00:02:00.160 Welcome to the Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment.
00:02:15.620 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:18.380 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program from the Mountain West.
00:02:26.600 We're glad that you've joined us today.
00:02:28.340 There are a few things that I want to talk to you about.
00:02:31.340 One is Eric Weinstein.
00:02:35.240 He was on the Modern Wisdom podcast.
00:02:39.120 I don't know if you saw this.
00:02:39.900 It was a very good podcast.
00:02:41.460 But Eric said something that I think is worth repeating, that he's not sure Trump will be allowed to win.
00:02:51.440 We go there in 60 seconds.
00:02:53.700 First, let me ask you a question.
00:02:56.220 Can I ask you a question, man?
00:02:57.240 Let me ask you a question.
00:02:58.380 If you're getting up every day, are you living the life you want to live?
00:03:04.440 Are you doing the things you want to do?
00:03:06.060 And if not, is it because you're living with pain?
00:03:08.680 And see, mine, I used to be pain, and then I just started heroin.
00:03:13.240 And now I don't live my fullest life because I'm addicted to heroin.
00:03:17.160 No, that was one way I was thinking about going.
00:03:19.900 And then my wife said, hey, before heroin, why don't you try Relief Factor?
00:03:23.640 And I was like, really?
00:03:24.880 That won't work.
00:03:25.940 And it did.
00:03:27.240 And it doesn't addict me like heroin would.
00:03:31.160 So I can live my best life, you know?
00:03:33.900 And not trying to, you know, fish drugs out of a toilet at some point.
00:03:37.940 It's Relief Factor.
00:03:39.440 It's a 100% drug-free daily supplement that helps your body fight pain.

00:03:52.340 that addresses the inflammation in your body, which is where the pain starts.

00:04:06.500 Now we're going to get sued by all the drug cartels.
00:04:09.740 I know.
00:04:10.540 I know.
00:04:11.320 Hey, you're giving misinformation about our very good product, heroin.
00:04:18.520 Yeah.
00:04:19.100 All right.
00:04:20.300 Hello, Stu.
00:04:21.040 How are you?
00:04:21.620 Glenn.
00:04:22.060 Very well.
00:04:22.500 How are you?
00:04:23.260 Yeah.
00:04:23.660 Oh, well, I'm very good.
00:04:26.380 Let me, I mean, for being strung out on heroin.
00:04:28.880 Let me play, did you hear Eric Weinstein, what, the podcast he was on, Modern Wisdom?
00:04:36.680 Did you hear that?
00:04:37.020 I didn't hear the clip.
00:04:37.740 I was reading about it, though.
00:04:39.400 Okay.
00:04:39.780 You really, this is a good podcast that you should probably listen to.
00:04:44.460 A lot of wisdom there.
00:04:45.820 A lot of wisdom.
00:04:46.320 And it's kind of what we've been saying for a while now, but I don't know.
00:04:54.200 Eric says it, and it just seems much, much smarter.
00:04:57.440 It's kind of like, you know, Eric is much, much smarter, but if he had an English accent,
00:05:03.860 it'd be game over.
00:05:04.940 Everybody would listen to everything he has to say.
00:05:07.360 So here he is on Donald Trump.
00:05:10.020 Listen.
00:05:10.920 I don't know whether, I don't know whether Donald Trump will be allowed to become president.
00:05:20.560 What'd you mean by that?
00:05:24.740 I think that there's a remarkable story and we're in a funny game, which is, are we allowed
00:05:30.880 to say what that story is?
00:05:32.960 Because to say it, to analyze it, to name it is to bring it into view.
00:05:41.880 I think we don't understand why the censorship is behaving the way it is.
00:05:46.360 We don't understand why it's in the shadows.
00:05:48.440 We don't understand why our news is acting in a bizarre fashion.
00:05:51.640 So let's just set the stage, given that that was in February.
00:05:54.560 There is something that I think Mike Benz is just referred to as the rules-based international
00:06:07.080 order.
00:06:07.720 It's an interlocking series of agreements, tacit understandings, explicit understandings,
00:06:12.960 clandestine understandings about how the most important structures keep the world free of
00:06:20.160 war and keep markets open.
00:06:24.560 And there has been a system in place, whether understood explicitly or behind the scenes or
00:06:33.940 implicitly, that says that the purpose of the two American parties is to prune the field
00:06:41.520 of populist candidates so that whatever two candidates exist in a face-off are both acceptable
00:06:50.580 to that world order.
00:06:52.900 So what you're trying to do from the point of view, let's take it from the point of view
00:06:56.880 of, let's say, the State Department, the intelligence community, the Defense Department,
00:07:00.960 and major corporations that have to do with international issues from arms trade to, oh, I don't know,
00:07:08.960 food.
00:07:09.220 They have a series of agreements that are fragile and could be overturned if a president entered
00:07:18.440 the Oval Office who didn't agree with them in the mood of the country was, why do we pay
00:07:23.240 taxes into these structures?
00:07:24.720 Why are we hamstrung?
00:07:25.820 Why aren't we a free people?
00:07:28.060 So what the two parties would do is that they would run primaries.
00:07:31.320 You have populist candidates and you'd pre-commit the populist candidates to support the candidates
00:07:36.760 who won the primaries.
00:07:39.460 As long as that took place and you had two candidates that were both acceptable to the
00:07:45.240 international order, that is, that they aren't going to rethink NAFTA or NATO or what have
00:07:48.860 you, we called that democracy.
00:07:52.920 And so democracy was the illusion of choice, what's called magician's choice, where the choice
00:07:57.660 is not actually, you know, pick a card, any card, but somehow the magician makes sure that
00:08:01.520 the card that you pick is the one that he knows.
00:08:04.560 In that situation, you have magician's choice in the primaries, and then you'd have the duopoly
00:08:09.860 field, two candidates, either of which was acceptable, and you could actually afford to hold an election.
00:08:15.160 And the populists would vote, and that way the international order wasn't put at risk every
00:08:20.240 four years because you can't have alliances that are subject to the whim of, um, the people
00:08:27.260 in plebiscites.
00:08:29.660 So under that structure, everything was going fine until 2016.
00:08:34.080 And then the first candidate ever to not hold, um, any position in the military nor position
00:08:40.720 in government, uh, in the history of the Republic to enter the Oval Office, Donald Trump broke
00:08:44.700 through the primary structure.
00:08:45.860 So then there was a full court press, okay, we only have one candidate that's acceptable
00:08:49.860 to the international order.
00:08:51.540 Donald Trump will be under, um, constant pressure that he's a loser, he's a wild man, he's an idiot,
00:08:58.300 and, and he's under control of the Russians.
00:09:01.760 And then he was going to be, you know, a 20 to one underdog, and then he wins.
00:09:08.960 And there was no precedent for this.
00:09:12.580 They learned their lesson.
00:09:13.820 You cannot afford to have candidates who are not acceptable to the international order
00:09:19.220 and continue to have these alliances.
00:09:21.240 This is an unsolved problem.
00:09:27.180 Now I've been saying for a long time, they're going to kill him because it upsets their plans
00:09:37.140 and he's the one standing in the way because he won't play their game.
00:09:40.560 Um, now Eric may have expressed, express this in a, uh, more understandable way.
00:09:50.580 Um, but he's absolutely right.
00:09:53.900 One hundred percent right.
00:09:57.560 Um, and that's why honestly they're playing the game in the democratic party where you didn't
00:10:03.920 get a choice.
00:10:04.720 You didn't have a primary, you didn't have a primary and that's because the president's
00:10:10.780 going to run, but the president can't run.
00:10:13.240 So now you didn't have a primary and you have the most unpopular candidate ever.
00:10:20.400 She's never been, she was never popular.
00:10:22.920 She wasn't popular just two months ago, but now, oh my gosh, she's hung the moon in the stars.
00:10:27.420 And we don't know anything about what she plans on doing.
00:10:32.280 Okay.
00:10:33.260 All right.
00:10:34.200 But she won't upset the international order.
00:10:37.100 She won't upset the, uh, the plans that places like the W E F and the United Nations,
00:10:44.360 and now all of the Western leadership has come up with.
00:10:48.440 But you'll notice those plans are extremely unpopular with the people all around the world.
00:10:53.880 Uh, every, every Western country now is in turmoil because they're doing the same thing
00:11:00.340 to them that they're doing to us.
00:11:01.960 And that is collapse us.
00:11:05.400 Now, I believe this to be true.
00:11:09.060 I believe they'll do anything to stop him from winning.
00:11:13.480 Uh, they would put us into chaos.
00:11:16.060 Uh, they would put us into civil war before they would have him win.
00:11:20.220 They put us in world war before they'd have him.
00:11:22.520 Um, uh, and Donald Trump, I just, please, Mr. President, please, they've tried to kill
00:11:30.680 you once, please don't make it worse.
00:11:37.340 Don't make it worse.
00:11:39.740 Yesterday, he was on a podcast and he was on the Lex Friedman, uh, podcast.
00:11:45.300 And, uh, he got a lot of questions from Lex on, you know, foreign policy, et cetera, et cetera,
00:11:51.660 the future going forward.
00:11:54.580 You know, he, he started talking about, you know, the Kennedy files and how the Kennedy files,
00:12:01.240 he kept classified because, uh, it was protection of people, which I'm not sure is exactly accurate.
00:12:09.800 I don't know what's in the Kennedy files, but I've talked to people who have seen it and
00:12:14.480 they have led me to believe that it is not about people.
00:12:17.640 It's about institutions, but who knows?
00:12:20.660 Um, but Trump said, you know, I probably would not release the Kennedy files.
00:12:27.500 However, uh, Stu, what's the one thing you could say as a presidential candidate that's
00:12:35.540 pretty much guaranteed that you, uh, you're dead.
00:12:41.140 Well, um, you're going to release the Epstein files.
00:12:45.220 Yes.
00:12:45.820 Yes.
00:12:46.220 And that would be, yes, yes, but I am going to release the Epstein files, uh, and the
00:12:52.840 client list.
00:12:54.220 Uh, it's very strange for a lot of people that the list of clients that, uh, went to
00:12:59.720 the island has not been made public.
00:13:02.020 Yeah.
00:13:02.580 It's interesting, isn't it?
00:13:04.120 Said Donald Trump.
00:13:05.560 It probably will be.
00:13:09.180 He said, uh, I'll take a look at it, uh, on the, uh, client list, but yeah, I'm inclined
00:13:17.040 to do the, uh, Epstein thing.
00:13:18.780 I'd have no problem with releasing that list.
00:13:21.700 Okay.
00:13:22.440 All right.
00:13:23.720 All right.
00:13:25.360 Remember Donald Trump is definitely not suicidal, but if they could put him in jail, he might
00:13:32.200 become suicidal and some cameras might go down.
00:13:35.200 Oh my gosh.
00:13:36.380 Woo.
00:13:37.620 It's happened before.
00:13:38.360 This is, uh, oh, it did.
00:13:40.700 Yeah.
00:13:41.020 Yeah.
00:13:41.320 It's happened before.
00:13:42.220 Really?
00:13:42.600 But not related to Epstein.
00:13:44.060 No.
00:13:44.400 Right.
00:13:44.660 I'm sure not.
00:13:45.300 No.
00:13:45.620 Okay.
00:13:46.000 Yeah.
00:13:46.180 The philanthropist.
00:13:47.320 No, no, no.
00:13:50.240 The philanthropist.
00:13:53.000 Yeah.
00:13:53.860 Uh, do we have this clip here?
00:13:54.920 Do you want to hear it, Glenn?
00:13:56.440 Yeah.
00:13:56.880 Yeah.
00:13:57.060 Here we go.
00:13:57.380 Um, but a lot of big people went to that island, but fortunately I was not one of them.
00:14:05.080 It's just very strange for a lot of people that, uh, the list of clients that went to
00:14:10.700 the island has not been made public.
00:14:13.200 Yeah.
00:14:14.140 It's, it's very interesting, isn't it?
00:14:16.900 Probably will be, by the way.
00:14:18.800 Probably.
00:14:19.100 So if you were able to, you'll be.
00:14:20.960 Yeah.
00:14:21.220 I'd certainly take a look at it.
00:14:22.940 Now, Kennedy's interesting because it's so many years ago.
00:14:25.340 You know, you know, they do that for danger too, because, you know, endangers certain
00:14:30.560 people, et cetera, et cetera.
00:14:32.380 So Kennedy, uh, is very different from the Epstein thing, but yeah, I'd be inclined to
00:14:39.240 do the Epstein.
00:14:39.980 I'd have no problem with it.
00:14:43.020 Hmm.
00:14:44.500 Hmm.
00:14:45.420 Um, it's currently with, uh, the FBI and it's under the control of one person at the
00:14:52.400 FBI.
00:14:52.840 So what could possibly go wrong with that?
00:14:56.340 Uh, if it disappears, uh, that would be unfortunate, wouldn't it, Stu?
00:15:01.260 And completely unexpected.
00:15:04.720 Yeah.
00:15:05.220 That'd be shocking.
00:15:05.980 That would be a shocking development.
00:15:07.360 Would be.
00:15:07.640 You know, sometimes, look, sometimes people lose documents, you know,
00:15:12.100 happens all the time.
00:15:13.460 Oops.
00:15:13.880 I just dropped it in the shredder.
00:15:15.300 Yeah.
00:15:15.540 Uh, I didn't, my daughter lost her homework just last week and, uh, it was, you know,
00:15:20.320 it was a rough day at school.
00:15:21.720 I think, uh, you know, this, this happens to people all, all the time.
00:15:26.140 There are shredders all over the place.
00:15:28.600 All.
