The Glenn Beck Program - Did JD Vance Clinch the Suburban Mom Vote for Trump？｜ Guests： Salena Zito & Jonathan Conricus

00:00:00.000 Let me talk to you about the burner launcher.

00:00:01.860 If only I had a burner launcher.

00:00:03.700 That's something you don't want to say.

00:00:06.080 If you're a gun owner like me, and apparently, Tim Walz and Kamala Harris, she's a hunter, we found out last night.

00:00:14.760 You could strap me to the electric chair and turn on the juice if I'm wrong that she's never hunted before in her life.

00:00:23.840 Anyway, the burner launcher, it is something that is less lethal.

00:00:30.080 We have it at our house.

00:00:32.020 My wife carries one.

00:00:33.420 She has it in the car.

00:00:35.440 I have one in the car.

00:00:37.260 Situations do exist where you don't want to kill somebody, but you've got to get out of that situation.

00:00:44.320 Powerful deterrents like tear gas, not pepper spray, tear gas and kinetic rounds, and they will incapacitate somebody for up to 40 minutes.

00:00:52.740 Government agencies, police are now replacing the tasers and everything else with this.

00:00:56.460 Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn, Burna dot com slash Glenn for an exclusive 10% discount.

00:01:04.960 That's Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.

00:01:08.800 Do it now.

00:01:09.220 But we'll come down here.

00:01:19.100 Let's go.

00:01:21.820 Let's go.

00:01:22.260 We'll be right back.

00:01:52.260 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:02:00.980 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:05.140 Heavy on the enlightenment, since we went heavy on the entertainment yesterday.

00:02:10.540 Welcome to the program.

00:02:12.140 I'm going to give you five points that you need to understand.

00:02:19.320 And it will give you a capsule of what we've experienced in the last 24 hours.

00:02:25.600 Allie Beth Stuckey is with me.

00:02:27.400 Liz Wheeler is with me.

00:02:30.160 Who else is joining?

00:02:31.800 Jill Savage is joining.

00:02:34.180 We have, what's his name?

00:02:37.700 Dinesh D'Souza going to be on.

00:02:39.300 We have a packed show.

00:02:40.960 I just want to hear all the different voices of what people thought of the debate the last night.

00:02:46.600 In 60 seconds, I'll give you my quick opinion on that.

00:02:49.500 Today is the day that you could make an important decision.

00:02:52.960 You could keep your current cell phone plan.

00:02:55.740 You know, the one where you shell out big money every month.

00:02:58.000 The big mobile corporations donating to leftist causes that are destroying our country.

00:03:03.000 Or you switch to Patriot Mobile, who will charge way less.

00:03:06.860 They share your values, and they're fighting for the Constitution.

00:03:10.340 Choice is really pretty simple.

00:03:12.000 I'm a huge fan of Patriot Mobile, the things they are doing.

00:03:15.560 I actually got a cell phone just because I want to use their service.

00:03:19.860 Patriot Mobile shares your values.

00:03:22.160 Won't send your hard-earned money to aid in the destruction of America.

00:03:25.560 You're going to get the same nationwide service,

00:03:27.700 all while supporting a company that loves America, loves God, supports our police.

00:03:31.580 Switching is easy right now.

00:03:34.600 When you make the switch to Patriot Mobile, you'll get a whole month for free.

00:03:38.280 They're America's only Christian conservative mobile company,

00:03:41.100 and their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms

00:03:44.780 and glorify God always.

00:03:47.220 It's PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

00:03:50.000 Why haven't you joined yet?

00:03:51.300 972-PATRIOT.

00:03:52.420 Free month of service if you joined today.

00:03:54.860 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

00:03:57.260 972-PATRIOT.

00:03:59.020 All right, let me give you a couple of things that are going on.

00:04:04.180 It happened in the last 24 hours, and we're going to get to Alibeth Stuckey in just a second.

00:04:08.440 First, Israel.

00:04:10.720 Israel was hit yesterday by ballistic missiles.

00:04:17.760 Miraculously, I don't think anybody was killed.

00:04:21.840 That is a miracle.

00:04:22.980 They wiped out a lot of F-35s.

00:04:25.880 Israel is going to respond.

00:04:27.920 The question is, and the thing to look for, is if Iran responds and shuts down the two straits where we get our oil from.

00:04:38.220 If they disrupt the flow of oil, we will get deeply involved in that.

00:04:43.860 Other than that, I hope we stay on the sidelines and we just support Israel and give them what they need,

00:04:50.280 but let them take care of business.

00:04:51.960 We don't need another war.

00:04:54.940 The labor strike we talked about yesterday at the ports.

00:04:58.340 It's day number two, and they have doubled down.

00:05:01.220 And the president gave it his reason for not getting involved.

00:05:06.420 He doesn't think the president should get involved in union disputes right now,

00:05:10.880 and he doesn't want to tell them to go back to work either.

00:05:14.700 Translation, he doesn't want to lose the union vote, but he could lose a lot of other votes.

00:05:21.420 By the way, 90% of our meds come from these ports.

00:05:27.120 So, look out.

00:05:29.240 By the way, if you went to Costco yesterday, it was packed.

00:05:33.060 Just packed.

00:05:34.020 So, the debate last night, the debate, my view on this, the best vice presidential candidate I have ever seen in my lifetime.

00:05:45.520 I don't think there's been a better vice presidential candidate.

00:05:49.100 Trump is not going to thwart the Constitution and just say, I'm going to be a king and a dictator forever.

00:05:56.460 How do I know that?

00:05:57.740 Did you see that vice presidential candidate?

00:06:00.540 He picked a successor.

00:06:01.820 He picked someone who can carry on after him.

00:06:06.300 Second thing I learned, Tim Walsh apparently wasn't at Tiananmen Square and didn't happen.

00:06:12.680 Didn't happen.

00:06:13.260 But he's a knucklehead and everybody knows him.

00:06:15.500 You know, he's fine.

00:06:17.500 Now, the final point on the debate last night, I don't think it changes any minds.

00:06:23.520 But if you did watch the debate and you were hesitant on Donald Trump, you don't like the Democrats.

00:06:33.480 You're an independent.

00:06:34.540 And you just, I think, personally, I think J.D. Vance made people comfortable that there's an adult in the room and you can vote for Donald Trump.

00:06:48.260 And that's what I think, if it changed any minds at all.

00:06:52.640 But I want to talk to Allie Bastuckey because Allie was watching it last night and I didn't get a chance to hear your comments last night after the debate, Allie.

00:07:04.380 And if, I mean, you're a woman, if you're a woman and you hadn't decided, how were you watching that and how did that play to women, do you think?

00:07:15.020 If I were a woman who hadn't decided, I probably would be seeing how much J.D. Vance turned me off and made me mad.

00:07:27.400 I think they already are probably leaning towards Harris and they probably already have a critical eye towards J.D. Vance just because of the childless cat lady stuff and some of the misinformation they've heard from the media.

00:07:41.400 And I think he, at the very least, did not turn that suburban woman mom off of voting Donald Trump.

00:07:51.480 He had a really good mixture of aggression when he needed to, but also softness and compassion.

00:07:59.340 I think the way that he effortlessly weaved his personal story, his background with his policy prescriptions was really good.

00:08:08.940 I wasn't sure if anyone could pull that off. That's really hard to do. And he did it really well.

00:08:14.200 So this morning I got up early and I was watching a focus group and this focus group, the women were saying that they didn't like that he was demonizing illegal immigrants.

00:08:27.500 Oh my gosh.

00:08:28.460 I know. I know. I know.

00:08:30.420 Yeah, that is, I mean, that's that toxic empathy that I talk about, that tool of manipulation that progressives use to convince women, even Christian women, that the more compassionate and righteous side of an issue is the progressive one.

00:08:45.020 They hoist up the victim. They blind you to everyone else involved in the immigration debate, the people actually being negatively impacted by illegal immigration.

00:08:54.360 And they make you feel that you are standing up for the most vulnerable for the marginalized if you vote for Democrats.

00:09:01.360 They don't have to think about how. It just feels good.

00:09:04.600 It is toxic empathy. It's misplaced mothering.

00:09:07.800 I understand. I understand where that's coming from.

00:09:10.700 But unfortunately, that leads us to a very dangerous place.

00:09:13.300 So, Allie, I have not read your book, and I am going to get a copy of your book and read it.

00:09:20.220 Of course.

00:09:20.780 We were talking last night about it.

00:09:23.900 For anybody who doesn't know about this, can you just explain what your book is about, toxic empathy?

00:09:30.040 Yeah. It's out October 15th.

00:09:32.000 It's called Toxic Empathy, How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion.

00:09:35.480 We go through, in five chapters, the five subjects that I see them doing this the most on.

00:09:42.020 It's abortion. It's gender. It's sexuality slash the definition of marriage.

00:09:47.540 It's immigration and social justice.

00:09:50.100 And so what they'll do is hoist up a particular victim.

00:09:52.960 For example, the woman who fled Colombian gang violence is here illegally, but she's raised her family here.

00:10:00.020 She is terrified of the specter of the Donald Trump presidency because she fears that she's going to be deported and leave her small children here.

00:10:08.420 That's the only story that these women many times are hearing about immigration.

00:10:12.340 And if that's the only story that you are hearing, you believe that it is your obligation via the empathy that you have for this woman that, say, NPR just told you about to vote against the president that this woman is scared of.

00:10:28.140 But what we do in the book is that we zoom out and we say, OK, but who is affected on the other side of this issue?

00:10:34.780 And we look at the competing anecdotes. We look at Lakin Riley. We look at Molly Tibbetts.

00:10:39.360 We look at Kate Steinle. And we say at the end of the day, there are victims on both sides of this.

00:10:45.240 You could say there are people that you can feel for on both sides of this.

00:10:48.520 But Christians are not to be primarily led by our feelings.

00:10:51.740 We can compete with anecdotes all day. We're to be led by the truth.

00:10:55.260 The truth in love approach is the wiser approach.

00:11:00.160 It is the more beneficial approach to people on both sides of the issue.

00:11:03.580 But it takes a little more effort, a little more thought to see what is factually and biblically true.

00:11:08.480 So we do that on all of these controversial subjects.

00:11:11.520 People are going to feel so equipped to have these tough conversations after they read it.

00:11:16.240 How did you how do you address abortion and how do you think J.D. Vance did on abortion?

00:11:24.000 It drove me out of my mind that Walsh was saying, no, we're not for nine months.

00:11:29.780 Yes, you are. Yes, you are. I mean, babies have died in Minnesota because they let them die if if they didn't weren't killed in the abortion.

00:11:39.420 It is horrific. How do you think that was dealt with last night?

00:11:44.180 You know, I think he could have pushed. I think he could have pushed harder on that.

00:11:49.060 I think J.D. Vance overall did a good job.

00:11:51.020 I thought his weakest moment was on abortion.

00:11:53.480 And I understand that for Republicans, they feel like it's scary.

00:11:58.200 It's a sticky subject and they don't want to be really strong on it.

00:12:00.640 I didn't really understand what J.D. Vance was even saying about Republicans winning back trust, yada, yada.

00:12:05.900 I don't know. I would have pivoted harder.

00:12:07.860 If you don't want to answer the question, pivot harder to abortion extremism.

00:12:12.560 He is the first one that I heard that I've heard bring up the facts that Kamala Harris, a senator, voted against the Born Alive Infant Survivors Protection Act in 2019, written by Ben Saff,

00:12:25.980 that just said you've got to provide these babies who survive abortion health care.

00:12:29.340 She voted no on that.

00:12:30.680 So she and Tim Walls are right in line with believing that babies who are born alive deserve to die.

00:12:37.500 That's infanticide.

00:12:38.700 That's like Roman Empire exposure, leaving your babies to die in the wilderness kind of pagan stuff right there.

00:12:46.720 So I think he could have pivoted a little bit harder to that.

00:12:49.980 Allie, thank you so much.

00:12:50.960 You can watch Allie on the Blaze, Blaze TV.

00:12:54.520 She's the host of Relatable.

00:12:55.700 I'm telling you, she is a up-and-coming conservative superstar.

00:13:03.000 Get on the Relatable train with Allie Beth Stuckey.

00:13:06.440 She's amazing.

00:13:07.600 We have a ton of amazing women now.

00:13:10.340 I think we have the strongest stable of women in—

00:13:14.800 Can we put them in binders?

00:13:16.360 Yeah.

00:13:16.940 We have binders of women here at the place.

00:13:18.660 Binders of women.

00:13:19.400 Yes!

00:13:19.860 Yeah, yeah.

00:13:20.420 And a stable, I meant we keep them in a stable.

00:13:22.720 Yeah.

00:13:23.120 But anyway, I think we have the best women on the air.

00:13:28.100 We've got four or five of them that are just amazing.

00:13:32.600 I only have time to talk to three of them today.

00:13:34.780 But anyway, we're going to get to Liz Wheeler here in just a second.

00:13:40.320 Let me take a one-minute break.

00:13:42.120 Relief factor.

00:13:43.480 Are you living the life you want to live?

00:13:45.820 Are you doing the things you want to do?

00:13:47.580 If you're not, is it because of pain?

00:13:49.500 Listen, I know from personal experience—I mean, Stu, did you ever think that I—because

00:13:54.500 I didn't—did you ever think I would be like I am today?

00:13:59.380 Is this beyond, I'm getting back into shape, I feel good, I don't feel old anymore?

00:14:07.560 I mean, did you ever see—

00:14:08.480 Yeah, you're doing well.

00:14:09.760 I mean, people who only listen to the radio don't see.

00:14:11.920 You've lost quite a bit of weight, I would say.

00:14:13.840 And feeling really good, feeling really good, I gave up.

00:14:18.780 I really did.

00:14:19.920 I gave up.

00:14:20.840 My first step coming back is getting rid of the pain.

00:14:24.520 Stop masking your pain.

00:14:25.740 Start fighting back naturally.

00:14:27.740 Give Relief Factor a try.

00:14:29.000 Right now, their three-week quick start is only $19.95.

00:14:31.820 That's less than a dollar a day.

00:14:33.040 Visit relieffactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF.

00:14:36.640 That's 800-4-RELIEF.

00:14:39.880 Liz Wheeler joins us in 10 seconds.

00:14:43.840 Let me go to Liz Wheeler.

00:14:52.220 Hello, Liz.

00:14:53.120 How are you?

00:14:54.820 Hi, Glenn.

00:14:55.420 Hi, Stu.

00:14:56.460 Hey, Liz.

00:14:57.540 You know, I am so grateful.

00:15:00.360 Last night, we came very, very clear.

00:15:03.400 The very smart, strong, conservative women are outnumbering the men here.

00:15:09.240 And it is so great to watch.

00:15:12.820 It is so great to watch.

00:15:14.060 I'm so glad that you're part of Blaze TV.

00:15:17.520 So what did you think?

00:15:18.480 Thank you.

00:15:18.840 Me too.

00:15:19.520 What did you think last night?

00:15:23.520 Oh, that's the kind of debate I like to watch.

00:15:26.040 That was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish.

00:15:28.920 That caused me a lot less stress than the last one.

00:15:31.600 Let's just say that.

00:15:32.580 Yeah.

00:15:33.020 Danny Vance performed masterfully.

00:15:34.900 He started off stronger than he ended, I thought.

