The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Rep. Chip Roy & Dinesh D'Souza ｜ 10⧸2⧸24

00:00:00.000 Holy cow. Today was a jam-packed show. I know you've just dialed in to the best of,

00:00:07.480 but today might be a full podcast show that you have to hear. Jam-packed. Jill Savage talks about

00:00:13.760 the best moments that J.D. Vance had during last night's debate. Really good points. Dinesh D'Souza

00:00:19.360 joined us to talk about vindicating Trump and how J.D. Vance did that in the debate last night as

00:00:24.920 well. And Chip Roy joins the show to talk about Texas fighting off the invasion of dangerous

00:00:30.800 Venezuelan gangs and what this means. He's saying we are at the end of the republic stage if we don't

00:00:39.320 wake up and vote and vote the right way. Plus, on the full show podcast, more. You're going to hear

00:00:47.240 from Liz Wheeler and Allie Beth Stuckey talking about the debate and really specifically about

00:00:54.380 women and how do we, what should we send from the debate to our families and people who are 1.00

00:01:01.460 skeptical. They know that Kamala Harris is in it, but they can't find themselves voting for Donald

00:01:08.560 Trump. They talk about that. Also, Selena Zito talks about the dock strike and firsthand reactions from

00:01:14.880 folks in Appalachia in last night's debate. It's really amazing. Got to hear all of it. That's the

00:01:20.940 full podcast. But right now, the best of the Glenn Beck podcast. You're never going to regret planning

00:03:00.880 program. All right, you sick, twisted freak. We have Jill Savage with us now. She is the host of 1.00

00:03:09.380 Blaze News Tonight, which airs every night, 7 Central, 8 Eastern. And welcome to the program.

00:03:18.860 How are you? I am doing great. I'm doing great because we don't have to go through and say,

00:03:23.000 oh, how did it go last night? Was it good? Was it bad? No. Everybody on the right that watched that,

00:03:27.400 everybody that is a normie, Glenn, that watched that is like, wait, this J.D. Vance guy,

00:03:32.740 they're trying to tell me he's weird. They're trying to tell me he's out there and crazy. 0.96

00:03:37.340 This guy looks pretty normal. And you know what we get from that? The media, of course,

00:03:42.160 anytime he's going to have a sit down interview, of course, they're going to try and frame it as

00:03:45.880 whatever they can to make the right not in a good glowing image. Well, they worked hard at that last

00:03:52.640 night. But with live debates, with live television, you can cut right through and speak directly to the

00:03:59.700 American people without anyone interfering. And he shined so bright on that stage last night.

00:04:05.540 Yes, he did. The moment for you.

00:04:08.920 The moment for me was when J.D. Vance came out, his opening remarks, and he hit it later with the

00:04:14.860 economy stuff. But he brought back the American dream. Glenn, on this show, on any show that we're

00:04:20.940 looking at over the last weekend, there's so much doom and gloom out there in the world right now.

00:04:27.080 I don't know what you're talking about.

00:04:28.400 Right? We could have potential World War III, inflation, the port strikes. What's going on?

00:04:32.820 People don't need to be reminded about how bad it is.

00:04:37.580 You can tell you've been listening to this show for a long time.

00:04:39.820 I love this show. I am one who wants the doom and gloom.

00:04:42.780 She actually started watching when we were doing headline news at CNN. She was the one that watched

00:04:48.380 that.

00:04:48.480 Oh, wow.

00:04:49.000 She was the one that watched that.

00:04:50.100 But I look at it and say, okay, people are living their lives. It's hard enough as it is. And J.D.

00:04:56.600 Vance went out on that stage multiple times last night and said, it's okay to still have the American

00:05:02.400 dream. That, to me, is so important because we see poll after poll with millennials, with Gen Zers,

00:05:08.480 and they say, you know what? I don't think that my life, my quality of life is going to surpass that

00:05:14.440 that my parents had. Whether it's true or not, that's what they believe right now. And you need

00:05:20.240 somebody to come back and say, no, it is still possible to live the American dream.

00:05:26.660 So, I want to play that clip here in a second. But, you know, J.D. Vance, if I hear one more

00:05:32.340 person say, you know, I grew up in a middle class. First of all, that's great. If you grew up in a

00:05:36.980 middle class and you're now in upper class, fantastic. That's the story of America. But J.D. Vance came

00:05:43.880 out and said, you know, I grew up in a middle class. I don't think he did.

00:05:46.760 He did not.

00:05:47.540 He grew up in the lowest of lower classes. I mean, his mom was addicted to heroin. I mean,

00:05:55.400 he had a horrid, horrid upbringing.

00:05:59.340 He's underselling his story, which is hard to do. And they made the movie about it again. Go watch

00:06:04.860 it this weekend on Netflix, Hillbilly Elegy. But when you look at what he was able to overcome

00:06:10.060 from that childhood, and then Tim Walz is out there making fun of J.D. Vance for, oh, he went to Yale.

00:06:17.780 Oh, okay. At what point are the leftists the one that are making fun of the Ivy League colleges?

00:06:23.480 That's weird in and of itself. But the fact that J.D. Vance could stand there on stage at

00:06:28.500 the RNC and say, my mom had struggled with addiction. And you know what? If I get into

00:06:33.500 the White House along with Donald Trump, she will have her 10-year sober chip and we'll have that 0.98

00:06:37.620 party in the White House. That story is incredible. And that's why the media will hate him even more.

