00:00:00.000 All right, so it's a Monday podcast. We had RFK Jr. on today. He was fabulous. We talked a lot about
00:00:07.620 the trouble that he has brought on himself, and it's not political trouble. It's actual physical
00:00:15.060 trouble. It's a very brave thing that he did over the weekend. Will it change minds?
00:00:20.420 Well, you'll get our opinions on today's podcast, along with a whole buttload of other things.
00:00:25.640 Let me just take a few seconds and talk to you a little bit about pre-born. We're living in a time 0.56
00:00:32.000 and culture where unborn puppies, unborn puppies are afforded more love and respect than unborn
00:00:38.860 human babies. You could do an abortion on television of a kid and an abortion of a dog with a puppy,
00:00:49.200 and you would get more complaints and more outrage on the puppy. That is a problem.
00:00:57.060 Pre-born, the largest pro-life organization in the country, they're leading the charge now to put an
00:01:02.420 end to the atrocity of abortion, and they need your help. $28 would pay for a free ultrasound for a mom. 1.00
00:01:10.260 You can give any tax-deductible donation, but I really would love for you to consider joining me
00:01:16.340 on this. This is, they're the biggest and the best, I think. They're making a huge difference.
00:01:22.400 You could rescue one baby for $28. I think it's about $500 to rescue 200 babies. It's really,
00:01:33.200 it's not that bad, and you could save lives. Pound 250, say the keyword baby. Make a donation of any
00:01:39.800 amount. Pound 250, keyword baby. It's preborn.com slash beck. That's preborn.com slash beck.
00:01:57.260 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:01.320 Hello, America. It's Monday. This too shall pass. Tomorrow it'll be Tuesday. And this is the Glenn Beck
00:02:07.420 program. Well, you're talking about RFK Jr. and how, you know, there's no risk for him going to
00:02:14.160 the Republicans at this point because he's been left by the Democrats. I mean, Kamala Harris didn't
00:02:19.680 even return his phone calls, right? But when you said that, I immediately thought his political risk,
00:02:25.880 which I think is true. I think that's correct. I don't think there's political risk to this move.
00:02:29.400 I think it's upside for him. However, when it comes to the fact, and we kind of just brushed over this,
00:02:34.020 I think it's important to highlight, there's no justification to remove Secret Service
00:02:37.980 protection from RFK Jr. right now. First of all, he's still a candidate in a bunch of states. He's
00:02:44.040 keeping himself on the ballot in, honestly, most of the states that he's going to be in. So he's still
00:02:49.660 a candidate. He talked about some outlying possibility of how he could still become president
00:02:54.580 in his speech. He said that. And he's still going to be on the ballot in Michigan because he can't pull
00:02:59.300 himself off of it. Probably Wisconsin as well. But beyond all that, obviously, the risk to RFK Jr.,
00:03:07.240 after what we saw in Pennsylvania, after what we've seen through the Kennedy family through all 0.63
00:03:11.880 these years, is legitimate and undoubtedly increased after what he's done here. So when it comes to risk
00:03:19.700 to his life, there is risk there. And the fact that they pull his Secret Service protection
00:03:24.180 immediately is, there's no justification for it unless you want the man to have something terrible
00:03:29.360 to happen to him, which, of course, is actually the answer, probably.
00:03:32.940 It's really bad. We welcome Pat Gray in from Pat Gray Unleashed. Hello, Pat.
00:03:37.400 Hello. Happy to be here.
00:03:40.120 Happy to be here.
00:03:40.780 Thank you. Thank you.
00:03:41.560 Did you happen to... Did you see the New Republic where they've come out and said that Kamala Harris
00:03:50.680 is a historic figure that surpasses John F. Kennedy and Obama?
00:03:58.440 And Barack Obama. Yeah.
00:04:00.320 Yeah. It's really quite something. I'm expecting the Nobel Peace Prize nomination at any moment.
00:04:09.660 At any moment. It's been the most amazing transformation of the perception of somebody
00:04:15.500 in world history. I mean, this woman had, was it 28% approval? Maybe?
00:04:23.400 28, yeah.
00:04:24.100 I think it was 28% approval. And now she's better than the second coming of Barack Obama.
00:04:31.420 I know.
00:04:31.820 She's the first coming of, I don't know, the angel of light. It's incredible.
00:04:37.680 I don't know. I don't know how this happened.
