The Glenn Beck Program - Little Baby Steps？｜ Guests： Salena Zito & Erick Stakelbeck ｜ 4⧸8⧸19

00:00:00.000 Good morning, Hillary. Thank you. It is Monday, and there is a lot of new news out there today.

00:00:06.840 We have realestateagentsitrust.com that are bringing to you this wonderful program today.

00:00:13.560 If you are thinking of buying or selling a home this year, you got to go to realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:00:20.140 Glenn started this company a while ago with Tanya when they were in the midst of trying to sell a

00:00:25.740 home, and it wasn't going all that well. They went through and talked to some of the top real

00:00:30.400 estate agents in America and found some of the things that they all do. There are certain steps

00:00:35.320 they all take, and one of the things they don't do is spend all the money they invest in their

00:00:39.560 company into making their face famous around town. They make sure that they are working for you to

00:00:46.660 make sure your house is the priority. That's what the people at realestateagentsitrust.com do.

00:00:52.540 They're fans of the program. They share your values. These are people you can trust.

00:00:56.840 Go to realestateagentsitrust.com. It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:01:01.920 They will sell your home. Thank you, Stu. All right. Great show coming up for you.

00:01:07.480 The Biden bracket, got to get to that this week. AOC and so much more.

00:01:16.080 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:22.540 You know, I was going to say, nothing that the president seems to be doing on the border

00:01:27.580 is working, but he is willing to change, which is great. And then I realized, no, it's not

00:01:34.820 anything that the president is doing on the border. It's everything that the Congress on

00:01:40.760 and in both sides, really, the Republicans and the Democrats, they're not doing anything on

00:01:46.980 the border. And it's getting worse and worse and worse. And so the president is getting tougher and

00:01:52.200 tougher and tougher. We begin on the border in one minute. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:00.560 Security systems dissuade burglars from breaking in and entering your home. In fact, research by the

00:02:06.600 University of North Carolina found that if a house has an alarm, 60% of burglars move on.

00:02:14.260 That's pretty amazing. And what's even more amazing is how many people don't have a burglar alarm?

00:02:22.200 Now, that may be because you don't own the house, so you can't wire it. Maybe it's because you don't

00:02:29.820 want a long term contract or you've seen the price of what it takes for the 24 seven monitoring and

00:02:36.420 the burglar alarm. It's crazy expensive. Well, there is one company that is taking care of all

00:02:42.260 of that, and that is simply safe back dot com. You go to simply safe back dot com. You're going to

00:02:49.420 save a buttload of money. I mean, thousands of dollars in the in the in the term of the other

00:02:55.920 people's contract compared to simply safe with no contract. You will literally save thousands of

00:03:02.260 dollars. Simply safe back dot com. You go there, you pick out your security system. They have

00:03:07.980 different packages, but you're smart enough to figure out how many windows you have. You don't

00:03:11.760 need some sales guy coming in. So you order it. They ship it. It's a money back guarantee.

00:03:17.860 And then there's no contract for the monitoring. It's all wireless, so nobody has to wire anything.

00:03:23.500 It is truly simple and it will keep your family safe. That's why it's called simply safe. Go to

00:03:30.860 simply safe back dot com, simply safe back dot com and get a 10 percent discount right now.

00:03:45.240 Can't wait to get to our Biden bracket here in just a few minutes. Also, the latest on plastic bags.

00:03:50.020 Oh, what a surprise. They were wrong yet again. Oh, my gosh. And and AOC. I don't know if you saw

00:04:00.840 AOC this weekend, but AOC all of a sudden had a new accent. Really? Oh, you didn't see it?

00:04:09.320 Oh, this is exciting. Oh, this is good stuff. Do you're going to love this? She's become Hillary

00:04:14.620 Clinton. So we have that coming up in just a second. Also, let's talk. Let's start here on

00:04:20.980 the border. Things on the border are getting worse and worse and worse. And the media is in full

00:04:27.460 fledged denial. Did you see the story today about how and we'll get to it later, how the New York

00:04:32.760 Times, CNN, NPR, they are all refusing to say anything about socialism in any of their stories

00:04:40.540 in regards to Venezuela? They won't use the word socialism, specifically the New York Times.

00:04:49.240 I know the Washington Post did a really good story we highlighted here that was went in depth

00:04:53.740 and talked about socialism. It's a it's it's pretty amazing what they will do to not talk

00:05:00.700 about the real story. Now, how many of them are talking about the humanitarian crisis that

00:05:05.540 is on the border? We said one was coming. The president said one was coming. It was easy to

00:05:10.820 see. It's so easy to just take people at their word, see what's going on, see who's involved and

00:05:17.440 be able to predict the future. When when people say they're going to disrupt you, when people say

00:05:22.360 they're going to kill you, when people say they're you got my stuff, I'm coming for it.

00:05:27.340 You should pay attention to that person, especially if they have the means or people are helping them

00:05:33.160 with the means. They will do it. So now we have this humanitarian crisis. And what's her name?

00:05:40.380 Kirsten Nielsen was let go over the weekend by the president. It's kind of sad. I feel kind of bad for

00:05:48.940 I mean, in some ways she was going for a meeting and had no idea she was going to be let go.

00:05:54.940 Yeah, she was going in to present a plan as to how to, you know, to return to normalcy, 0.93

00:05:59.820 at least and read, you know, go back to the old numbers, because these are all new numbers.

00:06:04.180 I mean, looking back at the last few years, even you see that, you know, the typical average month

00:06:09.700 for border apprehensions is, you know, 30 or 40,000. It is crept up above that a couple of times.

00:06:19.420 For example, if you look at 2014, we talked a lot about this is when you went to the border, Glenn.

00:06:24.400 Remember that big crisis, even the 60,000, I think, even the media admitted that was a huge

00:06:31.000 crisis. And that was 60,000 per month for a couple of months. Well, last month was 70,000.

00:06:37.700 And so that was a very high, you know, anything above anything we've seen for five or six years.

00:06:43.780 This next month, which the official numbers get released this week, is going to be over 100,000.

00:06:50.000 So we're talking about potentially double the worst months of the past decade, and will be

00:06:55.980 a record. And this is what we know of. This is what we just, yeah, this is just apprehensions.

00:07:00.040 Yeah, this is what we know of. We're well into a million people a year, well into maybe we may be,

00:07:07.160 you know, a million and a half to 1.8 million people a year coming into our country.

00:07:13.140 Yeah, they basically treat apprehensions as a proxy for how many people are actually crossing. So the

00:07:17.840 more people they catch, they assume more people are getting in that aren't being caught. And that

00:07:22.200 certainly makes logical sense. But as that number goes up, you know, you're getting to huge, huge,

00:07:28.520 I mean, because you got to believe, we all know that it's not exactly difficult to get across the

00:07:33.480 border right now. That's the problem. So the fact that they're catching 100,000 people means you're

00:07:38.380 right, maybe it is, you know, two and 300,000 every month that are getting in without being caught,

00:07:43.680 not to mention the people who are coming here other ways as far as overstaying visas and coming

00:07:49.300 through different ports of entry. So it is a I mean, it is a if it's this is not a crisis, these things

00:07:54.840 don't exist. And the the system itself is being completely overrun. The Republicans and Trump tried

00:08:01.380 to put together a proposal to say, hey, let's expand all this, give us more detention centers, so we don't

00:08:05.340 have to stick people under bridges, give us more judges, so we can actually process these things. And they,

00:08:11.680 you know, the left rejected it. So now this crisis that could have at least had a plan to be solved

00:08:18.300 has no, no real solution in the future that anyone can see because the Democrats essentially shoot down

00:08:26.200 every single idea to try to solve it. It is crazy what's going on. Now they're saying that Nielsen is

00:08:33.540 going to be hounded at her next job that they're going to the left is she was so bad for the border. 0.99

00:08:39.520 Really? Really? She was that bad for the border? I mean, I think she was bad on the border

00:08:43.980 because we have this situation, but I don't really blame anybody. I don't blame I don't

00:08:49.180 blame the president. I don't blame the administration on this. I blame Congress. I blame the Republicans

00:08:53.660 and the Democrats on this. Yeah, I mean, Nielsen, it's she's in a tough spot here because she was 0.98

00:08:58.100 very, very loyal to the president, tried to execute everything that he did. All reporting,

00:09:03.320 all reporting points that direction. The issue she's very she's trying to do as much

00:09:09.160 as she could via the rules. And, you know, the rules are restrictive. So, you know, Trump wants

00:09:15.020 to get somebody who's more aggressive on that. Whether anyone could have stopped this, I don't

00:09:20.040 know. No, I feel bad for her. But, you know, here's here's what we've we've moved into a new age.

00:09:26.200 She's now going to be threatened at her next job. The left is already targeting anybody who hires her 1.00

00:09:34.540 is going to pay for it. How horrible is that? Here's somebody who goes and serves our country.

00:09:44.540 Plays by the rules, does everything right. And you want to destroy them. I mean, it is we are turning

00:09:52.580 into Nazi Germany. We are clearly turning into Nazi Germany. I mean, we are. Nazi Germany had other 0.53

00:10:00.320 determining factors, as you know. I know, but it didn't. It wasn't Nazi Germany overnight. No,

00:10:06.360 the little baby steps. It's little baby steps. And we keep taking these baby steps. We're devaluing

00:10:12.420 life. We're saying infanticide. The Congress has changed, has turned down a bill to vote against

00:10:20.540 infanticide 25 times, 25 times since they since they took over Congress, 25 times they've turned

00:10:29.620 it down. Just the 25, though, we're, you know, sometimes you're just not sure. Do we want to

00:10:35.040 kill the babies? Do we not? You now have you now have the government and mainly the Democrats going 1.00

00:10:42.660 after Google and everyone else and saying, hey, work with us, work with us. You now have

00:10:47.520 what's his name? Zuckerberg saying, I want more government interference. I want more government

00:10:56.480 regulation. You're starting to see that that system of information merge now with the United

00:11:05.140 States government. That's another step. You have you have the targeting of innocent people.

00:11:13.140 She didn't do anything wrong. What has she done wrong? If you go against it, they'll destroy

00:11:20.540 you. That's another step. We just keep marching. I mean, soon we're going to be showing up in black

00:11:27.080 uniforms with black boots and everybody's going to be like, oh, those are really nice. Do you go,

00:11:30.680 boss, make those? I mean, we are just marching toward it. And you could also make the point that

00:11:36.880 socialism was a nice part of the. No, no, no, no. Hitler wasn't a socialist. Oh, he wasn't.

00:11:43.060 No. I know Vox said that last week, which I was fascinated to understand because this is their

00:11:48.920 thing. It's like, you know, and you point out, OK, well, you know, that's the National Socialist

00:11:54.240 Party and indicates that potentially they had some thought. However, that is, of course,

00:11:59.080 a much larger conversation. I mean, Hitler said a lot of things that he was not. And you could go

00:12:04.360 into really investigate that. So we decided maybe it's time to actually put this down in one place

00:12:10.140 that, you know, is Hitler really a socialist? Well, yes. It started out as a two page thing 0.63

00:12:15.580 and I think it ended at like about 20. Yeah. It's on theblaze.com, by the way, if you want

00:12:19.820 to go check it out. And we're going to we're going to go through it today a bit. I can't

00:12:24.120 take this argument. I just how how are you missing the National Socialist? The only difference

00:12:32.320 between the communists and the National Socialist are the communists were international socialists

00:12:39.920 and the Nazis were national socialists. Yeah. And if you know anything at all about history, 0.76

00:12:46.000 you know, well, and most people don't, you know, that Benito Mussolini is the guy who said,

00:12:53.320 you know, I'm fighting in and in World War One and nobody's fighting for the international workers. 0.95

00:12:59.860 They were fighting for their friends. They were fighting for their country. They were

00:13:03.600 fighting for the the workers of their country. They weren't fighting for an international

00:13:07.620 purpose. When it comes down to it, you're fighting for you and your nation and we should

00:13:13.520 do socialism. We just shouldn't do it internationally. That's how fascism was born. Right. I mean,

00:13:19.980 you know, Goebbels said the difference between communism and the Hitler faith was, quote,

00:13:24.740 very slight. I mean, they did this. They said, you know, the Nazi flag is surrounded. The Nazi

00:13:33.300 symbol is surrounded by red because Hitler said we want to show that the the reds, the communists, 0.65

00:13:41.580 that we have most things in common were friendly. They voted the same way for years and years and

00:13:46.920 years before. Crazy. I mean, it's blatantly obvious that it's true. However, there's this sort 0.88

00:13:51.620 of revisionist idea that to save socialism, they have to make a case that he's not. And there was

00:13:58.260 infighting. I mean, this is very well documented that Goebbels was more of a socialist than Hitler

00:14:03.520 was. And he prioritized socialism over nationalism. I mean, and, you know, Hitler, I think it's fair to 0.99

00:14:12.540 say, number one, a lot of his priorities went down the train because his number one thing was killing 0.96

00:14:17.700 lots of Jews. So he sacrificed a lot of the things that he believed in for that, including things 0.97

00:14:22.600 like environmentalism. I mean, Hitler, the Nazi party was one of the biggest, really the first 0.93

00:14:27.180 environmentalist parties. Now, when they were environmental, big, I mean, big animal lovers,

00:14:33.000 animal rights. To this day, modern environmentalists look back at what they did in Germany and say it

00:14:39.220 was actually ecologically beneficial to Germany. Now, once they started getting in wars, they started

00:14:46.680 rolling tanks over lots of trees and they let a lot of those environmentalist principles go. Some

00:14:50.980 of that happened with socialism and they didn't follow the doctrine of the day all the way through

00:14:56.560 the regime. But that was absolutely part of their biggest argument is that he just took over. He

00:15:02.920 wasn't democratically elected. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's the way it always ends. Sure. That's the

00:15:08.320 way it always ends. At some point. I mean, look at Chavez. Chavez laid the groundwork. Socialism.

