The Glenn Beck Program - Glenn Asks President Trump About Dolly Parton, Canada, Iran, and the Rise of Sharia Law ｜ Guest： President Donald Trump ｜ 8⧸26⧸26

00:00:00.000 Let me ask you a question, and I want you to really think about it.

00:00:02.740 When a decision gets made about your health care, who's in the room?

00:00:06.540 Because it's not just you and your doctor.

00:00:08.240 It's your insurance company.

00:00:09.900 They have files on you, pages of it.

00:00:12.320 And here's the part it should bother you.

00:00:14.180 It's not always accurate.

00:00:16.140 Somebody from this audience found this out.

00:00:17.940 He called Chapter the only Medicare advisor that I trust because his cost kept climbing,

00:00:23.080 and nobody would tell him why.

00:00:24.400 His Chapter advisor dug in and found the record that they were using on him,

00:00:28.660 and it was flat-out wrong.

00:00:30.000 So she corrected it and went back to work finding him better options.

00:00:34.380 Nobody else is going to do that.

00:00:36.100 That's the difference.

00:00:37.140 That's chapter.

00:00:38.060 Their advisors aren't paid to push one plan over another.

00:00:40.680 They're on your side of the table.

00:00:42.320 They compare every Medicare plan nationwide.

00:00:44.900 They have found people an average of $1,100 a year in health care savings.

00:00:48.600 And the call is completely free.

00:00:50.240 It'll take you about 20 minutes.

00:00:51.780 Talk to chapter today.

00:00:53.300 Dial pound 250.

00:00:54.340 Say the keyword chapter.

00:00:55.600 That's pound 250.

00:00:57.080 Keyword chapter.

00:00:57.960 Pound 250.

00:00:59.380 Chapter.

00:01:00.000 We'll be right back.

00:01:30.000 the fusion of entertainment enlightenment and empowerment this is the glenn beck program

00:01:50.920 i guess i'm going all socialist today because i'm going to blow off all of our commercials

00:01:56.180 uh except i'm going to be paying for it so it's not well i guess that is how socialism works

00:02:01.060 um but uh we're gonna we have to blow off our commercials here because we have president

00:02:07.100 donald j trump joining us in just a couple of seconds these are terrifying times right now

00:02:11.740 they're calls for sharia law all across the western world it feels like there's a foreign

00:02:16.960 occupation that is happening in parts of america war with iran prices are still biting at the

00:02:22.000 checkout line. Marxists are exploiting this crisis in every way possible. It's easy to forget where

00:02:29.440 we were just two years ago. So before we get to the president, let me just recap what has happened

00:02:34.760 this week. Monday, Supreme Court cleared the way for the president's mail-in ballot order to take

00:02:40.560 effect before the midterm six to three. Homeland Security can build a federal citizenship list

00:02:45.860 and send it to the states while the attorney general can prioritize the prosecutions of

00:02:50.420 officials who give ballots uh to uh ineligible voters if 14 days this month in 14 days ice

00:02:57.900 arrested almost 1500 people in virginia and maryland alone including 400 with convictions

00:03:03.520 and pending charges for crimes from sexual battery kidnapping robbery attempted murder

00:03:09.060 rape ms13 members one of the most successful operations ever uh let's see meanwhile we find

00:03:16.520 out ice arrests surged nearly 50 000 in july highest monthly total homeland security also

00:03:21.720 proposed 103 000 fee on cap h1b visa petitions and then the economic news this one's huge

00:03:29.000 philadelphia fed's manufacturing survey showed american factories having the strongest current

00:03:33.380 conditions in more than five years but more striking the manufacturers their expectations

00:03:38.760 for the future surged to the highest level since the beginning of the reagan boom in 1983 with the

00:03:44.640 biggest one jump uh ever recorded in other words american manufacturing isn't surviving it may be

00:03:51.580 on the verge of a major we're going to build things in america again and nobody thought that

00:03:55.620 was possible with the exception of our guest that's all in one week one and the man responsible

00:04:02.900 is president donald j trump mr president welcome last night we found out that it does sound a

00:04:10.540 little as you as you're going over that list i'm i'm getting exhausted i said i know i don't know

00:04:17.700 how you do it i know last night we found out that uh that we found out that uh dolly parton uh passed

00:04:26.080 away and you did something and i i actually wrote this in my diary last night before i heard what

00:04:30.580 you did i said i feel like she's kind of you know like i feel about her the way i felt about

00:04:35.980 queen elizabeth she was just such class and i felt like we should lower our flags and for the first

00:04:41.180 time in history you said we should lower our flags and you declared that our flag should be

00:04:46.940 at half staff that's never been done before why'd you do it for her is that was never done for an

00:04:52.540 entertainer before is that what you mean yeah never we've done we've done this you know lowering but

00:04:58.600 as i understand it i've heard that from a couple of people i'm a little surprised but

00:05:02.920 she was unique i mean she was amazing and to lose her it's like you lose a member of the family you

00:05:09.600 know we we all knew her so well i knew a little bit she wasn't a very political person she really

00:05:15.560 liked me i will tell you but she also wanted to stay very you know she she was of the opinion you

00:05:22.280 know the 50 who needs to lose i don't think it's 50 i think it's probably 20 of the fans okay not

00:05:27.680 50 but she was a great person that she was just a nice person you know i i liked her a lot and i

00:05:34.700 thought it was a natural thing to lower the flags can we um put something to rest here because the

00:05:41.760 speculation is crazy the cia direct cia director ours is in russia rumors are saying putin's are

00:05:49.880 gonna putin is gonna test nato resolve all the way to speculation that is crazy he's gonna strike

00:05:55.260 england all the way to this is maybe the u.s telling them about the iranian sanctions saying

00:06:01.120 we're serious about them can you tell me why our cia director flew in the middle of the night to

00:06:05.880 meet with the russians well none of the above he's there and you know very sort of semi-routine i hate

00:06:12.920 to disappoint people uh we would like to see the war with ukraine end that's a war would have never

00:06:18.420 started blandoval were president that's one of the one that's one of the negatives of not having

00:06:23.760 it done that way i think this way is actually turned out to be bigger in many ways but you

00:06:28.480 wouldn't have had the war with ukraine and you wouldn't have had 25 million people coming into 0.93

00:06:33.440 our country like they did just come in like uh we were a bunch of fools it was so sad but they you 0.99

00:06:39.140 know 20 and i think the number is higher than 25 frankly but they came in from prisons and they 0.99

00:06:44.600 were drug dealers and they were murderers and everything else and they poured into our country 0.93

00:06:48.600 But you would not have had the war in Ukraine. 0.99

00:06:52.680 John Ratcliffe is a fantastic guy.

00:06:55.280 He's the head of the CIA.

00:06:56.840 And he is not in there for any of the things that you said.

00:06:59.880 Now, something may come out of it.

00:07:02.240 We're working very hard to get that war ended.

00:07:05.380 And frankly, they both want to see it ended at this point.

00:07:11.000 The Atlantic, of all places, is reporting.

00:07:14.180 And this is starting to become a commonplace that the Ayatollah is dead.

00:07:19.680 Is the Ayatollah dead?

00:07:21.840 And is there a way to win this war? 0.96

00:07:27.120 I mean, really win this war and have them unconditionally surrender without the people rising up who don't have any guns.

00:07:36.480 So is he dead?

00:07:37.720 And where are we on the war?

00:07:41.700 I don't think he's dead.

00:07:42.880 he was very seriously wounded

00:07:45.620 the left side of his body

00:07:48.320 the arm, the leg, the whole thing

00:07:51.400 he was very seriously wounded

00:07:52.780 but I don't think he's dead

00:07:54.200 and if he is

00:07:56.780 they're putting on a pretty good show

00:07:58.080 because they talk about

00:07:59.340 going back to talk to him all the time

00:08:02.080 to get a final blessing on things

00:08:04.080 but you make a deal with them

00:08:06.020 it's not the most honorable group

00:08:10.180 I will tell you that

00:08:11.720 And, you know, we have the straight open.

00:08:13.240 We took out 22 boats last night.

00:08:15.740 We have people coming in the blockade.

00:08:17.960 Our Navy has been unbelievable.

00:08:19.520 Our military has been unbelievable, the combination.

00:08:22.160 And our financial strength, we built it up so much like you wouldn't believe in a year and a half.

00:08:29.220 Our financial strength is unbelievable.

00:08:31.700 And those things are going toward a very big victory.

00:08:34.660 We had the victory in Venezuela, and we're going to have a big victory here very soon.

00:08:38.860 um can we i mean uh because these people are not it's not like you're negotiating with western

00:08:49.220 minded people these people want chaos and death and everything else can is any but has there been

00:08:55.940 any talk anywhere of anybody i'm not saying us supplying the people with the ability to fire

00:09:02.800 back because you've got to get the 80 of the people to stand up do you foresee them being

00:09:08.560 able to stand up in the future and finish this regime? Right. They say they're so surprised that

00:09:15.180 the people aren't fighting back. But Glenn, if you were in that position and you're a brave guy,

00:09:20.380 I have watched your whole career. I've been a fan of yours for a long time. You're a brave guy,

00:09:24.360 but I don't think you'd be standing out there when they have a machine gun nest. But you know,

00:09:28.560 they have really snipers at the tops of buildings and people go out to protest and they get hit

00:09:35.440 and they don't have to hit many but when you see five or six or ten people go down

00:09:41.100 and you have a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand people they leave no i don't care who

00:09:47.960 you are they leave yeah and it's very hard to protest when you have people that are willing

00:09:52.220 to shoot you and kill you and that's why they're not protesting and there is a chance because

00:09:58.320 they have become very much weakened you know their navy is as you know totally gone their 0.99

00:10:03.820 Air Force is totally gone. They're not, their soldiers, many of their soldiers aren't being

00:10:08.820 paid. They have 300, I think 300, I heard 90%. I heard, I think it's 300% inflation. Their

00:10:17.860 monetary, their money is almost valueless. Now, I mean, they're not doing very well. And, you know,

00:10:25.340 I would have to, and I could have told you the same thing, not as strongly, but two months ago,

00:10:30.540 three months ago, and I'd have to read the New York Times saying how well they're doing.

00:10:35.240 They're not actually saying that anymore, which is hard to believe. I'm surprised they don't

00:10:39.040 continue to say it. But, you know, there was so much fake news for that. Because right from the

00:10:43.840 beginning, from the B-2 bombers a little more than a year ago, where we knocked out the nuclear, 0.75

00:10:48.660 to the present, we have really dominated, really, truly dominated.

00:10:54.620 it um we are um we have so many enemies i feel like inside our own gates we have the dsa uh and

00:11:05.720 we have islam the red green alliance something i put up on chalkboard when i was at fox and i said

00:11:10.340 this is going to happen and everybody said that they'll never work together and that's exactly

00:11:13.900 what's happening um would you push for or sign a no sharia law act for america and when it comes to

00:11:25.200 the the the marxists um what advice do you have for the gop to begin to relate to the people who

00:11:32.380 feel like there is an affordability crisis in america especially for the youth and the marxists

00:11:37.940 are playing on that and exploiting all of that yeah what is what advice do you have yeah i would 0.96

00:11:44.360 say two things number one on sharia law i would absolutely say that's not this country there was

00:11:50.040 no sharia law and you do have pockets of it as you know i would say no and you go to london you 0.61

00:11:56.580 go to paris it's almost like a second way of life it's ridiculous and i would absolutely be on your

00:12:03.620 side on that on a lot of other people's side too because you know you are you and i have people

00:12:10.140 that i think we're we're more based on common sense than we are in ideology it's all about 0.94

00:12:16.420 good politics is all about common sense anyway but i would absolutely prohibit the sharia law 0.98

00:12:24.160 thing and it is happening in this country a little bit and when we see it we take it out 0.82

00:12:29.640 and you have to take it out you have one system we have a great system sometimes it's very

00:12:34.340 frustrating but it's uh the best there is that i can see uh as far as the affordability so

00:12:42.880 affordability is interesting because the democrats caused affordability i took over

00:12:49.200 everything was high we had the highest inflation in history they say 48 years so either one

00:12:55.480 But we had the highest inflation in the history of our country.

00:12:58.820 Prices were at the highest.

00:13:00.600 You look at the oil and gas.

00:13:02.120 You look at groceries.

00:13:04.280 You look at eggs.

00:13:05.920 Remember, I took it over.

00:13:06.900 Eggs were five times higher than they were four years before.

00:13:10.960 And we've gotten them down very, very substantially. 0.81

00:13:13.800 And prior to the war, prior to what we're doing with Iran, which I think will be ending fairly soon, 0.81

00:13:21.180 you could really say, you know, because the strait is open.

00:13:24.220 We take a lot of ships through the strait now.

00:13:26.240 We're taking them in.

00:13:27.320 The mines are gone.

00:13:28.540 You probably saw that.

00:13:29.820 We put it out yesterday, all the mines.

00:13:31.660 We got rid of the mines.

00:13:33.160 But the strait, it's functioning.

00:13:34.580 It's a functioning strait.

