00:00:00.000 Music
00:00:19.000 Spark the flame
00:00:21.000 Pass it on
00:00:23.000 Crank the game
00:00:26.000 the fusion of entertainment enlightenment and empowerment this is the glenn beck program
00:00:51.420 Yeah, we are fired up and ready for a big week.
00:00:59.860 A big week ahead.
00:01:01.060 It is just abruptly in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:04.460 I'm broadcasting from Michigan, where it is beautiful and sunny and the forecast is great,
00:01:10.280 unless you're a Democrat running for Senate.
00:01:12.080 We'll talk about that story.
00:01:13.620 It's a big one that's taking the lead over the entire country, in fact, 0.98
00:01:17.600 as we see the rise of socialism and extreme Islamic candidates. 1.00
00:01:23.920 We've got a homegrown one right here. 1.00
00:01:25.560 We'll explain coming up.
00:01:27.720 Get into that.
00:01:28.840 Some other big stories.
00:01:30.220 We've got Florida Election Day, what, the primary tomorrow?
00:01:32.820 So we'll have conversations about that.
00:01:34.840 And speaking of those elections,
00:01:36.540 we've learned some interesting things over the last week or so,
00:01:39.000 particularly how easy it is to vouch for people in some places,
00:01:43.300 all that, plus day 60 past the MOU.
00:01:46.680 You and Iran will touch base on all of it and more coming up this morning
00:01:50.740 as we dig on the Glenn Beck program back right after this.
00:01:58.200 I think about Providence often these days,
00:02:00.760 the idea that we're stewards of our families, our communities, our own safety.
00:02:05.200 The founders understood this.
00:02:06.660 It's woven into the fabric of who we are as Americans.
00:02:09.720 And I want to share something with you. 0.51
00:02:11.060 It's called Burna, B-Y-R-N-A, and it's changed how I think about personal protection.
00:02:16.020 Here's the thing.
00:02:16.680 Most people assume self-defense is complicated.
00:02:18.920 You need training, licensing, you know, government approval.
00:02:21.640 But Berna is legal in all 50 states.
00:02:24.080 No permit, no background check.
00:02:25.760 Because your right to protect your family shouldn't require anyone's permission.
00:02:29.820 The range on this is 60 feet.
00:02:31.360 That's not pepper spray distance.
00:02:32.820 That's real distance that gives you time to think, to move, to get your family safe.
00:02:37.440 It's simple enough that anyone can use it, anyone.
00:02:39.840 And it's built in Fort Wayne, Indiana, right here in America, in American hands, American craftsmanship.
00:02:45.200 and that matters to me, and I think it matters to you.
00:02:48.000 I'm not here to scare you.
00:02:49.060 I'm here to tell you being prepared isn't paranoia.
00:02:51.420 It's love.
00:02:52.220 It's what we do for the people that you'd do anything for.
00:02:54.640 So go to Byrna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.
00:03:05.620 All right, we are day 60 now in the M-O-U.
00:03:11.440 Day 60
00:03:13.820 as we
00:03:14.840 were supposed to see what
00:03:16.900 originally the ceasefire
00:03:19.440 and we were supposed to see
00:03:21.240 we were hoping
00:03:23.660 at least some of the
00:03:25.700 some of the things that we've been dealing with
00:03:27.760 particularly in Iran would be
00:03:29.100 coming to a close. What about
00:03:31.680 gas? Were we hoping to see
00:03:33.820 gas a little lower?
00:03:36.000 I know the President mentioned this
00:03:37.680 over the weekend and in fact that's a big
00:03:39.980 piece of the midterms he's going to be talking about that i'm sure in the days ahead as well
00:03:44.600 we heard a little bit uh about this uh was it yesterday getting on a flight uh a little bit
00:03:51.740 more about it this morning from a phone call that's taken place but there's as as we have
00:03:58.080 all of this coming at us and uh it is kind of like drinking from a fire hose you you've got
00:04:04.400 all of the information constantly coming towards you and the real uh well the real key here is
00:04:12.280 trying to decipher what what you should be paying attention to and what you shouldn't i have a
00:04:17.080 method i want to i want to share with you today uh now it's it's something that i use because
00:04:23.820 quite frankly doing what i do and what i've what i've done and what glenn does on a daily basis
00:04:30.980 You see everything.
