GLENN: Speaking of shortages, 29 percent of the top-selling baby formula products are out of stock and have been out of stong by mid-March.

Data Assembly, which tracks baby formula stock at 11,000 retailers. They say this is a shocking number. They don't see it now for other categories. We've been tracking it over time. It's going up dramatically. We see this category is being affected by economic conditions more dramatically than others.

The second largest pharmacy, Walgreens, with over 9,000 locations announced it's now rationing baby formula.

Guys, we haven't even started yet. Rationing baby formula.

And they say, it is because there was a recall in January. But also, vital ingredients we can't get. Packaging, apparently has problems. But the freight costs are through the roof. And labor shortages.

STU: It's incredible.

A friend of mine had a baby boy.

Premie. I think 24 or 25 weeks, early enough that it was almost impossible.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

STU: Twenty years ago wouldn't have been possible.

GLENN: Yeah. Right.

STU: And touch and go for a while. Lived at the hospital for six months, I think. Finally, came home. And they have to feed him this very specific type of formula that's easy for him to digest, I guess. And they were -- they had months of this formula, at their house. And then this recall happened. They had to throw it all out.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

STU: And now they spent half their time driving around Texas, looking to different Walgreens, and CBSs, hoping to find one cannister of this stuff.

GLENN: Imagine how frightening that would be. If your child couldn't be breastfed. That would be adopted babies. Mothers with some sort of a problem. Babies with problems. I mean, that's got to be terrifying.

STU: Terrifying. And he's like, we have about three weeks left. We should be good, hopefully for now. We have an order from Amazon. Hopefully, it comes. They're on the edge of their seats, trying to figure out whether they can feed their kid or not.

GLENN: Does this get worse, guys?

STU: I think you're right. We're at the beginning.

GLENN: We're at the beginning.

Listen. Take care of it. Do all that you can do. This is so important. Do all that you can do. Don't wait. Get food storage. Buy two of everything when you only need one. And store one. However you want to do it. But do all that you can do. And then trust. Trust that God is good and gracious. And that whatever it is, if you don't have enough, you know, it -- that's why you need a network. That's why you need to rely on -- on others. You're not going to be -- you're not going to starve to death. Not in the America I know. So do all that you know. Please do all you can. And be a blessing to others. Speaking of shortages, how is the car coming? We're almost approaching 7 months now, aren't we?

STU: Oh, no. We're over 7, Glenn.

We're approaching eight months. We should point out. It's eight months since I officially placed the order.

So I went through a very lengthy process of debating and going back and forth.

GLENN: Right.

STU: And finally placed the order that was over seven months ago.

GLENN: Because your car is like ten years old or something, isn't it?

STU: 2011, I think. Coming up on 11 years old.

GLENN: Because you don't flip cars all the time.

STU: No. And I like the car I had. So I just kept it, and now we're at 120,000 miles on it. Now I know, it could ride a little bit longer. But I'm thinking about, every time I get in the car. I'm like, this is -- the transmission will lock up today. Isn't it? Something will happen, where I won't get no value at the end --

GLENN: So you're really ahead of the game, in some ways.

STU: I wish I went earlier. Maybe I would have had the car delivered already.

But so I then decided, you know what, I'll go with an interim car. I'll get a new car that's not exactly the one I want, that's not the one I ordered. Because I want to get something. In case this thing dies.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: But it's running great. It should last a long time anyway. Hopefully. Right as I'm ordering that one. Which is supposed to come in today. Today. We'll see. It was a couple weeks I did it. Then right as I -- three or four days ago, I got an email from the first dealership that said, your order was just pulled for production. I said, what does that mean? And she said, we should have a target production date, within 30 days.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

STU: So that doesn't mean I get the car within 30 days. It means that we needed have a target -- a target production date delivery within 30 days. This is the life we're all going to be living now. This is the life we're all going to be living.

STU: Because I keep thinking how bad my situation is. And it's bad, from the perspective of, this is America.

GLENN: It's not bad. We're not playing a violin for you.