00:15:28.680 So they, you sometimes, sometimes you get up in the morning and you, uh, you almost
00:15:32.900 actually, you're thinking, I'm going to step into the shower and you almost step into the
00:15:36.380 shredder.
00:15:36.780 It happens.
00:15:37.300 It happens.
00:15:37.680 It happens.
00:15:38.140 It happens.
00:15:38.820 All the time.
00:15:39.480 All the time.
00:15:39.780 I mean, another example is, I mean, you, you noted yesterday that your neighbor's property
00:15:44.040 was on fire.
00:15:44.940 What happened if a fire broke out?
00:15:46.620 What happened where that document was?
00:15:50.160 Oh man.
00:15:51.000 In the safe.
00:15:52.480 In the safe at the FBI.
00:15:54.020 Yeah.
00:15:54.300 Sometimes, you know, fires can happen anywhere, Glenn.
00:15:56.640 Uh, you know, sometimes there's little fires that just start up in safes and, and, you know.
00:16:01.220 I knew we shouldn't have put it in the same safe where we keep the matches and the gremlin.
00:16:06.620 You know?
00:16:07.360 Exactly.
00:16:07.960 I don't know what we were thinking.
00:16:09.700 What were we thinking?
00:16:11.700 Ah, that's too bad.
00:16:12.660 Uh, hey, some misinformation here I want to point out.
00:16:16.620 Um, uh, view fans left divided by major changes to ABC's daytime show as Whoopi Goldberg and
00:16:22.940 co-hosts returned for a brand new season.
00:16:25.200 Uh, just want to give you, uh, you know, people say it a little time.
00:16:29.020 How do you know when a story is true or not?
00:16:31.200 This one's pretty easy to point out.
00:16:33.040 Uh, just really in the first three letters, the view fans, uh, there are no fans of the
00:16:39.180 view.
00:16:39.800 Uh, and I would just like to correct that, uh, story, uh, and make sure that, you know,
00:16:44.880 we are on top of misinformation.
00:16:47.600 All right.
00:16:47.780 Let me tell you about Lear Capital.
00:16:50.260 Take a little journey with me through time, will you?
00:16:52.560 It's September, 1929.
00:16:54.120 Man named Roger Babson has just predicted that very soon the stock market is going to
00:16:59.240 crash.
00:16:59.700 He knew the signs and he knew what time it was.
00:17:03.320 You know what happened when he made his prediction?
00:17:07.040 Nothing.
00:17:08.080 Nobody listened to him because nobody wants to hear that stuff.
00:17:11.080 Nobody wants to believe it.
00:17:12.160 You know, they believed him about a month and a half later, uh, because you know, the,
00:17:16.440 the market crashed and, uh, the great depression began.
00:17:20.300 Listen, I'm no Roger Babson, but I don't think you need to be a Roger Babson to know the signs.
00:17:26.380 Do you know what time it is?
00:17:28.120 You can almost hear it blowing in the wind.
00:17:31.440 We don't have the luxury of putting our heads in the sand and pretending this isn't going on.
00:17:37.440 It is.
00:17:38.080 And now, now is the time to buy precious metals.
00:17:42.320 May I recommend Lear Capital?

00:18:23.340 It's 800-957-GOLD.
00:18:26.340 10 seconds.
00:18:26.960 Station ID.
00:18:34.980 Yeah.
00:18:36.540 Yeah.
00:18:37.940 Uh, well, uh, what else is going on?
00:18:41.240 Oh, you know, um, the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, uh, has, uh, it's weird.
00:18:47.120 Um, they've, they've overturned the knife ban in, uh, in Massachusetts.
00:18:55.140 Apparently switchblades, uh, and big folding knives can't be banned.
00:18:59.720 Covered by the Second Amendment.
00:19:02.620 In Massachusetts.
00:19:04.400 Well, it's interesting because, I mean, we do talk about the Second Amendment only as it relates to firearms.
00:19:10.800 But it doesn't say firearms, right?
00:19:13.320 It says the right to bear arms.
00:19:15.940 Yep.
00:19:16.540 So, uh, right to bear arms, the people to keep and bear arms.
00:19:20.140 Firearms are just one example of, uh, you know, uh, what dictionaries define as a means such as a weapon of offense or defense.
00:19:30.300 So, the state's highest court struck down the law on, uh, switchblades and, uh, said, you know, that goes for stun guns and everything else.
00:19:40.920 Now, Massachusetts, you know, uh, isn't the bastion of freedom.
00:19:49.440 Uh, you know, they, they, they do, uh, they, they still have restrictions on, uh, guns, knives, blow guns.
00:19:59.960 Black, can you imagine?
00:20:04.320 You have to actually outlaw the blowgun.
00:20:08.860 Uh, I think those were only really used on like Gilligan's Island.
00:20:13.000 Anyway, blackjacks, uh, nunchucks, brass knuckles, uh, and even, and this one is really dangerous, Stu.
00:20:21.680 Uh, it is illegal for you to wear studded leather armbands in Massachusetts.
00:20:28.340 Really?
00:20:29.140 Uh, so, yeah.
00:20:29.920 I have a whole collection and when I bring them to Massachusetts, I have to make sure I keep them in my safe.
00:20:35.680 I know, I always have to, I always have to check.
00:20:38.320 Can I wear my studded armbands, uh, in that state if I'm traveling there?
00:20:42.760 Uh, and, uh, no is the answer in Massachusetts.
00:20:45.900 So.
00:20:46.400 You know, as a, as a big, uh, I'm a, you know, I do a lot of roller derby in my spare time and, uh, the, the, the studded armbands.
00:20:53.600 Roller?
00:20:53.880 Yeah.
00:20:54.800 Oh yeah.
00:20:55.120 Really?
00:20:55.580 I didn't know roller derby was still a, really?
00:20:58.280 Oh yeah.
00:20:58.720 Yeah.
00:20:59.280 Huge roller derby guy.
00:21:01.080 And because of that, I have to have studded armbands.
00:21:03.740 But when you, when I have an away game in Massachusetts, normally I've had to take them off, but now I'll be free to execute my.
00:21:10.520 So you're in a, like a, you're, you're in a competitive roller derby club.
00:21:14.140 I mean, I would, I would say the competitive, I mean, I mean, I'm in the, the National Association of, of roller derby participants.
00:21:23.200 Yeah.
00:21:23.600 And you're, if, if I'm not mistaken, the name of your group is the Pussy Willows.
00:21:28.240 Is that?
00:21:29.060 It is the Pussy Willows.
00:21:30.280 Yes.
00:21:30.460 Yeah.
00:21:30.880 It's a great organization.
00:21:32.260 Fighting Pussy Willows.
00:21:33.240 That's, uh, that's amazing.
00:21:35.060 And it's amazing.
00:21:35.740 You would think it's like the type of, uh, it's the type of plant you sing.
00:21:38.920 It's, is it nice?
00:21:39.540 Is it, is it the soft and, and genteel?
00:21:43.060 Yeah.
00:21:43.420 Until you, until you start.
00:21:44.660 And get a stick.
00:21:45.180 Jagman one in your eye.
00:21:46.560 And then, and then.
00:21:48.080 Put an eye out.
00:21:48.640 Yeah.
00:21:48.920 That's us.
00:21:49.700 That's us.
00:21:49.920 Like you do with the studded, uh, cuffs.
00:21:52.600 May I ask you, is roller derby still actually done anywhere?
00:21:56.600 Yeah.
00:21:56.820 I believe it is actually.
00:21:58.240 Really?
00:21:58.560 Is it, was it, am I remembering this wrong?
00:22:00.620 Um, that I think the Cleveland Guardians, when they, they changed their name from the Cleveland
00:22:05.400 Indians, because as you know, that's hateful.
00:22:06.820 And I believe there was a, wasn't it a roller derby team that had the name Cleveland Guardians
00:22:12.000 at the time when they changed it?
00:22:14.400 Am I remembering this right?
00:22:15.580 Yeah.
00:22:16.500 Wait, this is, I'm sorry.
00:22:18.380 I'm not a sports guy.
00:22:20.180 The Cleveland Indians are no more?
00:22:23.000 Uh, yes.
00:22:23.380 This is a couple of years old, Glenn, this story.
00:22:25.380 I hate to break it to you here live on the air.
00:22:27.360 Cleveland, I'm, I, how did I miss that?
00:22:29.920 I, what the hell?
00:22:32.200 Yes.
00:22:32.760 What the hell Cleveland?
00:22:33.760 Yes.
00:22:34.260 What the hell is wrong with, you know what?
00:22:36.800 But, that wasn't the people of Cleveland.
00:22:39.080 No.
00:22:39.400 The people of Cleveland wouldn't put up with it.
00:22:41.900 That was just like, you know what?
00:22:43.400 That's like, uh, Minnesota changing the Minnesota state flag to look like Somalia's flag.
00:22:49.760 That's what that is.
00:22:50.880 Tell you that right now.
00:22:52.540 Cleveland Indians.
00:22:54.720 You'll always be the Cleveland Indians to me.
00:22:57.860 Well, I know I'm a little late to the game.
00:23:00.500 Yeah.
00:23:00.680 But, we have more Glenn angrily reacting to multiple year-old stories coming up.
00:23:08.780 Glenn, back.
00:23:11.180 I've been a little busy, okay?
00:23:13.000 I haven't been paying attention to my sports team names.
00:23:16.960 Uh, all right.
00:23:17.580 Let me tell you about, uh, Leaf Home Gutter.
00:23:19.540 Um, we had a wildfire here at my, uh, ranch the other day.
00:23:23.620 Uh, it was, uh, kind of a near miss.
00:23:25.640 It was just, I mean, it was on the adjoining property of mine.
00:23:28.460 If the wind had been blowing, uh, the way Stu wanted it to blow, uh, it probably would have made it,
00:23:33.820 it could have made it to my, uh, made it to my house if the wind was stronger and blowing my way.
00:23:38.180 Uh, it was something we had been worried about for a long time.
00:23:42.460 Uh, but my house is still sanding, which means that you got to clean all the gutters out.
00:23:50.580 You know what I mean?
00:23:51.640 I mean, you could burn your house down or you could clean the gutters.
00:23:57.120 Or, there is a new option now.

00:24:32.260 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:24:47.020 We're very glad that you joined us today because we can help you make sense of the world.
00:24:52.440 First of all, let me just say, when you've got a teacher's union, what should be their primary focus?
00:24:58.960 Okay, teachers, right?
00:25:03.100 Okay, Stu, play, I mean, for the love of Pete, can you keep up at this point?
00:25:07.700 I can try.
00:25:08.300 It's not that hard.
00:25:08.720 It's just a difficult question there.
00:25:10.720 All right.
00:25:11.200 So, when you have a teacher's union, you want the head of your teacher's union to be talking about the things that relate to your child's school.
00:25:19.920 And that's why Randy Weingarten came out yesterday and talked about Hamas and how Israel is responsible for the death of these hostages because they just won't compromise and won't make peace with Hamas.
00:25:37.420 And I think that's, you know, that's totally school-related and right.
00:25:44.560 There is an equation here, I guess, which is, you know, Hamas takes hostages plus Hamas murders hostages plus Hamas says no to ceasefire agreements over and over and over again equals Israel's responsible for the murders.
00:26:03.480 Well, that's one way to look at it.
00:26:05.620 That's the equation.
00:26:06.820 Sure.
00:26:07.300 I mean, look, let's be honest.
00:26:10.260 If you don't understand this, it's because you're a bigoted Nazi.
00:26:15.800 Really?
00:26:16.560 Because, I mean, it seems to me pretty obvious that the people that take the hostage and murder the hostage are going to be responsible for the murder of the hostage.
00:26:25.180 That's how I would see it.
00:26:26.860 I mean, I'm going to be open-minded with you and say that's one way to look at it.
00:26:30.580 But, look, let me explain it.
00:26:32.520 I mean, first of all, we know that this is a teacher's issue, right?
00:26:36.240 Right.
00:26:36.940 I mean, Hamas kills children.
00:26:39.620 Well, they kill children.
00:26:41.040 And if we have Jews here, probably some group will have to probably kill our children, okay, because of Jews.
00:26:47.720 We all know that.
00:26:48.800 Why would Jews have anything to do with that?
00:26:51.080 So that explains why she's talking about it and just in common sense, plain old, you know, everyday American language.
00:27:00.400 But, Stu, you seem to be having a problem with this.
00:27:03.260 So let me take you – well, let me just – let me take you to racism because this really boils down to racism as it is.
00:27:13.600 Because, you know, we all know how much the Jews just are always harping on, you know, your genealogy or your, you know, your family heritage.
00:27:30.820 The Jews are doing that?
00:27:32.620 All the time, Stu.
00:27:34.400 All the time.
00:27:34.600 Because I see Hamas, you know, pretty much putting it in their charter that –
00:27:38.600 No, no.
00:27:39.220 That's because they live so close to the Jews.
00:27:41.240 They've just picked it up.
00:27:42.040 So we know that this is all about racism.
00:27:45.060 Okay.
00:27:45.380 Are you against racism?
00:27:47.020 Yes or no, Stu?
00:27:47.820 Of course I'm against racism.
00:27:49.240 Yes.
00:27:49.300 Of course you are.
00:27:49.980 So the way to stop racism is to get to the root of it, which we know is white people, all right?
00:27:56.140 White people are the inventors of racism.
00:27:59.480 The inventor?
00:28:01.340 Yeah, they invented it.
00:28:01.980 The inventors of racism?
00:28:03.120 Yeah, they invented it.
00:28:04.200 They came up with it.
00:28:05.020 It was like 1615, something like that.
