00:01:35.960 That's on today's podcast.

00:01:38.180 The summary is one minute away.

00:01:41.800 You know, maybe there was a time in this country when sanity prevailed.

00:01:45.420 You know, when the economic health of the nation was a thing that both sides wanted to preserve.

00:01:50.020 You know, even if they might disagree on how to preserve it.

00:01:52.880 I think everybody was kind of like, you know what?

00:01:54.640 I kind of like America.

00:01:57.320 You know, I don't know.

00:01:59.260 Maybe under the surface there was this globalist monster waiting under the surface.

00:02:05.380 But it's there now and it's out in the open.

00:02:09.700 Where we are today is wildly irresponsible.

00:02:13.780 I would highly recommend that today is the day you start at least gathering the information and making the first phone call to Lear Capital.

00:02:26.620 Buy gold or silver, please.

00:02:29.560 Your dollar is going to be worthless.

00:02:33.500 Eventually worthless.

00:02:36.060 It is.

00:02:37.560 If especially if she gets in.

00:02:40.220 I'm telling you reparations.

00:02:41.780 Operations, what do you think your dollar is going to be worth?

00:02:44.800 How do you think inflation will work?

00:02:46.880 Hedge against inflation.

00:02:48.340 Gold, silver, 800-957-gold, 800-957-gold.

00:03:01.600 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:03:06.360 Carol Roth joins us now.

00:03:08.980 She's just written an article for Blaze.

00:03:12.720 TheBlaze.com.

00:03:13.820 Kamala Harris is pro-worker like McDonald's is pro-cow.

00:03:18.560 Hello, Carol.

00:03:19.500 How are you?

00:03:21.240 Hi, Glenn.

00:03:22.020 I'm doing fantastic.

00:03:23.280 How are you?

00:03:23.980 I'm very good.

00:03:25.740 So what are you thinking about the debate today?

00:03:28.540 Uh, and what, uh, Donald Trump needs to do because he's going to be in there fighting really by himself.

00:03:37.520 The two anchors are so anti-Trump.

00:03:41.480 I don't think they're going to, you know, necessarily be helpers on holding her feet to the fire.

00:03:47.480 Oh, you mean the, uh, the media outlet that has 100% pro-Kamala Harris stories is not going to turn around and be a fair debate moderator?

00:03:57.340 I'm shocked.

00:03:58.140 Yeah, it's weird, huh?

00:03:59.700 I, I see Kamala Harris coming out as new and improved Kamala Harris now with more joy because it's the only thing that she can hang her hat on, right? 0.99

00:04:11.820 She is going to sit and gaslight the American public and pretend that she was not part of the Biden-Harris administration, that she was not the tie-breaking vote on all of this critical legislation, which has raised inflation, created massive deficits, and really decimated the middle and working class.

00:04:33.520 She's going to try to, to present herself as something completely different.

00:04:38.200 I think what Donald Trump needs to do, and this is going to be very difficult for him because when, when somebody hangs a softball out there, he likes to, he likes to hit the pitch, but he needs to stay away from the ad hominem attacks.

00:04:52.420 He needs to not take the bait because she is going to be baiting him back and forth, and he needs to stay focused on the economy, on the border, on the U.S.'s standing in the world, and simply hold her feet to the fire for the policies that she has been responsible for, and contrast that to the pre-COVID three-plus years that we had Donald Trump as president and what everybody's life was like.

00:05:19.100 We know that.

00:05:20.000 We have empirical evidence.

00:05:21.060 Okay, but Carol, she does have some things she can boast about.

00:05:25.920 The small business success.

00:05:28.520 She claims a record of 19 million small business applications were received under their leadership.

00:05:37.960 And that's a record, I hear.

00:05:40.020 That's what they say.

00:05:40.940 Okay, so this is, I think most people know who listen to me on your program, that I'm one of the world's leading experts on small business.

00:05:51.500 I've been entrenched for decades.

00:05:53.480 I heard this thing, this small business applications, and I went around to every group that I know, and I said, what is a small business application?

00:06:04.580 Because when I started my business, I didn't have to apply at the federal level.

00:06:09.720 You know, certainly, if I had an LLC, so I registered that with the state.

00:06:13.960 Some people have sold proprietorships.

00:06:16.000 What does this mean?

00:06:17.280 Because we have 33-plus million small businesses, but, you know, that only grows on net, you know, less than a million a year.

00:06:26.180 So, how is it possible that we have 19 million new application starts?

00:06:33.300 And so far, no one's really been able to give me an answer.

00:06:36.140 I have one committee, you know, related to the House Small Business Committee who thinks that maybe there's some information that came from the state census data.

00:06:45.740 But I asked them, they're actually having a committee hearing, and I asked them if they could ask the SBA administrator and put her on the hot seat because they're running around touting these made-up statistics to sound like they're some champion of small business.

00:06:59.340 At the same time, Glenn, NFIB came out with their small business optimism index today, the 32nd consecutive month that small business optimism has been below the historical average, and that's a 50-year average.

00:07:18.320 Well, that's because they fear Donald Trump is coming back.

00:07:24.840 For 32 months, yes.

00:07:26.620 I mean, it's crazy because I see this number, you know, of 19 million small businesses, and I'm like, I thought that was just because of all the businesses that they had put out of business, they're, like, starting up new businesses.

00:07:45.000 So, I just thought they were taking credit like they do with all the job creation.

00:07:49.040 We've created more jobs.

00:07:50.760 No, you didn't.

00:07:51.880 People went back to work.

00:07:53.260 You had told them you cannot work.

00:07:57.200 So, of course, there were people going back to work.

00:08:00.240 But you're saying this isn't that at all.

00:08:03.240 This is possibly even made up.

00:08:06.720 Yeah, I mean, it's something, but nobody knows really what it means.

00:08:11.100 It certainly is not a proxy for new small businesses created, which is what they're intimating.

