lines ever at a grocery

1:21:18

store that are going around a block, you're not stuck

1:21:21

outside

1:21:21

waiting to get inside.

1:21:25

This can so easily happen just

1:21:28

with the breakdown

1:21:31

of trucking, the breakdown of

1:21:34

the system again. That seemed

1:21:36

impossible

1:21:37

before, but you see

1:21:40

how easily that could happen.

1:21:42

We go to war with Russia, we go to war

1:21:45

with China. Oh my gosh, the world changes

1:21:48

overnight.

1:21:49

Tell you

1:22:45

a brother from another mother on

1:22:47

many things is Adam Curry.

1:22:50

He was here a year ago

1:22:51

He was an atheist at the time. He has

1:22:54

just done a year of Search

1:22:57

and he just got baptized. He's a Christian now

1:23:00

and He's on the podcast

1:23:02

tomorrow and we talked about AI

1:23:05

He really surprised me on AI.

1:23:07

He's he is

1:23:08

he's a tech guy. He knows this

1:23:10

kind of stuff We talked about

1:23:12

that we talked about What's

1:23:14

going on with the FBI and the CIA? And

1:23:19

and we also talked about his journey

1:23:21

and it is fascinating to hear that

1:23:23

that'll come out tomorrow for blaze

1:23:26

Viewers and listeners and don't forget tonight

1:23:29

Wednesday night special

1:23:31

1:23:50

that's it. That's our tagline. Yeah, it's 8 o'clock

1:23:53

And then my special

1:23:55

one to punch on blaze TV

1:23:59

tonight

1:24:40

What you're about to hear is the fusion

1:24:42

of entertainment and enlightenment.

1:24:46

This is the Glenn

1:24:48

Back Program. Now

1:24:55

a couple of weeks ago, Weiss

1:24:58

ratings did a study,

1:25:01

they did a test of banks and

1:25:03

they said, yeah

1:25:05

I mean you know, looks

1:25:09

like a lot of banks could

1:25:12

fail. And

1:25:14

Stu and I talked about it and we're like, hey that's

1:25:17

not good news. That's

1:25:20

not what I'm hearing from the secretary

1:25:23

of the treasury or the Fed. Yeah,

1:25:25

what a surprise. So before

1:25:29

I really talked about it, I really

1:25:31

wanted to hear it from the horse's mouth to make

1:25:33

sure we got it. So we

1:25:36

have Dallas Brown, he is publisher

1:25:39

at Weiss ratings and

1:25:42

he can tell us what they found about

1:25:44

the banks. It's not going to necessarily

1:25:47

improve your mood, but

1:25:49

it's good to know we have that coming

1:25:51

up in 60 seconds. Also

1:25:53

there's a

1:25:54

ruling from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals

1:25:57

on the

1:25:59

pistol. and

1:26:02

it's nuanced, you really need to

1:26:04

hear it. Okay, your kids go to public school,

1:26:06

look like they've managed to survive, right?

1:26:09

No, they, yeah. Somebody

1:26:12

has asked me this morning, they said, Glenn,

1:26:15

what are you gonna do with the college? And I said, luckily

1:26:17

my son wants to take a year off

1:26:20

before he goes to college. And

1:26:23

I'm gonna spend that year trying to convince him not

1:26:26

to go to college. I think

1:26:28

it is just, I mean,

1:26:29

why are we spending all this money, have our kids brainwashed

1:26:32

and turned into something that they're not? Anyway,

1:26:36

this summer, if you have kids in school,

1:26:39

this summer, when they come out, be

1:26:41

are being exposed to throughout the school

year. Get them started on the Tuttle Twins

1:26:50

1:27:06

and why it's better than other systems. Might

1:27:09

be the worst, but it's the

1:27:11

best of all the rest of them. It's

1:27:13

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

1:27:35

oh, oh, oh, oh,

1:27:35

oh, oh, all right, Dallas Brown, welcome to the program,

1:27:37

sir. How are you? Hey,

1:27:39

Glenn, how are you doing? Good, I'm good. So

1:27:43

I don't know if you know much

1:27:46

about me,

1:27:47

but I tend

1:27:49

to think that we are

1:27:52

running a shell game with

1:27:55

our banks and our Federal Reserve and

1:27:58

our central, our central. banks and our treasury.

1:28:02

And I think we've done such damage to

1:28:04

our banks and they are

1:28:07

just printing money to keep everything looking

1:28:09

like it's okay. I saw

1:28:12

your – so that's my point of view so you know

1:28:14

where I'm coming from and I want you to correct me,

1:28:17

you know, and enlighten me if you have

1:28:19

anything better to say.