00:04:41.160 Listen to this. This is the New Republic. The division in our country was overcome during
00:04:47.860 her electric speech on Thursday night, largely due to her leadership. So that healed the wounds
00:04:55.780 and the division. She said, or he said, the writer, for my entire adult life, there have
00:05:01.580 been two Democratic parties. That's true. And listen to this statement. Now there is one.
00:05:09.020 Oh, jeez.
00:05:09.980 Mm-hmm.
00:05:10.900 Wow.
00:05:11.260 That's why Robert F. Kennedy left. There is one. And it is not the one that you remember.
00:05:20.200 Not the one that, you know, our grandparents voted for with Roosevelt. Certainly not the
00:05:26.220 John F. Kennedy. I don't think John F. Kennedy would even be welcome in the Democratic Party
00:05:30.300 today.
00:05:30.660 No way would he. It's now a party that rhymes with momunist.
00:05:37.020 Or Kamala-mist. 0.59
00:05:41.680 JFK would not recognize this. They continually attach that to Republicans.
00:05:46.700 Oh, Ronald Reagan wouldn't even recognize Republicans.
00:05:49.160 Are you kidding me? This party is so Marxist in the Democrats now that the Communist Party
00:05:56.880 of America doesn't ever have to come up with a candidate because the Democrats are always
00:06:01.340 perfectly acceptable to them. That's how bad it is.
00:06:05.280 They endorse. They've been endorsing the last few candidates, the Communist Party of America.
00:06:10.980 Mm-hmm. And they did it with Joe Biden. They did it with Barack Obama. They'll probably
00:06:16.160 do it with Kamala. Oh, I'm sure they will. Yeah. I'm sure they will. Between her and Tim
00:06:21.500 Walls? Yeah. It is the socialist ticket. That's what it is. By the way, it's also the biggest
00:06:28.720 liar ticket I've ever seen. Oh, my gosh. Did you see the latest on Tim Walls? Apparently,
00:06:35.300 on his, you know, on his bio, he years ago put that he was the outstanding young Nebraskan
00:06:45.540 and he was named that by the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce. The problem is the Chamber of
00:06:53.780 Commerce, the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce did all their research. They're like, you know,
00:06:59.600 we've looked, you've never received an award from us. I mean, it's incredible. And they came
00:07:07.440 out and said, it was a typo. Yeah. Yeah. It was a typo? A whole sentence? I have many times
00:07:15.220 in the middle of just paragraphs I'm writing, just wrote that I won an award in Nebraska.
00:07:19.680 Like, I just do that all the time. I think almost all of us have at one point or another.
00:07:23.360 How did that get in that email? I don't even know. I will say, did they start the search
00:07:28.760 for VP saying, can we find someone worse than George Santos? Was that their number one
00:07:35.740 goal? Had to be. Because it's incredible. Every day there's another story about how this guy made
00:07:42.300 up another lie about his life. I mean, I guess considering the president is Biden, who also
00:07:48.760 does quite a bit of this thing, maybe it fits. But I can't believe how many things and how many
00:07:54.720 dumb things there are. Like, who cares if you won an award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce?
00:08:00.840 Try this one. Her bio now says her hometown is Oakland. Oh, yeah. It wasn't. It was Berkeley.
00:08:09.360 Berkeley. You know, and the residents of Berkeley are like, we get it. I mean, we're really known
00:08:16.020 as the communist town. So we see why she would run away and say that it's Berkeley. She never
00:08:23.660 mentioned Berkeley in her speech. It's not on her bio, but that's where she is. She's not a quote,
00:08:29.780 daughter of Oakland. Yeah, that's what she calls herself. She's at Berkeley. Yeah. And it was amazing
00:08:35.000 the way the story was written. I think it was the New York Times maybe that wrote that one. And it's
00:08:39.460 like, it's not, do you believe this terrible lie by this candidate running from their past? It's not
00:08:45.180 that at all. It's like, isn't this adorable? Like, you know, they're super liberal. They know it's okay
00:08:51.720 because they're fine with it and everybody's fine with it. I mean, she needs to win. So if she needs
00:08:56.520 to say Oakland to win, oh, well, what can you do? Like, what? It's crazy. You know, and they are just
00:09:05.460 accepting it. I mean, Bill Maher came out and he was really upset and he said, I think her not talking
00:09:12.980 to the press is worse. Try this out for a side. Worse than Donald Trump saying the press is an enemy of
00:09:20.760 the people. He's like, they're, they don't, they just don't care. They, they won't answer any
00:09:26.260 questions at all. He's like, this is really bad. And yeah. I mean, yeah. Think of it. Did you see
00:09:33.820 Tom Cotton this weekend? He was on talking about this and one of the, the, the anchor, I think it
00:09:43.540 was for CBS, uh, John Carl, it was ABC. Oh, it was ABC. Yep. And it said, uh, that's not our,
00:09:50.660 uh, uh, that's not her policy. That's just not her policy. And Tom Cotton said, yes, it is.
