The Glenn Beck Program - Mamdani Just Sent the Violent Left a Deadly Signal ｜ Guest： Natalie Winters ｜ 7⧸28⧸26

00:00:00.000 Keeping yourself and your family safe means being prepared for situations that can, you know, put you or them in danger.

00:00:06.080 It means being prepared for all the situations, you know, even those situations where deadly force is not needed.

00:00:11.820 In fact, it's a real problem.

00:00:13.340 There are more of those than you think.

00:00:14.740 And if you're a gun owner, it's unfortunately easy to think a gun will provide you all the safety it needs.

00:00:19.360 But you never pull a gun unless you're prepared to kill somebody.

00:00:22.060 And I'm not in all situations, you know, but they can go bad fast.

00:00:27.340 There is a tool for this.

00:00:28.320 It's the burner launcher.

00:00:29.420 It's a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home that will teach somebody a very painful, non-lethal lesson.

00:00:35.620 It's legal in all 50 states, no permits or background checks required, and it can be used by all age groups over 18.

00:00:42.860 My kids carry them in their backpacks.

00:00:45.220 You'll be confident that you are prepared to defend yourself against potential threats.

00:02:41.560 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program from the Rocky Mountain West.

00:02:46.140 We're so glad that you have tuned us in.

00:02:49.180 I've got a lot to go over today.

00:02:51.700 Woof.

00:02:52.620 Woof.

00:02:53.660 But we're going to start with New York and Mamdani again.

00:02:56.880 Mamdani is, it's interesting, the game he's playing on Eat the Rich.

00:03:00.900 He has now just released a docs list of everybody who owns a house over $5 million.

00:03:08.540 And that includes a lot of his supporters.

00:03:10.840 Now, that doesn't mean, you know, you release names.

00:03:13.520 Okay, everybody knew Anna Wintour had a house.

00:03:16.340 No, he released the names and addresses of these people while he's encouraging people to take the streets.

00:03:25.480 Oh, well, that was, that's great.

00:03:28.460 And Anna Wintour, you're not welcome in Texas, Idaho, or Florida.

00:03:33.480 Sorry, don't want you.

00:03:35.560 You stay with what you created up there.

00:03:38.780 These people are going to be moving out.

00:03:40.760 And I mean, and they're going to drag all this bull crap with them.

00:03:44.260 but what are you going to do i mean you're somebody on that list do you feel safe today

00:03:50.420 you're in new york city with this mayor i mean this guy is not a good guy and i want to talk

00:03:57.420 to you about his uh his uh socialist if you will his socialist experiment with grocery stores um

00:04:05.600 and i'm going to give it a fair shake but i want something in return and i'll give you that here

00:04:12.140 in 60 seconds first let me tell you about the international fellowship of christians and jews

00:04:15.400 nobody wants to leave their home their friends their family their community place that they've

00:04:19.420 spent their entire life but for thousands of jewish families around the world rising anti-semitism

00:04:24.340 has turned that into a necessary decision and they're making a return to israel to build a

00:04:30.640 safer future if that that's your safer future you know how bad it is um this is one of the areas

00:04:36.820 where the international fellowship of christians and jews steps in they help these families make

00:04:40.440 their journey back to israel providing practical assistance when they need it most they also care

00:04:45.600 for the elderly and feed the hungry and respond to emergencies all across israel every single day

00:04:49.840 scripture tells us to stand with the people of israel it tells us to bless them and when we do

00:04:56.100 you know maybe good things are going to happen whether it's in this life or the next life i

00:05:00.240 don't know but that's not what we do we do it because we're commanded to do it and it's the

00:05:03.840 right thing so how do you do it you feed the feed the poor you you help you let people know

00:05:10.020 They're not alone in the darkest of hours.

00:05:12.680 Join the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews in praying for peace.

00:05:16.980 And you can do that by going right now to PrayIFCJ.org.

00:05:21.740 That's PrayIFCJ.org.

00:05:26.300 All right.

00:05:31.940 I'm going to start with this.

00:05:33.220 We all want a safety net.

00:05:35.060 All of us want a safety net.

00:05:36.080 We do not want poor going.

00:05:37.760 We don't want anybody starving on our streets.

00:05:39.480 that's unreasonable in America, okay?

00:05:42.260 So we're all there.

00:05:43.480 Now, how do we do that the most effective way?

00:05:46.080 I'm going to give Mondani the benefit of the doubt,

00:05:49.000 even though this has never, ever worked, ever.

00:05:51.800 But I want to give him the benefit of the doubt.

00:05:53.480 But I want something in return.

00:05:57.360 I want, and I'm going to give it to you,

00:06:00.060 I want a list of metrics that we all check.

00:06:05.060 And if it doesn't work,

00:06:06.260 I want all the people that are for this to say what I will say if it works.

00:06:13.960 Congratulations, it worked.

00:06:15.320 That's amazing.

00:06:16.660 That's amazing.

00:06:17.500 Maybe we should consider doing this elsewhere.

00:06:20.020 I want the same thing in response.

00:06:23.440 If it doesn't work, and I think we demand this from everybody we know, if it doesn't work based on these metrics,

00:06:31.120 i want you to say wow it doesn't work and it hasn't worked in city after city after city

00:06:37.860 so let me give you the whole story here the city of new york has not opened a government grocery

00:06:43.720 store not one what happened this week in east new york was a press conference about a price

00:06:51.260 mamdani stood inside of food pantry distribution hub and announced that when the city's five

00:06:58.320 municipal grocery stores eventually open a core basket of goods is going to sell for 30 cents

00:07:04.060 below typical retail that's quite a number but let me show you how sketchy this whole thing was

00:07:10.040 he said we've announced we got a new uh price code and he held up a bunch of bananas and he's

00:07:16.420 like and look you can go to the website all you have to do is scan it and he was amazed he didn't

00:07:21.200 read what it said on his phone he just you can scan it and you can find out all about the price

00:07:27.140 he didn't even show it he just scanned it and then looked at it went and it works

00:07:31.920 he was amazed that the website worked okay quite an accomplishment okay so here's what he said

00:07:40.860 we're gonna sell everything well we're gonna sell these things 30 under market all fresh produce

00:07:48.240 all meat all seafood all milk eggs bread pasta rice beans butter yogurt and nuts about 20 categories

00:07:56.480 Prices set once a month and locked in for the month.

00:08:00.220 Same discount for everybody.

00:08:01.820 No income test.

00:08:03.580 No application.

00:08:05.480 That brings up other questions we're going to get into here in a minute.

00:08:08.240 But the city's Economic Development Corporation projects the average shopper is going to save $90 a month, $1,000 a year, cutting the total grocery bill roughly by 15%.

00:08:19.180 The first store is supposed to open at Hunts Point in the Bronx at the end of 2027.

00:08:25.500 and the second at La Marqueta in East Harlem in 2029.

00:08:30.780 All five, one per borough by the end of his term.

00:08:36.340 $70 million in the capital budget.

00:08:39.440 Now, they are projecting that the first store is going to cost them around $30 million.

00:08:46.180 The first store is going to cost them $30 million.

00:08:49.480 The average for a nice supermarket,

00:08:52.280 Not like the Kroger Superstores are anywhere between $30, $35, and $40 million.

00:08:59.740 Now, this New York store, it's not going to be a Kroger Superstore, I can guarantee you.

00:09:05.560 So it's already almost the price of a Kroger Superstore, but it's not.

00:09:12.280 The average price of a medium-sized grocery store is around $10 to $15 million.

00:09:19.940 So if you take the low end, it's three times the price already.

00:09:25.580 All right.

00:09:26.780 But why quibble over $15 million?

00:09:31.620 The city builds them.

00:09:33.220 The city owns the land.

00:09:34.280 The city charges no rent and collects no property tax.

00:09:37.840 Now, here's the part that you're going to get a private-public partnership.

00:09:41.480 A private operator hired through a request for proposals that the city issued on Monday

00:09:47.300 runs the store under the city's pricing rules.

00:09:51.060 Now, there's not going to be a butcher counter.

00:09:53.060 There's not going to be a hot food bar.

00:09:54.960 There's no beer and there's no cigarettes.

00:09:57.500 Now, that's really important because I want to get to the math of this thing.

00:10:02.000 An American supermarket, how much do you think they make?

00:10:05.200 How much do you think they take out of every dollar?

00:10:07.740 Every dollar they make, how much is profit?

00:10:11.080 I'll bet you the average person says 30, 40 cents.

00:10:14.340 30 or 40 cents that's what they take that's what they keep no it's two cents 1.4 to 2.4

00:10:22.580 for every dollar so let's just split the difference it's two cents on every dollar

00:10:27.860 net profit is 1.7 you're i'm hearing you between 1.7 and 2.1 percent in 2025

00:10:38.440 wow wow so 70 to 75 cents of that dollar is the food itself bought from the same wholesalers

00:10:48.260 everybody else buys from okay well there's your 30 he's going to save because no no no no no no

00:10:53.680 you just don't you'd have to go to the wholesaler and then you'd have to go through the boxes and

00:10:58.860 pick out your food okay you can't do that 10 to 18 cents is payroll what's left of that covers

00:11:06.940 There's refrigeration, electricity, insurance, spoilage, theft, and rent.

00:11:12.220 Okay, so when they're promising a 30% cheaper box of food, I hear what he's not promising.

00:11:21.720 He's not promising to take it out of profit.

00:11:24.580 He can't.

00:11:25.680 There is not 30% of profit in the building.

00:11:28.360 You could seize every dollar a grocer earns and sell the food at cost, and you wouldn't move the price more than 2%.

00:11:36.920 So where's the other 28% coming from?

00:11:40.300 Wow, rent.

00:11:41.580 Okay, well, that's two or three cents on the dollar.

00:11:44.380 Property tax, maybe one.

00:11:46.860 Free construction spread over the life of the building is worth a couple of cents more.

00:11:51.080 Add every municipal advantage together generously, and you found six to seven cents for every dollar.

00:12:00.000 Okay, well, that's still not 30 cents, is it?

00:12:04.700 Now let's run it backwards.

00:12:06.380 The mayor has promised the operators, workers, the families, a sustaining wage and benefits, which means the labor is going to be way above market, not below.

00:12:16.980 So what are we taking out of those seven cents we just found?

00:12:20.300 Are we taking three more cents? Four?

00:12:23.680 Plus the store, as I told you, it's not going to have a butcher.

00:12:26.820 It's not going to have hot food.

00:12:28.200 It's not going to have beer.

00:12:29.220 Not going to have cigarettes.

00:12:30.380 Those are the four highest margin things a grocery store sells.

00:12:34.720 prepared food carries 40 to 60 percent gross margin they want you that's why it's always up

00:12:41.660 in the front that's why it smells so good they want you to buy that stuff because that's where

00:12:45.800 they can make money produce and meat carry the thinnest so he's discounting the thin things by

00:12:52.720 30 and removing the fat things entirely if you wanted to make up for it you would sell more hot

00:13:00.620 food, but you would sell it at normal prices because that's where you're going to make your

00:13:05.940 money. So where's the gap being filled with? Where was that money coming from? It's not an

00:13:12.840 accusation. That's subtraction. New York is buying groceries for people and calling it a store.

00:13:20.220 Okay. Now, you have no border. You have no boundaries. Anyone can go into that store and

00:13:27.880 buy it for 30 cents cheaper. That's what he's saying. 30% cheaper. You can go in and buy these

00:13:33.800 20 or 30 items. Okay. I'm a bodega and I'm operating right down the street. Heck, I'm

00:13:42.400 operating anywhere in New York. What would stop me from going in and buying those pieces of

00:13:50.800 groceries at $0.30 cheaper and then going and selling them in my bodega for full price.

00:13:59.940 Heck, sell it for $0.15 off every dollar. Sell it for 15% less. You're undercutting all your

00:14:07.640 competition everywhere else and you're making 15%. There's no law against this. And by the way,

00:14:16.900 Anyone, anyone, there is no wage cap.

00:14:20.360 There's no, you can walk in.

00:14:21.780 I don't care if you're Bill Gates, you can walk in and buy your meat there.

00:14:26.840 Okay.

00:14:27.660 All right.

00:14:28.180 So now we're subsidizing apparently rich people too.

00:14:32.680 Okay.

00:14:33.700 Second claim worth checking here.

00:14:35.300 The campaign promised that these stores would buy and sell at wholesale prices by centralizing warehousing and distribution.

00:14:44.500 Five stores.

00:14:46.200 They have five stores.

00:14:48.240 And they're going to centralize their warehouse and distribution.

00:14:52.260 Well, that is the way you save money.

00:14:54.260 But let's just put this into perspective.

00:14:56.620 You know the grocery store I told you?

00:14:58.200 Let's give them the benefit of the doubt and say they make 2.4 cents of profit on every dollar.

00:15:04.260 That would be Kroger.

00:15:06.140 They have 2,700 grocery stores.

00:15:09.680 They have a massive distribution and warehouse.

00:15:12.380 They can buy in bulk.

00:15:14.580 Costco buys by the shipping container.

00:15:18.220 You got five stores.

00:15:19.540 How are you going to beat Costco?

