00:00:30.000 Let me talk to you about rough greens.

00:00:31.860 Rough greens is something that I feed my best friend.

00:00:36.140 Luckily, I don't really have any best friends as people.

00:00:39.020 Otherwise, they would really not want to come over for dinner.

00:00:41.820 But rough greens is what I feed Uno.

00:00:45.080 And actually, it's not what I feed him.

00:00:46.680 I feed him kibble, but I put the rough greens on top of it.

00:00:49.620 It's a supplement.

00:00:50.420 And it's really good that every dog that I know of, everybody at the building puts rough greens on their dog's food.

00:01:01.060 Every dog I know loves it.

00:01:03.040 And they eat their food, which was a big problem for Uno at first.

00:01:08.440 He just wouldn't eat anything.

00:01:10.320 We put this on it.

00:01:11.240 He loves his food.

00:01:12.240 And it's good for him.

00:01:13.820 So try rough greens.

00:01:15.180 They're going to send you a free trial bag just to make sure your dog likes it as much as Uno does.

00:01:19.840 But get this free bag.

00:01:22.620 All you pay for is shipping at roughgreens.

00:01:54.460 We've got no room to compromise.

00:02:11.660 We've got to stay together if we're going to survive.

00:02:19.800 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:02:44.020 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:49.800 Hello, America.

00:02:52.880 There's a lot going on tonight on YouTube.

00:02:57.100 We replay the show that I did last night on Blaze TV.

00:03:01.540 It's all about illegals voting. 0.99

00:03:05.940 And, of course, that's a disinformation campaign from the right.

00:03:09.820 There's nothing to see there.

00:03:10.940 According to the New York Times, we're making a big deal out of nothing.

00:03:15.000 Really?

00:03:15.740 We begin there in 60 seconds.

00:03:17.880 Stand by.

00:03:18.340 First, let me tell you about SimpliSafe.

00:03:21.200 Your home is your sanctuary.

00:03:26.760 all the dangers of the outside world.

00:03:29.340 Unfortunately, there are people who have no problem taking that safety away.

00:03:32.940 People who will break into your home.

00:03:34.500 And that is a problem that the people over at SimpliSafe find unacceptable.

00:03:39.720 Look, there is so much crime going on right now in America, and it is only going to get worse.

00:03:45.800 And the wait time for 911 is only going to get worse.

00:04:28.320 Just visit SimpliSafe.com slash Beck.

00:04:31.900 That's SimpliSafe.com slash Beck.

00:04:34.680 There is no safe like SimpliSafe.

00:04:39.600 There is a lot to talk about today.

00:04:44.020 I want to actually start before we get into the show that we did last night and now the New York Times response, which is crazy.

00:04:51.900 There was a story yesterday that Merrick Garland, who is so trustworthy, came out and talked about an indictment that tenant media was involved in some sort of Russian something or other.

00:05:13.260 And they had an anonymous donor.

00:05:16.540 I can't figure this story out.

00:05:18.560 I'm not going to get into it and none of the details because I don't know what the details are.

00:05:25.100 Right now, I know there is an indictment.

00:05:27.940 But other than that, I can't figure out what the Russians would have been doing, how Russia was going to benefit from this.

00:05:38.600 However, I'm going to leave this alone for the facts and just talk to you about this.

00:05:45.040 I have been telling you for how many years that there are deep pockets in Russia and there are people that are trying to go after conservatives.

00:06:00.420 And they are in our churches.

00:06:04.040 You hear the agents of chaos.

00:06:06.980 Voices that you're like, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:06:09.100 What are they saying?

00:06:12.400 Sometimes those are voices of chaos.

00:06:14.500 Maybe those are sometimes just misguided people.

00:06:17.060 I don't know.

00:06:18.080 But, please, everyone in the media, this is why we said you cannot go after TikTok.

00:06:30.120 You go after TikTok, they'll find another reason why you're involved some way or another with a foreign country and they'll shut you down.

00:06:39.180 This is the way McCarthyism begins.

00:06:44.140 This is the way you begin to smear people for connections that are dubious.

00:06:53.140 Maybe some of them are true.

00:06:54.860 Maybe not.

00:06:56.060 I have no idea.

00:06:57.260 All I want to say to you is, I have been aware of this threat for years and I have been warning everyone in the media.

00:07:13.560 I have been warning you.

00:07:17.780 I don't know what to do.

00:07:20.020 My first instinct on this is isolate yourself.

00:07:27.260 I can't answer for other people.

00:07:29.840 I can only answer for me.

00:07:33.500 And, you know, I have a show with Tucker Carlson.

00:07:38.020 He invited me to be on his stage show.

00:07:41.320 He's doing Russell Brand and Megyn Kelly.

00:07:44.700 And I'm the guest on his stage show this Saturday at, I think it's at the Delta Center.

00:07:52.460 You can get tickets at TuckerCarlson.com.

00:07:54.700 But this may be the last time I share the stage with anyone.

00:07:59.600 I don't know.

00:08:01.520 Because I don't know.

00:08:05.460 I mean, we're in this place where I, we just played this last night.

00:08:10.080 In 2019, I said, warning, there is going to come a time where there is a trust implosion, where you won't know who to trust and no one will trust anyone or anything.

00:08:24.040 What happens after that is street violence becomes out of hand.

00:08:31.740 There probably will be a war at the same time.

00:08:35.980 And that's when everything shuts down.

00:08:38.400 So we're at the last play here.

00:08:40.980 And we just have to be very, very, very careful.

00:08:48.300 May I say something that just popped into my mind and I don't think it's just me.

00:08:55.240 Anyone who is pushing for chaos or violence is on the wrong side.

00:09:14.100 Anyone who is pushing fear that you should be afraid.

00:09:28.240 And I get accused of this all the time.

00:09:30.060 He's just pushing fear.

00:09:31.700 No, I'm really not.

00:09:33.020 Because I try to follow it with, fear not.

00:09:39.340 Fear not.

00:09:40.560 God is in charge.

00:09:41.840 Just do the right thing.

00:09:44.340 Just stand where you're supposed to stand.

00:09:48.340 And I've told you this for 20 years now.

00:09:51.200 There's going to come a time when you need the spirit to be constantly with you.

00:09:55.620 Or you will not know where to stand.

00:09:58.160 You will not know where to turn.

00:10:00.200 You won't have discernment.

00:10:03.200 And you will be lost if you don't have that discernment.

00:10:08.220 Please, pray for me.

00:10:12.700 Pray for my staff.

00:10:14.360 And I will pray for you.

00:10:17.600 We really, we have to be very aware.

00:10:24.000 And spit yourself out of the system as much as you can.

00:10:30.200 Okay.

00:10:33.880 By the way, I'm with Tucker Carlson at the Delta Center this Saturday.

00:10:37.860 The next weekend, I'm joining Donald Trump for a rally and a fundraiser.

00:10:43.200 And then the weekend after that is September 20th and 21st.

00:10:47.620 It's a Friday and Saturday.

00:10:49.420 And it is the American Narratives in Fine Art Show.

00:10:54.460 This is something that I have sponsored and put together.

00:10:57.460 And there are 30 of some of the best artists in America that I brought to the museum.

00:11:05.480 They saw the different artifacts in the museum.

00:11:08.540 I said, find something that touches you, that you just feel compelled to tell that story.

00:11:14.360 And tell that story in painting.

00:11:19.640 And so they are.

00:11:20.980 We're trying to make sure that we affect the culture, not only on the bottom end, but on the top end.

00:11:28.880 And, you know, while fine art is thought of as being top end, this stuff trickles down.

00:11:35.140 And these things should be posters and prints and everything else that you can have in your home.

00:11:42.340 You know, I always walk into people's houses.

00:11:46.020 If they have the George Washington kneeling in prayer, the prayer at Valley Forge, I always am like, okay, they get it.

00:11:55.800 They're safe.

00:11:56.220 This is a safe house.

00:11:57.120 This is a safe house.

00:11:59.100 But these things help us teach our children the true history.

00:12:03.820 And so that weekend on September 20th and 21st, we're having an open house at the studios.

00:12:12.340 You can get tickets for Friday, I believe.

00:12:15.780 That's a preview party.

00:12:17.400 And then Saturday, it's open to the public in the morning and the afternoon.

00:12:21.760 And then in the evening, there is a dinner you can buy tickets for, et cetera, et cetera.

00:12:26.580 But just find all of this information at glennbeck.com, AmericanNarrativesInFineArt.com, as well as where you get your tickets.

00:12:36.520 But I will see you in, wow, it's three weeks.

00:12:40.780 September 20th and 21st in Dallas at the Mercury Studios.

00:12:48.320 Okay.

00:12:49.100 Last night on the TV show, I talked to you about illegal immigration and illegal voting.

00:12:59.800 Now, Stu has a story that just came out from the New York Times that says, people like me and Donald Trump and anybody who's concerned about the vote, we're overstating the problem.

00:13:16.580 You want to give me the highlights of this, Stu?

00:13:18.300 Sure, Glenn, the title is Republican Seize on False Theories About Immigrant Voting.

00:13:25.100 False theories.

00:13:25.860 And it starts talking about a group, there's multiple groups discussed in the article, but it says in late July, a group of Republican activists met on a Zoom call to discuss preparations for the November election.

00:13:37.540 The topic was how to keep undocumented immigrants from voting in November, a problem they claim inaccurately to be a looming threat to a fair election.

00:13:48.440 It goes on to say that there's no indication that non-citizens are voting in large numbers, which is, I think, an interesting point because it doesn't have to be in large numbers to be a threat to an election, right?

00:14:03.680 Especially a close one, but they, of course, also are admitted it happens.

00:14:09.460 I'm kind of an absolutist where I don't want anybody who shouldn't vote to vote.

00:14:15.060 I don't care what the numbers are.

00:14:16.440 Really?

00:14:16.780 But let me just go through the numbers here with this clip from last night's show.

00:14:23.260 Listen to this.

00:14:24.640 The mainstream media is in agreement that these seven states will swing the election in November.

00:14:30.540 They're Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

00:14:37.120 So let's go through each one and keep in mind what Texas just found.

00:14:42.180 Also, the fact that by election day, it will be projected that we will have 8 million migrants living in the United States.

00:14:51.680 Some say it's closer to 20 million.

00:14:53.880 In 2020, over 11,600, no-proof-of-citizenship-required federal ballots were cast in Arizona during the 2020 election.

00:15:07.020 Arizona currently has 273,000 illegals living in the state that we know of.

00:15:14.160 Joe Biden won Arizona in 2020 by 10,457 votes.

00:15:20.420 Looks kind of significant in Arizona.

00:15:23.740 But let's go to Georgia.

00:15:25.560 Stacey Abrams infamously said the blue wave would include undocumented immigrants. 0.97

00:15:33.280 That's a quote.

00:15:34.760 Georgia currently has 339,000 illegals.

00:15:39.540 Biden won Georgia in 2020 by 12,000 votes.

00:15:44.700 Michigan has nine.

00:15:46.060 Tell me how this is not significant.

00:15:50.860 I mean, there were 11,000 illegals voting in Arizona.

00:15:56.980 Donald Trump lost by 10,000.

00:16:01.060 We also know that illegals almost always break for the Democrats.

00:16:06.180 Almost always.

00:16:07.200 Is that not significant?

00:16:12.880 If Donald Trump would have won Arizona, he would have won.

00:16:16.920 Wouldn't he have still?

00:16:19.620 Is it one state or two states?

00:16:21.640 No, he would have needed more than that.

00:16:22.700 Yeah, he would have needed more than that.

00:16:24.560 But there's a lot of closed states, though.

00:16:27.020 Right.

00:16:27.260 And with 339 in Georgia, and he loses by 10,000 votes, 339,000.

00:16:35.860 There's 160,000 today in Arizona.

00:16:42.400 And, you know, in 2020, there weren't that many.

00:16:46.140 And you had 11,000 people voting that shouldn't have been voting.

00:16:50.740 With 339 and Georgia being lost last time by about 11,000, I don't know.

00:16:59.900 There seems like there could be a problem.

00:17:02.480 I don't understand why the left can get away with doing things that everyone agrees on.

00:17:14.120 It's like 80% of the population, both Republican and Democrat and Independent, all agree you should have ID.

00:17:24.120 They all agree you should be a citizen if you're going to vote.

00:17:27.860 If you're not a citizen, you shouldn't vote.

00:17:30.120 We all agree on that, except for the Democratic Party and their minions in the press.

00:17:39.800 I don't know.

00:17:41.380 I think that's significant.

00:17:44.120 I think when you have an election that could be won by 10,000 votes, I think it's important to know who is actually voting.

00:17:57.340 But then again, I'm an extremist conspiracy theorist.

00:18:02.500 So what do I know?

