00:00:47.840 Emirate of Afghanistan's person of the year, Taliban Joe Biden, available at TalibanJoeMerch.com.

00:00:58.440 The Democrats are concerned that there might be some funny business going on with the voting

00:01:16.420 machines. They're not sure this vote will be secure. We'll bring up to speed on on that. And it's a good 0.99

00:01:24.360 thing. You know, these progressives, California leads the way they lead the way. Okay. And it is,

00:01:32.320 I am so happy to see that California finally is, you know, since what? 1849 finally has a legitimate

00:01:43.860 candidate that is black, but he's racist. I mean, I don't know if you saw this. I, I don't remember the 0.69

00:01:52.980 news source. I think it was Babylon something. Apparently they have a photo of Larry Elder in

00:02:02.100 his, in his, uh, high school yearbook with blackface. How could you possibly have that guy 1.00

00:02:12.040 in California? Actually, I think that's the way you get to be a governor in this country right now.

00:02:16.900 Oh yeah. Yeah. That's actually going to be a real positive for him. You might be, you might be,

00:02:20.340 or you could just go to Canada. Um, let me give you a, a couple of, uh, pieces of news here. Um,

00:02:28.580 let's, uh, stay on the abortion thing for just a minute. Cut four. This is Saki, uh, answering an

00:02:34.680 abortion question. Listen to this. Following up on the sexist law, why does the president support

00:02:39.160 abortion when his own Catholic faith teaches abortion is morally wrong? He believes that it's

00:02:45.360 a woman's right. It's a woman's body and it's her choice. Why does the president, who does he 0.99

00:02:49.320 believe in should look out for the unborn child? He believes that it's up to a woman to make those 1.00

00:02:53.520 decisions, uh, and up to a woman to make those decisions with her doctor. I know you've never 0.95

00:02:57.260 faced those choices, nor have you ever been pregnant, but for women out there who have faced

00:03:01.540 those choices, this is an incredibly difficult thing. Oh, this is a woman's thing. Go ahead. 1.00

00:03:06.500 I think we got to move on. Wow. I am so offended. I am so offended. How dare them?

00:03:15.380 Men can be pregnant too. And a man who has been pregnant several times, Lieutenant Colonel Scott

00:03:21.300 Mann. Uh, I'm hearing now he's not been pregnant several times. Well, I don't know what's wrong 0.89

00:03:27.920 with him. Former green beret commander and leader of task force pineapple. Welcome to the,

00:03:33.340 well, over to the program, Scott. How are you? Let me get my second, my breath for a second.

00:03:38.800 I'm ready. Oh, you have breathing exercises. Are you pregnant now? 0.98

00:03:43.800 Yeah. How are you? I'm very good. Hey, uh, I had, um, I have Tim Kennedy on, uh, today on my podcast

00:03:53.960 and I was talking to him yesterday and you know, the, the suicide rate is already crazy of, uh,

00:04:03.320 of Afghani, um, war fighters, uh, on our side. And, um, he, he, I said to him, you know, I just was

00:04:11.760 talking to a guy who's on my staff. He's my chief researcher. He was a Marine. He was one of the

00:04:16.280 first people in, he was off the coast of, um, uh, Australia when the towers fell. And so he was one

00:04:24.980 of the first people in. And yesterday I'm talking to him and all of a sudden he just gets choked up

00:04:30.480 and starts to cry. And we weren't talking about things that were that, um, he just, he just said,

00:04:37.620 you know, I just question what I've done. I just question everything. Can we talk about that,

00:04:44.220 Scott? How can we help? You know, do you know, the, the, the, I'm seeing the same thing with our

00:04:50.480 volunteers who, you know, the, the, the, on the pineapple express who these retired special

00:04:55.280 operators, um, combat infantrymen, Marines who volunteered to help their brothers and sisters

00:05:00.960 who they had served with, they got re-triggered again. I mean, I talked with a Vietnam veteran

00:05:04.580 yesterday, Glenn, who's basically had to watch, um, Saigon fall twice, you know? Um, and you know,

00:05:11.280 the, the level of moral injury that our veteran population and their families and our gold stars 0.57

00:05:17.320 have endured post 9-11 alone, um, you know, 800,000 who fought in Iraq, it is, it is, it is

00:05:23.500 really rough. And when you see, you know, people are, I think people are astounded to see the way

00:05:27.480 we come together around honoring this promise, but I think it's because people finally are hungry for

00:05:32.580 something that gives meaning to what we did. And that's why I sent you that video, the man in the

00:05:37.360 arena is because the only person that gets to assign meaning to a lived experience in combat

00:05:42.040 is the person who lived it. And that's important to remember. So for, for people who don't know,

00:05:47.740 um, can you just quickly tell the story of, um, you know, pineapple rescues, what you guys have done?