00:15:36.720 But overall, no question that he won the debate.

00:15:40.340 He did something during the debate that I've advised him to do.

00:15:42.780 And I thought he did it very well.

00:15:44.340 And that is, he treated Tim Walsh like no one's going to remember Tim Walsh in four years,

00:15:48.400 which hopefully will be true.

00:15:50.220 And what I mean by this is, if you think about Hillary Clinton versus Donald Trump,

00:15:53.260 we are all, for the rest of our lives, going to remember that campaign.

00:15:56.220 It was a campaign of epic proportions.

00:15:59.580 Yet, how many of us can actually picture the face of Hillary Clinton's running mate, Tim

00:16:03.960 Kaine?

00:16:04.580 Not very many of us.

00:16:05.400 No one knows him.

00:16:06.020 No one cares about him.

00:16:07.540 I can't.

00:16:07.740 I heard you say this last night.

00:16:09.640 I can't remember his name, but I can't remember his face.

00:16:11.480 He's just this generic blob.

00:16:13.380 I couldn't even remember his name.

00:16:16.680 I didn't even remember his name when you were saying that.

00:16:19.080 I'm like, God, who was that?

00:16:21.220 It's crazy.

00:16:22.220 Well, that was my advice to J.D. Vance.

00:16:24.320 Treat Tim Walsh like no one's going to remember him.

00:16:26.540 Don't make it a J.D. Vance versus Tim Walsh debate.

00:16:29.620 Make it a Trump campaign versus Kamala Harris campaign event.

00:16:34.600 And do that by just using Tim Walsh as a punching bag, in a sense.

00:16:39.100 Just punch him and pivot right to Kamala Harris's policies.

00:16:41.660 Just use him as your stepping stone.

00:16:43.680 Use him as a tool and highlight those policies.

00:16:46.960 This is what J.D. Vance is best at.

00:16:48.660 This is one of the reasons why the Trump campaign picked him to do opposition interviews,

00:16:52.800 is because he does them brilliantly well.

00:16:55.360 And he highlighted the three things that I thought independent voters, anybody who's

00:16:59.180 still undecided about who they're going to cast their ballot for, wanted to hear about.

00:17:03.040 The economy, he highlighted that.

00:17:04.960 Inflation, he highlighted that.

00:17:06.760 Immigration, he highlighted that.

00:17:08.520 These are really important topics that people care the most about.

00:17:12.680 And he really very well made the case against Kamala Harris using Tim Walsh that Donald Trump

00:17:18.840 is the better choice on those on those topics.

00:17:21.260 So I was very happy with how he did.

00:17:23.380 I did think he faltered a little bit on the abortion question.

00:17:26.020 I personally am more pro-life than Donald Trump.

00:17:28.280 So that wasn't a misstep in the campaign or a misstep in J.D. Vance's performance so much

00:17:33.680 as I think a miscalculation of their campaign strategy.

00:17:36.100 Um, but Tim Walsh was a, uh, blustering idiot.

00:17:40.240 I mean, he was embarrassing.

00:17:41.600 I don't know that anybody could watch that and think, well, there's someone I want to

00:17:44.320 lead the country.

00:17:45.680 So help me out on this.

00:17:47.320 Um, you know, there's like 3% evangelicals that are sitting out, um, because they're saying,

00:17:53.540 you know, I, I want somebody who's absolutely pro-life.

00:17:57.600 And we talked about this a little bit, uh, during the debate or right after the debate,

00:18:01.940 uh, that, you know, we are dealing with somebody who is so pro-abortion, so pro-death that it's

00:18:11.220 almost bloodthirsty, uh, where you will, where you will vote against the Born Alive Act.

00:18:17.720 I mean, that, that's craziness.

00:18:19.620 Um, how, how do you convince people who are saying, uh, that's my one issue that they need

00:18:27.760 to vote for somebody who might be not as pro-life as they are?

00:18:33.400 Well, it's my one issue too.

00:18:35.140 So I'm very empathetic to how they're feeling.

00:18:38.060 I'm not going to dismiss that as being ridiculous.

00:18:40.620 No, but I also think it's our moral imperative as pro-lifers and as Christians to vote for

00:18:44.880 Donald Trump.

00:18:45.860 And I know that that's a very strong statement to make, to tell someone it's their moral

00:18:49.180 imperative to vote for a certain political candidate.

00:18:51.500 And I will tell you why I am more pro-life than Donald Trump.

00:18:55.060 I am, but we also know exactly how Donald Trump will govern when he is in the Oval

00:18:59.320 Office, when it comes to issues of life, he has a proven record of appointing pro-life

00:19:03.980 justices to the point that they overturned Roe v.

00:19:06.700 Wade, something that no president had been able to do since the Supreme Court handed down

00:19:11.000 that terrible, grisly ruling.

00:19:13.300 He also took taxpayer funded money away from abortions, whether that was taking it away from,

00:19:17.800 uh, Medicaid money or taking our taxpayer money away from funding abortions overseas through

00:19:22.940 the Mexico city policy.

00:19:24.160 This is a guy who actually admirably wasn't pro-life and has had a conversion to a certain

00:19:29.620 extent.

00:19:30.240 And that's a good thing that we want people who are pro-abortion to do.

00:19:33.460 We want them to convert into pro-life people.

00:19:36.000 When it comes to casting your vote, I think if you have voted for any Republican candidate

00:19:41.400 ever in your life, then you have voted for someone who is not absolutist on pro-life

00:19:44.800 issues.

00:19:45.300 I mean, Mitt Romney wasn't absolutist.

00:19:47.280 John McCain wasn't absolutist.

00:19:48.900 George Bush wasn't absolutist.

00:19:50.660 Even Ronald Reagan wasn't absolutist.

00:19:52.520 So if for some reason you're applying a different standard to Donald Trump and J.D.

00:19:56.160 Vance, you should consider why you're applying a different standard.

00:19:59.480 As a Christian myself, not just a conservative, I look at every vote I cast as a lesser of

00:20:06.140 two evils.

00:20:06.680 It is my responsibility to protect the value and the dignity of every human life to the

00:20:10.920 best of my ability.

00:20:11.720 And if there's a candidate who is going to desecrate human life at 10 out of 10, and

00:20:16.500 that candidate is running against another candidate who is going to desecrate life only

00:20:21.460 at a 4 out of 10, meaning he's going to protect life at 6 out of 10, that to me is a very obvious

00:20:26.080 choice.

00:20:26.680 I will always use my voice to push Donald Trump to be more pro-life than he is.

00:20:30.660 And it's effective to use your voice to do that.

00:20:32.700 But at the same time, if we can save millions of lives by voting for Donald Trump just because

00:20:39.680 he's not as pro-life as we are, that is no reason not to vote for him and every reason

00:20:45.220 to vote for him.

00:20:46.100 And that's the case that I would make to Christians and conservatives who are disappointed or

00:20:50.140 even disgusted by the Trump campaign not being as pro-life as we are.

00:20:53.460 I only have two minutes.

00:20:54.380 I want to go the opposite direction.

00:20:55.660 You're talking or you have somebody in your family, a woman who is, you know, against Donald

00:21:02.960 Trump, but you know if they actually knew the facts, they would not.

00:21:08.260 If you had to send one clip of the debate last night, what would it be?

00:21:15.360 It would be the clip about immigration.

00:21:17.800 I think that that's an issue that women care about a lot, that they don't always vocalize

00:21:23.220 that they care about a lot because it's a physical threat to women and to children and

00:21:26.940 to our communities, to our schools, to our health care.

00:21:29.480 I mean, hospitals are being overrun right now by illegal aliens.

00:21:32.980 There are illegal aliens that are raping and murdering children and teenage girls.

00:21:37.140 This is our schools that are full of non-English speaking students, which causes English speaking

00:21:42.080 students, our children, to be less well served by these schools.

00:21:45.540 This is something that's a serious threat.

00:21:47.000 And I thought J.D.

00:21:47.560 Vance handled that very, very well, highlighting exactly what Kamala Harris has done to not only

00:21:52.340 encourage and allow but invite the border crisis.

00:21:55.520 And I think that that's a clip that the Trump campaign would do well to highlight because

00:22:00.320 I think that that's a mind-changing issue for people who are not sure how they're going

00:22:05.060 to cast their ballot.

00:22:05.720 Great.

00:22:05.960 Thank you very much.

00:22:06.900 I appreciate it, Liz.

00:22:08.380 Great to talk to you.

00:22:09.740 Liz Wheeler.

00:22:10.600 Thanks, Glenn.

00:22:11.460 Another host from Blaze TV, the Liz Wheeler show, and also the author of a book, Hide Your Children.

00:22:19.560 All right.

00:22:20.200 When we come back, we're going to continue the conversation.

00:22:25.540 The reason why I asked Liz that last question was, it's not up to the Trump campaign.

00:22:30.260 It is up to us.

00:22:32.240 And I want to try to equip you with some things that you can send out to those loved ones,

00:22:38.680 those family members, that think differently but are not hardcore.

00:22:44.040 They are open to some reason, and they just need a little push.

00:22:51.200 We'll continue that over the next few weeks.

00:23:20.560 you thought, yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been thinking about doing that, but I don't know.

00:23:24.200 I have to just check out what they have to see, but I don't have time.

00:24:33.700 We have Jill Savage with us now.

00:24:35.960 She is the host of Blaze News Tonight, which airs every night, 7 Central, 8 Eastern.

00:24:45.300 And welcome to the program.

00:24:47.300 How are you?

00:24:47.880 I am doing great.

00:24:48.880 I'm doing great because we don't have to go through and say, oh, how did it go last night?

00:24:52.620 Was it good?

00:24:53.260 Was it bad?

00:24:53.780 No.

00:24:54.320 Everybody on the right that watched that, everybody that is a normie, Glenn, that watched that,

00:24:59.000 is like, wait, this J.D. Vance guy, they're trying to tell me he's weird.

00:25:02.800 They're trying to tell me he's out there and crazy.

00:25:06.320 This guy looks pretty normal.

00:25:07.760 And you know what we get from that?

00:25:09.680 The media, of course, anytime he's going to have a sit-down interview, of course, they're

00:25:12.700 going to try and frame it as whatever they can to make the right not in a good glowing

00:25:18.740 image.

00:25:19.800 Boy, they worked hard at that last night.

00:25:21.320 But with live debates, with live television, you can cut right through and speak directly

00:25:27.740 to the American people without anyone interfering.

00:25:31.180 And he shined so bright on that stage last night.

00:25:34.160 Yes, he did.

00:25:34.940 The moment for you.

00:25:37.300 The moment for me was when J.D. Vance came out, his opening remarks, and he hit it later

00:25:42.780 with the economy stuff.

00:25:44.420 But he brought back the American dream.

00:25:46.480 Glenn, on this show, on any show that we're looking at over the last weekend, there's

00:25:52.220 so much doom and gloom out there in the world right now.

00:25:55.520 I don't know what you're talking about.

00:25:56.800 Right?

00:25:57.060 We could have potential World War III, inflation, the port strikes.

00:26:00.560 What's going on?

00:26:01.380 People don't need to be reminded about how bad it is.

00:26:06.220 You can tell you've been listening to this show for a long time.

00:26:08.240 I love this show.

00:26:09.180 I am one who wants the doom and gloom.

00:26:11.220 Tell me.

00:26:11.520 She actually started watching when we were doing headline news at CNN.

00:26:15.420 And she was the one that watched that.

00:26:16.940 Oh, wow.

00:26:17.420 She was the one that watched that.

00:26:19.100 But I look at it and say, OK, people are living their lives.

00:26:23.000 It's hard enough as it is.

00:26:24.520 And J.D. Vance went out on that stage multiple times last night and said, it's OK to still

00:26:29.960 have the American dream.

00:26:31.640 That, to me, is so important because we see poll after poll with millennials, with Gen

00:26:36.440 Zers.

00:26:37.300 And they say, you know what?

00:26:38.380 I don't think that my life, my quality of life is going to surpass that that my parents

00:26:43.720 had.

00:26:44.340 Whether it's true or not, that's what they believe right now.

00:26:47.660 And you need somebody to come back and say, no, it is still possible to live the American

00:26:54.780 dream.

00:26:55.480 So I want to play that clip here in a second.

00:26:57.700 But, you know, J.D. Vance, if I hear one more person say, you know, I grew up in a middle

00:27:02.300 class.

00:27:03.280 First of all, that's great.

00:27:04.760 If you grew up in a middle class and you're now in upper class, fantastic.

00:27:08.660 That's the story of America.

00:27:11.000 But J.D. Vance came out and said, you know, I grew up in a middle class.

00:27:14.340 I don't think he did.

00:27:15.200 He did not.

00:27:15.980 He grew up in the lowest of lower classes.

00:27:19.440 I mean, his mom was addicted to heroin.

00:27:23.260 I mean, he had a horrid, horrid upbringing.

00:27:27.680 He's underselling his story, which is hard to do.

00:27:30.500 And they made the movie about it again.

00:27:32.900 Go watch it this weekend on Netflix, Hillbilly Elegy.

00:27:35.560 But when you look at what he was able to overcome from that childhood, and then Tim

00:27:41.760 Walsh is out there making fun of J.D. Vance for, oh, he went to Yale.

00:27:46.200 OK, at what point are the leftists the one that are making fun of the Ivy League colleges?

00:27:52.160 That's weird in and of itself.

00:27:54.020 But the fact that J.D. Vance could stand there on stage at the RNC and say, my mom had

00:27:59.120 struggled with addiction.

00:28:00.360 And you know what?

00:28:00.900 But if I get into the White House, along with Donald Trump, she will have her 10-year

00:28:04.740 sober chip and we'll have that party in the White House.

00:28:07.360 That story is incredible.

00:28:09.920 And that's why the media will hate him even more.

00:28:13.140 So listen to his opening statement.

00:28:16.240 This is what Jill was talking about of hope.

00:28:18.580 Listen to this.

00:28:19.520 I want to answer the question, but I want to actually give an introduction to myself a

00:28:22.460 little bit because I recognize a lot of Americans don't know who either one of us

00:28:25.060 are.

00:28:25.800 I was raised in a working class family.

00:28:27.700 My mother required food assistance for periods of her life.

00:28:30.560 My grandmother required Social Security help to raise me.

00:28:33.880 And she raised me in part because my own mother struggled with addiction for a big

00:28:37.060 chunk of my early life.

00:28:38.240 I went to college on the GI Bill after I enlisted in the Marine Corps and served in Iraq.

00:28:43.360 And so I stand here asking to be your vice president with extraordinary gratitude for

00:28:47.540 this country, for the American dream that made it possible for me to live my dreams.

00:28:51.640 And most importantly, I know that a lot of you are worried about the chaos in the world

00:28:56.220 and the feeling that the American dream is unattainable.

00:28:59.080 I want to try to convince you tonight over the next 90 minutes that if we get better leadership

00:29:03.580 in the White House, if we get Donald Trump back in the White House, the American dream

00:29:07.640 is going to be attainable once again.

00:29:09.960 He this is one of the reasons why I said he is the best vice president candidate of my lifetime.

00:29:19.800 I can't think of anybody who's even in the category of this guy.

00:29:23.620 He walks on stage.

00:29:25.400 This is the first time Americans have seen him.