00:09:57.300 And Carl came out and said, no, no, there was a statement that that's not what she believes in
00:10:02.680 anymore. It came from a, an unnamed unknown source in the middle of the night. By the way,
00:10:09.960 she's not for that anymore. Uh, pass it on. Yeah. And, and he, and, and Cotton correctly
00:10:16.300 called it out and said, cause, cause I think Carl said, you know, she says she's not for
00:10:21.020 that. And Carl correctly said, no, she doesn't. She has not said that. Where are you getting
00:10:25.880 that from? She has not said that because it's true. It's all been just little leaks from like
00:10:29.720 interns that are unnamed. Hey, we, you know, she now has reversed herself on this. And it's
00:10:34.500 fascinating to watch how this stuff is treated. In 2019, she came out with a million, uh, far
00:10:40.540 left policies that she's now reversed via statement to various news organizations, including the ban 0.68
00:10:47.240 on fracking. Yeah. Yeah. Ban on fracking. Not from her. Not from her. Not from her. Statements
00:10:52.440 to the media. And, and the media has dutifully accepted all of those and gone on without asking
00:10:58.520 with JD Vance, with Tom Cotton, with Donald Trump and attacked them for lying about her
00:11:05.620 current position. Like they've taken the point of defense of these unnamed statements. On the other
00:11:12.580 side of things, project 2025 is launched by the heritage foundation. Donald Trump has nothing to do
00:11:20.900 with it. In fact, publicly denounces it over and over and over again, to the extent they shut the entire
00:11:27.440 program down and fire the guy who's at the head of it. Yep. Yep. Right. And after all of that,
00:11:33.780 they're still holding him responsible for project 2025. Right. It's crazy. He could not be more
00:11:40.380 anti-project 2025. I actually feel bad for the heritage foundation. I do too, because there's
00:11:45.620 nothing radically in it. Right. The good faith effort to drop some policies, whether you like them or not,
00:11:51.520 but like, how can he be held responsible for this? You know what he hasn't done? He hasn't sworn
00:11:57.120 a blood oath. He hasn't cut his wrist, stick his finger into his veins and then written it out in
00:12:03.700 blood. I don't know. He did take a bullet on stage. He's pretty close to a blood oath. I know. I know.
00:12:10.000 Isn't that crazy? They are just, it is amazing what they're trying to get away with. And by the way,
00:12:16.440 the House, members of the House now, the Democratic side are all saying, no, Kamala was just throwing
00:12:23.320 things out there when she was talking about, you know, price fixing. That's not, that's not,
00:12:30.400 I mean. Yeah. They're behind the scenes saying that, saying that, like, don't worry about it.
00:12:34.300 None of this stuff will get passed. She's just saying that. It's like, okay. I think that's
00:12:39.340 plausible. Like, it would be very difficult to get that passed, I think, depending on what the
00:12:43.220 makeup of Congress was. And I think it would probably, you know, there's at least a possibility
00:12:46.960 that the Supreme Court would overturn it even if they did get it passed. But like, why isn't she
00:12:51.120 held responsible for these things? It's, it's incredible. Their goal with 100% certainty is
00:12:56.680 to get her in under any circumstance. They, the media will do anything they can to get
00:13:01.220 them in. But what's amazing to me, if you believe in that statement, then why isn't she
00:13:07.960 coming out herself and saying these reversals? It's like she won't come out on stage and say
00:13:14.600 them. I mean, you shouldn't believe them anyway because of what Stu just said. They will do
00:13:19.700 anything to make sure she's elected. Um, and they'll erase all of her past. Um, and, but 1.00
00:13:27.780 she's not coming out. It's, it's almost as if she's, she's sitting there going, I'm not
00:13:33.420 saying that. I'm absolutely for that. I'm not saying that. It's the right, Paul. It's
00:13:37.420 the right strategy for them. It's, it's, it's very reminiscent of Biden just running his
00:13:42.700 campaign from his basement in 2020. I'd argue more extreme. I think it's more extreme
00:13:47.660 than that. I mean, Biden, people are like, Oh, he's just staying in the basement. And
00:13:50.880 that's true. But he did do interviews. I mean, you remember him saying, Hey, you ain't black
00:13:56.060 if you don't vote for me. Like those things happen from the basement because he was doing
00:14:00.120 interviews from the basement. At least he was doing something in the basement. She's
00:14:03.580 not even doing that. Yeah. Let me tell you about my Patriot supply. What does it mean
00:14:10.240 being prepared? What does it mean? There are different kinds of ways you can prepare for
00:14:14.540 some. It means, you know, making sure that you have, you know, uh, energy off the grid,
00:14:19.340 a hundred percent off the grid. Uh, for others, it means weapons and ammo for others. It means
00:14:24.940 spiritual preparation. Uh, but all of these people have one thing in common food. You have
00:14:31.980 to be nourished. If there is a breakdown in society. Um, and I, I, I am with the attorney
00:14:40.320 general. I don't want bad things to happen. I will stand up for good things to happen.