00:15:16.680 Then the next guy was elected. Then it started. They started having trouble. And so they were like,

00:15:23.080 we got to take over. And so they just either rig the elections or they suspend the elections.

00:15:29.580 That's what happens every single time. This this Democratic bullcrap is just that it's it's enough to 0.86

00:15:38.240 get the socialist elected. And then when there's trouble, they suspend them or or fix them. Yeah. 0.92

00:15:46.160 And eventually there becomes interparty squabbles. And that happened with the Nazis, where some of the

00:15:51.340 people who are super pro socialist. Well, it was if it was someone else with a power base other than

00:15:56.500 Hitler, he killed them all. All right. Eventually you get to that point. That doesn't mean that Hitler 0.99

00:16:01.020 didn't like socialism. And I want to show you coming up in a few minutes. I want to show you also

00:16:06.240 the disturbing things that were said on the campaign trail by the by the the left and every candidate on

00:16:14.880 the trail. Anything from the prime minister of Israel is a racist to again, the free market system

00:16:23.260 is what's going to kill our democracy. Well, we're not a democracy. And if you think the free market will

00:16:29.940 kill our republic, you're sadly mistaken. But you need to know who is running for the Democratic

00:16:37.220 nomination. And that was said by a guy I think actually has a better chance of winning than most

00:16:43.360 people do. We'll have that coming up. Also, the Biden bracket next first one minute. And then we're

00:16:48.740 back into the show. Fifty million people miss work due to pain. Pain has become an epidemic in America

00:16:54.720 started taking relief factor for a long time. My doctor said, you can't work out, you can't do

00:17:01.540 anything. And I was like, OK, well, I'm getting fatter and fatter and worse and worse. What am I

00:17:07.360 going to do? Well, just stop eating so much. OK, well, that's not helping me either. So I was not able

00:17:15.480 to work out just because it was just so painful. Now I'm I'm rowing and I'm walking and I'm feeling

00:17:23.340 better every day. And the reason is. Relief factor, it has played a huge, huge role in my life

00:17:31.300 and in my recovery. Relief factor dot com. I want you to go there now. Try it for three weeks. If

00:18:30.900 we put together last week dot com. And this is this is for you. Round one is today.

00:18:39.840 Now, we're going to announce the winner, the champion, if you will, on Thursday, which would

00:18:46.700 be the creepiest picture of Joe Biden. Right. Which one do you think it is? We have 32 picks.

00:18:52.640 There's matchups like it's a, you know, obviously this is hard today. You've got the oh, you've got

00:18:57.140 the biker one. The biker one. And the Alito going head to head. Yeah, you've got a one

00:19:01.580 seat. And, you know, the picture of of Joe Biden's hand on, you know, the knee of Sam

00:19:07.400 Alito is is a little creepy. But of course, the biker picture, I expect to be one of the 1.00

00:19:12.260 favorites to win the whole thing. As of right now, you can vote on any of these matchups

00:19:17.540 right now. Oh, spooky. Oh, he's got some. He's got some. There's some spooky ones here.

00:19:23.120 You've got the picture of the former defense secretary for Joe Biden, Ash Carter and his

00:19:31.000 wife, the hands on the wife there. You get a really awkward hug going on there with I don't

00:19:37.300 know who that is, but it's a really tight hug. The hand, you know, the picture with him

00:19:42.940 kind of like, I don't know, almost groping the teenager in the red dress is really, really

00:19:50.060 creepy. That one is that the one in the red dress. That's not even the creepiest frame

00:19:55.080 from that video. He like is cupping her breast at one point. No, he is not. He's not. There's

00:20:00.020 a lot of Photoshop's going on that he's not cupping her breast at any moment during that

00:20:04.940 video. However, it is creepy. And she she even notices it. The frame that they picked

00:20:11.480 was when he kind of looks down. She's looking down at it. He's like talking to the mom and

00:20:18.180 she's looking down like, what's going on with his hand right here? It is not pretty. It's

00:20:23.980 creepy. Joe Biden, you know, lots of close hugging, leaning into the to the 13 year old

00:20:30.680 girl, which is this daughter of Chris Coons. That one's out there. Whenever have you noticed

00:20:38.360 when I'm voting, whenever there's children involved, it almost it almost always is

00:20:43.820 unanimous. It shows you the results of the votes. You kind of figure that that is there's

00:20:48.820 one he's laying a big wet kiss on his mom. And that was weird. Just look, everyone loves

00:20:54.360 like you'd love your mom. But this is a wow. People are voting, right? People are voting

00:20:59.600 quickly now. It is again, you can go to Biden bracket dot com. And this we're going to reveal

00:21:07.560 the winner. You can only vote for round one today. Yep. So round one's today. Then we go

00:21:15.040 into the round of 16 tomorrow. I think the round of eight is on Wednesday. And then the

00:21:20.420 final four and the final game will all happen on Thursday, building up to the announced winner

00:21:26.120 happening during the Glenn Beck program on television on Thursday, which happens to be

00:21:32.020 the candidate profile of Joe Biden, the expose, the dossier. I'll tell you, forget about all of

00:21:38.840 the weird, creepy pictures of him. That is not what's going to stop him from being president. And

00:21:43.780 and I think I said on Friday, I think there's a good chance that he doesn't run because of what

00:21:49.680 we're going to expose. And I'm not saying that we're going to stop it. It's it's going to come out.

00:24:02.820 Welcome to the program. The Glenn Beck program. Pat Gray joins us. He just finished taping his

00:24:09.100 podcast, which you can hear at Blaze TV dot com. And you can you can listen to him on Blaze

00:24:16.200 radio as they tape every morning that you can hear it live. The podcast starts at 7 a.m.

00:24:24.400 Eastern Central. OK. Five months for Pacific. Thank you.

00:24:32.480 Hawaii time. I believe three in the morning. But thank you very much. Nobody's getting up that

00:24:37.540 time of day. OK. All right. So we have we have a lot. Well, you could be could be a very late

00:24:42.040 night in Hawaii and you could listen to you. It's true. All right. We we have a couple of things.

00:24:46.100 First, I want to I want to get to AOC over the weekend. This woman is an actress and she proved 0.87

00:24:51.940 this weekend a very bad actress. There is something going on with the Democrats. They are they are

00:24:58.660 inauthentic and this is going to be their undoing. They are arrogant and inauthentic. 0.99

00:25:04.800 Cory Booker, Spartacus, inauthentic. He's playing a role and he's bad. 0.97

00:25:11.700 Barack Obama, in many ways, was playing a role. He played a role whenever he spoke in front of black 0.95

00:25:17.900 audiences. His dialect changed. Van Jones, he says all the time he's a chameleon. He can change

00:25:25.680 and and morph into whoever he's around. He's probably the best at it. You had Hillary Clinton,

00:25:34.500 absolutely inauthentic. You have Elizabeth Warren. I'm a Native American. Absolutely inauthentic.

00:25:42.220 Now you have AOC. Now there was this great expose done by a guy named Mr. Reagan. I don't I don't know

00:25:49.820 anything about him, but we checked into all of the stuff that he talked about and it was right.

00:25:55.980 He he claims that she is a basically a contest winner with a with a Democratic progressive group,

00:26:05.480 a Democratic socialist group. They were looking to cast a role and she was the best one that they

00:26:11.900 could find. And so they have brought her along. That's how she won. Group is Justice Democrats.

00:26:18.140 Now, here she is over the weekend talking to a group, an African-American group, and she decides

00:26:27.600 that she's going to do her best Hillary Clinton and try to sound black. Listen, this is what 0.70

00:26:36.180 organizing looks like. This is what building power looks like. This is what changing the country looks

00:26:44.200 like. It's when we choose to show up and occupy the room and talk about the things that matter most

00:26:51.160 talking about our future. You know, Reverend, you bring up a funny anecdote and I'm proud to be a

00:26:58.540 bartender. Ain't nothing wrong with that. Ain't nothing wrong with working retail, folding clothes

00:27:06.620 for other people to buy. Stop just a second. This is insulting. It is. And no one. No. All

00:27:12.560 everybody worked one of those two jobs, basically. Right. But you're working at a restaurant or working

00:27:16.860 at retail. Everybody worked one of those jobs. And who is criticizing people that wore

00:27:20.620 bartenders or fold clothes? I don't know anybody. Nobody. This is this is so insulting. Notice how

00:27:26.820 slow she's talking. Yeah. And she's using incorrect grammar as if that's the black experience. 0.77

00:27:36.780 I don't feel no ways tired. Of course, referring to Hillary Clinton. Do we have the Hillary Clinton?

00:27:43.540 I don't feel no ways tired. I come too far. I don't feel no ways tired. All right. All

00:27:52.540 right. All right. I don't know how she lost. I don't either. I don't know. This is this

00:27:56.240 is crazy. Play the rest of the AOC. There is nothing wrong with preparing the food that your

00:28:03.860 neighbors will eat. There is nothing wrong with driving the buses that take your family to

00:28:10.060 work. Huh? Okay. Who said there there was? But who knew she was all of a sudden? So black 1.00

00:28:18.340 you want to talk about cultural appropriation. Mm hmm. This is, you know, wearing a dress that 0.98

00:28:26.300 you think, oh, I love that wearing a, you know, wearing something that is Southwestern, that

00:28:31.500 is Native American. That drives me nuts. It drives me nuts. That's not talking down. That's

00:28:39.180 holding up. That's not stealing. That's holding up. That's saying, this is great. What is

00:28:45.900 this? This is this is talking down. It's insulting. I think so. And it shows what a panderer she 1.00

00:28:57.800 is. Oh, my gosh. An actress. She's an actress. And a terrible one. Yeah. Again, a terrible 1.00

00:29:02.420 one. Just like Hillary was a terrible one. Yeah. It's agonizing. But, you know, her her brand of 0.99

00:29:09.500 socialism is is popular with with the millennials. And it's popular because the socialist countries

00:29:17.960 on this planet are doing so well. You know, like Venezuela, the people there right now. Well, they

00:29:23.960 might not be doing as well as it like. They are demanding right now. They're demanding power and

00:29:29.260 water. Oh, my gosh. Will these people. You want power and water? And water? Jeez. Can

00:29:34.660 you believe it? You greedy bastards. I can't. Why are you? Did you hear? Pick one. Did 1.00

00:29:41.080 you? Right? Okay. We can get you some water or maybe some electricity, but not both. I mean,

00:29:48.080 any moron knows if you mix electricity and water, it's a bad thing. Electrocution. You're 1.00

00:29:53.340 going to get you some electrocution. And you ask for water. Next thing you want is a straw.

00:29:57.100 Yeah. Oh, my gosh. And we know what that does to the planet. Yeah. Yeah. And you just

00:30:01.020 expect it. We all know. Thank you, California, that you have to ask for water. What do you

00:30:05.540 want? A socialist utopia? All of a sudden, I want both. Did you see Bernie Sanders coming

00:30:11.980 out and said, I am not, you know, look, I'm not a I'm not a Soviet style socialist. Since

00:30:19.640 when? You took vacation. You took your honeymoon to the Soviet Union. I came back and praised

00:30:25.360 it. Yeah. I mean, that's exactly who you are. He loved it. He says, I'm you know, I'm

00:30:30.460 more a Norway guy. That's not socialism. That's a big welfare state on the back of a free market

00:30:38.540 system. If you look, they are more free economically than we are. They have less regulation. They have

00:30:46.580 less of everything. They are able to actually start their own businesses in ways that we are

00:30:53.720 no longer allowed to. Could we also talk about those Scandinavian countries and the kind of

00:30:58.180 lifestyle they live? They don't live like Americans do. They live in tiny little boxes that are 920 1.00

00:31:05.020 square feet on average, which is fine for them, which is fine. And but and they love it, I guess,

00:31:09.500 because the rest of their money goes to paying for other people's education, other people's

00:31:14.400 medicine. I love this. I saw this documentary. Who was it that did it? I'll have to look it up. But I

00:31:21.560 saw this documentary on it and they were and the Norwegians were like saying to think that you could 0.99

00:31:26.800 make America into Sweden or Norway is ridiculous. We we are a different culture. We we were raised 0.75

00:31:36.240 this way. This is totally different. This is not America. And then how many people were offended

00:31:42.300 saying that they were socialists? They're like, we're not socialists. We're free. They're also

00:31:47.500 homogenized. Yes. And it's completely different than the United States. My son lived there for two

00:31:52.720 years on his mission. And he said, you know, love the people, though he did. They're incredibly racist

00:31:59.040 because they've not been subjected to any kind of diversity. And now they're being subjected to that 0.88

00:32:04.120 and they don't like it. And so I don't know if they're racist as much as they are pointing out

00:32:11.460 what's going on in their country. They're possible. They were very, very open. They're a very open

00:32:17.240 society. I mean, when we were there, you weren't with me where, of course, now you're just too

00:32:21.380 dangerous. When I went there of Norway. Yes. Don't don't laugh. This was in Sweden. When I was there,

00:32:28.660 we went to one of the suburbs and it's there. It's it's it's all segregated now. I mean, self-segregation.

