00:00:00.000 A safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors making sure my car doesn't get stolen.
00:00:05.000 It means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars.
00:00:09.000 And it means there's no need to worry when I play at the park.
00:00:12.000 We're making every corner of Ontario safer to make all of Ontario safer.
00:00:17.000 That's how we protect Ontario.
00:00:19.000 For all of us.
00:00:21.000 Learn how at Ontario.ca slash SaferOntario. Paid for by the Government of Ontario.
00:00:30.000 There is another Islamic terrorist attack.
00:00:32.120 This time it happened in Switzerland, but you're probably not going to hear it.
00:00:36.060 Of course not.
00:00:36.980 It was an Islamic terror attack, so they covered that up.
00:00:39.640 There's a really important detail that was in the first story that I read.
00:00:43.100 The guy, Islamic terrorist, screaming Allah Akbar, but also claimed to be Jesus. 0.99
00:00:50.200 Okay, that says the guy is insane. 0.99
00:00:52.140 Or does it?
00:00:53.280 What does that actually tell you?
00:00:55.320 Something you'll never hear from anybody else will give you the perspective on that.
00:01:00.460 It's really important.
00:01:01.480 Also, Dave Rubin is with us.
00:01:03.040 What happens after Ron DeSantis leaves?
00:01:05.440 What happens after Donald Trump leaves office? 0.64
00:01:08.840 Also, the Republican who is running for governor in Maine, who's getting hammered by some of the Susan Collins type in Maine.
00:01:20.820 He's not really a Republican.
00:01:22.340 Really? Do you know what a Republican is?
00:01:23.980 um had a great conversation with him i think you're really going to enjoy and in the long
00:01:28.580 form a message you have to hear about what is coming our way economically this is the edited
00:01:35.240 version this is the best of version and it happens right now let me tell you uh our sponsor is the
00:01:43.240 burner launcher there are a lot of products out there that can claim to give you peace of mind
00:01:47.060 most of them basically are just expensive versions of you know crossing your fingers
00:01:51.140 but the burner launcher is different and right now they are offering a special the latest
00:01:56.900 generation burner launcher for a hundred dollars off which makes it a really good time to look
00:02:00.760 into something that could actually help you protect yourself and your family because the
00:02:05.180 reality is many people don't want to carry a gun or they can't because they live in some
00:02:10.460 godforsaken place like california they want an option that gives them a way to defend themselves
00:02:15.220 without having to make a lethal decision in a moment of panic and that's where the burner launcher
00:02:19.120 comes in. It fires powerful kinetic chemical irritant projectiles that can help stop a threat
00:02:24.620 from a safe distance, giving you time to escape and get help. And it's legal in all 50 states.

00:02:50.780 Hello, America. 0.99
00:02:52.040 You know we've been fighting every single day.
00:02:53.860 We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:03:00.140 We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:03:05.060 But to keep this fight going, we need you.
00:03:07.520 Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:03:10.880 Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm.
00:03:17.320 to reach more americans who need to hear the truth this isn't a podcast this is a movement
00:03:22.580 and you're part of it a big part of it so if you believe in what we're doing you want more people
00:03:27.000 to wake up help us push this podcast to the top rate review share together we'll make a difference
00:03:33.300 and thanks for standing with us now let's get to work
00:03:35.960 you're listening to
00:03:46.460 I am just not going to be able to do justice to a piece of history that I think is really important.
00:03:56.660 It kind of ties into what we've been talking about, about how everything is changing and the weaponization of government and how government is using algorithms, etc., etc.
00:04:05.640 I want to save that until tomorrow because it's really, really important that I can spend the time to do it right.
00:04:14.400 And I'm already seeing the stories that are just stacking up on top of us.
00:04:18.900 Jason was just talking to the insiders about, you know, the, the movie, uh, from steel and
00:04:24.880 Steven Spielberg.
00:04:25.560 And he said, he's starting to believe that this whole thing is just a psyop.
00:04:29.120 And I think it is.
00:04:30.060 I think it, I mean, let's be the most reasonable people.
00:04:33.980 Steven Spielberg read the room, saw what was happening, saw a great script come through
00:04:38.540 and went, Oh, this will be a blockbuster.
00:04:40.140 Cause everybody's thinking about UFOs right now.
00:04:42.820 And so let me do this.