00:13:37.560 Yes, every once in a while there'll be a drone or a rocket or something shot,

00:13:41.820 but it is a very functioning strait.

00:13:43.840 A lot of oil is pouring out.

00:13:45.700 10 million gallons, 10 million barrels yesterday.

00:13:49.360 But as far as affordability, when I was just prior to saying we have to go down,

00:13:53.880 we have to do this uh i met with my people we just had record stock market and i said you know

00:14:00.540 we're gonna have to do a detour we could not let it's very simple to me we cannot let iran have a

00:14:06.020 nuclear weapon that's what it's all about it's 99.9 percent we cannot let them because they are

00:14:12.300 crazy and they will use it and we cannot let them have a nuclear weapon and we stopped it i stopped 0.98

00:14:18.300 it twice i stopped it then and i stopped it with the jcpoa that's the obama deal that he gave 0.81

00:14:24.600 everything one of the worst deals one of the most dangerous deals ever said he gave them a road a

00:14:30.000 path to a nuclear weapon that was a path that wasn't a a stoppage that was a path to a nuclear

00:14:36.660 weapon and i terminated that as you know it was a big deal when i did it and they tried to say like

00:14:42.860 it was it was a disaster they would have had a nuclear weapon five years ago if i didn't i did

00:14:47.660 terminated it in my first in my first term. And so I saved it then. They would have had a nuclear

00:14:54.180 weapon. They would have used it. Israel would have been totally knocked out. They would have

00:14:58.640 knocked out. There would be I will say this. If Donald Trump wasn't president, there would be no

00:15:03.620 Israel right now. There would be. And that's that's a guarantee. There would not be an Israel 0.99

00:15:08.840 because they would have had nuclear weapons and they would have used them immediately. But as far 0.99

00:15:14.140 is pricing the prices are coming down you know they came up with that word affordability so i

00:15:20.040 inherit the worst inflation in history and i have my first news conference the day after i win

00:15:25.920 and the press is screaming at me about prices and they especially going what about eggs what

00:15:33.040 about this what i said i'm only here for one day give me a chance i didn't even know they're

00:15:39.220 talking about eggs. They're screaming at me about eggs. They said, I just, you know, I just won

00:15:44.380 yesterday. I mean, the whole thing was just absolutely crazy. Actually, it was the first day

00:15:49.600 in, it was on January 21st. I'm having a news conference. I'm there for one day and they're

00:15:55.900 screaming about prices. I inherited a mess in so many ways, the border, which I solved very quickly.

00:16:03.380 I inherited so many different problems that this was a bad administration this was an incompetent

00:16:10.920 administration but I inherited uh high prices and then from the first day they started using

00:16:17.800 the word affordability they looked at me affordability it was a new word nobody ever

00:16:23.060 heard the word it was a new word that they devised because they're quite good at that they're not good

00:16:27.480 at running a country but they're good at i guess good at politics i don't know they have some

00:16:33.420 awfully bad policy for people like men and women sports etc but i inherited affordability i inherited

00:16:40.180 high prices i'll put it a different way and we've really gotten them down now we have a little bit

00:16:46.380 of an oil don't forget when we when i did this people thought the oil would go to ten dollars a 0.94

00:16:52.440 gallon you know that and they said but we had to do it we had to stop them from having a nuclear

00:16:57.040 weapon and we did and the prices are coming down very rapidly and now beef is starting to come

00:17:02.460 down that you know the meats the beef is starting to come down but prices have come down very

00:17:07.540 very very um very i have to tell i have to tell you mr president i didn't plan on talking about

00:17:13.980 this and we can get into it a later date but please please when it comes to beef please look

00:17:19.820 at the cartel that is the meat processing cartel i mean that is i i i run a ranch so i know what

00:17:29.420 it's like and i'm telling you it is the processing plants there's four of them and i think two of

00:17:34.440 them are not even american it's bad and they're i believe they're colluding the ranch and the

00:17:40.580 farmers haven't done it because they're smart as hell i'm surprised because that's been going

00:17:45.380 on a long time, Glenn, long before I got here. Help us. Help us. It's so, we can't, we can't

00:17:52.300 butcher with all of the federal regulations. It is really hard. You know, if there's something

00:17:58.040 you can do to help. Glenn, is that just a question of regulation? Do you think? A lot of it is.

00:18:04.260 Yeah, a lot of it is. The inspections are insane. So they make the regulations so tough that,

00:18:12.080 so could you do it if you didn't have those regulations could you do it on your ranch

00:18:17.560 yes and is that the way to do it or do you think yes you need some pretty strong regulations break

00:18:25.240 the back break the back of those processing plants though there's people that want to build

00:18:30.780 processing plants everywhere the regulations are killing us just killing us you're saying with

00:18:36.280 with less regulation you think that the ranchers and farmers would do a very good job of processing

00:18:43.600 the beef yes wow yes i know that today i know i've been hearing about this problem for 20 years

00:18:52.360 i've been hearing about this problem free your people let our people go let your people go

00:18:57.780 this could be a very good call for ranchers and farmers no for the country that would be good

00:19:02.500 No, I've been hearing only bad about it's four places and it's a monopoly.

00:19:08.940 It is.

00:19:09.620 And who's controlling those regulations?

00:19:13.280 Department of Agriculture?

00:19:15.560 Yes, and FDA.

00:19:18.000 And the FDA.

00:19:19.280 Or is it USDA?

00:19:21.420 I can't remember which one, but it's the federal regulation.

00:19:24.420 It's all the inspections.

00:19:25.980 It's all the inspections.

00:19:27.520 Mr. President, I've got to get to one more question.

00:19:29.740 Canada.

00:19:30.140 This is a very big thing you just told me, though.

00:19:32.500 because you just gave me a very good idea okay good good very good i love the call

00:19:37.980 i love this call can you can you tell me quickly about canada there i mean it seems to me they had

00:19:44.700 a really good deal um but this is all about the elections and throwing our elections what is

00:19:50.400 happening is there a way to end this look i don't know how you feel about canada they are one of the

00:19:57.400 worst countries in the world to deal with there and this has gone on for many years wait wait

00:20:02.640 can we say this i love canadians and canada i do not like their administration okay well the

00:20:09.960 administrator and the previous administration too is terrible yes yes yes yes yes but they have

00:20:15.040 taken advantage of the united states for many decades actually they charge tariffs that are

00:20:21.140 unbelievable like on milk 400 percent and unlike and i just said we're taking them on and i took

00:20:29.680 them on at the beginning but we had so many other things to do because the country is a mess

00:20:34.600 but i said we're going to take them on we're going to stop it and you saw the lake ontario

00:20:41.300 thank you you know people thought i was kidding maybe i wasn't because the last one you saw was

00:20:46.600 The Gulf of Mexico is the Gulf of America.

00:20:48.860 I know, I know, I know.

00:20:49.800 But now we have a Gulf and we have a lake, okay?

00:20:52.280 You know, it's very simple.

00:20:53.640 But, look, I don't want to go into great detail because it may be boring to people,

00:20:57.960 but to me it's simpler.

00:20:59.300 They charge tariffs.

00:21:00.960 They take advantage of us as though they were a state, and they're not a state.

00:21:06.360 And they've taken our car industry, and they've taken our agriculture industry.

00:21:10.880 You know, the farmers can't sell anything in there because the tariffs are so enormous.

00:21:15.560 and yet they want to sell in us without any touch so i had a deal that was a pretty good deal

00:21:22.080 you know quite good because they're afraid that i won't do any business in other words we won't

00:21:27.280 trade they don't have anything that we have to have okay we can get by i mean there are a couple

00:21:32.680 of things that would make it a little inconvenient but we could get them elsewhere uh and it's time

00:21:38.440 to teach canada you can't do this anymore we lose 60 billion dollars and and really more than that

00:21:44.480 $60 billion a year with Canada.

00:21:47.020 Mr. President, I can't believe I have to say this to you.

00:21:50.540 I have a network break.

00:21:51.700 You could hold on, but I know you're busy.

00:23:41.500 All right.

00:23:58.540 So what did we learn from that, you know, 28 minutes with the president there?

00:24:04.800 You have no idea what it is like to do an interview with President Trump over the phone.

00:24:10.420 because you got to send him signals or he'll just go

00:24:14.780 and it'll become one of his stump speeches.

00:24:19.060 He's like me.

00:24:20.080 He's so comfortable just talking by himself

00:24:22.420 that it just is incredible.

00:24:26.280 So let's go through.

00:24:28.580 First of all, we found out Dolly Parton liked him

00:24:30.800 and she probably really did.

00:24:33.500 I had always heard she was a fan of mine,

00:24:36.680 but she would never do an interview with me or anything

00:24:39.240 because she didn't want to get involved in politics. 1.00

00:24:41.320 And I adored Dolly Parton, and so did the president.

00:24:44.880 It struck me as he didn't know that this was as big of a deal as it was.

00:24:49.900 No singer or entertainer has ever had the flag lowered in the United States.

00:24:57.300 And apparently, I got the impression.

00:24:59.780 Do you get that impression, Ricky, that he didn't know that that was a first?

00:25:03.320 Absolutely.

00:25:04.140 And you know what's striking about that is he thought it was common sense.

00:25:08.180 he just like it was so instinctual to him to make a historic move without realizing it was historic

00:25:14.020 yeah um i mean that's the thing about him if you don't understand that people just don't

00:25:20.080 understand he just shoots from the hip he does i mean he's well thought out but that was one of my

00:25:26.060 first thoughts i have to go lower my flag today um my first thought uh before i went to bed i heard

00:25:31.900 about um dolly and i thought i just adore her and she's such a national treasure we should lower the

00:25:39.920 flag and i thought no i shouldn't lower the flag so i went to bed and then i heard that he said

00:25:44.440 lower the flags i mean that that's a big deal big deal um jason what did you think about his answer

00:25:50.860 with you know uh our cia director flying in the middle of the night going over to russia he said

00:25:58.160 it was it was not about iran and it wasn't about you know nato them testing nato he he seemed to

00:26:07.600 indicate that it was about we're trying to end the ukrainian war what did you think about his

00:26:12.720 answer on that yeah it was both an answer and uh not disclosing too much which i can completely

00:26:19.420 understand um i guess the biggest the biggest one is he said none of the above and the above

00:26:25.720 was a lot of wild speculation.

00:26:28.780 I mean, if you were on social media last night,

00:26:32.380 it sounded like World War III was about to happen.

00:26:34.960 It was going that far.

00:26:36.040 Well, this doesn't happen.

00:26:37.700 I mean, he said it's more,

00:26:40.140 what did he say?

00:26:40.920 More run of the mill or something like that

00:26:42.900 than everybody is thinking.

00:26:44.840 But this doesn't happen.

00:26:46.700 We don't usually send him in a plane overnight,

00:26:49.840 you know, in a military plane overnight

00:26:52.500 to meet with somebody in Russia.

00:26:54.300 The last time that happened was the beginning of the Ukrainian war.

00:26:58.700 But he seemed to downplay that.

00:27:02.220 I will tell you this.

00:27:03.080 He said both sides want an end to this.

00:27:05.220 I will tell you this.

00:27:06.100 I have heard from multiple credible sources that that is true.

00:27:10.940 They both are like, okay, enough.

00:27:13.500 We've had enough.

00:27:14.480 But they need the president to play the role to offer and tell, no, that's all you get on both sides.

00:27:22.280 That's all you get.

00:27:23.460 Sit down.

00:27:24.300 Um, but I think there is a chance of ending that. Um, it was a little shocking that he said the

00:27:29.620 Ayatollah is alive. Yeah. I, yeah. Uh, especially with all the other reports coming out now,

00:27:36.360 I think you, you mentioned that Atlantic article that, that seemed to have some pretty good on

00:27:40.500 the ground sources that multiple people just don't really know what the status is. I, after

00:27:45.040 hearing the president's response and hearing the other end from, you know, the Atlantic other,

00:27:49.420 other analysts i i'm almost leaning towards he's in such a bad and such a bad condition

00:27:54.620 that he's not making decisions but he's just barely hanging on uh somewhere in the middle

00:27:59.660 there is probably what it is if that's the case then you want you got to wonder who is really

00:28:04.640 running iran and i it's it's probably their their their security council which is doing it which is

00:28:10.500 a mix of politicians and irgc heads and right now there's a power struggle between the two of them

00:28:16.840 and that's pretty much exactly what you predicted

00:28:18.860 months ago, really.

00:28:21.580 Donald Trump would not be the guy

00:28:23.140 to not take a victory lap on his death.

00:28:25.980 I mean, that to me said a lot, that he is alive

00:28:28.920 because that's the kind of stuff that if he could, 0.98

00:28:31.800 he'd go, yeah, and we killed him. 0.98

00:28:34.520 Yeah.

00:28:35.280 Ricky?

00:28:36.420 Yeah, I also thought he said a lot

00:28:38.000 by not really answering your question

00:28:39.620 about whether a country might be providing arms

00:28:42.580 to the citizens.

00:28:43.860 He knows that that's needed,

00:28:45.300 but the fact that he sort of danced around that tells me there may be some

00:28:49.200 movement happening in that direction.