00:18:04.260 Well, I should say I'm a conspiracy theorist until 90% of what I say comes to fruition.

00:18:13.380 And then they eventually say, oh, yeah, we've been doing that forever.

00:18:16.680 I mean, it's no big deal.

00:18:17.680 Okay.

00:18:19.140 All right.

00:18:19.600 Sure.

00:18:20.520 Here we go with Relief Factor Sleep.

00:18:22.920 Let's just take a minute here and come back to the program. 1.00

00:18:25.900 If you're tired of that stupid early bird always getting the worm before you. 1.00

00:18:33.360 No? 1.00

00:18:34.240 Yeah.

00:18:35.040 I really don't want the worms.

00:18:36.880 I really don't.

00:18:37.720 Let me ask you a question in a different way.

00:18:39.140 Do you wish that you woke up in the morning after you had a good night's sleep and you had the energy to beat the early bird to the worm?

00:18:47.740 I mean, if you wanted to.

00:18:48.660 Again, I don't want to.

00:18:49.680 But here's something that can help you sleep better.

00:18:52.560 It is something that has helped me quite a few times when I've had trouble sleeping.

00:18:56.280 It is called Z Factor.

00:18:58.200 It comes from the makers of Relief Factor.

00:19:00.480 It's a 100% drug-free way to help you fall asleep faster, sleep better, and stay asleep longer.

00:19:05.300 I just used it last night.

00:19:07.020 I started listening to a book on tape.

00:19:09.240 I don't think I heard a word.

00:19:11.080 Z Factor uses a formula of four all-natural ingredients to calm your mind, relax your body, so you can ease into sleep faster and sleep right through the night.

00:19:19.720 It works for me.

00:19:20.860 Rediscover the joy of a great night's sleep with Z Factor.

00:19:23.880 Get the best sleep you've ever had.

00:19:25.780 Try Z Factor from Relief Factor.

00:19:27.980 Save 46% on your first order.

00:19:30.480 That's relieffactor.com, relieffactor.com, or 800-4-RELIEF.

00:19:34.800 800, the number 4, RELIEF.

00:19:36.880 10 seconds.

00:19:37.460 Station ID.

00:19:48.920 Glenn, if you remember the 2020 election as a little chaotic, is that sort of your memory of it?

00:19:54.720 Kind of, yeah.

00:19:55.580 Just a tad?

00:19:56.740 Just a tad?

00:19:57.300 Let me bring you back for a moment because you've highlighted something that I had forgotten from the 2020 election.

00:20:03.260 The final electoral count in 2020 was 306 to 232 with Biden winning.

00:20:08.480 However, as you point out, Arizona switching would make a difference, but it would not be enough for Trump to actually win the election.

00:20:17.220 But there were three states that were really close in that election.

00:20:20.560 Yeah.

00:20:20.700 Under, you know, right around 20,000 votes or less.

00:20:24.660 Those three states were Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin.

00:20:28.340 So, if you were to say that those three states went the other way, Arizona, 11 electoral votes to Trump, Georgia, 16 to Trump, and Wisconsin, 10 to Trump.

00:20:40.800 The electoral count is 269 to 269.

00:20:46.080 It would have been a tie.

00:20:48.320 Can you, you think 2020 was chaotic the way it played out last time?

00:20:52.160 Can you imagine if that thing landed with razor sharp margins in three different states that went Trump's way and led to a tie that was determined in the House of Representatives? 0.98

00:21:05.040 Holy crap, that would have been insane.

00:21:07.440 Have you heard that that's why RFK did not pull his name off of the ballots in deep blue states? 0.90

00:21:18.500 Oh, yeah, he said that during his press conference, that if there was a...

00:21:22.340 Because he believes, yeah, there's a chance that there's a 269 to 269 tie, and he would be the tiebreaker.

00:21:29.280 Now, he will, the House of Representatives, I think he's in a, he's having a delusional state to think that the House of Representatives is going to select him.

00:21:38.060 But, I mean, he'd be in play, right?

00:21:40.660 He'd be in, there'd be a chance of it happening.

00:21:43.960 Well, no, if it's a tie, can't he throw his delegates?

00:21:47.040 Well, first of all, he's not going to have any, but no, it would go to the House of Representatives vote.

00:21:53.500 It's been a while since I thought this out, but my memory of it, at least off the top of my head, is it goes to the House of Representatives vote, which would be a vote that, you know, depending on whoever's controlling the House is going to be able to pick the next president.

00:22:07.000 So, that is a, you know, there's a theory that can happen where, like, if, let's say enough, if Republicans were leading it, and Republicans, there was enough Republicans who didn't like Trump.

00:22:18.920 Remember, 2016, this was talked about because there was a decent amount of Republicans in the House that really just didn't like Trump at all.

00:22:24.840 They could decide not to vote for him and try to force into some sort of third option instead of Trump.

00:22:33.800 The chances of that happening are so impossibly low.

00:22:36.720 It's hard to state, but it is theoretically possible that if it tied at 269 or if, you know, let's say RFK Jr.

00:22:44.100 were to win one of those states that you're talking about, then he would be in the, if he could hold both guys below 270, which would be very difficult to do.

00:22:53.440 But if he could do that, it would go to the House, and then it's kind of up for grabs.

00:22:56.520 But I don't think RFK Jr. has enough friends on both sides to be able to win that sort of election.

00:23:01.600 Does it look like we're going to control the House?

00:23:03.300 Are we, how are we doing on the House count?

00:23:05.200 House is really a toss-up at this point.

00:23:08.640 I mean, it's a toss-up now.

00:23:09.880 It doesn't seem like Republicans have improved their position all that much, but it's still really early on that.

00:23:14.840 We just have one thing come our way.

00:23:17.420 Just one.

00:23:18.380 Even the Senate, I think, is questionable.

00:23:20.560 And that should have been a gift to Republicans this year.

00:23:23.020 I know.

00:23:24.820 Glenn Beck.

00:23:27.600 Well, you think things are tough now.

00:23:29.580 Just wait.

00:23:31.300 Lear Capital is on your side, and they want to make sure that you have money left over when no one has money.

00:23:38.220 Believe it or not, that time is coming.

00:23:42.400 Please pick up the phone and dial 800-957-GOLD.

00:23:46.700 800-957-GOLD.

00:23:49.000 I want you to talk to the people at Lear Capital.

00:23:52.040 Just talk to them.

00:23:52.920 You don't necessarily have to buy anything.

00:23:55.340 But if you've been thinking, you know, I should do this, do it right now.

00:23:59.200 Because another day will pass, and you won't do it.

00:24:01.720 Among other reasons that you should call, the BRICS nations, Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, are working to, right now, attack the U.S. dollar and destroy it. 0.98

00:24:18.580 This is real.

00:24:19.460 It's called Operation Sandman.

00:24:22.140 It's real.

00:24:23.200 It's here.

00:24:23.900 They're extremely dangerous.

00:24:25.820 Please protect what you have with gold or silver.

00:24:29.960 Call them now.

00:24:31.200 The number, again, is 800-957-GOLD.

00:24:37.820 800-957-GOLD.

00:24:53.900 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:25:02.720 So, Stu points out during the break that last half hour I said, you know, after this Tucker Carlson thing, I'm not sure I will ever appear on stage with anybody else.

00:25:12.660 And then I reminded you immediately, I'm going to be out with Donald Trump next weekend.

00:25:18.520 Yes, that's true.

00:25:20.240 You know, but I don't think of Donald Trump in the same way, I think.

00:25:26.740 I look at Donald Trump as something to hold back the wolves.

00:25:37.600 And, you know, I might be surprised.

00:25:40.100 There might be a time where he, like, pulls off the mask and he's like, yes, the better to eat you with.

00:25:45.740 You know, and he is the wolf.

00:25:47.340 I don't think so.

00:25:48.220 But I don't trust anybody anymore.

00:25:52.300 But I will tell you, we have no country left.

00:25:57.400 I mean, let's just give you some of the headlines from today.

00:26:01.100 Harris calls for higher taxes on investment income.

00:26:06.460 Now, what is that going to do, Stu?

00:26:07.740 Just noodle this with me.

00:26:09.960 She's giving more taxes on investment income. 0.97

00:26:14.780 What do you think that is?

00:26:15.780 Some would say.

00:26:17.080 What would that do?

00:26:17.600 When you tax something, you discourage it.

00:26:22.240 So if you're taxing investments, you're discouraging investments in American companies.

00:26:30.700 Yeah, but she says she's only going to be taxing people who have a million dollars or more. 1.00

00:26:36.280 She can say that all she wants.

00:26:40.340 She's lying, though.

00:26:41.720 Yeah, I know.

00:26:42.420 But she's also, just so you know, she's only going after the people who have money to invest. 1.00

00:26:48.840 She's not going to go after the poor people on the investment thing. 0.97

00:26:52.120 Oh, good.

00:26:53.140 Really?

00:26:53.500 She's not going to hit the people with massive debt with no income on their massive 401ks?

00:27:00.380 Right.

00:27:00.820 No, they're not going to.

00:27:02.000 Great story about workers feeling Bidenomics pain as job creators fear the worst for Kamala.

00:27:09.540 And this is what's happening.

00:27:12.140 If you think your employer is going to be like, you know what?

00:27:16.680 I'm going to add jobs.

00:27:18.720 If Kamala gets in, you're out of your mind.

00:27:22.380 They are all going to batten down the hatches.

00:27:24.660 By the way, job openings fell more than expected in July, which is, huh, what does that even mean?

00:27:33.620 U.S. steel shares plunge as Biden, Harris, prepare to block Nippon Steel takeover.

00:27:41.180 People familiar with the matter told The Washington Post that President Joe Biden is preparing to announce that he will block the $14.9 billion deal.

00:27:50.480 U.S. shares have fallen now 41% this year.

00:27:55.140 Kamala Harris, the presidential nominee, said U.S. steel should remain American-owned and American-operated.

00:28:01.900 That was during a campaign event in Pittsburgh.

00:28:05.940 Well, that would be good.

00:28:08.660 That would be good.

00:28:09.480 I'd love that.

00:28:11.060 Is anybody offering that to U.S. steel?

00:28:14.320 Not according to U.S. steel, which is kind of the issue, which they say, and I'm interested in your thoughts on this because, you know, it's not China, right?

00:28:23.520 It's not Russia. 0.79

00:28:24.680 This is an ally, a close ally in Japan who is trying to purchase U.S. steel.

00:28:30.840 Obviously, U.S. steel being like this iconic company makes us feel weird.

00:28:34.860 It has the word U.S., United States in it.

00:28:37.700 But, like, their point is, like, we are screwed without this deal.

00:28:42.200 We're leaving Pittsburgh. 0.97

00:28:43.700 We're firing a bunch of people.

00:28:45.820 A lot of union jobs go away if you do not let us go through with this deal.

00:28:51.340 And I can kind of say, you know, I kind of have some understanding of, like, why you'd be hesitant to want U.S. steel to go into foreign hands.

00:29:00.300 Like, it kind of makes sense to me.

00:29:01.720 Oh, no, I don't think it should, but you have to, as a country, you can recommend against it, but do you have a plan to save it?

00:29:15.100 I mean, do you have a plan?

00:29:17.700 What is the plan?

00:29:19.200 Nope, we're not going to approve that deal.

00:29:21.040 Okay.

00:29:21.880 Are you working on anything that maybe you get some Americans to pool their money together and say, you know what?

00:29:28.740 We think this is important.

00:29:31.680 U.S. steel, this is critical infrastructure.

00:29:34.700 If we can't make steel in the United States, we're screwed.

00:29:40.040 But don't worry about it.

00:29:41.020 She's got everything under control.

00:29:42.800 And you're not going to have to worry about cars or tractors or things like that because we're all going to be living in 15-minute cities.

00:29:52.380 And if you don't believe me that you will own nothing and you'll be happy about it, let me just share this.

00:29:59.740 Who owns the environmental services?

00:30:05.360 USDA now is monetizing natural processes under the Sustains Act.

00:30:11.160 So the Sustains Act we told you about a couple of weeks ago.

00:30:14.300 We told you that you had to speak out against this and stop it.

00:30:18.120 It doesn't look like it's going to be stopped.

00:30:19.700 But there's a free market now on environmental processes.

00:30:26.920 So in other words, one environmental process is trees breathe in carbon dioxide and they breathe out air.

00:30:38.100 So they take the pollution and breathe it in and then they give us what we need to live as they breathe out.

00:30:47.900 It's kind of a weird thing.

00:30:49.980 I haven't heard anybody talk about that for a long, long time now.

00:30:53.360 But that's how they survive and thrive.

00:30:57.060 But now, for instance, I've planted in the last 10 years, I can't count the number of trees that I have planted up in a treeless area.

