Transcript

00:00:00.000 On today's podcast, President Trump says CBS's license should be pulled after they appear to
00:00:06.620 have edited the Kamala Harris 60 Minutes interview. Is he right? We'll explain what
00:00:12.300 you can do and how to hold them accountable. Plus, Isabel Brown talks about the stories
00:00:17.620 that Gen Z are paying attention to and how they're leaning conservative. Will this be
00:00:22.440 the generation that saves the republic? And I tweeted out a photograph of my son, Rafe,
00:00:27.380 Donald Trump and myself. How is it that my hair is so bad it makes his hair look good?
00:00:35.360 Yeah, it's a Friday podcast. Here's the best of. I want you to think about this for a second.
00:00:41.780 Your next vice president, the second most powerful person in the world, next in line for top position,
00:00:48.060 is a man who runs his state in such a way that children who survive abortions can still be killed.
00:00:54.420 That is true. No matter how many times they deny it, it's true. That's how committed he is to quote
00:01:02.400 women's rights. We are never going to win the abortion issue in legislation unless we first win
00:01:08.620 it in the hearts and minds of people. That's why I'm so proud to partner with Preborn because they're
00:01:13.120 entirely different. They are the country's largest pro-life organization and they are leading the
00:01:18.460 charge and every day they sponsor free ultrasounds for women as well as providing help for up to two
00:01:23.920 years after the baby is born. They don't just advocate for the baby's life and then forget about
00:01:28.880 them. It's the mom too. You're saving two lives. When she sees the unborn child on that monitor,
00:01:35.880 she is twice as likely to consider choosing life. Preborn is saving 200 babies a day. Donate,
00:01:42.920 will you? Dial pound 250, say the keyword baby. 28 bucks pays for an ultrasound.
00:01:48.760 Preborn.com slash Beck. Pound 250, keyword baby.
00:01:52.800 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:06.640 All right, so this debacle with 60 minutes and this debate now, because now the FCC is involved,
00:02:14.620 the FCC commissioner came out, this is an outrage. Here's what happened. Let's start at the very
00:02:21.220 beginning. On Sunday, last Sunday, on Face the Nation, CBS played a clip of an interview with Kamala
00:02:32.980 Harris. And here is the clip. Listen. Does the U.S. have no sway over Prime Minister Netanyahu?
00:02:42.360 The aid that we have given Israel allowed Israel to defend itself against 200 ballistic missiles
00:02:50.000 that were just meant to attack the Israelis and the people of Israel. And when we think about the threat
00:02:59.700 that Hamas, Hezbollah presents, Iran, I think that it is without any question our imperative to do what we can
00:03:09.640 to allow Israel to defend itself against those kinds of attacks. Now, the work that we do diplomatically
00:03:14.840 with the leadership of Israel is an ongoing pursuit around making clear our principles,
00:03:22.360 which include the need for humanitarian aid, the need for this war to end, the need for a deal to
00:03:31.220 be done, which would release the hostages and create a ceasefire. And we're not going to stop
00:03:37.620 in terms of putting that pressure on Israel and in the region, including Arab leaders.
00:03:42.400 But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.
00:03:47.680 Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel
00:03:58.380 that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs
00:04:07.920 to happen in the region.
00:04:08.900 Okay, so that's how she answered the question, at least when aired on Sunday. However, when they aired
00:04:18.980 the full special, this is how she answered the question.
00:04:22.740 Does the U.S. have no sway over Prime Minister Netanyahu?
00:04:28.580 The work that we do diplomatically with the leadership of Israel is an ongoing pursuit
00:04:35.180 around making clear our principles.
00:04:38.460 But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.
00:04:42.980 We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where
00:04:48.320 we stand on the need for this war to end.
00:04:50.760 Do we have a real close ally in Prime Minister Netanyahu?
00:04:58.940 I think, with all due respect, the better question is, do we have an important alliance
00:05:04.440 between the American people and the Israeli people?
00:05:08.720 And the answer to that question is yes.
00:05:10.840 Okay, so now, if CBS shortened for time, it's a standard broadcast thing, okay?
00:05:22.280 So if they shorten just for time, now they say they're doing that, and I would believe anyone
00:05:32.220 but 60 minutes, and here's why.
00:05:34.580 60 minutes doesn't usually edit for time when you are flailing.
00:05:41.820 That's the bread and butter of 60 minutes.
00:05:45.040 That moment where, well, but we have a picture here of you with your hand in the till taking the cash.
00:05:52.020 Well, I mean, that's not me.
00:05:58.380 Let's take that out.
00:05:59.060 He stuttered.
00:05:59.740 Yeah.
00:06:00.040 They don't do that.
00:06:00.700 They don't do that.
00:06:01.400 They don't ever do that.
00:06:02.740 In a presidential election, especially when every word counts because you have not heard
00:06:10.120 this woman before, and we need to know if she is together, you don't edit that.