00:06:44.700 So listen to his opening statement. This is what Jill was talking about of hope. Listen to this.

00:06:50.680 I want to answer the question, but I want to actually give an introduction to myself a little

00:06:54.120 bit because I recognize a lot of Americans don't know who either one of us are.

00:06:57.380 I was raised in a working class family. My mother required food assistance for periods of her life.

00:07:02.120 My grandmother required Social Security help to raise me. And she raised me in part because my

00:07:06.820 own mother struggled with addiction for a big chunk of my early life. I went to college on the GI Bill

00:07:12.340 after I enlisted in the Marine Corps and served in Iraq. And so I stand here asking to be your

00:07:17.020 vice president with extraordinary gratitude for this country, for the American dream that made

00:07:21.180 it possible for me to live my dreams. And most importantly, I know that a lot of you are worried

00:07:26.500 about the chaos in the world and the feeling that the American dream is unattainable.

00:07:30.860 I want to try to convince you tonight over the next 90 minutes that if we get better leadership

00:07:35.140 in the White House, if we get Donald Trump back in the White House, the American dream is going

00:07:39.420 to be attainable once again. This is one of the reasons why I said he is the best vice president

00:07:48.340 candidate of my lifetime. I can't think of anybody who's even in the category of this guy.

00:07:55.420 He walks on stage. This is the first time Americans have seen him. Many Americans have seen him and

00:08:02.100 seen him in a presidential debate. He could be president tomorrow. You know, I after 20 in 2028,

00:08:12.520 assuming we still have elections in 2028, Ron DeSantis will have a run for his money because

00:08:20.020 this guy is really solid. Absolutely. And he came out like a professor, right? What did he do last

00:08:26.220 night in his opening statement? Here's what I'm going to tell you. Yes, we're going to learn. Here's what

00:08:30.340 we're learning in the middle. And then at the end, wrapping it back up. Here's what we can do as a

00:08:36.060 country. He knows how to frame a message. And oh, my gosh, you guys on the right, please. Can we have

00:08:44.360 more of that? Ron DeSantis is very good at it. J.D. Vance is very good at it. It feels like the

00:08:50.840 politicians, though, they forget that when they get on stage. All the messaging goes out the window and

00:08:56.500 they're in front of the media. We need to clearly articulate our values, our principles, because we

00:09:02.800 have the winning message. The masks are off. They are telling you on the left that they are flat out

00:09:09.180 demonic. It's not it's not a hard game to play right now. This should be the easiest one to go

00:09:16.180 through and message. It is a battle of good versus evil. And and we're on the winning side.

00:09:21.240 So, you know, I'm I agree with you that this is a battle of good versus evil,

00:09:27.660 but I don't think we get get anywhere by calling and I'm not saying you did this by calling Kamala

00:09:35.640 evil or whatever. I think it is a bloodlust that comes from evil. But I actually think these people

00:09:44.280 really think they're right. It's a funny line. I just drew there like I don't call him evil,

00:09:49.700 but it is from a bloodlust that it results in evil. No, but it is saying it is. I'm not saying

00:09:56.240 that it is a I'm not saying that they are knowingly doing this. They have they have built

00:10:02.460 this bloodlust up thinking they're doing the right thing and not recognizing you might be in

00:10:10.400 the service of the wrong guy. That's that. And it's that Nazi and that famous skater is like,

00:10:14.880 are we the baddies? Yeah. Like it's that type of thing at this point. I mean,

00:10:19.060 when you're sitting on stage arguing about the benefits of ending the lives of 63 million

00:10:25.040 children, I that's that's their we should all note that's their good polling argument. Yeah,

00:10:32.340 it's not just their fault. The fact that that is the argument that works in the polls to the point

00:10:37.240 that our party is seemingly halfway running away from it is despicable in every way. I think the

00:10:43.620 reason why so many conservatives have changed is because they demonized us. They called us Nazis.

00:10:51.000 And so when somebody calls you a Nazi and a racist, if you're a thinking human being, you

00:10:56.680 you do a little inventory on yourself. Am I what am I saying that is like that? And then you

00:11:02.660 understand. Well, no, I'm not. And here's why. Yada, yada, yada. They haven't done that.

00:11:09.340 They have not been pushed in any of their positions. So they just keep sliding lower and

00:11:17.120 lower and lower and you can't defend it. That's why she's not doing any interviews. That's why 0.92

00:11:24.240 Walls, this, alas, you'll see of him doing any interviews or anything else because they've never

00:11:30.000 been pushed. So they can't they don't know how to defend it. Absolutely. And it showed on stage last

00:11:36.160 night that Tim Walls has done one interview with Kamala Harris. And it was a very powderpuff CNN

00:11:41.260 sit down interview. And J.D. Vance has been thrown out there. And you take all the press that you can

00:11:47.740 if it's on a tarmac, if it's a if it's a sit down interview, we don't care. We're going to push him

00:11:52.000 out in front of the American people. And you are going to clearly articulate our vision. But the

00:11:56.720 leftists, they have they've gone so far down the rap that you just look at it and you say,

00:12:02.460 where where do they even start to come back from this and get them back in the center?

00:12:08.720 I think that it's too far gone for for the leftists that are that are truly believing

00:12:13.820 that the abortion is the it's the number one issue and they will not budge from that. So 0.95

00:12:19.920 so what do you do with the rest of America, the normies that are still out there that still say,

00:12:25.680 you know what, I don't think that that's exactly the way that I want to go. Well, I think J.D.