00:31:07.860 And I may not own those trees now.

00:31:11.780 If the USDA has their way, and this has already passed, they're just looking on how to implement it, the secretary is allowed to go in and say, you know what?

00:31:28.820 These trees are really important.

00:31:30.640 That water, you're pumping that water out of your well.

00:31:33.880 Well, that's not your water.

00:31:35.060 That's part of the environmental process.

00:31:36.980 And we don't think you should pump any of that water.

00:31:40.180 They will, well, I can't say this.

00:31:42.840 They will regulate, but they won't own.

00:31:45.920 They are claiming the processes that are on your land.

00:31:49.980 So you may not own the air.

00:31:51.440 You may not own the tree.

00:31:52.660 You may not own the water.

00:31:55.720 Nothing.

00:31:56.540 What is your land worth without water, especially in the West?

00:32:01.580 What is your land worth without water, farmers?

00:32:04.460 What is your land worth when you can't till the soil yourself because the minerals and the soil is not really owned by you?

00:32:16.700 You own the space, but you don't own anything other than, you know, maybe, maybe your house if it's already built.

00:32:26.000 Who owns that?

00:32:27.180 Well, people like Bill Gates will own that.

00:32:29.520 Bill Gates will come in and say, you know, I just want to save the planet.

00:32:32.040 So I'm going to just buy up all of this farmland, and I'm going to buy the air, and I'm going to buy the trees, and I'm going to buy everything.

00:32:42.060 So that way, when somebody wants to farm on it, like these farmers that have been farming on it for generations, I can tell them no.

00:32:52.140 No, because it'll hurt the environment.

00:32:54.100 And all of this is done by the secretary of the USDA.

00:33:02.500 I don't even know who that is.

00:33:04.700 Do you?

00:33:07.880 This is why our government is out of control.

00:33:12.500 Who is to answer for this?

00:33:15.260 It's all at the secretary's discretion.

00:33:19.560 No, thank you.

00:33:21.540 No, thank you.

00:33:22.600 So the Department of Agriculture and USDA, they administer the program, and the secretary—could you look up the secretary of agriculture, Stu?

00:33:32.820 Because I don't know who that is.

00:33:35.300 I'd like to know what brainiac we have put in on that, but I'm sure they're smarter than all of us put together.

00:33:44.860 A name from the past, Secretary Tom Vilsack.

00:33:48.860 Remember him?

00:33:49.380 Former senator.

00:33:51.640 I don't know why I remember him, but I do remember him.

00:33:54.520 Yeah, good.

00:33:55.140 So we have a senator that, you know, and senators know so much about farming and land, you know, and trees and all of that.

00:34:04.540 I think that's fantastic.

00:34:06.240 So the new law sets out how the secretary is to determine ownership of the environmental services that are created on private land through the federal conservation program.

00:34:17.500 Contributing entity, the one who contributes the private funding to the conservation programs, is to prescribe the terms of ownership of the environmental services subject to the approval of the secretary.

00:34:29.900 So that's great.

00:34:32.940 That's great.

00:34:34.240 The landowner really doesn't have anything to say about it.

00:34:37.800 So don't worry about it.

00:34:40.720 Don't worry about it.

00:34:41.620 What?

00:34:41.920 You can live in a city, a 15-minute city.

00:34:43.940 That's not a problem.

00:34:44.860 You're not going to be able to buy a car because we're not going to make our own steel, you know?

00:34:48.780 And you're not going to really have a job because you don't have to really have a job because you won't own anything.

00:34:54.080 You'll just rent it from your overlords.

00:34:59.240 If you think this sounds like hyperbole, read the news.

00:35:06.500 Read the news.

00:35:08.320 You can get our daily newsletter, which has just the news stories of the day, and you can find these and share them with your friends and family.

00:35:24.500 What do you mean they're monetizing the natural processes under the Sustains Act?

00:35:29.680 This is a way for them to take control of the land through private-public partnerships.

00:35:39.100 So the public owns the land.

00:35:41.820 Well, I shouldn't say that.

00:35:43.620 I mean, it's still a private person, but he's, you know, part of the public.

00:35:48.200 So he owns the land, and then he partners with the government to control it.

00:35:53.500 And I think that is exactly the direction we all want to go in.

00:35:59.680 I really don't understand how people, you know, I understood when it was my word saying, you know, I feel like this is what's happening.

00:36:09.680 We're so far beyond that.

00:36:11.880 When I came out with the book on the WEF and was starting to tell you about how you were going to, you know, own nothing and be happy,

00:36:21.480 I could even understand that you could say, well, that's what all the documents say, but they're not going to do it.

00:36:27.600 I can't understand you're burying your head in your sand, in the sand anymore.

00:36:33.300 There's no excuse for it anymore.

00:36:35.360 This is not my opinion.

00:36:37.520 You can do your own homework.

00:36:39.200 You'll find all of this being done, not talked about, but being done.

00:36:46.460 What else are you waiting for?

00:36:48.740 What else are your friends and your family and your neighbors waiting for?

00:36:53.240 We have to start talking to our friends and our family, not about politics, not about Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

00:37:11.380 We need to start talking to them about principles and the things that are actually happening.

00:37:17.920 These things are actually happening.

00:37:21.660 The economy is going to the crapper.

00:37:25.540 The jobs going to the crapper.

00:37:30.200 If they believed in all of these things, why wouldn't they do them right now?

00:37:37.020 Because they don't believe in turning the economy around.

00:37:41.460 They don't know how to do it.

00:37:43.520 And what they're going to do is put you all back in chains.

00:37:52.560 You will work for the government, how the government wants you to work, where they want you to work, where they want you to live.

00:38:00.980 You will own nothing by 2030.

00:38:04.920 This election takes us to 2028.

00:38:11.580 Do you think maybe this is an important election?

00:38:15.300 Back in a minute.

00:38:16.060 All right, let me tell you, someday in your future, your house will come equipped with laser beams that will shoot through your gutters and vaporize all the leaves.

00:38:26.580 But that time is not now.

00:38:30.120 Right now, the future is going to be sweet, but still around the corner.

00:38:35.740 In the meantime, you've got to get out that wobbly ladder from the garage, make peace with God, and then climb up to clean out the leaves.

00:38:42.340 Or you could just get the leaf filter from leaf home gutters.

00:38:47.680 It's a filter that protects your gutters from all of the damage that they can do to your home if they've got rotting leaves, it's rotting siding, foundation issues, all of that.

00:38:59.920 Best of all, you'll never have to think about your gutters again.

00:39:03.000 Protect your home and never clean your gutters out again with leaf filter.

00:39:28.800 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:39:31.440 Well, Alan Dershowitz says that if the judge in New York goes through with the sentencing before the November election, we are a banana republic.

00:39:57.260 He says this is exactly the kind of stuff that is happening in Venezuela and there's no need for it.

00:40:05.140 He said this case is probably going to be overturned because, you know, of all the things that happened and that there's no evidence, there's no real case there.

00:40:15.020 And he said, you know, I've been trying, I've been trying from, you know, since the 1960s.

00:40:20.820 And he said, I've seen cases like this.

00:40:22.860 And he said, they're always overturned.

00:40:24.020 If this judge sentences him before the election, that is clear election interference because it will affect the election one way or another.

00:40:37.140 I personally think it will hurt them.

00:40:40.100 I think if they do this right before the election and they put him in jail or whatever, that I think that is going to hurt them.

00:40:49.800 You see the latest, Stu, that the enthusiasm for Kamala is way, way down.

00:40:57.820 I've seen some reporting on that.

00:41:01.520 Yeah.

00:41:02.280 I think there's one poll that showed something like that.

00:41:05.160 And it does seem to be that, you know, we talked about this last week, like the momentum is sort of drying up a little bit, if you will.

00:41:13.280 Going no longer this sort of, you know, stratospheric rise that Kamala seemed to be on.

00:41:18.580 There's no shock there.

00:41:19.580 I mean, like that, I'm not at all surprised by that.

00:41:22.160 But I think you're right.

00:41:23.160 I think, you know, it's interesting the timing of this, which, what is it, September 16th is the sentencing date.

00:41:28.880 September 10th is the election.

00:41:30.820 So I think Donald Trump's chances of going to prison or winding up in an ankle bracelet increase dramatically if he wins that debate in some sort of demolishing fashion like he did the first one against Biden.

00:41:43.960 If she's in trouble, the chances of him going to prison are much, much higher.

00:41:48.420 If they think they're winning, I think they might go with your analysis and think this might hurt us.

00:41:54.540 Maybe.

00:41:55.260 But we're luckily only a few days away to find out, are we a banana republic or not?

00:42:01.480 Yes.

00:42:03.180 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:04.820 It's a new day.

00:42:29.880 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:42:45.280 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:48.100 So there's a guy who has lived his whole life without ever registering to vote, without ever voting.

00:42:57.620 Never voted in a presidential election, ever.

00:43:01.180 Didn't vote.

00:43:02.000 I knew him back then.

00:44:23.840 All right.

00:44:24.780 Mr. Jason Whitlock.

00:44:26.420 I got a lot to talk to you about today.

00:44:28.820 But let me just start with, you're voting?

00:44:33.140 Yes, I'm voting.

00:44:35.180 I've registered here in Tennessee, and I will be casting a vote for Donald Trump.

00:44:42.440 Okay.

00:44:43.240 So this is a big deal, and we've talked about this for years, and there have been really important elections.

00:44:52.540 Why did you never vote?

00:44:54.140 Because I've never believed that politics really solve any problems, that I always felt like, you know, there's no political solutions to spiritual problems.

00:45:11.460 I still believe that, but I do believe the stakes and the consequences of this election.

00:45:19.400 And one particular issue that's just near and dear to my heart, if anybody has followed me for any period of time, on January 6th, 2021, I was defending them on January 6th.

00:45:38.400 I didn't wait until the 7th or the 8th or the 9th or a year later.

00:45:42.500 I felt like those people were justified in their actions.

00:45:51.000 My instinct said they'd been set up, and they were agitators, and that this was being overblown and calling this an insurrection.

00:46:00.320 And I just, Ashley Babbitt being murdered for no reason, and the only way to provide those people that they have put underneath prison, the only way to provide relief to them is if Donald Trump gets re-elected and pardoned them.

00:46:17.460 And so, it's easier for me to see the consequences and or benefits in this election.

00:46:29.640 And, you know, I could go on with all the other things that the left are doing that bother me.

00:46:36.360 But I don't, sometimes I question whether, like, are the Republicans in on some of this other stuff that the left is doing?

00:46:43.660 As it relates to getting January 6th people out of these dungeons, Trump can, should, I hope will do it.

00:46:55.500 And I can't sit on the sidelines and say I did nothing when I'm, you know, when I have an opportunity to do something.

00:47:04.160 So, you know, it's really weird with the things that are going on now, Jason, where, you know, we could talk about it before and say, you know, it looks like this might happen, this might happen.

00:47:16.440 These things are happening.

00:47:18.400 I mean, the way they're coming after Elon Musk all over the world now in a coordinated effort is a little terrifying.

00:47:27.200 Don't you think?

00:47:28.020 It's terrifying, but I tend to look at it more of it's inspiring because that would be part two of, like, this guy has pushed all of his chips into the middle of the table.

00:47:44.040 He's Elon Musk.

00:47:45.220 He's made himself an assassination candidate, a career financial suicide candidate.

00:47:53.480 He's been very bold, and I can't sit on the sidelines and watch this guy risk everything.

00:48:03.120 And the third part of it would just be the shot that they took at Donald Trump is, I just, men are taking real risks right now. 0.96

00:48:14.980 And for me to say, hey, it's not even worth my time to register to vote and vote, I would be a coward, a hypocrite, and worthy of, you know, disbargement. 0.98

00:48:27.380 Wow. 0.98

00:48:27.960 Good for you.

00:48:29.280 What do you think is going to happen with the jail time?

00:48:33.380 If, I think it's the 16th, the judge in New York has to decide, you know, what his sentence is.

00:48:42.600 If they put him in jail, Jason, how do you think that's going to play out?

00:48:48.060 I think it's going to inspire more of us.

00:48:52.060 I think that, you know, I'll be praying for President Trump, but I just think it's just pushing more and more chips into the middle of the table and making conflict more and more inevitable.

00:49:11.340 You know, it's, I'm so, I have so little confidence in the integrity of the election process.

00:49:22.840 We've clearly become a banana republic. 0.84

00:49:25.620 And there's a TV show called Narcos that was popular on Netflix, and it was about, you know, drug cartels and their influence over politics in Colombia and other South American countries.

00:49:43.780 And I watch it now, or I remember it now and go, holy cow, we're just like that.