00:15:21.520 And then there is a Costco and an Aldi within a mile of this East Harlem site,

00:15:26.480 already beating the city's projected price on a good part of that basket.

00:15:30.860 Today, they're doing it without any subsidy at all.

00:15:35.260 Okay, now, here's the best part.

00:15:37.560 And I didn't find out until I started doing some research on this.

00:15:40.180 This is the best part of the grocery store.

00:15:41.840 So I'm going to tell you about that East Harlem store that he announced in April.

00:15:49.700 Give me 60 seconds, I'll come right back to you.

00:15:53.780 Sponsor, because we're not a socialist operation here.

00:15:57.580 We believe in the free market.

00:15:59.320 Let me tell you about a product that I believe in.

00:16:01.780 Otherwise, I wouldn't tell you about it.

00:16:03.500 It's Z Factor.

00:16:04.940 In life, there is a will.

00:16:07.120 And if you have a will, there's usually a way.

00:16:09.340 Unless the thing you're trying to will happens to be falling asleep at night, then there just doesn't seem to be a way.

00:16:16.600 But there is an exception to the rule.

00:16:18.960 You can lie there with your eyes closed.

00:16:20.560 You can turn the pillow over and over.

00:16:21.860 You can count backward.

00:16:22.740 You can listen to something boring and promise yourself that you're definitely not thinking about everything you have to do tomorrow.

00:16:28.180 But the more you try to force sleep, the further away it seems to get.

00:16:31.580 That's not the way to do it.

00:16:33.020 There is another way.

00:16:34.060 The people who created Relief Factor develop Z Factor.

00:16:36.580 It's designed to support your body's natural sleep process so you can fall asleep more easily, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling like you actually are rested.

00:16:45.100 There's a big difference between spending eight hours in bed and getting eight hours of real restorative sleep.

00:16:50.860 So give your body what it needs.

00:16:52.760 Give it Z-Factor right now.

00:17:06.980 10 seconds, station ID.

00:17:21.520 Okay, in April, Momdani announced the East Harlem store standing at La Marchetta.

00:17:27.920 And he told the story himself.

00:17:29.460 In 1934, Fiorello La Guardia, the mayor back then, broke ground on that exact spot in the pouring rain, fighting the cold, on a city-owned public market.

00:17:40.720 It opened in 1936, height of the Great Depression, five glass and steel sheds under the railroad tracks on Park Avenue.

00:17:48.440 Built to bring 450 pushcart peddlers in off the street, cut their overhead, and drop the price of food in a poor neighborhood.

00:17:57.500 Within four years, it was serving 25,000 people every day.

00:18:01.240 By the 50s, more than 500 vendors.

00:18:03.680 The New York Times headline was four words, City Tries Experiment.

00:18:08.380 Mamdani quoted that headline and said it was time for a grand experiment once again.

00:18:12.000 But here's what he left out.

00:18:14.340 By 1992, La Marchetta was down to 12 merchants.

00:18:19.160 By 2008, four.

00:18:21.180 Three of the five buildings had burned or been torn down, and the fourth was being shuttered.

00:18:25.180 the city spent 40 years on revitalization plans and it never took it never pulled anybody really

00:18:32.860 out of poverty he's now putting his second store inside the tombstone of his first argument and

00:18:40.980 the building didn't fail because the idea was wicked it failed the way public retail almost

00:18:46.140 always fails slowly quietly with nobody's paycheck on the line the neighborhood changed the market

00:18:53.840 didn't. Supermarkets came and the stalls couldn't answer. Nobody lost a nickel when a customer

00:18:58.820 walked out empty-handed, so nobody chased the customer because nobody was paying for anything.

00:19:03.340 That's the pattern you look for. In Erie, I'm sorry, in Erie, in Kansas, Kansas bought its

00:19:10.280 only grocery store in 2020. The mayor's own description, one profitable month, and after

00:19:16.620 that we were hemorrhaging. Okay, that doesn't sound good. Here's why. The store needed the

00:19:22.620 average customer to spend $50 a month, but they spent 14. Why? Because they would go in and they

00:19:27.740 would buy the stuff that was 30% off and they wouldn't buy anything else. They would go find

00:19:32.440 that at a Costco. Baldwin, Florida. They opened a town run market in 2019. Ran deficits year after

00:19:39.720 year. It closed in 2024. Kansas City put more than 17 million taxpayer dollars into Sunfresh,

00:19:46.740 approved a three quarter of a million dollar emergency rescue, and then watched it close

00:19:51.120 anyway last august empty coolers employees carrying tasers listen to what the kansas city mayor said

00:19:57.880 after his store died he was disappointed but he said the money was well spent because we fixed

00:20:03.280 up the building and kept it from decaying what that's the tell when the mission moves from

00:20:10.040 price to real estate the store's already gone so let me say things that the other side is never

00:20:16.140 going to say let me make a case for this experiment i don't agree with it because we've seen how this

00:20:21.560 movie ends over and over and over again i just told you how they all end but let me be as fair

00:20:26.320 as i can be there are no ration books no state monopoly on food private company is going to run

00:20:32.480 the store and bid for the contract it'll most likely be because they can't really make a profit

00:20:36.760 it'll most likely be a bunch of bleeding heart people who have no idea how to run a business so

00:20:41.680 it will fail. Cities subsidize anchor tenants constantly. When a supermarket gets a tax 0.98

00:20:48.560 abatement to open in a struggling downtown, that's the same transaction, just a different

00:20:52.600 press release. Hunts Point has 36% poverty against 18 citywide. So a subsidized store

00:21:01.340 there is a defensible thing to spend money on if it works. And that's the key. I'm going

00:21:08.460 to give it the benefit of the doubt. It's never worked before, but maybe this time it'll be

00:21:12.400 different. But here's what I want. I want to judge what it actually is. Okay. And I want a

00:21:20.200 set of metrics. I'm going to suggest some set of metrics. And I want in the end, all of the

00:21:25.060 progressives, all of the people who say this is going to work, give it a shot. I'll give it a shot.

00:21:30.180 I'll give it a shot. But I want metrics because we're talking about my hard earned money and

00:21:35.620 your hard-earned money okay socialism doesn't work and it keeps taking money and trying the

00:21:41.780 same experience and saying this time it's different and it never is so this is a food

00:21:46.300 subsidy program uh through a grocery store and you know the question is not about whether socialism

00:21:54.260 works it it doesn't work no matter who attempts it i mean better angels can attempt it it doesn't

00:22:01.720 work. So let's set this up as a real learning lesson. We know we're going to give money to the

00:22:06.940 poor and help them with food. That's not the question. The question is whether a storefront

00:22:12.620 is a better way to move a dollar to a hungry family than just handing them a dollar,

00:22:18.340 which means you can measure this. So here's how you're going to know if they're hiding a failure.

00:22:24.920 What are the fair metrics we need to watch for?

00:22:27.900 First, watch the baseline.

00:22:30.080 30% below typical retail.

00:22:33.860 Typical compared to what?

00:22:36.180 If the city benchmarks are against an expensive Manhattan grocery store instead of the Costco or the Aldi a mile away,

00:22:43.560 then the discount thing is fiction on opening day.

00:22:46.640 The comparison basket, the store list, and the method should be published every single month.

00:22:52.360 If they won't publish it, you have your answer.

00:22:55.820 Watch the basket.

00:22:56.760 Will it shrink?

00:22:57.500 20 categories today.

00:22:59.120 Let's count them next year.

00:23:00.820 There's still 20 categories.

00:23:03.320 Also, watch for the discount that they're quietly applying only to a city's house brand.

00:23:09.440 That's not a 30% discount.

00:23:11.680 That's just a different product.

00:23:13.660 Okay?

00:23:14.620 Now, watch for other things.

00:23:16.840 I'll give those to you next.

00:23:19.140 All right.

00:23:19.840 First, our sponsor, it's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:23:23.220 Most of us just don't buy or sell houses often enough to get good at it.

00:23:27.280 I don't think I'd want to, but you might drive every day.

00:23:33.300 You might cook every night.

00:23:35.160 Those are things you get better at through repetition.

00:23:36.920 But buying or selling homes, I'm not better through repetition.

00:23:39.900 I just don't do it enough.

00:23:40.900 And for most people, it happens only a handful of times in their entire lifetime.

00:23:44.380 So when it comes down to it, you're going to make some of the biggest financial decisions you've ever made, and you're going to make mistakes because you don't know how to do it.

00:23:54.840 This is one of the reasons why I started Real Estate Agents I Trust.

00:23:57.700 I need a real estate expert that knows what they're doing, knows the market, knows how to price my house, knows how to advertise it, knows how to bring the right customers in, helps me buy the next house if I'm moving across the street or across town.

00:24:11.620 I need somebody that knows how to negotiate. That's what we found for you. The best real

00:24:17.020 estate agent, I believe, in your area. Realestateagentsitrust.com. Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:24:24.140 Contact us. Tell us where you are. We'll send you the name of a couple of agents.

00:24:27.760 You interview them. You see if you see a difference. Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:24:33.580 One Beck app now works with Apple CarPlay and Android Audio. The insight you can't get anywhere

00:24:39.180 else. Now goes wherever you do. Hit the app today.

00:24:41.860 you know here's the amazing thing um you know this is estimated to cost when you build the

00:25:11.260 grocery stores and then the first year of losses, it's estimated to be about $78 million, $70 million.

00:25:19.260 Why would you open a grocery store when you could take half of that and give it to the WIC program

00:25:26.100 or whatever and say, look, we're going to give you a $200 or $100 more a week? That's what they're

00:25:32.300 saying. You're going to save on groceries. So why not do that? Well, you would save money. The city

00:25:37.460 would save money. The only reason why they're doing this is not because it works, not because

00:25:42.960 it's the best way to help the poor. No, they do it because they don't believe in the free market.

00:25:49.200 They want to put the free market out of business. It won't work. It just won't work for a myriad of

00:25:55.240 reasons. And we've seen it over and over again. But in the meantime, they waste another 78 million

00:26:00.880 dollars. They look like they're being compassionate and they're being the opposite of compassionate.

00:26:04.880 This is not going to help the poor. It's not. But let's just watch for the metrics. Watch for emergency appropriations. Kansas City had $750,000 mid-year off cycle. They put it in and then they closed it down.

00:26:25.740 Watch for the metrics to change.

00:26:27.620 The day the press release stops saying price and starts saying jobs created or square feet activated, star's in trouble.

00:26:36.800 Watch where the losses are parked.

00:26:39.400 The operator maybe will absorb them under contract.

00:26:42.460 So I'm the private operator.

00:26:44.760 Am I under contract to absorb the losses?

00:26:49.140 The city books will show no deficit.

00:26:50.940 it. Everybody will report a success right up until the operator says, I can't do this anymore.

00:26:55.980 That's how Erie ended. It looked fine, except they were mandated to take the loss themselves. So

00:27:02.460 they went out. East Harlem announced in April as opening next year. Then it's 2029. That was

00:27:10.800 the following day. Next year, 24 hours later, it's 2029. A store announced twice is not a store

00:27:17.300 built i don't know if you know that and here's how you'll know it's working because who knows

00:27:22.020 maybe it might published audited per store numbers total subsidy divided by household serve divided

00:27:29.240 by dollars of savings delivered here's what all honest people have to have we have to have a final

00:27:37.120 benchmark if it costs the city a dollar and 10 cents to save a family a dollar cut the check

00:27:44.380 for a dollar to the family instead if it costs 60 cents for every dollar then he's found something

00:27:51.480 real and i'll say so on this program i'll admit it worked but i want to see the hard numbers

00:27:56.840 because it never works if the bodegas stay open real efficiency lowers prices without killing

00:28:03.900 the neighbors that works however if the corner stores within half a mile start closing the

00:28:10.520 savings weren't created. They were transferred. The taxpayer is now paying more for the store

00:28:16.160 and it is losing tax dollars from the non-government stores. That's not a success.

