Glenn Beck is back with a brand new show on his radio show, "The Glenn Beck Program." He talks about his dog, Uno, getting him to eat some dog food, and why the Midwest is so cool. Also, Act Blue is doing a special on tonight's TV show about corruption in our government.
00:11:05.600It's just so crazy what people are saying about him.
00:11:08.600Now, so he's, you know, I'd like to call him the name that people call him in the state
00:11:14.120occasionally, and that's Tampon Tim, which I think is very dignified and shows what he's
00:11:20.780for, and that is tampons in boys' restrooms.
00:11:23.700You know, he, you know, who are you to say you shouldn't have, you should, you should use the restroom, you know, designated for the sex you were born with?
00:11:34.800And it's so bigoted, so weird, so weird.
00:44:28.860We've never had a candidate change at the last minute and then had all of this money that was pledged to another campaign suddenly just be transferred to another name.
00:45:49.960So events are unfolding rapidly in the Middle East right now in Israel.
00:45:53.600They've gone from fighting a one-front war to now two-front, and it is—it's looking pretty solidly that it's about to become a three-front war.
00:46:03.220Every bit is a war they did not ask for, but a war they're going to have to finish.
00:46:08.560And the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on the forefront in Israel since the beginning of this war, addressing the needs of the most vulnerable.
00:46:17.880That is why I'm partnering with them today, and you can too.
00:46:20.860Your life-saving donations are helping to provide emergency food as well as critical security needs, things like flak jackets, firefighting equipment, armored vehicles, bomb shelters, and so much more.
00:46:35.460They're looking for 500 of my listeners to join them and join a fellowship and me by donating $150 to meet these urgent security needs.
00:47:53.680And you're right, what you said at the top, which is that it's a completely unprecedented situation.
00:47:58.600I mean, we haven't had anything like this happen for at least 50 years, to have a presidential nominee drop out just a few weeks before the convention, before he's been formally nominated, and hand over his entire campaign operation, including millions of dollars, cash on hand, to a different candidate, to his vice presidential nominee, although she hasn't been formally nominated yet.
00:48:20.580It's really no surprise that this raises a lot of legal questions.
00:48:24.220It's, again, a completely novel situation.
00:48:26.560Some experts have tried to argue that this is permissible, but a lot of electional experts have raised a lot of big questions about this.
00:48:34.200Some have said it is unlawful, that you can't just switch the name on a committee and give it over to another person without that being an illegal transfer.
00:48:42.940It's something that is going to have to go through an FEC process and maybe a court process, too, to get to the bottom of it.
00:48:48.240So I know that for my charity, let's say, if I raise money and it is designated for, let's say, hurricanes, I can only use that money to help people recover from hurricane.
00:49:03.920I cannot transfer it to another, and even if it's a bigger emergency, legally, I can't move that money to any other place.
00:49:13.160It's the same kind of thing with this, isn't it?
00:49:16.320I mean, it's a big question what these donors were told and what they thought they were given to.
00:49:21.900To your point, all of these people were giving money, they thought, to reelect Joe Biden as president.
00:49:28.020And now they're being told, no, actually, this money is going to a completely different candidate that you may or may not really approve of.
00:49:35.140One of the big questions that happens in their FEC guidance is whether donors in that kind of situation are entitled to a refund or to have the campaign be required to ask their permission to redesignate it.
00:49:49.440I think one of the big problems, though, is really just the lack of time on the clock.
00:49:53.980We're in a situation where the election is less than 13 weeks away at this point and the wheels of government move so slow.
00:50:01.860I'm concerned that really none of this is going to get resolved before Election Day.
00:50:06.820And it won't really matter after Election Day, will it?
00:50:09.340I mean, I think for all intents and purposes, right, any fine or any unwinding that happens after the fact is really not going to do anything to change the vote count on Election Day.
00:50:21.680So the money she got from the Biden-Harris campaign, they transferred over.
00:50:28.100But is that really that's really not that important compared to what she's raising now?
