They actually came up with home title theft and tried to steal the title of Graceland from Elvis Presley's family.
00:00:43.020
Think about how, first of all, think of the balls you have to have to try to do something like that.
00:00:48.400
It didn't work in the end, although they had actually gone really far with this.
00:00:55.800
Now, you might not have a home that has the financial value and historic value of Graceland, but what you probably do have is some equity.
00:01:03.880
You've probably been paying your bills on time.
00:01:06.200
And if you've been paying your bills on time, you are the target for something like this.
00:01:11.640
They don't necessarily want people who are, you know, free mortgage their home 65 times and have a negative equity.
00:01:18.700
If you are caught up in this and you are a victim of it, it's really going to throw your whole life upside down.
00:01:29.260
Make sure your home's title is still in your name and sign up your address at HomeTitleLock.com
00:01:38.020
And your first 30 days of triple lock protection are free.
00:02:47.680
Hello America and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:54.520
It is a new dawn, a new era, a new attitude in America.
00:02:59.360
If you happen to see the RNC convention last night, it was joyful and a different Donald Trump walked out into the convention center.
00:03:18.900
I know his, I know he doesn't like that because he believes it shows weakness.
00:03:24.240
But I thought it projected strength last night and a new attitude that we're going to talk about here in just a second.
00:03:33.980
First, let me tell you about our spotlight sponsor.
00:03:45.660
And I don't mean five minutes like in the movies.
00:03:49.000
Yes, some people are naturals, but most people take, you know, the gun range over and over and over again or dry fire practicing at home.
00:03:59.540
Well, there is one way to help speed this up and to show you whether you're, you're dry firing at home or you're at the range, show you exactly what you're doing right and what you're doing wrong.
00:04:16.480
Mantis X is a high tech, easy to use system widely used by the military.
00:04:20.600
It started with the Marines and it helps you improve your shooting quickly.
00:04:23.840
You attach it to your firearm and you connect it with an app on your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth.
00:04:29.540
Whether you're dry firing or actual rounds, you will improve within 20 minutes.
00:04:43.300
If you're ever going to pull a gun, God forbid, you know you have to be accurate.
00:04:52.260
Your competence and confidence will increase with Mantis X.
00:05:07.720
I want to welcome you, especially if you think differently.
00:05:14.540
Perhaps, perhaps you have been somebody who is following the mainstream media or has tuned it all out until recently because it's just all bad news.
00:05:39.800
It's hard to step out of the crowd and think differently, especially in today's world.
00:05:45.340
To risk thinking anew is really, really difficult.
00:05:50.260
Or to question with boldness, as Thomas Jefferson said.
00:05:54.600
Question with boldness even the very existence of God.
00:05:57.260
For there, if there be a God, he must surely rather honest questioning over blindfolded fear.
00:06:05.540
But honest questioning is not really done in today's world.
00:06:11.180
Honest questioning is replaced with gotcha questioning.
00:06:14.880
Even in our own lives, we don't really talk to one another.
00:06:29.220
Honest questioning means the kind of questions that if the answers lead your feet, your head, or your heart into a different direction,
00:06:39.520
you'll have the courage to follow that direction.
00:07:07.660
You may disagree if you're a new listener to much of what I'm about to say.
00:07:18.000
We're taught that, you know, you can't disagree.
00:07:28.280
But if you're listening for the first time today, I would like you to do something that you're not encouraged to do on either side.
00:07:37.440
And that is, give me, as I give you the benefit of the doubt.
00:07:42.440
Don't assume that you and I have something really basic in common.
00:07:56.300
We want people to pay their fair share, if you will.
00:08:04.100
We want bad guys, no matter which side they're on, to go to jail.
00:08:07.240
We want our children to have a good life and a better life than us.
00:08:14.780
And what's good for my kids isn't necessarily good for your kids.
00:08:25.780
That we want strong families and a strong country.
00:08:30.920
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, and please give me the benefit of the doubt.
00:08:38.160
That we recognize that we've made a ton of mistakes.
00:08:42.520
But we basically want the same things for our family.
00:08:47.900
And if that's the way you are, and you have found that there's just nobody you can trust, I agree with you.
00:09:07.420
If I make one, I try to let you know right up front.
00:09:15.740
Or somebody said something to me, and I think differently on it.
00:09:38.940
If we're going to start a new relationship, however, we need to talk about definitions of things.
00:09:47.400
We need to be able to discuss certain things and know what we mean.
00:09:52.980
And right now, the world is concerned with fascism.
00:09:59.660
Donald Trump, somebody tried to kill him over the weekend because that person has been convinced that he's a fascist.
00:10:08.300
So let's start with the definition of fascism, shall we?
00:10:12.000
I looked this up for your benefit today, and it seems as though some of the definitions have changed recently in the dictionaries.
00:10:23.900
But let me just read what they now say fascism is.
00:10:29.080
Because in reading them, I can see why you might think Donald Trump is a fascist.
00:10:38.540
Fascism is a political ideology and mass movement dominated by many parts of central, southern, eastern Europe between 1919-1945.