00:05:54.260 Yeah, sure. I mean, it just started with one friend of mine named Nazam, who I'd served with

00:05:59.420 in Afghanistan. He was an Afghan commando. He went to our, uh, our American green beret course. 0.99

00:06:04.080 He had applied for his SIV visa. It didn't get approved. And he was in duress hiding in his

00:06:08.960 uncle's, um, apartment in Kabul. And it was clear he was going to be executed as, as Kabul was overrun

00:06:15.340 by the Taliban. So a couple of us, green berets, ABC reporter, James Meek and, uh, Congressman

00:06:20.480 Waltz's staffer, we got together on the phone and we just started coordinating and we found a plan,

00:06:26.420 uh, to basically help get people to help move him through the city, get him close to the gate.

00:06:31.400 We called people inside the gate and started coordinating that way. They recognized that

00:06:36.260 this guy was a commando. He needed to be pulled in and they gave him the word pineapple as a code

00:06:40.840 word. And he used it, got pulled through. And that is how we got to be known as task force

00:06:45.160 pineapple. And then we just brought other seals, other green berets into our midst task force.

00:06:49.780 Duncourt did the same thing, team America. And it was just a group of volunteers who were

00:06:54.780 working to save their brothers and sisters in honor of promise. And, and it was all about

00:06:59.360 just, you know, fulfilling on what we said we would do the way they showed up for us.

00:07:04.300 So when you, um, when you said earlier, I want you to go into moral injury. You're the first person

00:07:12.680 that I have heard say this, and it has really stuck with me, but I'd like you to explore that

00:07:18.580 and explain the moral injury that is happening to you right now to almost everybody who has fought

00:07:27.240 at all in Afghanistan. Yeah. I mean, a moral injury, you know, is, is, I think is one of

00:07:34.820 the worst injuries that we can incur, uh, whether it's in combat or not. And because it's the kind

00:07:39.920 of injury injury that scars the soul, you know, and, and there's no deeper wound than that. When

00:07:44.900 the soul is scarred, when you, when you have to take action that runs counter to your moral compass

00:07:49.820 and, you know, combat throws that at us all the time. And, and politicians make it particularly,

00:07:55.040 uh, challenging because of the policies and bureaucrat bureaucratic approaches that they lay

00:08:00.080 on top of, you know, what should be, you know, the humanity of honoring a promise. And again,

00:08:05.640 this, this, this, this, this is every administration I served under for the whole Afghan war. We faced

00:08:11.540 moral injury after moral injury as we executed our orders. And, and now though, I think this is the

00:08:17.340 ultimate, I mean, any veteran will look at this. I think any citizen will look at this and go,

00:08:21.840 no, no, no, no. This is what my parents taught me when I was in Tennessee. You don't lead your

00:08:25.440 and, and to violate that, I believe if we violate this, if we don't stand together as a nation,

00:08:31.780 we are running off a cliff, cliff towards, you know, an abyss of moral injuries that will haunt us

00:08:38.600 the rest of our days, both as a collective and as individuals. Scott, I don't know if you've ever

00:08:43.240 heard me say this before. The audience is so probably so sick of hearing this story, but it is so,

00:08:48.360 it, it, I understand it fully right now. When I went over to Auschwitz, I talked to, uh, uh, one

00:08:55.420 of the righteous among the nations. She was 16 years old. She started saving Jews with her mom and dad,

00:09:00.600 um, because of her. When I asked her, um, about 10 years ago, what do we do to, to water that seed

00:09:09.240 that's in all of us? She said to me, you misunderstand. The righteous didn't suddenly become

00:09:15.600 righteous. They just refused to go over the cliff with everyone else. This is what you're,

00:09:21.360 this is what you're talking about. Now, these people, all of us know what our parents taught us,

00:09:28.420 what we don't leave people behind. Our word is our bond, all of these things. And if we accept this,

00:09:36.480 we will go over the cliff with the rest of humanity. It is so important for people to stand

00:09:42.500 and do not move from that principle. Once you do, you, it's very hard to come back. It's very,

00:09:51.540 and this is not about Republican or Democrat mass or no mask. This is about a level of humanity

00:09:58.120 and doing what our gut and our solar plexus tells us to do. Our body knows what to do. And we have to

00:10:04.920 trust that. Okay. So Scott, you are, let's, I'm just putting myself now into somebody who's currently

00:10:10.980 serving and you had to stand there and your gut said, this is wrong, but you did the right thing

00:10:18.000 by not, uh, violating a legal order from the president. We have to have that discipline in

00:10:26.720 our military. So what did they do to get past this and how can we help? Yeah, I think a lot,

00:10:35.540 this is my belief is I think a lot of it has to do with storytelling. I think that, you know,

00:10:39.800 societies for thousands of years have used storytelling to assimilate. I mean, that's

00:10:43.780 actually the nonprofit that I run and what I've focused my eight years on since retirement before

00:10:48.560 all this happened. And I can't wait to get back to is helping our warriors tell the story. I mean,

00:10:53.000 they need the scars. I call it the generosity of scars. You know, the scars they've endured,

