00:04:56.440 long week my kids have moved out of the house we moved uh out of our house and i i mean i i cried
00:05:03.000 over a gravy boat this week and i know i mean i'm prone to tears but you know i mean as a man
00:05:08.720 a gravy boat shouldn't be it wasn't even a gravy boat it was just like this stupid little i don't even
00:05:14.060 know gravy boat and uh and we were packing up the house and we were just giving a bunch of stuff
00:05:20.680 away and this stupid gravy boat and i'm packing it up to give it away and i look at it and all of a
00:05:25.020 sudden i remember my children because this is what tanya used to she would make spaghetti sauce every
00:05:29.300 sunday and she would put the spaghetti sauce in that and i remembered the faces of my children
00:05:35.120 you know pouring the spaghetti sauce out and i'm just like i just start bursting in tears and i'm like
00:05:42.100 we can't give away the gravy boat i just it's been a wild week so uh i'm glad it's friday uh let me
00:05:50.400 start with something uh you know you saw the sydney sweeney uh ad can we replay the ad please i think
00:05:56.180 it's cut 23 you can take the dude out of the country you can't take the country out of the dude
00:06:04.140 okay so let me just uh let me just say let me just say this um dei uh and all of this all of this
00:06:23.500 politically correct crap is dying however have you noticed the pushback on this it's not going away
00:06:31.900 quietly into this i mean it is kicking and screaming as the american people are trying to
00:06:38.420 just put a spear in it it's it's a vampire and we have got to put a giant stake in its heart
00:06:45.260 or uh it'll come back over and over and over again but the the average person is well i mean they're
00:06:52.800 human uh i hate to break it to progressives but you're dealing with humans and uh and socialist
00:06:58.560 communist you should know this you can't change human nature you can coax it you can you can uh
00:07:06.720 inspire it but you're not going to change it i mean we are built as a species uh this way for a
00:07:13.200 reason uh you know here's an idea you know guys like hot looking women why otherwise the species dies
00:07:21.900 out god created us this way what do you think i mean think about how i mean honestly i don't mean
00:07:28.260 to get but think about how icky sex really is i mean if you just think of it as clinically it's
00:07:34.580 pretty icky right it's pretty icky uh and i think that's the clinical word for it but uh i mean everybody
00:07:42.400 loves it why because it feels good do you think it feels good out of happenstance it feels good because
00:07:48.760 that's god going how am i going to get these people to do this how am i going to get them
00:07:53.520 how am i going to get them to do this all the time otherwise the species i could tell them hey you got
00:07:59.240 to do this or the species will die out and everybody would be like nah no thank you and we'd be doomed
00:08:05.240 that's why we're attracted that's why we have these things that are going on you can't deny that and if
00:08:11.920 you try to deny that it's a really bad thing you can control it as an individual but if you try to
00:08:18.320 beat it out of people it's just not going to happen so they're doing everything they can to
00:08:23.400 tell us that we should all be attracted to people who are wildly out of shape like me uh or really
00:08:30.000 unattractive again like me uh uh but it doesn't work it doesn't work and so now the natural man and
00:08:38.440 natural woman are coming back to say yeah i'm really tired of this fat is beautiful thing because
00:08:45.600 it's really not it's really not and it's not healthy either you can see as all of these things
00:08:53.940 are starting to happen notice notice that nike did the um uh ad with the with the golfer what was
00:09:01.060 the golfer's name stew with the baby scott scotty scheffler yeah what a great ad that is but you notice
00:09:07.920 that one's not getting the pushback that the sydney sweeney one is have you noticed that yeah no i haven't
00:09:14.320 seen any pushback on that it's it's just a and i it's universally great yeah yeah it's just universally
00:09:19.960 great right the sydney sweeney thing uh that one's getting all that's getting hammered now i did i want
00:09:29.080 to bring something to you that people are saying we're not sure if this is really her if this is ai
00:09:35.280 this is to give you an example of how you this is the first test that you uh need to give yourself
00:09:44.280 every time you see a story you see something in the news and again remember this is we're not sure
00:09:50.180 if this is ai or not okay the first test you take is is this making me really really really
00:10:01.060 unbelievably happy to hear it because if it is most likely you should pause before you say that's real
00:10:09.300 okay because it just makes you feel so good probably has a good chance it's not real this
00:10:16.860 really made me feel good i think this is cut 24 here's quote sydney sweeney about the controversy
00:10:23.980 um it has come to my attention that like fat ugly chicks are upset by my american eagle ad and
00:10:31.440 that's like honestly like so funny because fashion is only for attractive people i mean who are you
00:10:38.180 kidding like i'm sorry you're disgusting but this product um yeah it's not for you liberal women are
00:10:45.320 such spiteful sometimes but it's like not their fault i guess some of them are just born hideous
00:10:51.140 and that's like tough i also just want to say that throughout this ad campaign people have been
00:10:55.620 guessing my political views and i against the wishes of my um publicists i'm going to share
00:11:02.240 that i am way more right wing than you could ever imagine now i didn't this is the first time i've
00:11:09.780 seen the video that's obviously not her uh but if you're just hearing the the audio you know you're like
00:11:15.100 okay i mean uh would i like that to be true but no it's not no it's not now uh i would have to say
00:11:24.600 the same on the other side uh because uh this is a this is a response from the democrats uh and uh
00:11:35.320 a congresswoman i want you to watch uh cut 25 please look all we're saying is that we want
00:11:42.080 representation okay if if republicans are going to have beautiful girls with perfect tis in their ads
00:11:48.220 we want ads for democrats too you know we want ugly fat bitches wearing pink wigs and long
00:11:53.740 fake nails being loud and twerking on top of a cop car at a waffle house because they didn't get
00:12:00.120 extra ketchup you know just because we're the party of ugly people doesn't mean we can't be featured in
00:12:07.360 ads okay and i know most of us are too fat to wear jeans are too ugly to go outside but we want
00:12:13.580 representation klobuchar uh i don't think that's i don't think that's actually her uh what what tipped
00:12:21.820 you off on that one you know was there a specific she made sense oh yeah
00:12:26.260 she was speaking the truth yeah uh i don't know uh you know that one was a little harder that one
00:12:35.400 was a little harder uh because uh that's absolutely true uh what she said but uh
00:12:41.200 yeah did you see that i think it was gavin newsom posted you know some photo of donald trump
00:12:48.180 crying or jd vance i can't remember who was one of the one of the republicans you know doing
00:12:52.940 something and it was obvious ai photo and people were pointing out that the law that he wanted to
00:12:58.380 pass which would make uh you know it was being challenged in court but it would make ai representations
00:13:05.920 that aren't clearly marked illegal oh that's right he violated his own law by posting that uh oh my gosh
00:13:13.980 so you know it's funny because these things like there's always room for parody and the these both
00:13:21.540 of those videos you uh played were both so over the line and overt that you could tell right just
00:13:27.660 because of what they were saying obviously they would never say those things but like we're not far
00:13:32.940 away from uh from a situation where you're not going to be able to tell and i think right now you
00:13:39.400 could do it if you really wanted to and make oh yeah yeah you spend time and money you can absolutely
00:13:44.040 do it you see the dave rubin uh look alike no so uh dave rubin is uh going on you know his august
00:13:55.040 vacation uh and so he did an interview with himself ai dave and you can tell because it's you could tell
00:14:05.380 it's ai first of all because it always everything he says the ai answers with something like you know
00:14:10.920 that is a really good comment you know we're ai that's that's how you know ai is ai is if it's
00:14:17.980 telling you you're a genius right no matter what you say i was thinking about putting uh my hands
00:14:24.460 in shoes and walking on my hands all the time and hey i will that is a very good idea you know one of
00:14:32.220 the that's that's that's the best thing about you is your creativity and uh but anyway but it looks
00:14:38.960 just like dave looks just like him sounds like him it just doesn't have you know his sensibility at
00:14:45.960 all but that's do you remember stew we should find the old show that i did five or six years ago when i
00:14:54.720 couldn't get anybody to pay attention to deep fakes and i said no no no you don't understand and
00:15:00.440 we played a deep fake i think of me just my voice at the time and it was so digitized and so bad you
00:15:12.360 just had to listen you could tell you know it's obviously a computer but you could hear the beginnings
00:15:17.560 of it capturing my voice do you remember that yeah yep and i said it won't be long before
00:15:24.980 they'll nail this the good thing is it's harder to nail the voice than it is the image believe it
00:15:31.480 or not uh but now there's no there's no difference the only thing is is um just the expression is not
00:15:42.120 quite right it still doesn't have any life life to it any life behind it and i that'll change we keep
00:15:48.180 holding on to this idea that we can tell you know there's that uncanny valley sort of aspect that
00:15:53.260 it's gone it's i don't even think it's i wouldn't say it's gone yet honestly like there's still
00:15:58.420 it's going to be it's going to be gone and we're not far away i think there's this hope that like
00:16:03.720 humans have this sort of internal detector that is going to be able to pick this stuff off for a long
00:16:10.960 time and i don't think so i mean i think right now i i can still tell a lot of the times you know
00:16:15.980 there's like weird hesitations i mentioned this to you i don't know if we said this on the air off
00:16:19.860 the air but quickly i was listening to a podcast that had like an interview at the front of it
00:16:24.320 and the back it was like a news update it was like 10 minute news update so i listened to the
00:16:28.420 interview um which was real and then i went into the second part and it was a news update and i was
00:16:32.680 listening to it it just fell off to me like i you know it was the second it was in the background as
00:16:37.000 i'm driving i wasn't paying that close of attention and then at one point there was a financial
00:16:40.860 podcast and they they got to a point where they were describing a change in 401ks
00:16:44.900 and they said 401ks oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and so like and i was like oh gosh this is ai
00:16:52.260 right like you know at that point i definitely knew but i i felt it beforehand like i this is
00:16:57.340 something wrong is this ai i don't know there's something to it and and i hope this remains i hope
00:17:02.940 this is what you're talking about and it's and it's accurate it's almost as if you can feel there's
00:17:09.520 no soul behind it yeah you know what i mean yeah yeah you just and and it gets worse once you know
00:17:15.900 it if you're listening to something and it's just a little off you know and you're it's just not
00:17:21.400 connecting exactly right um uh but once you know it's ai then it's glaring there's no soul behind it
00:17:29.800 uh but i i i wonder if we're ever going to be able to close the gap of i hope we i hope we don't
00:17:37.520 where you just where you can't feel the life or the soul that's missing does that make sense to
00:17:44.160 you do you know what i'm saying yes that's kind of what i was talking about like i'm i'm hoping
00:17:48.080 like i think there's a belief that maybe we just have this ability this this inherent ability to do
00:17:53.740 that yeah i do wonder about it though i mean there are times where it's really difficult to to uh to
00:18:00.040 figure out and it's just getting more and more difficult by the day let me tell you something hang
00:18:03.980 on let me take one minute and i'm just going to write something down so i don't forget let me tell
00:18:07.160 you experience where uh that may be absolutely wrong you may not be able to tell in the future
00:18:12.740 hang on just a second let me tell you about the burner launcher some people carry around fear like
00:18:16.660 it's normal like it's a fact of life they stay away from certain places they walk faster to their
00:18:21.620 car at night and tell themselves just to get home safe listen closely because there is a legal
00:18:27.620 non-lethal option that is changing the game for personal protection i carry one it's the berna
00:18:33.140 compact launcher the berna the older one is really great a lot of fun great for the house but to carry
00:18:40.880 it it is it's rather large it's it's more like a you know a sig what is it sig 223 229 i can't remember
00:18:48.420 but uh it's a big gun the compact launcher is very small fits within your hand it you can carry it on
00:18:57.400 you concealed and you wouldn't notice uh and you can put it in a purse you know hey i'm not going to
00:19:03.780 judge you or you know maybe you can give it to your wife to put in her purse i'm giving one uh a small
00:19:09.700 one to my daughter because i my daughter has moved out of the house and i want her to when she moves
00:19:15.320 into her new apartment there by the school i i want to make sure that she's protected and she's not
00:19:20.480 going to carry a gun she just won't but i want i i want the peace of mind knowing that she's safe
00:19:26.460 that's where the berna launcher comes in the berna compact launcher 38 smaller than the standard
00:19:32.220 model packs the same energy per square inch as the law enforcement launcher it fires kinetic and
00:19:37.820 pepper and tear gas projectiles up to 60 feet away and the best part it is legal in all 50 states
00:19:44.180 requires no permit or background check i'm not saying you're you'll you'll ever need it i hope you
00:19:50.720 don't but if you ever find yourself in a situation where someone won't take no for an answer
00:19:54.680 i as a dad am glad that berna is around berna b-y-r-n-a.com learn more try before you buy
00:20:02.680 at sportsman's warehouse get one near you you can find it at berna b-y-r-n-a.com go there now check
00:20:09.780 this out berna.com 10 seconds so i i told you this before and stew you have got to go before
00:20:29.000 i mean you should go to have you ever been to england no i have not no okay i've only been there
00:20:35.180 once you know besides being in an airport um and uh you should go if anybody can afford to go to
00:20:42.820 europe or england you should go now because it's not long uh before it won't be england or europe
00:20:49.840 anymore um but uh in england they have this i don't remember what it's called this abba show
00:20:56.240 and the kids and tanya you know we we love abba and you know we'd be out in the pool every summer
00:21:03.900 since they were little and we'd be listening abba and singing in the pool and you know fooling around