00:10:49.860
Although fascist parties and movements differed significantly from one another,
00:10:54.900
they had many characteristics in common, including extreme militaristic nationalism.
00:11:00.600
Now, this is an easy way for people to say, oh, well, Donald Trump is a fascist because he wants a strong military.
00:11:09.260
Yes, but it's also another thing to say you're only left alone if two things happen.
00:11:18.260
One, you have the strength and nobody wants to hit you because they know you'll hit back and probably hit back harder.
00:11:25.740
So you've got to be the tough guy on the playground.
00:11:37.960
We don't want to be the tough guy anymore, and that's what makes Donald Trump different than most conservatives.
00:11:44.280
Donald Trump hates war and hates the conflict of war.
00:11:50.880
In fact, that's why he separated from so many people on the right for so long.
00:11:57.300
But luckily, many of us have woken up and realized these wars never end.
00:12:06.480
We always seem to lose in the end one way or another because it's not our responsibility to go in and tell other people how to live.
00:12:25.080
They also fascist, according to Encyclopedia Britannica, they have contempt for the electoral democracy.
00:12:36.420
Well, I know we've been having a discussion recently about what a democracy is.
00:12:49.360
In fact, Ben Franklin was walking down the street after the Constitutional Convention, and some woman said to him,
00:13:02.340
Now, this has been something that we all understood up until Woodrow Wilson started changing things.
00:13:10.300
Because democracies last very, very short period of time.
00:13:16.780
But our Constitution is coming up on its 250th anniversary.
00:13:32.840
Because we have balanced democracy with a republic.
00:13:45.920
Once you are done voting, then they begin to vote on your behalf.
00:13:50.560
If that's where it's gotten screwed up, because we're not electing good people and honest people and people with our own values.
00:14:00.300
And also it's screwed up because we can't trust our vote.
00:14:04.660
And if you can't trust your vote, well, you don't have any.
00:14:13.160
This is why the Republicans have been saying that we need paper ballots.
00:14:25.580
This is something that they do at your 7-Eleven if you try to buy a beer.
00:14:29.540
This is something you have to have if you're driving a car.
00:14:35.320
This is something you have to have if you're going to college or you're going to work in many places.
00:14:49.580
The government wants you to have some sort of vaccine ID.
00:14:58.500
How could you be for a vaccine to let you into buildings if you have had the vaccine and keep you out of buildings if you haven't had the vaccine?
00:15:09.760
How could you have something so personal to you be a requirement, is what the Biden administration wanted, to be in a requirement?
00:15:18.560
But you don't want people to have any form of ID to show that they're a citizen and they're a registered voter?
00:15:35.580
The other thing they have in the Encyclopedia Britannica is it's a belief, fascism, is a belief in a natural social hierarchy and the rule of elites.
00:15:51.480
Now, this is something that I used to disagree with vehemently for a long time with liberals.
00:15:59.440
They used to say, oh, well, these corporations, they're going to take over the world and they're so powerful.
00:16:07.260
I never thought a corporation in my lifetime, I'm 60, but in my lifetime, I never thought a corporation could be as powerful as the government or could be so corrupt and so controlling.
00:16:21.160
Before AI, before AI, before Google, they didn't have that power, but they have that power now.
00:16:32.620
If you didn't go to the right college, you're not an elite.
00:16:36.580
If you didn't go to the right, if you don't hold the right opinion, you're not an elite.
00:16:47.300
So there's a belief in fascism on a natural social hierarchy and the rule of elites and the desire to create the people's community.
00:16:57.520
Now, this is where it gets interesting because this is where Donald Trump and his nationalism, as they would call it, I would call it love of country, always gets in trouble from the left.
00:17:13.460
They think that that is, he wants to have, you know, the people's community.
00:17:17.720
He's trying to be like Germany and we're the best and we're the best race and everything else.
00:17:25.060
What makes us different is our heritage for the most part.
00:17:30.420
And this is changing and unfortunately changing far too rapidly to be able to pass these good characteristics on.
00:17:38.780
Again, this society came here from all over the world.
00:17:47.720
We came here from all over the world, but those who self-selected to come here, they conquered.
00:18:04.140
Have you watched the Magnificent Seven, even the new one?
00:18:09.360
Have you seen Horizon, the new Kevin Costner film?
00:18:17.800
I have a grandmother who lost an eye crossing the mountains.
00:18:21.300
She just like yanked it out and was like, keep moving.
00:18:30.100
That's what makes us different is that our heritage is one of explorers, of risk-takers.
00:18:41.500
But in Germany, with fascism and in Italy, it meant that the individual interest would be subordinated to the good of the nation.
00:19:09.520
I have more on this, but I also want to get to the news of the day because yesterday was an amazing thing with Donald Trump.
00:19:20.980
And we'll talk about that coming up in just a second.
00:19:27.080
Now, this is my company, and if buying or selling a home isn't one of the most difficult decisions that you've made, well, I think you should rethink that.
00:19:36.700
There's a whole host of huge decisions all rolled up into that one.