00:29:28.360 Many Americans have seen him and seen him in a presidential debate.

00:29:33.500 He could be president tomorrow.

00:29:36.820 You know, I after 20 in 2028, assuming we still have elections in 2028, Ron DeSantis will

00:29:47.120 have a run for his money because this guy is really solid.

00:29:51.280 Absolutely. And he came out like a professor, right?

00:29:53.700 What did he do last night in his opening statement?

00:29:56.000 Here's what I'm going to tell you.

00:29:57.180 Yes, we're going to learn.

00:29:58.460 Here's what we're learning in the middle.

00:30:00.260 And then at the end, wrapping it back up.

00:30:02.320 Here's what we can do as a country.

00:30:05.120 He knows how to frame a message.

00:30:08.180 And oh, my gosh, you guys on the right, please.

00:30:12.020 Can we have more of that?

00:30:13.380 Ron DeSantis is very good at it.

00:30:15.200 J.D. Vance is very good at it.

00:30:17.380 It feels like the politicians, though, they forget that when they get on stage.

00:30:22.600 All the messaging goes out the window and they're in front of the media.

00:30:26.180 We need to clearly articulate our values, our principles, because we have the winning

00:30:32.100 message. The masks are off.

00:30:34.580 They are telling you on the left that they are flat out demonic.

00:30:38.860 It's not it's not a hard game to play right now.

00:30:42.120 This should be the easiest one to go through and message.

00:30:45.220 It is a battle of good versus evil.

00:30:47.580 And and we're on the winning side.

00:30:50.460 So, you know, I'm I agree with you that this is a battle of good versus evil.

00:30:56.720 But I don't think we get get anywhere by calling.

00:31:00.560 And I'm not saying you did this by calling Kamala evil or whatever.

00:31:05.480 I think it is a bloodlust that comes from evil.

00:31:09.760 But I actually think these people really think they're right.

00:31:15.120 It's a funny line.

00:31:16.400 I just drew there like I don't call him evil, but it is from a bloodlust that it results

00:31:20.220 in evil.

00:31:21.140 No, but I get what you're saying.

00:31:23.260 It is.

00:31:23.800 I'm not saying that it is a I'm not saying that they are knowingly doing this.

00:31:28.980 They have they have built this bloodlust up thinking they're doing the right thing and

00:31:36.360 not recognizing you might be in the service of the wrong guy.

00:31:40.940 It's that it's that Nazi and that famous skater is like, are we the baddies?

00:31:44.480 Yeah.

00:31:44.760 Like it's that type of thing at this point.

00:31:47.380 I mean, when you're sitting on stage arguing about the benefits of ending the lives of 63

00:31:53.040 million children, I that's that's their we should all note that's their good polling

00:31:59.840 argument.

00:32:00.620 Yeah, it's not just their fault.

00:32:02.520 The fact that that is the argument that works in the polls to the point that our party is

00:32:07.080 seemingly halfway running away from it is despicable in every way.

00:32:11.300 I think the reason why so many conservatives have changed is because they demonized us.

00:32:18.020 They called us Nazis.

00:32:18.880 And so when somebody calls you a Nazi and a racist, if you're a thinking human being,

00:32:24.940 you you do a little inventory on yourself.

00:32:27.700 Am I what am I saying that is like that?

00:32:30.300 And then you understand, well, no, I'm not.

00:32:34.020 And here's why.

00:32:35.000 Yada, yada, yada.

00:32:36.040 They haven't done that.

00:32:38.020 They have not been pushed in any of their positions.

00:32:42.120 So they just keep sliding lower and lower and lower.

00:32:46.880 And you can't defend it.

00:32:49.000 That's why she's not doing any interviews.

00:32:51.820 That's why Walls this the last you'll see of him doing any interviews or anything else

00:32:56.660 because they've never been pushed.

00:32:59.520 So they can't they don't know how to defend it.

00:33:02.860 Absolutely.

00:33:03.180 And it showed on stage last night that Tim Walls has done one interview with Kamala Harris.

00:33:07.660 And it was a very powderpuff CNN sit down interview.

00:33:11.180 And J.D. Vance has been thrown out there.

00:33:13.820 And you take all the press that you can if it's on a tarmac, if it's a if it's a sit down interview.

00:33:18.760 We don't care.

00:33:19.500 We're going to push him out in front of the American people.

00:33:21.880 And you are going to clearly articulate our vision.

00:33:24.480 But the leftists, they have.

00:33:25.980 They've gone so far down the rap.

00:33:28.980 You just look at it and you say, where do they even start to come back from this and get them back in the center?

00:33:37.180 I think that it's too far gone for for the leftists that are that are truly believing that the abortion is the it's the number one issue.

00:33:45.980 And they will not budge from that.

00:33:48.260 So so what do you do with the rest of America, the normies that are still out there that still say, you know what?

00:33:54.460 I don't think that that's exactly the way that I want to go.

00:33:58.120 Well, I think J.D. Vance articulated that in a very clear, decisive manner last night.

00:34:02.680 You're sending a a text to a friend and you have one clip to pick.

00:34:08.680 You would pick the opening statement, the opening statement.

00:34:12.020 Yeah. And just the fact that he would come back and talk about the American dream a couple different times in that debate, because people need to feel that there is still some hope out there.

00:34:22.680 They can't go about living their days with the doom and gloom that is hanging over their head.

00:34:28.480 That's going to be there anyway.

00:34:30.260 We need somebody that is inspirational, that can say we can get through this and get out of this and end up better on the other side.

00:34:39.880 Let me just end this.

00:34:41.480 Thank you.

00:34:42.240 Thank you so much, Jill.

00:34:43.380 Let me just end this segment with his closing statement, which is bookend the entire debate.

00:34:51.140 Senator Vance, your closing statement.

00:34:54.340 Well, I want to thank Governor Walz, you folks at CBS and, of course, the American people for tuning in this evening.

00:34:59.700 And one of the issues we didn't talk about was energy.

00:35:02.120 And I remember when I was being raised by my grandmother, when she didn't have enough money to turn on the heat some nights because Ohio gets pretty cold at night and because money was often very tight.

00:35:11.660 And I believe, as a person who wants to be your next vice president, that we are a rich and prosperous enough country where every American, whether they're rich or poor, ought to be able to turn on their heat in the middle of a cold winter night.

00:35:24.160 That's gotten more difficult, thanks to Kamala Harris's energy policies.

00:35:27.820 I believe that whether you're rich or poor, you ought to be able to afford a nice meal for your family.

00:35:32.980 That's gotten harder because of Kamala Harris's policies.

00:35:36.180 I believe that whether you're rich or poor, you ought to be able to afford to buy a house.

00:35:39.600 You ought to be able to live in safe neighborhoods.

00:35:41.200 You ought to not have your communities flooded with fentanyl.

00:35:44.640 And that, too, has gotten harder because of Kamala Harris's policies.

00:35:48.720 Now, I've been in politics long enough to do what Kamala Harris does when she stands before the American people and says that on day one, she's going to work on all these challenges I just listed.

00:35:58.680 She's been the vice president for three and a half years.

00:36:02.660 Day one was 1,400 days ago, and her policies have made these problems worse.

00:36:08.540 Now, I believe that we have the most beautiful country in the world.

00:36:12.140 I meet people on the campaign trail who can't afford food but have the grace and generosity to ask me how I'm doing and to tell me they're praying for my family.

00:36:21.320 What that has taught me is that we have the greatest country, the most beautiful country, the most incredible people anywhere in the world.

00:36:29.040 But they're not going to be able to achieve their full dreams with the broken leadership that we have in Washington.

00:36:35.660 They're not going to be able to live their American dream if we do the same thing that we've been doing for the last three and a half years.

00:36:42.060 We need change.

00:36:43.420 We need a new direction.

00:36:44.840 We need a president who has already done this once before and did it well.

00:36:48.300 Please vote for Donald Trump, and whether you vote for me or vote for Tim Walsh, I just want to say I'm so proud to be doing this, and I'm rooting for you.

00:36:56.240 God bless you, and good night.

00:36:58.300 I'm going to make both those clips.

00:36:59.940 I'd like to turn that into one clip, and we'll post that so you can send that out.

00:37:04.300 I'll tweet it.

00:37:05.140 You've got to send that to your friends.

00:37:07.820 Donald Trump, 2024.

00:37:09.800 J.D. Vance, 2028.

00:37:11.100 All right, let me tell you about Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

00:37:14.680 NYPD officer Jonathan Diller's tragic and shocking story made national headlines.

00:37:19.800 During a traffic stop, Jonathan was shot and killed by a career criminal.

00:37:24.680 I wonder if it was a Soros DA that let him out.

00:37:27.120 This was his line of duty death, and it was the first line of duty death for the NYPD in two years.

00:37:33.260 Throughout his three years of service, Jonathan made more than 70 arrests, awarded as having an excellent and meritorious police duty on several occasions.

00:37:42.480 He was 31 years old.

00:37:45.180 He left behind a wife and his one-year-old son, Ryan, and Ryan's brothers and sisters in the New York Police Department family.

00:37:54.240 At the funeral, Stephanie called Jonathan's death devastating and senseless, but said, my husband died a hero, but he also lived as one.

00:38:04.560 These are fallen heroes, and their families need help.

00:38:07.800 Their families need to be held up.

00:38:10.200 And our federal government is worthless right now in recognizing who should be held up.

00:38:17.660 Help heroes like Jonathan and their families.

00:38:20.640 Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org.

00:38:24.880 It's like 95% of every dollar raise goes directly to supporting these guys.

00:38:30.560 It's T, the number two, T, dot org.

00:38:33.700 T2T.org, it's Tunnel to Towers.

00:38:37.180 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:38:47.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:39:17.640 Well, you need a really good financial advisor, but if you just take any financial advisor, it's possible you could get good returns.

00:39:23.700 It's possible, but why not get those good returns anyway and have the investments you're making support your belief system, support your values?

00:39:35.740 You can have both here.

00:39:37.020 This is not a one or the other type of thing.

00:39:38.960 And, you know, if you have opposition to things like woke companies, don't support them with your investment dollars.

00:39:46.480 You don't support them with your dollars in the store.

00:39:48.260 Don't support them with your investment dollars.

00:40:20.760 And I have to tell you, I was so proud to be on this network last night.

00:40:37.760 Yeah, I think I did a good job hosting.

00:40:39.100 You're right.

00:40:39.620 You know, I don't like to take credit for that.

00:40:41.500 It was more the women that were on.

00:40:43.720 I mean, name the strong women conservative leaders that are young and relatable, different.

00:40:56.680 Liz Cheney.

00:40:57.680 Okay, yeah.

00:40:58.380 See what I mean?

00:41:00.040 I mean, the women we have on here, I mean, I'm telling you, Allie is a superstar, an absolute superstar.

00:41:11.180 She's great.

00:41:11.500 She's going to go on to do many, many big things, I think.

00:41:16.560 And I can't wait to read her book, Toxic Masculinity.

00:41:19.340 She's, Toxic Empathy.

00:41:22.240 Yeah, Toxic Empathy.

00:41:23.140 It would be a weird title.

00:41:23.860 What did I say?

00:41:24.500 Toxic Masculinity.

00:41:25.980 Oh, yeah, sorry.

00:41:27.020 First of all, she's great at naming books.

00:41:28.900 I've told her this before.

00:41:29.860 Like, she's just, she's really good at coming up with titles.

00:41:32.640 Toxic Empathy is a great concept.

00:41:34.560 She's really, I think, to, this election is right around the corner.

00:41:38.940 What is done in this election is done.

00:41:41.000 We've talked about it many, many times.

00:41:42.580 But Allie's the type of person I think is really, really important for, for example, the life issue going forward.

00:41:48.060 We have to find a way to not only message that issue successfully, but also to message it and approach it in a way that politicians will embrace it.

00:41:58.300 If politicians don't embrace it on the right, then nobody embraces it at all.

00:42:03.140 And there's no one messaging the issue for life.

00:42:05.760 And Allie's really good at that.

00:42:07.920 Like, talking about it in a way that makes sense, that doesn't sound like you're mean to women.

00:42:12.860 Right.

00:42:13.160 She's very, very good at that.

00:42:14.560 And that's just one example.

00:42:16.260 Next hour, we have Selena Zito on.

00:42:19.240 I also have Dinesh D'Souza on.

00:42:21.500 And I want to talk to you a little bit.

00:42:23.360 I had a conversation last night with Tulsi Gabbard.

00:42:26.200 And she really boiled this down to what this election is really all about.

00:42:32.920 And I think she's right.

00:42:35.220 And it's in all of our faces.

00:42:38.420 But I don't think enough people really understand it, that it is the biggest threat to our democracy.

00:42:46.760 And it's not Kamala or Biden or Trump.

00:42:51.880 It is the biggest threat to our country and our freedom.

00:42:57.000 And I'll go into that here in just a second.

00:42:59.200 Also, Selena Zito is on with us to talk about the impact of the U.S. dock workers strike as well as the debate.

00:43:10.140 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:12.280 All right.

00:43:12.580 Let me tell you about Rough Greens.

00:43:14.680 You like your dog.

00:43:15.560 You love your dog.

00:43:16.240 I love my dog.

00:43:17.520 I don't understand when people don't take care of their dogs.

00:43:20.800 It's just I just don't get it.

00:43:23.240 But that's not you.

00:43:26.320 You would never feed your children, who you also love, McDonald's for their whole childhood.

00:43:33.800 You'd never do it.

00:43:34.740 You'd never do it.

00:43:36.480 Well, that is what we're doing every time we open a bag of kibble for our dog.

00:43:41.860 It doesn't have all of the stuff in it.

00:43:44.740 Probiotics, antioxidants.

00:43:45.840 It needs the vitamins, minerals, everything that's been cooked out.

00:43:49.700 So if you wouldn't do it for your kid, why are you doing it for your dog?

00:43:53.220 Which you'd love, you know, almost just as much.

00:43:56.520 Naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black came up with Rough Greens, not a dog food.

00:43:59.800 You sprinkle it on top.

00:44:01.120 They're going to give you their first bag free.

00:44:03.480 All you pay for is shipping just to make sure your dog will eat it and love it as much as Uno does.

00:44:08.020 It's roughgreens.com slash back, or you can call 833-GLEN-33.

00:44:13.340 So you just go to ruffgreens.com slash back or call 833-GLEN-33.

00:44:19.620 Get your first trial bag, pay for the shipping, and see the difference in your dog.

00:44:23.720 Roughgreens.com slash back.

00:44:25.760 We have no room.

00:44:45.620 It's a new day.

00:45:07.540 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:45:22.680 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:45:28.140 Hello, America.

00:45:29.440 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:45:31.080 We have a ton going on today.

00:45:33.500 The show is absolutely packed.

00:45:35.100 We're going to get right to it in the next 60 seconds.

00:45:37.900 First, let me tell you about Berna.

00:45:39.900 You do not want to be in the position to where you're saying to yourself,

00:45:44.300 I wish I had a gun or I wish I had a Berna launcher.

00:45:48.120 If, you know, your first thought, if at any time you are concerned about stopping at night,

00:45:54.320 getting gas, going through a neighborhood, going downtown, whatever it is,

00:45:59.920 you can get a gun, but that's shoot to kill, or you can get a Berna launcher.

00:46:04.280 I have both.