00:08:17.160 And we know the number of small businesses, you know, a year ago was 32 point something million, and then it climbed to 33 point something million.

00:08:25.740 You know, yes, that's on net.

00:08:27.680 Unless they're killing 18 million small businesses a year, which, you know, we know that they're certainly trying, but I don't think that they've succeeded in doing that yet.

00:08:37.780 But this is an absolute, you know, it's just, you know, spouting off nonsense.

00:08:43.640 And they're doing this again and again to gaslight people into things are so great.

00:08:49.600 We're so in your corner.

00:08:51.240 But at the same time, she's coming out and she's tweeting about anti-small business policies like the PRO Act that she said that she's going to put in place, which for people who don't know, that is the anti-gig worker and anti-independent contractor language from California's AB5 taken nationally.

00:09:09.560 And they want to kill the gig economy and all the small businesses that depend on independent contractors in favor of unions and big business.

00:09:18.480 So it's very difficult to say I am the small business, I am the worker candidate and still be in favor of these things, which is why I equate it to being like McDonald's being pro-couse.

00:09:30.240 You know, it is, as a small business owner myself, I look at tomorrow and think if they get in, the regulations, just the regulations alone that are still sitting out there that they want to impose, will just crush small businesses.

00:09:52.000 These guys, you know, they used to say that, well, the Republicans are in with big business.

00:09:59.200 Well, they were also in with small business, too.

00:10:01.720 You know, they had a business attitude.

00:10:04.260 These guys are only big business.

00:10:07.740 They are only in with the giant global corporations.

00:10:12.660 That's all they care about.

00:10:13.940 And it is honestly like they are trying to impoverish the small business and impoverish the middle class without moving any of the middle class up.

00:10:26.580 They're moving them all down.

00:10:29.200 Yeah, I'm glad that you brought up regulations because, as I mentioned, there's this House committee meeting right now and they came out with a report earlier this year that the Biden-Harris agenda imposed $1.7 trillion in regulations on small businesses.

00:10:46.280 And that was before we've had some of these pending regulations go into place.

00:10:52.200 So I am certain that that's higher.

00:10:54.780 And that is millions upon millions of hours that are wasted.

00:10:58.940 That is real dollars that are wasted.

00:11:00.880 And that's a barrier to success.

00:11:03.620 You know, we keep hearing this ridiculous phrase, the opportunity economy.

00:11:08.020 Well, if you want to create opportunity, you reduce barriers or you reduce regulations, you reduce taxes, you reduce the government being up in your business.

00:11:18.360 And you have the government mind their own business so that you can go off and work in your business.

00:11:24.220 You know, that is what it is all about.

00:11:25.760 I know that our audience is heavy on entrepreneurs and people who have done business for a long time.

00:11:34.860 But there's also a younger generation that listens.

00:11:38.280 And explain why regulations hurt opportunity.

00:11:45.720 They hurt opportunity because, number one, they're costly.

00:11:51.100 Two, you're spending time complying with the regulation instead of spending the time working and growing your business.

00:11:58.500 And the challenge is that if you are a big company, if you're the Amazons of the world, if you're the Walmarts of the world, you have not only a whole balance sheet to deal with this, but you have a whole host of people in your company, whether it's HR or whether it's some other administrative function that can deal with these regulations. 0.94

00:12:20.980 When it comes to small business, the majority, greater majority of small businesses, it's just the entrepreneur.

00:12:27.520 So it's one person who's already wearing all of those hats trying to deal with this.

00:12:32.300 Even if you have some employees, you don't have the wherewithal, the ability or struggling enough to deal with inflation, finding the right workers, remaining competitive, dealing with cybersecurity and the like.

00:12:46.160 You don't have time and you don't have bandwidth and you don't have capital to deal with these regulations.

00:12:52.520 And some of them are so onerous that people want to close their business.

00:12:58.000 Something that we've been talking about, Glenn, for months now that the Corporate Transparency Act, which is this registration with the Financial Crimes Division of the Treasury.

00:13:07.960 I've had hundreds upon hundreds of small business owners and people looking to start small businesses saying that they don't want to, they want to close their business, they don't want to start because they don't want to deal with the asymmetrical risk of having their information exposed or the government coming after them for doing something wrong.

00:13:27.160 So because the government is imposing this regulation, which by the way is still in flux, it's preventing these entrepreneurs from taking those risks and creating opportunity, which creates jobs, which creates more dollars in their community, which grows the economy, which is what we need to move ourselves forward.

00:13:48.140 This is so obvious, but all they want to do is take away wealth, create barriers, redistribute it, and make it very, very challenging for a small business owner to succeed.

00:13:59.840 You, I think it was you, Carol, said, oh, maybe six months ago we were talking and you said, Glenn, most of the stuff that they've done doesn't really kick in until 2025.

00:14:13.240 So we haven't felt the full impact of Bidenomics yet.

00:14:19.160 Was that you that said that to me?

00:14:21.520 Quite probably.

00:14:22.800 Okay.

00:14:23.100 So what is it that is coming still that we haven't felt?

00:14:27.320 What described next year, just as it stands, um, without any new policies, if we just continued where we are?

00:14:38.820 Well, as I said, the House Small Business Committee is doing a markup on seven different pieces of legislation trying to overturn, um, you know, all of, all of these stringent rules for small business.

00:14:52.680 This corporate transparency act, we have until the end of the year for that to go into effect.

00:14:58.940 If, if there's no delay, which by the way, there's two delay bills and two repeal bills or two repeal bills and seven lawsuits.

00:15:05.660 If we don't get that done by the end of the year, then people are going to be faced with compliance.

00:15:10.640 And then on top of that, you know, we have the tax cuts and jobs act, um, you know, large pieces of that is expiring and changing the way that small businesses have to look at their taxes and figure out, um, you know, what makes sense for them from a, an administrative standpoint.