00:28:51.080 Yeah. You know,

00:28:51.840 I learned this from George W Bush interviewing him and then being yelled at

00:28:55.360 him privately about some things.

00:28:58.320 You can learn a lot when a question is asked.

00:29:05.060 You can, you can learn a lot by what's not said, not,

00:29:09.380 not like they're just changing the subject and going someplace else,

00:29:12.340 but he answered that question.

00:29:14.740 So he took it on, but he danced around that one part of it.

00:29:20.380 He left that out, and I think there's a lot to learn on that.

00:29:27.440 He didn't get into the DSA much, but he did.

00:29:32.940 I mean, I thought that was pretty remarkable about no Sharia law that he would sign that.

00:29:39.120 I think that's just something somebody needs to propose that to him.

00:29:41.700 It's already proposed last September.

00:29:44.740 uh uh senator senator tuberville and randy fine introduced a no sharia act last september so

00:29:51.440 it's stuck in a judiciary committee i believe congress is yeah congress is never gonna do

00:29:56.540 they should just somebody should just approach him and say uh do this um the uh the affordability

00:30:03.140 thing it's the answer i expected to get i i was kind of i was hoping for more there because

00:30:09.540 he has a strong case to make um but uh i haven't heard him or anybody else in the administration

00:30:17.540 make it yet and i i wish he would have i was a little i gave him the opportunity no no we like

00:30:25.740 the canadian people the he is pissed at uh carney and at well you know what's his face trudeau

00:30:32.960 before um and and he's right about that i have had multiple leaders um from america and around

00:30:42.920 the world say canada is dead canada is over um as we know it um and that's what he's indicating

00:30:52.060 and i think oh my god is he gonna really name lake ontario lake of america is he i mean please yes

00:31:00.000 do it do it send all those Canadians back to therapy oh my gosh oh my gosh oh um what was

00:31:12.040 the other thing oh the meat thing I by the way ranchers I am sorry I did not plan that I hope 0.90

00:31:17.240 I had that right I mean that's just my personal opinion get rid of the regulations let us slaughter

00:31:22.680 our own beef in our own hometowns and our own you know or even our if you're big enough ranch

00:31:27.480 let us be able to do this uh what do you say we actually have a couple of callers who are ranchers

00:31:33.540 who who do want to talk to you about that later that are on the line okay let me take one uh which

00:31:38.900 one i don't see uh tom in pennsylvania tom go ahead hi um well i'm not a rancher let's hear

00:31:49.120 that right now okay but i think you did i think you did an excellent job with that you may get

00:31:54.800 to some of my points there,

00:31:56.600 because it takes

00:31:58.820 big government to handle

00:32:00.900 big business and small government

00:32:02.640 to handle small business. 0.98

00:32:04.360 Because if your ranchers and farmers

00:32:06.380 are dealing with local populations,

00:32:09.840 the market will tell you

00:32:11.460 if they're doing a good job or not.

00:32:15.040 Yes.

00:32:15.340 Yes.

00:32:18.540 It's going to be interesting

00:32:21.720 to watch what happens

00:32:22.760 uh on that particular case tom thanks for your call devon minnesota go ahead

00:32:28.240 hey hey y'all thanks for taking my call i listened to the interview you just had with uh

00:32:34.600 the president and i'll tell you what that was spot on i mean uh you both had your teeth

00:32:39.080 squirmly sunk into the issues there it was it was really fun listening to the president talk about

00:32:44.560 and talk to you about the uh the issue with the beef and the usda and changes in regulation as

00:32:50.300 As soon as you say regulation, you can just see the guy's ears picked up

00:32:53.020 and say, okay, here's something I can do.

00:32:55.500 Did you notice?

00:32:56.640 Wait, wait, wait.

00:32:57.500 Saying that, did anybody else notice while he was talking to me,

00:33:01.580 he was not talking to me, he was talking to the room?

00:33:05.100 Did you notice that?

00:33:05.980 He was in the Oval.

00:33:07.240 Yeah.

00:33:07.540 And at one point, he was like, maybe we should just get rid of all of the

00:33:11.680 regulations.

00:33:11.980 I mean, he was talking to the room.

00:33:13.500 He wasn't talking to you or me.

00:33:15.220 It was interesting.

00:33:16.500 Great point.

00:33:17.740 Great point.

00:33:18.420 Yeah.

00:33:18.540 When he starts thinking about something, you hear those gears turning, and it's not like a little fine Swiss watch gear turning, right?

00:33:26.180 It's more like a locomotive, like a freight train.

00:33:29.120 Those wheels turn, you know what I mean?

00:33:30.540 The guy's a force of nature.

00:33:33.220 It is.

00:33:34.580 It is.

00:33:35.640 Thank you so much.

00:33:36.960 I appreciate it.

00:33:37.900 888-727-VECK.

00:33:39.380 Love to hear what you thought on what the president said.

00:33:43.300 Was there anything else that we didn't cover here on all the things we talked about?

00:33:47.440 Was there any other observation from either Jason or Ricky?

00:33:51.240 Yeah, I thought it was interesting that he doubled down on the justification for going into Iran on the nuclear weapon.

00:33:57.100 Because I personally think, and other reporting has suggested, that it's not just about preventing nuclear war.

00:34:03.820 It's about how it's personal, because of how many times Iran has tried to threaten the lives of him, his wife, his daughter, and more recently, Barron. 0.73

00:34:13.580 And I really do believe that part of the underlying motivation is the fact that they have tried to kill his family so many times. 0.87

00:34:21.440 I don't think so.

00:34:23.380 You know, because you've been with me, the president doesn't forget things.

00:34:29.880 Okay.

00:34:30.240 You threaten him or something like that.

00:34:32.260 He's got a very long memory.

00:34:34.800 However, my opinion is he hates war so much.

00:34:39.480 If you listen to him, I've talked to him privately about the war in Ukraine and Russia, and he talks about the number of dead in great detail.

00:34:48.960 Beyond the politics and everything, all he talks about is the families that no longer have a son on both sides, how many.

00:34:57.240 He talks about the numbers.

00:34:59.200 He gets – that bothers him a great deal, the death in war, and it's personal to him.

00:35:09.120 And for him to start a war, I just don't believe he would do that.

00:35:15.560 I mean, is it part of the, yeah, this kind of feels good.

00:35:19.920 Yes.

00:35:20.320 Was it part of the decision?

00:35:21.680 I don't believe that.

00:35:23.480 And I could be wrong, but I wanted to ask him about Baron because now they're targeting Baron.

00:35:28.800 Do you see this?

00:35:29.400 They're giving where he is and how you can kill him online. 0.97

00:35:33.500 I mean, oh, my gosh. 0.98

00:35:37.240 Oof. 0.99

00:35:37.640 what would america do if they killed one of his family members 0.91

00:35:42.000 what would we do and it's kind of like a jury should the president if somebody kills

00:35:49.440 his family should the president be the one making the decision on the response

00:35:54.440 jason would there be boots on the ground oh 100 there would be boots on the ground

00:36:00.340 100 percent yeah targeting and being successful in president the presidential the first family

00:36:08.000 uh i i know that there's some wild you know division here and a lot of people on the left

00:36:13.860 just want to see donald trump fail but that is way beyond and uh that if if iran did something

00:36:21.540 like that they've got to be expecting that's why i just can't imagine that they would actually try

00:36:25.900 to pull something like that off but if they did what would you that's the end what would you what

00:36:31.280 would you think of i mean i would only want the president making the decisions but i would also

00:36:37.680 there's i mean we've never faced this before you know you don't give the sentencing uh part of a

00:36:44.900 of a trial um to the family we do that we we ask the family for their opinion but we know that

00:36:53.260 vengeance would play such a huge role he somebody kills his son iran kills his son his wife his

00:37:00.440 daughters um i have to tell you i i would hope that his counsel around him would be mr president

00:37:08.040 please take a breath take a breath take a breath take a breath i mean you'd have to have some

00:37:14.240 moderation because as a dad i'd say flatten them i would be i as a dad i'm not talking about him

00:37:22.680 I'm talking about him as a dad and me as a dad.

00:37:25.620 I would be, I think, uncontrollable in my first reaction.

00:37:32.740 Yeah.

00:37:33.400 We might even get the Canadian Air Force to help us out on that one.

00:37:38.660 Yeah.

00:37:39.560 Oh, good.

00:37:40.460 Thanks.

00:37:41.040 You crop dusters?

00:37:41.580 I mean, is there any mechanism, do you know?

00:37:45.040 Is there any mechanism that you know of, Jason,

00:37:47.980 that would be a moderating uh you know a governor on a president if that would happen we've never

00:37:56.140 faced that before um yeah i well my first reaction would be i don't want a moderating governor on a

00:38:02.500 president if something like that happened um i i do think they would be moderated in there as far

00:38:07.700 as how far they would go like we're not gonna you know go towards the links of like tactical

00:38:12.740 nuclear weapons or something like that we're not going to do that but what i do think that if you

00:38:17.140 want to agree if you want to guarantee well it's not a guarantee i don't say that but if you want

00:38:20.920 to make it more likely that we can get a unanimous declaration of war within congress that's the way

00:38:26.220 it could happen so yeah and and to see it through until it's over so i can't imagine iran would go

00:38:33.120 to those links because they would be signing their own death warrant if that was the case

00:38:37.340 and that's and that's what part of them wants the really scary ones they that's what they want

00:38:43.060 They want a declaration of war.

00:38:45.220 That's what they really want.

00:38:46.540 All right.

00:38:46.940 Thank you so much.

00:38:49.440 I'm going to talk a little bit about Dolly Parton and why that matters so much to Americans.

00:38:53.300 Coming up in a second, also just some really good perspective on the news.

00:38:57.960 First, let me tell you about Mercury 1.

00:38:59.520 Every disaster eventually ends.

00:39:01.820 The fire finally goes out.

00:39:03.400 The floodwaters do recede.

00:39:05.340 The hurricane moves on.

00:39:07.540 And so do the cameras.

00:39:08.600 They pack up.

00:39:09.240 The reporters leave.

00:39:10.100 And the rest of the country moves on to whatever happens next.

00:39:12.440 But for people who actually live there, that's not ending.

00:39:16.200 That's where the long part begins.

00:39:18.800 Mercury One is there before the cameras arrive.

00:39:22.160 We avoid the cameras because we're there just to help.

00:39:25.040 But we also don't forget about those communities when the media part of the story ends.

00:39:31.280 That's what I wanted Mercury One to be when I started it.

00:39:34.100 When something terrible happens, we show up.

00:39:36.400 And then we keep showing up.

00:39:37.920 And we help the people help themselves.

00:39:40.260 because recovery doesn't operate on a news cycle.

00:39:43.780 This year, Mercury One's 15th anniversary,

00:39:46.900 and I would love for your help

00:39:48.640 to continue doing what we have been doing

00:39:51.080 for the last 15 years and beyond.

00:39:53.880 That's why we've created a way for you to help $15 a month,

00:39:57.440 help Mercury One be there long after everybody else has gone home.

00:40:38.640 I have to tell you, I am overwhelmed by the emails and texts and everything else in the phones that we're getting from ranchers.

00:40:49.060 I just wrote to the president and I said, based on the audience's response, you've got to pursue this with the ranchers and free us up from these regulations so we can process our own meat.

00:41:00.640 I think that would change everything.

00:41:03.520 We'll talk more about that.

00:41:04.320 I want to hear from ranchers.

00:41:05.580 If you were listening to this, anybody who is in farming, dairy, ranching, 888-727-BECK.

00:41:13.160 More in a minute.

00:41:21.920 You know, there's a problem with the way most of us think about health.

00:41:29.580 We assume that if something is wrong, we'll know it or our doctor will catch it at the annual physical.

00:41:33.780 but that's really not how it works.

00:41:35.780 Most health problems build slowly.

00:41:37.700 You're a little more tired than you used to be.

00:41:39.240 Your sleep isn't quite as good these days.

00:41:41.340 Maybe you feel a little foggy, a little off,

00:41:43.460 and every year you're told,

00:41:44.580 good news, your blood work looks fine,

00:41:46.460 until one day it doesn't.

00:41:48.280 And by that point, you're not preventing a problem,

00:41:50.600 you're managing one.

00:41:51.960 That's why I like what Jevity does.

00:41:54.040 They look deeper at over 100 different labs,

00:41:56.480 including hormones, inflation, metabolic health,

00:41:59.560 nutrient levels, the kinds of things

00:42:01.440 that actually help you understand what's happening

00:42:03.700 in your body years before a diagnosis.

00:42:06.520 A technician comes to your home,

00:42:07.840 they draw your blood,

00:42:08.720 and then a real care team

00:42:10.100 walks you through the results

00:42:11.180 so you actually understand

00:42:12.460 what those numbers mean.

00:43:14.740 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:18.640 Glenn Beck is on.

00:43:21.980 Hello, America.

00:43:23.440 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:25.400 If you just joined us, we had a remarkable interview with the President of the United States.