00:46:05.500 I believe in the Second Amendment.

00:46:06.580 So do the people that make Berna in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

00:46:10.380 Berna is a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home, your car, your wife, your family.

00:46:17.300 It's legal in all 50 states.

00:46:18.980 No permits or background checks required.

00:46:20.920 You can carry it.

00:46:21.740 It's not a problem.

00:46:22.680 Anybody over 18, that's the only restriction.

00:46:25.720 Berna launcher has powerful deterrents like tear gas and kinetic rounds with a 60-foot range.

00:46:30.100 One shot can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

00:46:33.960 Great addition to your home's defense.

00:46:35.600 Visit Berna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.

00:46:40.440 It's Berna dot com slash Glenn.

00:46:43.320 We say hello to the one and only Selina Zito.

00:46:50.500 Hi, Selina.

00:46:52.240 Hi, Glenn.

00:46:53.080 I just want to, first, I know we want to talk about the dock workers, but I've only got like

00:46:58.320 eight minutes or so.

00:46:59.680 Can you talk to me about the, what you thought of the debate last night?

00:47:08.000 So I did what I have done since 2012 and not gone to wherever the debate is because they put

00:47:15.100 you in a room and you're just with other journalists.

00:47:17.920 And I watched it in a bar and I try to pick places where I know the vote swings a lot, right?

00:47:27.920 I pick counties or, or, uh, or towns or municipalities where, where the vote is, you know, sort of up

00:47:34.360 in the air.

00:47:35.520 And there was a diverse group of people in this particular bar and based on them, I mean,

00:47:43.700 my own assessment is, um, the advance that I have covered since 2016 that I've known since

00:47:51.100 2016, uh, it showed up and, and these voters thought the same thing.

00:47:57.480 In fact, there were two, two people at the bar who were undecided and they flipped to

00:48:04.400 Trump Vance.

00:48:05.720 I thought that, that, that the event was for the most part cordial, um, mature, but I thought

00:48:14.500 that Vance showed the side of himself that people have not seen mostly because of the

00:48:21.780 way he's been covered.

00:48:22.960 You know, he's sort of been covered to be this, you know, freak or weird or whatever

00:48:29.800 the word that they're, you know, or extremist, whatever the word is the going, you know, go

00:48:34.020 going description of, but he showed what I have always thought was his greatest strength.

00:48:40.660 He's a happy warrior.

00:48:42.200 Yeah.

00:48:42.500 No matter what argument he is making, he does it in an aspirational way.

00:48:49.220 He always brings the facts and, and he is, is, he's, he's happy.

00:48:57.780 He doesn't want to smile.

00:48:59.420 And people have astonished me as I've watched the coverage of him since he was picked that

00:49:06.500 no one in my profession has picked up on that.

00:49:10.780 And that was my first impression of him in 2016.

00:49:14.020 It was my impression of him when I covered him in the 2020, uh, primary race in Ohio and

00:49:20.100 the general election race.

00:49:21.560 And I think people see that.

00:49:24.680 And, and, uh, my fellow journalists tend to not see that because they don't know anyone

00:49:31.440 from Appalachia.

00:49:32.440 Okay.

00:49:33.100 So before we get to, um, uh, the economy and the, the wharf or the, uh, ports, um, tell

00:49:41.440 me what, uh, tell me what you're feeling on the election right now.

00:49:47.140 What do you think?

00:49:48.240 You know, any idea?

00:49:49.400 I, uh, yeah, uh, it feels very much like 2016.

00:49:53.880 Um, if the election were held today, now, as we have learned crazy things happen minute

00:50:00.640 by minute.

00:50:01.120 We don't know what's going to move anything.

00:50:03.340 Right.

00:50:03.860 Um, however, if the election were held today, I believe Trump dance would win.

00:50:09.360 Wow.

00:50:09.760 Okay, good.

00:50:10.740 Um, all right, let's talk about the, uh, dock workers because, uh, president, uh, Biden

00:50:16.200 yesterday said he's not going to get involved.

00:50:18.160 He doesn't want to get involved.

00:50:19.540 He doesn't want to force them back to work.

00:50:22.020 Um, but he's doing it, I think, because he doesn't want to lose the union vote or hurt

00:50:26.600 the union vote, but at the same time, uh, I mean, 90% of our, like 93% of our medication

00:50:33.340 come through those ports, uh, food, uh, um, cars come through that park car parts come

00:50:40.160 through that, those ports.

00:50:41.360 This is very dangerous to play for more than a week.

00:50:46.500 Yeah.

00:50:47.360 And also, as I wrote about yesterday, far, all of our farm commodities go in and out of

00:50:53.600 that port.

00:50:54.340 And, and, and that's going to have a direct impact on food inflation.

00:50:59.640 You know, farmers are always at the short end of the stick of whatever is going on in

00:51:06.280 the American psyche, politics, weather, uh, trade deals.

00:51:11.180 But, you know, this is a really, really interesting, uh, um, strike to navigate.

00:51:21.640 And here's why forever in a day, um, or at least since the 1920s.

00:51:28.100 So for the past 100 years, automation is what has been killing the jobs for the Merck working

00:51:35.300 men and women in the country.

00:51:37.420 And, and they brought that up as a sticking point in their negotiations.

00:51:44.380 And I think it's really making, uh, people think about all the impact automation and

00:51:51.500 eventually AI is going to have on everyone's job.

00:51:55.800 Yep.

00:51:56.680 Uh, and, and also, you know, they have incredible, meaning the longshoremen right now, they have

00:52:04.360 incredible power right now and attention, something they rarely get and how they navigate

00:52:13.200 that moment is incredibly important in the union movement.

00:52:18.220 Right.

00:52:19.560 I, I would argue that there's no holding on to the union vote anymore for the Democrats.

00:52:26.280 They're going to get a certain percentage of it, but not much.

00:52:30.360 This, the Republican party has become the party of work.

00:52:35.280 It's not, it's not divided down by race in the way that my profession tends to look at

00:52:41.560 it as well as pollsters.

00:52:43.820 They're like, you know, black working class, white working class, Hispanic working class.

00:52:47.900 No, they don't vote by race.

00:52:50.000 They vote by their community and, and what they do.

00:52:55.100 And they're all living shoulder to shoulder.

00:52:57.840 So, so I think that Biden has missed a moment to, you know, look like he's taking leadership

00:53:09.300 and trying to get these guys to work together, meaning, um, um, management and, and, and the

00:53:16.680 union workers.

00:53:17.580 And I think that voters believe that that is something that, that Trump would be better

00:53:25.580 at.

00:53:26.320 Let me, uh, and so.

00:53:27.820 Go ahead.

00:53:28.280 No, finish up.

00:53:29.160 No.

00:53:29.560 And I think that's where we're at right now with this, with this whole scenario.

00:53:32.940 So can we please play cut 40?

00:53:35.420 I want to play, um, the longshoreman's, uh, president, um, yesterday, what he said about

00:53:42.200 the strike.

00:53:43.440 You are going to grind the economy to a halt here on the East coast and the Gulf coast.

00:53:47.360 No, no, no, not us.

00:53:48.460 They are.

00:53:48.840 Don't spin it now.

00:53:49.680 Cause you're Fox news.

00:53:51.080 They're going to drive.

00:53:52.560 Are you worried?

00:53:53.740 Are you worried that this strike?

00:53:56.440 They have the Capitol to settle this thing.

00:53:58.220 Are you worried that this strike is going to hurt the everyday American, the farmers

00:54:02.200 that need to reach the, reach the export market.

00:54:04.240 They're telling me that they're going to hurt.

00:54:05.600 Now you start to realize who the longshoremen are, right?

00:54:08.820 Nobody cares.

00:54:09.420 People never gave a about us until now when they finally realized that the chain is being

00:54:15.620 broke.

00:54:15.940 Now cars won't come in, food won't come in, clothing won't come in.

00:54:21.560 You know how many people depend on our jobs?

00:54:24.420 Half the world.

00:54:25.340 And it's time for them and time for Washington to put so much pressure on them to take care

00:54:30.960 of us.

00:54:31.360 Cause we took care of them and we're here 135 years and brought them where they are today

00:54:36.240 and they don't want to share.

00:54:38.960 What are your thoughts on that?

00:54:40.480 How does that play with the American people?

00:54:42.900 Well, here's the thing, you know, he, he's bombastic.

00:54:47.080 He's a character.

00:54:48.340 He wears a lot of gold, right?

00:54:50.520 Yeah.

00:54:50.640 Um, however, however, he does speak to something that is at the core, very important to a lot

00:55:02.260 of people in this country.

00:55:04.200 And that is being seen, right?

00:55:08.760 Yes.

00:55:09.240 That is, I'm not agreeing or disagreeing what they're doing.

00:55:12.400 This is, this is, this is, um, analysis of a devastating impact.

00:55:17.400 Yeah.

00:55:17.540 Devastating.

00:55:18.020 However, there, the thing that we are missing is, and what they're telling us is, and this

00:55:24.300 is whether you support the strike or not, they are finally in their mind.

00:55:30.460 And a lot of other people out there that work jobs that make our economy go, they're an important

00:55:38.300 cog in our supply chain.

00:55:40.340 They're saying we are being seen.

00:55:44.120 And I think that's the missing component of this.

00:55:48.540 Yes.

00:55:48.840 They're hurting all of us.

00:55:51.560 They are hurting all of us.

00:55:53.700 However, there is that part that I think is most important to explore as there's a whole

00:56:01.300 bunch of people in this country who don't believe black, white, Asian, Hispanic, whatever.

00:56:06.800 They don't feel as though they are seen.

00:56:09.540 And that is at the heart of what's going on right now.

00:56:12.820 I think that is the heart of the Trump campaign.

00:56:16.800 Yeah.

00:56:18.060 Absolutely.

00:56:18.540 I mean, I've written about, you know, East Palestine, right?

00:56:24.000 Yeah.

00:56:24.440 When, when, when Trump went to East Palestine in February of 2021, no, or is that 20?

00:56:33.120 No, 2023.

00:56:34.100 I'm sorry.

00:56:34.480 It feels like forever ago.

00:56:35.600 In 2023, um, he was at the, that was, he was the worst in his polls against Ron DeSantis.

00:56:45.100 In fact, Ron DeSantis was beating him, um, in every primary poll.

00:56:49.820 Now, again, it's a year before, but whatever, um, it, you know, voters were still a little

00:56:55.100 bit irked by losing a winnable Senate, um, um, uh, race in a couple months before, but

00:57:04.080 he showed up.

00:57:05.260 I mean, I was there, he had galoshes on, right.

00:57:09.100 And he's walking through the muddled and pud and it was sleet and raining and nobody knew

00:57:15.300 what was in those puddles.

00:57:17.500 No one knew what was in that soil.

00:57:19.280 We still don't know, but he showed up and that was the pivotal moment for Trump.

00:57:25.380 That's when he started to regain the, the Americans, uh, the trust in the American, um,

00:57:32.280 psyche, that's when he, he became the potential that he has always had.

00:57:39.300 And that's when he never stopped looking back after that moment.

00:57:43.720 Everyone says sort of, okay, it's because of, you know, these, these, these lawsuits or

00:57:50.040 whatever that, you know, make people like him more, maybe possibly, probably.

00:57:55.740 However, I think it was that pivotal moment.

00:57:58.340 And that goes back to being seen.

00:58:00.740 It's the same in showing up in Butler.

00:58:02.900 Why the heck does he go to Butler, Pennsylvania?

00:58:06.280 The part, there's not a big population there.

00:58:08.540 However, is very representative of the people who don't feel seen.

00:58:14.000 And there's 42 miles between East Palestine and Butler, Pennsylvania.

00:58:18.780 And there is no more important 42 miles in the entire country.

00:58:23.740 You can take those 42 miles and place it just about anywhere.

00:58:27.500 And there are people in that, in that, um, that, that spread of mileage that feel the

00:58:33.700 same way about not being seen.

00:58:35.800 So Selena, can I ask you to hold on for just a second?

00:58:38.380 Um, cause I, I want to continue our conversation, um, because I have a important, important

00:58:43.840 question, uh, about the lack of seeing the victims of this hurricane.

00:58:51.740 And if I have a very cynical view of this, and I'd like you to talk me down from the tree

00:59:00.100 on it, uh, we'll do that in 60 seconds.

00:59:02.620 First, no shortage of natural disasters on hand right now.

00:59:05.920 Southern California, three major wildfires recently forced thousands of people to evacuate

00:59:10.240 the area, destroyed dozens of homes.

00:59:12.620 That's just California.

00:59:13.880 I mean, that's, you know, that's a Wednesday, uh, there are other major fires burning throughout

00:59:18.100 Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, as well, tens of thousands of people are out.

00:59:22.800 And of course there's the other side of the country, which is dealing with massive effects

00:59:27.480 of hurricane Helene times like this should make it very, very clear how important it is

00:59:32.820 to be prepared for disasters in every way you possibly can.

00:59:36.260 Now, let me add in the ports and a possible war.

00:59:40.820 I told you a few minutes ago, 93% of our medicines come through those ports that are now closed.

00:59:46.440 What do you do?

00:59:47.880 Go to jasemedical.com right now, j-a-s-e medical.com, uh, enter the promo code Beck at checkout.

01:00:30.600 find anywhere.

01:00:31.240 jasemedical.com, promo code Beck at checkout.

01:00:35.340 10 seconds, station ID.

01:00:46.700 Okay.

01:00:47.460 So there is, um, uh, what, what's happening in North Carolina is, is just dreadful, tragic

01:00:54.780 and shameful.

01:00:56.260 I mean, I, I feel to some degree, like I felt with the Afghanistan, uh, withdrawal, this

01:01:03.420 is shameful.

01:01:04.260 America doesn't do this, uh, to, to have such a lackluster FEMA response, um, and people

01:01:13.360 still helping each other.

01:01:15.500 There's no, there's no soldiers coming.

01:01:17.240 There's nothing.

01:01:17.960 There's nothing.

01:01:18.640 Um, and I, I wondered why would you do that so close to the election?

01:01:24.800 Why wouldn't you have been prepared like crazy?

01:01:28.240 There's lots of excuses that could go, but one is looking at the FEMA, uh, website that

01:01:34.740 they're not, they're about preparedness.

01:01:37.380 They're about equity.

01:01:38.980 They're not that the equity is their number one goal, uh, not disaster relief.

01:01:45.360 Um, so I think there's a change in, in FEMA, but more importantly, and this is the really

01:01:51.600 cynical part, you've just taken out a whole swath of Trump voters.

01:01:57.600 You have taken it where if they don't have electricity, they don't have food, they don't

01:02:02.640 have roads, they don't have cars, they don't have basic necessities.

01:02:06.280 They ain't going out to vote.

01:02:09.080 Is that too cynical?

01:02:10.500 Okay.

01:02:13.500 I have been writing about the Appalachia for a while.

01:02:16.880 I live in Appalachia.

01:02:18.740 It is 423 counties that, that diagonally spreads from Southern New York all the way down to the

01:02:25.960 tip of Mississippi.

01:02:27.880 And it has long been a place that has been ignored by our cultural curators.

01:02:36.680 What do I mean by that?

01:02:37.840 I don't just mean government, which is shameful government, but also corporations, Hollywood,

01:02:45.980 um, uh, you know, institutions, academia.