00:10:57.960 um, are, are actually are, are healing and, and in the form of stories can help guide the rest of us

00:11:04.980 to, to, to, to better days and show us what leadership looks like. Our veterans are doing

00:11:08.620 that now. And I think as a society, the more that we can, uh, empower our veterans to tell us their

00:11:14.120 stories and to listen to their wisdom that to the lived experience that they've been through. I mean,

00:11:18.320 it's, you know, the scars that we have are, are the greatest assets we have in this world. And,

00:11:24.060 and veterans right now are pushing them down because they think that there's something wrong with

00:11:28.680 them, or they think that there's something, you know, um, immoral about them. And they,

00:11:33.320 the fact of the matter is they're the finest humans on the planet. And as a society, we need

00:11:38.340 to give them the permission and the stage and the microphone, however that shakes out to tell those

00:11:43.520 stories and share them with us and, and come home. You know, we never even let our Vietnam veterans 0.75

00:11:48.020 come home. And, and, and this is, I believe narrative and story exchange is one of the most powerful

00:11:53.440 things we can do as a society. I will tell you, I, one of my, one of my, one of my more

00:11:58.280 powerful memories is probably 20 years ago. Now it was right after, uh, nine 11, we were sending

00:12:04.780 people into war and I did something called, what was that, uh, Stu America? Uh, I don't remember,

00:12:11.180 but we went across the nation and I, in the whole rally rally for America. And it was the whole point

00:12:17.920 was we cannot dishonor. If we are going to choose to go to war, we have to be for there for our soldiers

00:12:26.380 in the good times and bad. And we must not repeat the mistakes of, uh, Vietnam. And we did a big, 0.97

00:12:33.120 we did a big event. And I remember a Vietnam veteran coming up to me and he shook my hand and

00:12:40.040 it was the first time that anybody had shook my hand and you know how you do the, um, uh, challenge

00:12:45.460 coins, but his was his metal, uh, from Vietnam. And he shook my hand and in tears, he said,

00:12:52.300 this is the first time I have felt welcomed home since Vietnam.

00:12:58.100 Yeah, you know, that's true, Glenn. And, you know, I actually, for, for the storytelling piece,

00:13:02.700 I wrote a play about the war, uh, called last out. This was before any of this happened through

00:13:07.140 our nonprofit and to complete my midlife crisis. I, I started acting with a group of other combat

00:13:12.520 veterans and we took it on the road and we went to all these different cities and we would, and the

00:13:16.400 whole idea was to do storytelling, like, you know, old school storytelling from the stage so that

00:13:21.380 people in the audience could actually experience and feel, you know, what my character, master

00:13:25.940 Sergeant Danny Patton, the green beret and his family went through in this long war and his

00:13:29.980 relationship with the Afghans. Now it's very haunting to see it, but, but we, I can't tell

00:13:34.780 you that the one green beret Sergeant major sister, she stood up and she said in our talk back, you

00:13:39.800 know, thank you for showing me in 90 minutes, what my baby brother has been trying to tell me for

00:13:43.400 five years. And, you know, it really is in the realm of narrative that, that we can heal. And,

00:13:49.480 and we're going to have to find a way to do that. We're going to have to find a way to do that as a

00:13:53.100 nation. We're going to have to find a way to do that for our veterans. You know, and I'm really

00:13:58.420 looking to, like, I hope that our political leaders, I hope that our thought leaders will

00:14:03.020 look at what our combat veterans are doing right now. You know, while everybody else has gotten

00:14:07.020 really furious, they've gotten to work and they're showing us, they're literally showing us in real

00:14:11.560 time what leadership looks like. I mean, they're modeling it for us in spite of all that they've been

00:14:16.020 through. Some of them are re-triggering themselves in order to honor this promise. And I just hope

00:14:20.560 that we take note of it and we steer away from that cliff as a collective, because it could be

00:14:27.000 our last chance. And I know that's dramatic, but I'm not even kidding. I, I agree with you.

00:14:32.020 Lieutenant Colonel Scott Mann, retired, former Green Beret commander, leader of Task Force

00:14:38.040 Pineapple. You can follow him at Rooftop Leader on Twitter and his website, OperationRecovery.org.

00:14:44.940 Scott, thank you so much for being on the program.

00:14:49.660 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:15:01.100 We have Hurricane Ida to cover and, and Bill, your take on Ida and how things are going.

00:15:09.400 Well, I got whacked by it, uh, driving out to Eastern Long Island on, um, what was it? Uh,

00:15:19.200 Wednesday night. And, uh, you know, the intensity of these storms, um, is obviously something and

00:15:28.440 people should pay attention to. And I'm, I'm not buying into the global warming is making the storms

00:15:34.180 worse. That's the corporate media. They're, they're telling you that. I mean, if you look at

00:15:40.320 the history, the worst hurricane in us history was 1900 in Galveston, Texas, correct? 10,000 people

00:15:49.420 died, 10,000. Um, and there wasn't, there aren't cars that, I mean, maybe it was the cow gas that did

00:15:57.220 it. I don't, I don't know. Um, but I think that people should pay attention, um, to the elements

00:16:05.600 and, you know, the people that say, Oh, I'm going to stay on a four Shea Island in Louisiana and I'm

00:16:10.920 not going to leave. Well, you're going to die. 0.96

00:16:13.740 You know, here's the, here's the problem. Um, this is, I believe a government created problem.