00:21:07.660 as a family and so the kids love abba and rafe knew what we were going to go see but we didn't tell
00:21:14.920 cheyenne uh what it was we just said we're going to go see abba and they're all excited now this is
00:21:20.680 two years ago maybe so they're you know they're close to adults i mean they're not kids and we go
00:21:26.840 into the show and it it took them like five years to produce because they're the first to do it and
00:21:32.360 now the technology is there like crazy but it is it's hard to explain because it's not a hologram
00:21:38.900 doesn't sound right it is it is projection of some sort 3d they took i think 300 cameras on each of
00:21:50.160 them and filmed them um and the lighting the way this computer is the the graphics are so amazing
00:21:58.780 because the lights are real in the in the room you know you're seeing the light go on and it will
00:22:05.120 track right on their clothing it will throw the shadow on the ground the right way it is crazy
00:22:10.980 and i said to uh like the second or third song rafe and i were talking about it as we were because we
00:22:18.500 were so amazed by it and i said and let's see what cheyenne thinks i said hey cheyenne and she said
00:22:22.780 what and i said do they look real to you and she looked at me like i was crazy and she said what and
00:22:30.140 i said do they look real to you she said of course they look real i said they're not she said what are
00:22:35.980 you talking about i said that's not them that's a hologram she didn't believe me at first wow i mean
00:22:43.140 the technology the things that we can do right now are stunning uh and used in good ways that's
00:22:51.940 great but uh i i hope that uncanny valley uh stays at least on the one-on-one experiences you know
00:23:01.520 where you're listening to somebody or you're hearing them and you can tell it's not really them
00:23:06.380 this is glenn beck all right let me tell you about cozy earth you know the feeling when you
00:23:15.340 crawl into bed and immediately know it's gonna be a good night the pillows are just right the sheets
00:23:20.600 are cool the air is still and for those few precious hours the world just leaves you alone
00:23:25.600 that feeling now has a name it's cozy earth they make luxury bedding real luxury not the kind that

00:25:04.340 coming up in just a minute from just the news uh he is a journalist formerly of the wall street
00:25:10.040 journal he was with the new york times washington post and then then he was like you know what i
00:25:14.340 don't think they're telling the truth uh and started his own thing he is i think one of the
00:25:19.060 best reporters in america and he has been really tracking the story that broke yesterday and all of
00:25:26.580 the stories leading up to it and i wanted to get him on to talk about what was released yesterday
00:25:31.740 so he's coming up in about a half an hour yeah and that's kind of the big story i think the biggest
00:25:35.860 story of the day um oh yeah you know outside of uh sydney sweeney uh video on on radio uh but it's
00:25:43.240 funny because it's like it's such a big story and such a big development and you can see the media is
00:25:48.400 already going into overdrive to sort of try to push it down and give you reasons why you shouldn't
00:25:52.200 believe it yeah but we wanted to make sure we started with the guy who kind of broke the story
00:25:56.620 which is john solomon uh and he's coming up here in a little bit yeah so don't don't go anywhere on
00:26:01.240 that i i also it's friday and i wanted to uh uh sweep up on some things that we were talking about
00:26:05.800 earlier this week you know i've i've talked um um this week i've really tried to talk to young men
00:26:13.560 uh and and talk to you if you're parenting a young man uh because they're really struggling
00:26:22.220 and they've been taught lies their whole life um and they've been told to be something that they're
00:26:29.960 not you know it's kind of like i was saying you know earlier i'm sorry but guys are attracted to
00:26:35.800 beautiful women i remember walking down the uh we were in the mall my dad and i were walking
00:26:41.520 and this beautiful woman passed us um who you know uh had you know as my father would have said a nice
00:26:51.200 caboose uh and she walks past us now my dad is shuffling along he's 75 almost 80 at this point
00:26:58.760 and i said to him as she passed i know where my eyes went immediately and i said to him i said dad
00:27:06.340 can i ask you something he said sure i said does the feeling of and that's all i said and he stopped
00:27:13.500 me and he went nope it never goes away you see it no matter how old you are uh and i just i mean i
00:27:21.240 couldn't believe it i mean that's how guys think and you you can you can try really hard to be you
00:27:27.320 know moral and decent and you can accomplish those things but you can't change nature and that's exactly
00:27:34.240 what people have been people have been saying lying to to boys uh about you know they're bad
00:27:40.580 they're you know they're they're too aggressive they're not protectors you don't stand up and open
00:27:46.800 the door for women and all you know i don't even know what is toxic masculinity uh how would you define
00:27:53.180 that god other than just woke nonsense um yeah they're they say it's like a we believe believe in
00:28:02.340 male entitlement right um well that's just that's not male toxic toxicity that's just stupid that's
00:28:09.820 just wrong uh yeah right i mean it's the question is whether it's real or not i mean i don't right i
00:28:16.260 mean i don't know anyone who thinks like this right like it's just you know i'm sure there are but
00:28:20.560 there are neanderthals right all right um uh emphasis on emotional suppression um valorization of
00:28:30.140 aggression and dominance yeah see that is you know and and that is true but it's taken so far
00:28:36.700 to where you're not supposed to be a man you're not supposed to stand up you're not you know there's
00:28:42.060 never need for a warrior yes there is yes there is um you know you don't always have to lead no you
00:28:48.700 don't always have to lead but you know a lot of women like a man who knows where they're going and
00:28:54.580 says hey where are you going let's put these two things together let's go um you know and it just
00:29:01.860 the secret to success in life i think is confidence without being arrogant it's confidence i think the
00:29:09.900 sexiest thing in a woman is she knows who she is um and she's not afraid of it she's not afraid of
00:29:16.940 showing you know her weaknesses she's not afraid of of being who she is whether the world likes it or
00:29:22.980 not i just i find that very very attractive and i think most people are like that and so you know
00:29:28.540 here are guys they've been told sit down shut up you take this medication you're too aggressive you
00:29:34.400 know uh all of this all of this stuff and now they're left at a place to where they don't have
00:29:40.860 meaning in life they don't know what anything is there's nothing real you know they they they're
00:29:47.640 they don't have to talk to people and this is on both male and female you don't have to talk to
00:29:52.840 people anymore you never grew up having those uncomfortable moments because it's all been
00:29:57.980 texting even if you're sitting next to one another and you know i look at my son his friends etc etc
00:30:05.360 who are great kids great guys um i'm just so proud of my children and their friends but um
00:30:12.020 they're still they're still lost this this a lost generation and you have to it it is so hard you
00:30:23.840 have to you have to find out who you really are what you really are and you know my i've heard people
00:30:34.840 say you know fake it until you make it and and i guess that's somewhat true um because you have to
00:30:41.740 break these habits and i remember my father um he was such a help to me when i was you know
00:30:48.820 recovering from my alcoholism and trying to figure life out and you know i just said i i was on the
00:30:55.480 phone i don't remember what i said but i was saying something about you know dad i just have all these
00:30:59.960 problems and i just and he said you are living a lie and i said i know that's one of my problems and
00:31:06.020 he's like no no no no you are living a lie he said i want you to do something he said i want you to
00:31:11.180 get up tomorrow morning and i want you to tonight i want you to put a uh a notepad and a pencil or a
00:31:18.920 pen next to the bed the minute you open your eyes i want you to take and put a line down the middle of
00:31:26.440 the sheet and just put a p and an n positive negative and he said don't judge the thoughts
00:31:32.400 don't think of the thoughts don't pursue them just just look at everything that goes through your mind
00:31:38.340 every fleeting thought that goes through your mind from the minute you wake up until you go to bed
00:31:43.720 that night and just put a hash mark was that a positive or a negative he said you are focused
00:31:50.980 all on the negative about you and uh so i did that and i remember i called him about noon uh that day
00:32:01.640 because it was i'll never forget it was like 5 38 a.m i had been up for about an hour
00:32:07.480 and uh i had gotten dressed got out of bed gotten dressed got into the car i was halfway to work and
00:32:13.760 i was sitting at a stoplight in hamden connecticut i can see right where it was and i'm sitting at the
00:32:20.660 stoplight and i pick up my pen and i put two hash marks down in the n category and i realized there
00:32:28.580 wasn't a single p in that category or on that paper not one and there was probably 20 ends and uh i call
00:32:38.940 my dad and i said uh this is unbelievable this is unbelievable and he's like that is the problem
00:32:44.660 your thinking is what creates your life what you think about yourself how you look at life what you
00:32:53.380 think all thought this is really important all thought is creative god thinks it he speaks it
00:33:00.480 and it becomes you think it you speak it and it becomes it's why i i i try my hardest never to say
00:33:09.120 things like uh i'm just a screwed up person no i'm not i'm not i'm somebody finding my way
00:33:17.580 i'm somebody really searching for the truth um you have to change that and break that because
00:33:26.160 until you can say i just told my son this just the other day you got to start saying to yourself
00:33:34.600 i'm strong i'm positive i'm getting better every day i'm getting stronger every day i'm getting
00:33:39.740 healthier every day i'm understanding the world more and more every day instead of saying i'm just so
00:33:46.480 confused i'm just so lost i'm and that is natural to say we tend towards the negative anyway um and
00:33:55.200 let me show you this this is an action now this almost got a friend of mine who's now the my new
00:34:00.520 ceo of my new company um the torch one of the reasons why um i want to work with him and wanted to work
00:34:09.040 with him for a few years is because he's one of the most optimistic guys i know and he is a guy who
00:34:15.980 he's a serial entrepreneur um he's always curious about things and he has just created great teams
00:34:24.240 and uh done it over and over and over again in his life and he doesn't need to do it anymore
00:34:29.660 um but he wants to and we were talking for a while about putting something completely different together
00:34:36.220 uh as a company and the other day i was having a really bad day really bad day you've heard it because
00:34:42.720 if you're listening to me this week you know uh and uh he came over to the house and i was
00:34:48.880 in a mood and he comes over to the house and i have a glass door at the front door and i come up and
00:34:55.380 there he is with his smiley ass smile on his face and he's just happy he's always happy he's honestly
00:35:04.760 he's like a dog that's always wagging its tail it's always like i'm so glad to see you and sometimes
00:35:09.920 you're like back off and uh i open up the door and he's not even in yet i open up the door and i
00:35:16.300 said lynn are you always happy and he said yeah i am and i said i'm gonna have a hard time with
00:35:28.000 this conversation tonight because i'm not happy right now uh and he said you know glenn and he's
00:35:33.900 walking in you know glenn i found that happiness is a choice and i said wow i understand that because
00:35:44.180 i realize right now that punching you in the face is a choice and i'm choosing not to punch you in the
00:35:52.320 face and and he still stood there and he just laughed and then he smiled back at me and he's like
00:35:59.360 see it's all a choice uh this is a guy who's actually mastered that uh i'm not a guy who's
00:36:07.460 mastered that but once you understand that everything in your life is a choice nothing is
00:36:13.860 happening to you that you can't choose to look at it in a different way in a positive way not not
00:36:21.800 just saying you're denying things because i really felt like a fraud for a while my father said change
00:36:26.360 your thinking change your life and he said you have to start telling yourself things and i said
00:36:31.640 but dad i don't believe those things right now and he said you will he said but you have spent your
00:36:37.100 whole life telling yourself you're this when that's not true he said so now you just have to every time
00:36:44.440 you have a negative thought he said remember it takes about 10 positive to overcome a negative you have
00:36:51.240 to figure out what that thought is and then change the way you think about that so instead of saying
00:36:58.360 i'm just so lost i am finding my own way i'm finding a different way i'm finding a new way i am i am right
00:37:07.180 now um really searching for this new path he said if you do that eventually you will believe that about
00:37:17.000 yourself and honestly i didn't believe that when he said that i said i don't think so and he said well
00:37:23.380 i'm 70 you're 30 what do you say you give me the benefit of the doubt and give it a whirl
00:37:31.200 and i did and it totally changed my life totally changed my life that is the one thing that we have
00:37:40.820 to convince our young men of you are not who everyone has said you are you are not somebody
00:37:48.360 who is boxed out and by the way you can't say to yourself i'm not unhappy because it doesn't under
00:37:56.060 your brain doesn't understand positive and negative like that it just is it will create whatever the the
00:38:01.800 overall action is so we have to tell them that they're not that but we have to also tell them what
00:38:08.920 they are and then they have to start telling themselves that you know if we all started to
00:38:14.860 say you know we're a country that has had really bad problems but we are a country that is getting
00:38:20.500 better every day we're a country where our citizens care we're we're a citizen that cares i struggle
00:38:28.760 sometimes but i am finding my way to new ideas and and new ways to care to make my country better
00:38:36.920 that would change the world overnight somehow or another we need to find ways to tell ourselves
00:38:47.000 these things and to teach it to our children because they are extraordinarily lost right now
00:38:53.800 but the good news is they are capable of every they're capable of more stuff than we can possibly
00:39:00.960 imagine and they are going to change the world and it may not be the way we like it
00:39:06.240 but if they're smart if they have been taught proper principles they will change it and it will be for
00:39:16.140 the better all right back in just a minute first john solomon's coming up in just a second let me tell

00:46:39.740 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:46:45.980 Hello, America.