00:12:30.620 Vance articulated that in a very clear, decisive manner last night.

00:12:34.220 You're sending a a text to a friend and you have one clip to pick. You would pick the opening

00:12:41.860 statement, the opening statement. Yeah. And just the fact that he would come back and talk about

00:12:45.700 the American dream a couple of different times in that debate, because people need to feel that

00:12:52.320 there is still some hope out there. They can't go about living their days with the doom and gloom

00:12:58.680 that is hanging over their head. That's going to be there anyway. We need somebody that is

00:13:03.240 inspirational, that can say we can get through this and get out of this and end up better on

00:13:10.360 the other side. Let me just end this. Thank you. Thank you so much, Jill. Let me just end this

00:13:16.460 segment with his closing statement, which is bookend the entire debate.

00:13:22.680 Senator Vance, your closing statement. Well, I want to thank Governor Waltz,

00:13:27.240 you folks at CBS and of course the American people for tuning in this evening. And one of

00:13:31.880 the issues we didn't talk about was energy. And I remember when I was being raised by my grandmother

00:13:36.200 when she didn't have enough money to turn on the heat some nights because Ohio gets pretty cold at

00:13:41.060 night and because money was often very tight. And I believe as a person who wants to be your next

00:13:46.380 vice president, that we are a rich and prosperous enough country where every American, whether they're rich

00:13:51.800 or poor ought to be able to turn on their heat in the middle of a cold winter night. That's gotten

00:13:56.280 more difficult thanks to Kamala Harris's energy policies. I believe that whether you're rich or 0.83

00:14:00.860 poor, you ought to be able to afford a nice meal for your family. That's gotten harder because of

00:14:06.100 Kamala Harris's policies. I believe that whether you're rich or poor, you ought to be able to afford

00:14:10.300 to buy a house. You ought to be able to live in safe neighborhoods. You ought to not have your

00:14:14.120 communities flooded with fentanyl. And that too has gotten harder with Kamala because of Kamala Harris's

00:14:19.340 policies. Now I've been in politics long enough to do what Kamala Harris does when she stands before 1.00

00:14:24.620 the American people and says that on day one, she's going to work on all these challenges I just

00:14:29.900 listed. She's been the vice president for three and a half years. Day one was 1400 days ago and her

00:14:37.480 policies have made these problems worse. Now I believe that we have the most beautiful country in

00:14:43.220 the world. I meet people on the campaign trail who can't afford food, but have the grace and

00:14:48.800 generosity to ask me how I'm doing and to tell me they're praying for my family. What that has taught

00:14:53.680 me is that we have the greatest country, the most beautiful country, the most incredible people

00:14:59.060 anywhere in the world, but they're not going to be able to achieve their full dreams with the broken

00:15:05.480 leadership that we have in Washington. They're not going to be able to live their American dream

00:15:09.660 if we do the same thing that we've been doing for the last three and a half years.

00:15:13.220 We need change. We need a new direction. We need a president who has already done this once

00:15:18.600 before and did it well. Please vote for Donald Trump. And whether you vote for me or vote for

00:15:23.600 Tim Walz, I just want to say I'm so proud to be doing this and I'm rooting for you. God bless you and

00:15:28.340 good night. I make both those clips. I'd like to turn that into one clip and we'll post that so you can

00:15:35.040 send that out. I'll tweet it. You got to send that to your friends. Donald Trump 2024. J.D. Vance 2028.

00:15:43.220 Dan is a semi-professional bodybuilder in New York. You know, Dan and I, you know, Dan, we've

00:15:52.240 got a lot in common. Anyway, he's been suffering from shoulder pain for years due to that weight

00:15:58.540 lifting injury. You know, Stu, I mean, if I've had one weight lifting injury, I've had a thousand.

00:16:05.480 You are Mr. Jim Rat. That's you. Anyway, he kept hearing me talk about Relief Factor on the radio,

00:16:13.520 wondered if it could help him. Within a couple of weeks, beginning of taking it, he said his pain

00:16:17.840 went away. His mobility began to return. Dan got his life back. So now I'll see him again in those

00:16:24.760 competitions. And that's a good try, Dan. But, you know, when you're competing against me, Relief Factor

00:16:31.200 is a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain by fighting inflammation, which is the source

00:16:35.620 of most of the pain in our bodies and a lot of disease as well. It's 100% drug-free developed by

00:16:41.100 doctors to reduce or eliminate pain. Over a million people have tried Relief Factor's quick start. 70%

00:16:45.960 of them have gone on to order it again. Give Relief Factor a try with their three-week quick start.

00:16:50.660 It's $19.95, less than a dollar a day. See how it can help you turn back the clock on pain.

00:17:03.780 Now back to the podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:17:08.880 We're thrilled to have Dinesh D'Souza joining us, a best-selling author, award-winning filmmaker.

00:17:14.160 His documentaries, 2016, Obama's America, and then America, Imagine a World Without Her. Some of the

00:17:22.020 top-grossing political films of all time. He's got a new one coming out called Vindicating

00:17:28.800 Trump. We're going to get into that in just a second. Let's first start with the debate last

00:17:36.380 night. Yeah, I thought JD was terrific. He, well, he vindicated Trump in his own distinctive.