00:50:35.500I mean, she's raising money hand over fist like like I've never seen before.
00:50:40.880No, I think I think that's a fair point about maybe why at the end of this at the end of the day, this this won't matter much.
00:50:47.160I mean, reportedly, both the Harris Committee and the Trump Committee, right, are raising hundreds of millions of dollars every month.
00:50:54.060They have to report that to the FEC every every month on the 20th.
00:50:58.560So, for example, in a little bit less than two weeks here, we'll get the hard numbers on what they raised in July.
00:51:04.760The Harris Committee, I believe, reported over three hundred million dollars raised.
00:51:09.680So it may be the case that whatever cash was left over from the Biden Committee doesn't make a big difference at the end of the day.
00:51:16.780We're talking to the Federal Election Commission chairperson.
00:51:21.280He's the guy who is, you know, at the SEC that is or the FEC that is making sure that all the money is on the up and up and everything is played by the rules.
00:51:31.500His name is Sean Cooksey and Sean, the to be fair to them, you could make the case that when I gave money to Biden, Harris, a lot of people would say I was just giving it because I didn't want Donald Trump and Harris was part of that team.
00:51:52.480And if Joe Biden would have died, wouldn't the money have gone to her anyway?
00:51:58.120Well, I think the big problem with that possibility is the fact that this happened before the convention.
00:52:05.060And so one of the big sort of open questions is what happens when she's on the paperwork?
00:52:11.400It's called, you know, they call her the vice presidential nominee, but she really hasn't gone through the roll call vote.
00:52:16.440She hasn't been nominated by the convention yet.
00:52:19.160In that case, you know, it would also have been possible for Joe Biden to to switch vice presidential nominees and things would be very different.
00:52:26.220And so I think, again, it's going to have to go through some kind of court process ultimately at the end of the day to get that settled.
00:52:33.020And I don't think that's going to happen before the election, unfortunately.
00:52:35.960So I don't know if this is your purview or you can comment on this, but this is the first time that I have seen in American history where the democratic process didn't really happen.
00:53:55.760Oh, I think, I think you're right that it is absolutely not a grassroots nominating nomination process.
00:54:03.580I think it's really the exact opposite of that, which is party leaders, party elders, uh, coming together to decide, you know, amongst a couple dozen of them who they want as their nominee.
00:54:16.440And in fact, it's really sort of a throwback to the way parties used to nominate presidential candidates, right?
00:54:22.400Sort of in the proverbial smoke filled rooms where they would say, you know, primaries, uh, be damned.
00:54:28.840Uh, we don't really care what the voters think.
00:54:30.460We're going to just make a selection as the bosses of, uh, who's going to be up for president.
00:54:35.200And I think that's really kind of a, a good summation of what happened here.
00:55:45.600And that is, if somebody makes a donation of, let's say a hundred dollars, all of a sudden it'll show up on the books that they made an $18,000 donation.
00:55:55.120And they did it in ways that aren't even humanly possible.
00:55:59.360Um, and we looked into this, uh, tonight.
00:56:03.500I mean, when we show you this America, you're, I think you're going to be, you're going to be flabbergasted.
00:56:09.040James O'Keefe did a recent report where he highlighted donations to a Cindy Noe, N-O-W-E of Maryland.
00:56:17.460She claimed to have not made the majority of the donations.
00:56:21.260If you go to the FEC data page on Cindy Noe of Maryland, the note, the donations through act blue do seem suspicious.
00:56:29.720We're not saying that it is, it's illegal.
00:56:33.160Coincidentally, through an accident, as we were double checking the work, one of our researchers typed in Cindy Rowe, R-O-W-E of Massachusetts.
00:56:45.720And you find the same exact donation pattern on a Cindy Rowe instead of a Cindy Noe.
00:56:53.560So, yes, James O'Keefe was right about Cindy Noe, but the same pattern is there with Cindy Rowe.
00:57:00.200So, what makes it even more suspicious is that the names are nearly identical, only one difference.