00:06:18.720 If you do, you disclose that.
00:06:22.420 Now, the GOP in Washington, the House has asked for the transcript.
00:06:30.760 They won't release the transcript, the raw transcript.
00:06:34.500 Well, why not?
00:06:35.240 You do that for other broadcasts.
00:06:37.780 You always do that.
00:06:38.720 They've asked for him several times recently, and CBS just gives them the transcript.
00:06:44.340 There's no reason not to give them the transcript unless, and this is extraordinarily unethical
00:06:53.180 and not done in broadcast news, they took an answer from another question and went, that
00:07:01.620 one, put that one in there.
00:07:03.200 That summarizes.
00:07:05.040 You can't do that.
00:07:06.580 If I did that, if that's the way I took and did interviews, and I was talking to presidential
00:07:16.240 candidates, I was doing that in favor of, let's say, Donald Trump, and I'm like, no,
00:07:20.740 take that other answer, shorten it, and put it right there.
00:07:24.300 They would call for my head.
00:07:28.440 They would be calling right now to kick me off the air.
00:07:32.360 And you know what?
00:07:33.320 I think they'd have a point.
00:07:34.580 I really do.
00:07:35.320 If you are engaging in that, now, you want to engage in that and you're not 60 Minutes,
00:07:42.500 or quite honestly, you're not me, well, to each his own.
00:07:48.440 But I am claiming that I am on the side of truth.
00:07:54.040 60 Minutes is claiming they're on the side of truth.
00:07:58.140 We're in exactly the same situation.
00:08:01.700 Well, except we do tell the truth to the best of our ability.
00:08:07.060 The mainstream media is engaged in misinformation.
00:08:10.560 If we get something wrong, we correct it.
00:08:13.980 If somebody needed a transcript from me on an interview that I did, well, it's available
00:08:20.360 online.
00:08:21.540 We don't edit our interviews.
00:08:23.860 Never.
00:08:25.220 Never.
00:08:25.680 Never.
00:08:27.360 So, I don't edit for time?
00:08:30.360 No, don't.
00:08:31.560 But if I had to do an interview at two time, I might, but I wouldn't have a problem releasing
00:08:38.820 the unedited version.
00:08:40.840 So, people know.
00:08:42.060 We've done that before.
00:08:43.520 We've had interviews we had to cut short and we've said, go online, you'll get the full
00:08:48.620 interview.
00:08:49.960 Why won't they do that?
00:08:51.380 So, now, Donald Trump responds and he says that, let's see, he said that they should revoke
00:09:03.640 the license.
00:09:05.520 Thursday, CBS News should lose its broadcasting license over how it edited a 60-minute interview.
00:09:12.560 Okay.
00:09:13.280 That's not in quote.
00:09:14.360 And why can't I find the exact quote, Stu?
00:09:17.060 I had it here a minute ago.
00:09:18.540 Can you find the exact quote that he said?
00:09:21.720 Her real answer, here it is, her real answer was crazy or dumb, so they replaced it with
00:09:26.080 another answer in order to save her, at least make her look better.
00:09:30.600 A fake news scam, which is totally illegal, take away the CBS license.
00:09:36.500 Okay.
00:09:37.480 First of all, CBS doesn't have a license.
00:09:39.820 They don't give a license to the broadcast center.
00:09:46.560 They give it to individual stations.
00:09:50.140 So, he can't take away the license for CBS.
00:09:53.080 They don't operate under an FCC license.
00:09:56.020 However, all of the individual stations do.
00:10:00.640 Now, what does an individual station have to go through?
00:10:03.760 Well, I can tell you what radio goes through and I'll bet you TV goes through this as well.
00:10:07.340 Well, the FCC comes out every, I don't know what it is, four or six years, and they have
00:10:13.200 to see every single complaint, every single letter of complaint that comes in, and then
00:10:18.960 you're held to task to answer for that.
00:10:21.720 Well, how did you resolve that?
00:10:23.200 What happened?
00:10:24.860 Are they happy?
00:10:26.400 Do you think that was the right thing?
00:10:28.480 You have to have letters that say you're serving your community.
00:10:31.680 And they can just say, nope, I'm not going to renew your license.
00:10:36.780 That's why this show is different in some regard on radio than it is on The Blaze.
00:10:44.200 Not with very much, but I'm very cautious all the time because I grew up in radio and I
00:10:50.780 know the rules.
00:10:52.620 And I'm not going to be responsible for any station losing its license.
00:10:56.420 If I did that, I guarantee you the left would be on all of my radio stations saying they
00:11:06.100 should lose their license because that's the way they operate.
00:11:11.920 Now, that's the truth.
00:11:15.980 So you can say, oh my gosh, he's against freedom of speech.
00:11:19.720 Well, he can't be against freedom of speech because they don't have a license.
00:11:23.800 Should they answer?
00:11:26.460 Yes.
00:11:27.440 Should Congress call them in front of Congress and ask them, produce this?
