00:02:23.140 Stand up straight and hold the line

00:02:30.140 It's a new day, time to rise

00:02:37.140 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:02:47.140 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:54.140 Hello America, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:57.140 This weekend was one of those times that happen rarely in a person's life

00:03:04.140 where you will remember exactly where you were when you heard the news.

00:03:09.140 President, President Trump, was shot over the weekend.

00:03:13.140 I'm gonna bring you all of the facts, all of the news, as any good journalist would do.

00:03:20.140 I emphasize any good journalist would do.

00:03:23.140 We'll do that first, but I'm not a journalist, I'm a commentator.

00:03:26.140 So I'm the guy who tries to put it all together so I can explain it to you and what it all means.

00:03:33.140 We do that in 60 seconds.

00:03:36.140 First, Jason from Texas wrote in that he has a nine-year-old Great Dane who has a thyroid problem.

00:03:42.140 Up until recently, she would sleep up to 23 hours out of the day, but that's before she tried rough greens.

00:03:50.140 He wrote, I can't believe the difference.

00:03:54.140 She does the happy dance all the way to her bowl.

00:03:56.140 She's much more active.

00:03:57.140 She even jumped up on my shoulders last week.

00:04:00.140 She hasn't been able to do that in almost five years.

00:04:03.140 It's an amazing transformation.

00:04:05.140 Jason, that is exactly what I found with Uno.

00:04:09.140 He, I thought, I actually thought he was really healthy.

00:04:12.140 He didn't have any problems.

00:04:14.140 But the transformation in even him when he was healthy was remarkable.

00:04:19.140 It's not a dog food, it's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black.

00:04:23.140 You sprinkle it on the dog's food and it gives him everything that he needs or her.

00:04:28.140 Folks at Rough Greens, so confident your dog is going to love it.

00:04:47.140 So let me begin with the news.

00:04:53.140 On July 13th, on Saturday, former President Donald Trump was targeted in an assassination

00:05:02.140 attempt during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.

00:05:06.140 It occurred just after 6.10 p.m. while Trump was delivering a speech.

00:05:12.140 Let me give you the timeline.

00:05:15.140 6.10, gunfire erupted as Trump was speaking at the rally.

00:05:19.140 Trump reacted immediately, crouched behind the lectern as his Secret Service detail shielded him.

00:05:27.140 6.15 p.m., Secret Service identified and neutralized the shooter.

00:05:32.140 His name is Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was firing from a rooftop approximately 150 meters from the stage.

00:05:42.140 That makes that, with a rifle, a very easy shot.

00:05:47.140 6.20, Trump was escorted off the stage, transported to a medical facility for a minor injury where he was treated and later released.

00:05:56.140 6.30, law enforcement began securing the area and investigating the scene, finding additional explosive materials in Crook's car and at his home.

00:06:06.140 7.20, President Biden then returned to Washington early and political reactions to the incident started to emerge.

00:06:14.140 Now, here are the key details.

00:06:16.140 The shooter was Thomas Matthew Crooks.

00:06:19.140 He's 20 years old from Bethel Park in Pennsylvania.

00:06:23.140 He used an AR rifle, managed to reach the rooftop of a nearby building unnoticed.

00:06:30.140 Hmm, that's not exactly true, according to those in the crowd, but at least unnoticed by Secret Service.

00:06:38.140 Reports suggest Crook had a complex political background, being a registered Republican, but donating to a progressive PAC.

00:06:48.140 We'll get into all of this in a minute.

00:06:51.140 The immediate response was a clown show.

00:06:56.140 The Secret Service's counter-assault team responded swiftly, according to the facts, killing Crooks and preventing further harm.

00:07:07.140 Did they, though?

00:07:09.140 The incident highlighted potential security lapses and prompted calls for a thorough investigation into how Crooks could secure access or to access a secured area unnoticed by Secret Service, but noticed by the crowd.

00:07:26.140 Questions also have arisen about the effectiveness of the Secret Service measures, whether adequate precautions were in place.

00:07:34.140 There are allegations and denials regarding the denial of additional security requests by Trump's campaign.

00:07:41.140 The political reactions are just sick.

00:07:48.140 Now, those are the facts as we know them.

00:07:53.140 Now, let me tie a few things together.

00:07:57.140 If Trump would have been killed on Saturday, we'd be at civil war today.

00:08:06.140 We would have seen, for the first time, the president's brains splattered on live television.

00:08:18.140 And because of the details of this, I have a hard time thinking it wouldn't have been viewed as JFK 2.0.

00:08:28.140 If you think that there were conspiracy theories on the grassy knoll, let's look at this one.

00:08:36.140 How does someone sneak a rifle onto the grounds?

00:08:41.140 How does someone even know that that building is there?

00:08:47.140 How is it that he was acting so weird and pacing in front of the metal detectors, they tried to follow him, but oops, he got away?

00:08:59.140 How could the kid possibly even think that the highest ground at the venue wouldn't even be watched?

00:09:06.140 My first guess would be, hey, that's the one place I shouldn't crawl up to with a rifle, because they're most definitely going to be there.

00:09:17.140 Why wasn't anyone there?

00:09:20.140 Why wasn't anyone watching it?

00:09:23.140 Nobody except the shooter decided that the highest ground with the best view and a handy ladder just happened to be there was a great place to camp.

00:09:36.140 And nobody in the Secret Service, none of the drones, none of the things we pay millions of dollars for, none of that caught him.

00:09:47.140 How did he get a ladder there?

00:09:52.140 If the ladder was there, is it always there?

00:09:54.140 Why was the ladder there?

00:09:56.140 They weld manhole covers closed when a president drives down a road.

00:10:04.140 How was there a ladder sitting around ready to climb up on the highest ground at the venue and the Secret Service failed to at least take it away?

00:10:19.140 There is plenty of video and eyewitnesses.

00:10:23.140 People were yelling that there was a guy with a rifle climbing up on a ladder to the roof for at least 60 seconds, more like 120 seconds, before the first shot was fired.

00:10:38.140 Why were the police just looking for him?

00:10:47.140 Why were they just looking at him?

00:10:51.140 Why did the sniper have him in his sights for over a minute before he took a shot?

00:11:01.140 Why did a cop climb up the ladder to look around?

00:11:06.140 When the guy pointed a gun at him, he then ducked down and came down off the ladder.

00:11:16.140 Did he call anyone to warn?

00:11:21.140 Can we check if the cop who climbed the ladder saw the shooter with the rifle?

00:11:28.140 Because this is the same story that we had in Uvalde.

00:11:35.140 Do we know?

00:11:36.140 Do we know?

00:11:40.140 How is it the Secret Service has a bodyguard, literal bodyguard, who is a woman that doesn't even reach Trump's nipples?

00:11:56.140 How is she going to guard the president's body with hers?

00:12:02.140 How is it another female Secret Service agent pulled her gun out a good four minutes too late, then looks around not knowing what to do, and then couldn't get it back into the holster because she's a Melissa McCarthy body double?

00:12:18.140 I don't think it's a good idea to have Melissa McCarthy guarding the president.

00:12:25.140 Let me ask you this.

00:12:28.140 Who trusts the FBI with the shooter's computer?

00:12:33.140 Will his hard drive get filed with the Nashville manifesto?

00:12:39.140 How is it that they almost didn't have snipers at all, but they got them the day before the rally because everything was going to be put on Jill Biden?

00:12:54.140 I want Jill Biden safe.

00:12:56.140 I want Jill Biden to have what the First Lady should have for security.

00:13:01.140 But we are almost $40 trillion in debt.

00:13:06.140 You can't hire a few guys to make sure our candidates are safe?

00:13:13.140 How is it that we have a Secret Service director whose experience is literally guarding two liters of squirt and spicy Doritos?

00:13:25.140 Did you know that's her background?

00:13:28.140 Yeah.

00:13:30.140 Yeah, she's in charge of the United States Treasury Secret Service, and her last job was head of security for Pepsi.

00:13:42.140 How is it they're allowing, you know, randos just to carry guns around the RNC convention now?

00:13:49.140 But no, really, this time, Republicans are going to get the sternest worded letter written.

00:13:55.140 It's going to be different this time.

00:13:57.140 The letter's going to, they're going to underline stuff, and they'll put bold sentences in.

00:14:02.140 This is a game.

00:14:05.140 And that's what makes this sick.

00:14:08.140 This is a joke.

00:14:12.140 There are members in our country that actually thought it was okay to post themselves screaming about how this guy was so incompetent.

00:14:31.140 How do you miss that shot?

00:14:37.140 Do you realize how close we came to another JFK?

00:14:43.140 If the president hadn't have turned his head at the exact moment, it would have gone into the center of his head.

00:14:55.140 And we'd be a different country today.

00:15:01.140 Now, Joe Biden is also saying that we shouldn't make assumptions about the motive of the shooter.

00:15:07.140 Well, I think we can assume one thing.

00:15:09.140 He wanted to kill the Republican candidate for president.

00:15:13.140 Can we agree on that at least?

00:15:15.140 Can we assume that?

00:15:19.140 How can the media even think of blaming Trump for the rhetoric when the Democrats and the media constantly call him literally worse than Hitler that must be stopped at all costs?

00:15:33.140 I just want to play some of the stuff that even we forgot about.

00:15:40.140 Bowie, who's on my staff, who's in charge of audio and video for my shows.

00:15:47.140 I talked to her this morning and she said, I even forgot how long ago this started.

00:15:54.140 He was Hitler who had to be stopped even if it was an assassination before he was even president in 2015.

00:16:05.140 Let me go through some of this when we come back.

00:16:12.140 First, let me tell you about an amazing deal with a great company.

00:16:18.140 That company is MyPillow and the amazing deal is their $25 sales.

00:17:30.140 It's MyPillow.com.

00:17:32.140 10 seconds.

00:17:33.140 Station ID.

00:17:34.140 All right, so let me start with just a montage of the left starting before he was even president in 2015.

00:17:57.140 When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?

00:18:02.140 Where is John Wilkes Booth when you need him?

00:18:06.140 I believe that Trump poses a fundamental threat to America.

00:18:10.140 Trump is as destructive a person in this century as Hitler, Stalin and Mao were in the last century.

00:18:17.140 President Trump is dangerous to America and the future of America.

00:18:21.140 We need to articulate the fact that Donald Trump is a danger to America.

00:18:25.140 He must go. He is a clear and present danger to the nation.

00:18:29.140 Donald Trump is a fascist leader and he's mobilizing his forces.

00:18:35.140 Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation.

00:18:38.140 He's a threat to our freedom. He's a threat to our democracy.

00:18:43.140 He is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy and he has to be eliminated.

00:18:52.140 The existential threat to the United States of America is Donald Trump.

00:18:56.140 I see Trump as a danger to our democracy and I see him as a self-proclaimed fascist.

00:19:02.140 Trump is a existential threat to the future of America.

00:19:06.140 David Aronovich, who presents Radio 4's Briefing Room show, took to X4 Twitter and wrote,

00:19:12.140 If I was Biden, I'd hurry it up and have Trump murdered on the basis that he is a threat to America's security.

00:19:19.140 Okay.

00:19:23.140 So what do you expect to happen?

00:19:29.140 Especially when, if you look through history, the people that have assassinated presidents here in the United States or tried to pull things off and kill politicians are usually Marxist, communists, leftists, and then the occasional Palestinian thrown in there.

00:19:54.140 That's the truth.

00:19:59.140 Now, most people are smart enough to know that homosexuals are not going to be disappeared, as The View claimed, or that Trump death squads have now been green-lighted by the Supreme Court, as Rachel Maddow said.

00:20:18.140 But it is addictive, and it is contagious, and for the unsettled mind, it allows you permission to do something and become a hero.

00:20:33.140 As soon as Trump was elected, Kathy Griffin was holding a bloodied, severed head of Donald Trump.

00:20:41.140 Just recently, another celebrity begged Biden to, quote, blow Trump up.

00:20:51.140 For months, people have called Trump Hitler.