00:57:08.160Are you guys looking into these irregularities here or these strange instances?
00:57:16.580Well, you know, as you said, as a matter of law and FEC policy, I can't comment on any investigation the FEC may or may not be doing.
00:57:24.460But what I can say at a general level is that the FEC takes misreporting and straw donor schemes, which is, I think, another name for what you called smurfing.
00:57:34.040We take those things extremely seriously.
00:57:36.600Those are some of the most serious violations that we have at the FEC, where you are misreporting your identity on campaign finance reports, where you are giving someone else money in order to make a political contribution for you.
00:57:48.960Those are very serious violations. Many people have gone to prison for those kinds of things.
00:57:54.260And I know that this is an issue that reporters have been focused on.
00:57:58.940I know it's one that other government agencies are looking into.
00:58:02.000The Virginia Attorney General, I know, and the Committee on House Administration and Congress are looking into this.
00:58:07.800I think it's worth watching their work on that issue and any results that come out of their investigations.
00:58:15.320And is it because the FEC is, I mean, you may or may not be investigating it, but you're so slow.
00:58:22.180Will it matter if the FEC picks it up?
00:58:25.740Well, ultimately, we do move as fast as our resources allow on any enforcement matter.
00:58:32.760And there are also opportunities for private parties to get involved if we move too slow under the statute, whether something can come out.
00:58:41.700Wait, wait, wait, wait. What does that mean? Private parties can get involved. What does that mean?
00:58:46.240Well, under the statute for the FEC, when you file a complaint with the FEC, any private person can file a complaint with the FEC alleging a violation of campaign finance law.
00:58:57.380And under the statute, if the FEC doesn't act on that complaint, doesn't give, you know, an up or down vote on whether this is something we're going to look into or not within 120 days, the person who filed the complaint can then sue saying that we are we are too slow.
00:59:14.520We are not acting on their complaint fast enough.
00:59:16.940And then ultimately, if it's shown that we're not acting on that complaint fast enough, that person then can file a private lawsuit to enforce the law themselves.
00:59:24.900Wow. Wow. And the like the Virginia attorney general, I'm not sure, you know, if you can answer this or if you can if you even know the answer, but the attorney generals, they can only look at the the potential fraud that's happening in their state.
00:59:45.980So Cindy Rowe in Massachusetts would have to be the Massachusetts attorney general.
00:59:51.540I don't know the specific limits on their authority.
00:59:56.940Certainly, attorney generals have really wide ranging, you know, subpoena authority and investigatory authority to to launch their own inquiries into these things to start demanding documents and witnesses and interviews, whether that could be limited to just their own states.
01:00:12.260It might depend on the state. It might depend on where ActBlue is operating and where their servers are and things like that sort of as a jurisdictional question.
01:00:20.220So I think the one thing that you do know, though, is that Congress has jurisdiction throughout the entire country and they wouldn't be limited in that kind of way.
01:00:28.500One last question. And we've got to run a network break. But the they'll say that this is just all politics. This is just a smear campaign.
01:00:38.860I don't want to be involved in any of that. I want to look for real things. Is there enough smoke here to believe that this is worth questioning?
01:00:46.900It doesn't no outcome, but it is a legitimate line of inquiry.
01:00:53.880I mean, I think the the actions sort of speak for themselves here when you have multiple agencies, members of Congress, attorneys general who have been alerted and are interested enough to operationalize their offices to sort of get machinery moving to to get the facts.
01:01:12.260I think that really speaks speaks for itself. This is the Federal Election Commission, the FEC chairman, Sean Cooksey. Sean, thank you so much. God bless.
01:01:23.240Thank you so much, Glenn. You want to find out everything we're talking about in great detail.
01:01:27.960Watch tonight's Wednesday night special on Blaze TV. I think it'll I think it'll open your eyes and hopefully you'll get some friends to see it, too.
01:01:36.240All right. Let me tell you about my Patriot Supply. Let's see where we've been just in this last week.