00:17:46.320 It's the first time I think anybody has done that really well. Yeah, and he almost vindicated

00:17:52.460 the virtues of an Ivy League education. Of course, Tim Waltz boasts that no one he's

00:17:59.140 ever taught has gone to an Ivy League school. That's not something a teacher should say.

00:18:04.100 He takes a certain pride in the lack of achievement of his.

00:18:06.900 I've raised a bunch of kids. I taught them, and they've all gone on to, well, be farmers

00:18:13.640 and plumbers, which is totally fine. But a teacher should be like, you know, and I really

00:18:20.460 helped drive somebody to really go on and do something just amazing that they thought they

00:18:26.180 couldn't do.

00:18:27.040 Absolutely. I mean, the thing about Waltz is he's conveying a certain, I guess they brought

00:18:32.600 him on to bring up, to make a left-wing populism, to counter JD's appeal to like the white working

00:18:39.960 class. But I'm really not sure that that's Waltz's appeal at all. He has a kind of-

00:18:44.640 What is his appeal?

00:18:45.720 Well, it's a kind of aw shucks goofballism, which is a little unbecoming the way I see it.

00:18:52.340 I mean, I don't know if you saw that little scene where he's on the football field, he sees

00:18:56.120 a mascot. And he just goes into a massive sports routine. He does the victory sign, he

00:19:02.300 jumps up and down, he hugs the mascot. And you have to remind yourself, this is a 60-year-old

00:19:06.840 man. The emotionalism is out of proportion with the event.

00:19:11.140 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:19:11.860 And it's that exaggerated mannerism. I think there's a, you know, we all know there's a

00:19:16.440 kind of fake fakery with Kamala Harris. I think there's a different kind of artificiality

00:19:21.400 or fakery with Tim Waltz. The thing about JD Vance and Trump, by contrast, is authenticity.

00:19:28.940 I mean, they're both the real deal.

00:19:30.440 They are.

00:19:31.020 Right? JD came out from the kind of the dregs of society, as he writes himself.

00:19:36.600 He said twice, I'm from middle class. No, he's not.

00:19:40.700 No.

00:19:40.940 He's from low class.

00:19:42.540 And not only that, but it's in a kind of way worse because it's one thing to grow up

00:19:47.080 in poverty, right? There are Indians who grew up in the slums.

00:19:49.360 But you take a slum kid and you give him opportunity and he'll thrive. Why? Because 0.98

00:19:53.840 he's actually got a family. He's got a kind of a social structure, even in the slum. He's

00:19:59.880 just missing opportunity. With JD Vance, if you read about his family, his grandmother

00:20:04.400 is setting his grandfather on fire. This is the cultural dysfunctionality. Mirrors anything

00:20:10.440 you'd find in a barrio or in a ghetto.

00:20:12.440 Yeah. I mean, his mom is addicted to heroin. How many people do you know that grew up like 0.84

00:20:17.760 that that have achieved just breaking that cycle? Just breaking that cycle is a huge

00:20:25.060 victory. Going on and being a vice presidential candidate who held his own like he did last

00:20:32.320 night. That is only in America. Literally only in America.

00:20:36.140 You know, it's funny. He has the Indian wife. I had him on my podcast and my name, Dinesh,

00:20:40.200 has said Dinesh in America. But in India, it's said a little differently. It's actually

00:20:43.480 said more like Dinesh, right? So anyway, JD comes on. He goes, hello, Dinesh. And it kind

00:20:49.260 of startled me. But then I remembered he got it from Usha. He probably said, call him Dinesh.

00:20:54.520 And so I chuckled out loud. But so JD has this kind of wonderful life story of moving in a

00:21:01.240 way from kind of rural Appalachia into a certain cosmopolitanism and a certain urbane style, which

00:21:09.800 is very fact driven, very measured. So I thought he was very effective.

00:21:13.340 So I think he was most effective last night at giving people who might want to vote for

00:21:21.020 Donald Trump, but are just a little hesitant. You know, I don't know. I thought he made it

00:21:28.180 OK to vote for Donald Trump for those people who are edgy about it. You know what I mean?

00:21:34.240 We also can't forget that Trump is well into his 70s. And I think people who are voting for Trump

00:21:39.920 have to look a little bit beyond Trump. And so JD has to make people comfortable that, hey,

00:21:45.040 you know what, if something happens to Trump and I'm in the saddle, I'm going to be fine. And I think

00:21:49.020 he did do that last night.

00:21:50.420 And it was, I mean, it shows Donald Trump is not planning on, you know, becoming king forever,

00:21:55.600 because that is clearly a successor. He picked a successor.

00:21:59.700 Yeah. And I think also Trump dispelled the idea, which was kind of circulating with Mike Pence,

00:22:05.480 that somehow Trump is this alpha male and he picks people who are very passive,

00:22:10.480 people who will never steal the limelight, people who are not smarter than he is.

00:22:14.520 But JD is in a way competitive on all those fronts. And Trump appears to be very comfortable

00:22:19.380 in picking a guy like JD. So I think it says a lot about Trump as well as about JD.

00:22:23.720 He really likes, he likes JD. Let me, let me take that same kind of path of making it okay

00:22:31.960 to vote for Donald Trump. I, I have been saying for a while, I'm so glad you're doing this.