00:46:47.640 It's Friday and we've got a lot to cover.
00:46:50.940 John Solomon, I've got two of my favorite people on this hour.
00:46:54.480 John Solomon from Just the News.
00:46:57.100 He is a credible investigative journalist.
00:47:00.760 Been around forever.
00:47:01.820 Praised by everybody until he started telling the truth that some on the left didn't like.
00:47:06.540 And you know what?
00:47:07.320 You know a good journalist when people on both sides have a problem with things that they might report.
00:47:14.700 And you're like, okay, they're fair.
00:47:16.280 Remember Tim Russert?
00:47:17.020 John Solomon is cut from that cloth.
00:47:19.560 He's going to tell us what's going on with the Clinton emails, the stuff that was released yesterday.
00:47:27.220 To me, it looks like very big news.
00:47:29.920 And what a surprise.
00:47:30.900 George Soros is involved.
00:47:32.220 But we'll get John Solomon to talk about it.
00:47:34.420 And then after that, we have Vivek Ramaswamy at the bottom of the hour.
00:47:37.360 We're going to talk a little bit about the beatdown in Cincinnati and what is really happening in Ohio.
00:47:42.840 He's running for governor of Ohio.
00:47:44.800 We're going to talk to Vivek coming up about 30 minutes from now.
00:47:47.780 So let's get to John in 60 seconds.
00:47:50.880 First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.
00:47:53.440 The real truth about a real estate agent is when it comes time to buy or sell your home, a bad agent is going to cost you money.
00:48:02.520 A good agent will make you money.
00:48:04.840 And a great agent is the one who listens to you, knows the neighborhood, knows the market, knows how to negotiate without losing their cool or the house.
00:48:14.540 A great agent can mean the difference between a smooth sale and a financial disaster.
00:48:20.260 Real estate agents I trust is the fastest way to find that great agent.

00:49:08.220 John Solomon, welcome to the program, sir.
00:49:09.760 How are you?
00:49:11.100 It is great to be with you, Glenn.
00:49:12.660 Thanks for having me on.
00:49:13.500 You bet.
00:49:14.840 So here's – I want to start with this premise, and I know you're the same way.
00:49:18.520 I really don't care about the politics at this point.
00:49:21.380 Politics will follow later.
00:49:22.940 I want to know the truth.
00:49:25.460 And if I'm reading the Washington Post or New York Times, they're saying, this is not news.
00:49:31.840 These are all fake.
00:49:33.060 These were all Russian tools, you know, put out to discredit Hillary Clinton.
00:49:39.100 And so we shouldn't pay any attention.
00:49:42.140 Tell me what was released and what you think at this point is true and not true.
00:49:47.540 Yeah.
00:49:49.100 So what was put out yesterday is called the appendix, the classified appendix, the John Durham's final report, the special prosecutor who looked at Russiagate.
00:49:56.700 This is something he couldn't release publicly because it involved highly classified intercepts that the United States government had.
00:50:03.260 These intercepts are of Russian spies, the GRU and other Russian spy agencies.
00:50:07.580 And this has been a very successful program.
00:50:10.340 There are multiple ways we intercept the Russian spies.
00:50:12.940 But over the years, we've used this to make very major decisions about Russia.
00:50:17.280 So the information is deemed to relatively be reliable.
00:50:21.620 In fact, James Comey thought it was so reliable for this program that he used information from this program to rush out and wave his magic wand and decide that on his own, even though he wasn't the attorney general, he would clear Hillary Clinton of wrongdoing in the scandal.
00:50:36.860 Why? Because the Russian intercept suggested that Loretta Lynch was part of an effort to fix the case.
00:50:42.660 And he didn't want that to happen.
00:50:43.800 So he fixed the case himself.
00:50:45.840 And so we've acted on this intelligence over the years.
00:50:50.280 In July of 16, Durham says, the United States government intercepted information saying that the Russians had found out that Hillary Clinton had developed a plan and personally approved it to hang a fake Russian shingle on Donald Trump's campaign house.
00:51:06.340 Basically accused him of being a Vladimir Putin stooge, maybe be involved in the hacking of the Democratic National Committee computers.
00:51:13.800 And it was deemed so credible that John Brennan ran and briefed Barack Obama.
00:51:19.300 And then he briefed the entire senior leadership, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, James Comey, James Clapper.
00:51:24.620 And, of course, John Brennan himself was the recipient of the information.
00:51:29.080 So his agency did it rather than investigate it, rather than use it as a reason to be dubious when Christopher Steele walks his dossier in or Michael Sussman walks in his alpha bank baloney.
00:51:43.120 They actually lean into it.
00:51:44.960 They actually decide they're going to investigate these allegations as real, even though there was enormous reason to be paused.
00:51:51.100 Now, in these information, there are purported emails in which someone in the George Soros world writes, hey, I just got told that Hillary Clinton is going to hang the shingle and the FBI is going to participate in it.
00:52:02.400 Now, he denies he wrote the email.
00:52:04.880 Wait, wait, wait.
00:52:05.580 He says, he says, I don't remember writing it.
00:52:09.500 No.
00:52:09.960 One of the lines kind of sounds like me, but I have no recollection of it.
00:52:13.780 Or did he actually say, absolutely false, I didn't do it?
00:52:18.220 Yeah, he said, I wouldn't have used language like that.
00:52:20.720 I didn't write that email.
00:52:21.640 He does.
00:52:22.180 Now, Jake Sullivan is a little bit different.
00:52:24.300 Jake Sullivan is, I don't remember, but I can't rule it out.
00:52:28.080 So Jake Sullivan, the national security advisor to both Clinton and Biden over the years, has a little bit different.
00:52:34.220 But as you walk through this, the intelligence community ultimately decides that this is probably not a fabrication.
00:52:41.640 The FBI does so in 2017.
00:52:43.620 Now, it doesn't stop them from continuing to investigate the bogus Russia collusion pact, but they decide that this intelligence is likely not fabricated.
00:52:51.940 The CIA believes that it's likely predictive.
00:52:54.820 Now, the way the program works, sometimes the Russian spies will fabricate in some way the detail.
00:53:02.220 They'll make it look like it's an email, but it's really a summary.
00:53:06.000 So we're aware of that.
00:53:06.960 But what we generally know is whatever we get from the program is probably accurate, even if it's not an exact replica of an email or an exact replica of a text message.
00:53:16.720 And so both the intelligence committee said there's likely the FBI said that this is not fabricated.
00:53:23.240 It probably is reliable information.
00:53:24.960 And history will tell us that what we intercepted actually happened.
00:53:30.140 Hillary Clinton did exactly what we know.
00:53:32.920 They authorized the steel dossier.
00:53:34.920 They authorized the Sussman Alpha Bank stuff.
00:53:37.480 They went out on the news media and tried to paint Donald Trump as a fake Russian stooge for Vladimir Putin when he wasn't.
00:53:46.180 And I want to point out the most important evidence that the early intelligence people realized looked like the Russians either were fortune tellers or they knew and had intercepted a real plan.
00:53:57.040 One of the early intercepts is that what's going to happen is they're going to Hillary Clinton has approved this plan.
00:54:02.740 And then we're reaching out to Joe Biden for Joe Biden to take the lead on this.
00:54:06.300 Well, guess what happens?
00:54:07.080 Within 24 hours of that intercept, Joe Biden goes out and he's the very first major Democrat to go suggest that Donald Trump's got a problem with Russia, that he's a stooge, and that he's going to be bad for America, and that he's owned by Vladimir Putin.
00:54:22.340 How would the Russians know that?
00:54:24.160 How would they guess that and just know that that would happen?
00:54:26.380 How would they know that, you know, the FBI was going to open up a case in a few days?
00:54:30.500 So when the intelligence community looked back at this, the actual events of what played out with Hillary Clinton looks like exactly what the Russians knew in advance.
00:54:39.600 And that's why they gave great credence to the idea that whether a specific email is accurate or not, the general information the Russians had intercepted likely occurred.
00:54:51.240 So then why did Durham bury this stuff?
00:54:54.740 Because what they're saying is they had all this stuff.
00:54:57.740 Durham was, you know, this is under the Trump administration.
00:55:01.940 Why didn't this come out if it was so real?
00:55:03.940 This is just, they're just doing a hatchet job on, you know, Hillary and Obama.
00:55:07.860 I mean, the New York Times said the reason why this is out is because he's trying to avoid his name being, you know, in the Epstein files or whatever.
00:55:17.540 That's right.
00:55:18.640 So why didn't we come out with this?
00:55:21.800 Why are we just hearing about it now?
00:55:23.220 Well, in fairness, there were parts of the, you had to work hard because John Durham's team was not a good writing team.
00:55:30.120 But the original report in the unclassified version had a lot of this.
00:55:34.080 I wrote about it a couple of years ago, and I spent the last two years trying to get this declassified.
00:55:38.520 And when I brought President Trump on my show a couple weeks ago, I asked him, he said, I'll do it.
00:55:42.660 And two weeks later, he gave it to Joe, to Chuck Grassley.
00:55:45.800 So he did what we asked him to do.
00:55:47.160 I had been advocating for the release of the classified version for two years.
00:55:51.220 You could tell there was something very important.
00:55:53.320 John, Durham generally talks about the Clinton plan initiative.
00:55:56.540 Most reporters didn't see it as significant.
00:55:58.740 I did.
00:55:59.640 And I think now we see why it's significant, which is the FBI had a very good reason not to investigate Steele's dossier based on this intercept.
00:56:08.320 It had a very good reason not to go to the FISA court and seek fake surveillance warrants.
00:56:13.420 It had a very good reason not to bring the United States to the trauma of what we call Russiagate.
00:56:18.240 But they chose not to do it.
00:56:20.220 And it's the same FBI that a few months more earlier had used the same Russian intelligence intercept program to take concrete action in the Hillary Clinton case.
00:56:28.620 So when it's beneficial to a Democrat, they treat the Russian intelligence as real.
00:56:33.520 And when it's detrimental to a Democrat, they try to dismiss it as Russian disinformation.
00:56:37.760 I'll just say this.
00:56:38.900 History shows in the last few years when the New York Times tells you that something is true or not true on Russia, they've been generally wrong a lot.
00:56:46.080 And when Democrats call something Russian disinformation like the Hunter Biden laptop, we should all be a little dubious.
00:56:52.180 That is going on right now.
00:56:53.800 That machinery of the New York Times and the Democrats are back to the Hunter Biden language.
00:57:00.600 We should be dubious.
00:57:01.500 We should get to the facts.
00:57:02.520 One of the things in the New York Times story this morning completely omitted.
00:57:05.860 In the Durham report, it says that the FBI concluded that these were likely not fabrication.
00:57:10.920 You think the New York Times would put that in their story, but I couldn't find it in there.
00:57:14.240 No, it's not.
00:57:15.860 It's not.
00:57:17.480 John, give me the best argument on their side that should cause you to pause and go, well, maybe.
00:57:26.140 Maybe this isn't right.
00:57:28.140 What is the best?
00:57:29.980 Go ahead.
00:57:31.160 Yeah, John Durham never found an email, though he had access to subpoenas.
00:57:35.120 I don't think he never found an email that matches the one that is attributed to the Soros Foundation.
00:57:39.380 He did find others, and he found language in other emails that were sent that are identical, but just not from this guy.