00:16:19.980 People didn't live in these dangerous places on the coast because the insurance, private insurance

00:16:27.120 was too expensive. And so you, and in some places they would not insure things and people raised

00:16:35.640 holy hell. And the progressive said the government should be the insurance policy for all of these

00:16:40.920 places. No, you should. I mean, new Orleans has had so much money poured into that city and

00:16:49.920 it's never spent cleanly and usually not even spent on things that would help that city

00:16:57.940 not go underwater all the time. There's only so much you can do.

00:17:03.620 They get a good job with the levies after Katrina. I think you have to give the government credit

00:17:09.080 for that. And the army corps is a good outfit. I mean, they can come in, but you're absolutely

00:17:15.220 right. When you say, if you're going to buy a house on the sand on the Gulf coast, it's

00:17:22.800 just when not if you're going to get it. And then if you're looking around for somebody to

00:17:27.800 bail you out, that's not really right. Yeah. I mean, I've been to Galveston. Galveston is

00:17:32.940 a really nice place. You know, I really like it. It's got some, it has some really cool things

00:17:37.460 to it, but you know, it says hurricane zone everywhere. And the last place I would buy a

00:17:46.000 place if I wasn't going to be bailed out by the federal government, uh, the last place I would

00:17:51.920 buy a place would be Galveston because I know it's going to get hit by a hurricane and then I'm going

00:17:56.940 to have to rebuild it. And it's beautiful and it's got some old, great buildings, but guys,

00:18:02.000 it's not the place to invest your money over and over and over again. Well, the last place I would

00:18:10.440 buy is Malibu and I'm not going to want my money to go to rebuild Barbara Streisand's house.

00:18:18.020 She lives in the woods in Malibu. The woods are going to burn down, Barbara.

00:18:25.880 Okay. And if they burn down, then I don't want to have to pay to rebuild your house.

00:18:31.400 Right. Because the woods are going to burn down. It's, it's, it's, it's insane. It's insane.

00:18:38.880 Every year it's the same story and it is the federal government's problem. Uh, they are the

00:18:46.360 ones who are causing much of this harm because of what the, of all of the bailouts and all of the

00:18:53.180 insurance. Go ahead. Yeah. We can't tell the people out. There should be zones that are designated high

00:18:58.640 risk. And then if you want to buy there, you're on your own. Yes. Friday, some Friday, not today,

00:19:04.060 but, uh, remind me to tell you how I saved Dick Van Dyke in Malibu in a fire. Oh, I got to hear

00:19:13.000 that story. Not today, but I do have to hear that story. Um, Bill reminds you, okay, Bill, let's go to

00:19:19.600 Texas. And what the president says is an all out assault on law and order, the heartbeat bill.

00:19:30.060 And the president will receive communion in a Roman Catholic church on Sunday. And I'll just

00:19:36.520 remind everybody how that is happening is just beyond me. I mean, you are a Catholic and you go

00:19:41.720 to church every Sunday. So, uh, you know, all I know is that the Roman Catholic church, one of the

00:19:50.720 most grievous sins, so bad that you're excommunicated is abortion. Yet every time I turn 0.99

00:19:59.380 around that Catholic guy, Joe Biden is saying, I want to make abortion easier. I want to have

00:20:06.600 abortion up to birth. You know, if you panic three hours before you're supposed to deliver,

00:20:13.200 you can kill the baby. This is Joe Biden. So I don't know. I mean, look, I'm a sinner. I'm not 1.00

00:20:20.780 judging anybody. I'm just a little confused about how the Roman Catholic church is dealing with Joe

00:20:26.760 Biden. I'm a little confused. Now let's get to the Texas law. So the law is really an interesting

00:20:32.920 situation because it doesn't provide criminal penalties for any physician who aborts a fetus

00:20:42.340 after a heartbeat is detected. That's, they did that on purpose because if they had,

00:20:48.700 then the Supreme court would have ruled that law unconstitutional. All right. Everybody should

00:20:54.360 understand that's where you start. So Texas is not saying we're putting doctors in jail. If they abort

00:21:00.280 after fetal heartbeat is detected, what they are saying is that anyone can sue the doctor in civil

00:21:08.420 court. If the physician does that. So rule of law and all this other business isn't really what the,

00:21:17.200 uh, the situation is all about. What this about is about it's state's rights.