00:11:33.600 We need to know.
00:11:35.040 This is election interference.
00:11:38.300 And if you didn't do it, that should be very, very clear.
00:11:43.100 Misinformation comes from people not being transparent.
00:11:47.000 When something doesn't make sense and that those two clips don't make sense, when it doesn't
00:11:53.300 make sense, you ask for an answer.
00:11:56.020 In normal times, you get an answer and you're like, okay, that makes sense.
00:11:59.920 And you go away.
00:12:01.440 Now, if 60 Minutes has an answer that makes sense, then why wouldn't they produce that
00:12:07.700 answer?
00:12:08.420 It makes no sense that you go for a week doing this because that's furthering misinformation.
00:12:15.720 It makes people more skeptical of what you're doing.
00:12:20.640 Why have that hassle?
00:12:22.580 Just release a transcript.
00:12:25.020 Now, when it comes to calling them in front of Congress, here's why I agree with that.
00:12:31.680 How can we call the social media companies in front of Congress and demand an answer?
00:12:40.260 And yet, the publicly licensed broadcast stations are not called into question.
00:12:49.900 They're always talking about social media's mis- and disinformation.
00:12:53.940 I think we have a pile of it from the broadcast networks and the individual stations.
00:13:01.480 Why don't we call them in front of Congress?
00:13:04.280 Why don't we question them?
00:13:06.040 I don't want to take away their license.
00:13:08.660 I believe you can be knowingly wrong.
00:13:13.040 You're a dirtbag, but you can do that.
00:13:16.200 Hopefully, as people are now watching broadcast television less and less, they lose their credibility
00:13:24.340 and people are like, they don't tell the truth anyway, so why am I watching them?
00:13:28.280 However, this is critical.
00:13:32.240 This year, we had ABC correcting things in a debate and being wrong about it.
00:13:40.860 That's election interference in my book.
00:13:45.580 If CBS did that, this is election interference in my book.
00:13:51.220 Take away their license?
00:13:52.900 No.
00:13:54.180 But make it very uncomfortable.
00:13:56.460 You come to Congress.
00:13:57.940 You show us the transcript.
00:13:59.680 Show us what's going on.
00:14:01.500 And then just say, have you no shame, CBS?
00:14:05.940 Yes, you're lecturing the world about mis- and disinformation, and you do this?
00:14:16.340 What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
00:14:21.120 They're trying to shut down all kinds of social media.
00:14:25.900 They're trying to shut you down and shut you up.
00:14:28.840 While they don't have to answer a question, this is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:14:40.440 So, Stu, thank goodness the Surgeon General has come out with that warning that marriage
00:14:48.000 and having children could be hazardous to your health.
00:14:53.720 Everything that's good is bad, Glenn.
00:14:56.240 They could just say that instead.
00:14:57.940 What is it?
00:14:59.200 Everything is solid is liquid?
00:15:01.140 Yeah.
00:15:02.020 That is where we are.
00:15:03.180 I said up will be down, down will be up, and everything is solid will be liquid.
00:15:07.180 That is where we are.
00:15:08.420 Now, being a parent is hazardous to your health.
00:15:12.160 And do you know why?
00:15:14.740 Because parents both have to work two jobs and then take care of their kids.
00:15:20.780 And it's so stressful, it cuts years of their life off.
00:15:24.620 So, do you know what their suggestion is?
00:15:31.600 Robots?
00:15:32.480 Robot children?
00:15:34.080 Right?
00:15:35.840 Elon Musk.
00:15:36.820 I told you he was in on it.
00:15:38.220 No, their suggestion is that you give the government more money and they'll watch your kids for you.
00:15:48.080 Now, of all of the ideas you could come up with, that one's the worst.
00:15:54.080 I mean, just not having kids is really evil and bad, if that's what your message is.
00:15:59.680 But, well, if you're going to have kids, give them to us to care for.
00:16:05.120 Give them to us.
00:16:06.160 Yeah.
00:16:06.500 Oh, my gosh.
00:16:07.380 That's evil.
00:16:08.000 I want to give it to the people who came up with the Epstein client list.
00:16:12.580 Right.
00:16:13.480 Those people are the ones I want to give my kids to.
00:16:15.680 Yeah.
00:16:15.940 I do feel like that is how the Matrix probably started, right?
00:16:19.100 Like, you just start giving your kids over to the government and then suddenly you're on there on a giant wall with tubes going into them and fueling.
00:16:24.620 Exactly right.
00:16:25.580 Yeah.
00:16:25.720 Well, listen to this.
00:16:26.820 Did you hear, here in Texas, in the Texas Spring Independent School District, these kids, preschool, yeah, preschool, they started coming home and they would not sleep at night.
00:16:43.960 And the parents are like, what the hell is going on with my kid?
00:16:46.780 And then somebody else is like, what the hell is happening with my kid?
00:16:49.700 And then one of the kids says, look, I got my sleepy sticker.