00:15:28.300 So, you know, and, and, and that's, again, just scratching the surface.

00:15:32.960 So, you know, one after another, there are things in the pipeline.

00:15:37.860 And then if Kamala Harris were to become president, again, day one, they are going to try to rule by executive order. 1.00

00:15:45.260 I mean, one of the other things that this, um, you know, department of labor rule, their anti, uh, independent contract rule that went into effect in March, they haven't been truly enforcing it.

00:15:56.700 I haven't seen much of the way of enforcement, but if they start to crack down on that, you know, that's something that could kill, you know, all of small business across, across the board.

00:16:06.700 Um, so there are just so many different things and it's challenging enough to own your own business.

00:16:13.400 As you well know, as a small business owner to not constantly have to be worried about what's the next shoe that's going to drop coming from your own job.

00:16:22.900 You're streaming the best of the Glenn Beck podcast.

00:16:26.440 To hear more of this interview, find the full episode, wherever you get podcasts.

00:16:31.460 First, let me tell you about relief factor.

00:16:37.140 If you're somebody who suffers from pain in your body or, you know, on a regular basis or, you know, uh, even just occasionally where you're like, ah, how may I suggest relief factor, relief factor?

00:16:51.480 Uh, you're not comfortable in pain.

00:16:55.300 You can't do your job in pain.

00:16:57.340 You can't really be you.

00:16:58.800 If you're in pain, relief factor is a danger.

00:17:01.440 It's a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain by fighting inflammation, which is the source of most of the pain in our bodies and a lot of our disease as well.

00:17:10.100 It's a hundred percent drug free to develop by doctors for you to, uh, be able to reduce or eliminate pain.

00:17:17.000 And over a million people have tried relief factors, quick start 70% of them got on to order again.

00:17:21.980 That's why they want to send you a three week quick start.

00:17:24.880 Just try the three week quick start.

00:17:27.060 If it works for you in three weeks, continue to take it.

00:17:30.220 If it doesn't, yes, you're out 1995, but chances are it's going to work for you.

00:17:37.240 It's less than a dollar a day.

00:17:38.740 ReliefFactor.com.

00:17:40.400 Call 1-800-4-RELIEF.

00:17:42.360 1-800-4-RELIEF.

00:17:45.260 Now back to the podcast.

00:17:47.880 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:17:52.040 Liz Wheeler.

00:17:53.380 How are you?

00:17:54.160 I'm well.

00:17:54.720 Thanks for having me.

00:17:55.460 You're welcome.

00:17:56.200 You're welcome.

00:17:57.080 So, uh, I guess I'm going to start where Stu started with meat this morning.

00:18:02.480 Uh, are you optimistic?

00:18:04.460 I'm so excited for this debate.

00:18:06.060 Are you really?

00:18:06.640 Yes.

00:18:06.900 I'm such a political nerd.

00:18:07.920 I love this kind of stuff.

00:18:08.840 I know it's a circus.

00:18:09.760 It's a clown show, but it's also, it seems like a culmination of what we fight for every

00:18:14.800 day.

00:18:15.060 We finally have two people that are representing polar opposite viewpoints for our country,

00:18:20.420 different paths.

00:18:21.380 And I'm rooting for Trump.

00:18:22.640 I think he can win, but I think one of the most important things that he has to do is

00:18:26.400 understand his enemy.

00:18:27.860 Yeah.

00:18:27.980 If you know your enemy, then you will be able to defeat them.

00:18:30.740 And he has to be very self-aware that Kamala Harris is going to try to be this girl boss,

00:18:36.880 girl power. 0.99

00:18:37.960 She's going to try to provoke him emotionally, and he has to be able to let that roll off

00:18:42.060 of his back.

00:18:42.760 So what do you mean she's going to be that girl boss, girl power? 0.97

00:18:46.360 Remember when she was debating Mike Pence during the last round and she goes, excuse me,

00:18:50.220 Mr. Vice President, I'm speaking.

00:18:51.880 Yeah.

00:18:52.140 Why do you think this time her team insisted that the mics be left open versus, remember

00:18:56.900 in the first debates between Trump and Biden, the mics were muted, so you could only speak

00:19:01.460 during your allotted time.

00:19:02.360 Otherwise, no one would be able to hear you.

00:19:03.840 All of a sudden, she had agreed to this.

00:19:06.060 And then last week, her team says, actually, we want the mics open.

00:19:08.320 Well, why?

00:19:09.240 So that she can run these quote unquote fact checks in real time.

00:19:13.080 She can say, you're lying.

00:19:13.980 I'm speaking. 0.98

00:19:14.760 And make it seem like he's this white patriarchal male who's trying to be a bully to her as a 0.97

00:19:20.420 woman of color.

00:19:21.040 I think if he handles this debate exactly the same way he handled it with Joe Biden, he's

00:19:28.340 he's going to do really well.

00:19:30.280 Yes, he did.

00:19:31.580 He did very well with Joe Biden because he stayed.

00:19:34.780 He was so disciplined about his message.

00:19:36.660 See, this is the thing.

00:19:37.820 Kamala Harris is a radical. 0.98

00:19:39.300 She's not moderate.

00:19:40.420 She's not centrist.

00:19:41.420 She shouldn't appeal to independence.

00:19:42.960 She is a radical leftist, a Marxist.

00:19:45.840 Her father was a Marxist, is a Marxist economics professor.

00:19:49.960 And Donald Trump should highlight that.

00:19:52.000 He has all the facts on his side.

00:19:53.840 She's been in the White House for four years now.

00:19:56.420 So her record is Joe Biden's record.

00:19:58.600 So on anything.

00:19:59.740 I don't know if you heard the news today, but her policy page is Joe Biden's policy page.

00:20:07.440 How do you do that?

00:20:09.060 It's like a gift to the Trump campaign.

00:20:10.620 Oh, it is.

00:20:11.300 It absolutely is.