00:57:46.140 Now, that is something that happens a lot with the Russians.
00:57:49.640 They know that we're spying on them, so sometimes they mix things up.
00:57:54.520 They intentionally say this came from Joe when it came from John, so that if we do intercept it, we think it's misinformation.
00:58:00.920 But, in fact, they haven't.
00:58:01.920 So John Durham ultimately concludes that these were probably compilations of real intelligence.
00:58:07.960 By the way, that's a very important thing.
00:58:09.860 John Durham says, all right, it doesn't matter if the emails are exactly from who they say they are.
00:58:14.320 The intelligence in them is likely to have been true.
00:58:17.240 So this is another reason why I felt that these were credible.
00:58:22.760 Before I even read any of it, I started reading some of the summaries of them and commentaries about them.
00:58:31.400 And the left was immediately saying, it's old, it doesn't matter, it was 10 years ago.
00:58:37.140 And I thought, wow, Russian disinformation and it doesn't matter anyway.
00:58:42.040 That's usually the sign that it's really dangerous.
00:58:45.440 It's going to be a song. It's going to be a country song someday.
00:58:47.500 What makes this different than all of the other stuff that doesn't go anywhere?
00:58:55.120 Well, listen, it may not be different.
00:58:57.640 That will be the legacy of this era, that we unraveled one of the worst political scandals in history,
00:59:02.820 and we really couldn't hold anyone accountable.
00:59:05.080 Why do you say this? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:59:07.400 Why do you say this is one of the worst political scandals in American history?
00:59:11.360 That's quite a statement.
00:59:12.220 It is, because in no other time in history have we found a U.S. intelligence and FBI apparatus used to carry out a political dirty prick.
00:59:21.220 Listen, they knew the Steele dossier was fake.
00:59:24.120 They decided they continued to use it to spy and mislead the FISA court.
00:59:28.360 They knew that the career officials of the Intelligence Committee didn't think Vladimir Putin was trying to help Donald Trump win the election,
00:59:35.020 and they overruled them and rewrote the report.
00:59:38.020 Those are incredible abuses.
00:59:39.880 These are the most powerful tools we give the U.S. intelligence community and the FBI.
00:59:44.080 They're supposed to only be used to go after our enemies, terrorists, intelligence threats to America.
00:59:50.600 And in this era, from the 2016 to 2019 time frame, we see those communities are being used to carry out political missions,
00:59:59.460 to denigrate a political opponent, to falsely call true evidence of wrongdoing against a Democrat, the Hunter Biden laptop disinformation,
01:00:07.340 to use the FISA court to spy on your political enemy, submitting to it to get that permission,
01:00:13.700 unreliable and inaccurate information.
01:00:17.640 That is one of the greatest abuses.
01:00:19.920 In past times, we've had a lot of abuses in the Intelligence Committee, things like we tortured people and we did things.
01:00:24.960 Here, the abuse is the American people.
01:00:27.560 The intelligence tools were used to carry out a political dirty trick designed to deceive the American public about who they elected and who they might elect.
01:00:36.420 And I think that's why it's such a big scandal.
01:00:38.580 You have to get to 30,000 feet to look at it.
01:00:40.720 You can get into the weeds and then it gets complicated.
01:00:42.900 But the FBI and CIA were used to deceive the American people and to potentially thwart the will after they elected Donald Trump.
01:00:51.480 That's something we can't allow to happen again.
01:00:54.500 John, thank you.
01:00:55.520 Thank you for everything you do.
01:00:56.720 I know I say this to you every time, but you're one of the few guys I really trust.
01:01:00.540 And I appreciate all the hard work you do.
01:01:02.940 Thank you.
01:01:03.760 That means a lot.
01:01:04.460 Thank you, Glenn.
01:01:05.320 You bet.
01:01:05.680 Bye-bye.

01:01:18.980 I know because he'll piss me off at times.
01:01:21.700 He'll say things.
01:01:22.360 He'll report things.
01:01:23.060 And I'll be like, no, I want it to be true.

01:01:29.900 How do you how do you know who to trust?
01:01:31.740 Well, I look for people that will say things on both sides and they will say, this is true.
01:01:39.060 This is not true.

01:02:48.100 Let me pause for 10 seconds.
01:02:49.300 It is really amazing, Stu, isn't it?
01:03:02.220 How the New York Times and the Washington Post both are pretty much ignoring this.
01:03:08.440 I mean, they're not ignoring it.
01:03:09.580 They're running one story saying, you know, basically the same thing they said on the Hunter Biden laptop.
01:03:15.240 Exactly the same thing.
01:03:16.960 And the mainstream media is following them, doing exactly the same thing.
01:03:21.580 You want to talk about, you know, doing the same thing and expecting different results.
01:03:26.060 They're insane.
01:03:28.980 They have gone insane because they're doing exactly the same thing.
01:03:33.860 And they're expecting now different results than, I think, than what they're, you know, it hasn't been working for a long time.
01:03:42.200 And I don't think this is going to work.
01:03:44.500 The only thing they have going for them on this one is they'll say it's old and all these people are in the past and it's confusing.
01:03:53.060 And it is, but it doesn't matter how old this is.
01:03:56.660 It's important to correct it.
01:03:58.480 Yeah.
01:03:58.620 You know, reading the New York Times take on this, they, I would say, are leaning harder into it's just not real.
01:04:05.200 It's not, you know, it's more of that.
01:04:07.340 One of the most shocking things in it is they claim they basically get mad at Durham for putting all of this in the annex because it showed that it because they were hiding the fact that this plan
01:04:22.280 was likely Russian intelligence, which is, I guess, what they come up with as a summary of it.
01:04:28.420 Right.
01:04:28.700 But we didn't even know about the plan.
01:04:31.300 I know.
01:04:32.520 What do you mean he was hiding that it was Russian intelligence?
01:04:35.340 We didn't even know about these messages really until today or yesterday.
01:04:39.600 And they're pretty incredible.
01:04:41.040 Even if they are, even if they are pieces of other emails and Russian pieces, you can see.
01:04:50.880 And as John said, what those emails say happened.
01:04:55.580 So, I mean, what a coincidence that is.
01:04:58.840 Here's what the Washington Post said.
01:04:59.920 The report contains no proof that, as Trump officials and allies have alleged in recent weeks,
01:05:05.940 Clinton and senior U.S. officials close to President Barack Obama schemed to concoct erroneous Trump links to Moscow,
01:05:13.020 sullying his 2016 election victory in first term.
01:05:16.100 The existence of unverified intelligence suggesting Clinton approved a campaign plan to tie Trump to Russia
01:05:21.280 has been publicly known since at least 2020.
01:05:23.920 Okay, so they hid it until 2020, and so, you know, it's old, so why do you even care?
01:05:32.180 Well, because it does show, and it's not close to President Barack Obama, it is President Barack Obama.
01:05:42.580 You know, one of the things I'm really so frustrated about, and they'll never do it because it'll expose the whole thing,
01:05:48.880 you know, and I know, that they have, the NSA has every keystroke of everybody's, everybody.
01:05:56.000 They have every keystroke.
01:05:57.140 And if you're important, you don't get dumped and cleared out.
01:06:00.560 You know what I mean?
01:06:01.600 That's what those NSA server farms are in Utah.
01:06:05.220 I mean, it's a side of a mountain, a side of a mountain deep underneath.
01:06:10.100 It's just server farms.
01:06:12.220 Well, what do you think they're collecting?
01:06:14.020 And every time I hear, well, we don't know, that's a lost email, they can't, the NSA has it.
01:06:22.180 Now, the reason why they won't produce it is because then they have to admit, oh, yeah, we're keeping all of that information.
01:06:27.820 But you know they have it.
01:06:30.300 And it just pisses me off because they'll use that stuff against you and me, but not against the power structure.
01:06:36.520 New York Times said the declassified Durham report annex shows the special counsel set out to prove the Clinton plan emails were real,
01:06:45.760 but decided they were fakes made by Russian spies.
01:06:48.720 That is such a, I mean, that is, hello, Satan.
01:06:52.080 That is exactly the way Satan works.
01:06:54.720 You know, a little bit of truth and a little bit of lie.
01:06:57.940 And, yes, they were fakes made by Russian spies, but that's not all he said.
01:07:06.380 They think they were cobbled together from real things.
01:07:10.940 And, again, how do you explain the wild coincidence that all those things happened?
01:07:17.180 This is Glenn Beck.
01:07:20.000 Every time there is a crisis that hits Israel, the world pays attention for a while.
01:07:26.160 Headlines pop up, politicians post their statements, and then the cameras move on.
01:07:31.560 They usually move on to Hamas going, you know, they're misunderstood when they were raping and setting those children on fire.
01:07:38.180 Anyway, the hurt, the need, that doesn't disappear just because the news cycle does.
01:07:43.080 Did you see the hostage video that was released yesterday?
01:07:46.340 Holy cow.
01:07:46.900 When a family's home is destroyed, they still need a place to sleep.
01:07:51.100 When an elderly man loses access to food or medicine, he still needs somebody to step in and help.
01:07:56.080 And that's where the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews comes in.
01:07:59.480 The fellowship has been long on the ground for decades, bringing hope to Israel's most vulnerable populations,
01:08:05.080 the orphans, the Holocaust survivors, the families living in poverty or trauma.
01:08:09.280 And they are able to respond immediately in times of war, rocket attacks, and unrest because they're already,
01:08:14.900 they're already doing the work.
01:08:16.460 And they do that because of you.

01:08:43.960 We have Vivek Brahmaswamy coming up in just a minute.
01:09:12.660 Alert me when we get him on the phone, will you, Sarah?
01:09:16.340 He's running for governor.
01:09:18.280 And he was, you know, he was born and raised in Cincinnati.
01:09:21.580 And I really, I really want to know, you know, what is the deal with this Cincinnati?
01:09:28.100 What is happening?
01:09:28.980 And is there any evidence that we don't have all of the picture?
01:09:34.220 Because I got to believe if that was happening, you know, people thrown around the N-word,
01:09:39.120 and I can see that happening.
01:09:40.400 I'm not denying that that could happen.
01:09:42.240 Thrown around the N-word and just, you know, they're just, everybody's being pigs.
01:09:47.300 You know, I could see that.
01:09:48.420 But I would think we would know about that.
01:09:50.560 And I'm reading stuff about, you know, well, Ohio has a bad history of race relations.
01:09:56.020 Well, you know what?
01:09:56.640 If you want to go back, because I'm blamed for slavery back in the old-timey days, if
01:10:01.560 you want to play that game, I'll play that on the opposite end.
01:10:05.340 Ohio was a central stop on the Underground Railroad.
01:10:10.480 Tens of thousands of people.
01:10:12.140 I think Tubman even was sending people up through Ohio.
01:10:14.920 So it was key to the Underground Railroad.
01:10:21.100 So, you know, it might have bad race relations right now, but historically speaking, Ohio played
01:10:27.940 a very important role in the end of slavery and race relations.
01:10:34.440 Vivek is on the phone with us now.
01:10:36.080 Hi, Vivek.
01:10:36.580 How are you?
01:10:37.980 Glenn, how are you doing?
01:10:39.240 I'm great.
01:10:40.020 I'm great.
01:10:40.500 You know, you were born in Cincinnati, and, you know, you're following this because you're
01:10:46.880 running for governor.
01:10:48.380 By the way, I hear you're doing really well, and I'm happy to hear that.
01:10:52.240 Thank you.
01:10:52.980 I see the city councilwoman.
01:10:55.900 I see the police chief saying, well, you don't know all the facts.
01:11:02.360 And I might not know all the facts.
01:11:04.500 And even if there are more facts, it doesn't justify what we saw.
01:11:07.840 But have you seen any other facts that the public doesn't know about on this beatdown?
01:11:16.500 Glenn, I think that the basic point is common sense.
01:11:19.900 We should not have everyday hardworking Americans who are afraid to go into their cities, particularly
01:11:26.300 a city like Cincinnati, for fear of being beaten up, for fear of assault, for fear of
01:11:31.480 battery.
01:11:31.760 And I did speak to the victim, Holly, who was assaulted.
01:11:36.500 I spoke to her on Monday.
01:11:37.960 At the time I had spoken to her, one of the things that surprised me is that she said not
01:11:41.420 a single state or local official had even reached out to her at that point in time.
01:11:45.740 And that was on Monday after the Friday night of the incident, which was remarkable.
01:11:50.780 And I reached out because we wanted to be helpful in any way.
01:11:53.380 I mean, I saw she had some neck injuries.