00:32:35.980 The the Muslims are living in in one area and the non-Muslims and the the Swedes are living in other 1.00

00:32:44.640 areas. So we went in and it's where riots had been happening. And we went in with our cameras and we

00:32:51.200 were standing around. And all of a sudden, my security detail grabbed me by the collar and and

00:32:57.540 everyone they said to the car right now, right now, go, go, go, go, go. And they were rushing us

00:33:05.080 and they said we were on the verge of a meltdown. And you could see it in the camera shots. All of a

00:33:11.100 sudden, we were surrounded by all of these Muslim men. Well, we come home and about three months later, 1.00

00:33:17.880 see 60 Minutes in Australia was doing a report in exactly the same location and they were beaten to a

00:33:26.420 pulp. Wow. People don't understand. It is not a friendly place. It is that the the the Muslim 1.00

00:33:35.880 communities there are very, very militant and they do not want to become part of Sweden. They are there

00:33:44.160 for the free stuff. Yeah. And they're getting free stuff on the backs of the rest of the population.

00:33:51.100 Yeah. But I wanted to mention this new documentary that's coming out. There's a film from a British

00:33:59.380 director that's going to premiere 25 years after O.J. Simpson went on trial for murder. And it is

00:34:06.940 said to prove that O.J. was a victim of a conspiracy. Oh, my God. And he's completely innocent of the

00:34:13.240 charges. Victim of a conspiracy. I'm excited to see it. Do we know who who was behind the

00:34:20.880 conspiracy? Was it Michael Jackson? Was that what they were doing? He was with the kids in the

00:34:25.260 closet eating candy. Well, it doesn't say against O.J. Simpson. We do know this. We do know O.J.

00:34:31.100 was desperately seeking the killer on golf courses all over America. Yeah, we know he was doing

00:34:35.980 that. Where else? Where else do you find people slicing every day? Every day? Of course. Right.

00:34:41.480 Exactly. Well, if it wasn't for Ron and Nicole conspiring together, this wouldn't have happened.

00:34:47.000 Amen, brother. Amen. Hopefully they point that out. So bizarre. They're trying to rescue O.J.?

00:34:54.100 Yeah, he says it's a compelling case. And we shouldn't be rushing to judgment like we have

00:35:00.040 over the last 25 years. It's not a rush. It's not a rush to judgment. We rushed to judgment

00:35:08.360 the first time when he was on the road and people were standing on the bridges holding signs,

00:35:13.440 run, O.J., run. That was a rush to judgment. 25 years later, we're all like, yeah, he did it.

00:35:20.540 We've had time to think about it. Clearly, he did it.

00:35:24.780 American Financing Corporation, NMLS 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

00:35:32.140 All right. So every home buyer is different. And it's really important to avoid the lenders

00:35:37.860 with a one-size-fit-all approach, especially if their loan officers get paid a commission.

00:35:44.160 Most do. When you are working with a loan officer, they're not working for you. They're

00:35:50.920 working for you with the bank as its priority. Watch Mary Poppins Returns. I mean, you can

00:35:58.180 see it clearly.

00:35:59.680 Another important documentary.

00:36:00.820 Very important about the banking system. Anyway, they work on commission. American 0.73

00:36:07.380 Financing does not. And so they're really looking out for the right loan for you. And they have

00:36:11.680 access to all of the different loans. And there is a difference. As Stu has found out, as I have

00:36:17.380 found out, and thousands of our audience members have found out, American Financing can do it right

00:36:23.320 for you and not get you behind the eight ball. Americanfinancing.net. You're looking to buy a new

00:36:28.600 home. You're looking to refinance. It's AmericanFinancing.net. AmericanFinancing.net. Or you

00:36:35.320 can call them at 800-906-2440. 800-906-2440. Welcome to the program. We're so glad that you're here.

00:36:44.540 We have a couple of things coming up. I want to go over some of the candidates that are running. And I

00:36:50.020 just want to keep you up to up to speed on on how extreme these candidates are.

00:36:57.740 And I feel compelled, strangely, right now to tell you that you need to keep a journal

00:37:02.180 and keep a journal of what is what is going on and the facts that are going on and write

00:37:09.860 it on paper. Don't keep it on. Don't keep it on electronic, but just keep a keep a journal of

00:37:16.940 who's running and what's going on and what the news is every day. It's pretty remarkable. Today,

00:37:24.220 we're looking at Pete Buttigieg, who is now, strangely, coming up from behind. And he's this

00:37:33.800 mayor from South Bend, Indiana.

00:37:37.660 South Bend, Indiana. And he's this soft-spoken guy, but he is a socialist. Make no bones about

00:37:48.740 it. Certainly, most of the policies he's talking about now seem to be that direction. I love

00:37:52.720 to hear from people in South Bend. He said over the weekend that he thinks the free market

00:38:01.020 is destroying our democracy. I mean, there's a couple of problems with that. He is he's talking

00:38:08.700 about how the free market system is becoming an oligarchy. Well, that's you're right. And that's

00:38:15.560 because we are not enforcing the rules of the free market system. We have a government that has gone

00:38:21.800 bad and we should not have a democracy. We should have a republic. Democracies always die. They always

00:38:30.240 die quickly. The other thing I want to get into is that Hitler was not a socialist, that the Nazis 0.79

00:38:39.660 were not socialists. It's time to correct this and do it in a forceful way. And I started writing

00:38:46.580 something the other day, and then I sent it around to some of the researchers, and everybody started

00:38:51.080 adding on to it. And that thing became just like 20 pages. But it's pretty thorough. It's not as

00:38:58.320 thorough as as any of us would like, because you write a whole book on this. But it's a pretty good

00:39:06.120 cliff notes version on. No, he was he was a socialist in the and the Nazis were a socialist with

00:39:13.280 all of the facts. You can find it at the blaze.com or at Glenn Beck.com. And we're going to go over

00:39:20.260 some of that today, because I think this is important to correct. And when you say you were worried about

00:39:25.240 some of the candidates, do you mean candidates for creepiest Joe Biden photo? Because I'm very

00:39:30.120 worried about a lot of these candidates right now at bidenbracket.com. They're not switching to the

00:39:35.140 ones. Are people are people voting our way? Because if not, we got to take their vote away. Oh, no,

00:39:40.120 they seem to be definitely voting the way we would. I think for the most part, there's some

00:39:45.100 controversial ones in there. I mean, this is the first round of the tournament, right? Yeah. You know,

00:39:48.320 you've got a one seed. I mean, we have 32 pictures on this one. So it's like one seed versus a 32,

00:39:54.960 right? Like, although I will say that the one versus 32, I would identify as the Joe Biden biker

00:40:01.220 photo is the number one seed in the tournament. The 32 is a picture of Joe Biden leaning over and

00:40:07.100 putting his hand on the thigh of Samuel Alito. And if that's the 32 seed, I mean, you can tell.

00:40:13.440 I kind of thought that one had a chance to advance in the tournament. But go to bidenbracket.com. That's

00:40:20.200 bidenbracket.com and vote today. It is a day one tomorrow, whole new bracket. But we want you to

00:40:29.760 vote today. We will be revealing the winning photo on Thursday's television show that you don't want to

00:40:37.700 miss the truth about Joe Biden. And it really has very little to do with him being hands on

00:40:45.460 bidenbracket.com. You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:45:05.480 OK, so Pete, so Mayor Pete, he you wrote how he could hurt Trump in the Rust Belt. First of all,

00:45:13.480 explain who this guy is for most people who who may not know him.

00:45:18.000 So Mayor Pete has been the mayor of South Bend, Indiana since 2011. Youngest elected mayor at 29.

00:45:28.360 He has served our country. He is a Harvard grad. He speaks eight languages.

00:45:36.920 Oh, my gosh. And yeah, I know you feel really dumb when you say I know I can't I can't even 0.88

00:45:42.280 pronounce his last name. The guy speaks eight languages. He's he's deeply faithful. He's what 0.93

00:45:48.920 does that mean? Wait, wait, what does that mean? Deeply faithful? Yeah, he takes his faith

00:45:53.080 incredibly seriously. He's a devout Episcopalian. It's a very much part of his life and and how how

00:46:01.800 his worldview is held. Now. Now, remember, though, Episcopalians tend to be much. There's a portion

00:46:08.520 of the Episcopalians that are incredibly liberal. So I also think that's an important component to

00:46:13.540 understand about his faith. Yeah, that's a social justice religion many times. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

00:46:20.940 And so he's he's he's very accomplished and he made the decision that a lot of millennials make

00:46:28.040 and they come back not a lot, but a sizable portion of millennials to come and they come

00:46:33.480 back to their hometown and try to be part of of fixing of the problem. And so is he liked is he liked

00:46:41.880 in town in town? He's definitely liked. But he's never had to run on any national issues. He runs as you

00:46:51.520 should always run when you're running for local office, fixing the roads and the bridges and making

00:46:57.600 sure that the garbage is picked up. And does he do a good job at that? Does he do a good job of

00:47:02.120 that? Yeah, absolutely. Is there a good job of it? Has there been corruption in his town? And has he

00:47:10.540 cleaned it up? He has been working on that within his own administration? No. You know, it's all right.

00:47:19.580 So, yeah, he in terms of being a good city manager, he does a good job of that. And in my interview,

00:47:27.760 when I interviewed him, I also interviewed that guy who's at the opposite end who has to work with

00:47:34.120 him on things and they don't always agree on on issues. His name is Jeff Ray. He was a Republican

00:47:40.540 mayor from a neighboring town who now runs the chamber. So they have to work together a lot.

00:47:46.440 So I thought that was an interesting component to put in there because you have to understand how he

00:47:52.880 works with opposing views. Okay. So I saw I read an article and I have to apologize for the last hour.

00:48:01.040 I've been I've been I've been misrepresenting his position because I just heard the actual audio and

00:48:06.980 that's not what I what it's not what I read this morning. He is. Is he a socialist or a capitalist?

00:48:17.800 Well, I think he I think he tries to walk both lines. So if you if in my interview with him,

00:48:27.980 well, the thing here's what he has going for him. Glenn, he doesn't talk down to people. Yes,

00:48:33.940 eat a Chick-fil-A. Yes. And he doesn't have a problem with that. Right. And he's able to talk

00:48:39.840 about faith in an authentic way. Full stop. What he does not have going for him. And he's pretty far left.

00:48:49.700 In our interview, he says that he supports a woman's right to have an abortion in the third trimester.

00:48:55.500 He believes that we need to look at raising taxes. He's before a lot of these sort of

00:49:02.320 freebies in terms of of like health care and childhood preschool education.

00:49:10.720 How about college energy? He's he also likes to have it both ways on that. He's not very defined

00:49:18.420 on that. And on in all honesty, in my interview with him, we didn't get in there. But we did get in

00:49:24.000 there. And I think this is a really important component is that on energy, he's a solar and a

00:49:33.480 wind guy. And I said to him, I said, Look, we had 30% capacity last year, we have all these shale jobs,

00:49:40.820 and we have the ability to nuclear capabilities. He was not having anything of that. He wants to go

00:49:47.220 full solar and full wind and be able to develop a battery so that we are able to do that.

00:49:53.700 You would have a solar wind farm the size of California. Where does he want to put that?

00:50:01.220 I didn't say.

00:50:02.540 Okay, right in South Bend, I'm sure.

00:50:04.460 Right, right in South Bend.

00:50:06.040 But here's what's really important. Here in western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and other parts of the

00:50:13.400 Midwest energy jobs are crushing it. I mean, not only are, I mean, if you look at my story today in the

00:50:22.360 Washington Examiner, I interviewed the head of the Labor Council Board in the in the region. And he's

00:50:30.440 the guy who got Connor Lamb elected in my district. And he's the guy who got Pam Iovino elected in that

00:50:38.680 special election last last week. Why? Because he ran moderate Democrats who are fully supportive

00:50:47.040 of these of these energy jobs. We've got kids that walk out of certain high schools, who provide these

00:50:55.460 technical classes that are able to walk out and start making $70,000 a year in in in the Paris of

00:51:04.380 Appalachia, where I live in Pittsburgh. That's a lot of money. And that also

00:51:08.980 strengthens communities. And he his name is Darren Kelly. And he tells me, look, is there if they come here

00:51:15.820 talking about the new Green Deal? My guys are not going to vote for him. End of story. End of story. And I think

00:51:23.780 that that is the challenge that I wrote, we wrote about in the Great Revolt in terms of a 2020 election. So Democrats go

00:51:32.740 full left, they had a problem. So here's the thing that that I see about him that I think is appealing,

00:51:44.660 if America still is at all the America that I have always thought she was. Because I don't think that

00:51:53.460 the Democratic voters are haters. I don't think that Republican voters are haters. And I think they're

00:52:00.360 really sick and tired of being called names, of being taught to hate, they just they don't want

00:52:07.140 anything to do with it. And when I see this guy, who is gay, a that's a that's a huge, that's a huge 1.00

00:52:16.300 plus, if he becomes the nominee, that would be, you know, the first gay president. And you know, 0.97

00:52:21.700 it would be historic and blah, blah, blah, it would carry its own numbers with it.