00:16:53.920 You're what?
00:16:55.580 Teachers were actually giving the kids sleeping stickers to put them asleep.
00:17:03.060 So when you would come in, you drop your child off, they go, who's going to go to seepy seep?
00:17:08.640 Yeah, you are.
00:17:09.620 And they put a sticker on the kid.
00:17:11.140 It releases melatonin and other things.
00:17:13.500 It put all the kids to sleep.
00:17:16.060 Are you kidding me?
00:17:18.120 And these are the people that care about our children more than you do.
00:17:22.760 Uh-huh.
00:17:23.720 Uh-huh.
00:17:24.120 Isabel Brown is somebody who I really, I'll tell you, I have seen the official birth of one star in my career that I think is massive and going to be even bigger.
00:17:39.140 Thanks, man.
00:17:39.380 Not you.
00:17:40.300 When you say-
00:17:40.840 It's Allie, Allie Beth Stuckey.
00:17:44.480 And I've been watching this other talent for a while now.
00:17:50.440 And I think she is huge.
00:17:53.500 I think she is one of the best commentators and knows how to use the medium probably better than anybody else.
00:18:00.400 Isabel Brown, and she's the host of the Isabel Brown Show.
00:18:05.400 It's the end of her career right here.
00:18:06.780 And when you get an intro like that from Glenn Beck, it's all over.
00:18:08.740 You're dead.
00:18:09.240 You're dead.
00:18:09.920 It's over, Isabel.
00:18:11.140 Welcome to the program.
00:18:12.040 How are you?
00:18:13.280 I am so great, Glenn.
00:18:14.780 Huge fan of yours.
00:18:15.700 And thank you for those kind words.
00:18:17.300 What a wonderful way to start my Friday.
00:18:19.000 Well, I have to tell you, I watch your stuff online, and I just, I mean, you really get it.
00:18:27.200 You're very, very smart.
00:18:29.020 You're relatable.
00:18:29.980 You know how the medium works.
00:18:32.020 I mean, you have it all.
00:18:34.000 You have it all.
00:18:36.080 Thank you very much.
00:18:37.220 You bet.
00:18:37.560 So let me talk to you about a couple of things that I just don't understand that are going on in society.
00:18:42.940 One of them is now the Surgeon General's warning about how having kids can be hazardous to your health, so give them to us.
00:18:54.840 Kind of sounds like a bad idea.
00:18:57.400 One would think, although I say quite often, especially in speaking with my own generation, that we live in what I call the upside down, in this parallel universe where lies have become truth and truth have become lies.
00:19:10.240 Just a few weeks ago, the United States Surgeon General, the top physician for our country, did, in fact, actually put out an official health warning, a declaration that parenting is hazardous for your health as a young adult because, get this, it makes you more lonely and isolated than if you never had children at all and instead were just alone.
00:19:34.940 And I find this incredibly concerning.
00:19:36.980 I was pre-med in college and have two degrees in biomedical sciences and yearned to be a physician.
00:19:43.620 I just got married at the end of June, and I'm thinking about this next stage of my life as well.
00:19:48.180 Why would you go into media like you are?
00:19:51.040 What is wrong with you?
00:19:52.040 You had an out.
00:19:54.100 The rest of us schlubs could do nothing else.
00:19:57.500 Yeah.
00:19:58.060 This is crazy.
00:19:58.900 But, you know, I'm in this phase of my life, and I'm watching all my friends go through this, and it is just alarming to me the strategic advantage that the media and the machine of the government are using to convince you that marriage and family, the most important bedrock foundation of our society, is somehow bad for you and going to destroy your life.
00:20:19.060 Well, I've put the label on my children's foreheads, just to remind people.
00:20:25.160 If you're thinking about having a kid, look at my forehead, Surgeon General warning.
00:20:30.420 I think they should all have it.
00:20:33.640 Also, the solution is, you know, if you're going to have kids, you know, because everybody is working, you know, two jobs, their solution is, well, you take some of the stress off, let us take care of them.
00:20:47.880 That's a horrid idea.
00:20:49.620 How about the idea of having a country where one income can actually support a family instead of maybe three or three and a half incomes supporting a family?
00:21:04.920 Doesn't it seem like a better goal?
00:21:08.620 One would hope, but unfortunately, it seems our elected officials in particular are asking all of the wrong questions about how to fix these ailments in society.
00:21:17.540 Their answer is always the same, more government, more regulation, more of the big of thumb on your day-to-day life.
00:21:25.540 And the sad reality is, I really do believe that the United States of America is not the country I grew up in.
00:21:31.680 It has the capacity to be, and that's what we're fighting for every day, to go from the upside down to right side up again.
00:21:38.300 But if we keep continuing in this trajectory, we are leading what I often call a race to the bottom for the developed world.
00:21:44.640 And I think it shows in our crime rates, in our fertility rate plummeting to an all-time low, in our marriage rates currently standing at an all-time low, the lowest they've ever been since 1867.