1:28:22

I have not heard of Weiss

1:28:24

ratings before but I know

1:28:26

you guys have been around for about 50 years

1:28:28

and in the last bank

1:28:30

crash I think you guys were the ones leading

1:28:33

the way saying trouble.

1:28:35

Isn't that correct?

1:28:36

Yeah, so we

1:28:39

did. So I can get to both

1:28:41

your points really quick but let me just jump

1:28:43

in and tell you who Weiss

1:28:45

is and what we've been doing. So this

1:28:48

analysis we did isn't something that we

1:28:50

just did one time. We rate banks

1:28:53

and many assets, stocks, insurance companies,

1:28:57

bonds and crypto

1:29:00

daily. So we

1:29:02

see the movement that happens based

1:29:04

on liquidity of banks, capitalization,

1:29:07

stability and so

1:29:10

we're very vigilant. Our analysts were very vigilant

1:29:12

about this and so Weiss has been doing

1:29:14

this. They started rating banks

1:29:16

in 1971 and we – so Martin

1:29:22

Weiss is the founder and his father actually

1:29:26

back in 1930, his name is Irving

1:29:30

Weiss, he predicted

1:29:32

the failure of the bank of United

1:29:34

States and so that's where

1:29:36

the catalyst of this came and so in 1971 he

1:29:39

got together with his son and they started rating banks

1:29:42

for safety for consumers and so

1:29:44

we rate every bank and

1:29:46

so it's not just bank, it's also credit unions

1:29:51

and so in 2008 we

1:29:53

named in advance warning all

1:29:55

the major banks that failed during that financial

1:29:57

crisis.

1:29:59

said Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers are going.

1:30:03

Yep. Yep. So it was, it was like

1:30:05

weeks before Bear Stearns

1:30:07

and it was like a hundred and

1:30:09

some odd days before Lehman Brothers announced

1:30:12

that they're, they're gone. Like

1:30:15

it's an end game with them. But

1:30:17

since 2008 there's been 539 bank failures and we have given advance warning on 535

1:30:24

of those. And

1:30:27

similar to those other ones where fraud. Yeah. Yeah.

1:30:29

And so this isn't, this isn't something that we take

1:30:31

lightly here. It's important. It's

1:30:33

important for consumers, but uh,

1:30:36

I, we, we kind of agree with you.

1:30:38

It's, it's not the bank's fault a

1:30:40

hundred percent. It is, it is the government.

1:30:43

It is the government forcing them,

1:30:45

um,

1:30:47

to push this money out, not letting the free

1:30:49

market play a key role in, regulating

1:30:52

the banks. Um,

1:30:54

and they, and they just keep stepping into protect

1:30:57

banks, protect them from the market.

1:30:59

And it's created this monster that's going to be tough to

1:31:01

fix or save. Right. And it's,

1:31:04

and it's only really benefiting, at least

1:31:06

at this point, the big banks,

1:31:08

everything keeps getting folded in to these

1:31:10

banks that we said were too big to fail. And

1:31:12

so we got to make them smaller. Uh, back

1:31:15

in 2008, they're just getting bigger and bigger

1:31:17

and bigger and bigger. I mean, it feels

1:31:20

like we're going to end up with,

1:31:22

well, just a bank of America.

1:31:24

Well, hopefully that

1:31:26

doesn't happen because that's not good for anybody,

1:31:29

uh, in our country at all. Right. I

1:31:32

was talking with, um, a

1:31:34

president of a regional

1:31:36

bank not too long ago. And

1:31:39

he was talking about a nationalized bank and I'm

1:31:41

just like, why, why are you even talking about this?

1:31:43

This is, this is not something that we

1:31:46

want to be, we disgusting. Like, correct.

1:31:48

We need the privatization. Yeah. So

1:31:52

go ahead. This is what we found. Yeah, this, this is what

1:31:54

we found. So basically what's

1:31:56

happening is because of how quickly

1:31:58

they raised interest rates. There's

1:32:01

a lot of banks that are holding bonds.

1:32:05

When someone comes and does a bank

1:32:08

run or we have a lot of people

1:32:10

taking out deposits, especially

1:32:12

ones that have high uninsured amounts, so

1:32:14

that's people that have over 250, the banks are

1:32:18

having a crisis. If they don't have the liquidity

1:32:21

or they don't have the cash to

1:32:23

cover those like a typical bank run,

1:32:26

they have to sell their bonds. On their

1:32:28

balance sheet, the bonds are marked

1:32:30

or held to maturity. They have them marked

1:32:33

as if they were going to sell them in 10 years, 20 years, 30

1:32:35

years. Then

1:32:38

they have to take them now and they take a loss. After

1:32:42

that, if the money that

1:32:44

they're taking exceeds the capital,

1:32:46

it's a game over for the bank. Then somebody has to

1:32:48

step in and save them. We only have two options.