00:28:22.880 If the competition moves, if Aldi and Costco cut prices to hold their customers,

00:28:29.380 Mamdani is going to celebrate. We need to wait. We need to watch the health of those stores. As I

00:28:34.980 said in the beginning, the margin is 1.4 to 2.4 cents on every dollar. So how is Aldi and Costco

00:28:42.800 surviving that long term? If in two years, they're still open and they're healthy and the government

00:28:48.440 store is too, well then pop the store brand champagne. Look for full shelves in month 18,

00:28:56.500 not ribbon cutting. Month 18 in February in the rain, stock staffed and open at the posted hours

00:29:03.800 and safe. Look for the basket size. Erie needed $50 per month per customer and they got 14 because

00:29:12.680 people came for the cheap items and then bought everything everywhere else. If Hunt Point shoppers

00:29:18.100 do their whole week there, it'll work. Well, it won't work, but it would have a better chance of

00:29:25.520 survival. Let's see if it outlives the mayor on January 1st, 2030. If the subsidy meets the new

00:29:32.380 set of enemies at budget time a store still open in 2032 without a bailout no failures on this

00:29:39.500 a store then perhaps that store earned it okay it's not going to happen but i will admit it if

00:29:46.060 it does will the left play the same game because here's what happened they always move they don't

00:29:53.740 set goal posts see this is the part of the free market that they don't understand you have to

00:29:59.000 have goalposts. You have to have metrics. You have to say, look, we're a success. If we hit

00:30:04.060 these things, if we don't, we're not a success. I want to see the city's metrics. And then I want

00:30:10.880 to see them. And they got to be real. They got to be real. Cause remember you're, you are talking

00:30:15.120 about real money. You're taking the money from the taxpayer of New York. Okay. You're driving

00:30:22.180 all the rich people out so you're going to tax everybody doesn't anybody want efficiency for

00:30:29.320 their tax dollar doesn't anybody want to see i mean if we were all honest we would we would stop

00:30:36.120 giving our money to the tax man we would we would we would say america you need to uh survive off

00:30:43.720 tariffs the way we used to before the progressive movement america survived on tariffs and the

00:30:49.800 average person kept their money now with that being said we would need to encourage people to

00:30:56.860 be more charitable we're already the most charitable people on the earth but we would

00:31:00.900 have to have our churches do more and and us do but i would rather do that because i know i will

00:31:05.860 invest my money is taken from me and then i have no say on how it's spent i'm sitting here arguing

00:31:11.620 that they're wasting all of this money and sending it over to god only knows where in the rest of the

00:31:17.160 world the the corruption is outrageous the in the free market that wouldn't exist

00:31:25.620 it wouldn't exist you know when corruption exists in the free market when the government

00:31:31.180 is involved and by the way it was the grocery store that put the final nail in the coffin

00:31:38.380 of the soviet union do we happen to have the video of the grocery store from like 1989 i think it was

00:31:46.320 We've got some photos.

00:31:47.540 Okay, some photos.

00:31:48.500 Play the photo or show the photos here.

00:31:50.480 This is grocery stores in 1989 in the former Soviet Union.

00:31:56.280 Oh, wow.

00:31:57.020 There's the meat counter.

00:31:58.380 There's nothing in it.

00:32:00.040 There's nothing in the freezer.

00:32:02.420 Nothing.

00:32:03.220 Look at that.

00:32:03.940 Complete.

00:32:04.460 This is 1989.

00:32:06.740 This is not a long time ago.

00:32:08.080 It was when Boris Yeltsin came over to a U.S. grocery store and saw the grocery stores here.

00:32:14.520 the shock on his face there it is when he's walking through the grocery stores and that's

00:32:20.480 published overseas that's when the wall comes down because everybody's like good what that's

00:32:27.580 what capitalism does we want that the other is what socialism does so it's just you know you

00:32:36.220 decide now story number two on Mondani Mondani puts out a let's call it for what it is they're

00:32:43.640 saying it's doxing. I think it's a hit list. He puts out a hit list. He publishes the names of

00:32:50.280 everyone who owns a home over $5 million. That is a second home. Okay. So he's taxing them already.

00:32:57.660 And he gloated, Hey, rich people better check your mail. You've got mail. We're going to start

00:33:04.280 taxing you because you have to pay your fair share. This week he publishes the list of everyone

00:33:11.940 and their address.

00:33:15.720 Give me some of the names who are on this that would vote for him.

00:33:19.300 Oh, give me a couple seconds.

00:33:20.400 Anna Wintour is one of them.

00:33:23.140 I think, oh, what's his name?

00:33:26.380 From Tribeca, I think is another one.

00:33:29.720 The guy who was the director of The Godfather, he's another one.

00:33:33.900 Cynthia Nixon.

00:33:34.960 Cynthia Nixon. 0.99

00:33:36.120 She was one of them.

00:33:37.120 Okay, so he's giving out their name and address.

00:33:45.320 Why?

00:33:47.500 Why?

00:33:48.380 Why would you do that?

00:33:50.140 What is the purpose for that?

00:33:53.400 Your purpose is to shame them and to scare them.

00:33:58.640 Now I've just given the socialist mob the address of your home.

00:34:03.200 If you fight back with me, they have your address.

00:34:08.440 This guy is.

00:34:10.220 I'm sorry, but he has every earmark of a communist dictator.

00:34:14.520 He has every earmark of a really, look, socialism has been tried 100, I think it's 170 times

00:34:22.520 in America.

00:34:23.500 And a lot of times they've been done by people who are better angels.

00:34:26.800 They have just the best of intentions.

00:34:28.920 They really want to try it.

00:34:30.640 And they've done it.

00:34:31.340 We've started town after town after town after town.

00:34:34.440 I'm going to do a special on this.

00:34:36.480 The number of times that socialism has been tried in America by really good and smart people, and it's failed every single time.

00:34:46.240 Okay, those are good people.

00:34:48.240 These are people that are already showing you they will silence you.

00:34:52.760 They will use the street mob to silence you or get you to comply.

00:34:57.360 those other social experiments that wasn't like that didn't happen that way those were better

00:35:04.700 angels these are worse angels now they're putting out a hit and call it what it is they're saying

00:35:09.800 it's doxing it's a hit list don't screw with us don't you dare disagree with us don't you dare

00:35:17.820 waiver because people know where you live now they know who's on the list that's really dangerous

00:35:27.560 jason it's and it's not only just the people that have been outed on this some people as you would

00:35:33.880 expect from the government are they're they're they're claiming that they have no idea why

00:35:39.380 they're on the list so this includes uh district six democrat gail brewer who said of her upper

00:35:44.780 west side brownstone i've been living in my place 365 days a year since 94 so this whole list must

00:35:51.840 be messed up what else would you expect a government right it's a government list of

00:35:58.260 course it's and where do you go where do you go to get your safety back oh you can't at this moment

00:36:04.220 Nope. Nope. Did you hear that the Iranians have put out a list, a kill, a hit list of Barron and Melania Trump, and they have listed publicly all of the stores and everything where they shop, and they're encouraging somebody to shoot them and kill them?

00:36:29.720 Can I ask you, with an exception of requesting you to shoot them, what's the difference between the Iranian list and this list?

00:36:41.840 Because we've already demonstrated over and over again, these people cheer when you kill a rich person or a CEO.

00:36:50.240 You're a hero for killing a CEO.

00:36:53.060 So, honestly, what is the difference between the kill list from the Iraqis and the doxing list from Mamdani, other than he didn't outright say it?

00:37:08.720 Do you feel that's a safe move?

00:37:11.640 Is there anybody who is a Democrat that go, no, that's nothing like that.

00:37:17.860 There is no evidence of anyone cheering for the death of a CEO.

00:37:25.980 There's nobody on our side that would kill somebody because they're rich.

00:37:30.120 It's not possible.

00:37:32.380 If that is you, you're delusional.

00:37:36.420 And seek medical attention because you're delusional.

00:39:22.480 Real people still matter Glenn Beck back in a moment

00:39:52.480 You know, I am constantly racking my brain on how to talk to my kids even about socialism without their eyes glazing over.

00:40:01.920 And I want to suggest to you that you try this week the Socratic method.

00:40:07.020 And that is a way of teaching just by asking questions, thoughtful questions, rather than giving any answers.

00:40:13.120 Just help your kids think critically.

00:40:16.280 I want to know, does it work?

00:40:18.340 You tell me.

00:40:19.040 I want you to try these, and I'm going to ask you to call into the show if you're willing to try these.

00:40:24.600 I've got them posted at glenbeck.com.

00:40:26.920 Try these questions.

00:40:28.300 When you say socialism, do you mean the government pays for things or the government owns things?

00:40:32.860 Because they're two different countries.

00:40:35.600 When you mean Denmark, that's a market economy with strong property rights and a very large welfare system.

00:40:41.880 So are you talking about a welfare system or are you talking about changing everything?

00:40:45.780 You know, if it means that the government pays for things, then we've been socialists in 1790.

00:40:50.760 So which do you mean?

00:40:52.840 When you say the system is rigged, rigged exactly by whom?

00:40:57.240 And whom are you giving the right to stop that rigging?

00:41:02.660 And how do you know that they're not rigged?

00:41:05.420 How much does a loaf of bread cost?

00:41:08.300 Who is the one that sets the price of bread?

00:41:12.280 Because it's not just the guy in the grocery store.

00:41:14.220 Who is that? Name one country where the state took ownership of means of production and the poor got richer.

00:41:21.800 I'm not being cute. I really want to know. Can you name one place in history where it has happened and has been a huge success?

00:41:31.660 There's a whole bunch of these things. And I want you to ask your kids these questions and see.

00:41:36.860 It's a great way to judge how they're thinking, where they are in their mentality, and how angry do they get at honest questions.

00:41:48.280 Just ask questions.

00:41:49.560 Don't try to sell them anything.

00:41:50.660 Just ask questions.

00:41:51.680 If you're just asking questions and they get really hostile, they are very confused, they don't have any answers, and they're afraid that they don't have any answers.

00:42:03.400 So have compassion with that.

00:42:05.880 And then we'll have you call in Thursday or Friday to tell us how has it gone.

00:45:19.800 to rest. He'll have another private ceremony down there, I believe. But there's a story in

00:45:24.940 the Washington Post that Lindsey Graham's death has left Trump reflecting on his own mortality.

00:45:31.860 I don't think it's Lindsey Graham's death alone, but there is something going on with the president.

00:45:36.740 And I want to talk about that here for just a second.

00:45:40.440 We'll do that in 60 seconds.

00:45:42.740 First, you remember playing the game Telephone as a kid, you know,

00:45:46.200 where somebody whispers a message into the first person's ear

00:45:49.200 and they pass it to the next person, the next person.

00:45:50.840 And by the time it gets to the end of the line, it's like, you know,

00:45:54.240 peanut butter has always been good for your car.

00:45:56.620 And you're like, what?

00:45:59.380 Somehow it got to peanut butter as good for everybody's car

00:46:02.960 when the actual line was 1.00

00:46:04.420 my grandmother was actually an octopus. 0.55

00:46:07.460 Anyway, it's a hilarious game

00:46:09.300 when you're eight years old.

00:46:10.300 It's a lot less fun

00:46:11.300 when you're trying to coordinate

00:46:12.120 with your family or your friends.

00:46:14.180 You know, a group of people

00:46:15.000 actually need to stay on the same page.

00:46:17.580 I don't know.

00:46:18.160 We're supposed to be someplace 1.00

00:46:56.440 so this uh story uh from the washington post his sudden death this month has rattled the president

00:47:06.020 according to trump's public remarks and two people familiar with his private comments

00:47:11.980 in the days that followed trump returned repeatedly to the loss public marveling at

00:47:16.600 how somebody so active could be gone privately musing on whether the senators pushing or

00:47:22.040 punishing travel schedule had contributed and searching for answers in his family history and

00:47:27.200 genetics. His sudden passing came on the eve of the two-year anniversary of the assassination

00:47:31.780 attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, where his survivor probably came down to a matter of

00:47:37.700 centimeters. Had Trump turned his head in a different direction, a bullet could have hit

00:47:41.580 his head rather than his ear. That near-death experience prompted his own period of reflection.

00:47:46.540 Trump told Newsmax on July 13 he had repeatedly reviewed the video.

00:47:53.400 There is a change in Donald Trump.

00:48:05.960 And I don't know what it is exactly.

00:48:07.920 Could be he's 80.

00:48:10.600 I mean, there's a change in me, and I'm 62.

00:48:12.860 And you get to a point to where you realize, wait a minute, there's fewer years ahead than there are behind.

00:48:22.560 And what's really important?

00:48:26.260 And you start changing.

00:48:27.720 And it's good.

00:48:28.360 It's healthy.

00:48:28.880 It's normal.

00:48:29.900 He's 80.

00:48:32.000 But he's also had so many brushes with death and so many people trying to kill him all the time.

00:48:37.760 Just today, we find out that Iran has put a hit out on his wife and his son.

00:48:43.760 And they've gone as far as saying, here's where they like to shop in New York.

00:48:48.680 So if you see them, kill them.

00:48:51.040 That's insanity.

00:48:52.600 How do you live with that?

00:48:56.840 You know, everybody lives a life where, you know, there's a season in your life where everything,

00:49:04.200 the noise becomes quieter.

00:49:09.860 Even if the crowds are growing louder.

00:49:14.640 And we look at this guy who has spent

00:49:17.520 decades fighting, winning, losing, arguing

00:49:21.200 and returning to the arena

00:49:23.060 and we look at them and they think even

00:49:27.360 it's never going to end. They never think about the end.

00:49:32.660 And

00:49:34.200 It's the confidence that they have, and that confidence leaves no room for contemplating things like that.

00:49:41.960 And Donald Trump is not a guy to do that.

00:49:44.840 But I think surviving something that takes your life, or almost takes your life, I think that changes the arithmetic.

00:49:53.420 You know, when literally a few centimeters become the distance between yesterday and eternity, and you still have people pointing guns at you,

00:50:04.200 I think every sunrise carries different weight.

00:50:08.860 It has to.

00:50:11.000 And I don't think it's fear with him.

00:50:13.400 I think it's just awareness.

00:50:17.220 He's been, you know, he's always talked.

00:50:19.880 I've got good genes.

00:50:21.000 We live forever.