00:20:56.140 The GOP, Nazi.

00:21:00.140 Some compared stopping Trump to stopping Hitler.

00:21:03.140 In fact, Dan Goldman, you just heard, not only unfit, he's destructive to our democracy and has to be eliminated.

00:21:13.140 Others said that Trump would destroy the world unless he stopped.

00:21:20.140 Now, I don't think most people actually mean that, but I'm beginning to wonder.

00:21:29.140 I have never thought assassination of a political foe or the president would be a good idea.

00:21:41.140 And I've not liked a lot of the presidents that I've had in my lifetime.

00:21:48.140 I didn't think it was a good idea when a leftist Bernie Sanders Marxist gunned down Republicans on the baseball diamond.

00:21:56.140 Or a leftist using Reddit to run how-to surveys tried to kill Kavanaugh.

00:22:03.140 These people are serious.

00:22:10.140 And we have a president that is focusing on January 6th and the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping hoax.

00:22:18.140 It was a hoax.

00:22:20.140 We know that now.

00:22:22.140 The left burned cities down over BLM and took a section of a city in Seattle, passing out assault rifles to children out of the back of a car.

00:22:34.140 And they say traditional Catholics are the real danger.

00:22:38.140 Nowhere do we hear about the trans non-binary shooters responsible in Nashville or Philadelphia or Colorado Springs or Denver or Aberdeen or Perry.

00:22:49.140 We're not even allowed to see the manifesto when we all know it exists.

00:22:54.140 And now the media is just hammering that Project 2025 is nothing more than a Fifth Reich.

00:23:04.140 Have you read Project 2025?

00:23:10.140 In 2021, we started keeping a string of stories where leftists were violent to the right and Trump supporters.

00:23:19.140 There are now over 700 stories in that file.

00:23:23.140 Stand up!

00:23:26.140 Glenn Beck.

00:23:35.140 Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

00:23:40.140 Okay, I'm going to tell you in a minute here what Trump needs to say, and it looks like he is going to say this week.

00:23:46.140 Wouldn't it be nice if we lived in a world where your credit card balance wasn't crippling with compound interest?

00:23:52.140 Sounds nice, but unfortunately that's not the world we live in.

00:23:55.140 And if you're somebody who has had to use credit cards a lot, chances are pretty fair that you could end up in debt up to your eyeballs eventually.

00:24:03.140 I'm talking about the kind of debt that can wipe out your savings, set you back for years, even cost you your house.

00:24:09.140 But if you're a fiscally responsible person, find a little time in your day to give the mortgage consultants over at American Financing a quick call.

00:24:18.140 They're going to look over your finances and see if there's some areas that could be improved.

00:24:23.140 For instance, your mortgage really can be made to work for you.

00:24:27.140 It can help get you out of the high interest debt fast.

00:24:30.140 And that's the kind of thing that happens for people when they get in touch with American Financing.

00:24:35.140 Please don't take my word for it.

00:25:00.140 I want to make something really, really clear.

00:25:07.140 The only one to blame for this assassination is the shooter.

00:25:14.140 He's the one who tried to shoot the president with the facts that we know right now.

00:25:20.140 I am bringing up the president and the left's rhetoric for a couple of reasons.

00:25:27.140 Did it play a role?

00:25:29.140 Absolutely.

00:25:30.140 Are they responsible for it?

00:25:32.140 Well, I want to get into that in just a second.

00:25:36.140 But the rhetoric has been nonstop that this guy is Hitler that has to be eliminated.

00:25:44.140 He's a Hitlerian.

00:25:47.140 He is a, you know, Fifth Reich.

00:25:51.140 He is going to round people up just like Hitler did.

00:25:55.140 That plays a role in unstable heads.

00:25:58.140 Okay.

00:25:59.140 But you can't, you can't be responsible for all unstable people that are out there because

00:26:05.140 there's a lot of unstable people, but you can watch your language.

00:26:10.140 Here's what I think really happened with this kid.

00:26:14.140 And I'm just guessing.

00:26:15.140 This kid is being pumped full of all kinds of bad ideas in school.

00:26:22.140 He is being pumped full of all kinds of bad ideas in the media and social media.

00:26:28.140 He is also seeing that you're really kind of a hero if you, you know, are part of BLM and you burn a city down.

00:26:39.140 If you're on the right side, there is, there is no, uh, trial for you.

00:26:45.140 There's no problem.

00:26:46.140 In fact, the vice president will bail you out.

00:26:50.140 So he's seeing the lack of, uh, enforcement on one side, which makes it appear that that side is right.

00:26:59.140 And the oldest question in known to a man in the 20th century is if you could go back and kill baby Hitler, would you?

00:27:11.140 Implying that you're a hero.

00:27:13.140 If you would.

00:27:14.140 The only one that's responsible is the shooter, but there are other things that influence the minds of unstable people.

00:27:27.140 And I want to bring their rhetoric into play because why are they going after Donald Trump on for January 6th?

00:27:37.140 Because he said, go to the Capitol peacefully, let your voice be heard.

00:27:43.140 They're saying he incited this.

00:27:47.140 Those aren't inciting words.

00:27:51.140 Inciting words are much more like, uh, it's time we put a bullseye on Donald Trump and Donald Trump is Hitler who has to be eliminated.

00:28:02.140 Now, I don't think that Joe Biden meant the bullseye thing.

00:28:09.140 Just like, uh, Sarah Palin didn't mean the crosshairs, but if you're going to be consistent, if you're going to be morally consistent, if you're actually outraged by crosshairs, then you should be outraged by bullseye.

00:28:24.140 And if you think somebody's rhetoric can actually cause people to go to the Capitol and tear it apart, well, then you should be concerned about the rhetoric of this guy's Hitler that has to be eliminated.

00:28:40.220 And if you want to be morally consistent, because you're trying that guy, shouldn't you be trying this president as well?

00:28:54.040 Is anybody on the, on the left beginning to see the problems with the cases that they have brought?

00:29:01.800 So here's what I hope the president would say.

00:29:09.580 First of all, I don't think I've seen a, uh, bigger act of courage in my lifetime from a president.

00:29:19.220 To stand up and insist that he can look at the crowd, make an opening for me so I can see the crowd and to raise his fist and say, fight.

00:29:32.800 Now, I know a lot of people on the left, they want to say, well, see, he's going for violence.

00:29:38.060 No, fight for what you believe in.

00:29:41.920 Stop being mealy mouthed about it.

00:29:45.020 Stand up, stand up, stand up, fight at the ballot box.

00:29:52.960 Stand up and stop just being plowed under by lies.

00:30:00.360 Fight.

00:30:01.940 You're darn right.

00:30:03.700 You're darn right.

00:30:06.240 I thought it was an amazing moment.

00:30:08.960 However, I was really happy to read what he said.

00:30:14.560 He's going to Milwaukee.

00:30:16.120 Yet another, uh, amazing, uh, think about what it feels like to be shot at and almost killed.

00:30:27.960 How long would it take before you could go out in public again?

00:30:31.600 He went last night till Milwaukee, which is significant.

00:30:38.240 We'll tell you why here in a little while.

00:30:40.200 He goes to Milwaukee and he's on the ground and he says, he's changing the theme of the convention that's happening this week.

00:30:51.100 He's changing it to unity.

00:30:55.620 To peace.

00:30:56.780 Peace.

00:31:01.600 I would hope the president will come out and say something along the lines of, we're standing here today because America is resilient.

00:31:13.740 A few days ago, somebody tried to kill me.

00:31:18.160 But by God's grace, that bully bullet only grazed me.

00:31:22.360 But it is a stark reminder of the divisions and the anger that we see today.

00:31:31.640 And we're at a critical moment.

00:31:34.240 And when you have a bullet whiz by your head, there's two ways to go.

00:31:41.000 One is vengeance and the other is unity.

00:31:45.640 And our nation is divided.

00:31:47.760 Trust is low.

00:31:48.940 In our neighborhoods, in the media, everywhere.

00:31:54.000 But let me echo the words of RFK.

00:31:59.700 When Martin Luther King was shot.

00:32:02.640 What we need in the United States is not division.

00:32:05.900 What we need in the United States is not hatred.

00:32:08.860 What we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness.

00:32:12.360 But it is love and wisdom and compassion toward one another.

00:32:16.760 America is the land of the underdog, of the little guy.

00:32:22.200 And we've always been that way.

00:32:25.280 But when I say fight, what I mean is the little guy needs to rise up.

00:32:31.540 Make sure your voice is heard.

00:32:33.660 To be not afraid.

00:32:35.980 We need to fight, but not with violence.

00:32:38.700 We fight with our words.

00:32:39.840 We fight on the streets with our words and with our actions.

00:32:46.620 And we need to stand up and show what America really means.

00:32:51.100 To stand up against the fear and intimidation.

00:32:55.800 Remember, America was built on the idea that all men and women are created equal.

00:33:01.480 With unalienable rights.

00:33:03.180 Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness.

00:33:04.780 They are not just words.

00:33:06.300 They are the foundation of this country.

00:33:12.860 Beginning today, let's show the rest of the world what it means to be American.

00:33:20.540 If you believe that America is an exceptional place,

00:33:25.000 then it's the people that make it that way.

00:33:31.320 Every voice matters.

00:33:34.120 Every citizen matters.

00:33:35.540 Stand up for the principles in our Bill of Rights.

00:33:40.840 Defend the truth with integrity and courage.

00:33:44.380 Forgive others without compromising our values.

00:33:51.460 I would hope the president would say,

00:33:53.260 join me now in a different fight.

00:33:55.020 Not with guns, but with ideas.

00:33:57.180 Not with hatred, but with understanding.

00:34:00.740 To begin to write a new chapter in our history.

00:34:04.340 Let's rise above our differences and find our e pluribus unum.

00:34:10.580 Our common ground again.

00:34:14.020 Because I do believe that all Americans should not be afraid of their commander-in-chief.

00:34:22.220 If you are afraid of the president, either on the right or the left,

00:34:27.520 that is showing you and screaming at you the power in the Oval Office is too great.

00:34:35.840 And our republic is out of balance.

00:34:41.140 And that's what Project 2025 is all about.

00:34:45.160 That's what I'm going to try to do.

00:34:48.500 That's what the Supreme Court is doing.

00:34:51.020 They are not empowering the seat of the presidency.

00:34:54.480 I'm a president that is going to try to reduce the power of the presidency.

00:35:01.040 We're the United States of America, and we're strong.

00:35:06.000 We're brave.

00:35:06.700 We're compassionate.

00:35:09.280 But it's time to rise to the challenge and fight with the spirit that has always guided us.

00:35:16.400 Let's be the light in dark times.

00:35:19.820 Let's stand together shoulder to shoulder.

00:35:22.100 We're not a nation divided by fear.

00:35:25.820 We need to be a nation that is united by hope.

00:35:30.640 This is our time to prove the American dream is alive and well.

00:35:41.720 That's what I hope the president says.

00:35:47.000 We already know the difference between the policies.

00:35:52.840 We know for the first time in my lifetime, we have two presidents, two administrations we can A-B compare.

00:36:00.800 It's not like, well, will he do this?

00:36:02.880 We know what he did last time.

00:36:05.360 We know what Joe Biden has done this time.

00:36:13.440 The winning message will be the message that most Americans want to hear.

00:36:20.420 This has got to stop.

00:36:23.380 And it's not going to stop by me forcing half the country to shut up.

00:36:29.120 It's not going to stop by them forcing the other half to shut up.

00:36:32.980 It's going to happen because a leader stands up and says, enough is enough.

00:36:40.000 And can convince the American people can reverse all of the damage that the elites in our colleges and institutions and our media has done

00:36:58.560 over the last 20 years to convince us that we're a bad people, that we're a racist people.

00:37:05.820 We've done some bad things, but usually the worst things we do are led by our own government.

00:37:16.820 And I've never believed the government was America.

00:37:22.820 I've always believed the citizens were.

00:37:25.760 There are a couple of things that could come our way that we should be aware of.