00:14:46.660 Um, but I have no idea what's going to happen next. Uh, it is, it, I mean, it's like going
00:14:54.000 to Vegas every day. Listen, my Patriot supply can help you with that food and it, uh, they
00:15:01.140 have a mega three month emergency food kit, uh, that will give you and your family everything
00:15:06.780 that you need. Get one for each person. You're going to save $300 right now. And it comes jam

00:15:19.120 keep you strong. All you have to do is go to my Patriot supply.com. That's my Patriot supply.com
00:15:25.540 get a $300 on your mega three month emergency food kit ships, fast, free, and in unmarked boxes.
00:15:33.540 Go there now. My Patriot supply.com. Now back to the podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck
00:15:40.800 program. Robert F. Kennedy jr. joins the program. Uh, now from, from someplace. Where are you
00:15:51.320 Robert? I'm in, I'm up north of Portland, Maine. I'm actually driving up to see Tucker. Um,
00:16:02.080 Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It's a way out there. So, um, uh, Robert, I, um, I don't know
00:16:11.340 if you saw my ex response to you this weekend. I doubt you did, but I, uh, I was so happy to
00:16:20.140 see that. And I was so happy about, you know, the sympathies and the vision that you had of
00:16:26.160 people coming together in our country and having to understand that people who disagree with you on
00:16:32.260 issues are not your enemies. They can still be your brothers and sisters. And that we need to come
00:16:39.020 together. I wanted to ask you, um, because I, as I said in that, you know, you don't risk your life
00:16:45.660 for things you don't believe in. Uh, and you've had secret service pulled from you now by this
00:16:51.560 administration, which I think is reprehensible. Um, uh, how uncomfortable are you with that
00:16:59.000 decision? I'm, uh, you know, I, I'm okay. I'm do it. Listen, I'm going to do what I'm going to do.
00:17:08.520 Um, my life is in God's hands. I'm going to, so I, and I'm okay with, you know, I, I'm going to do
00:17:15.760 what I'm going to do, whether I have that or not. Um, uh, you know, I think it's a, the fact that
00:17:25.440 they, that they, uh, would not give me secret service protection for so long. Yeah. It's troubling
00:17:33.900 for our country because it's part of the weaponization of the agencies, the politicization
00:17:38.460 of the agencies. When my father, um, became attorney general in 1961, early 1961, his first
00:17:48.200 week in office, he called all of the division chiefs, the branch chiefs, the department of
00:17:52.820 justice together. And he said, the one thing that we're never going to do is ask if somebody,
00:17:58.040 if a defendant, potential defendant is Republican or Democrat, the country needs to know that,
00:18:03.740 that justice is blind, that our institutions are not partisan. And that's what makes America
00:18:10.000 really great is that government is, you know, these institutions are supposed to be purged
00:18:16.320 of political. Right. Right. And that's the only way they're not.
00:18:22.420 Um, the reason why I ask you about the secret service is, uh, you didn't just leave the party
00:18:28.220 and run against, uh, uh, Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. Now you've taken the real extremist position,
00:18:36.680 uh, to, uh, endorse Donald Trump. What pushed you into that move? What, why, why, what scares
00:18:48.440 you about the Kamala Harris victory that would move you to endorse Donald Trump? Yeah. I mean,
00:18:54.840 our polling from the beginning was saying that we were hurting Donald Trump much more than we hurt
00:19:00.680 the Democrats. So our polling consistently showed that about 57% to 60% of our voters would vote for
00:19:08.880 Trump if I left. And so it was odd that president Trump and the Republican party never really attacked
00:19:15.660 me. And, you know, it was not trying to keep me off of ballots. They weren't deploying, you know,
00:19:22.760 private investigators to dig up every piece of dirt about publicizing, which is what the Democrats
00:19:30.840 had this, this, uh, you know, this entire, uh, organization that was, that was designed to
00:19:39.080 destroy me, to characterize, to keep me off the ballot. And, but I actually, it was ironic because I
00:19:46.800 actually hurt the Trump organization, I hurt the Republican party much more when I, when it became
00:19:53.280 clear to me that I was not going to be allowed on the debating stage and the mainstream media had
00:20:01.800 successfully stonewalled me. So, you know, I gave two live interviews on the major networks in 16 months.