00:28:08.980 They were all getting on a boat, and they were like, hey, let's find some people that are different than us, and let's give them smallpox blankets.
00:28:14.460 So wait, there was no problems with race before 1615 in our history?
00:28:19.200 No, no, no.
00:28:19.540 Well, except for the Jews.
00:28:21.260 I mean, they got themselves entangled in with the Egyptians, and the Egyptians had to take them as slaves because they were just – they were stirring the pot, you know?
00:28:32.440 And that's the only thing you can do with Jews.
00:28:35.340 So anyway, the best way to fight racism is –
00:28:40.440 To not be racist.
00:28:42.480 Become racist yourself, okay?
00:28:45.180 What?
00:28:45.360 Against white people because that'll show them.
00:28:48.880 That'll show them.
00:28:49.920 So it's the same kind of logic here with Randy.
00:28:53.180 You know, if you hate children being killed and babies being raped, you got to make peace with the Jews, or the Jews has to make peace with those people.
00:29:09.420 Otherwise, we're just going to have to destroy all of them.
00:29:12.720 So that's pretty much it.
00:29:14.100 That I don't think I understand at all, I'm going to have to say.
00:29:18.600 Because you're not part of the new normal.
00:29:21.400 You haven't accepted and fully embraced the new normal.
00:29:25.960 Yes, you are right, Randy.
00:29:28.520 Yes, you are right.
00:29:29.380 Yeah, right.
00:29:30.480 Once you do that, Stu, your life will be so great.
00:29:33.020 You'll be in the in crowd.
00:29:35.100 Nobody will hassle you, unless you disagree with something else that they come up with later.
00:29:39.840 Then, of course, they'll have you killed as well.
00:29:42.180 But for a while, you'll be mighty popular.
00:29:45.280 Yeah, I bet.
00:29:46.860 I just don't – I really don't get it.
00:29:48.440 This is really what they're saying.
00:29:49.740 It's not just Randy Weingart.
00:29:50.900 It's like the entire media.
00:29:53.060 It's the –
00:29:53.540 I know.
00:29:54.520 How do you make peace with people that say, I'm going to kill you?
00:30:01.180 Okay?
00:30:01.620 This is like – honestly, this is like you having, I don't know, some illegal Venezuelan gang living right next to you.
00:30:11.000 And every night, they're opening up the window, and they're looking at you through your window, and they're like, I'm going to kill you.
00:30:18.580 I'm going to kill you.
00:30:20.160 And then they come over, and they set your house on fire.
00:30:24.900 You're lucky enough to put it out, but you're not lucky enough to save three of your children.
00:30:30.480 You had five, so you got two left.
00:30:32.960 But they brutally raped and murdered your children.
00:30:35.860 And then the police coming over and saying, would you two knock it off right now?
00:30:40.200 And they want to make peace.
00:30:42.800 And every time the police turn their back, they're like, I'm going to kill you.
00:30:47.540 And then everybody in your neighborhood going, what is your problem with these Venezuelan gangs?
00:30:52.000 You are just so rude.
00:30:53.640 You're so mean.
00:30:54.760 This could all be end if you just make peace with them.
00:30:59.120 Listen to what they're saying.
00:31:00.220 I'm going to make a deal with you that I don't want, and then I'm going to kill you.
00:31:07.180 That's what's happening.
00:31:08.580 And I don't even think.
00:31:09.300 It's that clear.
00:31:10.340 I would say it's actually more clear than that, because I have yet to hear them deny they want to kill them.
00:31:15.940 I don't.
00:31:16.200 Right?
00:31:16.420 There's not.
00:31:17.440 There's no hiding it.
00:31:18.580 And they don't want a peace.
00:31:19.360 They don't want peace.
00:31:20.280 They're still publicly saying, no, they don't want peace.
00:31:21.640 They never ask Hamas if they want a ceasefire agreement.
00:31:25.920 And a ceasefire agreement would mean they also ceased fire.
00:31:30.220 And they don't want anything to do with that arrangement.
00:31:32.440 They want all the Jews dead.
00:31:34.920 So it doesn't, like, this is nonsensical.
00:31:38.080 And the fact that we're at this point where, you know, these protesters, even in Israel, are coming after their own government saying,
00:31:47.080 we should just kind of, like, try to get along with Hamas and, like, let's see what happens.
00:31:51.400 This has gone on long enough.
00:31:53.040 They don't want to.
00:31:54.320 No, they don't want to.
00:31:55.000 They don't want to get along.
00:31:56.720 I mean, you know, it takes both sides to want to stop killing.
00:32:01.780 One side will.
00:32:03.000 The other side won't.
00:32:04.560 I don't know how difficult this is.
00:32:06.580 But, I mean, it's hard.
00:32:07.840 I mean, the Democrats, their head must hurt all the time of thinking about all of this stuff so deeply.
00:32:15.200 For instance, right now, the Republicans are saying, we're not going to give you any more money to spend as a government unless you pass the SAFE Act.
00:32:28.120 Now, what is the SAFE Act?
00:32:29.600 The SAFE Act is just a simple, easy law.
00:32:33.800 If you are not a citizen, you cannot vote.
00:32:37.240 Now, that should be really easy, right?
00:32:41.960 I mean, because we all love democracy.
00:32:45.520 We're all here.
00:32:46.560 We want to make sure every vote counts.
00:32:48.860 And only the votes, the only votes that count are the legitimate votes, right?
00:32:53.980 We're all for that.
00:32:55.500 And we all know that if you're an immigrant that has not been naturalized, you can't vote.
00:33:02.540 If you're not a citizen, you cannot vote.
00:33:05.240 But the Democrats are against that because they say it's just a waste of time and an unnecessary law because it's already on the books.
00:33:14.680 Well, if it's already on the books, then why don't you just pass it again?
00:33:18.500 I mean, we got a lot of redundant laws.
00:33:22.560 Yeah.
00:33:22.680 A lot of them.
00:33:23.700 And you think it would be a political benefit, right?
00:33:25.520 Maybe people in the middle would say, oh, maybe they are taking this seriously.
00:33:28.680 But, of course, they don't want it because this would actually make it more difficult for people in this situation to vote.
00:33:36.180 And if the Republicans don't stand their ground and allow the government to be shut down, I mean, we know.
00:33:44.620 We all know what the press is going to say.
00:33:49.060 We know they're going to blame it on the Republicans.
00:33:50.920 They don't care about the senior citizens.
00:33:53.020 We know that.
00:33:55.020 But you've got to take a stand.
00:33:58.340 If they will not ban illegals from voting, what is the good of voting?
00:34:06.460 I mean, they're saying to you, oh, no, we're going to let legals vote.
00:34:11.800 That's what they're saying.
00:34:13.120 You've got to take a stand on this.
00:34:16.720 And the American people, you've got to call Congress today.
00:34:21.680 You've got to call them this week, next week.
00:34:23.700 You've got to call them and just say, you take a hard stand on this one.
00:34:27.140 I don't care.
00:34:27.740 There is no government if you don't have some rules on the vote.
00:34:34.200 So you would advocate them trying to get a government shutdown before the election?
00:34:38.640 I mean, there's no chance they're going to do that, right?
00:34:40.580 Of course not, because they're weasels.
00:34:43.840 But they absolutely should.
00:34:46.000 They absolutely should.
00:34:46.960 You don't think there would be some electoral problems with that strategy?
00:34:51.700 What do you mean?
00:34:52.700 Well, I mean, people don't tend to like the government shutdowns.
00:34:55.440 They're never popular.
00:34:57.800 And that's why they try to avoid them, for politics, right?
00:35:00.040 I think if you're not willing, look, we know they're registering illegals to vote.
00:35:07.380 So what is the point of our government if it's not run by people that the people, the citizens of America has elected?
00:35:21.340 I mean, you want to throw, you know, half a million votes in from illegals and you're not going to do anything about it.
00:35:32.120 What do you think is going to come?
00:35:33.720 What's going to come is if Donald Trump wins, they're going to say, look, the popular vote, popular vote.
00:35:39.760 Look how many people voted for for Kamala Harris compared to the Electoral College.
00:35:44.680 This Constitution has got to go.
00:35:47.000 That's what they're going to do.
00:35:48.460 So, I mean, oh, we got a little chaos here on the on the on shutting down the government.
00:35:56.520 First of all, you're that would improve your life.
00:35:59.760 I guarantee it.
00:36:00.620 It would improve your life.
00:36:02.060 We're not shutting down the military.
00:36:04.500 We're not shutting down critical infrastructure.
00:36:07.540 And we're not going to not pay senior citizens, you know, the the stipend that they get from Social Security.
00:36:17.360 All of that would be taken care of.
00:36:19.760 It'd be all of the other spending for the turtle tunnels and everything else.
00:36:23.940 It doesn't matter.
00:36:24.740 And if if you can't convince America of this with something as clear and as popular as illegals cannot vote.
00:36:40.620 Tell me the average Democrat that, you know, that is for that.
00:36:43.760 Can you?
00:36:47.940 I can find a lot of people in politics that are for that.
00:36:51.920 But I can't find average everyday Democrats that are like, you know what?
00:36:56.400 Illegals should vote.
00:36:58.380 Why should they vote?
00:36:59.600 Chip Roy is fighting for this.
00:37:10.080 Mike Lee is fighting for this.
00:37:12.440 You know, they're the extremists, of course.
00:37:14.980 But I don't think it's extreme to say we cannot violate certain massive principles that all of us agree to.
00:37:25.160 And if it's no big deal, it's just redundant, then pass it.
00:37:30.160 You'd just be like, OK, fine, fine, whatever.
00:37:33.220 We pass it now.
00:37:34.320 Can we move on with our lives?
00:37:36.500 They're not wanting to pass it because they know it will stop illegals from voting.
00:37:43.560 At least in some states.
00:37:45.660 More in just a second.
00:37:46.740 First, let me tell you about SimpliSafe.

00:39:33.160 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.
00:39:42.800 Hey, tonight on the Wednesday night special, we are talking about the Venezuelan gangs that are terrorizing communities in multiple cities all across the country.
00:40:02.360 Migrants that have been flooding into New York City now account for what percentages of arrests in midtown Manhattan's do.
00:40:10.600 What is the percentage of arrests that are going to the illegal immigrants?
00:40:17.740 I've been following this closely with the mainstream media cover.
00:40:20.820 So I would say 0.3%.
00:40:22.560 All right.
00:40:23.960 75% of all arrests in midtown Manhattan are now from illegals.
00:40:29.600 That's higher.
00:40:30.220 It's happening.
00:40:30.980 It's happening in America.
00:40:32.120 It's happening all over the world.
00:40:33.820 And the globalist plan is the same all over the Western Hemisphere.
00:40:37.180 Overwhelm and collapse.
00:40:40.640 I saw this coming back during the Arab Spring.
00:40:43.700 I told you the movement would see Islamists, anarchists, Marxists, progressives, all working together with communists.
00:40:51.160 And it would cascade through Europe and come here to the United States.
00:40:55.040 And isn't it interesting in the middle of all this, there are two things that every Western country, including ours, are now trying to censor us over.
00:41:03.540 Questions about immigration and questions about elections.
00:41:09.180 Don't even think about connecting the dots of those two, because that's an unforgivable sin.
00:41:14.900 And I commit it proudly tonight at 9 o'clock.
00:41:19.020 These questions are why Blaze TV exists.
00:41:22.780 Deep dive inside the data.
00:41:25.280 Are illegals voting in our elections?
00:41:27.120 And if so, are the numbers meaningful enough to actually choose the next candidate?
00:41:31.520 The numbers in swing states alone are shocking.
00:41:35.780 Don't miss it.
00:41:36.760 Tonight, 9 p.m., our Wednesday night special on Blaze TV.
00:41:41.840 Thursday, on my YouTube channel, youtube.com slash Glenn Beck.
00:41:45.520 The left's illegal immigration master plan.
00:41:48.480 The Glenn Beck program.
00:41:49.520 Let me talk to you about Lear Capital.
00:41:51.500 Right now, we're looking down the barrel of a potential Democratic presidency that's going to institute price controls.
00:41:58.300 Oh, those work.
00:41:59.940 Never.
00:42:00.260 Never.
00:42:00.540 Never.
00:42:01.440 And they're communist.
00:42:03.400 So, good luck with that one.
00:42:06.020 If we have Kamala Harris as our president, we're in deep, deep, deep trouble.
00:42:11.220 And more importantly, your dollar is in deep, deep, deep trouble.
00:42:14.400 They were trying to convince you yesterday that the price of groceries has actually gone down.
00:42:18.740 No, it hasn't.
00:42:19.900 No, it really hasn't.
00:42:21.540 May I suggest that the value of your dollar is going down?
00:42:25.520 And when that happens, it'll become worth less and less and less until it's worthless.
00:42:32.000 And that's why you need to call Lear Capital right now.
00:42:36.260 Call them.
00:42:36.780 Find out all you can about precious metals.
00:42:40.680 But please act today.
00:42:42.180 957-GOLD.
00:42:43.660 Get started today.
00:42:45.560 Gold is going to continue to go up.
00:42:47.440 So, it is 957-GOLD.
00:42:50.920 800-957-GOLD.
00:42:53.660 Call Lear Capital now.
00:42:55.640 We'll be right back.
00:43:25.640 Can I stay together if I'm going to survive?
00:43:33.200 Stay up straight and hold the line.
00:43:40.240 It's a new day, time to rise.
00:43:44.580 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:43:57.340 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:44:00.280 So, there's been a lot of talk about these armed Venezuelan prison gangs that Donald Trump has been talking about for a very long time.
