00:02:15 J.D. Vance out talking about socialism.

00:02:17 Fraud.

00:02:18 Had some interesting things to say.

00:02:20 Looking like he's running.

00:02:22 Yeah.

00:02:22 looking at presidential he and marco both lately have been showing the sign yes they have of yep

00:02:29 we're running for president so we'll get into that and more coming up in one minute there are

00:02:35 situations where you know something is wrong long before you know exactly how wrong how wrong it's

00:02:41 going to get somebody's behaving aggressively they're getting closer they're ignoring every

00:02:46 signal you're giving them to back off, and now you have to make a decision. Except the choices

00:02:53 available to you suddenly seem incredibly extreme. That space between doing nothing and using lethal

00:03:00 force is exactly where Burna Launcher makes sense. Burna gives you a powerful, less lethal way to

00:03:06 defend yourself and the people you care about from a distance. It looks and handles like a serious

00:03:12 defensive tool because that's exactly what it is. Launching projectiles capable of stopping a threat

00:03:18 without requiring you to make an irreversible decision in a matter of seconds.

00:03:24 Because real-life danger doesn't arrive with a label telling you exactly how far it's going to

00:03:29 go, sometimes you need the ability to protect yourself immediately while still having an option

00:03:35 between helplessness and lethal force. That's why having a Berna nearby can fundamentally change

00:03:41 the choices available to you when those

00:03:43 choices matter most.

00:03:45 So visit Burna.com 0.95

00:03:47 B-Y-R-N-A

00:03:48 Burna.com and find the right

00:03:51 launcher for your family.

00:03:53 That's Burna.com

00:03:54 Well, it looks

00:03:58 a lot like

00:04:01 a presidential run is being

00:04:03 set up by J.D. Vance.

00:04:05 I really think, you know, I think it's pretty

00:04:07 obvious that he's going to run in

00:04:08 2028. Yes.

00:04:10 And I think Marco Rubio makes a lot of sense to run, too.

00:04:15 I know.

00:04:15 It would just be tough to choose between the two of them.

00:04:18 Look, we talked about this the other day on one of our shows that, you know,

00:04:23 you have J.D. Vance and you have Marco Rubio and you have Ron DeSantis.

00:04:30 We're the only ones that ever talk about Ron DeSantis anymore, but I love him.

00:04:34 I think he's great.

00:04:36 So, I mean, those three are so strong.

00:04:39 Yeah, they are.

00:04:40 And who's going to be number two for those guys?

00:04:44 Are any of those guys willing to be number two for the other?

00:04:48 I don't think so.

00:04:49 I think the answer to that is no.

00:04:50 No.

00:04:52 No.

00:04:53 I think they're all three beyond that.

00:04:55 So, okay.

00:04:56 And I don't disagree with that.

00:04:58 But so then what do we have?

00:05:01 We have, and we'll get to the JD clips and we'll get to those.

00:05:04 But then what do we have?

00:05:06 because now we're infighting hard now i do i think and do i think just because we're infighting that

00:05:14 that gives aoc a better chance no but still i mean we're just going to tear ourselves apart

00:05:22 to get to one of those three man i don't want to do that be a shame yeah yeah i don't want to do

00:05:28 that yeah and you know first first of all jd can't run as second banana he can't be the vice

00:05:35 presidential nominee again he can't i mean he's not gonna do that he's not gonna do it no no way

00:05:41 he's not gonna do that so the only marco could run with him but i don't know if he wants to i mean

00:05:47 he is i mean i know that he's not vice president but he really is kind of like two and a half

00:05:53 already uh the only guy that's out is desantis and he's kind of lingering you know hanging on

00:06:00 kind of still be there

00:06:03 and Florida's great and I would love

00:06:05 for Ron DeSantis just to be the traveling

00:06:07 governor and

00:06:09 you know apparently

00:06:10 some people want him to come to Texas

00:06:12 I want him to go to states

00:06:14 that need more help than we do

00:06:17 I don't know

00:06:18 I don't know

00:06:19 I want Texas

00:06:23 to stay Texas

00:06:25 then we need Ron DeSantis

00:06:26 then we need Ron DeSantis for that

00:06:28 yeah uh but here was uh jd vance and uh talking about socialism and you know the young the youth

00:06:38 in our country are so drawn to it and so he's kind of discussing that our response to socialism

00:06:45 which is a dangerous and destructive ideology it's been tried in the past and failed our response to

00:06:51 that can't be just to ignore the economic concerns that i think are feeding this rising interest in

00:06:56 socialism. And I guess I would say to that young person that you as an American citizen deserve to

00:07:02 have a good life in this country, and you deserve to have a government that is making it easier for

00:07:07 you to start a family, for you to afford to get a good education, for you to have a good job,

00:07:12 for you to afford a home. And what I would also say is that whilst these things sometimes take a

00:07:16 little bit of time, we are already seeing the positive results come from the president's

00:07:21 economic policies. We're seeing trillions of dollars of new investment into this country,

00:07:26 which means good middle-class jobs for young people, middle-income people all across our

00:07:33 country. We're seeing housing prices finally stabilize. They doubled during the Biden

00:07:38 administration. They have finally kind of flatlined during the first year and a half of the Trump

00:07:43 administration. We also want to get interest rates down, of course, so that young people can 0.98

00:07:47 afford a home. We want people to be able to afford the good things about this wonderful country that

00:07:53 we all live in. And my warning to my fellow Republicans, Will, would be if we don't get this

00:07:59 right, don't blame young people for being sympathetic to socialism. We've got to blame

00:08:04 ourselves. And I think what is so unique and refreshing about Donald Trump's economic policies

00:08:09 is that it's not the same old economic ideas that you would have heard 30, 40 years ago. He's

00:08:16 talking about rebuilding our industrial base rebuilding the heartland making our streets

00:08:22 safer making it possible for young people to afford to buy a home this is how you stop socialism

00:08:28 you don't stop socialism by throwing slogans at people about the free market as much as i love

00:08:33 the free market you stop socialism by making people's lives better and that's what we're

00:08:38 trying to do every single day okay yeah i mean that makes sense it does some would ask how's that

00:08:44 going some would ask that uh we've asked that how is that going i knew i knew i heard it somewhere

00:08:51 how is that going right now uh again the gas prices are too high you know it's not a good

00:08:58 time to ask that question really because the prices are high so i'm not i guess we're not

00:09:03 gonna ask it and the president said the other day they're falling quickly not really no that's not

00:09:09 really true sadly it's not true in my neighborhood no the gas stations that i pass every day or the

00:09:16 grocery stores for that matter i mean the grocery prices are going down and they're not gonna go

00:09:21 down until the gas prices go down and the gas prices are going to go down until we get the

00:09:25 strait of hormuz and the iran thing straightened out indeed that's exactly right uh let's let's

00:09:31 let's get on that yeah let's get on that yeah and i know you know he certainly believes that

00:09:38 the Strait of Hormuz is ours and it's done and that he's said it.

00:09:43 Yeah, and that we're in complete control of it.

00:09:45 That's what the man said, and I believe him.

00:09:49 Do you?

00:09:50 That we're in complete control of the Strait of Hormuz.

00:09:53 The President of the United States.

00:09:55 I realize that.

00:09:56 We have the strongest navy in the world.

00:09:57 They don't have one.

00:09:58 That's true.

00:09:59 Well, theirs is at the bottom of the ocean.

00:10:01 What about their Air Force?

00:10:02 It's completely obliterated.

00:10:04 Do they have a nuke?

00:10:05 No.

00:10:06 No.

00:10:07 however they keep attacking ships that go through the strait and that's a problem we need to put a

00:10:13 stop to that yeah we need to put that that needs to stop no question yes and whoever we're dealing

00:10:19 with needs to know that that needs to stop and i was i was hoping that his threat of the world

00:10:25 war ii bombing would actually take place yeah uh because i think that's what they will understand

00:10:31 Then they will realize, ooh, maybe we do need to stop it.

00:10:36 Until then, I don't know that that's true.

00:10:38 Yeah, they've not received that message yet.

00:10:40 And they need to.

00:10:41 That needs to be the message that they clearly understand.

00:10:45 But the president has kind of turned this over to Scott Besant.

00:10:49 And I think this strategy now is to make it so difficult for them economically

00:10:57 to destroy their economy to the extent where that brings them to their knees.

00:11:03 Which, you know.

00:11:05 And maybe that'll work.

00:11:05 Maybe it will.

00:11:06 I don't know.

00:11:06 Maybe it will.

00:11:08 It's going to take a little time, though, I'm afraid.

00:11:11 And that's the problem, really.

00:11:13 With the midterms coming up, and again, we've talked about this.

00:11:18 Around the corner.

00:11:18 The first states start to vote September 18th.

00:11:22 I think there's five that start in September with early voting.

00:11:26 And so we don't have a lot of time here to be messing around.

00:11:30 No things need to turn around.

00:11:32 Yeah.

00:11:32 So I don't know if Besson can apply that kind of pressure that quickly.

00:11:36 I don't know.

00:11:36 I mean, I appreciate what the president is attempting to do.

00:11:40 Yeah.

00:11:40 And I want it to work.

00:11:42 I do too.

00:11:43 Yeah, I do too.

00:11:44 And I appreciate the fact he doesn't like killing people.

00:11:47 Right.

00:11:47 And he doesn't want to destroy Iran or their infrastructure

00:11:53 because not only does that hurt the people of Iran,

00:11:56 it hurts everybody else, too.

00:11:58 You start bombing Karg Island or whatever we plan to do there,

00:12:02 that's going to hurt other countries with the oil situation. 0.94

00:12:06 Sure.

00:12:07 That doesn't seem ideal.

00:12:09 No, it doesn't, but you make the case maybe they could be helping out a little,

00:12:13 those other countries that are so dependent on Karg Island.

00:12:18 Yeah.

00:12:18 Where are they?

00:12:20 Well, they're nowhere.

00:12:20 Where are they?

00:12:21 They're not doing anything.

00:12:22 They're nowhere doing nothing.

00:12:25 Right.

00:12:25 That's another problem.

00:12:27 I know.

00:12:27 And, you know, President Trump has expressed some frustration with that, and he should.

00:12:31 And he absolutely should.

00:12:32 Because we've had nobody with us on this.

00:12:34 Nobody. 0.84

00:12:34 Saudi Arabia.

00:12:35 I mean, Saudi Arabia is the only one, right?

00:12:37 Well, pretty much, yeah.

00:12:38 Yeah.

00:12:39 They're probably our best ally in this particular situation. 0.98

00:12:44 Next to maybe Israel? 0.80

00:12:46 Yeah.

00:12:47 And even with Israel, we've had some issues.

00:12:49 Yeah, but they're still a strong ally.

00:12:52 But Israel and Saudi Arabia, boy, there's a couple.

00:12:56 But England, nowhere to be found.

00:12:57 Germany, nowhere to be found.

00:12:59 France.

00:13:00 Spain.

00:13:01 Spain.

00:13:02 They're more like an enemy than an ally.

00:13:06 Spain actually is.

00:13:08 Yeah, they are.

00:13:09 Yeah.

00:13:09 So it's a difficult one.

00:13:13 It's really a tough situation.

00:13:16 But, you know, we're in it.

00:13:18 and the jeff fisher theme once you're in it you're in it that's facts are facts and we're

00:13:26 we're in it right now uh but jd also had some things to say about stopping fraud because that's

00:13:32 another important issue it's not it's not a foreign entanglement but it's something that

00:13:37 we've got to stop here in america because we're already 40 trillion dollars in debt and we don't

00:13:43 want to get further into debt. Here's what he said about stopping fraud. What's the most brazen

00:13:48 fraud scam you've seen so far? Oh, well, that's the toughest question I've ever been asked,

00:13:56 because so many of these things are so brazen. I mean, look, I really do think that it's hard to

00:14:02 top the Medicaid fraud that we saw in the Minneapolis area, where you had primarily

00:14:08 Somali immigrants who came to the country some of whom who didn't even have children but were

00:14:14 billing Medicaid for services provided to autistic children I mean it's it's one thing to engage in 0.99

00:14:20 fraud it's one thing to lie about a disorder that your child has when they actually don't have that

00:14:25 disorder but it's something truly extraordinary to actually collect services for children that

00:14:32 you don't actually have why so that's got to be at the top of my list but will I got to say man

00:14:37 And while it is hard sometimes to put a stop to the fraud, it's hard to prevent the money from going out the door.

00:14:43 And, of course, once it's gone out the door, it's very hard to get the money back.

00:14:47 Finding fraud, there's just so much of it. 0.67

00:14:50 I mean, you asked about this Chinese marriage scheme.

00:14:52 There were thousands of people who were actually getting paid money to marry somebody that they had never met before so that that person could get access to American citizenship and all the benefits that come from it.