01:02:50.260 Uh, this is the place that they always ignore.

01:02:54.060 They do not understand it.

01:02:55.380 Why?

01:02:55.860 They don't live anywhere near it.

01:02:57.340 They don't know anybody that came from there.

01:02:59.180 And if they happened to have originally been born there, they have a long shed, any cultural

01:03:04.680 connection to the region.

01:03:06.100 So Appalachia used to be this, this whole diagonal, um, part of our country used to be

01:03:13.580 majority Democrats didn't change until start changing until 2014 changed dramatically by

01:03:19.980 2016.

01:03:20.680 Uh, and, but they are still the same people, right?

01:03:25.320 It's that the parties have left them, but, but they don't, you know, Appalachia is hard

01:03:30.700 to navigate, it's hard to get to, and it's easy to dismiss because there are no, there,

01:03:36.820 there's no centers of power or wealth in any of them.

01:03:40.580 It doesn't behoove our cultural curators to pay attention when disaster hits.

01:03:46.600 Remember last year when Kentucky got ravaged by flooding?

01:03:51.380 Yes.

01:03:52.080 I mean, you probably don't, or unless you were paying attention or lives in Kentucky.

01:03:56.740 No, it was like a story for five minutes.

01:03:59.380 Yeah.

01:04:00.360 And, and this happens all of the time.

01:04:04.240 I will tell you this.

01:04:06.060 These are the most resilient, hardworking, persistent people, and they will find a way

01:04:13.940 to vote.

01:04:14.760 They will crawl through mud to vote, but it is shameful the way, and let's just stick

01:04:21.640 with my profession.

01:04:23.200 The, it is shameful, the lack of attention that it has given to this, given how devastating

01:04:30.920 it is, you know, and, and it is so, it is so shameful that, um, I believe that Mercury

01:04:39.240 one was the first, uh, drop of food and water, if not the first, one of the very few, uh, at

01:04:48.700 the very beginning that, that, that shouldn't be that way.

01:04:51.800 The federal government has the resources.

01:04:54.540 They have the airplanes, the helicopters, they could have been flying in food and emergency

01:04:59.840 supplies within an hour and they didn't.

01:05:05.220 And it is, it's shameful.

01:05:06.640 It's absolutely shameful.

01:05:09.380 The look who stepped up, look at who stepped up in this moment.

01:05:14.180 It is people like you.

01:05:15.820 It is people like Nine Line, like all of these sort of black rifle, all these organizations

01:05:21.620 that are based on people that have served our country.

01:05:25.580 Right.

01:05:26.200 And who else is helping each other?

01:05:28.280 Fellow North Carolinians, fellow Virginians, people from South Carolina, fellow Georgians,

01:05:33.840 and, and, and, and, and West Virginia and Virginia who, you know, who've also been hit.

01:05:38.800 These are the people that have stepped up and maybe the biggest lesson is here is that

01:05:44.260 these people are resilient and they can take care of themselves.

01:05:47.020 No, thank you government.

01:05:48.300 Thank you.

01:05:48.960 Uh, Selena, thank you so much.

01:05:50.260 We'll talk again.

01:05:51.400 Uh, stay safe.

01:05:52.540 By the way, I will be in Appalachia tomorrow afternoon.

01:05:57.020 I'll be in Asheville, North Carolina, unloading yet another, uh, helicopter full of food and

01:06:08.260 supplies, international fellowship of Christians and Jews.

01:06:11.640 Uh, it's not going to come as a shock to you that the war continues in Israel.

01:06:16.060 In fact, it's just getting heated, heated up.

01:06:19.020 Uh, yesterday, Iran launched hundreds of missiles directly into the country.

01:06:24.300 Uh, I mean, you want to talk about a miracle?

01:06:30.420 How many people died yesterday on the, on the Israeli side?

01:06:35.880 I don't think any, I mean, that is crazy.

01:06:40.840 Things are going to get worse.

01:06:42.860 Um, but we need to take a stand and support the people of Israel.

01:06:47.240 We don't need to fight their wars.

01:06:48.560 We just need to support them.

01:06:50.540 Your support of Israel and our people is critical.

01:06:53.580 Please give as generously as you can.

01:06:56.460 They are the, the, um, the fellowship, uh, international fellowship of Christians and Jews.

01:07:02.300 They are on the ground providing the food and the shelter and everything else for the

01:07:06.860 Israelis.

01:07:07.720 Help them.

01:07:08.400 888-488-IFCJ.

01:07:23.560 We're thrilled to have Dinesh D'Souza joining us, a best-selling author, award-winning filmmaker.

01:07:40.860 Uh, his documentaries, 2016, uh, Obama's America and then America imagine a world without her.

01:07:48.300 Some of the top grossing, uh, political films of all time.

01:07:52.560 He's got a new one coming out called, uh, vindicating Trump.

01:07:56.120 We're going to get into that, uh, in, in just a second.

01:07:59.300 Um, let's first start with the debate last night.

01:08:04.740 Yeah, I thought, uh, JD was, um, terrific.

01:08:09.140 He, um, well, he, he vindicated Trump in his, in his own distinctive.

01:08:13.180 And the first time I think anybody has done that really well.

01:08:17.280 Yeah.

01:08:17.840 And he almost, he almost vindicated the virtues of an Ivy League education.

01:08:23.000 Of course, of course, Tim Waltz boasts that no one he's ever taught has gone to an Ivy League

01:08:27.800 school.

01:08:28.560 That's not something a teacher should say.

01:08:30.940 He takes a certain pride in the lack of achievement of his.

01:08:33.760 I've raised a bunch of kids.

01:08:37.120 I taught them and they've all gone on to, well, be farmers and, uh, and plumbers, which

01:08:42.420 is totally fine.

01:08:43.540 But a teacher should be like, you know, and I, I really helped drive somebody to really

01:08:49.640 go on and do something just amazing that they thought they couldn't do.

01:08:53.920 Absolutely.

01:08:54.740 I mean, this, um, the thing about Waltz is he's conveying a certain, I guess they brought

01:08:59.460 him on to bring up, to make a left-wing populism, to counter, uh, JD's appeal to like the white

01:09:06.460 working class.

01:09:07.360 But I'm really not sure that that's Waltz's appeal at all.

01:09:10.680 He has a kind of-

01:09:11.500 What is his appeal?

01:09:12.560 Well, it's a kind of, oh shucks, goofballism, which is a little unbecoming the way I see it.

01:09:19.200 I mean, I don't know if you saw that little scene where he's on the football field, he

01:09:22.720 sees a mascot and he just goes into a massive sports routine.

01:09:27.640 He does the victory sign, he jumps up and down, he hugs the mascot, and you have to

01:09:31.740 remind yourself, this is a 60-year-old man.

01:09:34.640 The emotionalism is out of proportion with the event.

01:09:38.280 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:09:38.720 And, and it's that exaggerated mannerism.

01:09:41.440 I think there's a, you know, we all know there's a kind of fake, fakery with Kamala Harris.

01:09:45.760 I think there's a different kind of artificiality or fakery with, with, um, with, uh, Tim Waltz.

01:09:52.200 The thing about JD Vance and Trump, by contrast, is authenticity.

01:09:55.720 I mean, they're both the real deal.

01:09:57.320 They are.

01:09:57.880 Right?

01:09:58.480 JD came out from, um, from the, kind of the dregs of society as he writes himself.

01:10:03.460 He said, uh, twice, I'm from middle class.

01:10:06.820 No, he's not.

01:10:07.540 No.

01:10:07.820 He's from low class.

01:10:09.400 And not only that, but it's in a kind of way worse because it's one thing to grow up

01:10:13.940 in poverty, right?

01:10:14.860 There are Indians who grew up in the slums.

01:10:16.440 Yeah.

01:10:16.680 But you take a slum kid and you give him opportunity and he'll thrive.

01:10:19.880 Why?

01:10:20.460 Because he's actually got a family.

01:10:21.920 He's got a, a kind of a social structure, even in the slum.

01:10:26.300 Correct.

01:10:26.560 He's just missing opportunity.

01:10:28.200 With JD Vance, if you read about his family, his grandmother setting his grandfather on fire.

01:10:33.140 Yeah.

01:10:33.300 This is a, the cultural dysfunctionality mirrors anything you'd find in a barrio or in a ghetto.

01:10:39.280 Yeah.

01:10:39.500 I mean, his mom is addicted to heroin.

01:10:41.960 How many people do you know that grew up like that, that have achieved just breaking that cycle?

01:10:49.760 Just breaking that cycle is a huge victory.

01:10:52.680 Going on and being a vice presidential candidate who held his own like he did last night, that is only in America.

01:11:01.560 Literally only in America.

01:11:02.960 You know, it's funny.

01:11:03.560 He has the Indian wife.

01:11:04.600 I had him on my podcast and my name, Dinesh, has said Dinesh in America.

01:11:08.320 But in India, it's said a little differently.

01:11:10.080 It's actually said more like Dinesh, right?

01:11:12.500 So anyway, JD comes on.

01:11:14.240 He goes, hello, Dinesh.

01:11:15.780 And it kind of startled me.

01:11:17.020 But then I remembered he got it from Ujah.

01:11:18.800 He probably said, call him Dinesh, you know.

01:11:21.640 And so I chuckled out loud.

01:11:23.280 But so JD has this kind of wonderful life story of moving in a way from kind of rural Appalachia into a certain cosmopolitanism and a certain urbane style, which is very fact driven, very measured.

01:11:38.660 So I thought he was very effective.

01:11:39.860 So I think he was most effective last night at giving people who might want to vote for Donald Trump but are just a little hesitant.

01:11:50.840 You know, I don't know.

01:11:52.060 I thought he made it OK to vote for Donald Trump for those people who are edgy about it.

01:12:00.600 You know what I mean?

01:12:01.100 We also can't forget that Trump is well into his 70s.

01:12:04.320 And I think people who are voting for Trump have to look a little bit beyond Trump.

01:12:09.000 And so JD has to make people comfortable that, hey, you know what?

01:12:12.400 If something happens to Trump and I'm in the saddle, I'm going to be fine.

01:12:15.540 And I think he did do that last night.

01:12:17.280 And it was I mean, it shows Donald Trump is not planning on becoming king forever because that is clearly a successor.

01:12:25.200 He picked a successor.

01:12:26.560 Yeah. And I think also Trump dispelled the idea, which was kind of circulating with Mike Pence, that somehow Trump is this alpha male and he picks people who are very passive, people who will never steal the limelight, people who are not smarter than he is.

01:12:41.380 But JD is in a way competitive on all those fronts.

01:12:44.040 And Trump appears to be very comfortable in picking a guy like JD.

01:12:47.860 So I think it says a lot about Trump as well as about JD.

01:12:50.600 He really likes he likes JD.

01:12:52.140 Let me let me take that same kind of path of making it OK to vote for Donald Trump.

01:13:00.600 I have been saying for a while, I'm so glad you're doing this.

01:13:05.080 Somebody has to compile all of the things that have been said about Donald Trump and compare it to what the truth is now that we can prove all of the things that are true.

01:13:17.580 I just I just saw Leslie stall on 60 minutes back in 20, I don't know, 2017 or some some time.

01:13:25.740 And they were talking about his Russian collusion.

01:13:28.760 And he said, Leslie, that's not true.

01:13:31.900 And they are they they bugged my office.

01:13:36.320 They were spying on and she just became indignant.

01:13:39.960 That's not true.

01:13:41.300 There's no evidence of that.

01:13:43.420 Well, now we know the evidence.

01:13:45.080 Yes. So the vindication of Trump is so important.

01:13:50.000 And the vindication of Trump is important because Trump himself does his own thing.

01:13:54.300 There's a certain appealing shtick.

01:13:55.900 Trump is a bit of a stand up comedian.

01:13:57.940 Of course, in the two assassination attempts, he showed, I think, a sublime level of courage.

01:14:03.140 Oh, yeah.

01:14:03.420 And I don't know anyone alive who would respond to either assassination attempt that way.

01:14:08.840 Not to mention, by the way, the 91 criminal charges.

01:14:11.600 Think of it.

01:14:11.920 Any other Republican facing two criminal charges would probably have exited the field.

01:14:16.820 Yes.

01:14:17.140 May never be heard from again.

01:14:18.700 And Trump not only survives and endures, he is such a he does so much legal rope a dope.

01:14:25.020 He he thwarts all this all the gag orders.

01:14:28.180 You know, he comes right out of the courtroom and starts speaking and taking on the judge.

01:14:32.360 So his ability to forge ahead is sort of legendary.

01:14:35.560 It is.

01:14:35.820 Now, that being said, when I remember flashing back to the Reagan days, Reagan would stand up and make the case for himself.

01:14:41.760 Here are the reasons to vote for me.

01:14:43.580 Right.

01:14:43.800 But Trump does not do that.

01:14:45.740 And that's why this film, Vindicating Trump, it's in theaters now, by the way, 800 and so some theaters around the country.

01:14:51.640 And I have a book of the same title coming out in about a week.

01:14:54.460 Right.

01:14:55.500 VindicatingTrump.com, if I can give the website.

01:14:57.440 Yeah, yeah.

01:14:58.040 Type in your city or your town and boom, the theaters will pop right up.

01:15:02.800 So this has been, I think, an exciting project because, like you say, we can now look back and see all the ways in which devious things were done.

01:15:12.980 And present it as true.

01:15:14.820 Here's a small example.

01:15:16.140 Fauci recently comes out and says, you know that six-foot social distancing rule?

01:15:21.020 Yeah.

01:15:21.240 There were no studies behind that.

01:15:22.860 There was no science.

01:15:23.900 All the follow the science was made up.

01:15:26.300 The rule was made up.

01:15:27.360 But then I always think to myself, well, why?

01:15:29.880 Why did you make up that rule?

01:15:31.580 And the answer, I think, is obvious.

01:15:33.240 And that is, if people have to be six feet apart from each other, you can't have a normal election.

01:15:38.700 Because in a normal election, people stand in line to vote.

01:15:41.120 So the justification for mailing out millions of ballots, mail-in drop boxes, changing all the rules, all of this was connected in some way to the social distancing.

01:15:53.140 That was presented as something that was a mandate, but as it turns out, was a conjecture.

01:15:59.120 Have we even begun to turn the corner on any of this?

01:16:08.160 I mean, I'm seeing, like, I think Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr., his running mate who is, you know, now she's even saying, no, the election was stolen in 2020.

01:16:19.740 She said, I didn't believe it before.

01:16:21.540 I believe it now because I've seen the inner workings of the Democratic Party.

01:16:25.020 This is the point.

01:16:26.180 I think there's been a real, certainly a breakthrough in people grasping how deep this problem lies.

01:16:33.140 In fact, I think we have to give a little bit of rope to Trump in the sense that some of the mistakes that Trump made were he came in from the outside.

01:16:40.980 I think Trump thought, we know the media is left-wing.

01:16:43.620 We know that Hollywood is left-wing.

01:16:45.440 But is the FBI left-wing?

01:16:47.420 The CIA?

01:16:48.420 The military, really?

01:16:49.520 I think Trump thought, if I bring in a general, John Kelly, this guy's going to do what I say.

01:16:53.160 He'll get it done.

