Transcript

00:00:00.000 When is the last time you checked the legal title to your home?
00:00:02.960 Because most victims of home title theft don't even know they're a victim until it's much too late.
00:00:07.880 One homeowner, I can't even imagine going through this.
00:00:10.360 She's getting home ready for a home remodel and everything got shut down.
00:00:14.320 She discovered her property wasn't in her name anymore.
00:00:17.400 It turns out she was the victim of home title theft.
00:00:20.620 And you think already going through repairs of your home are a nightmare enough.
00:00:25.020 Imagine having to deal with this on top of it.
00:00:27.640 A criminal had forged the deed to her home and taken it over.
00:00:31.220 And now she's having to fight for her home or to get her own home back.
00:00:35.660 Your home, your property, your equity are your most valuable financial assets.
00:00:39.860 And home title lock helps you protect them every single day.
00:00:43.360 Home title lock puts a shield around your home's title.
00:00:46.300 The instant they detect anything, any big tampering, they can just shut it down.
00:00:50.900 And you just need to make sure that you aren't already a victim of this.

00:01:10.700 We have no room to compromise.
00:01:15.080 We got to stand together, it's the course of life.
00:01:20.920 Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:01:26.420 We got no room to compromise.
00:01:28.860 We got to stand together, it's the course of life.
00:01:34.900 Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:01:37.280 Stand up, stand up, hold the line.
00:01:42.240 It's a new day, I'm trying to rise.
00:01:48.200 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:53.720 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:01.060 Stu, imagine with me here for just a second.
00:02:03.560 If we had the Maui forest fires, we had global warming.
00:02:10.220 Oh, no.
00:02:10.580 We have a press that just won't stop asking this president about inflation, which is gone,
00:02:21.960 of course, you know.
00:02:23.220 And then we got COVID, another deadly strain of COVID.
00:02:28.680 Oh, no.
00:02:29.020 Can you imagine if we had all of those together?
00:02:31.380 I have terrible news for you, Glenn.
00:02:33.280 What?
00:02:33.620 Almost all of those things have come true.
00:02:36.540 We are screwed.
00:02:38.420 Wow.
00:02:39.000 Is there a solution?
00:02:40.780 Yeah, vote for Democrats.
00:02:42.120 Oh, okay.
00:02:43.340 That one keeps coming up, doesn't it?
00:02:45.720 It's almost everything.
00:02:46.440 If you love your dog half as much as I love mine, consider him a part of the family.
00:02:51.020 It's pretty normal.
00:02:52.080 Really, dogs have been our best friends for thousands of years.
00:02:55.500 So it's only natural that you'd want to promote his health and his well-being in every way you could.
00:03:00.840 Your best friend gets to lead a long and happy life.
00:03:04.900 I've been telling you a while about Rough Greens and how it changed Uno's life.
00:03:09.260 In fact, it's given him the best years of his life.
00:03:12.300 I firmly believe that.
00:03:13.740 Rough Greens is not a dog food.
00:03:16.120 It's a supplement developed by naturopathic doctor Dennis Black.
00:03:19.200 You sprinkle on the dog's food.
00:03:21.440 Remember, brown food is dead food.
00:03:23.560 You want the greens.
00:03:24.920 You name it.
00:03:25.560 If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in.
00:03:27.460 Rough Greens.
00:03:27.980 Get your first bag free.
00:03:29.580 All you have to do is call 833-GLEN33.
00:03:32.940 That's 833-GLEN33.
00:03:35.540 Pay for shipping.
00:03:36.500 Get the first bag free and see what it'll do to your dog.
00:03:39.020 It's 833-GLEN33, roughgreens.com, slash Beck.
00:03:45.160 Oh, my gosh.
00:03:46.240 I am so nervous about this new COVID vaccine, this new COVID-19.
00:03:51.480 Do we have a vaccine yet?
00:03:53.520 I don't think so, Glenn.
00:03:54.560 It's on the way.
00:03:55.960 It's on the way.
00:03:56.920 To save the day.
00:03:58.000 Wow.
00:03:59.140 Now, it's coming, and it's coming fast and furious.
00:04:03.520 In fact, it was being produced before they announced this new version of COVID-19, which
00:04:13.580 is weird, but they've got it, and if you just go get, I think this is the ninth booster
00:04:20.540 now, isn't it?
00:04:22.360 You're going to be able to, you're going to be able to, now, this one has a scary name.
00:04:27.160 Okay?
00:04:27.640 This is really scary.
00:04:29.820 This is not COVID anymore.
00:04:31.620 It's not.
00:04:32.040 No.
00:04:32.340 This one is Eris.
00:04:35.280 Eris.
00:04:36.060 E-R-I-S.
00:04:37.380 Eris.
00:04:38.000 Is that another?
00:04:39.260 Hmm?
00:04:39.660 Why is it Eris?
00:04:41.540 Well, it's named after the god of strife and discord.
00:04:55.600 It's a goddess.
00:04:57.520 Strife and discord.
00:04:58.800 I'm glad you got the gender right.
00:05:00.040 I didn't want you to misgender.
00:05:01.220 I hate doing that to gods.
00:05:03.220 I hate doing that to gods.
00:05:04.600 Yeah.
00:05:05.060 But I was, so I was looking into it today, and I thought, you know, somebody named it Eris.
00:05:10.780 Why Eris?
00:05:12.080 Why do we name this one Eris?
00:05:14.080 Is the E after the O in the Greek alphabet?
00:05:19.820 Do we know?
00:05:20.200 No.
00:05:20.680 No, it's not.
00:05:21.280 My understanding is no.
00:05:22.820 Sure.
00:05:23.060 Okay.
00:05:23.600 All right.
00:05:24.300 Because I think they just go like COVID and then Omicron.
00:05:28.540 Omicron.
00:05:29.020 Omicron.
00:05:29.600 Omicron.
00:05:30.420 It's been, so how long it's been since we've talked about this.
00:05:33.300 Yeah.
00:05:33.660 You're onto like transformer names.
00:05:35.520 I know.
00:05:35.720 Like the Autobots and the Omicrons.
00:05:37.960 Well, they are.
00:05:38.740 They are.
00:05:39.220 They are transformers.
00:05:40.480 And this one is transformed into something very, very, very, very deadly.
00:05:43.720 Now, I started looking into the name of this Greek goddess, the one that causes strife, which
00:05:54.720 in Greek mythology, strife is wholesome for men.
00:06:01.060 She stirs the selfish, the shiftless to toil.
00:06:07.640 Okay.
00:06:08.200 So, in other words, strife is good because it causes you to work.
00:06:15.440 Okay.
00:06:15.980 Causes you to, you know, do.
00:06:17.840 Okay.
00:06:18.240 Well, all right.
00:06:19.040 Maybe.
00:06:19.520 I guess.
00:06:20.440 Why?
00:06:20.840 Hmm.
00:06:21.920 And then the discord she sews.
00:06:26.100 She is, she's great.
00:06:29.160 She has her feet on the ground and her head in the heavens.
00:06:33.840 So, she knows what's best when she sews discord.
00:06:39.140 Okay.
00:06:39.740 Now, this is also a goddess came from the 1950s, a couple of Americans who started the discordian
00:06:47.940 religion.
00:06:50.460 And this is from their, I guess, their religious book.
00:06:54.200 One day, Malto asked Eris if she really created all those terrible things.
00:06:58.500 She told him that she always had liked the old Greeks, but they can't be trusted with historic
00:07:05.240 matters.
00:07:05.900 Oh, suffice to say that Eris is not hateful or malicious, but she is mischievous.
00:07:14.780 She does get quote, a little bitchy at times.
00:07:17.620 The story of Eris being snubbed and indirectly starting the Trojan War is recorded in blah, blah, blah, referred
00:07:25.020 to as the original snub.
00:07:27.360 She's the goddess of disorder and being.
00:07:32.680 Discordian Eris is looked upon as the foil to the preoccupation of Western philosophy in
00:07:39.680 attempting to find order in the chaos of reality.
00:07:43.820 She also is the bringer of chaos.
00:07:51.360 Let's see.
00:07:52.640 Discordian Eris teaches us that only truth is chaos and that order and disorder are simply
00:08:01.500 temporary filters applied to the lenses we view the chaos through.
00:08:06.120 So, the god of discord, a.k.a.
00:08:12.880 chaos.
00:08:14.860 Huh.
00:08:16.120 Sorry.
00:08:16.940 God-ass.
00:08:18.020 Her pronouns are her, she, me, it, god.
00:08:26.440 Anyway.
00:08:27.100 That's fascinating.
00:08:27.900 I have to say, I saw the story on the new COVID variant and did not even consider clicking
00:08:33.260 on it.
00:08:34.080 So, I see, this is why we're a good team.
00:08:35.660 You did the investigation on this one.
00:08:37.680 I did not.
00:08:38.400 I just find it interesting.
00:08:39.600 I'm going to do more investigation on this.
00:08:41.640 I want to read some more on this.
00:08:43.300 But I find it, I just find it fascinating because these names just don't come out.
00:08:47.480 They're not spit out by a computer.
00:08:49.160 Right.
00:08:49.500 Now, when they were doing the Greek alphabet, okay, they're just labeling it by, they're
00:08:54.020 going in order, right?
00:08:54.880 Yeah.
00:08:55.020 That's what it seemed like.
00:08:55.900 And now, all of a sudden, they've just, I don't remember a story.
00:08:59.020 I can't, maybe I just didn't click on it.
00:09:00.660 But I don't remember a story about, hey, we're changing this to god names.
00:09:04.960 We're just, we're going to switch this up.
00:09:07.000 Mythology.
00:09:07.560 We're going into that now.
00:09:09.200 Omicron or Krom or whatever it was.
00:09:11.440 Yeah, it was, yeah, it was in the Greek alphabet, right?
00:09:13.800 Yeah, it was, it's like, I don't know, one, I don't know, mid, midway through or so.
00:09:18.100 Okay, but is it a Greek god or goddess?
00:09:20.680 What is Omicron?
00:09:21.460 Yeah.
00:09:22.320 Where did it come from?
00:09:23.240 Yeah.
00:09:24.800 I mean, I don't know.
00:09:25.740 It was just in the, I'll say, Omicron.
00:09:28.140 I don't know.
00:09:28.680 I don't remember.
00:09:29.380 Again, I don't remember naming the diseases after Greek gods.
00:09:34.060 No, they were, they were definitely going.
00:09:35.940 I mean, a hundred percent, I'm sure they were going through the Greek alphabet.
00:09:38.880 I mean, we remember alpha, beta, gamma, delta.
00:09:42.680 Remember the delta variant?
00:09:43.780 Yeah, and that's, that's not a god.
00:09:44.900 That's just, that's, these are letters.
00:09:46.820 Yeah, that's what it was.
00:09:47.780 Epsilon would be E.
00:09:48.780 Now, I don't remember them getting past the end.
00:09:51.980 I mean, after, you know, you've got, I don't remember the omega variant.
00:09:55.040 Do we have an omega variant?
00:09:56.140 Did they get to the end?
00:09:56.980 No.
00:09:57.080 Maybe I just wasn't, again, it's possible I wasn't paying close enough attention to this.
00:10:00.200 Maybe they had all these variants and I missed it.
00:10:01.760 But my understanding was the process was they only used a Greek alphabet letter when it became a variant of concern, which was some level of like, okay, this is going to blow up.
00:10:13.420 I remember when the Omicron thing started and it was in South Africa and it was like, hey, this one looks like it's going to make some noise.
00:10:20.580 And it went through that process and all of a sudden it was like, okay, this one's going to be everywhere.
00:10:24.240 And then it was.
00:10:24.880 And they used Omicron, but I don't remember another, since then, I don't remember another alphabet letter coming out as being a big variant of concern.
00:10:34.400 I don't remember any of that.
00:10:35.560 I don't either.
00:10:36.400 Maybe it happened.
00:10:37.480 Maybe it happened.
00:10:38.320 Maybe, you know, maybe we got to Zeus and we're like, okay, what are we going to do now?
00:10:43.080 Got to start all over.
00:10:44.520 I don't know.
00:10:45.700 Maybe.
00:10:46.180 I don't know.
00:10:46.780 I don't know.
00:10:47.260 But I like, are you, maybe I'm in the minority here, but are you completely past reading news stories about COVID?
00:10:54.940 Like, I'm totally past it.
00:10:56.160 Oh, I'm only reading them because of their evil nature.
00:10:59.320 Like, you're just talking about, I know you're interested in why is this named this.
00:11:02.900 Yeah, I'm just, I mean, they always leave breadcrumbs.
00:11:05.980 They always leave breadcrumbs.
00:11:07.660 So when I saw Eris, I thought, what is, what is Eris?
00:11:10.920 Looked it up.
00:11:11.500 Oh, Greek God of discourse, chaos, and what was the other one?
00:11:18.780 Strife.
00:11:19.560 Oh, okay.
00:11:21.040 Oh, well, I like that.
00:11:22.580 I mean, I'm a good 18 months at least past caring about COVID in any way.
00:11:29.220 Other than the fact that, like, I'm interested, like, hey, our response to it seemed like a little bit of a problem.
00:11:35.520 Maybe we should make sure we don't do that again.
00:11:37.860 That is the extent of my interest in COVID.
00:11:40.260 Like, that is it.
00:11:41.720 I don't have, I don't care about any of the other stuff.
00:11:45.560 Like, at some point, we'll all be wiped out, I'm sure, and we'll all die in a fiery COVID, you know, crash of some sort.
00:11:53.280 But I just, I'm well beyond, like, I saw there was a story today that there is a small college somewhere that's-
00:12:01.600 In Atlanta.
00:12:01.960 In Atlanta that's re-implementing the masks.
00:12:05.120 And it's like, can you imagine being on that staff?
00:12:07.380 Like, what are you talking about we're putting masks on?
00:12:10.960 Now, maybe the college is so crazy that this is par for the course for them.
00:12:15.320 But, like, you just think, wait, what year are we in?
00:12:18.760 Did we get a flux capacitor?
00:12:20.220 What's going on here?
00:12:22.120 Like, I-
00:12:22.900 Even the flux capacitor seems outdated like the masks.
00:12:27.500 Yes, it does.
00:12:28.800 Like, we're-
00:12:29.680 We're going back to 1988?
00:12:31.520 Yeah, I just, no, we're all, we've, we, that was a thing, and it was, and now it's not a thing anymore.
00:12:38.020 Yeah.
00:12:38.180 And, like, look, individuals are going to have to deal with this in the way that they do.
00:12:43.580 If you're a person who has risk and you see a new variant, like, maybe you should stay away from people for a little bit.
00:12:48.640 But, like, that's on you.
00:12:50.200 This is how it should have been from the beginning.
00:12:52.060 It's on you.
00:12:53.340 Does anybody really actually think, I mean, is there anyone with the sound of my voice that's like, oh, I've got to get a mask?
00:13:01.340 I can't imagine.
00:13:02.260 I mean, I would think, if I were, like, let's say you had an immune, a real serious immune problem.
00:13:08.540 If I'm really-
00:13:09.400 If you're seeing this pop up again, you might think to yourself, you know what, I'm not going to that concert.
00:13:13.660 You know, I'm going to stay, I'm going to stay away.
00:13:15.440 I'm going to, I'm not going to that indoor meeting where everyone's going to be talking that I was thinking about.
00:13:20.680 I might consider that if I was really vulnerable.
00:13:22.760 I only have, like, one eleventh of a lung left from lung cancer.
00:13:27.220 Then I'm like, I'm not going.
00:13:30.100 That's the type of level I'm talking about.
00:13:31.620 Like, if you are really vulnerable and, like, I get COVID and I could absolutely die from it.
00:13:35.800 And look, people, look, this is something that is real.