00:15:07 There's all the Medicaid fraud. There's the food stamps fraud. There's the small business

00:15:11 administration fraud. There's this gender transition fraud. The unfortunate reality, 0.80

00:15:16 Will, is that fraud in Washington, D.C. was as common as bad weather. And bad weather is very

00:15:22 common in Washington. So we've got a problem here. We're fixing that problem. But it's going to take

00:15:28 us a long time to root out all this fraud because there was so much allowed to fester during the 0.87

00:15:32 biden administration and really beyond that yeah yeah yeah i mean they just launched the uh white

00:15:40 house.gov slash fraud uh page uh the fraud ledger that you can go to and it breaks down all the

00:15:47 fraud and by different uh different agencies and how much uh fraud they've uncovered and stopped

00:15:54 pretty interesting you know hhs has uncovered 96.2 billion stopped 46.1 billion uh enforced 30.5

00:16:03 billion i mean that's just across the board that's one one department agency across the board yeah

00:16:09 so i mean that's uh you know they're really working on the fraud yeah i mean that's

00:16:13 impressive let's let's get it all for sure yeah uh i i would love that yeah that's what doge was

00:16:20 supposed to do i thought that as well yeah i it's funny you say that because i thought that's what

00:16:25 doge was doing yeah yeah although we still have the fraud and right we hated doge i didn't but

00:16:33 no i didn't but i mean the world hated doge yeah uh you know we they were starving hundreds of

00:16:40 thousands of people died because of yes of what doge did more like uh some estimates jeffy have

00:16:47 We got it like 4 million people died.

00:16:49 Really?

00:16:49 Yeah.

00:16:50 Yeah, yeah, because of what Doge did.

00:16:51 I wasn't aware of that, yeah.

00:16:52 Just piles of dead bodies everywhere.

00:16:54 Those are the new bodies they counted.

00:16:55 Because, you know, they stopped things like, well, I can't even get into it.

00:17:04 There was so much fraud.

00:17:05 There was a lot of fraud that they stopped, and people were very angry about it.

00:17:11 I will tell you that.

00:17:12 Americans have been funding the following, $5.5 million to LGBTQ advocacy in Uganda, $800,000 for transgender people, sex workers, and their clients in Nepal, $3.6 million for LGBTQ activism, free training in pastry cooking, psychosocial counseling, a cyber cafe, and the dance focus groups for male prostitutes in Haiti,

00:17:39 and $1.1 million to produce gender transformation

00:17:43 in diverse social and behavior change report,

00:17:46 which advocates, again, quote, gender blindness. 0.65

00:17:49 So you can't survive that. 0.97

00:17:51 That's why there's so many dead people,

00:17:52 because we took away that money.

00:17:54 So this is a new way to come at that without dead bodies.

00:17:58 Yes.

00:17:58 With the ledger page on the WhiteHouse.gov website.

00:18:02 Thank heaven, because you don't want any of that going on.

00:18:07 I mean, you don't want the dance troupe, the LGBTQ dance troupe in Nepal to be doing without their funds, right? 0.99

00:18:17 No, you do not. 1.00

00:18:17 Because it's either they get those funds or they become whores. 1.00

00:18:22 There's one or the other. 0.99

00:18:23 We just read that earlier in the week.

00:18:25 We did.

00:18:26 There's two things they can do. 1.00

00:18:28 They can do the dance troupe or they can be whores. 1.00

00:18:33 So it's up to you. 1.00

00:18:33 There's no in between.

00:18:34 No in between. 1.00

00:18:35 Not in Nepal, anyway.

00:18:36 No. All right. 888-727-BECK. More coming up in one minute.

00:20:11 Again.

00:20:12 She is phenomenal.

00:20:15 She was at some, I guess, a socialist conference.

00:20:19 Well, they get together.

00:20:20 You know, the socialists get together.

00:20:22 They get together.

00:20:22 They have a conference.

00:20:24 I don't know if there was dinner served, drinks served.

00:20:28 I don't either.

00:20:28 I think it may have just been a panel there for the conference that she was proudly part of. 0.83

00:20:33 She is every bit as bad as her brother, if not worse.

00:20:39 I mean, what a family they are.

00:20:41 They're some fun.

00:21:21 Yeah.

00:21:22 Yes.

00:21:22 Now they're transitioning.

00:21:24 Wow.

00:21:24 They both consider themselves eligible now for the WNBA.

00:21:28 And, boy, the WNBA is in a real tough little pickle for them.

00:21:34 Yeah, they are. 0.97

00:21:34 Because they're going to have to declare themselves a female only, a biological female. 1.00

00:21:41 Look, only if you were born a female are you eligible to play in the WNBA, 0.53

00:21:46 and they will not do that right now. 1.00

00:21:48 But they're going to have to.

00:21:50 They're going to have to. 1.00

00:21:51 Because if you start allowing actual men into the WNBA, it's over. 0.98

00:21:57 It's over. Done.

00:21:59 There's a trans person playing in France right now, Julie Taitard. 1.00

00:22:04 Yeah.

00:22:05 And that person is averaging 20 points and 20 rebounds per game.

00:22:12 So he's doing fairly well.

00:22:13 Doing fairly well in the league.

00:22:15 Fairly well.

00:22:15 Dominating the French league.

00:22:17 Yeah.

00:22:17 And that person said that they are all about coming to the WNBA if they're asked.

00:22:23 Of course they are.

00:22:24 Yeah.

00:22:25 Yep.

00:22:25 I mean, why wouldn't you be?

00:22:29 And it's just they can't allow it.

00:22:31 They're just not going to be able to allow it.

00:22:34 No.

00:22:34 And so it's going to be interesting.

00:22:36 They're going to have to set their liberal sensibilities, their progressive side. 0.97

00:22:40 They're going to have to push that away and make the right decision for their dumb league. 1.00

00:22:47 And that's the only, only biological females can play in this league. 1.00

00:22:52 We'll see if that happens, but, uh, that and so much more coming up. 1.00

00:23:04 Cozy Earth's mission is to transform the time that matters most.

00:23:08 Your sleep into the most comfortable part of your day.

00:23:11 Sleeping in a cooler environment offers several scientifically supported benefits.

00:23:14 studies show that cooler temperatures promote the natural release of melatonin. This leads to a

00:23:19 faster sleep onset, better mood regulation, and significantly improved sleep quality. That is

00:23:25 exactly why Cozier's premium sheets are just such a game changer. Tanya and I love the sheets in the 0.95

00:23:30 heat of Florida or here at the ranch. These sheets give our bed the luxurious feel and comfort for

00:23:35 great sleep. Made from viscose from bamboo, they naturally wick away heat and moisture from your

00:24:14 it's pat and jeffy for glenn today uh and here is jeffy with the fabulous fat five

00:24:40 All right, three different people in the U.S. yesterday,

00:24:44 all killed by lethal injection.

00:24:50 Anthony Daryl Hines, 66 in Tennessee,

00:24:52 Jeremy Williams, 41 in Alabama,

00:24:55 and Carlos Cuesta Rodriguez, 71 in Oklahoma.

00:24:58 It's the first time the U.S. has executed three people in a single day since 2010.

00:25:05 According to officials, this is simply a scheduling coincidence.

00:25:08 It follows another rare event.

00:25:09 last month when florida executed two people in one day executions in the u.s are rising driven by a

00:25:15 small number of states in the south and southwest while others are moving to limit capital punishment

00:25:20 11 states executed 47 people last year in 2025 the highest since 2009 so far 19 people have been

00:25:30 executed this year in 2026 uh by the end of uh you know by the end of today or that would be

00:25:36 yesterday there that number is 22 uh that's because we got three more uh the death penalty

00:25:41 is currently illegal uh at the federal level as well in 27 states although four of those have

00:25:47 placed a moratorium on executions president donald trump has made expanding its focus from

00:25:53 having the justice department prioritize capital punishment for certain crimes to adopting firing

00:25:59 squads uh this is there's a couple of states that uh now allow firing squads lethal injection

00:26:04 and I think hanging as well.

00:26:08 Utah is one of those.

00:26:09 You can choose, I think.

00:26:11 I think when you get the death penalty in Utah, you choose.

00:26:13 Yeah, what you want.

00:26:14 Either the lethal injection, firing squad, or I think electric chair is the other one.

00:26:19 Or maybe it's electric chair and maybe that's not hanging, yeah.

00:26:23 A recent Pew survey shows that the public support for the death penalty

00:26:27 has increased in recent years.

00:26:30 66% are now in favor if those are convicted of murder.

00:26:34 So it's up 6% in five years.

00:26:38 So, yeah.

00:26:38 And look, that's why you get the death penalty, right,

00:26:40 is because it was a horrific murder that you were found guilty of.

00:26:44 And, you know, I know that a lot of people are against that execution

00:26:50 because there have been some that have been wrong.

00:26:53 But we go through so many hoops to make sure that that is the right person

00:26:58 that I, you know, I would rather have these people off the planet.

00:27:03 It's a permanent mistake when you make a mistake.

00:27:05 And so that makes it, you know, that makes it more difficult.

00:27:08 Sorry.

00:27:09 Yeah.

00:27:12 That's very tender.

00:27:13 Yeah.

00:27:13 That's very tender and sensitive.

00:27:15 Sorry.

00:27:16 Yeah.

00:27:17 What else are we supposed to say?

00:27:18 Oopsie daisies.

00:27:19 What else are we supposed to say? 1.00

00:27:21 Darn it. 0.99

00:27:23 I mean, for the most part. 1.00

00:27:25 Okay.

00:27:26 So, I mean, that's, that's another argument because they're not really good people anyway.

00:27:30 So, uh, Bill Gates, uh, the Nepo baby daughter, uh, Phoebe Gates, uh, 23 has been accused of 0.96

00:27:36 cookie stuffing at her multi-billion dollar startup, uh, FIA, uh, P-H-I-A, uh, on a little, 0.86

00:27:44 uh, illicit practice that comes with maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison. 0.54

00:27:49 Will that ever happen?

00:27:50 Uh, no.

00:27:51 Uh, the digital personal shopping assistant co-founded by Gates with fellow Stanford alum

00:27:56 Sophia Kahani, uh, reacted with shock in July.

00:27:59 shock i tell you following reports that it was dropping more web cookies than it should

00:28:05 uh taking undue credit for online sales at retail partners as soon as she found out the mistake

00:28:11 jeffy she corrected it immediately thank you just as soon as she realized oh my gosh what what oh i

00:28:21 won't hear of it and she fixed it immediately and listen within they pledged to fix the glitch

00:28:27 And that's according, you know, the young entrepreneurs had known.

00:28:31 Now, they claim, you know, the detractors have claimed that they knew about this for months that it was happening. 0.94

00:28:38 Oh, that's silly.

00:28:39 No, absolutely not.

00:28:41 Thank you.

00:28:42 That's a lie.

00:28:43 Any features causing misattributions were immediately removed when we found out we're reviewing every transaction.

00:28:50 transaction we are fully committed to and have already begun issuing all transaction reversals

00:28:56 to our brand partners as a result of any misattribution we're still hiring uh right

00:29:02 now we're going to hire a head of compliance it's interesting they didn't have one already

00:29:06 to make sure something like this never happens again we are now continuing to connect our users

00:29:12 with items and offers from thousands of brand partners uh so that's you know don't you even

00:29:18 worry about that because uh we're we've got that taken care of and then right there my email on

00:29:24 this computer just closed oh wow that's uh you're fat too until i open up the email on my phone uh

00:29:34 so yeah i'd like to have this back open again would be wonderful uh because i wanted to uh i

00:29:39 love it when the email system just crashes just shut off just we know what we're just going to

00:29:44 shut down uh sure you were using it and uh doing stories wrong but we don't care don't care we

00:29:51 don't care and it's a good thing i didn't have to restart the whole thing for a for a new password

00:29:57 uh anyway only because we were at the end of the cookie stuffing story and i'm sure that uh you

00:30:01 know your family is well aware of cookie stuffing oh yeah uh different over there than the world of

00:30:06 kexy.com though no we've actually sold the uh cookies oh that we yeah yeah yeah people have

00:30:13 actually bought the cookies okay that we send them is are they still available yes they are

00:30:18 at keksi.com and that's where you could get eksi.com exactly right interesting yeah uh rfk

00:30:25 uh told reporters he's legally homeless and thus cannot vote in any state uh he said the dilemma

00:30:33 originated in his 2024 presidential campaign which resulted in both of the states where he

00:30:38 on property declaring that he wasn't a legal resident so kennedy's voting dilemma comes you

00:30:44 know before the midterm elections and uh you know we're going to probably need his vote uh so i guess

00:30:50 he's still homeless because the judge ruled in 2024 that the address that he claimed to be a

00:30:56 residence in uh was invalid uh the politician said he was renting a room at his friend's uh

00:31:03 catania home in westchester however there was no written lease so the judge said yeah he resided

00:31:09 in the bedroom highly improbable if not preposterous so he's now he guess he bought a

00:31:17 4800 square foot property in georgetown and so i guess that purchase came after he was confirmed

00:31:23 as part of the trump administration so i guess that would be his legal address so he needs to

00:31:28 get that worked out uh you know yeah let's go ahead and vote bro let's get that worked out for

00:31:33 your legal residence you're actually part of the white house administration yeah that'd be a bad

00:31:37 look if he doesn't make that happen yeah let's make that happen in our daily look at ai uh

00:31:42 anthropic uh going to watermark content created by its ai models including claude with invisible

00:31:49 tags to comply with the new eu regulations they didn't do this out of the goodness of their heart

00:31:55 aimed at making AI-generated content easier to identify.