00:49:49.980 That the corrupt and the criminal are actually, we got villains, women, gangs taking over neighborhoods and communities, and we have politicians doing nothing about it. 0.65

00:50:02.360 And today, Glenn, I'm going to, on my show, I'm going to get into a discussion about the great replacement, and I'm going to use sports to unpack it so that people can perhaps hear it in a non-political way.

00:50:17.640 But this replacement thing that they got going on that too many black people don't understand, and I know it's not just black people that don't understand it, but we've lost our reverence for American citizenship. 0.98

00:50:33.220 And we just think, hey, anybody and everybody should just be able to come over here and do whatever, and we're so caught up.

00:50:41.200 We've lost sight of, like, religion, shared values based on religious beliefs, shared values based on our geography, shared values based on our language.

00:50:52.360 That's our identity, not this other, oh, who you have sex with, how you have sex, what skin color you are.

00:51:01.340 Those things are irrelevant.

00:51:03.760 Your language, your geography, and the values from your religion, that's what should be tying us together.

00:51:11.120 But we don't care, everybody, this whole people of color thing. 0.99

00:51:16.500 Show me in the history of the world where people have accomplished something great, magnificent, healthy, based off of shared skin color.

00:51:26.740 No, it's shared values.

00:51:28.680 It's shared language.

00:51:30.180 It's shared geography.

00:51:31.920 And we're just throwing it all away.

00:51:33.860 It's just, hey, just let any and everybody in here, and if they're from Somalia and they practice some other form of religion, that's fine.

00:51:41.620 You know, that's great.

00:51:43.000 You know, and if there's some other skin color, that diversity is our strength.

00:51:47.180 Shared values had been our strength, and we have to get back to that or we're all throwing away our safety.

00:51:55.520 All right.

00:51:56.120 So let me switch gears with you.

00:51:57.380 But I think we're still talking about values and principles and, you know, the meaninglessness of race with Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.

00:52:08.080 I want to go into that with you.

00:52:09.680 Let me break for 60 seconds and come right back with Jason Whitlock.

00:52:14.320 First, let me tell you about Lear Capital.

00:52:16.820 I was talking to you last hour about Lear Capital and how you should call them today to look into investing a portion of your portfolio into precious metals.

00:52:24.320 It is so important that you take this seriously.

00:52:27.600 Time is running short.

00:52:29.860 The number is 800-957-GOLD.

00:52:32.360 800-957-GOLD.

00:52:33.900 It's not just the BRICS countries that are trying to destroy the dollar from the outside. 0.90

00:52:39.580 We have people in the highest places of power within our own government, elected and unelected, who are killing the U.S. dollar just as fast as our enemies.

00:52:48.900 We've got to be prepared for whatever is coming our way economically.

00:52:52.480 You have to know what time it is.

00:52:55.700 It's growing late.

00:52:57.600 Please call.

00:52:59.360 Find out about precious metals, gold or silver, with Lear Capital.

00:53:03.240 Lear Capital, they'll credit your account with $250 towards your purchase.

00:53:07.420 You just have to call them today at 800-957-GOLD.

00:53:10.920 Do it today.

00:53:12.320 800-957-GOLD.

00:53:14.920 10 seconds, Station ID.

00:53:22.480 So I know very little about the Caitlin Clark story, but she, if I understand this right, she is the WNBA leader, really.

00:53:38.620 She's actually selling tickets at very high prices.

00:53:43.880 Nobody else is really being able to sell the tickets.

00:53:47.300 But I think because she's white, perhaps, there's people in the media that don't want her to be the star. 0.57

00:53:55.100 They want Angel Reese to be the star.

00:53:57.340 And it's all seemingly based on race.

00:54:02.980 Is that a correct read of that, Jason?

00:54:07.080 It's close enough.

00:54:09.200 You know, I can pick at the edges.

00:54:11.560 But, yes, it's accurate.

00:54:14.260 But here's what, I'll spit it more apart.

00:54:17.280 Here's what Caitlin Clark represents. 0.69

00:54:20.340 And it connects to what we were talking about earlier.

00:54:23.480 She's from the middle of the country, Iowa.

00:54:27.360 We believe that, hey, like, she loves America.

00:54:31.620 She grew up in a traditional nuclear family.

00:54:37.100 Hey, her mom and dad attend the games.

00:54:39.300 They've been married a long time.

00:54:40.860 And she grew up playing sports at a Catholic high school.

00:54:45.520 And so she's got the Christian faith.

00:54:47.600 And she just, she's like, she stands out in that culture.

00:54:52.580 Because the WNBA has been very woke and very politicized and very Marxist-leaning.

00:54:59.820 And now they finally have a likable superstar who plays a unique style of basketball for a woman. 1.00

00:55:08.460 But also, she's just kind of easy to like.

00:55:11.720 She's relatable.

00:55:12.600 Because, you know, Midwest girl, you know, has some boyfriend that, you know, she keeps close, works for the Indiana Pacers, you know, seems to come from a good family, and doesn't hate America.

00:55:25.620 You know, the WNBA has been about kneeling and protesting America.

00:55:31.140 And, yes, the Angel Reese, who has kind of stayed out of politics, but she attached herself to Caitlyn Clark by trolling her when they were college stars and then being jealous of her as WNBA players.

00:55:51.160 And so Angel Reese is the villain, and Caitlyn Clark is the hero.

00:55:56.880 And there are people, based on their racial idolatry, that just, they prefer Angel Reese and want to bring down Caitlyn Clark.

00:56:07.820 It's, we all should be enjoying this, but also learning a lesson.

00:56:13.900 And this is where my show is going to get into this.

00:56:16.160 The WNBA trajectory, because of Caitlyn Clark, and because of those values that she represents, it's going to, and this will sound crazy when I say it, but it's going to surpass the NBA in relevance here in America.

00:56:34.680 And I think that's going to happen more quickly than people realize, and it's because in the NBA, all of their young superstars, they're all foreign players. 0.97

00:56:48.600 The NBA, the men's league, has bought into globalism.

00:56:52.400 They don't understand the value of American citizenship.

00:56:55.640 And so that league's popularity has been waning ever since Michael Jordan retired.

00:57:02.040 And it's even with LeBron James.

00:57:04.320 But he's got that Marxist worldview and promotes all that stuff.

00:57:08.420 But all their top stars, from Luka Doncas to Nikola Jokic to Giannis Antetokounmpo to Joel Embiid, they're all, I think, the Shea Gilders, I think he's maybe from Canada.

00:57:21.440 All of these players are from foreign countries.

00:57:24.880 They've bought into globalism.

00:57:26.340 They've surrendered their American traction and relevance.

00:57:31.560 And now the WNBA is loaded up with American-born players, including Angel Reese, including this woman, Asia Wilson, who's a great player, and, of course, obviously, Caitlyn Clark.

00:57:44.960 And eventually, I would say three to five years from now, they will be as popular as the NBA and eventually will surpass the NBA because the NBA has bought into globalism.

00:58:00.300 They don't value American citizenship.

00:58:02.420 God, that's an incredible prediction.

00:58:06.040 Three to five years, you think, Jason?

00:58:07.400 That quickly?

00:58:08.640 Yeah, I really do.

00:58:11.760 Because once LeBron retires and Kevin Durant and Steph Curry, they got nothing to offer us.

00:58:19.760 And I've seen this growing up in Indianapolis, Indiana, being an Indy 500 fan as a kid.

00:58:28.500 And open-wheel Indy car racing in the 80s, early 90s, it went all international drivers.

00:58:37.640 And guess what?

00:58:39.260 NASCAR and stock car racing ended up surpassing Indy car racing and the Indy 500 in terms of relevance and popularity in America.

00:58:49.580 Because NASCAR, stock car, had a bunch of American drivers, names you could pronounce, and Indy car has never recovered.

00:58:58.620 The Indy 500 now is dwarfed by the Brickyard 400 right there in Indianapolis.

00:59:05.700 This is where I grew up.

00:59:06.680 I watched all this in real time.

00:59:08.660 I saw the feud.

00:59:10.440 And so, yes, it will happen again.

00:59:12.540 It will happen in basketball.

00:59:15.340 Jason, one thing watching this, because as you point out, I mean, this is a lottery ticket for the WNBA, right?

00:59:22.560 Kaitlin Clark comes out of nowhere and makes this league relevant.

00:59:25.140 I've spent most of my life just mocking it and never, ever paying attention to it.

00:59:30.160 Now I'm interested even because I love watching Kaitlin Clark play.

00:59:33.380 It's just fun.

00:59:34.200 And it seems like the league and everyone in the media apparatus around it has done everything they could to try to destroy her since the moment she walked into the league, including acts of physical brutality to her on the court.

00:59:50.320 Why are they reacting this way to her?

00:59:53.640 Why are they rejecting this gift?

00:59:57.400 Well, take the players on the court.

01:00:00.480 I'm going to offer them the excuse, hey, they're just competitive.

01:00:04.200 This is what athletes do.

01:00:06.640 They fight over turf.

01:00:08.160 And I get it.

01:00:10.660 They're petty, jealousy.

01:00:12.080 And again, they're white players.

01:00:13.340 Diana Taurasi, Brianna Stewart.

01:00:15.820 They all had catty things to say about her, Kaitlin Clark, when she entered the league. 0.96

01:00:22.080 I get the players.

01:00:24.020 They want to be more popular.

01:00:26.240 You know, it happens in sport. 0.99

01:00:28.160 The media, the media is just stupid and it's controlled by leftists and Marxists and the media should, because it's actually a great story in terms of what you got a good guy and you got a bad guy. 0.98

01:00:42.740 Angel Reese is the bad guy. 1.00

01:00:44.620 Kaitlin Clark is the good guy.

01:00:46.060 And people are kind of drawn to that.

01:00:48.920 And we're watching Kaitlin Clark to see her beat up the bad guy, Angel Reese, and expose the gap between them.

01:00:58.320 That's actually good.

01:00:59.480 The media is the one that has portrayed Angel Reese as the good guy and Kaitlin Clark more so her fans.

01:01:08.520 Her fans, they're the bad guys.

01:01:11.220 They represent a part of America that needs to be destroyed and shut down. 0.85

01:01:14.980 The media just has failed to tell this story properly.

01:01:20.440 And so I blame the media and some of the old former players. 0.98

01:01:26.160 Cheryl Swopes has made a complete fool of herself. 1.00

01:01:29.680 But, you know, we've seen this before. 0.98

01:01:32.520 We saw it with Jackie Robinson in 1947.

01:01:36.500 Stu, you and I were just, you know, we weren't even around then.

01:01:40.140 Glenn was probably.

01:01:40.680 I wasn't either.

01:01:44.980 But we've seen this before with Jackie Robinson coming into Major League Baseball.

01:01:50.840 And I wrote at the very beginning of the season, people thought I was crazy.

01:01:54.580 I was like, hey, look.

01:01:56.100 Kaitlin Clark's not going to face death threats like Jackie Robinson.

01:01:59.120 But she's going to face as much, if not more, resistance to her rise as Jackie Robinson.

01:02:08.260 This is going to be more difficult because by the time you throw in the sexual politics that Kaitlin Clark, again, she's got a boyfriend. 1.00

01:02:16.840 She's growing up in the Catholic Church.

01:02:19.060 You've got to believe she's Christian.

01:02:21.000 That doesn't play.

01:02:23.160 The WNBA has been a lesbian, atheist league for a long time. 0.86

01:02:29.560 And so she's facing resistance on all fronts that her struggle is just as difficult.

01:02:38.720 It's not as dangerous, but it's just as difficult as Jackie Robinson's.

01:02:43.860 And people love an underdog story.

01:02:46.200 People love to see Jackie Robinson was the good guy.

01:02:49.600 And to see him overcome all that, we love it.

01:02:53.020 And so we love Kaitlin Clark.

01:02:57.180 And, you know, I will say there's a lot of black men who love Kaitlin Clark and just have thrown out the racial idolatry aspect.

01:03:07.000 And it's like, man, this girl can hoop and ball and it's a great story.

01:03:10.760 It does appear to be like black women and the media, regardless of color and gender, are having the biggest problem with Kaitlin Clark. 0.54

01:03:42.040 How would you like to get up one day, walk into the kitchen, get some breakfast, and all of a sudden you realize, hey, I don't hurt anymore.

01:03:49.860 If you're like I used to be and you live in a lot of pain, that notion probably sounds a little too good to be true.

01:03:55.300 And I know it sounded too good to be true for me, but luckily I listened to my wife, who is much smarter than I am.

01:04:02.240 And she said, I'm not going to listen to you whining anymore unless you try this. 1.00

01:04:07.440 You've got to try everything.

01:04:08.680 And I thought I had tried everything.

01:05:43.140 What do you think is going to happen?

01:05:47.160 What do you think she's going to do? 0.79

01:05:48.700 She is also the most pro-abortion advocate to ever be anywhere close to the White House.