00:19:47.200
How much money do you put into repairs before having the house appraised?
00:19:58.100
There's so many things that a great real estate agent can help you with, in fact, should take the lead on.
00:20:04.700
You need a really competent real estate agent, one you can trust.
00:20:08.740
When you trust your agent, you can also trust the people he or she trusts, the inspectors, the appraisers, the home repair contractors, the photographers, the list goes on and on and on.
00:20:23.340
If you're looking for a real estate agent, let us help you find one.
00:20:46.740
You know, before we move on, I just, I want to emphasize two things on fascism because we are having this argument.
00:20:55.260
Each side is looking at the other side going, you're going to destroy the rights of people.
00:21:00.860
And it's important that we really understand, before we start throwing terms around, that we understand what those terms mean.
00:21:12.760
Fascism prioritizes the nation over the individual.
00:21:16.400
And that's what spooks people, even me, when people start to get nationalistic.
00:21:22.860
If there are conservatives, and there are, that say, you know, we need a prince of Christ to come in and be our leader.
00:21:51.740
What we need is somebody who reflects the best of us.
00:21:57.260
I used to say reflect us, but that's not really good because moral sentiments actually matter.
00:22:04.980
And you don't prioritize the nation over the people.
00:22:14.040
Without a nation to protect your family, you can't have a family.
00:22:20.360
So we need to make sure that we have a strong family.
00:22:26.100
I'm sorry, a strong nation with strong currency.
00:22:29.960
Because if the currency goes down, you don't really have a job where you can make any money.
00:22:36.000
You might have plenty of money, but nothing your money could buy because it's worthless.
00:22:42.340
So prioritize the nation, not over the individual rights, but to make sure that the nation is strong and healthy and safe.
00:22:59.020
We're going to talk about Donald Trump and his walkout yesterday and what I think we all felt.
00:23:21.400
You know, man's best friend comes with his own set of health needs.
00:23:25.080
If you're a dog owner, you know what I'm talking about.
00:23:28.500
It isn't enough just to throw some dry kibble in a bowl.
00:23:33.260
The kind of stuff that gets baked out of that kibble food when they're making it in the factory.
00:23:38.020
You want to give your dog something that has probiotics in it.
00:23:45.060
Everything that will give your dog a healthy and happy life.
00:23:53.640
It's a supplement that gives your dog all of those things.
00:23:56.280
You sprinkle it on your dog's food and they love it.
00:24:00.000
In fact, Rough Greens is so confident that your dog is going to love it.

00:24:59.740
Well, the convention started last night and something unusual happened.
00:25:09.860
That's something that usually does not happen on the first night.
00:25:19.940
I think it was probably 10 o'clock Eastern, 10.30 Eastern.
00:25:40.500
For the first time, I saw, I don't know how to describe it.
00:25:45.720
It may be somebody who went, I shouldn't be here.
00:26:01.980
And I'm anxious to see what Donald Trump has to say.
00:26:09.060
People are making fun of him for walking in with a big bandage on his ear.
00:26:23.380
And just that and him turning his head made all the difference in that.
00:26:30.860
Now, when he walked out, people were chanting at the convention.
00:26:38.420
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
00:27:02.420
They were screaming, Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
00:27:10.380
First of all, in something that I thought was one of the most heroic things I have seen from a president in a very long time.
00:27:19.920
President Trump, unlike I think I would be, stood up after being shot in the head.
00:27:32.340
You can see that he's kind of had the wind knocked out of him from the dogpile of the Secret Service.
00:27:40.940
You can hear him on the tape saying, Wait, wait, wait a minute.
00:27:44.680
And he's telling the Secret Service to stop brushing him off of the stage so he can let the people know that he's okay.
00:27:53.180
And he raises his fist, and he says, Fight! Fight! Fight!
00:28:03.600
No matter who you, what you think about Donald Trump, I'm sorry, that is just stirring to see somebody who, for political reasons, they tried to kill.
00:28:20.260
The reason why people admire Donald Trump is that they have put him through everything.
00:28:43.320
They smeared him and his family, and now they tried to kill him, and the guy is not stopping.
00:28:54.980
Well, either he's a psycho that just loves pain and destruction, which he doesn't.
00:29:07.800
Or he actually believes in something that's worth fighting for.
00:29:15.080
Donald Trump doesn't believe in the global government.
00:29:20.040
He doesn't believe in the global economy the way it's being fashioned now in much more of a fascistic way with public-private partnerships.
00:29:33.120
You play ball with us, and then you'll be able to take over and crush your competitors and everything else because we'll protect you.
00:29:50.120
There is a new economic system that has already been introduced, and that economic system, part of it, is called modern monetary theory.
00:30:03.680
I talk about it in my book, The Great Reset, and again in the follow-up book.
00:30:08.320
The modern monetary theory six years ago was insane.
00:30:14.680
Basically, what it says is we don't have to have the tax revenue to pay these bills.
00:30:27.120
Well, that's what they did in Germany in the Weimar Republic.