01:16:54.000 So the idea that the guys in the lab coats at the CDC and the NIH were ideological, were corrupt, were lying, I don't think that crossed his mind.

01:17:04.240 Yesterday, a couple days ago, I saw George Conway raging on one of these shows, and he was saying, you know, Trump is such a narcissist.

01:17:11.440 He only cares about himself.

01:17:14.000 You know, he doesn't care about people.

01:17:15.320 He doesn't care about the country.

01:17:16.620 And I'm thinking to myself, my mind flashed back to COVID.

01:17:18.860 And I thought, here's Trump.

01:17:20.540 In March of 2020, he's got a roaring economy, which is going to carry him on his little surfboard right across the finish line.

01:17:28.040 And then the people in the white coats come to him and say, you got to shut it down.

01:17:32.420 Right?

01:17:32.900 Now, if Trump only cared about himself, he'd be like, I don't care.

01:17:36.840 Let the pandemic rage.

01:17:38.140 That's not my problem.

01:17:39.400 I want to get across the finish line.

01:17:41.020 That's my goal.

01:17:41.720 But no, Trump immediately goes, you know what, I actually know that I'm killing the golden goose that I created, and I'm going to jeopardize my own chance of re-election.

01:17:51.160 And he did it.

01:17:52.240 And he did it more effectively than what they're saying now.

01:17:57.780 He went beyond what they were saying.

01:18:01.140 They were saying, you know, the left was saying at first, you know, he's a racist.

01:18:06.480 And he's like, I'm shutting it down.

01:18:08.140 I'm shutting it down because this is the advice.

01:18:10.380 That is not remembered either.

01:18:13.640 No, no.

01:18:14.460 And the achievement was that Trump said, look, we need to fight this, and we need to fight this with science.

01:18:21.360 And so he deployed the effort to try to find a vaccine.

01:18:26.240 Now, apparently, they found a vaccine that reduces the severity.

01:18:29.180 But then they started lying about that.

01:18:31.400 Right?

01:18:31.760 You take the vaccine.

01:18:33.640 This is Rochelle Walensky.

01:18:34.860 You can't get COVID.

01:18:35.860 You can't give away, give COVID.

01:18:37.280 The disinformation was coming from the government.

01:18:40.720 That's the whole point.

01:18:42.080 So when Tim Walz stands up last night, he goes, well, you can't shout fire in a crowded theater.

01:18:46.300 We're not talking about shouting fire in the crowded theater.

01:18:48.940 We're talking about the government censoring critics who are saying truthful things in response to the government's own lies.

01:18:56.720 We're not.

01:18:57.920 The theater already burnt down.

01:19:00.160 We're outside saying, who started the fire?

01:19:03.220 It appears maybe the firemen were involved.

01:19:06.440 That's the difference.

01:19:07.660 And that's when free speech must happen.

01:19:10.420 Must happen.

01:19:11.140 I think the key thing I'm trying to do here with Trump is answer, en passant, or along the way, the Republican who says something like this.

01:19:19.100 I don't like Trump, but I like his policies.

01:19:21.420 Or they'll say, you know, he needs to shut his mouth.

01:19:24.240 Or Dinesh, tell him to stop posting on social media.

01:19:26.500 So there's a certain idea out there that we need a new and different Trump, a kind of a reform Trump.

01:19:31.940 We need to remake Trump.

01:19:33.500 But my point is that a lot of Trump's greatest qualities come out of the same personality that is over the top.

01:19:41.840 I mean, Trump is obviously, you know, he's a salesman.

01:19:45.180 And he'll say things like, for him, the crowd isn't just big.

01:19:48.480 It has to be the biggest crowd ever.

01:19:49.680 Yeah, yeah.

01:19:49.960 The burgers at Mar-a-Lago aren't just good.

01:19:52.460 They're like the best burgers ever made.

01:19:54.180 You know, that's Trump.

01:19:54.960 And everyone knows that.

01:19:56.180 Even his dictator for a day is Trumpian shtick.

01:19:59.880 Now, I'm not a dictator, but maybe for one day.

01:20:02.240 You know, this is like stand-up comedy.

01:20:03.820 And the left pretends to take it seriously.

01:20:06.240 I think that's the key point.

01:20:07.140 They pretend that he poses this severe threat.

01:20:10.960 Deep down, they know he doesn't.

01:20:12.020 But deep down, they also do fear him like they don't fear any other Republican.

01:20:16.800 I've only got about 40 seconds.

01:20:18.520 Tell me about the idea of 7% in the latest polling coming out of Pennsylvania.

01:20:28.420 There's a seven-point spread between people who say they're going to vote for Trump

01:20:32.020 and people who say, I know Trump and his policies are better for me economically and for my life.

01:20:40.400 What's that gap?

01:20:41.680 And does that go away?

01:20:43.140 Do those 7% actually walk in and vote for Trump?

01:20:47.080 Yeah, I think if the American people could see there's a dimension of Trump, he's a genuinely nice guy.

01:20:56.800 So, for example, he's famously egotistical in public, right?

01:21:00.140 He loves praise.

01:21:01.280 In private, he's not.

01:21:02.660 He's actually self-deprecating and he shows great curiosity about people.

01:21:06.720 He also is very – he has a certain generosity of spirit.

01:21:12.280 Yes.

01:21:12.700 And all of this is evident to people who are around him.

01:21:15.860 I try – the centerpiece of this film is a one-on-one with Trump.

01:21:18.760 And I tried to bring out that private dimension of Trump.

01:21:21.880 Yes.

01:21:22.260 Which I think will give people a great deal of not just comfort but enthusiasm in supporting him.

01:21:27.000 Okay.

01:22:02.980 They are trying to put them out of business.

01:22:05.900 You will only have big food.

01:22:59.000 Or we're sorry.

01:23:00.880 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:02.980 We'll be right back.

01:23:04.500 We're going to have to play the Tim Walls answer on you weren't in Tiananmen Square, but you were in Tiananmen Square.

01:23:29.860 It was one of the worst answers I've ever heard.

01:23:32.060 I don't know how he wasn't prepared for that.

01:23:34.060 Everyone knew that question theoretically was coming.

01:23:37.140 I guess.

01:23:37.860 Theoretically it was coming.

01:23:38.960 You've never been challenged before.

01:23:41.040 You know.

01:23:41.360 Maybe that's it.

01:23:42.140 The press never challenged you.

01:23:44.260 What do you make of the idea that because they put, you know, Tim Walls in bubble wrap since he was named, he just didn't have the wraps.

01:23:53.200 I mean, it looked at times like he was out of practice of doing interviews slash debates.

01:24:00.240 You know what he reminded me of is, do you remember Ross Perot's?

01:24:06.100 The general?

01:24:07.200 The general.

01:24:07.700 Admiral.

01:24:08.520 Admiral Stockdale.

01:24:09.560 Yeah.

01:24:09.800 And he was a great guy.

01:24:11.520 Yeah.

01:24:11.700 He was really well qualified, but he had never done anything like that.

01:24:15.900 And, uh, and he just got slaughtered by the press.

01:24:20.960 That is honestly, I kept thinking of him last night.

01:24:24.320 I don't think he's good.

01:24:26.060 Like Stockdale, I think was very well qualified for what he does.

01:24:30.120 I don't think the walls is, but he's, he's never done it before.

01:24:35.660 And by not talking to the press, by not actually running for office the way you're supposed to, he was ambushed.

01:24:42.900 I want to talk to you about a new sponsor.

01:24:45.240 I am actually very, very excited about, uh, it is called the up phone, the up phone.

01:24:50.560 It's a smartphone that takes control of your information and, uh, it does not let it go anywhere.

01:24:58.300 Um, it's, um, you know, a constitutional right, our privacy and everybody has access to it.

01:25:04.260 No matter, you know, what you're doing, where you're going, it, everybody has access to it.

01:25:08.900 It's crazy.

01:25:10.360 The up phone is like a digital vault.

01:25:13.400 Um, it's a fortress.

01:25:14.740 Now it doesn't, it doesn't exist in Apple or the Google, you know, mobile ecosystems.

01:25:19.980 It comes with its own operating system, uh, and has its own app store and everything else.

01:25:25.460 You can get everything that you, you want, um, its own messenger, which you can make end to

01:25:31.500 end encrypted calls and video calls.

01:25:33.580 You can send files and photos, even create a secure chat group, uh, VPN antivirus.

01:25:39.840 It is a tremendous, tremendous phone.

01:25:42.620 You've been monitored and surveilled and digitally exploited by big tech.

01:25:46.760 This takes all of big tech's power away.

01:26:41.100 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:26:44.760 Hello, America.

01:26:46.200 I want to talk to you about, um, mass deportation.

01:26:51.120 It is not only not immoral, it is absolutely critical.

01:26:57.620 It is, there is a tactic being used against the United States and we have to get familiar

01:27:01.840 with it and fast.

01:27:03.260 It's called asymmetric warfare.

01:27:05.780 And it is being used on us by both our political adversaries, but our military adversaries as

01:27:12.200 well.

01:27:12.540 And the, the means of attack is immigration.

01:27:15.980 Progressives are using it to collapse the system, overwhelm it, collapse it, and then rebuild.

01:27:21.220 Our global enemies, however, are using it to destroy.

01:27:24.560 And we are not prepared.

01:27:26.620 Tonight, on my Wednesday night special, I'm going to show you the real threat that we are

01:27:31.100 facing due to our open and unsecured border.

01:27:34.520 I'm going to show you the secret meetings in South America convened by our biggest rivals

01:27:40.560 that include some of the scariest terrorists in the entire world.

01:27:44.120 I'll show you how they are being trained in places like Iran, formed into criminal elements

01:27:50.040 south of the border, and are now committing atrocities in cities all across the United States.

01:27:55.800 The case for mass deportation is not racist.

01:28:00.000 It's not heartless.

01:28:01.220 It is common sense.

01:28:03.080 And it has to happen.

01:28:05.140 Tonight at nine, we cover that.

01:28:07.640 Coming up in just a second, Chip Roy.

01:28:10.340 We'll talk about this, other things that are happening around the world, and the debate

01:28:15.080 last night.

01:28:15.660 Chip Roy joins me in 60 seconds.

01:28:19.200 Silver is up 35% since the beginning of this year.

01:28:23.500 Gold is at 27, just over 2,700 right now.

01:28:28.860 That is way up, way up.

01:28:31.380 And Goldman Sachs came out and said they think they will end the year at 2,900 an ounce.

01:28:37.720 Others say it could be over 3,000.

01:28:40.880 I think we're going to hit 3,000 an ounce soon.

01:28:44.200 But that's just me.

01:28:45.340 Don't listen to me for investment advice.

01:28:47.700 Listen to me, however, on being prepared, please.

01:28:51.380 Global demand for silver rose by 18% last year to a record high of 1.24 billion ounces.

01:28:59.700 This is a huge supply deficit, according to the Silver Institute.

01:29:03.160 Now is the time.

01:29:04.560 Gold or silver, please protect you, your family, and all of that money that you have put into

01:29:10.780 a 401k or you have saved.

01:29:13.260 Please protect it.

01:29:15.620 10% of what you might have in savings, please put it in gold or silver so you have something

01:29:21.860 when all of this falls apart.

01:29:24.080 800-957-GOLD.

01:29:26.020 800-957-GOLD.

01:29:28.400 Call them today.

01:29:29.540 It's Lear Capital.

01:29:30.760 800-957-GOLD.

01:29:36.500 The lovely and talented Chip Roy is with us now.

01:29:40.660 Hello, Chip.

01:29:42.000 Good morning, Glenn.

01:29:42.880 How are you, brother?

01:29:43.440 I am.

01:29:44.200 I'm really good.

01:29:46.160 I wish people were taking the crisis that we are facing on the border more seriously.

01:29:54.580 I think it's getting better, but I don't think people understand what we are actually facing.

01:30:00.620 And the state of Texas came out and called a spade a spade.

01:30:03.960 The Venezuelan gang has now been, by Texas, called what it is, a terrorist organization.

01:30:11.080 Well, you know, look, I do think the election season, J.D. Vance last night, broadly speaking,

01:30:18.960 where we've been trying to drive the message over the last few years, is taking root.

01:30:23.060 It's taken time.

01:30:24.240 We obviously have a media that doesn't want to help.

01:30:26.160 They covered up.

01:30:27.240 They, you know, they basically make excuses for an administration that is purposely abusing

01:30:31.500 our borders to achieve their political aims.

01:30:34.980 And in the process, they are endangering Americans.

01:30:37.520 Americans are dying and migrants are getting abused.

01:30:40.040 J.D. handled that very well, pushing back on that last night.

01:30:43.280 I know we'll talk about the debate in a minute, but on the issue, it's really important, because

01:30:48.260 this comes up a lot.

01:30:49.180 I know you get this a lot as a man of faith.

01:30:52.740 We get pushed back on it, saying it's unchristian-like, right, that we are not being compassionate.

01:30:58.600 You hear the Pope out there talking about this.

01:31:01.140 If we want to have our borders be secure and stop the flow of illegal immigration.

01:31:07.100 I think that is exactly backwards.

01:31:09.360 The Bible is very specific about sovereignty, about God's plan, about the nations.

01:31:15.820 You know, you don't have to look any further than the history of Israel itself and how they

01:31:19.640 dealt with boundaries.

01:31:20.660 And there's plenty of scripture recognizing sovereignty in God's plans.

01:31:24.580 But importantly, it is inherently unchristian and uncompassionate to allow these children to be abused, allow people to be abused, be put in harm's way, to be used by the cartels, to be then put in slave labor, to be put in the sex trafficking trade, to have 320,000 kids get misplaced by our bureaucratic government who's being supposedly compassionate.

01:31:46.860 We need to stand up for a sovereign nation because we have a right to do so.

01:31:52.940 So Elon Musk says this very well.

01:31:55.520 Are you truly going to invite 7.7 billion people on this planet to come join the 300 million plus Americans and say that we don't have borders?

01:32:05.060 Well, then we don't have a nation.

01:32:06.380 It just defies common sense.

01:32:08.100 So the rule of law matters, and this is the last point I'll say, the rule of law matters for the very people that are attracted to come here.

01:32:15.320 Because if we don't have the rule of law, if we don't have a nation, then they have no place to go.

01:32:20.560 The huddled masses have no place to long for and strive for.

01:32:24.120 And then we weaken the rest of the world.

01:32:25.900 We weaken the Western Hemisphere.

01:32:27.360 We empower our enemies.

01:32:28.880 And you have 35,000 Chinese nationals coming here.

01:32:31.160 You have all of these terrorist organizations.

01:32:33.100 You point out the Venezuelan gangs.

01:32:34.600 They're real.

01:32:35.040 I went out to Aurora, Colorado.

01:32:36.560 I went and met with the residents of those apartments who lost their ability to have a home, who didn't have a manager on site.

01:32:43.400 Venezuelan gangs were changing the locks.

01:32:45.320 This is all real.

01:32:46.260 It's true.

01:32:47.460 And thankfully, people are waking up.

01:32:49.720 Some of us have been screaming this for five years, some of the Congress.

01:32:53.060 Finally, I think the American people are finally waking up.

01:32:56.040 So, tonight on the TV show, I'm exposing some of the things that are happening overseas where they're training for activities here in the United States, in places like Iran.

01:33:09.680 We are in serious trouble.