00:44:11.720 Remember, they're emptying their prisons.
00:44:14.180 Venezuelan gangs are coming.
00:44:16.040 These are worse than MS-13.
00:44:18.320 Oh, Donald Trump is such a conspiracy theorist.
00:44:21.240 Well, apparently, it is true.
00:44:24.020 Now, you have the mayor of Aurora, Colorado, confirming that the Venezuelan illegal migrant gang has indeed taken over several apartment complexes and have pushed out property managers to extort rent from the tenants directly.
00:44:41.500 He also went on to blame the Kamala Biden regime on this.
00:44:47.240 We're going to give you all the news, not just Aurora, because there's a new list out.
00:44:52.880 And you better check it twice because you don't want to be in any of these counties or possibly any of the cities in these states will give that to you because, you know, they, the Venezuelan gangs have tipped us off on what they're looking for.
00:45:11.100 You know, a place to maybe get a loan or two from California and be able to set up a nice home.
00:45:17.320 I mean, they're people, too, you know, just because they're in a Venezuelan prison gang doesn't make them less than Americans.
00:45:26.480 We go there in 60 seconds first.
00:45:29.360 If let's say you're in Aurora, Colorado, OK, and, you know, you got a nice little place going there and you think maybe now is the time to sell.
00:45:38.380 Not sure you can get all of your money out of that house, but don't shake the dice and throw them down on the table without knowing the odds.
00:45:48.300 And you need somebody who is really good at real estate to tell you what the odds are of selling your house in, let's say, Aurora or any other sanctuary city now.
00:45:59.240 I started a company over a decade ago with my brother.
00:46:02.540 It is called RealEstateAgentsITrust.com.
00:46:05.620 The real estate agents that we find and work with are full-time, incredibly dedicated professionals.
00:46:11.540 They're fully committed to helping you realize your home buying and home selling goals.
00:46:16.440 They're going to put a team of experts together for you and get things done right and get it done right on the first time.
00:46:23.860 The name says it all.
00:46:25.160 Find the right real estate agent for you.
00:46:27.500 It's RealEstateAgentsITrust.com.
00:46:31.220 RealEstateAgentsITrust.com.
00:46:35.620 Let's see.
00:46:37.540 Law-abiding Americans should be made well aware of the cities, counties, and states that have laws, ordinances, and policies that obstruct immigration enforcement and shield illegal alien criminals from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, otherwise known as ICE.
00:46:55.600 Harris has come out and said that she would like to dismantle and reimagine ICE.
00:47:02.000 Wouldn't that be fun?
00:47:03.220 Oh, we should just reimagine it.
00:47:05.820 I reimagine it as a group of government officials that actually do their job and remove illegals.
00:47:14.260 But I don't think that's the way she wants to reimagine it.
00:47:17.040 The same exact group of people that brought you sanctuary cities, brought you the reimagining of our police force and our DAs.
00:47:28.840 They're now really with Kamala Harris saying, let's reimagine immigration and customs enforcement.
00:47:35.400 So the mayor of Aurora, California, has just come out because the Venezuelan gangs, the prison gangs, are real.
00:47:46.560 Now, this reminds me a little bit about reading some of the diaries from people in Germany, which, yes, I have no life.
00:47:57.160 I have.
00:47:57.860 If you read the diaries of people in Germany as Hitler was coming to power, they would say things like, you know, just a couple of weeks ago, I had never heard this term before.
00:48:11.920 And now everybody's talking about it.
00:48:14.120 Just a couple of weeks ago, I knew who my friends were.
00:48:17.640 And now it's all changed because now they're saying things that they would have never said before.
00:48:23.580 And it was a time of great confusion.
00:48:27.740 Hmm.
00:48:29.260 That's interesting.
00:48:30.780 Maybe a little parallel there.
00:48:33.140 So the footage of the Venezuelan prison gang came out as they were taking over an apartment building with at least one AR style, AR style rifle and pistols.
00:48:44.720 And it was happening in a northern suburb of Aurora.
00:48:48.020 Aurora and and and people were saying this isn't real.
00:48:53.980 This couldn't be real.
00:48:55.000 Well, now everybody's talking about it.
00:48:57.060 The mayor of Aurora, Colorado, just confirmed saying that, yeah, yep, they're real.
00:49:04.180 They're here.
00:49:05.980 Here he is on his post confirmed Venezuelan illegal immigrant or sorry, migrant gangsters have indeed taken over several apartment complexes and have pushed out property managers.
00:49:18.020 To extort rents from the tenants directly.
00:49:21.840 He also blamed the Kamala Biden regime and said how they may be involved in importing the legals into his city.
00:49:28.540 This is the mayor of Aurora, Colorado.
00:49:32.400 Quote, somebody put them there.
00:49:35.240 Somebody funded it.
00:49:36.600 Whether it's the federal government or not, we don't know.
00:49:39.840 The mayor further confirmed that the prison gang has given orders to its members to start attacking police officers.
00:49:49.160 We're aware that in the Denver metropolitan area, there are elements of this gang here that are targeting police.
00:49:58.960 So that's good.
00:50:00.120 That's good.
00:50:00.680 The president responded, the waves are beautiful here at the beach.
00:50:09.920 I thought somebody else was taking care of this.
00:50:12.900 Call Barack Obama about it.
00:50:15.780 Anyway, the big picture to understand what's coming your way is the left has imported millions of illegal aliens.
00:50:26.840 Some of which I'm sure are good families.
00:50:30.500 A lot of them are not.
00:50:33.080 Seeing that about 70% of them are just military aged men.
00:50:38.120 I mean, they might make a family eventually, but they're not one now.
00:50:44.040 The prison gang members don't have any respect for our laws.
00:50:49.760 Why should they?
00:50:50.860 We don't have any respect for our laws.
00:50:53.120 Defunding the police has also been pushed nationwide, and that comes with local cities becoming overwhelmed.
00:51:03.500 Now, there are areas that have a possibility of high risk for violent crime.
00:51:09.300 These are areas, according to the Center for Immigration Studies,
00:51:12.860 They have been looking at the cities, the counties, and the states with laws, ordinances, regulations, resolutions, policies, or other practices that obstruct immigration enforcement and shield criminals from ICE.
00:51:27.100 So it's a short list.
00:51:28.560 Let me just tell you the places that they're concerned with, the states that they said you might want to avoid.
00:51:35.380 California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Washington.
00:51:50.040 Okay.
00:51:50.860 Now, what do those all have in common, Stu?
00:51:53.080 I'm trying to see, is there a pattern?
00:51:55.400 California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, and Washington.
00:52:05.980 All of those states have Republicans in them.
00:52:09.680 No, no.
00:52:11.380 Well, they have Republicans in them, but not controlling them, except for Utah.
00:52:17.040 And Utah is going to hell.
00:52:20.540 It's going to hell in a handbasket.
00:52:22.020 It is becoming so hostile to everything that made Utah a good state, and a state that everybody's like, oh, it's so family-friendly.
00:52:33.500 Now let's get there and change all of it, and get some people in who know how to run it, some progressive thinking here, and bring some of these migrant gangs in.
00:52:44.940 That's what's happening.
00:52:45.780 The cities and counties, they're saying in the District of Columbia, you should really avoid the city of Washington, D.C.,
00:52:56.260 which I think is the entire District of Columbia, so it'll be hard to visit D.C. and stay away from Washington.
00:53:08.340 In Georgia, they're saying Athens-Clark County, Atlanta, Columbia County, DeKalb County, Douglas County.
00:53:16.260 In Idaho, Bonneville County, and Power County.
00:53:20.920 Indiana, Lake County, Moreau County, St. Joseph County, and Wayne County.
00:53:25.420 But other than that, no big deal.
00:53:26.780 In Kansas, Douglas County.
00:53:28.880 In Kentucky, Campbell County, Franklin County, Jefferson County, Louisville, and Scott County.
00:53:35.100 In Louisiana, just avoid New Orleans.
00:53:40.840 Maine, Cumberland County, Hancock County, Maryland, Baltimore.
00:53:45.360 Now, who would have ever thought you should avoid Baltimore?
00:53:48.320 That is just such a lovely time, especially when the rats come out at night.
00:53:54.300 Baltimore, Baltimore County, Charles County, Howard County, Hyattsville, Montgomery County, Prince George's County, Rockville, St. Mary's County.
00:54:02.200 And then, I mean, if you're in any of those counties in Maryland, just try not to go south because it's Washington, D.C.
00:54:11.400 In Michigan, Kalamazoo County, Kent County, Lansing, Leigh-Lanau County, I guess, Luce County, Muskegon County, Oakland County, Washington County, I guess.
00:54:28.320 There's too many Indian names here.
00:54:29.880 I think this is wrong.
00:54:31.440 I think this is wrong.
00:54:32.360 I'm feeling uncomfortable.
00:54:33.680 It's like we're, it's honestly, it's like we're just taking their culture and making them into our counties.
00:54:39.200 Wayne County, Wexford County, in Minnesota, Anoka County, Cottonwood County, Dakota County, Hennepin County, Jackson County, Kandahoye County, whatever, Lincoln County, Lyon County, Todd County, Pipestone County, Nobles County, Ramsey County, and Watton County, whatever.
00:55:05.040 Wow, Nebraska's pretty safe.
00:55:08.500 Holy mother.
00:55:10.000 This is like a whole page for Nebraska.
00:55:13.100 Arthur, Banner, Blaine, Douglas, Gosper, Grant, Greeley, Hayes, Hooker, Hooker County, Howard, Johnson, Johnson County, Lincoln, Logan, Loop, McPherson, Nance, Perkins, Platt, Sioux County, and Thomas and Wheeler County.
00:55:34.060 And the, all of those districts are running about 30 minutes late, but they will be opening.
00:55:41.640 We'll get to their school lunch program here in just a minute.
00:55:45.260 New Hampshire, Hillsborough County, New Mexico has a ton.
00:55:52.220 Jeez, another page, another whole page for New Mexico.
00:55:57.560 Basically, avoid New Mexico.
00:55:59.340 Wow, same with New York.
00:56:02.280 Avoid New York.
00:56:03.400 North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania.
00:56:07.180 Pretty much get rid of all of Pennsylvania.
00:56:10.140 Just Philadelphia and Washington County.
00:56:13.060 Those are, huh, that's weird.
00:56:15.740 Those are dangerous.
00:56:16.880 South Carolina, Charleston County, is it?
00:56:19.920 Tennessee, Shelby County, Virginia.
00:56:22.160 Virginia, oh my gosh, oh my, oh my gosh, it's still going.
00:56:29.900 This is like almost two and a half pages of just in Virginia.
00:56:34.740 Wisconsin, Milwaukee County, Dane County, Winnebago Correctional Center.
00:56:39.220 I would avoid that usually.
00:56:41.600 In Wyoming, Teton County.
00:56:45.140 And that's it.
00:56:46.180 But other than that, you're good, America.
00:56:48.180 You're really, really good.
00:56:50.140 So, just avoid those counties because it looks like Venezuelan prison gangs are possibly headed your way.
00:56:59.720 But don't worry about it.
00:57:01.800 So, what's causing that, Stu?
00:57:07.000 Well, we seem to have a policy of inviting this type of behavior.
00:57:12.860 That might be part of it.
00:57:13.740 You know, I'd like to know when somebody is going to go to jail.
00:57:21.060 I'd like to know when our country decides to say, you know what?
00:57:25.340 George Soros is not welcome here.
00:57:28.240 He's a criminal.
00:57:30.120 He has done everything he can with his money.
00:57:33.120 And now his son is doing everything he can with his dad's money to destroy the West.
00:57:39.300 I mean, when are we going to start taking a stand on people who have clearly destroyed America?
00:57:49.320 This is not a Donald Trump problem.
00:57:52.160 This isn't even a Joe Biden problem.
00:57:54.960 This is a WEF-UN problem.
00:57:58.400 This is what they're doing to collapse the West into one global government.
00:58:02.980 They are doing this to all of our countries.
00:58:05.460 You know, Donald Trump said, you know, I don't have a problem not paying the U.N.
00:58:12.960 I would like to usher everybody out of the building at the U.N.
00:58:17.080 After all, we built it with our money.
00:58:19.820 And just, you know, either cutting that part of the island off of New York and just shoving it into the sea.
00:58:26.640 Or, I don't know, using it to house migrants would be really good.
00:58:34.000 That's a very large building.
00:58:35.440 We could make it into migrant housing, and that would be appropriate.
00:58:39.840 I mean, the country is at a place now to where we need radical change.
00:58:48.500 We have to have radical change.
00:58:50.600 We have to get out of these U.N. agreements that are just nothing but, you know, death notices nailed to all of our doors.
00:59:00.200 They're killing the West.
00:59:02.720 We have to get our Federal Reserve under control.
00:59:06.640 We have to gut our intelligence.
00:59:09.980 We have to absolutely close down and board up the Department of State.
00:59:15.720 State Department is one of the biggest problems.
00:59:18.940 So, gut it.
00:59:20.620 Completely gut it and start over again.
00:59:23.980 I mean, almost all of these agencies, that's the kind of change that is needed if you want to save the country.
00:59:30.600 And the problem is, is you don't even know where the infection is.
00:59:34.540 Now, you're going to, this is going to come as a surprise to you.
00:59:36.720 But apparently, Governor Kathy Hochul and Andrew Cuomo are accused of working with a Chinese agent.
00:59:51.840 And this is a high-ranking aide to both of them.
00:59:57.580 And it's weird.
01:00:00.460 Linda's son and her husband, Christopher Hu, are facing charges of violating and conspiring to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
01:00:11.700 Also, visa fraud, alien smuggling, and money laundering conspiracy, according to a new indictment in Brooklyn.