01:11:54.980 My wife, Apoorva, is one of the top throat surgeons in the country here in Ohio.
01:11:58.580 So we want to see how we could help.
01:12:00.280 But I was surprised that, frankly, not a single public official at the city level or the state
01:12:05.920 level had even reached out.
01:12:08.160 And I can see why, in part, because there is a culture of fear around these issues relating
01:12:14.420 to violence and urban crime in particular.
01:12:17.940 In Cincinnati, so I grew up there, as you said, I was born and raised in Cincinnati, lived my
01:12:22.600 first 18 years of my life there, went to public schools through eighth grade, public schools
01:12:27.780 where there was frequently, you know, fights and stuff breaking out.
01:12:30.120 I went to a Catholic high school for high school after that.
01:12:33.400 And I will tell you, a number of the people I went to school with, grade school, high school,
01:12:38.100 who still live in Cincinnati, I live in Columbus now, but they're in Cincinnati, reach out and
01:12:42.300 said, thank you for saying something about this, because we've noticed this issue.
01:12:46.180 There is a culture of fear in our city.
01:12:48.700 There's also fear of people being able to go to the city without the risk of violent crime.
01:12:53.120 I think the risk for the stats right now, sadly, are one in 137 is your chance of being
01:12:59.700 a victim of violent crime in Cincinnati.
01:13:01.600 So my view is, I don't care what Democrat or Republican party you're in.
01:13:05.600 I don't care what your skin color is.
01:13:07.640 We ought to be united around the issue of fighting violent crime in our cities.
01:13:12.560 And this is, in part, directly the result.
01:13:15.300 I'm sorry to say it, Glenn, but it's true.
01:13:16.640 It is directly the result of this defund the police, the anti-cop, the anti-rule-of-law
01:13:23.220 culture that's spread across our country.
01:13:26.260 And I want to be a governor who's able to speak that truth in a manner that unites people,
01:13:31.200 not divides people, but doesn't hide from that truth or sweep it under the rug either,
01:13:36.000 because I do think that's what's going to be required to address the problem.
01:13:38.580 You know, as a whole society, we also have to start striving to be above animals.
01:13:42.540 Uh, I mean, you know, I, I, I watched this and it was like watching fifth graders, you
01:13:47.340 know, everybody's standing around a fight and everybody's like, fight, fight, fight.
01:13:51.480 Um, I mean, you're not, you're not in fifth grade anymore.
01:13:55.260 Um, I didn't see anybody, and this is what a civil society would do.
01:13:59.420 I didn't really see anybody step in and go, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey guys, back off, back up.
01:14:03.720 What I saw were people that were cheering it on or not involved suddenly jumping in and getting
01:14:10.680 involved, which was terrifying when, when, when, uh, the female went down, I thought they killed
01:14:18.200 her.
01:14:18.660 I mean, she, her eyes were open.
01:14:20.700 She was out cold.
01:14:22.560 Uh, that was a dangerous situation.
01:14:25.640 I've talked to her several times in the last week, Glenn, and it is very sad.
01:14:29.960 She's a working mom.
01:14:31.200 She's a single mother.
01:14:32.540 And she's somebody who on a rare occasion went to the city to have a good time for some,
01:14:36.720 for a friend's birthday party.
01:14:37.760 I think it's unconscionable that not only after she was knocked out, she wasn't even
01:14:43.120 able to take an ambulance.
01:14:45.180 She had to call her own Uber to get out of there at that situation of risk.
01:14:48.980 And I just think that we have to think about ways we have to improve the way we're doing
01:14:54.040 things.
01:14:54.740 What do you mean?
01:14:55.360 She couldn't take an ambulance.
01:14:57.140 Well, there wasn't an ambulance.
01:14:58.180 She'd called an Uber.
01:14:59.340 And so this is, this is, this is the kind of thing that's just sad.
01:15:03.440 And I do think we ought to have an open conversation about, first of all, there's reports now that
01:15:09.040 one of the assailants was let out on bond for a different crime or offense alleged earlier
01:15:17.060 this month.
01:15:17.960 So in the month of July, earlier that same month was out on bond with somebody who previously
01:15:23.400 was, was convicted of other crimes.
01:15:26.880 And so we got to rethink some of the breakages in our judicial system.
01:15:30.460 We got to rethink what it means to have more of a law enforcement presence on our streets,
01:15:34.700 at least in predictable hours of when there's a baseball game going on, when there's a national
01:15:38.980 music concert on a Friday night in certain areas of urban parts of our cities.
01:15:43.900 Does it mean that we deter crime by having just a greater law enforcement presence?
01:15:47.940 And I think we got to have that conversation in the open.
01:15:49.820 And I say this as somebody, Glenn, who'll be the first person to not only recognize,
01:15:53.520 but shout from the foothills, there are so many good men and women working very hard,
01:15:58.020 men and women in blue in the Cincinnati Police Department, who I respect deeply for their
01:16:02.080 service.
01:16:02.820 It's not their individual fault by any stretch.
01:16:05.480 And anybody who says so misses the point.
01:16:07.660 But the point is, what kind of leadership do we bring to a city, to a state, to say that
01:16:12.040 we do stand for not defunding the police, but funding the police, that we stand for allowing
01:16:17.740 them to do their jobs with that fear of looking over their shoulder for being sued, and also
01:16:22.140 to be able to have a judicial system and necessary reforms that don't just send violent criminals
01:16:27.640 right back onto the street.
01:16:29.640 This is common sense stuff, right?
01:16:31.300 This is not left.
01:16:32.160 This shouldn't be at least left versus right stuff, right?
01:16:34.540 This is common sense.
01:16:36.020 And that's why I'm running for governor.
01:16:37.700 I do think that we have had too many politicians who have tried to sweep these issues under the
01:16:42.320 rug for too long.
01:16:43.540 I'm going to Cincinnati actually on Monday, Glenn.
01:16:46.160 Part of my point is I want to practice what we preach.
01:16:48.500 I called a friend of mine who is a former NAACP Cincinnati chapter president, a former
01:16:54.200 vice mayor of the city, who actually has been quite thoughtful on a lot of these issues as
01:16:58.600 well.
01:16:59.320 We're going to co-host a town hall.
01:17:00.820 Anybody come.
01:17:01.560 If you disagree with my politics, that's fine.
01:17:03.240 You could show up.
01:17:03.860 But we're going to have a conversation about how we crush crime in my hometown of Cincinnati
01:17:07.440 and how we crush crime in cities across our state.
01:17:10.200 And I hope Ohio sits a model nationwide for putting an end to this epidemic of lawlessness
01:17:16.120 and violence and do it in a way that brings us together through open dialogue.
01:17:20.280 That's what I favor.
01:17:21.060 And so that's the kind of leader I'm hoping to be for our state.
01:17:23.760 That's why I'm in this.
01:17:24.800 And, you know, hopefully we're going to succeed.
01:17:27.240 I hope that does succeed because Cincinnati is a great town, just a great, great town.
01:17:33.280 It is.
01:17:33.620 And I wouldn't go into Cincinnati now.
01:17:35.760 I wouldn't.
01:17:36.480 Tell me, and you know, one of the reasons why I wouldn't is not just because of what
01:17:40.220 I saw in this video, but the reaction from one of the city council members, from the police
01:17:46.280 chief, your governor, what do you say to that police chief?
01:17:51.440 Look, I've had conversations with all of these folks, you know, one-on-one or not all
01:17:55.700 of them, but many of them.
01:17:57.300 And look, I want to be a leader who's bringing together people across the state, whether they
01:18:00.700 like me or not, right?
01:18:01.900 Whether they agree with my politics or not.
01:18:03.660 But what I will say is this, it is time for a new generation of leadership that speaks
01:18:09.080 hard truth, that speaks with a spine.
01:18:11.500 As it relates to law enforcement, we need critical out-of-the-box solutions.
01:18:16.100 I mean, you think about even in the 90s, you know, Clinton and Gingrich back then talked
01:18:20.040 about the idea of equipping localities with cops to deter violence and then leaving it to
01:18:25.640 localities after that.
01:18:27.140 Well, at the state level, should we be thinking about similar solutions?
01:18:29.640 I think we ought to at least have a conversation about it.
01:18:31.340 Thinking about bail reforms, at least in common sense ways, that we're not sending back violent
01:18:36.220 criminals right back into the street to be a repeat offender when we know that's a high
01:18:40.380 risk to the rest of ordinary law-abiding Americans trying to have a good time in the cities where
01:18:46.640 they live.
01:18:47.700 So I think these are issues where you do have a lot of leaders, including governors, including
01:18:52.360 mayors, who try to sweep these issues under the rug, hope they go away.
01:18:56.040 That's not a strategy.
01:18:56.840 In fact, it causes frustration to fester.
01:18:59.940 And when people have frustrations that they don't feel free to talk about, that's when
01:19:03.940 actually bad things happen.
01:19:05.260 That's what actually spurns social division.
01:19:08.000 And I think true cohesion comes from being able to confront these issues head on.
01:19:12.680 And so that town hall in Cincinnati, I don't know how it's going to go.
01:19:14.520 I hope it goes well.
01:19:15.400 But it's on Monday evening.
01:19:18.060 But I think that, you know, I did one of these in Springfield last year.
01:19:21.200 Remember Springfield when it was in Ohio as well, the theme of national news.
01:19:25.460 So does Ohio have a bad history of race relations?
01:19:30.720 You know, it's not that Ohio has a...
01:19:33.240 I mean, you brought up a great point.
01:19:34.620 You think about Ohio, we're at the end of the Underground Railroad.
01:19:36.540 Cincinnati was the final destination.
01:19:38.620 So you think about the long enough course of history, Ohio was part of the emancipation
01:19:42.840 movement in the United States of America.
01:19:45.580 So have there been issues over time?
01:19:47.580 Sure.
01:19:47.740 You go back to the early 2000s, there were racially charged riots in the city.
01:19:52.160 The National Guard had to come out this back when I was in high school, etched into my
01:19:55.160 brain.
01:19:55.900 But that's true in different places across the country.
01:19:58.860 I think Ohio is a great place actually to embody the best of what our country is about.
01:20:02.660 You know, you go to Cincinnati, you go to Columbus, you draw a cross, you draw a circle
01:20:05.720 around it.
01:20:06.500 You got a cross section of the country.
01:20:08.140 And more than California or New York, or even I may say, Glenn, even more than Texas or Florida.
01:20:13.020 The beautiful thing about Ohio is that we're a cross section of the entire United States.
01:20:17.320 So if we're going to get these issues right for the country, Ohio ought to be ground zero for
01:20:20.600 fixing it. And I think that's what, on the positive side, I wouldn't call it a particular
01:20:25.000 history of trouble, but I think we are a part of the country that's diverse enough, that's
01:20:29.960 in every sense, that you see a lot of these things bubbling up in Ohio, we've got to fix
01:20:34.200 them first in Ohio.
01:20:35.180 I have to tell you, I, you know, you would have talked to me 30 years ago, and you would
01:20:40.520 have said, this guy has a particular history of alcoholism and hard to work with, and yada,
01:20:47.260 yada. I'm not that guy. You just have to choose. And an inspiring leader, DeSantis is
01:20:55.420 one here in Florida, an inspiring leader, somebody who just says, no, we're going in
01:21:00.500 a different direction. People want to be safe. They want to, I don't care what color
01:21:06.700 you are, what, you know, income bracket you're in. You want to be safe. You want your family
01:21:11.880 to be safe, your children to be able, you want to be able to go into town and, and,
01:21:16.560 you know, have a nice night. You don't want to feel all of this stuff and you don't want
01:21:21.540 to have bad race relations. I mean, some do, but I think a very, very small number do.
01:21:26.920 And, you know, you can change things, you know, if you're leading by example, but it's
01:21:33.640 going to be hard because there's a lot of people that have power that don't want to fix
01:21:38.600 these, I'm convinced of it. They don't want to fix these problems.
01:21:43.060 Well, that's why I'm in this, Glenn, is that I think if yesterday's politician was going
01:21:46.760 to fix it, it would have happened already. But I think it's going to take a new generation
01:21:50.080 that says, I'm not even making this about Republican versus Democrat politics. You know,
01:21:53.920 I mean, is there a dimension to it? We could, sure. But forget about that. Common sense,
01:21:57.740 right? Should you follow the law? Should you be able to enjoy your cities without fear
01:22:01.080 of getting beaten up or assaulted? Should you be able to speak your mind freely in the
01:22:05.380 open, without fear of government retribution? These are the basic tenets of just what it
01:22:11.080 means to be an American, to live in the best country known to the history of mankind. That's
01:22:15.460 what it means to be an American. I think it's the birthright of every American to live those
01:22:19.240 basic aspects of the American dream. And I want to at least revive the Ohio dream and the
01:22:24.520 version of that in the heart of the country that represents the country. And you're right,
01:22:28.780 people are hungry to be led. At this point, you know, it's easy to just tell your followers
01:22:33.320 the same thing they want to hear. And it's easy to just preach, you know, and lambast,
01:22:37.920 you know, the other side. I'm not doing that. What I want to do is I want to speak truth.