00:20:11.760 She's going to come out and pretend to be a prosecutor. 1.00

00:20:13.720 She's going to ask him pointed question after pointed question.

00:20:16.060 She's going to call him a felon.

00:20:17.360 Yes.

00:20:17.580 And you know what he should do if she calls him a felon?

00:20:20.480 Because she's going to.

00:20:21.320 That's pulled well for them.

00:20:22.720 He should say, Madam Vice President, do you agree with the Supreme Court ruling that the

00:20:26.540 vaccine mandate that came from the Biden-Harris administration was illegal?

00:20:30.340 And if she says that she agrees with the Supreme Court, then she is acknowledging that

00:20:33.460 she was a tyrant trying to violate all of our medical freedom. 1.00

00:20:36.060 And if she says, no, I think the Supreme Court was wrong, then she's saying she thinks

00:20:39.160 it's legal for her to do that. 0.99

00:20:40.260 So when you want to talk about crime against people and a visceral response that people are

00:20:44.620 going to have to a crime committed against them, he should pivot to the topic that's

00:20:48.080 important for the viewers to understand.

00:20:50.460 He's never going to change Kamala's mind on stage, but that's not the point.

00:20:54.280 The point is to showcase to the American people what she is.

00:20:57.880 So, you know, you started with saying, and I've wanted this for a long time, if we're going

00:21:03.220 to talk about communism, we're going to talk about truly changing the economy, changing

00:21:10.100 the Constitution, all the things that the World Economic Forum has been doing, along

00:21:15.640 with a Biden-Harris thing, then let's have that conversation honestly, you know?

00:21:22.700 And we do have, literally, a communist.

00:21:27.680 What she is proposing is communism.

00:21:32.060 And her dad loves that stuff.

00:21:34.340 So she grew up, steeped in all of this stuff.

00:21:38.460 But she won't admit it.

00:21:40.040 That's the problem.

00:21:41.060 No, but her track record shows it. 0.94

00:21:42.760 So all Trump has to do is remember one question.

00:21:44.820 Every time she makes an assertion, he should say, what does that mean?

00:21:47.460 And not, not, he should say it rhetorically.

00:21:48.980 He shouldn't give her back the microphone.

00:21:50.400 But if she says, I'm going to be tough on the border, he should say, what does that mean?

00:21:53.560 During the past four years, when you were in the White House and had control of this

00:21:56.280 as the border czar, which was acknowledged by the United States Congress after Biden appointed you

00:22:00.100 to that position, eight and a half million illegal aliens crossed the border.

00:22:03.000 So when you say you're going to be tough on the border, is that your definition of tough

00:22:05.420 on the border?

00:22:05.880 Or did you fail when you had a chance at this job?

00:22:07.840 She's going to say, we have greatly stopped the flow of illegals. 0.97

00:22:13.420 I hope she does, because that'll turn people off.

00:22:15.320 Because people have Haitian migrants eating ducks in their front yard in Springfield, Ohio. 1.00

00:22:20.520 They're not going to believe her when she says everything's hunky-dory.

00:22:23.120 Yeah, I don't, I, tell me this.

00:22:25.660 I said to Stu yesterday that I'm actually becoming more and more optimistic about this election

00:22:31.320 because things are getting so bad that the average person, I mean, if you're a, you're

00:22:38.700 a stay-at-home mom, if you're a, if you're a mom, you are worried about your kids getting

00:22:44.200 to and from school, even in California, where now the immigrants are just staying at the bus 0.99

00:22:51.120 stop, standing there with your kids.

00:22:53.700 And if the bus sees a bunch of immigrants there because they're trying to get on the 0.99

00:22:58.820 buses, if they see them, they just blow on by.

00:23:02.520 They won't pick your kid up.

00:23:03.920 So now your kid is left at the bus stop with illegals because the bus driver doesn't want 1.00

00:23:09.120 to stop.

00:23:10.920 You have, you're, every day you're going in and you're fighting against prices.

00:23:16.260 The rate of the rise of inflation has slowed down, but they keep saying that, you know,

00:23:25.000 inflation is, is falling.

00:23:26.740 No, the rate of how, uh, the rate of how, uh, of going up has slowed down, but we're still

00:23:35.620 20 to 23% inflation compared to when Trump was in office.

00:23:40.740 That's all he has to say.

00:23:41.680 He just has to say, my fellow Americans, how much are you paying for groceries right

00:23:46.480 now?

00:23:46.720 What was your grocery bill last week?

00:23:47.980 How much did it cost you to fill up your tank of gas the last time you filled up at the gas

00:23:51.600 station?

00:23:52.060 And then he says, and how much did it cost when I was president?

00:23:55.000 And if Kamala Harris says, oh, I'm going to impose price controls or some other communist 1.00

00:23:58.440 measure that I think that was for the food industry, but that's her general idea, which

00:24:02.600 showcases exactly what she is.

00:24:04.300 He just has to say, well, do you support continuing to send us dollars to Ukraine?

00:24:07.660 Because that's what's causing the inflation.

00:24:09.380 She's going to say, yes, this is a fight against Putin. 0.73

00:24:11.460 He's a tyrant, blah, blah, blah.

00:24:12.840 After she finishes her spiel, Trump just says, okay, so what I'm hearing you say is, yes,

00:24:16.260 you want to continue to spend American dollars in Ukraine, which means you're saying to the

00:24:19.980 American people that you don't care how much their gas and groceries cost.

00:24:22.280 I do care.

00:24:23.020 And I've proved that because when I was in the White House, people had a very different

00:24:26.200 life than when you have been in the White House.

00:24:27.600 Yes.

00:24:28.980 When you, when it comes up to Ukraine, I mean, right now, Afghanistan is on everybody's mind

00:24:36.880 again, because it was the anniversary.

00:24:38.600 Um, and that was such a disaster.