00:21:56.580 We're starting to have the conversation, finally, about nutrition and food and pharmaceuticals, and that's fantastic.
00:22:02.020 But what's really disheartening to me, I think, is that so many of the people older than us, older than our generation, haven't realized that these problems have been festering under the surface for decades because good people have sat down and been quiet and done nothing.
00:22:16.240 And I hope that it's not too late for us to tell the truth to the world that desperately needs to hear it.
00:22:21.160 So how do you think Gen Z is going to vote?
00:22:27.960 What is connecting with people under 30 that are going to vote?
00:22:35.200 I am incredibly optimistic about Gen Z, which I often get a lot of scorn for, particularly when I speak on cable television and mainstream media.
00:22:44.560 I actually came out with a book in March called The End of the Alphabet, How Gen Z Can Save America, making the case that we are America's next great generation.
00:22:56.380 And they've been studying these trends for the past several election cycles that are proving Gen Z is actually the most culturally and politically conservative generation we've seen since World War II.
00:23:08.300 There is a massive pendulum swing happening before our eyes, and I think we're first and foremost seeing that in this election with young men who are overwhelmingly politically conservative.
00:23:20.100 So when I'm seeing these conversations happening on college campuses and online where I spend most of my time with my peers, what I'm seeing people struggle with is this sense of we don't live in the same country that the people running for office claim we still do.
00:23:35.360 They've been in office longer than twice the time we've been alive, and they are wildly out of touch with the financial struggles we're dealing with, with the cultural tug of war we're dealing with.
00:23:45.240 What I think people are looking for under 30 right now more than anything is a sense of a new generation of leadership, new ideas, who is in touch with the cultural battles we're fighting today, and being willing to just tell the truth when everyone in positions of power seems unwilling to do that right now.
00:24:01.960 So that would go in favor of the people that Trump is surrounding himself with, I would imagine, RFK Jr., even though he's an older guy, Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk.
00:24:20.560 Is that translating at all in favor of Donald Trump?
00:24:24.740 It certainly is. It certainly is. And this idea of a unity party, I think, is a fascinating idea from a young person's perspective as well.
00:24:32.800 When you're seeing this Tulsi Gabbard, RFK, Elon Musk, Donald Trump coalition start to build, it's almost in a sense breaking the two-party system, which I think has been a fearful conversation for a lot of people in politics up to this point, because we don't know what happens after the two-party system.
00:24:50.460 But in reality, it creates a much better opportunity for coalition and conversation for better ideas to come to the surface, rather than the same four or five people constantly pulling the strings of power in both political parties.
00:25:04.480 If anything, it's really been an eye-opening experience since 2015, when we've had the curtain pulled back a bit in the era of Trumpian politics.
00:25:12.680 What we talk about in Washington as a uniparty is absolutely real, and all of the attack we're seeing on young people right now is coming really from a bipartisan perspective in many ways.
00:25:24.000 The fight to ban TikTok, the fight to censor you for misinformation, the fight to make you inject your arm with these crazy substances.
00:25:31.860 We don't know what's going to happen four or five years down the line.
00:25:34.660 This is coming from both political parties, and I think young people are speaking up to realize it's time for something new.
00:25:40.540 You know, it's really interesting.
00:25:42.580 They're conservative, but it's almost the same thing as the hippie movement back in the 60s, except this time it's conservative.
00:25:50.300 And it's like, look, we want to be natural.
00:25:53.320 We want to have freedom.
00:25:55.140 We'd like to have peace.
00:25:57.500 You know, we just want to get back to what's real.
00:26:00.520 And in some ways, you know, except for the drug part, that's kind of what the hippies were.
00:26:05.920 And don't believe anybody over 30 was, you know, what Nancy Pelosi was saying.
00:26:10.920 And now I guess it's, you know, you have to believe them until they're at 90 or maybe 100.
00:26:17.380 But it's interesting to me.
00:26:19.200 I think Generation Z is the revolution.
00:26:24.020 I mean, are you familiar with the fourth turning and the pendulum?
00:26:27.800 I sure am.
00:26:28.820 Yeah.
00:26:29.200 They are the hero generation.
00:26:31.600 They are.
00:26:32.980 They just haven't been given the opportunity to step up to the plate yet.
00:26:36.220 But I'm telling you, they're going to save us.
00:26:39.720 Absolutely correct.
00:26:40.720 And I love the hippie analogy because the truth is, Glenn, I don't know that the hippie movement really ever went away.
00:26:46.460 The culture we're living in today sure has changed a whole lot since we've thought about the rebelliousness of the 1970s and 1980s.
00:26:55.060 But truly, to be a punk rock, radical, countercultural individual today is to stick it to the man and say enough to the establishment.
00:27:03.680 Today, that just happens to look like getting married and starting your own business and saying no to a $250,000 degree in underwater lesbian basket weaving and going to church on Sunday and eating real food.