00:30:33.920
There is something as an absolute truth, and the closest we can get to it is mathematics.
00:30:43.640
But that's just to bring the United States, in my opinion, to bring the United States down to everybody else's level.
00:30:51.020
For 40 years, we tried to bring the world up, and it worked.
00:30:55.600
Not universally and not everywhere, but wherever it was truly tried and tried without corruption, it did improve the lives of people.
00:31:08.680
Well, the Chinese thought of this new idea of fascism, bringing the state in with business.
00:31:16.580
Instead of taking businesses away from people and owning the businesses, they let people own and run the business, as long as you're in line with the state.
00:31:30.960
In fact, the reason why they have to kill him, I believe, is because he's the only one that stands in the way of this new global government and this new global business elite.
00:31:50.040
The first words out of his mouth were fight, fight, fight.
00:32:05.680
Isn't there anything worth, are your children worth fighting for?
00:32:23.980
You know you would sacrifice your life for your child.
00:32:32.240
When you hear the fight, fight, fight, I want you to think, Donald Trump doesn't mean just that it's worth dying for.
00:32:41.260
Because I do believe our country and our freedom of our children and the future of our children is worth dying for.
00:32:57.520
Because our children and our children's future is worth living for.
00:33:05.240
Now, yesterday there was a really awkward interview with Lester Holt.
00:33:13.380
Lester Holt where Joe Biden is just engaging in the same lies.
00:33:19.140
And I would really like to make it very apparent by using the audio of both what Biden has been saying over and over again and the audio of what was actually said at the time.
00:33:34.200
And then you decide who is telling you the truth.
00:33:38.760
Here's Lester Holt and Joe Biden talking about Charlottesville again.
00:33:46.700
I wasn't going to run again because I lost my son.
00:33:51.000
And until I watched what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia, those folks coming out of the woods with torches, carrying swastikas, singing the same Nazi bile.
00:34:08.520
And the president, then president, was asked, what do you think?
00:34:12.660
He said, they're very fine people on both sides.
00:34:30.200
But why take the time to do that when I can just present you with the actual audio of what Trump said in 2017?
00:34:40.240
And you had some very bad people in that group.
00:34:42.940
But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides.
00:34:54.600
You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.
00:35:05.600
And you had people, and I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.
00:35:12.460
But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists.
00:35:27.240
Why would President Biden continue to tell this lie?
00:35:33.480
There's one thing you can dismiss that, you know, no, no joke.
00:35:59.940
No, the one thing that you can say about Joe Biden is he always is self-aggrandizing.
00:36:07.520
And I think that's because he's really never done anything.
00:36:12.320
I mean, he was a senator, yes, but he was not the world's greatest senator by any means.
00:36:17.920
And there's lots of senators on both sides that kind of fall into this category.
00:36:25.320
You can take those kinds of lies and kind of feel sorry for him.
00:36:32.560
And these lies like this one that the left continues to tell, they are told for a reason to get you to believe something that is not true.
00:36:45.840
So if you're listening today for the first time and you're thinking anew, you're thinking, maybe I've missed something.
00:36:57.720
I talk to people all the time who have no clue as to what is going on in the world.
00:37:05.380
They have only heard the mainstream media and the left, and they have left out facts.
00:37:12.620
Now, we can spin things any way we want, but facts are facts.
00:37:19.020
Why listen to people who constantly, knowingly, tell you something about a fact that is not true?
00:37:50.800
Our sponsor, we want to thank them so much for being a part of the program, is Preborn.
00:37:56.720
This July, we celebrate the birth of our nation and remember the heroes that fought for our freedoms.
00:38:02.160
You know that some Americans today still don't have the freedom of life and liberty.
00:38:09.140
Tragically, every day, thousands of unborn babies are taken against their will.
00:38:17.540
What kind of nation do we live in where we don't recognize life at the end of life and we don't recognize life at the very beginning?
00:38:27.080
Well, a kind of nation that does horrible, horrible things in the end if they don't reverse it.
00:38:33.780
Preborn is the largest pro-life organization in the country now, and I think it's because they have compassion.
00:38:40.300
They're doing what they do, and they're so successful at what they do because of the compassion.
00:38:51.920
Sixty percent of women who have abortions don't want to have one, but they feel trapped.
00:38:59.480
The first thing they do is they give the women a free ultrasound.
00:39:05.860
If you can pay for the ultrasound, when they see that, the chance of the baby being saved doubles.
00:39:11.760
Then they also tell the mom who has no support system, don't worry, we're going to be here for two years.
00:39:19.340
We'll help you with the baby clothes and the food and everything else.
00:39:32.220
One ultrasound is $28, and five ultrasounds, $140.
00:39:36.900
To donate, just dial pound 250, say the keyword baby.
00:39:39.560
That's pound 250, keyword baby, or donate securely at preborn.com slash back.

We have Senator Mike Lee on coming up in just a second.
00:40:18.300
Also, we have Eric Prince today to talk about what is happening with Secret Service and Kevin Roberts.