00:50:21.880 We live, you know, not meaning we actually live forever.

00:50:24.300 Although, we live, now there's people on the left, Glenn Beck.

00:50:30.200 He knows.

00:50:31.200 He knows something.

00:50:31.820 Donald Trump's going to live forever and he's going to run forever.

00:50:35.640 Anyway, when someone you've known for years is suddenly gone and they're close to you

00:50:43.480 and they're of your age, Lindsey Graham, your mind begins asking questions that it never

00:50:49.320 bothered to ask before.

00:50:50.520 And if you've ever had a friend die at your age or younger than you, you know.

00:50:55.820 How did that happen?

00:50:57.900 I mean, I just talked to him two days ago.

00:50:59.520 He was perfect.

00:51:00.320 He was fine.

00:51:01.460 There was no warning.

00:51:03.860 Could he have known?

00:51:05.080 Did he know?

00:51:06.240 How would you know?

00:51:07.480 Man, then you're like, I could drop dead tomorrow myself.

00:51:13.380 And the questions that you ask yourself,

00:51:15.520 and I think what the president is asking himself today,

00:51:18.880 is not really about the one who died.

00:51:21.380 It's about everybody who is still living.

00:51:25.080 And the president lives in a box I can't even imagine.

00:51:31.000 he lives in this place when we were at the white house uh i've been to the white house now for

00:51:39.620 almost 30 years going in and out of the white house it's changed the president has always

00:51:47.860 lived in a bubble but not like now my gosh it is i've i've during the fourth of july you couldn't

00:51:57.040 get within two blocks of the White House. Literally, you couldn't get within two blocks.

00:52:05.980 And he lives in this box. Millions are cheering him. Millions are criticizing him. Millions are

00:52:12.060 threatening to kill him. I mean, around the world. And yet, he's living through this. And every

00:52:19.140 morning, unseen professionals are waking up thinking about one thing and one thing. Just

00:52:24.040 keep the man alive until nightfall. Just keep him alive until he goes to bed. Every trip, every

00:52:31.080 speech, every handshake, every open field is now measured against possibilities most people never

00:52:36.960 have to consider. And that's going on through not only his head, but the head of his family all the

00:52:42.300 time. I mean, it's natural for a husband to think about his wife. It's natural for a father to think

00:52:47.940 about his daughters or his son. Public office doesn't erase those instincts. If anything, I

00:52:53.220 think it sharpens them. And when the threats extend beyond you and the people you love,

00:52:59.420 mortality begins, you know, it stops being abstract and is a daily companion.

00:53:09.360 And that changes you. I know it. It changes you.

00:53:17.940 I've noticed, I've seen a change in him. I've seen his words change.

00:53:23.220 I hear him mention death more often than he did.

00:53:28.340 I see him reflect on things instead of just charging ahead.

00:53:34.160 And I guess some people will say it's politics, you know, or it's just rhetoric or whatever.

00:53:38.860 But I think the real possibility is that surviving violence and then losing friends have given him perspective

00:53:50.700 that only arrives after you're close enough to an encounter that shows you how fragile life is.

00:54:00.660 You know, Martin Luther King, his mountaintop speech in Memphis, a stranger one.

00:54:13.840 You know, this is the one where he said, I may not make it with the mountaintop, I think the day before he died.

00:54:18.200 But on February 4th, 1968, he preached the drum major instinct.

00:54:24.000 And he told the congregation that he wanted, what he wanted said at his funeral.

00:54:29.220 No Nobel Prize, no awards, just that he tried to feed the hungry.

00:54:34.060 He preached his own eulogy, and it was played at his funeral.

00:54:41.520 JFK, the morning that he was shot, he was in Fort Worth.

00:54:45.660 He told Jackie and Kenny O'Donnell,

00:54:49.140 look, if somebody wants to shoot me from an open window with a rifle,

00:54:52.660 nobody's going to be able to stop it.

00:54:53.880 his favorite poem was i have a rendezvous with death malcolm x told alex haley he didn't expect

00:55:04.280 to read the finnish autobiography his house was firebombed on february 14 1965 he was killed on

00:55:11.600 the 21st lincoln famously had the dream but nobody can really document that for sure for sure

00:55:18.660 But his farewell address in 1861 out of Springfield, when he was saying goodbye to Springfield, he said he was leaving for a task greater than Washington, and I don't know if I'll ever return from that task.

00:55:36.100 Sometimes people have premonitions.

00:55:38.260 Is it premonition, really?

00:55:39.360 I think it might just be clarity that somebody has about their own future.

00:55:51.640 And the clarity is, I've counted the cost, I've priced it, and I keep walking anyway.

00:55:59.520 And that takes a heavy toll on somebody.

00:56:01.980 I don't know whether President Trump, you know, senses an ending here or just appreciates the situation that he's in, is just appreciating the fact that he's the president of the United States and sometimes it doesn't work out well.

00:56:23.480 The bravest people are not always the people who believe they can't die.

00:56:29.220 Sometimes they're the ones that know they absolutely can die, but they keep walking through their responsibilities anyway.

00:56:42.680 In the end, every president leaves office, every senator leaves office, every public figure leaves the stage, and all of us will reach our final chapter.

00:56:52.600 the measure of a person

00:56:55.520 is not whether they can outrun

00:56:58.800 their own mortality

00:57:00.080 because we can't

00:57:00.820 even though people in Silicon Valley

00:57:02.080 are trying to live forever

00:57:03.120 I don't want to live forever

00:57:04.240 honestly

00:57:04.860 I'd like to go home

00:57:06.180 it's not whether you can outrun

00:57:09.600 your mortality

00:57:10.240 it's whether you can embrace

00:57:13.840 your own mortality

00:57:14.760 and continue to love

00:57:16.180 and serve

00:57:16.940 and hope

00:57:17.560 and carry your burden

00:57:19.440 despite knowing that time

00:57:21.660 doesn't belong to any of us.

00:57:23.860 We are living under borrowed stars.

00:57:34.100 I thought of this today

00:57:35.420 because of the story in the Washington Post,

00:57:40.680 because of Lindsey Graham's funeral today,

00:57:46.100 but also because it's been on my mind for a while.

00:57:51.660 on President Trump and his family.

00:58:01.540 I would just ask today

00:58:03.740 that you would reflect on that.

00:58:07.960 I don't care if you voted for him or not.

00:58:11.460 And I would be saying exactly the same thing

00:58:13.660 if this was happening to Barack Obama or Joe Biden.

00:58:16.500 If people were threatening his life,

00:58:18.580 if people were targeting his family and his children like this,

00:58:21.660 I'd be saying exactly the same thing.

00:58:25.520 And don't think I wouldn't.

00:58:32.420 But it's almost too much for anybody to handle.

00:58:35.780 I don't know how you don't age.

00:58:40.240 I've lived a sliver of this.

00:58:43.680 And I can't tell you what it does to a person and their family.

00:58:51.660 what it must be doing to the president and his family

00:58:56.420 is beyond my understanding.

00:59:01.720 And I would ask that you would pray for him.

00:59:05.000 All right, let me tell you about Rough Greens.

00:59:09.460 Rough Greens is something for your dog.

00:59:13.660 And normally we talk about their food,

00:59:14.960 but we tend to think of water as an on-off switch.

00:59:17.880 You drink it, you're hydrated.

00:59:19.080 You don't, you're not.

00:59:20.360 But that's not really how it works.

00:59:21.660 After exercise or hot weather or just getting older, your dog just isn't losing water.

00:59:25.980 They're also losing electrolytes and nutrients that help the body recover and keep everything running the way it should.

00:59:32.260 That's why I want you to check out Ruff H2O.

00:59:34.940 It's a hydration powder made specifically for your dog.

00:59:43.580 It also provides electrolytes that replenish what's been lost.

01:00:20.560 10 seconds, station ID.

01:00:35.620 So I'm looking at some Torch Insider reactions.

01:00:39.740 they said uh deborah wrote and said glenn change happened in reagan after he was shot too it's true

01:00:45.760 uh jane maybe has the feeling they're going to assassinate him i don't know how you can't have

01:00:51.320 that feeling i mean he lives with that all the time and you know everywhere he goes i mean i

01:01:00.220 don't know if you saw the documentary but when melania was talking about them walking in the

01:01:04.640 pray can you keep him alive that's what i want to know can you keep him alive well i mean just the

01:01:13.740 well we think so yeah i think so i mean that changes anybody um let's see uh marty in arizona

01:01:24.240 cave creek glenn anyone uh would be more thoughtful after having the nightmare he has lived

01:01:30.980 I hope he's praying a lot.

01:01:32.720 I think he is.

01:01:34.240 I am 1791.

01:01:35.320 I'm not saying Trump is Lincoln,

01:01:36.720 but he is facing something Lincoln immediately would recognize.

01:01:40.220 Assassination attempt and leftists wanting him dead

01:01:42.520 has got to wear on anyone, including Trump.

01:01:44.980 Colleen says, remember, President Trump was close to Charlie too.

01:01:55.860 Peachy in Georgia says...

01:02:00.980 Trump is probably looking around to see that it's becoming less and less about himself and more about his wife and family.

01:02:10.860 Living for them is more important.

01:02:12.880 I think so.

01:02:16.060 Jason, what do you have on this threat from Iran?

01:02:19.660 I mean, you want to talk about global war.

01:02:25.080 The United States, did you see that he left a message for the next president

01:02:29.580 in case something would happen to him so it would go to J.D. Vance?

01:02:33.680 I mean, I don't think J.D. Vance needs a note on what to do unless it's do not respond.

01:02:40.380 Yeah, those kind of tactics are what I expected,

01:02:43.420 and I think the intelligence community everyone expected once this war started

01:02:46.920 because this is not a typical war with a regime that's just concerned about regime survival.

01:02:54.220 These are radical Islamists.

01:02:56.120 That's what the Iranian regime is.

01:02:57.920 What would our response be? 1.00

01:02:58.880 They kill the first lady. 1.00

01:03:00.440 Can you? 1.00

01:03:03.660 Yeah, you would have a full, in probably about two to four months, you would have a full

01:03:11.020 occupation of Iran by U.S. troops.

01:03:14.420 And about, it would take a while for them to build up, you know, the force, but that's

01:03:18.280 what you would see.

01:03:19.420 That's what we would demand, you know, to be quite honest.

01:03:22.900 But I was going to say, while you were doing this, you said, actually, you know, you can't imagine what he's going through.

01:03:28.680 I agree with part, disagree with some, because I think on the scale, the Secret Service just said that the scale of violent threats against President Trump are record shattering at the moment.

01:03:41.480 So the scale is immense, but you are one of the few people in the world really that know exactly what this does to you, your psyche, everything, your health, everything.

01:03:54.180 Not too many people have gotten to a point where the threats are at a certain level where you never see when you stay in a hotel, you never see anything but back hallways and service entrances and exits.

01:04:06.180 You are one of those few people.

01:04:08.020 What does that do to your health just to worry about, oh, my gosh, this is the only way I can do this because there are this threat, this threat, and this threat?

01:04:16.080 Some of them you probably didn't even know about.

01:04:18.360 So I don't think it does.

01:04:19.880 I mean, yes, it plays a role, you know, and I think about it.

01:04:22.620 But you get to a point, and I think Trump has done this because you've heard him talk about, you know, we all got to die some point.

01:04:27.880 You have to get to a point to where you just accept it.

01:04:30.600 You're just like, yep, somebody shoots me.

01:04:32.060 Somebody shoots me.

01:04:32.680 That's it.

01:04:34.760 Where it is tough is the family.

01:04:37.260 I did a speech a couple of weeks ago.

01:04:40.060 My son was in the audience and somebody asked a question and they said, what is it like for your family?

01:04:46.020 And I just looked at my, we weren't talking about security.

01:04:48.940 And I looked at my son.

01:04:50.240 I said, you want to answer that?

01:04:51.360 And so he stood up and I don't remember his answer exactly, but he got a little teary eyed.

01:04:55.400 And he said, it's been difficult.

01:05:00.120 We've had a very different childhood.

01:05:02.540 Um, the, the toll on the family is really what gets you in the end. And it's not just him. You

01:05:15.840 know, my kids are not targeted. His kids are. His wife is targeted. That's going to take an immense

01:05:23.420 toll on this guy. Pray for him. Pray for him. Okay. They've been looking into, uh, the media

01:05:30.560 that have been taking orders from China.

01:05:33.480 Well, there is an investigative reporter who says,

01:05:36.280 I've got some dirt.

01:05:37.400 I've got the proof.

01:05:38.740 She'll share it with us next.

01:05:40.420 There's a certain rhythm to life when your body works the way it is supposed to.

01:05:44.460 You wake up, you stretch, you move into your day

01:05:46.260 without thinking about every step, every reach, every bend,

01:05:48.480 and you don't fully realize how much that matters until one day you do.

01:05:53.300 Because when pain and discomfort settle in,

01:05:55.500 even the small moments can start to feel like huge obstacles.

01:05:58.720 Tie your shoes.

01:05:59.480 Think about it first.