1:32:50

Either we bail out regional

1:32:53

banks, if this starts happening,

1:32:56

or we sell them to

1:32:58

the bigger banks and we lessen

1:33:01

the free market.

1:33:02

This is

1:33:05

what I read a week or two ago.

1:33:09

1,210 institutions, that's banks

1:33:11

and what

1:33:15

do you call them? Credit unions. That's 12.8%

1:33:21

of our banking system got a red

1:33:23

warning flag signaling risk of

1:33:26

imminent failure. 3,000 received

1:33:30

a yellow warning flag indicating risk

1:33:32

of failure in a financial crisis

1:33:35

or recession.

1:33:36

45% of all banks and credit unions

1:33:39

were deemed vulnerable.

1:33:43

If the 12.8%

1:33:45

go down,

1:33:47

then you have a

1:33:49

financial crisis or recession and

1:33:51

that just triggers the other 3,000, does it not?

1:33:54

A lot of these banks are teetering.

1:34:01

loans from other banks or they're

1:34:03

selling their assets

1:34:06

to be able to cover if any type of run

1:34:08

happens. So what we're saying is

1:34:10

there are 12% or 1210 institutions

1:34:16

are at a point where anybody

1:34:18

decided to start pulling money out or or

1:34:20

we had some sort of small panic,

1:34:23

they're not surviving. It's not happening and

1:34:25

that is that is a lot to do with the fact

1:34:27

that they don't have the liquidity based

1:34:30

on the short-term and long-term demands on that

1:34:32

bank. And so when we write banks

1:34:35

we have five different ratings

1:34:37

and there's a hundred and fifty four different data points

1:34:40

we look at within that rating

1:34:43

and then we compare them to the stability across

1:34:45

all of our data on those banks and so we compare 6,000

1:34:48

data points to figure

1:34:51

out what is the stability of this

1:34:53

bank and we rate every bank A through

1:34:55

E. Okay and so A

1:34:57

and B are more stable, C

1:35:00

is in a vulnerable that's the yellow flag right

1:35:03

and then D and E are the red flag

1:35:06

but there's there's there's quite a

1:35:08

bit even in that yellow flag that

1:35:11

if we hit a recession or

1:35:13

we get come into a new financial crisis

1:35:16

they do not have the liquidity or

1:35:18

the cash on hand to

1:35:20

be able to survive.

1:35:22

So what does that mean to the average person?

1:35:27

I've been telling people don't don't pull your money

1:35:29

out of a bank unless you you know unless

1:35:32

I think you're foolish for putting more than two

1:35:34

hundred fifty thousand dollars in a bank a bank

1:35:36

account especially if you're an individual maybe businesses

1:35:39

I understand but

1:35:41

you put

1:35:42

you're gonna get your money back now how much

1:35:44

your money is worth in the end is another

1:35:46

story but don't pull your money

1:35:48

out because you're gonna get that money if it fails

1:35:52

right we don't we don't first off we don't

1:35:54

want to cause panic right yes that's why

1:35:57

that's why the FDIC who understood

1:35:59

that A lot of the problems with these recent

1:36:02

bank failures were they had a lot

1:36:04

of uninsured accounts, right? So that means they were

1:36:06

over to $250,000. The

1:36:09

first thing is don't

1:36:11

hedge your bets. Don't

1:36:13

think that the FDIC has the capital

1:36:15

to cover everybody because they

1:36:18

don't, right? When they came out and said, we're

1:36:20

going to cover all accounts and over the 250,000, they're

1:36:23

just

1:36:25

paying lip service. That's exactly what they're doing.

1:36:28

Well, I think they'll print the money. That's

1:36:31

why I say I wonder how much it'll be worth in the end, but

1:36:34

they'll just print it. It's not the FDIC that will bail

1:36:36

them out. It will be the US Treasury

1:36:39

that will bail them out.

1:36:41

The

1:36:43

first thing I would do is, like you said, never

1:36:45

have over $250,000. And

1:36:49

spread them out because each account is actually

1:36:52

insured. You can have one and one and

1:36:54

one and the other and have a total of $500,000.

1:36:57

In the same bank?

1:36:59

Yeah. Okay. As long as they're in separate accounts,

1:37:01

it's the accounts themselves that are insured.

1:37:04

Okay. So when

1:37:06

you say signaling a risk

1:37:08

of imminent failure, that

1:37:10

means if something happens

1:37:13

or, I mean, imminent failure usually

1:37:15

is like DEF CON 1, the war has

1:37:17

started.