00:32:00 Anthropic was going to watermark text by its models.

00:32:04 Also, the AI maker confirmed the watermaking update.

00:32:08 So EU AI Act Transparency Code took effect August 2nd

00:32:14 and requires AI companies to mark AI-generated or edited content

00:32:18 in a way other systems can identify them.

00:32:21 And it's not clear at this point how much editing needs to happen to remove the watermark.

00:32:27 I'm sure people are busy trying as we speak.

00:32:31 We have asked, you know, Anthropic did not clarify any of that.

00:32:34 The company noted that watermarking will apply to different products, all of the Claude platform, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and Claude Tag.

00:32:44 Platforms are now rushing to watermark all their AI-generated content

00:32:48 because of the EU platform.

00:32:50 Suno said that it's going to mark tracks created on its platform.

00:32:54 Substack teamed up with Panagram to flag AI-generated content.

00:33:00 The CEO of Substack called out clawed phishing

00:33:04 used for people using AI to generate content.

00:33:09 So there's plenty of companies, Black Forest Labs, Google, Meta, Microsoft,

00:33:13 OpenAI and

00:33:15 Synthesia have committed to

00:33:17 adhering to the EU's code. I didn't see

00:33:19 anywhere where it said

00:33:21 that they're going to do that here.

00:33:23 It's going to be

00:33:25 everywhere or if it's just

00:33:27 under the EU's plan.

00:33:29 You know what I mean?

00:33:31 Okay, we can tell

00:33:33 sure, we believe you.

00:33:35 You're going to do every one.

00:33:37 Absolutely. I trust you

00:33:39 that you're going to let us know every time.

00:33:41 um hail to the victors uh beginning in the fall of uh next year 2027 the university of michigan's

00:33:49 college of literature science and the arts will not put grades on students transcripts from their

00:33:56 first semester the transcript will indicate whether the student passed or received no credit

00:34:01 for each course but will not include a letter grade uh the first semester grade covering pilot

00:34:06 program is intended to help students start strong and curb the mental health crisis unfolding among

00:34:13 college-age individuals. University professors beg for a return of the standardized test

00:34:19 as students can't do basic math. We hear teachers all the time that are upset that they've had to

00:34:25 pass students through to get them through high school, and now the colleges are paying for that

00:34:31 because the students can't read or write.

00:34:34 The University of Michigan joins four other American universities

00:34:37 that have similar programs, including MIT, Caltech, Swarthmore College.

00:34:44 MIT and Caltech are doing that?

00:34:46 That's correct.

00:34:47 Johns Hopkins University had a similar policy from 1971

00:34:52 until they eliminated it in 2017.

00:34:56 So we finally stopped doing it.

00:34:58 But that's only for the first semester of freshmen.

00:35:00 The first semester of the freshmen.

00:35:02 For all of those schools?

00:35:03 Yeah.

00:35:04 Okay, so it's kind of a transitional period, sort of?

00:35:07 Yeah, they want the students, you know, the mental health crisis is going on, Pat.

00:35:10 I didn't realize that until now.

00:35:12 And if you go to the University of Michigan and get a C, you're in a crisis.

00:35:17 You're done for.

00:35:18 I mean, the LSA at University of Michigan is the largest of the 19 schools and colleges.

00:35:25 They had 3,521 first-year students last year.

00:35:29 so there's a lot of kids

00:35:31 heading in there and apparently they're still

00:35:33 going to receive grades but

00:35:35 the instructor feedback

00:35:37 in every course for the first semester

00:35:39 but those grades are not going to show up anywhere

00:35:41 you're not going to be able to see them anywhere

00:35:43 and we also

00:35:45 have a conflict of interest

00:35:47 for a Supreme Court judge

00:35:49 oh boy

00:35:51 I tell you what

00:35:53 apparently

00:35:54 Justice Samuel Alito

00:35:56 they found out that somewhere alito made somewhere between 400 000 and 2.9 million

00:36:04 from fossil fuel investments between 2005 and 2024 oh oh boy uh that could be a problem because uh

00:36:13 there's the scotus they're expected to hear a case on whether uh subnational governments

00:36:19 in this case the city of boulder colorado can sue oil and gas companies and they're

00:36:26 making money from an oil and gas company. They want to sue

00:36:28 Suncor Energy and Exxon

00:36:30 Mobil for contributing

00:36:31 to climate change.

00:36:34 So

00:36:35 that's a problem. 1.00

00:36:38 That right-wing lunatic 0.89

00:36:39 had investments in fossil 0.98

00:36:41 fuel investments.

00:36:43 Wow, he better recuse himself

00:36:45 right now.

00:36:47 He probably will.

00:36:49 Probably going to have to.

00:36:51 Alito likes to avoid even the appearance

00:36:54 I think.

00:36:54 and so I wouldn't be surprised

00:36:56 if you recused himself

00:36:57 and those are some pretty sweet investments

00:36:59 I'm glad I should have invested

00:37:01 seems to be going well

00:37:02 no doubt

00:37:19 you're going to be thinking about that

00:37:23 for a couple minutes, huh? Glenn Beck will be right back.

00:37:40 Though the headlines might change, the threats facing Israel remain. While much of the world

00:37:44 has moved on to the next story, Israeli families continue living with the reality of terrorism and

00:37:49 uncertainty and recovery. Communities remain on alert. Parents still think twice before sending

00:37:54 their children to school. Families continue rebuilding their lives, knowing the next siren

00:37:58 could come without warning. As Christians, we're called to stand with God's children in times of

00:38:03 need. And that's why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews remains on the ground in

00:38:07 the Holy Land each and every day, providing life-saving aid, food for struggling families,

00:38:12 emergency assistance, bomb shelters, and critical support for those impacted by war.

00:38:17 Even after the cameras leave and the headlines fade,

00:38:20 the fellowship remains committed to Israel's most vulnerable.

00:38:24 Join the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews

00:38:26 in praying for the people of Israel,

00:38:28 for protection and strength, and for lasting peace.

00:38:30 Together, we can remind God's people that they are not alone.

00:39:11 Let's go to Sean in Texas.

00:39:13 Sean, welcome.

00:39:15 Yes, sir.

00:39:16 go ahead sean i wanted to pick y'all's brain about something that's been bothering me

00:39:24 with this whole fauci deal with what was happening and he was basically could not do

00:39:33 the gain of function in the united states anymore correct if he turns around and

00:39:38 gives the contract to a foreign company that's doing it overseas in their base country.

00:39:46 Doesn't this fall into the category of basically espionage

00:39:51 because he's aiding a foreign government that's considered a threat to our government?

00:40:00 I don't know that it falls into the espionage category,

00:40:04 but it definitely falls into criminal activity.

00:40:08 there's no question about that we know that he was absolutely uh you know he's a criminal giving

00:40:13 funds frankly to those uh to those labs knowing that they were going to give their that funds

00:40:21 to another lab that was going to do the gain of function he damn well knew that he knew that

00:40:26 absolutely knew that yeah and that's why that is why he deflected all the attention away from the

00:40:34 lab and said it was the

00:40:35 wet market. It was the

00:40:38 bat soup that was responsible 1.00

00:40:40 for the virus

00:40:42 and all of that.

00:40:43 The whole thing, that's all it was.

00:40:45 Because he didn't want you looking over here at the lab

00:40:47 that he was funding.

00:40:50 So yeah, I mean the guy should be

00:40:51 he should be tried. He should

00:40:54 be in prison. He's not going to be.

00:40:56 He's not going to be. No, he's not going to be.

00:40:58 Nothing will ever come of it.

00:40:59 I mean they're trying their damnedest. I know they're trying to

00:41:02 you know, if the auto

00:41:03 pen. I mean, at least Rand Paul

00:41:05 is trying his damnedest. He's 0.66

00:41:07 really done an incredible

00:41:09 job on this. Yes, he has. And they're trying to make

00:41:11 see if... I love the auto

00:41:13 pen angle, but it's not going to happen.

00:41:16 President Biden has already

00:41:17 said that he knew all about

00:41:19 them and that they were...

00:41:21 That's my signature,

00:41:23 so they're valid.

00:41:26 We could make

00:41:27 fun of it and be mad about it, but

00:41:29 they're valid. Yeah, I suppose.

00:41:31 According to our rules.

00:41:32 I guess that remains to be seen

00:41:35 but the fact is

00:41:36 the underlying point is

00:41:38 nothing's ever going to come of it

00:41:40 because it never does

00:41:42 Fauci's an evil guy

00:41:44 that's who he is 0.56

00:41:46 and he's done a lot

00:41:48 over the years, it's not just with COVID either

00:41:50 you go clear back to the HIV

00:41:52 AIDS stuff in the 80s

00:41:54 I mean, yeah 1.00

00:41:55 he's been a problem for a really long time

00:41:58 he'll face his own wrath

00:41:59 after this life

00:42:01 Yes, then maybe something will happen.

00:42:03 Absolutely.

00:42:04 I don't know.

00:42:08 Hello, America. 0.86

00:42:27 But to keep this fight going, we need you.

00:42:58 There's a difference between something that looks good in the store and then something that still feels good hours or days later.

00:43:06 I don't know if you've ever bought something that made a great first impression and then later you're like, it's not made for real life.

00:43:13 It happens especially with boots.

00:43:15 They might look great sitting on the shelf, but they spend the next week on your feet and they're miserable.

00:43:21 They're not going to stay your favorite pair if that's the case.

00:43:24 That's one of the reasons I like Tecovis.

00:43:25 They handcraft their boots in more than 200 meticulous steps using premium leathers and time-honored construction techniques so they feel broken in right out of the box.

00:43:35 There's no stiff break-in period, just comfort from the first time you pull them on.

00:44:45 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:44:52 We've got to share with you this story Jeffy just found from May of a CIA agent who's in a little bit of hot water.

00:45:02 But this is something I can't believe we haven't heard.

00:45:05 I don't remember talking about this story.

00:45:07 I don't think we did.

00:45:08 I don't think I saw that story.

00:45:09 It's unbelievable.

00:45:10 We'll get into that, tell you about that.

00:45:13 Also, we've got to get into what's going on in Minnesota, too, with the voting situation.

00:45:19 James O'Keefe stumbled into something that's incredible.

00:45:22 mind-boggling we'll get into that as well coming up in one minute one of the easiest mistakes to

00:45:29 make when buying a house is assuming you're only buying a house you're buying not just the house

00:45:37 you're buying a neighborhood the commute the school district uh the neighbors that you haven't

00:45:43 met yet you're buying every little surprise that comes with all of that that's why having the right

00:45:48 real estate agent matters so much. A good agent doesn't just unlock the front door and tell you

00:45:53 how nice the kitchen is and say good luck, see you later. They know the local market. They know

00:45:59 what to look for, what questions to ask, and what potential problems deserve a closer look before

00:46:04 you sign on to anything. That's why Glenn started Real Estate Agents I Trust. He does that work for

00:46:10 you. It's a network of experienced agents who have earned their reputations by helping people

00:46:15 navigate one of the biggest financial decisions they'll ever make they've also earned their

00:46:20 reputations by working really hard and closing great deals for great people who use them you're

00:46:26 not just buying four walls and a roof you're choosing the place where a big part of your life

00:46:31 is going to happen where your kids are going to grow up i mean it's really important so go to

00:46:36 Visit realestateagentsitrust.com to find your agent.

00:46:39 That's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:46:43 All right, I don't know how, I haven't heard this story anywhere.

00:46:49 I've reread this thing twice now because it's so unbelievable.

00:46:52 I mean, I cannot believe that we did not talk about this story.

00:46:55 I didn't even see it, let alone not talk about it.

00:46:58 I mean, it's dated May.

00:46:59 It's an AP story.

00:47:01 A CIA agent who's run into some problems.

00:47:04 A senior CIA official with top-secret level clearance, accused of stealing hundreds of gold bars worth more than $40 million.

00:47:14 $40 million?

00:47:16 And a lot of it was stashed at his home.

00:47:20 He was arrested.

00:47:21 David Rush was arrested and charged with criminal theft of public money.

00:47:26 He lives in Virginia, so that's where he was arrested.

00:47:29 From November to March, so this would have been in 2025, right, and 2026,

00:47:38 Rush requested and received a significant quantity of foreign currency

00:47:43 and tens of millions of dollars in gold bars for work-related expenses.

00:47:50 What?

00:47:51 So he just asked for it.