00:37:40.940 But the most important thing is that you reach out to those who think differently

00:37:49.040 and you show them we are not the neo-Nazi fascist, that they have been groomed to believe.

00:37:58.700 It is important today that we all reach out to somebody that doesn't agree with us, that is a friend.

00:38:08.560 Just say, how are you doing today?

00:38:11.280 Yeah, I know.

00:38:13.100 Our guy was shot.

00:38:15.620 But I want you to know I don't hold you responsible for that.

00:38:21.660 I'm sure you were just as offended as I was.

00:38:25.680 If they weren't, move on.

00:38:28.700 But most likely, any decent American was horrified by what they saw over the weekend.

00:38:38.340 Back in just a minute.

00:40:02.300 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:40:04.680 Did you hear about the cyber scammers that tried to steal Graceland from Elvis Presley's family?

00:40:24.600 This is a real story.

00:40:25.780 It was a few weeks ago.

00:40:26.880 And the FBI calls this generalized crime house stealing.

00:40:31.040 And if you're a homeowner, you really need to pay attention to this.

00:40:33.360 Because a scammer can forge your signature on a fake transfer document stating that you sold your home to them.

00:40:39.940 They file it with the county, and now they're the new owner somehow.

00:40:43.740 They can take out loans using your equity as collateral and disappear, leaving you with financial and legal nightmare.

00:40:50.260 Part of this time, you might be still living in the house.

00:40:52.340 But all this while your equity is being drained.

00:40:55.560 A new report shows homeowners are sitting on a gold mine.

00:40:57.800 We now have $16 trillion in available equity in our homes.

00:41:01.660 An all-time high.

00:41:02.540 And that's why you need protection from this scam, where the equity in our homes is the target.

00:41:07.440 If nobody's watching the title to your home, these scammers can target you.

00:41:11.000 And honestly, you know, if they're not watching Graceland's title, I mean, anything is vulnerable to this.

00:41:59.760 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:42:02.060 We're glad that you're here.

00:42:03.960 There is the one message that I want to make really, really clear to this audience.

00:42:12.880 I was at a family reunion this weekend, and there were about 30 of us.

00:42:19.320 And we spent several days together, and we had, and believe me, my family does not vote necessarily like I vote.

00:42:27.180 And there have been problems in the family with people getting upset at one another.

00:42:33.040 And it didn't happen this weekend.

00:42:36.380 It didn't happen, at least in my house, with the family.

00:42:41.080 Because I framed things differently.

00:42:44.200 I framed things because I do actually want to hear my relatives' opinions on how they got there.

00:42:52.080 How did you get there?

00:42:53.580 And I could see that they are missing certain things.

00:42:56.900 They are getting their media.

00:42:58.500 They're getting all of their news from the mainstream.

00:43:02.160 And that gives you a different look.

00:43:05.480 We have a chance to really explain what's going on and what they're missing.

00:43:12.860 And perhaps what we miss from time to time because we're not talking to them.

00:43:18.480 If we're not jerks about all of this, we have a chance of really doing a great service for our country and for the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

00:43:33.840 Because I think we all really feel the same.

00:43:38.140 Not the diehards, not the leftists, but your neighbor.

00:43:41.940 First, let me tell you about the coin credit card.

00:43:47.840 Every time you use your credit card, your woke credit card company uses your money to support left-wing groups.

00:43:55.160 It's not the best to hear, but it is absolutely true.

00:43:58.780 You're the one helping George Soros fund all these college occupations if you have a woke credit card.

00:44:07.860 Welcome to the parallel economy.

00:44:10.080 The coin card, spelled C-O-I-G-N, is America's only conservative credit card.

00:44:16.220 And it gives you the freedom to support the causes that match your values.

00:44:20.000 Coin offers unlimited cash back rewards, world-class theft and fraud protection, and the ability to line your dollars with your values because coin donates to conservative causes.

00:44:31.920 To learn more and apply for a coin card, all you have to do is go to coincoign.com slash blaze.

00:45:21.820 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:45:36.900 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:45:43.360 Hello, America.

00:45:45.020 There is some big, significant breaking news.

00:45:48.560 Also, Selena Zito joins us in just a minute.

00:45:51.900 She was about four feet away from the president.

00:45:55.660 She said she could feel the bullets whiz by.

00:45:59.920 One of the Secret Service advancements actually pushed her down to the ground and was protecting, laying on top of her and her daughter and a friend at the rally until the shooting was over.

00:46:13.300 She has an amazing story to tell, as she was obviously there.

00:46:18.400 We go to her in 60 seconds.

00:46:20.940 First, let me tell you about Mercury Real Estate.

00:46:24.260 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:46:26.800 The greatest thing about owning this company is not only the great service that I hear from people that they got, but also on days when it's big news, I can say, just go to Mercury Real Estate right now.

00:46:41.240 Go to realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:46:43.640 That's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:46:45.660 If you want to buy or sell your house, do it.

00:46:48.220 They're going to take care of you.

00:46:49.460 And then we can move on and get to the real news of the day.

00:46:53.200 Stu, give me the breaking news about Jack Smith.

00:46:58.300 Well, according to Judge Cannon, this is the judge in the case in Florida.

00:47:03.580 His appointment is unconstitutional.

00:47:06.520 And the classified documents case has been dismissed.

00:47:10.640 Now, this will surely be challenged, of course, but a massive development.

00:47:17.660 How do you challenge that?

00:47:20.680 He was not appointed in the correct way.

00:47:25.160 I mean, he's not a special prosecutor.

00:47:28.540 You cannot just make up the rules as you go along.

00:47:32.600 This is great.

00:47:33.680 I mean, I was really upset about Alec Baldwin because I have heard things from people that were on the set that would lead one to believe that Alec Baldwin should go to jail or be held responsible for the shooting on his film.

00:47:51.300 However, the prosecution was withholding evidence from his defense, and so the judge dismissed it.

00:48:00.380 Well, I'm pissed at the prosecution, but the judge did the right thing.

00:48:05.540 You do not cut corners when it comes to people's rights.

00:48:09.620 All right.

00:48:10.260 Let me go to Selena Zito, who was in Pennsylvania this weekend with the president, and she was about four feet away.

00:48:19.840 Selena, I'm glad you're safe.

00:48:22.760 Thank you so much, Glenn.

00:48:26.340 So tell me the story.

00:48:28.040 What did you see?

00:48:29.760 What happened?

00:48:31.380 Well, I think the story begins with I was scheduled to fly with the president along with my daughter and son-in-law to do an extensive interview from flying from Butler, Pennsylvania to Bedminster after the rally.

00:48:47.920 However, a few minutes before he was set to speak, their advance team came back and grabbed myself, my daughter, photojournalist, my son-in-law, and said the president wants to say hi to you.

00:48:59.180 So they take us back behind the stage into a holding room, and he's there with several law enforcement people.

00:49:07.880 They're taking pictures, you know, shaking hands.

00:49:10.780 It's a very happy place in this holding area.

00:49:14.540 And he sees me, he said, hey, Selena, oh, my gosh, it's so great to see you.

00:49:19.500 Really, really looking forward to talking about Pennsylvania and talking about, you know, you're doing the interview.

00:49:27.120 I left the room, and because we were behind the stage, they told us, you're going to just have to go into the bumper because we need to get you to the motorcade because you're going to leave with the president right after the rally.

00:49:43.640 So I was in the bumper.

00:49:45.860 It's a well that goes around the stage that separates yourself, the speaker, the president from the audience.

00:49:53.200 And it gives the ability for photojournalists, thank goodness, because the amazing work that they did covering it and chronicling it.

00:50:02.280 And I was, and my daughter has great photos too, and we were to his left.

00:50:09.640 And Trump did something that he never does.

00:50:13.220 I've covered his rallies forever.

00:50:15.860 He never turns his neck either way.

00:50:18.680 Now, he might turn his body, but he never turns his neck.

00:50:23.460 He never looks the other direction.

00:50:25.540 He also did something he never did.

00:50:27.540 And he got, he got, he became like his Ross Perot moment, and he brought a chart out.

00:50:32.980 And the chart had on it the, sort of the amount of illegal immigrants that have crossed.

00:50:39.840 And he was pointing to the low point, which was when he was president, when I heard pop, pop, pop.

00:50:47.400 He grabs his face.

00:50:49.180 I see the blood on his face.

00:50:51.400 He immediately gets down in a protective posture.

00:50:55.560 He is surrounded, as he is being surrounded by the law enforcement, I hear pop, pop, pop, pop again.

00:51:06.400 This sounded to me like a different caliber, not the same gun that was first used.

00:51:14.180 And, and I watched them, you know, I can hear them talking.

00:51:20.740 I can hear the chatter between them.

00:51:22.500 I'm right there.

00:51:24.640 And, and at one point they say, it's time to get, you know, we're going to go, we're going to go.

00:51:29.180 And, and I hear the president say, I got to get my shoe, guys.

00:51:34.280 I'm paraphrasing.

00:51:35.380 But he, and apparently someone had knocked his shoe off when they put him in a protective stance.

00:51:41.640 And he rises up and he, he lifts his hand and he says, fight.

00:51:46.480 I can hear him say fight maybe five times.

00:51:49.060 And, and, and he projects it out to the crowd.

00:51:53.680 Then they come past me.

00:51:56.220 I'm on the ground at this point.

00:51:58.900 And, um, uh, he does not have his hat on, but he, someone has his hat and it just sort of, it was almost like slow motion just fell right in front of me.

00:52:12.360 And then they take him off to the motor motorcade as, as he goes that way.

00:52:17.860 I see people in the, in the VIP section, the bleachers, someone is injured and people are rushing towards them.

00:52:26.260 Um, within minutes, they take us out of the bumper and place us into a holding area.

00:52:32.400 I think because they were worried that we were okay.

00:52:35.720 It was very unclear if, if any of the photojournalists, you know, were hit or hurt.

00:52:41.180 And, um, so that's, that's what I saw.

00:52:46.080 Did, did you get on the plane then with president afterwards?

00:52:50.940 No, but here's how I got the interview with them.

00:52:54.500 So the next morning, and it was early, like yesterday, that was yesterday.

00:52:59.280 My God, I, the sense of time is bizarre at this moment.

00:53:02.820 He calls me early yesterday morning and, and he said, Selena, are you and your daughter, Shannon, and your,

00:53:11.180 son-in-law Michael, okay.

00:53:13.460 And I really want to apologize for not being allowed to do that or not being able to do that interview with you.

00:53:20.600 And I said, Mr.

00:53:23.100 Mr.

00:53:23.640 President, you were shot.

00:53:24.780 I feel like we're good.

00:53:27.780 I feel like we're good.

00:53:29.220 Um, and so we talked for a little bit.

00:53:31.560 So what did he say to you?

00:53:34.700 Um, he just, well, you know, he talked for a while.

00:53:38.820 He called me back a couple different times.

00:53:40.760 We eventually did an interview.

00:53:42.260 But the thrust of, of, of, of his emotion was someone who is feeling incredibly thankful as someone that recognizes that that was an act of God.

00:53:58.020 It was a divine intervention because he never does what he did when he did, but in the minute, the second that he made that decision.

00:54:07.180 He doesn't know why he made that decision.

00:54:09.920 He always turns his body, which was, had he done that, he still would have been shot.

00:54:15.800 So whether he was facing forward or facing to the side, but full body, he still would have been shot in the head.

00:54:22.540 But because he turned his neck, which is something he never does.

00:54:28.880 I have to, if you've ever been to a Trump rally, it's a very transactional, um, event between him and the people that are there.

00:54:38.280 And so he always is projecting towards them.

00:54:42.060 He never looks away from them.

00:54:44.060 Um, and, and, and, and he talked just about, you know, he said, I had a palm dinger of a speech I was going to give.

00:54:53.940 Those exact words, he said, but, you know, it's important to meet the moment.

00:54:59.900 I understand, understand knowing that I was saved and there is a purpose there.

00:55:08.660 And that I need to meet that purpose, that moment.