00:24:42.700 And now we are, we are openly praising Ukrainians for their drone attacks on Moscow. 0.98

00:24:52.820 We would never put a, if Canada became an enemy and Russia was sending drones over and military

00:25:02.220 equipment and they were, they were bombing with drones, New York or Washington DC, we would

00:25:10.920 not put up with it.

00:25:12.420 They're not going to put up with it either.

00:25:15.640 And you, how is she going to make the case that we are safer today?

00:25:23.000 Again, I go back to the mom worried about our kids.

00:25:26.720 I don't want to send my kids to war.

00:25:28.660 I don't want our world to be at war.

00:25:31.340 I'm also, I don't want drag Queens in my, in my school, you know, for my kids. 1.00

00:25:36.900 It's all of these things are so worse, so much worse that I just think that when people

00:25:43.400 close the curtain this time around, they are going to reflect, do I want more of this?

00:25:50.680 Right.

00:25:50.980 That's why I encouraged president Trump to stay on message, because if you get into the

00:25:55.260 weeds on the personal stuff, as it, as, as entertaining as that might be for us to watch

00:26:00.200 for a moment, the average American wants to talk about how things impacted them.

00:26:05.000 That's classic politics.

00:26:06.920 So with the war in Ukraine, yes, you can talk about these hypothetical war plans, but the

00:26:11.160 truth of the matter is Kamala is dragging us to the brink of war. 1.00

00:26:13.740 She arguably is the one who started this war by saying that Ukraine could be part of NATO.

00:26:17.740 That was what, a month before Russia invaded Ukraine.

00:26:21.560 There's no doubt that there was a correlation between those comments and the onset of this

00:26:25.060 war.

00:26:25.340 I mean, she is a warmonger.

00:26:26.700 She wants to continue this.

00:26:27.840 And then what's worse is she wants to draft our daughters and send them to war. 1.00

00:26:30.760 I know.

00:26:31.140 Tell that to the average, the average suburban mom. 1.00

00:26:33.700 The, I have two young daughters.

00:26:34.700 The idea that Kamala Harris could send them off to war enrages me.

00:26:38.840 I have an 18 year old daughter that could be drafted, I guess, under her if we went into

00:26:46.560 a war.

00:26:47.140 That is.

00:26:47.980 It's unacceptable.

00:26:48.920 Unacceptable.

00:26:49.800 I mean, and there's no Canada for my son to run to, but I'd have to have, I'd have to

00:26:55.040 find some place for my son and daughter to run to.

00:26:57.700 They will not serve in a war with these people.

00:27:01.620 They won't.

00:27:02.440 I, I, I, I, as a dad would say, do not do it.

00:27:06.840 Where do we, where do we have you go to?

00:27:09.300 And it's a very frightening prospect for our country.

00:27:11.080 We shouldn't be in a situation where we feel like we have to run away from our country.

00:27:16.220 Otherwise our children.

00:27:17.200 I've never felt that way.

00:27:17.820 No, I haven't, I have not either.

00:27:19.840 And I'm a newer parent than you are.

00:27:21.360 My, my oldest is three and a half, but the idea that I'm already having to think about

00:27:25.360 all these different ways to protect her from the left, trying to get her, whether it's

00:27:29.860 trying to indoctrinate her on abortion, whether it's trying, I actually had last year, it was 0.62

00:27:33.620 not this past November, but the November before I had a debate with the local school board

00:27:36.860 member outside of the polls.

00:27:37.880 I was walking in carrying my daughter on my hip and the school board member or this

00:27:42.200 candidate I knew was very leftist and she wanted to talk about her policy.

00:27:45.720 So I'm like, sure.

00:27:46.600 I enjoy this a little bit.

00:27:48.660 And I said to her, do you believe in, in, in teaching transgender ideology to children? 0.96

00:27:53.600 And she goes, Oh, I, we need to be inclusive.

00:27:55.380 And I was like, I held up my daughter who I don't use for political props, but she was

00:27:58.980 just there with me voting.

00:27:59.760 And I said, so if my two year old at the time said she wanted to be a boy, you would transition

00:28:05.600 her behind my back.

00:28:06.500 And essentially she said, yes.

00:28:08.080 And I was like, evil, that's evil.

00:28:10.480 That's what we're fighting against.

00:28:11.420 People who will say that to your face.

00:28:13.200 I know this is, I mean, president Trump should bring that up because, you know, it's amazing

00:28:17.200 what they'll say to our face.

00:28:18.900 Yeah.

00:28:19.360 And then what they say is a conspiracy theory that they always turn out now to be absolutely

00:28:25.780 accurate and they eventually admit it.

00:28:28.840 Yes.

00:28:29.140 Okay.

00:28:29.500 Yeah, that is true.

00:28:30.400 The things that they say to our face are frightening enough when somebody is

00:28:36.240 unclear with you in this administration, you should be terrified.

00:28:40.800 And I don't know why people continue to listen to liars. 0.80

00:28:44.960 You know, Donald Trump exaggerates. 0.92

00:28:47.860 He exaggerates.

00:28:49.280 I don't know.

00:28:50.880 I mean, I can't think of anything of any importance that he has exaggerated or lied about.

00:28:58.660 Can you think of anything that he lied about?

00:29:00.360 For example, we talked about a couple of times when he was saying no, no one opposed

00:29:05.580 Roe versus Wade being overturned.

00:29:07.400 Right?

00:29:07.700 Yeah.

00:29:08.000 Now what he's talking about there is clearly there were a lot of people on the left, legal

00:29:12.140 scholars who did think it was bad law.

00:29:14.420 So he's summarizing a legitimate situation by overstating it.

00:29:18.420 Correct.

00:29:18.920 Correct.

00:29:19.060 It's like a hyperbolic generalization, not a lie.

00:29:22.060 I'm not trying to justify not being precise, but there is a difference.

00:29:25.880 Yeah, there is a difference.