00:52:25.220 At the same time, he he's gay, but he's not he doesn't hate Chick-fil-A, which, which I think is 0.56

00:52:33.560 so refreshing. He's still talking about faith, it plays a role with him, and it seems genuine. And I

00:52:42.460 think that's where Americans are, they may not, they may not agree with religion here and there,

00:52:48.020 but they don't hate God, and they don't hate church. You know, he's, he's a guy that doesn't

00:52:56.920 seem to hate America seems to like America. And he seems genuine, where where you got Cory Booker,

00:53:05.060 and all the rest of them, even AOC is, you know, with her speech this weekend, I think she's becoming

00:53:11.000 a phony. He seems genuine, and he's not going to, he's not a puncher. And a lot of people would say

00:53:19.740 that that's a bad thing going against Donald Trump. But I don't think you're going to punch

00:53:23.520 Donald Trump out, you're going to have to, you have to go the opposite way. And I think so far,

00:53:29.980 this is the only guy that I've seen that might be able to do that. Right? I mean, Americans love

00:53:35.660 aspiration, they will love to be part of something bigger than themselves. And that's the thing that

00:53:41.400 Mayor Pete has going for him. He's served his country in Afghanistan. He so he doesn't, like 0.97

00:53:46.960 you said, he doesn't hate his country. He respects people of faith. He doesn't, he's not condescending.

00:53:54.360 He like, you know, he lives in South Bend, Indiana, the same exact town that Hillary Clinton

00:54:00.020 needs to go to for an event at Notre Dame University. Because why? I don't need to win

00:54:07.140 over white Catholics. I got this. And he doesn't take, you know, these voters for granted. So he has 0.72

00:54:15.480 all that in his favor. Conversely, what he doesn't have in his favor are his policies. And we'll see

00:54:22.260 how he navigates that through a primary. And if he's able to strike a balance on a lot of these

00:54:31.300 things going left, he could be a formidable force against the president. But his challenge is going

00:54:38.500 through the primaries. I think Selene, it's going to be interesting to see because he's never faced

00:54:42.580 any pushback. I mean, he kind of has come out of nowhere the last couple of weeks, and so far has not

00:54:48.360 seen the wrath of 20 other Democratic candidates who also want to win this nomination. I mean,

00:54:54.040 do they have places to go? Because they can't beat him up on he's socialist. They are they're all

00:54:58.360 socialist, too, or at least believe in many of the same policies. What where are they going to attack

00:55:03.360 him? Well, I think they might attack him on being white. It might actually come down to that a white 0.86

00:55:11.780 male. That's a real sort of problem with the with the woke crowd. If you saw the slate story about

00:55:21.220 him last week, you saw the first sort of nibbles at that. And which, which they which they said, gay 0.78

00:55:29.300 isn't intersectional enough. Just being gay doesn't make him a guy that understands the plight. Right? 0.91

00:55:38.380 Yeah. I don't know anybody that talks like that. Can I just say that? I don't know. I don't know him

00:55:45.640 either. I have interviewed, you know, hundreds of Democrats just in the past few weeks. And when I

00:55:54.480 say the word intersectional, they're like, wait, what? Okay, so, so, you know, so, so Selene, let me

00:55:59.820 take a quick break. Come back in a minute. I want to ask you about that. I want to ask you, what do you

00:56:04.640 think is really going on? What the heart of the Democratic Party is when it comes to the people

00:56:14.220 who are actually voting in the center of the country? What are they thinking? And what are

00:56:18.820 they feeling? We'll come to Selene Zito here in just a second. She she's the one that got it right 0.98

00:56:24.260 on Donald Trump. And I mean, really right on Trump way early because she talks to people. She's not one

00:56:30.880 of these reporters. It just flies in. She actually drives the country and talks to people. I want to

00:56:36.100 talk to you a little bit about Norton, Norton Security. When I say Norton Security, you know

00:56:40.800 what it is. You know that it is a company that is a trusted name in the security online. You may not

00:56:47.200 know anything else about it, but you know that it's been around for a long time talking about security

00:56:51.720 and keeping people's computers safe. Now, Norton Security has just come out with a VPN. Norton.com

00:57:02.160 slash VPN. You may not know what a VPN is right now, but trust me, you're going to. I think VPNs are

00:57:10.680 going to become extraordinarily important as everybody is monitoring everything that you do, everything that

00:57:18.140 you look at, every keystroke as Facebook and Google is tracking you. A VPN stops all of that.

00:57:26.300 Yeah. I mean, especially when you not to mention all the data breaches, right? I mean, they had a

00:57:31.100 data breach that was supposed to affect 763 million people, and they did just revise it slightly to 2

00:57:38.420 billion. Oh, but that's it. But that's it. Just the 2 billion people. So there's no need to protect

00:57:43.160 yourself online at all. All right. No need. Don't worry about it. Okay. Yeah. Norton.com

00:57:47.140 slash VPN. Price starts at about $3.33 a month if you go for the year subscription. It's Norton.com

00:57:53.680 slash VPN. Protect yourself now. Norton.com slash VPN. Break for 10 seconds, then we're back to Selena.

00:58:00.740 Selena, as you're looking at the American people, and you're looking at the Democrats, they are going

00:58:20.760 further and further left. They're talking about the end of the free market system, an end to capitalism.

00:58:27.560 They are going for infanticide now, not just third term, but also infanticide. It seems to me they

00:58:36.780 are overplaying their hand every step of the way. But I don't see the reaction from the Democrats who

00:58:45.180 are in the country who, you know, for instance, you look over to England and the people who have been

00:58:51.560 members of the Labour Party for a long time are like, look, we're becoming anti-Semitic and crazy.

00:58:56.900 And I want nothing to do with any of this. But I haven't seen people walk away from it yet. What's

00:59:02.460 happening? It's really, it's really incredibly interesting dynamic, Glenn. So take a look at

00:59:09.900 AOC's election in 2018. She won the primary vote, which is essentially where the election is held,

00:59:19.540 because it's a Democratic district. And she won that election. But look who she won. If you look at the

00:59:28.700 exits, she won white intellectuals. She did not win minorities, she did not win the working class. 0.73

00:59:36.220 So the Democratic Party has become the party of white intellectuals that is carried by the press,

00:59:48.960 many of whom live in those same zip codes or share those values. But it's in great contrast

00:59:55.380 with working class Democrats, suburban Democrats, suburban Democrats who don't share those same values.

01:00:06.540 What's important to them? Jobs, job creation, the health and welfare of their community, which means

01:00:13.720 infrastructure, and just sort of a sense of peace and prosperity in the country. Those are the

01:00:24.380 important values among working class Democrats and suburban Democrats. When it doesn't, it's not

01:00:30.620 divided by color. You have to remember that a lot of working class blacks and suburban blacks in the

01:00:39.360 Democrat, within the Democratic Party are also incredibly pro-life. So you do not see them being

01:00:47.500 supportive of the third trimester abortion. And you don't, and suburban Democrats, who do you think that

01:00:56.940 all want Medicare, which is essentially Medicaid for all, right? Let's be, let's be really honest. It's not

01:01:03.020 Medicare for all, it's Medicaid for all. You know, that impacts their, their bottom line. You know, that impacts,

01:01:10.300 they don't want to give their health care up to, for everyone to have the same health care and for

01:01:15.820 everyone to, and for them to pay for everybody to have the same health care. Is this just mass delusion

01:01:22.860 on the, on the part of the Democratic leadership? They are appealing to what they perceive is the

01:01:32.860 ascending, um, uh, uh, electorate, um, um, point of view. They believe that this is what women and young 0.99

01:01:42.940 people, this is, this is what, what, um, the Democratic Party is appealing to. No! Okay, I, I, I didn't think so, but I mean, I just don't, I don't know any of,

01:01:55.500 I don't know anybody that, that believes in these things, uh, and, and yet I don't see, I don't see

01:02:04.220 Democrats standing up and saying, what the hell is wrong with you people?

01:02:10.480 Well, because look what happens when you stand up and say that. You get destroyed. You say that on social 0.97

01:02:17.580 media, you say it in a story, you know, I interview people and they'll be like, you know, if I say my name,

01:02:23.360 I'm, I'm, this is my life's going to become hell. You know, people are very, very reluctant to say this,

01:02:31.340 but I think when we look at the first results coming out of these primary contests, we're going to

01:02:39.260 understand much better how people feel. Remember this, and this was in our, in the book, The Great

01:02:45.400 Revolt, 34% of people who voted for Donald Trump didn't count anybody, not their wife, not their kids,

01:02:51.820 their co-workers, anybody. And I think you find the same sort of dynamic with Democrats, not that

01:02:59.740 they're going to support Trump, but that they're, they're afraid to come out and say, um, I'm not

01:03:05.340 16 year old voting. I'm not for destroying the electoral college. Thank you. You're listening to Glenn.

01:03:13.060 Appreciate it, Selena. Uh, she is, she is the best. We'll have her back on, uh, early and often. I want to

01:03:18.880 talk to you a little bit about filter by, uh, if you haven't noticed this, uh, yet there is a, uh,

01:03:24.040 at least in some parts of the country, there's that, that green film on your car. Again, that is

01:03:29.660 unlike one of the mayors and where was it? One of the Carolinas was like, and it was racist. They

01:03:34.840 sprayed our car with no, you just left it out of the garage. That's called pollen. Anyway, pollen is in

01:03:41.840 the air. And if you haven't changed your filters yet from all the crap that was in the air in your

01:03:46.900 house and trapped in your house, you now have the extra burden. You have pollen and you've got to

01:03:53.640 change your air filter to capture all of that. Otherwise your, your eyes are going to itch. You're

01:03:57.900 going to be sneezing all the time, change your filter and get rid of that stuff in your house. You

01:04:02.700 need to do it easily with filter by.com. They have over 600 sizes made here in the U S they have custom

01:04:08.620 filters. And the best thing is you don't have to go to the hardware store, you know, uh, to, to,

01:04:13.580 to get it and remember and everything else. They'll just ship it to your door and you'll

01:04:17.100 save 5% by have automatic shipping. It's filter by.com. That's filter B U Y.com. Just check

01:04:23.040 this one off your list. Filter by.com.

01:04:28.820 You can read Zito's article, how Pete Buttigieg could hurt Trump in the rust belt. Uh, that's a

01:04:34.740 well, we'll tweet that out. Also get her book, the great revolt available everywhere.

01:04:38.400 Well, our social studies classes are, uh, indoctrinating and churning out, uh, new

01:04:47.100 socialists and new, uh, democratic, uh, thoughts. And I don't mean democratic as in, you know,

01:04:54.280 the democratic party. I mean that we're a democracy, not a Republic. We are a Republic and it does

01:05:02.120 make a difference. It's very important. And socialism is a very important to define, but

01:05:08.860 you'll notice we're not really defining that. Um, people are trying to define that as a really

01:05:15.200 only Sweden, of course, not, not Cuba, not Venezuela, uh, not any place that it's failed.

01:05:22.000 Well, it's failed every place. No, no, not Sweden, not Copenhagen, not, uh, Denmark, not, uh,

01:05:29.900 not any, uh, not any of those great countries, uh, you know, way up North with tulips and snow.

01:05:37.400 Uh, that's not a socialist country. The prime minister of, was it, it wasn't Sweden. Uh, I can't

01:05:45.040 remember. One of the prime ministers came to the United States and said, I just want to make it

01:05:48.420 clear. We are not a socialist country. And if you look at the freedom scale, they are more free

01:05:53.440 in business than we are. They are more pro free market than we are. They just have a gigantic

01:06:00.980 welfare state. Now, the other thing is, is people are saying that Hitler was not a socialist and it

01:06:07.600 is important for people to know that there are many forms of socialism, but they all end up the same

01:06:14.640 way because eventually you run out of somebody else's money and you can't, you can't keep the

01:06:21.120 system going. And also as our founders knew, when you put somebody really in charge and you make them

01:06:27.880 a God, that's trouble. That's why all of our presidents recently have had way too much power. 0.71

01:06:35.360 So we, we put together something because the Vox said, you know, the Nazis weren't socialists and they

01:06:41.160 did this big piece on it. And I started writing something. I started sending it around to the

01:06:44.400 researchers on the team and everybody was like, no, no, no, we got to add this. No, we got to add

01:06:48.140 this. So it ended up to be less of a cliff notes version, but we could write a whole book on it.

01:06:54.520 But I want to give you the, some of the highlights it's available today at the blaze.com. Yes,

01:06:58.840 Virginia, Hitler really was a socialist. People are saying that the Nazis were not socialists.

01:07:05.940 Let me just give you some of the, uh, the facts. Uh, and they say that, that, that, you know, they

01:07:11.640 were, they were not socialists because of, you know, uh, several reasons. Uh, they were anti-communist,

01:07:19.760 they were anti-Marxist, they were racist, they were nationalists, they were fascists. Well, let's, 0.89

01:07:26.320 let's, let's take this one at a time. First of all, were the Nazis socialists? Well, yes, you know,

01:07:33.100 Nazi was a pejorative. You didn't say that in the paper. You never called them Nazis.

01:07:38.660 The Nazis, that was a pejorative word. They were the national socialists. That's what they were.

01:07:46.820 And if you look back, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party were very clearly socialist.

01:07:53.440 They were, they, they, in fact, let me just give you this in, um, in, I think it was 1923, 1920,

01:08:06.620 uh, 1920, here it is 1920. They, they put together their basic declaration of independence, 25 points

01:08:15.400 of what they wanted. And yes, it's riddled with anti-Semitic stuff, but I want you to listen to

01:08:20.680 this because this is what Hitler, he arranged this meeting of 2000 people and he stood up and he

01:08:26.200 said, here's our platform. And later on, refused to change a word of it. No, all the way to his death.