00:43:30.960 um we started talking just not even planned as a question beef somehow or another and prices

00:43:37.940 came up and i said you know mr president free your people stop with the usda stuff let people

00:43:45.720 process their own beef you know and sell their own locally processed beef and he's like he never

00:43:52.560 heard that before he's like really would that would that make a difference i'm like huge difference i

00:43:56.980 would love to hear you uh your comments especially if you're a rancher because i'm just speaking

00:44:02.800 i wasn't planning on talking to him about that it just kind of came out and i hope i got it right

00:44:07.800 um but i think that would help us a lot as ranchers and your meat prices would be

00:44:15.800 phenomenal if we could do that um but let's just see um so we'll take your phone calls here in a 0.85

00:44:22.560 minute and i also want to talk to you a little bit about dolly parton dolly parton passed yesterday

00:44:26.800 I asked the president, you know, why did you say that we should lower the flags?

00:44:33.140 And I'm sure that he knew that that had never been done before, never been done before for an entertainer.

00:44:39.940 And I think it was the right call.

00:44:41.920 She was a huge loss.

00:44:43.080 And I want to talk about that here for just a second.

00:44:45.420 888-727-BECK.

00:44:47.080 We begin in 60 seconds.

00:44:48.200 First, let me tell you about my Patriot Supply.

00:44:50.680 The best time to buy emergency food is when buying emergency food feels a little ridiculous.

00:44:54.560 The lights are on.

00:44:55.560 The grocery store is full.

00:44:57.320 Amazon will have something on your porch tomorrow morning.

00:44:59.500 Everything works, right?

00:45:00.760 That's exactly when you prepare

00:45:02.380 because once everybody in town decides

00:45:04.700 they suddenly need food, water, and emergency supplies

00:45:07.700 at the same time, you're not preparing anymore.

00:45:10.520 You're competing.

00:45:11.820 And I don't want you to compete for the last case of anything

00:45:14.340 in your grocery store with 300 other people.

00:45:17.500 My Patriot Supply lets you take care of this right now

00:45:19.880 while nothing is wrong.

00:45:20.960 Their emergency food kits come in four-week

00:45:45.960 Easy to store, easy to use, simple to prepare.

00:45:48.900 Don't put it off.

00:45:50.020 Right now, go to preparewithglenn.com.

00:45:52.320 Again, that's preparewithglenn.com.

00:45:55.480 So, yesterday I find out Dolly Parton died.

00:46:06.020 My wife kind of had the same look on her face, not exactly,

00:46:10.880 but the same look on her face of sadness when Charlie Kirk died.

00:46:17.180 I know that face.

00:46:19.020 And she came in, and she was looking at her phone.

00:46:20.840 She came in, and I could tell something big had happened.

00:46:23.860 And she said, Dolly Parton just passed away. Now, she's 80 years old. It's not a surprise,

00:46:32.400 but it's sad because she was amazing. She was truly amazing. Here's what her family

00:46:39.240 said. They just released this. As her head of security for more than two decades,

00:46:45.080 a role my father Larry held before me, I have imagined the heaviness of this moment,

00:46:49.160 but haven't truly felt it until now. It is an honor, an honor that is mixed with absolute pride

00:46:55.020 and great sadness. But sadness lies with us, not with Dolly. Dolly has lived in the light and is

00:47:01.780 in the arms of Jesus, surely met by Carl, her parents, and countless others who have watched

00:47:06.780 her and longed for her to meet them in the heavens. I first went on the road with Dolly as a

00:47:11.780 kid, getting a taste of the road life in the early 1980s. Dolly opened doors not just for me,

00:47:17.600 but for her entire family to reach the potential we didn't even know was possible.

00:47:22.520 Dolly also opened doors for generations of singers, songwriters, musicians, and dreamers

00:47:27.440 from every walk of life and across every continent.

00:47:30.680 By her example, we believed that anything was possible.

00:47:36.640 You know, the flag over the White House is at half-staff now.

00:47:41.920 It stays there until sunset on the 1st of September.

00:47:44.180 every federal building, every embassy, every naval station, everywhere.

00:47:49.440 Dolly Parton would have turned that down.

00:47:51.640 Had anybody asked her, she would have said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. 1.00

00:47:54.860 Because that's who she was. That's what she did.

00:47:57.440 Do you know that the Trump administration offered her the Medal of Freedom,

00:48:00.820 the Presidential Medal of Freedom?

00:48:02.300 It's the highest civilian award to be given. She said no.

00:48:06.720 The Biden administration offered her the same thing.

00:48:09.460 She said no.

00:48:10.960 And she said, you know, if I take it, then I'd be doing politics.

00:48:15.440 And she didn't want to do that.

00:48:16.960 And I so respect her for that.

00:48:20.220 Tennessee moved a bill through committee to put a statue of her on the Capitol grounds in Tennessee. 0.98

00:48:26.340 She said, please, please kill this.

00:48:29.120 Please don't do that. 0.97

00:48:30.620 Quote, given all that's going on in the world, I don't think putting me on a pedestal is appropriate.

00:48:36.540 Who does that? 1.00

00:48:38.380 At her stature. 1.00

00:48:39.240 Who does that? Dolly Parton. 1.00

00:48:44.640 You may remember the Emmys in 2017.

00:48:47.600 Remember the three girls from 9 to 5 came out together to present an award.

00:48:51.120 It was Dolly, it was Lily Tomlin, and I think Jane Fonda.

00:48:54.740 And Fonda and Tomlin used the moment.

00:48:58.200 And they talked about it before, and Dolly said, don't do it, don't do it, please don't do this.

00:49:04.000 Back in 1980, Fonda said, 1.00

00:49:06.560 we refuse to be controlled by a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot. 0.99

00:49:11.700 And in 2017, Tomlin said, we still refuse. 1.00

00:49:15.600 The room roared.

00:49:16.980 Everybody, you know, of course, they're talking to the room.

00:49:19.860 And Dolly stood there in the middle on live television.

00:49:23.560 Now, what would you have done?

00:49:25.380 She asked her friends not to do that.

00:49:29.960 What did she do?

00:49:30.880 she pointed to her chest and she said well i know something about support and the room roared okay

00:49:37.860 took the air out of all of it she didn't correct her friends she didn't lecture her friends she

00:49:42.480 didn't scold them she didn't distance herself she just declined to be a soldier in somebody else's

00:49:48.260 war and she did it with such grace that half the audience never noticed anything it even happened

00:49:53.140 she was asked about it afterward and she said i just don't i don't voice my political opinions

00:49:58.100 I get out there and I entertain.

00:49:59.920 I don't condemn my friends.

00:50:01.640 I don't condemn anybody.

00:50:03.200 I just entertain.

00:50:05.040 That's not cowardice.

00:50:06.520 That's a job.

00:50:12.040 You know, and the man who wrote that job description wrote it 160 years ago.

00:50:17.120 His name was Walter Baggett.

00:50:19.100 He was an English editor.

00:50:21.000 And he wrote a book about how his country actually worked

00:50:24.560 instead of how the textbooks said it did.

00:50:28.020 And he said every stable nation has two halves, the efficient half, the ministers, the parliament,

00:50:34.060 and the people who argue and pass laws and run the place, and the dignified half.

00:50:38.900 That's the part that governs nothing at all, the part that just exists to love and be loved.

00:50:46.080 The efficient half does the work, and I would argue that they're not so efficient.

00:50:50.320 But it can never hold a country together because the half of the country hates who's ever in charge at any given moment.

00:50:56.820 The dignified half is the thing that people who agree on nothing else can still agree on. 0.97

00:51:05.820 That's Dolly Parton's whole life. 0.99

00:51:11.220 You know, in England, they don't bring the queen into combat politics, okay? 1.00

00:51:18.200 She's just then another combatant.

00:51:20.140 And I don't think there was anybody better as a queen than Queen Elizabeth.

00:51:25.480 She was so classy at all times, so classy. 0.99

00:51:30.760 I think the royal family a piece of garbage, quite honestly. 0.99

00:51:34.340 But she was great. 0.99

00:51:35.820 And I felt when Dolly died, she was our Queen Elizabeth, you know?

00:51:41.240 Queen Elizabeth, 70 years on the throne,

00:51:43.820 and not one living soul ever know how she voted or whether she even did. 0.58

00:51:48.700 And it cost her.

00:51:50.220 There were things that she wanted to say that she never said.

00:51:53.260 But that was the deal. 0.98

00:51:55.860 Does America have a dignified half? 0.93

00:51:59.340 No crown, no throne, nothing built into the system to hold the affection of the people who can't stand each other. 0.91

00:52:07.360 We don't have that queen. 1.00

00:52:09.380 That was the role of the queen.

00:52:11.100 I don't think Charles is going to be able to do it, and the royal family can't do it anymore, but she did.

00:52:16.160 But that was something she was born into.

00:52:19.200 Dolly volunteered. 0.99

00:52:22.240 She earned that place.

00:52:25.480 that's what's so remarkable about Dolly Parton.

00:52:35.380 Do you know that she wrote the song I Will Always Love You?

00:52:41.500 She wrote that as a goodbye song to Porter Wagner.

00:52:46.300 And she wrote it in the 70s.

00:52:50.240 And Elvis came to her.

00:52:53.660 And Dolly was young.

00:52:55.060 She was a young songwriter.

00:52:56.420 And Elvis Presley comes to her and says, I love that song.

00:53:00.460 I will always love you.

00:53:02.000 I want to do it.

00:53:03.380 And she was going to stand in the studio and watch him sing her song.

00:53:06.620 Biggest thing that had ever happened to her.

00:53:08.860 And the night before the session, Colonel Tom Parker calls her and says,

00:53:13.640 Elvis doesn't record anything unless he gets half the publishing.

00:53:17.800 And she's 28 years old, okay?

00:53:21.320 And she's like, uh, no.

00:53:25.060 And everybody around her said, you're out of your mind.

00:53:27.540 It's Elvis Presley.

00:53:28.740 What are you doing?

00:53:29.320 She said, no.

00:53:30.560 She said she went home.

00:53:31.660 She cried all night.

00:53:33.360 But she said, something in my heart says don't do it.

00:53:37.100 18 years later, Whitney Houston cuts that song for The Bodyguard.

00:53:41.040 And it becomes one of the best-selling singles in the history of the world.

00:53:46.100 Dolly still owned every word.

00:53:49.380 She said, later she said, she joked and she said,

00:53:52.480 it made me enough money I could buy Graceland.

00:53:56.060 What she actually said about it was this.

00:53:59.980 You have to take care of your business.

00:54:02.960 Everyone's going to use you if they can. 1.00

00:54:08.060 Dolly Parton is underestimated. 1.00

00:54:11.100 A woman for six decades underestimated. 1.00

00:54:14.840 And she let them.

00:54:16.120 She wrote her own songs.

00:54:17.300 She kept her own copyright.

00:54:18.440 She built a theme park in the porous corner of East Tennessee. 1.00

00:54:22.000 Put a whole county to work. 1.00

00:54:23.780 and her whatever phrases she joked that it would be on her tombstone it it costs a lot of money to 1.00

00:54:29.520 look this cheap and everybody laughed at the wig she quiet you know she would wear and she was 0.99

00:54:36.260 quietly behind the scenes assembling one of the biggest business empires in american entertainment 0.99

00:54:41.040 she says i'm a workhorse that looks like a show horse look what she did with it you know her

00:54:48.740 father couldn't read? Robert Lee Parton was his name. He worked farms and construction his entire

00:54:54.600 life. Never learned to read or write. And he was ashamed of it. My grandfather was the same. He

00:54:59.940 couldn't read. He was absolutely ashamed of it. So in 1995, Dolly started mailing free books to

00:55:08.520 every child in her home county. From birth to age five, no income test, rich or poor, a book with

00:55:15.360 your name on it over 300 million books since three million a month all over the world the

00:55:23.540 children called her the book lady she said no honor has meant more to her than that she said

00:55:31.360 if i'm remembered a hundred years from now i hope it'll be not for looks but for books

00:55:35.240 when fire tore through gatlinburg in 2016 her foundation sent every family that lost a home

00:55:43.120 $1,000 a month for six months.

00:55:47.100 No strings.

00:55:48.740 When COVID hit, she gave a million dollars

00:55:50.900 to a friend's lab at Vanderbilt

00:55:52.540 and helped them fund the early research.

00:55:55.480 She never announced it as a cause.

00:55:57.840 She, when asked about it,

00:55:59.140 because she never brought it up,

00:56:00.580 I just wanted to do some good.

00:56:02.920 And my favorite,

00:56:04.080 because this shows how her mind worked,

00:56:06.600 she offered every seventh and eighth grader

00:56:08.640 in her county $500 for graduating high school.

00:56:11.560 But this time there was a string, there was a catch to it.

00:56:17.140 You had to pick a buddy, and you only got paid if your buddy graduated too.

00:56:25.900 They don't make them like Dolly Parton anymore. 1.00

00:56:29.200 That's the whole gospel, according to Dolly Parton. 0.81

00:56:31.800 Nobody gets out alone.

00:56:36.360 Her explanation was always really super simple.

00:56:39.140 I just see a need, and if I can fill it, I will.