00:04:44.400 Um, and I think that's the most reasonable thing that the thing, you know, him being involved with
00:04:50.400 the CIA, it's possible as I showed you just a little while ago. Um, Steven Spielberg has done
00:04:55.400 government propaganda stuff, you know, over and over and over again, he has helped, uh, you know,
00:05:01.420 do things that he thought were the right things for America. And so he has been involved with
00:05:07.380 things like this, but there are so many stories stacking up. Jason, you were just talking about
00:05:12.660 the story of the cia using dna from uh ancestry and 23andme to quote search for alien life
00:05:23.880 what the hell is that story i i had this picked a while back as something to do like on a friday
00:05:30.460 but now i feel like all of these i don't i i 100 now believe this is a psyop and i feel like the
00:05:36.620 people that were looking at these topics before were always you know pointing fingers at the cia
00:05:41.200 saying they were they were the bad guys you know they're the ones that are hiding all this
00:05:45.180 information from us we need full disclosure but now we get disclosures like what you were just
00:05:49.680 talking about that the cia was using 23andme and ancestry.com allegedly to find if all the humans
00:05:56.640 that had extraterrestrial dna i at some point you got to take a take a step back i believe
00:06:03.960 yeah i think you do have to back away from the cliff just a little bit go wait a minute wait a
00:06:10.400 it what um and then the cia the psychic spies tell that story yeah that that was so that was
00:06:18.660 supposedly the source that uh so this source approached this uh this novelist who brought
00:06:25.480 this out in a podcast and brought it out into the mainstream media but it was supposedly a cia
00:06:30.460 psychic spy that got this information about the cia now if you're curious how this psychic spy
00:06:37.300 allegedly got this information it's it's it's a very common uh you know spy type scenario that
00:06:44.040 happens glenn so he was not ordering a martini shake and not stirred you know in eastern europe
00:06:50.320 somewhere he was in a diner supposedly where he was approached by three aliens and they were the
00:06:57.920 ones that let him know about this so obviously it's not a psyop i actually i didn't know that
00:07:03.540 he was approached by three aliens in a diner so i guess this all really is true
00:07:07.020 how many times has that happened to all of us right right so it is so much easier if you are
00:07:16.160 in charge of things for instance i i have this understanding and i this this is just my own
00:07:23.140 feeling i don't have anything to back this up but just see if this makes sense to you yeah if you're
00:07:28.320 a politician and i i got this from from being over in england in london and just standing there and
00:07:34.360 sensing what was happening and seeing how the elites can live in london and nothing is happening
00:07:38.880 really in london you have to be where the people live and you have to be in these places where
00:07:43.900 you know they've destroyed the factories and the working person and the farmers
00:07:48.140 so you can stand there and you go well nothing is really happening but if you're in those
00:07:53.280 neighborhoods if you're in those areas where the factories have been destroyed
00:07:57.060 and you see it everywhere you think now how can these politicians do this and think this is going
00:08:02.680 to work out well hear me out on this your policies have destroyed the country your policies have
00:08:11.020 destroyed the working class your policies have destroyed the factories without factories without
00:08:17.380 power you cannot survive as a country okay and you know that the people who are in these towns
00:08:24.240 are going to rise up soon okay because you've destroyed their way of life and now and now
00:08:32.480 you're destroying their country and they're all like going wait a minute i don't think you actually
00:08:36.420 serve our country anymore how do you how do you keep them down well you do you could do it now
00:08:42.920 this is me as a fiction writer writing this fiction one thing you could do is you could say
00:08:48.500 why don't we just import a lot of other people that are going to be a bigger problem from them
00:08:52.000 and we're going to place them in the towns that we have just destroyed we're going to put them
00:08:58.140 in these struggling town we're not going to put them around us we're not going to put them in
00:09:01.340 london we're going to put them in towns where the factories where the these people are not going to 0.95
00:09:06.020 work anywhere they're going to live off the system but we're going to put them next to the people
00:09:10.200 who are living in those towns and we're going to give them free stuff that we're not giving to the
00:09:16.500 factory worker who no longer has a job where you're struggling you're paying your taxes we're
00:09:21.880 going to give these people all kinds of stuff and oh by the way you know they're not going to be
00:09:27.420 compatible with that system at all they're not going to be compatible with the people that live
00:09:32.240 there etc etc you've now just you've now just given the people in those small towns something
00:09:40.140 to worry about that's bigger than you because it's in their face it's in their face now i think
00:09:47.140 this is backfiring on them because people are seeing wait a minute they're not paying their
00:09:52.500 taxes they're not doing anything um they're raping our children and the police are in on this
00:09:59.940 i don't think that they serve us at all but they've slowed things down and they've made it easy
00:10:06.860 to say oh see you're a bigot because they control all the power they control the media they control
00:10:13.420 the television they control everything that you see they control in many cases what you see online
00:10:19.240 and so it's easy then for the elites and those people who are living in the big cities to go
00:10:24.680 yeah it's just those hicks that live out there and notice that's what they're doing they're
00:10:29.680 mocking you all the, every step of the way that tell Rico, uh, uh, video or picture that just
00:10:36.500 came out. I'm going to talk about this top of the hour, but, um, let me show you this picture of him
00:10:41.680 eating a Turkey leg with a big Texas flag shirt on. He posted this and he's like ready to take
00:10:50.620 back Texas. He's eating a Turkey leg, wearing a big Texas flag shirt. Now, do you think this
00:10:58.160 california liberal has ever worn a texas flag shirt you think that's the way he goes out of
00:11:03.500 the house during the day technically he's born and raised in texas but you wouldn't know it you
00:11:07.140 wouldn't know it he's a californian he's a californian in spirit everything about him
00:11:11.120 screams california okay you think he actually goes out in that shirt and he's like hey buddies
00:11:16.720 what's going on eating a turkey leg i thought this guy was against meat
00:11:21.960 this he is in a way mocking you this is how they this is what the elites think of you when they
00:11:31.720 think of a texan that they've got to get in their their side they think yeah the you know ones who
00:11:37.140 wear the big texas flag shirts and eat turkey legs all the time they're mocking you
00:11:42.200 it's it's it's incredible to watch it's just incredible to watch tomorrow i'm going to do
00:11:50.780 something on history but i'm going to start with uh neville singham there's new audio out new video
00:11:56.740 out that fox has just exposed where he is at a big thing over in asia where he's talking about
00:12:04.020 how we need to change history you know capitalism is fascism and we've got to destroy it and it's
00:12:13.280 the capitalists and americans that were really responsible in the british that were responsible
00:12:18.060 for all the death in world war ii they were the bad guys now wait a minute i'm hearing this from 0.71
00:12:23.940 neville singham who is we know in league with the ccp where else have i heard that the west
00:12:30.960 and america and the american soldiers and uh and winston churchill and england were actually the 0.82
00:12:38.600 bad guys where else have i heard that what's happening here what the hell is happening here
00:12:47.760 meanwhile while we're arguing all of this stuff 0.54
00:12:53.000 we're arguing about who the real racist is let me give you a story about the jihad killing
00:13:00.540 this morning on a swiss train there's a guy who um uh goes to a train station he pulls out a knife
00:13:11.360 He starts stabbing people, and he's screaming, Allah Akbar, and I am Jesus Christ.