00:21:22.860 That's what the five Supreme court justices rule. The Texas has a right to make laws that protect

00:21:32.820 the unborn, but it doesn't have a right to do it in a criminal way. It's a civil action,

00:21:43.000 right? It gives you standing to sue the doctor that does it. It's an interesting theory. I don't know.

00:21:50.100 So I don't, I don't know what kind of, uh, what kind of problems this, I don't think it's going to

00:21:56.340 stand, but I wonder what kind of problems if it did, uh, that could open the door for, uh, but I,

00:22:03.160 you know, it's a valiant effort. The, the, the, the thing to me is first of all, Jen Psaki,

00:22:09.280 do we have the audio of Jen Psaki, uh, just beating down a reporter, uh, that, that asked that,

00:22:15.860 that Catholic question of Joe Biden. Listen to this. Following up on the sexist law. Why does

00:22:20.900 the president support abortion when his own Catholic faith teaches abortion is morally wrong?

00:22:26.580 He believes that it's a woman's right. It's a woman's body and it's her choice.

00:22:30.700 Why does the president, who does he believe in should look out for the unborn child?

00:22:33.800 He believes that it's up to a woman to make those decisions, uh, and up to a woman to make 0.98

00:22:37.940 those decisions with her doctor. I know you've never faced those choices, nor have you ever been

00:22:41.980 pregnant, but for women out there who have faced those choices, this is an incredibly difficult

00:22:46.160 thing. President believes their rights should be respected. Go ahead. I think we got to move on.

00:22:50.840 I find this amazing, uh, because they were just arguing that men could be pregnant. And now,

00:22:58.120 of course, no, this is a woman's right to, this is an attack on a woman. What about all the men

00:23:04.940 that could get pregnant as well? And that's a serious question.

00:23:09.200 Yeah. I'm confused about the, uh, birthing person. Yeah. I was, I, I kind of don't really

00:23:16.720 understand that. I called my old high school biology teacher. How come you didn't present

00:23:23.140 this? Right. I, I, you know, a birthing person, we didn't have that. Anyway, this is the PC, uh,

00:23:32.700 woke culture that Jen Psaki embraces, uh, in a very enthusiastic way. So you don't, you dare ask

00:23:41.340 the question about abortion. If you are not a female or a birthing person, um, do you have to

00:23:47.980 get a license to be a birthing person? How does that, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

00:23:52.560 I don't know. That's my birth certificate. It said male, but if something slash birthing person,

00:23:59.960 if something is alive and coming out of me as a man, I would call maybe at least police officers

00:24:07.020 or an army special, somebody just, you should have more people in the room than just a doctor.

00:24:12.540 Cause I have no idea what's coming out of me. Um, let me change it back, back, back. I saw that in

00:24:18.280 alien. I know. I know. I know. I saw some alien came right out. I know. That's why I say you need

00:24:25.780 to have military. Let me, uh, let me change the subject to Joe Biden. He is, uh, he is now giving

00:24:32.640 a press conference as we speak on, uh, the Delta variants and how the Delta variants are a drag on

00:24:40.700 our economy. And the only reason why we haven't added more jobs, the jobs report for August has just

00:24:47.960 come out and it is abysmal. Uh, they were expecting almost a three quarters of a million

00:24:53.900 got about a quarter of a million. He is again, coming out and saying, I've added more jobs in my

00:24:59.860 first, uh, my first quarter of presidency than any other president. That's, that's like that. That's

00:25:06.780 like the white star line, uh, saying, you know what? Yeah, but we also, the Carpathia showed up

00:25:15.080 and we also saved more people. Your ship went down and also, of course he did. The entire economy

00:25:23.760 was turned off. His baseline is April, 2020 at the height of the shutdown in the pandemic. That's

00:25:33.440 his baseline for adding jobs. So, I mean, it would be like, um, Hey, uh, I had the highest batting average

00:25:43.000 in major league history because I was hitting zero, zero, zero, but I got one hit my first three

00:25:50.860 and I raised my batting average 333 points. Right. It's same con. Yeah. But the people are so

00:25:59.340 distracted, so exhausted. I do believe people are exhausted. No matter what you say. And then of

00:26:06.880 course, the media, the corrupt media at all, yeah, that's right. Joe Biden, he's a big.

00:26:12.720 And, and the final thing is most of the people who would take the jobs aren't still not looking

00:26:19.860 because they're still on the gravy train. Well, he is just saying, I'm watching, listening to you and

00:26:24.980 I'm watching the, uh, text of his remarks and he's just saying one of the problems is, you know,

00:26:30.880 employers are not willing to pay enough money and, you know, they got to cough up more money.

00:26:36.540 I pay more than them. I pay you not to work and they won't top it. They won't top it.

00:26:43.760 Oh, I know. I mean, but this is what socialism is, but do you, Beck, let me ask you a serious

00:26:49.220 question here. Okay. Do you think that right now is Joe Biden addresses the nation that he knows

00:26:56.160 what he's talking about? No, but I don't know if he's ever known what he was talking about.