01:00:20.240 Now, in exchange for advancing Beijing's agenda in New York, this critical aid to the governor of New York got a few things.
01:00:34.380 And we're going to talk about it here in just a second.
01:00:36.880 Stand by.
01:00:37.480 Let me take one minute to talk to you about Patriot Mobile.
01:00:39.920 You know, every dollar that you make, you need to invest in great products and also products that will save you money and help save the country.
01:00:54.360 Right now, the country's only Christian conservative mobile phone company is Patriot Mobile.
01:01:02.280 Please, would you consider today switching your cell phone service over to Patriot Mobile?
01:01:06.920 The time is growing short, very short.
01:01:12.140 Stop waiting.
01:01:13.440 Do it today.
01:01:14.660 Patriot Mobile shares your values, will not send your hard-earned money to aid in the destruction of America.
01:01:20.020 In fact, they take their money, their profits, some of them, and they fight conservative causes.
01:01:27.340 They fight for them, not against them.
01:01:30.260 You're going to get the same nationwide service, all the while supporting a company that loves our country,
01:01:35.660 shares your values, supports, you know, stopping Venezuelan gangs.
01:01:41.520 I'm just saying, switching is really easy.
01:01:43.780 They'll make it happen for you right now.
01:01:45.900 Make the switch to Patriot Mobile, and they're going to give you a whole month for free.
01:01:50.580 They're a great company, great people.
01:01:53.840 Call them right now.
01:01:55.640 972-PATRIOT.
01:01:57.120 972-PATRIOT.
01:01:58.160 Or go to PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.
01:02:00.620 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.
01:02:02.280 Or call 972-PATRIOT.
01:02:03.660 10-second station ID.
01:02:05.340 Wow, wow.
01:02:17.700 This is fascinating.
01:02:19.880 So apparently, the highest-ranking aide for the governor of New York now owns a $4.1 million mansion in New York,
01:02:32.520 a $2 million Honolulu luxury condo, and a fleet of luxury cars, including a 2024 Ferrari Roma, which is a great car, beautiful car.
01:02:42.800 Beautiful.
01:02:43.220 People say they couldn't make it more beautiful.
01:02:44.980 They've already made it more beautiful, the most beautiful car of it.
01:02:47.280 Anyway, so I don't know how they justified that other than, you know, oh, well, how did you afford that?
01:02:54.980 Well, we're laundering money, and we're getting, you know, kind of a gravy train of kickbacks from the Chinese because we're, you know, we're working against America.
01:03:08.560 That's great.
01:03:09.400 That's great.
01:03:10.580 Yeah, I'm really stunned.
01:03:11.660 I mean, the government of New York has not seemed similar to the Chinese Communist Party at all in their actions.
01:03:19.740 No.
01:03:19.960 So I'm stunned to hear this.
01:03:24.760 You are.
01:03:25.980 Oh, gosh.
01:03:26.620 Because you're saying that none of, for instance, like the China virus, China virus, they acted completely differently than the Chinese did, right?
01:03:38.060 Yeah, that's true.
01:03:38.620 I don't think the Chinese were dumb enough to put the actual people who were positive with COVID into nursing homes.
01:03:44.580 So, I mean, the Chinese government, there was definitely a difference there that the Chinese government handled that situation better than the government of New York.
01:03:53.340 But with some great influence from apparently a Chinese spy working in the government to take out, you know, the words Taiwan from speeches and such.
01:04:02.720 Really, really a helpful thing for New York.
01:04:06.020 But honestly, like, how could they tell?
01:04:08.180 How could they tell that they hired someone who was a representative of the Chinese Communist Party when they all act like they're in the Communist Party themselves?
01:04:17.540 How'd you know?
01:04:18.180 Well, I think I think some of them are proudly communist.
01:04:22.440 I mean, I don't think they carry the card anymore that actually says Mao's my favorite leader in history.
01:04:29.640 But a lot of them will say that out loud.
01:04:32.060 Mao's their favorite.
01:04:32.920 You cannot overstate the value of being at the right place at the right time.
01:04:55.060 You just can't.
01:04:56.240 Well, the right time may be right now.
01:04:58.560 And the right place is American financing.
01:05:00.600 If you're a fiscally responsible homeowner, they may be exactly what you need.
01:05:05.700 I've been telling you about American financing for years and years, and I believe that they can change your life in a good way with a free financial review.
01:05:15.260 They can lay out a list of options that you can have to save you a ton of money over time.
01:05:20.660 And I will tell you, they're saving the average person, it's about $10,000 a year.
01:05:26.700 The average person from this audience that calls is about $830 a month in savings.
01:05:32.940 That's a lot of money.
01:05:34.400 You need to be saving money and putting money away in maybe something like gold or silver.
01:05:40.340 But please call them, Americanfinancing.net, Americanfinancing.net.
01:05:46.680 Their number is 800-906-2440, 906-2440.

01:06:10.340 Hello, America.
01:06:11.960 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:06:13.540 There is something going on in Brazil that every American should pay attention to because this is the system in the West now to silence dissent.
01:06:26.440 And they're silencing people on the election.
01:06:31.860 Anybody who calls election fraud in Venezuela is in trouble.
01:06:36.700 And anybody who is sharing information, just exactly like what is happening in England, if you're sharing information about what's really happening with the migrant crisis over there, that you could actually go to jail.
01:06:52.160 Now, Brazil is cracking down on X and any dissenters.
01:06:56.720 But why are they doing it now?
01:06:58.280 And why should you care?
01:06:59.920 One of the strongest voices and truly an American hero, Michael Schellenberger, is with us.
01:07:06.320 He is the author of San Francisco, and he is also the founder of Public on Substack.
01:07:13.540 Michael, welcome to the program.
01:07:15.960 Hey, good to be with you, Glenn.
01:07:17.620 Thank you so much.
01:07:18.920 So can you explain to the American people what's going on and why they should care?
01:07:25.000 Sure.
01:07:25.440 So, I mean, you may think Brazil is a long ways away, doesn't have anything to do with us.
01:07:30.960 But everything that Brazil is doing in censorship has been endorsed by Kamala Harris and Tim Walls.
01:07:39.760 Kamala Harris and Tim Walls said that we should first censor election information that they don't approve of,
01:07:47.980 that we should de-platform political leaders, namely Donald Trump, and that those bans on political leaders should be across all social media platforms.
01:07:58.400 In other words, if you get banned at Twitter, then you should also be banned at Facebook.
01:08:02.420 You should be banned on Instagram, TikTok, every single social media platform.
01:08:06.140 That's called cross-platform ban.
01:08:08.120 That's exactly what Brazil is doing right now.
01:08:11.960 When Elon Musk refused to go along with it, they shut off X.
01:08:18.300 It's now blocks in Brazil.
01:08:20.220 It's banned.
01:08:20.700 You can break the law by using a VPN, a virtual private network, to get around the block in Brazil.
01:08:28.960 But that is illegal.
01:08:30.820 And there is an almost $9,000 a day fine for Brazilians if they do that.
01:08:36.220 But this is totalitarianism.
01:08:38.840 I mean, this is – people think totalitarianism is just tanks and torture chambers.
01:08:43.300 It never starts that way.
01:08:44.720 It starts with depriving people of freedom of speech.
01:08:48.700 And that's what's happening in Brazil, and it's happening all around the world.
01:08:52.160 And it is – we're at grave risk of it arriving here in a big way.
01:08:56.060 So, Michael, I got in a lot of trouble about four years ago for saying what is coming is a digital ghetto.
01:09:05.400 Just as the Nazis put Jews behind a wall and said, you can talk all you want here, but nobody can hear you because there's a wall.
01:09:12.100 Nobody sees you.
01:09:12.920 Nobody hears you.
01:09:14.280 What's being developed is a digital ghetto.
01:09:16.760 And we're there.
01:09:19.040 We're there.
01:09:19.880 Are we not?
01:09:20.560 We're getting there.
01:09:23.480 I mean, I think that what's game-changing is Elon Musk's ownership of X.
01:09:28.660 We also saw Mark Zuckerberg apologize for the censorship that he engaged in.
01:09:34.720 Didn't go far enough, in my view.
01:09:37.460 No.
01:09:37.780 Facebook is still censoring disfavored views.
01:09:41.080 But, you know, we still have the First Amendment here.
01:09:43.640 I pointed out a few days ago, and Barack Obama, two years ago, gave a speech at Stanford where he proposed government censorship of social media platforms.
01:09:55.500 And how did he propose doing it?
01:09:57.920 By amending the Constitution, because he and many Democrats, I'm sad to say, believe that the First Amendment is an obstacle, is a problem that they need to get rid of and solve in order to have mass censorship, which, of course, Glenn, as you know, gives them control over elections.
01:10:18.800 Naturally, they're doing this in the name of saving democracy, but any attack on free speech is an attack on democracy.
01:10:26.920 And that's what Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, and Tim Walz have all endorsed.
01:10:33.920 And this is really, it kind of started with Brazil, where they got serious about X, with people who were questioning the legitimacy of the election of Lula, correct?
01:10:45.560 Yeah, that's right.
01:10:48.720 It's very similar to here.
01:10:50.740 There was concerns around election fraud, around not counting, you know, mischief around the ballot boxes, all of which would sound very familiar to Americans.
01:11:03.060 And then they said that, well, we have to censor all those concerns about the elections.
01:11:08.340 I had a big, I was in Brazil.
01:11:10.140 I'm actually under criminal investigation in Brazil for the Twitter files, Brazil.
01:11:16.320 The attorney general recommended that I be prosecuted by the Supreme Court for publishing entirely accurate and legal Twitter files about Brazil censorship.
01:11:28.120 And one of the arguments I had with journalists, because, of course, journalists are, are mainstream journalists are advocates of censorship.
01:11:38.340 It's the most Orwellian thing in the world.
01:11:40.640 But one of the things they would say is, well, we have to censor election information.
01:11:44.480 I would ask them, how would you ever know if somebody stole the election?
01:11:47.880 If the same government that stole the election is also now censoring the evidence showing that they stole the election.
01:11:55.440 Right.
01:11:56.520 I mean, the worst people to be the gatekeepers of truth are the people who have demonstrated throughout all time that they are the biggest and most powerful liars, the government.
01:12:08.840 They cannot be the gatekeepers of truth and disinformation and deciding which is which.
01:12:17.720 You know, Michael, I was asked to go down to Brazil for their Independence Day, which is coming up.
01:12:27.660 And my attorney said, you can't go.
01:12:31.900 We can't guarantee that you'd be allowed to go.
01:12:34.720 And I haven't done anything that I know of.
01:12:36.820 But that's the situation Elon Musk is in.
01:12:39.480 That's a situation that you're finding yourself in to where you have published the truth and and shown these things to be true.
01:12:49.480 And now, if you go into Brazil, do you do you fear that you would be taken?
01:12:56.800 Well, I'm going to find out tomorrow.
01:12:59.420 Are you going?
01:13:01.260 I'm flying to Brazil tomorrow.
01:13:02.940 I will land at 740 in the morning.
01:13:06.240 Sao Paulo time on September 6th.
01:13:09.960 I have an attorney in Sao Paulo.
01:13:11.860 If I am detained at the airport, my attorney will be there and and we will fight it.
01:13:18.540 But no, I'm certainly not going to back down, you know, never, never back down against a bully.
01:13:25.240 And yeah, this is not just about Brazil anymore.
01:13:28.680 This is about we have to stop the totalitarianism abroad before it before it arrives here in a big way.
01:13:36.400 And that's that's why I'm going down there.
01:13:38.860 And I'm going to join them to celebrate Brazil's independence and also celebrate Brazil's commitment to freedom because its constitution protects free speech.
01:13:46.600 Well, now you're shaming me the the evidence you came out with some evidence that the U.S.
01:13:54.580 was colluding with the Brazilian government to ban X and to go after Elon Musk.
01:14:02.040 Is Ben's right about the current State Department or embassies from the United States actively being involved right now?
01:14:18.840 We can I think it's safe to assume that that's happening in terms of hard truth.
01:14:25.400 What we have is a lot of money flowing from this outfit called the National Endowment for Democracy.
01:14:34.380 Into pro censorship organizations in Brazil.
01:14:39.020 Including these fake fact checking organizations, which are all about creating justifications for censorship.
01:14:44.700 And it's it's quite it should be a shame.
01:14:48.620 I mean, it's actually it's illegal because, of course, the First Amendment of our Constitution says that the government shall take no actions to bridge freedom of speech.
01:14:57.440 That goes worldwide.
01:14:59.220 We're not allowed to support freedom of speech with U.S. taxpayer money.
01:15:04.720 Now, is it the only thing, you know, that's going on?
01:15:08.040 I mean, of course not.
01:15:08.780 I mean, Brazil is its own country.
01:15:10.460 It has, you know, this this criminal dictator named Alexandre de Mordaes, you know, and Lula, who are now the de facto dictators of Brazil.
01:15:21.480 He was a mob lawyer.
01:15:23.640 He was the lawyer for the biggest criminal syndicate in Sao Paulo.
01:15:27.740 He's as corrupt as anybody.
01:15:30.020 He got his job.
01:15:31.320 He almost certainly got his job by blackmailing a former president.
01:15:35.200 Oh, over some without getting too much of the details, you know, basically a sex scandal.
01:15:43.460 So these are there's a there's an independent, obviously, dynamic in Brazil.
01:15:48.180 But of course, it's immoral for us to be supporting crooks and and mafia lawyers and dictators.
01:15:56.100 We need to stop doing that.