00:22:38.220 Somebody has to compile all of the things that have been said about Donald Trump and compare it to

00:22:45.120 what the truth is. Now that we can prove all of the things that are true. I just, I just saw

00:22:51.680 Leslie stall on 60 minutes back in 20, I don't know, 2017 or some, some time. And they were talking

00:22:59.860 about his Russian collusion. And he said, Leslie, that's not true. And they are, they, they bugged my

00:23:08.360 office. They were spying on, and she just became indignant. That's not true. There's no evidence of

00:23:15.800 that. Well, now we know the evidence. So the vindication of Trump is so important.

00:23:23.140 And the vindication of Trump is important because Trump himself does his own thing. There's a certain

00:23:28.000 appealing shtick. Trump is a bit of a standup comedian. Of course, in, in the two assassination

00:23:33.080 attempts, he showed, I think, a sublime level of courage. Oh yeah. And I don't know anyone alive

00:23:38.460 who would respond to either assassination attempt that way. Not to mention, by the way, the 91 criminal

00:23:44.140 charges, think of it, any other Republican facing two criminal charges would probably have exited

00:23:49.360 the field. Yes. May never be heard from again. And Trump not only survives and endures, he is such a,

00:23:56.160 he does so much legal rope-a-dope. He, he thwarts all the, all the gag orders. You know, he comes right

00:24:02.160 out of the courtroom and starts speaking and taking on the judge. So his ability to forge ahead is sort

00:24:07.840 of legendary. It is. Now, that being said, when I remember flashing back to the Reagan days,

00:24:12.740 Reagan would stand up and make the case for himself. Here are the reasons to vote for me.

00:24:16.620 Right. Trump does not do that. And that's why this film, Vindicating Trump, it's in theaters now,

00:24:21.640 by the way, 800 and so some theaters around the country. And I have a book of the same title coming

00:24:26.540 out in about a week. Right. VindicatingTrump.com, if I can give the website. Yeah, yeah. Type in your,

00:24:32.080 you know, city or, or your town and boom, the theaters will, will pop right up. So this has been a,

00:24:37.520 I think an exciting project because like you say, we can now look back and see all the ways in which

00:24:44.760 devious things were done and present it as true. Here's a small example. Fauci recently comes out

00:24:50.500 and says, you know, that six foot social distancing rule, there were no studies behind that. There was

00:24:56.300 no science. All the follow the science was, was made up. The rule was made up. But then I always think

00:25:01.680 to myself, what, why, why did you make up that rule? And the answer I think is obvious. And that

00:25:06.680 is, if people have to be six feet apart from each other, you can't have a normal election. Because

00:25:12.180 in a normal election, people stand in line to vote. So the justification for mailing out millions of

00:25:18.360 ballots, mail and drop boxes, changing all the rules, all of this was connected in some way to the

00:25:24.800 social distancing that was presented as something that was a mandate. But as it turns out, was a

00:25:31.720 conjecture. Have we, have we even begun to turn the corner on any of this? I mean, I'm seeing like,

00:25:42.300 I think Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr., his running mate who is, you know, now she's even saying,

00:25:50.480 no, the election was stolen in 2020. She said, I didn't believe it before. I believe it now because

00:25:55.660 I've seen the inner workings of the Democratic Party. This is the point. I think there's been a

00:26:00.060 real, certainly a breakthrough in, in people grasping how deep this problem lies. In fact,

00:26:06.480 I think we have to give a little bit of rope to Trump in the sense that some of the mistakes that

00:26:11.060 Trump made were he came in from the outside. I think Trump thought, we know the media is left wing.

00:26:16.540 We know that Hollywood is left wing, but is the FBI left wing? Yeah. The CIA, the military, really?

00:26:22.660 Right, right. I think Trump thought if I bring in a general, John Kelly, this guy's going to do what

00:26:25.960 I say. He'll get it done. So the idea that the guys in the lab coats at the CDC and the NIH were

00:26:32.560 ideological, were corrupt, were lying. I don't think that crossed his mind. Yesterday, a couple days

00:26:38.660 ago, I saw George Conway raging on one of these shows and he was saying, you know, Trump is such a 0.88

00:26:43.380 narcissist. He only cares about himself. You know, he doesn't care about people. He doesn't care about

00:26:49.040 the country. And I'm thinking to myself, my mind flashed back to COVID. And I thought, here's Trump

00:26:53.460 in March of 2020. He's got a roaring economy, which is going to carry him on his little surfboard

00:26:59.240 right across the finish line. And then the people in the white coats come to him and say, you got to

00:27:04.660 shut it down. Right now, if Trump only cared about himself, he'd be like, I don't care. Let the

00:27:10.340 pandemic rage. That's not my problem. I want to get across the finish line. That's my goal. But no,

00:27:15.600 Trump immediately goes, you know what? I actually know that I'm killing the golden goose that I

00:27:20.780 created and I'm going to jeopardize my own chance of reelection. And he did it. So he did it more

00:27:27.380 effectively than what they're saying now. He went, he went beyond what they were saying. They were

00:27:34.620 saying, you know, the left was saying at first, you know, he's a racist. He and he's like, I'm

00:27:40.280 shutting it down. I'm shutting it down because this is the advice that is not remembered either.

00:27:46.560 No, no. And and and and the the achievement was that Trump said, look, we need to fight this and

00:27:52.560 we need to fight this with science. And so he deployed the the the effort to try to find a vaccine.