00:29:26.980 And especially when you know you're lying.

00:29:30.180 You know, it's one thing to say this and then, you know, and he said there are fine people

00:29:35.400 on both sides.

00:29:36.340 At this point, you are engaging in evil because you know exactly what you're doing.

00:29:44.340 That is exact opposite of what he said.

00:29:48.920 And they just, I guess people just are, they're either numb to it or they hopefully are waking

00:29:55.580 up and going, you know what? 0.99

00:29:56.880 But these people have given me this crap in my, in my home, in my bank account and with 0.99

00:30:06.040 in my city, I can't trust them anymore. 0.99

00:30:09.380 I don't, I, I just can't keep doing it.

00:30:12.020 Right.

00:30:12.520 And the, and that obviously Kamala is responsible for her own lies, but the institution that's 1.00

00:30:17.740 responsible for allowing her to be a liar is the mainstream media.

00:30:20.680 And that's what I would advise president Trump.

00:30:22.280 He doesn't, he shouldn't come off as a bully.

00:30:24.400 There is the idea that if you have a man and a woman on stage and the man's being very

00:30:28.080 harsh, there are a lot of women who will interpret that as being a bullying demeanor, whether 1.00

00:30:31.760 or not it's true.

00:30:32.840 That's simply the reality of how people perceive things.

00:30:35.200 And so he should say, what does that mean when she says a lie?

00:30:38.320 Because here are the statistics that show that that's not true and say, I don't know

00:30:41.480 why you're telling an untruth except to deceive the American people.

00:30:44.040 But this is why this is a good example of the damage that happens when the mainstream media

00:30:48.180 runs interference for you, because you shouldn't be on the stage if you're not going to

00:30:51.080 tell a truth, but that should have been weeded out years ago.

00:30:54.400 By media, actually doing their job and asking questions about why you were contradicting

00:30:57.720 your actions.

00:31:01.060 This is the best of the Glenn Beck podcast.

00:31:03.400 It's a compilation of clips from various episodes.

00:31:05.920 If you want to dig deeper into this interview, check out the full podcast episode.

00:31:11.380 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:31:13.240 Pat Gray is joining us now.

00:31:15.180 I like your new backdrop, I guess it is.

00:31:18.400 The screen with the, you're in the cowboy hat and the Western outfit sitting on a horse

00:31:23.920 is Doris Kearns Goodwin coming up.

00:31:28.960 It's happening.

00:31:29.760 WNBC.

00:31:31.400 He's turning into Imus. 0.89

00:31:33.260 It's happened.

00:31:33.720 In front of our eyes.

00:31:35.540 Past tense.

00:31:36.340 It's happened.

00:31:37.000 Except Imus kept losing weight.

00:31:39.960 He was, I mean, I'm just, no, Glenn is actually in the midst of a streak here, which is pretty

00:31:48.480 freaking impressive.

00:31:49.220 How much weight have you lost?

00:31:50.060 52.

00:31:50.820 52 pounds.

00:31:51.640 What?

00:31:52.020 It's noticeable.

00:31:52.420 You've lost 52 pounds?

00:31:53.700 Yeah.

00:31:53.840 It's noticeable.

00:31:55.400 Are you doing like, was that a pick or something?

00:31:58.620 He's got, he's, he's, well, cocaine.

00:32:00.860 Cocaine.

00:32:01.620 Ah.

00:32:02.260 Yeah.

00:32:02.440 The cocaine is still flowing.

00:32:03.880 Yeah.

00:32:04.240 I've heard that works.

00:32:05.560 The cocaine diet.

00:32:06.300 Oh, it does.

00:32:07.020 I heard it too for a long time and I'm like, I gotta give it a whirl.

00:32:10.060 What was the quote from, from Dennis Quaid in your interview?

00:32:13.780 It was, you know, cocaine, it's good at first.

00:32:18.220 Then it's good with problems.

00:32:20.680 Then it's just problems.

00:32:22.920 It's a good quote.

00:32:23.960 It's a good quote.

00:32:24.560 It's a good quote.

00:32:25.520 But yeah, the stuff looks great here, Glenn.

00:32:27.600 Yeah, it does.

00:32:27.980 I mean, you look like you'd actually run that horse.

00:32:30.000 I mean, it's not like, it's not AI.

00:32:32.420 Those are my cattle.

00:32:33.820 I was driving my cattle on my horse.

00:32:35.800 So it has actually your face on that body?

00:32:39.880 Is it, to me, it's...

00:32:41.100 By the way, Stuart, are you changing your name to Charles anytime soon?

00:32:44.560 Charles McCord?

00:32:45.360 Yeah.

00:32:45.600 Yes.

00:32:47.400 These old Imus jokes are really so relatable.

00:32:51.420 They're good.

00:32:51.680 They're so relatable.

00:32:52.320 I mean, somebody's got to pick up that mantle.

00:32:54.180 It's been gone since 2019.

00:32:55.800 He wasn't a current reference 20 years before he died.

00:32:58.700 I will tell you that I am going to start opening up the ranch for sick kids.

00:33:08.300 Sick kids?

00:33:08.920 Yeah.

00:33:09.760 Yeah.

00:33:10.240 What a nice idea.

00:33:11.620 Right.

00:33:11.920 Glenn, that's really nice.

00:33:12.680 Say, thank you.

00:33:13.800 See, I say this to my wife, and she's like, that's not nice.

00:33:17.240 And I'm like, what?

00:33:18.420 Of course it is.

00:33:19.180 I bring up sick kids, we put them to work, pay them less than minimum wage, we get stuff

00:33:25.980 done.

00:33:26.340 I got a lot of fence to build.

00:33:28.020 Yeah.

00:33:28.280 It's a big property.

00:33:29.540 It's a big property. 0.97

00:33:30.880 You need a lot of sick kids to build those fences. 0.99

00:33:32.440 Anyway. 0.99

00:33:32.920 Anyway.