00:27:02.100 It's just worse now because you've added senility to it. So, uh, Bill O'Reilly from Bill O'Reilly.com

00:27:09.040 killing the mob is his latest book that is out. If you haven't subscribed to Bill O'Reilly.com,

00:27:15.040 I urge you to do that. Don't, don't say I miss him on TV. You can see the no spins. You see it.

00:27:21.600 You see it. All you have to do is join him. You know what? Bill O'Reilly.com. I don't know,

00:27:26.800 but that was a good interruption. That helped. I, you were very, very kind to promote Bill O'Reilly.com,

00:27:34.340 but I have to add one more thing that I don't think you understand. I am better looking now than I was

00:27:41.720 on the Fox news channel. Wow. And that is just more incentive. And you are, you are calling Joe Biden

00:27:49.740 senile and out of touch. Uh, Bill, thank you so much. God bless you. Thank you very much.

00:27:58.900 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:28:11.660 Welcome to the program, Larry. How are you? Glenn, I'm good. Thank you for having me. Holy cow. I have

00:28:15.940 never seen, uh, anything quite like it. Here is the most progressive state, uh, who claims that they

00:28:22.260 want equality for all and they care about the plight of the black man, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And 0.71

00:28:26.940 they want to break all the barriers, but my gosh, not if you're Larry Elder. That's right. Just in the

00:28:34.440 last week, I think it's Glenn, I've been called, let's see a gun toting, uh, non-tax paying women 1.00

00:28:40.180 hating black face of the white supremacy. That's exactly what the LA times headline was. That's 0.98

00:28:46.620 the, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. That's the LA times. LA times headline verbatim, Glenn. I

00:28:51.840 kid you not. Larry Elder is the black face of white supremacy sub headline. You've been warned. End of 0.99

00:28:58.640 quote. Oh my gosh. And God forbid somebody like Larry Elder should support choice in education,

00:29:06.100 which black and brown parents want, according to polls. God forbid Larry Elder should oppose state

00:29:11.840 mandated, um, vaccines and mask wearing for state workers, uh, which the polls suggest that state

00:29:17.600 workers oppose. God forbid Larry Elder should do something about the outrageous cost of living.

00:29:22.300 We just hit $800,000 average price of a home here in California, Glenn. That is anywhere from 150%

00:29:28.520 above the national average to 250% above the national average, depending upon which study you read.

00:29:34.540 God forbid Larry Elder should want to do something about the outrageous rise in homelessness. Again,

00:29:39.860 depending upon who you read, we have anywhere from 25% of the nation's homeless to 50% of the

00:29:44.900 nation's homeless. And God forbid Larry Elder should want to do something about the fact that for the

00:29:48.980 very first time in our state's 170 year history, Glenn, people are leaving, businesses are leaving

00:29:54.920 in droves. So that makes me quote the black face of white supremacy. End of quote. Um, Larry, 0.93

00:30:00.400 I'm, I'm, I'm getting mixed signals. Uh, I know that Soros has stepped up and put another $500,000

00:30:07.860 behind, uh, Gavin Newsom. Uh, he did that this week, which that seems like a panic move to me. And then

00:30:15.740 today I read not a chance, not a chance. The polls are crazy. It's run away for Gavin Newsom.

00:30:24.120 Yeah. George Soros has put a great deal of money into the coffers of my opponent. Speaking of George

00:30:29.020 Soros, he's responsible for that soft on crime DA that we have here called George Gascon, who's also

00:30:34.680 facing a recall election, a bunch of victims of crimes. Uh, and I had a press conference yesterday

00:30:39.920 talking about all these people that should not have been let out, uh, by Gavin, by, uh, by George

00:30:44.960 Gascon, who got his first job as chief of police from a guy named Gavin Newsom. And Gavin Newsom was the

00:30:51.940 mayor of San Francisco and then supported his candidacy when he became, when this guy ran for

00:30:56.280 DA of Los Angeles. Uh, but they're scared to death, Glenn. They've raised a minimum of $50 million,

00:31:01.880 probably closer to $75 million from the usual suspects, the teachers union, the public sector

00:31:07.560 unions, Hollywood and big tech. I'm probably going to be outspent by a factor of almost 10 to one.

00:31:13.040 And they're panicking over another big factor that few people are talking about, Glenn.

00:31:16.900 When I become governor, not if, but when I become governor, notice that you haven't seen

00:31:21.920 Dianne Feinstein in weeks, if not months. I'm told she's in worse shape than Joe Biden. 0.97

00:31:27.640 God forbid something should happen to Dianne Feinstein. Elder will replace her with a Republican 1.00

00:31:32.740 senator. And that upsets the entire balance 50-50 that we have right now in the Senate in Washington.

00:31:38.320 And they are scared to death. I have to tell you, Larry, I have thought about that. We've talked

00:31:42.680 about it on the air here. I really believe if you are elected, when you are elected governor

00:31:48.160 of California, this is a game changer and could be one of the major points of saving the nation.