00:56:41.560 people i think that don't know who dolly parton was think the rhinestones you know they see the

00:56:48.900 sparkle and that was the whole story it wasn't she was one of 12 children a one-room cabin

00:56:53.860 the doctor who delivered her was paid with a sack of cornmeal there was an abandoned church

00:57:00.000 that was just down the hill windows busted out wrecked piano filthy words scrawled on the walls

00:57:05.380 right next to the bible verses that were still hanging there other kids went there to drink

00:57:10.620 Dolly went to that church, in that condition, to pray.

00:57:16.340 She said, in that ruined little church is where God finally broke through and I found God.

00:57:21.200 Not out of fear, not because a preacher scared me into it, but on my terms.

00:57:27.200 I found God, I had found Dolly Parton, and I loved them both.

00:57:33.060 She built a chapel on her own land later.

00:57:35.980 She stayed married to the same man for 59 years.

00:57:39.900 a man who wanted no part of any of this stuff,

00:57:42.700 guarded their privacy for all 60 years.

00:57:46.640 He died last spring.

00:57:49.360 She recently said she was still talking to him.

00:57:54.580 Find out who you are and do it on purpose.

00:57:58.440 Storms make trees take deeper roots.

00:58:01.240 If you want the rainbow, you have to put up with the rain.

00:58:05.340 She didn't just say those things.

00:58:07.720 She lived every one of them.

00:58:09.840 11 days ago, she was supposed to be at Dollywood in person,

00:58:12.660 opening the biggest ride they've ever built.

00:58:14.560 She couldn't make the trip.

00:58:15.780 She sent a video instead. 0.97

00:58:17.080 In full sparkle, pair of butterfly wings flapping behind her.

00:58:20.800 The butterfly has been her sign since she was a little girl in those mountains.

00:58:24.200 Her Nashville doctor said,

00:58:26.500 Mm-mm, you can't go.

00:58:28.400 She said,

00:58:29.460 My doctor clipped my wings,

00:58:31.380 so I couldn't travel this week.

00:58:32.760 And then she said,

00:58:34.160 My little butterfly wings are getting kind of tired.

00:58:37.420 that was 11 days ago she was still working still turning it into a joke still not asking a soul to 0.60

00:58:44.560 worry about her or feel bad for her anyway she never held an office never commanded anything

00:58:49.420 never cast a vote anybody knew about and she turned down every honor this country tried to

00:58:55.000 hand to her the biggest medal three times and the statue but today our flags come down anyway

00:59:03.880 and it's the one honor she can't decline

00:59:06.200 and she earned it.

00:59:11.280 I think America's a little darker

00:59:12.740 than it was yesterday, just a little bit.

00:59:17.140 But I'm not going to spend my day

00:59:18.500 praying about the loss.

00:59:19.860 I'm going to spend time giving thanks

00:59:22.500 that we had the opportunity

00:59:27.160 to witness that special light,

00:59:30.520 that talent, that kindness

00:59:32.160 that we don't see very often.

00:59:34.280 That little girl born in a cabin,

00:59:36.380 paid for with a bag of cornmeal,

00:59:38.600 became the last thing left in this country

00:59:41.040 that nearly all of us could still agree to love.

00:59:45.080 But her spirit doesn't die because it was never only hers,

00:59:48.020 it's ours.

00:59:49.120 It is quintessentially, stubbornly, gloriously American.

00:59:53.760 And somewhere, in some little town nobody's ever heard of,

00:59:57.360 there's a little girl who nobody's ever heard of

00:59:59.700 who, with God's help, will grow up with that talent, that kindness, that intellect, that grace of Dolly Parton.

01:00:10.840 Maybe all of us should honor Dolly Parton today by just making sure that that little girl has some books to read.

01:01:47.960 Welcome.

01:01:48.980 Welcome to the program.

01:01:50.480 If you missed an incredible interview with the president of the United States about an hour ago, something happened that I'm praying, I'm hoping, let's all pray together, that that turns into something.

01:02:04.780 I, he was talking about, you know, affordability and he said, you know, meat prices.

01:02:10.440 And I said, you know, Mr. President, as a rancher, I wasn't planning on talking about this and we can talk about it later, but please break up the big four meat packing facilities, break them up.

01:02:21.920 And the best way to do it, I think is just cut the regulation.

01:02:24.600 Let us pack our own meat locally.

01:02:27.060 And he was like, wait, would that work?

01:02:29.460 And I'm like, yeah.

01:02:31.480 Now I'm thinking to myself, geez, I shouldn't have said anything because I'm not sure.

01:02:34.780 This is just my opinion.

01:02:36.080 I haven't done homework on this.

01:02:37.220 It's just every rancher I know, and me as a rancher, I know.

01:02:40.700 The problem is the big four meat packing plants.

01:02:43.520 If we could pack our own meat locally, we'd be great and sell it at our own local stores.

01:02:49.460 It'd be great.

01:02:51.920 A light bulb went off, and he's like, you know what?

01:02:53.860 I think that we just might do that.

01:02:55.400 If that's the answer, that's the answer.

01:02:57.640 You could tell he was talking to the people in the room.

01:03:01.200 He was no longer doing the interview with me.

01:03:02.780 He was talking to the people, whoever was standing in the Oval Office with him.

01:03:06.840 So, you know, you should write to the White House, write to the president.

01:03:11.360 Hey, that was a really good idea.

01:03:13.700 You know, get rid of the regulations so we can pack our own meat.

01:03:16.540 Because that would help us out tremendously on so many fronts.

01:03:20.920 I want to hear your phone calls, your take on if you heard that from the president and you heard anything else.

01:03:27.960 I'd love to hear your review of that interview.

01:03:30.600 What did you learn?

01:03:31.400 What did, you know, what did you, what were you glad to hear?

01:03:34.480 What did you miss?

01:03:35.460 You know, he should have said this because he said a lot, a lot.

01:03:41.420 We'll get to your phone calls next.

01:03:42.940 888-727-BECK, 727-BECK.

01:03:47.760 And then I want to give the advice to the president that I think he needs to hear on his answer on affordability.

01:03:57.340 I want to show you why that answer doesn't work.

01:04:00.960 and take it from history coming up in a second.

01:05:54.540 minutes um and it was all live and boy we covered the gamut if you missed any of it this one is

01:06:00.380 worth listening to a lot of news was made in this one i think because we talked about everything

01:06:05.320 um and you can you can hear it it's already up at glenbeck.com slash torch um and it will be

01:06:11.960 out um for everybody soon um but it's really well i mean it's it's really worth listening to

01:06:19.640 uh because i think you're gonna hear it everywhere

01:06:21.660 um let me uh let me go to you on the phones the number is 888-727-BECK let me go to West

01:06:32.400 Virginia and Will hello Will hello Glenn my father was a farm veterinarian for 51 years

01:06:40.800 over my entire lifetime I have watched the complete destruction of the agriculture industry

01:06:47.360 everywhere, from what chemicals you can use

01:06:51.480 to where you take your cows to, you name it,

01:06:55.520 complete destruction.

01:06:57.580 West Virginia passed a law that people might like.

01:07:00.300 It's called the farm-to-table law.

01:07:02.960 They bypassed the USDA.

01:07:05.980 They have to meet West Virginia standards,

01:07:09.180 but we've got a lot of farm-to-table stores here now

01:07:12.080 and completely bypassed that whole ag industry.

01:07:21.340 Yeah.

01:07:24.420 My friend I knew from college had the largest high-production farm in West Virginia, 640 acres.

01:07:33.200 And he started doing farm-to-table because he got tired of, oh, you need this child.

01:07:40.440 Well, that's this child I have here.

01:07:41.920 No, no, you need an art shot. 0.99

01:07:44.640 I mean, just crazy crap. 1.00

01:07:46.860 Make your eyes bleed crap. 0.99

01:07:48.940 Will, I have to tell you, I have to tell you, 0.99

01:07:52.020 I just got back from two weeks overseas,

01:07:55.380 and then every day my whole family said,

01:07:59.620 whenever we would eat something, they said,

01:08:01.140 I haven't tasted, this doesn't even taste like a tomato that we're used to.

01:08:07.740 I'm convinced we're being poisoned.

01:08:09.660 The stuff that we have done in processing to our food, the stuff we put on our crops has been good, but it is also really, really bad.

01:08:20.100 And I have to tell you, we should be more like Europe on some things with what they do to their food because they're not doing to the food what we're doing to the food.

01:08:31.300 And it's bad for us.

01:08:34.840 And anything that we can do to give relief to our ranchers and our farmers on regulation, which is what the president and I spoke about today, and hopefully he will act on it.

01:08:46.800 Hopefully he's not going to have some bean counter.

01:08:49.780 No, that won't, that won't, because it will.

01:08:52.300 It will change everything.

01:08:54.320 Because I think people are tired of this all processed food, not knowing where it's coming from.

01:09:00.560 I know if my ranch, if I could slaughter the beef and have standards, obviously, but slaughter the beef, cut the beef, and sell it in the local grocery store, we'd save a ton of money on meat.

01:09:17.420 People buying their groceries, you'd save a ton of money.

01:09:20.900 Right now, I think we sell my cattle, I think, in Denver.

01:09:26.000 And then they're finished off with grains someplace else, I think.

01:09:31.360 And then they're slaughtered.

01:09:32.280 I mean, I don't even know where they go.

01:09:34.840 It's insane. 1.00

01:09:35.920 It's stupid. 1.00

01:09:36.900 It's just stupid. 1.00

01:09:38.860 And it's these big processing plants, man. 1.00

01:09:42.120 That's the problem.

01:09:43.200 You got to break the back of them.

01:09:44.540 And the way to do it is just by freeing the people to do what they know is right.

01:09:49.380 Leave us alone.

01:09:50.040 let us do what we know is right uh let me go to uh pam in kentucky hello pam

01:09:56.860 hi good morning or i wasn't supposed to say good morning i'm sorry hello pam from kentucky that's

01:10:03.780 okay hi thank you just wanted to um say a couple of things um the president's talk about affordability

01:10:11.920 i'm closer in age to him than a lot of folks are i'm not old old but in my mid-60s and the notion

01:10:18.800 that the president or an administration is going to hand me affordability is I can't I can't get my

01:10:25.100 head around that so I think about what he was saying to you and I it brought forward singing

01:10:30.720 about what Richard Petty used to say you put yourself in a position to win and the wins will

01:10:35.520 come and I think that's what he's doing for America and I feel like that's what he should do

01:10:40.880 so there's no happy clappy magic waving of anyone that suddenly says your life's now affordable

01:10:47.020 so that's one thing the other thing is every in regards to the beef deregulation don't tell the

01:10:54.220 president this but thomas massey i live in his district in the fourth district he has had

01:10:59.100 legislation filed for years to do exactly what you guys are talking about so don't tell him

01:11:05.240 because he might change no don't keep keep that between yours

01:11:08.160 i'd take all the good mornings in you leave that other part out um thank you so much uh pam i i uh

01:11:18.580 i appreciate it and you know i think your opinion on affordability kind of goes to your age in some

01:11:25.120 way it's um you know we we grew up in a time where the president we don't want the i don't

01:11:30.780 want the president to have control over prices of things he shouldn't have that ability to do

01:11:38.040 those things however um it's not reality in today's political world it's just not um you can't

01:11:49.700 and i'm gonna i've got a great story to tell you at the top of next hour so give me 20 minutes but

01:11:56.420 i'm gonna tell you this story of something that i i learned when i was over believe it or not in

01:12:00.680 France, I learned a lesson from history that the president needs to hear. And we all need to hear

01:12:09.500 because it answers both sides. It shows you that big thinking is so important because it sets you

01:12:20.060 up for the win, exactly what you said. But if you only do the big thinking, you're going to lose.

01:12:26.520 The country might win down the road, but you will lose, and we can't afford to lose because these people will stop the big thinking that the president is doing.

01:12:38.240 Let me go to – is it Fonzie in Wyoming?

01:12:43.580 Fonzie?

01:12:44.540 Really?

01:12:45.360 Yes, sir.

01:12:46.200 Yes.

01:12:47.040 Hey.

01:12:48.080 How are you?

01:12:49.080 What's happening?

01:12:50.000 Good.

01:12:50.360 Well, I appreciate your interview with the president and especially bringing up the state of affairs with cattle in the United States.

01:13:00.820 And good observation on your part, too, to recognize that he began talking to the room because I think the president is well-intentioned on this by bringing in foreign beef to try to maybe increase what's in the market there to help guide down prices.

01:13:18.920 But you're absolutely right that the Packers are – the big four Packers, three of them are foreign, right?

01:13:25.960 Two of them are Brazilian-owned.

01:13:27.720 One is Smithfield Farms, which is Chinese, and then the other one is American-owned.

01:13:33.420 So those Packers – right, exactly.

01:13:37.540 Those Packers are monopolizing that market.

01:13:41.120 I think we oftentimes forget that they were the big driving force behind doing away with pool, country of origin labeling, when that was a thing because that allowed them to bring in foreign raised beef to it in the United States, put a sticker on it that said a product of the United States, and we know that it's not because it's not raised to the same standard that American beef is.