00:13:19.220 Now, here's where the media is going to spin this. 0.90
00:13:21.540 They're going to leave out the Allah Akbar, and they'll just say he was a crazy guy who thought he was Jesus. 0.69
00:13:27.140 That's what you're going to hear. 0.99
00:13:28.320 Crazy guy who thought he was Jesus starts stabbing people in Switzerland. 0.97
00:13:34.320 him okay how could a guy say Allah Akbar and claim that he's Jesus at the same time that 0.86
00:13:42.120 doesn't make any sense no it doesn't if you're a western if you have the western POV if if you
00:13:49.440 haven't if you don't know what Islamists actually believe then it makes no sense now I'm not saying
00:13:55.940 this guy isn't crazy I'm sure he's crazy okay he thinks he's Jesus and there's lots of crazy people
00:14:02.520 who think they're jesus but this guy thinks he's jesus and is screaming all akbar what how is that 0.84
00:14:09.760 possible well if you're a sunni or a shia radical if you're somebody and i can't even say radical
00:14:17.660 because it is it is so much a part of this faith right now they have the opposite understanding of
00:14:27.720 the Christian second coming. They have a different view of how the world is going to come to the end.
00:14:34.400 And in the traditional Islamic belief, Jesus doesn't come back. He's not the son of God.
00:14:39.640 He returns as a Muslim prophet, and he helps defeat the false messiah, the Dajjal. 0.99
00:14:49.100 and he confirms that the real faith is the islamic faith okay um and he corrects all of the false 0.91
00:14:59.180 worship and then he is also the enforcer of that so a guy who is crazy but believes all of the
00:15:06.840 islamic traditions and all of the islamic end of time stuff he believes he's the enforcer he's
00:15:13.900 coming back is Jesus Christ, who is the enforcer. Don't dismiss these things. Don't listen to the
00:15:22.680 media. They don't care about any of this stuff. If this were happening, I guarantee you, if this guy
00:15:28.560 were a Christian and thought he was Jesus Christ, this would be a story that would lead the press 0.95
00:15:33.600 in the world forever. But because he is an Islamist who also says he's Jesus Christ, they'll 0.98
00:15:41.160 just bury this story because either they don't know what that means or they don't want you to 0.99
00:15:47.860 know what that means. This is a very sick individual who also understands the coming of
00:15:56.320 the Mahadi, who knows that Jesus is going to be a prophet for Islam, at least in their belief, 0.97
00:16:05.680 and is going to come back into being the enforcer. So whether he actually thought he was Jesus or he 0.87
00:16:11.080 was just making the point to a bunch of people he thought were Christian, but if they're in Europe, 0.64
00:16:15.880 I can guarantee you odds are they're not Christian and is stabbing them and saying, I am Jesus Christ 0.85
00:16:22.640 Allah Akbar. This is not just some madman. Okay. And what is the media telling you about this? 0.99
00:16:31.300 Most likely nothing. What is the media telling you about the guy who walked into a Horton's
00:16:38.260 coffee shop, Tim Horton. It's like Denny's up in Canada. He had Dunkin' Donuts. He walks into
00:16:48.460 Tim Horton's, and it sounds like a joke. Guy walks into Tim Horton's for a cup of coffee and a donut
00:16:56.060 and ends up dead. This is state-approved death. Now, here's the story. 45-year-old man in Canada
00:17:04.420 suffered from Crohn's disease. I have that in my family. It is a horrible disease and depression.
00:17:10.360 They usually go hand in hand. He meets with a doctor outside a Tim Hortons. And that's where
00:17:17.400 this doctor evaluates him outside of the coffee shop and says, you know what? You're a candidate
00:17:23.720 for maid. I can have you killed by the end of the day. So the doctor texts him a euthanasia plan 1.00
00:17:31.740 and then personally drives him.
00:17:34.760 And this is the worst part of this story.
00:17:37.480 And this is the part that I have not heard the media talk about.
00:17:41.680 The doctor drives him personally to an industrial building
00:17:46.800 where cadavers are prepared for funerals,
00:17:50.520 walks him into a holding room at this industrial cadaver factory,
00:17:56.940 injects him with legal drugs end of life paperwork complete end of story
00:18:02.780 an industrial building to prepare cadavers for funerals and a doctor walks in puts him in a
00:18:11.600 holding room and kills him and is like i'm just cutting out the middle man we don't need to
00:18:14.680 bring you to the hospital we'll just bring you right to the cadaver factory oh my gosh
00:18:18.760 these are the stories these are the stories because it's not just the death it's the
00:18:26.000 collective shrug. 20 years ago, this story would have petrified the entire world. Now it's just
00:18:33.140 administrative. It's clinical. It's routine. That's it. That's how cultures change. While
00:18:38.480 we're talking about UFOs, they're not, they're not changing the culture with fireworks or marching
00:18:43.940 bands. It's just changing the culture one compromise at a time. That's how you do it.