01:15:57.640 And unfortunately, when I testified in front of Congress about Brazil in May, the Democrats all defended censorship.
01:16:05.780 And now we've seen Robert Reich, the former labor secretary to Clinton, has called for Elon Musk to be arrested.
01:16:12.720 We've seen Mark Ruffalo, the Marvel action Hulk actor.
01:16:17.820 And we've seen Keith Ellison, all all praising Brazil's censorship.
01:16:24.140 Yeah.
01:16:25.440 So that's that's the totalitarianism emerges from within the elites, within the ruling class.
01:16:33.360 So when you start seeing the ruling class demanding censorship like they're doing, we should all be very frightened.
01:16:38.120 So let me ask you, Michael, I mean, I don't I don't think it's a coincidence that, you know, everybody on the on the left said that Bolsonaro was like Donald Trump and was going to become a dictator.
01:16:50.960 And then they put up a communist who becomes the dictator.
01:16:56.940 And they you know, they're working through the courts, which our our country is trying to change the makeup of our Supreme Court.
01:17:05.400 Is there anything to be said?
01:17:07.280 I just feel like in England, you know, if you retweet something or you post something that they don't like, they have made the claim that they'll come for you anywhere.
01:17:21.680 And and what's happening is they're coming for people in in Brazil.
01:17:28.180 Is this part of a global strategy to kind of become to take care of problems in our country?
01:17:39.200 You know, they have a real problem with Elon Musk by having Brazil take care of it or, you know, arresting you for something that you might have posted in in, you know, on the Internet.
01:17:52.360 And it went to England.
01:17:53.420 And it was a violation of their laws.
01:17:55.140 It just seems like the world speech police are at the beginning phase of something very frightening.
01:18:03.880 Yeah, that's right.
01:18:06.320 And it does appear to be a pattern whereby the Europeans, the Brazilians, the Canadians, the Irish, the Australians, they're all trying to censor acts with support from the U.S. government in a variety of ways.
01:18:23.620 Because the goal is clearly to control the information environment and they can't do it.
01:18:31.760 It's harder for them to do it directly because we have this thing called the First Amendment.
01:18:35.660 So they're trying to do it indirectly through the back door.
01:18:38.500 And so we've seen constantly they've been demanding that not only the content be censored in Brazil or in Australia, they want it to be censored here in the United States as well.
01:18:51.000 So it's a global totalitarianism.
01:18:53.700 We've never approached this.
01:18:55.220 The closest we've ever imagined it was George Orwell's 1984.
01:18:59.620 You know, it's one problem, of course, is that you have a few big social media monopolies that control basically all the information.
01:19:07.280 And if they get if the if the government, the deep state, the intelligence agencies, the security agencies get control over social media platforms, then none of us are free.
01:19:19.160 We're absolutely we're completely living in a totalitarian society.
01:19:26.120 Michael, I can't I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done with the Twitter files.
01:19:31.660 And I really believe you are such an important voice.
01:19:37.160 Elon Musk, I don't know if we would stand a chance if it wasn't for Elon Musk right now and what he's doing.
01:19:44.820 If Twitter was still in the hands of the others like it was before, I think we'd be a very different world right now.
01:19:52.400 We pray for both of you.
01:19:54.180 Please let us know, Michael, what happens when you get to the airport.
01:19:57.840 We'll be following that. And if there's anything we can do to help, I'd love to have you back on the air in short order, telling us how we can help.
01:20:07.100 What should we be asking for?

01:21:39.500 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:21:56.620 Welcome to the program.
01:21:57.940 We have Dave from Omaha chiming in.
01:22:00.860 Hello, Dave.
01:22:01.740 Hey, Glenn.
01:22:02.360 I love your show.
01:22:03.700 And I just want to say I really appreciated your coverage with Michael Schellenberger.
01:22:08.060 It was a great interview.
01:22:09.660 It's an important issue down there in Brazil.
01:22:11.780 And I always appreciate your insightful commentary on such issues.
01:22:15.900 And the way you really go into depth.
01:22:18.900 And that's why I wanted to call as a representative of the average American.
01:22:23.460 Average American.
01:22:24.340 Just just listening to the show.
01:22:25.840 I I can't help but think additional coverage would be helpful for us to understand and comprehend what's going on.
01:22:33.480 And that's why I would just suggest that you would send Stu to Brazil, let's say, for Friday evening for like three hours or so.
01:22:46.180 OK.
01:22:46.760 Just for him to kind of like look at things like maybe around, you know, like in Sao Paulo, maybe just to kind of see maybe around a stadium.
01:22:53.420 If you had sent him with tickets to a stadium on Friday, on Friday night, I could maybe do it on Sunday.
01:23:01.820 No, no.
01:23:02.160 Sunday wouldn't work.
01:23:03.380 Friday would be the time to send him.
01:23:05.260 And then he'd come back immediately after an event that might be occurring there.
01:23:11.060 Send him.
01:23:11.720 You should pay, though.
01:23:13.040 You should pay for it.
01:23:15.800 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:23:17.440 Well, if you want a smartphone, it's going to be secure your privacy and, you know, take on a big the big corporations like Google and stuff.

01:24:27.980 It's a new day.
01:24:53.940 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:25:09.100 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:25:12.160 Hello, America.
01:25:16.740 There's a few things going on with our economy that you must know about.
01:25:21.940 It's it honestly makes some of the communist ideas of Kamala Harris of price controls look like no problem.
01:25:30.340 You're going to be aware of them and you will be ahead of the curve to protect yourself and your family in 60 seconds.
01:25:37.200 First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
01:25:40.420 Now, I ask why our churches are silent on this, but I'm just going to go out on a limb because no church will talk about it.
01:25:49.560 I believe there won't be any cybercrime in heaven.
01:25:52.540 And why aren't the churches talking about it?
01:25:56.380 You know, cybercrime.
01:25:57.600 Are we going to be are we going to be up against cybercriminals in heaven?
01:26:01.280 I say no, but I'm sure there'll be a few up there, but they probably have, you know, retired from their wicked ways.
01:26:07.300 No doubt.
01:26:08.120 In the meantime, until you kick the bucket, cybercrime is a real worry for you.
01:26:12.660 That's why you need LifeLock.
01:26:13.540 LifeLock, and it is important to understand cybercrime and how identity theft are affecting your lives.
01:26:20.080 A lot of places can even accidentally expose your personal information, and that's why LifeLock monitors millions of data points every second to look for risks to your identity.
01:26:30.400 It detects and alerts you to potential identity threats that you may not spot on your own, like loans taken out in your name or crimes committed by thieves pretending to be you.
01:26:39.380 And if you do become a victim of identity theft, a dedicated U.S.-based restoration specialist is going to fix it, guaranteed, or your money back.

01:27:12.940 So there's a couple of things that I want to touch here.
01:27:17.940 With Carol Roth, she is our economics guru.
01:27:22.760 She's a former investment banker and also the author of a fantastic book, You Will Own Nothing.
01:27:28.340 Let me just say this.
01:27:29.120 Carol, how weird is it when we first started talking about this idea that you'll own nothing?
01:27:34.720 You know, we had theories on how they could get us there, but now it's all happening, and you can clearly see how every American will be broke if we don't turn around from this.
01:27:49.980 It's terrifying, isn't it?
01:27:50.980 It sure is.
01:27:52.660 And certainly when I wrote You Will Own Nothing, like you said, a lot of these things were predictions.
01:27:58.180 You did the same with the Great Reset.
01:28:00.980 And we kind of saw the writing on the wall, saw what had happened in history, and were able to project that out.
01:28:06.460 One of the things that I talked about was potentially the biggest government wealth confiscation of all time, which is the government coming after something called unrealized gains, as well as potentially retirement accounts.
01:28:22.360 And now we've seen that as proposal first from the Biden administration and now the continuation with Harris for the next four years.
01:28:31.500 And so this really was meant to be a warning, and we have to do something about this, Glenn.
01:28:37.140 Okay, so this is something that is coming from Kamala Harris.
01:28:41.280 She wants price controls, which is communist, and unrealized gain taxes on these, which means clearly if your house goes up, let's say your house goes up $100,000,
01:28:54.580 you're going to have to pay 25% of that increase that year.
01:29:01.600 So you'll have to shell out, or is it 10%?
01:29:04.260 I can't remember.
01:29:04.960 10%?
01:29:06.660 Well, so she said, I think it, believe it was something like 25% actually.
01:29:11.960 Yeah, okay, I thought so.
01:29:12.440 But to be clear, she said, of course, this is only going to be for people who have lots of money.
01:29:18.560 And as we know, everything starts out with the people who have lots of money.
01:29:21.760 They have the lawyers and the tax shelters and whatnot.
01:29:26.040 This is clearly going after the middle and working class.
01:29:28.480 And what you said, Glenn, that's even more scary, is if your house goes up $100,000, according to whom?
01:29:36.540 According to an estimate on Zillow, according to the IRS, according to a council that includes AOC and Kamala Harris, that is part of the issue.
01:29:48.100 When something is an unrealized gain, it is theoretical because you have not realized that.
01:29:53.520 Things change, and that means it can go up and go down.
01:29:55.840 Notice that they are not talking about crediting you for any unrealized losses.
01:30:00.980 They don't want to give any money back.
01:30:02.320 They just want to establish a price at any point in time, and this can affect your home, and this can affect stocks, and this can affect all kinds of assets.
01:30:11.260 Everything.
01:30:11.780 Everything.
01:30:12.640 So here's the thing.
01:30:14.180 Now, America, please listen to this.
01:30:16.500 To get you to a place to where you own nothing, all they have to do is tax you an additional $25,000 on an unrealized gain for your house.
01:30:34.040 So what does that mean?
01:30:34.960 If you have to pay that, you're going to have to sell something because you just can't cough up $25,000.
01:30:40.860 So what do you do?
01:30:42.180 Do you sell your house so you can pay that gain?
01:30:45.100 You will sell stuff to be able to afford the taxes, which in the end means you will own nothing.
01:30:53.220 Yes, and who's going to come in and swoop in and buy that home that you have to put up for sale?
01:30:59.680 Correct.
01:30:59.900 You want to guess?
01:31:00.460 It's going to be Wall Street who has gotten into the home buying game.
01:31:03.680 This didn't exist before 2010, and now with all of the free money they had access to for almost 15 years, they're flush with cash.
01:31:11.740 They can come in.
01:31:12.480 They don't need to do a walkthrough.
01:31:14.320 They don't need to get the financing terms.
01:31:16.560 We know that they continue to buy a substantial portion of all the new homes that are listed, and more and more of those homes are going to be rented and not owned, which, by the way, is the biggest asset on Americans' balance sheets.
01:31:32.000 So we have, you know, I don't know if you saw this.
01:31:35.740 I sent it to you, the unrealized gains and losses on investment securities.
01:31:41.320 And, again, this doesn't mean anything at this point because they're not going to be taxed on it, and, you know, they don't have to cough up more money because of it.
01:31:53.140 The unrealized gains or losses on investment securities.
01:31:57.460 So these are the things the banks are holding on.
01:32:00.600 They're buying up mortgages and everything else.
01:32:02.740 If you look at this chart, we were about $75 billion in the hole during the 08 financial crisis.
01:32:12.720 This one is showing that we are 675, worst case scenario, $675 billion in the hole on some of these banks.
01:32:26.020 Now, again, it doesn't mean anything unless there's a run on the bank and they have to start selling stuff.
01:32:31.700 It's a collapse potentially much bigger than 08, correct?
01:32:38.380 So, yes.
01:32:39.080 So I think the important thing to realize is this is definitely not great, but it's not meant to panic anyone yet.
01:32:46.420 So it's something we need to pay attention to, right?
01:32:48.380 So like you said, just like the unrealized gains that you could be taxed on, any sort of unrealized losses are still unrealized.
01:32:55.160 And what happened, as we know, and we talked about this back, I think it was, is it last March that Silicon Valley Bank collapsed?
01:33:01.780 I think it was.
01:33:02.380 It feels like it was 900 years ago, but I think it was March of 2023.
01:33:06.740 Basically what happened is during the easy money period, you had all of this money sloshing around in the system.
01:33:12.700 And what happened, people went to deposit that in banks and banks didn't have enough places to lend to.
01:33:19.060 So they made some loans, but what they did is they decided to park the rest of that in securities.
01:33:23.800 And so they bought a lot of treasuries and mortgage-backed securities.
01:33:27.760 The challenge, as we have seen, right, I mean, that's what's considered the quote-unquote safe security.
01:33:33.680 So we'll just play along with that for now.
01:33:36.280 What we know about bonds is that they trade in absolute inverse, kind of like a seesaw to their interest rates and to their yields.
01:33:46.240 So think about if a bond price goes up, that means the interest rate's gone down.
01:33:50.280 If interest rates go up, the bond price goes down.
01:33:53.160 So what happened?
01:33:54.080 We had all of these banks that bought in on these bonds, and then interest rates went up and up and up.
01:34:00.700 So like with our seesaw, if the interest rates go up, what happens to their bond prices?
01:34:04.880 They go down.
01:34:05.700 It goes down.
01:34:06.040 So when we report that, when the banks report that, which they're required to do, so that you can see in that chart,
01:34:12.200 that shows that if they had to sell them all today based on today's value, that they would have to sell them at a massive loss.
01:34:20.180 But again, that's unrealized.
01:34:21.660 So what could happen in the interim?
01:34:23.500 One is that they hold them to maturity, which is what they're probably going to do.
01:34:27.940 Or if interest rates come back down, which we know we're in the process, theoretically, of seeing those come back down soon,
01:34:37.120 that also that you're going to see that loss narrow, right, as it gets closer to the price that they paid.