STU: They're supposed to be knocking at my door every hour of the day, to make me buy a car. Remember the car salesman thing? Where they're harassing you all the time.

GLENN: Now they're like, I'm not sure if we can get you into a car.

STU: I'm trying to spend money at these places, they won't even return my call. But my story pales in comparison to your story.

GLENN: Oh, don't bring this up. No, no, no.

STU: Which, I remember -- I think I'm pretty sure Mitt Romney was running for president when you ordered one particular --

GLENN: So I bought an old Toyota land cruiser. And I just -- I just wanted it to work. Okay? Just wanted it to work.

STU: Yeah. Right.

GLENN: And now three years later. Three years later, this place, that I don't know what I was thinking. This place that is -- is working on it. Uh-huh.

Because I blew a gasket last summer. And I'm like, okay. Guys. Put it in a box. Just put it in a box. And send it to me.

STU: So it's an old land cruiser you were sending.

GLENN: To reposition. So you can actually use it, you know what I mean?

STU: How old is it?

GLENN: 1976.

STU: So modernizing it a little bit.

GLENN: Yeah. So put it in a box. No, no, no. You will have it -- you will have it by Christmas.

STU: Well.

GLENN: No, no, no. I -- I made the mistake. I didn't ask which year. Okay? I just assumed, it was last -- and then they said, it will be right after Christmas. Then it will be at the end of first quarter -- now we're at the end of second quarter.

I think they sold this thing. I think it's gone. I think they maybe had a fire. Sold it. I don't know what happened to it. But I don't think I'm ever getting this car. And if they happen to be listening. Put it in a box, and ship it to me. Good God Almighty. You know what, what's happening to us now, now, I have -- an old cabin that was the original rat-infested, falling apart cabin, built in like 1890. And in it, is the original wood stove. And it says right on the front. You know, made in Ohio.

1891. And I have often thought. I mean, the town that that cabin is in, is still only 500 people. So I can't imagine how few people there were living in that area. When that came and arrived in the Wells Fargo area in 1891. And I thought, imagine what a big deal this was. Back then.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: I bet neighbors came from miles around, to see the new stove. If you would have just gotten a new car, I wouldn't -- I would have been like, oh. Seen it in the parking lot. Walked around it. You would have talked to me. Blah, blah, blah. Now, I want to drive it. I've got to see this car. It's like the Wells Fargo wagon. We're going back to a time where they're like, wow. You got a new spoon. Wow.

STU: See, this is the best argument for Biden's presidency. He's increasing the drama for every purchase. You don't think it's going to come. It's amazing.

GLENN: Yeah. Lots of drama. Lots of the regime. All right. Let me tell you about RealEstateAgentsITrust.com. If you're thinking about selling or buying a home. It's not a piece of cake. Especially right now. There used to be more buyers than sellers. But that's going to change quickly. If you just cast your -- you know, hook out there. Good luck. You need to know where the fish are biting. You need somebody who is -- is really good at these waters. So may I recommend, before you just hire some real estate agent, you -- you write to RealEstateAgentsITrust.com. Just go to RealEstateAgentsITrust.com. It's going to ask, are you buying or selling? Where? And usually within five minutes, but we -- I think we guarantee, no longer than an hour.

We will get you the name of the person that we feel we have vetted that is the best in your area if we have somebody in your area. There are 10,000 real estate agents that want to work. And they're on the waiting list. But we -- I think we have 2,000 that are actually on the official list. And that's because we are very, very careful on who we recommend to you. Because this is my company. And you and I have a relationship. It's RealEstateAgentsITrust.com. RealEstateAgentsITrust.com.

(OUT AT 10:46AM)

GLENN: This is the Glenn Beck Program. We're -- we're glad you're here. Let me -- let me play something from Chuck Todd, that happened over the weekend. On Biden. And his grades on the economy.

VOICE: As Democrats look ahead to November. They see a lot of reason for concern. Their top concern, likely the economy. And while measuring the country's economic fissure right now is complicated. The nation's (inaudible) is certainly not.