00:04:33.960 Some things you don't want to see, but you see everything.
00:04:37.360 Not only are you looking because you want to be in the know,
00:04:39.620 but there's this other thing where people want to send you things.
00:04:45.760 A lot of things people send me I've already seen.
00:04:47.840 By the way, if you want to send me things today, I would love to see them.
00:04:53.700 Justin at JustinBarclay.com.
00:04:56.180 I'm at Mr. Justin Barclay on all the social media as well.
00:04:59.420 So feel free.
00:05:00.980 But what I'm about to explain to you is my method for how I deal with things and why I think it's so important.
00:05:09.700 Because we are in, we're in a moment of time.
00:05:14.540 We've never had the access to information that we have today.
00:05:20.520 We've never seen anything like it.
00:05:21.700 I mean, you've got everything in the palm of your hand and at your fingertips at any moment.
00:05:28.520 It doesn't mean it's all good, by the way.
00:05:30.980 And some of you might think, well, that's great, but it doesn't mean that all of that's good.
00:05:38.120 There's a lot that does to people.
00:05:40.980 I think a lot of this explains what we're watching right now, the broken brain syndrome.
00:05:47.860 People are victims of psyops, psyops on top of psyops.
00:05:52.020 We have people walking around with Trump derangement syndrome, your friends, your relatives, your neighbors.
00:05:59.700 You probably know who I'm talking about, these people.
00:06:03.560 It doesn't matter what happens.
00:06:05.060 They're just never.
00:06:06.240 It doesn't matter how good he does.
00:06:08.100 It doesn't matter what he does to turn the country around.
00:06:11.920 And you've often heard this said, and it's cliche, but it's true.
00:06:15.620 He could cure cancer.
00:06:18.540 And there would be some sort of criticism.
00:06:23.280 At first, they'd probably deny that he did it.
00:06:26.200 And then eventually they'd get to the point and they'd say,
00:06:28.140 well, okay, he did it, but it's not great, and here's why this is a problem.
00:06:34.460 You know, that's eventually what they would make it to.
00:06:39.440 So these people, and there might be some on the right as well in some cases.
00:06:43.700 In fact, I think we've seen that recently.
00:06:47.860 But these people are walking around with broken brains,
00:06:51.760 and I think a lot of it is because we've just got way too much information.
00:06:56.680 First of all, you and I were never meant,
00:07:00.520 we were never created to take in all of this information.
00:07:05.340 We just weren't.
00:07:07.800 Think about it.
00:07:09.120 Do you really, I mean, does it matter what's happening to you?
00:07:14.760 Does it matter what's happening on the other side of the world?
00:07:19.660 Largely, it really has never mattered.
00:07:21.560 I mean, I could make a case that it does because it has local impact.
00:07:25.500 But really, essentially what I'm trying to say is it matters more what happens in your backyard than what happens over in the Strait of Hormuz.
00:07:35.140 Now, what happens at the Strait of Hormuz can impact and affect your backyard and your gas tank and your wallet and everything else.
00:07:41.120 So, yes, all of these things do have some sense of mattering.
00:07:46.020 But it really, in essence, do they really add up?
00:07:51.420 we were never meant to take in all of this information and yet we are so when we take
00:07:57.500 in information on a daily basis when it comes from trump or cnn or ms dow or whatever they're
00:08:03.140 calling it dnc 13 whatever they're calling it now uh it it's you have to take it all with a grain
00:08:10.360 of salt so today as we hit the 60 day mark of the mou no matter it's whether it's trump or
00:08:19.860 whether it's coming out of Anderson Cooper's mouth.