01:08:31.980 Not one word of this platform was ever changed. We demand that the state be charged first with

01:08:37.640 providing the opportunity for a livelihood and a way of life for the citizens. That can be found now in

01:08:43.720 the new green deal. The first obligation of every citizen must be to productively work mentally and

01:08:50.100 physically. That is in the communist constitution. The activity of individuals is not to counteract the

01:08:57.520 interest of the universality, the state, but must have its result within the framework of the whole

01:09:03.220 for the benefit of all. Does that sound like, uh, communism? Does that sound like what's happening

01:09:12.000 in Venezuela? We demand the breaking of debt interest slavery. Does that sound like the

01:09:17.760 socialists here in consideration of the monstrous sacrifice in property and blood that each war

01:09:23.300 demands of the people? Personal enrichment through war must be designated as a crime against the people.

01:09:29.360 We demand total confiscation of all war profits. We demand the nationalization of all previous

01:09:35.340 associated industries. Now listen to that. Do you hear Elizabeth Warren and others calling

01:09:41.820 for the nationalization of certain industries? Yes. We demand the expansion on a large scale of old age

01:09:52.140 welfare. We're talking about that now. We demand the immediate communalization of the great warehouses

01:09:59.360 and their being leased at low cost to small firms. The utmost consideration of all small firms in

01:10:06.080 contracts with the state, county, or municipality. The state has been responsible for the

01:10:11.560 fundamental reconstruction of our whole national education program. Does that sound familiar like

01:10:18.420 pre-universal education? That they are in total control? The comprehension of the concept of the

01:10:26.240 state must be striven for by the school as early as the beginning of understanding. We demand the

01:10:32.560 education at the expense of the state of outstanding intellectual gifted children of poor parents.

01:10:39.060 We demand legal opposition to known lies and their promulgation through the press.

01:10:47.500 Publications which are counter to the general good are to be forbidden. The good of the community

01:10:53.980 before the good of the individual. For the execution of all of this, we demand the formation of a strong

01:11:00.000 centralized power. This was their declaration of independence. This was what they said they wanted.

01:11:08.860 And again, this was put into place in the 1920s and it never ever was changed. He didn't change even

01:11:18.880 after he became a dictator. Not a single word. Now, one of the arguments is as well, they weren't the

01:11:24.560 true socialist party. There were already socialist and communist parties. Yes, just as there are now.

01:11:30.300 They're the democratic socialist here in America. The socialist party, the green party, the communist party.

01:11:36.640 That doesn't mean you can't start a new, you know, socialist party today. And it doesn't mean that

01:11:41.820 they're not all socialists. They all are socialists. The Nazis were fascist, not socialists is another

01:11:49.680 argument. And we know that socialism is left wing. No, the origins of right and left really important.

01:11:58.960 And this is European because it started on the tennis courts of King Louis before the French

01:12:06.380 revolution. The lords and the and the and the ladies and the courtier were all they were all

01:12:12.280 seated on the tennis court. And what was what happened was those who were loyal to the king

01:12:19.580 were on the right. Those who favored a people's independence and democracy were on the left.

01:12:25.480 Well, OK, wait a minute. You're telling me that people who believe in the Constitution would accept

01:12:33.740 a king or a dictator. I don't care who it was. What George Washington was against a king and a

01:12:42.760 dictator and a dictator. And anyone who claims to be and is a constitutionalist is against all of that.

01:12:49.680 They were fascists. They weren't socialists. Well, no, they were the National Socialist Party.

01:13:04.760 Fascism, you know, wasn't really. You could look through all of the newspapers of the past,

01:13:11.740 every single newspaper of the past. They were always called the National Socialist Workers Party.

01:13:18.740 That's what they were called. Mussolini referred to himself in his own diaries 12 days before he died

01:13:26.800 and was hung by a piano wire. He claimed he was a socialist. Well, was he a fascist? Yes.

01:13:34.260 Was he also a socialist? Yes. His party was the Italian Social Republic.

01:13:41.900 Well, Nazis only adopted the title of socialist for political reasons.

01:13:45.400 No, actually, a more fair assessment was that they were socialists and they also had other ideas like

01:13:56.500 anti-Semitism. Every socialist leader at the time started the same way.

01:14:02.720 They start with these grand, big ideas and it's all going to be utopia and then they try them out

01:14:07.440 and then it doesn't work and it doesn't it doesn't achieve anything that's practical in the real world.

01:14:14.800 And so instead they become a dictator and they turn to violence and torture and autocratic rule

01:14:21.620 to maintain their vision. This has happened. Ask Mao, ask Stalin, ask Maduro, ask President Xi,

01:14:27.500 ask Castro, Che, Lenin, Hitler.

01:14:31.320 Hitler. This is the way it ends. The Nazis were staunchly anti-

01:14:37.560 Quickly on that last one. I think a lot of people have trouble with that

01:14:40.840 because Hitler did prioritize other parts of his platform of national socialism at many different

01:14:48.140 points during his career. But it's like, you know, a lot of people, especially on the left,

01:14:52.080 like people at Vox and stuff don't, you know, have trouble with this one.

01:14:54.900 But it's like, if you were to ask, like, what's your favorite, do you like peanut butter or jelly better?

01:15:00.220 Peanut butter.

01:15:00.960 Peanut butter. Does that mean you don't like jelly?

01:15:03.860 No.

01:15:04.020 Like, if you like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and you say you like peanut butter more than jelly,

01:15:08.780 that does not mean you don't like jelly. You're still eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

01:15:12.680 And this idea that you can't have more than one priority is something that is only utilized by people

01:15:21.020 who are trying to make a fraudulent argument on this.

01:15:23.700 Like, they try to make it look like, well, at times, they say there's a lot about communism.

01:15:28.740 Well, he was against communists. And that supposedly makes him, you know, anti-socialism, anti-communism.

01:15:35.320 Well, that's just not the truth. They voted the same way. A lot of the programs were the same.

01:15:39.120 They weren't an identical party. And the fact that he killed, I mean, people who are very similar

01:15:44.740 kill each other all the time. I mean, look at the Middle East. 1.00

01:15:48.400 You have people who have slight differences in religion and they wind up in, you know, multi-century battles over it.

01:15:55.220 It's like saying that Iran is not an Islamic country because Saudi Arabia is an Islamic country.

01:16:01.980 Right.

01:16:02.400 And they don't like each other.

01:16:03.720 Right.

01:16:04.000 Well, no, they have different versions.

01:16:06.280 Yes.

01:16:06.460 You know, they're both, in my opinion, just as twisted, but they are enemies.

01:16:12.880 And that is the difference between national socialism and international socialism, which is communism.

01:16:19.680 And then combine those mild differences with a power struggle.

01:16:22.520 You get lots of murders. And that's what happened in this case.

01:16:25.720 Yes. Nazis were racist. 0.96

01:16:27.960 And we all know that socialism, socialists aren't racist.

01:16:30.800 What? What? First of all, let's look at their racism.

01:16:37.340 Yes, they were very, very racist.

01:16:39.680 But this comes from Marx.

01:16:41.480 Marx, the Jewish question, 1844, an essay, the Jewish question.

01:16:50.620 What is the worldly religion of the Jew?

01:16:52.800 Huckstering.

01:16:53.920 What is the worldly God?

01:16:55.920 Money.

01:16:57.480 I mean, it just goes on and on and on.

01:16:59.540 You can read this at the blaze.

01:17:01.780 But please, please, socialism needs a boogeyman.

01:17:06.680 It needs one.

01:17:08.160 It has to have an enemy of the people.

01:17:11.100 And so they each find their own enemy of the people in the Americanized version of socialism.

01:17:17.780 It's Gordon Gekko or Donald Trump or even the white man, the banker, the Jew. 0.85

01:17:23.640 You're seeing the Jew happen again over and over and over. 1.00

01:17:28.220 It has to. 0.89

01:17:31.920 It becomes racist because you need to shove people and people don't like to kill other people.

01:17:38.340 But eventually you have to get there.

01:17:41.460 It's why we're seeing such hatred.

01:17:44.000 Today, the Communist Party is rounding up Christians and Muslims and Uyghurs, placing them in concentration camps. 0.54

01:17:51.220 Hitler had the same thing today. 0.93

01:17:54.680 Today, the Chinese leader Z is doing it with Facebook and Google. 0.77

01:17:59.840 You have racism, socialists, Margaret Sanger, anti-black, Bernard Shaw.

01:18:07.640 Everybody loves George Bernard Shaw.

01:18:09.560 He was the first to dream up using a gas chamber to, quote, gently and humanely remove those from society that were no longer having a productive use.

01:18:21.560 And Richard Spencer, I'm going to leave it at him.

01:18:25.240 Richard Spencer, he's the American Nazi.

01:18:28.580 And that's right wing, correct? 0.85

01:18:30.140 Richard Spencer is a Nazi that rejects the U.S. Constitution.

01:18:38.220 He does not believe in the Bill of Rights.

01:18:42.040 He is pro-universal health care.

01:18:44.940 He is pro-free, segregated college education.

01:18:50.180 He is in favor of government-funded abortions.

01:18:54.140 He's not right wing.

01:18:55.740 You take away his virulent racism and he's a supporter of Bernie Sanders or AOC.

01:19:03.840 It's important that we learn what socialism leads to every time because socialism is merely a stepping stone.

01:19:14.040 A welfare state is different than socialism.

01:19:19.080 All right.

01:19:20.060 Let me tell you a little bit about Delta Defense.

01:19:22.280 That is, that is, the United States Concealed Carry Association, they want people to hit the range tomorrow with a brand new gun.

01:19:32.360 They want to have a conversation with you, but they thought, you know, let's start this conversation the right way.

01:19:38.140 Let's see if we can get you a brand new gun. 0.96

01:19:40.180 So they're giving away 19 free guns.

01:19:43.620 So what kind of gun is it?

01:19:45.880 It is one of the most popular double-action pistols in the world today.

01:19:50.020 It's often the gun choice of law enforcement officers, civilians, and our military.

01:19:56.560 Its accuracy makes it an ideal concealed carry gun, and it can be used as a perfect training gun right out of the box.

01:20:04.480 It's also the gun I am the best shot at.

01:20:07.660 What gun is it?

01:20:08.600 All you have to do is text the word BECK to 87222.

01:20:13.680 You do that right now.

01:20:14.720 It will reveal the identity of the gun.

01:20:16.660 It will lock in your 19 free chances to win it this week.

01:20:21.100 It's BECK, B-E-C-K, at 87222.

01:20:25.600 It will also send you some information on why you should join the United States Concealed Carry Association.

01:20:30.360 Just text the word BECK to 87222.

01:20:37.340 87222.

01:20:38.480 Use the word BECK and lock in your 19 chances to win a brand new gun.

01:20:45.600 All right, Glenn, we have a quick game of guess the candidate.

01:20:47.940 You know there's 18 candidates on the board.

01:20:49.300 I'm going to give you a quick quote on a couple of policy positions.

01:20:51.560 You have to guess which candidate this was.

01:20:53.200 All right, go ahead.

01:20:53.860 I believe in some form of universal basic income.

01:20:57.100 I'm pro single-payer health care.

01:21:00.380 All of them?

01:21:02.080 Well, most, yeah, I think pretty much all of them would fit.

01:21:05.160 Do you want to take a guess at a specific?

01:21:07.040 Give it to me again quickly.

01:21:08.500 I believe in some form of universal basic income.

01:21:10.900 I'm pro single-payer health care.

01:21:12.800 Well, Bernie Sanders.

01:21:14.100 No, Richard Spencer, head of the alt-right.

01:21:16.500 That is a quote from him.

01:21:22.500 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:21:26.480 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:21:29.380 So, some big news today.

01:21:31.400 And, I mean, it's not a surprise to anybody who's been paying attention, but the president

01:21:35.060 has just announced that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard officially a terrorist organization, according

01:21:42.040 to the U.S.

01:21:42.880 What does that mean for us?

01:21:45.060 What does that mean in Israel, especially the week of the election of Benjamin Netanyahu?

01:21:51.560 We go to an expert and a good friend of the program who knows all about it, Eric Stackelbeck,

01:21:57.480 when we continue the show in one minute.

01:22:00.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:06.040 Nana, you know, as I look at where we're headed and I see how this thing happened in Venezuela,

01:22:12.820 we could be headed for real trouble, lightning fast.

01:22:16.900 Massive power outages are now deadly in Venezuela.

01:22:22.260 You see activity in North Korean missile sites.

01:22:25.580 China is hacking into the Pentagon.

01:22:28.880 All of these stories that we're not really paying so much attention to, we should be paying attention to.

01:22:35.120 What's happening on our border could cause real chaos.

01:22:38.800 We shut down the border.

01:22:40.840 That's real chaos.

01:22:42.960 Could you last for how long could your family hold and be okay if things just shut down for a while?

01:22:51.340 You remember in the Great Depression, we shut the banks down.

01:22:54.940 I mean, it was a bank holiday.

01:22:57.740 Could you survive with a bank holiday?

01:23:00.260 Your credit card wasn't of any use?

01:23:02.100 When it's breaking news, it's too late to prepare.

01:23:06.440 Please go to MyPatriotSupply for emergency food supply.

01:23:10.740 That's just like a two-week food kit or a 72-hour kit.

01:23:50.160 That's preparewithglenn.com.

01:23:52.900 Eric Steckelbeck is with us now.

01:24:05.840 Eric is the director of Christians United for Israel, the Watchmen Project, and the host of The Watchmen.

01:24:14.220 Eric, welcome to the program.

01:24:15.740 Good to talk to you.

01:24:17.400 Glenn, good to be with you.