00:33:33.620 So tonight.

00:33:34.920 So tonight.

00:33:35.720 Tonight.

00:33:36.660 The big debate.

00:33:37.600 What do you think?

00:33:38.340 What do you think?

00:33:38.880 What do you think?

00:33:39.260 I just, I hope he sticks to policy.

00:33:42.400 I hope Donald Trump sticks to policy and tries to pin her down on, what was the pivot point

00:33:49.420 for you?

00:33:49.980 You know, the question that you've asked for years, what was your pivot point?

00:33:53.060 Why have you changed on absolutely everything?

00:33:55.220 You stand the opposite policy position on virtually everything you've ever outlined.

00:34:01.120 Where was your pivot point?

00:34:02.340 Reportedly.

00:34:02.980 We don't know that for a fact.

00:34:04.120 She doesn't say it.

00:34:04.960 Right.

00:34:05.280 The only one she actually said was fracking, right?

00:34:07.180 She said she no longer supports the fracking ban in that Dana Bash interview.

00:34:11.680 But everything else, she hasn't.

00:34:12.760 She hasn't come clean up.

00:34:13.400 Well, she did.

00:34:14.180 Yes.

00:34:14.540 There is one other thing, and that's the ban on plastic straws.

00:34:19.640 She apparently has announced she's no longer in favor of the plastic straws.

00:34:24.900 And I have to tell you that.

00:34:25.720 She hasn't announced that.

00:34:27.200 That was another statement leaked.

00:34:28.480 Oh, it's just a statement.

00:34:29.300 Yeah.

00:34:29.480 She hasn't actually said it.

00:34:31.020 She hadn't come out and said the straw thing even.

00:34:32.680 Which is.

00:34:33.280 Was it on the website, though?

00:34:34.420 Because some of the stuff has come out on the website.

00:34:36.140 Yes, she has.

00:34:36.740 You did actually launch a policy page for the first time, which is interesting.

00:34:41.640 By the way, I would vote.

00:34:44.480 I wouldn't vote for anybody who wants paper straws.

00:34:48.120 I don't care if it was Ronald Reagan part two.

00:34:52.220 I would not vote for.

00:34:53.460 If he was like, I want zero taxes, but I want paper straws.

00:34:57.560 No, you're not getting my vote.

00:34:58.660 I have to tell you.

00:34:59.260 What do they say?

00:34:59.900 Because like dolphins choke on it or something?

00:35:02.220 No, there's no reason for it.

00:35:03.880 No, but that's what they're saying, isn't it?

00:35:04.800 It's just because they wind up in the ocean.

00:35:05.920 Yeah, they wind up in the ocean.

00:35:06.600 500 million a day.

00:35:08.000 I don't care.

00:35:09.140 Remember the nine-year-old kid stat?

00:35:10.560 It was legitimately a statistic that came from a child.

00:35:15.540 A child and a book report.

00:35:17.340 Or a project for school.

00:35:19.760 Sorry, Glenn.

00:35:20.080 I mean, I just don't.

00:35:23.400 If you have ever used a paper straw, we celebrate it.

00:35:26.880 I used to use them as a kid.

00:35:28.360 Remember?

00:35:28.860 Yes.

00:35:29.240 We had paper straws.

00:35:30.340 We didn't have plastic straws.

00:35:31.860 I thought that was a newfangled thing.

00:35:33.660 I didn't know.

00:35:34.140 No.

00:35:34.760 They've always been around.

00:35:35.920 Yeah.

00:35:36.300 Just for different reasons.

00:35:37.760 Yeah.

00:35:38.320 Because we had to change it because we're cutting down too many trees with too much plastic. 0.95

00:35:43.220 No, they sucked. 0.96

00:35:44.320 That's why. 1.00

00:35:45.180 Or didn't suck. 0.90

00:35:45.920 Didn't suck. 0.99

00:35:46.300 You know, they were really, they were very bad. 0.90

00:35:48.620 And I got to tell you, I don't care what your reason is.

00:35:51.400 I don't care if people in Florida are born with plastic straws shooting out of their eyes.

00:35:58.780 I'm good with it.

00:35:59.580 I want my plastic straw.

00:36:00.380 Exactly.

00:36:00.980 If each plastic straw we used killed a family member of mine, I still want them.

00:36:06.960 That's where I am on it.

00:36:08.160 Yeah.

00:36:08.480 That is, it's probably my most extreme issue.

00:36:11.100 I hate them.

00:36:12.280 Has there ever been an American citizen that has gotten through one single drink with one 0.89

00:36:17.540 of those straws?

00:36:18.320 No.

00:36:18.560 Has it ever occurred?

00:36:19.480 No.

00:36:19.920 It's always two or three straws because they close up.

00:36:22.900 They're the worst.

00:36:24.640 Anyone who would entertain this, it's like, it's disqualifying for you as a leader.

00:36:30.380 So here's what Donald Trump's challenge is tonight.

00:36:34.500 And this apparently is his strategy, is to hold her accountable for everything that is going

00:36:40.300 on.

00:36:40.600 And it's not hard.

00:36:42.480 Listen to this.

00:36:43.120 This is 2021.

00:36:46.120 Listen.

00:36:46.540 That is why also, starting with our administration, we gave TPS, temporary protected status, to

00:36:53.720 Haitian migrants, 55,000.

00:36:56.520 And then more recently, we extended temporary protected status to over 100,000 Haitian migrants

00:37:03.300 for that very reason, that they need support, they need protection.

00:37:06.560 Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow,

00:37:14.840 meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow.

00:37:15.640 Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow.

00:37:17.080 I think that's all you should say after that.

00:37:18.960 I don't think that's a good approach.

00:37:20.860 I'm going to go with, yeah.

00:37:22.080 How about, how about, hey, so you're very proud of the Haitian immigrant thing.

00:37:26.860 How's that working out, Ohio?