00:08:21.620 Look, we've got to make sure that we take this stuff appropriately.
00:08:26.880 And as I deal with all the information, maybe it's just a coping mechanism,
00:08:31.200 but it's just a way that I've found to apply truth, logic, common sense,
00:08:35.180 and above all, wisdom to the things that I'm hearing.
00:08:40.660 I'm going to tell you how to dig into this and tell you how I do it
00:08:44.960 and what I would recommend you do as well,
00:08:47.380 Because it's not just what you hear on the radio now.
00:08:50.720 It's social media, yes.
00:08:54.260 There's plenty of social media that you're going to see.
00:08:59.400 And now, AI.
00:09:02.420 Half the stuff you see online isn't real.
00:09:05.200 Wait a minute.
00:09:06.420 What did I watch?
00:09:07.240 I have a good friend of mine.
00:09:08.040 I actually got a couple, but a really good friend of mine
00:09:09.840 that sends me things from time to time, and he says,
00:09:12.360 wait a minute, is this real?
00:09:13.860 and i have to say i don't think so i don't think this one is i don't know i have to kind of run it
00:09:22.080 through the filter and figure that out that's a whole nother process right is this real is what
00:09:26.800 i watched just just just happened is that real the thing that you see with your very own i thought
00:09:31.540 glenn has warned about this for years glenn has warned that there will be a time where you won't
00:09:37.600 really be able to know you won't be able to tell it i think we're past that some of it you can
00:09:43.520 Some of it's fun.
00:09:44.620 In fact, we use AI.
00:09:45.640 I use AI to make fun little graphics and images that I think you can obviously tell are AI,
00:09:50.760 but sort of tongue-in-cheek comedy.
00:09:54.700 You can even make videos to do the same thing.
00:09:57.780 In fact, Grok on X is really good at that.
00:10:02.820 But nevertheless, it brings me to that point that we're at a time where you just don't know.
00:10:08.400 So how much information is too much and how much how much is overwhelming to the point where people just start tuning everything out?
00:10:19.540 I think we're getting close to that if they haven't if they haven't already done it.
00:10:22.420 But first, you have this broken brain syndrome that takes place.
00:10:28.920 That's why these things are so important.
00:10:30.880 Come on. I'm going to equip you a little bit.
00:10:32.320 First today, 60 days. This is breaking news from Fox this morning.
00:10:35.620 trey yinks through the conversation the president chief foreign correspondent trey yinks joins us
00:10:40.780 live from tel aviv with the details trey yeah hey guys good morning today the memorandum of
00:10:46.680 understanding between the united states and iran expires it's been 60 days since it was signed and
00:10:53.020 reports indicate very little diplomatic progress to de-escalate tension in the region and reopen
00:10:59.120 the strait of hormuz international shipping data indicated only five cargo ships passed through the
00:11:04.740 strait on Saturday and none on Sunday.
00:11:07.400 This is due to Iran continuing attacks on vessels.
00:11:09.920 A bulk carrier reported being hit by an unknown projectile on Saturday.
00:11:14.020 A day prior, an Emirati oil vessel was also targeted.
00:11:17.420 President Trump said this about the critical waterway on Friday.
00:11:20.620 After we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated,
00:11:32.420 soon I'll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States. Essentially 0.98
00:11:39.700 that's what it is. We have the blockade. Now by the way that caused all kinds of controversy over
00:11:45.660 the weekend. So you have to also take into consideration some of the things that we say
00:11:51.160 or are said by people like the president. What does that mean? Well that drove people nuts all
00:11:57.640 weekend long what did what did that really mean is he being serious is he being sort of tongue
00:12:10.340 in cheek is he joking is there something else that's happening is there what it what's really
00:12:16.480 what's really going on then you hear uh you hear stuff like this actually came out on a phone call
00:12:25.900 with Trey this morning now I asked the president about these parallel talks that are taking place
00:12:29.820 between Iran and Oman about control of the Strait of Hormuz and the president told Fox News if Oman
00:12:36.300 gets in the way we'll bomb the yeah I'm just gonna cut it there I think we'll blind the expletive
00:12:45.860 out of them uh so you you have you you have that which is another threat this comes at the same 0.67
00:12:56.860 time by the way out of iran this morning and we're hearing they got a 30 000 bounty on u.s
00:13:02.240 soldiers a 30 000 bounty on u.s soldiers the question is okay is that real are they getting
00:13:10.060 desperate? What does that mean? And President Trump
00:13:14.060 continues to say, well, we can do this as long as we want to.