00:55:15.000 And he said, he did, when he stood up and raised his fist, he said, it wasn't about him.

00:55:21.760 He said, American presidents represent not themselves.

00:55:26.080 They represent the country.

00:55:28.160 To me, it was incredibly important to convey that the country is okay, that we are okay.

00:55:34.620 So Selena, um, he, when, when you say he recognized this moment, it, it feels like this could be transformative in his life, uh, but also his life as a politician.

00:55:53.360 Did you get that sense?

00:55:55.200 And when he was talking about going to Wisconsin, he's, he said that, uh, he's changing the theme of it.

00:56:02.820 He's not going to go after, uh, Biden, but he's going to go after unity.

00:56:08.240 Do you think this is transformative?

00:56:11.800 Absolutely.

00:56:12.920 You know, what is interesting to me as someone who has covered him for over nine years, uh, and has really understood the Trump voter.

00:56:24.540 Mainly because of my geographical and emotional location in the, um, Appalachian Midwest, um, his, you know, people have turned make America great into a sort of slang term, a derogatory term.

00:56:43.740 They call it mega, but make America great again is an aspirational sentiment.

00:56:51.680 And, and, and I think he understands that he is now transformed to being in a more aspirational moment, but that he, that we need as a country to be part of something bigger than ourselves.

00:57:10.060 What is your take on, um, the security, the lack of, uh, of securing the president?

00:57:23.360 It was, uh, I mean, if, if, if he would have been killed, this would have been the JFK assassination times a thousand, uh, when it comes to conspiracy theories.

00:57:36.380 Why wasn't this covered?

00:57:37.500 Why wasn't this covered?

00:57:38.440 Why did they wait so long to shoot the guy?

00:57:40.320 I mean, what do you, what are your thoughts on that?

00:57:43.760 Do you have any?

00:57:44.600 Um, well, I didn't have, in the moment with the security I saw was immediate and protective, um, because they surrounded him, they were on top of him.

00:57:59.520 Um, they, they, they put their bodies all around him.

00:58:05.300 Um, and there were immediately men with really big guns standing over me, um, because they, they surround, I don't think that's seen as much in some of the video clips, but there is that whole perimeter.

00:58:22.600 There were, there were, there were, I mean, they were aiming it, they were, they are protecting him.

00:58:30.380 They were there, but having said that, I think the preparation, it appears to be that the preparation was, had many holes and was very faulty.

00:58:45.620 You know, this is Western Pennsylvania.

00:58:47.940 Not only were there outbuildings that were not even two football fields away that were not in the perimeter, there's also then wooded areas around it.

00:58:59.180 Western Pennsylvania, it's filled with crops of trees everywhere, you know?

00:59:03.140 So, so when you, you look at that, you wonder, huh, what, why was, that should have been secured.

00:59:10.240 Somebody could have been in those trees.

00:59:11.740 Well, they usually will take something and they will, uh, block the view from those areas.

00:59:21.020 If they can't secure it, they'll put, uh, you know, a big sign or something in the way.

00:59:26.720 So if somebody were in the woods or on that, uh, on that rooftop, they wouldn't have view of the stage.

00:59:32.980 And that wasn't done, uh, either for some unknown reason.

00:59:36.560 No, and the assumption I had going in as I'm walking in at around noon, that those outbuildings, this is a farm show complex.

00:59:47.900 So in a farm show complex, there's always these big sheds, um, that, that, you know, have where the livestock are, you know, for these big farm events, farm events.

00:59:59.000 Farm shows are big deals in, in, in the, um, uh, Great Lakes Midwest.

01:00:04.820 And, um, I made the assumption that they were, along with the buildings right behind them, which was that business that he climbed onto.

01:00:15.120 I assumed they were part of the, um, protective area, but, uh, now we're finding out they were, obviously they were not.

01:00:24.040 They were not. Selina, I know you have to run. Thank you so much for making time for us today.

01:00:29.300 And I'm, I'm glad that you're well and that things worked out the way they did over the weekend.

01:00:34.520 Thank you so much, Selina. God bless you so much.

01:00:37.440 Um, I want to go, I want to go to somebody else who was there, uh, and actually provided aid for the, the man who was killed.

01:00:46.440 Um, uh, there is, there's something that everything, uh, that I think everybody is missing in this, uh, and that is the reaction of the crowd.

01:00:56.600 If you think MAGA is just these horrible people, I want you to listen, uh, to, uh, the, the other person that we wanted you to hear from today.

01:01:10.040 And we'll do that in 60 seconds. Stand by.

01:01:12.160 First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. Uh, it is the IFCJ since the start, the start of the, uh, the swords of iron war in Israel on October 7th, we have seen death and destruction in the Holy land.

01:01:27.500 And for more than 40 years, the international fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on the ground in Israel and within hours of the war starting.

01:01:36.500 And every day since they've been feeding the hungry and protecting the vulnerable, the attacks are continuing in the North and the South in Israel, but, uh, there are resilient survivors who share their stories in a series.

01:01:50.200 The fellowship now calls faces of iron survivors like Shuki on October 7th, Shuki saved himself and eight others when Hamasa made it invaded and Shuki and the eight people ran to a bomb shelter.

01:02:03.920 All that stood between them, all that stood between them and death was the door of that shelter.

01:02:08.420 And he held it closed for six hours, never letting go.

01:02:13.380 These are the type of people the IFCJ is helping and Christians like you that support Israel through the international fellowship of Christians and Jews are helping them.

01:02:24.260 This is the support that, uh, that these survivors need, that the people, uh, need in Israel.

01:02:31.720 They need to also feel our support in tangible ways.

01:02:35.920 Hear more stories like this one and show your support for Israel.

01:02:39.340 Go to support IFCJ.org.

01:02:42.240 That's support IFCJ.org.

01:02:45.580 10 seconds.

01:02:46.120 Station ID.

01:02:54.260 All right.

01:02:58.160 So let me play some audio.

01:03:00.220 This is from a doctor that rushed to the aid of somebody who was trying to cover their children and save their children.

01:03:10.000 And he died protecting them.

01:03:12.380 Listen to this.

01:03:13.400 After I interviewed to the left and I got to give this guy tremendous credit was a army combat veteran.

01:03:20.720 And, um, excuse me.

01:03:28.840 He, after the interview, he came up to me and said, brother, there's blood on your face.

01:03:34.420 I said, okay.

01:03:35.760 And he gave me his water bottle and I washed it off.

01:03:38.000 And I looked at my shirt and I washed off as much as I could.

01:03:42.100 And, and then I handed the bottle back.

01:03:44.540 He wouldn't take it.

01:03:45.220 And then he stepped into me, put his hand on his shoulder and said, are you okay, brother?

01:03:49.680 And I saw the combat veteran across the room of his hat.

01:03:54.100 And I said, something like you've seen this too.

01:03:57.740 And he goes, yeah.

01:03:59.280 I said, I'm okay.

01:04:00.920 And thank you for what you did.

01:04:03.100 And we hugged.

01:04:06.040 The reason why I wanted you to hear that today is this, a guy who in the crowd saw a need, this doctor,

01:04:14.420 and went over and tried to resuscitate, um, uh, an avid supporter of the former president who came with his family and his children.

01:04:27.920 And when the shots rang out, he covered his children.

01:04:32.040 He was killed, but this doctor ran over to try to resuscitate him and bring him back.

01:04:38.340 It didn't work, but he wasn't the only one that there was, this is not an angry, vengeful group of people.

01:04:49.860 This is who Americans really are.

01:04:52.680 And I wanted you to hear about the veteran that nobody was talking about that just came over and wiped the doctor's face and hugged him and supported him.

01:05:05.920 It was, it was a moment of, that I, I haven't seen since, you know, 9, 12, 2001, the day after the World Trade Center came down.

01:05:19.200 That's who these people are.

01:05:21.440 And for those people who might be listening, who do not, uh, agree with me, or they don't think they agree with me because they've only gotten their news from mainstream media.

01:05:35.920 I really believe that that's who you are as well.

01:05:38.860 I really believe that most Americans, not the diehard, uh, political gamers, but the average American, they, they want this madness to stop.

01:05:55.440 They do believe that our lives are blessed and we're headed in the wrong direction, but not, we can't agree on who's causing it or what is causing it.

01:06:08.980 And let me just say, it's the loss of our values that are causing this.

01:06:14.600 And, and I don't mean go to church every Sunday.

01:06:17.160 I mean the loss of the values that are enshrined in our Declaration of Independence and in our Bill of Rights.

01:06:24.600 You want those to be restored and properly charged and so do I.

01:06:33.600 How comfortable are you, uh, with the things the way they are right now?

01:06:37.600 You're worried about the state of our nation?

01:06:39.240 Of course you are.

01:06:40.320 Uh, the upcoming election, God only knows what's going to happen in Chicago.

01:06:45.060 What are the downstream consequences be on what happens this summer and then what happens in November?

01:06:51.320 However, if you're paying attention to what the U S dollar is doing around the world, do you, did you know, for instance, that Saudi Arabia recently didn't renew their petrodollar agreement with the United States?

01:07:02.020 That means our dollar is losing the status of the world reserve currency that I've been saying would happen for a long time.

01:07:09.940 And everybody told me that I was a conspiracy theorist.

01:07:12.900 Well, it is happening.

01:08:06.060 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:08:08.020 You know, I have often said that Melania Trump is this generation's Jackie Onassis.

01:08:16.640 And Saturday, that almost became true in a completely different way.

01:08:23.580 And she issued a statement almost immediately after.

01:08:28.720 And I want to read it because I think it is the right tone and I think it's just beautiful.

01:08:34.300 She said,

01:09:04.300 To the families of the innocent victims who are now suffering from this heinous act, I humbly offer my sincerest sympathy.

01:09:15.380 You need to summon your inner strength for such terrible reason saddens me.

01:09:20.040 A monster who recognized my husband as an inhuman political machine attempted to wring out my Donald's passion, his laughter, ingenuity, love of music, and inspiration.

01:09:32.820 The core facets of my husband's life, his human side, were buried below the political machine.

01:09:40.400 Donald, the generous and caring man who I have been with through the best of times and the worst of times.

01:09:46.640 Let us not forget that differing opinions, policy, and political games are inferior to love.

01:09:54.080 Our personal structure, structural and life commitment until death is at serious risk.

01:10:02.600 Political concepts are simple when compared to us human beings.

01:10:06.560 We are all humans, and fundamentally, instinctively, we all want to help one another.

01:10:13.440 American politics are only one vehicle that can uplift our communities.

01:10:17.960 Love, compassion, kindness, and empathy are necessities.

01:10:21.780 Let us remember that when the time comes to look beyond the left and right, beyond the red and the blue,

01:10:29.020 we all come from families with a passion to fight for a better life together while we're here in this earthly realm.

01:10:37.440 Dawn is here again.

01:10:39.940 Let us reunite now.

01:10:43.260 This morning, ascend above the hate, the vitriol, and the simple-minded ideas that ignite violence.

01:10:51.220 We all want a world where respect is paramount, family is first, and love transcends.

01:10:57.200 We can realize this world again.

01:11:00.100 Each of us must demand to get it back.

01:11:02.900 We must insist that respect fills the cornerstone of our relationships again.

01:11:09.440 I am thinking of you, my fellow Americans.

01:11:11.920 The winds of change have arrived.

01:11:15.880 For those of you who cry in support, I thank you.

01:11:19.640 I commend those of you who have reached out beyond the political divide.

01:11:24.100 Thank you for remembering that every single politician is a man or a woman with a loving family.

01:11:32.240 I'm telling you, I think the Trump family is handling this absolutely perfectly.

01:11:38.260 And if Selena Zito is correct, we may see a different man in Donald Trump.

01:11:47.100 He's already said that he's changing the theme and the emphasis of the convention, at least his speech.

01:11:55.940 He said it will be a very different speech than it was going to be, and it's not going to focus on, you know, we got to get Joe Biden out, but more aspirational tones of who we really are.