00:40:27.280
And the hope is, Glenn, you'll be able to hear the voices of all of those interviews, which will be nice.
00:40:35.360
In case you don't, I know you couldn't tell, but what you just went through was an entire hour where Glenn couldn't hear anything.
00:40:46.340
We could get his voice, but he could not hear anything from the studios.
00:40:56.460
But I will say that was Hall of Fame stuff right there.
00:41:00.160
I don't know how you, I mean, including the clips, like the clips that we played of Joe Biden and Glenn knew what they were, but we had to visually count him down to the end of each clip.
00:41:11.420
I tell you, that's a lot of trust on my side because you guys could have screwed me so badly.
00:41:17.920
We could have played the exact, we could have played totally different clips and screwed them over so badly.
00:41:32.700
An entire hour of not being able to hear your own radio show while you're doing the radio show.
00:41:37.740
Congratulations to Glenn Beck, a new achievement.
00:41:44.360
It was going to be interesting to do the interviews with a guest when I couldn't hear them.
00:41:49.820
I didn't think we were going to be able to do that one somehow.
00:41:54.600
But I'm excited to talk to all of the people that we have coming up in just a second, give you some insight.
00:42:03.880
I was watching Newsmax last night, so I don't know.
00:42:10.880
They've been trying to take away every freedom they can.
00:42:13.540
They can get their hands on for years and largely with success.
00:42:18.920
They can't take your preparedness from you, your self-reliance and your peace of mind.
00:42:32.400
Right now, you can save $200 on their best-selling three-month emergency food kit.
00:42:37.380
It delivers over 2,000 calories per day and is sealed inside a practically imperceable packaging.
00:42:54.140
Okay, we have Senator Mike Lee joining us here in just a second.
00:42:59.120
He has quite a lot to share about what happened over the weekend and so much more.
00:43:50.660
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:44:11.220
Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:44:15.100
Eric Prince joins us to talk about the situation with the FBI, what's really going on.
00:44:26.600
There is nothing I love better than telling you about an amazing deal with a great company.
00:44:30.840
And right now, one of the best companies I know has the best sale they've ever had going on.
00:44:39.100
MyPillow, there's been a change in retailers, and they want to pass the savings directly to you
00:44:47.140

00:45:31.560
Let me tell you about Senator Mike Lee, who is joining us now, the good senator from Utah.
00:45:49.840
Glenn's having a little bit of audio trouble and cannot hear anything.
00:45:53.120
So we're going to pick this up from – it's been a heck of a day.
00:45:58.140
It's been a heck of a week, I think, as you may have noticed.
00:46:05.040
And what we're getting right now after just a terrible, terrible weekend and weekend that
00:46:09.460
changed the country for a very long time, we're getting an idea.
00:46:15.000
From every source right now to take the temperature down.
00:46:24.080
But do you agree with the messaging here from the media, who I think has participated in ratcheting
00:46:31.880
the temperature up quite a bit over the past few years?
00:46:35.160
Yeah, it's really cute for the media and for people on the left to tell us to take the
00:46:39.220
temperature down when they themselves do quite the opposite of that.
00:46:43.740
And then nitpick at every single stage for what Republicans do, what non-progressives do.
00:46:51.740
Look, the best thing that they could do to take down the temperature would be to end,
00:47:01.020
I have said from the beginning that President Biden really wanted to do that.
00:47:05.300
He could call for the criminal charges against his political opponent to be dismissed.
00:47:10.060
You know, he can do that directly for the federal charges, for the state charges.
00:47:15.240
He could call upon the governors of New York and Georgia to do that.
00:47:18.740
That would set a better signal than anything I can think of.
00:47:21.580
And look, I'm not going to cost him anything anyway, because the way things are going with
00:47:27.060
with the Florida charges being dismissed, with the likelihood that the other cases you're going to run into trouble anyway,
00:47:37.380
It doesn't look like there's a credible path for them to be able to lock him up before November anyway.
00:47:43.380
He would get some credibility, I would think, by doing that.
00:47:46.520
But instead, the left continues by saying, yeah, Republicans have got to change their messaging
00:47:52.320
and they nitpick at anything any Republican says, highlighting differences between the parties
00:48:00.620
So, Mike, Keith Olbermann just came out yesterday and said the judge in the Florida case needs to be arrested by Merrick Garland
00:48:15.800
There's nothing like made-up charges to save a democracy.
00:48:21.720
They're definitely going to at least take this to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
00:48:26.260
Do you know anything about the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals and how this might play?
00:48:32.520
Well, look, the judge was right to dismiss those charges.
00:48:36.920
Justice Thomas had pointed out some very legitimate reasons why Jack Smith's appointment
00:48:45.520
I think the district judge was right to do this.
00:48:48.160
It's very difficult to predict how the 11th Circuit might respond to this,
00:48:52.980
but I think the 11th Circuit handles this correctly under the law.
00:48:59.300
And in any event, the idea that Keith Olbermann would say that, I had not heard that until now,
00:49:07.440
It doesn't get much more third-world dictator-ish than that.
00:49:13.700
It doesn't get much more state-owned media than that.
