The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Alex Newman & Zach Dasher ｜ 10⧸1⧸24

00:00:00.000 Okay, today's podcast, what to expect the dock worker strike to look like if it goes on more than a week.

00:00:09.420 Also, Alex Newman joins the show to talk about the UN's pack for life.

00:00:13.860 And Tim Walls stopped by to talk about the debate with J.D. Vance tonight and how he's preparing for it.

00:00:19.440 Plus, on the full show podcast, you'll hear from Zach Dasher.

00:00:23.700 He is part of the Robinson Duck Dynasty clan.

00:00:27.040 He called in and talked about what he has seen firsthand in North Carolina, and it is rough.

00:00:34.340 We wrote a check for $100,000 to help his church get on their feet.

00:00:41.180 If you have the means, please donate to Mercury One in the cleanup efforts and getting water there.

00:00:48.320 We have helicopters going in again today, full packed with supplies, a couple of helos.

00:00:54.640 And we certainly need your help at mercuryone.org.

00:00:59.560 That's on the full podcast.

00:01:11.980 The fun part and the not so fun part.

00:01:13.600 The fun part is seeing houses, making your plans, designing the look of your future in your head, and you walk through the rooms.

00:01:19.560 All that stuff is fun.

00:01:20.600 But then the not so fun part is all the paperwork, the stress of securing a loan, selling your current house. 0.98

00:01:26.960 That stuff sucks.

00:02:08.380 The name says it all.

00:02:10.760 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:02:18.760 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:22.860 Let me take you first to another issue.

00:02:25.880 You know, you get up this morning, scrolling through your phone, checking your news feed, having a cup of coffee, and then there's this headline.

00:02:31.960 U.S. port workers begin nationwide strike.

00:02:38.600 Okay, good, good, good.

00:02:40.600 Now, we could, you could just blow this off because the ports and, you know, dock workers sounds distant.

00:02:47.020 You know.

00:02:47.180 It was the worst season of The Wire.

00:02:49.920 Okay.

00:02:50.520 You know, so it's the kind of the one you skip, I feel like.

00:02:52.860 Okay, this one is about to reach out right into your home, your wallet, your daily life.

00:02:58.220 So, I need to explain what's coming our way.

00:03:01.640 First, in week one, in the first week, you might not notice much.

00:03:08.320 So, there's no reason to panic.

00:03:10.580 You can go and, you know, go to the store and stock up on some things, but there's no reason to run out and do that this week.

00:03:19.900 Your online orders are still arriving.

00:03:22.200 Maybe you hear a blip on the news about some ships stuck offshore for a few industries hinting at some delays.

00:03:28.120 But for most people, life is going to go on as normal in week one.

00:03:32.600 It started last night.

00:03:33.960 Now, behind the scenes, things are starting to shake and crack a little bit.

00:03:39.440 Retailers, manufacturers, and businesses that depend on regular shipments are beginning to feel the pinch in week one.

00:03:47.280 The just-in-time supply system, you know, that we all learned about in COVID, that's beginning to have a little bit of a strain.

00:03:55.860 And it's starting to wobble a little bit.

00:03:58.180 And while the shelves are still full for now, the stock rooms in the back are running thin.

00:04:03.040 By week two, by the second week, you're going to start feeling things.

00:04:10.520 So, next week, maybe midweek, if it's still going on, maybe you head for the store in something as simple as bananas or a pair of new shoes.

00:04:20.120 Suddenly, the shelves aren't as full.

00:04:22.240 Some items just aren't there.

00:04:24.080 Fresh avocados or berries that you've gotten used to, they're sitting on ships waiting to dock.

00:04:29.440 And it's not just food, it's electronics, it's clothing, even toys for your kids.

00:04:35.180 They start becoming harder to find.

00:04:37.960 Prices?

00:04:38.880 By week two, they may start on some items to inch upward.

00:04:43.860 Businesses are now scrambling to get their hands on what's left, and the competition drives up cost.

00:04:50.100 That cheap TV that you were thinking of buying, you may have to add anywhere from 10% to 30% to the price tag.

00:04:57.940 By the end of week two, if you were planning on doing some home repairs or upgrades, good luck.

00:05:05.620 All of the tools and materials are sitting in crates, gathering dust at the ports.

00:05:10.580 This is also a problem because of the hurricane.

00:05:16.340 Anything that you get at Home Depot is going to be in short supply because of the hurricane,

00:05:22.900 and by week two, the dock workers strike.

00:05:26.400 Now, by the third week, if it goes on that long, now we're getting into some problems.

00:05:33.040 It's no longer just a shortage of bananas or phone chargers.

00:05:36.580 Entire industries begin to slow down.

00:05:39.460 Factories that rely on parts from overseas just in time can't keep running.

00:05:44.920 So the workers in those factories, people you might know, maybe it is you, are getting furloughed,

00:05:50.440 sent home without pay because there's nothing for you to build.

00:05:53.900 Grocery stores begin to ration some items and limiting on some items how much you can buy.

00:06:01.000 Now, at this point, the strike is not a nuisance.

00:06:04.720 This is week three.

00:06:06.240 This point in week three, it becomes a crisis.

00:06:09.780 The online orders you placed, delayed, weeks out.

00:06:12.900 Businesses are pleading with the government for help by now.

00:06:16.500 But even if the strike ended in week three, it would take weeks to untangle the mess at the ports.

00:06:24.300 By now, inflation is beginning to rear its ugly head.

00:06:29.200 Everything from groceries to gas to clothes is more expensive than it was just two weeks ago.

00:06:35.240 So, week four, this is when it becomes the full weight of the strike is unavoidable.

00:06:44.480 And I believe it becomes a national security problem.

00:06:47.640 And possibly by this time in week four, it is just one part of what I am looking for,

00:06:54.520 and we'll explain later on the show, a polycrisis.

00:06:58.360 A polycrisis is what will take us out in a knockout blow. 0.87

00:07:03.700 And you already have a little bit of a polycrisis with the dock workers and the hurricane.

00:07:09.800 Small businesses are now closing their doors because they can't get their inventory.

00:07:14.360 Grocery store shelves are sparse with some items missing altogether.

00:07:18.580 Your favorite brands might be out of stock.

00:07:21.580 Maybe you head to the hardware store only to find that the building materials you need

00:07:25.260 are either unavailable or so expensive they're out of reach.

00:07:29.860 Now let's talk long term.

00:07:32.540 Timing couldn't be worse because we're heading into fall.

00:07:36.720 And you know what that means.

00:07:38.160 The holiday season.

00:07:40.060 Retailers are counting on the next few months for a huge chunk of their sales.

00:07:44.580 And the Christmas gifts you've been eyeing, there's a good chance they won't make it in

00:07:49.520 time for Christmas.