01:12:09.660 Speaking of who we really are, if I may also read the letter from the daughter of the hero father that saved his family's life.

01:12:31.200 Yesterday, she wrote, time stopped.

01:12:37.040 And when it started again, my family and I started living a real-life nightmare.

01:12:41.560 What was supposed to be an exciting day that we'd all look forward to, especially my dad, turned into the most traumatizing experiences someone could imagine.

01:12:49.500 I know the media will cover this event, and I'm going to try my best to stay away from looking at everything, especially because I've already seen and lived through it in real time.

01:12:58.980 But I want everyone to know what the media will not cover and will not say about my dad.

01:13:05.380 He was the best dad a girl could ever ask for.

01:13:09.260 My sister and I have never needed for anything.

01:13:12.200 You call, he would answer, and he would do whatever it is you needed.

01:13:17.220 And if he didn't know how, he would figure out how.

01:13:21.380 He could talk and make friends with anyone, which is what he was doing all day yesterday and loved every minute of it.

01:13:27.880 He was a man of God.

01:13:29.180 He loved Jesus fiercely.

01:13:31.660 He also looked after our church and our family members as well.

01:13:36.340 The media will not tell you that he died a real-life superhero.

01:13:39.880 They're not going to tell you how quickly he threw my mom and I to the ground.

01:13:45.160 They're not going to tell you that he shielded my body from the bullet that came at us.

01:13:50.440 He loved his family.

01:13:52.000 He truly loved us enough to take a real bullet for us.

01:13:56.300 And I want nothing more than to cry on him and tell him, thank you.

01:14:00.680 I want nothing more than to wake up and for this not to be the reality for me and my family.

01:14:06.300 Yesterday, we lost a selfless, loving father, husband, brother.

01:14:15.780 I will never stop thinking about him and mourning over him until the day I die, too.

01:14:24.420 July 13th will be remembered as the day that changed my life.

01:14:28.220 And I will never be the same person I was less than 24 hours ago.

01:14:33.140 There are a lot of children out there that say their dad is their hero, but my dad really is mine.

01:14:38.980 I wouldn't be here today without him.

01:14:43.980 Dad, I love you so much there aren't words to express how deep that love goes.

01:14:49.200 I know you're going to give heaven some hell.

01:14:52.300 And I know God is proud of the man that came to his gates yesterday.

01:14:56.180 So what does this mean for us going forward?

01:15:12.920 Well, I think some questions need to be answered.

01:15:16.860 Questions need to be answered and people need to be fired or resign.

01:15:24.260 The head of the Secret Service.

01:15:26.640 There's been problems with the Secret Service for a long time.

01:15:29.980 And our president and our candidates are not safe.

01:15:37.180 Let me say this again.

01:15:39.360 If you don't want this to happen again,

01:15:43.020 our president and the candidates are not safe under the Secret Service.

01:15:49.220 They're just not.

01:15:50.220 I have been saying this for years, but it has gotten much, much worse.

01:15:57.540 This is the last chance for our Secret Service and Treasury,

01:16:07.920 our DOJ and FBI,

01:16:11.260 to save their credibility.

01:16:16.220 If they are not responsive,

01:16:19.540 if they don't give us truth,

01:16:22.740 clear answers,

01:16:23.920 and hold people responsible,

01:16:26.940 no one will believe them ever again.

01:16:30.920 They cannot fail on this.

01:16:33.720 Congress and the Senate must not fail on this.

01:16:37.760 And not because you want to assign blame,

01:16:41.340 but because you want to find out the truth on what happened.

01:16:45.360 How could these kinds of mistakes at this level happen?

01:16:49.660 Yesterday, if Donald Trump, or Saturday,

01:16:53.340 if he would have not moved his head,

01:16:56.660 the bullet would have connected in the center of his head,

01:17:00.880 and we would be in a very different world today.

01:17:07.060 But by the grace of God,

01:17:10.180 are we not in civil war,

01:17:12.280 and we still have our candidates.

01:17:18.820 Literally, by the grace of God.

01:17:23.500 Let's fix this problem

01:17:25.180 before somebody tries it again.

01:17:28.540 Not just on Trump,

01:17:30.380 but Biden or RFK.

01:17:34.960 There is no excuse.

01:17:37.400 There is no,

01:17:38.540 there is absolutely no reason

01:17:40.900 with a country that is in debt

01:17:43.500 35,

01:17:44.720 I don't even know what the number is anymore,

01:17:47.320 35 trillion dollars in debt,

01:17:50.200 that sends hundreds of billions of dollars

01:17:52.860 all over the world

01:17:53.900 for God only knows what.

01:17:55.860 There is no excuse

01:17:57.540 that we didn't have the money

01:17:59.920 to be able to protect the president

01:18:02.860 or the political challengers.

01:18:07.160 There is no excuse.

01:18:08.540 The head of the secret service,

01:18:15.480 her last job was head of security at Pepsi.

01:18:21.340 I'm not sure that disqualifies you,

01:18:24.460 but I'm also not sure that qualifies you.

01:18:27.960 And unfortunately,

01:18:29.680 it was a DEI kind of hire.

01:18:31.920 She's been pushing DEI

01:18:35.440 and we've had problems

01:18:36.580 with the secret service detail

01:18:39.140 that we know of

01:18:40.540 with Kamala Harris.

01:18:44.760 One of her secret service detail

01:18:48.460 was all DEI'd up

01:18:50.620 and was a little bit crazy,

01:18:54.660 it seems.

01:18:55.700 this is the most serious thing

01:19:03.420 that we as

01:19:05.940 people

01:19:07.720 need to look at.

01:19:13.720 It's not about Donald Trump.

01:19:16.200 It's not about Joe Biden.

01:19:17.680 This is about protecting

01:19:20.520 the constitutionally elected president

01:19:24.480 and those who challenge him.

01:19:27.680 We live in a very different world

01:19:30.680 and it has happened

01:19:32.580 over and over again.

01:19:34.140 The one thing that nobody

01:19:35.340 is really talking about

01:19:36.600 behind me on the set today

01:19:38.580 is

01:19:39.940 is the letter

01:19:41.800 or I'm sorry,

01:19:42.900 the speech

01:19:43.620 that Teddy Roosevelt gave

01:19:45.860 when he was going to accept

01:19:48.780 the nomination

01:19:49.560 of his party.

01:19:51.540 He was shot

01:19:52.840 and let me just hold it up.

01:19:58.660 In his pocket,

01:20:00.360 he had folded his speech

01:20:02.780 and his glasses

01:20:05.140 in a leather case.

01:20:06.720 Now, this is not the one

01:20:07.580 that he was carrying at the time.

01:20:08.800 This is another pair

01:20:09.620 exactly like it

01:20:10.540 that he had.

01:20:12.100 The Smithsonian has the case

01:20:14.140 with the bullet hole in it

01:20:15.280 but he had it

01:20:16.400 in his front shirt pocket

01:20:17.600 and here is the speech

01:20:20.280 and let me put this behind it.

01:20:21.760 You can see

01:20:22.520 he had it folded

01:20:24.280 and you can see

01:20:25.520 the bullet hole in it.

01:20:29.200 This happened in

01:20:30.520 Wisconsin

01:20:33.000 where they were having

01:20:36.140 the convention

01:20:37.040 almost exactly

01:20:41.400 the same thing

01:20:42.440 happened

01:20:43.080 as happened

01:20:43.960 on Saturday

01:20:44.920 as the president

01:20:46.780 is going

01:20:47.460 to Wisconsin

01:20:48.380 and then

01:20:50.060 after that

01:20:51.420 after that happens

01:20:52.580 our current president

01:20:54.960 goes to Chicago.

01:20:58.720 These are dangerous

01:21:00.820 cities

01:21:01.440 for conventions

01:21:02.820 historically speaking.

01:21:05.180 we must

01:21:07.700 secure

01:21:09.100 the president

01:21:10.420 and our candidates.

01:21:12.200 That should be

01:21:13.160 top priority

01:21:14.240 for Congress

01:21:15.140 and the Senate.

01:21:16.760 Number one.

01:21:19.140 Back in a minute.

01:21:23.000 Okay,

01:21:23.780 your God-given

01:21:24.580 freedoms

01:21:25.780 are up for grabs

01:21:27.320 right now.

01:21:28.380 We don't know

01:21:29.240 what our country

01:21:29.900 is going to look like

01:21:30.920 in six months

01:21:32.760 from now.

01:21:34.560 There are people

01:21:35.680 that have sworn

01:21:36.520 a duty

01:21:37.180 to protect

01:21:38.460 your freedom

01:21:39.100 and I don't think

01:21:40.960 they're doing a very good

01:21:41.780 job at it

01:21:42.500 and in fact

01:21:44.160 we are still now

01:21:45.660 threatening

01:21:47.360 with more war

01:21:49.080 we're threatening

01:21:50.600 China

01:21:51.240 we're threatening

01:21:52.660 Russia

01:21:53.580 we've gone insane

01:21:58.060 self-reliance

01:22:00.900 is the most

01:22:01.460 important thing

01:23:13.100 program

01:23:29.140 we have a

01:23:30.320 guest

01:23:31.140 Dallas Alexander

01:23:32.480 coming on

01:23:33.380 next hour

01:23:34.120 he's retired

01:23:35.260 Canadian

01:23:36.220 Special Forces

01:23:37.100 sniper

01:23:37.700 He has set the world record for his shooting in combat, and he said what happened on Saturday absolutely cannot happen without help.

01:23:50.180 We're going to talk to him and get his point of view on this here in the next hour.

01:23:56.300 Also, Jason Buttrill is going to be joining us.

01:23:59.020 There's a lot going on today.

01:24:00.840 The president's case on his taking the files out of the White House, that has been dropped now because the judge has ruled that the special prosecutor is not a special prosecutor, was not appointed in a constitutional way by any stretch of the imagination, and had no right to bring this case, so it has now been thrown out.

01:24:26.820 That's going to accept a lot of people.

01:24:28.300 Also, President Trump is expected and said that he would make his decision on vice president today.

01:24:37.120 The convention starts in Wisconsin today.

01:24:40.760 Have I missed anything, Stu?

01:24:44.060 I don't know.

01:24:45.660 There's so many huge things.

01:24:47.360 Oh, yeah.

01:24:48.280 Taylor Swift had to pause a concert because she ate a bug.

01:24:51.720 So we didn't get into that yet.

01:24:53.120 We can get into that coming up next hour.

01:24:55.340 Is that a real story?

01:24:56.540 That's a real story.

01:24:57.500 She killed the bug.

01:24:59.300 I think the bug's dead.

01:25:00.800 No one will even talk about it.

01:25:02.740 That's the only other story we haven't covered so far.

01:25:06.020 Oh, my God.

01:25:07.600 How did we miss that story?

01:25:11.760 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:13.820 Let me tell you about Rough Greens.

01:25:15.840 Caring for your dog can be an awful lot of work.

01:25:18.380 You know, you got to take him out.

01:25:21.520 You got to fluff the pillows for him.

01:25:25.340 You got to feed him.

01:25:26.900 My gosh, when will it end?

01:25:28.900 But your dog gives you so much joy and so much love that you want him to have the best life.

01:25:35.100 And if you're giving your dog kibble food, which I do give Uno, I thought it was good.

01:25:39.440 No matter how much you're spending on kibble food, it's missing some really critical stuff because all the nutrition is cooked out of it.

01:25:45.980 That's why there's Rough Greens.

01:25:47.860 Make sure that you get Rough Greens.

01:25:49.740 If you haven't tried it with your dog yet, please do.

01:25:52.580 It's a supplement that you sprinkle on your dog's food.

01:25:55.120 It has vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants.

01:25:58.900 If it's healthy for your dog, it's most likely in Rough Greens.

01:26:02.680 And my dog used to be a very picky eater.

01:26:05.360 My gosh.

01:26:06.520 This weekend, he came out with just a bunch of his food in his mouth and then dropped it on the floor just to be with the family and ate it off the floor.