01:24:18.300 So I want to talk to you about the Washington Summit that is coming up in July, and I'm such a big supporter of all of the work that Christians United for Israel does, and you in particular.

01:24:36.580 But first, let me start with any thoughts on what the president just said about the Iranian Republican Guard being an official terrorist organization?

01:24:49.260 Yeah, Glenn, this is a major announcement, first of all.

01:24:52.180 Second of all, it's long overdue.

01:24:54.320 Look, I think the best parallel with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, IRGC for short, Glenn, I compare them to the Nazi SS. 0.80

01:25:01.900 They answered, just like the SS, they answered directly to Hitler, the Revolutionary Guards answered directly to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei.

01:25:12.420 And just like the SS, the Revolutionary Guards have their own, I guess you would say, economic or financial stakes all throughout Iran.

01:25:20.620 They have made themselves into a big business where they control shares in the Iranian economy, Iran's oil sector, and the Iranian nuclear weapons program.

01:25:29.640 All of this, Glenn, was spearheaded and controlled by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps.

01:25:34.720 Not only that.

01:25:35.620 Oh, go ahead, Glenn.

01:25:36.140 No, go ahead.

01:25:36.680 Go ahead.

01:25:36.940 Not only that.

01:25:38.360 Yeah, in terms of the terrorism designation that we made today, that the State Department made today, look, the main thing, the IRGC, the Revolutionary Guards, they are in control of Iran's external operations throughout the world.

01:25:51.820 That means, Glenn, they are in control, complete control of Iran's terror apparatus, whether that's in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, or, yes, right here in the Western Hemisphere, where we've seen Iran and Hezbollah strike over the past few decades.

01:26:06.200 So the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps are the power brokers in that regime and the terror masters in Iran.

01:26:14.900 Why'd the president do this today?

01:26:17.420 You know, I think it's long overdue, number one.

01:26:19.840 It was the right thing to do, just as a Jerusalem embassy, the Golan declaration, the right thing to do. 0.96

01:26:26.400 Look, a lot of people would say the election's tomorrow, obviously, the Israeli election, Benjamin Netanyahu looking for re-election.

01:26:32.540 He's probably, I'm sure, in support of the IRGC being designated as a terrorist entity.

01:26:39.000 But no matter the timing, it's a good thing, Glenn, and it's long overdue, because if we're serious about confronting this Iranian regime and their terror tentacles throughout the world, the Revolutionary Guards is the place to start. 1.00

01:26:51.620 They are the head of the snake when it comes to Iran's terror apparatus. 0.84

01:26:55.960 And by the way, the State Department, Glenn, over the past few decades, has recognized Iran as the world's number one state sponsor of terror.

01:27:02.900 That's both Democrat and Republican administrations, but this is the first administration to actually act on it in this way.

01:27:09.160 We have such a turning of the tide with Israel internally. 0.98

01:27:14.940 You have the president, you know, moving the embassy, the Golan Heights, which is if anybody's ever been there, you stand at the Golan Heights and you're like, there's no way that Israel could ever let this go.

01:27:27.420 They're dead if they let that go.

01:27:28.740 It's strategic land.

01:27:30.000 You have to have it's literal high ground.

01:27:32.540 Then Benjamin Netanyahu said the, quote, occupied territories are not occupied territories.

01:27:39.600 And he said he's going to give control of of those to the Jewish settlements.

01:27:46.300 What does that mean?

01:27:48.260 Well, I think, number one, with the Golan, Glenn, you're absolutely right.

01:27:52.240 Strategic, strategic, strategic.

01:27:53.880 Look, that is the high ground.

01:27:55.560 Whoever controls that controls the high ground.

01:27:58.180 In past days before 1967, when Israel seized control of the Golan in a defensive war, by the way, against Syria and Egypt, Syria controlled the Golan.

01:28:07.960 That meant, Glenn, they could rain missiles down on the Galilee below.

01:28:11.980 It's a nonstarter for Israel to give that up.

01:28:13.740 Common sense.

01:28:14.760 Number two, I think with the territories, he's talking about Judea and Samaria, the West Bank.

01:28:20.440 Judea and Samaria from an Israeli perspective, number one, is absolutely essential from a security sense.

01:28:26.040 Until there's a Palestinian authority under Mahmoud Abbas that shows that it's serious about peace, that's serious about recognizing Israel's right to exist, it seems like a no-brainer for Israel to hang on to that territory. 0.86

01:28:40.740 Just from a security perspective, in the past, when Israel disengaged from Gaza, pulled out of southern Lebanon, unfortunately, Glenn, they were greeted with rockets and missiles.

01:28:49.400 There's also the important factor, look, Judea and Samaria is the biblical heartland of Israel.

01:28:55.720 The Jewish people were living there 3,500 years ago.

01:28:58.960 So that's also a strong factor in that decision by Prime Minister Netanyahu.

01:29:02.600 So, Eric, we have the election tomorrow.

01:29:06.600 Is he going to win, Netanyahu?

01:29:09.340 It's tight.

01:29:10.460 I'll tell you, Glenn, I was talking to some folks, contacts on the ground in Israel just over the weekend, and it's close, for sure.

01:29:17.700 However, I'm not a prognosticator with it.

01:29:20.320 I would say that Prime Minister Netanyahu has the inside track.

01:29:24.480 What does it mean if he loses?

01:29:26.580 What does it mean if he loses?

01:29:29.200 It's going to be interesting.

01:29:30.420 I mean, he obviously has had a great relationship with President Trump, number one.

01:29:34.240 Number two, he's been very friendly to evangelicals.

01:29:36.920 From a security perspective, it's unclear.

01:29:39.320 Benny Gantz, who's the main competitor, Glenn, look, the Blue and White Party in Israel,

01:29:43.560 which is the main competitor going against Prime Minister Netanyahu, three of their top four men are former generals.

01:29:50.560 Benny Gantz, Moshe Yalon, and Gabi Ashkenazi, you would think they would have a pretty strong stance on security.

01:29:57.460 I've interviewed Benny Gantz.

01:29:58.940 He's an impressive guy when it comes to security issues.

01:30:01.500 He was the chief of staff for the Israel Defense Forces, just to give people a little bit more background on him.

01:30:07.040 So he's got definitely security credentials.

01:30:10.160 So unclear how things change from a security perspective.

01:30:13.420 Will he be less aggressive, more aggressive, taking on Iran, for instance?

01:30:17.500 What about Gaza?

01:30:18.860 Gaza continues to flare up, it seems like, every few weeks, Glenn.

01:30:22.140 With Hamas, that's a persistent problem. 0.99

01:30:24.360 Then we have southern Lebanon, where Hezbollah, that Iranian proxy, has some 150,000 rockets and missiles aimed at every inch of Israel.

01:30:33.060 So whoever the next prime minister is has a tall order for sure.

01:30:36.600 But at the same time, Israel's making great strides internationally, Glenn, and new relationships in India, in Africa, in Latin America.

01:30:44.260 So the security challenges remain, but some exciting things happening, positive things as well.

01:30:48.960 The Blue and White Party, are they more socialists, less socialists?

01:30:55.360 Are they friendly to the West as Benjamin Netanyahu and the Christians? 0.95

01:31:01.720 What do they stand for, do you know?

01:31:04.320 Yeah, I think middle of the road, Glenn.

01:31:06.620 Truly, I would say, a moderate party from an Israeli perspective.

01:31:10.320 Definitely not on the socialist left end of the spectrum.

01:31:12.800 That would be the Labor Party in Israel, which is really struggling right now.

01:31:16.560 But I would say middle of the road when it comes to more social, culturally.

01:31:20.960 You would think they'd be more hawkish from a security perspective, since, again, they do have three generals among their top three members there.

01:31:28.760 In terms of the West, absolutely, they'll be friendly.

01:31:32.220 I've interviewed Moshe Yalon and Benny Gantz, who are two.

01:31:36.060 Benny Gantz is obviously the top guy.

01:31:38.320 Moshe Yalon's kind of second or third in that Blue and White Party.

01:31:41.220 Both very friendly to America, to the West.

01:31:45.120 Friendly to Christians, in my experience, for sure.

01:31:47.860 Prime Minister Netanyahu has had a uniquely close relationship with the evangelical community in the United States.

01:31:53.880 But, look, Gantz and Yalon, in my experience, have been friendly as well.

01:31:57.820 So, you know, I think Netanyahu has the inside track.

01:32:01.720 I might be wrong, but it seems like he's got the inside track right now.

01:32:04.920 But at the end of the day, it is going to be very, very close.

01:32:07.780 This might be Prime Minister Netanyahu.

01:32:09.700 Look, he's been in power since February 2009.

01:32:13.040 This will probably be his closest election yet, I would say, because Gantz is a formidable opponent with that military background.

01:32:21.840 We're talking to Eric Stackelbeck from ericstackelbeck.com.

01:32:26.340 He is a good friend of the program.

01:32:29.080 He is a guy who has been watching this for decades now.

01:32:34.080 That's weird to say that, isn't it, Eric?

01:32:37.760 We go way back.

01:32:39.040 I know.

01:32:39.460 And you're with Christians United for Israel's Watchmen Project.

01:32:43.560 You're the host of The Watchmen, which is seen Friday nights at 1030 Eastern on TBN.

01:32:48.100 And tell me about the CUFI summit that's happening in July.

01:32:55.220 Yeah, Glenn, you've spoken at the summit before.

01:32:57.380 This is the big one.

01:32:58.560 I love it.

01:32:58.960 And we loved having you.

01:33:01.000 You know, it's the big one from a pro-Israel perspective.

01:33:03.820 Some 5,500, maybe 6,000 pro-Israel Christians and Jews will pack the Washington Convention Center in D.C., in the heart of the nation's capital, and advocate for a strong U.S.-Israel relationship.

01:33:19.340 We've had, in the past two years, Vice President Pence in 2017.

01:33:24.480 Last year, Ambassador Nikki Haley were the keynotes.

01:33:27.240 This year, Ambassador David Friedman, who's our first ambassador at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem.

01:33:32.520 He'll be speaking.

01:33:33.600 Dennis Prager will be there.

01:33:35.200 Of course, CUFI's founder and chairman.

01:33:37.240 The one and only Pastor John Hagee will be speaking.

01:33:39.540 And some very special guests, for sure.

01:33:42.340 Prime Minister Netanyahu, or whoever the prime minister is, will deliver a satellite address to the summit.

01:33:48.600 We'll have some special guests from the Trump administration as well.

01:33:51.540 We can't announce them yet, but they're coming.

01:33:54.040 So it's going to be big.

01:33:55.280 And I think the key thing, Glenn, is not only will we get together and we'll voice our support for Israel and the strong U.S.-Israel relationship,

01:34:02.020 but a key thing about it is we lobby on Capitol Hill.

01:34:05.640 You have thousands of pro-Israel Christians will fan out on the Tuesday of the summit.

01:34:12.200 By the way, the date's July 7th, 8th, and 9th, coming up in just three months.

01:34:16.660 But look, we will go to every member, all 50 states, and we will lobby them in support of a strong U.S.-Israel relationship

01:34:24.700 and legislation, Glenn, that benefits the U.S. and Israel from a security perspective.

01:34:30.560 Look, we've lobbied in the past on moving the embassy to Jerusalem.

01:34:34.240 Also, the Taylor Force Act, real quick, it passed into law last year.

01:34:38.880 Basically, that holds the Palestinian Authority accountable for support of terrorism.

01:34:44.200 I don't know if the listeners might not know.

01:34:45.580 They might know that when someone is killed, when a Jew or an American, Taylor Force was an American,

01:34:51.680 when they're killed by a Palestinian terrorist, that terrorist and his family receive a lifetime stipend 0.86

01:34:58.080 from the Palestinian Authority. 0.99

01:35:00.160 We call it pay to slay.

01:35:02.360 And by the way, in years past, U.S. taxpayer dollars were going to the Palestinian Authority

01:35:07.460 and going into the pockets of these folks.

01:35:09.740 That's all finished now, but we lobbied for that.

01:35:12.320 So a lot of exciting things going on during the summit.

01:35:14.960 We encourage everyone to come.

01:35:16.240 Go to CUFI, that's C-U-F-I dot org, and you can learn more.

01:35:19.900 I will tell you, the work that CUFI does is some of the most important work on this issue,

01:35:26.960 and I don't endorse a lot of programs or groups.

01:35:33.860 CUFI, without a doubt, I stand with, and it's an honor to stand with them for Israel.

01:35:41.160 And what you guys do on that week when people come in for this summit,

01:35:45.380 what you do in lobbying makes a world of difference, and even more so today with what we have going on with the left.

01:35:53.940 Eric, thank you so much.

01:35:54.800 We'll talk again.

01:35:56.020 God bless.

01:35:56.560 Thanks, man.

01:35:57.020 You bet.

01:35:57.580 Eric Stackelbeck.

01:35:58.440 Our sponsor this F-Hour is Relief Factor.

01:36:03.120 Heather in Louisiana, she just wrote in.

01:36:05.480 She said, Glenn, I love Relief Factor.

01:36:07.880 I know the difference when I don't use it, and I've been a loyal customer for the last two years,

01:36:12.840 and I tell everybody I know about it.

01:36:14.700 I shared my packets with a fellow police officer so he could try them.

01:36:18.960 We love working out.

01:36:20.360 We always talk about ways to stay pain-free.

01:36:23.800 Thank you, thank you, thank you for turning me on to this wonderful product.

01:36:27.000 It is Relief Factor.