00:07:50.920 Toys, electronics, clothing, they're sitting in ships or backordered at factories.

00:07:56.020 They can't get the parts.

00:07:57.460 Even if the strike ends after four weeks, the backlog will last for months.

00:08:02.940 Shipping will be slow.

00:08:04.280 And prices?

00:08:05.740 You'll be paying a premium for anything you can find.

00:08:09.540 So here's what you need to know.

00:08:11.880 Week one, just be aware.

00:08:13.960 If you want to get some fruit and you have some extra fruit in the house, you know, for

00:08:18.460 week two, if it goes on that long, great.

00:08:21.960 I can't imagine that this strike goes on very long because it will create a national emergency.

00:08:31.140 However, I'm not sure if our president is too busy of lathering on sunscreen at the beach

00:08:39.120 or if his goals are just not the same as our goals to keep America safe and healthy.

00:08:46.780 So I don't know why.

00:08:50.420 Remember the train negotiation?

00:08:52.480 You know, he kept the trains running.

00:08:53.940 We kept the trains running.

00:08:55.000 He got involved immediately.

00:08:56.700 And he made sure that strike didn't happen.

00:09:01.180 Well, where is he now?

00:09:02.960 And the media is saying, well, he can't really do anything, you know, can't really, you know,

00:09:07.100 maybe in a couple of weeks.

00:09:08.360 Really?

00:09:08.720 Maybe in a couple of weeks.

00:09:10.080 He stopped the train thing from going into a strike.

00:09:14.760 Why isn't he involved this time?

00:09:16.700 He's Mr. Labor Union.

00:09:20.360 So I don't know what's happening in a normal America.

00:09:26.280 The president would make sure this strike was settled.

00:09:30.360 But wait until you hear what they're asking for and what they've already turned down.

00:09:35.040 So if it goes four weeks, truckers, rail workers, warehouses will be overwhelmed trying to just move everything.

00:09:46.480 Prices will stay high through the holiday season.

00:09:49.340 Supply chains will struggle to recover.

00:09:51.960 Holiday shopping season is going to be leaner, fewer options on the shelves, less to spend

00:09:57.520 because inflation is going to chip away at your budget again.

00:10:00.320 The economic hit won't be limited just to higher prices.

00:10:05.620 Jobs will be lost as industries scramble to adapt disruptions.

00:10:09.620 Companies may start shifting operations to avoid reliance on our U.S. ports in the future.

00:10:15.180 That's great, huh?

00:10:16.680 Potentially relocating manufacturing or looking to automate more of their processes to reduce reliance on labor.

00:10:24.020 That will mean fewer jobs for the very workers that are striking today in the long run.

00:10:29.580 So when you hear about the port thing, no, this is a very serious issue.

00:10:36.540 Not today, but if you want to be prepared, you might don't go crazy at a Costco.

00:10:45.840 Just make sure you have what your family needs in case things get worse.

00:10:53.220 Because I have no idea what will happen.

00:10:55.540 When you hear what the dock workers are striking for, maybe you think it's reasonable, but let's get into the details.

00:11:02.720 They're striking for two big reasons.

00:11:05.580 One, they want higher pay.

00:11:07.640 Everybody does.

00:11:08.780 They want assurances that their jobs won't be taken over by machines, by automation.

00:11:13.780 Everybody wants that.

00:11:15.100 Got it.

00:11:15.680 So on the surface, it sounds reasonable.

00:11:18.180 Everyone wants better pay.

00:11:19.660 No one wants to lose their job to a robot.

00:11:21.660 But when you start unpacking what they're asking for and comparing it to the average American worker, and when you consider the long-term effects on our country's economy, especially in competition with China, picture gets a little more complex.

00:11:37.160 Okay, first, let's talk about the pay raise.

00:11:38.940 The average longshoreman, the dock workers, already make about $100,000 to $200,000 a year.

00:11:47.580 Six figures.

00:11:48.980 Some even earn more when you factor in overtime.

00:11:52.780 Now, if you compare that to the average American worker who pulls in around $56,000 a year, that's quite a gap.

00:12:01.320 Now, they're not just asking for more.

00:12:05.040 They are pushing for significant raises, sometimes 10% to 15% a year or even higher, depending on the location in the union negotiations.

00:12:16.440 For someone already making $100,000, that could mean a $10,000 to $15,000 or $20,000 raise every year.

00:12:25.240 Meanwhile, the average American worker, we're lucky to see a 2% or 3% raise.

00:12:30.200 Lucky.

00:12:30.540 In fact, with inflation running hot, many workers are losing purchasing power and wages are not keeping pace with inflation and the cost of living.

00:12:40.380 But it isn't a small pay raise.

00:12:43.340 Over the term of the next six years, they are asking for a 77% pay raise over the six-year life of the contract.

00:12:55.900 Now, they've been offered a 50% increase and have turned that down.

00:13:04.660 Now, the dock workers in California and the West Coast, they got a 34% pay raise over the course of their contract.

00:13:16.020 These guys are asking for 77% increase over the next six years, been offered a 50% and have turned it down, walked away.

00:13:27.380 Okay.

00:13:28.920 I mean, that's going to be hard for people to swallow.

00:13:34.380 And understand, I get it.

00:13:36.880 Dock work is tough.

00:13:38.220 It's physically demanding.

00:13:39.640 It is risky.

00:13:40.640 It's not an old man's game.

00:13:43.940 But the pay is already far above the national average.

00:13:47.640 And their demands for even more seem a little out of sync with what most people are experiencing in their lives.

00:13:54.020 And I am for people making as much money as they can.

00:13:57.860 But we're all connected.

00:13:59.880 And everyone has to remember, this is a business.

00:14:03.080 All of this stuff has to work for business.

00:14:07.400 Everyone has to win.

00:14:09.320 Because if it's just the dock workers, nobody wins.

00:14:12.980 Even at a 50% pay increase, that is going to be passed on to you in higher costs.

00:14:19.540 And that's not the real problem.

00:14:21.340 The real problem comes in what their second demand is.

00:14:26.960 The dock workers want ironclad guarantees that the ports will not replace any of them with a machine. 0.94

00:14:34.860 Now think about that for a moment.

00:14:37.060 They're asking for a commitment that even as technology advances,

00:14:42.000 ports won't introduce things like automated cranes or self-driving trucks or robotics

00:14:47.260 to do the work faster, cheaper, more safely, and efficiently.

00:14:51.820 This is a conversation America and the world should have had 20 years ago.

00:14:56.560 And I talked about it 20 years ago.

00:14:59.780 And I talked about it every year since.

00:15:02.740 We're going to come to a time where if you don't know what the meaning of life is,

00:15:09.380 you're going to be kind of upside down.