01:26:13.900 So he's not really a picky eater anymore as long as it has Rough Greens.

01:26:35.500 We'll be right back.

01:27:05.500 Stay the strength and hold the light.

01:27:12.220 It's a new day, a time to reign.

01:27:21.580 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:27:29.440 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:27:35.500 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:27:39.040 Well, this weekend, a little bit of news was breaking involving Donald Trump, and we still

01:27:45.140 don't know all of the answers.

01:27:47.620 And this, I believe, is the last chance for our Justice Department, the Secret Service,

01:27:53.800 the FBI, to actually do their job, come clean, be completely transparent, and tell us exactly

01:28:02.280 what they know, when they knew, and all of the details on the shooter.

01:28:07.760 If they fail to do that, they will be a failed organization, and our justice system will never

01:28:14.940 be the same.

01:28:16.020 We go into that and ask some of the questions that need to be asked by Congress and the Senate,

01:28:22.400 and answers need to be had.

01:28:25.540 We do that.

01:28:26.360 Also, we have coming up Dallas Alexander.

01:28:29.560 He's a former sniper.

01:28:30.680 He has set the record in battle for the longest sniper kill.

01:28:36.960 He said he was watching this and looking at it, and he said something's not right.

01:28:44.240 There's no way this could happen.

01:28:46.560 We're going to talk to him about that in about 30 minutes.

01:28:49.200 Stand by.

01:28:50.220 We'll go there in 60 seconds.

01:28:51.880 First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

01:28:53.620 Wouldn't it be great if we, you know, didn't have to deal with this stalled economy and inflation

01:28:58.120 and endless wars and political bickering and now assassination attempts?

01:29:03.720 Wouldn't it be great?

01:29:04.800 And especially if our government had, you know, the American values at heart, and our media did as well.

01:29:12.360 The America that we grew up in is, right now, wandering around in the darkness trying to find

01:29:20.280 anybody that will support it.

01:29:21.900 Will you support it?

01:29:23.520 Here's what I'd like you to do.

01:29:24.940 You can take steps in a positive direction that will lead us where we want to be.

01:29:30.500 I ask you to strongly consider switching your phone service to Patriot Mobile.

01:29:35.280 Right now, you're going to get a great, great service and a whole month for free.

01:29:41.500 Great way to start your new service.

01:29:43.540 A whole month for free.

01:29:52.940 that everybody is on.

01:29:59.040 easy.

01:29:59.640 It's patriotmobile.com slash back or call 972-PATRIOT.

01:30:04.780 972-PATRIOT or patriotmobile.com slash back.

01:30:07.880 It's patriotmobile.com slash back.

01:30:11.800 All right.

01:30:12.120 We have Jason Buttrill with us, who is my chief researcher and also in charge of national

01:30:21.200 security and global wars and everything else that we have to look at.

01:30:26.780 He has extensive background in military intelligence.

01:30:31.260 And that's why, you know, you know, military intelligence is a joke because Jason was involved

01:30:37.280 in it.

01:30:38.580 But he was also, you were never the lead of my detail, right?

01:30:42.500 Of my protective detail.

01:30:44.080 I was never the lead, but I was, I was the manager on your detail and I'd led many other

01:30:49.080 details in the past.

01:30:50.640 Yeah.

01:30:51.160 So the reason why I'm still alive today is Jason was not in charge of the detail, but

01:30:55.860 That's good.

01:30:56.580 That's good.

01:30:57.000 Yeah.

01:30:57.160 Uh, I will tell you that we have had many, uh, dealings with secret service and without

01:31:04.920 getting into any of the details, but I would be willing to testify on it.

01:31:09.440 Uh, the secret service is in my view inept.

01:31:15.080 Um, it's nothing against the agents or anything.

01:31:17.960 I think that the, the people who run it, uh, they rely on money and technology and they just

01:31:26.160 don't think, um, and it, we, we have seen things that, uh, could get people killed quite

01:31:34.480 honestly.

01:31:35.180 Uh, we've experienced it with the secret service ourselves.

01:31:39.100 And I've been warning about this for a very, very long time.

01:31:43.360 Now, Jason, you have actually planned events like this with the secret service.

01:31:48.540 Um, you have been with major politicians and, uh, done major events, not only with me, but

01:31:55.500 with others and work side by side with the secret service.

01:31:59.140 How could this have happened?

01:32:00.860 I'm glad you had me on today, Glenn, because I saw a lot of speculation.

01:32:03.900 I think it's important to, uh, understand how these things happen.

01:32:06.980 Like, how did we get to where we got to on Saturday?

01:32:10.580 And I just want to briefly run down, I'm going to reveal a few tricks of the trade here.

01:32:14.480 I think it's good for, um, crazy people and potential attackers to know this as well, to

01:32:19.260 know how difficult it is.

01:32:20.240 It's, it should be almost impossible to pull off what happened on Saturday.

01:32:25.080 But as you know, Glenn, you've seen this work.

01:32:27.820 Um, an advanced team is always sent out and this is copied from the secret service level

01:32:31.460 all the way down to the governor's protection details all the way to public, uh, officials

01:32:35.340 or, you know, uh, personalities like yourself.

01:32:38.160 But an advanced team would go out and secret service go out weeks in advance.

01:32:41.440 They'd go out and they would set up a multi-tiered, uh, security plan.

01:32:46.300 Um, so basically like, let's say you see a president on a rope line and he's shaking

01:32:50.540 hands and, you know, patting people on the back.

01:32:52.820 That's political smoke and mirrors.

01:32:54.480 Those are not people that just randomly showed up.

01:32:56.920 Those are friends, family, highly trusted people that have been vetted.

01:33:00.340 Um, that takes a little bit of the sexiness out, but that's the same way as when Donald

01:33:03.960 Trump is on a stage that people right in front of him are supposed to be there.

01:33:07.680 They've been given access.

01:33:09.000 They have a wristband or a lanyard, um, they're wanded, they're checked, they're fully vetted,

01:33:14.460 trusted people right in front of them.

01:33:15.600 Then there's another tier beyond that.

01:33:17.340 They're usually high level donors.

01:33:19.160 Uh, they're also very, very trusted, vetted.

01:33:21.900 Um, they've been searched.

01:33:23.240 Then once you get beyond that, there's not a thousand secret service agents out there.

01:33:27.340 So they have to delegate to law enforcement officers, local law enforcement officers, SWAT,

01:33:31.980 just regular, uh, beat cops.

01:33:33.440 They designated those areas now, but as all these, this planning's happening, they also

01:33:39.660 identify further out threats and they, they identify, uh, uh, sectors of fire, positions

01:33:45.600 of fire, potential sniper positions going all the way up to like a thousand yards.

01:33:49.780 Um, um, a 130 yard sniper position, absolutely, which, which, which is where this attacker

01:33:57.180 was, would have been identified and there would have been several designated, they would

01:34:01.340 like say, this is alpha position, this is bravo position, whatever.

01:34:04.080 They would go through them so that they can quickly address the situation.

01:34:06.720 Now they would also in this advance plan, they would have local law enforcement guarding

01:34:12.860 those areas to make sure no one would gain access to those areas.

01:34:17.200 And they would be in contact with the secret service.

01:34:20.280 Now there's multiple different questions here that need to be asked.

01:34:23.680 As you said, in full transparency, knowing this entire complex plan, a, did the secret

01:34:29.960 service designate those sniper positions as they always do and as they're supposed to now

01:34:35.540 let's assume they did the second question, did law enforcement adequately man those positions?

01:34:42.420 It does not appear so on the videos that we've seen.

01:34:47.620 I mean, we've got tailgaters basically screaming at law enforcement.

01:34:51.740 The only thing missing was like a couple of beer cans hanging off their helmets and they're

01:34:55.620 chugging down beers.

01:34:56.940 There is basically what they were like, Hey, look over there.

01:34:59.580 There's a guy climbing up there.

01:35:01.160 He's got a right.

01:35:02.060 How did no one respond?

01:35:03.820 That breaks the entire plan.

01:35:05.940 There should have been a law enforcement officer or officers watching it.

01:35:09.800 So there's also, um, the fact that when you have a position like that, first of all, that

01:35:17.560 position, if it was left open, they keep saying, well, it wasn't part of the secure perimeter.

01:35:23.460 It was 130 yards away.

01:35:26.220 You know, when, when you are on rooftops and sniper positions, you don't have to be on just

01:35:33.640 the building right across the street.

01:35:35.560 You can be watching all of the rooftops all the way around that have any kind of angle

01:35:41.520 at that street.

01:35:42.440 So not only should they have had somebody there or at least had a team around and it looks

01:35:49.960 like they had local police and I don't know if local police failed, but they also, when

01:35:54.980 you have a position like that, and for instance, there's woods in this, uh, same, uh, venue

01:36:01.360 area, you always put up something that blocks the view.

01:36:06.200 So you would go up on that roof and you would say, okay, there is the podium.

01:36:10.580 So let's put up a big screen or a big sign or something that blocks that view from that

01:36:19.020 position.

01:36:19.660 They didn't do that either.

01:36:21.560 Yeah.

01:36:22.160 To say as an excuse that it was outside the secured perimeter is absolutely ridiculous.

01:36:28.680 I cannot believe someone would say that I've been at events where secret service was there

01:36:33.080 where there was a river hundreds of yards away, but they still had local law enforcement driving

01:36:39.200 Zodiacs up and down the river because they were worried about potential snipers coming

01:36:43.460 from a boat.

01:36:44.300 That was not inside the perimeter, but that was a potential firing position that they had

01:36:50.360 identified.

01:36:51.260 Now that's the key right here.

01:36:52.540 They would have identified all these positions, especially 130 yards with a clear line of sight

01:36:58.200 to the president.

01:36:59.100 That would have been identified.

01:37:00.960 There would have been a team of law enforcement officers or should have been protecting that

01:37:04.880 area.

01:37:05.740 Now, did they leave that?

01:37:06.920 This is the second question.

01:37:07.940 First question was, did secret service identifying them?

01:37:10.200 I'm assuming they did.

01:37:11.620 Second question, did law enforcement adequately man those positions?

01:37:15.100 Third, and this is probably the, the scariest part of the question.

01:37:19.460 Again, was there a law enforcement officer there?

01:37:22.560 Was there help given to the shooter?

01:37:24.580 Now, this is not a conspiracy theory.

01:37:26.240 It's a question.

01:37:27.440 It needs to be asked because we heard people saying there's the shooter.

01:37:31.720 No one did anything about it.

01:37:33.580 So they, look, this has to be done in full transparency.

01:37:36.780 Can you imagine, Glenn, and the JFK assassination, all these weird things that happened, right?

01:37:42.580 You have, let's just say back in, during the JFK session, there were cell phones and camera

01:37:46.180 phones and they're like, again, with their beers and their helmets going, look at that!

01:37:50.400 And they're filming the grassy knoll.

01:37:52.200 And they're like, hey, officer, there's guys in the grassy knoll.

01:37:55.080 We have, they're carrying, they have fedoras on and they're like, they have sniper rifles

01:37:59.180 and they're about to shoot.

01:38:00.820 Like, can you imagine if we had all of this evidence?

01:38:03.560 What would the conspiracy theories be like then?

01:38:06.520 This is what we have right now.

01:38:08.300 We need to ask these questions.

01:38:10.920 It's very, very rational to do so.

01:38:12.720 So, we're about to have Dallas Alexander on.

01:38:17.580 Do you know who he is?

01:38:18.920 Oh, yeah.

01:38:19.580 Jason?

01:38:19.960 Very, very famous sniper.

01:38:20.900 Okay.

01:38:22.180 So, he's a sniper and he says, there's no way this happened without help.

01:38:29.140 I don't want to go there.

01:38:31.440 I don't want to believe that.

01:38:34.440 Because that takes us into an entirely different world.

01:38:38.760 Yeah.

01:38:39.000 Um, do you believe that is a realistic possibility?

01:38:46.080 Okay.

01:38:46.600 I think it is a possibility.