00:47:55 And the CIA sent him three.

00:47:57 How many?

00:47:58 How many gold bars?

00:47:59 Tell us how many gold bars it was that they found at his home.

00:48:02 Well, more than 300 gold bars were seized at his home.

00:48:06 300 gold bars were $40 million.

00:48:10 That's correct.

00:48:10 Plus, he had $2 million in cash, right?

00:48:12 $2 million in U.S. currency and some 35 luxury watches.

00:48:17 Many of them are Rolexes.

00:48:19 My gosh.

00:48:20 Did he requisition those as well from the CIA?

00:48:23 Probably.

00:48:24 And he had foreign currency as well.

00:48:26 I have got to get involved with the CIA somehow.

00:48:29 Right?

00:48:30 How do I requisition resources from the CIA?

00:48:35 That's a good gig.

00:48:36 That's a good gig.

00:48:37 There's no doubt about that.

00:48:39 So they think that he embezzled, stole, knowingly converted a thing of value of the United States for his personal use.

00:48:46 That's what they're charging him with.

00:48:47 And the FBI is working with the CIA and the Department of Justice in the investigation.

00:48:53 He must have been saying this was for some kind of covert operation.

00:48:57 And it very well may have been.

00:49:00 I mean, honestly, how do we know that it wasn't?

00:49:02 Yeah, I don't know.

00:49:04 I mean, I don't know.

00:49:04 Did he requisition, like, if they seized 300 gold bars,

00:49:08 did he requisition 400?

00:49:11 He's already run through another 100?

00:49:14 I mean, I don't know.

00:49:16 We certainly haven't heard anything progress with this case, have we, since May?

00:49:21 No.

00:49:21 Right.

00:49:22 That's what I'm saying.

00:49:22 He's just sitting in jail.

00:49:23 I haven't heard a word about it.

00:49:24 Is he just sitting in jail?

00:49:26 Jeez.

00:49:26 I don't know.

00:49:27 That's incredible.

00:49:28 So the FBI affidavit also notes that Russ appears to have lied for years.

00:49:34 No.

00:49:34 About his education and military background.

00:49:39 Oh.

00:49:39 They found that he had falsely claimed to be a Navy pilot.

00:49:43 Okay.

00:49:43 That he graduated from Clemson University in South Carolina and Rensselaer Polytechnique

00:49:50 Institute.

00:49:51 RPI in New York.

00:49:53 Thank you.

00:49:54 Nice job.

00:49:54 I didn't graduate from Ren's Lair.

00:49:58 Instead, they found he had enlisted in the Navy.

00:50:01 He was actually in the Navy in 1997.

00:50:04 And then served in the U.S. Navy Reserves from 2004 until 2015.

00:50:08 But he wasn't a pilot, right?

00:50:10 No, he was honorably discharged as a lieutenant.

00:50:12 It doesn't appear that he underwent any evaluations as a pilot during that time.

00:50:17 And he didn't attend either college.

00:50:21 Wow.

00:50:22 Does the CIA check any of your credentials that are listed on your resume?

00:50:27 I guess not.

00:50:30 Seriously, how does that happen?

00:50:31 I don't know.

00:50:32 You know, it's kind of like the catch me if you can guy.

00:50:35 Yeah.

00:50:36 Whatever his name was, I can't remember.

00:50:38 Yeah, whatever.

00:50:38 He's working for the government.

00:50:40 He's out there.

00:50:40 You know, you almost have a little bit of admiration for somebody who can present themselves like this

00:50:47 to where they're so confident

00:50:49 and they're so commanding a presence

00:50:52 that they just believe you.

00:50:53 Yeah, I graduated from Clemson.

00:50:55 And you pull all of that stuff off

00:50:57 and then you requisition 300 gold bars

00:51:00 from your bosses at the CIA

00:51:01 and they just send it to you.

00:51:03 All right, here it is.

00:51:04 And I'm going to need 2 million in cash

00:51:06 on top of that as well.

00:51:07 Not to mention millions in foreign currency

00:51:09 because I'm working on something really, really big.

00:51:13 You know I can't talk about it.

00:51:16 You know, I can't talk about it right now.

00:51:18 No, I can't tell you. 0.99

00:51:19 I'd have to kill you if I told you. 0.99

00:51:20 And I don't want to do that. 1.00

00:51:21 I don't want to do that.

00:51:22 I don't want to do that.

00:51:23 I mean, it's amazing.

00:51:24 Look, I'm going to say this out loud, and I shouldn't,

00:51:27 because now it's out there.

00:51:28 But the movie should be already written for this.

00:51:32 No kidding.

00:51:33 Yeah, that's a great story.

00:51:35 Great story.

00:51:35 We should write it today, actually,

00:51:39 because I've already got a title for it.

00:51:42 And apparently he wasn't even selling state secrets.

00:51:46 there's no charges to that yeah no i i don't he's just enriching himself but is he from the cia but

00:51:55 is he or they just pissed that they well if he had they didn't know he didn't go to college and

00:51:59 they got hoodwinked by him and maybe he was he was actually working the case well if he had a

00:52:04 legitimate case i don't think they'd be charging him okay okay i don't know that's pretty amazing

00:52:12 I will certainly say that if I'm David Rush's attorney, he was working a case.

00:52:17 Well, yes.

00:52:19 No question about that.

00:52:21 But everybody's tight-lipped now.

00:52:22 The story says that his attorney was no comment.

00:52:25 The FBI was no comment.

00:52:26 Well, the CIA's got to be embarrassed at that.

00:52:27 Yeah.

00:52:28 All of it.

00:52:29 I mean, that's a black mark on their record.

00:52:31 Oh, my gosh.

00:52:31 Are you kidding me?

00:52:33 You just sent somebody tens of millions of dollars worth of gold and cash and foreign currency

00:52:41 and Rolex watches, and you were completely duped?

00:52:46 And you were hoodwinked by the whole thing.

00:52:49 That's an embarrassment. 0.80

00:52:50 Just him being a CIA agent is an embarrassment,

00:52:54 not knowing his history.

00:52:57 You couldn't even check to see if he went to Clemson.

00:52:59 So my question is, I have another question.

00:53:02 How many CIA senior agents are requesting gold bars and cash

00:53:09 from around the world?

00:53:11 and receiving him no questions asked apparently that's i mean come on now jd vance where's the

00:53:20 fraud no kidding i know you're worried about the guy that's saying he has kids that doesn't have

00:53:25 kids is the worst but come on now that just makes you wonder how yes how much of that is going on

00:53:33 because yeah he can't be the only one right right i mean if if this wow if if my man uh

00:53:41 David Rush figured out the way to requisition gold bars, cash.

00:53:50 Watches.

00:53:50 Maybe he spent some of many.

00:53:52 Can you get a Rolex watch with a gold bar?

00:53:56 I was just asking for a friend.

00:53:58 Can I just walk in and plug down the gold bar?

00:54:03 I want that watch there.

00:54:05 Can that happen?

00:54:06 Not sure how that works.

00:54:08 Well, you do that with the cash.

00:54:09 But I don't know if they didn't say that he requisitioned $2 million in cash

00:54:14 or he requisitioned $4 million in cash and they only found $2 million.

00:54:19 They didn't say any of that.

00:54:21 It was just what they found when they showed up at his house and his office.

00:54:28 So I'd love to hear more details on that.

00:54:32 Me too, and I doubt we ever will.

00:54:35 Probably not.

00:54:36 I feel like this story.

00:54:37 Because, again, that's an embarrassment to them.

00:54:39 That's a huge embarrassment.

00:54:41 Yes.

00:54:42 And I don't know how, I mean, the story obviously was somewhere out there.

00:54:47 It's an AP story, made it in May.

00:54:50 But I don't, I mean, I just kind of flew under the radar, though.

00:54:53 It popped up on this, it popped up on a website that I go to from time to time.

00:55:03 So we're hoping that it's actually accurate.

00:55:05 It might be a fake AP story, yeah.

00:55:08 That's possible, too.

00:55:09 Never mind.

00:55:14 Speaking of mind-numbing situations,

00:55:19 James O'Keefe is on another undercover operation,

00:55:22 this time in Minnesota. 0.90

00:55:24 And it's because of this voter ID thing

00:55:28 that is so horrible to ask people to bring an ID to the voting booth.

00:55:33 Well, you can't.

00:55:34 Because you can't.

00:55:35 You can't. 1.00

00:55:36 No women would ever be able to vote again. 1.00

00:55:38 no minority would ever be able to vote no women or minorities have ids and heaven forbid you ask 1.00

00:55:45 them for a birth certificate what to vote you want a unicorn too while i'm at it 0.98

00:55:54 that's how they act like it's the most outrageous situation ever uh and it's interesting because

00:56:04 what I've noticed throughout my life is that 1.00

00:56:07 women do, in fact, 1.00

00:56:09 have IDs. Wait, what? And so do 1.00

00:56:11 minorities. Is that weird? You'll 0.91

00:56:13 see minorities on a pretty regular

00:56:15 basis driving cars, 0.98

00:56:17 which

00:56:18 normally means they've got

00:56:21 some form of ID, like

00:56:23 a driver's license.

00:56:25 It's possible. But this

00:56:27 is why, again, this is why

00:56:29 84% of Americans are in favor

00:56:31 of the SAVE Act.

00:56:33 Well, we don't have the votes, and I'm almost sick of you talking about it.

00:56:37 Do you think John Thune can count to 50?

00:56:39 No.

00:56:39 He can't.

00:56:40 No, well, actually, he can.

00:56:42 He can count to 50.

00:56:43 I can count.

00:56:44 I have the numbers.

00:56:45 If President Trump wants to come down here and try to figure it out, he can welcome to.

00:56:50 John, that's your job.

00:56:51 Yeah.

00:56:52 That's what you were elected for.

00:56:53 He's just not willing to do it.

00:56:54 Yes.

00:56:55 I'm sorry, Senator Thune.

00:56:57 But check this out.

00:56:57 James O'Keefe and a friend go into the polling place

00:57:02 and they don't have any ID, but it goes beyond that.

00:57:06 Check this out.

00:57:07 Well, if you're all in the same precinct

00:57:09 and you are already registered, which looks like you are,

00:57:13 then you can vouch for them as ID for them.

00:57:16 Oh, good.

00:57:17 Wait, what?

00:57:17 She says to me, I say they do not need ID.

00:57:19 She says, you are the ID.

00:57:21 He is the ID.

00:57:22 I am the ID.

00:57:23 And no ID needed.

00:57:24 I just vouch for them.

00:57:25 Well, you're the ID.

00:57:26 I am the ID.

00:57:27 how many people uh may i vouch for eight eight i can vouch for eight people eight people no idea

00:57:36 we come back back thank you most poll workers visited were willing to let us vouch with no

00:57:41 questions asked even when presented with the most absurd situation imaginable while other

00:57:47 poll workers did take issue with our investigation revealing their awareness that something about 0.99

00:57:52 this vouching system yes so and to be to also say they were dressed as muslims right yeah for

00:57:59 those on radio one of them was in a complete burqa with just uh the eyes showing opening for

00:58:07 his eyes so he could see out so they had no idea who that person was james was in a white robe

00:58:13 and had the eye mom hat on yeah which you can't i mean is that and that's why he can vouch for

00:58:19 others what well yeah wait what that's just so even he who they were allowing to vouch for the

00:58:27 others didn't have to show an id right so he's the id why because he's the i-mom and do they

00:58:36 know that for a fact he's wearing the outfit he's yeah yeah you couldn't fake that you can't fake

00:58:41 you can't and you can't get those hats and robes just anywhere my gosh well except you can but

00:58:48 um don't worry about that she just doesn't want to fight she doesn't want to fight because she's

00:58:54 afraid that if she says no i need id to the muslim imam there's going to be a big fight

00:59:00 and on top of which she doesn't care she needs you know there's there's i thought uh

00:59:06 though i thought the people that worked at the polling stations were trained

00:59:09 obviously they need more training i would think so yeah yeah yeah that's got to make you feel

00:59:15 good about the election process it does these kinds of things we're told from the left never 0.88

00:59:20 happen that never happens oh you're being ridiculous nobody would do this uh fraud doesn't

00:59:26 happen right during the election huh is that right but this guy can walk into the

00:59:34 voting place and he can vouch for eight people what is it why is this when is that a thing is

00:59:42 it six or eight yeah it's eight it's eight okay okay all right how do we know it's not 80

00:59:49 why is it six or eight where does that end well yeah well i mean every every imam that comes in

00:59:57 gets eight people nine counting himself right so he gets to vouch for eight plus himself

01:00:03 if that doesn't make you concerned uh about our process i don't know what will

01:00:11 now many states will tell you that that is a that's a freak uh occurrence and you know yeah

01:00:19 it's an anomaly and of course i'm sure it's not i'm sure he probably i mean he did say some

01:00:26 polling places didn't allow yeah and look every polling station i've gone to in texas i've gone to

01:00:31 i don't know i think three different ones since i've lived here and uh they all they asked for

01:00:38 i show my you need to show your driver show my id i vote yeah right but in minnesota you don't

01:00:43 have to do that and you can even vouch for eight other people just because you're you and look

01:00:49 everybody that was coming into the polling stations here at least in texas uh everybody

01:00:54 that was in line you know in front of me and behind me all had their idea which makes it

01:01:00 kind of like you said that people do have their ids yeah they kind of they do they do that's why

01:01:06 it's such a popular act that's why it's so popular to have to show your id at the polling place so

01:01:14 that we know you're an american citizen there's almost nobody who's against that it makes no

01:01:20 sense i mean when you show your id for a million other things yeah a million other things in order

01:03:08 that's a big problem and i i don't know if it's just because they appeared to be muslim that

01:03:13 they didn't push him right uh a little bit and maybe a full documentary has uh you know a white

01:03:19 guy come up yeah and do the same thing interesting to see that would be because we have no idea how

01:03:26 many non-citizens are voting in our election right how many dead people are voting in our

01:03:31 elections there's no way to tell but you know it's some absolutely that's evidence in and of itself

01:03:37 yeah that is some yeah and we what does it take to get the left to be serious about this well

01:03:44 Well, they don't ever want to because they know it's to their advantage. 0.93

01:03:47 When non-citizens are voting, they're not voting conservative. 1.00

01:03:51 I think we can all pretty much agree on that. 0.93

01:03:54 When non-citizens vote, it's not for a Republican. 0.99

01:03:58 It's for someone else. 0.79

01:04:00 The DSA candidate.