In fact, the consumer sentiment index from the inner state of Michigan is probably the best thing we have to measure where people think the economy is.

When Biden took office, it sat at '79. It went up a little bit. In sort of B-plus territory. With the covid response improved, it's now sitting at 62.8.

It's basically a failing grade, if you want. Before -- just before the pandemic hit, February 2020. This index was hitting at 101. People felt really good about the economy.

GLENN: Uh-huh. So he's saying --

STU: Huh.

GLENN: F, Joe Biden. That's what he --

STU: Really? I thought you're supposed to say, let's go Brandon.

GLENN: No, well, but he said failing grade.

That's basically an F. It's like if you're filing -- it would be filed under Beck Glenn. This would just be filed under F Joe Biden.

STU: Got it. Definitely my mistake.

GLENN: By the way, if you missed the show. You missed the explanation of what the president was talking about within on -- on -- well, you know, on -- on the one word that describes America. This came out on Friday. I want to play it.

BIDEN: America is a nation that can be defined in a single word. Excuse me. The foothills of the Himalayas with Xi Jinping. Traveling with him, traveled 17,000 miles when I was vice president. I don't know that for a fact.

GLENN: What the hell is that?

STU: Is he ever actually -- like, is there -- I don't know. Ten minutes later, does he get to the word? I've seen this clip. But I have not seen, did he actually get to a word at some point?

GLENN: Nobody actually watched the whole thing. So it's very difficult. Very difficult to get through it.

STU: Okay. That's unfortunate. I will say, probably the best moment of his presidency though.

GLENN: Because of what he revealed? That we revealed on today's podcast. If you missed hour number one, get today's podcast. We introduce you to why he said that.

A gentleman named Niblick. Yeah. He's a Sherpa guide. That I think sometimes the president talks to in his head. So...

STU: This is a real problem for our country. I don't know if anyone realizes it. We can laugh about it all we want. But we are all in danger, in physical danger.

GLENN: Yeah. We really are.

STU: Of giant explosions going off in your town. That is what we're in danger of. Missiles flying over the polar ice caps, and landing on your city. That's what is at stake here.

GLENN: And you know what's crazy? They said, they felt that that could happen. That's why we had to get rid of Donald Trump, we have to get rid of him. Because he could get us into a war. This guy did get us into a war. He's already done that. And now he's talking up nuclear war. And he has no clue, as to what he was talking about. This was not funny on Friday when I saw that. My first reaction was, we're going to be vaporized. We're all going to be vaporized. And then today you laugh because you don't have -- I mean, we are all going to be vaporized, so we might as well go out laughing. But is there anybody that takes this seriously? Anyone. Anyone. Washington. Anybody. Raise a hand. Do I see a hand?

STU: This has to be constant dinner conversation around Washington. You go to any steakhouse in Washington, on Friday, at about 6:30 p.m. and every table is talking about how -- what do we do? Is this guy going to make it? Is he going to talk us into a war?

GLENN: I would like to know the plan. You know they have talked about it. So I would like to know the plan. Please, just share with us. If it ends up with George Soros, in the big -- just as I have foreseen. And he swivels around and he's in the Oval Office. Good. Just tell me. Just let me know. At least we can be prepared. I just don't -- we don't need anymore shocks. We just don't.

STU: I'm not sure how we prepare for that one, exactly. Especially you. Because I will say this to Mr. Soros who seems like a great guy, I never had anything to do with any of the things Glenn said about you. Why are you on the cover of Glenn's book The Great Reset? I don't know. I didn't design it. It was Glenn. All of this was Glenn. I stayed here.

GLENN: Just as I have foreseen. All your friends will abandon you.

STU: I stayed here the entire time, to work on the inside, to prove the truth about the wonderful man George Soros.

GLENN: By the way, we have a special, on Wednesday night. A serious look at the president's mental health. That is Wednesday night. The Wednesday night special.