1:37:18

It's coming in.

1:37:20

So everybody, anybody

1:37:22

that is listening

1:37:25

right now can go to WeissRatings.com

1:37:27

and see what their bank is rated. They

1:37:30

don't have to do anything. There's a search at the top.

1:37:33

You get all the information. You don't have to pay for

1:37:35

it. We do this just

1:37:37

because we care about the

1:37:39

everyday person. And

1:37:42

so you can go right now and see what your bank's

1:37:44

rated. If your bank is rated red, there's

1:37:47

a possibility, and I'm not going to say

1:37:49

it's happening, but if it's rated a D or an

1:37:51

E, there's a possibility that even

1:37:53

without a crisis,

1:37:55

they could go under. They

1:37:58

could fail. So what do you do if you're in one of those banks?

1:37:59

because I don't want people to panic and freak

1:38:02

out, but I want them to be safe.

1:38:04

So what do you do if you're in one of those

1:38:06

banks?

1:38:07

So right now,

1:38:10

it's not an issue. We do not have an

1:38:12

issue. And so we're not panicking. Nobody

1:38:15

needs to panic. Nobody needs to go take their money

1:38:17

out. They need to be careful, right?

1:38:20

They need to see where

1:38:22

their money is, see why, because you can see

1:38:25

right there why the institution has rated

1:38:27

that. And if it's a profit problem, if

1:38:29

it is a stability issue, a

1:38:33

lot of these are really small banks, right? And

1:38:38

so what they need to

1:38:40

do is they're gonna be covered.

1:38:43

Everything is covered. Credit unions are covered

1:38:45

in the NCUA. Banks

1:38:47

are covered under the FDIC. And

1:38:50

if you're in one of these small banks, you're just gonna be pushed

1:38:53

into, like we saw with these other

1:38:55

bank failures to happen, into a larger

1:38:57

bank that buys your assets. Or

1:39:00

it's taken over by until they can, they can

1:39:02

tell they can often off the accounts.

1:39:04

And so it's gonna be seamless for

1:39:06

them. But you know,

1:39:08

it's, we have them there just

1:39:10

so when people are looking to get

1:39:12

into banks or looking to not

1:39:15

have to deal with this, they know.

1:39:17

Let me take a break. I

1:39:19

wanna ask you about Bitcoin. I wanna ask you about

1:39:21

insurance, but I also wanna

1:39:24

ask you about the big banks or any of the

1:39:26

big banks in trouble. We'll go there in just

1:39:28

a 60 seconds, stand by. Someday

1:39:31

we'll all have electric cars and we won't

1:39:33

be able to drive anywhere because we won't

1:39:35

have any of the power plants producing

1:39:38

any of the electricity. But the idea

1:39:40

of going someplace, you'll be able

1:39:43

to sit in your garage and, brrrr,

1:39:45

I'm gonna pretend you're going someplace. It's great.

1:39:48

Anyway, Car Shield has affordable

1:39:50

protection plans if you'd like to keep your

1:39:53

car running. Yeah,

1:39:55

it's gonna have breakdowns. That old combustion

1:39:58

engine. Yeah, it's gonna have breakdowns.

1:39:59

But if it's

1:40:02

not a computer chip, it may not

1:40:04

break the bank. But

1:40:08

those things that are computer chips, the big,

1:40:10

big repairs, they

1:40:12

could just sink the whole family.

1:40:15

I have medical insurance because

1:40:17

I know if somebody in my household

1:40:20

has cancer, it could destroy

1:40:22

the whole family. So let's

1:40:24

have catastrophic health insurance.

1:40:28

That's what this is for cars from

1:40:30

Car Shield.

1:40:31

If something big goes, they cover more

1:40:33

parts than ever before.

1:40:35

They have different

1:40:38

plans that'll fit any budget,

1:40:40

but you need your car,

1:40:41

Car Shield, dedicating to protecting what

1:40:44

you have. Get coverage like I have

1:40:46

carshield.com slash Beck. 10 seconds,

1:41:02

Station ID. Okay, any of the

1:41:04

big banks in

1:41:05

trouble? So

1:41:09

I can't give you specifics right now. I'm

1:41:13

not sure if

1:41:15

you're going to be able to do that. I'm not sure.

1:41:17

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

1:41:19

I'm not sure. So I can't give

1:41:22

you specifics right now on individual

1:41:24

banks. I love to

1:41:26

do it, but I have

1:41:29

the overall information, but normally,

1:41:32

I'm going to say this, a lot of

1:41:34

the big banks are

1:41:37

highly rated for us, which

1:41:40

means they're a B or they're an A.