01:22:41.840 And there are a lot of people in the inner city of Cincinnati who are every bit as worried about
01:22:45.980 this epidemic of crime that might have voted Democrat in the past that still don't feel safe.
01:22:50.220 And the fact of the matter is, we have an opportunity to bring them into our tent and
01:22:53.000 our coalition as well. That's what I'm working to do. And I think it's basic common sense,
01:22:58.020 safety, a good education, the economic mobility and the right to speak freely. These are your
01:23:04.560 birthrights as Americans. And that's what we're going to fight for and revive here in the state
01:23:08.260 of Ohio. Well, I have to tell you, Vivek, thank you. And, you know, if you've listened to me for a
01:23:14.540 long time, I don't endorse people. But I also don't lie to you and tell you, you know, something.
01:23:20.580 I don't pretend to be neutral when I'm not. If I lived in Ohio, I would be voting for Vivek. I think
01:23:25.640 he is dynamic and part of a very bright future. Vivekforohio.com is his address where you can go
01:23:35.660 find out more about his candidacy and maybe help him out as well. Vivek, I'd love to talk to you next
01:23:40.080 week after you have had this meeting to see how it went. Yeah, I'll tell you what we learned.
01:23:45.600 Take care. Thank you very much. Vivek Ramaswamy, Ohio Gubernatorial Camp.
01:23:49.360 Okay, let's see. Let me tell you about our sponsor. It's Rough Greens. The most honest
01:23:56.280 member of the household really is your dog. I mean, he's on it. Can I tell you something?
01:24:01.040 He's the only one in the household that doesn't try to hide the fart or blame it on somebody else.
01:24:05.080 I'm just saying they're honest. And my dog has always told me how he feels about the food
01:24:11.920 because Uno just would not eat. Never. Would never eat. I mean, it was a nightmare. Mealtime for him at
01:24:20.400 night was always the same. Whose turn is it to feed the dog? No, it's not my turn because you had
01:24:25.380 to stay there with him and not move. You had to trick him into eating. It was crazy. You know,
01:24:31.560 you'd be lucky if you got the sideway glance when you poured that stuff into it. And it was good food.
01:24:36.020 It wasn't though for him. Even the best kibble food, everything is cooked out of it. It's dead
01:24:43.880 food. Okay. It's processed, stripped of the real ingredients and sitting in a bag for God only
01:24:49.280 knows how long. By law, it has to be able to sit in that bag and not go bad for two years. Would you
01:24:54.560 feed that to your kids? Get a free jumpstart trial bag for your dog today. It's not food. It's what you

01:25:14.780 More Glenn Beck coming up next.
01:25:30.140 So we've had some really good news about the GDP growth this week, and we had a disastrous job
01:25:44.080 report come out today. They have just revised the last two months, and we are down in jobs. And
01:25:53.940 uh, to me, this is not, uh, well, I don't want to say this in just a sentence or two. Uh, next
01:26:03.860 hour, we're going to start with the job report and talk to you about what I, what I think the
01:26:08.820 truth is that nobody on any side in business or politics is willing to say, I'm just dumb enough
01:26:16.340 to say it. We'll do that when we come back. It's Friday. This is Glenn Beck.
01:26:37.060 Final hour of the, uh, week, Stu. Uh, what do we have to talk about? I, you know, I really want to
01:26:43.380 talk about the, the job market, um, and the future here. We have to do that. What else have we missed
01:26:49.900 today that we have to hit? Well, uh, today's a liberation day, part two also, uh, kind of ties
01:26:55.540 into that conversation. Um, liberation day, part two. Yeah. That's all the tariffs and stuff. Uh,
01:27:02.440 today's August 1st. Um, now the way they introduced those, we can go into this as well, is that actually
01:27:07.780 they're not going to kick into August 7th. And then a lot of the stuff that is going to be hit
01:27:13.100 won't actually be hit until October. Um, so, uh, you know, you know, the, the markets are reacting
01:27:20.800 negatively, but like, you know, not catastrophically, uh, to, uh, not what everybody has been predicting.
01:27:27.940 Uh, yeah. I mean, I, I don't know that I would agree with that. Exactly. Uh, I think it's, it's,
01:27:33.080 you know, I think it's, I think it's somewhat appropriate, honestly, to the level that we're
01:27:37.480 talking about where, you know, we're, we're talking about higher tariffs, but again, tariffs are a
01:27:41.300 small part, you know, importing goods is a small part of our economy. Um, so it could affect that
01:27:47.280 part, but well, hopefully the echoes aren't too large. Okay. More in a minute.
01:28:11.300 Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side, stand your ground when times get tired, gotta face the dog and embrace the fire.
01:28:41.280 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:28:52.880 Hello America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. It is Friday. Uh, we had some good news about the GDP this week up 3%. That's really good news. We had some, I think, bad news. The, uh, the Fed did not lower interest rates. So it's harder, uh, for the average
01:29:11.140 American and harder on our debt. Um, but then we had some good news. Uh, the dollar is the strongest it's been in years, which is kind of shocking. Uh, and then today we had some bad news about the job numbers. Uh,
01:29:27.360 and I want to, I want to focus on that here for a second, because I think a conversation has to be had that I'm not hearing anywhere. Uh, and it, it's, it's very logical. And one that I think you'll agree with
01:29:41.360 me, we need to discuss some things right now. We'll talk about that here in just a second. First, let me tell you about a real estate
01:29:47.580 agents. I trust moving is really, really hard. I know because I'm doing that this week. My wife and I are picking up our lives and headed up to
01:29:56.360 Florida. My older kids are moving, uh, to upstate New York and other kids are moving out to college. It's been
01:30:04.380 crazy, crazy. I had, uh, I have an unbelievable real estate agent here and she happens to be part of the
01:30:12.720 real estate agents I trust network. Um, but, uh, Lisa true has been helping me, uh, for like two years, you know,
01:30:22.240 we'd be coming out here and we're like, nah, let's just look. She listened to us. She listened to us and knew
01:30:27.540 exactly what we were looking for. And you know, it took us a while, but once it, once she, she sent us
01:30:34.120 something and she's like, I think this is it. And she was absolutely right. And she has made it a dream
01:30:38.900 to be able to pull everything off. It's, I mean, it's when you buy and sell a house, it's complicated.
01:30:43.460 You know that. And if you have a wrong real estate agent, it sucks. It just sucks. Um, so don't live through
01:30:51.000 that nightmare. Get a great real estate agent from realestateagentsitrust.com. It's a free service
01:30:57.000 to you. Um, but it is, uh, you know, we've been vetting these people for a long, long time. We

01:31:17.920 things a lot easier. Realestateagentsitrust.com. All right, Stu, go over the jobs report. It just
01:31:23.160 came out today. Yeah. They showed a gain of 73,000 jobs. Uh, this is not a particularly good
01:31:29.440 number. Um, no, I think you could look at it and say, when you examine it a little closer,
01:31:36.200 it does show some pretty strange things. Um, first of all, it seems almost all of the job
01:31:43.380 gains are coming from the healthcare industry. Um, and, uh, that is consistent over several
01:31:50.040 months. In fact, there's a, there's a chart that shows the six month change, uh, of employment
01:31:54.840 and like all, most of the lines are either flat or slightly negative. Um, there's a couple
01:32:01.860 industries that have slight growth, uh, financial activities, leisure and hospitality. Um, but
01:32:08.100 over, well, I mean, it's almost like one of those old COVID charts with jobs where like, you just
01:32:13.780 see like all these little lines and then there's just a giant line that go, you know, careens off
01:32:17.960 the screen, almost, uh, private education and health services are the, are the industries that
01:32:23.180 are showing are almost all the growth, uh, in the United States right now. I'm so glad to hear that
01:32:29.240 about private education. Um, I mean, it shows that we are actively engaging in something that we know
01:32:36.640 has failed us, uh, and we are, we're changing our lives, uh, as a people. I think that's good.
01:32:42.920 The other thing, um, healthcare, I would love to know, um, what parts of healthcare is that insurance
01:32:51.100 or is that like doctors and nurses? Uh, do you have any idea? I don't have the breakdown of that,
01:32:59.020 uh, in front of me. I can look for it though. It's probably in this data. I'm just kind of
01:33:02.880 scanning, scanning through a bunch of the data. Um, it does show, uh, without healthcare jobs,
01:33:07.860 we've as a nation of lost jobs overall for three straight months. Um, part of this was a major
01:33:15.240 revision, uh, to the data, which showed a loss of 255,000 jobs from the two previous months that
01:33:23.700 had already been reported. So a major net is wrong with this. Why can't they get this right?
01:33:27.760 This is not that hard. This was happening, you know, all the last four years, much worse than
01:33:33.660 that. And now it's, it's happening again with this. You're talking about just revisions.
01:33:37.880 Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, there's always been revisions. It does seem to be, uh, yeah, bigger
01:33:43.060 late, late, late. Um, you know, so you, you look at all that and I, you know, this is a largely
01:33:48.560 just, you know, discouraging report, I would say overall. Um, but, uh, you know, we're seeing
01:33:54.920 in like the, some of the prediction markets, uh, you know, odds for a recession are going
01:33:59.780 up. However, what we're talking about as far as where they result result is like 15 to
01:34:05.340 20% is what people are saying is a chance for a recession. So it's not like, again, a
01:34:10.980 lot of times I think this stuff gets blown out of proportion and everybody's catastrophic
01:34:14.160 or incredibly jubilant, right? Like, Oh gosh, everything's working. You know, we shut up all
01:34:19.600 these economists, they were all wrong. I think what we're seeing now is it's probably too
01:34:23.240 early to take a victory lap or, you know, jump off a building.
01:34:26.480 Doom parade. You know, I, I have to tell you, I, uh, I think we should take a moment
01:34:31.300 here and recognize, do you remember what the economy was like, uh, you know, six months
01:34:36.540 ago, a year ago, everything was trending in the wrong direction. Everything was trending
01:34:41.180 in the wrong direction for us not to be in a recession at this point, I think is, uh, is
01:34:47.180 pretty remarkable, especially with the amount of changes that Donald Trump is making.
01:34:53.240 Some of the fundamental structures of America, you know, look at, look at the job numbers
01:34:58.560 and then the numbers of the people he has fired from government. When you're talking
01:35:03.200 about reducing, for instance, the department of education by 50%, that is going to affect
01:35:09.520 your job numbers. It's going to.
01:35:11.360 Yeah. And that's, it's important to note as well. And that is in the data, the government
01:35:15.320 jobs are down. Um, again, not to a point where it would outweigh some of the other stuff
01:35:20.900 we're talking about, but it is, it is down. We expect there to be more of that, um, coming.
01:35:27.580 Um, and you know, I think you can, you can look at that and, and I think it is an important
01:35:32.320 factor. It doesn't necessarily overwhelm the fact that these, these reports for jobs have
01:35:36.660 not been positive, you know, it doesn't over. Well, not because, you know, again, to me
01:35:40.500 and you, you know, government jobs going away is a necessary thing. Um, it might hurt the
01:35:47.500 job number reports for a few months, but like Carol Roth has been saying for months, got
01:35:51.840 to be careful. Don't want to move too fast on that.
01:35:54.040 Yeah. You don't want to be. Yep. And I think you got to be careful, but I don't, I don't
01:35:56.740 look at, I look at that as a situation that is needed. Um, and I think Donald Trump does
01:36:01.560 as well. So I don't look at that and say, okay, well that's a, you know, I'm going to sit
01:36:06.220 here and cry about government jobs going away and it'll take time for people who've
01:36:10.120 lost those government jobs to find their way in a, you know, in another industry. Um,
01:36:14.600 uh, but it is an important part to, to note that that is, you know, a chunk of this picture.
01:36:21.420 So here's what I would really like to, I'd like to try to reframe this in your mind as
01:36:27.280 a listener. Um, if I can, we have got to stop looking at everything through the lens of
01:36:36.120 the glasses that we have always used our entire life, my entire life. You can look at the job
01:36:42.840 numbers and you can say, well, it's this or this, and we have to fix this. And this is growth. And
01:36:46.660 this, this is not, and you know, here's the growth industry. Honestly, we don't know what tomorrow
01:36:52.080 holds anymore because of AI, because of this, this AI revolution that we are on the verge of. And,
01:37:00.160 and I, I've, I've told you this for years, but maybe it will start to make sense to you.