00:20:10.080 Ross Perot had 34 interviews in 10 months. I only had two live interviews on ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC,
00:20:20.800 and CNN. And so I was being stonewalled there. I was not going to be allowed on the debating stage.
00:20:29.040 And that really was my path to victory. I could not talk to most Americans. So it became clear to me
00:20:34.720 that we did not have a clear path to the White House and that if I stayed in the race, that the
00:20:42.560 likelihood was that my presence in the race would get the, the, uh, Vice President Harris elected, uh,
00:20:50.880 Vice President Harris for me is a, and if you look at her speech during the Democratic convention,
00:20:58.320 you know, it was a deep state speech. She had, she was preceded weirdly by CIA officials who were speaking
00:21:06.400 at the Democratic election and military officials. And it was a neocon speech.
00:21:13.120 That was about more wars and more wars and more wars. And that is the only policy she's really defined
00:21:19.680 herself as. And I think we're so close to World War three right now. We're so close to nuclear change with the
00:21:26.720 Russians. And then the Trump administration, the Trump, President Trump reached out to me
00:21:33.760 immediately after his shooting. And we began talking. We had a series of meetings by telephone
00:21:41.760 and in person in Minneapolis and in, uh, Mar-o-Lago and talked about the things that surprised me that
00:21:50.880 we had in common, that he wants to end the Ukraine war immediately. He wants to protect children's
00:21:56.480 health. He wants to end the censorship. And those are the three principal reasons that I got in the
00:22:03.200 race. And he asked me, you know, not only to join this election, but to help him in his administration
00:22:12.080 to make sure they're able to accomplish some of those goals that, and just do a unity party where I
00:22:18.080 would be, we would be able to criticize each other on the issues on which we disagree,
00:22:26.560 but continue to work for a greater good on the issues that really unite Americans and that are
00:22:32.240 good for our country.
00:22:32.800 That's the way it should be. That's the way it should be. So I talked to, uh, uh, Don Jr. And he told me,
00:22:38.640 uh, that he wanted you to pick a three-letter agency that you could blow up, that you could blow up.
00:22:45.920 Those were his words. Um, which three-letter agency would you be most inclined to say,
00:22:53.520 President Trump, please, I'd like this, this agency.
00:22:57.760 Yeah, I mean, you know, we, we haven't really discussed that. And, you know, there's a number
00:23:05.840 of agencies. I mean, I've talked about reforming many of the agencies from the CIA to HHS, et cetera,
00:23:14.080 but we're, um, you know, we're focused on the kind of a, the larger theme of the administration,
00:23:21.920 which is public health, restoring America's health, make America healthy again.
00:23:27.200 And we've got to, that our country will be unified when we learn to love our children
00:23:34.160 more than we hate each other. And we're letting our children down now. As you know, Glenn,
00:23:39.440 60% of them now have chronic disease. 77% of American kids cannot get in the military
00:23:46.320 because of health reasons. And, you know, this is our national security emergency.
00:23:52.640 There's a moral crisis for our nation. And we are, you know, I, uh, I think your time has come
00:24:01.520 on a lot of this. Uh, I think Americans, uh, are looking at the processed food and, uh, a lot of stuff
00:24:11.840 that the pharmaceutical companies are doing. And, you know, the, the right never looked at that stuff
00:24:17.920 off big farm. It's a fine. Um, that's changed dramatically since COVID. Uh, and I think people,
00:24:25.920 I mean, I see this happening with conservatives where they're becoming the, uh, they're becoming
00:24:34.000 the, you know, the people that used to be on the, the, uh, Democrat side, you know, little granola.
00:24:39.840 And, you know, look, I want to get away from, you know, processed foods.
00:24:45.920 Yeah. You know, it's really funny. The time that I really noticed this change is when
00:24:54.000 Tucker Carlson did a whole show on endocrine disruptors. Endocrine disruptors are a class
00:25:01.040 of chemicals that interfere with fertility and sexual development. And they're like PCBs and
00:25:07.120 atrazine DFOAs, which are flame retardants, which are now ubiquitous in the environment.