00:13:38.860 People are still dying from the complications of this.
00:13:41.540 It does happen.
00:13:42.920 It's just, it's not a societal interest and individual interest are two different things.
00:13:48.000 And when you talk about societal interest, you're talking about some large policy that covers millions and millions of people.
00:13:54.460 That's different than a decision you make for yourself.
00:13:57.600 So, Stu, we do know that hospitalizations are up 60%.
00:14:02.760 Yeah, from what?
00:14:04.000 Hmm?
00:14:04.160 60% from the lowest we've ever had.
00:14:07.060 I don't know, just 60%.
00:14:08.180 Right.
00:14:08.700 Like, that's, should I bring in the relative versus absolute risk police squad here to say,
00:14:16.200 every time you hear a number like that, ask yourself, is this relative or absolute risk?
00:14:21.760 It's an incredibly important question.
00:14:23.760 And when it's relative risk, most of the time it means nothing.
00:14:27.540 Hey, it went from 0.1 to 0.3.
00:14:30.600 That's a, that's tripled.
00:14:32.820 What, what, tripled means what in this scenario?
00:14:36.040 A very small risk has gotten slightly larger.
00:14:39.100 That means nothing to most people.
00:14:40.580 And what is the other one?
00:14:42.200 Absolute risk.
00:14:43.120 Okay.
00:14:43.300 If you have a 30% chance of dying, that's a real important thing to know.
00:14:48.700 If you have a 30% increase, an increase of what?
00:14:52.320 That's a relative risk question.
00:14:54.220 And when you have a relative risk question, it's a, it's usually, it's a scare tactic
00:14:59.080 by the media to look at some, you know, slight increase under a small subpopulation to terrify
00:15:06.660 you on the news.
00:15:07.400 All I know is the federal government has started purchasing COVID-19 equipment and hiring advisors
00:15:12.700 on safety protocols.
00:15:14.920 This is already happening.
00:15:16.780 Department of Defense, millions of taxpayer funds being used to purchase COVID-19 equipment,
00:15:21.960 such as test kits, some of the contracts, which are traceable via the federal government
00:15:27.320 spending database scheduled to begin next month or October.
00:15:34.160 And, uh, we're just spending money hand over fist because we know we're going to need this
00:15:40.880 to fight the flu.
00:15:42.780 Now, this is what this is.
00:15:44.920 They say, oh, it's, it's much more aggressive.
00:15:47.140 It's much more aggressive.
00:15:48.340 It spreads so much easier.
00:15:50.000 Of course it does.
00:15:51.600 That's what happens over time.
00:15:54.300 It becomes less deadly and more virile.
00:15:58.420 That's what happens.
00:16:00.020 That's why we have the flu.
00:16:02.520 The flu we have today, the one they changed for every year is just like, is this is a variant
00:16:09.620 of the Spanish flu.
00:16:11.380 We don't all freak out every year.
00:16:13.520 Right.
00:16:14.480 And that's, I look, I think that's where most people are.
00:16:18.020 I think that the media is going to make their big deal of this.
00:16:20.600 Some people will lose their mind, I'm sure.
00:16:23.620 But the bottom line is like COVID was a totally different scenario when none of us had any
00:16:28.100 immunity to it.
00:16:29.620 Every person in the country has some level of immunity to it basically at this point.
00:16:34.320 Right.
00:16:34.920 So once you get to that point, your body has an ability to fight back.
00:16:39.020 It doesn't mean it always wins, but it didn't always win against the flu either.
00:16:42.380 It turns into something that we can actually deal with.
00:16:45.980 Well, take it from a grandma killer, I guess, or you can listen to the guy who's been on
00:16:54.820 the Maui situation from day one.
00:16:58.540 Coming up.
00:16:59.980 American financing.
00:17:00.980 NMLS.

00:17:19.420 but is also vital to be prepared for if and when times get tough.
00:17:25.600 This is why I would like to recommend American financing.
00:17:28.820 Family owned mortgage company that's in it for you.
00:17:31.180 And they're not looking to help out the banks.
00:17:33.520 They're saving people just like you an average of $700 a month.
00:17:36.880 If you get a mortgage refi, for instance, they could consolidate your high interest debt.
00:17:41.660 Things like credit card debt.
00:17:43.340 We transfer that.
00:17:44.060 You can transfer that into something called a low interest loan.
00:17:49.300 Could end up being able to delay up to two mortgage payments and close in as little as 10 days.
00:17:54.420 So call them right now.
00:17:55.560 They're waiting for your call at 800-906-2440.
00:17:59.280 800-906-2440.
00:18:02.060 It's AmericanFinancing.net.
00:18:04.620 10 seconds.
00:18:05.200 Station ID.
00:18:05.640 Well, here we are.
00:18:17.000 Here we are on the eve of the first debate.
00:18:21.880 Wow.
00:18:23.300 I'm all a tingle.
00:18:24.440 Can you feel it?
00:18:25.080 I can feel.
00:18:25.840 Can you feel?
00:18:26.580 I can feel the love in the air tonight.
00:18:28.960 Can you feel the bergamentum?
00:18:31.600 Are you kidding me?
00:18:32.740 Yes.
00:18:33.420 Yeah.
00:18:33.680 Bergamania is in full effect and it starts tomorrow night.
00:18:37.400 Wow.
00:18:38.180 It's going to be good.
00:18:39.360 Doug Bergam in.
00:18:41.580 Asa Hutchinson in.
00:18:43.660 Yes.
00:18:44.620 Yes.
00:18:44.960 I will say our worst fears.
00:18:46.600 We discussed them yesterday.
00:18:47.460 I know you were out yesterday.
00:18:48.740 We discussed the worst fears here where there were a lot of fringe candidates that might get on this stage.
00:18:54.840 You could have seen 12 on the stage.
00:18:57.640 And the worst fears of that did not happen.
00:19:00.040 And I would have still liked to have seen Larry Elder make it because.
00:19:04.100 He did at least shake things up.
00:19:05.460 And he'd be tough.
00:19:07.040 Bergamania is not going to do anything.
00:19:08.700 No.
00:19:08.940 And Asa Hutchinson, you know.
00:19:10.120 Is it?
00:19:10.660 Please.
00:19:11.260 I do feel like.
00:19:12.020 It's like having the turtle up there.
00:19:14.420 Wow.
00:19:15.960 Yeah.
00:19:16.440 That's going to be.
00:19:17.320 It's not going to be interesting.
00:19:18.380 But I will say eight feels to me.
00:19:20.540 Correct me if you disagree, Glenn.
00:19:22.280 But like eight feels to me the max number where you might get something out of this.
00:19:27.120 Yes.
00:19:27.300 I'd like four or five.
00:19:29.120 Yeah.
00:19:29.320 I think six was the right number for.
00:19:31.920 Actually, seven, I believe, is the right number for this one because Trump.
00:19:34.660 I would like Trump to be there.
00:19:35.700 But considering Trump is not going to be there.
00:19:37.680 Six was probably the right number.
00:19:39.320 You have to include Pence.
00:19:41.860 You got to include, you know, Christie.
00:19:44.860 Because Christie, you know, look, is polling well in New Hampshire.
00:19:47.380 He even though he has no chance of winning this nomination, he's doing well enough that
00:19:50.980 he should be included on the debate stage.
00:19:52.980 Of course.
00:19:54.060 Tim Scott, Nikki Haley.
00:19:55.520 Yes.
00:19:55.780 Yes.
00:19:56.040 I think you've got who else?
00:19:59.220 DeSantis and Ramaswamy is in there.
00:20:03.240 That's the six, I think, would be the legit six here.
00:20:07.160 If you're talking about people.
00:20:08.580 I think there's legit three.
00:20:10.940 Trump, DeSantis, Ramaswamy.
00:20:13.420 I think that's I mean, Scott has to be on there.
00:20:15.800 Yeah, I guess.
00:20:16.480 Scott has a legitimate path here.
00:20:18.760 Again, it's not an easy path.
00:20:20.440 But if you're talking about someone forget Trump because he's so far ahead and everyone's
00:20:24.380 like, OK, well, he's so far ahead.
00:20:25.900 How are you going to beat him?
00:20:26.980 And there's real questions of if he's beatable.
00:20:29.060 I mean, I don't think he is.
00:20:30.760 I mean, maybe.
00:20:31.860 But I just don't think he is.
00:20:33.400 Nobody is making a dent in him.
00:20:35.700 And he's playing it really, really smart.
00:20:37.880 If I were him, I I would be home with my feet up tomorrow.
00:20:41.160 Yeah.
00:20:42.140 You know, I go back and forth on this.
00:20:43.480 I think selfishly I would be like, screw this.
00:20:45.780 What's the point?
00:20:46.380 What am I going to get out of this?
00:20:47.300 If you're doing it strategically, he's making exactly the right move.
00:20:51.020 Yeah.
00:20:51.500 Secondly, I think you think I don't know, like for the country, for conservatism.
00:20:56.160 I think it's important that his views are represented.
00:20:59.220 And so I would like to see him there for that reason.
00:21:01.600 But and there is some strategic risk here, right?
00:21:05.560 Like what if throw this out here?
00:21:08.040 What if everyone's watching?
00:21:10.160 You watch a debate with Donald Trump and he can derail it however he wants, right?
00:21:15.860 Someone's having a good moment.
00:21:17.000 He can cut them off, make fun of them and totally derail their moment.
00:21:20.920 This is a moment where we're going to have tens of millions of people who go to these
00:21:24.660 people like Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy.
00:21:27.780 Many people have never seen them in this situation.
00:21:30.940 And there's no interruption there.
00:21:33.040 Like there, let's just say someone has an incredible debate.
00:21:37.380 You could see people who don't see Donald Trump there making a decision like, you know
00:21:43.100 what?
00:21:43.340 I like Trump, but like, man, that Vivek Ramaswamy is fantastic.
00:21:46.200 Or Ron DeSantis is great.
00:21:47.300 Or Tim Scott's awesome.
00:21:48.700 And maybe he could move the polls.
00:21:50.740 I think the risk is low for him because his lead is so large.
00:21:53.820 But it's not without risk to not show up.
00:21:55.980 Yeah.
00:21:56.540 I would like to just throw a monkey wrench into your hypothesis.
00:22:00.240 Yes.
00:22:00.380 Thank you.
00:22:00.780 With the first sentence that you gave me in that hypothesis.
00:22:04.200 Which was...
00:22:04.880 You know, a lot of people are going to be watching.
00:22:07.640 I don't know.
00:22:09.540 Without Trump, it's not a spectacle.
00:22:12.940 It's the first one though, right?
00:22:14.880 It's the first one.
00:22:16.240 I don't know.
00:22:16.900 I mean, look.
00:22:18.740 Trump would certainly bring more eyeballs to it.
00:22:20.920 We know that.
00:22:21.560 Yes.
00:22:21.700 But, you know, it's the first one.
00:22:24.620 It's kicking off the season.
00:22:25.880 A lot of people haven't paid attention at all until this moment.
00:22:29.580 So, this is their first impression.
00:22:31.660 And Donald Trump won't be able to be there to kind of nudge people where he wants them
00:22:35.800 to be nudged, right?
00:22:37.220 Into the gutter.
00:22:38.060 Into the gutter.
00:22:40.600 More in a minute.
00:22:41.360 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:22:47.820 By the way, don't forget, we are here tomorrow night.
00:22:51.240 We're covering all of it on Ablaze TV.
00:22:53.500 You don't want to miss a second of our coverage.
00:22:56.320 I have a series of qualities I look for in a person if I'm going to do business with them.
00:23:00.000 I'm sure you do too.
00:23:00.720 I look for honesty, a willingness to work hard, to try to get the job done right.
00:23:06.020 Somebody who is relentless.
00:23:08.060 Somebody who might fail from time to time, but will recognize it quickly and learn from
00:23:13.480 that mistake.
00:23:14.760 I look for competence and knowledge and capability.
00:23:17.600 That's why when I started the business, Real Estate Agents I Trust, we looked for those
00:23:23.980 people that we could trust.
00:23:26.360 Somebody that really knew what they were doing and had the game plan, if you will, and the
00:23:34.320 certain things that you just have to do in today's real estate game to be able to have
00:23:39.140 a lot of people flock to your website.
00:23:42.040 So, we found those people and now we'd like to recommend them to you.
00:23:45.580 You do your own homework, just tell us where you're moving from or to, could be across

00:24:15.580 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:24:19.800 Well, I have once again offended the dystopian elites who want to shove you into squalor and
00:24:30.080 force you to eat bugs.
00:24:31.520 This time, the outrage stems from a report by a climate organization called the C40 Cities
00:24:39.080 Climate Leadership Group.
00:24:41.100 Now, as always, I want you to follow the money.
00:24:45.320 Well, the C40, the money trail leads to billionaire Michael Bloomberg.
00:24:53.580 Michael ran for president in 2020.
00:24:57.720 How'd that go?
00:24:58.300 Did he win?
00:24:58.720 Nobody really even knows.
00:25:00.820 I really forgettable.
00:25:03.580 The most forgettable billion dollars ever spent.
00:25:05.940 It really is.
00:25:06.640 Until Ukraine.
00:25:07.340 Yeah.
00:25:07.880 Now, funny enough, Bloomberg makes his money with Bloomberg News, which is the liberal hack
00:25:13.560 news source.
00:25:14.940 The organization includes about 100 cities throughout the world with 14 cities in America who plan
00:25:25.320 to help you give up meat, cars and freedom by the year.
00:25:31.060 Take a guess.
00:25:33.240 2050.
00:25:34.360 No.
00:25:35.280 2030.
00:25:35.960 2030.
00:25:36.320 Okay.
00:25:37.880 So, the cities are Austin, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New
00:25:46.660 York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Seattle.
00:25:53.720 What do all those things have in common besides cities that I would run for my life from?
00:25:59.180 Well, they're the ones that want to ban meat.
00:26:04.640 And as if that isn't enough, the C-40 has an ambitious target.
00:26:08.680 Their words, not mine.
00:26:10.160 Ambitious target to achieve some majorly authoritarian goals.
00:26:15.180 And the goals demand that C-40 cities have zero kilograms of meat consumption by everybody
00:26:24.460 in their town.
00:26:25.520 Zero kilograms of dairy consumption.
00:26:29.520 Three new clothing items per year per person.
00:26:34.140 I love that.
00:26:35.040 Zero private vehicles owned and a populace that only gets one short-haul return flight every
00:26:45.720 three years per person.
00:26:48.080 Now, that is great.
00:26:50.600 Who doesn't want to live in that world?
00:26:53.080 Paradise.
00:26:53.820 Besides me.
00:26:54.520 The report is titled, The Future of Urban Consumption in a 1.5 Celsius World.
00:27:05.120 It was published in 2019, and it has recently made a reemergence.
00:27:11.920 Now, if the media did their job, this would be a pretty massive story, wouldn't you think?
00:27:17.900 Michael Bloomberg funding an organization that wants to take all cars, all meat, reduce people
00:27:26.520 to buying only three pairs of clothing, and one short-haul flight every three years.
00:27:33.700 You'd think that would be a major story, but it's not.
00:27:38.860 Because there's another organization out there funded by the left called AFP Fact Check.
00:27:47.900 Fact Check.
00:27:49.360 Now, it originated from a French newspaper, but its fact checkers are the same people who
00:27:56.440 appear in all of the fact-checking organizations with jobs at all of the mainstream outlets.
00:28:03.340 So, the AFP Fact Check claims that, when I talked about this a while back, they said,
00:28:13.520 quote, a video from Glenn Beck, an American conservative commentator.
00:28:17.900 Claims a proposal, backed by the World Economic Forum, would limit meat and dairy in smart cities
00:28:24.700 by 2030.
00:28:26.240 This is false.