01:36:29.440 Relief Factor is 100% drug-free and created by doctors.

01:36:33.080 There's a three-week quick start, and it's only $19.95.

01:36:36.500 70% of the people who order the three-week quick start go on to order more.

01:36:40.820 But you've got to take it as directed.

01:36:43.020 Get your life back with Relief Factor, and their three-week quick start, only $19.95.

01:36:48.340 If you want a drug-free, natural way to ease your pain and get your life back, this is it.

01:36:53.500 It's ReliefFactor.com.

01:36:55.640 We break now for 10 seconds, Station ID.

01:37:08.260 So it's quite amazing.

01:37:10.980 There's a story out from John Solomon, who we'll have to talk to again later this week.

01:37:15.840 The Ukrainian law enforcement officials believe they have evidence now of wrongdoing by American Democrats and their allies in Kiev, ranging from the 2016 election interference to obstructing criminal probes.

01:37:32.000 They have been trying to get the Trump Justice Department to act, but nobody seems to be interested in this.

01:37:39.040 And I have a feeling that the Trump administration might become interested in this soon.

01:37:45.280 The problem is that people on both sides are dirty.

01:37:50.360 It was, you know, this is this is what they got Paul Manafort for, and they should.

01:37:55.380 But there are many people involved.

01:37:58.260 A lot of them are Democrats and some of them big, including Vice President Joe Biden.

01:38:03.820 And nobody wants to pay attention to this.

01:38:07.620 We're going to lay this case out on Thursday, and this will be a good 20 minute.

01:38:15.580 Lay the case out.

01:38:17.220 Let you see it.

01:38:18.100 It's not just the Ukraine.

01:38:20.160 I think there's even a stronger case against Joe Biden in China. 0.98

01:38:24.220 This is a corrupt guy.

01:38:28.180 And the corruption from the Russians is clear, not just on Biden, but elsewhere. 0.99

01:38:34.520 And the Ukrainians are like, why won't anybody take this about the Democrats? 0.95

01:38:38.440 I mean, you all asked for it for the Republicans.

01:38:41.240 What about the Democrats?

01:38:43.160 That's a good question.

01:38:44.640 It's a very good question with a very obvious answer.

01:38:48.020 But yeah, at least to us in the United States.

01:38:50.360 That's a good point, by the way, Glenn.

01:38:52.120 Thursday is this show.

01:38:53.320 It's on your 5 p.m. program, Eastern Time.

01:38:56.820 You can join Blaze TV and watch it.

01:39:24.920 We've had meetings on this show for the last three weeks.

01:39:28.260 Just had one this morning to make sure that it's all buttoned up and it's really good.

01:39:33.760 There's a lot of man hours that goes into stuff like this, and we need your support.

01:39:38.400 And you can do that by joining us at BlazeTV.com slash Glenn.

01:39:44.520 That's an important aspect of it.

01:39:47.920 It's always good.

01:39:48.620 We get a lot of help from listeners in these kind of investigations that give us little tips and places to go.

01:39:54.720 And that's kind of what's happening right now at Bidenbracket.com.

01:39:57.140 Which Joe Biden picture is actually the creepiest?

01:40:00.960 There's a big academic debate going on now in our nation's universities as to which Joe Biden picture is the most creepy.

01:40:09.600 Which one gives you the skeevy feeling the most?

01:40:13.260 And I will say it's very difficult.

01:40:15.060 That's why we've laid out Bidenbracket.com the way we have.

01:40:18.480 You can look.

01:40:19.000 You can enlarge the photos.

01:40:20.540 You can examine them.

01:40:22.520 See, like, you know, the erector pili muscle is the muscle that controls the goose bump.

01:40:27.880 If your erector pili muscles all over your body start standing up, that might be an indication of which one of the two photos you should vote for.

01:40:37.100 In an NCAA tournament style bracket that will give us the results on Thursday.

01:40:40.920 You've really kind of distracted me from anything you were talking about.

01:40:45.060 A, that you know the erector pili muscles.

01:40:50.420 And I've never thought of goose bumps as muscles, which made me go, man, the body is amazing.

01:40:55.400 It is really freaking weird.

01:40:57.480 It is really amazing.

01:40:58.260 It's legitimately like the only fact I remember from elementary science class.

01:41:02.980 Erector pili muscles.

01:41:03.940 Because our teacher used to always say it like very, he's, erector pili muscles. 0.81

01:41:07.800 And I always remember that dumb fact.

01:41:09.840 Whether it's true or not, honestly, I've never looked it up. 0.87

01:41:11.920 I assume it's true, but I remember it from elementary.

01:41:15.200 You know what's great?

01:41:15.800 We have a staff now that can look that up.

01:41:17.340 I mean, I've got Google too, erector pili muscles.

01:41:20.360 Well, that's our staff, it's Google.

01:41:21.700 I mean, we don't really have research, people.

01:41:23.720 We just have Google.

01:41:24.820 Yes, erector pili muscles, small muscles attached to hair follicles in mammals known as goose bumps.

01:41:29.540 That is amazing.

01:41:30.600 The body is an amazing machine.

01:41:32.280 It's really crazy.

01:41:33.100 It really is.

01:41:33.920 And so is Joe Biden.

01:41:35.020 We were talking about Joe Biden.

01:41:35.700 Bidenbracket.com is the place to go.

01:41:37.320 Yeah, do that now.

01:41:38.460 You'd have to vote for, we have 64 pictures?

01:41:41.580 It's 32.

01:41:42.100 It's 32 pictures.

01:41:43.300 We set it up this way because there's a bunch of ways we could have done it, but this way

01:41:46.720 you don't have to register.

01:41:47.840 You don't have to go through all that hassle.

01:41:49.180 Like a lot of these.

01:41:49.980 Oh, no, I don't want to do that.

01:41:50.760 This way, look, I mean, it's science, but I don't know if it's as vital as curing cancer.

01:41:55.840 Right, so it's not a collection.

01:41:57.560 We're not trying to collect data on anybody.

01:41:59.320 We just, all we want is your vote.

01:42:01.720 And then we'll release the, and believe me, on the Thursday show about Joe Biden, this

01:42:07.940 is going to play about 20 seconds of it.

01:42:09.840 No, but it's important.

01:42:10.580 We're going to announce the winner.

01:42:11.660 It is important.

01:42:12.320 But while everybody else is focused on something that is just creepy, we're going to show you

01:42:18.900 the criminal side of Joe Biden.

01:42:20.980 And that is on Thursday.

01:42:22.900 Please join us at blazetv.com slash Glenn.

01:42:28.860 Use the promo code Beck, or sorry, use the promo code Glenn, and help us out.

01:42:35.520 We sure would like you to subscribe and join us on Thursday.

01:42:41.780 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:42:44.520 Ah, X-Jairs. 1.00

01:42:46.920 I love this X-Jair. 0.66

01:42:49.000 It's like a recliner.

01:42:50.020 In fact, it's more comfortable than the chair I sat in.

01:42:54.240 We were watching something called conference this weekend with our church.

01:42:57.940 We were at home.

01:42:58.920 And this is more comfortable than the couch.

01:43:01.780 Yeah.

01:43:02.260 It's important to note, too, that you can actually get work done in it.

01:43:05.440 Because sometimes you sit in recliners and you don't, you kind of fall asleep.

01:43:09.580 I don't really call this work.

01:43:10.500 Oh, not this.

01:43:11.220 I'm saying actual functioning members of society.

01:43:14.440 Yeah, if you're somebody that's actually working, this chair is great.

01:43:18.820 We're not actually working.

01:43:20.520 We just sit in it.

01:43:22.000 And then yap about how great.

01:43:24.060 Boy, man, isn't this a great chair?

01:43:25.560 It's a really great chair.

01:43:26.780 And then we've convinced the whole company that this is work.

01:43:30.800 It's amazing. 1.00

01:43:32.180 They're pretty stupid people. 1.00

01:43:33.580 A lot of stupid people on earth. 1.00

01:43:35.480 Anyway, X-Jair. 1.00

01:43:37.200 Go to X-Chair Beck.

01:43:38.860 A great office chair.

01:43:41.020 Check it out.

01:43:41.420 You can try it for 30 days.

01:43:42.840 If you don't love it, just ship it back.

01:43:44.500 It's no big deal.

01:43:45.860 844-4-X-Chair.

01:43:47.660 844-4-X-Chair.

01:43:49.200 You get $100 off at X-ChairBeck.com.

01:43:51.880 And a free footrest as well.

01:43:54.860 X-ChairBeck.com.

01:43:56.420 Go there now.

01:43:59.520 We have crashed the site that hosts Biden Brackets several times this morning.

01:44:04.160 So be patient.

01:44:05.060 This is an important piece of science.

01:44:06.840 What is the creepiest photo of Joe Biden?

01:44:11.420 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:44:12.500 I want to share with you one of the more disturbing stories I've read in USA Today in quite some time.

01:44:18.320 Conservatives' takeover of the Supreme Court stalled by John Roberts' Brett Kavanaugh bromance is the headline.

01:44:27.380 No.

01:44:27.860 The conservative takeover of the Supreme Court that was anticipated following Donald Trump's two selections has been stalled by a budding bromance between the senior and junior justices.

01:44:39.240 No.

01:44:39.580 Chief Justice John Roberts and the court's newest member, Brett Kavanaugh, have voted in tandem on nearly every case that's come before them since Kavanaugh's joined the court in October.

01:44:53.200 They've been more likely to side with the court's liberal justices than other conservatives.

01:44:57.780 The two justices, both alumni of the same District of Columbia-based Federal Appeals Court, have split publicly only once in 25 official decisions.

01:45:09.040 Their partnership has extended, though less reliably, to orders the courts have issued on abortion funding, immigration, the death penalty,

01:45:17.960 in the six months of Kavanaugh's bitter Senate confirmation battle that ended in a 50-48 split.

01:45:24.660 Roberts and Kavanaugh have obvious reasons for their reluctance to join the court's three other conservatives in ideological harmony.

01:45:31.160 They do?

01:45:31.980 Yeah, yeah, listen to this.

01:45:33.160 The Chief Justice's voice concerned about the court being viewed as just another political branch of the government.

01:45:39.140 Oh, so the answer to that is to play politics and try to, you know, show some sort of future, you know, history, can look back at us and say,

01:45:49.880 we did the right thing.

01:45:51.960 We went left when we could have gone right.

01:45:54.480 That sort of posturing, not at all part of the job description of a Supreme Court justice, is the right thing to do.

01:46:01.280 I got it.

01:46:02.340 Kavanaugh, a former top White House official under George W. Bush, who was accused of a sexual assault in 1980s during his confirmation,

01:46:08.640 may be just laying low.

01:46:10.700 Justice Kavanaugh seems to share some of the Chief Justice's institutional concerns.

01:46:16.160 But I also think he cares about his own perception as an even-handed judge.

01:46:21.920 No, not another Roberts.

01:46:23.940 No, no, no.

01:46:25.960 Yep.

01:46:26.840 I'm very worried about Kavanaugh.

01:46:28.600 I am too.

01:46:29.200 I mean, Roberts is a lost cause.

01:46:30.960 Yeah, he wasn't on the list.

01:46:32.160 Can we make this point yet again?

01:46:33.800 The initial list that Donald Trump put out had 21 Supreme Court justice possibilities during the election.

01:46:40.200 When he was elected, and a big portion of him getting elected was because of this list.

01:46:44.500 It made a lot of conservatives, we heard people call in the drove, saying,

01:46:48.060 this is the reason I'm voting for Donald Trump.

01:46:50.200 This was all approved by the Federalist Society.

01:46:52.460 They went through a real process with it.

01:46:54.520 He got elected, and they picked Neil Gorsuch, one of the best justices on the list, I thought.

01:46:59.100 I thought it was a great pick, and he's been great.

01:47:01.600 And then, after that, with very little fanfare, they added five names to the list.

01:47:08.600 One of those names was Brett Kavanaugh.

01:47:11.080 And I have no evidence to think that she would be bad, per se, but another one of those was Amy Coney Barrett.

01:47:19.560 And the idea that we now have to pick off of this list, there's still 20 names on the original list that are not Supreme Court justices.

01:47:26.420 Why we can't pick one of them when we have new Supreme Court justices, I don't know. 0.89

01:47:31.240 But that's another thing that makes me nervous about Barrett, despite she also doesn't have a very long track record.

01:47:36.540 She seems great, but Kavanaugh didn't seem great.

01:47:39.740 I mean, we were not excited about Kavanaugh as a pick.

01:47:43.140 I was very defensive of him as being falsely accused or having his life run over by accusations with no evidence.

01:47:49.900 But I was not a fan of him.

01:47:51.080 But he makes me very nervous, and the initial indications are not positive on Kavanaugh.

01:47:55.480 So, listen to this.

01:47:56.940 Now, remember, this is USA Today.

01:47:59.400 This is USA Today.

01:48:01.960 Similarities between the two men are striking.

01:48:03.900 Despite their decade apart in age, Robert, 64, is an earnest and soft-spoken, but pointed in his questions to both sides during oral arguments.

01:48:12.840 Kavanaugh, 54, is more demonstrative, but he tempers that with an inquisitive, open-minded manner.

01:48:19.560 Whatever their reasons, the chief justice and the newest justice together have provided ballast for a court in transition.

01:48:28.060 Following Kavanaugh's replacement of retired Justice Anthony Kennedy, Roberts has become the court's swing vote, and Kavanaugh often appears to be his wingman.

01:48:37.580 Example, include the court's action last October, giving those challenging citizenship question in the 2020 census.