00:27:59.360 Now, apparently they found a vaccine that reduces the severity. But then they started lying about

00:28:04.000 that. Right. You you can't take the vaccine. This is Rochelle Walensky. You can't get COVID. You

00:28:09.080 can't give away, give COVID. The disinformation was coming from the government. That's the whole point.

00:28:15.360 So when Tim Walz stands up last night, he goes, well, you can't shout fire in a crowded theater.

00:28:19.420 We're not talking about shouting fire in the crowded theater. We're talking about the government

00:28:23.480 censoring critics who are saying truthful things in response to the government's own lies.

00:28:29.420 We're we're not. The theater already burnt down. We're outside saying who started the fire.

00:28:36.280 It appears maybe the firemen were involved. That's the difference. And that's when free speech

00:28:42.220 must happen. Must happen.

00:28:44.240 I think the key thing I'm trying to do here with Trump is answer on pass on or along the way,

00:28:49.580 the Republican who says something like this. I don't like Trump, but I like his policies.

00:28:54.220 Or they'll say, you know, he needs to shut his mouth or Dinesh, tell him to stop posting on social

00:28:59.300 media. So there's a certain idea out there that we need a new and different Trump, a kind of a

00:29:04.220 reform Trump. We need to remake Trump. But my point is that a lot of Trump's greatest qualities

00:29:09.560 come out of the same personality that is over the top. I mean, Trump is obviously, you know,

00:29:17.140 he's a salesman and he'll say things like the for him, the crowd isn't just big. It has to be the

00:29:22.060 biggest crowd ever. Right. The burgers at Mar-a-Lago aren't just good. They're like the

00:29:25.980 best burgers ever made. You know, that's Trump. And everyone knows that. Even his dictator for a

00:29:30.820 day is Trumpian shtick. Now, I'm not a dictator, but maybe for one day, you know, this is like

00:29:36.120 stand-up comedy. And the left pretends to take it seriously. I think that's the key point. They

00:29:40.360 pretend that he poses this severe threat. Deep down, they know he doesn't. But deep down,

00:29:45.980 they also do fear him like they don't fear any other Republican.

00:29:49.560 I've only got about 40 seconds. Tell me about the idea of 7% in the latest polling coming out of

00:30:00.520 Pennsylvania. There's a seven point spread between people who say they're going to vote for Trump

00:30:05.140 and people who say, I know Trump and his policies are better for me economically and for my life.

00:30:13.420 What's that gap? And does that go away? Do those 7% actually walk in and vote?

00:30:19.560 For Trump.

00:30:20.520 Yeah. I think if the American people could see there's a dimension of Trump, he's a genuinely

00:30:29.240 nice guy. So for example, he's famously egotistical in public, right? He loves praise.

00:30:34.360 In private, he's not. He's actually self-deprecating and he shows great curiosity about people.

00:30:39.840 He also is very, he has a certain generosity of spirit. And all of this is evident to people who

00:30:47.980 are around him. I try hard, the centerpiece of this film is a one-on-one with Trump. And I tried to

00:30:52.540 bring out that private dimension of Trump, which I think will give people a great deal of not just

00:30:58.000 comfort, but enthusiasm in supporting him. Okay. You can find out where this is playing

00:31:04.280 near you. Just go to vindicatingtrump.com. That's the website. And find it wherever you can. Make

00:31:11.960 sure you bring some friends with you. Vindicatingtrump.com. Also, we'll have you back when the book comes

00:31:17.680 out. Thank you, Dinesh. Thank you. Appreciate it. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:31:31.000 The lovely and talented Chip Roy is with us now. Hello, Chip. Good morning, Glenn. How are you,

00:31:37.580 brother? I am. I'm really good. I wish people were taking the crisis that we are facing on the

00:31:47.300 border more seriously. I think it's getting better, but I don't think people understand what we are

00:31:53.780 actually facing. And the state of Texas came out and called a spade a spade. The Venezuelan gang 1.00

00:31:59.740 has now been, by Texas, called what it is, a terrorist organization.

00:32:07.120 Well, you know, look, I do think the election season, J.D. Vance last night, broadly speaking,

00:32:13.140 where we've been trying to drive the message over the last few years, is taking root. It's taken

00:32:17.740 time. We obviously have a media that doesn't want to help. They covered up. They basically make

00:32:23.060 excuses for an administration that is purposely abusing our borders to achieve their political

00:32:28.700 aims. And in the process, they are endangering Americans. Americans are dying, and migrants are 1.00

00:32:33.720 getting abused. J.D. handled that very well, pushing back on that last night. I know we'll talk about the

00:32:38.460 debate in a minute, but on the issue, it's really important, because this comes up a lot. I know you

00:32:43.980 get this a lot as a man of faith. We get pushed back on it, saying it's unchristian-like, right,

00:32:50.320 that we are not being compassionate. And you hear the Pope out there talking about this.