00:28:27.440 The document cited as evidence is an independent climate analysis that makes no specific policy
00:28:34.840 recommendation.
00:28:36.060 Oh.
00:28:36.700 Right.
00:28:37.660 Right.
00:28:37.960 Now, the actual fact checker here is as leftist as you would expect.
00:28:44.600 He's another example of fact-checking as a new kind of digital activism.
00:28:50.700 At this point, if an article or a monologue is fact-checked, that usually means there are
00:28:57.260 some inconvenient facts in it.
00:29:00.500 So, it's no surprise that the fact-checker is the same guy who had to publicly apologize
00:29:08.080 for botching a fact-check with USA Today in 2021.
00:29:12.760 He has connections to Poynter.
00:29:15.420 Ha!
00:29:16.600 Fact-check.
00:29:17.800 The Poynter Institute.
00:29:19.460 Hmm.
00:29:19.660 Which I've talked about before, part of a network of shell companies designed to fact-check
00:29:25.420 the exact companies that they work for, while also slandering any site, any show, any network
00:29:31.680 that challenges the propaganda.
00:29:34.020 A recent article by The Federalist uncovered the truth, which we already knew.
00:29:40.060 The fact-check was written deceptively.
00:29:43.080 Now, I know that comes as something hard to believe, but it's true.
00:29:46.160 The evidence, it quotes from the AFP fact-check, includes a paragraph from the original The
00:29:55.240 Future of Urban Consumption in a 1.5 Degree Celsius World Report.
00:30:01.520 And it reads,
00:30:02.840 This report does not advocate for the wholesale adoption of these more ambitious targets in
00:30:10.840 C-40 cities.
00:30:11.880 Rather, they are included to provide a set of reference points that cities and other actors
00:30:19.100 can reflect on when considering different emission reduction alternatives and long-term
00:30:24.620 urban visions.
00:30:26.260 Now, if you poke around just a little closer, you realize that this paragraph is only included
00:30:33.840 in the report for liability purposes.
00:30:37.080 It performs one of the left's favorite activities, manipulating the meaning of words as a way to
00:30:43.640 avoid any kind of responsibility.
00:30:46.220 Now, we know why they want to avoid any kind of responsibility, because what they're proposing
00:30:53.800 is totalitarianism.
00:30:56.200 And they're legalistic about it.
00:30:58.760 They might just succeed.
00:31:00.260 But that's how authoritarians operate.
00:31:04.480 So, look at what's already happening in London right now.
00:31:08.340 They have ultra-low emission zones.
00:31:11.520 It's a surveillance system that covers all 32 of London's boroughs, encapsulating 5 million
00:31:18.580 people aimed at eradicating 20,000 to 40,000 vehicles.
00:31:23.600 No surprise, the World Economic Forum absolutely loves London's authoritarian new approach.
00:31:31.580 They even published an article in March celebrating the fact that London's new emission zone has
00:31:38.680 reduced pollution levels by more than a quarter.
00:31:42.680 But surely, surely that will never happen here.
00:31:48.240 Right?
00:31:50.720 No.
00:31:51.720 More in a second.
00:31:53.600 The convenience of the modern American life sometimes complicates our efforts to maintain
00:32:00.260 our values.
00:32:01.080 For instance, until not that long ago, if you wanted to have good cell phone coverage,
00:32:05.980 you had to go with the big boys, companies like Verizon.
00:32:08.760 So, you didn't have a lot of choice.
00:32:11.060 Even if you knew they were donating to leftist causes as well.
00:32:15.200 But it's not that way anymore.
00:32:17.280 Patriot Mobile, they share your values.
00:32:19.380 They're not sending your hard-earned money to aid the destruction
00:32:22.480 of America.

00:33:12.100 If you're someone who takes shooting seriously, you know that getting good takes a lot of
00:33:27.940 practice.
00:33:28.700 And a lot of practice used to mean spending a lot of money on ammunition.
00:33:32.640 Till iTarget, of course, came along.
00:33:35.100 Have you ever seen, you know, competitive shooters practice timing drills on the range?
00:33:38.920 It would be really fun to do, but can you imagine how much that would cost to try to
00:33:41.800 get good at?
00:33:43.080 Well, now, it's not going to cost you a lot at all because you can do it at your house
00:33:45.860 whenever you want and never spend a dime on ammo.
00:33:48.400 That's because the iTarget cube exists.
00:33:51.180 It is fully compatible with your existing laser bullets.
00:33:53.940 If you have an iTarget Pro already, if not, you got to get one.
00:33:57.400 And of course, if you do buy one, you can upgrade to the three pack of these cubes for
00:34:01.520 a really cool, unique training experience.
00:34:04.760 You can practice random shooting drills, clearing drills, or use random mode to test your ability
00:34:09.680 to react, all while the system times every shot that you make.
00:34:13.380 You can practice alone or compete with friends.
00:34:15.860 And because it works with your home's Wi-Fi, you can place cubes really anywhere in the
00:34:19.820 house and practice self-defense scenarios safely without the expense and inconvenience of having
00:34:24.940 to go to the shooting range.
00:34:26.360 If you want the benefits of staying in practice and none of the drawbacks, iTarget is for you.

00:34:48.840 Wow.
00:34:49.520 I, um, hmm.
00:34:51.800 Let's, uh, let's go to Hawaii for a second.
00:34:54.680 Here's, uh, here's President Biden talking about the Maui fires.
00:35:00.840 I don't want to compare difficulties, but we have a little sense, Jill and I, what it's
00:35:07.420 like to lose a home.
00:35:09.820 Years ago, now 15 years ago, I was in Washington doing Meet the Press.
00:35:15.200 It was a sunny Sunday, and lightning struck at home on a little lake that's outside of
00:35:23.300 our home, not a lake, a big pond, and hit a wire and came up underneath our home into
00:35:30.760 the heating ducts, the air conditioning duct.
00:35:34.340 Make a long story short, I almost lost my wife, my 67 Corvette, and my cat.
00:35:43.780 Yeah, people think that's really funny right now in Hawaii.
00:35:46.800 I like the stories.
00:35:47.860 They like those, you know, those, like, cool little stories about your cat.
00:35:51.100 It's a really good time for those.
00:35:52.440 And your Corvette.
00:35:53.340 Yeah.
00:35:53.460 Your Corvette over your cat.
00:35:55.300 Mm-hmm.
00:35:55.580 Okay?
00:35:56.000 Yeah.
00:35:56.180 You know, they like to laugh.
00:35:58.060 No, seriously, folks.
00:35:59.280 I did.
00:36:00.040 And, uh, you know, we didn't get a chance for him to finish, but his kitchen was, uh,
00:36:05.760 taken out of the house in a flag-draped coffin.
00:36:08.420 Oh, my gosh.
00:36:09.180 And, uh, he lost his kitchen in Iraq.
00:36:11.580 Uh, good.
00:36:12.100 Like, that is the next story.
00:36:15.340 And he'll start saying that.
00:36:16.160 And everyone will be like, ah, he just, he occasionally has some creative flutters.
00:36:20.620 A flourish or two.
00:36:22.180 Hey, uh, can I bring up something that might be maybe sensitive?
00:36:26.540 I don't know.
00:36:27.000 I don't understand.
00:36:28.200 I'm telling you I don't understand.
00:36:31.160 I get it's part of the culture.
00:36:34.500 I understand that.
00:36:35.960 It's a different culture than when I grew up.
00:36:37.160 I grew up in the East Coast, the Northeast.
00:36:38.820 You're going to make fun of the Lays, aren't you?
00:36:40.380 It just doesn't feel right, does it?
00:36:42.720 Does it feel right that this?
00:36:44.140 No, in this occasion.
00:36:44.160 He is making this, like, this, this cop, a terrible tragedy is happening, and he's wearing
00:36:49.320 flowers around his neck.
00:36:50.560 And I get that it is a, but what I, at least when I think of a lay in Hawaii, you're thinking
00:36:56.300 it's like vacation.
00:36:57.820 It's celebration.
00:36:58.420 No, it's, it's a, it's a welcome.
00:37:00.640 It's a welcome.
00:37:01.480 It's a welcome.
00:37:02.060 And I get that it's a welcome, but I might say in this particular circumstance, it's
00:37:06.840 not necessarily appropriate.
00:37:08.060 Mr. President, you should probably take that off.
00:37:09.160 You're the president of the United States.
00:37:10.360 Take the thing off.
00:37:11.000 Like, if there was a terrible shooting in Wisconsin and the guy put on a cheesehead to make the
00:37:14.840 speech, it would be weird.
00:37:15.860 But I don't think there's a Biden in history that has passed up a lay.
00:37:18.300 Um, so I just, every time he goes to Hawaii, he's got it, you know, right there at the
00:37:29.980 airport.
00:37:30.540 Uh, anyway, um, you know, I'm really, you know, I can't imagine how the people felt, uh, you
00:37:40.440 know, well, I did see some of the reaction.
00:37:43.800 Um, people don't like him very much.
00:37:45.760 Yeah.
00:37:46.040 They don't like him too much.
00:37:46.960 And, you know, I think we're all sick about hearing about how you can relate because of
00:37:51.700 your tragedy or whatever.
00:37:53.920 Can you make it about them?
00:37:55.320 Make it about them.
00:37:56.140 Make it about them.
00:37:56.620 Maybe that's the time.
00:37:57.520 Yeah.
00:37:57.760 Make it about them.
00:37:58.380 Make it about them.
00:37:58.940 You know?
00:37:59.740 Uh, and the fact that you sent now, I just, help me out on this.
00:38:03.300 Um, you get $700 if you lost your family and your home in Maui, you get a one-time payment
00:38:09.880 of $700.
00:38:11.660 Okay.
00:38:12.060 Uh, if you're retired, you get $1,100 every month from social security.
00:38:19.480 You've worked hard your whole life.
00:38:21.120 You've paid into social security.
00:38:22.340 You get $1,100.
00:38:24.160 Okay.
00:38:25.360 If you're a Ukrainian, you've, you've received $1,700, uh, per capita.
00:38:33.280 But if you're an illegal in the United States, you get $2,200 a month.
00:38:39.700 So somebody who lost their home and their family, they get one times 700.
00:38:45.120 But if you're an illegal, you get $2,200 every month.
00:38:49.960 I think that's pretty good.
00:38:51.380 I mean, don't you?
00:38:53.380 It's a, you know, they say a budget is a statement of priorities.
00:38:58.440 And, uh, I don't know.
00:38:59.920 And yes, it is.
00:39:00.820 We have.
00:39:01.480 Yes, it is.
00:39:02.080 I mean, that's true.
00:39:02.680 By the way, he met with the firefighters and, you know, was petting the dog.
00:39:06.880 Don't pet a working dog.
00:39:11.260 Don't pet a working dog.
00:39:14.700 He's like, you know, putting peanut butter on his nose.
00:39:18.420 It's like.
00:39:18.680 It was bizarre.
00:39:19.400 It was bizarre.
00:39:21.080 Bizarre.
00:39:21.580 Oh, so bad.
00:39:22.720 Is it?
00:39:23.260 I mean, this completely has confirmed my initial suspicion.
00:39:28.440 He just doesn't care about this at all.
00:39:31.280 No, he doesn't care.
00:39:31.900 Like, this is totally, he's forced to go there.
00:39:34.960 As I mentioned the other day, like, why isn't he at least, you know, politics 101 would at
00:39:38.860 least be, hey, show some empathy.
00:39:40.920 And, like, obviously somebody's talked to him.
00:39:43.280 Hey, you got to go there.
00:39:44.440 Everyone's wondering what's going on.
00:39:46.160 You look terrible here.
00:39:47.160 You got to do it.
00:39:47.820 He's a bad human being.
00:39:48.640 I think that's honestly true.
00:39:50.640 I think a lot of times, you know, it's weird to say this, but I think a lot of times his
00:39:55.540 obliviousness and his seeming bouts with dementia help him.
00:40:03.200 People give him excuses for his behavior because they're like, oh, he's this old guy and he's
00:40:07.800 kind of incoherent.
00:40:09.300 But, like, he's just a lot of times lying to you.
00:40:12.760 He's doing things that only a terrible person would do.
00:40:15.480 His kitchen wasn't taken out of his house in a flag-draped coffin?
00:40:18.580 I don't.
00:40:19.040 That part, I think, is probably true.
00:40:20.680 I don't know on that particular plan.
00:40:21.800 He almost lost him.
00:40:23.020 And the cat.
00:40:23.700 And the Corvette.
00:40:24.580 Imagine you standing there in the audience.
00:40:27.120 You just lost your family, your house, everything.
00:40:30.600 And he says, you know, I almost lost my Corvette.
00:40:34.640 That would be disgusting to you, wouldn't it?
00:40:37.340 And look, the people there seem to be infuriated with him.
00:40:41.080 And these are people who obviously voted for the guy, right?
00:40:43.560 Like, these are not like conservatives over in Hawaii.
00:40:46.640 There are some, but very few.
00:40:49.000 And they do not seem happy.
00:40:51.020 You know, the state response was terrible.
00:40:55.340 This governor is horrible.
00:40:57.860 An embarrassment to the country.
00:40:59.520 And it's a land grab.
00:41:00.660 It's going to become a land grab.
00:41:02.600 You watch.
00:41:04.060 You watch.
00:41:04.540 And this is what FEMA is now doing.
00:41:07.960 FEMA is now looking at every emergency as a way to grab the land and take the land from the people and push them someplace else.
00:41:18.360 You watch.
00:41:19.240 You watch.
00:41:20.020 It's going to happen.
00:41:21.020 And they're going to say, well, it's a memorial.
00:41:26.900 It's a memorial.
00:41:28.700 Well, okay.
00:41:29.740 Maybe.
00:41:30.880 Maybe.
00:41:31.520 But, wow.
00:41:33.340 I mean, before you even had found 90 people, you were already saying that.
00:41:41.480 It's really, it's sick.
00:41:43.320 It's very, it's very strange.
00:41:44.700 It's a very strange time to watch this guy do such a terrible job every single day.
00:41:51.380 And every, the media is making excuses for him over and over and over again.
00:41:56.420 But I don't know.
00:41:57.340 Can that, are we really a country that's going to fall for that?
00:42:01.100 Yeah.
00:42:01.360 It does feel like we're that type of country these days.
00:42:04.000 Well, you have to get used to it.
00:42:05.220 Here's cut two.
00:42:05.880 Listen to cut two.
00:42:06.660 Severe weather events are going to get more frequent and more severe.
00:42:12.360 Hawaii is a place that has experienced volcanic eruptions and tsunamis and hurricanes and tropical storms.
00:42:21.140 And we've had a few wildfires, but nothing that threatened a whole city.
00:42:26.920 Nothing that flattened a whole city.
00:42:29.160 And I just think this is the new normal for not just the state of Hawaii.
00:42:32.280 There you go.
00:42:32.840 That's from Senator Schatz.
00:42:34.920 And I Schatz my pants.
00:42:36.540 I want to talk to you a little bit about rough greens.
00:42:41.680 You do things in your dog's best interest all the time.
00:42:44.880 And you take care of your dog.
00:42:46.720 Are you feeding him properly or her?
00:42:49.180 Dog food that is kibble food has been dried and cooked.
00:42:55.940 All the good things have been cooked out of it.
00:42:58.060 Living is green.
00:43:00.540 Brown is dead food.
00:43:02.840 Rough greens is something that your dog needs.
00:43:05.980 Naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black has put together something that is full of vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants.
00:43:12.860 Whatever's healthy for your dog, your dog needs it.
00:43:17.020 And it's in rough greens, most likely.
00:43:19.920 So try it out with your dog, and you'll see what I mean.
00:43:22.100 Get the first bag free.

00:43:47.020 We got to stand together.