00:27:16.160 This is the type of revolution we're seeing with Generation Z.
00:27:20.100 And it's so inspiring to see take root and take place because it's the same origin that our country was itself founded upon.
00:27:28.200 This idea of speaking truth to power and fighting for liberty for the next generation.
00:27:32.980 You know, our founding fathers in 1776 were not 85 or 90 years old like we're seeing in Congress today.
00:27:40.060 They themselves were 18, 19, 21, 25 years old.
00:27:43.880 And so Vivek Ramaswamy often says that we are in the midst of a 1776 movement.
00:27:49.580 And I couldn't see anything more obvious than that in 2024.
00:27:53.940 It's great to talk to you.
00:27:55.020 Thank you so much.
00:27:56.040 I really appreciate and I mean everything I say.
00:27:58.640 I think you are a superstar.
00:28:00.480 Don't go to medicine.
00:28:01.520 We need your voice.
00:28:02.820 I think your voice is very important.
00:28:05.020 Isabel Brown, thank you so much.
00:28:06.440 Appreciate it.
00:28:07.440 Absolutely.
00:28:08.060 Thanks for having me.
00:28:08.800 God bless.
00:28:09.100 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:28:15.240 So I tweeted this earlier today.
00:28:17.640 My son sent me a picture of him and me and Donald Trump together.
00:28:27.940 This was taken a couple of weeks ago at one of the rallies.
00:28:30.380 And by the way, I'm going to be in, I want to say Phoenix area on Sunday with Donald Trump.
00:28:40.400 But I'm so he said that to me and I just he's like, dad, this is so cool.
00:28:45.320 Picture with me and you and Donald Trump.
00:28:47.260 It's pretty cool.
00:28:47.920 I mean, Rafe's looking good.
00:28:49.280 I feel like you could see him and Barron tearing up the town after this.
00:28:52.220 Yeah, yeah.
00:28:53.780 So all I could see was, well, my hair first.
00:29:00.300 My hair looks ridiculous.
00:29:01.940 And I'm standing next to Donald Trump.
00:29:05.300 I mean, that is that is not easy to do when Donald Trump's hair makes your hair look ridiculous.
00:29:13.580 Hmm.
00:29:14.300 You know, I mean, I was famous for having interesting eccentric hair a little bit.
00:29:20.160 Me?
00:29:20.720 No, him.
00:29:21.260 Yeah.
00:29:21.540 You're not you're not known for that.
00:29:24.280 No, you're just about to be known for just about to be known.
00:29:27.920 I mean, wow, that's bad.
00:29:30.620 And when you're standing next to Donald Trump and you notice your hair and then you look at his hair and you're like, wow, his hair looks good.
00:29:37.760 That's saying something.
00:29:39.320 OK, and then he looks like, you know, he's seen the sun one time this century.
00:29:44.260 I look like, I don't know, an anemic vampire that never has seen the sun.
00:29:51.340 And when I say anemic, maybe maybe it would be better to say, like, I don't know, a vampire that has never seen the sun and then also snacks between putting his fangs into somebody's neck.
00:30:07.460 You know, I mean, I'm a fat marshmallow man with ridiculous hair.
00:30:13.420 That's all I could see.
00:30:16.100 I just looking at that.
00:30:16.920 I mean, oh, my God.
00:30:18.080 Does this I mean, considering that your son is in the picture and the former president of the United States, the fact that you're only thinking about yourself.
00:30:26.080 What does that what does it say about you?
00:30:28.140 Oh, I'm a complete egomaniac.
00:30:31.840 I mean, I'm the least humble in the picture.
00:30:36.520 I know it's the Trump thing with the thumbs up.
00:30:39.860 What are you doing, though, in the picture?
00:30:42.000 Well, now in retrospect, that's bad.
00:30:44.400 I'm pointing to him, but it looks like I'm holding a gun to it.
00:30:48.880 It's really a bad.
00:30:50.540 I didn't think of it that way.
00:30:52.340 Considering the past history of the last few months, the fact that you're pointing, it's seemingly pointing a finger gun at the president.
00:30:58.920 Right.
00:30:59.540 What's happening?
00:31:00.520 I don't know.
00:31:01.820 It's his hair.
00:31:03.400 It's his hair.
00:31:04.300 I'm like, you have better hair than me.
00:31:06.160 You know what I didn't notice?
00:31:07.600 You know what I didn't notice until I saw this?
00:31:09.340 And somebody said, I mean, I tweeted this out today.
00:31:12.800 And these are some of the responses.
00:31:14.980 OK.
00:31:16.620 Yeah, Glenn, but you have great eyes.
00:31:19.520 That's what you say about somebody you're dating.
00:31:23.620 You know, somebody that a blind date.
00:31:25.440 And they're like, no, trust me.
00:31:27.300 You have such a sweet spirit and beautiful eyes.