01:04:01 I do know that.

01:04:02 Yeah, that's a fact.

01:04:03 You can take that right to the bank.

01:04:05 Okay.

01:04:05 All right.

01:04:06 All right.

01:04:08 I don't even need to requisition gold bars from the CIA to make that one stick.

01:04:13 Could we requisition stuff here?

01:04:16 We should try.

01:04:17 At least give it a shot.

01:04:19 I will say that I've requisitioned an escalator in this building for years,

01:04:23 and it hasn't really worked.

01:04:24 It has not worked at all.

01:04:26 Maybe you should put on a burka, and then maybe it would. 1.00

01:04:29 I love that idea. 0.99

01:04:30 Put on a burka and walk with a limp, and I bet we get our escalator. 1.00

01:04:34 I love that idea. 1.00

01:04:35 I want one.

01:04:37 That's going to happen.

01:04:39 We also have to show you, since we're deep in it now,

01:04:42 we got to show you the minnesota senate nominee the democrat nominee uh peggy flanagan talking

01:05:33 Cozy Earth's mission is to transform the time that matters most, your sleep,

01:05:52 into the most comfortable part of your day. Sleeping in a cooler environment offers several

01:05:57 scientifically supported benefits. Studies show that cooler temperatures promote the natural

01:06:01 release of melatonin. This leads to a faster sleep onset, better mood regulation, and significantly

01:06:07 improved sleep quality. That is exactly why Cozier's premium sheets are just such a game

01:06:12 changer. Tanya and I love the sheets in the heat of Florida or here at the ranch. These sheets give

01:06:16 our bed the luxurious feel and comfort for great sleep. Made from viscose from bamboo, they

01:06:22 naturally wick away heat and moisture from your body. They're temperature regulating, helping

01:06:26 everybody sleep several degrees cooler to completely eliminate the risk of night sweats.

01:06:31 So try them out completely risk-free. Cozy Earth has a 100-night sleep trial and every set is built

01:07:07 Pat Gray, Jeff Fisher for Glenn today. Welcome to it.

01:07:13 This is just mind-boggling territory for me. I don't even, again, it's one of those things where

01:07:19 They're just not words in the English language that are adequate to describe the frustration, the anger, the lunacy of this situation where you can walk into a voting place and you can vouch for eight other people.

01:07:40 And you don't even have the voucher doesn't even have to show ID.

01:07:43 Right.

01:07:44 How's that possible?

01:07:45 How can that be?

01:07:47 There's something wrong.

01:07:48 and that needs to be fixed and for some reason i guess it can't be done in the senate u.s senate

01:07:54 can't make it happen where you could maybe fix that problem i'm sorry i was about i was

01:08:02 requisitioning 300 gold bars oh okay i wasn't listening what were you saying i forget uh let's

01:08:09 go to colleen in tennessee colleen welcome to the glenbeck program with pat and jeffy

01:08:14 good morning morning i am a former minnesota resident and about 12 years ago when i was

01:08:21 voting there in an uh in a um a local election i witnessed a small bus like a small school bus

01:08:30 pull up to the polling place which was at a um public housing complex and a muslim gentleman

01:08:38 came out vouched for the entire bus and when he gave the polling they were in front of me in line

01:08:45 when he gave the address for each of these people he gave a name and the address that we were

01:08:50 standing in just gave different apartment numbers for all of these people he assisted all of them

01:08:56 in voting they got back on the bus and they left wow geez so not only did he vouch for him but he

01:09:03 helped them vote yeah they didn't speak any english wow and when i asked why do they did

01:09:12 they come on a bus if they all live in this building the poll worker said we're not allowed

01:09:17 to ask wow and the accusations have been in minnesota for many years this was about 12 years

01:09:25 ago right um that they go from polling place to polling place in these buses and they pay these

01:09:31 same people and they hold up with the same people i have no idea i mean i don't know i can't say

01:09:37 yeah but there's nothing to stop them nothing to stop them whatsoever the poll workers aren't

01:09:42 even allowed to ask no one has to show any kind of id whatsoever not even the person doing the

01:09:49 vouching i just can't even i can't understand how that's a thing with the person that you saw doing

01:09:58 the vouching. No, don't go anywhere yet. The person

01:10:00 not doing the vouching, was he

01:10:02 wearing an I-Man hat?

01:10:04 No. It's I-Man.

01:10:06 Whatever.

01:10:07 Okay. So he wasn't even wearing

01:10:10 the I-Man hat and he was

01:10:11 still the voucher.

01:10:14 Yeah. All right.

01:10:15 Thanks, Colleen. And apparently

01:10:18 this is legal. I looked

01:10:19 up the situation

01:10:22 for a registered voter

01:10:23 can vouch for your

01:10:26 residency

01:10:28 in Minnesota, the process is known

01:10:30 officially as

01:10:31 Vouching.

01:10:36 So it's official.

01:10:37 It's used during same-day voter registration.

01:10:41 Okay.

01:10:42 So all you have to, and again,

01:10:44 not even the voucher.

01:10:44 Same-day voter registration.

01:10:46 Not even the voucher has to show ID.

01:10:50 So, what are you basing

01:10:52 any of it on?

01:10:53 Wow, that is

01:10:55 staggering.

01:10:58 I don't know what you do about that.

01:11:00 You can't even get John Thune to put this thing to a vote,

01:11:07 to get this SAVE Act passed in America so we could at least clean up some of this.

01:11:12 We need it desperately.

01:11:14 Wow.

01:11:15 Well, it never happens.

01:11:17 What you're talking about, that never happens.

01:11:21 Really?

01:11:22 It's apparently happening all the time.

01:11:24 Colleen just talked about 12 years ago it was happening.

01:11:27 Right.

01:11:28 right then well that's why it's so embedded now in minnesota i mean they've been doing it for so

01:11:33 long so long it's just second nature to them now think of the millions of dollars that have gone

01:11:41 fraudulently to those minnesota uh residents holy cow i mean we're just seeing the tip of

01:11:49 the iceberg now and they don't they don't make any secret about it no no i mean look we've there

01:11:57 were videos out long before nick shirley came along and nobody paid any attention and thankfully

01:12:03 for nick shirley at least someone started paying attention when he posted his videos i think the

01:12:08 key to that was the leering center because yeah that was great if they had a good move on his

01:12:15 part if they hadn't misspelled the name of the center yeah if it would have been learning center

01:12:20 nobody would have paid attention to that either yeah you're probably right but that was a great

01:12:24 hook and so that stuck yeah and i hear it called leering center every time somebody mentions it

01:12:32 yeah yeah yeah so that was it you're right so great that he was able to yeah i mean thankfully

01:12:40 put this into the national psyche yeah yeah yeah it was great really good job by him uh also in

01:12:47 minnesota they have a senate nominee peggy flanag flanagan who oh she's running for senate not

01:12:53 governor yeah she's running for senate and uh even better she's got some great feelings about

01:12:57 trans kids uh here's what she had to say because let's be clear all right this is life affirming

01:13:06 and life saving health care no when our children tell us who they are it is our job as grown-ups

01:13:17 to listen and to believe them pause it for a second so if your child says i'm an astronaut

01:13:24 you should believe that if he says i'm a fireman and uh and i'm putting out fires that's why i've

01:13:32 sprayed water all over the living room here and i the tv was on fire timmy right thank you 0.97

01:13:41 this is so ridiculous so if your 10 year old comes to you your 10 year old boy comes to you 0.97

01:13:47 says you know what i feel like i feel like i might might be a girl then you should listen to that and 0.99

01:13:53 you should indulge that and i guess take action on that from this 10 year old because he'll never

01:14:00 change his mind his mind's obviously made up he's 10 he's had 10 years to think about this 1.00

01:14:05 so obviously he's a girl we need to cut off body parts how stupid is this i mean it's wow 1.00

01:14:13 how dangerous is it well when you start talking about uh medical procedures it's absolutely 1.00

01:14:20 dangerous and these people are out of their minds for that i mean i i i i could even maybe go as far

01:14:27 as saying you know if timmy thinks he's a girl you let timmy wear a dress for a day because tomorrow

01:14:31 he's going to want to be the fireman right but uh when you start talking about medical procedures

01:14:37 And then you're out of your mind

01:14:38 The kid is 10

01:14:40 When you start giving them medication

01:14:44 When they have

01:14:45 Chemical castration

01:14:47 You're the one with the problem

01:14:48 When that starts to happen

01:14:51 The child should not

01:14:54 Be dependent on you

01:14:55 She had more to say about this

01:14:57 That's what it means to be a good parent

01:15:06 No, no, no, it's the opposite of it.

01:15:12 I wonder if she has any children. 0.92

01:15:14 I know she's an Ojibwe activist.

01:15:18 Oh, yeah, and I guess she is pretty Ojibwe, though. 0.78

01:15:22 Yeah, oh, yeah. 1.00

01:15:23 This is not like an Elizabeth Warren situation.

01:15:25 No, it is not.

01:15:26 She was born into, I think, an indigenous and Irish family.

01:15:30 Okay. 0.85

01:15:31 She's a member of Ojibwe and a member of the White Earth Nation. 1.00

01:15:36 Me too. 1.00

01:15:37 Yeah.

01:15:37 Me too.

01:15:38 Ha, ha, ha.

01:15:40 I think we can all relate to that, right?

01:15:43 Right?

01:15:44 Mm-hmm.

01:15:44 Right?

01:15:45 So I don't know that she actually has any children,

01:15:49 which would be wonderful if she did, wouldn't it?

01:15:53 Yeah, and especially if they got any concerns about, you know,

01:15:57 who they are and what they want to do,

01:15:58 because they should know exactly right now what they want to be. 0.69

01:16:01 And if they say they're a different gender, 0.65

01:16:04 then by golly, start the process.

01:16:06 right then and there.

01:16:08 That's part of being a good parent.

01:16:09 What's the matter with you?

01:16:12 El-Sayed's sister,

01:16:13 Abdul Rahman Mohamed El-Sayed

01:16:17 has a sister,

01:16:18 and she goes to the,

01:16:20 she's a professor

01:16:20 at the University of Chicago.

01:16:23 And just to give you an idea

01:16:25 how wonderful this family is

01:16:26 and what solid Americans they are,

01:16:30 listen to what she had to say.

01:16:33 I guess this was,

01:16:34 was this last year?

01:16:36 Uh, 2025.

01:16:38 Yes.

01:16:38 Okay.

01:16:39 It was 2025.

01:16:40 Uh, she's wearing a mask still, which tells you a lot.

01:16:44 Boy, it sure does.

01:16:45 They all are.

01:16:46 All right.

01:16:47 We see a couple of people there and they're, they're wearing masks.

01:16:49 So it must be a mandate.

01:16:51 Five years after the pandemic, she's still wearing a mask.

01:16:55 Oh, stuff lingers.

01:16:56 Yeah, it does.

01:16:57 Stuff lingers.

01:16:58 It does. 1.00

01:16:58 And here she is.

01:17:00 The University of Chicago.

01:17:01 It's evil.

01:17:02 Like, you know, it's a colonial landlord.