01:34:43.340 So you're going to see that shrink.
01:34:45.700 The wild card here, and this is what happened with Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank and the like,
01:34:52.260 is if there's something that requires them to make the sale, if there is a bank run, if they have to fill deposits and they're not able to and they have to tap that.
01:35:02.420 Now, the Federal Reserve has been doing everything in their power to backstop this, to make sure this is not an issue.
01:35:09.560 And there are certainly plenty of other issues in the banking system, like commercial real estate, like loans to hedge funds and the like.
01:35:16.100 But this is what that chart shows, that if things were to get sideways, boy, there is a lot of exposure that could really impact the banking system.
01:35:26.420 So as we said, this is not a good situation, but unless there is the catalyst, it doesn't become the catastrophic situation that it might look like from looking at the chart.
01:35:36.160 So I always remember my grandfather, who lived through the Great Depression, saying if we only would have known what the rich people knew, maybe we would have been able to weather it much better, because they had made moves in advance.
01:35:48.140 I will note here that Warren Buffett, through Berkshire Hathaway, has been selling their Bank of America stocks, liquidating that.
01:35:59.460 Correct.
01:36:00.240 Yeah, Jamie Dimon is also liquidating.
01:36:03.900 You never want to see somebody who's the head of a corporation start to liquidate.
01:36:08.020 What do you know that everybody else doesn't know?
01:36:11.860 So there are a couple of theories there.
01:36:15.380 So with Warren Buffett, he made a big bet on Bank of America and got some special securities.
01:36:22.220 And certainly he is telling us, at a minimum, that from a price standpoint, he doesn't see the risk-reward there.
01:36:28.980 Whether or not that's something deeper, we don't know.
01:36:31.500 So Jamie Dimon, who has kind of hinted that maybe he is going to retire within the next five years and do something else, he's saying that that goes along with it.
01:36:41.580 But I do pay attention to these signals.
01:36:44.460 So if we start seeing more of these signals, again, we should have the antenna up.
01:36:48.820 But either way, we know what the fiscal foundation is like.
01:36:52.780 We know that there are all these cracks in the system.
01:36:54.680 And so everybody should be diversified and protected as much as possible in their own portfolios.
01:37:00.340 So yesterday, the White House came out and said that your grocery prices have gone down.
01:37:06.540 Your grocery prices have not gone down.
01:37:09.700 And then they tried to get away with saying, well, she was just talking about the inflation rate has gone down.
01:37:17.520 That's not what she was talking about.
01:37:19.160 She was lying to the American people.
01:37:21.580 But I want Carol to talk to you about a new tax.
01:37:25.800 Not only are they talking about, you know, trying to get these people that are so greedy at these grocery store companies that they're going to go after them and set price controls.
01:37:39.140 Disaster.
01:37:40.400 But there is now another idea that has been percolating for a while.
01:37:45.700 Janet Yellen is all for it.
01:37:47.340 Joe Biden is for it.
01:37:48.360 I'm sure that Kamala Harris is for it because these companies just don't pay enough tax.
01:37:53.200 Wait until you hear the loss of sovereignty and everybody's mind in 60 seconds.
01:38:00.520 Back with Carol Roth.
01:38:01.400 First, let me tell you a little bit about Lear Capital.
01:38:05.800 You know, both Carol and I believe in gold.
01:38:09.000 We both believe that you should have some or silver even.
01:38:15.080 Silver is cheaper.
01:38:15.860 But when all of this stuff really starts to hit and you haven't really felt the full ramification of their Inflation Reduction Act, a lot of these things begin next year.
01:38:29.720 And if we don't have a president to cut all of this out, we're going to be in real trouble and your dollar is going to be in real trouble.

01:38:55.160 Instead, they would have bought gold.
01:38:56.760 But our Fed doesn't do that.

01:39:22.140 800-957-GOLD.
01:39:24.320 10-second station ID.
01:39:25.300 Okay, so the Hill has just come out.
01:39:38.600 And I know you're not an expert on taxes, Carol.
01:39:42.400 But you can walk us through this and show us how real this is.
01:39:47.800 There is a Pillar 2 agreement for a new global tax.
01:39:53.020 Can you explain this?
01:39:55.740 Okay, so I'm going to do my best to explain this.
01:39:58.120 I would say two things about this, in addition to me not being a tax expert, is that this
01:40:02.420 is something that is in process.
01:40:04.520 So we're not making enough noise about this.
01:40:07.000 This is an opportunity for everybody to raise their voice.
01:40:10.180 So there are two things that have been going on.
01:40:12.640 One is through the OECD, the Organization for Economic Cooperative Development.
01:40:17.940 And this is a group that, you know, it started actually at a predecessor.
01:40:24.600 It was supposed to be, how do we rebuild Europe after World War II?
01:40:28.020 We're going to help, you know, distribute the funds from Canada and the U.S.
01:40:31.420 And then it morphed into, you know, this advisory.
01:40:34.140 And now, you know, it's gotten completely out of control.
01:40:37.580 And, you know, they have been saying, well, it's not fair that we have, you know, competition
01:40:41.880 amongst tax rates in different jurisdictions, right?
01:40:45.040 You know, why should a company that's multinational be able to domicile themselves in Ireland and
01:40:50.820 pay a lower tax rate?
01:40:51.880 We need to have a global tax cartel.
01:40:54.700 And Janet Yellen thinks that this is just a fantastic idea and has been leading the charge,
01:40:59.680 you know, for the last several years on trying to get this done, which would basically set
01:41:05.700 not only a global minimum tax, but maybe some other rules on how different countries could
01:41:11.760 tax companies, not based on where their headquarters are, but based on where they're selling.
01:41:17.380 So if you're selling into China or if you're selling into Europe, that that's where
01:41:21.880 the tax taxes would be garnered, which again, from a sovereign country standpoint, why would
01:41:29.020 you want to do this?
01:41:29.980 It begs the question for me, is this stupidity, you know, like the, like when we walked the
01:41:35.600 Chinese into the World Trade Organization, is this the fact that we have communists, you
01:41:40.980 know, in our government that are trying to destroy America, or is it maybe some of all
01:41:45.280 of the above, right?
01:41:46.200 So, you know, pick your poison here.
01:41:48.940 What has happened is that the OECD and, you know, the, the pillars that you've talked
01:41:53.960 about, the different, you know, things that they're trying to accomplish, they have blown
01:41:57.500 past their set deadlines.
01:41:59.080 They have not been able to figure this out.
01:42:01.360 So who has decided that they want to step in and try to make this a reality?
01:42:07.380 The United Nations, good old United Nations that, you know, don't have their hands in enough,
01:42:12.580 yeah, and enough evil things.
01:42:15.040 And so they want to be able to take over this concept and sort of take it to the next level
01:42:21.200 and have by majority vote, majority vote, say that we can set taxes in basically anywhere,
01:42:30.560 even though it's not, you know, our country that we're, we're doing, we're levying those
01:42:35.040 taxes on.
01:42:35.700 So you could have China decide, oh, we're going to tax all of these American companies
01:42:40.320 and go after the, you know, the profits that we have in our highly profitable United States
01:42:46.720 companies.
01:42:47.520 And for some reason, you know, the United States who funds the UN, right?
01:42:52.480 We fund 22% of sort of their main budget and 27% of the peacekeeping budget.
01:42:58.780 You know, we are funding all of the insanity that comes out of the UN.
01:43:04.000 It's time to defund the UN.
01:43:05.360 It's time to get out of this, you know, global mess and global cartel and to go back to being
01:43:12.040 a sovereign nation.
01:43:13.100 And they want to completely throw that sovereignty away and have all of these other entities be
01:43:19.260 able to tax and basically steal all of the profits that are coming from the most profitable
01:43:25.600 multinational corporations in the United States, which by the way, are, you know, of the biggest
01:43:31.320 companies in the world, they make up almost all of them.
01:43:35.140 There's a couple of energy companies and a couple of other companies that are in that
01:43:38.480 set.
01:43:38.760 But basically every large profitable company in the world is an American company and they
01:43:44.320 want to be able to raid that for their own benefit and steal that from the American people.
01:43:50.040 And again, I just want to point out, it's the UN now that has taken this, but it is the
01:43:57.100 Biden-Harris administration that is pushing it.
01:44:01.660 If you think you're going to have a 15 or 20% tax on a corporation and your prices won't
01:44:10.280 go up by 15 or 20%, you're out of your mind.
01:44:14.100 If you think that they could tax our companies and have favorable for elsewhere or not take
01:44:22.580 other taxes from other companies, that's called a tariff.
01:44:28.100 That's what, that stops economic growth.
01:44:31.620 That's what you use as a punishment for a country that you are at war with or potentially
01:44:38.340 at war with, um, and it's very bad for both sides.
01:44:43.540 It's bad for the country of the company.
01:44:45.740 It's bad for the country and the, and the buyers of those products.
01:44:49.400 This is a disaster waiting to happen.
01:44:52.720 And the Biden-Harris administration is pushing for it.
01:44:56.400 Yeah.
01:44:56.560 I mean, just go down the list.
01:44:57.860 So they want to, you know, out of the gate, increase the corporate tax rate from 21% to
01:45:03.860 28%.
01:45:04.640 That's a 33% increase and that will be passed on either to workers or to customers or some
01:45:11.580 combination of both.
01:45:12.760 So again, in terms of lowering prices, this does not to get, get taking more money and
01:45:17.520 giving it to the government does not help lower your prices or help beat inflation.
01:45:21.480 They want to institute a higher capital gains tax.
01:45:24.560 They want to, you know, have a higher, um, unrealized gains, and now they want to let the
01:45:29.320 world confiscate our money.
01:45:31.060 What could go wrong with nothing could go wrong.
01:45:34.340 If your plan is to make everybody in the West own nothing, uh, and be really, really happy
01:45:41.280 about it.
01:45:41.700 I guarantee you the only thing that won't happen is you won't be happy about it.
01:45:47.640 Um, but this is what this election is all about.
01:45:50.420 This is why they cannot allow Donald Trump to be president because he'll stop all of this.
01:45:57.400 And this is already in the works and part of an overall plan for a new world order.
01:46:04.060 Thank you so much, Carol.
01:46:05.340 Uh, let me talk to you about a relief factor sleep.
01:46:07.840 I mean, if you think you have bad night sleep, do you know the research I have to do for this
01:46:12.940 show every day?
01:46:13.740 You can look away.
01:46:14.600 I can't.
01:46:15.560 Sometimes I just cannot shut my brain off.
01:46:19.320 I toss and turn and I'm like, Oh my God.
01:46:22.440 And then trying to find a way to tell you about it.
01:46:24.740 That doesn't, you know, make you, uh, lose sleep every night.
01:46:28.040 I'm not very good at that part, but, um, let me tell you about Z factor.
01:46:32.300 Z factor comes from the makers of relief factor.
01:46:34.980 Uh, and it is a hundred percent drug free way to help you fall asleep faster, sleep better
01:46:41.160 and stay asleep longer.
01:46:42.900 Again, it's all natural for all natural ingredients.
01:46:46.280 It'll calm your mind, relax your body.
01:46:48.080 So you can ease into sleep faster and sleep through the night.
01:46:51.640 It has worked for me.
01:46:53.300 Tanya takes it, um, as well, uh, and it works for her.
01:46:57.960 She swears by it, a Z factor, get the sleep that you've, that you need and the best sleep
01:47:03.840 that you've had, you can order Z factor from relief factor.
01:47:07.180 And I'll say 40%, uh, 46% on your first order.
01:47:10.160 It's relieffactor.com, relieffactor.com.
01:47:14.060 Head over to blaze tv.com slash Glenn.
01:47:16.180 You can save 30 bucks and get a free trial right now.

01:47:33.840 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program tonight on my Wednesday night special, Venezuelan gangs,
01:47:43.020 which a week ago, everybody was like, ah, that's not real.
01:47:47.120 They're now terrorizing communities in multiple cities across the country.
01:47:50.780 Migrants flooding into New York city now account for 75% of all the arrests in midtown Manhattan.
01:47:57.060 It's happening all over the world.
01:48:00.900 And the globalist plan is the same all over the Western hemisphere, overwhelm and collapse.
01:48:07.240 Cloward and Piven.
01:48:08.400 I saw this coming back with the, you know, Arab spring.
01:48:11.800 And I did a chalkboard every single day that you would see Islamists or Islamists, uh, anarchists,
01:48:19.240 Marxists, progressives, all working together.
01:48:21.960 They would cascade through Europe eventually to the United States.
01:48:25.660 And it's interesting that in the middle of this, there are two things that every single Western country,
01:48:31.500 including ours are now trying to censor us over one questions over immigrant immigration and two elections.
01:48:42.040 Don't even think about connecting these two things and talking about that.
01:48:46.780 That's an unforgivable sin, but I commit it tonight.
01:48:50.000 Tonight, these are the questions that are the reason blaze TV even exists tonight.
01:48:57.440 I'm going to deep dive inside the data are illegals voting in our elections.
01:49:02.380 If so, are the numbers meaningful enough to actually choose the next candidate?
01:49:07.240 Let me just say, looking at the numbers, it is shocking, shocking.
01:49:12.280 What's coming our way tonight, Wednesday night special, 9 p.m. Eastern only on blaze TV.
01:49:19.340 And then you can see it tomorrow on YouTube at youtube.com slash Glenn.
01:49:23.400 It is the Glenn Beck Wednesday night special, the left's illegal immigration master plan for 2024.
01:49:30.040 Okay, we are under attack in so many different ways.
