We're just about to do the podcast, and Sarah's like, you gotta do the podcast intro.
00:00:37.080
We're talking about Christy Noem killing her dog.
00:00:41.860
Well, a lot, because that's not going to be on the podcast today.
00:00:45.520
She was at the vice presidential retreat, if you will.
00:00:55.680
He's too low energy and, I don't know, the eyebrows.
00:01:05.060
I'm trying to pick for Trump's preference in real life.
00:01:12.740
Like, not necessarily who I think would be the best, but who he's going to pick.
00:01:15.180
Yeah, the only thing I would change is maybe, except for the dog thing, is Christy Noem.
00:01:32.700
Yeah, the PR fight back on the book has not gone well, so I don't think...
00:01:38.340
But he said about J.D. Vance, he said, quote, he wasn't a supporter of Biden at the very beginning.
00:01:45.080
He was saying things like, the guy's a total disaster.
00:01:50.620
As a non-politician, he's become one of the great senators.
00:01:57.280
I don't know, there's things like, those are two attributes that Trump likes in people.
00:02:02.820
Two, people who used to not like him, but if he's won over.
00:02:06.020
Like, that is a big category that Donald Trump likes.
00:02:11.020
He likes bringing it up, too, that you didn't get him right the first time.
00:02:14.100
Yeah, and Christy Noem, I think I'm just going to send a Jada.
00:02:27.220
For years, I woke up pretty much every day of my life feeling like there was an elephant
00:02:34.460
I went to every doctor you could possibly imagine, and they did all kinds of tests,
00:02:39.000
and I tried all kinds of things, and none of it worked.
00:02:42.320
Thank God, Tanya talked me into the prying relief factor.
00:02:48.760
She didn't talk me any more threatened than talked me into.
00:02:54.920
It's a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain by fighting inflammation.
00:03:00.460
Over a million people have tried Relief Factor's Quick Start Kit, and 70% of them have gone
00:03:09.100
And I just, I was like, I got to the point where I said, I can't do this anymore.
00:03:19.280
I'm not going to listen to you whine if you don't try absolutely everything.
00:03:23.700
Three weeks later, I said to her, I don't think this is working.
00:03:30.940
I just thought it was like, ah, this is my head doing, mm-mm.
00:03:36.920
Comes with Relief Factor's Feel Better or Your Money Back Guarantee, so give it a try.
00:03:47.520
When you feel the difference, you know it works.
00:03:57.460
You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:04:08.460
Pat's a little, he looks a little peaky today because he was at the Madonna concert in Brazil.
00:04:20.180
It was not, it's not worth what we paid for, you know, which was free.
00:04:36.920
You know, just getting back from Rio and all, but other than that, doing good.
00:04:41.380
That's the only thing that could get you to Rio, too.
00:04:47.040
And I said, Madonna's doing a free concert on the beach.
00:05:07.980
She really wants to try to pretend that she's 23 still?
00:05:17.280
Okay, I've got something here that I think is, well, it's going to cheer you up.
00:05:28.120
First cut for college student who's a little upset.
00:05:38.560
I'm being restricted from a lot of things right now.
00:05:42.620
That I didn't expect to be for standing up for something that I believe in.
00:05:47.280
I have family coming in who I have to let them know to, you know, not come to my graduation ceremonies.
00:05:56.400
I mean, I'm a 2020 high school grad, so I wasn't able to walk then.
00:06:11.260
Knowing what you know now, like you said, you were standing up for a cause, would you do
00:06:19.020
I was doing what I believed was right, and I still believe it to be right.
00:06:23.280
So much harm has been done to all of those people.
00:06:30.840
You mean the people that were raped and then stabbed and then the kids set on fire?
00:06:38.720
The other people who were told to leave and then airdropped food and then.
00:06:48.980
Now, parents, how many times have we said this?
00:06:58.100
You're paying the price being a parent because you showed up for all of your kids' activities.
00:07:07.400
Am I the only one whose narcissistic parent would show up to every single event I was ever involved in?
00:07:14.220
This is one of those weird ones where I always felt like speaking about this behavior negatively could be perceived in the wrong way.
00:07:24.360
And how lucky was I to have a parent who always showed up?
00:07:30.140
But did you also feel like sometimes it was a bit excessive?
00:07:33.900
Especially if it was a bit more of a repetitive thing where maybe I was doing the same thing on multiple days in a row.
00:07:50.120
Going to every single one of your performances.
00:08:04.280
We made effort to make sure we didn't miss any of them.
00:08:19.880
We'll worry about you if you don't come back by 6 the next morning.
00:08:40.400
Because there is obviously a thing that has been talked about, like the helicopter parenting
00:08:46.620
I mean, because just showing up for an event isn't helicopter parenting.
00:08:59.260
Because it seemed like you just wanted to support them.