00:31:58.000 Sincerely. I believe that. And what's going to happen here? Registered Democrats outnumber

00:32:03.880 registered Republicans a little bit more than two to one. I'm going to change the image of the

00:32:08.140 Republican Party. I'm common sense. You know me, Glenn. I do. I'm low tax, low regulation,

00:32:13.580 going to do something about the homeless problem, going to give parents choice in education so they

00:32:17.160 don't send their kid to a school where only 75 percent of black kids can read at state levels 0.97

00:32:22.800 of proficiency. And those levels are low. The math scores are even worse. 80 percent of the kids 0.74

00:32:27.580 educated in our government schools are black and brown. And once they see some sort of improvement,

00:32:32.180 the image of the Republican Party in California and all over the country is going to improve.

00:32:36.760 And that's what they're definitely afraid of. I'm from the inner city. I went to a public high

00:32:41.100 school. I wasn't born on third base and thought I hit a triple like my opponent. And I'm going to

00:32:45.720 change the entire image of the Republican Party in California. And dare I say, the entire image of

00:32:50.300 the Republican Party in the nation and a whole bunch of people who are now Democrats are going to

00:32:54.280 rethink their allegiance to that party. So, Larry, have the voting public in California,

00:33:03.600 do they have that short of a memory that this isn't a runaway for you when it comes to Gavin Newsom?

00:33:10.060 I mean, his his low point had to be going out, you know, and what was it, having a thousand dollar

00:33:15.080 a plate dinner or whatever without a mask? Have they forgotten that he thinks he's king?

00:33:21.160 Well, and that's my job to remind them of it. And that's why I need more money, because if you come

00:33:25.720 on the TV out here in California, every other ad is Gavin Newsom. He's facing a recall election by the

00:33:31.140 Republican takeover. And I need to remind people, you're quite right. He sat up there at the French 0.96

00:33:35.720 Laundry restaurant, incurring a wine tab, just a wine tab, $12,000, sitting up there with the very

00:33:42.760 people who passed the mandates that they were violating by not wearing masks and by not engaging

00:33:47.120 in social distancing. Had his own kids enjoying in-person private education, mandating that you

00:33:52.020 wear masks outdoors while his own kids at summer camp were outdoors not wearing masks. It's the

00:33:57.000 arrogance that angered people. And it's my job to remind them of all that.

00:34:01.500 Larry, I just want to, before we continue on, give me your address of where people can

00:34:07.260 join your campaign and help finance your campaign.

00:34:10.340 They can go to electelder.com, electelder.com. And by the way, we have a voter integrity project,

00:34:15.840 a bunch of lawyers all ready to go to file lawsuits in a timely fashion. If you see or hear anything

00:34:20.940 that you think is irregular, any kind of shenanigans, go to my website, electelder.com.

00:34:25.560 There's also a volunteer button. So I really do need the help. And by the way,

00:34:30.140 we have a recall committee, Glenn, which you can put an unlimited amount of money. I know you have

00:34:33.980 a bunch of millionaires and billionaires who listen to your show. Let them know that they can spend

00:34:38.260 an unlimited amount of money to help me make this somewhat of a fair fight.

00:34:43.000 By the way, the Dominion software is being used. Concerning?

00:34:48.000 Very concerning. Not only that, Glenn, you can print your own ballot now. You can contact the

00:34:52.620 Secretary of State and literally print your own ballot. What could possibly go wrong?

00:34:58.080 Jeez.

00:35:01.900 So, how are you, what are you putting into place to try to make sure that this is fair at all?

00:35:12.500 Well, again, we have a bunch of lawyers all ready to go to file lawsuits. We've already filed

00:35:17.960 some actions because of some irregularities that we've seen, but they are going to cheat. We know

00:35:23.100 what happened in the 2020 election. They are going to cheat. But I think so many people are angry.

00:35:27.520 They're going to be outvoted, even though they're going to be cheating. Nearly one quarter of the

00:35:31.600 people that signed the petition to recall this man voted for him just two years earlier. 65% of Hispanics

00:35:36.900 voted for him. And they're the largest group here in California. Now, the majority of Hispanics want him

00:35:41.420 out. They're angry about the quality of education. They're not putting the best teachers, the best

00:35:45.100 principals, the best administrators into the inner city. They're putting them in the west side.

00:35:49.080 They're putting them in the valley. And so Hispanics and blacks know that they are being 1.00

00:35:52.120 disproportionately negatively impacted by the teachers union, the largest and most powerful

00:35:57.420 union here in California that desperately opposes school choice because the teachers were not

00:36:02.020 automatic union members, and they don't get those automatic dues. Plus, the crime has gone up.