01:38:48.800 There are also the other random possibilities that it was just lackadaisical security by the

01:38:56.360 local law enforcement.

01:38:58.200 In my opinion, I'm not jabbing law enforcement, but I don't think they make great security guards

01:39:02.740 because they're primarily reactionary.

01:39:04.640 The Secret Service aspect of security like that is not reactionary.

01:39:09.520 It is preventing the attack before it happens.

01:39:11.400 But law enforcement as a security guard is not great.

01:39:13.380 It's why the shooter, which I don't believe was a Secret Service sniper, may have only shot

01:39:24.120 after shots were fired.

01:39:26.720 You know what I mean?

01:39:27.720 Where Secret Service, you're in Secret Service, you have permission, you see a guy with a gun

01:39:33.260 pointed at the president, shoot him before he shoots.

01:39:36.040 Right.

01:39:36.640 Where law enforcement would need the permission to shoot unless he shot first, would they not?

01:39:42.760 That's exactly right.

01:39:44.080 The Secret Service is a different mindset than under law enforcement.

01:39:46.620 Basically, when you, they don't manage a situation with a firearm.

01:39:49.640 If you see a Secret Service with a firearm, it typically means someone's getting shot.

01:39:53.920 Law enforcement is completely different.

01:39:56.680 But I will not rule out the fact that it could just be very lax security.

01:40:00.500 Maybe they were big Trump fans.

01:40:02.120 Maybe they're not fans at all.

01:40:03.160 Maybe it was the exact opposite.

01:40:04.260 And they weren't as vigilant as they could have been.

01:40:06.540 And someone was able to sneak over there.

01:40:08.160 That is possible.

01:40:09.060 But the most random things and assassinations happen.

01:40:12.300 Who would have known that Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian activist, would have been posing as,

01:40:17.820 or blending in with hotel staff, and would have been in the right place at the right time

01:40:23.040 and caught RFK going through that private areas?

01:40:26.720 You've been through those areas yourself going through public events.

01:40:28.980 It's chaotic.

01:40:29.960 Who would have known?

01:40:30.880 You know, things like that happen.

01:40:31.780 Who would have thought that a crazed Hinkley would have, you know, looking to gain the

01:40:38.340 support of Jodie Foster, had no political ideology at all, just was a crazy guy looking to impress

01:40:45.560 a movie star, would have been able to get to Ronald Reagan.

01:40:48.620 These things do happen.

01:40:49.780 I want to ask you about the things that are being said now about the shooter that we really

01:40:57.860 don't know who he is.

01:40:59.220 I don't believe that for a second.

01:41:01.740 If so, what the hell is the CIA and NSA doing with all of the eavesdropping on all of our

01:41:10.420 communication?

01:41:12.240 I don't believe that at all.

01:41:15.500 And this ruse, this lie that, well, we just don't know.

01:41:19.920 We don't know anything about him.

01:41:21.280 We don't.

01:41:22.200 You know, it smells of the Nashville shooter.

01:41:25.240 Now, it's still early, but if they don't come out with the full detail on this guy, they're

01:41:34.520 going to lose all credibility.

01:41:36.600 And then where are we?

01:41:38.420 I want you to answer some of those questions when we come back.

01:41:41.400 First, let me tell you about CarShield.

01:42:48.100 It's CarShield.com slash back.

01:42:50.680 10 seconds.

01:42:51.360 Station ID.

01:43:02.660 So do you believe that we don't know anything about this guy?

01:43:06.280 Not at all.

01:43:07.660 I think that they're trying to make us believe that a 20-something has zero social media profile,

01:43:13.540 zero internet profile.

01:43:15.180 And I think I just read that they can't, they're saying they can't get into his phone for some

01:43:19.100 way or reason.

01:43:19.500 Yeah, I read that too.

01:43:20.300 Yeah.

01:43:20.440 Like, so the best hackers on the planet cannot get into his iPhone, which I do not believe

01:43:25.120 at all.

01:43:26.900 That's why, I mean, I saw videos of people trying to go immediately afterwards, once all

01:43:31.500 of his, everything was getting scrubbed, tried to even drive down his street and it was

01:43:34.680 already blocked.

01:43:35.560 So they're clearly blocking information.

01:43:39.200 But it does seem like the internet sleuths of the world, right?

01:43:42.500 I always dig up these accounts immediately after this.

01:43:45.760 You know, they always have the Facebook account.

01:43:47.120 They always have the, I mean, that's why I went on social media to see if someone had

01:43:49.660 found it.

01:43:50.060 And it doesn't seem like anyone has found anything on this guy, which is incredibly

01:43:54.500 odd for a 20-year-old.

01:43:55.580 But is it possible he's just like not doing these things?

01:43:59.020 I guess he was on Twitch or Discord or something.

01:44:02.300 And that was basically about it.

01:44:03.600 I guess it's possible.

01:44:04.680 But do we actually believe that?

01:44:06.240 I do not believe.

01:44:07.280 Wouldn't you be surprised, like, that just the internet sleuths didn't find it if it

01:44:12.020 actually existed?

01:44:13.020 And usually that's the way it happens after this.

01:44:15.300 I don't know.

01:44:15.920 I have not met a single 20-year-old with zero internet footprint.

01:44:19.660 That's a good point.

01:44:20.080 I mean, that's just like nuts.

01:44:21.900 I know.

01:44:23.060 Right.

01:44:23.740 I haven't.

01:44:24.600 I haven't either.

01:44:25.780 But it doesn't mean that he was on social media.

01:44:28.280 But you would know about his, you know, phone records.

01:44:32.600 Look, the NSA is cataloging and keywords.

01:44:38.260 You would know his entire friend network if the guy even had a phone.

01:44:43.860 Yeah.

01:44:44.040 I mean, the things that they can do now with the NSA and the things they do without warrants

01:44:50.140 is shocking.

01:44:52.180 Yeah.

01:44:52.700 And to tell me that we don't know anything about him except, well, he did give 50

01:44:58.280 $15 to act blue, but he was a registered Republican.

01:45:02.480 He was a, he was what?

01:45:04.520 He was a registered Republican and he gave money to act blue.

01:45:08.500 Well, then that's a sign of insanity for one.

01:45:13.120 And we do know that he tried to kill the Republican nominee.

01:45:16.740 So it doesn't, it doesn't usually make you into a good Republican.

01:45:21.240 Yeah.

01:45:22.260 At this point, I do not care about the shooter at all.

01:45:28.260 Like I said, Hinckley was not an ideological person, but he tried to kill Ronald Reagan.

01:45:33.520 I do not care about what his political affiliation is.

01:45:36.660 At this point, we have a major problem with both the current president of the United States

01:45:42.620 down to the problem, the potential next president of the United States.

01:45:46.400 The country is in danger or leaders are in danger because the system appears to have broken

01:45:51.180 down.

01:45:51.600 I told you how these things go down.

01:45:53.520 So when the details start to come out, was there a multi-tiered security system?

01:45:58.240 Were they checking credentials at each different tier?

01:46:01.660 Did they identify shooting positions and were they manned?

01:46:06.080 Keep an eye on those questions because if something is off there, then we need to just completely

01:46:12.160 have a full audit of how they're doing this thing and reevaluate.

01:46:15.860 And that's, and that's, um, uh, secret service head.

01:46:19.140 What's her name?

01:46:19.920 Uh, can't remember her name.

01:46:21.640 Yeah.

01:46:22.260 She needs to, yeah, she needs to resign immediately.

01:46:26.180 The head of that detail, resign.

01:46:28.400 The assistants under them, resign.

01:46:30.700 Get out of there.

01:46:31.740 It's insane.

01:46:32.320 At least even just for the, the look of it, you know, nobody ever seems to, they, they,

01:46:41.520 they pull us out of Afghanistan and people are falling from the sky because they're in

01:46:46.420 the wheel well trying to escape with the American planes and nobody ever is held responsible

01:46:51.800 for it.

01:46:52.600 No accountability.

01:46:53.300 Nobody, no accountability whatsoever.

01:46:56.140 You can't have a failure this big and not have somebody pay the price, but I, I'll bet

01:47:03.980 you nobody does, which will only lead to more conspiracy theory.

01:47:09.300 Yes.

01:47:09.960 Yes.

01:47:12.720 Okay.

01:47:13.220 Coming up in just a second, we have a Dallas Alexander, a retired Canadian special forces

01:47:19.080 sniper.

01:47:19.820 What do you know about this guy, Jason?

01:47:21.720 I just know he's got the record for the longest kill.

01:47:23.660 He's, he's amazing.

01:47:26.140 Um, longest confirmed kill shot in history, uh, from 3,450 meters.

01:47:34.300 That's 2.1 miles, 2.1 miles.

01:47:39.880 Um, and he just doesn't say this was such an easy shot.

01:47:44.840 This, this is an easy, Stu could make this shot.

01:47:48.580 Honestly, if he's ever picked up a rifle, Stu could.

01:47:52.940 I don't need to be the example.

01:47:54.320 Look, if you have basic competence on a rifle, you could make this shot, but our next guest

01:48:05.940 said, not alone.

01:48:08.280 Next.

01:48:09.280 Beck.

01:48:12.120 Uh, I am really, really grateful to have the opportunity to host an art exhibit that is

01:48:18.080 coming up at my student, uh, my studio in September.

01:48:21.280 You can find out all about it, uh, at glennbeck.com.

01:48:25.120 But one of the reasons I'm able to do it is I can paint again.

01:48:29.140 There was a time when it wouldn't have happened because of pain in my hands.

01:48:32.440 They were so bad.

01:48:33.760 I couldn't, I couldn't, you know, just move my hands and wiggle my fingers.

01:48:37.940 Like I'm doing now.

01:48:38.880 I couldn't hold a pen for very long.

01:48:40.900 I certainly couldn't hold a paintbrush.

01:48:43.520 What stopped all of that madness.

01:48:45.460 And I don't even know how is relief factor.

01:48:48.800 Relief factor is a hundred percent drug-free supplement that helps your body fight pain

01:48:53.320 naturally.

01:48:53.900 And it was developed by doctors.

01:48:55.860 Relief factor uses a unique formula of natural ingredients.

01:48:59.320 It addresses the inflammation in our body, which is where all the pain starts.

01:49:02.760 And honestly, a lot of our disease starts as well.

01:49:05.440 And it doesn't mask your pain for a short time.

01:49:07.700 It helps reduce or even eliminate it every day, all day, wherever you're hurting.

01:49:14.600 Try it for yourself.

01:49:15.700 It's relief factor.

01:49:35.440 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:49:52.640 And we say hello now to Dallas Alexander.

01:49:55.420 He is a retired Canadian Special Forces sniper.

01:49:58.540 He actually holds the record for the longest kill, and that is at 2.1 miles, which is remarkable.

01:50:09.140 Just the amount of math involved in that just hurts my head.

01:50:13.740 Dallas, welcome to the program.

01:50:16.660 Hey, thanks for having me.

01:50:19.400 You bet.

01:50:20.100 So you have said some pretty controversial things.

01:50:24.680 And I wanted to hear it from the horse's mouth, because you do have experience in this.

01:50:31.600 You don't believe that this was just incompetence on the Secret Service's side?

01:50:40.140 Yeah, that's right.

01:50:43.300 Can you make the case?

01:50:45.740 Yeah, I think, like you said, I have some experience.

01:50:50.020 But I did that job for a long time, close protection and protecting VIPs and stuff up to and including our prime minister in Canada was part of my job.

01:51:01.780 And I think looking at the situation yesterday, or the day before, rather, any amount of tactical professional, and, you know, I've seen the videos, and there was, I don't know how many on the ground from, you know, police and Secret Service.

01:51:21.360 And there was just, there was too many people there to not have the most obvious position covered.

01:51:28.860 Like, I said this before, children who play Call of Duty or go to paintball would know that that roof is the most important position, and that building is one of the most important buildings to secure, period.

01:51:43.440 Like, just not picking that up is impossible.

01:51:50.360 It seems impossible to me.