01:01:42.660We found out now we have the most progressive socialist candidates ticket that we've ever seen.
01:01:49.060This is the most radical ticket that we've ever had in any major party.
01:01:54.120OK, you'll get a kick out of this, too. She's just tampon Tim from Minnesota.
01:02:00.380That's what they call him in Minnesota, because he wants tampons in boys' bathrooms and he wants kids to be able to make their own decision on cutting their noodles off.
01:02:08.580And he said that he would build a ladder factory if Donald Trump was going to build the the wall at 30 feet.
01:02:15.740He'd build it. He'd he'd open a ladder factory to make ladders at 35 feet.
01:02:20.640I mean, he's a he's a good guy and a socialist.
01:02:23.200What could possibly go wrong? I don't know how this election is going to work out.
01:02:29.460And I pray that everything goes well and we have peace no matter what happens.
01:02:34.880But we could we could be in real trouble real fast.
01:02:38.200And you need to have supplies on hand just in case there's some sort of disruption.

01:04:40.480Sure. I don't know what it meant, really, I think, to have a great night's sleep before I discovered my pillow.
01:04:47.260You know, I toss and turn at night and I'm always fluffing my pillow because it gets hot and you have to flip it over and then you fluff it back up.
01:04:54.600You don't have to do that with my pillow. It stays fluffed all night.
01:04:58.060It remains cool on your head and it contours exactly to your comfort needs.
01:05:02.720You don't know what you're missing out on.
01:05:04.560And I have to tell you, I didn't like it the first night and I got this because I had the small pillow.
01:05:11.300Mike Lindell came into my office and I said, Mike, you know, he said, what do you think about the pillow?
01:05:15.500And I said, you know, it's and I can't lie.
01:05:18.540And he said, you really don't like it, do you?
01:08:12.200And tomorrow on my YouTube channel, youtube.com slash Glenn Beck.
01:08:16.420How dark money elites have anointed Kamala Harris to control the election.
01:08:23.280Now, I want to play something that I hope, it is my honest prayer that every day I can reach somebody, and they don't even have to agree with me in the end, but reach somebody that hasn't done their homework, who has just listened to the media, and has bought into all of this stuff.
01:08:43.340But they're starting to go, you know, something doesn't seem right.
01:08:46.500Every day, I just hope that one person in this audience wakes up.
01:08:51.680Because it's not just about the country.
01:09:36.960Well, last night, I was most worried about the Supreme Court's prospective imminent abdication of its very clear duty to disqualify Donald Trump from the ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
01:09:50.720And what that might mean if their decision says that it's really up to Congress on January 5th or January 6th, 2025, to disqualify him at the counting of the electoral college votes, which really could lead to something akin to civil war.
01:10:10.540If that's what the suggestion is, which is what I think I heard when I went to the oral argument, that they themselves were unwilling to rule whether or not the Colorado Supreme Court was correct in finding that he had engaged in insurrection on January 6th, 2021.
01:10:29.020I want you to understand what he was saying.
01:10:34.640The 14th Amendment, Section 3, was written about the Civil War.
01:10:40.640And it was, if you were Jefferson Davis, who was a congressman or a senator, I can't remember, and he was the head of the Confederacy, because he was the president of the Confederacy, he engaged in insurrection.
01:10:57.040And so he could not then become president of the United States.
01:11:01.400Anyone who was engaged in insurrection could not be president of the United States.
01:11:05.920Well, that was very, very clear back then who was part of the insurrection and who was not part of the insurrection.
01:11:44.500So he hasn't been charged, he hasn't been tried, nor has he been convicted of that.
01:11:51.220But Raskin just believes that he was involved in an insurrection and doesn't even think they need to make the legal case.
01:12:01.540He thinks the Supreme Court just should have said, no, it was insurrection.
01:12:05.260So what he's saying here is, if he is elected, we're going to charge him with insurrection under the 14th Amendment Section 3 and disqualify him before he is officially sworn in as President of the United States.