01:14:08.440 We know that American ranchers – I live and work on a multi-generation family ranch in northeast Wyoming.

01:14:16.540 I've been here for 28 years now, and I see that, you know, there's been a lot of sleepless nights because of, well, this year we're dealing with record drought.

01:14:27.900 Yeah.

01:14:28.340 And farmers, they can put that kind of stuff off when there's big drops in the market.

01:14:35.560 They can put their corn and their beans and other products they raise.

01:14:38.740 They can store that in cycles.

01:14:39.860 You can't do that with cattle.

01:14:41.480 If you're out of grass, you've either got to buy expensive feed and feed them, or you've got to go to the sale barn with them.

01:14:47.560 And those markets are so manipulated.

01:14:50.920 Last week when President Trump made that announcement, the markets took a big crash, and that really forces people's hands.

01:14:58.540 You know, we were finally seeing some really, really good markets that, you know, ranchers were finally starting to see a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel.

01:15:08.300 And then this happens in the cost of production and operation is still so high.

01:15:15.300 So let's just let's just pray that let's just pray that something happens from this conversation, because he seemed very open and excited about that idea.

01:15:27.520 You know, I think he knows, you were exactly right.

01:15:29.380 He has best intentions of opening it up because he's trying to lower the price of meat.

01:15:35.000 So he's opening it up to foreigners.

01:15:36.040 But again, like you said, two of them are owned by Brazil, third one by China, which I didn't know.

01:15:42.340 That's incredible.

01:15:43.640 And the fourth one is American.

01:15:45.440 They process most of our meat in America.

01:15:48.520 And it is a, it's absolutely, I mean, it's mob-like.

01:15:53.900 It is absolutely, and you don't understand until you've tried to sell beef.

01:15:57.860 It's the mob.

01:16:00.540 The four of them are all in collusion, I believe.

01:16:04.020 And it is, it's just, it's not good.

01:16:07.820 And by the way, I think two of those companies were also the big pusher of fake meat.

01:16:14.980 So wait a minute.

01:16:16.180 The people who are in the meat business are also the people in the fake meat business.

01:16:20.400 I don't think that's good, but we'll see.

01:16:23.580 Thanks so much for your phone call.

01:16:25.280 888-727-BECK.

01:16:27.500 I can't wait to share what I learned about something in history.

01:16:32.440 Walking down the street, and of all places, Paris, France,

01:16:37.360 and I'm looking at the architecture,

01:16:40.120 and I'm always fascinated by the architecture,

01:16:43.100 and it was like my second day in France,

01:16:45.900 and I'm looking, and everything looks the same.

01:16:49.380 It all looks like it's the same time period,

01:16:52.120 everything, all over the city. Turns out, and I didn't know this, it was. It was all built in 19

01:16:57.760 years. And it wasn't built that long ago. France is not an old city. We have cities older than

01:17:04.280 France or Paris. And it's not old. It's like, you know, from the 1860s, 1880s. Why? Why did that

01:17:16.060 happen? How did that happen? And when I started learning about that, I'm like, oh my gosh, this

01:17:20.880 is right now with donald trump and the president needs to know this piece of history because it

01:17:28.760 answers all of our questions and his biggest problem we'll give you that here in just a second

01:17:35.100 first let me tell you about our sponsor our sponsor this half hour is relief factor you never think

01:17:44.160 about how many times you bend your knee in a day until your knee hurts and then suddenly you

01:17:47.880 discover that apparently your entire house was designed around bending that knee, stairs,

01:17:52.140 chairs, getting in and out of the car, getting out of the car, getting into the car over and

01:17:55.900 over again, picking something up off the floor. Everything becomes negotiation with one angry

01:18:00.580 joint. That's what pain does. It takes ordinary movements, things you've done 10,000 times without

01:18:06.220 thinking and makes you think about them. That's why I've talked so long for Relief Factor and

01:18:11.720 tried to tell you about Relief Factor because it has changed my life. Relief Factor is a daily

01:18:15.720 supplement that is designed to support your body's natural response to inflammation with

01:18:20.880 natural ingredients that get the job done. Here's a number I always come back to. A million people,

01:18:26.180 over a million people have tried it, and two-thirds of them have gone on to take more

01:18:30.160 every single month. That tells you something. Get the three-week quick start. This is what I like

01:18:34.520 about Relief Factor. They tell you up front, it's not going to work for everybody. Works for about

01:18:37.700 two-thirds of people. May not work for you. So they give you a three-week quick start. They don't

01:18:41.800 keep saying well just keep trying it they tell you if you're not feeling anything in three months

01:18:46.080 stop taking it but try it for i'm sorry for three weeks but try it for three weeks try it for three

01:18:52.580 weeks you'll see the difference hopefully you'll be part of that 75 relieffactor.com 800 for relief

01:19:00.260 800 the number for relief they'll connect you with their local team they'll do everything they

01:19:04.000 can to help relieffactor.com 800 for relief fighting every day to keep the republic our

01:19:11.620 founders created. Glenn Beck continues after this.

01:19:15.400 oh let me uh go to the phones everybody ricky just read a list to me

01:19:45.400 of everybody that is commenting on all the news organizations

01:19:50.640 that are commenting on the president and our conversation this morning.

01:19:55.080 Who's writing about it, and what are they generally saying about it?

01:19:59.460 It's actually mostly fair.

01:20:01.920 They're just commenting straight news on CNN, it's The Hill, it's Jay Post,

01:20:06.280 it's Fox News, and they're all really focusing on what happened

01:20:10.340 with the meeting in Russia and his reaction to your questions on Iran.

01:20:15.400 I think they missed the whole point.

01:20:17.800 But the thing that he talked about, because this was the big story yesterday that was going on last night.

01:20:24.760 Apparently, our director of the CIA took an unannounced flight overnight.

01:20:31.620 One of our military planes flew over to Russia in the middle of the night.

01:20:35.540 The last time anything like this happened was right before Ukraine went to war.

01:20:43.300 and that was biden putting our cia director on the plane and saying to russia don't do this or

01:20:50.400 we're going to hit you with economic sanctions like you won't believe russia said screw you

01:20:53.960 um so it's a big deal it's a big deal and people were speculating because and i've heard this

01:21:01.020 and i said brought up to the president this is really we you got to stop this speculation here

01:21:06.300 what happened because speculation was russia is about to hit nato they're going to test nato and

01:21:14.140 that went from they're going to test some of the borders on nato which would be very bad

01:21:18.800 um to they're going to hit england for some reason why would they do that um and then the the the most

01:21:28.860 calm response on what was going on was he was sending somebody over and telling russia

01:21:35.920 you got to get away from Iran because we're going to put sanctions.

01:21:41.620 But that doesn't make sense because we already have tough sanctions on Russia.

01:21:46.640 The president said it was none of those.

01:21:50.040 He said it was actually more boring and routine in nature.

01:21:53.420 And I'm trying to remember, Jason, what was it he alluded to?

01:21:58.460 Because he didn't answer the question on what they were doing.

01:22:01.600 But he alluded to peace talks, didn't he?

01:22:05.920 Yeah, he went straight into how both sides want peace and they want to stop fighting.

01:22:13.380 I think that was directly what he said.

01:22:15.160 So, yeah, it was kind of alluding to that.

01:22:17.780 I don't know if that's the case, but it sounded like it.

01:22:19.900 So I had a European prime minister who told me in a private conversation, so I won't name him,

01:22:27.300 but I had a European prime minister tell me in a private conversation that Russia is dying for peace.

01:22:35.820 They really want peace.

01:22:38.280 You know, things are not going well for Russia in this,

01:22:41.180 and they really want peace, but they've got to save face,

01:22:43.800 and the only one that can do this is Donald Trump.

01:22:46.900 So hopefully that is what they're doing.

01:22:51.040 But you have to hear the whole interview for yourself

01:22:53.240 because we talked about everything, and it was pretty eye-opening.

01:22:57.200 There was a lot of news in that interview.

01:25:28.580 game the fusion of entertainment enlightenment and empowerment this is the glenn beck program

01:25:55.060 now i say this as a man who just spent 30 minutes with the president of the united states on today's

01:26:03.480 show we had a great conversation but having an interview or a conversation with the president

01:26:08.940 is different than having 30 minutes if i had 30 minutes with the president and i could i could

01:26:15.340 tell him a story in 15 minutes give me 15 minutes mr president let me tell you a story it is the

01:26:22.560 most important lesson I think anyone could give to the president, to the GOP, and to America.

01:26:30.040 I'm going to share with you what I would sit the president down and say, I want to tell you a

01:26:34.280 story, Mr. President. I want to teach you a little bit something about history you probably don't

01:26:37.580 know because I didn't know it until I walked the streets of Paris and things stuck out to me that

01:26:43.940 maybe don't stick out to most people, but they did to me. And I started asking questions. And when

01:26:48.000 I got to the end of those questions, I'm like, oh my gosh, I have to tell this story to the

01:26:52.280 American people and to the President of the United States. So we'll do that here in 60 seconds.

01:26:56.800 First, Medicare is one of the few things that you're expected to understand at precisely the age

01:27:02.200 that you finally earned the right to, you know, not do the homework anymore. You did your homework

01:27:07.160 for decades. You figured out taxes, mortgages, retirement accounts, insurance. You raised your

01:27:11.920 children, which means at some point, you know, you probably had to relearn a long division for

01:27:17.520 no apparent reason whatsoever. I've done it. I've been there. I've had enough.

01:27:22.820 The Medicare plan shows up. Parts, premiums, prescriptions, networks, enough fine print to

01:27:27.540 make you feel like there's just going to be a quiz on Friday. That's where there's chapter.

01:27:33.400 That's why there's chapter. They're a licensed Medicare advisor, do homework for you. They can

01:27:37.640 look across all the available Medicare options, take into account the things that actually matter

01:27:41.680 to you, your doctors, your prescriptions, your needs, and help you understand which options

01:27:46.540 really make sense. They're not paid to push you

01:27:48.720 into a particular plan. You've taken

01:27:50.560 enough tests. Let Chapter do the studying this

01:27:52.680 time. They compare every

01:27:54.640 medical plan nationwide. They found

01:27:56.520 people and saved people. In this

01:27:58.660 audience, an average of $1,100

01:28:00.500 a year in healthcare savings.

01:28:02.840 And the call is completely free. It takes

01:28:04.600 about 20 minutes. It's worth your time.

01:28:06.700 Please dial pound 250. Say the keyword chapter.

01:28:09.100 Pound 250. Keyword

01:28:10.620 chapter.

01:28:14.200 Okay,

01:28:14.680 This is what I want you to understand, and the president already understands this, but I'm going to give you a conversation that I would have with the president of the United States if he would give me 15 minutes to just listen to me tell him a story and teach him a piece of history that maybe he already knows.

01:28:28.900 But it revolves around this.

01:28:31.740 I have told you what the president is doing.

01:28:34.260 What the president is doing is laying a foundation for another century of America, okay?

01:28:40.420 He is not putting tape around the plumbing.

01:28:44.340 That's why you're not feeling the impact today that you might have felt in 2017.

01:28:51.840 What he did is he did simple things, move this lever, move this lever.

01:28:55.720 But then when he got out of office, they just moved all those levers back and it was over.

01:29:00.580 And then it got worse.

01:29:02.140 So he has to fix and tear all the plumbing that is broken and been taped up.

01:29:07.620 got to tear it all out, put new plumbing in, new foundation, and rebuild the house for a new

01:29:13.520 generation and a new century. And here's why you have this that just came out this week.

01:29:19.500 The Philadelphia Fed's manufacturing survey showed American factories are having their

01:29:24.940 strongest current conditions in more than five years. Factories. Remember, we don't build things,

01:29:30.660 Okay. More striking than that, manufacturers' expectations for the future. This means you call the factory and you say, hey, what do you think is happening in the future? Are you going to get better, worse, or about the same? It's off the charts with them saying, oh, it's going to get much better.

01:29:49.240 In fact, it is at the highest level since the beginning of the Reagan boom in 1983.

01:29:55.160 It's also the biggest one-month jump ever recorded.

01:29:58.820 In other words, manufacturers are going, we're going to start building things in America again.

01:30:05.040 I know it.

01:30:06.580 Okay?

01:30:07.760 Now, you haven't felt that yet.

01:30:09.860 This is them saying, this is what's coming.

01:30:12.940 But you're not feeling it yet.

01:30:14.760 You're still at the grocery store line paying your bills.

01:30:18.440 And, you know, maybe you're, you're, maybe if you're lucky, you know, your pay is keeping up a little bit, but most likely not.

01:30:28.060 Okay.

01:30:29.680 So let me tell you what I learned.

01:30:33.380 Because a factory that, you know, was announced this year makes its first part in 2029.

01:30:42.100 So you're going to build a factory?

01:30:43.960 That's it.

01:30:44.980 2029.

01:30:45.880 That's when the doors open.

01:30:46.900 A data center today breaking ground this month draws power in 2028 and pays for itself around 2034.

01:30:57.060 A drilling permit shows up at the pump in two years, maybe.