01:05:56.820 She is the first vice president to ever go to an abortion clinic and, you know, make happy talk with everybody in the, you know, in the, honestly, in the death chamber of Planned Parenthood.

01:06:14.340 But if you think you're going to have a voice and be able to do anything about abortion, I think you're sadly mistaken.

01:06:24.880 You know, one of the things that nobody seems to be talking about or caring about is the fact that they are, the DOJ is, is taking glee in prosecuting anybody who shows up to try to stop women from having an abortion.

01:06:43.700 And they've been, you know, charged with violating the FACE Act.

01:06:49.460 However, they're doing something else.

01:06:52.020 They are using the KKK Act to charge as well as somebody who is trying to stop your civil right.

01:07:02.580 It was something developed for the Klan. 0.67

01:07:05.200 And we're now using this to get 10 years plus in prison for anybody who goes to March for Life.

01:07:16.120 Steve Crampton is with us now.

01:07:19.120 Steve is with the Thomas Moore Society Senior Counsel, and he has been on this beat and trying to fight it in court.

01:07:25.800 How's the fight coming, Steve?

01:07:27.220 Well, Glenn, it wouldn't be a rosy report I could furnish the Biden-Harris DOJ, as you indicated, has ramped up criminal prosecutions against peaceful pro-life demonstrators against abortion in a way we have never seen before.

01:07:51.480 According to my calculations, since 2011, there have been a total of about 51 criminal prosecutions.

01:08:00.060 Thirty-five, thirty-five of those have been since the overturning of Roe against Wade in 2022 by the Biden-Harris administration.

01:08:09.220 And as you indicate, they have thrown the book at these guys, including this 10-year felony conspiracy against rights charge.

01:08:17.580 We just had guilty verdicts handed down in another criminal face case in Detroit here at the end of August.

01:08:27.440 We're still fighting those charges.

01:08:29.800 The court has graciously allowed us time to really brief and argue the fact that this statute has no bearing in the context of a peaceful sit-in, is what it amounts to, a violation of the face act.

01:08:44.920 So we're still fighting those, but it's brutal.

01:08:48.140 Let's go back for just a second on the Klan Act. 0.78

01:08:51.300 It is the Ku Klux Klan Act. 0.88

01:08:54.400 It was passed in 1870 to guard the rights of African-Americans to go in and vote.

01:09:01.180 So how are they applying this here?

01:09:04.420 It's incredible.

01:09:05.620 The statute says if two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in the free exercise of their rights guaranteed by the Constitution or the laws of the United States.

01:09:22.780 So they take that or the laws of the United States and say, hey, the FACE Act is a law of the United States.

01:09:29.940 These people have agreed to come in and engage in this sit-in, thereby intimidating or oppressing folks trying to get an abortion.

01:09:38.500 Ergo, we can charge them with this conspiracy violation.

01:09:44.040 So, you know, on the face of the act, Glenn, it really does seem to apply.

01:09:49.320 But the fact of the matter is, and the U.S. Supreme Court in a very recent case, Fisher against the United States, decided the end of June, the end of this last term, 2024, that, hey, you can't just willy-nilly take these old statutes with generic, very broad language,

01:10:08.120 and ratchet them down against a newly enacted act like the FACE Act, where the intent of Congress is clearly not to allow such things.

01:10:19.800 There were great debates in Congress in 1994 when they tried to enact, for the first time in our nation's history, a federal law that criminalizes peaceful civil disobedience, you know, the time-honored tradition that we've enjoyed for our nation's history.

01:10:37.360 And they directly asked, okay, so somebody that's engaged in this kind of nonviolent sit-in action, they can't be charged with a felony?

01:10:46.640 Answer, absolutely not.

01:10:49.220 And yet here we are, only under the Biden administration do you import Section 241, the Conspiracy Against Rights KKK Act, for use against pro-lifers only.

01:10:59.660 So, I have a feeling that we haven't seen anything yet, Steve, that the mask is coming off.

01:11:11.620 They've all but told us exactly who they are.

01:11:14.740 Remember, they were running a moderate last time.

01:11:17.340 This time, if you're paying attention at all, they're not telling you what she's going to do for a reason.

01:11:22.540 They won't explain her flip-flops for a reason.

01:11:27.940 And we know who she is, and she is massively anti-pro-life. 0.99

01:11:37.120 And I just have this feeling, Steve, and please tell me this is hyperbole, that I could see in the next four years, if she wins, you don't have a right to say anything about abortion.

01:11:48.500 Glenn, I wish I could disagree with you there.

01:11:53.220 As you lay out, this is, I think, the most overtly, avidly, obsessively pro-abortion thing that we have ever seen.

01:12:04.320 And she can't wait.

01:12:06.020 She falls all over herself in spite of her strict controllers trying to hold her back when it comes to the issue of abortion. 0.83

01:12:13.400 And remember, by the way, just this week, there's a new report of the FBI's utter failure to act, even in the context of sexual abuse and human trafficking of children.

01:12:26.640 They are too busy, apparently, combing through age-old Facebook records of gentle pro-life Christians, trying to find ways to come in with the SWAT teams and arrest them, rather than looking after the lives and sexual well-being of our children.

01:12:46.860 I mean, it's unbelievable where we are and the priorities of the weaponized DOJ and FBI.

01:12:53.060 Steve, let me just ask the listener to pray for you and the Thomas More Society for everything that you're doing.

01:13:03.880 But also, if you feel this is something that is important to you, I think it is, please consider making a donation to the Thomas More Society, thomasmoresociety.org.

01:13:17.260 They are providing legal counsel and fighting this fight where it really counts, thomasmoresociety.org.

01:13:26.680 Steve, thank you.

01:13:28.140 Thank you so much, Glenn.

01:13:29.580 God bless you.

01:13:30.800 God bless you.

01:13:31.460 The rights that are on the line this time around are numerous.

01:13:46.740 When you look at what they have done to Donald Trump, they have used and abused the FBI, the Justice Department, our intelligence agencies.

01:14:05.900 They have all lied to us about Russia collusion, et cetera, et cetera.

01:14:12.920 And I know if you're a Democrat, you're shaking your head saying, no, that wasn't a lie.

01:14:17.120 It was a lie.

01:14:18.640 It was a provable lie.

01:14:21.680 You might have missed some of the reporting that went on because the mainstream media ran it once and then just moved on.

01:14:33.540 But everyone admits now that that was a lie.

01:14:38.940 Clinton was involved in it.

01:14:40.860 Biden was involved in it.

01:14:43.140 Obama was involved in it.

01:14:44.740 This has become an oligarchy and people that are voting for Kamala Harris, I believe, are ill-informed.

01:15:01.980 But I also believe they have just been trained orange man bad.

01:15:10.460 And so they will vote for anything, even somebody they don't know or like.

01:15:16.720 You don't...

01:15:17.860 Americans don't even know who she is. 1.00

01:15:20.500 But she is a rabid anti-pro-lifer. 1.00

01:15:27.460 And if you don't think that these people will put you in jail using an old law from 1870 to stop the Ku Klux Klan,

01:15:39.360 these people have nothing on their hands to do all day except find ways to destroy our rights.

01:15:47.760 And if that sounds like hyperbole, you're not paying attention.

01:15:57.240 Look at the way they're...

01:15:58.560 Look at the way they're going after anybody who stands in their way.

01:16:02.620 Anybody.

01:16:05.160 President Trump.

01:16:06.840 That's incredible. 0.91

01:16:09.000 You know, people say, well, he's a felon.

01:16:10.860 Is he?

01:16:11.640 Is he?

01:16:11.980 Because that's going to be overturned.

01:16:13.480 Is he a felon?

01:16:14.440 And if he was a felon, what exactly was he a felon on?

01:16:20.040 I know he was 32 counts, but it was the same thing over and over again just for different papers,

01:16:26.600 different months of putting it into a ledger.

01:16:30.240 Nobody's ever been tried on that. 0.94

01:16:32.040 That's ridiculous.

01:16:33.160 And the man has been investigated by every single service, intelligence service, in all five eyes and all of our enemies. 0.85

01:16:47.680 Everyone.

01:16:49.480 Everyone did research on him.

01:16:51.420 Well, if he's done this, what else has he done?

01:16:53.420 Apparently nothing.

01:16:56.100 Because if this is the best you have after five or six years of digging and digging and digging, you got nothing.

01:17:04.340 Nothing.

01:17:08.320 And if they will persecute him, you don't think they'll do that to you?

01:17:14.780 If they will go after the guy who is, A, the biggest manufacturer of electric cars, when they say the biggest thing we have to do is get rid of all of our cars and have electric cars,

01:17:28.480 they'll go after him because he disagrees with them on Donald Trump.

01:17:34.080 They will try to put him out of business because of his Trump connection and also because he believes in free speech.

01:17:48.120 Where's America?

01:17:49.600 What are you voting for?

01:17:51.600 Because you're not voting for this country.

01:17:54.740 You're not voting for our Constitution.

01:17:56.940 You're not voting for our Bill of Rights.

01:17:58.700 You may think you are, but it's because you haven't boned up on what's really going on.

01:18:06.160 And in some ways, I can't blame you because the mainstream media either calls everything a conspiracy theory and then goes on a year later to go, oh, yeah, that is true.

01:18:21.820 Or you've just stuck your head in the sand.

01:18:25.000 And for that, I have no sympathy.

01:18:28.700 But please, I'd rather avoid what I think in some ways we deserve.

01:18:41.020 Back in a minute.

01:18:44.520 Let me tell you about the Burna Launcher.

01:18:47.300 You know what's going on in Aurora, Colorado.

01:18:49.460 Do we happen to have that video?

01:18:51.320 I have to play this video for you.

01:18:53.140 There's video of going through, you know, the apartment complex.

01:18:57.540 It's been destroyed.

01:18:59.220 Illegal immigrant gangs have literally taken over several apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado.

01:19:05.740 And it's not going to stop there.

01:19:07.840 We don't know how many millions of illegals are in this country right now, let alone how many more are going to get through before we finally seal the border.

01:19:15.860 And if she wins, they're not going to.

01:19:18.460 Being armed is your right as an American citizen.

01:19:21.340 And nobody is more pro-Second Amendment than I am.

01:19:25.160 But there are times when it's appropriate to protect yourself and your family with non-lethal means.

01:19:31.340 That's where the Burna Launcher comes in.

01:19:33.180 Can you imagine what's going to happen to people who defend themselves if this crew gets in?

01:19:37.100 It's a great complement to your firearms.

01:19:41.540 There are a few situations, quite a few actually, where less lethal is the way to go.

01:19:45.700 And Burna is the best alternative to deadly force.

01:19:48.580 The Burna Launcher has powerful deterrents like tear gas and kinetic rounds with a 60-foot range.

01:19:53.300 And one shot can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

01:20:21.300 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:20:42.020 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:20:44.220 We have Eric Berger on in just a minute.

01:20:46.740 You may not know him by name, but he has probably done more one-on-one work or documenting of Elon Musk than maybe anybody else.

01:21:00.820 In the early days of SpaceX, he was there and saw all of the trials and tribulations and how they pulled their butt out of the fire, literally, several times.

01:21:10.820 You know, it was 10 years ago, Boeing was the number one company to go to for space.

01:21:17.880 Now, SpaceX, 10 years ago, while Boeing was number one, SpaceX was just getting their feet underneath them and having, you know, all kinds of problems.

01:21:27.080 Now, Elon Musk is going to save our astronauts from a Boeing product.

01:21:34.740 It's incredible.

01:21:36.720 And the guy is under attack from everyone.

01:21:41.720 Look at what he's doing.

01:21:42.620 He is standing up for freedom of speech.

01:21:44.980 He is reinventing space travel.

01:21:47.560 He is also the guy who is saving the planet, if you go that direction, with electric cars.

01:21:57.320 He's reinvented the car industry.

01:22:00.020 All three of those things as individual things are massive.

01:22:04.920 And he's doing them all at the same time.

01:22:08.620 Should be something for the left and the right and all of us to agree on, on the massive advances that he's made.

01:22:17.000 And yet, we got to get him.

01:22:18.600 We got to get him.

01:22:38.620 We got to compromise.

01:22:39.620 We got to stay together.

01:22:45.480 If we're going to survive.

01:22:49.500 Stay the strength.

01:22:53.220 And hold the line.

01:22:56.580 It's a new day.

01:22:58.860 Time to rise.

01:23:05.760 Welcome to the fusion.

01:23:08.620 of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:23:13.780 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:18.680 You know, when Leonardo DiCaprio, when Leonardo da Vinci needed to flee the Pope's summer residence in the middle of the night,

01:23:29.200 it was because he was, if they thought at the time, violating the most sacred things by doing vivisections of human bodies to understand how the human body worked.