00:44:13.540 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:44:34.080 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:44:41.980 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:44:44.200 Well, it's a good thing that Joe Biden went over to Hawaii.
00:44:49.980 He got laid.
00:44:51.020 Then he went out on stage and said, hey, I remember a time like this when my kitchen was on fire.
00:44:59.740 It had to be taken out of the house in a flag-draped coffin.
00:45:02.280 And then I worried about my car and my cat.
00:45:05.920 And I think the people in Hawaii really related to that.
00:45:09.840 I think they became one, possibly in their hatred for the way this president has behaved.
00:45:18.240 But is it any better than what he did in Ohio?
00:45:21.780 J.D. Vance joins us in 60 seconds.
00:45:24.680 Whoever said that summertime living is easy never visited the great state of Texas.
00:45:29.960 It's not.
00:45:30.800 Especially back then when they wrote that stupid song.
00:45:35.220 I was driving just the other day and I said to my wife, can you imagine living here in the 70s?
00:45:38.780 She said they had air conditioning.
00:45:40.320 I said, no, but most cars, it was an add-on in most cars.
00:45:44.520 It would have been hell here.
00:45:48.460 Actually, it still is.
00:45:49.520 But thanks to the glories of air conditioning, it makes it tolerable.
00:45:54.020 So Texas is still the best in the country.

00:46:59.940 And he wrote Hillbilly Elegy.
00:47:02.940 He did.
00:47:03.620 Yes.
00:47:04.220 Which was made into a movie or I think a series on Netflix.
00:47:07.740 Yeah.
00:47:07.920 And took the country by storm.
00:47:10.380 It was a huge, hugely respected piece of art.
00:47:14.900 Yeah, I know.
00:47:15.280 For a very long time until he decided he was going to be a Republican politician.
00:47:18.580 Yeah.
00:47:18.760 Then it's just garbage.
00:47:19.840 It's trash.
00:47:20.360 Then it's trash.
00:47:20.800 Yeah.
00:47:20.900 He should write the book on Oliver Anthony.
00:47:24.480 Oh, yeah.
00:47:25.240 Yeah.
00:47:25.620 Don't you think?
00:47:26.180 Yeah.
00:47:26.320 I mean, he'd be really well suited to write the biography.
00:47:29.120 Because, I mean.
00:47:29.880 The story's fantastic.
00:47:31.100 Yeah.
00:47:31.380 You know.
00:47:31.880 And this story is amazing.
00:47:33.080 I want to know more.
00:47:34.600 I want to know more.
00:47:35.320 He's talked a little bit about his life and his struggles.
00:47:38.660 And can you imagine, like, you know, it's not just this thing where, like, okay, there
00:47:42.820 was a song and it came out and it went to number one on YouTube or iTunes for a day.
00:47:46.500 Or, you know, we see this every once in a while.
00:47:48.120 A book rises out of the number one on Amazon for a couple of days.
00:47:51.120 This is the number one song in the country.
00:47:54.060 This is like a head of Taylor Swift.
00:47:56.400 It's crazy.
00:47:57.400 This is, like, literally the number one song in the country.
00:48:00.780 And I don't know.
00:48:01.320 I find it simultaneously inspiring and, like, depressing.
00:48:06.360 Because I am depressed that it connects with so many people.
00:48:10.320 I hate that.
00:48:10.900 Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:48:11.140 I hate it.
00:48:12.180 Like, I mean, I.
00:48:13.340 But think of how many people don't feel alone.
00:48:15.680 I know.
00:48:16.520 I think that's great.
00:48:18.660 But I'm, I, I, it's, it saddens me that people feel that way.
00:48:22.060 I will be honest with you.
00:48:23.020 I don't.
00:48:24.320 I was listening to the lyrics of that song and I'm like, gosh, like, I, you know what?
00:48:27.460 Maybe my, maybe I'm just spoiled.
00:48:29.020 My life's better than that.
00:48:30.220 I'm glad it's better than that.
00:48:31.440 And I'm glad that, you know.
00:48:33.320 Play a little bit of it.
00:48:34.160 Let me hear the lyrics.
00:48:35.000 I, I think I agreed with them.
00:48:38.280 Yeah, I know.
00:48:38.940 But he just seems like, like, I mean, maybe I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, uh, combining his, his
00:48:44.840 story as well with the song lyrics at some level because he's talked about all the struggles
00:48:48.900 and how he, you know, he comes home and he drinks all day to forget, forget his worries.
00:48:52.520 Excuse us for not, you, you've never been an alcoholic.
00:48:54.840 Excuse us, Mr. Perfect.
00:48:55.660 No, no, I haven't.
00:48:56.960 In all seriousness, I haven't.
00:48:58.540 Thank God.
00:48:59.000 No, I know.
00:48:59.220 I know.
00:48:59.720 No, no, no, it's good.
00:49:00.040 It's depressing that that connects with so many people.
00:49:01.680 But.
00:49:02.140 But it does.
00:49:02.740 It does.
00:49:03.320 Yeah, it's real.
00:49:05.320 We have, uh, the Senator on with us now.
00:49:07.600 JD, how are you, sir?
00:49:09.140 I'm good going.
00:49:09.860 How you doing, man?
00:49:10.340 Very good.
00:49:10.680 We were just talking about that.
00:49:11.800 You should write the biography of, uh, Oliver Anthony.
00:49:15.520 I know you have better things to do now, but I think you would be fascinating.
00:49:19.960 You'd be really the guy who got it.
00:49:22.560 Yeah.
00:49:22.980 I mean, he's the most interesting guy in America right now.
00:49:25.160 It's sort of amazing.
00:49:25.960 I saw that his, uh, his song was at the top of the billboard, hot 100, which is just amazing
00:49:31.060 and shocking.
00:49:31.680 Uh, but his, I mean, I could talk about that song for a long time because I think it's
00:49:35.720 actually very layered and complex.
00:49:37.680 There's a lot going on there.
00:49:39.320 If you think about it, he's complaining both about low wages at a steel mill.
00:49:42.760 He's also complaining about welfare cheats.
00:49:44.600 And that's really where most people I think in our country are.
00:49:48.360 They want you to earn a good wage if you work hard.
00:49:50.680 They also don't want people to take advantage of the system.
00:49:52.740 And I think that both the right and the left in their various ways aren't totally comfortable
00:49:57.200 with what Oliver Anthony is selling, but most people are.
00:49:59.560 Why do you think the left isn't?
00:50:03.520 Well, look, I don't think the left likes to acknowledge that there are a lot of hardworking
00:50:07.200 people out there who believe we should have a social safety net for people who need it.
00:50:11.600 But those, those folks live amongst everybody and they see the folks who need it.
00:50:15.760 They also see the folks who take advantage of it.
00:50:17.760 And this is something, you know, I talk about in my book and the left really got angry at
00:50:21.800 me over is, you know, my mammal was sort of a blue collar, socially conservative Democrat,
00:50:26.960 but she hated the idea that there were people who were taking advantage of a system that was
00:50:32.680 there for people who needed it.
00:50:34.320 And I think that recognition that, yeah, there are people who need it, but there are people
00:50:37.660 who cheat is really, really important.
00:50:39.860 It's obviously true.
00:50:41.300 And it's something I think the left, it's actually disconnected the left from working
00:50:45.960 class America, because the average person in our country is not thinking about these
00:50:51.180 things through ideological blinders.
00:50:53.160 They're observing what goes on around them.
00:50:55.400 And what they see is that sometimes people take advantage of the system that pisses them
00:50:58.940 off as it should.
00:50:59.620 I was, I had dinner last week with a guy who's 33 years old and a billionaire.
00:51:06.460 He came from nothing.
00:51:08.660 He was homeless, said his mind to something, has quite a brilliant mind, went in to solve
00:51:17.620 a problem in medicine and did.
00:51:20.580 Everybody said he couldn't do it.
00:51:21.800 And he's a billionaire now.
00:51:23.640 And then he just retired and he decided, you know what?
00:51:27.240 I'm, I want to learn more about God.
00:51:29.320 So he went back to school and God only knows what his next phase is going to be.
00:51:34.100 But he was talking about how the, we have to understand that this next generation grew
00:51:42.380 up with the, seeing their parents screwed by the government, the fed and the banks in
00:51:49.260 2008.
00:51:50.080 And it continues to happen.
00:51:52.540 You, you look at what's happening in Hawaii.
00:51:54.280 The government gave them $700 one-time payment.
00:51:59.060 If you lost your home and your family members, um, social security is $1,100 a month.
00:52:06.920 But if you look at what illegals are getting, they're getting $2,200 for walking in.
00:52:11.640 Ukrainians per capita got $1,700.
00:52:16.040 I mean, what, where's our priority?
00:52:20.620 Yeah.
00:52:21.020 There's this sick way where if you work hard and play by the rules, you're actually discouraged
00:52:25.560 by your own government.
00:52:26.460 Whereas the people who cheat are rewarded by it.
00:52:28.560 Yes.
00:52:28.840 And that, that, that, that, that sickening sense of unfairness, I think your friend is
00:52:32.780 exactly right.
00:52:33.540 This is a big part of what's going on in our politics in 2023.
00:52:37.480 I mean, look, and this is something I've, I've encouraged my fellow conservatives to
00:52:40.980 think harder about.
00:52:42.140 What do you do if you are a 27 year old, you've got your first job out of, out of college or
00:52:48.440 out of trade school, and you're trying to buy a home right now and mortgage interest
00:52:52.180 rates are at 8%, whereas they were, they were 4% a year and a half ago.
00:52:55.840 I mean, you know, the, you know, this Glenn, but the, the average mortgage payment for American
00:53:01.280 families has skyrocketed.
00:53:02.740 So we're going to have a generation that doesn't want to get married, doesn't want to start
00:53:06.160 a family, doesn't want to buy into their community through a home purchase because it's just too
00:53:11.000 expensive.
00:53:11.840 And yet, of course, in 2008, the bankers got their bailout.
00:53:15.760 And in 2023, everybody from the Ukrainians to the illegal aliens get free money from the
00:53:21.100 government, but, but not the people who are working the hardest for it.
00:53:24.220 It's, it's a very messed up system and it's why we need a different kind of, I think,
00:53:29.480 politics, a, a, a politics that's willing to go at these power centers in our country.
00:53:34.080 So let me change it.
00:53:35.720 I want to get back to Hawaii here in a second, but, um, uh, let me stop here on the political
00:53:41.320 train tomorrow.
00:53:42.600 Donald Trump is not going to be, um, at the debate, but I think, what is it?
00:53:48.480 Nine will be, what do we expect from that?
00:53:52.500 I mean, I look at this as Donald Trump just from strategy and think we're doing exactly
00:53:57.460 the right thing for Donald Trump.
00:53:59.200 Why show up?
00:54:00.800 Um, nobody's even close.
00:54:02.560 What do you expect and why should we watch when it is such a blowout?
00:54:09.360 Well, first of all, I, I agree with you, Glenn.
00:54:11.180 I think that this is certainly the strategic decision from Donald Trump.
00:54:13.980 And frankly, I encouraged him to do it.
00:54:15.580 He and I are friends.
00:54:16.240 Of course, I've, I've endorsed him.
00:54:18.060 You know, one of the problems with the debate tomorrow is there are just too many people on
00:54:21.120 the stage, right?
00:54:21.860 So obviously Trump deserves an infight, even though he didn't accept it.
00:54:25.600 DeSantis should be up there.
00:54:26.840 Vivek should be up there.
00:54:27.740 A couple of others should be up there, but, but a lot of people are, have no credible chance of
00:54:31.920 winning the nomination.
00:54:32.640 So I think it's kind of a joke that they opened it up as broadly as they did.
00:54:36.820 And if you're Donald Trump, you know, why, why show up with somebody who's pulling at
00:54:40.660 literally 0% so this person can take pot shots at you that the Democrats, by the way, are
00:54:45.960 going to use a negative advertising 12 months from now when he's taken on Joe Biden.
00:54:49.440 It doesn't make any sense.
00:54:50.740 And I think he made the right decision.
00:54:52.240 I do too.
00:54:53.060 Um, what do you think about, uh, Vivek as a vice president?
00:54:58.760 Well, you, you know, Vivek and I know each other.
00:55:01.200 Well, we went to law school, uh, he's, you know, he's, he had a Thanksgiving dinner at
00:55:04.560 my house one day.
00:55:05.740 Uh, I think he'd be a great vice presidential candidate.
00:55:08.660 I think he'd be a good vice president.
00:55:10.360 Um, you ought to ask him.
00:55:11.620 Of course, he's interested.
00:55:12.580 My guess is he's really going after the main prize.
00:55:15.180 He is.
00:55:15.660 Uh, do I think that he'll get it?
00:55:17.100 No, I think Donald Trump's going to be the nominee, but I think he's obviously an impressive
00:55:20.260 guy and he's going to have a very, very big part of the future of the country.
00:55:23.020 And your thought on, uh, him against whomever is going to be the Democrats, uh, selection.
00:55:30.280 Do you think Joe Biden is going to actually make it all the way to the election?
00:55:36.000 I, you know, I do Glenn, just because I think it's the simplest thing that the, the crazy
00:55:40.020 thing about the democratic coalition in 2023, Glenn is, is nobody else can hold it together.
00:55:45.520 Uh, if you, if you put Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket, a lot of people are going
00:55:49.380 to rebel, if you put, you know, Pete Buttigieg, you're going to have a lot of, I think, middle
00:55:53.200 class black voters who have no interest in a completely inexperienced guy running for
00:55:57.500 president.
00:55:58.260 Uh, so their coalition, they, they need these upper crust white professionals with middle
00:56:04.220 class blacks.
00:56:05.020 And that's sort of the base of their coalition.
00:56:07.060 I don't think anybody else can hold it together.
00:56:08.880 If it's not Joe Biden for them, I think they're in for an even worse election than they're in
00:56:12.500 for.
00:56:12.980 And I, by the way, Glenn, I just do not buy this idea that Donald Trump cannot win a general
00:56:18.080 election, even ignoring all of the issues with 2020, you had 41,000 votes in three states
00:56:24.820 in the midst of COVID with everything else going on.
00:56:28.280 Uh, the polling is good for Trump.
00:56:30.320 I actually think we have a very good chance of, of putting him back in the Oval Office.
00:56:34.020 And I hope we do.
00:56:35.240 Um, the, um, one more, before we get off politics, the idea that Michelle Obama would come to the
00:56:41.260 rescue.
00:56:43.660 Uh, that's interesting, Glenn.
00:56:45.160 Uh, that may be one person who, you know, she's, she's got, um, she's, she's maybe got
00:56:50.540 it to hold the coalition together.
00:56:52.320 I don't know that the average middle of the road voter is going to go for Michelle Obama.
00:56:57.600 Um, you know, obviously sort of what they know about her is, is this first lady, but
00:57:01.020 that's a big leap to go from first lady to running for president.
00:57:04.080 The last time it happened, of course, it didn't work out too well.
00:57:06.980 Uh, so I, I'm skeptical, but man, crazier things have happened in this country.
00:57:10.700 So the president was, uh, in, um, in Maui yesterday.
00:57:15.640 Um, I thought it was a horrendous appearance.
00:57:19.660 Is it better for the people of Ohio that he didn't show up, uh, in Ohio when, uh, you
00:57:26.580 know, East Palestine needed so much help?
00:57:30.520 You know, I think it would have been better for him and for his administration to focus
00:57:33.780 on it.
00:57:34.140 I never cared that much about him showing up besides the fact that it's a good symbolic
00:57:38.480 gesture, uh, but the administration has really done a terrible job.
00:57:42.100 I mean, our, our governor, Mike DeWine, uh, requested a disaster declaration a few weeks
00:57:46.740 ago.
00:57:47.120 The president still hasn't responded to it.