01:33:13.660 Our Department of Homeland Security has said that it's only a matter of time now and all of the lights are flashing red.

01:33:22.660 I'm surprised we haven't been hit yet, but I would expect one after the election or shortly before the election.

01:33:30.980 What is it going to take for people to understand this is not going to get better unless you make a massive change in leadership?

01:33:45.260 Well, I hope people are starting to see that.

01:33:50.400 You know, what we see right now is the destruction of America.

01:33:55.480 Nothing less than that.

01:33:57.120 And I think it's really important.

01:33:58.860 And I think I'm in a unique position to make that point.

01:34:02.920 You no doubt have listeners who have long fully supported President Trump.

01:34:07.140 Maybe a few that were, no, I support DeSantis, but now they're back to Trump somewhere.

01:34:11.200 I was out there advocating for Ron DeSantis.

01:34:13.220 He's a good friend and a good man.

01:34:14.340 And I very much respect him.

01:34:16.920 I can't overstate how critical it is and important it is that Donald Trump get elected on November 5th.

01:34:24.720 I cannot overstate that.

01:34:27.360 If we don't get him elected, I don't believe the republic can survive.

01:34:34.040 I don't think it is any.

01:34:35.700 I don't think that's hyperbole, Glenn.

01:34:38.020 Like we live in a world where people do this stuff for clicks.

01:34:41.120 They do this stuff and they say outrageous things.

01:34:43.340 I don't like making statements like that.

01:34:46.240 I believe in our country.

01:34:47.520 Our country turns 250 years old in 2026 on July 2nd when we voted to break away from England.

01:34:55.400 I believe in the values of this country and the greatness of so many Americans.

01:35:01.180 But this administration, the current radical progressive Democrat regime, have completely disintegrated our safety, security, and culture.

01:35:10.840 They've invited masses of people into our country, released known criminals, known murderers.

01:35:18.740 Think about that.

01:35:20.040 You saw that data that was released last week with the 13,000, 15,000 known murderers and whatever.

01:35:25.040 We've known this.

01:35:26.880 We finally get a report from the administration confirming it.

01:35:30.380 We've known it because you can see it with your own eyes.

01:35:32.840 Laken Riley's family knows it.

01:35:34.760 Jocelyn Nungare's beautiful mama, Alexis Nungare, knows it.

01:35:38.280 Kayla Hamilton's family knows it.

01:35:40.340 Rachel Morin's family knows it.

01:35:42.920 Do I need to keep going down the list?

01:35:44.640 That's what they're doing to us.

01:35:46.880 So to take it back, you asked the question, what will it take?

01:35:51.020 I think we're seeing what it will take, I hope, in real time.

01:35:54.920 But we're going to have to show up on November 5th and, as President Trump says, make it too big to rig.

01:35:59.800 So let me ask you that question.

01:36:04.620 FEMA doesn't seem to be pulling out all of the stops to help the people in Appalachia.

01:36:11.060 That is Trump country.

01:36:13.300 I don't know who is working on making sure that the people who don't have roads, cars, electricity are in five weeks going to be able to pull a lever for whoever they want to vote for.

01:36:30.260 Are we doing anything about that?

01:36:32.040 Well, without getting into specifics, with some good friends of mine in North Carolina, I've been having conversations with about that very point, ensuring that we're able to get all of the people who want to have a say in their elections and should have a say in their elections, despite the absolute tragedy that has occurred in the western part of North Carolina and the eastern part of Tennessee.

01:36:53.520 Don't want to forget that as well.

01:36:54.560 No, I know.

01:36:55.240 It's Appalachia.

01:36:55.860 And I know you don't.

01:36:57.700 I just meant, you know, broadly, we all keep talking about North Carolina and, you know, parts of Georgia, parts of Tennessee, they've all got to hit hard.

01:37:03.980 But to your point, yes, some conversations are going on to make sure we try to focus on that.

01:37:08.980 I've had some good conversations with the national GOP.

01:37:12.000 There's a limit to what you can do to some degree, right?

01:37:13.980 It's local, you know, local registrars, and they have to figure out how to get it done.

01:37:18.580 Obviously, right now, we're trying to get, you know, Elon, God bless him, is donating Starlink.

01:37:23.160 We're trying to get that stuff out.

01:37:24.180 FEMA's nowhere to be found.

01:37:25.180 The FCC and all of the federal government that walked away from allowing Starlink to be given out to increase broadband.

01:37:31.540 Instead, they're sitting around, and now these people don't have anything.

01:37:33.900 So Elon and others, private sector people are stepping up.

01:37:38.160 And I will say that's one thing.

01:37:39.660 You know, go back to the Cajun Navy from a few years back, right, that came over to help during the floods and the hurricanes.

01:37:46.260 My friend Corey Mills down in Florida, he's working with private sectors and some guys that are, you know, ex-military.

01:37:52.560 They're flying in, flying helicopters, and they're just sticking their middle finger up to the bureaucracy, to the federal government and local government, by the way, that wants to get in the way of it all.

01:38:01.500 That's the way we save our country.

01:38:03.160 It's not getting in this weird, like, you know, internecant battles in D.C.

01:38:08.020 I do my best up here to try to basically, the way some of my friends put it, we're kind of prophets to a degree.

01:38:13.740 We have to, like, kind of go look at what's going on, send up the warning signals.

01:38:18.440 You know, I wrote a letter in April about the George Soros radio issue because I saw it coming.

01:38:25.760 That's our job, right, is you look out, you go put that stuff out there, and you try to highlight for the people so we can raise the issue.

01:38:33.220 Because, like it or not, I'm 1,435th of one-half of one-third of this crap hole, and we have to build numbers.

01:38:40.660 And the American people in our system are the ones that help us build the numbers.

01:38:44.040 So that's, you know, what we try to do.

01:38:45.660 I got off target, sorry.

01:38:46.760 No, that's fine.

01:38:48.540 Are we going to actually look into the funding of those George Soros funders?

01:38:54.840 Yeah, I mean, you know, we're looking into it.

01:38:57.880 Like I said, I rose the issue up, got some committee folks looking at it, trying to figure out there's some lawsuits.

01:39:03.320 You know, some of our friends at America First Legal, there's going to be, I think, some radio stations and some others that would have standing.

01:39:08.720 We're trying to figure out who would have standing.

01:39:10.540 I don't have standing, I don't think.

01:39:11.940 We're trying to figure that out, how we can at least litigate it to try to stop it because what they're doing is unprecedented.

01:39:17.620 It's unlawful, we believe.

01:39:19.620 Do I have standing?

01:39:20.720 Because I'm on some of those stations.

01:39:22.540 Do I have standing?

01:39:23.220 You may be, and you might need to have that conversation.

01:39:25.760 I'm happy.

01:39:26.340 Let's have that conversation.

01:39:27.240 You might have standing because we need to elevate that issue.

01:39:30.660 It's a huge, huge issue.

01:39:32.100 You know better than I do.

01:39:34.300 And so, you know, look, I was talking to Brendan Carr in the FCC.

01:39:38.060 He's been one of the leaders on this.

01:39:40.080 I'm sure you've followed it out there in social media.

01:39:42.480 And Brendan, he's been putting this out there.

01:39:44.560 I said, dude, what do we do?

01:39:45.420 He goes, God, we've got to win in November because we're outvoted.

01:39:47.760 You know, they lost three to two.

01:39:49.500 It was a bad decision, but that's what happens.

01:39:51.300 It's like the people that run FERC.

01:39:52.620 It's like the people that run everything else.

01:39:54.240 If we don't win in November, back to the point, you know, five minutes ago, we lose the country.

01:39:59.700 That's what's at stake.

01:40:00.840 It's things like this, the FCC.

01:40:02.640 Yeah.

01:40:03.220 Tulsi Gabbard said to me last night, I was talking to her after the debate, and she said, Glenn, this is all about freedom of speech.

01:40:11.800 The last thing that J.D. Vance said in the debate was this is about freedom of speech, and it is.

01:40:19.760 We are going to lose freedom of speech if they are reelected to another term.

01:40:25.000 And we are going to lose our very way of life as a result, and we're going to be attacked on our Second Amendment.

01:40:32.880 We're going to be attacked on all of the things upon which our nation was founded.

01:40:37.020 These rights come from our creator.

01:40:38.700 They are our rights.

01:40:39.540 The government that was created by the founders recognized those rights.

01:40:43.240 They didn't give us those rights.

01:40:45.140 We have to flex our muscle as people who, as the Declaration lists out, as Jefferson and, to some degree, some help from Adams and Franklin, as those guys wrote that out, it was very clear what they meant.

01:40:58.040 And we are supposed to live freely, and we need this government to reflect that because we love our country, we look at the flag with pride, we look at the history and all that it stood for.

01:41:10.320 I believe we can take it back.

01:41:12.300 But let's remember, we have a right to live free.

01:41:15.060 That's the bottom line.

01:41:19.520 That's what it actually boils down to at the end.

01:41:22.080 And so this election is going to decide whether or not these 50 states can stand united and be a strong and sovereign nation.

01:41:34.780 This election is going to decide that.

01:41:37.580 Again, I don't like engaging in hyperbole, but when the founders talk about the right to pursue happiness, we've got to pursue happiness.

01:41:46.960 I want it to be with this country.

01:41:48.360 We better win in November to make that happen.

01:41:49.960 Okay.

01:41:50.840 Chip, thank you so much.

01:41:52.600 I really appreciate it.

01:41:53.680 God bless you.

01:41:54.500 Chip Roy from the great state of Texas, congressman from the state of Texas.

01:41:58.940 All right, let me tell you about our sponsor.

01:42:00.500 It's International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

01:42:02.620 Every Jewish person living in Israel right now is in a time of crisis.

01:42:06.440 I talked to my friend who lives over in Israel last night, and he said, Glenn, he said, I was out with my daughter.

01:42:13.300 And he said, we were in the car, and we had to drive home, and we're watching these rockets come in.

01:42:20.240 Can you imagine seeing those missiles?

01:42:24.280 By the way, you want to know the most unlucky person?

01:42:26.800 Can we show, which clip is it?

01:42:32.320 It's the clip of, is it 39?

01:42:35.480 Go ahead.

01:42:36.820 Play 39.

01:42:37.440 Yes.

01:42:37.920 Okay, so let me show it again.

01:42:42.920 And I'll describe it.

01:42:45.020 There's a guy walking on the street.

01:42:46.380 He's a Palestinian.

01:42:47.800 And a rocket is shot down.

01:42:50.740 And boom.

01:42:52.300 The rocket comes falling out of the sky.

01:42:57.020 This guy's just walking down the street, and it's like a Bugs Bunny cartoon, where the safe or the piano falls out of the sky.

01:43:08.220 It is crazy how unlucky this guy was.

01:43:12.020 But anyway, it's a crisis over there, and it could get much, much worse.

01:43:18.780 We need to support Israel, and the best way to do that is let Israel fight its wars, and make sure the Jewish people know that we're not the Christians that Germany had.

01:43:31.180 We are different, and we support them.

01:43:34.600 We know who they are.

01:43:36.240 I want you to give as generously as you can to support Israel and her people at IFCJ.

01:43:42.880 Just go to supportifcj.org.

01:43:45.420 That's one word, supportifcj.org.

01:43:48.120 You can give, or you can go and donate now on the phone at 888-488-IFCJ.

01:43:53.180 IFCJ, that's 888-488-4320, what is the last number, 20, I can't see it, 25, okay, 888-488-4325.

01:44:07.820 All right, it's International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

01:44:11.580 All right, 10 seconds, station ID.

01:44:21.820 What?

01:44:23.180 All right, can we play the, can we play the full answer of Tiananmen Square?

01:44:31.520 I mean, this is the weirdest thing.

01:44:34.360 This guy just is a pathological liar, just a pathological liar.

01:44:38.060 And it's not just lying about, okay, my, like, for example, he also lied about the border thing,

01:44:43.240 where he said Donald Trump had more people crossing the border than they, that's a blatant lie.

01:44:48.440 Everyone knows it's a lie.

01:44:49.640 It's crazy.

01:44:50.120 This is about his life.

01:44:51.100 So, yeah, listen to this.

01:44:52.180 Governor Walz, you said you were in Hong Kong during the deadly Tiananmen Square protests in the spring of 1989.

01:44:59.560 But Minnesota Public Radio and other media outlets are reporting that you actually didn't travel to Asia until August of that year.

01:45:07.940 So later.

01:45:08.880 Can you explain that discrepancy?

01:45:11.320 Yeah, well, and to the folks out there who didn't get at the top of this, look, I grew up in small, rural Nebraska, town of 400,

01:45:19.040 town that you rode your bike with your buddies till the streetlights come on, and I'm proud of that service.

01:45:23.420 That's service?

01:45:23.700 I joined the nation of Arctic 17, worked on family farms, and then I used the GI Bill to become a teacher, passionate about it, a young teacher.

01:45:31.920 All right.

01:45:32.080 My first year out, I got the opportunity in the summer of 89 to travel to China.

01:45:37.000 35 years ago, be able to do that.

01:45:39.180 I came back home and then started a program to take young people there.

01:45:44.100 We would take basketball teams.

01:45:45.460 We would take baseball teams.

01:45:46.920 We would take dancers.

01:45:48.100 And we would go back and forth to China.

01:45:49.840 The issue for that was to try and learn.

01:45:52.200 Now, look, my community knows who I am.

01:45:54.760 They saw where I was at.

01:45:56.240 They, look, I will be the first to tell you, I have poured my heart into my community.

01:46:00.920 I've tried to do the best I can, but I've not been perfect.

01:46:03.980 And I'm a knucklehead at times, but it's always been about that.

01:46:06.960 Those same people elected me to Congress for 12 years.

01:46:10.800 But they didn't know that you were lying about.

01:46:12.700 I was one of the most bipartisan people.

01:46:13.880 They were falling for your lives.

01:46:14.700 Things like farm bills that we got done, working on veterans benefits.

01:46:18.100 And then the people of Minnesota were able to elect me to governor twice.

01:46:21.660 So, look, my commitment has been from the beginning to make sure that I'm there for the people,

01:46:27.080 to make sure that I get this right.

01:46:28.700 I will say more than anything, many times I will talk a lot.

01:46:33.160 I will get caught up in the rhetoric.

01:46:35.600 But being there, the impact it made, the difference it made in my life, I learned a lot about China.

01:46:40.600 I hear the critiques of this.

01:46:42.000 I would make the case that Donald Trump should have come on one of those trips with us.

01:46:45.820 I guarantee you he wouldn't be praising Xi Jinping about COVID.

01:46:48.840 Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to the worst answer given by any candidate in the debate ever.

01:46:53.760 So this is about trying to understand the world.

01:46:57.100 It's about trying to do the best you can for your community.

01:47:00.140 And then it's putting yourself out there and letting your folks understand what it is.

01:47:03.660 My commitment, whether it be through teaching, which I was good at,

01:47:06.700 or whether it was being a good soldier or was being a good member of Congress,

01:47:10.260 those are the things that I think are the values that people care about.

01:47:12.760 But, Governor, just to follow up on that, the question was, can you explain the discrepancy?

01:47:19.760 All I said on this was, is I got there that summer and misspoke on this.

01:47:23.420 So I will just, that's what I've said.