00:15:12.100 Because people are going to start losing their jobs.

00:15:14.840 Maybe we should start looking at the jobs of the future

00:15:18.500 and start training people for those because the average job is going away.

00:15:24.460 Well, now you're in it.

00:15:26.340 This is like AI.

00:15:27.580 Should have had that discussion 20 years ago.

00:15:31.020 But now we're all scrambling.

00:15:34.020 Why?

00:15:34.480 Because there is no leadership in this country.

00:15:38.080 That's why.

00:15:39.060 There's no real leader.

00:15:41.180 And without vision, without a leader with vision, the people will perish.

00:15:47.580 And that's what's happening.

00:15:49.660 So I can sympathize with the dock workers.

00:15:53.280 No one wants to be told that we got a machine that can do your job faster and without brakes.

00:15:57.120 Good luck.

00:15:58.100 But here's the thing.

00:16:00.400 Automation is happening.

00:16:03.260 Just like AI now, it's too late to stop it.

00:16:07.020 It's happening.

00:16:09.120 So now we have to figure out how do we retool instead of just saying,

00:16:14.680 you know what, you're out.

00:16:16.260 How do we retool?

00:16:17.700 Because if we don't retool, if we are acting like people who said the horse and buggy have

00:16:26.280 to be kept, we lose China, their ports. 0.98

00:16:31.660 Have you seen the video that's circling the world now?

00:16:35.020 The ports in China are highly automated.

00:16:39.300 It's like one office and the whole port runs in one office.

00:16:43.280 They move goods faster, more efficiently than we do.

00:16:47.420 They have automated cranes, AI-driven systems.

00:16:50.960 The robots work around the clock.

00:16:52.880 Minimal human interference.

00:16:54.360 It is safer, faster, cheaper.

00:16:57.920 This allows China to process millions of more containers than we do at a fraction of the cost

00:17:05.500 and time.

00:17:06.120 Why do you think people buy their products from China?

00:17:10.320 Because they, through slave labor and now through automation, they can make it cheaper.

00:17:17.920 If we don't automate our ports, we are putting ourselves in a disadvantage for a long-term knockout punch.

00:17:27.700 Global trade is cutthroat.

00:17:30.980 Companies will ship through countries and ports that can move their goods faster and cheaper.

00:17:34.700 And if the U.S. sticks with old labor-intensive methods, shipping companies will look elsewhere

00:17:40.320 to countries like China that can get the job done more efficiently.

00:17:45.000 This will mean lost business for U.S. ports, fewer goods flowing through our economy,

00:17:51.000 and ultimately fewer jobs for dock workers in the long run.

00:17:56.120 We, I'm sorry, gang, have to automate to be able to compete in today's world.

00:18:04.700 If you're willing to go back and live like the old-timey days, where, you know, back in the, you know,

00:18:12.180 back around the turn of the century, 80% lived below the poverty line, okay?

00:18:17.340 80% of Americans.

00:18:19.560 So you want to go back to that, that's fine.

00:18:22.020 But we have a brave new world that we are facing now, and these dock workers are in trouble.

00:18:32.860 Well, I talk to you about Jace Medical.

00:18:34.620 Every day we move closer to a potential war with countries like Russia and China, even North Korea.

00:18:40.500 That's not what I'm afraid of in the short term.

00:18:45.640 In October, we have the port unions, the unions of all of our port workers, going on strike.

00:18:53.520 That would mean all of that stuff on ships will sit there, and we will have shortages, just like we did with COVID.

00:19:00.300 There are so many things that you need to make sure are in place for you and your family in short order.

00:19:05.500 There is something you can do to ensure that your loved ones have the medication on hand when it is needed,

00:19:11.120 and it is called the Jace Case, a personalized emergency kit that contains essential antibiotics and medications

00:19:17.560 that treat the most common deadly bacterial infections.

00:19:30.120 Now back to the podcast.

00:19:31.380 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and don't forget, rate us on iTunes.

00:19:38.860 Alex Newman, how are you, sir?

00:19:41.420 I'm doing fantastic.

00:19:42.440 Thank you for having me, sir.

00:19:43.340 How many times in your life have you just heard, hello, Newman?

00:19:50.220 It happens more and more, actually.

00:19:52.340 And I never watched Seinfeld growing up outside of the country, so it's ironic.

00:19:55.960 Oh, my gosh.

00:19:56.840 You have to watch it.

00:19:57.680 It's some of the meanest people you've ever seen.

00:20:00.240 I mean, so anyway, Alex, I know you've been covering Pact for the Future, and you were there at the UN,

00:20:10.680 and you've talked to some of the leaders on this.

00:20:15.080 First, explain what it is to people that don't know and why it's so important.

00:20:20.020 Well, the Pact for the Future, essentially, Glenn, is an effort to radically transform the United Nations.

00:20:27.160 That's how they're portraying it.

00:20:28.560 I think better than the word transform would be to use the word empower.

00:20:32.240 Because when the UN was started, at least the marketing job was, this is just about peace.

00:20:37.720 You know, we're not trying to build a world government.

00:20:39.680 We're not trying to steal your sovereignty.

00:20:41.060 This is just so countries don't fight each other.

00:20:43.740 As you read the Pact for the Future, you'll see the UN now believes that it should be involved in education,

00:20:49.380 the environment, law, business, economics, culture, sports, religion, you name it.

00:20:55.840 And they actually marketed this internally, and they had the posters everywhere.

00:20:59.620 This is about turning the UN into UN 2.0.

00:21:03.940 And as Antonio Guterres said, the Socialist Secretary General,

00:21:07.200 and they actually put it in these big speech bubbles and put stickers and posters all over the place,

00:21:12.040 they said,

00:21:12.380 we can't build a future for our grandchildren with a system built for our grandparents.

00:21:18.280 So it's a big deal.

00:21:19.380 Depending on who you talk to,

00:21:21.020 I reached out to a lot of different experts to get their thoughts on what this meant from a legal perspective.

00:21:26.620 And they range from, you know, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Mike McCall telling me,

00:21:31.660 it's a really bad idea, but it's non-binding,

00:21:34.380 to Professor of International Law Francis Foyle at the University of Illinois,

00:21:37.880 one of the top experts in international law in the world,

00:21:40.440 saying, no, this is actually a treaty, even though Biden is pretending like it's not.

00:21:45.380 And it's going to have very serious legal implications for all the nations of the world.

00:21:49.700 So it's a big deal, no matter how you slice it, Glenn.

00:21:52.140 They want to assume all these emergency powers.

00:21:54.740 They want power to silence speech that they disagree with.

00:21:57.860 They want power to educate your children in their worldview.

00:22:01.840 It's a really big deal.

00:22:02.840 So I saw the video of you trying to interview the head of the, what is she, communications?