00:57:49.240 There are all of these weird ways.
00:57:51.040 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:57:52.020 Still for East Palestine.
00:57:54.200 Correct.
00:57:54.580 That's right.
00:57:55.340 Yeah.
00:57:55.900 Uh, unless it happened this morning, uh, but it hasn't happened in the last few weeks.
00:57:58.880 And DeWine requested, I believe in late July or, or maybe early August, but no, that
00:58:03.400 still hasn't happened, Glenn.
00:58:04.520 And, and we, we still have, you know, some problems with the EPA.
00:58:07.760 We still have problems with Norfolk Southern, not doing the cleanup in the way that it should
00:58:12.280 be done.
00:58:12.940 So, so the issue is you need a president to show some leadership here.
00:58:16.600 And we've tried to fill the gap as much as possible.
00:58:19.020 You know, I was there just last week and trying to hammer people to do what they need to do.
00:58:22.620 But man, for something like that, you actually need a president to do his job and he just
00:58:26.680 hasn't done it.
00:58:27.580 And I say, Glenn, I think it's because they're not his voters.
00:58:29.720 He knows the people of East Palestine are not, you know, democratic base voters.
00:58:34.980 And so he just doesn't feel like he's got to do anything for him.
00:58:38.120 And it's really a tragedy.
00:58:39.300 It's disgusting that the president thinks about his own country like that.
00:58:42.000 So we were talking about it, um, this morning about him going to, um, Hawaii and he really
00:58:50.200 didn't seem to have any interest in it at all.
00:58:53.080 And a lot of people will give him a pass because he's old and you know, whatever.
00:58:57.420 But I, I really, I think it goes beyond his own constituents.
00:59:01.520 I, I don't think he actually cares that much about people.
00:59:06.280 I know that's horrible to say, but can you give me a lot of examples where he's just been
00:59:12.600 wildly gracious to people that, you know, didn't know him or he didn't have anything to win?
00:59:18.260 Well, I mean, if he, uh, you know, they, they had a bunch of, uh, you know, 18 year old
00:59:23.420 girls that he could awkwardly interact with.
00:59:25.160 Maybe that's, that's the trick to getting Joe Biden to show some, to getting Joe Biden
00:59:28.860 to show some interest.
00:59:29.740 I mean, he, he, look, he's an odd guy.
00:59:31.440 Clearly 40 years in politics has done something to his brain.
00:59:34.520 Um, and that's, that's, that's pretty obvious.
00:59:36.980 I will say Glenn, you know, one thing I really love about sort of our political movement is look,
00:59:42.620 Hawaii is obviously a blue state.
00:59:44.100 I haven't met a single Republican politician, grassroots member who hasn't just expressed
00:59:50.040 complete sadness and heartbreak for what's going on in Hawaii.
00:59:53.700 I saw my dad a couple of days ago, they were talking about praying for Hawaii at their church.
00:59:57.780 I, I think we have to keep this attitude that everybody, even if they don't vote the right
01:00:01.680 way, they're, they're members of our shared American community.
01:00:05.220 And I think that's, you've seen that in Hawaii.
01:00:07.440 There's been a lot of concern from our side of the aisle.
01:00:09.820 And I think, I think that's one thing we should be proud of.
01:00:12.100 And I just wish that the people of Hawaii got, got more, uh, for this tragedy because
01:00:17.540 they're, they're really suffering.
01:00:19.180 And you look at the local, local officials, they still don't know about how many kids are
01:00:22.840 missing.
01:00:23.180 This is just really, really massive failure of government at every level.
01:00:27.940 We should be doing better by these people.
01:00:29.760 And I hope that we get a chance to.
01:00:31.040 So I tell you, JD, um, you're exactly right.
01:00:34.000 Um, and that's why this audience has already raised $1.2 million in aid.
01:00:40.940 I'd like to get it.
01:00:42.280 I'd like to get another million dollars just so we can outperform the government because
01:00:46.560 people always do better than the government.
01:00:49.800 Um, and if we want them to do less, we need to do more, but you can donate at mercury one.org,
01:00:54.840 by the way.
01:00:55.640 Um, but, uh, you, you know, they always ask, uh, prayers and prayers and our backs and
01:01:02.840 our wallets as well in this particular case.
01:01:06.100 JD, thank you very much.
01:01:07.340 I appreciate him.
01:01:08.500 Thanks for that.
01:01:09.140 Take care.
01:01:09.500 Bye-bye.
01:01:09.800 Senator JD Vance from Ohio.
01:01:12.660 Parallel economy is about two things, values and value.
01:01:18.080 Those two things.
01:01:19.400 I prefer doing business with companies who bring both to the company.
01:01:24.040 Um, that is, um, if you don't have values, you're just another company and it's just another
01:01:33.320 sale.
01:01:34.360 Um, I, I think you need both to really truly bring value to the table.
01:01:39.680 And one of the best companies I know that is doing that is good ranchers, good ranchers.
01:01:44.600 They're already a company that sources beef, chicken, seafood, pork, 100% from American
01:01:50.100 farms and ranchers.
01:01:51.500 So you want the extra value?
01:01:53.500 Try this on for size.
01:01:54.660 When you subscribe to any of their monthly meat boxes, you're going to get two years of
01:01:59.460 free ground beef.
01:02:01.200 That's 144 meals you don't have to pay for.
01:02:06.060 So how about an extra on the values as well?
01:02:08.820 Since good ranchers spends their own money to provide 10 meals per box.
01:02:13.260 You order to Americans in need.
01:02:15.100 That means they give out 240 meals over the course of your subscription.
01:02:19.220 That is the spirit of the parallel economy.

01:02:40.860 Station ID.
01:02:43.260 It's a dramatic disconnect.
01:03:12.040 Obviously, but it also points to the fact that inflation is driving the train.
01:03:17.340 And as long as inflation remains, even if it remains where it is, it's still sticky.
01:03:24.220 And how do you compete?
01:03:25.560 How do you compete against that narrative?
01:03:27.420 Because otherwise you could build a case that said, you know what?
01:03:30.160 The economy is pretty good, but people don't care because they're tired of paying higher
01:03:34.360 prices.
01:03:34.800 And they think the president is at least in part to blame.
01:03:38.220 Look, I hear where you're coming from.
01:03:40.880 And I get this question all the time, but I feel like that line of questioning is starting
01:03:47.020 to get a little bit stale.
01:03:48.560 And the reason I say that is, I'm going to explain.
01:03:52.800 The reason I say that is, is you've got to get into some of the guts of what these polls
01:03:57.840 are telling us.
01:03:58.960 Okay.
01:03:59.520 Oh, wow.
01:04:00.020 All right.
01:04:00.920 Yeah.
01:04:01.980 Here's what people are telling you.
01:04:04.260 They're growing broke.
01:04:05.560 They have spent every excess savings that they had put aside after COVID.
01:04:12.980 Remember, oh, that people's savings is crazy.
01:04:15.300 It's all gone now.
01:04:16.440 That whole thing, that's gone.
01:04:19.060 They're in more credit card debt than they've ever been in the history of America.
01:04:25.880 People are paying a lot more for their food, for their gas.
01:04:30.700 What do you mean the economy is doing well?
01:04:33.520 I'll tell you what I mean.
01:04:34.560 The fat cats, the bank, Wall Street, all those guys.
01:04:39.380 I'm sorry, but I don't measure the success of our nation that way.
01:04:45.320 You don't have success of a nation if that's all you've got.
01:04:50.860 That's all you've got.
01:04:52.880 You don't really have anything.
01:04:55.700 You have a ruling class of elites that are telling everyone else, let them eat cake.
01:05:04.560 Why not?
01:05:05.640 There's plenty of cake in the world.
01:05:07.360 This is basically what he's saying.
01:05:10.060 No, I'm tired of hearing that about inflation.
01:05:12.700 You've got to look at all the facts, all the good stuff that's going on up above.
01:05:17.140 Look at all the cake.
01:05:19.340 What?
01:05:19.980 They're hungry?
01:05:20.720 Let them eat some cake.
01:05:21.860 There's plenty of cake.
01:05:23.080 Oh, my gosh.
01:05:25.040 Doesn't end well.

01:06:54.900 So, let me, you know, I, my father said, if we lie to one another, we don't have a family.
01:07:10.320 And so, you know, honesty is always the best policy.
01:07:13.500 So, let me just, let me come out from behind this throne of lies on which I sit and tell you that I haven't really been following the Senator Tommy Tuberville thing.
01:07:28.420 Uh, I, I said in a meeting last week with my producers, I think this is good, right?
01:07:36.480 I mean, I know that he's trying to stop the money going to the military for abortions, or is he just asking for clarification?
01:07:48.440 I'm not sure, but I know the left is really pissed off at him, and that kind of makes me happy.
01:07:55.960 Uh, and, and it looks like it is, like, I can't say it's successful because we don't have an ending to it yet.
01:08:02.820 But this is the first time I've seen somebody do something like this and just not get a brick thrown at their head by everybody.
01:08:11.200 And so, I wanted Tommy to come on, and I apologize, but I'm, I'm watching other things, uh, and just explain where we are in this campaign.
01:08:21.400 Senator, how are you, sir?
01:08:23.940 Good morning, Glenn, and don't worry about that.
01:08:26.140 There's a lot of important things going on.
01:08:28.060 I know.
01:08:28.380 And not to say that this isn't, I just haven't, I just haven't, it's constantly on my radar, but over off on a corner.
01:08:37.300 And I keep hearing about it, and I think it's been going on for like a year, hasn't it?
01:08:42.280 Well, it started about, it started in July last year.
01:08:45.000 I heard they were going to change the military abortion policy, which was passed in 1985 by the Democrats and Joe Biden,
01:08:52.260 that you can only do abortion in the military, but, uh, but because of the three exceptions, and I heard they were going to change that after Roe Wade.
01:09:00.640 They won't put everybody that's a federal employee on some kind of abortion policy.
01:09:04.140 And, and, uh, so it took me about four months, Glenn, to get a briefing.
01:09:08.420 I got a briefing, and then I told Secretary Austin, no, no, no, no, we're not going to charge the American taxpayers for travel, for abortion, for military.
01:09:16.160 That's not going to happen. If you do that, I'm going to hold your generals and admirals, well, too much later in, uh, February of this year.
01:09:22.920 So it's, I guess it's been about seven months. Uh, I put a hold and that's the only power, Glenn, is a Senator.
01:09:28.940 If you're in the minority, that's really the only power that you have. And so I put a hold on and, uh, they've, they've came after me, but, uh, I'm not changing my mind.
01:09:39.040 I mean, I'm right. I'm right.
01:09:40.900 So, you know, it's, what's crazy here is that, you know, we have, I think we have 44 four-star generals right now in World War II.
01:09:50.880 We had seven, seven. I mean, what, who's printing up four-star generals? Why do we need all of these?
01:09:58.580 I mean, I have no problem with something like this. And I, I, it's clear that nobody doing anything knows this is a losing battle for their side.
01:10:07.380 Nobody's going to say, oh, you know what? We need to promote those guys. I have no problem with promotions, but not if you're out of control, completely out of control.
01:10:20.200 Yeah. Well, for your audience, here's what happens. Uh, they bring the general admirals and, uh, to the floor, not basically not to the floor.
01:10:28.560 They do, we do it off the floor and we confirm three or 400 at a time. And, uh, instead of voting on them individually, now to me, generals and admirals are very important.
01:10:38.420 Obviously we need to understand whether they can do the job or not do the job. As you said, we had seven back in World War II, now 44 and rising. Uh, the Pentagon is bulging at the seams.
01:10:49.340 Uh, they're all driving around in black SUVs. And, and you got to remember this too, Glenn, uh, a general, a four-star basically has a budget, uh, and people working around him of five, 600 million a year.
01:11:03.440 Oh my God. Oh my God. And so, uh, uh, the joint chiefs of staff chairman, for instance, uh, Mark Milley, who it is right now, his budget is something like 300 million and has 4,600 employees.
01:11:17.540 What the heck, uh, do we need that many people working for, uh, the joint chiefs of staff? It, it's, it makes no sense. We need war fighters. You know, listen, I'm a military person and I hate them doing this.
01:11:29.840 My dad died on active duty. He was career military. Uh, I was a military brat. Uh, you know, we traveled and, and, uh, you know, there's nothing more important Glenn in our country than a great military, but let me tell you something.
01:11:43.280 Um, we're headed South, a whole country's headed South, but if we lose our military and our spot in world, uh, national security, it's going to be over for us.
01:11:53.480 Well, I think we, I think we're headed that direction with what we're doing in, um, Ukraine with these people in the Pentagon.
01:12:02.780 I have, I mean, I, I'm sure you saw what Mark Milley said yesterday. Okay. So we had a handful of drag queen shows. That doesn't mean we went woke.
01:12:12.340 Uh, I have a problem with the first part of that sentence. Okay. We had a, a handful of drag queen shows. What the, I mean, what are they concentrating on?
01:12:25.700 Yeah. Well, Glenn, I'll tell you, I've taken, I've had the opportunity now to, to look at all these generals and admirals and we started in February with one and it went to 10 and 50, then 75.
01:12:36.760 Uh, we're up to 300 now and it'll probably be closer to 600 at the end of the year. Now, again, telling the people out there, listen, I am, I cannot hold these people up.
01:12:45.840 They can bring them to the floor one at a time and confirm them. I can't do that, but I can hold all of them being said, okay, we're just going to pass you on by. That's what I'm doing.
01:12:55.140 And so Schumer, he doesn't want to bring it to the floor because he will admit guilt, uh, bringing them one at a time.
01:13:01.860 But the thing of the thing about, about all this is just absolutely amazing. Uh, after looking at each one of these generals and admirals, how woke a lot of these people are.
01:13:11.920 I mean, the things that they teach and that they want to teach. I mean, as I tell general Austin and Millie in hearings face to face, uh, out in public, we don't need to educate our young men and women in the military in terms of anything, but a killing machine, because people have to fear us.
01:13:32.320 And they don't fear us right now because all we're doing is we're teaching DEI, this wokeism, drag Queens. Uh, now a lot of these, uh, so-called young men or women are getting in the military so they can have their transition paid for by the taxpayers. What in the hell are we doing?
01:13:49.480 So what is your hope that, I mean, if we're passing them one by one, are you hoping that the Americans will eventually do what I didn't go? What is this really all about? What are we doing here?
01:14:02.320 Yeah. Hey, well, I want to be brought to the floor where all my colleagues, not just on the left, but also on the right. Look at this person that we're confirming going, wait a minute. Uh, look at the books that this, this person has, has, has written, or look at the things that they've taught, uh, and as a one star or a two star, uh, again, we've got to get back to having more people that the people that actually do the war fighting or the, or the second lieutenants, the captains, the sergeants.
01:14:32.320 Uh, the people that train these people, it's not the generals and the admirals. These are politicians. That's all they are. And I, I was hoping when I got to DC three years ago that I wouldn't recognize that, uh, that, that there are actually, our military was, was bipartisan. It wasn't politics. It was all about, Hey, protecting the United States and its allies that we're far from that.
01:14:53.700 I mean, this is, this is going, we're going overboard. And this Ukraine war is just, just brought more out. I haven't voted for a dime for the Ukraine. Now, listen, I hope they win. I was in Ukraine three months before this started. And Zelensky looked me now and says, the only way we can stop this is y'all give us weapons and put on and let, and let, uh, Putin see what, that you're going to back us.
01:15:14.780 Well, of course he, we didn't do that. Joe Biden was asleep at the wheel. He had a two minute conversation with Putin and look how many hundreds of thousands of people that, uh, Joe Biden has gotten killed, uh, because of this.