01:51:53.120 But, you know, sometimes the impossible happens just through sheer incompetence.

01:51:57.520 So what are you, in your world where you are, you're just wargaming this, I think it's important for people to know there's no evidence of anything yet except questions.

01:52:12.800 And what the question Dallas just brought up is 100% valid and needs to be answered to satisfactory.

01:52:25.640 We have to know why they weren't watching that if they weren't.

01:52:29.720 So what do you think would have happened?

01:52:32.480 Well, I think that, and this is what I said on a video yesterday, is that, and this isn't me pointing a finger at anyone in particular, or a party or an agency, but someone within, like, the inside, quote unquote, had to have helped with this.

01:52:52.280 Like, you can't walk through layers of security like that and then climb up a ladder to the most obvious shooting position and take a shot at, you know, the former president and maybe future president.

01:53:05.660 Like, there's somewhere along that chain, like, you know, I think there's talk of coming out that he had a van and there was explosives.

01:53:12.780 Like, details are going to be crazy for a little while, but just from that to having the shots happen, there had to be someone that helped with that.

01:53:25.840 Well, Dallas, they did say that this was not part of the secure location.

01:53:36.540 This was an adjacent property, so he didn't have to go through security to get the rifle there.

01:53:43.820 But again, you would have been, if you're a secret service, you would have been at least, if you're not covering that building with bodies and somebody up on there, you would at least be covering it with eyesight, would you not?

01:53:58.180 Yeah, absolutely, and especially with a covered approach like that, being the building sloping away from, you know, the other sniper team or whatever that could see it, it would be covered.

01:54:10.340 Like, I saw that just by, like, it flashed on the screen at a restaurant I was at, and immediately, I'm like, the two most obvious things, that building and then the water tower in the background.

01:54:21.240 And you don't need any special training for that, and yet there was a bunch of people there with special training, and presumably leading up to it in days before.

01:54:33.200 Hey, Dallas, my name is Jason Buttrell.

01:54:35.320 I'm Glenn's head writer and chief researcher.

01:54:36.900 Can you explain from the sniper's perspective, especially in a situation like this and close protection details, upon visual acquisition of an enemy sniper,

01:54:45.940 does the counter-sniper have permission to immediately take action and fire, or do they have to go through, like, a long process of verifying and then getting permission and all that?

01:54:58.620 Yeah, so that very much depends on the department, what the ROEs are, and I, like, I can't speak to the Secret Service when they're working with a police force.

01:55:07.880 I have no idea.

01:55:08.740 I know in the jobs that I have done, if there is a sniper position, and I'm a counter-sniper, sniper overwatch, yeah, you're shooting.

01:55:19.220 You're not waiting for someone to give you permission to shoot.

01:55:21.520 Can I ask, as a sniper overwatch, do you also, are you focused on a specific pause, or are you kind of scanning the entire horizon?

01:55:31.820 Yeah, it sort of depends on the mission and how many other sniper teams there are.

01:55:35.420 So, if you have a bunch of teams, you'll have areas of responsibility.

01:55:40.820 If you are tasked with watching one specific doorway or something, then that's where you stay.

01:55:46.320 So, it's mission-dependent.

01:55:48.860 Right.

01:55:49.760 So, Dallas, let me ask you, there was a five-mile-an-hour wind.

01:55:55.580 This is, you know, it looks like, by the grace of God, Donald Trump turned his head.

01:56:01.660 A, how easy of a shot was this for a 20-something, and how close did we come to losing a president?

01:56:14.960 Yeah, that's something I've been thinking about, you know, for the last couple of days.

01:56:20.780 It's crazy, because if it would have been just, you know, an inch or two the other way, I would, I just hate to think about what would have happened.

01:56:30.320 You know, in this country, in the whole world, it would have been very crazy.

01:56:33.200 But the shot, you know, I was asking somebody about this yesterday.

01:56:38.760 I haven't got confirmation on what the optics on the rifle were, which makes a big difference.

01:56:44.140 It's not generally a very hard shot.

01:56:46.020 I think it was 150 yards, roughly.

01:56:49.200 It doesn't take much shooting training whatsoever to be able to hit a head-sized target at 150 yards.

01:56:57.020 Wind definitely would play a factor.

01:56:58.640 I think the caliber was 5.56, even that, I'm not 100% sure.

01:57:02.220 But it's not a difficult shot, but it's also not unmissable.

01:57:09.140 You know, if he only has an EOTech sight or something like that, like, and you don't have a lot of gun training,

01:57:14.280 it's not something that you're for sure going to hit, which is maybe why he sent, I think it was five or eight rounds.

01:57:19.360 Have you ever shot and had them dead in your sights, and they moved at the very last minute like this?

01:57:30.700 How often does that happen?

01:57:33.720 Oh, from that range, like, that's pretty wild, I think.

01:57:39.300 I was very surprised.

01:57:40.760 I think someone telling me yesterday that they heard it was an EOTech sight made a little more sense to me,

01:57:47.600 because if they had a scoped rifle, you know, with any magnification, 10 power, or whatever,

01:57:52.880 it would have been very, a different shot, a lot easier to make, so.

01:58:03.040 Dallas, thanks for your weighing in on this.

01:58:06.600 I really hope that you're wrong.

01:58:09.080 What are the questions that we should be demanding from our Secret Service?

01:58:17.040 Oh, geez, the breakdown is crazy.

01:58:21.300 Like, there's so many layers to this, and it would be, I don't even know who started the planning,

01:58:28.960 how long ago it was, but to miss something that obvious,

01:58:35.220 again, there's just, I don't think there's an explanation.

01:58:38.380 I think it just needs a deep dive investigation.

01:58:40.880 I don't think competence, and I've worked in the government for a long time,

01:58:43.820 so I know incompetence, and there's a ton of it.

01:58:47.540 I just don't think that that is what explains this problem away.

01:58:52.360 I think something happened, and I think there needs to be, you know,

01:58:55.880 a gigantic deep dive investigation, because it's very, very shady.

01:59:00.300 So, you don't think that even incompetence would cover this, because it's so obvious.

01:59:06.900 Yeah, like, I think you could take a 10-year-old out there and say, okay, we want to plan security.

01:59:12.800 What should we look at?

01:59:13.940 And if he, it'll be a kid who played Call of Duty, he's going to tell you this rooftop right here is the most dangerous point.

01:59:19.120 It's overlooking where the president's going to be speaking, or the former president's going to be speaking.

01:59:24.740 It's just, it's cliche.

01:59:27.540 It's so obvious, those snipers will be that, and the water tower.

01:59:32.660 But it couldn't be just one person.

01:59:35.220 If that was happening, it would have to involve a team, wouldn't it?

01:59:40.280 Because somebody else on the team would go, Bill, what the hell are you talking about?

01:59:46.320 We've got to cover the roof.

01:59:48.960 That's what I mean.

01:59:49.800 So, I'm saying in all these videos, whether it's Secret Service agents or local police or whatever it is, these are all tactical professionals.

01:59:56.400 And even if their level of competence is low, it still doesn't matter.

02:00:02.000 That's such an obvious, basic thing.

02:00:04.060 You could take a Navy cook or whatever, and he's going to, oh, yeah, tactically speaking, we've got to look at that thing.

02:00:09.540 So, out of all the people on the ground, all the people involved, it just doesn't make any sense that that one position, and the most important position, arguably, was just not being watched.

02:00:22.380 And then, like a ladder, someone could put up a ladder and climb up.

02:00:25.260 It doesn't make any sense.

02:00:27.180 Well, apparently the ladder was attached to the building, so nobody had to bring a ladder or bring it up.

02:00:33.740 Let me ask you, the thing that bothers me is that all of the people on the ground were pointing and shouting, shooter, shooter, shooter.

02:00:45.300 Is it possible that nobody heard that, that it didn't get up, you know, to the guys?

02:00:57.780 I mean, if you're a police officer or you're in Secret Service, wouldn't you radio that in immediately?

02:01:05.380 Yeah, you would hope.

02:01:06.640 I mean, this is the part of it that I think could be, you could point to incompetence.

02:01:13.980 I've seen communication break down when things get crazy, radios not work.

02:01:21.060 Like, I'm guessing all the agencies there, whoever, local police and Secret Service, they're probably not using the same radio and gear, and there's probably someone passing along the message.

02:01:30.600 In chaotic times, I've seen communication be poorly executed to, like, a surprising level.

02:01:38.660 So that, that part, I could almost, I could almost wrap my head around it being blamed on incompetence.

02:01:45.800 But I just think everything leading up to there being a guy with a gun on a roof within essentially zeroing range of a rifle to the president.

02:01:55.260 To me, that doesn't add up whatsoever.

02:01:58.040 And they would have recorded everything that was said, would they not?

02:02:02.320 I don't know what the SOPs are, actually, like, for Secret Service and police.

02:02:11.000 The missions I've gone on, unless it was going to, like, a tactical center or something, like, on the ground, we were not recording our radio conversations.

02:02:20.780 Oh, okay.

02:02:23.760 Thank you so much.

02:02:24.820 I appreciate it.

02:02:26.560 No, I know.

02:02:27.320 I know.

02:02:27.820 I know.

02:02:28.720 Thank you for pointing this out and giving us questions that really need to be answered.

02:02:33.840 Dallas Alexander, appreciate it.

02:02:36.160 God bless.

02:04:11.460 You're welcome, or we're sorry.

02:04:14.260 The Glenn Beck Program.

02:04:16.380 We'll be right back.

02:04:23.160 888-727-BECK is the phone number.

02:04:34.880 Let's go to Jesse, who's at the rally.

02:04:38.500 Jesse, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

02:04:41.220 Thank you.

02:04:41.660 Thanks for having me.

02:04:43.140 Appreciate it.

02:04:43.700 So you were there?

02:04:44.460 What was the scene like?

02:04:46.660 So I was about 10 feet from the barricade just to Trump's rear right.

02:04:52.760 I was in the bleachers.

02:04:54.100 Oh, my God.

02:04:55.620 And it took me about two and a half hours to get through security.

02:05:00.000 But once you got through security, it was just, it was very unorganized.

02:05:05.840 You just kind of wandered around wherever you wanted to go.

02:05:08.580 And there were, like, nobody checked your tickets.

02:05:13.600 Nobody checked your ID.

02:05:16.720 And, but once we got seated, once the president came out and started talking, whenever the,

02:05:21.940 whenever the first shots started, I personally, I only heard three.

02:05:26.180 And then I heard multiple engagements of other gunfire.

02:05:29.360 And I'm guessing that was like the federal sharpshooters.

02:05:32.260 And, but, I mean, it happened so fast.

02:05:35.960 Everything, everything was over within 15 seconds.

02:05:40.360 And the Secret Service, when they, when they tackled the president, they knocked him over

02:05:44.780 so hard that it knocked his shoes off.

02:05:47.120 And I could hear, you know, Hawkeye is here.

02:05:50.680 Hawkeye is here.

02:05:51.440 And then on the extreme right, like there was a center, center group of bleachers right behind

02:06:00.220 the president, and then there were a set of bleachers to the left and a set of bleachers

02:06:03.980 to the right.

02:06:04.760 And it was on those far ends of each of those bleachers that those other victims got hit.

02:06:11.240 And there was a hydraulic lift.

02:06:15.080 They look like forklifts, but they, they're like 25 to 30 feet tall.

02:06:19.480 And they were holding big speakers.

02:06:21.160 And there was one on each side, one on the left, one on the right.

02:06:24.340 And gunfire had hit the hydraulic line on the one on the left.

02:06:27.520 And it crashed straight down, thank goodness, because if it would have fallen over, it would

02:06:32.040 have crushed all those people.

02:06:33.260 Oh my God.

02:06:33.800 On the left side of the bleachers there.

02:06:36.380 Jesse, um, hold on for one second and, uh, we'll talk to you here off the air.

02:06:40.640 Uh, just an incredible, historic last couple of days.

02:06:44.220 We'll continue to cover it tonight on Stu Does America.

02:06:47.200 Don't miss it.