01:23:41.840 But when Galileo was saying, no, you know what, you're just wrong.

01:23:47.000 I don't think we, I don't think we have the sun going around us.

01:23:51.660 I think we're going around the sun.

01:23:54.380 They put him in a tower.

01:23:55.800 If a great inventor like Elon Musk, I'm sorry, like Thomas Edison, was going to do things, he could do pretty much anything.

01:24:10.540 If he had the stock market and he had the politicians in his pocket, which he did, why he destroyed Nikolai Tesla.

01:24:21.140 The guy we think is a good guy, Thomas Edison, he was a, he was a villain in my, in my book.

01:24:30.480 Well, we're doing it again.

01:24:31.960 Elon Musk is, is doing more to save freedom of speech than anyone I know.

01:24:40.920 He has done more to, for space and to make it accessible to people more than Wernher von Braun, I believe.

01:24:51.220 He is also trying to save the planet by reinventing the car industry with Tesla.

01:24:57.960 And he's doing all three of them at the same time.

01:25:01.640 And yet, he's an enemy of the state.

01:25:05.340 Lock him in a tower.

01:25:07.240 We talked to a guy who has been following SpaceX in particular, Eric Berger.

01:25:14.880 He's with Ars Technica.

01:25:16.520 He's a senior space editor, but also the author of a book called Liftoff.

01:25:21.440 If you want to know what it was like in the early days of SpaceX, Liftoff is your book.

01:25:26.400 Eric joins me in 60 seconds.

01:25:29.560 First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

01:25:31.480 I'm a big fan of the free market.

01:25:33.120 I think people who founded this country understood the best way to exist in a society was to strive toward a balance of freedom and moral responsibility.

01:25:42.480 Individual responsibility.

01:25:44.720 We've lost our, all of our moral moorings and personal responsibility.

01:25:50.320 No, it's somebody else's fault now.

01:25:51.940 I am proud to partner with Patriot Mobile who believes in the Bill of Rights, who believes in personal responsibility.

01:26:00.860 And that when you go into capitalism in the free market, the best way to make money is to serve people and give them a better product, a cheaper product.

01:26:13.160 I shouldn't say cheaper.

01:26:14.140 A less expensive product.

01:26:15.860 And something that makes people's lives easier.

01:26:19.920 Right now, we are fighting on so many fronts.

01:26:23.040 And Patriot Mobile is, A, eliminating the problem that you might have with Verizon that they give so much money to Planned Parenthood.

01:26:31.940 Patriot Mobile doesn't.

01:26:33.420 In fact, they give their money, some of their profits, to First Amendment, Second Amendment.

01:26:40.120 You know, pretty much all the amendments, except for the tax one, I think.

01:26:43.840 But they are, they're for, and they fight for it in our communities, and they partner with other people that are fighting for it.

01:26:51.860 And they're all very open about it.

01:26:53.540 But they also give you a great service at a great price.

01:27:06.300 So, Eric Berger is Ars Technica Senior Space Editor, but he's also the author of two books, Liftoff, about the rise of SpaceX, and re-entry on the development of Falcon 9 rocket and also Dragon.

01:27:25.240 Eric, it's a pleasure to have you on the program.

01:27:27.820 Thank you.

01:27:28.900 Thank you, Glenn.

01:27:30.400 You bet.

01:27:30.780 So, am I that far off on putting Elon Musk into the Tesla, I hate to say it, but Edison for the credit he gets, you know, or even a Galileo?

01:27:47.780 He is a visionary of our time that I think has changed so much of our lives, and he doesn't get the credit.

01:27:56.320 In fact, he gets a lot of grief because of it.

01:27:58.880 Elon, I would say, is definitely a visionary.

01:28:03.920 He sees the world as he would like it to be in terms of space travel, in terms of electric vehicles, as you said, in terms of free speech.

01:28:13.900 I think perhaps more significantly than that even is he's a disruptor.

01:28:18.660 You know, he's really disrupted the automotive industry and especially the space industry.

01:28:24.740 So, you know, you're seeing what's going on.

01:28:28.540 I want to talk to you about with Boeing and stuff, but let me just first start with on freedom of speech.

01:28:35.980 He is being attacked now in Europe, in Brazil, like nobody's business.

01:28:42.440 And the United States government is actually helping those countries attack him.

01:28:50.020 He doesn't seem to bat an eye at it.

01:28:53.680 He seems like, I mean, if he had to go to jail for freedom of speech, he's going to jail.

01:28:58.620 It's an absolute with him.

01:28:59.760 Is that his personality?

01:29:00.820 He doesn't do well with regulations, you know, on the space side of things.

01:29:08.840 Like he's been always hemmed in by like the Federal Aviation Administration and other things like that.

01:29:13.720 And he has always sought to go through those kinds of agencies.

01:29:17.880 It's interesting with his purchase of Twitter is he's really sort of amped up the regulatory environment.

01:29:24.320 And especially in places like Europe, Brazil and other places is he's really run into a thicket of regulations.

01:29:31.500 And so in the past, it always has worked that he has been able to push through, push through.

01:29:36.680 And maybe he'll run into harder walls in these different environments.

01:29:41.220 I don't know.

01:29:42.140 It's going to be interesting to see what happens.

01:29:45.020 So let me talk about one of the things that he's doing that I just don't think people understand.

01:29:51.780 Boeing, my entire life, my uncle was, you know, one of the heads of safety and quality control at Boeing in Auburn as I was growing up.

01:30:05.360 And my family, lots of people worked at Boeing, and they were very, very proud.

01:30:10.080 It was an engineering company, and it was a company that all Americans believed in.

01:30:18.360 You know, you felt comfortable on a Boeing.

01:30:20.260 I was talking to a pilot, what, last weekend, and I said, how comfortable are you on this Boeing?

01:30:29.520 And he said, wish it was an Airbus.

01:30:32.180 I've never heard that before in my life.

01:30:34.840 Now, 10 years have gone by.

01:30:37.700 Boeing was the one that was leading in space.

01:30:41.000 And now Elon Musk is going to rescue the pilots of that Boeing spacecraft because they don't trust that it's going to be able to come down safely.

01:30:52.480 That's remarkable.

01:30:53.680 I agree.

01:30:55.900 It's absolutely remarkable.

01:30:56.880 And it's a complete turn of fate over the last 10 to 15 years when Boeing was not just a commercial aviation, but was the gold standard of spaceflight.

01:31:05.160 They were NASA's most important contractor.

01:31:08.120 And SpaceX were kind of the upstarts.

01:31:11.680 Lots of people in the agency, certainly in the human spaceflight community, did not trust them.

01:31:15.740 And now here we are 10 years later, and Crew Dragon is NASA's only ride to space for its astronauts.

01:31:23.100 And yeah, Starliner had some pretty serious thruster issues, Boeing spacecraft on the way to the space station.

01:31:29.140 And after a couple months of the study, NASA said, we don't feel comfortable bringing Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams back on Starliner.

01:31:34.880 So we're going to fly a Crew Dragon vehicle up to bring them back.

01:31:39.780 So can we talk a little bit about what was wrong with the spacecraft?

01:31:44.140 I mean, I remember when it took off, I said on the air, boy, do they know they're flying in a Boeing.

01:31:51.820 And I said, if this goes wrong, I can't imagine how Boeing stays in business.

01:31:59.480 I mean, if they blew up on exit or reentry, it would be the death of Boeing.

01:32:07.560 And I don't, you know, I suddenly don't hear very much about Boeing in the news.

01:32:15.180 What happened to this spacecraft?

01:32:18.260 What was wrong with it?

01:32:19.120 So even before it launched, it had a helium leak.

01:32:23.340 This basically pressurizes the propulsion system.

01:32:27.040 But it was a small leak.

01:32:28.360 And so NASA decided it was okay to launch.

01:32:30.780 It developed more helium leaks on the way to the space station.

01:32:33.880 But it turned out that wasn't really the biggest problem.

01:32:36.340 The problem was that five of the small thrusters, the RCS thrusters that helped point and orient the spacecraft and are critical to docking with the space station backing away from it, failed on the way.

01:32:49.660 And so NASA has essentially been conducting some ground tests with Boeing to try to assess the problem.

01:32:55.860 And they just haven't been able to understand the root cause of those failures.

01:32:59.800 And so they can't be sure that when, you know, if the astronauts were to try to fly home in it, that there would not be more problems and they would lose control of the spacecraft.

01:33:08.500 Right, because this positioning system, it is a very tight angle on reentry that you have to hit or you'll burn up, right?

01:33:21.620 And is that what we're afraid of?

01:33:23.800 There are two really critical phases of flight.

01:33:25.500 First is backing away from the space station.

01:33:28.120 Basically, you know, this is a $100 billion piece of hardware.

01:33:32.460 There's, you know, several astronauts and cosmonauts on board the space station.

01:33:36.740 So you don't want to hit the space station.

01:33:38.860 But then you're right.

01:33:39.760 You've got to position yourself precisely to come back where you want to land.

01:33:44.920 Starliner is supposed to land in White Sands, New Mexico.

01:33:49.140 And if you get the angle or position wrong, you come down somewhere, you know, could be a populated area, could be an ocean, certainly where people aren't prepared to get to the crew.

01:34:01.340 So the Dragon capsule, this is what's going to go pick them up.

01:34:05.960 And this is brand new or not from SpaceX?

01:34:09.920 No, no.

01:34:10.500 SpaceX has flown more than a dozen crewed missions to space.

01:34:15.880 This is actually the ninth operational mission for NASA on Crew Dragon.

01:34:21.280 So they've been flying Dragon since May of 2020 with people.

01:34:24.560 Who else is in competition for space?

01:34:29.020 In the United States, it's really SpaceX and then all the rest.

01:34:35.400 There are some other interesting private companies out there that are trying to do things.

01:34:40.400 But SpaceX is probably a decade ahead of a lot of their competitors.

01:34:44.460 Really, if you look across the world, the only real competitor to SpaceX and NASA is China, and it has a quasi-commercial space industry that's advancing and rising as well.

01:34:55.740 They're actually trying to copy a lot of what SpaceX is doing with both the Falcon rockets and the big Starship rockets they're building.

01:35:02.340 I bet.

01:35:03.660 I bet the Chinese are all over everything that Elon Musk does. 1.00

01:35:09.860 So is he still on schedule and still planning on going to Mars?

01:35:14.240 We have to go to the moon first and develop a base, right?

01:35:17.040 Yeah, it's the Starship vehicle that they're building in South Texas.

01:35:23.060 You know, your listeners may have seen some of those launches.

01:35:25.880 They are making steady progress there.

01:35:28.760 But it's going to be a while before humans launch and land on Starship because that vehicle, you know, is pretty ambitious.

01:35:37.080 And so they've got to do a lot of testing on it.

01:35:38.900 So I do think that we are on a path to sending humans to Mars and eventually settle Mars, but we're not talking years.

01:35:45.340 We're probably talking decades down the line.

01:35:48.220 So, Eric, you know, as the senior space editor of Ars Technica, I think you could answer this question.

01:35:57.340 First of all, it's a two-part question, and the first one's really easy.

01:36:00.340 And if it's complex, we have a problem.

01:36:02.020 But did we land on the moon, yes or no?

01:36:07.340 Of course we did, yes.

01:36:08.720 Okay, good.

01:36:09.280 Thank you.

01:36:10.220 Thank you.

01:36:10.940 I cannot believe how many people, I mean, really smart people that I know who have lost their faith in almost everything are now even questioning if we went to the moon.

01:36:22.920 And I can't take it.

01:36:24.300 I just can't take it.

01:36:26.400 But one of the questions that they keep saying is, Glenn, we did this in the 60s.

01:36:33.140 Why is it so hard?

01:36:34.600 Why are these spacecrafts, why are they having such a hard time even getting up to the space station, let alone the moon?

01:36:42.220 Could you answer that question, Eric?

01:36:44.640 Yeah, absolutely.

01:36:45.480 And that's a great question.

01:36:47.060 And the answer is that in the 1960s, you know, we spent 5% of the federal budget on this for the better part of a decade and 200,000 people.

01:36:56.820 And it was a national imperative to beat the Soviets to the moon. 0.57

01:37:00.580 There is not that geopolitical impetus behind going back to the moon, and so you've got to do it for less money and find other reasons.

01:37:08.640 And the reasons that NASA has settled on, and I think these are very valid good reasons, is that we're going to go to the moon to stay.

01:37:14.940 You know, the Apollo program was canceled because, you know, the missions were super expensive.

01:37:21.420 And, you know, we did it six times, and what was the point of continuing to go back?

01:37:25.140 And so now we're trying to go back more sustainably.

01:37:28.740 And that just means lower-cost missions, go there for longer periods, and eventually build up a base on the south pole of the moon.