00:18:51.280 let me tell you about relief factor it probably comes uh as a surprise you know that i've never
00:18:58.560 been a cage match fighter you know i've never i've never fought in a cage never uh i know i

00:19:57.100 the best of the glenbeck program dave how are you my friend glenn i'm fine i mean if you want me to
00:20:05.420 get a guy that can get you some propofol i have to make a couple calls but i think we can get a
00:20:09.560 ship to you somehow i think you have to administer it yourself but uh i'm sure you can't yeah i mean
00:20:16.380 i i kid you know see there have been nights that i've just been like propofol would be so good i
00:20:21.360 understand michael jackson i strangely i understand him um anyway uh how you doing dave it's good to
00:20:29.120 see you my friend uh you know i'm fine as every time i see you i think i say the same thing for
00:20:33.660 the last you know probably two plus years which is my life is good what happens in the in the four
00:20:38.720 walls of my home and with my family and and my colleagues and things like that is all good the
00:20:44.060 state of the world is just wacky and that's what people come to us for so i guess let's dissect it
00:20:49.900 i know i know the most important things we will ever do will be in the four walls of our homes
00:20:54.840 so it's all that really matters um so let me uh can i start with can i just be my nickname
00:21:03.440 years ago used to be oblivio because i'm oblivious to so much okay just oblivious to so much
00:21:10.360 um there is a tweet that uh came out of tal rico tal rico sorry tal rico uh in a in a texas flag
00:21:23.840 shirt eating a turkey leg first of all the guy is on record saying he's a vegan he doesn't like
00:21:30.940 meat he's eating a turkey i think this whole what i saw in this is here's a guy almost mocking
00:21:37.300 um uh texans you know this is what texans really look like so i'm going to pretend i'm one of them 0.97
00:21:44.280 um however ricky who is absolutely debased she is she's not a good human being she she comes in
00:21:53.740 uh and she's like this this is a this is appealing to let's say non-cisgendered uh voters and i'm 0.66
00:22:03.720 like what are you even talking about and she said your rumor is you know he says he has a 0.91
00:22:10.520 girlfriend yada yada i have no gaydar i think she's i think she's an abomination ricky i think 0.97
00:22:16.940 she's probably going to spend more time in hell than most of us and in a deep i've always liked 0.99
00:22:21.100 her, but okay. You know, what's your gaydar say on him? And what is there, is she, is she just 0.94
00:22:30.640 going to hell or does she have a point on this? You know, I must say this is very strange. I got
00:22:35.700 a text from Billy Bush, broadcaster Billy Bush yesterday, asking me about my gaydar on Tallarico.
00:22:42.300 If this is what the remainder of my career is going to be just figuring out who and who isn't
00:22:46.500 gay. Well, I have a very long career in politics, but I don't know that this is what I signed up 1.00
00:22:50.640 Look, I don't know if this guy is gay. 1.00
00:22:55.140 Look, there's obviously some weird stuff 0.86
00:22:56.840 when he tells you that Jesus is non-binary
00:22:59.680 and that there are six genders.
00:23:01.360 And yeah, there is a slight effeminate thing to him,
00:23:04.280 but you know, Glenn, look, there are effeminate guys
00:23:06.820 who are straight and there are straight acting guys
00:23:09.060 or masculine guys who are gay and all of those things.
00:23:11.300 So to me, that's not so important here.
00:23:13.160 I feel better about myself.
00:23:15.460 Yes, Glenn, as far, I've known you quite well
00:23:18.460 for many years at this point,
00:23:19.740 And I can confirm to the to the listeners that you are straight as far as I know.
00:23:25.460 No, no, no. I mean, I just I thought I feel better because I didn't think there was anything to this.
00:23:31.420 I didn't see it that way. And then Ricky comes in, you know, with I thought I thought this was I thought this was just a crazy ruse to get me to affirm your straightness.
00:23:39.440 But OK, in any event. No, no, no.
00:23:43.460 All right. Let me ask you. Yes. Let me ask. Let me ask you a couple of things.
00:23:47.460 there is a another thing that was put out um stephen miller he shows this picture of talarico
00:23:56.500 and he says democrats made history in texas by nominating their first transgender state
00:24:00.920 senate candidate okay funny okay but the response from the democrats the democratic party 0.99
00:24:07.740 was shut up you ugly f and i can see that coming from personalities i can see that i could see 0.96
00:24:16.600 donald trump even saying that this was the democratic party that tells me they believe 0.99
00:24:24.680 their constituent is a lot different than i think what most democrats think the other voters that
00:24:33.420 vote like them are yeah i think that's good much into that no because in this case you know look
00:24:39.200 we live in the world of the internet and social media and there's trolling back and forth and
00:24:43.300 Trump obviously says colorful things about people,
00:24:45.460 and we've all been through all those things.
00:24:47.240 But there is definitely a level
00:24:49.240 that now is being achieved by the Democrats
00:24:52.080 where they're constantly, if you note lately,
00:24:54.420 Democrats constantly on the stump speeches
00:24:57.640 are saying the F word.
00:24:59.220 They're doing this soft kind of, you know,
00:25:02.780 soft shoeing around violence where it's sort of okay
00:25:05.580 that Brian Thompson, the United Healthcare CEO,
00:25:08.120 was killed by Luigi Mangione, or, you know,
00:25:10.360 Charlemagne the God, I hate calling him that,
00:25:12.300 His real name is Lenny, the radio guy.
00:25:14.860 After the last assassination attempt on Trump,
00:25:17.640 basically said, well, I can understand
00:25:19.580 why people would do it.
00:25:20.780 So they really are changing all the norms.
00:25:23.340 And the crazy thing about the Tallarico situation
00:25:26.720 is you have to remember, his primary
00:25:29.080 was against Jasmine Crockett, 0.99
00:25:30.820 who was as bananas lefty as you could get.
00:25:33.880 And he said, hold my beer,
00:25:35.580 I'll show you what bananas lefty is.
00:25:37.800 In Texas, in Texas.