01:17:05 by the way she's at the university of chicago right now and she works there as a professor

01:17:11 so she's working for this evil uh colonial landlord landlord right right now all right

01:17:19 the university of chicago it's evil like you know it's a colonial landlord like why would i

01:17:27 why would i put any of my political energy into this space and i kind of had a little bit of

01:17:31 disdain for uh for for like people who spent a lot of time doing that and the genocide really

01:17:38 collapsed that and made me realize that um two things one is that well my students needed me

01:17:45 um so it was like oh i actually i have to organize here to take care of my students who i do care

01:17:50 about um but i also realized and i think this is a lesson this is a painful lesson that a lot of us

01:17:57 in the Palestine Solidarity Movement have been learning

01:17:59 is that we don't have power.

01:18:03 We can shift the moral authority all we want.

01:18:06 We've won the moral question.

01:18:07 Like, that was the imperative that we've had.

01:18:10 Done, check.

01:18:11 Like, put Palestine in the national consciousness.

01:18:13 We did it.

01:18:15 You know, make people sympathetic to Palestine.

01:18:17 Teach the history.

01:18:18 We did it. 1.00

01:18:19 Like, now you have white boys on the north side of Chicago 0.71

01:18:21 being like, hey, man, free Palestine. 0.77

01:18:22 I'm like, okay. 0.96

01:18:24 Now, did not see it coming.

01:18:26 Glad it's here.

01:18:27 um but what we don't have is power and i think for me the question of base building is about

01:18:33 i think the question that i i'm asking myself and i'm asking you to ask yourself is where can i

01:18:38 actually build power turns out i work hopefully at one of the biggest employers in the city of

01:18:44 chicago i work at a place that is a landlord a health care provider um a police force but they

01:18:53 are right and um a place where i have access to thousands of people that i could potentially

01:18:58 organize and you know what it's not fun organizing academics

01:19:02 next time you're in your organizing meeting being frustrated please think of me

01:19:10 please think about me trying to organize like academics like it's brutal i never saw this

01:19:18 coming however but i'm just like actually this is where i need to build power right like this is my

01:19:25 best possible structural leverage and so i do i do one-on-ones with my liberal colleagues who are

01:19:31 like well i don't know but you know i just think we should live the life of the mind here here in

01:19:36 high park where we go it's like yeah you know i hear you totally yeah wow that is the kind of

01:19:44 radical that's teaching kids uh at the university of chicago and then we wonder how they come out

01:19:52 of that hell hole uh thinking the way they do listen to the propaganda she vomited out of her 1.00

01:20:00 stupid face that's unreal she's al saeed's half sister half sister man thanksgiving must be fun 1.00

01:20:07 oh my gosh how would you love to have both of them over for dinner wouldn't that be great 1.00

01:22:13 Again?

01:22:14 Yeah.

01:22:14 There's more.

01:22:15 There's more.

01:22:16 We don't have time for it just here, but after the top of the hour,

01:22:18 we'll get into some of this stuff.

01:22:20 is it's incredible it's just if you weren't seeing it every day you wouldn't believe it

01:22:26 five years ago we wouldn't have thought any of this possible and yet here we are here we are

01:22:31 and once you're in it you're in it and we got to deal with it i know meantime let's uh talk to

01:22:36 greg in new york hey greg welcome hey guys you know what i understand how come president trump

01:22:43 doesn't send J.D. Vance into the Senate to push up on Thune.

01:22:48 Because you guys know, you guys are good with your history, right?

01:22:51 You guys know who used to run that Senate, right?

01:22:55 Yeah.

01:22:55 Yeah, Mitch McConnell, who we don't know.

01:22:57 Oh, wait, we don't know where he's at.

01:23:00 Up until 1953, the vice president of the United States called the shots.

01:23:05 Yeah, right.

01:23:06 He's just a tiebreaker vote now, right?

01:23:08 That's about all he does now.

01:23:09 Yeah.

01:23:10 Well, what happened?

01:23:12 Died.

01:23:12 Yeah.

01:23:13 Yeah, times change.

01:23:14 Yeah, we've evolved.

01:23:15 Yeah, we got strong leaders like John Thune instead.

01:23:20 Greg, haven't you noticed what a powerhouse that man is?

01:23:23 Appreciate the call.

01:23:24 Thanks.

01:23:25 That's why we didn't want John Thune to be majority leader to begin with, 0.99

01:23:29 because he sucks. 0.99

01:23:31 Right. 1.00

01:23:34 So frustrating.

01:23:35 So very, very frustrating.

01:23:38 And by the way, we still don't know where Mitch McConnell is.

01:23:41 I made the joke about Mitch McConnell being the leader of the Senate,

01:23:44 but that's absolutely true.

01:23:46 And we still don't know where the heck he is.

01:23:48 I mean, he was the Senate leader for a long time.

01:23:51 And, you know, the man has some power and some responsibilities.

01:23:58 Yes.

01:23:59 And all of that has just been flushed down the toilet

01:24:01 because he hasn't been there for 62 days now.

01:24:04 And we're to believe, missed all kinds of votes,

01:24:06 and we're to believe that now that they're in the break,

01:24:09 He's busy working, rehabbing, and working on the Senate business and the state business

01:24:15 because this is state time now.

01:24:17 We're supposed to be back home meeting with constituents, but Mitch is rehabbing.

01:24:22 Frankly, we don't even know if he's alive.

01:24:24 To be honest, we haven't seen proof of life in those 62 days.

01:24:30 They sent out a couple AI-generated or old photos with his wife.

01:24:35 Other than that, we've not seen or heard from Mitch McConnell.

01:24:39 We have not.

01:24:40 Not at all.

01:24:42 I guess we do have the word of Scott Jennings,

01:24:44 so if you believe that, everything's fine.

01:24:48 And he'll be back soon.

01:25:05 Spark the flame

01:25:19 Pass it on

01:25:22 Crank the game

01:25:24 Glambeck is on

01:25:58 sevens. Awesome. I want to get you there safe. Yeah, right. And in one piece. So that'll be

01:26:06 great. The Washington Post just did an interesting analysis of who's coming up in the Democrat Party

01:26:13 for 2028. You know, we were talking about Republicans and J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio,

01:26:19 Ron DeSantis. All great, solid picks. Who are they going to run against? We'll tell you the

01:26:26 possibilities. Coming up in one minute. When it comes to supplements, two things matter most.

01:26:35 One, that it works. And two, you can trust it. Rather than just tell you about Relief Factor,

01:26:40 I want to let my audience do it. We hear from people every single day whose lives have changed,

01:26:44 and I'd like you to hear a few of their stories. Jim wrote in, he said he ran out of Relief Factor

01:26:48 twice. Both times, his ache and stiffness and pain came back. Once he restarted, he said,

01:26:53 I felt better again. As Jim puts it, you know, something's working when you run out of it. Jim,

01:26:57 I can tell you that's exactly, I mean, I didn't run out of it. I just thought, you know, my wife

01:27:02 made me take it and I'm like, I'm not, it's not going to work. And then I started feeling better

01:27:05 and I was like, well, I did my three weeks. I'm feeling better, but it's just me. I just,

01:27:08 I'm in a good spot. I stopped taking it and it all came rushing back. That's how I appreciate

01:27:13 what relief factor does. And it could change your life. They make it easy to find out if you'll be

01:27:17 the next person telling us relief factor helped you tackle your daily aches and pain three weeks

01:27:21 for just $17.76.

01:27:24 Get the three-week quick start,

01:27:25 1776, 1-800-4-RELIEF,

01:27:28 relieffactor.com.

01:27:30 We hope you soon

01:27:30 will be sharing your story with us.

01:27:38 Thanks for joining us.

01:27:41 Been wondering about 2020

01:27:43 and we got the immediate concern

01:27:45 of the midterms,

01:27:47 which a little shaky right now

01:27:49 and I'm hoping that goes well.

01:27:51 because it needs to go well.

01:27:55 It really does.

01:27:56 Well, we saw that Mike Rogers was in front of El Saeed.

01:28:00 That's awesome.

01:28:01 In Michigan, which is awesome.

01:28:03 That was a 51-47 split, I think.

01:28:05 So he was up by four points.

01:28:06 Up by four points, but when they break it down, 0.96

01:28:09 by whites he's winning. 0.98

01:28:13 By law. 0.99

01:28:13 By men he's winning.

01:28:15 Yeah. 0.85

01:28:16 By white women college degree he's losing. 1.00

01:28:20 Right. 1.00

01:28:21 That's a problem.

01:28:22 Mm-hmm.

01:28:22 That's a problem. 1.00

01:28:23 It's pretty much even with just women. 1.00

01:28:27 And with non-white people, ooh. 1.00

01:28:31 Not good. 1.00

01:28:32 That's not good.

01:28:33 It's a big spread, I'm sure.

01:28:34 Yeah, it is.

01:28:35 So the Post, the Washington Post, says the standout potential candidates for 28 for the Democrats are as follows.

01:28:45 John Ossoff.

01:28:46 Okay, that's the Pat Gray.

01:28:48 That's my pick.

01:28:49 You're the predictable market man on that.

01:28:52 I think he's the guy.

01:28:54 I think he's the one they're going to run with.

01:28:56 You called that so long ago.

01:28:57 That's a good call.

01:28:58 John Ossoff, Westmore, Raphael Warnock, and a few other names.

01:29:06 Oh.

01:29:06 I mean, come on.

01:29:08 Who's the other one?

01:29:09 Ossoff and?

01:29:10 Ossoff, Westmore.

01:29:12 Oh, yeah, Westmore from Maryland.

01:29:13 Governor of Maryland.

01:29:14 And then Warnock.

01:29:16 Oh, Warnock.

01:29:17 No, no.

01:29:18 Also from Georgia, right?

01:29:20 The two senators from the great state of Georgia.

01:29:23 Right, and Warnock's not likable enough to run for president.

01:29:26 No, I think you're right about that.

01:29:29 But Ossoff has said about the Trump administration, 0.99

01:29:34 it's the cruelest, most arrogant group of people 0.92

01:29:37 who have ever ascended to high office in modern American history. 0.87

01:29:42 Is it?

01:29:43 Okay.

01:29:44 Is it?

01:29:44 Okay.

01:29:45 uh so um could you give us a couple of examples no he can't no of course he can't uh and he

01:29:55 doesn't i mean are you just angry that now the uh trump's getting his name back on the kennedy

01:30:01 center just mad about that and is that a done deal or they're just considering they the board

01:30:08 the the kennedy that's an issue for the left a big time issue and the judge already said take

01:30:14 it down and the board has now voted to put it back up so it's gonna be fun to watch that it's

01:30:21 very very fun now a pollster uh a democrat pollster nancy zidanskiewicz uh said for the for the first

01:30:30 time since obama there'd be a candidate that unites the progressive democratic lane and black

01:30:36 voters she's talking uh about warnock yeah no way more the first time maryland government governor

01:30:44 and only sitting black governor is described by some democrats as young and vibrant

01:30:49 but ossoff he's pretty good she says is currently on fire and more is also the type of guy who could

01:30:56 really catch fire but he's not on fire yet no he's not but he could he's way better than than

01:31:02 and that's why this reminds me so much of 1992 um in 90 and 91 nobody had ever heard of bill

01:31:09 clinton he's an arkansas governor nobody ever heard who's heard of him and he came out of the

01:31:15 blue and i think that's what's going to happen uh this time i hope he's not going to be elected

01:31:19 president but i think the nominee will be somebody we don't think about a lot you could make that

01:31:23 case about obama too yes oh that's true i mean obama made one little speech uh as a state senator

01:31:30 or whatever he was, and the world

01:31:32 was in love.

01:31:34 Then they finally get to Kamala

01:31:36 Harris. This summer,

01:31:38 the Post writes,

01:31:40 Democrats recommended that South Carolina vote

01:31:42 first in the Democrat process. 0.92

01:31:44 That boosts black voters' representation

01:31:46 in picking the nominee 0.92

01:31:47 and Kamala Harris' fortunes,

01:31:51 given that the former

01:31:52 vice president and 2024

01:31:54 nominee is probably the candidate

01:31:56 on this list with the most support among 1.00

01:31:58 black women. She's been

01:32:00 rallying voters for the midterm elections 1.00

01:32:02 by touting her controversial plan 0.88

01:32:04 to abolish the electoral 0.79

01:32:06 college and add justices

01:32:08 to the Supreme Court. Oh, that

01:32:10 is... My gosh. That can't

01:32:12 happen. Right. Oof.

01:32:15 That would be

01:32:16 catastrophic.

01:32:18 Then they list Gavin

01:32:20 Newsom, of course.

01:32:22 Josh Shapiro,

01:32:25 the Pennsylvania

01:32:26 governor, he's not

01:32:28 going to make it because Democrats 0.99

01:32:29 hate Jews. They're too 0.99

01:32:32 anti-Semitic now. They're not going to do that.

01:32:34 I mean, look, that's...

01:32:35 Kamala Harris told us that.

01:32:38 Right? Kamala Harris, we witnessed that.

01:32:40 She couldn't do the Jew 1.00

01:32:42 and she couldn't do the gay. 1.00

01:32:44 Couldn't do either one of them.

01:32:45 Because the backlash she feared.