00:37:28.340 i wonder that's she's gonna that's the type of thing i could see her trying to get him going on 0.93

00:37:35.140 so he says some mistake yeah but there's no defense for you've got a town of 58 000 people

00:37:41.740 where you dumped 20 000 immigrants into definitely no i don't care where they're from you can't do

00:37:47.740 that you can't do that who the hell do these people think they are how is it that they how 0.51

00:37:54.880 is it that our government just thinks it's okay to take our towns and just change the makeup of

00:38:02.000 overnight overnight overnight it's insanity that by the way so that was kamala in uh in 21 cut three

00:38:11.540 is jd vance months ago chairman brown i'd like to ask unanimous consent to submit a letter for the

00:38:17.260 record from the city of springfield and our state uh the the southwestern part of our state which i

00:38:22.140 think highlights a very real example of this particular concern uh straight from the horse's

00:38:26.640 mouth itself and now this letter i want to quote from it springfield has seen a surge in population

00:38:31.060 through immigration that has significantly impacted our ability as a community to produce enough housing

00:38:35.660 opportunities for all springfield's haitian population has increased 15 to 20 000 over the

00:38:41.760 last four years in a community of under 60 000 previous residents putting a significant strain

00:38:47.020 on our resources and ability to provide ample housing for all of our residents and

00:38:50.220 in quote there and and mike objection so thank you um in in my conversations with folks in

00:38:56.840 springfield it's not just housing they're trying to build 5 000 new housing units which is

00:39:00.700 a very herculean task in a town of about 55 000 people but it's also hospital services it's school

00:39:07.300 services it's there's a whole host of ways in which this immigration problem i think is having very

00:39:12.160 real human consequences to his hatred i mean that was from july that was from july they've been dumping

00:39:20.140 people into our communities in the middle of the night they've been flying them in in the middle of

00:39:26.500 the night dumping them into our communities changing the culture yeah i have to tell you

00:39:32.220 if this isn't racism i i would be pissed off if in my town what do you think we have in my town about

00:39:40.960 20 000 just in my town yeah about 20 or 30 000 you think less than that if they took and they added

00:39:49.580 30 percent californians i'd be pissed off yeah it changes the political makeup of your area it just

00:39:57.200 changes the culture entirely yeah and you know for people who grew up in springfield

00:40:03.680 i liked my town yeah yeah and too i think even if you added that percentage of people of any sort

00:40:11.260 to a town of that size it would be dramatic right it is and those numbers are i mean i reading the

00:40:18.300 media coverage on it they act like all of this is a lie like the and there was that video that was

00:40:22.980 put out there we talked this is a lie that's what they say i mean they just keep saying it's just

00:40:26.680 racism people didn't those people didn't come that they came but like they're just you know that

00:40:31.480 they're lying about cultural changes i don't care if they're from new york and they're all white 0.79

00:40:38.420 people i don't care you'll change the makeup of my town you'll change the culture anybody who is

00:40:47.120 culturally different and right now the blue just the blue and red you you take what would you be fine

00:40:56.440 new york if all of a sudden the government just we i mean we wouldn't do it it would be a

00:41:01.420 civil war but they started just importing into your city in you know new york city 30 texan

00:41:10.360 would you be fine with that of course you wouldn't of course you wouldn't is that make you anti-texan

00:41:18.400 yeah probably in your case it does does it make me uh you know uh anti-californian yeah in my case it

00:41:26.020 does it's the cultural thing we don't agree on what the culture should be like and my problem is

00:41:35.960 is these people just didn't find their way it's not like you know where do we want to live i don't know

00:41:41.000 let's look around what what fits us the federal government just dumped these people off into a city

00:41:47.540 it's arbitrarily yeah why that community why i don't know they're just changing the makeup

00:41:53.900 do you remember michelle bachman this is almost 20 years ago saying they're just the state department

00:41:59.480 is just importing all these somalis into minnesota you do remember and she was called how's that

00:42:05.700 worked out yeah she's called a racist yeah how is it working out how is it working out

00:42:10.420 not well no especially for the cats is that even true yeah so it's absolutely true um there was a

00:42:19.520 woman you sure yeah it okay got some proof here with this video of uh of neighbors calling out this

00:42:26.180 woman for well eating a cat what did you do why'd you kill the cat smile for me 1.00

00:42:35.280 smile like this did you eat that cat she's got cat in her teeth did you eat it

00:42:44.300 no why'd you kill it did you guys see all this no we pulled up and she was just laying there with

00:42:51.580 you did you see her eating it she was eating it yeah she was you can call the humane society see if

00:42:58.060 they'll come pick those cat up it's deceased well being eaten yeah that tends to yeah usually

00:43:03.600 deceased people in most circumstances now was she living crazy well i would guess it's a cultural

00:43:11.120 difference uh it might be a little both okay all right all right um now it does seem that at least

00:43:18.800 the reporting on this is that it was a real incident this is a real person eating a real cat that's

00:43:24.100 actually part of it she was not however a haitian immigrant and it was in canton not springfield ohio

00:43:29.520 okay so i don't know that that necessarily makes this all that better because i don't want to you

00:43:34.060 know i i think the i think the cat memes they're going around i think that's just a response to

00:43:41.060 you're importing people who for instance somalis will come in and they stand on the toilet seat and 1.00

00:43:49.460 take a crap squatting because that's the way they do it in their country and they did it so much they 0.97

00:43:55.560 had to put signs inside bathroom stalls do not stand on toilet seats wow sit down okay it's i mean 0.99

00:44:04.740 it's just a cultural thing yeah but look i mean any this is happening all over the place they're

00:44:13.200 trying to make it into this racist thing we played what 20 clips yesterday of uh of african americans

00:44:18.940 standing up yelling at their town council saying what is going on yeah who are you to do this right

00:44:24.620 thank you pat gray from pat gray unleashed