00:25:40.260 It would be one thing if this was happening
00:25:42.120 cali we would all be like okay they had a they had a kind of crazy lefty and they went a little
00:25:46.840 crazier yeah but it's really but glenn think about it this way this is what they do in their prime
00:25:51.560 in their primaries and then when you have a bad lefty you get a worse one think about chicago
00:25:55.480 they had lori lightfoot as bad lefty as you can get now they have brandon johnson their jasmine 0.95
00:26:00.920 crockett tallarico thing you had uh what's his name in uh you had garcetti who was a terrible
00:26:06.360 lefty in la then you got karen bass there are so many examples you had de blasio and then eric
00:26:11.800 rick adams in new york and now you end up with mom dami so for some reason and this is something
00:26:16.640 that uh our friend jordan peterson was talking about for years the left never knows when the
00:26:21.700 left goes too far so everyone's always trying to out crazy themselves and congratulations you've
00:26:26.800 now ended up with tallarico in texas in texas i know i know i know i know um let me let me switch
00:26:36.460 to uh desantis and to uh donald trump leaving um in this way in um in the bible in math i think
00:26:47.340 it's matthew book of matthew um jesus tells a story about you know somebody who chases an evil
00:26:53.480 spirit out um and uh and then the spirit goes out and it's wandering and it comes back and finds
00:27:02.380 that that guy hadn't replaced it hadn't cleaned he cleaned out his house but he hadn't replaced
00:27:07.920 it with anything and so it goes back in but this time it goes back in with seven more spirits worse
00:27:14.540 than the first spirit and i i feel like we've chased bad guys out but we're not necessarily
00:27:22.880 replacing them with anyone who are we going to replace desantis and and donald trump with what
00:27:30.740 happens when these guys leave because we could get seven more that are much worse than what we
00:27:38.500 chased out prior to yeah i mean the key to that is realizing that you have to have some kind of
00:27:44.440 plan of secession and no matter how good things may be in florida and you're a new floridian
00:27:48.800 resident you see how great things are i saw you a couple months ago and you were just beaming about
00:27:52.680 how much you love it here and there's reasons for that um look from a florida perspective you know
00:27:58.160 So in terms of the next governor, it likely, I would say there's probably about an 80%
00:28:02.340 chance that it's going to be Byron Donalds, who I've interviewed many times, I've hung
00:28:06.520 out with him.
00:28:07.520 I think he's a good guy.
00:28:08.520 He's done a nice job in Southwest Florida, Naples area as a congressman.
00:28:11.600 I think he's really good on television, and I think he will likely continue much of the
00:28:16.840 DeSantis agenda.
00:28:18.220 It's probably him.
00:28:19.220 It might be another great guy.
00:28:20.640 We have Jay Collins, who's former military vet, who is the lieutenant governor right
00:28:24.560 who I think would be completely in line with DeSantis.
00:28:28.660 He has a much more uphill battle
00:28:29.900 because Byron Donalds just has great name recognition
00:28:32.740 and he's all over the media all the time.
00:28:33.960 But Florida, also keep in mind,
00:28:35.740 Florida got 2.3 million residents since COVID
00:28:38.380 and we've now seen the numbers.
00:28:39.940 I mean, they are voting red, red, red.
00:28:42.480 When DeSantis took over,
00:28:43.720 I think there were a couple hundred thousand more Democrats
00:28:46.680 than Republicans in Florida
00:28:48.480 and now it's over a million more Republicans.
00:28:50.420 So Florida, I think for the next,
00:28:53.320 let's say five, six plus years, I think we'll be just fine.
00:28:56.520 On the national stage, look, the Republicans,
00:28:58.960 I think Trump's gonna want a contested convention.
00:29:01.320 I don't think they're just gonna hand this to JD
00:29:03.660 in a conventional way.
00:29:04.900 I think, obviously, almost everyone right now
00:29:07.760 is high on Rubio.
00:29:08.960 So you have competent people, you've got Rubio,
00:29:11.340 you've got JD, maybe DeSantis gets involved again.
00:29:15.000 Who knows, could Hegseth throw his name?
00:29:16.940 I mean, there's enough people there
00:29:18.720 that whether you agree with all of them,
00:29:20.380 or maybe you like this one on this and that one on that,
00:29:22.780 There's enough people that I think most of us
00:29:24.620 who are right-leaning would say,
00:29:26.020 hey, this is a good crop of people
00:29:27.920 and let them fight it out.
00:29:29.560 And I think that's what Trump's gonna want.
00:29:31.520 I think he's gonna want a show to hand over his legacy.
00:29:34.360 Maybe Jr. gets involved.
00:29:35.620 I mean, who knows?
00:29:37.620 I think Tulsi Gabbard is a name
00:29:39.220 that you should throw in that.
00:29:40.600 I think Tulsi Gabbard is-
00:29:41.560 Absolutely, absolutely.
00:29:43.200 You know, obviously her husband's dealing
00:29:44.600 with some health stuff right now,
00:29:45.560 so they have to see how that shakes out.
00:29:47.700 But you know, Tulsi, this is someone
00:29:49.940 who was a Democrat Congresswoman,
00:29:52.040 who ran for president as a Democrat, you know, me and her, we have a sort of familiar
00:29:58.100 kind of roadway to becoming Republicans, let's say. She's really, she's well-liked,
00:30:04.920 you know, and there's going to be different factions in the Republican Party and they're
00:30:07.840 going to fight it out. So where does this end? You know, Dave, you and I have talked several
00:30:14.640 times the the right is just dividing itself gotta stop dividing ourselves um but it's just dividing
00:30:22.720 itself and this is breaking up and how does this end what do what will bring us all back together
00:30:29.060 is that possible well yeah i mean you know unfortunately the way the world works or
00:30:35.260 humanity works generally the things at this point that could probably bring us together are real
00:30:39.880 tragedies and horrible events.
00:30:42.540 So let's pause on that for a second.
00:30:45.860 In terms of the division, if you look at Trump's last 118 endorsements, as I'm sure you know,
00:30:53.180 he's won all 118 of them.
00:30:56.280 Now some of them were easy primaries and whatever, but this is gubernatorial, this is Senate,
00:30:59.980 and this is the House.
00:31:01.200 So the idea that Trump, that MAGA is seriously divided, I think it plays well online and
00:31:06.720 I'm not sure how much actual traction it gets.
00:31:09.780 Glenn, even some of the guys that you and I
00:31:11.720 used to be close colleagues with
00:31:13.980 that have gone in this other direction
00:31:15.520 that are attacking Trump constantly
00:31:17.320 and going after him on the war
00:31:19.320 and Epstein and stuff and all this stuff,
00:31:21.020 their numbers are not doing great right now.
00:31:23.060 I don't think numbers are the ultimate arbiter.
00:31:25.000 I think truth is the ultimate arbiter.
00:31:26.800 But I don't sense that things are as divided as they think.