00:49:17.900
For a media figure to come out and suggest that a judge making a ruling should be arrested,
00:49:22.740
even if it's necessary, based on Trump's contrives non-existent legal charges.
00:49:29.800
So, Mike, yesterday, when I was watching the convention before Trump got in there,
00:49:38.860
it had a sense of joy to it that I have not—I mean, it was the happy warrior.
00:49:44.280
It was Reagan 1984, and it at least connected with me.
00:49:53.240
And then when Donald Trump walked out, he seemed different.
00:50:05.960
He seems shaken but reinvigorated by the support that he's getting.
00:50:15.780
And I think it's impossible for him to have gone through that experience,
00:50:23.720
It'd almost be impossible to not feel that, to feel something had changed.
00:50:34.580
to have felt like he had a mission and a purpose for which he had been preserved.
00:50:42.040
It is—it'd feel like to you that we've turned a page
00:50:46.640
and we're in a different chapter now of this American story.
00:50:53.520
Now, particularly as it relates to this election cycle,
00:51:00.380
there's still some weeping, wailing, gnashing of teeth going on as to this election,
00:51:07.560
They're almost to the point now where they're realizing this is a lost cause.
00:51:12.980
Because whether they stick with President Biden
00:51:20.140
there are so many political problems with that.
00:51:27.280
now that President Trump has been attacked like this and shot,
00:51:31.500
there's so much sympathy that naturally goes out to him.
00:51:45.640
Are you hearing that from your colleagues on the other side of the aisle?
00:51:52.560
But there's very much a sense of, I don't know,
00:52:07.640
All along, they've been relying on all sorts of things,
00:52:10.200
on their ability to demonize Donald Trump through the media,
00:52:13.480
demonize him further through the lawfare against him.
00:52:16.780
They were very much looking forward to the perp walk moment
00:52:20.640
where they could cuff him, arrest him, take him into custody.
00:52:25.260
And they thought that that was going to be their big shining moment.
00:52:32.160
with yesterday's ruling from the U.S. District Court
00:52:37.660
and the more recent developments with Trump being shot,
00:52:44.560
none of those things are panning out for them well.
00:52:47.160
And it almost seems as if they've all backfired on them
00:52:49.660
because, again, public sympathy is turning toward Trump.
00:53:28.600
and honestly, no one would even have the honor to step down.
00:53:34.760
It's another case where something horrible has happened
00:53:49.300
It's unfortunate that the accountability doesn't seem to be coming
00:53:53.160
because, as you pointed out, this thing happened on Saturday.
00:53:56.940
And we absolutely should have seen some accountability by now,
00:54:04.840
But with each passing hour that nothing happens,
00:54:08.380
it seems less likely during this administration.
00:54:10.520
But I can assure you, with the way things are going,
00:54:13.280
we're going to have most likely Republican control of the Senate
00:54:25.720
and we'll be able to figure out what happened here.
00:54:27.900
But in the meantime, just basic conversations that I've been having,
00:54:33.840
with people who know what they're doing in this area,
00:54:36.100
with current and former Secret Service agents that I know,
00:54:44.100
I've had conversation after conversation with experts in this area
00:54:50.220
it is the most elementary point of securing an area
00:55:04.020
where you're supposed to be protecting someone.
00:55:06.700
You don't allow that to go unattended, to go unmonitored.
00:55:27.240
the president should have been kept off the stage
00:55:31.520
removed immediately until they neutralized the threat.
00:55:33.900
It's also difficult to understand why it is that
00:55:57.740
Some of it was an unfortunate set of circumstances
00:56:00.640
because it has, my understanding, is Jill Biden,
00:56:11.600
But that, too, is something we've got to look at.
00:56:17.900
maybe we need to restructure the Secret Service.
00:56:31.920
are devoted to the investigation of financial crimes.
00:56:38.860
that's historically been part of their mission.
00:56:49.540
It's like the union of nuclear power plant workers,
00:56:57.900
of things that have nothing to do with each other.
00:57:11.520
and I admire some of the Secret Service agents,
00:57:20.120
when a Donald Trump or a dignitary comes to town,
00:57:44.440
to somebody who has to put their body in the way
01:05:11.420
And I am also really, really grateful for Relief Factor because it allows me to hold a paintbrush in my hand.
01:05:18.840
My hands were so crippled in pain that I couldn't write.
01:05:24.620
And my wife decided that I needed to take Relief Factor.
01:05:29.260
And I said, honey, it's not going to work for me.
01:05:39.540
It's a 100% drug-free daily supplement that helps your body fight pain naturally.
01:05:48.420
And it addresses the inflammation in your body, which is a source of most of our pain.
01:05:53.760
And also most of the disease that we have comes from inflammation as well.
01:06:00.440
I want you to go to Relief Factor and try it for yourself.
01:06:17.740
Get seven free days and 30 bucks off your subscription to Blaze TV.
01:06:37.860
There's a new chapter in America being written because of what happened over the weekend.