01:06:00.100 sit up, stand up, get out of a car, little internal negotiation every time. And it's not

01:06:05.720 dramatic. It's just grinding and constant. It's that feeling that you have to consider your body

01:06:10.400 when you just used to just use it. What relief factor does is help you get back to that effortless

01:06:16.220 part of living, not through numbing or masking or ignoring anything, but by supporting your body's

01:06:21.620 natural response to discomfort. The moments that, you know, where you can feel like you can move

01:06:26.800 again not through calculation over a million people have tried relief factor two-thirds of

01:06:31.300 them have gone on to buy more month after month and i'm one of them you can get three weeks just

01:06:56.040 Raise your kids to love this republic and celebrate the summer of 250 at glennbeck.com.

01:07:00.500 So remember a couple of weeks ago,

01:07:25.520 the president gave a really, really stunning address to the nation, said things I've never

01:07:32.120 heard before, that there were people that, you know, that the, that foreign governments were

01:07:37.280 infiltrating, not just our, um, our voting system, but they were also using social media for

01:07:44.780 propaganda. Okay. We knew that, but also that they were buying off journalists, mainstream

01:07:52.180 journalist and looking for those journalists that would continue to report even more negative

01:07:57.620 stories on Donald Trump. And nobody was talking about it. Listen to him say this.

01:08:03.800 The Chinese government sought to identify U.S. journalists who had reported negatively on the

01:08:10.640 U.S. president and pay them large sums of money to write more negative articles about him,

01:08:16.800 as many as they could, and they didn't care what they said.

01:08:21.940 The Chinese government wanted U.S. president to lose the next election,

01:08:26.180 and the reason they wanted me to lose is because they knew I was wise to them,

01:08:32.800 charged them billions and billions of dollars worth of tariffs,

01:08:36.580 and built the strongest military anywhere in the world.

01:08:41.600 I don't think I've ever seen a president go through what he has gone through

01:08:45.640 or exposed what he was willing to expose.

01:08:48.580 And the media did nothing.

01:08:50.020 One reason might be because some of them are on China's payroll.

01:08:54.560 Natalie Winters, she is the co-host of Bannon's War Room.

01:08:58.060 She's the White House correspondent there.

01:09:00.520 And she says she has dug up evidence

01:09:03.740 and she can name names of people who are on China's payroll.

01:09:08.980 Natalie, welcome to the program.

01:09:11.400 Thank you so much for having me on.

01:09:13.620 How confident are you that you have real solid evidence of people being on the payroll?

01:09:22.160 And when I say being on the payroll, what does that mean?

01:09:27.540 Sure.

01:09:27.920 Well, I'm as confident in my heart that I know that the PRC is America's existential threat.

01:09:34.120 Now, I think there's no secret discussion that we talk about when could things turn

01:09:39.360 kinetic with the Chinese Communist Party.

01:09:41.720 But unfortunately, as we're learning today, something I think many of us have known for years, the information warfare has already started and the Chinese Communist Party runs a multibillion dollar apparatus, not just to take over newsrooms by them, but to cultivate people from within, to push stories that are beneficial or advantageous towards the Chinese Communist Party, but also kind of forward deploying these, you know, intellectual, I would call them pseudo intellectual assets who all of a sudden start saying things like,

01:10:10.820 well, President Trump's claims about, you know, Chinese election interference, well,

01:10:14.540 they're fake. Or President Trump is a candidate actually that we shouldn't like. So I want to

01:10:19.080 walk people through the story because I think the receipts matter here and are really important and

01:10:22.860 actually enrich the story. And we actually can name names. So there was an organization called

01:10:28.060 the China United States Exchange Foundation. Now, this is a group that is at the tip of the spear

01:10:33.600 of China's United Front Work Department. Now, the United Front Work Department is explicitly part

01:10:39.320 of the Chinese Communist Party. It's how they seek and really work to co-opt. Co-opt and neutralize

01:10:45.920 is the exact term. American elites, Western elites, those in politics, those in media,

01:10:51.320 those in academia, kind of influencers of thought, at least maybe in the old guard.

01:10:56.220 And QCEF is run by a bunch of PRC, CCP apparatchiks who have ties, direct ties to the

01:11:02.460 regime. And they retained, now this has been going on for over nearly two decades, but back in the

01:11:07.900 early 2000s, they retained a bunch of Western lobbyists, various firms to connect them with

01:11:15.300 American journalists that they were seeking and really working to find those that they could get

01:11:20.740 preferential treatment from. And the point of this program was to get favorable coverage and

01:11:27.600 disseminate positive messages. What am I quoting? The Farrah documents. Now, the stories had a lot

01:11:33.740 of legs because within these foreign agent registration acts, you can see the way that

01:11:38.400 these lobbyists were working with journalists on behalf of an intermediary with QSEF to take

01:11:43.960 them either on free trips to China or have these private dinners, either with CCP officials or

01:11:49.920 people who are part of that United Front Work Department, which is just an espionage and

01:11:53.860 propaganda front for the Chinese Communist Party. Why this story is so explosive is because I

01:11:59.840 actually have the names of people and I'll rattle them off for you. But hang on, hang on, hang on,

01:12:05.240 hang on, hang on. Before you do that, before you do that, answer this question. Yes. I would expect

01:12:10.680 that, you know, people would say a trip paid for didn't, doesn't mean it influenced me.

01:12:16.980 Doesn't mean I gave anything in exchange. I went to learn their point of view or whatever.

01:12:23.380 And lots of people who are pro-Israel, pro-Qatar, pro-Saudi Arabia, countries do this all the time, and they'll pay for people's trips over there.

01:12:33.380 And that doesn't necessarily mean that you're bought and paid for.

01:12:38.020 Before you announce the names, what leads you to believe that these trips actually did buy them?

01:12:45.600 Positive coverage.

01:12:46.940 Sure.

01:12:47.300 First of all, the Chinese Communist Party is, I think, uniquely distinct from some of those countries that you rattled off.

01:12:52.520 right? First of all, their influence and espionage apparatus is something that you can't just go over

01:12:57.620 there and expect to not, frankly, end up in some form of compromise or blackmail. They're running

01:13:02.000 basically intel ops on these journalists. So there's that component too. But the explicit

01:13:06.420 pay-for-play, I mean, it's just evidenced in the reporting. For example, there's a sister group to

01:13:12.420 QSEF. It's called the Committee of 100. It's a little more US-based, but I actually obtained,

01:13:17.300 I just published the story, but a leaked document from them. They unintentionally put it up

01:13:22.060 on their website. And it was an internal trip report. So this was a report where they were

01:13:27.540 talking about five journalists that had gone to China. They were saying it was $60,000 a person

01:13:34.120 that they were covering their expenses. And they were literally itemizing the articles that they

01:13:39.680 got in return from these people after they came back, even having some of these journalists give

01:13:44.900 them direct commentary and quotes about how these trips, you know, quote, changed their perspective

01:13:49.960 of China. Now, Glenn, you get it better than anyone, right? These laws about FARA disclosures

01:13:54.720 and the financing, it's kind of like the COVID origins game. They say, oh, well, because I didn't

01:13:59.740 publish the check that I got or the wire transfer, therefore you can't prove that I was paid by

01:14:04.560 China. First of all, anybody, let alone people who lecture us on how we're destroying democracy,

01:14:09.460 who is so in bed with the Chinese Communist Party, not some euphemistic friendship group,

01:14:14.440 a communist influence group literally designed to overtake the United States from within,

01:14:18.720 there's nothing altruistic there you know what you're getting into and when you can see some of

01:14:23.520 the stories that these people publish which by the way it's not just that they're getting free

01:14:27.640 airfare in a hotel these are like i was saying trips that are costing extensive amounts of money

01:14:33.060 they're going they're touring huawei facilities they're touring military bases i mean they're

01:14:37.520 touring sanctioned companies um in the united states but one trip a participant upon return

01:14:44.380 She literally published an article, quote, China bashing is for losers.

01:14:47.860 You have another one praising everything that China has done on climate change.

01:14:52.080 One warned that, quote, decoupling from China would backfire.

01:14:55.180 A Washington Post editor literally published a story titled Team Trump should be careful what it wishes for on China.

01:15:01.260 They said that China doesn't currency manipulate.

01:15:03.880 TPP is great.

01:15:05.000 The scrutiny of Huawei is miscreased.

01:15:07.020 And this is a direct quote from Senator Duet.

01:15:09.220 Americans should accept that large scale manufacturing will never return to the United States.

01:15:14.380 Wow. Wow. Okay. All right. You made that point. So give me the names.

01:15:20.220 Sure. So there's a lot. So bear with me, but you have Ezra Klein, the Vox co-founder and New York

01:15:26.220 Times columnist, Matthew Iglesias, the Vox co-founder, Ronald Brownstein, a CNN senior

01:15:31.760 political analyst and Atlantic senior editor, Bradford Plumer, a New York Times reporter,

01:15:36.180 Marjorie Miller, former AP vice president and editor, Steve Clemens, former editor at Large

01:15:40.700 of the Hill, David Rode, now an MSNOW correspondent, Jonathan Alter, an MSNBC commentator, David

01:15:46.240 Sweeney, a former NPR managing editor, how's that for NPR being communist, Daniel Gross,

01:15:51.380 former Yahoo Finance columnist, Marilyn Guy Wax, a former NPR senior editor, Kathleen

01:15:56.180 Devaney, former Newsweek and Wall Street Journal marketplace editor, Tom Olmstad, former U.S.

01:16:00.680 News and World Report correspondent, Steve Chapman, former Chicago Tribune columnist

01:16:05.120 and editorial writer, Bruce Stokes, former National Journal correspondent, Craig Gilbert,

01:16:09.500 former Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Washington Bureau Chief, Tony Samarad, Salt Lake Tribune

01:16:14.280 Reporter, Sheikha Dalmia, Columnist for the Week, Jonathan Broder, Newsweek Senior Writer,

01:16:18.800 Christy Kemp, Chicago Tribune Associate Managing Editor, John Healy, LA Times Deputy Editorial

01:16:24.080 Page Editor, and Julian Peckett, former Foreign Affairs Reporter.

01:16:28.120 I don't mean to interrupt here.

01:16:29.940 Would it be simpler just to say who's not on this list?

01:16:33.160 and remember these people have lectured us for like over a decade that we're the ones destroying

01:16:39.980 democracy meanwhile they're literally collaborating with the foremost existential threat to democracy

01:16:44.680 at large but glenn here's the most important thing too these names were never disclosed

01:16:50.020 in the fara filings i only got these names by sleuthing together old might i add deleted

01:16:55.720 frankly chinese language pamphlets from the chinese organizations themselves so these people

01:17:01.900 never really disclosed these trips. And what's so interesting, I find about the Chinese information

01:17:07.240 warfare space is back in 2010, they were more focused on shaping how Americans viewed China,

01:17:12.880 right? Joint partnerships are good. We should outsource our manufacturing. Now it's more about

01:17:18.020 attacking Trump, attacking people who are tough on China, shaping how Americans actually engage

01:17:23.980 with our foremost adversary. I think also what's going on with the data centers

01:17:31.320 is extraordinarily dangerous as well.

01:17:34.520 I mean, I don't mind if people in America

01:17:36.400 make up their mind that they're against data centers

01:17:38.380 as long as it's their mind that has been made up

01:17:41.160 and it is not due to influence from Chinese money

01:17:46.380 or Chinese propaganda.

01:17:48.080 And that's really, really hard.

01:17:49.600 It's also amazing to me,

01:17:51.060 there is so much talk about AIPAC,

01:17:52.980 which is FARA,

01:17:54.380 and what they have influenced.

01:17:56.680 And people who don't know,

01:17:57.440 you don't know how they're,

01:17:58.560 And, you know, you're pretty much disclosed on everything.

01:18:02.340 And nobody talks about the influence of China.

01:18:05.220 Nobody is saying, hey, what about the journalists?

01:18:09.000 And I watched this speech a couple of weeks ago, or was it last week?

01:18:13.620 And maybe it was just me.

01:18:16.100 But when I was watching it, I thought, I don't think I've ever heard a president say anything this important like this in my lifetime.

01:18:27.720 And then the next morning, it was business as usual. Everybody said there was nothing that he announced. There was no big deal. Was that the impression you had when you saw that?

01:18:36.520 Yeah, I mean, if people maybe just heard one speech from Xi Jinping, they would see that

01:18:40.320 the PRC is at a people's war with us.

01:18:42.400 And I think President Trump matched that intensity with what he was talking about.

01:18:46.460 But you really can see, I mean, China's unrestricted warfare on full display.

01:18:49.980 And frankly, with that speech, you see why China hates President Trump so much, right?

01:18:54.000 Unrestricted warfare, this idea of weaponizing information warfare, political warfare, legal

01:18:58.580 warfare in lieu of kinetic conflict, not because they don't want to go kinetic.

01:19:03.120 They would just prefer, they've seen, you know, I think our mishaps when it comes to extending maybe too far across the globe with actual troops, they would much prefer to just take over the information space. And QCEF is one of dozens of united front groups that are actively working to undermine the United States.

01:19:19.880 And QCEF itself also runs these same trips, not just for journalists, but for congressmen, former congressmen, think tank types, the Center for American Progress, the one that basically staffed the entire Obama administration, congressional staffers.