00:31:30.340 Even if you look at the Massey race,
00:31:31.840 which was the most contested,
00:31:33.780 Trump's backed candidate, Ed Galleran, won,
00:31:36.480 and won by a lot.
00:31:37.700 And it would have been an aberration had Massey won
00:31:40.260 after going against Trump.
00:31:41.360 So Trump still has control of the party.
00:31:43.860 There's gonna be fighting online for sure.
00:31:46.320 And maybe we need to make better arguments
00:31:48.540 about certain things.
00:31:50.140 I think that's possible. 0.59
00:31:51.980 But I also think that the real white pill right now
00:31:54.740 is that the Democrats are so out of control,
00:31:56.540 partly from what you just showed before with the language,
00:31:59.060 but also the, you know, Mamdami talking about asset,
00:32:02.040 seizure, the crazy race in LA
00:32:04.420 where people are realizing how bad Karen Bass is,
00:32:06.880 that as we roll towards the midterms,
00:32:09.460 you know, after our 250th anniversary,
00:32:11.840 the Iran war will wrap up one way or another,
00:32:14.020 gas prices will go down,
00:32:15.620 that I think people will be feeling, boy,
00:32:18.060 all right, maybe there's some things
00:32:19.160 that I didn't like about Trump
00:32:20.220 or I wasn't thrilled with the war
00:32:21.380 or this or that or the other thing,
00:32:22.540 but I'm not going full communist,
00:32:24.140 and that's what they're offering at this point.
00:32:26.020 And Americans are not communists.
00:32:27.580 Americans are not communists.
00:32:30.100 Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully.
00:32:32.480 For now.
00:32:33.480 You're streaming the best of Glenn Beck.
00:32:35.500 To hear more of this interview and others, download the full show podcasts wherever you get podcasts.
00:32:40.760 So we're living in a weird time.
00:32:42.940 We're living in a weird time.
00:32:44.260 Here is a quote from a Republican that is running for governor in Maine.
00:32:48.940 America was built on the foundation that no king, no religion, no foreign law can override the Constitution.
00:32:53.800 Let me be clear. 0.95
00:32:54.580 Sharia law has no place in Maine's courtrooms, our schools, nor our government. 0.98
00:32:58.520 Not now, not ever. 0.98
00:32:59.860 We've seen what happens when Sharia takes hold. 1.00
00:33:01.740 Women are banned from leaving their homes without male permission.
00:33:04.080 Girls are pulled from schools, denied education.
00:33:06.460 Victims of assault are punished rather than protected.
00:33:08.800 These are not ancient relics.
00:33:10.160 This is happening right now in countries all around the world.
00:33:12.880 Here at home, we've seen the attempts to lay groundwork in Texas.
00:33:15.800 Planners push a vision for Epic City, a self-governing Islamic enclave designed to operate outside
00:33:22.100 America law. 0.99
00:33:23.200 Every person in this state of Maine, regardless of their faith, deserves to live under the
00:33:26.620 same set of laws, one standard, the Constitution, equal protection for every man and woman.
00:33:30.560 as governor of maine i will always put our constitutional values first religious freedom
00:33:35.020 means the right to worship as you choose it does not mean replacing american law with a foreign
00:33:39.800 legal system maine families deserve a governor who will stand up and say what others are afraid
00:33:44.280 to say i am that candidate our laws our values the constitution get out and vote june 9th that
00:33:51.320 is the guy who's running for governor of maine named bobby charles and at the same time people
00:33:56.820 are being asked to vote where you've got the democrat running for the senate he said quote
00:34:03.640 what nazi tattoo whoops that that was a nazi symbol i didn't know that i mean this is the
00:34:10.760 strangest time i've ever i've ever seen in the united states bobby charles running for governor
00:34:15.380 of maine joins me now hey bobby how are you it's a pleasure it's truly a privilege glenn i listen
00:34:21.460 to you all the time on the radio and i i realized nope i'm gonna have to get in a suit and tie
00:34:25.680 because i'm really up here on television with him well it's good to it's good to have you so um
00:34:32.320 how are how are things in maine because i don't know what the hell happened to maine at one point
00:34:37.340 maine was well let me ask you this was it stephen king living there is that what happened
00:34:41.820 it just got yeah i think i think we're seeing remnants of the shining everywhere now
00:34:46.540 yeah i i i will tell you glenn we i grew up in this state and we were norman rockwell's america
00:34:52.840 We were World War II values.
00:34:55.060 You know, that's what we were.
00:34:56.260 I grew up working from the age of 12.
00:34:58.580 Everything about this state was more or less wholesome.
00:35:01.960 And now we've got the highest property taxes in the country with one of the lowest per capita incomes.
00:35:07.120 We've got high income taxes.
00:35:08.620 We've got drug traffickers everywhere, 8,000 overdoses.
00:35:12.060 We've got the highest energy costs, the highest jump last year, 36%, because they pushed all this solar and wind crap everywhere.
00:35:19.520 our schools schools and this is a shocker our schools were actually at the top of the nation
00:35:24.740 in the mid-90s and at the end of the McKernan administration and they are now number 50 according
00:35:29.920 to U.S. News and World Report and they're shot through and then the last point that I just have
00:35:35.340 to leave you with because it'll resonate with you and particularly since what you just read 0.72
00:35:39.040 we are like a mini Minnesota for fraud we have it's not just Somali fraud and it is Somali fraud
00:35:45.400 but it's everywhere in this state. We have a state that in general, the average Mainer cannot 0.98
00:35:51.020 trust. And that really three years ago is part of what got me off the couch and said, you know,
00:35:56.220 Bobby, you can sit around here and carp and listen to Glenn Beck about what all good people should
00:36:00.120 go out and do, or you can go out and do it. And I really do believe good people have to act. You
00:36:05.700 know, what did Edmund Burke say? All it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing.