00:32:55.460 If we want to have our borders be secure and stop the flow of illegal immigration. I think that is

00:33:02.460 exactly backwards. The Bible is very specific about sovereignty, about God's plan, about the

00:33:09.300 nations. You don't have to look any further than the history of Israel itself and how they dealt

00:33:14.200 with boundaries. And there's plenty of scripture recognizing sovereignty in God's plans. But

00:33:19.800 importantly, it is inherently unchristian and uncompassionate to allow these children to be 1.00

00:33:26.440 abused, to allow people to be abused, to be put in harm's way, to be used by the cartels,

00:33:30.740 to be then put in slave labor, to be put in the sex trafficking trade, to have 320,000 kids get

00:33:36.960 misplaced by our bureaucratic government, who's being supposedly compassionate. It's ridiculous. 0.99

00:33:43.760 We need to stand up for a sovereign nation because we have a right to do so. Elon Musk says this very 0.51

00:33:49.060 well. Are you truly going to invite 7.7 billion people on this planet to come join the 300 million

00:33:56.540 plus Americans and say that we don't have borders? Well, then we don't have a nation.

00:34:00.480 It just defies common sense. So the rule of law matters. And this is the last point I'll say.

00:34:05.860 The rule of law matters for the very people that are attracted to come here. Because if we don't

00:34:10.040 have the rule of law, if we don't have a nation, then they have no place to go. The huddled masses

00:34:15.980 have no place to long for and strive for. And then we weaken the rest of the world. We weaken the

00:34:20.840 Western Hemisphere. We empower our enemies. And you have 35,000 Chinese nationals coming here. You have all 1.00

00:34:25.840 of these terrorist organizations. You point out the Venezuelan gangs. They're real. I went out to 0.99

00:34:30.180 Aurora, Colorado. I went and met with the residents of those apartments who lost their ability to have

00:34:34.860 a home, who didn't have a manager on site. Venezuelan gangs were changing the locks. This is all real.

00:34:40.580 It's true. And thankfully, people are waking up. Some of us have been screaming this for five years,

00:34:45.900 some of the Congress. Finally, I think the American people are finally waking up.

00:34:50.360 So tonight on the TV show, I'm exposing some of the things that are happening overseas where they're

00:34:56.820 training for activities here in the United States, in places like Iran. We are in serious trouble.

00:35:08.000 Our Department of Homeland Security has said that it's only a matter of time now and all of the lights

00:35:15.980 are flashing red. I'm surprised we haven't been hit yet, but I would expect one after the election

00:35:22.360 or shortly before the election. What is it going to take for people to understand this is not going to

00:35:35.560 get better unless you make a massive change in leadership?

00:35:39.600 Well, I hope people are starting to see that. You know, what we see right now is the destruction of America.

00:35:49.820 Nothing less than that. And I think it's really important. And I think I'm in a unique position to make that point.

00:35:57.260 You no doubt have listeners who have long fully supported President Trump, maybe a few that were,

00:36:02.420 no, I support DeSantis, but now they're back to Trump somewhere.

00:36:05.000 I was out there advocating for Ron DeSantis. He's a good friend and a good man. And I very much

00:36:10.220 respect him. I can't overstate how critical it is and important it is that Donald Trump get elected

00:36:17.940 on November 5th. I cannot overstate that. If we don't get him elected, I don't believe the Republic

00:36:26.280 can survive. I don't think it is any, I don't think that's hyperbole, Glenn. Like we live in a world

00:36:33.360 where people do this stuff for clicks. They do this stuff and they say outrageous things.

00:36:38.200 I don't like making statements like that. I believe in our country. Our country turns 250 years old

00:36:43.840 in a, in, in, in a 2026 and July, July 2nd, when we voted to break away from England,

00:36:49.760 I believe in the values of this country and the greatness of so many Americans.

00:36:54.820 But this, this administration, the current radical progressive Democrat regime

00:36:59.900 have completely disintegrated our safety, security, and culture. They've invited masses of people into 1.00

00:37:08.180 our country, released known criminals, known murderers. Think about that. You saw that data

00:37:15.160 that was released last week with the 13,000, 15,000 known murders and whatever. We've known this.

00:37:21.020 We finally get a report from the administration confirming it. We've known it because you can

00:37:25.920 see it with your own eyes. Laken Riley's family knows it. Jocelyn Nungarey's beautiful mom, Alexis

00:37:31.120 Nungarey knows it. Kayla Hamilton's family knows it. Rachel Morin's family knows it. Do I need to

00:37:37.720 keep going down the list? That's what they're doing to us. So to take it back, you asked the question,

00:37:43.660 what will it take? I think we're seeing what it will take. I hope in real time, but we're going to

00:37:50.040 have to show up on November 5th and as President Trump says, make it too big to rig. So let me ask

00:37:55.140 you that question. Um, FEMA doesn't seem to be pulling out all of the stops to help the people

00:38:03.260 in Appalachia. Um, that is Trump country. Uh, I don't know who is working on making sure that the

00:38:13.140 people who don't have roads, cars, electricity, or in five weeks going to be able to pull a,

00:38:20.500 a, a lever for whoever they want to vote for. Are we doing anything about that?

00:38:28.000 Well, without getting into specifics, uh, with some good friends of mine in North Carolina,

00:38:32.240 I've been having conversations with about that very point, ensuring that we're able to get all

00:38:37.400 of the people who want to have a say in their elections and should have a say in their elections,

00:38:40.700 despite the absolute tragedy that has occurred in the Western part of North Carolina and the

00:38:46.620 Eastern part of Tennessee. Do you want to forget that as well? I know it's Appalachia and, and I

00:38:51.500 know you don't, I just meant, you know, broadly, we all keep talking about North Carolina and,

00:38:54.500 you know, parts of Georgia, parts of Tennessee, they're all got hit hard. And, but, but to your

00:38:59.240 point, yes, some conversations are going on to make sure we try to focus on that. I've had some

00:39:03.560 good conversations with the national GOP and there's a limit to what you can do to some degree,

00:39:08.020 right? It's local, you know, local registrars and they have to figure out how to get it done.