01:49:34.600 One of those ways is we have been infiltrated by China and there are Chinese spies everywhere.
01:49:41.660 And they're at the highest level.
01:49:44.620 We now find out that we have Kathy Hochul's assistant, the governor of California, a high level advisor,
01:49:56.660 has been being paid by the Chinese government to help them out.
01:50:03.320 How much is your citizenship worth?
01:50:06.320 How much would you sell your country out for?
01:50:09.000 Peter Swiser is here to tell us any details that he has.
01:50:13.360 He's been following the Chinese infiltration for a very long time.
01:50:17.040 Welcome, Peter.
01:50:17.600 How are you?
01:50:19.040 Hey, I'm great, Glenn.
01:50:20.040 Always good to be with you.
01:50:21.100 Thanks for having me.
01:50:22.540 Thank you.
01:50:23.520 So in your book, Blood Money, Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans,
01:50:28.940 you talk about how many, and both on the Republican and the Democratic side,
01:50:34.480 how many people are selling their souls to China.
01:50:40.020 Tell me about this case.
01:50:41.440 What do you know about it?
01:50:43.480 Yeah, so Linda Sun was the deputy chief of staff for Kathy Hochul.
01:50:48.420 Before that, she served for years in senior positions for Andrew Cuomo.
01:50:53.800 She was his chief deputy chief diversity officer, for example.
01:50:59.280 And essentially what she's being charged with in a 60-page indictment is getting millions of dollars
01:51:04.600 from the Chinese government and from the CCP.
01:51:08.160 And she took her position and used it for the benefit of China.
01:51:14.340 So, for example, she blocked representatives from the Taiwanese government
01:51:18.760 from even having access to the governor's office.
01:51:23.520 She altered state messages that were important to Chinese officials.
01:51:28.340 So she'd literally change a message to benefit them.
01:51:32.600 She also helped Chinese officials travel to the United States.
01:51:35.860 She issued unauthorized invitations that weren't approved by anyone else
01:51:40.480 that allowed government officials to come into the United States.
01:51:43.720 And she gave Chinese officials access to private New York government conversations
01:51:49.320 during the COVID-19 crisis, explaining how they were going to respond.
01:51:54.920 She would actually patch them in on these group, high-level group telephone calls.
01:52:01.440 And in exchange for that, according to prosecutors,
01:52:05.160 she received a lot of benefits from the Chinese government.
01:52:08.800 She was able to buy a $4.1 million Long Island home,
01:52:12.120 a $2.1 million condo in Hawaii.
01:52:15.360 She and her husband also bought a 2024 Ferrari Roma.
01:52:20.480 And I guess maybe my personal favorites is Glenn.
01:52:22.720 She's also accused of getting 16 meals that were prepared by a Chinese government chef.
01:52:29.020 They were Nanjing-style salted duck, which was good to me.
01:52:34.380 Yeah, I mean, it changes.
01:52:35.480 You know, once you hear the salted duck thing,
01:52:37.320 that she got 16 of them, you think, well, you know, maybe, maybe it changes things dramatically.
01:52:44.480 Why did it take so long for this to become a parent?
01:52:48.600 What does her husband do, by the way?
01:52:50.720 Do you know?
01:52:51.200 Well, her husband, her husband, yeah, her husband in New York ran a sort of export-import business,
01:52:56.540 a little bit vague.
01:52:57.760 But the other thing, Glenn, is that she apparently, according to the indictment, think about this,
01:53:04.600 she's a senior state official for Andrew Cuomo and the current governor of New York.
01:53:08.720 She apparently ran her own business in China, in mainland China, which is where she was born.
01:53:14.980 She's a naturalized U.S. citizen.
01:53:16.740 But she actually had a business in China that nobody knew about it.
01:53:20.560 And the Chinese government also apparently gave her cousin a cushy job.
01:53:26.120 That is mentioned among the indictments as well.
01:53:30.700 How many more are there?
01:53:36.540 How widespread is this, Peter?
01:53:39.520 Oh, it's a massive problem.
01:53:42.060 And look, this is something you and I have been talking about since 2018.
01:53:46.600 You've talked about it on Blaze TV.
01:53:48.960 And that is that they have avoided really enforcing the Foreign Agents Registration Act,
01:53:57.340 which requires if you do anything to benefit a foreign government or a foreign government-linked business,
01:54:05.480 you are required to file with the Department of Justice.
01:54:08.360 And they didn't really support this law at all.
01:54:12.320 And then, of course, they've used it against various Republicans, which, you know, look, if they're guilty of it,
01:54:17.120 they're guilty of it.
01:54:17.880 They should be charged.
01:54:19.060 But it's been selective.
01:54:21.180 This case was a long time coming.
01:54:23.260 And, of course, there is that, I think, strong case for these same violations that took place by Hunter Biden.
01:54:30.840 Taking millions of dollars.
01:54:33.340 And yet he doesn't be charged with anything.
01:54:36.280 Yeah.
01:54:36.520 Correct.
01:54:36.920 By the Chinese, by the Ukrainians, by the Romanians, by the Russians.
01:54:42.800 I think you could make a fair case in every one of those instances when it relates to Hunter Biden.
01:54:48.440 And the Department of Justice now in their tax case against Hunter Biden has even said that he was running a foreign influence peddling scheme.
01:54:56.460 But he has yet to be charged under this Foreign Agents Registration Act, which is what Melinda Sun has now been charged with.
01:55:04.140 And he got more than salted duck.
01:55:07.780 Well, maybe.
01:55:09.100 I mean, I saw some of the videos.
01:55:11.120 He might have.
01:55:11.960 Anyway, let's move on.
01:55:14.140 You know, Peter, I can't thank you enough for all of the work that you have done.
01:55:18.900 My mood never improves after talking to you, but I am appreciative of the knowledge.
01:55:28.300 Can I get a read from you on how optimistic are you that we can turn things around with this election?
01:55:40.640 I'm cautiously optimistic.
01:55:45.440 You know, look, I mean, the bottom line is we have to be realist.
01:55:50.260 You know, the the reminder here is that we don't want to be optimistic because you're naive, but you don't want to be pessimistic because then you just give up all hope.
01:55:59.660 And the bottom line is I do think that that, look, there are people around Trump that that have Chinese connections, but there are also people around Trump that recognize this problem.
01:56:09.800 And I believe those are in the closer inner circle.
01:56:12.980 When you look at Kamala Harris and Tim Walls, I mean, Tim Walls does not get did not get money from the Chinese, but he fits the definition of a fellow traveler.
01:56:23.660 And my fear is that with him as vice president, because he's had exchange programs with China for 30 years, they'll make him the point person on China policy.
01:56:34.000 And then, God forbid, I think we're going to be in deep trouble.
01:56:37.640 So you're going to be in deep trouble.
01:56:39.820 Peter, when you look at everything that is going on and what they are now admitting to and saying, you know, we're going to do price controls, we're going to do unrealized gains tax, you know, their stance on war, their stance on everything.
01:56:59.060 I mean, there is no way that if that's your plan, which is coming together oh so nicely, especially when it comes to controlling free speech all around the world.
01:57:12.240 And we're involved with it in England and in Brazil, there's no way that Donald Trump, that they could allow him to win because he really is the only thing standing in the way of all of these very nefarious plans.
01:57:29.680 Yeah, I mean, this is the weird place that we are in America, Glenn, where you have, you know, Donald Trump, who sort of breaks all molds.
01:57:41.360 And one of the people that's vigorously supporting him is Robert Kennedy Jr., who also breaks a lot of molds.
01:57:47.440 And they will disagree on certain policy positions, but the point is they recognize the essential problem.
01:57:55.400 And the essential problem is this desire for control and dominance, where the left has essentially been fused with corporate America.
01:58:05.300 Big government and big business are not enemies.
01:58:08.240 They're actually allies.
01:58:09.760 And this is the place that we find ourselves.
01:58:13.060 And I think what the Harris campaign is really trying to do is bank that a sizable proportion of the American population, voting population, is going to be ignorant.
01:58:23.680 So they play this game where they talk about these policy prescriptions that really don't have widespread popularity.
01:58:31.960 You know, this tax on unrealized gains is just ridiculous.
01:58:35.600 But they're obscuring it enough to where they think that a lot of people won't even be aware that that is her position.
01:58:44.140 That's the game that they're playing.
01:58:45.900 And I still want to have enough faith in America that people are going to see through that and understand what's going on.
01:58:51.820 Yeah, I hope so.
01:58:53.000 Peter, thank you so much.
01:58:54.700 God bless you.
01:58:55.740 Keep on the trail.
01:58:57.900 You bet.
01:58:58.140 Peter Swiser, investigative journalist who used to be one of the most beloved investigative journalists when it came to government corruption because he rats out both sides.
01:59:11.520 That's not good enough anymore.
01:59:13.080 You can only rat out one side, and it has to be the conservatives.
01:59:15.920 If you do it to the other side, you're over.
01:59:18.300 But luckily, his books are well-read by, you know, millions of Americans.
01:59:26.060 So he continues to do his job.
01:59:28.600 All right, more in just a second.
01:59:29.800 First, let me tell you about Rough Greens.
01:59:31.100 Giving your dog the healthiest, happiest life you can give him isn't just a nice thing to do.
01:59:35.140 It's your responsibility.
01:59:36.440 But more importantly, it's what we want to do.
01:59:39.160 I mean, if you have a dog, I mean, it kills me when I see people who have animals and they just abuse them.
01:59:44.020 I'm like, why?
01:59:45.400 Why? Why even have the animal?
01:59:48.080 Please give them as somebody who loves them.
01:59:50.960 I love my dog.
01:59:52.760 I love dogs in general.
01:59:54.420 Cats, different story, but I'm talking about dogs here.
01:59:58.340 When you really look into the food that your dog is eating, especially if it's kibble food, I didn't know this.
02:00:07.160 You know, I thought you could buy better kibble food, and maybe better kibble food is a little bit better,
02:00:11.480 but everything has been cooked out of it because it has to be allowed to sit on a shelf for up to two years.
02:00:18.340 If you were going to eat one food your whole life, do you think it would be good to have that food be in that condition so it could sit on the shelf and never go bad or never mold?
02:00:31.540 There's nothing good in that.
02:00:34.140 Rough greens is a supplement that you put on the dog's food.
02:00:37.320 So no matter what you're feeding them, and they love it.
02:00:39.800 So if you have a picky eater as a dog, this works wonders.
02:00:43.160 But I'm telling you, and I have nothing to back this up other than, you know, my own observations, the observations of my family and my wife.
02:00:51.640 Uno is a different dog because he had rough greens.
02:00:54.860 He ate all of his food now.
02:00:57.860 We don't have to coax him in it.
02:00:59.660 He loves it.
02:01:00.280 He runs to the bowl.
02:01:02.020 And he's our oldest German shepherd we've ever had.
02:01:06.300 And he's an old-timer as far as German shepherds go.
02:01:09.760 And I think that's because of rough greens.
02:01:11.520 And he doesn't have the hip problems.
02:01:13.240 I mean, he's just starting to develop them now.

02:02:20.740 Do we not?
02:02:21.300 On Blaze TV?
02:02:22.520 That's right.
02:02:22.900 Yeah.
02:02:23.120 It's tonight.
02:02:24.300 Scamdemic.
02:02:24.960 Blaze Originals with Alex Stein talking about the COVID era PPP plan, which was going to help people.
02:02:34.760 The paycheck protection that they were going to need in that era.
02:02:38.880 And a lot of people found a way to protect their paycheck.
02:02:41.820 Yeah.
02:02:42.520 They found it by, well, by using the system against itself and stealing billions of dollars from all of us.
02:02:52.300 And does anybody really seem to be upset about this?
02:02:55.780 I mean, those people should be made examples of and go to jail.
02:02:59.140 If you scammed the American people out of billions of dollars, I mean, I have no, there's no love for you.
02:03:09.820 Look what you've done to our country.
02:03:11.340 And quite honestly, nobody was looking for anything.
02:03:15.440 This government didn't even track it.
02:03:18.520 They weren't, they were just, oh, just send it.
02:03:20.580 People will be trustworthy.
02:03:22.220 No.
02:03:23.340 Since when are people trustworthy when money is involved?
02:03:26.980 My gosh.
02:03:29.920 Well, they had to get the money out the door, Glenn, to save the country from the terrible pandemic we were dealing with, you know, 18 months after it was over.
02:03:39.820 You know, all of that money, too.
02:03:42.020 So, yeah, I mean, it's a, it was a massive, massive problem.
02:03:45.880 Of course, right?
02:03:46.780 Of course.
02:03:47.500 When you, they were basically announcing you didn't have to do anything.
02:03:50.560 There was no checks at the beginning.
02:03:52.260 So, people would just file.
02:03:53.700 They'd file under different names.
02:03:54.960 They'd file, you know, dozens and dozens and dozens of requests.
02:03:59.140 They'd, you know, they'd open up businesses just to get the checks.
02:04:02.960 It was all sorts of stuff that went on.
02:04:04.720 But we're going to cover all of it tonight on Blaze Originals.
02:04:07.260 It's called Scamdemic.
02:04:08.180 If you use the promo code Scamdemic at blazetv.com slash Glenn, you get 30 bucks off your annual subscription,
02:04:13.920 plus a seven-day free trial to check it out and see if you like it.
02:04:16.840 So, yeah, my favorite part of the Scamdemic are those people that receive checks while in prison.
02:04:24.920 They apparently had to close their prison operation for a little while.
02:04:29.140 They were running great, you know, great, great stores, little startups, you know, in prison, apparently not.
02:04:35.740 And the government just didn't even know, we're sending this to a prisoner.