00:36:10.620 and I'm just not going to be that person. So what's your background? Why are you qualified
00:36:16.280 for this? Yeah, so it's an interesting background. I do truly believe, even as you and I sit here
00:36:21.960 today and people listen and watch, I believe that God puts us where we are meant to be, all of us,
00:36:28.040 that just at this very moment, this is where we are meant to be. And my life experience was growing
00:36:34.580 up working for world war ii vets uh through 17 18 my father never went to college he was enlisted
00:36:41.140 navy i ended up my mom was a school teacher who for a lot of the time raised the four of us
00:36:46.240 and she just said you got to go out and get an education bobby we had no money zip we had no
00:36:51.080 electric heat we we chopped wood to be able to heat the house but um right you know on a wish
00:36:57.480 and a prayer i ended up at dartmouth oxford university studying in economics columbia law
00:37:02.540 school. The Reagan White House clerked for a U.S. Court of Appeals clerk, Reagan appointee on the
00:37:09.260 Ninth Circuit. So that was like a little patch of heaven in the middle of hell. And then I became
00:37:13.960 assistant secretary of state and I had 10 years Navy intelligence and I've run a company for 25
00:37:20.740 years helping the Pentagon. So and law enforcement was a huge part of what I've done for the last 30
00:37:26.000 years. So I look back here, I come to Maine and I say, you know, it really was other people who
00:37:30.780 said to me, Bobby, look at this. You managed billions of dollars. You shut down bureaucrats
00:37:36.420 at the State Department. I was responsible for training all the Iraqi police and Afghan police.
00:37:40.900 I set that up as Dave Petraeus did the military side. And you've managed big projects. You helped
00:37:48.020 bring down the Cali cartel. You're all about counter-narcotics. You did all the CD training
00:37:52.060 for the National Guard for decades. You're the guy that can help fix the drug problem,
00:37:56.840 both on the addiction side, frankly, and on the law enforcement side. You're all about fraud. For
00:38:01.940 five years, I was Gingrich's, one of his top federal investigators. I did the Waco hearings,
00:38:07.640 all those hearings. And Gingrich supported me. Mises supported me. People say, you just got to
00:38:13.940 get out there and go do it, Bobby. And so I feel like it's like a puzzle piece, Glenn. The problems
00:38:19.220 of the state of Maine match with the life experience that God has given me. Even though
00:38:25.340 if you asked me five years ago, I would have never thought about it. And I, in terms of
00:38:29.460 governorship, I was just waiting for Ronald Reagan to show up and I would have supported him and
00:38:33.600 made everything good. Um, you have, we, we get calls from listeners in Maine all the time that
00:38:40.080 say, uh, China is in our state and they are running these, these drug farms and nobody's
00:38:46.860 doing anything about it. Well, you're absolutely right. Go ahead. Yeah, no, to, to answer preempt 1.00
00:38:53.240 your question, but sorry. Yes, of course. We have three major groups of drug traffickers up here,
00:39:00.940 the Chinese triads that run between 300 and 400 of these grow houses, illegal marijuana that they 0.95
00:39:07.380 put fentanyl on and distribute, which of course damages Northwest, East, and South. It damages 0.99
00:39:13.340 people. And I can't tell you the number of overdoses tied to them, but I will tell you that
00:39:19.220 fentanyl on their marijuana is a major issue. And I will also tell you that we have between
00:39:24.600 eight and 10,000 overdoses a year in this state, hundreds and hundreds of fatal overdoses. You
00:39:30.880 know, a comparable state like South Dakota has 65. So we can do better. The second thing I'll
00:39:36.960 tell you is that we have the Sinaloa cartel up here. It's a major problem. They have gutted the
00:39:41.820 state police. People don't even want a lateral into this state to do law enforcement. We will
00:39:46.160 reverse all of that and we have the trinitarians how they gutted it oh my god they i've been all 1.00
00:39:51.960 over this state local law enforcement is literally being defunded they've defunded big chunks of the 0.63
00:39:57.280 state police they've taken their authorities away when they try to arrest people on 95
00:40:01.120 they're accused of racial profiling so of course they default to not arresting people
00:40:05.600 we know where these drugs are coming from the fentanyl the meth the heroin the the crack cocaine
00:40:10.940 in larger quantities than we have ever ever seen here and in larger purities we know where it's
00:40:15.800 coming from, Glenn. It's coming from very specific points in Boston, New York, and Connecticut,
00:40:20.480 and we know how it's getting here. It's getting here up through 95 Lawrence and Lowell. We can
00:40:25.780 almost, I mean, I talk to DEA every week. We can almost pick out the cars, but we don't do it
00:40:31.140 because this governor, Governor Mills, has deauthorized and defunded huge chunks of the
00:40:36.120 state police. I was up at the Holton Northern Border State Police outpost not long ago,
00:40:41.620 and they were down 41 percent in manning look they have they have they have literally favored
00:40:46.980 the illegal aliens they they've turned this into a a sanctuary state and a lot of the illegals 0.80
00:40:52.140 show up in those chinese grow houses i mean we have almost 8 000 illegals in this state i will 1.00
00:40:57.720 wire brush them out of this state starting day one tell me about the the person running that 1.00
00:41:04.880 you're going to be running against uh i mean you're it's looking really good for the primary
00:41:09.420 obviously um but if if you become the candidate who who who is the the democrat what are they
00:41:16.480 running as you know it's interesting and i'm gonna i'm gonna give you a little preemptive
00:41:22.580 here again just a simple statement democrats and independents the traditional democrats
00:41:28.740 and traditional independents or unaffiliated voters are just as sick and tired of all these
00:41:34.980 high taxes, overreach, overregulation, drugs everywhere, schools that can't be trusted
00:41:39.420 as Republicans. And so one of the things that's happening here is that traditional Democrats and
00:41:45.640 independents are calling me, joining me, literally almost in a revival type way at some of our
00:41:51.020 meetings, turning into Republicans on the spot, pledging to register as Republicans, because they
00:41:57.140 can't fathom that the candidates on the other side, and you mentioned Graham Plattner earlier
00:42:02.360 in the Senate race, but that the candidates, Glenn, on the other side are so utterly morally
00:42:07.640 bankrupt and dedicated, essentially, to putting bad money after bad. So the candidates are,
00:42:13.820 you know, we have this guy named Nirav Shah, who's like the Fauci of Maine, who shut down 55%
00:42:20.240 of our businesses, shut down our schools, shut down our churches. He's a complete...