01:19:33.880 staffers. You want to talk about the degrees to which they control and really run American

01:19:38.480 politics. And even, believe it or not, partnering with the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation to

01:19:43.760 host a special delegation where they sent young Black Americans over to China to basically get

01:19:49.240 exposed to Chinese propaganda. And they had testimonials from the students when they came

01:19:53.000 back. One of them literally was praising China as a, quote, amazing communist country that was

01:19:57.220 superior to the United States. Wow. Natalie, thank you for the good work. I appreciate it.

01:20:02.760 Stay in touch with us.

01:20:03.540 If you have any more breaking news, just let us know.

01:20:05.140 Thank you.

01:20:05.800 Natalie Winters, Costa Bannon's War Room, and she has just written on her Substack an article,

01:20:12.320 Here are the mainstream journalists on China's payroll.

01:20:15.540 Natalie, gwinters.substack.com.

01:20:19.320 All right.

01:20:19.940 Back in just a minute.

01:20:20.780 Let me tell you about our sponsor.

01:20:22.480 Our sponsor, this half hour, is SuperSure.

01:20:25.660 There is an old saying that...

01:20:28.320 No, go ahead.

01:20:29.480 Go ahead, because this makes me feel so much better the government makes us do this.

01:20:32.760 Paid for by Supersure Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency.

01:20:37.180 Man, now I feel safe.

01:20:39.000 Now I feel safe.

01:20:39.720 Thank you, government.

01:20:40.680 Anyway, there's an old saying that a man who represents himself has a fool for a client.

01:20:44.760 That's probably true in a lot of professions, and it's especially true when it comes to business insurance.

01:20:48.800 Most business owners are not experts at running their insurance, unless they're an insurance company.

01:20:54.480 You're an expert at your business.

01:20:56.420 I don't know how to decipher insurance policies or compare coverage or even figure out exactly what I need.

01:21:03.300 That's why I like what SuperSure is doing.

01:21:05.500 Instead of handing you a stack of policies and wishing you luck, good luck with that,

01:21:09.760 they give you a dedicated advisor who takes the time to understand your business,

01:21:13.660 answer your questions, and then help you find the coverage that actually fits.

01:21:16.760 Because when it comes to protecting the business that you've worked so hard to build,

01:21:21.020 guessing is not a strategy.

01:21:22.600 Having somebody who knows what they're doing on your side is.

01:21:25.240 Right now, you can go to supersure.com slash Beck,

01:21:27.460 get a full report on your current policies, no obligation.

01:21:29.940 Find out if you're overinsured or underinsured or somewhere in between.

01:22:54.140 be forcing everybody to stay until you until you i'm hearing commercials or something in my ear

01:23:00.660 i don't know is that you jason um but uh i'm hearing anyway uh where was i uh so all of this

01:23:09.380 stuff we should be pushing them to the max we should non-stop be pushing the democrats we're

01:23:17.040 going to be here until midnight thune is so and he actually said last night that lee is demoralizing

01:23:23.720 our base how by telling us the truth is that is that what is is that how we demore you're accusing

01:23:30.580 mike lee of of what he said i mean what possible rationale could there be other than self-aggrandizement

01:23:36.980 yeah that's mike lee boy he's got an ego the size of texas doesn't he

01:23:41.780 self-aggrandizement what a this guy is he's the worst well he's soon the ballless rhino

01:23:50.600 I mean, need I say more, really?

01:23:56.960 Hey, do we have the Nobel Prize ready yet?

01:24:02.940 I have yet to see.

01:24:04.460 We need an insider to look at the actual Nobel Prize

01:24:07.920 and then show it to me,

01:24:09.380 and I want somebody to design a Nobel Prize.

01:24:14.500 And I want to make it look exactly the same,

01:24:16.320 except, I don't know, it'd be the back of a bull without...

01:24:18.780 Whatever it is, it's got to be the Nobel Prize, and that's with one L, not with two.

01:24:24.880 Two Ls, it's just too obvious and too crass.

01:24:27.440 But I want to award him the Nobel Prize, the very first ever Nobel Prize.

01:24:33.660 I mean, he is the biggest example of no balls I have seen in, well, maybe my lifetime.

01:24:48.780 As we celebrate America's 250th birthday this year, I'd like to ask you a question.

01:24:57.200 How much of the beef on America's grills actually come from America?

01:25:01.720 The answer is probably going to surprise you.

01:25:03.740 More than 85% of the grass-fed beef sold in grocery stores is not from America.

01:25:09.740 That's not good.

01:25:11.620 One of the reasons I like Good Ranchers is because of that number.

01:25:14.380 They partner with local farmers and ranchers to deliver 100% American meat straight to your door.

01:25:20.160 No imported mystery meat, just high-quality American beef, chicken, pork, and seafood raised right here.

01:25:27.280 I love what they're doing, bridging the gap between American families and American farms.

01:25:31.480 This July, Good Ranchers is celebrating all 50 states with $50 off anything on their site.

01:27:36.660 the award for sacklessness,

01:27:41.160 the Nobel Prize.

01:27:42.240 Sorry, the Nobel Prize.

01:27:44.640 And it's coming soon.

01:27:46.800 I'm so disgusted by him

01:27:48.860 and what he said.

01:27:49.740 The lies that they are spreading right now.

01:27:52.140 It's just remarkable.

01:27:54.220 The cowardice and the laziness.

01:27:57.120 They're not willing to do any of the work.

01:28:00.340 I'd have no problem with you.

01:28:02.540 If you were doing all the work,

01:28:04.200 you were doing everything you can

01:28:05.480 and you failed.

01:28:06.660 It's not a problem. Failure is not a problem.

01:28:09.600 The lack of trying is the problem.

01:28:13.020 Now I sound like I'm preaching to my kids,

01:28:15.700 except a little more vehemently with the ballless wonder.

01:28:20.840 All right. Coming up, I want to talk to you a little bit about,

01:28:24.760 you know, there was the Islamist attack on the Berlin Pride Festival.

01:28:30.200 You're not going to believe. Well, yes, you will.

01:28:32.760 You've been here. We've seen this movie before.

01:28:35.080 You won't believe what the left is saying about this.

01:28:37.920 And I want you to have a little talk with the left on this because you're headed for trouble.

01:28:43.460 Headed for trouble.

01:28:44.740 First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

01:28:46.100 I want you to take a look at your phone for just a minute.

01:28:49.320 Okay, you probably were already looking at your phone.

01:28:51.260 Anyway, it's the thing that holds your whole family, your work, your memories, your day-to-day life, all inside of it.

01:28:57.200 And just for the privilege, most people pay companies a share.

01:29:01.040 none of us, none of the, we pay these people and they don't, they don't agree with a lot of our

01:29:07.780 values. In fact, they go against a lot of our values. They, they take our money that we're

01:29:12.240 giving them and they push ideas we'd never agree with. Patriot Mobile is the alternative that a

01:29:17.740 lot of people don't know they could have. They're America's only Christian conservative wireless

01:29:21.560 provider. They give you the same nationwide coverage that, you know, you're used to without

01:29:26.540 feeling like you're funding a worldview that you disagree with they support causes that matter

01:29:31.440 first responders veterans religious freedom the sanctity of life and they make all the switching

01:29:36.840 incredibly easy whether you bring your existing phone or you get a new one you don't have to

01:29:41.520 compromise to have reliable service with patriot mobile you get both great coverage and a company

01:29:46.860 that actually stands for what you stand for and is putting their money and their labor behind it

01:29:52.500 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck

01:29:54.520 972PATRIOT

01:29:55.800 Use the promo code Beck

01:29:56.920 Get a free month of service

01:29:58.080 Okay

01:29:59.380 I was going to say it again

01:30:02.260 Yeah, they just said it again

01:30:03.920 Because Glenn Beck is on

01:30:05.060 Which is a weird coincidence

01:30:06.280 Because I'm Glenn Beck

01:30:07.480 And I'm on

01:30:08.200 Alright, so

01:30:09.480 An LGBTQ activist

01:30:12.400 Is not blaming the Muslim man

01:30:16.980 With known Islamist associations

01:30:20.680 who drove his car into Berlin's Pride Festival on Saturday

01:30:26.200 and then started attacking bystanders with a machete

01:30:30.700 because that's just racist to do that.

01:30:36.760 I'm quoting her.

01:30:38.740 I'm getting really, really sick and tired of this.

01:30:40.980 I'm getting really tired of having to repeat to myself over and over again.

01:30:45.560 Yes, the suspect is an Islamic extremist.

01:30:48.460 So that's their suspect right now.

01:30:50.680 That's what I read.

01:30:52.420 I'm not going to say anything about the rest of the Muslim population because of the actions of this one person.

01:30:56.980 But what I can say is the people who were celebrating about all of this, they were white young men with crosses on their profiles.

01:31:07.100 And we've all seen it.

01:31:08.600 Wait, wait, wait, what?

01:31:11.340 Were they the ones that drove the car into you?

01:31:14.480 and if they if they celebrated then they're just as bad as the guy who drove the car but

01:31:20.960 uh you why are you willing to lump all white men into one category but you will only look at the

01:31:29.020 action of one islamist and say that doesn't speak for all islamists it pretty much does

01:31:35.600 pretty much does uh it doesn't mean all muslims it does mean every islamist okay then you have

01:31:43.600 here in america congresswoman running for washington's ninth ninth district and she was

01:31:49.560 asked a really simple question by a stranger here's a question so you say you support lgbtq rights

01:31:56.820 so why isn't that anywhere on your campaign website so melissa chadry she at least answered

01:32:04.220 honestly because a lot of muslims don't feel that way unfortunately now what follows tells you more

01:32:12.720 than the answer did the Washington Stonewall Democrats didn't accuse her of lying they accused

01:32:20.040 her of causing chaos between two oppressed demographics the offense wasn't the concealment

01:32:27.940 the offense was the disclosure because Muslims are oppressed and LGBTQ so when asked why aren't

01:32:39.340 you saying this to Muslims well because Muslims don't feel this way okay but you're making an

01:32:46.820 alliance between the two and apparently they hate us how dare you bring this up okay her campaign

01:32:54.360 then quietly added LGBTQ language to the website and she posted a video suggesting the criticism

01:32:59.620 was really bigotry against her job is that really in the same on the record interview she asked the

01:33:08.200 reporter not to print that she planned to switch to the green party after she won okay so wait

01:33:15.260 so she's having a conversation about what she hid last time and she's telling the reporter this time

01:33:20.920 by the way i'm gonna switch to the green party as soon as i win but don't print that this woman 1.00

01:33:25.140 is full of lies okay you sit on the throne of lies a muslim voter who believes marriage is 1.00

01:33:32.980 between one man and one woman

01:33:34.680 is not a threat to anyone.

01:33:37.680 That's a religious conviction

01:33:38.860 shared by tens of millions of Christians

01:33:40.460 and Jews in this country.

01:33:42.140 Holding it doesn't make a person dangerous.

01:33:44.180 The problem is not the voter.

01:33:45.900 The problem is the candidate

01:33:47.080 who carries one set of beliefs into the mosque

01:33:49.900 and a different set into the fundraiser

01:33:52.780 and then calls you the hater

01:33:54.540 if you point at the seam and go,

01:33:56.320 wait, what are you stitching together here?

01:33:59.600 I mean, the receipt is signed

01:34:01.420 by the man who wrote the strategy.

01:34:03.560 Back in 2008, Saddleback Church, Rick Warren,

01:34:06.940 asked Barack Obama about marriage.

01:34:09.520 Obama said, I believe marriage is the union

01:34:12.440 between a man and a woman, and it's sacred,

01:34:14.280 and God's in the mix.

01:34:16.680 Okay, after four years of public evolving,

01:34:19.920 which is not true, we know now, he didn't evolve.

01:34:23.700 2015, David Axelrod publishes a memoir and gives it away.

01:34:27.700 Obama supported same-sex marriage the entire time.

01:34:32.780 Axelrod is the one who told him to hide it

01:34:34.900 because opposition ran so strong in the black church

01:34:38.020 and the votes were needed.

01:34:39.780 So the evolving was just choreography.

01:34:43.700 That's not the opponent's charge.

01:34:46.120 That's the chief strategist in his own book

01:34:48.800 describing the operation with something close to pride.

01:34:55.700 Notice what it cost the people

01:34:57.480 who were told to be patient on the very night that obama carried california in 2008 california

01:35:03.820 passed proposition 8 the community that had been asked to wait waited and lost here's why 2026 is

01:35:12.700 not 2008 in july atlantis events they charted a virginia scarlet lady for athens to venice run

01:35:21.120 Roughly 2,000 passengers, 1,100 of them were Americans.

01:35:26.140 Turkey blocked the ship from Istanbul and some other port because their conduct, this is the people on the ship, gays, their conduct was incompatible with their society and their moral values.

01:35:42.420 And there was no possibility of the visit.

01:35:45.440 So the ship had to be rerouted to Alexandria.

01:35:48.700 Egypt then said, you're not dumping these gay people off at our gates.

01:35:52.240 No, it's incompatible with what we believe.