00:09:10.080
This makes me look really good if I go to all your stupid events that I don't want
00:09:34.300
Where you see your kid or your grandkid for five minutes and then it's three hours
00:09:39.080
It's like, okay, I'd chew my arm off to get out of that.
00:09:48.000
And Cheyenne was in it for like, I don't know, three minutes.
00:10:12.100
They never have events at the casino, which is where I am.
00:10:19.020
I think Pat will at least be able to agree with this.
00:10:22.380
It's like, you know, there's certain things that you like that your kids do.
00:10:30.920
It's really fun to watch her do her events in gymnastics.
00:10:37.920
I say to my wife all the time, honey, we're sitting in the back.
00:10:56.880
I don't know those kids, but I don't like them.
00:10:58.940
Because they generally don't like other people's kids.
00:11:02.660
If you're honest, nobody likes other people's kids.
00:11:09.760
And I certainly don't like that kid that we just heard from.
00:11:24.120
Because you don't realize it when you're a kid that your parents have lives, right?
00:11:29.380
You don't think of it as like they're canceling something they could be doing to come to your
00:11:33.960
You just think of it as that's their job, and they're supposed to be there.
00:11:36.460
I'm going to say something I always hated when I heard it.
00:11:47.060
I hope that girl gets four children exactly like her.
00:12:03.920
Problem is, she's so narcissistic, she won't have any children.
00:12:13.220
If you're narcissistic, please don't have children.
00:12:16.280
If you're going to school and you're babbling that nonsense, I don't want you to have children.
00:12:25.860
These are the kind of idiots, though, that are supporting Hamas, right?
00:12:37.940
How could you possibly be in the LGBT community and be standing up for Hamas?
00:12:46.520
It makes no sense unless you're so blind and narcissistic that all you think about is me and my gayness,
00:12:54.420
and I'm going to bring some credibility to this movement.
00:13:01.240
These stances don't even make sense with each other anymore.
00:13:06.220
But they've all been combined now for some reason.
00:13:11.700
And I think it's an overall politics thing, right?
00:13:14.160
If your team tells you that you're supposed to support this, then you do for, what, 70% of America?
00:13:34.460
So which side do you all think North Korea supports, Palestine or Israel?
00:13:44.260
The DPRK has actually never recognized the state of Israel.
00:13:49.080
They have always upheld the right of Palestinian people to self-determination and resistance.
00:13:54.420
And this is beyond moral and rhetorical support.
00:13:57.540
The DPRK has actively armed and trained Palestinian resistance for decades.
00:14:01.980
That includes the PLO, the PFLP, and the DFLP have trained troops by the DPRK.
00:14:12.680
If you were listening to Friday's show or you listened to Pat a couple of weeks ago, you heard the guy we had on that said the United States government took the Malaysian airliner, opened up a wormhole, and sucked that plane through it.
00:14:27.640
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, I'd like them to prove that reality with all of these stupid, moronic kids.
00:14:36.980
Just open it up at a college campus, suck them out into space.
00:14:53.340
I'm shocked, by the way, if you're listening on radio and not seeing that clip, that she is wearing a mask outdoors while saying all of this, of course.
00:15:07.580
She was either given this stuff or she went online and was like, who else supports the Palestinians?
00:15:14.260
She's like North Korea's Corinne Jean-Pierre, right?
00:15:17.920
She's just sitting there reading every word that she's saying, propaganda.
00:15:32.740
If you're a leftist, not a Democrat, a leftist, you're listening to the sound of my voice right now.
00:15:43.820
But let me talk to you about the parallel economy.
00:15:48.180
People like that are going to be sent to the gulag for listening because they happen to actually catch my voice.
00:15:55.500
And they're like, oh, my gosh, it's Glenn Beck.
00:15:58.300
You have no idea what it is like to have every corporation in the world slap you in the face.
00:16:05.240
Once in a while, there's a company that's like, I actually like these people.
00:16:14.260
America's only Christian conservative mobile company, mobile phone company, is Patriot Mobile.
00:16:20.680
They offer dependable nationwide coverage so you can access any of the three major networks that everybody's on.
00:16:27.480
But you don't have to worry that your money is being sent to places like Planned Parenthood.

00:17:00.100
Are you better off than you were five years ago?
00:17:03.440
Is our country better than it was five years ago?
00:17:11.320
Are we more stable than we were five years ago, 10 years ago, 12 years ago?
00:17:18.120
Is the world closer to world peace or closer to world war than it was five years ago?
00:17:28.180
Are we closer to a nuclear war today than we were five years ago?
00:17:42.440
It was just a couple of years ago they started kicking this around and we all went, wait, I thought that was over.
00:17:57.480
Are we more respected in the world today than we were five years ago?
00:18:02.520
Do bad guy countries fear us more or less than five years ago?
00:18:13.500
Is our military more or less prepared for any major war than it was five years ago?