01:15:26.020 And, uh, I hate it for the Ukrainian people. And I've said this, uh, and I've, I've taken a lot of flack for it. It's kind of like a junior high playing against a college football team. Uh, they can't win. I don't, I don't care what we give them unless we go over there and help them fight. Um, we, they can't win. And we're not going to do that on my watch. Hopefully. I don't, I don't know whether I could stop it or not, but I'll be, uh, outspoken about it.
01:15:49.620 Well, I will, I will tell you this. I know there's a ton of people that feel like I do. Uh, you draft my son, my son, I'm personally moving him. Well, not to Canada. I don't know. Some place, uh, away from the reach of the military. I will not support. I will not let my family, my children support a war with in Ukraine with Russia.
01:16:14.180 We have no reason to be there. We have funneled so much money. And I believe, I believe probably at least 50% of that has gone into dark money. It's just gone. Uh, no, thanks. Not going to do it. Not going to do it.
01:16:31.320 Yeah. Well, what, what your audience ought to understand too is, you know, if when there's a national disaster, you know, the next thing that's going to happen is the national disaster is going to get very little money. A lot of money is going to go to Ukraine. The problem that people don't understand is we don't have anything to sell them right now. We don't have anything to give them because we're out. Even Joe Biden said we're out of ammunition. Well, no kidding. I mean, they've been shooting them at a, at as fast as they possibly can because they don't have the people. Uh, they don't have the people that rush.
01:17:01.300 And so, uh, the money that we're sending now is going up to prop their prop up their government and prop up their, uh, pension system, uh, going, going in to keep their, uh, the country going. Cause they don't have an economy right now. Uh, we, they are the 51st state of the United States and we're sending all that money there. And when we're imploding within our borders, uh, the things that are going on in our country, which is in year in my lifetime, Glenn, it's the worst you and I have ever seen.
01:17:30.800 And it's getting worse.
01:17:32.700 Do you, are you hopeful?
01:17:36.940 Yeah, I'm, I'm hopeful because I believe in this country, you and I had an opportunity to grow up in something that was very special after world war II, the, the growth and the building of our country. And, and, uh, but you know, since the nineties and Clinton's NAFTA and all that, we've sent all of our manufacturing out.
01:17:52.040 I've, I've seen our education and I've talked to you before about the, our education systems turned into not an educational institution. It's turned into a social institution.
01:18:01.140 Yeah, it's indoctrination.
01:18:02.720 Yeah, exactly. And it's just, um, it's sad to see it go this direction. Uh, do we have to go to the bottom before we find out that, uh, the direction that we're heading? I hope not.
01:18:13.980 Uh, I, I, I just think that, and would hope and pray that there would be enough good people in this country to step up and, and say, even on the left side. And I know there's people on the left and I've talked to them about it. Uh, senators all the time.
01:18:27.940 You can't believe this. You can't believe what we're doing at the borders. Right. You can't do that. I mean, and, and, and again, it all goes back to politics. My God, stand up for your country. This is not about Republican Democrat anymore. This is about Americans versus anti-Americans. They want to change this country and something that's not, you can't Glenn, you can't run a world, not just our country, a world without fossil fuels. It is impossible.
01:18:54.700 But these clowns are trying to convince people about this climate hoax, that we've got to do this, but we're going to implode. No, we're going to implode because we're not going to have the facilities or the things to do to keep up this country and keep this world going.
01:19:08.100 It has been a good to talk to you. Thank you so much. Um, I appreciate all that you're doing and let us know how we can help.
01:19:16.080 All right, Glenn. Stay tuned. Thank you. Appreciate it. Senator, uh, Tommy Tuberville from Alabama.
01:19:24.700 Did you know that last year alone, there were over 1.1 million reports of identity theft. We depend so much on the digital world these days, both in our personal lives, in our business. And one of the things that comes along, uh, is increased vulnerability to cyber crime and everything that comes along with it. It's so important that you are protected and you understand the world that we're about to enter.
01:19:50.160 Everything you have could be on the line at any time. It's important to understand how cyber crime and identity theft are affecting our lives.
01:19:58.840 It's equally important to realize that there are measures that can, you can take that will help that from stop happening for, from happening. Um, not everybody can stop everything. There's no way you can't keep up with it.

01:20:36.680 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:20:56.480 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. Oh my gosh, there is so much, uh, to go over. We're just not going to get to all of it. Please sign up for our email newsletter.
01:21:06.660 There is an amazing opinion piece. Uh, maybe we'll squeeze it in. Amazing opinion piece from the New York times. Elections are bad for democracy.
01:21:16.920 There you go. They're finally saying the quiet part out loud. Right. But I want you to hear it. I want you to hear it because, well, I just want you to hear it. Who wrote it? Give me a sense of who wrote it.
01:21:27.780 Uh, let's see. It was written by Adam Grant. Hmm. A contributing opinion writer who is an organizational psychologist. Hmm. Uh, at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. Hmm. That's going to be interesting. Yeah. It's going to be, it is interesting. I read it going, uh-huh. And I came out going, hmm. Interesting. Yeah. There's another moment like this recently with, uh, Jonah Goldberg.
01:21:50.780 Jonah Goldberg, who's, you know, been a friend of the show for a very long time. Yeah, yeah. And he talked about how the desire for small dollar donors is hurting the election process. Yeah.
01:21:59.780 And he got beat up by that. And I've heard him talk about this before, so I wasn't as shaken by it as it was by a lot of people. But, like, there are incentives that are created by people, by chasing, right, what you think everybody wants to hear.
01:22:16.120 And it doesn't mean that, like, this party knows better. I don't, I don't, I don't think that. But, like, you do see a lot of politicians these days doing things to attract small dollar donors, and that's it. They're not doing things because they think they're the right policy. They don't think they're the right because they believe in some ideological principle. It's like they're just chasing money from, like, it's like trying to get retweets. And it does create bad incentives. I don't know if there's a great solution to that, but, like.
01:22:43.860 Yeah, so don't chase the money. Let the money be the byproduct of what you say.
01:22:48.680 Yeah, the solution is curing human nature among really crappy politicians and electing better people.
01:22:55.500 It's the same with capitalism. If you set out to make money, if that's your goal, you could end up in the porn business or the Bible business, and you might get rich, but you won't be happy.
01:23:09.820 If you set out to change people's lives and you look at those people who no one is listening to, that's the key here. Find the group that no one is listening to and super serve that group.
01:23:26.800 When you do, your business will explode, okay? And your donations will go up. Who isn't being served? It's not just that the rich aren't being served or the poor aren't being served.
01:23:41.600 The people who are not being listened to are the people who actually believe in the freedom of opportunity, the Constitution as written.
01:23:52.860 You'll find money from all different demographics from people who believe that. That's what your goal should be.
01:24:01.100 I'm serving this underserved group. And quite honestly, proof is in the pudding. That's kind of what Donald Trump did.
01:24:08.020 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:24:12.340 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:24:24.460 We got no room to compromise.
01:24:29.760 We got to stand together, it's the course of life.
01:24:33.400 Stand up, stand up, stand up, hold the line.
01:24:40.740 It's a new day, I'm trying to raise.
01:24:46.700 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:24:54.580 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:25:01.080 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:25:03.400 Stu has given me pause to think on a couple of things today.
01:25:09.160 And it all started from a conversation that we started to have, I don't know, about three hours ago, on the, what is his name?
01:25:20.320 Anthony, Oliver Anthony.
01:25:23.740 The Oliver Anthony song that is number one.
01:25:26.580 And he looks at it in a different way than I do.
01:25:30.720 And it's really kind of has him depressed, where I think it's actually a really good sign.
01:25:37.400 But we start there and it ends, believe it or not, with me changing a really critical answer to a critical question.
01:25:52.020 And it involves Trump going to jail.
01:25:55.360 And I've said one thing forever.
01:26:00.700 And Stu asked me a question and I thought, I've just changed my mind.
01:26:07.420 And he said, what, because the last few weeks you've been thinking?
01:26:11.440 And I'm like, no, that question changed my mind.
01:26:14.600 And it is really critical.
01:26:17.160 And I'll share it.
01:26:17.660 Coming up in 60 seconds.
01:26:19.120 First, you've entrusted your life earnings with the banks, believing that they were solid.
01:26:25.340 Guess what?
01:26:26.700 They're walking on thin, thin, thin ice.
01:26:29.660 Bond rating downgrades are looming large.
01:26:33.220 Banks are now scrambling.
01:26:34.740 And it could spell real trouble for your savings.
01:26:38.720 Giants like JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America are getting the jitters.
01:26:43.820 Smaller local banks could be the next dominoes to fall.
01:26:47.820 These turbulent times, you really, you know, I read a story from MSNBC yesterday.
01:26:55.800 And it was about gold.
01:26:58.100 And it said, gold, people are being scammed with gold because there's no future in gold.
01:27:08.500 It's just a right wing propaganda thing.
01:27:10.640 And I thought, it's really weird because nobody's really talking about gold right now,
01:27:16.180 unless you're talking about CBDCs and the end of the dollar.
01:27:20.980 So are you telling me that the end of the dollar, you really don't think that that's possible?
01:27:28.560 MSNBC, you really think, you're telling your people there's no question your dollar is safe.
01:27:35.400 When we've seen inflation at the target rate of 3%, which means in 10 years, you've lost 38 cents on every dollar.
01:27:44.420 Is that what you're telling your people?
01:27:47.020 I find the timing curious, to say the least.
01:27:50.340 But if you're somebody who would like to think for themselves, I want you to do your own homework.
01:27:56.660 I beg you to do your own homework.
01:27:59.180 Don't take it from me.
01:28:00.620 Go do your own homework and find out if gold or silver is right for you.
01:28:04.220 Ask Goldline why I buy what I buy.
01:28:07.040 I pay extra because I buy them a certain different way.
01:28:12.120 American Eagles now are in demand.
01:28:14.620 And they almost never make it to the specials.
01:28:17.260 When you buy a tube of Golden Eagles, that's 50 coins, of one-tenth-ounce American Eagle gold coins,
01:28:25.160 they're throwing in 10 of the one-ounce American Eagle silver coins for free.
01:28:29.900 Heads up, doesn't apply to IRA orders.
01:28:32.580 These coins are flying off the shelves.
01:28:34.300 Do it.
01:28:34.680 Now, for stability reasons, please call and find out if this is right for you.
01:28:39.500 866-GOLDLINE, 866-GOLDLINE, or goldline.com.
01:28:44.660 So let's start with Oliver Anthony's song.
01:28:50.240 This is a song that is now number one on the Billboard charts.
01:28:53.940 Biggest song in America.
01:28:56.020 It is an absolute incredible feat.
01:29:00.340 The guy has a great story.
01:29:02.180 He said that he didn't want to be a star.
01:29:07.080 He's like, I don't want to go on tour.
01:29:08.520 I don't want stadiums of people.
01:29:10.920 I'm just expressing how I feel.
01:29:13.680 So let's take how he feels.
01:29:15.600 Let's take this song line by line.
01:29:17.160 Because Stu said that he looks at this much differently, I think, than I do.
01:29:23.680 Simultaneously, I find the story inspiring.
01:29:26.500 And again, the story turns inspiring like a month ago.
01:29:29.220 It was very dark before that.
01:29:30.600 He was fighting all sorts of demons.
01:29:32.680 Yes.
01:29:33.220 It turns around about a month ago.
01:29:35.300 This whole thing blows up.
01:29:36.260 He's now ahead of Taylor Swift.
01:29:37.540 I find that incredibly inspiring.
01:29:39.340 And there are parts of the song that you find like, thank God somebody said that.
01:29:42.760 But I also look at the song lyrics as depressing in a way.
01:29:47.620 Because I'm sad that so many people seem to really closely relate to what he's describing.
01:29:53.380 And you don't feel this way.
01:29:54.100 I don't.
01:29:54.820 And it's not just people exactly in my position.
01:29:57.760 People who have much less material stuff.
01:30:00.760 And everything else.
01:30:01.460 Okay.
01:30:01.920 You don't think of the world this way.
01:30:03.740 I hope most people don't.
01:30:05.760 So let's listen to it.
01:30:06.660 Go ahead.
01:30:07.100 I've been selling my soul.
01:30:09.820 Working all day.
01:30:11.980 Over time hours.
01:30:13.860 For bullsh** pay.
01:30:15.340 So I can sit out here.
01:30:17.320 And waste my life away.
01:30:19.760 Drag back home.
01:30:21.300 And drown my troubles away.
01:30:23.020 Stop.
01:30:23.940 Good God.
01:30:24.980 That is a dark stanza, if you would.
01:30:28.140 I think, though, that there are.
01:30:30.260 Have you ever thought.
01:30:32.120 I just did recently.
01:30:35.340 You know, there are only 4,000.
01:30:39.700 What is the significance of 4,000 weeks?
01:30:43.660 I guess it's about one lifetime, right?
01:30:45.840 One lifetime.
01:30:46.600 Yeah.
01:30:46.980 4,000 weeks.
01:30:48.360 Do the math.
01:30:49.400 I have 1,036 weeks left.
01:30:55.820 No.
01:30:56.560 I have 936 left.
01:31:00.760 That's how many I have left.
01:31:03.820 And, and.
01:31:05.320 I mean, that's.
01:31:06.140 And, of course, you hope to have that.
01:31:07.500 I hope to have.
01:31:08.180 That's an average lifespan of 76 years.
01:31:10.660 So you only have 4,000 weeks.
01:31:12.900 Do the math.
01:31:13.980 And I, I don't know what is happening to me, but I am thinking about my life entirely differently now.
01:31:23.340 All the time.
01:31:24.680 I, I was with Tanya and she said, what are you, what are you thinking?
01:31:28.540 And I was like, I'm just thinking about the kids.
01:31:30.760 But I wasn't really thinking about the kids.
01:31:33.100 I was thinking about how can I set things up?
01:31:36.820 How can I help them, you know, long after my years?
01:31:40.920 It's weird.
01:31:42.060 Oh, I've had, you know, you have these thoughts as you get older.
01:31:44.580 Wait until you hit 60.
01:31:45.840 I'm 59.
01:31:46.740 So my dad died when he was 61.
01:31:49.460 Yeah.
01:31:49.980 And so I was thinking about this at one point, you know, I'm, I'm 47, I think now, which means
01:31:54.940 I'm 14 years away from the year my dad died.
01:31:59.200 If you go backwards 14 years, Barack Obama was president.
01:32:03.460 I know.
01:32:03.840 Like, I hope I don't die at 61, of course, but it's like, good God, this, this goes fast.
01:32:11.660 You at 61 puts me dead.
01:32:14.800 You know, one year of death before me, if I lived the average lifespan.
01:32:19.060 Okay.
01:32:19.460 And it's going to happen fast.
01:32:21.300 And so I've been thinking, I don't want to spend any time on anything that is useless.
01:32:30.680 And I feel at times, and I think this is for the average person at times, you feel like
01:32:36.740 I'm just wasting my life, just trying to keep up.
01:32:40.980 I'm just trying to put food on the table and keep up.
01:32:44.140 I don't have the time because, because especially now your pay, your money is worth less.
01:32:51.100 And so you go to the grocery store and every week you're at the grocery store and you're
01:32:54.880 like, oh my gosh, you got to be kidding me.
01:32:58.120 And so you're going to have to work harder and harder just to keep pace and time slipping
01:33:03.460 away.
01:33:03.660 You feel like I'm selling my soul.
01:33:05.620 Selling my soul for what?
01:33:06.820 The almighty buck?
01:33:09.200 I feel like that.
01:33:10.580 I understand that.
01:33:11.380 And selling your soul is something that is at some level a choice because at some point
01:33:21.480 in your life, you have to make the decision of whether your soul is affected by a lot
01:33:27.260 of the difficult circumstances that surround you.