00:22:11.820 Yeah.

00:22:12.420 The Secretary General for Communications.

00:22:14.220 Big, big job.

00:22:15.180 Yeah.

00:22:15.620 UN Comzar.

00:22:18.520 She is, you were trying to talk to her because she made a deal with Google, right?

00:22:24.380 A partnership.

00:22:26.080 And she bragged about this. 1.00

00:22:27.200 That's the incredible thing.

00:22:28.260 It's not like I had some secret information.

00:22:30.220 She went to the World Economic Forum side event back in 2022 on sustainable development

00:22:35.060 and bragged to her globalist buddies that, hey, we now have a partnership with Google. 0.81

00:22:40.540 And it was a really interesting explanation.

00:22:42.240 She said, when we Googled climate change, we realized there was distorted information.

00:22:46.380 And it's funny she said that because for many years, my articles covering the UN's climate

00:22:50.780 summits, interviewing a lot of the leading climate experts in the world, were at the top

00:22:54.460 of Google.

00:22:55.020 Same thing with sustainable development, et cetera.

00:22:56.900 And she said, well, we can't have that.

00:22:58.500 So she was very proud that they had formed a partnership now with Google to put the UN's

00:23:03.580 information and allied information at the top.

00:23:06.240 And I just wanted to ask her, you know, about the formula.

00:23:08.500 How do you guys decide what's good and what's bad?

00:23:11.180 How do you decide what should be at the top when people search?

00:23:13.760 And how do you decide what should be buried?

00:23:15.920 And as you saw in the video, she was not interested in talking at all.

00:23:20.000 But she loves communications, you know.

00:23:24.260 Weren't you at a freedom of the press kind of event trying to talk to her, too?

00:23:31.240 Wasn't that a press?

00:23:31.780 It was one of the most ironic things.

00:23:33.060 She had just finished a panel discussion on the importance of freedom of the press.

00:23:37.800 And she had a couple of people there.

00:23:39.320 One of them was the deputy editor of the BBC.

00:23:42.500 And they were moaning about how all these citizen journalists now are undermining the

00:23:46.400 credibility of the establishment media.

00:23:48.840 We need more government subsidies for the press to be free.

00:23:53.080 And I thought, well, yes, this is a free press event.

00:23:55.120 Certainly, she's going to want to talk to the press.

00:23:57.280 But no, not at all.

00:23:58.900 She was interested to talk with other members of the press.

00:24:02.180 I went up to her and asked her, hey, could you tell us about how you guys determine

00:24:05.560 what should be and should not be on the front page of Google?

00:24:07.780 Well, that she didn't want to answer.

00:24:09.480 She said, well, I don't recognize you.

00:24:11.580 And so I can't talk.

00:24:12.980 And then her staff, I guess they were, swooped in and called me away.

00:24:18.580 And then other members of the press just went right up to her.

00:24:21.060 And she put on a big smile and talked to them, told them anything they wanted to know.

00:24:24.600 So I think there were several deceptions there.

00:24:27.900 First of all, pretending like she didn't recognize who we were.

00:24:30.180 Her office had to be involved in accrediting all of us to be surrounded by world leaders. 0.86

00:24:34.120 Second of all, the idea that you can only talk to journalists who you recognize is ludicrous.

00:24:40.760 So she just didn't want to talk about that issue with people who weren't drinking the Kool-Aid.

00:24:45.520 You know, I googled climate change.

00:24:48.880 And let me tell you, these are the sources in order.

00:24:51.600 The United Nations, NASA, NASA, the effects, the United Nations, you go down, then it's the IPC, IPCC, then it's Wikipedia, then it's the United Nations, then it's the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, then the World Bank, then the World Health Organization, and you're on to page two.

00:25:20.240 Very difficult.

00:25:24.180 Very difficult.

00:25:25.280 And it's across everything, right?

00:25:26.540 It's not just the climate.

00:25:27.600 You know, we saw this during COVID.

00:25:29.260 We see this on sustainable issues.

00:25:31.320 We see this on education.

00:25:32.740 They are burying those of us who ask critical questions, who aren't necessarily buying into the narrative, and they're promoting their propaganda, even in the political realm.

00:25:42.460 Donald Trump was just complaining about this the other day.

00:25:44.420 And Google seems to have messed with its algorithm in a way where now pro-Kamala Harris stories come up and pro-Trump stories or even neutral stories get buried.

00:25:53.560 It's very, very nefarious.

00:25:55.040 So, tell me, how is the disparity so great between the, this means nothing, to, no, it's going to mean an awful lot?

00:26:07.300 Where do you land, and why is it that we don't really know?

00:26:14.800 Shouldn't we know somebody?

00:26:17.060 You would think that they would want this to be clear, Glenn, but I think the reality is they don't want it to be clear, because as long as there's this haze of confusion around it, nobody can kind of pin down exactly what's wrong with it.

00:26:28.240 And I think one of the big problems that they have is our Constitution.

00:26:31.540 Our Constitution has a specific method for ratifying treaties.

00:26:35.880 Right.

00:26:36.000 They have to be subject to the advice and the consent of the Senate, and they have to get two-thirds of the Senators.

00:26:41.640 So, even all the Democrats combined and the RINOs, it's very difficult to get stuff like that ratified in the U.S. Senate.

00:26:48.260 So, I saw this during the Obama administration.

00:26:50.340 I was in Paris for the U.N. climate negotiations, and Barack Obama's running around being treated like some sort of superstar, some celebrity,

00:26:58.220 because he promised to slash American CO2 emissions by about a third over the next years.

00:27:03.460 And they were very strategic about how they referred to this document.

00:27:07.900 It was the Paris Agreement.

00:27:09.920 And so, you had people like Senator James Inhofe come in and say, hey, you guys can all go home.

00:27:13.500 The Senate's never going to ratify this stuff.

00:27:15.000 You're not getting any money. 1.00

00:27:15.960 This is dumb. 1.00

00:27:16.840 Go away. 1.00

00:27:17.400 You're not going to extort our taxpayers.

00:27:19.380 But Obama said, no, no, this is an executive agreement.

00:27:21.980 So, I looked in my Constitution.

00:27:23.540 It turns out there's no such thing as an executive agreement.

00:27:26.060 And yet, Barack Obama came back to Washington, D.C., and right away, the EPA starts putting out new mandates, shutting down power plants, Department of Transportation.

00:27:35.260 They're putting in new emission standards for the vehicles.

00:27:38.700 So, they're treating them as if they were binding documents, but they're not submitting them to the Senate for ratification.

00:27:44.740 And I guarantee you, that is a deliberate fraud on the American taxpayers, just like they did with the International Pandemic Accord. 0.71

00:27:52.380 Originally, they called it International Pandemic Treaty, but they knew it wasn't going to get through the U.S. Senate, so it magically morphed into an accord.