01:06:42.760
However, I would like to remind you that the Reagan assassination bump, if you can call it that, lasted only about three months.
01:06:51.300
So this will go away, especially in an election season.
01:06:57.140
So don't take anything for granted because there's a lot more of the election to go.
01:07:03.580
I think it's interesting if they don't replace Joe Biden as the candidate.
01:07:07.880
I think it will be very interesting to see because I think to me that says, why waste another candidate, a possible candidate for a losing situation?
01:07:25.080
The one thing we have to do is make sure that there's no more violence and nobody tries to kill the president or the former president or anybody else.
01:07:40.660
Now, there's some new information that is coming out.
01:07:48.980
He's also the founder of Blackwater and a friend of the program.
01:07:57.120
I saw you on Newsmax last night as they were talking to you from the convention.
01:08:01.180
Did you sense a difference in watching the convention that I did?
01:08:06.300
And it also, when Trump walked out, he seemed different.
01:08:16.780
There's nothing quite as exhilarating as being shot at without result.
01:08:20.000
I think that definitely affected the president, maybe an air of humility.
01:08:30.700
And I think he realizes how severe that situation could have been.
01:08:41.480
The country dodged a bullet because if he had been killed, I cannot imagine the second and third order effects
01:08:48.800
that would be ravaging America right now if that was the case.
01:08:57.400
The Secret Service has been bad for a very long time.
01:09:01.460
Since Obama was in, I've been screaming about the Secret Service.
01:09:05.500
The president, all of the presidents, are in danger.
01:09:14.200
I mean, I've seen stuff from the Secret Service that scare the hell out of me in their incompetence.
01:09:23.660
New reporting today says that the shooting location was actually a police staging area
01:09:29.760
and that counter snipers were inside the building.
01:09:38.440
They watched him pull out a range finder and take measurements and then disappear.
01:09:45.560
Wouldn't the correct protocol to make sure that the president doesn't go on stage at that point
01:09:55.380
It is, it's mind-boggling how badly they missed.
01:09:59.220
You know that 140 yards from that location to the, to the president's podium is effectively
01:10:08.460
I mean, a, a, a 12-year-old first-time hunter could make that shot.
01:10:12.840
Um, the fact that there was local law enforcement in the area and they weren't covering is pathetic.
01:10:19.360
So bad on them, but also bad on the Secret Service to not detail one guy to make sure that
01:10:25.320
local law enforcement is doing their job to cover that massive dead space.
01:10:29.220
If you stand at the podium for the people that were doing the advanced work before Trump arrives
01:10:34.360
to stand at the podium and look around, it's pretty obvious to see that those industrial
01:10:39.640
buildings is what they call the, the sniper hotel, the likely place the sniper is going
01:10:45.640
If someone's going to do something and apparently they must've sent some local law enforcement
01:10:50.820
there and they didn't even thoroughly cover or, or walk around or patrol.
01:10:55.660
It's, it's, it's astounding how bad the bungling was and, um, and we literally dodged a bullet.
01:11:04.340
So it's, um, you know, the, the infinitesimal variation of aim to miss the president's head,
01:11:14.140
his brain matter by two inches is, uh, is the, the, the, the margin of error is, is entirely
01:11:20.760
too small and it, that must not ever happen again.
01:11:24.140
And that's just against a 20 year old idiot with no real professional training.
01:11:28.780
I worry, uh, that a professional that sets up at 500 or, or longer yards with a, uh, with
01:11:38.540
a bigger proper rifle, uh, can, can also provide serious threat.
01:11:44.500
The fact that the secret service snipers, counter snipers were apparently looking at the guy for
01:11:51.660
up to a minute and no action was taken even to include not even getting Trump behind cover
01:11:57.140
to at least the threat is, um, it doesn't have to be neutralized, but at least, uh, interdicted
01:12:03.160
so that he can't hurt anybody to even have one of those cops go up the ladder or multiple
01:12:11.600
I hope there is a proper external investigation.
01:12:15.720
We know the federal government is incapable of actually policing itself and of doing an objective
01:12:20.620
fact-based, non-political, non-ass covering investigation.
01:12:26.380
Um, so there has to be some internal look, external look at this because unfortunately I've
01:12:31.320
lost confidence in the federal agencies and I think you have too.
01:12:36.140
New reporting out again today, uh, ledges the secret service didn't secure the main access
01:12:43.660
Enter, entrances were unmanned, secured with only zip ties, adjacent neighbors weren't even
01:12:52.800
This is not usual secret service, um, uh, operation.
01:13:02.060
Um, if you were the head of the secret service, what would you do today?
01:13:09.160
What should we be as a public seeing today if our secret service was competent?
01:13:19.180
And whoever did the advance work for that detail on Saturday should be fired.
01:13:25.680
The head of counter sniping there should be fired.
01:13:29.920
And again, I don't like the, the, the, the Twitter post I said, I just don't, the, the way
01:13:37.060
of accountability is not the way of Washington anymore.