00:25:14.240 He did it all show on it for, for 30 years. I've been trying to get Republicans to pay attention
00:25:19.440 to this. I've been suing those companies and, and only the Democrats would talk about it.
00:25:25.120 And when Tucker Carlson did that, the Democrats rained holy hell down on him and said, Oh, he's,
00:25:31.360 oh, he's blaming, uh, chemicals for turning people gay, which of course he wasn't doing,
00:25:38.640 but they completely ignored the issue and they, they turned it into a tribal issue. And,
00:25:45.760 you know, and so now the Democrats are on the other side of that. They're applauding the chemicals in our
00:25:51.440 food. They're applauding, uh, uh, the, uh, the dominance of pharmaceutical and food,
00:25:58.160 big food processing companies of, uh, of the agencies that are supposed to regulate them.
00:26:03.600 Right. And such a turnaround at, you know, the Republicans are now the party of the clean 0.86
00:26:10.320 environment that the anti-toxic prop talks about party. And then the party of that is protecting
00:26:17.120 children's health rather than corporate profit taking in the mercantile interest of these companies
00:26:22.480 that are poisoning the entire nation. You know, I, I, um, I'm wondering if you moving over to
00:26:34.160 endorse Donald Trump is going to, uh, make, make regular Democrats, not the crazy Democrats,
00:26:42.800 uh, and the ones, many of them in the administration, but the, the average Democrat
00:26:49.280 that loves their country and, you know, wants to get along, et cetera, et cetera. I wonder if this
00:26:55.520 is going to be the beginning of a, of a movement and a recognition, uh, a recognizing of how corrupt
00:27:04.960 and, uh, how anti-democratic they are. I mean, what they're doing to Jill Stein and Cornell West
00:27:10.840 has nothing to do with the word democracy. The people claiming to save democracy are doing
00:27:17.480 everything they can to be, you know, almost Putin in the election.
00:27:24.600 Yeah. I mean, the, you know, the democratic party demos in Greek means people. And so it means the
00:27:31.240 party that trusts the people and the democratic party no longer trust the American people.
00:27:37.400 And that's why they, you know, they're, they're big worries about misinformation and disinformation.
00:27:42.760 Well, you know, that that's not the government's job. It's the government's job is to trust the people
00:27:50.920 and give them all the information they need, but not start censoring information. And they,
00:27:55.800 the idea that they now have to censor information is an indicator that they do not trust the people.
00:28:03.640 And they don't trust their own candidate. They're not letting her talk. Everything is about this
00:28:09.720 ironclad control. They didn't trust the people to vote for their candidates. So they had to get me off
00:28:15.560 the ballot using the judicial system and, you know, and, and Donald Trump off the ballot using the
00:28:22.040 judicial system. And they're, it's all about a, you know, ironclad control of the outcomes and no longer
00:28:32.360 having any trust in the people of our country. And it's, uh, you know, there are, there have been
00:28:38.680 a series of political alignments, realignments throughout American history, about four or five
00:28:44.920 big realignments. And one of those is happening right now. It's, uh, it's really interesting to
00:28:51.640 be living through it and, and we have kind of a front row seat in it. Yeah. Um, I know this would
00:28:59.240 only be your opinion. It's a little unfair for me to ask, but I, uh, I've, I've often thought that
00:29:05.800 your uncle would not be welcome in this party today. Uh, that he, his views would be, I think,
00:29:14.840 right ruling extremist, uh, to this party today. Do you think your brother and your, or yeah,
00:29:21.000 sorry, your father and your uncle would be welcome in the democratic party today?
00:29:27.400 I don't think so. I mean, both of them, I, you know, they're kind of central for us
00:29:33.400 of their, um, uh, of their policy entrance was, was keeping the country out of war. My
00:29:40.840 uncle was asked by one of his best friends, Ben Bradley, who ran the Washington post.
00:29:46.440 What do you want on your gravestone? What do you want as your appetite?
00:29:51.000 And he said, he, he, my uncle immediately said he kept the peace. He said the primary job of the
00:29:58.440 president of the United States was to keep the country out of war. And he never sent a combat
00:30:03.720 troop abroad during his thousand days in office. My father ran against the Vietnam war
00:30:12.360 and was killed during that election. So those are issues that, you know, both of them died for.
00:30:19.560 And, uh, democratic party has now become the neocon party. It's become the party of war,
00:30:25.000 the party. And we're spending twice in, in, in real dollars. We're spending twice on our military.