00:28:00.680 How many more parts need to be assembled before you think we could truly lose our sovereignty?

00:28:09.000 Well, we're losing our sovereignty bit by bit.

00:28:13.080 One of the organizations that's been instrumental in bringing this about, and they've had a front-row seat to the whole process, and they've been helping it, is the Council on Foreign Relations.

00:28:21.440 And they have a magazine.

00:28:22.340 It's called Foreign Affairs.

00:28:23.240 And back in the 1970s, they published a piece by Richard Gardner, who at the time, I believe, was the Assistant Secretary of State for something.

00:28:31.120 And he explained in there how they're going to build what he described as the House of World Order.

00:28:35.900 And he said, we're not going to do the old-fashioned frontal assault.

00:28:38.220 That's not going to work anymore in today's day and age.

00:28:40.420 I mean, you tell Americans, hey, you're living in a world government.

00:28:43.460 They're going to be mad, and they've got 400 million guns.

00:28:45.340 That's not going to work.

00:28:46.540 So he said, we've got to erode sovereignty piece by piece.

00:28:50.700 And that's what we're watching here.

00:28:52.260 They'll take a little bit of our sovereignty on the climate issue. 0.90

00:28:54.680 Then UNESCO will come up with some new ideas on education.

00:28:57.940 Then the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights will be used as a bludgeon to get us to change our laws on this.

00:29:03.960 Then they'll pass a UN Convention on the Rights of the Child that says we have to change our child welfare laws.

00:29:09.380 And little bit by little bit, more and more policy areas get usurped at the international level.

00:29:15.040 When you read that, it's everywhere.

00:29:17.240 That's why I asked you how many more pieces need – because they're not – every time I think of the progressives, I think of that old Johnny Cash song.

00:29:26.240 I don't know if you remember it, but One Piece at a Time.

00:29:28.480 And it's about a guy who built a Cadillac working at GM and stealing parts one piece at a time.

00:29:35.540 And over 20 years, he had a Cadillac.

00:29:38.800 And I think that's what they've done for the last hundred years.

00:29:43.340 They've done little piece, little piece, little piece.

00:29:46.940 You know, it's like the recovery – what was it?

00:29:50.420 The first big bill, the $7 trillion bill or whatever it was that happened right under Biden at the very beginning had all of the stuff on the border in it.

00:30:01.580 That's where all this money is coming from to put people up.

00:30:04.980 You know, it's all shams. 1.00

00:30:07.960 You look at it, you read it, and you're like, I don't even know what that means.

00:30:10.980 Well, they do.

00:30:12.500 They do.

00:30:12.980 Yeah, and one of the things that is most troubling about this pact for the future, Glenn, is it has the seeds in it for exactly the type of power grab that we're discussing here.

00:30:23.740 So let me give you a little background before I get into what's actually in the pact.

00:30:27.200 So in early 2023 – and I wrote a major article about this – the Secretary General was putting out a series of what they called policy briefs.

00:30:35.520 The series was called Our Common Future.

00:30:37.680 And it was about all these ideas that the Secretary General had for strengthening and improving the United Nations.

00:30:44.440 And all of them were troubling, right?

00:30:46.200 One was about censorship.

00:30:47.580 One was about brainwashing children.

00:30:49.620 But the one that really caught my attention – I said, this is huge.

00:30:52.560 I've got to write about it right this moment – involved emergencies.

00:30:56.020 They call it emergency protocols.

00:30:58.220 And I want to quote from this document because it says that in the event that the Secretary General declares a global emergency, it says right here, all the stakeholders, all institutions, governments, international institutions, the private sector, development banks, religious organizations, all will have to recognize – and I'm quoting here – the primary role of intergovernmental organs that would be U.N. agencies in decision-making.

00:31:25.000 And so they're saying if the Secretary General declares an emergency under this policy brief, then everybody in the world, all institutions are going to have to recognize the U.N. as the main decision-maker.

00:31:36.220 And they give some examples of emergencies.

00:31:38.020 It could be climate.

00:31:38.900 It could be environment.

00:31:39.660 It could be economic.

00:31:40.580 It could be war.

00:31:41.640 It could be a black swan event.

00:31:43.560 It could be something in outer space.

00:31:45.180 It doesn't even have to be global.

00:31:47.460 And so here's what they got in the Pact for the Future, which is directly related to that.

00:31:51.920 It's action item number 54.

00:31:53.460 There's 56 actions.

00:31:54.500 And so I think they buried it at the end very strategically.

00:31:57.560 It says in very clear language, we recognize the need for a more coherent, cooperative, coordinated, and multidimensional international response to complex global shocks and the central role of the United Nations in this regard.

00:32:13.680 And it calls on the Secretary General to come up with ways to strengthen the U.N. system response to complex global shocks.

00:32:20.700 And so imagine for a moment, Glenn, that we maybe see another pandemic, maybe a war breaks out.

00:32:26.540 Maybe there's an economic crisis, a dollar crisis, whatever.

00:32:29.900 And the Secretary General says, well, this is a complex global shock.

00:32:33.360 We're all going to have to do X, Y, Z.

00:32:35.500 And people say, wait a minute.

00:32:36.840 We have national sovereignty.

00:32:38.140 And he says, no, no, go look in the Pact for the Future.

00:32:40.720 All 193 member states of the United Nations agreed by consensus that the U.N. needs to play the central role in this regard.

00:32:49.200 So I'm just doing what the member states told me.

00:32:51.640 And, you know, if you don't like it, take it up with the member states.

00:32:54.120 So this sets up what the U.N. calls a mandate.

00:32:57.860 And so now Secretary General Guterres can just say, hey, I have a mandate to do this.

00:33:01.940 I'm just obeying my bosses, the member states of the U.N.

00:33:05.220 So let me do what I'm doing.

00:33:06.980 Respect my authority.

00:33:09.020 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck podcast.

00:33:11.680 Hear more of this interview and others with the full show podcast available wherever you get podcasts.

00:33:17.760 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:33:20.700 We're glad you're here tonight.

00:33:22.800 I went, hello?

00:33:24.980 Hello?

00:33:26.140 Hello, Glenn?

00:33:27.320 I fought in World War II.

00:33:30.320 This is Tim Walz.

00:33:31.560 I know, Tim.

00:33:32.460 How are you still on the phone?

00:33:33.500 I was talking for seven minutes and you did not answer.

00:33:36.720 Okay, because I thought we had hung up.

00:33:38.640 What are you saying in Minnesota? 1.00

00:33:42.200 Mind your own damn business. 1.00

00:33:43.780 Okay. 1.00

00:33:44.580 All right.

00:33:45.380 Mind.