1:41:43

I'm looking at JP Morgan right now. They're

1:41:45

a B+. They have decent liquidity. They're

1:41:48

a major bank. And so they

1:41:50

seem safe. But the issue

1:41:53

here is it's not if they're trouble

1:41:55

or not. It's a catalyst system. Like

1:41:57

when we saw in 2008, it's a catalyst.

1:42:00

people end up holding bags for other

1:42:02

people on bad debt. We

1:42:06

have some interesting things happening here shortly.

1:42:08

Like the commercial

1:42:11

lending industry is gonna go through a little

1:42:14

bump in the road. Yeah, I don't think that's a little

1:42:17

bump in the road. I mean, there's

1:42:19

a lot of big commercial debt,

1:42:21

especially in these giant cities. Who's

1:42:24

gonna fund these things? And

1:42:27

then what kind of interest rate is

1:42:29

it gonna be? I mean, how are you gonna

1:42:32

renew all of this commercial debt?

1:42:35

Yeah, there's a lot of issues

1:42:37

with terms coming due. There's

1:42:39

a lot of issues with cap rates

1:42:41

just getting annihilated. And

1:42:44

so we're gonna see big discounts.

1:42:47

We're gonna see big discounts on commercial properties.

1:42:49

And the thing is, I was

1:42:52

listening to a pun in the other day, not to quote

1:42:54

somebody else I'm listening to, but they

1:42:57

were saying that they foresee that because

1:42:59

there's so much cash out there and

1:43:01

people are being hesitant about

1:43:04

getting into these commercial deals, they might not

1:43:06

even get the foreclosure. They're just gonna be bought on

1:43:08

discount to other investors

1:43:11

because they haven't been wanting to jump in in the

1:43:13

last year because of the crazy interest

1:43:15

rate rises, right? Wow.

1:43:17

Yeah, and so I don't know.

1:43:20

I can't forecast. I'm not a commercial lending expert.

1:43:23

No. Right. I just,

1:43:25

your rating service. So

1:43:27

tell me, do you rate

1:43:29

Bitcoin? I've been concerned about Bitcoin

1:43:32

because of it. We do rate Bitcoin. With everything

1:43:34

that's going on with the Federal Reserve and the government,

1:43:37

how do you rate Bitcoin?

1:43:39

So we have Bitcoin rated right now as an A minus.

1:43:42

And so you gotta understand is, we

1:43:45

individually rate each asset.

1:43:47

So because Bitcoin is an A minus

1:43:50

does not mean that it's better than Apple as

1:43:52

an investment, right? Right. So

1:43:55

we rate things within their own

1:43:57

industry. And so we rate all cryptocurrency.

1:44:00

around cryptocurrencies. We

1:44:02

rate all banks around just banks. And so we

1:44:04

have individual algorithms for each

1:44:07

one. So insurance is another one. We've been

1:44:09

dealing with the mess in Florida,

1:44:11

which you probably know about with the insurance. And

1:44:14

we downgraded the Backstop

1:44:18

Insurance Company for the state of Florida

1:44:21

because it's citizens, because

1:44:24

it's a mess over there. They're

1:44:26

losing money. If another

1:44:28

big hurricane season just

1:44:31

is damaging to

1:44:34

the current state. And right now we've been

1:44:36

kind of working with the ledge a little bit to try

1:44:38

to help them out

1:44:41

to fix this issue, but it's a large

1:44:43

issue. We're based in Florida. We care about that.

1:44:46

Dallas, I thank you very much for coming on and

1:44:48

being a voice of reason and also

1:44:51

of warning and not causing

1:44:53

any panic from anybody, but just sharing

1:44:55

the information. I appreciate it, Dallas. Thank you.

1:44:58

Yeah, no problem. All right. WeissRatings.com

1:45:01

is where you can go and you can see

1:45:04

the ratings of your insurance company,

1:45:06

your banks, et cetera, et cetera. How stable

1:45:08

are they? Do not panic.

1:45:11

Do not pull your money out

1:45:13

of banks. I mean, if you have more

1:45:15

than 250,000 in an account, split

1:45:18

it up, but don't pull your

1:45:20

money out of the bank. It'll be a self-fulfilling

1:45:22

prophecy. Weiss, W-E-I-S-S,

1:45:26

ratings with an S, .com.

1:45:28

All right, back

1:45:30

in a minute, you sick freak.

1:45:39

The Glenn Beck Program. First,

1:45:42

the ground shakes, and it's only a little bit.

1:45:45

You don't immediately feel too concerned, but

1:45:47

then it shakes some more, and then the

1:45:49