01:47:27.160 So I was in Hong Kong and China during the democracy protests went in.

01:47:33.040 And from that, I learned a lot of what needed to be in governance.

01:47:37.720 Good God.

01:47:39.100 Good God, man.

01:47:40.640 Stop.

01:47:41.440 You should just run off the stage.

01:47:43.080 Oh, man.

01:47:43.580 I just want to, I got to, I'm going to give a big bowl of rough greens to him.

01:47:47.100 You know, doggy, doggy.

01:47:50.400 You have no idea what you were talking about.

01:47:53.460 Our dogs in our lives for a very short amount of time,

01:47:56.620 they come along when you, you know,

01:47:58.320 you don't even know how much you really need them and want them.

01:48:02.460 And they leave you way before you're ready for them to leave.

01:48:07.780 While you have them, you want to do everything you can to make sure that they stay as healthy as possible,

01:48:12.800 happy as possible.

01:48:14.420 Great ways to do that with rough greens.

01:48:18.300 Rough greens is not a dog food.

01:48:20.020 It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black that you sprinkle on your dog's food.

01:48:25.220 Remember, kibble food, everything has been sterilized.

01:48:27.340 It's out, it can sit on a shelf for two and a half years and it's still exactly the same.

01:48:32.340 Rough greens adds back in some of the things they need,

01:48:35.240 probiotics, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals,

01:48:37.980 and they want to give you the first trial bag for free.

01:49:09.540 So we have a pretty jam-packed day today in the next couple of days.

01:49:13.140 It's going to be tonight, Wednesday night special, a special you don't want to miss.

01:49:20.100 It's on what's really happening, who's really in our country,

01:49:24.020 and why are some of these people training in Iran and then coming across our border?

01:49:29.620 We will show you stuff that nobody else will show you tonight for the Wednesday night special at 9.

01:49:36.960 Then tomorrow, I am going to be, I'll do the show, and while we're doing the show,

01:49:42.620 the Mercury One staff is going to be loading a plane full of goods and things that they need in North Carolina.

01:49:52.580 Tomorrow, after the show, I'm going to get onto a plane, deliver that,

01:49:57.840 and then load some of it on a helicopter to bring it to Asheville.

01:50:03.560 And I'll be in Asheville, and hopefully I will be back at the midnight hour to be able to do the show on Friday from here.

01:50:13.540 So, and I'll report to you what I saw in Asheville.

01:50:18.140 And what I'm going to see, I know, is just the unbreakable spirit of the people of Appalachia.

01:50:25.700 All right.

01:50:26.520 The other thing that happened yesterday that is so important is Israel.

01:50:31.940 Israel is going to respond, I believe.

01:50:35.760 We have Lieutenant Colonel Retired, Jonathan Conricas.

01:50:40.280 He's been on with us before.

01:50:41.300 He is a former Israeli Defense Forces spokesperson and now Senior Fellow of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

01:50:49.040 And we wanted to get you on, Jonathan.

01:50:52.480 First of all, assuming you're in Israel, you're safe, and that's good.

01:50:57.880 Tell us what happened yesterday and what it means going forward.

01:51:03.300 Yes.

01:51:03.940 Hi, Glenn.

01:51:04.720 Thank you for having me again.

01:51:06.200 A pleasure.

01:51:06.620 What happened yesterday was the biggest missile attack in Israeli history.

01:51:15.360 About 200 ballistic missiles were fired from about 800, 900 miles away in Iran at Israel.

01:51:25.520 The Iranians claimed that they were aiming for military targets, but most of the impacts were actually in civilian neighborhoods.

01:51:31.920 And luckily, and quite ironically, some may say, the only casualty in life was a Palestinian in Jericho.

01:51:43.580 No Israeli citizens were killed.

01:51:46.700 And while there were some impacts at an Israeli air force base, nothing of substance and no real damage, neither to infrastructure or to military capacity.

01:51:58.320 I heard that several F-35s were taken out.

01:52:03.220 That's not true?

01:52:04.880 That is absolutely categorically not true.

01:52:08.200 Wow.

01:52:08.500 There wasn't a single plane hit, not a single hangar or bunker, and no single runway.

01:52:15.360 There were some logistics buildings in one of the airport spaces.

01:52:19.540 I'm not going to say the name, but one of the airport spaces was a hit.

01:52:23.360 It's already been fixed and patched up, no damage to the Israeli air force's capability to continue to operate.

01:52:30.980 And as our enemies know, the Israeli air force continues to operate in Beirut, in other parts of the Middle East, in southern Lebanon, over Gaza.

01:52:40.380 And so the Iranian propaganda of having 90 percent of their targets were hit, absolutely false.

01:52:49.160 And luckily, air defenses again proved the enduring return on investment here, many years of investing, U.S. and Israel doing that together.

01:53:00.200 And for the second time in the moment of truth, air defenses were almost airtight and saved lots and lots of lives in Israel.

01:53:12.020 I have to tell you, I mean, I don't know if you're a religious man or not, but I am.

01:53:19.000 And 200 missiles being launched, ballistic missiles coming in and going into Israel and for no one to be killed and your air force and your military bases not to be destroyed is an extraordinary miracle, I think.

01:53:41.780 I would agree, and you don't have to be, you know, fearing in every day to recognize that something special happened again yesterday.

01:53:55.420 This is the second time that the Iranians unleashed massive firepower.

01:54:00.480 And just for the viewers to be, you know, to be able to understand what we're talking about, the missiles that the Iranians fired are as big as school buses.

01:54:08.420 And they fired 200 of them, each one of them, with hundreds of pounds, with about half a ton of explosives in their warheads.

01:54:17.160 So we're talking about very serious weapons, large explosions.

01:54:20.780 My family, we were in a bomb shelter.

01:54:23.600 My son got caught outside.

01:54:26.620 He was on the bus and then ran to a shelter.

01:54:29.260 And it was really a scene out of a movie with explosions and interceptions and outhitting in Tel Aviv.

01:54:36.160 And as you said, the fact that no substantial damage and no loss of life, yeah, many would say, and probably I would agree, that this was a miracle.

01:54:45.640 It's clear defenses, IDF, and a miracle.

01:54:48.000 I have to tell you that I watched those missiles come in live, but, you know, obviously from the other side of the planet.

01:54:56.860 And I thought, what must that be like?

01:55:01.640 You know, I thought of missile launchers, missile launches here going outbound or coming in.

01:55:06.720 Something very few people in the world have seen what happened yesterday.

01:55:11.480 It must have been terrifying for the average person, seeing everything.

01:55:17.880 The sky just lit up with fire.

01:55:21.740 Yes, the sky lit up with fire.

01:55:24.080 And each one of those dots in the air, you know that they're attached to hundreds of pounds of explosives.

01:55:35.520 They're lethal, and that they're aimed at the Israeli cities.

01:55:39.440 And there's explosions all around, lots of noise.

01:55:43.440 You know, we have, just like in the U.S., you have the Amber Alerts system on your phone.

01:55:48.780 So the Israeli defense establishment did the same thing and issued like a push notification on all of the phones,

01:55:55.140 even those who didn't have an app downloaded.

01:55:57.500 And millions of Israelis simultaneously got very strong alarms on their phones, calling them to immediately go to shelters.

01:56:07.340 And that's what millions of Israelis did.

01:56:09.380 And that's also what thankfully led to the fact that even though some of the missiles exploded in populated areas in Israel,

01:56:17.220 nobody was hurt because Israelis were disciplined and went into bomb shelters, and nobody was caught out in the open.

01:56:23.920 So is Benjamin Netanyahu, do you think, going to respond to this?

01:56:30.960 Will he strike Iran?

01:56:33.820 And is there any fear that they are going to cut off the oil pathways?

01:56:47.160 Are you there?

01:56:47.940 Yeah, so when we look forward, then I think that the – yeah, I'm here. Can you hear me?

01:56:53.920 Yes, Ken, go ahead.

01:56:55.100 Can you hear me?

01:56:55.760 Yes.

01:56:56.920 Yes, right. So when we look forward here, I think that two things will determine what happens next.

01:57:02.320 One is the Israelis' endgame.

01:57:06.080 What does Israel seek to achieve?

01:57:08.860 Because there are a lot of things when it comes to the Iranian regime, and I'll clarify.

01:57:14.780 And the second thing that is very important is how well will Israel coordinate with the United States of America,

01:57:23.240 and what will the level of support be that Israel will receive?

01:57:27.120 Now, regarding the first part, Israel can go for regime targets, seats of government, leaders, and personnel,

01:57:34.700 and infrastructure that is part of the Islamic regime.

01:57:37.280 Israel can go for military and economic targets, specifically the places whereby the Iranian regime facilitates the export of oil,

01:57:49.260 and whereby they make money, which is used, of course, to fund terror activities, all of the terror organizations around Israel.

01:57:55.620 And the third option, which, of course, many are eyeing and thinking about, is Iran's nuclear military facility,

01:58:03.000 the research facilities, the storage facilities, and many others.

01:58:05.900 These are three distinctly different types of targets, and it really matters what does Israel want to achieve.

01:58:12.160 Does Israel want to bring down the regime?

01:58:14.320 Does it only want to deter the Iranians from attacking Israel again?

01:58:18.460 Will Israel be told not to do anything significant by the Americans?

01:58:23.820 And I'll, of course, remind everybody, last time that the Iran attacked on the 13th and 14th of April,

01:58:29.300 Israel wanted to retaliate in a much stronger way, but refrain from doing so under American pressure.

01:58:36.880 And instead, Israel focused on continuing and finishing the job in Gaza against Hamas.

01:58:42.120 I don't think that we're going to see that today,

01:58:44.380 and I think that we're going to see, in the coming days, a strong Israeli response.

01:58:49.840 It may be aimed at the regime.

01:58:51.660 It may be aimed at their nuclear facilities.

01:58:54.060 What I think is absolutely important, ahead of any Israeli activity,

01:58:58.500 is that Israel and the United States of America are coordinated.

01:59:02.960 And I hope American leaders will see this current situation, this threat to Israel,

01:59:08.380 as an opportunity to really do more in a week than what has been accomplished in 10 years of failed diplomacy

01:59:17.520 when it comes to stopping Iran from going nuclear.

01:59:20.500 I really think there's an opportunity here.

01:59:22.120 Yeah, I think that would be good, as long as, you know,

01:59:25.600 there are calls from both sides yesterday that America needs to send more troops over.

01:59:31.060 I think we already have 40,000 that we've sent over.

01:59:33.400 We don't want to be in another war.

01:59:37.960 This one could go global.

01:59:39.380 I think Israel is showing the world, don't screw with us.

01:59:43.720 You guys are doing a great job, and I support that.

01:59:47.800 I just don't want to see us inflame things by including ourself in the actual strikes.

01:59:57.940 But supporting you to do that.

02:00:00.320 I agree with you, and I wouldn't want a single American serviceman in harm's way,

02:00:08.020 and I don't think that anybody needs to be fighting Israel's wars.

02:00:12.780 And I think that Israel, in its history, has many times done the heavy lifting for the rest of the Western world,

02:00:19.780 whether it's been dealing with Iraqi dictators or with Syria or with many others.

02:00:25.400 And Israel is quite accustomed to it.

02:00:27.980 The only thing that Israel asks is military support, supplies, and, of course, political and diplomatic support.

02:00:34.900 I don't think that Israel needs or wants any American servicemen to be in harm's way.

02:00:39.720 And I would just say a tremendous gratitude towards American servicemen in CENTCOM,

02:00:45.620 deployed in the Red Sea on the U.S. Navy ships and in the air,

02:00:52.560 done tremendous work in intercepting Iranian missiles, very professional and super important.

02:00:58.260 And I hope that they remain safe.

02:01:00.380 And I hope that Israel can have the diplomatic and military freedom to do what it needs to do in order to defend itself.

02:01:07.280 Well, we here support you on whatever you have to do to defend yourself.

02:01:13.780 I support you, I should say.

02:01:15.740 And I think there are millions of Americans that are listening that feel the same way.

02:01:20.060 Jonathan, thank you so much.

02:01:21.700 I really appreciate it.

02:01:22.740 Thank you.

02:01:23.240 You bet.

02:01:23.660 Lieutenant Colonel Retired Jonathan Conrycus, former Israeli Defense Forces spokesperson.

02:01:29.460 The only thing that you should really be looking for is escalation, but most importantly, as he was talking about, Red Sea.

02:01:39.800 When you get into the straits over there, just off the shores of Iran, if they start going after our Navy ships or they try to close those straits down,

02:01:51.460 that is the world's flow of oil and we will get involved in that and that will become very, very, very dangerous because this one will not be a partial war.

02:02:07.360 This one will include, I believe, bombings in our streets.

02:02:12.780 I believe we are close to terrorist activity, foreign terrorist activity in our own streets, orchestrated by Iran and a lot of others who are here and want to destroy us.

02:02:26.580 So we, especially during this election season, we all need to be good Americans together.

02:02:33.120 Not Republicans, Democrats, but good Americans and start paying attention to these issues so we can take care of our own self first so we survive this time period.

02:02:45.500 Back in just a minute, let me tell you about my Patriot Supply.

02:02:49.280 You will never, ever, ever regret for planning for emergency situations for yourself and your family, especially if and when those emergency situations actually arise.

02:02:58.480 Let me tell you, if you were at Costco yesterday, my wife went to Costco and, you know, she said, I listened to you.

02:03:06.460 I knew, you know, don't panic, she said, but I wanted to go to Costco just to make sure that we have, you know, everything that we would need short term.

02:03:16.840 She said Costco yesterday was packed.

02:03:20.340 Last night when I got home after the debate, I was going through some things on X and I saw people taping themselves in Costco lines all across the country like I've never seen before.

02:03:32.320 That's a good thing in some ways.

02:03:34.580 That's people preparing for tough times because tough times are coming.

02:03:40.520 So please prepare.

02:03:43.480 You don't know what's right around the corner.

02:04:42.060 All right, we have the Pulsecast, which is a daily look at what the latest polls say, all boiled up with not just the polls, but the betting markets and everything else.

02:05:12.060 Just to give you an idea of where we are on the election.

02:05:16.300 And the numbers seem far apart, but actually the way this is compiled, it's a coin toss, or at least it has been for the last few weeks, a coin toss on who's going to win.

02:05:26.360 What do we have today?

02:05:27.440 Latest update, the last update before the vice presidential debate.

02:05:31.400 None of the polling obviously is included yet.

02:05:33.520 Donald Trump with a 44.09% chance of winning the election.

02:05:38.260 That are up or down for the day?

02:05:39.760 It is up slightly a tick from yesterday.

02:05:43.760 But just to give you a sense as to how close this is right now, seven swing states.

02:05:48.000 The big blowout one is in Nevada where Kamala Harris leads by 2.2.

02:05:52.280 Jeez.

02:05:52.660 Wisconsin, 1.7.

02:05:54.560 Pennsylvania and Michigan, she leads by 0.6.

02:05:56.900 Trump leads in Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina by 0.8, 0.5, and 0.2.

02:06:03.780 Oh my gosh.

02:06:04.580 I mean, you want to talk about an election that you-

02:06:07.060 This could go either way.

02:06:09.080 Either way.

02:06:10.680 I mean, man, everybody's got to get out and vote.

02:06:15.400 Rent school buses.