00:36:06.680 And the people who are disproportionately victimized by the crime are black and brown people that the

00:36:11.400 left pride to self on caring about and the cost of living. When people leave, making between 50

00:36:16.020 and 100 K here in California, the number one reason they cycle is they cannot afford the price of a

00:36:21.540 home. So all of those things are disproportionately negatively impacting Hispanics. Again, the largest

00:36:26.860 group here in California, and they've now turned against Gavin Newsom. So again, it's my job to remind

00:36:31.720 them of all that, and I need the money. So go to electelder.com. On the replacement side,

00:36:36.580 Glenn, I have a huge lead over my rivals. I'm not worried about that part. But 50% plus one voter

00:36:42.040 has the first vote to recall Gavin Newsom. And then the second part is, who do you want to replace

00:36:46.660 him? On the replacement side, I'm far ahead of my rivals. I'm not worried about that. I want 50%

00:36:51.940 plus one Californian to vote to recall this man for all the reasons Glenn and I have been talking about.

00:36:56.680 The rise in the cost of living, the rise in homelessness, the outrageous way this

00:37:00.940 man ignored science, shut down schools, shut down businesses, while shutting down churches,

00:37:05.920 while keeping liquor stores and marijuana dispensaries open as essential businesses.

00:37:10.340 It's outrageous. A third of all small businesses are now gone forever here in California.

00:37:16.260 Larry, we know the Republicans couldn't have done this by themselves. You needed

00:37:19.540 independents and Democrats to make this recall even a possibility. And now the governor is trying

00:37:26.140 to make it seem like to the moderate, to the conservative-leaning Democrat, that you're scary.

00:37:34.060 You're not California values. You're going to shut down all of their rights and all these things.

00:37:38.940 What do you say to a moderate voter who is worried you're going to be way too conservative and out of

00:37:44.880 step with California? Well, the main driver of that is what I've said about mask mandates and

00:37:50.860 vaccine mandates. I have not anti-vax, contrary to an ad that Gavin Newsom put out. I've been

00:37:57.260 vaccinated. I'm in a high-risk category because of my age, because of another underlying comorbidity.

00:38:02.500 But I don't believe you should be mandating these kinds of things. And to the extent that we have

00:38:07.420 mandates for state workers that we do right now, a state worker who's not been vaccinated has to be

00:38:13.060 tested once a week, and he or she has to wear a face mask at work. When I become governor,

00:38:17.820 that mandate will be repealed. But as for cities and local districts and local schools and the

00:38:24.000 private sector, they're going to make their own decisions. So calm down. Larry Elder is not

00:38:29.100 anti-vax. I think that vaccines are fine for people in certain categories, but other people

00:38:34.100 have made a very different decision. Isn't that what freedom is all about? Why is that scary?

00:38:38.440 And I've been asked about Roe v. Wade. Is it that has anything to do with why I'm running for

00:38:43.040 governor? But if and when Roe v. Wade is overturned, and I believe that it ought to be overturned,

00:38:48.360 I'm pro-life. Nothing's going to happen in a pro-choice state like California, for crying out

00:38:52.320 loud. Two-thirds of the lawmakers in Sacramento are Democrats. They're all pro-choice. There's

00:38:57.320 nothing that suggests if and when Roe v. Wade is reverted back to the states where it should be,

00:39:01.560 that all of a sudden the Democrats are suddenly going to become pro-life. So calm down. I've also

00:39:06.300 been attacked for saying that there shouldn't be a minimum wage. Do I think people should work for

00:39:10.000 free? Do I think they will work for free? Drive around the city, see all these help wanted signs.

00:39:14.400 It's ridiculous. I'm running on crime. I'm running on homelessness. I'm running on the outrageous cost

00:39:19.140 of living. I'm running on the fact that this guy shut the state down while ignoring science,

00:39:24.120 while not abiding by the very rules and mandates he put down the throats of everybody else. I'm

00:39:28.200 running on the poor force management. I'm running on the fact that we're having energy brownouts.

00:39:32.380 That's what I'm running on.

00:39:33.320 Larry, when is the vote?

00:39:36.600 Well, people can start voting now. The actual vote is September the 14th. But about 20% or so

00:39:43.900 of people, based upon our surveys, have already voted. 80% of people are still making up their

00:39:48.220 minds. So go to electelder.com and throw something in the tip jar. And for those of you out here in

00:39:54.080 California, vote now. Vote now. And if you don't trust the mail, you can track your ballot, and you

00:39:59.320 can also drop it off at a voting center if you don't believe that the mail is reliable. But vote

00:40:04.280 now. Vote right now.

00:40:06.220 Thank you so much, Larry. Let us know anything we can do to help. I really, truly believe you

00:40:11.140 getting control of California is a life-saving game-changer.

00:40:17.960 Well, Glenn, thank you for that. You didn't say anything about how raspy my voice sounds. One woman

00:40:21.560 said, I sound like Shaggy, the rapper. And she said it was sexy. I didn't get any love from you on my

00:40:27.700 voice. Well, you're sexy always, no matter what you sound like. Thanks, Larry. I appreciate

00:40:32.600 it. I'll take that. God bless.

00:40:33.760 Na, na, na, na.