00:30:31.720 Well, we were at the height of the cold war and that money is not being spent for national defense.
00:30:37.080 It's being spent for national, for international domination. And it's not a good policy. It's not
00:30:43.400 working. Well, Robert, I appreciate you pulling off to the side of the road and I know you've,
00:30:48.360 you've got to get back on the road. So thank you for talking to us and, and, uh, thank you for your
00:30:52.920 courage. Um, yeah, I, I think your speech on Friday, which CNN broke away from almost immediately,
00:30:59.240 uh, I thought it was very powerful, very powerful. Thank you.
00:31:03.080 Thank you very much, Glenn.
00:31:05.560 Good to talk to you.
00:31:07.960 The best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:31:13.800 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Uh, this is a trivia question that only the deepest of fans
00:31:21.640 and maybe one or two people on my staff could ever answer who is the program director for the
00:31:28.600 Glenn Beck program. If you ever in, in, you know, some sort of, you know, trivial pursuit with us,
00:31:35.880 uh, the answer would be Dom Theodore and Dom is on the phone with us right now. He's also a Michigan
00:31:42.360 resident and he has been, and his County have been fighting this giant EV battery plant, uh,
00:31:51.080 with a, uh, with a, a company that has ties to the CCP. In fact, it, I think it's not, that's not even
00:31:58.760 fair to say it has ties. It is the CCP. Is it not? It's subsidized by the CCP and, and they just
00:32:06.760 declared that in a Thera filing just a few weeks ago. Officially. So they finally admitted it after
00:32:14.600 lying all this time. All right. So we've talked about this before in the past. Uh, and the reason
00:32:21.720 why I'm talking to you today is you've got a couple of things that are good news, but also JD Vance is
00:32:26.280 doing a rally at the farm where you guys first had the rally, right? To say, save this farm from China. 0.98
00:32:36.760 The farm is right across the street from the proposed site. And, uh, this has been sort of
00:32:42.600 ground zero in the battle. It's the majestic Farisians horse farm. And, uh, we do indeed have
00:32:48.680 Senator Vance, uh, coming in tomorrow, uh, at, at a big rally there, and we want to invite everyone
00:32:54.680 to attend. And, you know, Glenn, how this got started, it was really Goshen being caught in another lie
00:33:02.200 that drove this because just a few weeks ago, President Trump was speaking in Grand Rapids
00:33:08.840 and made some remarks about returning jobs to America and, um, bringing jobs back from China.
00:33:17.720 Goshen, in their arrogance, puts out a press release claiming that somehow President Trump
00:33:24.440 supported Goshen. Well, this is where President Trump's mean tweets come in handy because just a
00:33:31.480 couple of weeks later, um, on, uh, Truth Social, uh, this past week, he, of course, uh, addressed
00:33:37.320 that and said, no, I don't support this. This is bad for Michigan. It's going to put our little
00:33:42.280 community here in Michigan under the thumb of the CCP in Beijing. And, uh, so, you know,
00:33:48.440 thankfully, President Trump came and cleared that up really quick. Uh, and then on top of it,
00:33:54.120 that helped us secure this rally tomorrow with J.D. Vance. So we're excited, uh, to have him here.
00:34:01.480 And we want to make sure that, um, you know, that the place is packed. We really want to show
00:34:07.080 Goshen that, you know, how much Michigan doesn't want them here. And so, um, this is at the Majestic
00:34:13.400 for Regions Horse Farm. Uh, the address is, uh, 217-50-19 Mile in Big Rapids. If you want more
00:34:23.160 information, we have posted the link and we can, you can also register. It's not required,
00:34:28.040 but we'd like people to register for headcount. Um, and that can be found on, uh, our, our, uh,
00:34:34.840 website, protect Mecosta, M-E-C-O-S-T-A dot org. So if any of the listeners want to join us tomorrow,
00:34:45.160 um, doors open at, uh, 1030 and, um, Senator Vance will be speaking around 1 30. Um, but we'd love
00:34:51.800 everyone to do. We want a big showing tomorrow, Glenn, to really, really bring home the message
00:34:57.160 that the CCP is not welcome here. Uh, let me just use the world's most expensive paging system
00:35:04.520 to say, uh, Ricky, Ricky, will you just tweet that out for me? The address and all of the
00:35:10.840 information. All right. So, uh, that's just so she can, she can hear me down the hall. Um, anyway,
00:35:17.760 um, so do you think you're winning on this? Well, I can tell you this, uh, we had some really good
00:35:26.400 news in the last few months. I think the last time we spoke to you and I about this was, um,
00:35:31.800 when we were going into the election, the recall elections. And I'll have you know,
00:35:36.560 we've won every one of the recalls, um, in the last cycle. And, uh, we picked the, you know,
00:35:42.100 there were two seats that were ineligible for recall in the last election. Well,
00:35:46.060 in the August primaries, we actually, uh, picked up, uh, another seat in green charter township.