01:48:46.500 Additional information about the plan.

01:48:48.160 Its refusal in December to consider Republican-led states' efforts to defund Planned Parenthood.

01:48:53.920 Its ruling in February that Texas cannot execute a prisoner who claims to have an intellectual disability.

01:48:59.280 In all three of those actions, Associates Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch dissented.

01:49:04.040 Associate Justice Samuel Alito made known his opposition in two of them.

01:49:09.660 Roberts and Kavanaugh appear to have voted with the court's liberals, though the breakdown was not made public.

01:49:15.160 Their differences have been rare, but noteworthy.

01:49:18.420 In addition to one public vote to a criminal procedure case, Roberts sided with the liberals intemporarily blocking a Louisiana abortion restriction,

01:49:27.500 while Kavanaugh would have let them go into effect.

01:49:30.740 And while they refused to hear New Jersey County's effort to include churches in a historic preservation program in a Washington State high school coach's plea to conduct prayers on a football field,

01:49:41.720 Kavanaugh warned of the need to protect religious liberty.

01:49:45.080 Kavanaugh, perhaps, is seeking a low profile, has voted with the majority in almost every case so far,

01:49:51.680 unless he is the author, which usually means just signing on to the opposition or the opinion,

01:49:57.600 but often writes separately to explain his vote, a habit he picked up at the U.S. Court of Appeals.

01:50:03.100 Kavanaugh has always had more of a moderate streak, even on the D.C. circuit, says Josh Blackman,

01:50:08.920 South Texas College Law Associate Professor who follows the Supreme Court.

01:50:13.020 Oh, great.

01:50:13.440 He feels the need to explain himself, that he's not that right wing.

01:50:18.160 Oh, because this is, you know, as a Supreme Court justice, you'd hope that the unfair treatment Kavanaugh received in his hearing would not change him at all.

01:50:29.000 But as a human being, we all know that going through an experience like that will probably change you one of two ways.

01:50:34.740 Number one, if you want to assign this to Clarence Thomas, the Clarence Thomas way,

01:50:39.760 which is you get falsely accused of something, you get beat up in the press for a million years, and you become rock-ribbed.

01:50:45.960 You are never going, you are going to go and never, ever try to please the media, try to please the historians.

01:50:54.320 You are going to keep your, you're going to go with the Constitution 100% of the time,

01:50:58.740 even if you're the only vote and it looks super mean.

01:51:01.540 That's the Clarence Thomas way, if you want to summarize it that way.

01:51:04.400 The other way is this sort of John Roberts way, where you are now, to show that you swear you're not super mega right wing,

01:51:12.660 like he were portrayed, you start, you know, siding with the left a little bit more often,

01:51:17.140 and you start going that way.

01:51:18.820 Early indications, I will say, they're somewhat mixed.

01:51:22.360 As you pointed out, the case on abortion in Louisiana was a good ruling by Kavanaugh, 0.71

01:51:28.220 but I wonder if what we wind up with here is someone who's constantly trying to please the future historians,

01:51:35.960 and that is a disastrous formula.

01:51:38.280 Well, good news.

01:51:39.080 Next term, beginning in October, may include major cases on abortion, immigration, gay rights, and gun control.

01:51:46.360 Also, the third debate in the court over Obamacare.

01:51:50.620 And for justices in their 50s and 60s with lifetime appointments, there will be many, many years,

01:51:57.580 perhaps even decades, in which to evolve or stand firm.

01:52:02.760 Yeah.

01:52:03.040 And this is another thing where you hear this from the media all the time.

01:52:05.560 Remember the fear when Kavanaugh was going through?

01:52:07.880 It had nothing to do with whether Kavanaugh was touching women in high school.

01:52:11.040 I mean, it had nothing to do with that.

01:52:11.980 It was about, hey, what is this guy going to do if it's a right-wing court?

01:52:14.940 They're going to overturn, you know, Roe versus Wade and all of these other things

01:52:19.900 and make it seem as if it's going to be the most conservative Supreme Court ever.

01:52:24.380 And we kept pointing out, have you watched John Roberts for 10 seconds?

01:52:28.880 There is no chance that John Roberts, given the opportunity, would come down on the right side of Roe versus Wade. 0.99

01:52:35.080 He sucks. 0.94

01:52:36.520 So what you do if you get Kavanaugh to be on the right side of something like that is you get to four votes. 1.00

01:52:41.460 Not five, four.

01:52:43.520 There is no way Roberts is going to take a stand against a big, you know, sort of cultural issue

01:52:49.880 where he believes he will be on the wrong side of history on it later on.

01:52:55.140 I mean, the chances of that happening are so minuscule, and neither one of them have shown any bravery in this sort of area.

01:53:01.460 So the idea that this is really in doubt is such a far-fetched sort of like fever dream of liberals to get people out to vote.

01:53:12.460 It's like they're just like, well, this is the handmaid's tale.

01:53:15.160 It's like this is not the handmaid's tale.

01:53:17.200 John Roberts is essentially one of you on controversial issues.

01:53:20.720 He's been wrong on all of these things.

01:53:23.160 He continues to try to please the media and historians.

01:53:26.120 You know, the new book shows that he changed his vote on Obamacare because he knew how important insurance was to businesses.

01:53:33.740 The hell does that have to do with the Constitution?

01:53:36.160 Your job is to get in there and rule on what is constitutional and what is not.

01:53:39.840 We did not.

01:53:40.920 We did not hire.

01:53:43.060 We don't pay those people to be politicians. 0.88

01:53:45.340 No.

01:53:45.680 To think things through, to noodle things through on what's best for society.

01:53:50.020 Their only job is to find out if it is constitutional or not, period.

01:53:57.100 That's their job.

01:53:59.080 It's like going into McDonald's and, you know, the guy won't give you the burger, but he will give you all kinds of advice on how to fix your car.

01:54:12.120 Look, dude, I'm not going to serve you until you fix your car this way.

01:54:15.140 You know what?

01:54:15.560 And you know what?

01:54:16.580 That outfit just doesn't work on you. 1.00

01:54:18.580 Shut up, McGriddle me. 1.00

01:54:20.540 Yeah, give me a McGriddle and a shake. 1.00

01:54:22.460 That's all I want from you.

01:54:24.180 That's what we need to start to say to the Supreme Court.

01:54:27.500 Yeah.

01:54:27.800 We want to know, is this constitutional or not?

01:54:31.380 They actually traded rulings on Obamacare.

01:54:35.880 Roberts wanted to side with the left wing, but didn't want to give up all this ground.

01:54:40.260 So he actually got two liberal justices to come over and rule against the Medicaid part of it.

01:54:46.540 So that's why it was a seven to two ruling and why two liberals oddly voted for the conservative approach to Medicaid expansion.

01:54:55.000 They actually traded their opinions.

01:54:58.920 Roberts said, I won't overturn it if you come over to me with Medicaid.

01:55:01.900 I mean, that is not the way this is supposed to work.

01:55:04.860 Rule on the Constitution, period.

01:55:07.680 Let the chips fall where they may.

01:55:09.640 And for some reason, we have lost and we have now just gained another legislative branch.

01:55:15.160 Yep.

01:55:15.640 And that is not what we want.

01:55:17.500 Nope.

01:55:17.780 They're making laws all the time. 0.93

01:55:19.460 They're trading favors. 0.90

01:55:20.780 It's ridiculous. 0.76

01:55:21.540 It is an unelected legislative branch now. 0.75

01:55:24.140 And, you know, the worst thing and there's a lot of bad things that FDR did.

01:55:28.060 Worst thing FDR did take the Supreme Court out of the basement. 0.96

01:55:32.200 Supreme Court was in the basement.

01:55:34.520 This is how little the Supreme Court meant to the the country for decades. 0.84

01:55:43.380 When they build the Capitol, they realized, oh, crap, we didn't we didn't think about the Supreme Court.

01:55:49.300 Oh, well, you know, that place down by the boiler, just open that up a little bit and give them a room, give them a room in the basement.

01:55:57.660 It's like we're Milton from office space was.

01:56:00.180 Yes.

01:56:00.760 Yes.

01:56:01.280 I mean, that's who they were.

01:56:04.220 And they gave them this big, huge building and made them so important.

01:56:08.100 And FDR did it for a reason.

01:56:10.800 And when the guys who were used to being in the basement, when I'm not buying into this, what did he do?

01:56:16.780 He said, I'm going to pack the Supreme Court.

01:56:19.840 I mean, we've lost touch of what the Supreme Court is supposed to be.

01:56:27.520 And it is certainly not supposed to be another legislative body.

01:56:35.500 Unelected, unelected.

01:56:37.340 Where's your cry for democracy on this one?

01:56:41.100 All right.

01:56:41.660 Let me tell you about Goldline.

01:56:43.800 And I just saw a couple of stories here.

01:56:46.960 It belongs to the people, not to the bankers.

01:56:49.400 Italy moves to seize gold from the central bank.

01:56:54.900 That's good.

01:56:55.620 That's good.

01:56:56.700 David Rosenberg.

01:56:57.660 Fed will embrace helicopter money over the next few years.

01:57:02.420 Yes.

01:57:03.440 Top bond strategists at the world's largest asset manager says the European Central Bank should buy stocks next.

01:57:12.480 Oh, this is going to be good.

01:57:15.340 Oh, yeah.

01:57:15.700 It's all going to be good.

01:57:16.940 It'll work out perfectly.

01:57:17.800 Yes.

01:57:18.800 May I suggest that you put yourself on a gold standard, that you get yourself something of lasting value.

01:57:27.880 Why do you think Italy is going for the...

01:57:29.640 Why do you think they're going for the gold?

01:57:32.680 They're going for the gold because they got to have it.

01:57:36.480 They got to have it because if things break down, that's all they've got.

01:57:40.280 It's all they've got.

01:57:41.580 And also, as a proud member of an Italian family, gold chains.

01:57:46.400 They like them.

01:57:46.900 Well, yeah.

01:57:47.800 Yeah.

01:57:48.200 Not all.

01:57:49.180 I mean, nobody in my...

01:57:50.400 Thank God.

01:57:51.020 Nobody in my wife's family is like, hey, I got your gold chain.

01:57:55.900 Anyway, Goldline.

01:57:57.300 They have more than gold chains.

01:58:00.020 They have this, which is the 2019 version of the legal tender bar.

01:58:05.340 It has 10 individual, one-tenth of an ounce, 99.99% pure gold bullion legal tender bars that are secure in this credit card barter case.

01:58:17.220 It slides open for easy use and access.

01:58:20.260 You can keep it in your wallet.

01:58:21.400 You can keep it in your purse.

01:58:22.760 But you have something to barter with should, God forbid, things go crazy.

01:58:28.320 By the way, things are getting crazier every day, so I'll stop telling you, you know, hey, maybe you should get some gold or some barter, some stuff to barter with with gold.

01:58:40.700 I'll stop telling you that when the world stops going insane.

01:58:43.240 So far, all those planes are taken off for crazyville.

01:58:48.660 So call 866-GOLDLINE, 1-866-GOLDLINE.

01:58:52.100 Call them now.

01:58:52.900 They're waiting for you.

01:58:53.700 Ask them about all of the information.

01:58:55.540 Find out if buying gold or silver is right for you.

01:58:57.660 Do your own homework.

01:58:58.900 866-GOLDLINE, 1-866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

01:59:04.660 Let me play Beto talking about Trump and how he's just following the steps of the Third Reich.

01:59:13.240 I compared the rhetoric that the president has employed to rhetoric that you might have heard during the Third Reich.

01:59:19.240 Calling human beings an infestation is something that we might have expected to hear in Nazi Germany.

01:59:24.940 Describing immigrants who have a track record of committing violent crimes at a lower rate than native-born Americans as rapists and criminals. 0.99

01:59:33.580 Seeking to ban all Muslims, all people of one religion. 1.00

01:59:36.520 What other country in the face of the planet does that kind of thing? 0.99

01:59:39.380 Or in our human history?

01:59:40.740 Or in the history of the Western world?

01:59:42.140 This is amazing.

01:59:45.380 He's talking about MS-13.

01:59:46.960 Yes, animals.

01:59:47.860 Right.

01:59:48.360 It's a gang.

01:59:49.680 MS-13. 1.00

01:59:50.740 They are a group of animals. 1.00

01:59:52.080 Yes, and they kill people in the United States. 0.99

01:59:54.880 Murders at more than about...

01:59:56.860 That's about four times the rate as the school shooting problem in this country.

02:00:00.640 So if you're whining about the school shooting problem, which is a good thing to whine about,

02:00:03.540 you should probably also be whining about MS-13.

02:00:06.160 Because a lot of people are dying at the hands of MS-13.

02:00:08.940 I'd have no problem saying Dylan Klebold was an animal.

02:00:13.200 I'd have no problem saying any of the school shooters are animals.

02:00:17.300 Why the idea that MS-13? 0.96

02:00:19.460 Because I guess they have Hispanic background. 0.74

02:00:21.260 All of a sudden, they're not animals. 0.98

02:00:23.780 They're killing it four times the rate of school shootings in this country.

02:00:26.920 They're a big problem.

02:00:27.720 It's amazing how out of touch the Democratic leadership really is with the American people.

02:00:37.840 It's going to be interesting to watch.

02:00:40.180 If you missed the show today, make sure you go back and listen to the podcast and hear

02:00:44.780 Selena Zito as we talk about the candidates and what people on the ground in the heart

02:00:53.200 of the country, Democratic voters, really believe.