00:13:21.220 We can do
00:13:22.220 this as long as we want to.
00:13:27.460 And we will.
00:13:30.640 In fact, he said in that conversation with Trey
00:13:33.740 this morning that it has nothing to do.
00:13:36.020 it has nothing to do with the midterms
00:13:43.040 many have made the point look these oil prices the gas prices at the pump gotta get down if we
00:13:49.460 want to win the midterms that may or may not be true i understand the sentiment uh i would like
00:13:55.240 to see i think it makes it much easier uh case um but that may or might may not be true there
00:14:01.540 are people that are that are making the case that just because of the math and the numbers
00:14:05.340 the way things add up, that things may lean Republican anyway.
00:14:10.860 I tell you, if I was running for office, if I was running for office,
00:14:16.220 I'd much rather have gas down at two bucks a gallon.
00:14:23.140 I think that's clear.
00:14:28.640 But that's just a piece of the puzzle.
00:14:33.660 We're also hearing inside about a back channel with the Iran Revolutionary Guard, the RGC, out there that's been taking place.
00:14:43.040 We've got, see, even inside Iran, we've got this weird thing that's happening where you wonder who they're talking to.
00:14:50.020 Because Iran comes out and says one thing and then in public and then may say another thing in private.
00:14:54.440 And then there are other forces or factions or people left over in the IRGC or wherever they are that may, in fact, have a whole other idea of what they like to see done.
00:15:08.060 And all of it, all of it is, all of it, it really, it amounts to lots of chaos, lots of confusion.
00:15:17.240 And unfortunately, at the end of the day, it makes, because of the fog of war, makes things much more difficult, makes things much tougher, not only for the president, but for you and me, trying to figure out, trying to decide what in the heck, what is going on?
00:15:34.860 so i'd like to give you a little bit of my uh technique my strategy of dealing with all of this
00:15:42.440 um and give you sort of the the the way that i do it on a daily basis i don't know
00:15:48.420 uh exactly how how glenn handles it but i i i will give you the way i've been dealing with it
00:15:55.000 and the way that i i just because the sheer the nature of the sheer volume of everything that's
00:16:01.500 coming at you um the only way i know how to deal with these things but i believe something that
00:16:09.940 will set you up and the rest of us for success as we move forward trusted sources but also the the
00:16:17.940 number one trusted source we'll go to that coming up uh after this justin barkley in for glenn today

00:18:07.220 but here's what i do as i'm looking at the things that are coming through the feed
00:18:14.380 each and every day i want you to imagine like
00:18:18.800 do you remember this is kind of funny because that's what i'm thinking about now
00:18:23.920 do you remember that old i love lucy episode where she's working i think it's a chocolate
00:18:32.000 factory and she's working at the the conveyor belt and the the stuff's coming down the the
00:18:40.260 belt there and she's she's like trying to trying to wrangle it all and eventually start stuffing
00:18:46.420 in her mouth and all that that's how i that's how i feel like when we're dealing with the stuff
00:18:52.180 that's coming at us 24-7, whether
00:18:54.240 it be the updates from trusted
00:18:56.320 sources, stuff you just see
00:18:58.140 on social media, maybe
00:19:00.200 your friend, relative, neighbor, somebody
00:19:02.180 sent it to you, maybe even something you heard here.
00:19:05.700 How
00:19:06.180 do you deal with it all? How do
00:19:08.240 you handle it?