01:37:04.880 Between now and 2030, that's four years now in 2030, there will be as much change to, uh, business and
01:37:18.960 life itself as there has been for the last 400 years. So from the moment of the enlightenment
01:37:27.780 until today, that amount of change is coming in the next four to five years. And that's so huge.
01:37:36.920 It's hard to believe or get your arms around, but that is true. So when we look at jobs, I mean,
01:37:43.840 you know, if I were looking short term and I'm 20 and I'm like, okay, what do I do? I learned how to
01:37:49.780 weld. I learned how to build. I learned how to get involved in building power plants and server farms,
01:37:57.320 because I know that's an industry that is going to grow in the next five to 10 years. It's going to
01:38:03.980 be nonstop growth. Um, and AI is not going to be able to take over an actual build yet, maybe in the
01:38:12.220 10 years, maybe, but not right away. So it's going to take labor. If I'm looking to do something in
01:38:18.900 labor, that's the kind of labor I'm, I'm looking at. Um, you know, but when, when you're going to
01:38:25.580 school, what do you go to school for healthcare? And, and I, I'm telling you, I, being a doctor
01:38:35.120 is getting harder and harder. You don't necessarily, you know, make the kind of money that you used to
01:38:40.460 because you've got this gigantic bill you're paying off. Um, and it's very frustrating. And I believe
01:38:47.420 in within 10 years, I think easy in 10 years, um, there's going to be so much growth on AI that you,
01:38:55.860 your job as a doctor will be more of handholding, um, than anything else. I mean, you still for a while
01:39:03.480 we'll, we'll be doing surgery, but if you're a doctor, you should be doing robotic surgery right
01:39:07.860 now. You should be looking, you should be leading, uh, the movement in robotic surgery, um, to be able
01:39:14.860 to, um, do what you do faster and better and using new technology, um, in, in healthcare. I think the,
01:39:25.680 I think the growth, and I could be wrong. I don't know anything about healthcare. Just,
01:39:28.940 just trying to understand, let me say it this way. What is the biggest problem our kids are
01:39:37.840 dealing with right now? They're dealing with nothing having meaning and they're dealing with
01:39:45.660 the, whether they know it or not, they're dealing with these problems because they are, they don't
01:39:51.540 have real human connection anymore. Okay. They're talking to each other all the time, but it's all
01:39:59.720 on, you know, it's, it's all on text. They're not relating. And when you're sick, there comes a time
01:40:08.320 that you're going to need human interaction and you're going to be monitored by all kinds of AI
01:40:12.980 devices and everything else. And you're in the hospital, whatever. You may not have a lot of nurses
01:40:18.200 because AI will be doing all of the, the grunt work, if you will. Um, but there's going to come
01:40:25.040 a time where nurses are so important because they're your human connection. You need to look
01:40:30.260 somebody in the eye who's human that can hold your hand. Um, the, the empathetic things are going to be,
01:40:40.440 uh, growth industry. And I'm not sure I even know what this is. I'm just thinking about these things,
01:40:46.120 uh, out loud. Um, but sending your kid into college right now to be an accountant.
01:40:56.500 Again, this is not my area of expertise, so take it for what it's worth, but I would reconsider
01:41:03.380 if you're going in for law, I would reconsider, um, already, you know, the law clerks that those jobs
01:41:12.000 are gone, those jobs are gone or quickly going away because you can get AI to do so much. Um,
01:41:20.780 you're going to need somebody to argue cases, but you're not going to need somebody that needs to go
01:41:26.400 through, you know, uh, go through all of the records, all of the law check, you know, can you read this
01:41:34.680 contract and check this contract to make sure it's right. AI is already doing most of that. You know,
01:41:40.300 you just don't necessarily know that, but the attorneys do you're going to school. And in this
01:41:46.240 time, it might be better until we know what's coming to focus on trade, uh, to focus on trade
01:41:58.260 schools, for instance, you know, building welding, uh, healthcare, um, things that you can do,
01:42:05.560 uh, even temporarily, um, or honestly things that make you more empathetic, um, instead of building
01:42:15.340 debt for a world where you just don't know what's going to be, I mean, honestly, accounting it's,
01:42:24.040 it's machine's going to do it. A machine is going to do it. Um, it's just the way it is. You're going
01:42:29.900 to need the personal interface, but the, this large pool is not going to be needed and everything is
01:42:38.760 going to change. So when you're looking at these job numbers, what we should be talking about is
01:42:44.160 that these, these numbers may actually be good looking back three years from now. And let me
01:42:53.860 explain that when we come back first, let me tell you about our sponsor of this half hour. It's Lear
01:42:58.040 capital. I got to tell you, Lear capital. Hmm. Uh, this a number you should call, this is a number
01:43:05.180 you should, you should call your groceries. You know, one day your groceries cost $120 the next
01:43:10.680 time, you know, all of a sudden you're paying $400 and you're like, wait, did I just accidentally
01:43:16.880 buy a flat screen TV here? I thought I got eggs. Um, the dollar is buying less and less people in
01:43:23.520 charge seem more interested in playing politics and protecting your savings. And they go,
01:43:28.040 spending more and more of our money. Uh, and the world is about to change in a time of great
01:43:33.840 flux. If you have, if you've saved money, make sure your retirement fund is not a hundred percent
01:43:42.340 exposed to wall street volatility. You know, that's not a strategy. That's hope and a prayer
01:43:47.340 you gold and silver, please diversify call Lear capital. Look at, you know, 10% of what you have
01:43:55.520 saved over your lifetime and put it into something stable like gold or silver. They'll make it Lear
01:44:00.340 capital. The whole process easy from start to finish. Just call them today. 800-957 gold to get
01:44:06.520 your free $4,200 gold report. When I first started talking about that just a couple of years ago,
01:44:11.540 it gold was less than $2,000. It was barely breaking, uh, $2,000. And everybody said that was
01:44:18.240 crazy. We're at like $3,400 now. 4,200 is going to be history soon. Call 800-957 gold. Ask about
01:44:27.220 getting up to $15,000 in free gold or silver with a qualifying purchase. Call 800-957 gold,
01:44:33.100 800-957 gold. It's Lear capital. Do it now. 10 seconds.
01:44:37.440 So when I say we're going to look back and say these jobs, uh, you know, these job numbers
01:44:53.860 were a dream come true. What I mean is as AI, um, becomes stronger and stronger, there are going to
01:45:01.360 be other jobs. I don't know what they are yet. There are going to be other jobs that grow that we may not
01:45:06.100 be thinking about right now. That's why I wouldn't, I wouldn't rack up debt to go into accounting or
01:45:11.160 law. Um, but, um, be careful with your debt because those jobs may be gone. Other jobs will be created,
01:45:18.720 but there's going to be this massive overturn of jobs, uh, and lots of job losses, uh, coming.
01:45:27.400 If you're going, what we should be teaching our kids right now is not,
01:45:32.160 you know, our entire education system is built on. This is going to be on the test.
01:45:40.900 Hey, write this down because this is going to be on the test. Why are tests so important right now?
01:45:47.060 Why, why is that memorization stuff of dates and names so important? Because this system was created
01:45:54.280 to get you to follow rules. Can you follow rules? Can you do what you're asked to do? This is going
01:46:02.720 to be on the test. Write this down and remember this. Okay. It's not taught to teach you to think
01:46:09.900 outside of the box. It's teaching you to remain in the box. All right. That is, that was important in
01:46:17.740 1950, 1970, even maybe 1990. It was important that you could assemble a car, that you could stand in
01:46:26.480 line, you could do these things. Okay. But that's not what's going to be important in the very near
01:46:32.740 future. We're not talking 20 years down the road. We're talking five and 10 years down the road. What's
01:46:38.280 important is not what to think, but how to think, how to think. They were teaching us how to get a job,
01:46:48.780 how to work in these industries. You need to teach your kids now and they need to be learning and you
01:46:55.360 need to learn how to think, how to question, because this system that we have built is built for an old
01:47:03.100 era. We're, we're in a, we're in a time period. Think of, think of what it was like between 1850
01:47:11.560 and 1930. That's the span of somebody's lifetime. Think about what they saw. My father said to me,
01:47:17.580 you know, he was born in 1926. Glenn, when I was growing up, we never thought about going to the
01:47:22.920 moon. That wasn't even a possibility. And he said, now we're on the moon, we're in space, we have
01:47:27.500 computers. Think of that. That's the kind of stuff that is going to happen in five years. You will go
01:47:36.380 from that kind of change that happened over the lifespan of my father. This is going to happen
01:47:41.620 in really the time your kids are going to go to school or graduate school. It'll all be different
01:47:47.360 and it will continue to change. We have to have the conversations of no debt, no debt, not for
01:47:54.900 education. Stay out of debt. Do you have any usable skills? Can you fix things yourself without
01:48:05.680 having to get somebody else to do it? You know, you, you look at some of the things that is happening
01:48:11.660 with generation X, they are teaching themselves by using YouTube. They're teaching themselves how to
01:48:17.540 fix a sink, how to do different things. And they're doing it really kind of out of entertainment in a way.
01:48:22.860 A lot of them are just watching and you're like, you don't have a sink. You don't own a sink. What
01:48:26.600 are you doing? I don't know. I just find this fascinating. I think that's because there is a
01:48:31.680 call now to real things and real work and doing things with your own hands, usable skills, usable
01:48:39.800 skills, critical thinking. And the last thing that we should be encouraging our kids to explore and
01:48:47.120 learn is anything about meaning. Meaning is going to be, it's already crisis level. That's why our
01:48:59.460 kids are killing themselves. They don't have meaning in life. They don't, they don't know how to find
01:49:05.060 meaning. That has been a lifetime struggle for most of us, but it is a critical situation for our kids.
01:49:14.460 So no debt, usable skills, critical thinking and meaning. That's what we should focus on for the
01:49:21.820 future. This is Glenn Beck. All right, let me tell you about LifeLock. You ever get one of those
01:49:29.420 fraud alert emails that starts with, hello, valued customer, and then informs you about your bank of
01:49:35.480 such and such account has been compromised. Despite the fact that, you know, you've never had a bank
01:49:41.380 account in the bank of Scotland or whatever. Identity thieves are, are not valid, uh, valedictorians.
01:49:48.300 They're really not, uh, but they don't have to be. They just have to get lucky one time, misspell your
01:49:53.200 name, guess your password, catch you slacking with weak security questions. Like what's your dog's name?
01:49:59.380 Fluffy. By the way, the third most common answer in America is number one password one, two, three.
01:50:06.080 Okay. The internet is the wild west, except you've got a, uh, a six shooter. Uh, they have

01:51:02.040 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're here. Uh, there's lots of things, uh, going on. We still have to get to, I want to kind of continue our conversation that we were just having about, uh, you know, the economy and everything else. And, you know, Stu and I were just talking about trade.
01:51:32.040 And, you know, both of us are free trade people. Um, and, you know, so far, you know, things are going a lot better than all the experts said would go on. However, there's lots of reasons for that. We don't have to get into them now, but, um, uh, so I don't know if we've seen the impact. We've seen some good things, but have we seen any of the negative impact, uh, on it? We don't know because a lot of it doesn't come into play.
01:52:00.820 It's supposed to come into play today, but now it's been moved to what? August 7th.
01:52:05.800 Yeah. So the, yeah, the way they implemented these were, there was going to be August 1st. They're now going to be August 7th. And then, uh, but that doesn't cover, like, we should not still be seeing stuff.
01:52:16.680 A lot of products with the tariffs, um, that for at least a couple of months, because what they're saying is it's basically the actual deadline of when we're going to have all products that are going to be tariffed at these rates, assuming these policies, uh, stay consistent would be, I think, October 5th. So we were going to, there's going to be a couple more months here before these things really kick in.
01:52:35.500 So one of the reasons why he's doing this is, uh, you know, because of, you know, he feels that we need to be treated fairly. And, uh, and so he wants to, you know, put the kind of restrictions on, uh, them shipping stuff to us, uh, as they have had on for years.
01:52:53.340 I think he's going, uh, you know, a little further with some countries, uh, you know, India is one that I, I look at and go, gosh, uh, you know, India is a good friend and they're a huge, huge power and an offset for China. Let's not push India away. Um, but I, I, let me tell you a story about, I was just on the phone with the people at Burna, they're sponsors of the program.