00:39:12.640 Um, obviously right now we're trying to get, you know, Elon, God bless him is donating Starlink.

00:39:17.480 We're trying to get that stuff out. FEMA is nowhere to be found. The FCC and all of the

00:39:20.760 federal government that walked away from allowing Starlink to be given out to increase broadband.

00:39:25.440 Um, instead of sitting around and now these people don't have anything. So, uh, Elon, others,

00:39:30.560 private sector people are stepping up. And, and I will say that's one thing, you know,

00:39:34.080 go back to the, the Cajun Navy from a few years back, right? You know, came over to help during

00:39:39.280 the floods and the hurricanes. My friend, Corey Mills down at Florida, he's working with private

00:39:43.740 sectors and some guys that are, you know, ex-military, they're flying in flying helicopters

00:39:48.540 and they're just sticking their middle finger up to the bureaucracy, to the federal government

00:39:52.260 and local government, by the way, that wants to get in the way of it all. Um, that's the way we

00:39:56.580 save our country. It's not getting in this weird, like, you know, internet battles in DC. Um,

00:40:02.540 I do my best up here to try to basically the way some of my friends put it, we're kind of

00:40:07.100 prophets to a degree. We have to like, kind of go look at what's going on, send up the warning

00:40:11.960 signals. You know, I wrote a letter in April about the George Soros radio issue. Um, because I saw it

00:40:18.920 coming. That's our job, right? As you look out, you go put that stuff out there and you try to

00:40:24.500 highlight for the people so we can raise the issue because like it or not, I'm one 435th of one half of

00:40:31.140 one third of this crap hole and we have to build numbers and the American people in our system are

00:40:36.500 the ones that help us build the numbers. So that's, you know, what we try to do. I got off 0.98

00:40:40.320 target. Sorry. No, that's, that's fine. Uh, are we going to actually look into the funding of those

00:40:45.720 George Soros, uh, funders? Yeah. I mean, we're, you know, I we're, we're looking into it. Um,

00:40:52.340 like I said, I rose the issue off, got some committee folks looking at it. Um, trying to figure out

00:40:56.580 there's some lawsuits, you know, some of our friends at America first legal, there's going to

00:41:00.380 be, I think some radio stations and some others that would have standing. We're trying to figure

00:41:03.480 out who would have standing. Um, I don't have standing. I don't think we're trying to figure

00:41:06.840 that out, how we can at least litigate it to try to stop it because what they're doing

00:41:10.420 is unprecedented. It's unlawful. We believe, uh, I have standing because I'm on some of those

00:41:16.060 stations. Do I have standing? You may be, and you might need to have that. I'm happy. Let's have

00:41:21.020 that conversation. You might have standing because we need to elevate that issue. It's a huge, huge

00:41:26.020 issue. You all, you know, better than I do. And so, um, you know, look, I was talking to Brendan

00:41:31.140 Carr and the FCC. He's been one of the leaders on this. I'm sure you've followed it. And he's been

00:41:38.040 putting this out there. I said, dude, what are we doing? He goes, God, we got to win in November

00:41:40.860 because we're outvoted. You know, they lost three to two. Uh, it was a bad decision, but that's what

00:41:45.300 happens. Like the people that run FERC, it's like the people that run everything else. If we don't win in

00:41:49.560 November, back to the point, you know, five minutes ago, we lose the country. That's what's

00:41:54.680 at stake. It's things like this, the FCC. Yeah. Tulsi Gabbard said to me last night, I was talking

00:42:01.380 to her after the debate and she said, uh, Glenn, this, this is all about freedom of speech. The,

00:42:06.520 the last thing that JD Vance said in the debate was this is about freedom of speech. And it is,

00:42:12.640 it, it, it, we are going to lose freedom of speech if they are reelected to another term.

00:42:20.560 And we are going to lose our very way of life as a result. And we're going to be attacked on our

00:42:26.600 second amendment. We're going to be attacked on all of the things upon which our nation was founded.

00:42:31.180 These rights come from our creator. They are our rights. The government that was created by the

00:42:35.840 founders recognize those rights. They didn't give us those rights. We have to flex our muscle as

00:42:41.780 people who, as the declaration lists out as Jefferson and to some degree, some help from Adams and

00:42:48.060 Franklin. As those guys wrote that out, it was very clear what they meant. Okay. And, and we are

00:42:54.620 supposed to live freely and we need this government to reflect that because we love our country. We

00:43:01.280 look at the flag with pride, we look at the history and all that it stood for. I believe we can take it

00:43:05.980 back, but let's remember we have a right to live free. That's the bottom line. Um, it, it, we, we,

00:43:12.500 that's what it actually boils down to at the end. Um, and so, uh, this election is going to decide

00:43:21.200 whether or not these 50 states can stand united and be a strong, strong and sovereign nation. This election

00:43:29.760 is going to decide that again, I don't like engaging hyperbole. Um, but when the founders talk about the

00:43:36.820 right to pursue happiness, um, we we've got to pursue happiness. I want it to be with this country. We

00:43:42.920 better win in November to make that happen. Okay. Uh, Chip, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. God

00:43:48.120 bless you.