00:33:46.960 J.D. Vance is weird.

00:33:48.220 Yeah, okay.

00:33:48.720 We're going to talk to you about the J.D. Vance.

00:33:52.180 I like.

00:33:52.920 Debate.

00:33:53.400 I like poodles.

00:33:54.720 You what?

00:33:56.020 Poodles.

00:33:56.960 Poodles?

00:33:57.440 I like poodles.

00:33:58.420 I like to.

00:33:59.060 Okay.

00:34:00.080 Okay.

00:34:00.800 Tim Walz, hang up the phone, please.

00:34:03.080 Please.

00:34:03.660 Can you?

00:34:04.520 Glenn?

00:34:05.180 Yes?

00:34:06.020 I love you.

00:34:06.980 Okay.

00:34:07.580 All right.

00:34:07.600 I talked about you on the beta.

00:34:09.060 You watched the beta tonight.

00:34:10.300 All right.

00:34:10.720 Will? 1.00

00:34:12.400 Mind your own damn business. 1.00

00:34:13.980 Okay. 1.00

00:34:14.300 These guys are weird.

00:34:15.080 Okay.

00:34:15.620 Thank you.

00:34:16.120 Thank you for calling Tim Walz.

00:34:20.000 Can you cut him off, please?

00:34:22.180 All right.

00:34:22.740 Back.

00:34:24.080 We begin the show here in a minute.

00:34:26.020 Let me tell you about Patriot Bowl. 1.00

00:34:30.220 It's so stupid. 1.00

00:34:36.920 How do we get paid for this? 1.00

00:34:38.400 I have no understanding of it.

00:34:44.420 That's the best impression I have heard of Tim Walz.

00:34:46.900 I've been working on it for a while.

00:34:48.540 It's actually been in development for a while.

00:34:50.460 I've been really thinking about it.

00:34:51.440 I think I've nailed it.

00:34:52.360 I think you did.

00:34:56.340 I mean, if all those phrases came out of his mouth tonight, would you know the difference?

00:35:02.000 You have any idea?

00:35:03.080 We may have a very special guest after tonight's debate on TV.

00:35:11.740 Tim Walz may have to stand by and come on the program tonight, so you don't want to miss that.

00:35:18.360 All right.

00:35:20.860 There's not a chance that it goes poorly tonight, is there?

00:35:25.080 It's hard to believe.

00:35:26.480 Yeah, it is hard to believe.

00:35:27.700 Because Walz doesn't seem to bring anything to the table.

00:35:30.520 As you may be able to tell, he is uniquely grating to me.

00:35:34.260 I can't...

00:35:36.140 Well, I didn't say that.

00:35:37.400 He's so irritating.

00:35:39.360 He is.

00:35:40.000 He really is.

00:35:40.760 When I was doing that impression, I just pull up the Google images of Tim Walz.

00:35:45.080 Because as soon as I see his face and him trying to be this relatable dad character, it's so irritating.

00:35:55.860 I can't tell you.

00:35:58.420 I feel like people don't, like, they don't, they're not seeing what I'm seeing or something.

00:36:06.180 Like, why am I the only one who hates him so much?

00:36:09.160 He's so irritating.

00:36:11.300 Like, uniquely irritating.

00:36:13.560 To me...

00:36:15.080 Wait a minute.

00:36:15.840 ...25 times past Kamala Harris.

00:36:18.920 Like, I... 0.84

00:36:19.540 Kamala Harris is awful, and she does a lot of irritating things, and she'll be a terrible president. 1.00

00:36:24.240 God forbid she wins. 0.99

00:36:25.880 He's, like, just so much more irritating and annoying to me.

00:36:31.440 Like, I can't understand how anyone can like him.

00:36:34.100 I think I have found Stu's waterboarding.

00:36:38.000 Okay?

00:36:38.600 Yes.

00:36:38.920 It's just him trapped in a room with Tim Walz and Andrew Cuomo.

00:36:43.000 Oh, yeah.

00:36:45.840 His head would explode.

00:36:47.160 It's so Stu. 0.98

00:36:47.920 It would absolutely explode.

00:36:49.180 But I don't under...

00:36:50.400 I don't know why, like, people are like, oh, well, he's going to be very relatable.

00:36:53.500 He's a relatable guy, and people just love that Midwestern charm.

00:36:57.040 Do they?

00:36:57.980 Do they? 1.00

00:36:58.500 Because if they do, they should all be shot off the planet into the sun. 0.99

00:37:04.040 Because anyone would fall for this. 0.99

00:37:06.700 I...

00:37:07.000 It's so...

00:37:08.040 Oh, I know.

00:37:08.400 Oh, I can't stand it.

00:37:10.040 I can't stand...

00:37:10.820 That's what bothers me.

00:37:12.140 This would be so fun if the rest of America was like, oh, yeah, no, I see it.

00:37:17.780 I see it.

00:37:18.720 Yeah.

00:37:19.020 It just seems so obvious to me.

00:37:21.280 I know.

00:37:21.880 I know.

00:37:22.680 And I do think that there is a very low hurdle that has been set for J.D. Vance tonight.

00:37:29.400 Everyone seems to think he's the worst person in the world, and he only says strange things.

00:37:34.600 And he's weird.

00:37:36.540 He's so buttoned up.

00:37:38.000 He's just like...

00:37:38.840 Like, I think he does a pretty good job.

00:37:40.940 He's done a good job in these interviews.

00:37:42.660 Yeah.

00:37:43.160 And I think he can do...

00:37:44.940 Like, him... 0.99

00:37:45.280 He doesn't take any crap without getting angry. 0.99

00:37:47.760 You know? 0.99

00:37:48.340 He doesn't get angry at all.

00:37:49.580 You lost your voice because of... 1.00

00:37:51.400 This stupid impression is killing my voice. 1.00

00:37:53.240 Yeah. 1.00

00:37:53.300 Okay.

00:37:53.680 But it is one of those things where...

00:37:55.540 Luckily, I don't have to do 12 hours of live coverage tonight.

00:37:57.960 Yeah.

00:37:58.140 Right.

00:37:58.400 So this is good.

00:37:58.920 I'm glad I played around with that.

00:38:00.040 Yeah.

00:38:01.180 But it is interesting because...

00:38:03.160 Maybe I'll call you Stu.

00:38:06.100 I like guns.

00:38:08.000 You're doing a really good job.

00:38:09.580 How did you...

00:38:10.080 I didn't have to work on that.

00:38:11.760 You're doing the impression of the impression.

00:38:14.020 Yeah.

00:38:14.240 And sometimes that's even easier.

00:38:15.500 Right.

00:38:16.620 He...

00:38:17.140 Vance has a real opportunity to overshoot his expectations tonight.