This Russian nuke warning is HORRIFIC… for an UNEXPECTED reason

Glenn Beck reviews a video of Aleksandr Dugin, known as “Putin’s brain,” warning that nuclear war is inevitable. But this warning from Russia is absolutely terrifying for another reason: it’s NOT REAL …

VOICE: Z10852. Something weird is going on. The World Trade Center is on fire.

VOICE: Seriously the top of the building. We're trying to get information.

VOICE: Top level of one of the --

VOICE: To unfold from New York City.

VOICE: A plane crashed just --

VOICE: My sister is in that believe. I hope she's okay. I have to come to New York.

VOICE: It's pandemonium.

VOICE: It's raining papers.

VOICE: Wait a minute! Stop just a second. Why are we -- why are we -- I've got breaking news. Breaking news, yesterday. New York City just elected as their mayoral candidate for the left. And the Democrats, a -- a Muslim radical, who is also a communist!

So, you know, it only took you 25 years. It only took you 25 years, New York, to go completely insane.

Somebody who is -- well, I mean, if I might quote Michael malice today. I am old enough to remember when New Yorkers endured 9/11 instead of voting for it.

But you've got a -- you've got a communist jihadist apologist now.

Who was -- you know, well, CAIR put $100,000 behind his bid for New York City mayor.

So you have somebody who is endorsed by CAIR. That's really good.

He also was somebody who said, you know, he was -- he was for the shooting of the United Health Care CEO.

Said he was looking forward to driving down magnum Joan avenue. I don't know. Sounds like supporting people in the streets. Maybe it's just me.

Then he also said that he was going to globalize the intifada, which I think that's -- maybe -- maybe that's just me.

I mean, what do I know?

Tim Miller who is a podcaster. Asked him a few weeks ago. Asked him about his pro Palestinian slogan. Globalized the intifada. And he said, for me, ultimately, what I hear in so many, is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights, in standing up for Palistinian human rights. Oh, is that what you hear, Mr. CAIR?

Really? Huh, that's interesting.

Right. So globalize the intifada.

I mean, I mean, sure, that's -- I mean well, let me go on.

Because I don't want to take him out of context.

He then delved into the semantics of the intifada, citing the United States Holocaust memorial museum's use of a word for a translation for uprising, in an Arabic version of an article, a museum published about the Warsaw ghetto.

Oh!

So this is just a comparison, about the -- the armed rebellion against the Nazis!

I don't know if that makes me feel better!

I mean, if we're globalizing that.

We're the Nazis in this scenario.

Because I don't think it's the Palestinians.

I certainly don't think it's anybody who is like, hey.

Global jihad. I don't think it's those guys.

Or the Nazis. Who are the Nazis in that?

And it seems, if that's what you mean, then it's not just a harmless kind of slogan about human rights. It is a call for violence on the streets.

Because I don't know if you know, that's what happened when the Jews had their uprising against the Nazis.

I'm just saying!

But, hey, hey, free Palestine.

Oh, that's not what that means, gang. That is not what that means, but don't worry about it. He's just going to be possibly the new mayor.

And that's great. By the way, the Columbia faculty members signed a letter defending Hamas.

They were also among the donors to his mayoral campaign.

So, you know, you don't have anything to worry about.

And his father, who used to work at Columbia. Do you know, Stu?

Is his Dad -- is he still a professor at Columbia University?

He said that -- this violent terror thing of Islam, is not a part of Islam. Now, I've read the Koran, and much of the hadith.

And I'm pretty sure the violence is a part of that. But no.

No. This is something entirely new.

And his father while at Columbia university, wanted everybody to know, that this is actually -- this is something that came out of America!

America is really responsible for this.

And, you know, it really started with the Reagan administration, you know, when he started -- when he started with his very religious terms, to finish the war against the evil empire.

So, you know, that's where -- that's where 9/11 came from.

Is what -- don't worry about it! Don't worry about it!

Because who am I? I'm clearly just -- am I an anti-Semite today, or am I an Islamophobic? I can't remember which one.