00:18:22.240
By the way, couple that with your answer, is the world closer to world peace or world war?
00:18:32.520
Are our streets safer than they were five years ago?
00:18:45.380
Remember, five years ago was the throes of BLM.
00:18:50.140
It was four or five years ago that everybody was on the street and they were marching to reimagine the police
00:18:56.500
and to put counselors out on the street instead of police officers.
00:19:02.520
Are we, are our cities struggling to hire more counselors or more police officers than they were five years ago?
00:19:13.140
Are our police officers more likely or less likely to jump in and help when there's a problem?
00:19:22.220
Your 911 service, is it faster than it was five years ago or is it slower, the response time, than it was five years ago?
00:19:36.840
Is our relationship between the police officers and blacks, Hispanics, anybody, is it better?
00:19:49.800
They needed counselors and they needed people to train the cops.
00:19:53.120
So is our police officer, our police force, their relationship, is it better or worse or the same than it was five years ago?
00:20:09.720
Didn't we go through all of that to fix that problem?
00:20:18.000
If someone commits a crime in America against you or against anybody that you know, are they more or less likely to go to jail?
00:20:38.620
Our justice system, do you have more trust in it or less trust?
00:20:44.180
If you don't trust the justice system and you don't trust the police and you don't trust the government, when you have a problem, who do you go to?
00:21:11.260
I mean, it used to be you could go to the media and the media would expose the bad guys and the government would come in and take care of it.
00:21:21.540
Or if the bad guys were the government, the people would take care of business.
00:21:26.560
Do you have more faith in the government than you did five years ago?
00:21:34.100
Do you have more faith in the media than you did five years ago?
00:21:41.280
You know, we had to bail out the banks in 2008.
00:22:00.100
Are our big banks bigger or smaller than they were in 2008?
00:22:09.000
Who was hurt by all of the fixes to make banks smaller so they would never be too big to fail?
00:22:17.480
The banks that were hurt, were they the big banks or were they the small banks?
00:22:22.040
Do you have trust in the security of your bank?
00:22:28.120
Is that trust getting better or worse than it was five years ago?
00:22:33.900
Do you have trust that our treasury and our federal reserve have your best interest at heart?
00:22:43.680
Is inflation better or worse than it was five years ago?
00:22:53.140
Is your confidence in the people that are in charge, is your confidence in them knowing how to fix it, being able to even assess what's going on, is your confidence in them getting better or worse?
00:23:09.360
Do you think they are adding to the problem or fixing the problem?
00:23:18.520
Do you know our new hopeful target for inflation is now 3%?
00:23:26.460
So that means we're hoping to hit 3% additional inflation every single year.
00:23:35.540
Prices don't go down, but they only go up from here 3% per year.
00:23:42.440
Over the last three years, official inflation was around 12%.
00:23:51.440
But their plan is to increase the inflation that we have right now by another 15% by the time the next president's term ends.
00:24:10.080
Is your gas price better or worse than it was five years ago?
00:24:27.280
Is it easier or harder for you to find a house?
00:24:38.100
Easier or more difficult than it was five years ago?
00:24:44.440
Is it lower or higher than it was five years ago?
00:24:56.980
Do you feel our children are more safe or less safe in their schools than you did five years ago?
00:25:04.980
Remember, it was about three years ago we started finding CRT.
00:25:10.700
All of this DEI, all of this stuff, has happened under this president.
00:25:22.620
Do you have more confidence in your school or less confidence in your school?
00:25:27.420
Do you have more confidence in your school's librarian or less confidence?
00:25:32.840
Are our children better educated or worse than five years ago?
00:25:42.340
Are our children more stable mentally than they were before all this gobbledygook started?
00:25:49.540
Do you believe that we have a handle on terrorism?
00:26:00.180
Is our country more safe from terrorists or less safe than it was five years ago?
00:26:19.540
I can't think of a category that has gotten better.
00:26:31.380
it doesn't speak of health in any way, shape, or form.
00:26:55.540
Not in a single category, at least that I can find.
00:27:26.000
Do you feel like we will have power when needed?
00:27:41.460
Your freedom, the fundamentals of our Bill of Rights,
00:27:52.100
that the people in Washington, I don't care what party they're from,
00:27:56.040
are actually going to enforce the Bill of Rights?
00:28:08.120
When a country goes this far off, there is a reckoning that comes.
00:28:18.520
It's like you tell your kids, you know, they're getting bad grades in school.
00:28:31.060
Let's get a, you know, we got to get to a tutor, whatever it is.
00:28:36.120
And you're like, there's going to come a time where it's too late for you
00:28:41.500
There's going to come a time where it's too late for you
00:28:44.120
and you're not going to be able to make it into college.
00:29:04.220
the reckoning just gets worse and worse and worse.
00:29:36.220
We're moving the chairs on the deck of the Titanic.