01:33:29.860 And that's why it's such a sad part of the song where it's not just about, hey, he doesn't
01:33:36.080 get paid enough and he works really hard because a lot of people have to deal with that.
01:33:39.140 But coming out and thinking, seeing your life as a waste and then drowning your sorrows
01:33:45.460 in what obviously is alcohol and or drugs in this particular circumstance is a horrible
01:33:51.040 way to deal with it.
01:33:53.300 And it's sad that so many people relate to it.
01:33:57.760 I think when you look though, Stu.
01:34:00.480 But it's true.
01:34:01.380 And certainly through COVID, it's increased an incredible amount.
01:34:04.340 Yeah, look at the depression rates.
01:34:05.740 Look at the suicide rates.
01:34:07.280 I mean, that's what people, that's how people are dealing with it.
01:34:10.220 And honestly, it's terrible.
01:34:12.300 I mean, how can you not be depressed by that?
01:34:13.860 Oh, I know.
01:34:14.740 Okay, go ahead.
01:34:15.440 Next.
01:34:16.000 It's a damn shame what the world's gotten to for people like me.
01:34:22.140 People like you wish I could just wake up and it not be true.
01:34:27.260 So true.
01:34:27.600 But it is.
01:34:28.600 Yeah.
01:34:28.960 So true.
01:34:29.760 Wait, stop.
01:34:30.480 You don't agree with that?
01:34:31.420 No.
01:34:31.700 I mean, like he says people like me, meaning himself, Oliver Anthony.
01:34:34.820 And it's 100% true, right?
01:34:36.640 It's true.
01:34:37.100 It's his life experience.
01:34:38.700 People like me, you know, again, I know a lot of people.
01:34:42.380 Well, you're one of the rich sons of me.
01:34:43.680 Again, like a lot of this, you could see, hey, I've worked a lot of overtime hours in
01:34:48.120 my life.
01:34:48.940 BS pay at this point.
01:34:50.320 Luckily, I don't have to deal with that problem at the moment.
01:34:52.340 Yeah.
01:34:52.620 It could change at any time.
01:34:53.780 And I know that.
01:34:54.500 But I will say that, like, when it comes to a point of when you're talking about people
01:34:59.660 like you, there are a lot of people out there who really relate with it and with what he's
01:35:04.700 saying here.
01:35:05.300 But I also think there's a lot of people without a ton of money who look at their life.
01:35:09.660 Like, I know a lot of, I have a lot of friends who don't have a lot of money.
01:35:12.540 And what I see in them a lot of times is, yeah, sometimes they struggle at work.
01:35:16.700 Sometimes it's really frustrating.
01:35:17.860 They're frustrated by things that government does.
01:35:19.400 They complain about them.
01:35:20.420 But in the real world, what they do with that is they love their kids.
01:35:25.100 They love their family.
01:35:26.480 They find time at church.
01:35:28.080 They find enjoyment of life and find a much brighter life than the painting he's presenting.
01:35:34.880 I have never, you got to remember, you're starting from a place of depression and alcoholism
01:35:41.260 with him.
01:35:42.000 Okay.
01:35:42.220 Right.
01:35:42.500 That's what I mean.
01:35:43.040 When he says people like me, that's who he is.
01:35:45.520 Right.
01:35:45.760 And he's telling his story.
01:35:47.200 And you can tell it's his story.
01:35:49.020 You can hear it in his voice.
01:35:49.680 But there are people just like you that feel that way.
01:35:52.600 Oh, yeah.
01:35:53.500 So.
01:35:54.080 Rich or poor.
01:35:54.620 Yeah.
01:35:54.900 Rich or poor.
01:35:55.400 It doesn't matter.
01:35:56.320 Okay.
01:35:56.580 Next.
01:35:57.400 Living in the new world.
01:36:00.300 Living in the new world.
01:36:01.800 With an old soul.
01:36:03.720 That's a great line.
01:36:04.100 That is the great.
01:36:04.940 That's the best.
01:36:05.680 Rich man.
01:36:06.600 North of Richmond.
01:36:07.940 Lord knows it all.
01:36:09.660 Just want to have total control.
01:36:12.700 True.
01:36:13.120 Now we're getting into the politics of it.
01:36:14.420 And I'm, you know, of course, 100% agree on this.
01:36:16.860 Yeah.
01:36:17.160 And Bud Light screwed us, too.
01:36:18.920 I don't know what you think.
01:36:20.960 Well, I know what you do.
01:36:22.940 And they don't think you know.
01:36:25.100 But I know that you do.
01:36:27.040 Because your dollar ain't s***.
01:36:28.840 And it's taxed to no end.
01:36:30.560 Oh, amen.
01:36:30.880 Calls the rich man.
01:36:32.840 Calls the rich man.
01:36:34.520 It's just also a really good song.
01:36:36.440 It's great.
01:36:36.780 I mean, forget all the, you can go and read into the song and overanalyze it.
01:36:40.820 It's just a great song.
01:36:41.900 It is.
01:36:42.320 And it just, you know, he's really good, too.
01:36:45.380 He's really talented.
01:36:46.180 How do these guys get undiscovered like this?
01:36:47.760 You are probably too old to remember Johnny Paycheck when he did, take this job and shove it.
01:36:55.020 I mean, I know the song.
01:36:56.040 Yeah.
01:36:56.220 It, in some way, that felt commercial.
01:37:01.120 But I remember at the time feeling like, yeah, yes.
01:37:06.400 You know what I mean?
01:37:07.320 And so it was relatable to the common worker.
01:37:09.800 But it didn't have the darkness that this one has.
01:37:14.720 It didn't have the gravitas of, no, everything's on fire.
01:37:19.160 You know what I mean?
01:37:20.060 Mm-hmm.
01:37:20.720 Go ahead.
01:37:21.120 You disagree with any of these chords, Stu?
01:37:27.580 The third chord there is disgusting to me.
01:37:29.400 Wish politicians would look out for miners, and not just miners on an island somewhere.
01:37:35.840 Stop.
01:37:37.120 I just would like to celebrate that line.
01:37:39.080 It's a funny line.
01:37:39.880 It is a great line.
01:37:40.980 But it's, you know, it's funny and horribly tragic as well.
01:37:45.960 No, it's true.
01:37:47.100 It's true.
01:37:48.100 When you look at what's happening in Latin America with The Sound of Freedom, that thing
01:37:55.480 is, that is number one in Latin America for weeks now.
01:38:01.580 It is decimating every other movie.
01:38:04.640 Incredible story, that is.
01:38:06.000 And the politicians are actually going to show up.
01:38:09.680 You know the politician in Ecuador that the CIA in America apparently didn't like that
01:38:14.620 was, oh, shot to death recently.
01:38:17.460 He was shot to death going to the premiere of Sound of Freedom, because he said he was
01:38:21.920 going to clean it up.
01:38:22.840 Yeah.
01:38:23.200 But the president of that country was going to go there as well.
01:38:28.400 I mean, the politicians and in all other countries, this is making such an impact.
01:38:34.200 It's changing laws.
01:38:38.200 Think of that.
01:38:39.260 This movie has made an impact in America, but we have become so divided.
01:38:47.200 This, I said to Tim Ballard when he first told me this idea, I said, Tim, you may actually
01:38:53.820 be the guy who is remembered as saving the country.
01:38:57.720 And he said, what?
01:38:59.220 No.
01:38:59.920 And I said, no, hear me out.
01:39:01.220 Who disagrees with pedophilia is bad?
01:39:06.800 Right.
01:39:07.420 Enambla.
01:39:07.980 Yeah.
01:39:08.240 That's about it.
01:39:08.860 Who disagrees with we should stop the sex slave trade?
01:39:13.640 Very few.
01:39:14.220 I thought it was very few.
01:39:15.180 I thought it was very few too.
01:39:16.440 Until this started.
01:39:17.080 Correct.
01:39:17.300 You know, now I find that the boilerplate left wing position is to oppose people who
01:39:22.640 don't like child trafficking.
01:39:24.260 Right.
01:39:24.820 I don't know when that started.
01:39:26.180 It's bizarre.
01:39:27.080 Very bizarre.
01:39:28.000 Very bizarre.
01:39:28.880 And it's no longer the position.
01:39:31.480 So if we can't agree on that.
01:39:33.700 Yeah.
01:39:34.560 What do you agree on?
01:39:37.840 More in just a second.
01:39:40.980 We are the people fighting to make it a woman's right to live.
01:39:47.300 A child's right to live.
01:39:50.840 Others are fighting for a woman's right to end the life of a baby.
01:39:55.040 Where do you stand?
01:39:56.820 There is in this crisis, every man and woman are out on the field.
01:40:03.000 And by staying in the sidelines, you are on the field.
01:40:07.240 You're just on the wrong side.
01:40:10.120 Preborn's network of clinics offer love and life to ensure a baby's life and well-being
01:40:15.380 and the well-being of mom as well.
01:40:18.260 This is a ministry of compassion.
01:40:20.820 When a woman has an unwanted pregnancy, she usually wants to make the right choice.
01:40:24.920 But the pressures of life are real.
01:40:27.180 People around her often telling her baby's just a clump of cells and it's nothing but
01:40:31.360 trouble.
01:40:31.800 You don't want to do that.
01:40:32.820 Preborn shines a light into that darkness, offering hope and love.
01:40:38.080 And they start with free ultrasounds and up to two years of assistance for both the mother
01:40:42.760 and the baby.
01:40:44.340 All for free.
01:40:46.220 All because of you.
01:40:48.320 This year, you have saved 28,000 babies.
01:40:52.940 28,000 babies.
01:40:54.920 Your tax-deductible donation of any size will help so much.
01:41:00.800 An ultrasound to make it free is $28.
01:41:03.520 If you want to save babies in a big way, your tax-deductible donation of 5,000 will sponsor
01:41:08.620 the entire network for a whole day, 24 hours, rescuing 200 babies.
01:41:14.960 Dial pound 250 and give what you can.
01:41:17.820 The widow's mite is worth just as much as that big check.
01:41:21.120 Pound 250, keyword baby, or go to preborn.com slash beck.
01:41:26.280 That's preborn.com slash beck, sponsored by Preborn.
01:41:29.880 10 seconds, station ID.
01:41:38.880 When we last left Oliver Anthony, he was opining on child slavery and sex slaves and pedophiles.
01:41:48.800 Here's where he goes next.
01:41:50.140 Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothing to eat, and the old beast milking welfare.
01:41:58.080 Stop.
01:41:59.360 This is what gives this song, as the media says, oh, it's just Ronald Reagan rehash.
01:42:05.320 Yeah.
01:42:06.060 No, it's really not.
01:42:08.000 Have you been to a major city lately?
01:42:10.460 It is horrific what is happening to our country in towns, small and big, tent cities.
01:42:21.260 This is, it's obscene what is happening in America.
01:42:25.780 Obscene.
01:42:26.340 And why is it worse in big cities that are run by the left?
01:42:31.620 Because they're handing stuff out.
01:42:33.460 They're handing you free drugs.
01:42:35.620 They're handing you free needles.
01:42:38.500 They're letting you poop in the street.
01:42:41.400 I don't know about you, but I married above me.
01:42:45.140 Yeah.
01:42:45.660 And I mean this sincerely.
01:42:47.080 Oh, so do I.
01:42:47.680 Yeah.
01:42:48.020 I married above me for a reason.
01:42:51.780 She saw in me the man I hoped to be.
01:42:56.160 And made me want to be that man that she saw me as.
01:43:03.320 That's how people get better.
01:43:07.480 Not by saying, oh, you know what?
01:43:09.060 Go ahead.
01:43:09.400 Poop in the street.
01:43:11.000 Next.
01:43:11.480 Well, God, if you're five foot three and you're 300 pounds, taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds.
01:43:20.360 Young men are putting themselves six feet in the ground because all this damn country does.
01:43:26.320 Is keep on kicking them down.
01:43:30.380 I mean, I fully, I love the fudge rounds.
01:43:33.200 First of all, it makes me want to eat fudge rounds.
01:43:35.060 Yeah, it does.
01:43:35.500 It really does.
01:43:36.560 But, and so I 100% agree with that.
01:43:39.120 I mean, is, would you summarize this country though as a place that all it does is kick people and keep them down?
01:43:47.940 I don't see this country that way.
01:43:49.800 Oh, I don't see the country.
01:43:50.680 I do see there are elements of it moving in that direction.
01:43:53.300 He's not talking.
01:43:54.000 He's not talking.
01:43:54.820 Remember the phrase.
01:43:56.360 It's the rich men north of Richmond.
01:43:59.300 Yeah.
01:43:59.520 They're the ones kicking you down and damn right they are.
01:44:02.860 They're kicking you down every step of the way.
01:44:05.280 You want to start a small business?
01:44:07.000 Here, file these applications.
01:44:08.940 We'll be out to inspect 400 different times.
01:44:12.220 Oh, you have to do this.
01:44:13.240 You have to do that.
01:44:14.040 Oh, you have to do this.
01:44:14.940 Everything they do is to discourage you.
01:44:18.720 Kick people down.
01:44:19.920 How, what is the solution of the Fed?
01:44:22.100 Solution to stop inflation so you can not pay so much at the grocery store.
01:44:28.500 What is the solution?
01:44:30.380 This is something everyone has to understand.
01:44:32.580 They have to raise the interest rates to stop you from getting a mortgage.
01:44:42.100 Okay.
01:44:43.240 Stop you from borrowing money.
01:44:45.600 If you need to borrow money, it's going to cost you more.
01:44:49.820 So, they're slapping your hand.
01:44:51.920 What did they just say last week?
01:44:54.260 Don't expect the rise of interest rates to stop anytime soon because employment is too good.
01:45:01.680 They need you unemployed and broke so you stop spending money, which is making groceries go up and gas grow up.
01:45:13.020 Meanwhile, the rich men in north of Richmond are spending money hand over fist on what?
01:45:22.840 Corruption in Ukraine?
01:45:24.700 $2,200 checks to illegals that come across our border?
01:45:35.020 Yeah, I do feel like they're kicking us down.
01:45:37.540 More in just a second, including that question that's crucial that I just changed my mind on.
01:45:45.100 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:45:46.980 Jeffrey wrote in about his experience with Relief Factor.
01:45:49.420 He said, I really love Relief Factor.
01:45:51.400 It helps me with my 66-year-old body.
01:45:53.660 I've been standing, walking, bending, working with my hands my whole life.
01:45:58.400 Now, I'm retired, but I'm still very active.
01:46:01.220 I take three packs a day if I have a lot of activity.
01:46:04.220 Me too, brother.
01:46:05.160 Usually, only one or two packs on the weekends, and it helps me so much.
01:46:09.120 Thank you for making such a great product.
01:46:11.360 Jeffrey, thank you for writing in.
01:46:12.780 Thank you for giving Relief Factor a try.
01:46:14.820 And thank you for not actually retiring.
01:46:17.560 You know, I'm never going to retire.
01:46:19.980 I may not do this, but I'm never going to retire.
01:46:22.580 Don't retire.
01:46:23.240 You end up dying.
01:46:25.160 Jeffrey, hopefully yours is not the last letter that I will receive.
01:46:29.940 I know it's not.
01:46:31.380 We've had thousands of people order it, and about 70% of them go on to order more month after month

01:47:30.660 We're going to start with Sarah Gonzalez, Stu, Dave Landau, Steve Dace.
01:47:38.620 I'll be there as well tomorrow evening to provide live coverage.
01:47:42.660 We're doing a pre-show, so you can get that right before the debate and then post-debate analysis.
01:47:52.080 Of course, now Fox won't let anybody take any sound of it or anything, so we're just going to be online.
01:47:58.260 We're going to be, during the debate, we'll be using the BlazeTV chat.
01:48:05.360 So join us tomorrow for BlazeTV's coverage of the debate.