00:19:10.060 Well, this is
00:19:11.000 my, and I, you know,
00:19:14.000 take this with a grain of salt, this is just the way
00:19:16.280 I do it.
00:19:19.380 Everything that
00:19:20.160 comes down that conveyor belt,
00:19:22.180 pick it up. Sometimes it's coming at that speed where Lucy is
00:19:26.500 trying to figure out what to do with it.
00:19:30.960 But I'll just pick it up and I'll take a look at it
00:19:33.380 and I'll consider it and I pass it
00:19:38.600 through a filter. Truth, logic, and common sense.
00:19:43.520 Wisdom. Now I will
00:19:46.700 tell you, faith plays a big role in my life so
00:19:50.240 Well, you know, a lot of this to me is discernment.
00:19:54.240 And I don't know how that can be done without faith.
00:19:57.920 But I will say for those of you that maybe don't fit into that mold,
00:20:03.380 what I would say is that would be your experience.
00:20:06.660 That would be the wisdom that, you know, the guide,
00:20:08.540 the things that you've experienced through your life.
00:20:10.480 You know, the more years you get, the more you see.
00:20:12.520 and if you got any sort of uh you know grounded stance in life uh if you work with your hands
00:20:23.480 i think if your boots on the ground in some way you know you're touching dirt chances are you
00:20:30.080 probably have a much better understanding than uh folks uh maybe even in academia in a lot of
00:20:38.760 places well certainly i would say but i'll pick it up i'll take a look at it and then i'll run it
00:20:44.300 through questions what does this mean what does it mean for me does this affect me right now
00:20:50.000 how can i possibly know do i want to spend more time researching it digging into it
00:20:55.560 and because of all that a lot of people just look at things and if it if it if it sort of
00:21:02.260 supports what they already feel right this this cognitive dissonance if they had already kind of
00:21:07.160 fits in their bias and they go oh yeah that's got to be real but it isn't always and every now and
00:21:12.140 then i get burned we all do because we're human but you take it you look at it and you put it up
00:21:18.620 on the shelf and say i'll come back to that later i don't know is this true it could be
00:21:23.780 but i don't know let me take it put it up on the shelf and i'll come back to it
00:21:30.940 some things to consider
00:21:33.140 whether we
00:21:33.780 no matter what we explore today
00:21:37.040 and in fact on the way
00:21:38.100 we'll look at some things
00:21:39.820 that you can decide to put up on the shelf or not
00:21:41.760 throughout the program today

00:22:59.560 all right let's talk elections and their consequences
00:23:24.320 Justin Barclay in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program.
00:23:31.520 You know, that's one thing to win an election, you know, because the campaigning is all, you know, that's all one piece.
00:23:38.400 The other piece is you got to win the election once they count all the votes.
00:23:42.860 What was that old saying?
00:23:43.880 It's not, it's not, it's who counts the votes that counts.
00:23:48.000 I know I'm butchering that.
00:23:50.820 But essentially, that's what we're talking about.
00:23:53.320 And who gets to count who actually gets to vote?
00:23:56.580 That's a whole nother piece of it.
00:24:00.340 The reason we bring this up is that we have been seeing over and over again in recent years,
00:24:07.540 and particularly with the dump of all of the question and the intel that Trump administration put out here most recently, too,
00:24:15.680 with the foreign interference in our election.
00:24:23.140 The things that we've known for quite some time that they've been up to, we know what they've been up to.
00:24:28.060 We've seen some of the things that they've done.
00:24:32.440 We understand just how bad it is.
00:24:36.320 And it doesn't take a rocket science to figure that out.
00:24:40.040 Although some of the best people working on these things right now are.
00:24:46.140 The video that just came out in the last week or so, and there's a couple. 0.73
00:24:51.700 In fact, James O'Keefe is out, Cam Higby, which is another guy I follow on X here, in a burka.