Oh, it's probably both. Anyway, Islamophobia. Let me just explain Islamophobia. I haven't even gotten to the Communist part of it. Which is really, really -- New York, you're in one for hell of a ride. Buckle up.

It will be a fun rollercoaster for you. My gosh, I've never been happier that I've been away are if New York.

Anyway, I just want I to know, there is Islam. And then there is Islamists. Now, an Islamist is somebody who really wants Sharia law.

That's political Islam!

That's not a faith. That's political Islam.

Now, let me make really -- something really clear. Criticizing Islamism, is not Islamophobia. Pointing out the dangers of, oh. I don't know.

Political Islam. The ideology that seeks to use the tools of democracy, ultimately to destroy democracy, is not an attack on Muslims.

No. Uh-uh.

You know why?

Because Muslims are often the first people in line.

The first victims of the ideology.

So let's draw a bright, bright line between Islam as a faith, millions of people can practice that faithfully and peacefully.

It's mostly peaceful, okay?

Then there's the Islamism.

Islamism is something entirely -- that's a political project.

A theocratic political -- oh. Left loves theocracies. They love it.

Of course, you never see a problem with it.

See it when an Islamist is touting it. Anyway, it's not about prayer. It's not about fasting. It's not about spiritual life.

It's all about power. It's about merging of mosque and state. It's about implementing Sharia, not as a personal code of conduct. But as a governing legal system.

And it's -- it's supremacy.

Absolutely. Faith.

Religion.

It's -- there's one thing that's supreme.

It's misogynistic.

Deeply intolerant of all kinds of things.

Descent. Secularism. Other faiths. Even competing interpretations from inside the faith itself.

It will behead them too.

So let's -- let's be honest here for a second.

You know, CAIR should be labeled an international terror organization.

In my opinion. In my opinion.

Oh, does that make me -- that makes me an Islamophobe. I'm sure. I'm sure they will start a campaign against me on being an Islamophobe.

Stand in line, guys. You've been doing it since 2001, okay?

I don't really care. And I don't think the American people. I think that record, all the grooves are worn-out on that one, okay?

This is not a religion we're talking about. When we're talking about Sharia law. And we're talking about globalize the intifada. What does that mean, actually, to globalize it?

Does that mean we now want to do what is happening to Israel? All over the world?

Has the Palestinian plight become our plight you now, as Americans?

That there has to be an intifada here!

Because it's the kind of the same. You know. It's kind of the same over, you know, with what the Palestinians are going through.

Well, it's very much like what the Jews went through with the Nazis.

That's a weird one. That one makes my head hurt. It's very much the same as that. And very much the same as the fight against Donald Trump.

Oh, this is going to be fun. It's fun!

Really fun. You know, the irony here is, the ones that will scream Islamophobia the most, are the ones in the progressive left, the champions of feminism, LGBTQ rights. And secularism.

They're going to -- no. You want -- they're going to stand with the people, who want to kill them first.

See, this is how smart they are!

This is why it's going to work out well, in New York City.

Let me just say. If you have an ounce of common sense, you run a business, you have an ounce of wealth. And I don't mean wealth like, you know, hey, Lovey.

Let's get on the boat for a three-hour tour with a suitcase full of cash. I mean you saved anything, anything, get the hell out of New York City.

I mean, this is about survival. This is about free speech. This is about women's rights.
Religious pluralism. Secular legal systems. Liberal democracy.

But it's also about failed principles of Communism. Okay?

First, you have to call out political Islam for what it is. Okay?

And we have to do it with the clarity that we call out white nationalism.

Got to do it with that. Got to -- you know, the Klan. Really bad people.

Really bad people.

Anybody who is shouting for globalized intifada?

Pretty bad. Pretty bad people.

Okay?

Now, let's get to communism.

Because that's another cool, cool angle of the new Democratic candidate for -- for mayor of New York City.

That I just -- I think is cuddly and cute. Sure, it led to 100 million deaths. But this time, New York is going to be radically different. Oh, did I use the word radical?