00:31:31.100 Really?
00:31:32.080 No one says that about you.
00:31:33.440 No one says that.
00:31:33.680 Glenn, you have such a sweet spirit.
00:31:35.380 OK.
00:31:36.100 Another comment was, yeah, Glenn, because you're fat and he's not.
00:31:40.900 This one, alcoholism ages people rapidly.
00:31:49.740 That's true.
00:31:50.680 And Trump has never had a drink.
00:31:52.320 Yeah.
00:31:52.480 You can see the difference.
00:31:53.500 And then the other thing is.
00:31:55.060 Now, he's young.
00:31:55.700 How much younger is he than you?
00:31:58.720 Trump.
00:32:00.420 So the other thing, and I didn't notice this.
00:32:03.920 Somebody said, are you standing on an Apple box?
00:32:07.640 No.
00:32:08.420 No.
00:32:08.980 No, Glenn's actually tall.
00:32:10.040 I'm actually tall.
00:32:11.220 And I didn't realize.
00:32:12.420 That's the one thing I have going for me.
00:32:14.480 But I think it's just my hair because it's so ridiculous.
00:32:18.180 It looks like I'm taller than he is.
00:32:20.380 Yeah.
00:32:21.200 Basically the same height.
00:32:22.380 And Trump's known for, what is he, 6'2", 6'3"?
00:32:24.540 You're about 6'3".
00:32:25.420 Yeah.
00:32:25.920 Yeah.
00:32:26.580 So, I mean, just look at the size of my head compared to everybody else in it.
00:32:32.080 I mean, it's quite a piece of work, isn't it?
00:32:35.440 I mean, there's so many stories to be told.
00:32:37.720 Wow, the Lord spent no time on you, you know, in the looks department.
00:32:43.120 I mean, he gave me some other talents.
00:32:45.220 Really?
00:32:45.780 I haven't found them yet, but I'm sure they're there.
00:32:48.200 I'll find them.
00:32:48.860 Yeah.
00:32:49.140 I'll find them.
00:32:50.300 Yeah, maybe.
00:32:50.960 But, you know.
00:32:51.780 Yeah.
00:32:51.980 But that's, yeah, there's a lot of stories to be told from that one photo.
00:32:55.540 A picture is worth a thousand words, at least.
00:32:57.300 Yeah, I gotta stop, because I've taken several pictures with him, you know, pointing to him,
00:33:01.400 like, he's the guy.
00:33:02.620 Yeah.
00:33:03.040 But I...
00:33:03.760 You combined it.
00:33:04.680 You did the thumbs up and the point.
00:33:06.320 And the finger gun.
00:33:06.800 And that means it's a finger gun.
00:33:08.100 Right.
00:33:08.680 Yeah.
00:33:09.160 So the man who's almost been assassinated twice in the past...
00:33:11.880 Bad idea.
00:33:13.100 Bad idea.
00:33:13.620 I'll have to...
00:33:15.000 I'll have to give you that one.
00:33:17.220 Yeah.
00:33:18.400 That's incredible.
00:33:18.800 He probably looked at that and went, what the hell is he doing?
00:33:21.200 What's he doing?
00:33:22.580 He's threatening me with a finger.
00:33:23.380 And he...
00:33:23.700 Actually, I don't think that's what...
00:33:25.000 I think he looked at that and said, what the heck am I doing?
00:33:27.140 Yeah.
00:33:27.320 Why am I in a photo with this guy?
00:33:29.340 Why am I doing this?
00:33:30.620 Why am I doing this?
00:33:31.100 Whatever I'm doing, it's not worth it.
00:33:33.420 I mean, the country doesn't...
00:33:34.420 It's not that important.
00:33:35.640 I have to stand with this guy over and over again.
00:33:38.600 Come on.
00:33:39.160 I will say, too, and this is you after losing a lot of weight.
00:33:45.940 Okay.
00:33:46.400 You don't need to rub it in.
00:33:47.620 No, I'm trying to praise you.
00:33:49.320 You're doing really well with that.
00:33:50.660 How much have you lost now?
00:33:51.900 A lot.
00:33:52.480 Yeah.
00:33:52.640 About 40 pounds.
00:33:53.660 40 pounds.
00:33:54.580 Yeah.
00:33:54.900 40 pounds.
00:33:55.500 So in theory, that could have been a lot worse.
00:33:58.440 It's like the hurricane.
00:34:00.060 It's like, ah, we only lost a bunch of houses and some trees and a bunch of tornadoes took out
00:34:04.860 a bunch of stuff.
00:34:05.240 It could have been worse.
00:34:06.200 You're saying this is a Milton picture.
00:34:08.540 This is like Hurricane Milton in the photo.
00:34:15.700 Could have been worse.
00:34:16.540 It could have been worse.
00:34:17.080 It could have been worse.
00:34:18.000 You're right.
00:34:18.420 That's the way to look at it.
00:34:19.080 Well, it's Katrina.