01:48:10.260 So we've been talking about this song and what it means, and I think Stu and I are at the same place,
01:48:18.480 that there are a lot of people that are feeling this way, and they are blaming the government for things.
01:48:25.940 But the government can make you neither happy nor sad.
01:48:30.060 You know, I hate to, you know, man's search for meaning, but that is true.
01:48:36.980 And as a recovering alcoholic, I know it to be true.
01:48:40.800 You think that it's all of these other problems that are getting in your way, and so you drink more,
01:48:46.180 and then it's these other problems, and you drink more, and it's none of those things.
01:48:51.340 It's that you have a, what some would describe as a God-shaped hole in you,
01:48:55.940 and more and more people have this hole in them that they try to fill with fame or fortune or, you know, likes,
01:49:05.840 follows all of this crap that our kids, the world is empty and meaningless because we don't have something bigger than ourselves.
01:49:18.820 That's why the left is using climate change and everything else.
01:49:23.640 But you'll see all these people who have grown out of that climate change era of their life.
01:49:29.920 They're all finding it empty in the end because it is.
01:49:34.480 It is.
01:49:35.980 You have to have something bigger than yourself, and everything we do now is about politics, fame, or fortune.
01:49:46.400 And that's not the country.
01:49:48.380 That's us.
01:49:50.060 That's not the politicians.
01:49:52.200 That's us.
01:49:53.280 The politicians aren't over turning my phone on and pressing the, you know, Instagram or TikTok app in my hand.
01:50:03.920 We do.
01:50:05.160 We do.
01:50:06.620 Yeah, and it just feels like we're kind of on a search for something.
01:50:10.660 Man's search for meaning.
01:50:11.840 Yeah.
01:50:12.100 I mean, we really are.
01:50:13.480 That's what's really happening.
01:50:15.340 I have a friend I've been talking to lately.
01:50:16.980 He's said, you know, I think people are searching for purpose.
01:50:20.740 Yeah.
01:50:21.060 That's true.
01:50:21.800 Yeah.
01:50:22.080 And I don't think, we don't know who to trust and where to find that larger meaning these days.
01:50:27.740 Did you see that poll out from who did it about CBS, I think?
01:50:32.820 CBS?
01:50:33.420 Yeah.
01:50:33.680 This is, we were talking about this earlier, and Stu asked me a question on this.
01:50:38.740 So let's just play this back here on what the poll said.
01:50:42.560 The poll was, who do you trust to tell you the truth?
01:50:46.460 Now think about that.
01:50:47.700 Who do you trust to tell the truth?
01:50:50.400 Yeah.
01:50:50.640 Now is this, were these answers prompted?
01:50:54.860 That's a good question.
01:50:56.460 I didn't try, I think it was, I think there were options.
01:50:59.860 A list.
01:51:00.300 Yeah, options.
01:51:00.740 So who do you trust?
01:51:01.940 And they gave a few options.
01:51:06.500 And this was of Trump voters.
01:51:08.500 And they asked, who do you trust?
01:51:11.120 And they said, number one was Donald Trump, 71%.
01:51:14.080 The other options though, weren't like Vivek Ramaswamy.
01:51:17.360 Yeah.
01:51:17.800 The other options were friends and family, which was second at 63%.
01:51:23.400 Except if you think of your friends and family, at least I do.
01:51:27.080 I think of all my friends and family.
01:51:29.920 Ones that I don't believe have it down.
01:51:33.480 They are not paying attention.
01:51:34.780 Sure.
01:51:35.200 I mean, yeah.
01:51:35.740 Then you have conservative media figures at 56%.
01:51:39.280 And religious leaders at 42%.
01:51:43.620 Wow.
01:51:44.500 And like, take, everyone gets so focused and the media did this constantly.
01:51:48.780 Oh, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
01:51:50.060 Take Trump out of this for a second.
01:51:51.200 Put any politician in that position.
01:51:52.840 Like, it's upside down if the person you think is going to tell you the truth is a politician.
01:52:01.860 Right?
01:52:02.060 Or any person in that position.
01:52:05.140 If it's, you know, religious leaders, for example, you should be near the top of that list.
01:52:11.080 Or why are you bothering blowing up your Sundays and not watching more NFL football if you don't trust your own religious leaders?
01:52:19.400 Right?
01:52:20.100 There's no reason to go to church.
01:52:21.520 Maybe you should find a different church.
01:52:23.380 Friends, you could choose them.
01:52:25.300 Maybe find ones that you actually like and trust.
01:52:28.560 Because, you know, look, any politician should not be in the role of ultimate trust.
01:52:32.960 And that's certainly the reverse of where we were as a country at one point.
01:52:36.880 Okay.
01:52:37.100 He has earned his trust in a very strange way.
01:52:41.900 In a way I've never seen anybody earn it before.
01:52:45.680 He doesn't always tell the truth.
01:52:47.720 And he knows that.
01:52:48.620 I mean, it's not like he's, he's not.
01:52:52.100 He is a storyteller.
01:52:54.560 And he, it's like when people said, don't take him literally, take him seriously.
01:53:01.080 So when he said, let's say, for instance, for instance, that you'll never convince me he did not believe he lost that election.
01:53:10.620 He believes he won.
01:53:12.360 He won.
01:53:12.800 No way, shape or form.
01:53:14.560 At no time has that even crossed his mind that he lost that or lost it fair and square.
01:53:22.660 So when he was on the phone call, you can look at it many different ways.
01:53:27.000 He's on the phone call in Georgia.
01:53:28.960 And he's like, look, we have 10,000 here.
01:53:32.500 We have 25,000 votes that I think are missing here.
01:53:35.520 We have 50,000.
01:53:37.300 All you have to do is find 11 and it changes everything.
01:53:41.500 And that is the context of the call.
01:53:42.940 Correct.
01:53:43.260 He's not saying go make up 11,000.
01:53:45.980 And he's saying all you have, you don't have to do all 150,000 or whatever number he's presenting.
01:53:51.440 And I don't think he knew the truth that there were 150.
01:53:58.140 It's what he had been informed on and suspected, et cetera, et cetera.
01:54:04.060 And so he was throwing that out.
01:54:06.120 You have to take him for what is he saying?
01:54:08.980 He's saying the votes are not all in.
01:54:13.700 All of those votes that should have been counted or all of those votes that shouldn't have been counted.
01:54:20.220 There's a problem here.
01:54:22.660 So go find what the truth is.
01:54:25.400 That's what he's saying.
01:54:26.920 And I think like there's a million examples of this, but like he obviously isn't always telling the truth.
01:54:33.040 And you can know that because he says the exact opposite things for a very specific reason.
01:54:38.860 For example, I'm going to annihilate North Korea and Kim Jong-un.
01:54:45.100 Missiles are about to fire.
01:54:46.520 And then a week later, Kim Jong-un is a great friend.
01:54:49.140 We know those two things aren't true at the same time.
01:54:52.700 But they're not lies.
01:54:53.860 They're negotiations.
01:54:54.780 It's a negotiation tactic.
01:54:56.280 Like he's intentionally saying what he thinks will bring him to the next best option down the road.
01:55:03.660 Whatever he thinks will advance his particular situation he's thinking at that moment because he's a negotiator, right?
01:55:09.620 He talks about this in his book.
01:55:11.060 Here's how he gained his credibility.
01:55:13.460 And I've never seen anybody gain it this way before.
01:55:15.860 He gained it because he did some really big things when he was president.
01:55:20.440 Really big.
01:55:21.180 Sure.
01:55:21.500 That I'm not sure any other Republican would have done.
01:55:24.900 Jerusalem comes up.
01:55:26.040 Yeah.
01:55:26.400 To the top of the mind.
01:55:27.240 He did a lot of those things.
01:55:28.420 So he gained credibility on like, hey, you did that.
01:55:31.160 You did that.
01:55:32.560 Now, where's the rest of this when you would say how many people?
01:55:36.640 What is it?
01:55:37.100 70?
01:55:37.580 71%.
01:55:38.260 71%.
01:55:39.260 Wow, that's high.
01:55:40.340 But they're Trump supporters.
01:55:41.580 Yep.
01:55:41.800 Who do you trust?
01:55:43.200 The reason why I think people trust him is because he's earned it by his enemies.
01:55:51.240 Yeah.
01:55:51.720 They feel as though he is.
01:55:54.540 The right people hate him.
01:55:55.300 The right people hate him.
01:55:56.520 Not just hate him.
01:55:58.140 They've done everything they can to destroy him.
01:56:02.140 There's only two reasons you would keep fighting at this point.
01:56:07.000 Either you believe it in your soul.
01:56:12.080 Or you just can't let go.
01:56:14.580 And I think both of those are true.
01:56:17.320 Both of those are true with Donald Trump.
01:56:19.640 You don't have anything to gain here.
01:56:22.220 What do you have to gain?
01:56:23.380 Yeah, because he probably isn't charged with all these crimes if he's not running.
01:56:26.140 I mean, I think if he would have said I'm out, I'm done.
01:56:29.580 They wouldn't have bothered.
01:56:31.420 I mean, they want those two years almost giving him an option.
01:56:34.100 Hey, don't run.
01:56:35.020 And maybe this won't happen.
01:56:36.200 So here's the important thing.
01:56:37.500 I have always said that I really just didn't believe.
01:56:41.900 I thought that putting Donald Trump in jail is the icing on the cake.
01:56:47.040 OK, they need to bring Donald Trump down to Biden's corruption level.
01:56:53.320 OK, so when you have Biden being charged with all these things and you have his main competitor not charged with anything, it's pretty easy.
01:57:02.040 Pretty easy to see good guy, bad guy.
01:57:04.180 But if they flood the system with this guy's a criminal, needs to go to jail.
01:57:09.200 Now you've brought Donald Trump or the opposing guy down to the same level where they're leveling the same charges back and forth.
01:57:17.780 That's what they're doing.
01:57:18.820 And I've never really thought I thought it was just icing on the cake if he actually does go to jail until, Stu, we were talking about this poll and you said what?
01:57:31.140 Yeah, I was talking about how, OK, 71 percent of people may trust him more than their friends and family and their religious leaders.
01:57:38.220 How do you beat a guy like that?
01:57:39.640 Like you can beat up on DeSantis's campaign and say it hasn't been perfect.
01:57:42.780 But like, is someone like that beatable at all?
01:57:46.480 No.
01:57:46.840 Right.
01:57:47.160 Really difficult to beat someone who's trusted like that.
01:57:50.780 And then I said, and what happens to America when they put that guy who's trusted at that level in prison?
01:58:01.620 And that's the question that made me change my mind.
01:58:07.360 I know exactly what happens when you put a guy like that in prison.
01:58:13.220 You have chaos.
01:58:16.240 And chaos is all they care about.
01:58:20.600 Simply chaos.
01:58:22.440 Let's end this podcast where we started this podcast.
01:58:26.100 I told you that there's new COVID, new COVID vaccines on the way.
01:58:31.740 They're talking about maybe we should lock down schools.
01:58:34.140 There's a school in Atlanta that's starting to do it.
01:58:36.240 Yada, yada, yada, yada.
01:58:38.100 And I've heard all of this and you've heard all of this.
01:58:40.900 But the one thing I hadn't heard was the explanation of the name of this particular line of COVID.
01:58:54.100 Was it Eris?
01:58:55.940 Which is from mythology, the god of goddess.
01:59:01.480 So it is Eris, the goddess of, hang on just a second, I wrote it down, strife, discord, and chaos.
01:59:15.060 What did I say 20 years ago?
01:59:20.040 When we enter these times, it's always going to be about chaos.
01:59:26.440 Chaos will be the operative word.
01:59:29.660 Everything will be about chaos.
01:59:31.620 They name this COVID strain after the god of chaos?
01:59:43.920 They want to put him in jail?
01:59:45.840 You're damn right they do.
01:59:47.380 Why?
01:59:48.060 Because it will cause chaos.
01:59:51.320 Chaos, the author of all lies and author of all chaos, we know who that is.
02:00:03.500 Take your stuff and get as far away from chaos as you possibly can.
02:00:11.400 Then stand.
02:00:14.040 Because it will grow and it will sweep everywhere unless we stand and stand together.
02:00:23.240 Ever get the feeling that the other shoe is about to drop?
02:00:26.020 Like something bad is going to happen?
02:00:27.760 You probably better be ready for it?
02:00:30.580 Like chaos is coming?
02:00:32.340 Let me tell you about my Patriot Supply.
02:00:35.740 My Patriot Supply is a place that I go.

02:00:46.820 And it's an unbelievable place.

02:01:39.800 The Glenn Back Program.
02:01:41.520 Welcome to the Glenn Back Program.
02:02:01.580 Tim Dillon was on Joe Rogan.
02:02:04.140 And he was talking about the 2024 presidential election.
02:02:08.500 And he does not think that Joe Biden is going to run.
02:02:12.920 So he was talking about options with Joe Rogan.
02:02:15.360 And here's what happened.
02:02:16.600 Newsom is coming up and trying to run.
02:02:20.460 There are other people that are circling.
02:02:23.360 I don't think he runs again.
02:02:26.220 I can't see it.
02:02:27.400 I don't see it.
02:02:28.220 How do you think they get Kamala Harris to step down?
02:02:30.560 Because she's rightfully, if he steps down, you know, until some.
02:02:35.360 Kamala Harris cannot say a sentence.
02:02:37.540 It's almost, she's almost worse than him.
02:02:39.600 She talks in like gypsy curses.
02:02:42.640 When they ask her something, she'll be like,
02:02:45.540 my grandma said that a hive of bees is still bees if you bury it.
02:02:49.920 Gypsy curses.
02:02:50.840 That's how she speaks.
02:02:52.100 The woman has no idea what's going on.
02:02:55.560 This is so true.
02:02:56.920 Gypsy curses.
02:02:57.960 Oh, she is bizarre.
02:03:01.500 What a bizarre, what a bizarre group of people we have at the top right now.
02:03:05.960 I mean, it's just a strange group of people.
02:03:09.200 I mean, you think about how many people in our, that are leaders right now are incapable
02:03:16.180 of communicating basic, basic English language.
02:03:21.140 Like, I mean, not because, not because they, not because they haven't learned it.
02:03:27.480 Right.
02:03:27.740 They've learned it.
02:03:28.840 They just can't remember it anymore.
02:03:30.740 Yeah.
02:03:31.160 I mean, Kamala Harris is, it's just constant gibberish.
02:03:33.840 You have Joe Biden.
02:03:35.240 She's just dumb.
02:03:36.420 I mean, she's just dumb.
02:03:38.300 She's dumb.
02:03:38.680 Joe Biden's not stupid.
02:03:39.960 He's just senile.
02:03:40.800 He's lost and senile.
02:03:42.180 John Fetterman.
02:03:43.360 He's unfortunate.
02:03:44.940 Stroke.
02:03:45.620 Dianne Feinstein.
02:03:46.780 I mean, good God, it's terribly tragic to watch her.
02:03:49.440 Mitch McConnell.
02:03:50.060 I mean, Mitch McConnell, in the middle of a sentence, just stopped for like a minute.
02:03:54.900 When have we started accepting that?
02:03:57.200 But out of all of those, out of all of those, most of those people can't remember.
02:04:02.460 You know what I mean?
02:04:03.140 That they look like buffoons.
02:04:04.680 Unfortunately, I think John Fetterman does.
02:04:07.580 He knows he's not.
02:04:09.140 I don't think Kamala has a, she's just like, she's just happy.
02:04:13.120 She's like, I'm dumb.
02:04:15.540 I'm dumb.
02:04:16.300 And I like that.
02:04:17.780 I like buses.
02:04:18.900 I like big yellow buses.
02:04:20.680 I like big yellow buses.
02:04:20.780 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