00:25:04.520 And they go through, James, it's hilarious to see this, go through the poll workers in multiple places, in fact, in Minnesota. 0.96
00:25:16.100 and they go through the process of getting people registered to vote or just asking i don't think
00:25:24.660 they actually officially do it because that would be fraud etc but they go through the process
00:25:31.060 showing you how easy when they ask these questions of uh of what it takes to get that done and it is
00:25:38.300 absolutely revealing.
00:25:41.700 It's revealing
00:25:42.660 what's going on behind the scenes.
00:25:44.440 In fact,
00:25:46.360 this one, this is the
00:25:48.800 actually
00:25:50.520 this is a news report. Minnesota
00:25:52.480 poll workers willing
00:25:54.580 to allow James O'Keefe to vote
00:25:56.440 as William Pomerantz
00:25:58.620 with no ID and vouch
00:26:00.200 for me, that's Cam I guess, in a
00:26:02.620 burka.
00:26:04.580 And the news station there, KSTP
00:26:06.760 tracked down
00:26:07.660 the man they say they were going to vote as.
00:26:12.580 They're mad, they say, but the system is working.
00:26:15.720 Oh, is that, is that, is that to get, well, just listen to a little bit of this here.
00:26:19.640 This video posted to social media, a group of political commentators
00:26:22.920 say they were testing the limits of the state's vouching requirements
00:26:26.660 and what ID is needed.
00:26:28.660 They say they never voted.
00:26:31.000 Richard Reeve heard from a man who says his name was used in that video
00:26:35.000 without his permission.
00:26:36.380 Rich?
00:26:37.420 Yeah, Kirsten, that's right.
00:26:38.720 Will Pomerantz reached out to us, surprised and angry, he says, that his name popped up in that video.
00:26:44.120 He says he doesn't know how the conservative group that posted the video got his name, and we went looking for answers.
00:26:50.160 It feels like smoke and mirrors, and it makes me mad.
00:26:52.980 Will Pomerantz is one unhappy voter.
00:26:55.560 What was your reaction when you saw your name in that video?
00:26:58.940 I just, if I may here, I just want to point out that Channel 5 is more mad that O'Keefe
00:27:06.520 and Higby used the name of a man in their video than they are that you could actually
00:27:12.380 apparently in this system vouch for like up to eight people, I believe.
00:27:17.120 I'm going to check that, but I think it's up to eight people and you just bring them
00:27:21.860 in.
00:27:22.260 Oh yeah, these guys are good to go.
00:27:24.320 So it's reports like this and some of the other things that we're seeing that, again, keep adding to this list of issues.
00:27:33.240 Again, there should never even be an appearance of impropriety in any one of these cases, in any election system.
00:27:41.120 And yet, here we go again.
00:27:42.720 I think it's more proof that these aren't bugs in the system.
00:27:45.980 In fact, these are a function of it.
00:27:49.660 Patty McMurray joins us right now with the Gateway Pundit,
00:27:52.000 where she's been writing about this and issues throughout the country.
00:27:56.140 In fact, over and over again, exposing these cracks in the system.
00:28:01.600 But again, are they cracks or are they part of it?
00:28:03.880 Patty, welcome and appreciate you taking the time.
00:28:07.180 Thanks for having me, Justin.
00:28:10.060 This story is, again, just another, it's the latest,
00:28:13.900 but you've seen this and covered with the Gateway Pundit over and over again.
00:28:18.520 since 2020 and even before but what are we supposed to do with all this
00:28:24.660 well you know that's a good question i think you know obviously voter id is a big part of it um
00:28:33.740 you know if you're not asking for voter id for p in order for people to vote i mean it's it's
00:28:40.940 ridiculous to think that our elections are secure they can't be secure so that's that's the first
00:28:46.040 And then, you know, it's been my experience that mail-in voting, absentee voting, early voting, all of these additional practices that have been put in place, especially since COVID, have really created just an open door for fraudulent voting.
00:29:05.900 I mean, it's really easy, at least in the state of Michigan where I live, for people to cheat elections.