01:31:03.220 A restructured NATO, a new security architecture in the Middle East, Western Hemisphere rebuilt as the center of gravity for the next hundred years.

01:31:12.480 That's what's actually happening, but you're not feeling any of it because it's generational work.

01:31:19.060 20 years before a man in Ohio can look at his life and say, oh, that's what all of that was for.

01:31:26.700 Now, look at the calendar the people that are building all of this stuff live on.

01:31:33.020 Midterms in 90 days.

01:31:34.700 Presidential election in two years.

01:31:36.960 Let's give the president the benefit of the doubt for just a second.

01:31:39.660 Assume that the manufacturing base has come home because we all know if it doesn't come home, we lose the century.

01:31:48.740 Assume the energy and the compute is ours and China doesn't write the rules for artificial intelligence and everything downstream of it.

01:31:58.220 Assume the alliances were built for a world that ended.

01:32:03.880 assume every bit of everything that donald trump is doing is correct

01:32:11.020 it can all be correct and still cost him everything and here's where we have been

01:32:17.220 here's why i know we've been here before okay because it happened to the man who built the

01:32:23.000 most beautiful city on earth first time i've ever been over in paris i brought my kids over to to

01:32:28.600 do some homework and boy didn't they hear about the paris communes they love traveling with dad

01:32:33.740 But anyway, I'm walking down the streets of Paris, and I'm noticing the architecture, and I'm noticing that the boulevards are really, really wide, and all of the buildings look like they were built around the same time.

01:32:46.920 It's not like a hodgepodge of, oh, this was built, you know, in 1700 or 1500, and this one was built tomorrow.

01:32:53.720 It's all pretty much locked in.

01:32:55.760 All the parts of Paris that you know and you think about, it's all from the same time period.

01:33:02.000 So I started asking questions.

01:33:03.780 I started doing my homework.

01:33:06.460 Louis Napoleon, he spent his exile in London.

01:33:11.600 And what he noticed when he was in London, now this is Napoleon's son, not the palaces.

01:33:17.440 He noticed the parks.

01:33:19.240 He noticed the sewers.

01:33:20.620 He noticed the clean water.

01:33:22.020 He noticed the wide streets.

01:33:24.180 He comes home and he takes the throne.

01:33:26.780 and in 1853, he hires a guy named Haussmann.

01:33:31.640 Before he hired him,

01:33:33.520 he had already taken the map of Paris himself

01:33:36.500 and just redrew the whole thing, okay?

01:33:41.460 He redrew the streets.

01:33:43.340 He said, we're getting rid of these entire neighborhoods.

01:33:45.940 I mean, everything you think about as Paris today

01:33:48.900 was this guy.

01:33:50.320 And he drew it out on a map by hand

01:33:52.880 and then he colored in different colors.

01:33:55.820 This is what I want first.

01:33:57.300 This is what comes second.

01:33:59.260 The Paris in 1853 that he comes home to is hard to picture.

01:34:03.720 You could go down the street and you could touch both sides of the street.

01:34:08.700 You could touch the buildings on both sides.

01:34:11.460 Drinking water was pulled right out of the Seine,

01:34:14.400 downstream of the city's own sewage.

01:34:17.040 So cholera was a big...

01:34:18.600 Cholera killed 20,000 people in 1832,

01:34:21.400 then came back and killed, I don't know, another 20,000 in 1849.

01:34:25.460 so they go to work 17 years of work 20 000 buildings were torn down 34 000 went up in 17

01:34:39.200 years he hired a guy to build aqueducts 100 miles out for spring water he laid some 350 miles of

01:34:49.000 sewer cholera stopped parks were ordered and not just like in new york where it's central park

01:34:54.900 These are massive parks and not just in the rich places.

01:34:59.460 The great one on the east side went up at an abandoned gypsum quarry.

01:35:05.520 It was used as a garbage dump.

01:35:08.360 At the height of this, one in five working people in Paris were working on construction.

01:35:15.680 So let's look at what they got.

01:35:17.400 They got clean water, parks for the poor, work for the workers,

01:35:20.900 boulevards that the whole world flies in to see.

01:35:24.320 It's the most beautiful city in the world.

01:35:27.500 And all of these beautiful apartments and everything else.

01:35:30.180 The neighborhoods came down.

01:35:33.120 The old neighborhoods where everybody was living came down.

01:35:37.280 This is the key I want you to listen to.

01:35:40.500 The new apartments were renting for money that nobody had.

01:35:44.700 Okay?

01:35:45.380 So they moved east.

01:35:47.200 And Paris sorted itself by class in a way it never had before.

01:35:51.880 Also, dust for 17 years.

01:35:56.240 That was a problem.

01:35:57.820 They tore down the neighborhoods as they were going,

01:36:01.020 and so everything was torn up for 17 years,

01:36:03.680 and all the financing was done off the books,

01:36:05.780 which handed the enemy a weapon.

01:36:08.700 1868, a politician named Jules Ferry,

01:36:11.060 he publishes a pamphlet mocking the accounts.

01:36:14.120 Well, it landed, and Hausman was fired in 1870.

01:36:17.940 Four months later, Napoleon III put himself to a national vote, and he won about five to one. 0.60

01:36:24.140 So he was okay. 0.52

01:36:25.600 The country said yes, but Paris, the ones who were living in it,

01:36:29.280 and remember, this is a countrywide project in our time, they said no.

01:36:34.000 That July, the war came with Prussia.

01:36:36.360 By September, he was captured, and the empire was finished.

01:36:39.020 He died in England without ever seeing the amazing opera house that he ordered built.

01:36:44.240 then the republic that replaced him spent 50 years finishing his plans every single one of them so he

01:36:50.820 was right but he lost anyway why because the cost of a rebuild are immediate personal and addressed

01:37:02.040 to you the citizen by name the benefits are slow they're thin and they mostly belong to strangers

01:37:10.000 who arrive later, if you're paying for the boulevard, you're most likely not going to be

01:37:15.620 the one that walks on it. You get the dust. Your grandson gets the boulevard. Now, watch what

01:37:21.900 filled the hole that he left. Because remember, what Trump is doing is he's building this grand

01:37:29.120 thing, just like in Paris, but the people aren't feeling it yet, just like in Paris. So, what

01:37:35.680 happens in Paris, 1871. The war is lost, the city is starving, and the new government in Versailles

01:37:43.280 announces that the rent is going to be suspended during the siege. Anything that's due right now,

01:37:51.780 it's suspended. Pawn shops, you have to resume selling what people pledged. Paris starts to rise

01:38:00.000 up in 10 weeks the commune governed by the city and look what that's commune did for 10 weeks okay

01:38:06.580 rent owned from october forward all forgiven commercial debts postponed interest canceled

01:38:15.520 pawn shops were ordered return the tools return the bedding the clothing the linen worth 20 francs

01:38:22.100 or less give it back to those people for free because the working people had pawned their own

01:38:27.580 tools to eat night work in the bakeries abolished factories abandoned by their owners handed to

01:38:35.300 worker cooperatives there was a rent freeze debt cancellation cheaper bread you read the list tell

01:38:41.160 me you haven't heard this in english from a man who's just won the mayor's race okay

01:38:45.720 for 10 weeks it worked it was real a man walked into a pawn shop walked out with his own hammer

01:38:55.200 That's not nothing.

01:38:56.860 And pretending it was nothing is why we lose the argument.

01:39:01.040 But then the bill came.

01:39:03.160 In one week, it was May 21st to the 28th,

01:39:07.000 the retreating communards, which I love that,

01:39:11.300 because it just implies so much,

01:39:12.780 but the communards torched the Palace of Justice

01:39:17.280 and the Hotel de Ville and the city's entire archive in it. 1.00

01:39:21.880 The army didn't rest with artillery.

01:39:26.160 About a quarter of Paris was damaged.

01:39:29.040 6,600 dead.

01:39:32.340 Credible estimates are much higher than that.

01:39:35.140 43,000 people arrested.

01:39:38.280 Thousands deported to a penal colony in the South Pacific.

01:39:42.800 Where did the army do its finishing work?

01:39:45.400 Not in the rich districts.

01:39:48.600 Nope.

01:39:49.540 In the east.

01:39:50.380 place called Belleville the last of the barricades okay the neighborhoods that had gotten the rent

01:39:57.720 forgiveness paid for that in full and the ones that paid the most were the ones that had cheered

01:40:04.400 the loudest there was a painter Gustave Courbet and he was overseeing the pulling down of the

01:40:11.420 column at you know some big palace anyway the government sent him uh the bill for putting it

01:40:18.540 back 323,000 francs 10,000 a year until he was about 91 well he fled he ran to Switzerland he

01:40:28.480 died in December of 1877 that was the day before the first payment was due that guy's dead so the

01:40:34.480 point on that is somebody always is getting the bill but it's never the guy who gave the speech

01:40:41.000 he died

01:40:43.320 didn't we just see this movie in 2020

01:40:47.320 roughly 1500

01:40:49.120 businesses damaged in Minneapolis St. Paul

01:40:51.340 500 million dollars

01:40:53.520 something like 60%

01:40:55.380 of it uninsured

01:40:56.400 most of it along an

01:40:59.200 immigrant owned corridor on

01:41:01.080 Lake Street four years later

01:41:03.240 it's half rebuilt

01:41:04.640 the neighborhood that was burned 0.99

01:41:07.000 in the name of the people who live there

01:41:09.120 is still not whole

01:41:10.020 so let's put these two things together because they're the same city 10 months apart they're

01:41:17.120 the things now on the ballot right now one side is offering a hundred year project that's dom

01:41:23.420 trump you want to own the next century here's what we have to do and he's doing it but it's

01:41:29.280 dust now boulevards later and people it's not that you're not going to live to see the ribbon

01:41:35.420 cut. You'll live to see the ribbon cut, but you're not feeling it. Nobody's telling you

01:41:40.420 what we're building. On the other side, the other side is offering you free rent. I'm going to

01:41:47.000 forgive your rent this month. I'm going to give you free food. I'm going to make your groceries

01:41:51.380 so cost-effective, and it's real for about 10 weeks. This is what makes it so dangerous because

01:41:59.480 it's not that a lie. It's a lie. It works for a very short period of time. And the ruin

01:42:06.780 arrives on delay. And it arrives on the people who cheered. How do you beat? You're not going

01:42:15.620 to have to worry about your rent. How are you going to beat that with your grandson is going

01:42:19.960 to work in a factory? Logically, your grandson is going to work in a factory should work,

01:42:26.980 but it won't okay so here's what the people building the boulevards have better do okay

01:42:35.160 let me give you this advice to all gop members and anybody who's thinking about the future and

01:42:41.660 to the president let me give you this here in 60 seconds first our sponsor our sponsor this half

01:42:58.200 your gutters leaves and twigs and pine needles shingle grit all that weird black gutter sludge

01:43:04.380 that i'm pretty sure science is yet to classify it all ends up there and then for some reason

01:43:50.180 10 seconds and back to the show.

01:43:51.980 Okay. So how do you beat this? What do we do? First thing we have to do is say the numbers

01:44:09.280 out loud. 10 years, 20 years, whatever it is, five years. Okay. Stop promising groceries next

01:44:15.460 quarter. I'm convinced Americans will carry the stone for a cathedral, but they will not carry 1.00

01:44:22.780 a stone for a project that they don't know what it looks like in the end. They don't know what

01:44:27.920 it's for or it was supposed to be done last spring. Next thing, deliver something they can

01:44:34.020 touch this year. Now, that's hard because this president has delivered a lot of stuff,

01:44:38.920 Immigration that you can see.

01:44:42.480 But the emperor ended cholera in Paris.

01:44:46.600 Never once had to make it a slogan.

01:44:49.200 Find the water in this project, whatever it is.

01:44:52.400 The thing that shows up in a kitchen, and talk about that more than the boulevards.

01:44:58.440 Watch who's carrying the cost.

01:45:01.280 If the data centers are a national asset, the ratepayers next door shouldn't be financing them.

01:45:08.920 He should make this policy on, look, this is what I want you to negotiate.

01:45:13.080 It has to be done in your local markets, but I'm the best negotiator in the world.

01:45:17.220 Here's what I would be asking for.

01:45:20.500 Concentrate the pain on the people least able to absorb it,

01:45:24.540 and you will find out where the anger goes.

01:45:28.940 Keep the books open.

01:45:30.620 It wasn't the demolition that took Hausman down.

01:45:32.860 It was the accounting.

01:45:35.620 And understand who your competition is.

01:45:37.240 it's not a better plan it's a faster plan and it could be a really bad plan but it's faster

01:45:44.480 you might be building the right thing every honest historian in 20 21 20 might say that

01:45:51.360 but you're not going to be in the room when they say it what we have between now and then is a

01:45:56.220 country full of people handed a bill for a hundred year project in monthly installments and they don't

01:46:00.800 even understand it they're not ungrateful they're not stupid they're just living on a different 0.91

01:46:05.900 clock, and that's the only clock they have. Talk to them on their clock. Otherwise, the Marxist 0.97

01:46:13.160 will. They're going to talk. Somebody with nothing to build and everything to forgive.