01:13:39.580
And so I don't think we'll see any changes until there's a new administration and it speaks
01:13:45.880
to yet another federal agency that is rotted with corruption and incompetence and, and in
01:13:53.820
social engineering and not focusing on the right things, which is, should be solely focused
01:14:01.960
That's nothing else, nothing to deviate from other than those core missions.
01:14:08.360
Um, the most of the, the most important part of executive protection is really good
01:14:13.240
advance work and mapping all the ways and all your, your likely vulnerabilities.
01:14:19.880
Clearly that wasn't done because there was so many areas left unwatched, unguarded, but
01:14:25.740
even once the bullet started flying the, the diamond, right?
01:14:31.100
The, the immediate close protection team around the president should have got him off the X
01:14:39.780
Although him standing up was a magnificent moment of bravery, a Teddy Roosevelt like moment
01:14:44.940
good on the president for having that composure.
01:14:47.720
But at that point, don't know if there was another second or third shooter.
01:14:51.760
He was highly exposed yet and he should have been gotten off the X and it speaks to those
01:14:58.460
responses from a protection team must be autonomic, meaning fully programmed that you can do it
01:15:04.340
when you're under maximum stress because they were with maximum adrenaline pumping through
01:15:08.980
your bloodstream because it was, but that's why you train in a super high stress environment
01:15:14.180
so that your body is conditioned to react to your training.
01:15:18.080
And that clearly had not been done because that team was not a, it was not at a game that
01:15:24.720
Eric, if you were in Congress and you were a supporter of Joe Biden, wouldn't you be ringing
01:15:33.440
I mean, I'm ringing the bell because I don't want any of these guys shot.
01:15:40.180
If we don't fix this, we are entering probably the most dangerous time our country has been
01:15:47.980
in, uh, maybe since world war two, um, where anything could go wrong and could set the entire
01:15:59.820
Why are the Democrats, why are the Democrats raising this alarm?
01:16:03.740
Because, because they pursue apparently a very different paradigm that social engineering
01:16:15.660
And I guess that, that equates to a fundamental paradigm and maybe that becomes an electoral
01:16:21.040
Do you vote for excellence and merit or do you vote for, um, choosing people for their color,
01:16:33.960
And, um, the American people have to choose excellence or we don't have a country anymore
01:16:40.620
Does, I, I found it weird that the, um, the head of the secret service was, you know, in
01:16:49.820
Um, you know, I know, you know, how much security Doritos do need, but, um, I found that to be,
01:16:56.560
she was, she was a career secret service, uh, but that doesn't mean she was an excellent
01:17:00.940
secret service officer and the one that should be leading the organization.
01:17:05.300
So again, I don't care who people sleep with or what bathroom they use.
01:17:10.840
I just want the, the, the hardest, most capable protection officers around the president and
01:17:19.720
other VIPs, because as you know, you're a student of history.
01:17:24.260
World War one started with an, with an assassination of the air to the Austro-Hungarian empire and
01:17:32.200
it uncorked untold millions of deaths in world war one, tens of millions of deaths in world
01:17:38.620
war two, and literally rewrote the map of the world from one hit.
01:17:43.800
I fear that if we lose a president Trump like that, this second, again, the second and third
01:17:53.740
And whoever, I think it would, if, if, if there is external conspiracy
01:17:57.140
and it wasn't just some 20 year old idiot that showed up to do this,
01:18:02.580
they need to be careful because if they sell the world, the world, sell the wind,
01:18:16.840
Eric Prince, a host of Off Leash, a retired U.S. Navy SEAL, and the founder of Blackwater.
01:18:29.080
In an emergency situation, you got to think fast.
01:18:31.820
And usually there isn't time for you to weigh your options out carefully.
01:18:45.520
You probably also know that while you are willing to take a stand, taking that stand,
01:18:51.360
especially if you use deadly force, is going to change multiple lives, including yours.
01:19:01.220
I mean, I carry a gun, but my wife carries a Berna launcher in her purse in her car,
01:19:09.980
It's a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home, safeguarding you in situations that are dicey,
01:19:17.760
that are happening more and more frequently now in America.
01:19:22.580
You can pack it in your checked luggage without the need to declare it as a firearm.
01:19:26.080
It has powerful, powerful deterrents like tear gas that will stop somebody for up to 40 minutes at a 60-foot range.
01:20:27.680
was announced as the nominee for vice president for Donald Trump.
01:20:39.320
where we have an attempted assassination of the former president
01:20:43.580
and current nominee, current favorite to be the next president.
01:20:49.240
You have the vice presidential pick coming out,
01:20:54.980
Donald Trump's classified documents case being dismissed,
01:21:41.500
I don't mean comparing Mike Pence to J.D. Vance
01:21:44.240
as people or politicians or anything like that.
01:21:53.800
as you're watching this and kind of digesting it
01:22:29.200
This is somebody who can carry on the tradition
01:22:31.780
and change the trajectory of the Republican Party.
01:22:40.980
what it's been for the last couple of cycles, Glenn,
01:22:43.180
has been a conversation of when Trump goes away,
01:22:54.000
I mean, J.D. Vance is the intellectual heir apparent