01:53:19.460 Um, and, um, they make this Burna launcher. It's a great safe, uh, you know, self-defense, uh, gun really, except it's not a gun. It fires tear gas pellets at very high velocity and, you know, we'll save your children and your family and you from problems. But anyway, um, you know, they've always been made, or I shouldn't say that they've always been assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and they've been very proud of that.
01:53:45.840 Um, but they, you know, when they first started making these, you know, there's a lot of stuff that you just couldn't make in America. You, we, you couldn't get it from America. I remember when we started 1791, we could not get a good, out of all things, baseball hat made in America. That wasn't $55, you know, as a blank, you know? Uh, and so we'd have to go someplace else to get it.
01:54:14.420 Uh, and it drove me nuts. Now that is slowly changed, uh, over time, but there was a big change when it comes to COVID and between COVID when, when Burna, when COVID hit, they were like, okay, supply chains, this isn't good.
01:54:33.800 Cause we have, you know, all of these parts being made overseas. We can't complete anything if we don't have those, if we don't have the supply chain and company after company, after company figured that one out.
01:54:46.900 And then when Donald Trump also said, I want things made here in America, they, for one, and I think a lot of companies did this good companies did this, but Burna did this, they started saying, okay, we're, we have to find ways to make things here in America and find the people who will make these parts for us here in America.
01:55:05.020 Well, in the last few years, they're now 90% of everything in a Burna launcher is made here in America. That's pretty astonishing. Would it be great to be a hundred percent? Yes. And that's their goal.
01:55:17.220 But 90% is astonishing. Um, you know, look at, look at your truck, your Ford truck is 90% of it made here in America. Not a, not a chance in the world. And so there's two sides of this to, to do, to do trade, to balance things out, uh, you know, make sure that we're not getting screwed by other nations, et cetera, et cetera. Um, that's important. But when you look at India, I want to have really good relationship with India.
01:55:46.440 Um, just like I want a really good relationship with Canada as well. Canada, however, to me is more important than India is in one way. And that is I could try, I can drive a truck across the border. You know, the global supply chain isn't so bad when it's Mexico or, um, or Canada. And so, you know, anything we can do to bring things back into America to make them, you know, that's one of the arguments.
01:56:16.440 I mean, Stu and I were both talking about here off the air, you know, in the last hour was, you know, with everything changing so much, you know, creating things that are made here in America. And you know, how are you going to believe that jobs are going to be created here when you don't know how things are going to be made, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:56:32.440 But we must make things here in America, not, not just for the future for AI, et cetera, et cetera. But, uh, because the supply chain, we learned our lesson or did we?
01:56:47.500 Yeah, it's, it's, it's, it's interesting because I think one of the, the, the midpoints, like, cause there's a, there was an acknowledgement that building everything in America, first of all, it's never a good idea to have everything in one basket, right?
01:56:59.840 The North Korea does this. They have everything as much as possible made inside of their country. It can be a problem too. That's not.
01:57:07.960 Well, that's, that's still a communist country though.
01:57:10.420 No, I know. But like, it's an insular constant communist country. And, and so they want to keep everything inside the country. Like we've seen this with, we've had manufacturing problems here in the United States. We're not perfect. It's good to have alternative sources for things, right?
01:57:26.360 It's good. It's one thing that's competition. Competition always makes everybody and every product better.
01:57:31.740 Yeah. I mean, when you're totally reliant on outside of your country, you know, it can be a negative, but there's always been an acknowledgement that we obviously are a wealthy.
01:57:40.420 Nation. Things cost more to do here. We pay our employees more, all these things that are part of the package. Everyone understands them.
01:57:47.240 One of the things that we tried to do as a midpoint and saying, Hey, it's probably not healthy for us to be relying on the Chinese communist party for everything that we need.
01:57:57.040 What, how can we work around that? And a big part of that was to focus on Canada and Mexico.
01:58:02.680 Um, and I, I could be wrong on this Glenn, but like, it seems like, uh, president Trump is saying, Hey, we need to move as much as we can back here.
01:58:12.380 Um, but the one country he's been, I don't know, almost oddly lenient with has been Mexico, you know, over and over.
01:58:20.720 He just announced another pause with Mexico. Um, and he seems to be giving this, uh, president of Mexico, you know, the, the weird treatment he does, which is like really compliment them at while at the same time negotiating really hard with them.
01:58:35.280 He has that, he has that way about him. And that relationship seems to be one that he's focusing on and look, you know, it would be good for us if we had a, um, a place where we could get cheaper goods made, um, that would supply the needs of the U S marketplace and also help a country at some level, you know, Mexico having a terrible economy is not good for us.
01:58:58.120 You know, I, you know, like we don't want, I mean, it's almost a failed narco state in many ways at this point. And that's not good. That's not good. That's why I'm actually glad to see him. Um, cause I, I can guarantee you things are happening behind the scenes.
01:59:14.200 Yeah. Uh, and he's trying, he's working towards something. He's not just like, you know, Mexico is a great place to go on vacation. Right. Right. That's not happening. Yeah. So, I mean, I think we have to acknowledge that at some level there, there just has to be a mix, a better mix.
01:59:28.120 Then we've developed over the years. And, you know, I, I don't know, you know, again, I don't love all the tariff policy stuff, but I think that is certainly, you know, Trump's goal here, uh, is to, is to make, you know, that, that situation more healthy. And I, you know, you hope it works. Um, I am concerned, you know, because we do have a lot of, you know, I think we have a lot of negative things that are inside of our economy that we're working through. We've been talking about spending and debt forever. That doesn't seem to be getting any better at the moment.
01:59:55.460 I think a lot of the things Trump has done has improved the economy and are helping us like certainly with energy is really making us even more of a force than we were before. And that's a positive taking off the Obama. What is it? The, you know, Oh, this, the declaration of harm scale. Yeah. Declaration of harm when it comes to global warming. Massive.
02:00:14.460 That is, that's probably the biggest, uh, repeal of regulation, at least in a hundred years.
02:00:22.760 That's huge. It's a huge one. I mean, tons of regulations are based off that finding back from, I think it was 2009. Yeah. And so, uh, Lee Zeldin's working on getting that overturned. There's a process to that, that it'll, it'll take some time, but like, that's a real, a real positive. And, and, and look, I don't like, man, I'm not a tariff guy, as you mentioned.
02:00:44.460 Um, but it is important to keep it in perspective. We have a $30 trillion economy in imports, uh, especially imported goods are about 10% of that.
02:00:54.780 So, you know, right now what we have as an effective tariff rate before, uh, August 7th, right now it's been about 8.8%, I think overall, which is a lot higher than we've had, but you're talking about an, an 8% tax on 10% of our economy.
02:01:12.020 Um, you know, it's not going, it shouldn't throw us into catastrophic collapse. Um, and, and what we have here, uh, you know, again, I don't like these policies, but I think they are far, far less damaging than what was initially proposed.
02:01:24.460 Right. Um, but, but I think you're also, maybe, you know, we all tend to not look at the favorable, um, tariff lowering from the other countries, you know, when, when he makes a deal with Europe and now we can sell our autos into Germany.
02:01:43.460 To Germany. Yeah. Or to Japan. That makes a difference. It's absolutely unreasonable to buy an American vehicle over in Europe. It's unreasonable for a myriad of reasons, but the, the, the, the, the former tariffs that they had on us made it ridiculous. There's nobody going to buy one.
02:02:02.320 Yeah. I love the, I mean, look that those parts of the agreements where we're lowering tariffs on stuff that we're exporting, I think is fantastic and should continue. Um, uh, you know, that is, I think, uh,
02:02:13.320 an objective positive and, you know, we, there's obviously still, I know, I know we never certainly didn't get to 90, uh, trade agreements in 90 days by any means. There's still a lot of work to do on that front, but I mean, he does seem to be working to, to get there. Um, so, uh, you know, I look, I, I think people get overwhelmed by this stuff and, you know, it is still a small chunk of the economy. He hasn't touched tariffs on imported services, which is also a big part of this. Like he just left that out there. So that's a whole nother thing.
02:02:43.260 It's just been goods. And if, you know, if it keeps maintained to these levels, I don't think it'll be positive for the economy and I'm worried about it stacking up on each other, but I don't think it's going to destroy us either. Yeah. Um, the, um, which we were both afraid of, um, at those older rates, you know, it would have been much more, I think much more immediately noticeable. I mean, when you look at all these negotiation, yeah, exactly. I mean, we talked about that at the time. I think like when, you know, you said, uh, when you have these things,
02:03:11.260 you look at all the tariff studies that have been done over the years, the, the, the price hikes tend to come within a year or two of the hikes. Uh, it's not like, you know, uh, they get raised by 15% and 15% they go up. They slowly work their way through the economy and, you know, trade importing trade is one thing.
02:03:28.920 One of the other things we have is American companies that make things that, as you kind of mentioned earlier, that have parts imported. So it winds up hitting domestic stuff as well. We hope that we can just avoid that. A lot of that. And I think part of the reason why we might be able to offset some of it is because the other changes he's making in the economy are, uh, are really helping, right? Like, you know, energy being, I think the biggest thing you can point to. So again, it's just going to be a complicated picture and we're not going to know the results of it for a couple of years. That's just,
02:03:58.060 it makes everybody uncomfortable, but it's the truth. Uh, I, I want to, I want to mention one other thing. Um, I'm going to take a quick break and then come back. Let me just write this down. So I don't forget. Um, something about Donald Trump that I noticed that I don't think anybody has, we all, I think we all, when I say it, everybody go, Oh yeah, but I don't think anybody's saying this. Um, and give that to you here in just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor.
02:04:24.180 Our sponsor this half hour is relief factor. Um, you know, who never complains about back pain? Aliens. Think about it. They have massive heads, spindly little bodies, and they're always standing over humans on metal slabs. I mean, that can't be good for the lumbar, you know, but do they groan? Oh, my sciatica. No, they just zoom off in their saucers. No ice pack. No, you know, Pilates, nothing. You know, of course they aren't usually in zero G. So they don't have all that pressure on their back.
02:04:54.180 But meanwhile, I sleep slightly crooked on one pillow and wake up feeling like I lost a bar fight with a vending machine. Luckily there is a relief factor, a daily supplement that targets the root cause of pain, inflammation. It was developed by doctors, backed by millions of users, and it is powerful. So if you're walking around sounding like an old door, every time you stand up, give relief factor a try or option B, try checking, try tracking down a UFO, climb aboard and, you know, hope their, you know, abduction table just, uh, comes with heated massage.
02:05:24.180 I don't know. I don't know. It could be a relief factor. Three-week quick start. Get it now. Give it a try for only $19.95. Visit relieffactor.com, relieffactor.com, or call 800-4-RELIEF. That's 1-800-4-RELIEF.
02:05:38.180 This is Glenn Beck.
02:05:43.020 It's Friday. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
02:06:07.080 You know, I was thinking yesterday, um, I don't remember what was in the news and I saw president Trump and he was, I don't know, on the moon or wherever he was. And, uh, I thought this guy, how is he doing this? I am, I'm so tired all the time. It feel, I feel like, and this guy is just running and running and running and running. And I thought, has there been, and I'd like to get your opinion on this too.
02:06:35.080 Has there been a harder working president than this one now? And I say this, I don't, I say this knowing that a lot of presidents worked really hard. FDR worked really, really hard. You know, he, he did a lot of stuff. Um, however, the times are different now.
02:06:54.320 That, you know, it's constant 24 seven news cycle. It's constantly battling everything. It's, uh, constantly, um, uh, social media things on the other side of the globe. You're traveling here and there.
02:07:11.600 I think in the last 30 years, maybe, I don't think there's been a harder working president than this one. You may not agree with what he's doing, but, but honestly, have you seen, I mean, how many vacations, how many days off did, uh, was, uh, Barack Obama taking all the time? Same thing with George Bush. Same thing. All of them.
02:07:34.360 They were always taking vacations. Joe Biden was always on the beach. This guy. I mean, I don't think he takes a couple of hours off every day.
02:07:44.480 It's almost something that's, it is amazing. Especially, I mean, remember you forget this guy is in his late seventies. I don't know how he has the energy to do this stuff.
02:07:54.560 I have to tell you, there's very few people. I think maybe Elon Musk could keep up with him, but he has, as he always says, great genes. Um, and he's never had to sleep an awful lot. You know, he always like, if he didn't have to sleep, can you imagine what you could accomplish? Yeah, that you could do that.
02:08:13.000 I just don't think anybody and everybody should recognize that. Even if you disagree with what he's doing, I don't think anyone has worked this hard as president of the United States, especially in their first six months.
02:08:28.780 This is Glenn Beck.
02:08:43.000 This is Glenn Beck.