01:46:21.260 And just like in Paris, the east side will burn again to pay for that short-term gain.

01:46:28.440 just tell us what you're building show us what you're building and then help us help us

01:46:36.160 all right uh there are a lot of people you never met who you know may know enough about

01:46:43.040 you to pretend to be you it's a strange sentence but think about how much of your life exists uh

01:50:24.880 said that you really want to go here you want to talk about circumcision well no because i mean

01:50:30.560 no nobody really wants to ever talk about i don't think people who give circumcisions want to even

01:50:35.020 talk about circumcisions but okay you know you're not going to embarrass me yeah we can talk about

01:50:40.500 that you're comparing circumcision to genital mutilation really uh you're you're you want to

01:50:49.080 compare that to hormone therapy where the boy will no longer be able to perform as a boy or a girl

01:50:57.000 will never be able and the surgery that will make it painful for them to have sex never have children

01:51:02.840 and anything like that, and wait a minute, you're comparing that to circumcision?

01:51:08.660 And notice what he did.

01:51:11.000 Just trying to embarrass, just bringing this up, thinking that, you know, we're just two,

01:51:15.380 we're all 12, and so we don't want to say the word circumcision.

01:51:19.420 It's unbelievable, unbelievable. 0.52

01:51:22.340 By the way, the super PAC that is linked to Hamas-friendly care takes credit for helping elect

01:51:28.680 El Saeed, and building a movement in our mosques, okay? Then you also have Hassan Piker, who's

01:51:38.740 buddies. If Jews in America keep putting this idea out there that they are singularly invested 0.92

01:51:46.860 in israel now he didn't say him he didn't he's not saying americans he's saying jews jews in

01:51:57.620 america keep putting this idea out that they're singularly invested in israel do you do you know 0.57

01:52:03.140 any jew like that is an honest question ricky do you know any jew that is like screw america 0.85

01:52:09.060 i care only about israel that's a jewish american somebody who lives no screw america no because 0.93

01:52:15.040 they need america they need us they would never say that oh my gosh look who has a thinking cap

01:52:21.440 on that el saeed doesn't have on um okay so um piker goes on if they keep putting this out

01:52:28.640 eventually someone's going to come around and take action not against the state of israel mind you

01:52:34.860 but against American Jews.

01:52:42.720 I want to ask you a few questions.

01:52:45.600 Have we ever heard talk like that before?

01:52:47.660 Yeah?

01:52:49.020 Ever?

01:52:52.340 What is he saying there exactly?

01:52:56.360 Now, Saeed has come out and said,

01:52:58.140 Oh, I just have to say, I'm not with him on everything.

01:53:04.040 Really?

01:53:05.420 Really?

01:53:06.060 In fact, this is what he actually said.

01:53:10.200 I want to be crystal clear.

01:53:11.280 Nobody speaks for this campaign besides me and my campaign spokespeople.

01:53:16.440 Okay, okay.

01:53:17.460 Well, that's not really a denial of that, is it?

01:53:22.080 So I asked the president today because I started the conversation saying,

01:53:27.700 look, here are all the problems that we're having right now.

01:53:30.140 Here are all the good things that are happening,

01:53:31.240 but here are the bad things that are happening.

01:53:32.560 We're at war.

01:53:33.340 We're a war with radicals.

01:53:35.580 I feel like parts of the world, the Western world, and parts of America feel almost occupied now.

01:53:42.720 They want Sharia law, et cetera. 0.77

01:53:44.560 So I asked him, would you sign a bill or would you sign a law that bans Sharia law?

01:53:51.280 Here's what he said.

01:53:52.520 Number one on Sharia law, I would absolutely say that's not this country.

01:53:57.020 There's no Sharia law. 1.00

01:53:58.800 And you do have pockets of it, as you know.

01:54:01.420 I would say no.

01:54:02.620 and you go to London, you go to Paris.

01:54:05.100 It's almost like a second way of life. 0.98

01:54:07.420 It's ridiculous. 0.93

01:54:08.760 And I would absolutely be on your side on that, 0.96

01:54:11.700 on a lot of other people's side too,

01:54:13.900 because, you know, you and I have people

01:54:17.460 that I think we're more based on common sense

01:54:21.420 than we are in ideology.

01:54:23.240 It's all about, good politics is all about common sense anyway. 1.00

01:54:27.380 But I would absolutely prohibit the Sharia law thing 1.00

01:54:31.820 And it is happening in this country a little bit. 1.00

01:54:34.920 And while we see it, we take it out.

01:54:37.060 And you have to take it out.

01:54:38.380 You have one system.

01:54:39.320 We have a great system.

01:54:40.780 Sometimes it's very frustrating.

01:54:42.860 But it's the best there is that I can see.

01:54:50.380 I would like to see somebody walk in and give him that bill to sign.

01:54:57.200 Congress isn't going to do it, but he should.

01:55:00.060 Ricky. 0.71

01:55:00.400 yeah one of those pockets where sharia law can be found is el saeed's pocket he's actually on 0.78

01:55:06.120 record saying that not only should we have sharia law you if you criticize it you are a white

01:55:11.360 supremacist when vice president jd vance uh said this just a few days ago el saeed's response 0.76

01:55:18.040 wasn't to deny that he's for sharia law it was just to take a dunk on usha because she's brown

01:55:24.080 or something so yeah and then i'll just mention this there are a few accounts go ahead on x right

01:55:29.980 now who have large following who are dunking on our question to the president about that because

01:55:34.460 they don't really think that sharia law is a threat in the u.s so yeah well good i have no

01:55:39.580 time for you i really have no time for you really you are not a serious person you have not done

01:55:47.000 any homework at all you are the person that sat in germany who was against hitler who said you

01:55:55.100 know what we can bring him in his chancellor and we can control him it's no big deal we can get

01:56:00.980 into bed with this guy because we'll control him and you have no idea what it's like to be with

01:56:06.580 people who will die for what they believe in and people who believe in sharia law will die for 0.98

01:56:15.240 sharia law are you gonna die for anything you well yes you will especially if you're lgbtq 0.94

01:56:21.500 you will absolutely die for your belief that sharia law is not a problem you will die you will die 1.00

01:56:28.000 i'm not going down with you you are not a serious person if you don't think that this is a threat 1.00

01:56:33.880 it is absolutely incompatible look what the hell is happening in spain that's an invasion

01:56:40.340 that's an invasion look what's happening in london do you think they're all going to be like oh let

01:56:49.180 me have my bloody tea here at four o'clock in the afternoon no no any country that has to issue 0.99

01:56:56.540 statements to immigrants that hey by the way here we don't rape children they should not be allowed 0.98

01:57:04.180 to come into your country you're just not a serious person i mean you know what i got a letter

01:57:13.940 from somebody. Let me see if I can find this. I got a letter from somebody. 0.98

01:57:19.340 Here it is. Dear Glenn, I've heard you comment on the new, old new rise of new and gold old

01:57:29.040 fashioned anti-Semitism. You have said on your program several times, I wonder what it would

01:57:34.340 like to be a Jew today. I think you're asking that rhetorically, but on the other hand,

01:57:40.660 it is a real question, right? Hundreds of thousands in the streets of major cities openly demanding

01:57:48.340 the annihilation of the state of Israel and the extermination of its people. Jews harassed, 0.99

01:57:54.960 intimidated, assaulted, and even killed on the streets of the West. Yes, including in America. 0.97

01:58:00.160 An endless parade of talking heads moving the Overton window. So it's again acceptable to

01:58:05.080 suggests things that not so long ago

01:58:08.220 would have been well into the never-again territory.

01:58:12.360 Just saw the piece on Hassan Piker's latest

01:58:14.680 not-at-all-veiled threats.

01:58:16.480 Eventually, somebody's going to have to come around and take action.

01:58:19.720 Are we really there, Glenn?

01:58:22.140 Are we really there? 1.00

01:58:24.940 At best, it might be okay to be Jewish 0.94

01:58:28.100 as long as you're the good Jew. 0.96

01:58:30.300 Does that sound familiar to anybody? 1.00

01:58:32.280 The right kind.

01:58:33.160 The kind that doesn't make waves. 0.61

01:58:35.080 the kind that isn't too Jewish or heaven-offend, too Zionist. 0.72

01:58:41.760 And maybe that's not even reliable. 0.55

01:58:44.400 So let me try.

01:58:46.200 Being Jewish today feels like half the world blames you

01:58:49.340 for anything that goes wrong for anybody, anywhere.

01:58:52.480 Like they hate everything that you are.

01:58:57.060 Everything you think, everything you believe, everything you stand for. 0.98

01:59:01.100 Like they hold you to be the most despicable, inferior, subhuman being on two feet.

01:59:08.220 And at the same time, they believe you're in control of absolutely every government, industry, and aspect of everyone's life.

01:59:16.220 It feels like constantly looking over your shoulder and seriously considering security wherever you go.

01:59:22.880 Like having to hide who you are in way too many places.

01:59:26.940 Like wondering, when is this all going to come undone?

01:59:29.860 like wondering am I next like wondering about your children constantly because they were born

01:59:38.500 into this family and just for that maybe they're next it feels like there's millions and millions

01:59:45.320 out there who would like nothing better to then to burn down your house dismantle your country 0.95

01:59:50.800 slaughter you your family your entire nation in the most barbaric way known to man don't believe 0.98

01:59:57.160 me see the october 7th gopro cameras like half the population of your own country half of your

02:00:03.760 your own body politic would like nothing more than to give them a hand

02:00:08.340 and like you may or may not ever be able to count on the government for protection when things really

02:00:15.900 get bad it feels like you so desperately want to explain to everybody how wrong all of this is

02:00:21.940 but you know there's no possible way anyone's ever going to hear you.

02:00:26.300 Like you want to weep and rage at how unfair all of this is.

02:00:30.400 Like sometimes you're not even sure there's a way out, except maybe for God.

02:00:35.920 So you tell me, Mr. Beck, how exactly does that feel?

02:00:41.700 Because I think you know very well.

02:00:45.240 I think at this stage you might as well just put on a kippah.

02:00:49.920 You can have one of mine. 0.77

02:00:51.120 Welcome to the tribe.

02:00:53.560 God bless you for speaking out on this, and may God help us all.

02:01:10.940 Have a nice day.

02:01:12.460 Now you buy a cup of coffee, and somehow you've enrolled in a seminar on the company's worldview.

02:01:17.420 Okay, if the companies want their values to be part of the transaction,

02:01:20.760 then I get to care about their values, and I get to decide if they get my money or not.

02:02:22.020 Glenn Beck returns in a moment.

02:02:41.780 welcome back to the glenn beck program we are back after an incredible i the the interview

02:02:59.520 today i did not expect it to get into some of the things that it ended up getting into if you're not

02:03:05.120 subscriber over at The Torch, it kicked off a huge discussion, specifically on over-regulation.

02:03:13.020 Wow, we could say that in so many different industries nowadays. But over-regulation in

02:03:17.900 the meatpacking process, cattle ranchers, all of that, it was just an amazing conversation that

02:03:23.280 they had. But then also, Glenn, right off the top of the show, the interview, asked the president

02:03:30.000 specifically, what is going on with the CIA director Ratcliffe going to Moscow? And if you

02:03:36.340 looked at social media yesterday, the speculation was all over the place. It was wild. You would

02:03:42.300 think World War III was about to start breaking out. That's how bad it was. The president said,

02:03:46.880 though, that it was none of the above as far as any of the rumors that were happening. He did kind

02:03:52.660 of, as Glenn was talking about, kind of maybe hint that it could have been Ukraine related.

02:03:56.960 I my theory personally was something involved with Operation Economic Outcast.

02:04:03.280 That's something we haven't really talked about because this is the week of Operation Economic Outcast from the president from the administration and the Treasury Secretary Besant.

02:04:13.640 Some of the things that Besant has said is no one.

02:04:16.280 This is a quote.

02:04:16.960 No one, including China, is beyond the reach of U.S. sanctions and they will be involved in the full reach of American power.

02:04:26.140 This was a sanctions package that is being sold as something that has never happened before,

02:04:31.140 this intense and this far-reaching.

02:04:34.040 And I looked into just some of the countries that would be the most affected by this.

02:04:39.940 And there's quite a list, and the administration is going to have a lot of work to do

02:04:45.260 to ensure that all of these countries are adhering to this sanctions package.

02:04:50.420 um china as you would probably expect is one of the large is the largest far and away that would

02:04:57.220 be the most affected by uh operation economic outcast iraq is on the list turkey is on the

02:05:04.100 list and the uae but the uae has uh pledged it was last week that they were halting uh transactions

02:05:12.040 But in the second tier of who is most affected by this, Russia.

02:05:19.120 Russia is one of the biggest people, or at least in that second tier, in the tiers of people that are affected.

02:05:24.240 So my theory was that this was part of it, but it was an interesting visit by the CIA director.

02:05:33.640 It's been an interesting week, everyone.

02:05:36.160 May God bless the Republic.

02:05:37.620 We'll see you tomorrow.

02:05:42.040 It is on!