00:35:52.000 So we have a super majority there and we ran, uh, candidates, no Goshen candidates against
00:35:58.160 all of the County commissioners. And I'm proud to say that, uh, we have now a majority
00:36:03.460 of, uh, the Mecosta County commission as well. In many cases, most of these elections,
00:36:08.880 the primary is the general, because they're all Republicans. That's the irony of, of this.
00:36:15.000 They're all called Republicans. You know, the other thing I want to mention, Glenn,
00:36:19.720 we talk about this often. You, you'd speak of this all the time.
00:36:22.860 And God stepped in. When you look at the number of people, the talent that have come together in
00:36:32.160 this cause, it's amazing. And the fact, you know, that I've happened to live here and I've worked
00:36:37.800 for you, you know, we, I mean, this has brought us so much access to so many things and that's God.
00:36:45.000 You know, my friend, Ormond Hook, who, uh, you met a while ago, he, he's helped us, uh, uh, you know,
00:36:51.760 fight this battle. He's been one of the leaders as well. And, you know, he said, he likes to say
00:36:56.520 it like this. They, they chose to mess with the wrong rednecks. God, you know, has brought together 1.00
00:37:04.460 an amazing collection of talent here, uh, to fight this battle. And, you know, you can, it's,
00:37:10.960 it's just an awesome thing to see when you see it in action. And you, you know, you've always said
00:37:17.300 that the solution is going to be divine intervention. Well, we've seen it in this
00:37:21.680 case. There's no question. His fingerprints are all over this and it's awesome to see.
00:37:29.520 Tom, it's always great to talk to you. Thank you so much. Uh, that's tomorrow, uh, in Mecosta
00:37:36.120 County, Michigan. Uh, it is to stop a, the CCP from coming into this town and literally in their,
00:37:45.200 uh, bylaws, they are trying, they will have classes to recruit people into the communist
00:37:53.220 party. I mean, it, it's, it's really a remarkable thing that, you know, this, these commissioners
00:37:59.400 thought that they could get by their own town, but this is what it really looks like when you
00:38:06.540 take control of your country. Again, you just start with your commissioners and your city council
00:38:12.960 and you flip that, you start with your school board and you flip it. That's how real change
00:38:18.680 is going to happen. It's going to happen from the bottom up, never the top down. Uh, Dom,
00:38:23.040 thanks. God bless you. Uh, so, uh, so Stu, I, I read a story today and, uh, I just thought it
00:38:35.600 was important to, to share, uh, Tiffany Santos, she's 27 years old. Uh, and she's now going to
00:38:44.780 the gun range to make sure that she can protect herself. Um, and she's, I don't know. Do you know
00:38:51.780 Tiffany Santos? She's an influencer. I do not. Yeah. Yeah. Well, she's taking up shooting lessons
00:38:59.880 to protect herself against men who are really unable to resist her undeniable beauty. Uh,
00:39:07.600 she said, yeah, she said in an interview, uh, being too beautiful brings a lot of risks. Uh,
00:39:16.380 being too pretty shouldn't be a curse, but unfortunately, uh, it is. And I read that this
00:39:22.260 morning and I thought, boy, I can relate. Uh, and I'm right. I'm right there with you.
00:39:27.280 Wait, what? You, you can relate to what? Yeah. No, being too beautiful, being too good looking
00:39:36.420 Stu is just a curse. It really is. It really is. I've lived with my whole life and, um,
00:39:43.880 you know, that's why I carry a gun. That's why Tiffany carries a gun. Can you imagine saying 0.72
00:39:49.980 that about yourself? Yeah. You know, I have to carry a gun because I'm too beautiful. Uh,
00:39:56.160 it is just a curse. Legitimately like, don't hate me because I'm beautiful. It is really that in real
00:40:01.440 life. It's literally that in real life. It's just exactly that in real life. Yeah. Uh, it's just a
00:40:08.200 curse that I bear. Uh, you know, that and, and my humility, everybody recognizes me for my beauty
00:40:14.740 and my humility. Uh, and it's just really tough on me.