01:32:48 It's pretty amazing.

01:32:49 Their own rules just don't...

01:32:52 I know.

01:32:55 Then we get to AOC.

01:32:56 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

01:32:58 Democrat socialists are having their own

01:33:00 moment after helping

01:33:02 New York City mayor

01:33:03 become mayor

01:33:05 they and the broader progressive movement

01:33:08 ousted long time members of

01:33:10 Congress in deep blue cities and

01:33:11 one hard fought

01:33:13 primary in Michigan

01:33:15 AOC was one of the first

01:33:17 members of the Democratic Socialists

01:33:19 of America to win federal office

01:33:21 local member 0.99

01:33:23 right she's not

01:33:25 the national office she is not part of the national because they kind of disowned her

01:33:29 she won't say that israel should be destroyed so she's not good enough she's not good enough

01:33:37 for the dsa uh another one they mentioned and this is a kind of a frightening possibility

01:33:43 because he's a veteran former astronaut mark kelly he's okay so that we were told that this

01:33:49 was obama's guy all right that obama wanted him instead of uh kamala uh in the beginning when

01:33:56 after joe biden dropped out that was the big fight um which is why they they say it took so

01:34:01 long for biden to you know uh endorse kamala and say she was the one because they were fighting

01:34:07 over mark kelly but he has really turned into uh the trump derangement syndrome and whatever other

01:34:15 douchey stuff about that man he's he's really come across with that he's he's less likable than

01:34:22 very much so he's unlikable uh the the trump derangement syndrome has turned him into a

01:34:29 really ugly human it's very true yeah uh then they have to mention of course pete buddha judge 0.96

01:34:35 because of course well you'd be homophobic if you if you don't mention him right uh we don't 0.71

01:34:40 want to be homophobic and neither does the washington post and that's why look that's

01:34:44 why they throw in uh what's his face from pennsylvania too because they don't want to be

01:34:48 they want to pretend like they oh we we like we're not anti-semitic do you yeah okay right

01:34:53 their middle of the pack possibilities uh include jb pritzker the billionaire governor of illinois

01:35:02 he thinks a lot of himself but that's not going to happen he does andy beshear oh the governor

01:35:08 of kentucky who was trying like crazy to get mitch mcconnell to to respond to anything to say

01:35:16 anything to do anything and and and i was you know it's now i'm thinking about him running for

01:35:24 president if he that's why he's kind of gone quiet now okay so if he waits a little bit uh

01:35:31 till after the election to uh get loud about mitch mcconnell he could really make a face for

01:35:38 himself yeah he could that's that's not a bad that's not a bad call uh jared polis the governor

01:35:44 of colorado i don't see it happening nobody knows who he is uh gretchen whitmer nobody cares about

01:35:50 her anymore she's a nightmare i think she's out yeah she's out same with what's her she's in the

01:35:54 same boat as what's her face from new york they're just both yeah okay we got you then the post

01:36:01 mentions people like cory booker and a few other senators i i don't think cory booker doesn't have

01:36:06 a chance no and he's in the same boat as war knock they they're the same kind of mold they're

01:36:11 not it's not going to happen chris murphy from connecticut no oh yeah he's he's thinks he's

01:36:17 pretty i mean he looks good on a soundbite from time to time but no uh wow a blast from the past

01:36:24 rom emmanuel oh yeah he's been making a little bit of noise yeah he's trying yeah he is remember me

01:36:31 i was with bill clinton member member that's absolutely right people used to like me and

01:36:36 know who i was remember me and i'm not as far left as those other people remember me yeah he

01:36:41 definitely is doing that yeah yeah and roe connor congressman from california he's again again he's

01:36:49 not likable enough no he's not makes a lot of good noise and he's you know he's got trump

01:36:53 derangement syndrome too but he uh he's not likable enough that's the same with mark kelly

01:36:59 right he's just not likable yeah that's that's a problem yeah uh and then they list a couple of

01:37:06 dark horses like steven a smith yeah i don't know it's not gonna happen it just seems steven's got

01:37:12 a good gig so he wanted to be president make it 20 million a year but probably more serious pay cut

01:37:18 probably more you know with endorsements and everything i'm sure yeah and he's living a pretty

01:37:22 good life yeah he is he's living a pretty darn good life yes he is uh hey i don't think steven

01:37:28 wants to give that up i don't blame him uh one bit not at all but there's no way why why run for

01:37:35 an office when he's sitting on top of his throne yeah and you know he's one of the few sports guys

01:37:42 we even mention you talk about politics from time to time yeah one of the very few so he's got a

01:37:48 little bit of credibility and then he's got this great life at espn i can't see it happening no

01:37:54 way i mean i think he likes to be listened to sure i think he likes to be noticed and talked about

01:38:00 which is why he gets the politics stuff yeah right and he doesn't do it on his espn deal he

01:38:06 does it on his own little podcast but it gets tied into the espn because he's so big there

01:38:11 he's he's not gonna get rid of that but the thing is i don't think any of them can beat jd vance

01:38:16 i i i really don't and they're gonna be hammering him well yeah or marco uh i don't know

01:38:23 Oh boy, little Marco comes back

01:38:27 I think Marco, I think he could win too

01:38:29 I'm not as

01:38:31 confident about him winning

01:38:33 against any of them

01:38:34 as J.D. for some reason

01:38:36 I do like the J.D. Vance-Marco Rubio

01:38:39 ticket, I do like that

01:38:41 It's not going to happen

01:38:43 but I'd love that ticket

01:38:45 Really, they're interchangeable

01:38:47 Either one could be at the top

01:38:48 but again, J.D. is not going to be the

01:38:50 vice presidential candidate

01:38:52 no way no way would he do that be our running vice president that's his job

01:38:58 every year now we got ron desantis being governor for multiple states but after time runs out you

01:39:05 move on and you got jd vance as the perpetual vice president and for some reason i think in

01:39:11 the mind of most people most republicans uh desantis has already been eliminated i don't

01:39:16 know why that is that i don't know why and i guess it's just because he ran against trump but so did

01:39:23 these other guys so did marco you know he's the guy that ran against trump that didn't really get

01:39:28 the firestorm of donald trump i mean marco got destroyed yeah i mean i'm still calling and we

01:39:34 love him now i'm still calling him little marco as you just did as a joke but i mean that's yeah

01:39:40 that was for real yeah it was uh during that during that election there was some animosity

01:39:44 between yeah that's all forgiven and forgotten it sure is i'm the only the marco would be no i we

01:39:50 don't think about that but in desantis's case it's not you know right i think the big trump

01:39:56 supporters uh still have a thing against them they do it's weird yeah 888-727-BECK more coming up in

01:41:10 all right this uh there's a nashville teacher talking about the state of education uh and

01:41:23 i'm sure the state of education has never been better right we've got we've got a perfect

01:41:30 situation in our state of education we sure do uh and you sure do here here's this teacher

01:41:37 talking about it these kids are leaving high school and going to college and they couldn't

01:41:44 fill in four words right man four words i literally broke down in the middle of class

01:41:53 this is only day two and i have seniors who simply cannot read and seniors

01:42:05 who cannot realize it.

01:42:07 Wow. Nashville, Tennessee.

01:42:08 They can reason.

01:42:10 They have the ability to defend their reasoning

01:42:12 if it's talking to their homeboy,

01:42:14 but applying that to a written text,

01:42:17 two paragraphs,

01:42:20 and they couldn't do it.

01:42:21 Our young black men,

01:42:24 our young brown men,

01:42:26 our young black girls,

01:42:29 and our young brown girls.

01:42:35 That's really heartbreaking.

01:42:36 It sure is.

01:42:37 Because you could tell it's sincere, and he really feels it.

01:42:40 He's really concerned about them.

01:42:42 And, yeah, if they're 17, if they're seniors in high school

01:42:45 and they can't read, how does that even happen?

01:42:48 Can't put things down?

01:42:49 I don't know.

01:42:50 And, look, by the time they get to him, he can do everything he can

01:42:55 to make it better, but it's going to take more than a class every other day

01:43:01 or how many times he has to see them.

01:43:03 Well, and if you get them at seniors and you've got to take them all the way back to first grade to learn how to read, oof.

01:43:11 Right.

01:43:12 That's putting them way behind anyway, even if you teach them how to read now, because they should be at a whole different level and they're not.

01:43:20 And that's, you know, then we get them into college.

01:43:23 I don't know, you know, they get accepted into college somehow.

01:43:27 You don't want to give them grades because you don't want them to feel bad.

01:43:30 So a lot of that, I think people are attributing a lot of that to the COVID situation where they were out of school for, in some cases, a year and a half or two years for some of these kids.

01:43:41 And were just online doing it at their own pace and speed, and it just didn't work.

01:43:46 Right.

01:43:47 Because they did nothing.

01:43:48 So now how do you like the school closures during COVID?

01:43:52 How'd that work out for us?

01:43:53 Not very well.

01:43:55 But if they were already behind even before then.

01:43:57 Yeah.

01:43:58 Right?

01:43:58 Yeah, for sure.

01:43:59 They should have been able to read by then.

01:44:01 That's why there was, what state, was it Mississippi or Louisiana that had, I think

01:44:06 it was Mississippi, that was breaking down their kids so that if they couldn't read at

01:44:11 a certain level in second or third grade, they were mandated to redo the class, redo

01:44:18 the year.

01:44:19 Yeah.

01:44:19 You're just going to, you got to get it right.

01:44:21 Instead of just pushing them ahead.

01:44:23 Right.

01:44:23 Let them go. 0.93

01:44:24 Right.

01:44:24 Well, no.

01:44:25 That's not doing them any favors.

01:44:27 In second and third grade and fourth grade, that's the time to hold the kids back because they don't feel like it's a terrible thing.

01:44:35 You start holding kids back in 10th, 11th, and 12th grade.

01:44:38 Now you're looking at peer pressure and jokes.

01:44:42 It's not a good thing.

01:44:44 Then we've got these students who went on a great field trip. 0.67

01:44:48 Oh, a great field trip to a mosque.

01:44:52 I was so angry at this video yesterday.

01:44:55 Check this out.

01:44:57 it's always exciting to have the opportunity to speak to the general community about islam

01:45:06 sure and this past week right before ramadan started we were blessed to have a group of

01:45:17 high school students from kingwood high school and itasca sida high school oh this is in the

01:48:09 pat and jeffy for glenn today uh in maine you know where they swapped out graham plattner

01:48:22 for troy jackson uh it's turning out to be i don't know a decent move by the democrats because

01:48:29 uh susan collins actually led plattner by four percentage points i think she's a little bit

01:48:36 behind supposedly in polls 0.60

01:48:38 this Troy Jackson, but

01:48:40 the Bangor Daily News

01:48:42 in collaboration

01:48:44 with the Maine Monitor,

01:48:46 two of my favorite publications

01:48:47 in the world,

01:48:49 the report states that this

01:48:51 Troy Jackson was involved in

01:48:54 an assault at a home

01:48:56 in Fort Kent, Maine

01:48:57 in the early morning hours

01:48:59 of March 12th,

01:49:02 1988.

01:49:06 and so they reach back a ways to try to find something uh you know on this guy and uh that's

01:49:14 it there you go so apparently uh lana pelletier jackson's girlfriend of roughly 40 years

01:49:23 his girlfriend of 40 years i'm glad to see they're not rushing into anything

01:49:29 all right let's just let's try it out for a while see how it goes we'll give this relationship a

01:49:34 little bit of a test drive i don't know i don't know if it you know it's maybe time maybe not 0.98

01:49:42 anyway she claimed at the time that he pushed her around and that uh she planned to seek

01:49:50 cease harassment papers she claims that didn't happen now that oh yeah there was some other

01:49:57 there was a guy there as well that wasn't this troy jackson and troy jackson hit him in the face

01:50:03 but claims he didn't do anything to his girlfriend.

01:50:07 And now she claims that as well.

01:50:09 Well, there you go.

01:50:10 So I'm sure nothing's going to come of that.

01:50:12 Right.

01:50:14 There was some kind of altercation.

01:50:16 Yes, in the house, but supposedly not her.

01:50:20 And it happened, I mean, like last month, right?

01:50:24 Well, March of 1988.

01:50:30 I wasn't even born in 88.

01:50:33 so i mean wow i can't even imagine things no there was life yeah there was before in maine

01:50:41 there were people in maine uh before you were even born is that incredible that is yeah uh

01:50:48 also some breaking news yeah luigi manjoni has pled guilty he did plead they thought he might

01:50:55 and he did to stalking charges to the federal charges right in federal court right because

01:51:01 And he had originally pled not guilty.

01:51:04 So the judge is going to sentence him at a later date, of course,

01:51:07 because the judges can't be expected to make a decision right now.

01:51:10 Not right now.

01:51:11 Oh, we can't do that.

01:51:12 The federal charges carry a possibility of life in prison.

01:51:17 The plea does throw a wrench.

01:51:19 I know.