01:35:55.880 The passengers found notes under their cabin doors at sea while the crew hunted for a country that would take them.

01:36:03.900 By the way, Turkey is a NATO ally.

01:36:06.200 Egypt takes American aid.

01:36:08.340 These are the moderate countries, okay?

01:36:12.120 In roughly a dozen jurisdictions from Iran to Afghanistan to northern Nigeria,

01:36:16.640 the penalty on the books for homosexuality or anything LGBTQ is death.

01:36:24.280 Okay, all right.

01:36:27.720 We should probably talk about that, right?

01:36:30.940 2,000 Americans learned in one week that their passport doesn't travel as far as they thought.

01:36:36.320 But this is the country that hates them.

01:36:39.280 So when a party is assembling a coalition by telling one wing something it does not tell the other,

01:36:44.660 that's not clever.

01:36:46.640 That has a history, and the history is very specific.

01:36:50.020 Prussia, 1931, last real bulwark of German democracy, governed by social democrats.

01:36:59.060 The Stolheim, a nationals veterans organization, launched a petition to dissolve the Prussian parliament early.

01:37:05.600 The Nazis backed it, and the German Communist Party had spent weeks denouncing the whole thing as a fascist maneuver.

01:37:12.720 It reversed itself on instructions from Moscow and decided to campaign for it, rebranding it the Rotor-Wolkenstein-Garnisch-Nakem-Alleva, the Red Referendum.

01:37:26.500 It wasn't.

01:37:28.840 Communist organizers and Nazi organizers worked the same streets for the same result.

01:37:34.800 It failed on a technicality of turnout.

01:37:37.420 93% of those who voted said yes, but only 39% showed up, and the threshold was 50, so it didn't pass.

01:37:44.920 But the party told its members that the alliance was tactical, temporary, something that they would control.

01:37:51.820 19 months later, March 22, 1933, the first prisoner transports arrived in Dachau.

01:37:59.020 You know who the first inmates were?

01:38:02.680 Communists and Social Democrats.

01:38:05.540 Ernest Thalmann, the man who led that party and ran for president of Germany, was arrested after the Reichstag fire, held for 11 years, and then shot by the SS in Buchenwald.

01:38:17.380 Now, I'm not comparing anything that's going on today with the Nazis, okay?

01:38:22.280 That's not what this monologue is about.

01:38:24.760 The lesson is not about the partner.

01:38:28.540 The lesson is about the leadership.

01:38:30.760 Rank-and-file communists didn't choose that alliance.

01:38:34.020 Their leaders chose it for them, sold it as strategy, and they were confident they could manage the people they had climbed into bed with.

01:38:41.960 But they couldn't.

01:38:43.240 The junior partner in a coalition built on concealment never gets to renegotiate later.

01:38:49.040 When the two wings finally collide, the party sides with the larger number of votes or the ones that are more committed to your death.

01:38:57.180 Every time.

01:38:58.540 That's arithmetic.

01:38:59.700 It's not malice.

01:39:01.300 Arithmetic.

01:39:01.820 And arithmetic has no loyalty to you.

01:39:06.460 Which brings us to the word bigot, homophobe, and Islamophobe.

01:39:10.960 Those words are supposed to work like a smoke alarm.

01:39:14.020 And only a smoke alarm, it's only useful if it stays quiet when nothing is burning.

01:39:18.780 If it's constantly going off and you're like, oh, that damn smoke alarm.

01:39:21.820 When it goes off for real, nobody pays attention to it because it's a damn smoke alarm going off again.

01:39:27.700 You aim it at a man noticing that a candidate keeps two sets of books and you haven't protected anybody.

01:39:34.220 You've taught an American, an entire country here in America to take the batteries out.

01:39:40.800 So ask the question, not on a website, not in a mailer, not in a room selected for the answer.

01:39:47.140 Ask every candidate the same question in the same room with everybody in it and put the answer where all of the votes can read it.

01:39:54.780 If the conviction survives that, then it's a conviction.

01:39:57.900 But if it only works in the room where it's popular, it was never a belief.

01:40:01.920 It was a coupon.

01:40:03.440 And coupons expire on a date the issuer picks.

01:40:09.080 You have to understand what your vote is actually buying.

01:40:12.760 When you elect somebody who will not tell you plainly what they believe,

01:40:17.560 you're not electing his platform.

01:40:19.540 You're electing his judgment about when lying is worth it.

01:40:24.340 and you do that, you're going to be on the wrong side of that judgment eventually.

01:40:29.340 Everybody is. Throughout history, everybody is.

01:40:33.600 I beg my friends who have a different lifestyle than I do,

01:40:40.000 but still have a brain intact in their head,

01:40:43.140 I beg you, wake up.

01:40:46.400 You're going to be eaten.

01:40:50.180 And it's not going to be a pleasant moment.

01:40:52.320 and it'll be up to people like me to hide you because that's the way it always happens

01:40:58.720 these are not our better angels these are people look at what mandami is doing

01:41:03.940 he is releasing a dox he's doxing all of the rich people and that's people in his own party

01:41:11.240 he's giving out their home address this is from the same group of people that celebrate the fact

01:41:18.820 that they just killed a rich CEO in New York.

01:41:22.280 That's not an innocent little thing.

01:41:26.140 That's a hit list.

01:41:29.000 Don't believe me?

01:41:30.200 Just wait.

01:41:31.100 Just wait.

01:41:32.200 Just wait.

01:41:33.740 You wait.

01:41:35.140 You'll see.

01:41:36.280 Don't wait too long,

01:41:37.780 or you'll be on that hit list,

01:41:40.000 because it happens the same way every single time.

01:41:46.260 At some point, you have to wake up.

01:41:48.820 All right. Let me tell you about the burner launcher. I believe the right to protect myself, my family, and my home, it is my natural God-given right, and it's enshrined in the Constitution. It is also my responsibility to my family. I've spent years thinking about what it might mean, the worst possible moment, when you have seconds to make a decision, and that decision can change your life forever.

01:42:08.740 You walk into my house, you threaten my children, I'm going to kill you dead.

01:42:13.080 I will shoot you in the center of your head, and if I don't do it,

01:42:15.720 my wife is even a better shot, and I'm a damn good shot.

01:42:18.500 You're dead.

01:42:20.300 However, we're out someplace, my wife is at the gas station,

01:42:25.720 and it's at night, and somebody's approaching, and she doesn't feel comfortable.

01:42:28.700 Last thing I want her to do is pull out a gun.

01:42:30.320 Last thing I want to do is pull out a gun.

01:42:32.500 You don't know, but if you feel threatened, pull out your burner launcher.

01:42:36.540 Launch some tear gas.

01:42:37.580 It gives you time to get away, gives you time to have police arrive because they're down on the ground for 40 minutes.

01:42:44.940 It doesn't require a permit anywhere.

01:42:46.820 It gives you the confidence to know if there's ever trouble finding you, you're ready without having to carry the weight of something you might regret.

01:42:53.140 It's the peace of mind that comes with knowing you're prepared.

01:42:56.480 And there's even greater peace in knowing that preparation doesn't have to cost somebody everything.

01:43:00.820 Burn a launcher.

01:43:01.480 It's not just about defense.

01:43:13.060 10 seconds, Station ID.

01:43:26.420 Okay. At glenbeck.com, I told you yesterday that I was going to post some questions I gave you

01:43:34.560 yesterday on the program about socialism you know you want to be able to talk to your kids about

01:43:39.040 socialism it is so vital that we do that right now um and but you don't want to get into an argument

01:43:45.620 you don't want to be in a position where you're trying to convince so you have to use the socratic

01:43:49.420 method soccer just remember socrates eventually was killed for asking questions so it does you

01:43:55.300 know you're going to make them mad but that's not the point and you should point out hey i want to

01:43:59.760 just have a conversation with i'm just going to ask you some questions and they're all fair questions

01:44:03.100 and you can ask me anything in return.

01:44:05.820 But I want you to ask a few questions

01:44:07.700 and then you can ask me your questions.

01:44:10.840 And I want this to be an honest exchange.

01:44:13.640 I'm trying to learn what you think.

01:44:15.820 And if they get mad, you should say in advance.

01:44:18.120 And if these really make you mad,

01:44:19.560 there's no reason for this

01:44:20.960 because I'm not trying to change your mind or anything else.

01:44:23.400 I want to understand how you think.

01:44:25.640 And if you get mad, that tells us both something.

01:44:30.900 okay because why why are you getting mad so i put together about i don't know eight or nine

01:44:38.940 questions uh about socialism and i want you to ask your kids would you rather be poor today or

01:44:44.100 rich in 1900 one of you by the way has antibiotics and the other doesn't um if you and i walk away

01:44:51.260 after we make a trade we both walk away happy who got hurt somebody has to decide what your worth

01:44:58.700 your work is worth? Do you want that to be you and the person paying you or a third man who's

01:45:04.280 never met either of you? Ask them about socialism. What does it mean? Does that mean the government

01:45:11.920 pays for everything or the government owns things? Because those are different. Find out what

01:45:17.860 they're thinking. And what I want to do is I want you to ask, and then probably on Thursday's show,

01:45:24.160 write this down, Ricky, Thursday's show, I want to have people call in that have done this with

01:45:27.980 their kids and tell me what you learned what did you learn about your kids i yeah i am using you

01:45:33.380 as a guinea pig yes i admit that um but i want to see what your kids uh what you learn about your

01:45:41.040 kids so that'll be on thursday all of it is posted at glennbeck.com uh also the eighth

01:45:47.640 amendment which jason the eighth amendment is uh but no uh cruel and unusual yes good no cruel

01:45:55.440 unusual punishment see it works this this is working uh no cruel and unusual punishment is

01:46:01.100 the eighth try coming up with a snappy number about that uh well i did it we produced it and

01:46:08.180 in fact they just finished it last night late uh and it's really good and you can get the song

01:46:13.580 and the study guide for your kids and it uses the socratic method it's just trying to ask questions

01:46:18.900 to get you to think deeply get your kids to think deeply about the bill of rights

01:46:23.920 we can't defend something we don't know what it is so i know i didn't you know the eighth

01:46:29.900 amendment you could have asked me that six months ago before i started this i'm like eighth amendment

01:46:33.560 i i think i know but is it you know that i get a jury trial no that's the seventh

01:46:41.240 it's the one where the people retrain they retain the rights no

01:46:45.980 cruel unusual punishment i don't even know if i would have come up with that

01:46:50.840 eight months ago because you just never think of it.

01:46:54.860 But that's a really important one, really important.

01:46:57.780 It might become even more important later in our country's history.

01:47:01.680 Know it.

01:47:02.380 You can get the song.

01:47:34.100 Have you ever noticed the more successful a business becomes, the more there's to lose?

01:47:39.740 You know, when you're just starting out, you're mostly worried about getting customers.

01:47:42.660 A few years later, you're thinking about the employees, the equipment, the inventory, contracts, vehicles,

01:47:46.880 all the things that keep your business running.

01:47:49.100 and success adds responsibility, and that's why it's so important to make sure your insurance

01:49:14.200 So I read a story a couple of days ago about a reporter that was at a board game this last spring, and she mentioned to her friends that she'd be moving into a new apartment in the fall.

01:49:28.560 This is such a fascinating story.

01:49:33.000 Now, I want you to imagine for yourself, you are playing a board game with friends.

01:49:39.080 God help you if it's Monopoly, because it'll never end.

01:49:41.240 and somebody like she was is wearing a bracelet but it's a bracelet that listens okay so she was

01:49:52.060 playing this board game and she said i am moving into a new apartment blah blah blah the next time

01:49:56.240 she opens her app it reminds her to book movers for october okay useful then it told her something

01:50:04.560 else it had concluded that the move was triggering anxiety about her stability and her sense of home

01:50:12.960 and it's it suggested that she photograph one beloved corner corner of her current place to

01:50:19.160 take with her and to watch her anxiety levels well she wasn't anxious about the move she hadn't said

01:50:25.120 that to her friends she hadn't said that to her husband because it wasn't true the device didn't

01:50:31.000 record a fact it manufactured one and then kept it as record now that reporter was from cnn who

01:50:40.340 spent several months it living inside the future of the industry that is building all of these

01:50:46.520 devices for us three devices metas ray-ban glasses with the camera and the microphones built in

01:50:52.140 amazon's b pioneer wristband and plod's note pin s it's a recorder that you you know you just clip

01:50:59.620 to your shirt. You can keep it for your office, work trips, vacation, dinner with friends, and it

01:51:04.200 records everything that you say and then transcribes it and keeps it for record. So you're in Lisbon.