00:42:25.580 Jeez.
00:42:26.300 No, he's a horror story. And there's no way that Mainers are going to vote for that guy. Then
00:42:30.340 you've got Hannah Pingree, the daughter of Shelley Pingree, who is the one who set up these new 0.59
00:42:35.580 American offices and has imported all these illegal aliens. And she's basically a carbon 1.00
00:42:40.320 copy of Janet Mills, who has incidentally endorsed her. You've got Shanna Bellows, who is the one 0.55
00:42:46.640 that threw Trump off the ballot, lost hundreds of ballots, refuses to disgorge names to the federal 0.97
00:42:52.620 government under subpoena. And then who else have you got? You got Troy Jackson in a funny little
00:42:57.180 twist. And my God, you know, Maine is a small state, but we're a damn interesting state. 0.96
00:43:02.060 We had a funny little mix because now we're very interesting. I mean, and when I get off this show,
00:43:08.240 you know, I'll be running around in my plaid shirt because it's how we grew up. We're very
00:43:11.760 simple minded. I guess we are a very simple, common sense based Norman Rockwell value based
00:43:17.380 state. And that's why all this is looking so goofy to a lot of Mainers that, you know,
00:43:22.160 the Democrats have thrown up these candidates. But another one is this guy, Troy Jackson,
00:43:25.920 who was head of the Senate, who decided that he would elevate himself by debating me, even in the
00:43:32.980 primaries. So I said, let's go for it. Bring it, brother. And so we did it and just crushed him.
00:43:39.500 And, you know, I think that's what's going to happen here in the general. We have so much to
00:43:44.180 gain. We're only a couple of seats away, Glenn, from controlling the House, the Senate, the
00:43:49.600 governorship. And I will strip the Supreme Court of all seven of its justices. They get seven-year
00:43:55.380 terms they all come due in that four-year term we will put constitutional conservatives on our
00:43:59.980 supreme court oh my gosh that is worth that's almost worth moving to maine to be able to vote
00:44:05.380 up there for i mean holy cow that's huge um it is um let's can i just ask you and you don't have
00:44:12.940 to comment on this but as somebody who is not there you don't know what to believe you're just
00:44:19.800 seeing i'm you know america's watching what's happening in maine from a distance and you're
00:44:25.180 not involved in the everyday back and forth but planner i mean that i mean it's it's i mean there's
00:44:33.300 no way no one would get the break of oh gee i didn't know that was a nazi symbol um coupled
00:44:41.560 with all of some of the crazy things that this guy has said is that really who the main democrat is
00:44:49.820 So, you know, it's a great question, not one that is people ask it every day of ourselves.
00:44:55.900 I mean, I think I think Democrats are asking of themselves.
00:44:58.680 I've asked the other Democrats in the gubernatorial to disavow him, and they've chosen not to so far.
00:45:04.900 I assume they will not disavow him.
00:45:08.260 You know, they're scraping the bottom of the barrel is what it boils down to here. 1.00
00:45:12.700 Mills was completely shooed out because she's a failure. 1.00
00:45:16.480 And all these other Democrats running for governor are carbon copies of her, failure.
00:45:21.320 But Graham Plattner is essentially a farce who is very well-funded.
00:45:25.700 He is a, you know, the National Democrat Party, I'm sure, are just oohing and aahing over him.
00:45:30.340 He presents well. 0.89
00:45:31.600 He is a Nazi, communist, let's see, woman-hating, minority-hating, veteran-hating guy who somehow has grabbed national attention. 0.99
00:45:44.200 I think he's a complete farce. 0.99
00:45:45.800 And at the end of the day, I think he's like a bubble that pops toward the end of the cycle, the same way that others around the country who have thrown up just crazy people pop.
00:45:55.100 But, you know, the problem is right now the Democrat Party in Maine, Glenn, has no one to reach to.
00:46:01.040 They have no bench. There is no high integrity.
00:46:04.860 I don't know what you'd want to call it, an Ed Muskie style Democrat up here.
00:46:10.720 And frankly, we we have lost the con.
00:46:13.980 We had Margaret Chase Smith. We had people who were real, I think, believers in Maine first.
00:46:21.440 You know, they didn't tolerate a lack of integrity. They didn't tolerate this kind of, I could use
00:46:26.380 other words for it, but they're probably not on air good words to use. They just, this guy is a
00:46:32.640 complete farce, but it's because literally the Democrat Party has no one to put up that has
00:46:39.120 high integrity, that has delivered anything. And all those things I talked to you about,
00:46:42.880 the high property taxes highest in the country high income taxes they just raised the income
00:46:48.100 tax again they just raised sales tax again our schools that are at the very bottom the drug
00:46:53.060 traffickers everywhere the energy costs the democrats own all of these things glenn they own
00:46:57.980 every single one of these failures so platner's just like i don't know flavor of the day grab a
00:47:03.520 guy that'll get some media attention and get money i hope he is a balloon that pops in the end
00:47:08.780 uh robert bobby charles um you can find his website bobby for maine for bobby for maine.com
00:47:15.440 follow him on exit bobby for maine uh bobby best of luck uh i hope you become the governor
00:47:21.960 thank you glenn we're up we're up by double digits in all seven polls so i hope we're on
00:47:27.040 our way but you know what it's through the tape every time so thank you i know it is i know it
00:47:31.540 Thank you. Appreciate it.