00:38:24.640 I mean, he could say something terrible and blow it.

00:38:27.320 But he also...

00:38:28.540 If he's just normal, which I think he is...

00:38:31.480 I mean, what story is more normal?

00:38:33.820 A guy who comes out and is lying about every aspect of his life since it started?

00:38:40.440 Well, no.

00:38:40.900 Except for the Tiananmen Square thing.

00:38:42.540 He was there for that.

00:38:45.820 I'm expecting...

00:38:46.820 In fact, we have him on the phone.

00:38:47.860 Get him back on the phone.

00:38:49.140 I'm not going to be able to talk.

00:38:50.060 I just want to talk to him about Tiananmen Square.

00:38:53.860 Hello, Greg.

00:38:54.540 Hello.

00:38:55.220 My name is Tim Walsh.

00:38:56.440 I know your name is Tim Walsh.

00:38:58.240 You were at Tiananmen Square.

00:38:59.900 I've been drooling on the phone a lot.

00:39:01.740 It's very wet.

00:39:05.620 I was at Tiananmen Square.

00:39:08.060 Tiananmen Square.

00:39:09.120 Tiananmen Square.

00:39:10.360 Okay, close enough.

00:39:10.980 I was at Entenman Square.

00:39:12.260 And I had the banana bread.

00:39:15.560 And the salt cookies.

00:39:17.460 I like cookies.

00:39:21.700 I had a cookie at the state fair.

00:39:24.360 Vote for me.

00:39:26.400 They have corn on the cob.

00:39:28.560 I like corn on the cob.

00:39:30.520 Vote for me.

00:39:34.980 Oh my gosh.

00:39:38.660 Oh my gosh.

00:39:40.540 I had a pork chop.

00:39:42.260 I got a stick.

00:39:43.480 That shows that I can relate to you.

00:39:46.380 I coach football.

00:39:48.720 Okay.

00:39:49.500 Okay.

00:39:50.800 I give.

00:39:51.700 I give.

00:39:57.320 I can't stand him, Glenn.

00:39:59.300 I can't.

00:40:04.440 I don't think I've laughed this hard.

00:40:06.100 I don't know how long.

00:40:10.900 Don't you?

00:40:12.260 When you see him, isn't that?

00:40:14.160 Look at this.

00:40:14.740 My voice is shot. 1.00

00:40:16.880 I got pork chop on his dick. 1.00

00:40:21.820 How did you get the corn on the cob? 1.00

00:40:25.360 Well, I could see it happening.

00:40:27.020 Yes.

00:40:27.480 I could see that.

00:40:28.520 Yes.

00:40:29.260 His entire run as the vice presidential nominee is him doing stuff like that.

00:40:35.200 He is.

00:40:35.740 There's no substance there at all.

00:40:39.340 And I have the answer as to whether you're hosting the coverage tonight.

00:40:42.120 The answer is yes.

00:40:43.100 I can't speak.

00:40:45.240 Oh my gosh.

00:40:48.080 I, I, I, this is usually when we would just drop the mic and walk off stage.

00:40:53.240 But, uh, uh, so there are some polls out there.

00:41:00.160 Uh, Donald Trump leads Pennsylvania now by just over two points.

00:41:04.920 Uh, this is from Trafalgar, isn't it?

00:41:07.960 Yeah.

00:41:08.240 Trafalgar showed Trump leading Harris in Pennsylvania, 47.5 to 45.3.

00:41:14.720 Now it's margin of error.

00:41:16.140 So it puts him in a virtual tie, but it's nice to see him on top.

00:41:20.540 Uh, uh, uh, there's a couple of other stories about him.

00:41:29.540 Uh, what, what is this?

00:41:32.920 What is this one?

00:41:35.380 Tim Walls talks to, we rate dogs with rescue dog scout.

00:41:40.220 Hi, Brad, it's Tim Walls.

00:41:52.840 I like dogs. 0.97

00:41:57.380 I killed Osama Bin Laden. 0.95

00:42:00.180 Did you know that?

00:42:02.060 No, I...

00:42:02.900 I was, I was, I killed Osama, I was in Pakistan. 0.99

00:42:06.740 I killed, I killed, I hate, I shot Osama Bin Laden. 0.99

00:42:11.560 Do you believe me? 0.99

00:42:13.420 No, I don't.

00:42:15.000 Do you?

00:42:15.700 No, I don't.

00:42:17.960 I like cornflitters.

00:42:19.960 Okay, thank you.

00:42:21.560 So he's on with, we rate dogs.

00:42:25.200 He said, politics can sometimes bring out the worst in people,

00:42:29.140 but I believe dogs can bring out the best in us.

00:42:32.500 I'm really not going to be able to do this show tonight.

00:42:39.880 So Americans seem, I'm still quoting him. 0.99

00:42:43.900 So Americans seem to be more polarized than ever these days,

00:42:46.960 but loving dogs seems to be pretty universal.

00:42:50.040 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:42:51.280 Why do we...

00:42:52.000 This isn't a real article.

00:42:53.180 Why do we love dogs?

00:42:55.000 Quote, well, they give us unconditional love.

00:42:57.740 I said, I said, I think, I do think they bring out the best in us.

00:43:03.460 I think our politics can sometimes bring out the worst.

00:43:05.940 I see it as a dog park that rarely will people talk politics.

00:43:10.940 They talk dogs and they talk about the weather.

00:43:12.800 They talk about how lucky we are to be here

00:43:14.620 and think that that's the greatest gift that they have for us

00:43:19.260 is the dog park and the talk in the dog park.

00:43:23.460 What the hell? 0.69

00:43:24.920 What is this? 0.97

00:43:26.780 We are aliens on this planet now.

00:43:34.780 Hi guys, it's Tim Olds.

00:43:37.840 Thank you for having me on my show.

00:43:40.160 These guys are weird.

00:43:42.360 Life is like a dog park.

00:43:49.420 You never know when you step in purple.

00:43:51.760 I try not to step in purple, but it's usually on my shoulders.

00:43:56.780 My shoes hurt.

00:44:00.780 Okay.

00:44:02.780 Okay.

00:44:04.540 Okay.

00:44:05.780 Okay.

00:44:06.680 All right.

00:44:07.300 Okay.

00:44:07.620 I step in purple again.

00:44:10.580 Every day I step in purple.

00:44:14.160 I don't even have dog and I keep stepping in purple.

00:44:18.360 Whose purple is it, Glenn?

00:44:20.040 It's weird.

00:44:22.040 It's weird.

00:44:23.320 Somebody, somebody's doing it on my lawn.

00:44:26.500 And I look at the cameras and it was me.

00:44:30.820 I don't even remember it.

00:44:32.860 I don't even remember it.

00:44:34.640 I don't eat a lot of food at the van.