01:51:20 But it does throw a wrench in the murder case from New York State.

01:51:24 Which is why he's pleading guilty to a federal charge,

01:51:27 because it was just stalking where death is involved.

01:51:30 Right.

01:51:30 I'm not sure what the statute reads.

01:51:32 The state trial is supposed to start September 8th.

01:51:36 Wow.

01:51:36 And so now...

01:51:38 So now there's double jeopardy involved, right?

01:51:40 Well, that's what they're going to try to plead.

01:51:43 I'll wager 500, Alex, on the double jeopardy.

01:51:46 The attorneys are going to ask Justice Gregory Caro for the state overseeing the murder case

01:51:51 to toss the murder charges under the double jeopardy grounds.

01:51:56 Right.

01:51:56 That doesn't mean it's going to happen.

01:51:57 No, not for sure.

01:51:59 But you have a feeling that you know Justice Gregory Caro

01:52:03 because you just wagered against him.

01:52:06 Yes.

01:52:07 That's what you did.

01:52:08 So that's interesting.

01:52:10 We'll see if that sticks.

01:52:12 I don't know.

01:52:12 The family of the health care.

01:52:15 Brian Thompson?

01:52:16 Yeah, Brian Thompson's family.

01:52:17 It'd be pissed about this.

01:52:20 I would be.

01:52:21 I am kind of now.

01:52:22 I'm not even related.

01:52:24 You're going to charge him?

01:52:25 You're going to try him for stalking instead of murder?

01:52:27 Right?

01:52:28 When we all saw him do the murder on tape, on video, on digital evidence.

01:52:37 That was unbelievable.

01:52:38 Thank you for clearing that up.

01:52:39 I know.

01:52:39 It wasn't on tape.

01:52:40 I catch myself saying on tape too many times.

01:52:45 Nothing's on tape anymore.

01:52:48 That's why.

01:52:48 Join us in this century.

01:52:50 Thank you.

01:52:51 All right.

01:52:52 888-727-BECK.

01:52:54 James in Georgia.

01:52:54 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program with Pat and Jeffy.

01:52:58 Hey, guys. Yesterday, or maybe today, too, you guys were talking about the next presidential ticket for the Republicans.

01:53:09 And if I could have my choice, I would say J.D. Vance for president, Marco Rubio for vice president, to give him experience so that the next eight years he can be president.

01:53:20 I love Ron DeSantis, but I think he needs a little bit more foreign diplomacy experience.

01:53:25 So put him as Secretary of State.

01:53:27 And U.S. law does not require you to be an attorney, to be the attorney general.

01:53:35 Right.

01:53:35 Senate confirmation process does. 0.96

01:53:38 But they can change that.

01:53:40 And as attorney general, have Donald Trump.

01:53:47 You got it all worked out.

01:53:49 You do have it all worked out.

01:53:51 We just need to get the participants to sign off on it.

01:53:54 That is awesome, though.

01:53:55 We'll see how that works, but thanks, James.

01:53:56 I like the idea of keeping Donald Trump in on it, though.

01:54:00 That is awesome.

01:54:01 Can you imagine, though, that he would go from president to any lesser office than that?

01:54:06 No, not a chance.

01:54:07 I don't think that's happening.

01:54:09 That's why he's just going to run for president again.

01:54:12 He just finally said this week.

01:54:15 Did you see?

01:54:16 He actually spoke about it in real terms.

01:54:19 In real terms, he knows that he's not going to run again.

01:54:21 He loves to poke the left with it by wearing Trump 28 hats and things like that.

01:54:27 And he's mentioned it multiple times.

01:54:28 Yes, he has.

01:54:29 Everybody wants him to run.

01:54:30 We're looking into it.

01:54:31 He actually did say this week that the law is pretty clear, pretty strong.

01:54:37 Pretty strong.

01:54:38 On limiting to two terms.

01:54:40 Oh, he didn't couch it with we're looking into it.

01:54:43 No, he didn't.

01:54:44 Not this time.

01:54:45 He's done playing around.

01:54:45 Yeah.

01:54:46 Yeah, he's had enough of it.

01:54:48 He's had enough playing around.

01:54:50 Okay, fine.

01:54:50 Yeah.

01:54:51 And he's got enough to poke the left with.

01:54:53 That's for sure.

01:54:54 And he's got enough to get poked with,

01:54:56 so it's time to maybe buckle down a little bit.

01:54:59 Holy cow.

01:55:01 All right.

01:55:02 So something else that has to be discussed,

01:55:06 and we need to come to a conclusion on, 0.99

01:55:09 is what's going to happen with the WNBA?

01:55:14 Because Ennis Cantor Freedom and Royce White

01:55:20 both seem to be pretty serious about this.

01:55:23 Absolutely, they are.

01:55:24 I know they're poking the WNBA a little bit,

01:55:26 but I think they really want to play.

01:55:28 I think they...

01:55:30 Will they claim that they identify as females? 0.97

01:55:33 Just to play. 1.00

01:55:34 Just to play.

01:55:35 That's what they're doing.

01:55:36 Here was Royce White in an interview.

01:55:39 I think this was yesterday.

01:55:41 Could this culminate in you actually playing in the WNBA?

01:55:45 It better? 0.53

01:55:45 Better.

01:55:46 Why wouldn't they let me play?

01:55:47 He's got his wig on.

01:55:49 Looks great.

01:55:50 completely bigoted

01:55:52 to deny my trans existence.

01:55:54 Right? I mean, that's

01:55:56 their game. Now,

01:55:58 Cantor won't say that he's

01:56:00 trans, right? I haven't heard him say it.

01:56:03 Royce White is kind of

01:56:04 playing that game. That's their

01:56:06 game. I know.

01:56:09 I mean, they

01:56:10 have to. I mean, they had their meeting

01:56:12 I think yesterday. They did and

01:56:14 came to no conclusion, really.

01:56:16 No conclusion. Now they're going to meet again and they've

01:56:18 We've got another task force set up, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:56:22 But they're going to have to make a decision soon.

01:56:26 And to make the decision that needs to happen,

01:56:29 there's going to be some unhappy people.

01:56:32 Yeah.

01:56:33 Yeah, you're not going to be able to please all of your radical friends.

01:56:36 No, you are not.

01:56:36 On this thing.

01:56:37 Because they can't allow it and ruin the league.

01:56:40 Because it would.

01:56:41 It will.

01:56:41 It just would.

01:56:42 uh but here is the indiana fever coach talking about sophie cunningham who kind of sparked all

01:56:50 of this talk about uh men playing in the women's league because she's not in favor of trans people

01:56:56 playing well she's just in favor of uh what's real yeah right boys are boys wants to play against

01:57:02 women not biological men and so she was accosted the other night on the court uh and and and it

01:57:10 He was clotheslined.

01:57:12 That's not even a legal tackle in the NFL.

01:57:15 Right.

01:57:16 You can't even do that anymore in the NFL.

01:57:18 No.

01:57:19 And so she gets clotheslined, and then what's her name?

01:57:22 Cunningham got kicked out of the game.

01:57:25 Kerrigan.

01:57:26 Kerrigan got kicked out of the game, got technical fouls,

01:57:30 all the good stuff.

01:57:32 Tweeted out white privilege afterwards.

01:57:34 Right, and people were saying that the coach didn't seem as angry

01:57:38 uh angry as she should have been at the time yeah and she says here uh in her little rant

01:57:46 because she's angry that people think she doesn't care that she didn't see the actual

01:57:51 which we showed yesterday we showed her uh a still photo of her looking right at it correct

01:57:58 so we don't know what she was looking at but this is her rant and it's really this is what

01:58:03 you're gonna get yeah i mean yeah you know this isn't necessarily for those people that are in

01:58:09 this room um this is more for an online community that's trying trying to create narratives that

01:58:17 simply don't exist okay trying to create a fabrication or distortion of who i am

01:58:22 uh-huh of what i'm about uh-huh our player success our players health and wellness our

01:58:28 player safety is always a top priority for me.

01:58:30 One of the things I pride myself on is my relationships with players.

01:58:34 Pause this for a second.

01:58:35 This is the same coach that did very little when Caitlin Clark was assaulted

01:58:39 on the court.

01:58:41 She wasn't outraged by that.

01:58:43 No, she wasn't.

01:58:44 Certainly didn't seem like it anyway.

01:58:46 That's correct.

01:58:47 And she's not outraged by Sophie being closed line.

01:58:49 And if I'm not mistaken, she said she didn't see the Caitlin Clark thing

01:58:52 in real time either, didn't she?

01:58:54 Oh, she did.

01:58:55 Yeah, I think she did. 1.00

01:58:55 What the hell is she doing out there? 0.97

01:58:57 I know.

01:58:57 What game are you watching?

01:58:59 I mean, I realize you're a coach.

01:59:00 I mean, maybe you're talking to players or something,

01:59:02 but there's the actual game that you're supposed to be coaching.

01:59:06 Right.

01:59:06 Anyway, go ahead.

01:59:08 I'm sorry.

01:59:09 Anything to say about the play in the last game?

01:59:11 I didn't see the play in real time.

01:59:13 I went straight to a press conference.

01:59:14 I thought the play got called right.

01:59:16 Thankfully, Sophie's okay.

01:59:18 Was it egregious?

01:59:19 Absolutely.

01:59:20 You bet it was.

01:59:20 When you have a chance to watch that over and over and over on replay,

01:59:24 you can see that.

01:59:26 I didn't have that in real time.

01:59:27 I take personally

01:59:32 any suggestions

01:59:34 that I don't 100% always have

01:59:36 my players back. I ride with them

01:59:38 10 toes down all the time. It doesn't seem like that.

01:59:40 All the time. Keep reading it.

01:59:41 They know that. Okay. It's a shame that

01:59:44 we can't have an opportunity to talk

01:59:46 about what great basketball they're playing.

01:59:49 Oh, because it's not

01:59:50 great basketball. That's why we're not talking

01:59:52 about it. It is though.

01:59:54 Indiana's been out of town. The reality is

01:59:56 with me i will always lead with love oh i will always lead with grace okay i will always lead

02:00:04 with humility pause it you can't lead with all three of those things you gotta pick one to lead

02:00:09 with that's why she's a professional sports coach okay she can lead with those three things

02:00:16 wow all in the lead now the thing is is maybe she can't she tells us in a moment that that uh 1.00

02:00:22 Maybe she doesn't get it right every time. 1.00

02:00:25 Maybe pick one.

02:00:26 Then you get that right.

02:00:29 And then move on to the next.

02:00:30 Move on to the next, yeah.

02:00:31 But there's more.

02:00:32 ...leave with integrity.

02:00:34 Doesn't mean I'll always get it right.

02:00:36 No, that's for sure.

02:00:37 I'm also human.

02:00:39 The hate, the fear-mongering, the divisiveness,

02:00:42 the stuff that's trying to hijack our league will not win.

02:00:47 That's Ennis.

02:00:48 Yep.

02:00:49 It won't win.

02:00:50 That's Ennis and Royce.

02:00:51 we are united we are connected we will not be divided 0.99

02:00:57 every day these women you're already on the line oh every day every day when they go low we go high

02:01:31 matters affecting the wnba and we strongly denounce the bad faith efforts to use these

02:03:45 and join Glenn in France or wherever he is.

02:03:48 Well, I'm going to Spain.

02:03:49 I know they're not friends of the country, and Mr. President doesn't care for them too much,

02:03:53 but that's where I've got my castle.

02:03:55 All right.

02:03:56 Yeah, that makes it tough.

02:03:57 Yeah.

02:03:57 That makes it tough.

02:03:59 I don't actually know what James Tallarico said.

02:04:03 He is the Senate candidate running up against Kent Paxton for U.S. Senate in Texas.

02:04:09 No one has seen this clip.

02:04:10 I haven't seen this clip, but we're going to learn it together.

02:04:12 Okay.

02:04:13 Here's how you teach the Bible to kids.

02:04:16 This one is maybe the most insidious.

02:04:18 It was a new state curriculum that would teach Christian Bible stories as historical fact,

02:04:25 as the only truth to our youngest students.

02:04:28 And I mean kindergarten, first graders.

02:04:30 These are kids who aren't able to think for themselves yet.

02:04:34 They haven't formed their own worldviews.

02:04:37 Wow.

02:04:39 To push propaganda, to push indoctrination from those youngest students is deeply immoral.

02:04:45 Well, he's a seminarian.

02:04:47 Okay, this guy's a seminarian?

02:04:49 Yeah, yeah.

02:04:50 That is unbelievable. 0.97

02:04:52 Well, he proves it every day how he is a Christian who hates Christianity. 0.94

02:04:59 Right? 0.97

02:04:59 How many times does he have to show us that?

02:05:01 I just want to say.

02:05:02 Oh, man.

02:05:04 Vote Ken Paxton in the state of Texas.

02:05:07 I don't care how many mistresses he has. 1.00

02:05:09 He could have a harem. 0.98

02:05:11 All right.