01:51:11.580 She was standing in front of the monastery. She didn't reach for her phone. She just looked up at

01:51:19.400 the monastery and she took a picture. She read the building and it answered. That's wonderful,

01:51:27.860 I guess you know every real bargain starts with something genuinely wonderful and it's great you

01:51:32.160 can look at something and you can blink your eyes and it will take a picture or however it works

01:51:36.560 okay but the question is what are you trading for that here's what you're trading you're trading

01:51:43.480 consent and not just yours a woman who runs the internet ethics program at Santa Clara University

01:51:50.320 she said in this article that I was reading that these devices are harder to spot than a phone so

01:51:56.020 the whole notion of consent is disintegrating okay your phone announces it announces itself

01:52:02.780 you hold it up and everybody in the room knows oh that person is taking a picture i can't tell

01:52:07.540 you how many people will say i'm like my family will be out dinner or something like dad turn the

01:52:12.700 other way for a second why somebody's holding up their phone and you just know you know somebody's

01:52:18.300 taking a picture when that happens glasses and a shirt clip announce nothing nothing

01:52:24.180 meta says meta says that it it it uh it has a capture light and it blinks and it has no off

01:52:31.740 switch fine but a light on your wrist or your collar does no good because nobody's looking at

01:52:38.160 your wrist or your collar when they're talking to you they're looking at your face which in the

01:52:43.200 case of the glasses is where the camera is now let me give you a quick history because this is

01:52:49.480 inevitable that it's going to happen but you can slow it down because this has happened kind of

01:52:53.820 before 1888 when your picture was taken in 1888 what did you have to do hold still don't move 30

01:53:05.160 seconds okay sometimes it was a minute which meant to get a picture of you it required your

01:53:13.460 cooperation which means nobody had to ever write this down it took your permission because they

01:53:20.340 couldn't take a quick snap if you walk in by or something then george eastman invents this little

01:53:26.780 box okay it's a little box camera you press the button eastman kodak said we'll do the rest

01:53:33.160 when that happened it was not publicly accepted i didn't know this i thought everybody would go

01:53:38.420 oh the camera it's great not accepted one of the reasons is two years before you you could buy the

01:53:45.040 kodak camera you could buy one that was built to wear under your vest this is crazy the lens came

01:53:54.780 out through a buttonhole and they shaped the lens to look like a button 15 000 of course it was the

01:54:00.760 germans who came up with this 15 000 of these sold not to a government but to anybody with the money

01:54:06.820 And they had a name for the category, and it was more honest than anything printed on any box today.

01:54:12.740 They were detective cameras, the world's first hidden cameras, before the box camera from Kodak.

01:54:19.500 That's where we went with these?

01:54:21.820 Yeah.

01:54:23.080 The camera that invented privacy because the country came apart was the box camera.

01:54:30.660 Okay?

01:54:31.100 When the Kodak came out, it didn't stop.

01:54:34.380 they banned it on the box camera it was banned at all beaches they banned it at the washington

01:54:41.000 monument uh the papers had a name for people carrying cameras they were called kodak fiends

01:54:47.820 imagine that in britain young men formed an association for the sole purpose of thrashing

01:54:54.200 the cads with cameras that's a quote they hung around the photography stores um or they went

01:55:01.160 to the beaches where there were people that were at the shore photographing women coming out of the

01:55:06.300 water two years two years this went on that's all it took in 1890 two boston lawyers one of them was

01:55:14.720 louis brandeis who would end up on the supreme court of the united states published an article

01:55:19.460 called the right to privacy if you've ever heard anybody say i've got a right to privacy no you

01:55:26.260 don't no you don't there is no right of privacy there's nowhere in the constitution do you have

01:55:29.960 a right for privacy it came from this article because of cameras okay go look go look it up i

01:55:36.900 mean it's crazy the word privacy is not in the constitution they had to build it and they built

01:55:42.420 it because of the camera so they borrowed it the the best phrase uh in it from an old judge

01:55:49.360 136 years later nobody's improved on it it's the right to be left alone

01:55:55.260 but this isn't you coming out of the camera in your bathing suit

01:56:00.480 This is much worse.

01:56:03.040 This is tech.

01:56:04.140 You are trading the right to be misunderstood in private now.

01:56:08.640 That bracelet decided a woman was anxious, but she wasn't.

01:56:13.120 And now that conclusion exists in a file somewhere in a company system,

01:56:17.920 and it will inform the next inference and the one after that,

01:56:22.960 and it will store it.

01:56:24.380 So now she's anxiety-ridden.

01:56:26.920 she's done all these things

01:56:29.380 and she didn't even recognize her anxiety

01:56:31.260 wait a minute I didn't say that I didn't feel that

01:56:33.500 but it's part of your record

01:56:34.740 you're now trading your off the record

01:56:37.720 self every marriage

01:56:39.400 every friendship every business that works

01:56:41.680 works partly on things

01:56:43.480 said badly said in anger

01:56:45.360 said it half formed

01:56:47.140 and then withdrawn

01:56:48.020 you take that away and people don't become

01:56:51.520 more honest what do they become

01:56:53.040 they're not more honest you stop doing that

01:56:55.080 you take away that right to be wrong

01:56:56.820 what happens? They become more careful. In a room where everything is recorded and then held by a

01:57:05.220 private company, that's a room where nobody's saying anything out loud. Nobody's thinking out

01:57:11.240 loud. Nobody's risking anything. You're trading a defense. A recording is evidence, and the evidence

01:57:18.880 can get subpoenaed, and it may be false evidence. I didn't say that. I never felt anxious.

01:57:27.460 Every conversation you will ever have will be indexed and searchable.

01:57:32.960 Every conversation.

01:57:34.220 And it will be sitting on a server owned by a company with lawyers who work for the company.

01:57:40.040 You're trading your kids and your neighbors who signed nothing.

01:57:46.840 We're there now.

01:57:48.320 Did you see what Sam Altman said yesterday?

01:57:51.500 today, he believes we are now, now at the singularity. That's when everything changes.

01:57:59.220 That's when everything, you're pulled into this vortex you cannot reverse, and it's going to

01:58:05.380 compound faster and faster and faster and faster. And Sam Altman just said, we're there.

01:58:12.100 Elon Musk said we were there about six months ago. If we're there today or tomorrow or in six

01:58:16.680 months or last six months, it's here, gang. And it's going to get harder from here. Zuckerberg

01:58:23.420 told investors that a person without AI glasses may be at a significant cognitive disadvantage

01:58:30.000 against the people they work with and compete against. Why? Why? You're at a disadvantage.

01:58:39.720 This is what Ray Kurzweil said about taking a chip. I said, I don't want a chip, Ray. He said,

01:58:44.560 Glenn, everybody will have a chip. I don't want the chip. But Glenn, you can take the chip and

01:58:48.620 you'll be able to speak any language. You'll be able to access who you're talking to, who's on

01:58:52.240 the street. You'll know because you will be one with the internet. And I said, I want to be just

01:58:56.820 me. I don't want that. For me to be one with the internet, it also requires that I not only can

01:59:02.700 get uploads, but it will take downloads as well. No, he said, Glenn, everyone will want it. You

01:59:07.700 will be excuse the language it'll be as if you're retarded you won't be able to function because

01:59:15.720 everyone will have it this is the product pitch from zuckerberg that's the threat delivered as

01:59:23.020 a forecast wear it or fall behind right now declining is a preference a little awkward

01:59:32.860 easily accommodated, but a preference. Two years from now, when your team's meeting has notes,

01:59:40.580 action items, performance reviews, and they're all running off transcripts,

01:59:44.660 declining won't be a preference anymore. It's a problem. It's you being difficult.

01:59:50.820 Nobody will forbid you. They'll just build the office around the assumption and

01:59:54.820 let the cost fall on the holdout. You. Also, OpenAI's president, Sam Altman, said,

02:00:02.740 also this week, the keyboard and the mouse are out. Clicking and typing was a phase. It was never

02:00:10.500 what we wanted it to be. Read that as an engineer would. Clicking and typing is where you interface,

02:00:18.700 where you decide what the machine gets. Clicking and typing. If that's gone, if you type it,

02:00:28.060 then it's there if you don't type it the machine doesn't have it but that's not where we're going

02:00:36.880 is it what replaces it is a machine that takes everything and sorts it out afterwards that's

02:00:43.340 not an upgrade in convenience that is a removal of the gate that's not good not good you know in

02:00:53.080 1890, that law that showed up late and won only partly the tort that Warren and Brandeis

02:01:00.060 proposed took decades to spread state by state. And by the time it arrived, the camera had already

02:01:04.940 changed us. They said we had a right to privacy. We don't have a right to privacy. The camera had

02:01:09.740 already changed us. Etiquette bent around the device, as it always does. But something else

02:01:14.440 happened first, and then it happened faster than any court. Beach owners posted signs. Resorts said

02:01:21.260 no newspapers named the behavior and shamed it ordinary people decided out loud in public you

02:01:28.100 know there are places you don't bring a camera into and they decided it years before a judge

02:01:32.740 agreed with them that's the piece we keep forgetting that is available to us you don't

02:01:37.660 have to wait for congress you are allowed to say at your own table not in my house you're allowed

02:01:44.860 to say to a man, take the glasses

02:01:46.800 off. Put the phone down.

02:01:48.900 Stop recording. You're allowed

02:01:50.680 to say. You're allowed to be the person who says

02:01:52.760 take that away.

02:01:55.500 You're going to say that and it's going to

02:01:56.780 be awkward.

02:01:58.380 But the awkwardness is the whole mechanism.

02:02:01.260 That's the only thing that

02:02:02.780 has ever set a norm before the law

02:02:04.640 caught up. The device is not the

02:02:06.700 danger. The device is a button.

02:02:09.080 The danger is a country full

02:02:10.700 of people who will trade the right to be let

02:02:12.660 alone for the ability to

02:02:14.660 look at a monastery without reaching into their pocket. That's the trade. Make sure you know

02:02:20.360 you're making a trade. More in a minute. All right, let me tell you about the International

02:02:29.320 Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Every time the Jewish people go through a crisis, a war,

02:02:33.540 a terror attack, a wave of global condemnation, you can feel the world shift just a little further

02:02:38.220 away from them. And the people who suffer most are not the politicians. They're not the generals.

02:02:42.480 It's the ordinary men and women who are trying to survive another hard season.

02:02:46.800 It's your neighbors.

02:02:48.400 All of a sudden, you hate Benjamin Netanyahu, and so you hate all Jews?

02:02:54.380 What?

02:02:56.600 This is how it happens.

02:02:58.360 And this is how you have Holocaust survivors that are living this nightmare again.

02:03:05.220 They're seeing it happen again.

02:03:08.440 And this is where the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews does the most beautiful work.

02:03:12.640 They step in when the world steps back.

02:03:14.900 When the world steps back, they come in and they say,

02:03:18.580 we're the group of Christians that are going to say never again and mean it.

02:03:24.980 And mean it.

02:03:26.200 Real, tangible help directly to the people who need it most.

02:03:30.780 Your gift doesn't just provide survival.

02:03:32.720 It provides dignity.

02:03:34.180 And it tells somebody who feels forgotten that they are seen.

02:03:37.620 Join the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews

02:03:40.200 in praying for peace of Jerusalem and the rest of the world,

02:03:43.180 the soldiers, the families, the civilians, on all sides.

02:03:46.360 Visit PrayIFCJ.org.

02:03:49.000 That's PrayIFCJ.org.

02:03:53.420 We don't need to agree on everything.

02:03:55.900 Just enough to stand shoulder to shoulder.

02:03:59.300 Glenn Beck is back in a minute.

02:04:07.620 Hey y'all, it's Kelly Clarkson with Wayfair.

02:04:41.100 You know, we're just talking about technology and we're getting to this place where, you know, this technology is everywhere.

02:04:51.880 And I don't trust the companies that have the data.

02:04:56.140 I also don't trust the government to have the data.

02:05:00.180 I don't, I mean, I don't trust anybody and it's all on their servers and it's all going to be used and kept.

02:05:05.260 If you could take the data and wash it clean and you had a guarantee, but I don't even trust that.

02:05:10.060 You had a guarantee that thing would never, for instance, the, the aura rings that everybody's

02:05:14.500 wearing, those are great. Those are great to tell you all kinds of stuff, but how long before that

02:05:20.980 is, if you have an aura ring, you'll get a better price on your insurance company with your insurance

02:05:27.420 company, cause it'll spot things. And then it'll show that you're exercising. So then you go to

02:05:33.180 the doctor and the doctor says you need to really exercise. How long before that is put on your

02:05:38.600 medical record, the insurance company knows that you've been told to exercise and your aura ring

02:05:43.280 is reporting that you're not exercising. And so your insurance rate goes up. I mean, this changes

02:05:47.920 everything. Yeah. And it goes, it goes even further. Like right now, my wife just tried to

02:05:52.720 sign us up for, cause she wanted to get, uh, you know, second day air on prescriptions and stuff. 0.99

02:05:57.700 And she goes, oh, they do this through Amazon.

02:05:59.660 And you had to link your medical insurance and get your prescriptions to them.

02:06:04.880 I was like, wait a minute.

02:06:05.880 How long in the not-too-distant future does Amazon compare this and say, wait a minute,

02:06:09.800 this is the family that orders Oreos like they're going out of style?

02:06:13.580 It's going to happen.

02:06:14.500 It's going to happen?

02:06:15.260 If you go into this collective, especially, if it remains that the individual is supreme,

02:06:23.120 then it's less likely to happen.

02:06:25.540 But if you're doing everything based on the collective, absolutely all of that information, and it'll be used against you in so many ways.