00:44:35.540 Okay.

00:44:36.360 Okay.

00:44:38.040 It goes through you quickly.

00:44:39.480 You don't even have to be able to do anything.

00:44:51.800 There's so much spittle on this phone.

00:44:54.280 It's like I'm going to work.

00:44:57.560 I step in.

00:44:58.480 Poop, it's me.

00:45:06.080 I mean, I, how do you, how, how is this guy on this ticket?

00:45:13.100 How is this happening?

00:45:14.540 How is this ticket happening?

00:45:16.940 How is it happening?

00:45:18.080 How is it happening?

00:45:19.180 I, they're so, they're both so embarrassing.

00:45:24.180 Like, is it possible that this is what we have in this country?

00:45:28.560 That we're just throwing up this, this guy who's, says he's a football coach and is stepping

00:45:34.040 in poo-poo. 0.86

00:45:34.740 Those are like his main, his main qualifications to be vice president of the United States.

00:45:41.140 Well, he also carried a gun in war and he went to Tiananmen Square.

00:45:45.020 Killed Osama bin Laden.

00:45:46.260 I mean, the guy's got some qualifications.

00:45:47.660 Yeah, I mean, this guy's great.

00:45:49.800 Oh my gosh.

00:45:50.800 I, I just, I don't even know what to do other than just to mock it.

00:45:54.080 It's just a laugh at it.

00:45:55.260 It's so disturbing.

00:45:57.960 We're about, I mean, this debate tonight is a joke.

00:46:00.660 You have one guy who's, who's done what with his life?

00:46:04.140 Like this, this.

00:46:05.080 None of them have done anything.

00:46:06.180 None of these things are true.

00:46:06.940 I have no idea who he is.

00:46:08.940 Everything he's told us about his life has been a lie.

00:46:11.000 Even the, the, the, the process that, that created his daughter, they lied about.

00:46:21.460 Even that foundational thing in their family, they lied about.

00:46:25.340 He's lied about everything.

00:46:28.320 And he's accomplished what?

00:46:30.240 They're like, oh, JD Vance is weird.

00:46:31.820 He's a, he's a, what has he done?

00:46:33.420 Um, he came up from impossible poverty.

00:46:37.020 Uh, he, uh, served in the military.

00:46:40.300 Didn't lie about it constantly.

00:46:42.480 Became a venture capitalist.

00:46:44.120 Wrote a bestselling book.

00:46:45.220 Had a movie created.

00:46:46.300 Became a U.S. senator.

00:46:47.320 Is now a vice presidential candidate.

00:46:48.760 That, that's an, that's an American story that you'd make a movie out of.

00:46:53.940 It's an incredible story.

00:46:54.900 They did make, I'd like to remind you, they did make a movie.

00:46:59.420 His life, if you haven't seen Hillbilly Elegy, it is, it's unbelievable.

00:47:05.440 It's unbelievable.

00:47:05.940 Everybody should watch that.

00:47:07.860 I mean, you watch that and you think, I, I, I wish I had a kid like that. 0.98

00:47:14.300 I wish I had a grandparent like his grandmother and his family is really screwed up. 0.77

00:47:21.020 Have you seen it, Sarah? 0.98

00:47:22.360 Oh, you got to watch it.

00:47:23.780 You got to watch it.

00:47:24.620 It's unbelievable.

00:47:25.320 Have you seen it?

00:47:26.100 I actually haven't seen the movie.

00:47:27.560 You got to see it.

00:47:28.700 Have you read the book?

00:47:29.840 I know.

00:47:30.540 I haven't actually read the book.

00:47:32.740 I mean, I've obviously read a lot about it.

00:47:36.000 You should watch that before tonight's debate.

00:47:40.380 It, it tells you everything you need to know about him.

00:47:43.560 It is, honestly, you, you watch it and the, the, the childhood this kid had was terrible.

00:47:50.080 No, no, no, you don't even begin to understand.

00:47:55.040 And just horrific, horrific.

00:47:59.440 And then, and then finally his grandmother takes him away from his mother, who's just out of control.

00:48:07.980 And his grandmother isn't that great.

00:48:11.120 She's rough around the edges a little bit.

00:48:12.720 Yeah, a little rough around the edges.

00:48:15.440 But she turns out to be great.

00:48:17.060 And she finally looks at him and just balls him out as, you know, a 10 or 12 year old and says, you have a chance to get out of this.

00:48:26.100 You're smart enough.

00:48:27.440 But I'm beginning to question if you are.

00:48:31.200 You apply yourself and get out of here.

00:48:35.240 And he does.

00:48:36.660 And he ends up going to Yale.

00:48:38.220 And as he's in Yale, or as he's getting his, his interview to intern for some law firm, his mom is in the hospital.

00:48:49.920 I think she tried to kill herself. 0.51

00:48:52.020 I can't remember exactly.

00:48:53.320 But she's in the hospital and he's having to juggle this whole thing.

00:48:56.600 His girlfriend, who's now his wife, he didn't tell her about his family.

00:49:01.260 She had no idea.

00:49:02.420 He was so deeply embarrassed by it.

00:49:06.020 And his wife steps up, is now his girlfriend in the movie.

00:49:10.320 They're going to college at the same time.

00:49:13.320 And she, like, why are you just going away?

00:49:17.620 What is happening with your family?

00:49:19.360 And he doesn't say anything.

00:49:20.340 She just shows up. 0.71

00:49:22.140 And it's amazing.

00:49:23.920 It's amazing.

00:49:24.420 This guy is a true American success story.

00:49:29.900 It is somebody who had every disadvantage, every disadvantage, except his color.

00:49:38.320 But he grew up without a dad.

00:49:41.900 He grew up in an abusive household with alcoholism everywhere.

00:49:47.620 No one around him was successful.

00:49:49.840 The only mentor he had was his grandmother.

00:49:54.020 And his grandmother, as you said, a little rough around the edges. 0.98

00:49:58.320 He did it himself.

00:50:01.220 It's incredible.

00:50:02.760 And he's married to the daughter of immigrants as well, right?

00:50:08.520 That's why he knows they're eating those dogs.

00:50:12.820 Can you imagine?

00:50:13.900 Like, they've tried to pin him as an anti-immigrant guy.

00:50:17.680 I know.

00:50:18.180 After all this.

00:50:20.260 Yeah.

00:50:20.900 You've got to watch it.

00:50:22.340 Hillbilly Elegy, if you haven't seen it, it is really worth your time.

00:50:25.720 I thought it would be good, but it's great.

00:50:29.280 It's really great.

00:50:30.800 Glenn!

00:50:32.040 Hi, it's Tim Wolves!

00:50:34.400 I know.

00:50:34.840 I like movies, too!

00:50:36.760 I eat the popcorn!