00:34:20.180 Katrina's if you took the picture six months ago.
00:34:22.120 Yeah.
00:34:29.180 So that's a great picture, though, Glenn.
00:34:30.780 Yeah, thank you.
00:34:31.360 Thank you very much.
00:34:32.220 And I'm really glad you posted it.
00:34:33.720 Yeah.
00:34:34.000 Well, I mean, I can't be the only one thinking it.
00:34:39.140 You know what I mean?
00:34:39.640 Yeah.
00:34:40.120 You know, the makeup comes in, you know, all the time.
00:34:42.900 And they're making us, you know, fixing the hair and stuff.
00:34:46.100 And I'm like, it doesn't get any better.
00:34:48.200 No, I know.
00:34:48.740 It's tough.
00:34:48.980 There's nothing you can do to make this better.
00:34:51.200 And no one's watching for my good looks.
00:34:54.520 Okay.
00:34:54.760 That's clear.
00:34:55.840 Oh, yeah.
00:34:56.140 America has lowered her standards to the ground.
00:35:00.860 Seriously.
00:35:01.280 They used to put, like, really good looking people on TV.
00:35:03.920 They don't.
00:35:04.300 And now they put us on.
00:35:05.640 I know.
00:35:06.180 This is a terrible idea.
00:35:07.140 Well, but not really.
00:35:09.260 We had to build our own company.
00:35:11.580 It's fair.
00:35:13.760 Everybody else in the business was like, we got to get rid of that.
00:35:16.560 Yeah.
00:35:16.940 It's fair.
00:35:17.680 It's a fair point.
00:35:18.520 So we got that going for us.
00:35:21.300 Okay.
00:35:23.100 I did a podcast yesterday.
00:35:24.840 It comes out.
00:35:25.580 It's out for the Blaze viewers.
00:35:29.760 And it's with Kirk Cameron.
00:35:32.520 And, man, I learned so much about him.
00:35:35.220 He is the most genuinely positive, happy guy I think I know.
00:35:42.900 He's really consistent.
00:35:44.340 You never see him, like, angry or something.
00:35:47.440 Or like, you know what?
00:35:48.480 We're all going to die.
00:35:49.300 Right.
00:35:50.100 It's always optimistic.
00:35:51.360 Always optimistic.
00:35:52.480 And it's genuine.
00:35:53.280 And, you know, we got to the end of the interview.
00:35:56.040 And it's a very, I don't know, very real moment, I guess.
00:35:59.920 He was, you know, spewing something.
00:36:02.640 And, you know, all happy talk, I'm sure.
00:36:04.560 And I found myself.
00:36:06.340 I didn't hear a word he said.
00:36:07.720 And then he stopped talking.
00:36:10.020 And I said, I got to be honest with you.
00:36:13.260 I didn't.
00:36:13.940 I wasn't even listening to you.
00:36:15.080 I don't have any idea.
00:36:15.940 What?
00:36:16.800 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:36:17.580 But I, because, because, because, I said, I'm just looking at you and listening to your
00:36:25.320 happy attitude.
00:36:26.120 And I'm looking, you know, I don't mean to be, you know, I'm not coming on to you, but
00:36:29.760 I'm looking in your eyes and you mean all of this stuff.
00:36:32.680 You're genuinely very positive and happy.
00:36:35.880 And I'm thinking to myself, that's what I want to be.
00:36:40.740 I want to be him.
00:36:41.840 I want to be like him.
00:36:43.660 Yeah.
00:36:44.320 I, we do.
00:36:45.160 I mean, you kind of connected with that a little bit in that Boris Johnson clip you played earlier.
00:36:49.040 Yeah.
00:36:49.400 Where, like, they're like, what do you think democracy is dead?
00:36:51.520 And he was like, no, I'm actually really optimistic.
00:36:54.120 And he gave it a long, and, like, while you could certainly doubt that, there's reasons
00:36:58.060 to doubt it right now.
00:36:59.940 Like, I kind of like that.
00:37:01.180 I still connect with that.
00:37:02.420 I still, I want that to be the world.
00:37:04.940 Well, I'm not saying it is.
00:37:06.860 I'm just saying that's what I want it to be.
00:37:08.320 That's what you want it to be.
00:37:08.880 And I actually, you know, let's take a quick break, and then we'll come back.
00:37:13.500 And I want to play a couple of things that are in this podcast, because I think he's right.
00:37:20.740 I think he's right.
00:37:21.840 There's, we're on the precipice of something really good, probably also on the precipice of
00:37:28.300 something really, really bad, but that will turn out to be really, really good.
00:37:33.540 There you go.
00:37:34.420 That's the optimism we're talking about.
00:37:36.060 The optimism.
00:37:36.340 I've got to have a little doom in there, just a little bit.
00:37:39.100 It's a strange and winding path to get there.
00:37:41.780 Okay.
00:37:41.880 Na na na na