01:37:35.120 And why would we do that?

01:37:37.620 Well, there's a couple reasons.

01:37:38.780 There is a geopolitical reason.

01:37:40.100 China's trying to do the very same thing. 1.00

01:37:41.680 They've partnered with Russia and some other countries, such as Iran, Venezuela, to build a research station to south pole of the moon.

01:37:49.760 And the reality is that south pole is the most interesting part of the moon from a resources standpoint.

01:37:56.300 We do believe there's ice, water ice at the poles, and potentially other interesting resources as well that we can tap.

01:38:04.280 And really, I mean, it is the next point on the horizon.

01:38:08.160 There are lots of strategic reasons to be on the moon or near the moon in terms of having a vantage point to look back at Earth.

01:38:17.080 And there will, you know, satellites you could, you know, theoretically, you could send weapons from beyond lunar orbit that would be very difficult for our existing assets to track coming back to the planet.

01:38:27.100 And so having vantage points out there is very important.

01:38:29.740 Can I ask you to hang for just one more minute, because I want to do a follow-up question on that.

01:38:36.520 We're talking to Eric Berger.

01:38:37.740 He's with Ars Technica.

01:38:39.840 He's the senior space editor and also the author of a couple of books really, really good all about SpaceX.

01:38:46.320 The first one is Liftoff.

01:38:49.780 And then the other book is Reentry.

01:38:52.660 Back in just a second.

01:38:53.660 First, let me tell you about blinds.com.

01:38:55.520 Back in the old days, if you wanted to get the blinds in your home replaced, well, you'd have some pushy salesperson come out to your house after you went to their store.

01:39:04.200 And then they'd schedule an appointment.

01:39:05.600 And then you'd wait all day.

01:39:07.240 And they most likely were late.

01:39:09.000 And you would agree to pay way too much after you waited for, well, I got to crunch the numbers.

01:39:13.960 Oh, my gosh.

01:39:14.680 What dark days.

01:39:17.580 Wow.

01:39:17.960 Are we lazy and spoiled?

01:39:19.140 Anyway, fortunately, blinds.com came along and changed everything with their online model.

01:39:26.080 Now it's easier than it's ever been to get the perfect window treatments for your home.

01:39:31.060 Tanya and I have done this several times.

01:40:13.860 Station ID.

01:40:15.500 So, Eric, the Chinese are landing on the dark side of the moon. 1.00

01:40:29.200 And this is really a strategically important place.

01:40:33.500 Why?

01:40:35.000 So they did land on the far side of the moon.

01:40:38.440 And the moon is not dark.

01:40:40.900 There's just a side that we do not see that is sometimes illuminated by the sun and sometimes not.

01:40:45.780 But it's important because it had never been done before.

01:40:49.140 And that was really a demonstration, a strategic demonstration of their abilities.

01:40:54.580 You know, it's not a place.

01:40:56.460 Why is it so hard?

01:40:57.340 It's so hard because you don't have direct line-of-sight communications.

01:41:01.980 So you have to put a relay spacecraft in orbit around the moon that can link you back to Earth.

01:41:07.460 And so, you know, when our astronauts landed on the moon, we had stations all around Earth that could talk to it at various times.

01:41:14.160 But the far side, we don't have those direct line of communications.

01:41:17.320 And that because of that, it makes it strategically important as well if you're looking out into space, if you're looking back in time, correct?

01:41:27.420 Because there's no interference.

01:41:30.440 Yeah.

01:41:30.800 For radio astronomy and things like that, it definitely is important.

01:41:33.320 But I think for China, really the point was to tell their people is we just did something that the great NASA never did.

01:41:40.320 So, you know, we're moving ahead of what the Americans can do.

01:41:44.440 I think that's really why they did it.

01:41:46.780 Are we that close with China?

01:41:50.360 Who's closest to us and how close is it?

01:41:54.340 So NASA is still substantially ahead of China in what it can do from an exploration standpoint.

01:42:01.220 But China has definitely made significant gains in the last 10 to 15 years.

01:42:07.060 And if, you know, if NASA takes a misstep or two, they will catch up and potentially surpass us.

01:42:14.640 So when you say NASA, are you including SpaceX or is that separate?

01:42:20.660 Yeah, it includes SpaceX.

01:42:22.940 SpaceX is now NASA's most important contractor.

01:42:26.800 And the two are pretty well intertwined.

01:42:29.700 The Artemis program to go back to the moon, SpaceX plays an important part of that as well.

01:42:34.360 And is Artemis going to go to the moon? 1.00

01:42:37.060 That's the plan.

01:42:38.780 The Artemis is going to land sometime later this decade.

01:42:41.460 They say 2026, but there's no way that's happening, Glenn.

01:42:44.580 Probably before the end of the decade.

01:42:47.720 There's just a lot of different elements that have to come together.

01:42:51.560 The Orion spacecraft has to prove that its heat shield works.

01:42:54.960 SpaceX has to get its Starship vehicle flying quite a bit, quite frequently.

01:42:58.920 We still need to develop spacesuits for the lunar surface. 0.96

01:43:03.320 And the overall architecture of the mission, the design is pretty complex.

01:43:07.640 How much do you think the astronauts in the Boeing played a role on, like, I'm not getting back into that thing.

01:43:14.320 I'm not going back.

01:43:15.560 It's a good question.

01:43:17.480 I think that their test pilots, they were going to do what they're told.

01:43:20.540 But the astronaut office here in Houston certainly had its concerns.

01:43:24.200 Yeah.

01:43:24.560 Yeah.

01:43:24.940 So would I.

01:43:25.860 Thank you so much, Eric.

01:43:27.400 Appreciate it.

01:43:28.340 And keep looking up.

01:43:29.920 God bless you.

01:43:30.600 Thank you.

01:43:30.900 Eric Berger, Ars Technica Senior Space Editor and the author of Liftoff.

01:43:35.560 Liftoff, and if you're into space at all, two really great books, especially about SpaceX.

01:43:43.480 Back in just a minute.

01:43:52.320 Glenn Beck.

01:43:53.900 Just looked at the schedule.

01:43:55.100 I forgot.

01:43:55.440 Chip Roy is coming up in just a minute.

01:43:57.080 So if you don't want to miss this one, believe me.

01:43:59.380 Have you fed your dog yet today?

01:44:01.500 How do you like it?

01:44:02.220 And if he liked it, how much nutritional good do you think it's doing him?

01:44:06.320 If it is kibble food, the unfortunate answer is probably not that much.

01:44:11.080 Just like your body, your dog's body is instinctively searching for things that will make him healthier and happier.

01:44:17.700 So the question is, since you're his homeowner, what can you do to make it better?

01:44:22.720 Well, the answer you're looking for, the answer I found with my dog, is rough greens.

01:44:26.600 And I really, truly believe.

01:44:28.060 I have no scientific basis to say this.

01:44:29.840 It's just my feeling.

01:44:32.360 Uno's the oldest German Shepherd we've had, and it's starting to be by far. 0.99

01:44:37.460 And the only difference is we have put rough greens on his food.

01:44:42.520 It has made him race to his bowl.

01:44:45.280 It has given him new energy and new life for, like, the first three years before he started to get older.

01:44:51.640 I mean, my gosh, it was like he was a puppy again.

01:44:54.400 They're confident your dog is going to love it, but they want to make sure, and they're going to send you a free trial bag.

01:44:58.960 You just pay for shipping.

01:45:00.400 You try it out.

01:45:01.480 Feed it to your dog and see the difference.

01:45:03.360 Roughgreens.com or 833-GLEN33.

01:45:07.320 Glenn's new book, Chasing Embers, is a bestseller.

01:45:09.700 It's out now.

01:45:10.540 Get it at glennbeck.com or wherever books are sold.

01:45:13.660 We've absolutely lost our mind.

01:45:30.140 You know, we've been talking for years now about the four dams, hydroelectric dams, that were, you know, they wanted to tear them down and get them out because of the indigenous peoples and the salmon.

01:45:44.660 And so they said that this was really, you know, hurting the salmon, and it may have been.

01:45:50.580 In fact, I think it's hard to make the claim that it didn't.

01:45:53.240 But it was four hydroelectric dams.

01:45:55.740 Did you ever hear, did you even hear about this?

01:45:59.120 This is the largest dam removal project in American history.

01:46:03.860 Four dams.

01:46:06.160 CNN just reported the largest dam removal project in U.S. history is finally complete.

01:46:12.100 After crews last week demolished the last of four dams on the Klamath River.

01:46:16.780 It's a significant win for tribal nations.

01:46:20.060 Good, good, good for them.

01:46:21.680 Good for them.

01:46:22.120 Four hydroelectric dams.

01:46:24.320 Gone.

01:46:25.740 Well, it's going to be fun to see how we get water and, you know, give irrigation to those farms and produce power for the Pacific Northwest.

01:46:35.400 But don't worry about it.

01:46:36.760 I'm sure it's no big deal.

01:46:38.100 Chip Roy is with us.

01:46:39.380 I want to talk to him about the SAVE Act.

01:46:42.220 Chip, how are you, sir?

01:46:44.500 Doing great, Glenn.

01:46:45.820 I wish I was with you, but I'm happily in Austin.

01:46:50.120 Oh, okay.

01:46:50.820 Well, Austin's, well, it is Austin, but it's still Texas.

01:46:54.580 So, Chip, talk to me about the SAVE Act.

01:46:57.540 This is, I cannot believe that the Democrats are standing against this in a time when we all are worried about the election integrity.

01:47:12.360 And they're saying we don't need to pass this act because we already have laws on the books that say non-citizens can't vote.

01:47:21.280 How disingenuous is that?

01:47:22.940 Well, it's disingenuous because, as you know, as I know, as your listeners know, Democrats have no interest whatsoever in ensuring election integrity.

01:47:32.560 In fact, they want the opposite.

01:47:34.080 They want non-citizens to vote. 0.98

01:47:36.120 That's what this is all about.

01:47:37.160 They've effectively said so.

01:47:38.700 Now, they're going to, during the campaign season, they're going to hide behind, oh, there's no problem here, right?

01:47:44.020 You heard Mark Kelly from Arizona go, oh, this is a solution in search of a problem.

01:47:49.460 Meanwhile, you have 6,500 non-citizens cleaned off the Texas rolls in the last couple of years.

01:47:55.400 You have 6,300 cleaned off Virginia's rolls.

01:47:58.640 You have thousands cleaned off of other states' rolls.

01:48:01.200 And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

01:48:02.740 Because if we actually had the tools to go, you know, discover the problem, which the SAVE Act would provide, by requiring that when you register to vote, this is a novel concept, Glenn.

01:48:13.060 You can't believe this crazy stuff, this radical stuff, that when you register to vote, you just need to demonstrate you're a citizen.

01:48:20.320 Democrats oppose it.

01:48:21.540 Now, I will note, five Democrats voted for our bill in July when we passed it.

01:48:26.500 All Republicans voted for it.

01:48:28.440 But again, this is all about control.

01:48:30.780 That's what the climate agenda is all about.

01:48:33.080 That's what the environmental agenda is all about.

01:48:35.140 They're all connected.

01:48:35.940 They're going to turn the dams down. 0.63

01:48:37.500 This is all about control, empowering the government.

01:48:40.900 This is all of the Marxism, the communism, the statism, the totalitarianism that Reagan fought, but that we are not remotely close to completing.

01:48:51.340 They're on the mark because they live among us.

01:48:53.960 That's the problem.

01:48:55.300 So how can they say that there's no problem here, in Arizona in particular?

01:49:00.780 In 2020, 11,600 no-proof-of-citizens-required federal ballots were cast in Arizona.

01:49:10.680 Joe Biden won Arizona by 10,457 votes.

01:49:16.060 So there were more non-citizens voting, and we know the non-citizens almost always vote for the Democrats.

01:49:25.440 How is this not a problem?

01:49:28.760 Well, it's not a problem if you're a Democrat who wants power.

01:49:32.180 That's the point.

01:49:33.560 I think the thing that I, you know, you know, you opened this segment talking about those dams.

01:49:38.460 You know, we could do a whole segment, and you talk about it all the time, about what's happening in the United Kingdom, the takeover that's happening there, what's happening in Ireland, what's happening in Germany.

01:49:48.960 It's real.

01:49:49.840 This isn't fake.

01:49:50.680 It's not like the churches are just magically, oh, yeah, those churches aren't burning in France.

01:49:54.560 It's not like, oh, yeah, that church in Ireland last week caught fire.

01:49:57.320 Oh, that's just a coincidence.

01:49:58.920 Like, this is happening, and it's happening right now.

01:50:01.940 The only reason we're slightly not as bad as Europe is the massive oceans on either side of us, but with the increase of air travel, with the porous border, America is only a nanosecond behind Europe.