I didn't mean to use that. What's radical about this guy?

Nothing. He's just like you!

Well, not exactly.

But let's talk about communism, next!

Now, the new mayoral candidate that's running there in New York City. That so many young people rushed to defend and vote for. He's promising free buses.

That's going to work out.

Where are you going to get the money for free buses.

It's free!

City-run grocery stores.

Oh, rent freezes. And finally somebody has done it. A 30-dollar minimum wage.

So under the banner of equity. And, you know, we will tax the wealthy. And the corporations. You know, we're going to squeeze another $10 billion out of them.

Really?

Because they're going to call a U-Haul.

You know, they will call something like U-Haul. There will be a lot of -- there will be a lot of movers that are like, how do I get the truck back from Texas or Florida back up to New York? Nobody is moving up there.

But he's going to do it.

Now, his vision isn't really new. You know, just -- just tax people, so we could have city-run grocery stores. You know, I remember -- I'm old enough to remember those city-run grocery stores in Moscow.

They were great.

The shelves were empty.

But that's just Moscow.

It worked out completely different in Venezuela.

Where, oh, no.

It didn't. That's right. The grocery store.

They were eating the zoo animals.

But it will be different in New York.

Because they have rent controls too.

And that will just choke the housing supply, but don't worry. As a young family.

You know, you voted for it.

You know better.

It will work this time.

So, you know, I like building ideas, I just don't like usually building on the graves of 100 million people.

But, you know, why not? Why not?

You know, use this dogma.

And this time, it will be different. It's not like it was in China. Where the great leap forward, was a gross -- a gross parody of progress. Venezuela, which was oil rich. One of the richest nations in the hemisphere now sees 90 percent of its population in poverty!

Yeah. Darn it. You know what they did?

They decided to take state control of things.

You know, like grocery stores. And it worked out well. How is that free busing working out in Venezuela?

I just want to -- I just want to know.

Anyway, then you've got the globalize the intifada. Which is going to drop a little violence in, and anti-Semitism in with your communism.

Which is weird!

Because violence and anti-Semitism, always happen. When it -- when it comes to -- when it comes to communism.

This is weird!

I've got to play something for you. Because this has talked about on me earlier this morning.

Oh, wow.

Wait a minute. This is -- this is the whole coalition coming together here.

So this is going to be good. New York, this is going to be great.

It's going to be great for you.

No. He's going to uplift you. Then the social fabric of New York City is just going to be -- just one.

It's going to be fantastic. Don't worry about your 120 billion dollars in debt. Or your 10 billion-dollar deficit that you have right now.

You are going to charge the rich more taxes, and they will stay right there.

They will be like, you know what, that 46 percent in taxes that I'm paying, this is just not enough. It's just not enough.

I need to pay 60 or 70 percent to be able to pay my fair share. So that's good. That's good. That's good.

You know, they're not risking 100 million people. It's just 8 million people.

This time, it's just 8 million people.

But, hey. For those of you in upstate New York. That aren't going to be part of this experiment.

Don't worry, you get to pay for it. Because they'll kick it up to the state. The state will have to subsidize everything. And don't you love it?

Really, don't you want to subsidize the really crazy ideas of New York City?

I mean, why don't you have a -- why don't you have a democratic socialist. A/k/a communist mayor.

Why haven't you done that? Are you not progressive enough? Are you not looking into the future?

Are you stuck in the past?

I don't know. I don't know. The graveyard is pretty big. I have a hard time getting past that one. You know, yeah, so I'm stuck in the past. Because I can't seem to pass that graveyard, and get to be down the path with you. But it's going to be a paradise.

Forget arithmetic. You know, or human nature. This time, it's going to work. It's going to work. So all right!

Wish I lived in this morning.

No wait. Nope. I don't. Nope, I don't.

And Ted Cruz, stop it. Stop writing, hey, come to Texas. No. No. Don't come to Texas. Don't come to Florida. Go to California. It's beautiful this time of year. Go there. Go there.