01:50:15.960 So our whole point on the SAVE Act is to call their bluff and to force the question.

01:50:21.960 Now, I've got to say, because I know that some of your listeners, strong, awesome conservatives, are hearing a few of my conservative colleagues and some pundits say, gosh, why are we going to do a continuing resolution?

01:50:32.620 We hate continuing resolutions.

01:50:34.340 Why would we support that?

01:50:36.000 Well, here's why.

01:50:37.260 I don't like continuing resolutions.

01:50:38.760 I think they're garbage, except if I have the chance right now, heading into an election season, and I know we're not going to pass all 12 appropriations bills because a lot of our colleagues refuse to cut spending. 0.90

01:50:51.180 Democrats won't work with us. 0.99

01:50:52.660 We can't get all Republicans across the finish line.

01:50:55.140 We've only passed five of the 12.

01:50:57.520 My theory is this.

01:50:59.260 I don't want to have a lame duck CR in December.

01:51:03.220 That's what appropriators.

01:51:04.920 That's what Mitch McConnell.

01:51:06.300 That's what they want.

01:51:07.540 They want that pressure of Christmas.

01:51:09.920 They want the Christmas tree bill.

01:51:12.640 So let's do a CR in March.

01:51:14.960 Let's attach the SAVE Act.

01:51:16.940 Let's tell our Democratic colleagues, guys, we have funded your precious, god-awful government that we hate the EPA, and we hate all of the stuff with the FBI, and we hate the Secret Service failing to do its job, and we hate the open borders.

01:51:29.620 We're funding your government at current levels through March.

01:51:32.360 We're going to fight and fix this when Donald Trump wins in November and we have the House and the Senate.

01:51:36.360 We'll see you on Election Day in November.

01:51:39.320 You're going to vote for this with election integrity, or you're going to be the ones who decide to shut the government down.

01:51:45.340 I'm happy to have that.

01:51:46.320 I am thrilled to have that.

01:51:48.720 You don't have a country if you have illegals voting. 1.00

01:51:53.940 You won't have a country.

01:51:55.860 If you can't get this basic thing down, that citizens are the only ones to vote, and if it's already been done, then they should have no problem voting for it.

01:52:07.240 No problem whatsoever.

01:52:08.780 You would look at the other side.

01:52:11.360 If that were true, you would look at the other side and you'd go, if that's what you want, if that's what it's going to take, okay.

01:52:17.760 But they know it's not true.

01:52:20.600 And the Republicans, do you really think the Republicans are going to have the spine to stand up for this?

01:52:27.300 Well, I think that all depends on President Trump, and I don't mean that as a question about his fortitude.

01:52:33.280 We know his fortitude, right?

01:52:34.760 I mean, he got shot and he stood right back up.

01:52:37.540 I think the question here is whether or not the president is going to decide that it is in the strategic interest of him and the party and the House and the Senate for us to carry on the shutdown fight from October 1st to Election Day.

01:52:50.000 But if he wants to do that, and if that's the right thing for us to do, I'm all in.

01:52:54.480 Let's go.

01:52:55.760 But we'll make a decision on October 1st.

01:52:57.960 You know what I think about it.

01:52:59.660 Hell, I would pick a fight on bigger things.

01:53:02.440 I would have HR2 on it.

01:53:03.860 I would defund some stuff, and I would send them a funding bill, and I'd go send it to the American people and say, here are our priorities.

01:53:10.400 If Democrats don't like it, make that the Election Day issue.

01:53:14.480 Look, I'm going to be blunt.

01:53:16.020 I'm going to be honest.

01:53:16.580 I don't lie.

01:53:17.260 We have some colleagues who are in tight districts who will come into our conference and say, guys, I can't win the election if we have a shutdown and a quarter of my constituents or 10 percent or whatever are either not getting their paychecks because they're a government employee or they're not getting some benefit or they're whatever.

01:53:36.260 So we're going to have that fight inside the Republican conference in September.

01:53:40.080 I would fight.

01:53:41.540 I always will pick that fight.

01:53:43.200 But I'm happy to try to figure out how we navigate to get to November 5th.

01:53:47.420 But the starting place for that conversation is get the government spending past Christmas so the appropriators and the uniparty swamp dwellers on both parties can't screw the American people and pick a fight on the save act.

01:54:02.040 I'll trust President Trump to land the plane strategically.

01:54:05.260 You know, do we come up with some solution on September 30th and they campaign on it?

01:54:08.660 Do we let it shut down for a week or two or all the way to November 5th?

01:54:13.820 I'm game for any of those options, provided that we fight, provided that we put up a fight, demonstrate the fight and campaign on it.

01:54:22.720 Democrats are taking your country away, people.

01:54:25.580 We should act like it.

01:54:27.900 I'm fine if it shuts down, but I'm going to defer to some degree on President Trump and how he wants to lead.

01:54:33.220 He's the leader of the party right now.

01:54:34.500 Yeah, no, the leader has to, he has to be part of it.

01:54:38.500 If he, if he waffles it all, it'll all fall apart.

01:54:41.240 How are we doing in Congress for the elections?

01:54:44.420 It looks not so great.

01:54:48.060 Well, you know, look, here's the one thing I'll tell you, because a lot of the people that you and I are friends, your listeners, they will come to me out on the campaign trail and they'll say, well, why should I bother voting?

01:54:59.180 I mean, you know, they're going to rig the election.

01:55:01.100 Well, there's one way to guarantee we lose the election, and that's to not show up.

01:55:05.720 Do you have to show up?

01:55:07.400 The second thing is we've got to be too big to rig.

01:55:10.980 President Trump has said that.

01:55:12.260 He's right.

01:55:13.040 Show up in overwhelming numbers.

01:55:15.220 Demonstrate that we want our country back.

01:55:16.960 If all of your listeners, families, friends, you know, churchmates, all the people that they drag their family, their kids and everything vote, we'll win and we'll win in overwhelming numbers.

01:55:26.720 Let's overwhelm them.

01:55:27.540 Now, I know that's all sort of big talk.

01:55:29.960 The third point really is we've got to stand for something, and I want Republicans to be united in this in the fall.

01:55:36.180 That's why I think having the CR and the Save Act is a good fight.

01:55:39.540 But it is a tight election.

01:55:41.240 I'm going to tell you it's tighter than it should be.

01:55:43.100 That's because we have a divided country.

01:55:44.720 It's because of our education system has been corrupting our youth now for at least two or three generations.

01:55:49.660 It's because of some of the questions of all of the ballots and all of the mail-in ballots and the ballot harvesting and all of that.

01:55:55.480 We've improved it some since 2020.

01:55:58.760 You know, Texas, Georgia, other states that have notably made some changes.

01:56:03.320 Wisconsin is still not great.

01:56:05.060 Pennsylvania is still a question.

01:56:06.260 Arizona is kind of some good, some bad.

01:56:08.360 So we're going to have to do what we need to do to make sure we have poll watchers.

01:56:13.080 I know the RNC, Laura Trump, Michael Watley, they've been working on making sure we've got the lawyers in place.

01:56:18.580 We were flat-footed in 2020.

01:56:20.040 But I'm just telling everybody on the ground, get out and vote.

01:56:24.400 Overwhelm them, right?

01:56:25.720 And that's the best way to guarantee the outcome that we need to have.

01:56:29.220 But the short answer to your question is the presidential is a coin-tossed lean Trump.

01:56:35.100 The House is a probable that we end up roughly where we are with a very thin majority.

01:56:39.980 But we could get you.

01:56:42.280 The Senate, we should take.

01:56:43.900 But it'll be 51-2 or 3.

01:56:45.740 So we've got to do our work to boost those numbers and make sure Ted Cruz wins and me and everybody else.

01:56:51.780 You know, when you have Kamala Harris bussing people in to, I think it was New Hampshire for her rally. 0.98

01:57:00.420 I mean, like 30 buses of people were shipped in from another state.

01:57:06.900 That shows you something.

01:57:08.760 That shows you that this is not real.

01:57:11.000 And, you know, I'm hoping that the discouragement of the Democrats, that they start seeing these things.

01:57:19.920 You know, there are so many encouraging signs that we are right at the tipping point here.

01:57:26.940 We're just a little more of this and it's over for the Democrats.

01:57:31.160 But if they win in this fall, Chip, I don't know how America makes it.

01:57:40.400 I mean, everything that they've been planning for this global government, all of this stuff, it hits next year.

01:57:48.400 Yeah.

01:57:48.660 I mean, Glenn, I can go down a parade of horribles.

01:57:50.560 We know about the 5.5 people that have been released.

01:57:53.840 We know about the fentanyl.

01:57:54.720 We know about the international organizations, the 2 million gotaways.

01:57:57.460 We know about the cartels' reach.

01:57:58.760 We know about what you're talking about, the United Nations, the World Health Organization, all of the crap they're doing, what they're doing, reparations.

01:58:05.300 You know what nobody's talking about?

01:58:07.120 Record numbers of citizens that have been made and processed during this administration, moving people through the citizenship path.

01:58:14.940 I don't know who they are or where they're from.

01:58:16.620 We're trying to get that information.

01:58:18.400 They want to remake America. 0.85

01:58:20.380 This election is a worldview election.

01:58:22.320 This is about your way of life.

01:58:23.960 This isn't about any personalities one way or the other.

01:58:26.200 If you love Trump, if you're not a big fan, I don't really give a damn.

01:58:29.360 What I care about is we need to save freedom.

01:58:32.700 President Trump loves America, loves freedom.

01:58:35.720 He wants us to have this country for us and for the people.

01:58:39.220 He doesn't have to be doing this.

01:58:41.100 And, you know, look, I've been on your show where I've disagreed with him.

01:58:44.300 I don't, you know, I don't mince words.

01:58:48.040 But opposition in all things, it's required.

01:58:51.860 It's required.

01:58:53.280 This is not a hard question.

01:58:55.100 We have a job to do.

01:58:57.060 Let's go save our country for our kids and grandkids.

01:58:59.540 Because if Kamala Harris is the president on January 20th, we're in real trouble.

01:59:04.380 We're in epic trouble.

01:59:05.880 We're in 1850s type trouble.

01:59:08.280 And we've got to make sure that we do our part to solve that problem right now by overwhelming the Democrats at the polls.

01:59:17.800 Don't listen to all of the naysayers.

01:59:19.720 It can and probably will be a close election.

01:59:22.700 And I hope we stretch it out and run through the tape.

01:59:25.760 But the only way to do that is show up now.

01:59:30.340 Thank you so much.

01:59:32.620 You please stay in touch with me when if there's anything the audience can do, please.

01:59:37.800 The safe act, a safe act has got to go through.

01:59:41.040 All right.

01:59:41.900 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

01:59:44.280 It's American Financing.

01:59:45.880 It's hard to overstate the value of being at the right place at the right time.

01:59:48.820 And right now, the right place is probably American Financing because the time is ripe.

01:59:54.800 If you're a fiscally responsible homeowner, then you know and you've saved your whole life to get everything done and done right.

02:00:05.760 But now, maybe because of inflation, you have these high interest credit card debt that you have to pay off and you had to have used.

02:00:14.100 I've been telling you about American Financing for years because they have changed lives.

02:00:19.080 They have saved people's houses.

02:00:20.800 They're saving the average Glenn Beck listener about $830 every single month.

02:00:26.360 They'll save you a ton of money and they'll give you a free analysis.

02:00:30.520 So, I mean, even if you don't think you're in trouble, let them look at everything and say, no, you're pretty good.

02:00:35.700 Or, you know, you have this option or this option, which might help you.

02:00:38.700 And then you decide, now is the time, right place, right time, American Financing.

02:00:45.820 Call them, AmericanFinancing.net, AmericanFinancing.net, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net.

02:01:30.620 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

02:01:33.240 You know, what's happening in Aurora, Colorado is coming.

02:01:37.180 There's some new video out as they went into one of these apartment complexes that have been taken over by this Venezuelan gang. 1.00

02:01:45.240 Look at what the apartment looks like.

02:01:48.180 And, Stu, maybe you can do some play-by-play as you're walking in.

02:01:52.460 You're seeing this apartment complex.

02:01:54.540 It's just destroyed.

02:01:55.280 I mean, there's, you know, everything on the floor, couches ripped apart, you know, everything.

02:02:02.500 The sink is just revolting, honestly.

02:02:06.760 You know, they just, they tore out all of the light switches, the outlets.

02:02:10.980 I mean, this is what's coming.

02:02:14.480 And they are demanding that people pay their rent directly to the Venezuelan gang.

02:02:20.280 And where is the police on this?

02:02:22.200 Where are they?

02:02:23.320 Why is no one standing up on the federal government and saying, enough is enough right now?