00:29:16.040 And we saw that with the GBI strategy story that I broke it in August of 2023, the fraudulent voter registration group that was operating in Michigan that was being funded by then Senator or candidate Senator Gary Peters and candidate Joe Biden.
00:29:34.740 this is a democratic funded organization that was obtaining tens of thousands of fraudulent
00:29:42.520 voter registrations and then putting them into our system and you know really a big part of the
00:29:48.600 problem is that not only does the mainstream media not cover these stories but then when we
00:29:54.920 cover these stories they immediately come out and try and find a reason why they're not legitimate
00:29:59.800 it, which is what you're talking about in Minnesota. So all of a sudden the story becomes,
00:30:04.320 um, the fact that James O'Keefe used the name of a voter in Minnesota. Really, you know what,
00:30:10.480 there's no way to prove that that's, that's the person that they were talking about. He could
00:30:15.000 have made up a name and it just happened to be the name of that person. We don't know,
00:30:18.620 but that's not the story. I mean, people should be outraged to see a voter coming in with no
00:30:24.940 voter id and then vouching for eight voters who also don't have voter id you know it's interesting
00:30:32.040 patty mcmurray with the gateway pundit um you can follow her on x by the way patty loves truth
00:30:37.120 patty i i i look at this and you just mentioned gbi strategies but the president just mentioned
00:30:43.080 this in fact when he he came out and laid out the case for what what these issues are declassified
00:30:49.440 a lot of these documents he mentioned that case uh specifically now it has roots here in muskegon
00:30:55.760 michigan where i'm from but that case in fact uh it it spans the entire country this was happening
00:31:03.060 this operation was happening all across the country yeah absolutely it was happening in
00:31:09.120 multiple states which is which is really why um apparently the fbi came in and took over the
00:31:15.820 investigation in michigan i mean it was a statewide investigation and you know like i
00:31:21.140 mentioned earlier about it's not just the media it's also um you know people in in the democrat
00:31:27.020 party and unfortunately that's just what it is um you know that when when we broke this story we
00:31:32.380 first broke this story dana nestle our attorney general here in michigan immediately came out
00:31:38.080 and tried to discredit the reporting um and her press secretary at the time said you know well
00:31:44.920 you know, there's no evidence that even though tens of thousands, at least in Muskegon,
00:31:51.440 application or false registrations were turned in, that it had any effect on the election.
00:31:57.600 And they focused really on Muskegon in their response. They didn't talk about was that in the
00:32:04.980 police, the Michigan State Police discovered that there were 68 additional cities for these
00:32:10.600 packages were being mailed to throughout Michigan.
00:32:12.820 So it wasn't just Muskegon.
00:32:14.720 So we really have no way of knowing how those voter registrations that were
00:32:18.900 turned in prior to the 2020 election, how they affected the outcome of our election.
00:32:23.520 We just really have no way of knowing.
00:32:24.920 And, and secretary of state, former secretary of state, Ruth Johnson, who
00:32:29.360 is now a Michigan Senator, um, has estimated that she believes that there
00:32:33.380 are over 800,000 assentee ballots that were sent to non-qualified voters in
00:32:39.000 Michigan prior to the 2020 election. I mean,
00:32:43.000 Trump lost by 154,000 votes in Michigan.
00:32:46.840 And this former secretary of state is estimating that she believes over
00:32:51.640 800,000 absentee ballot applications were sent to
00:32:57.160 people that didn't even qualify. And we find it every day. I mean, we,
00:33:01.000 through check my vote, we found thousands of non-citizens, 1.00
00:33:05.160 excuse me, thousands of dead people on our voter rolls, and they're just not coming off. 0.87
00:33:11.720 And not to mention non-citizens, which is a whole other thing. Let's talk about the solution on this 1.00
00:33:17.060 because the solution is, I think, in part is something the president has been really pounding
00:33:25.680 the drum on to try and get done, and yet the Senate just doesn't seem to want to get the
00:33:32.000 picture it's not something that's unpopular at all in fact it's it's hugely popular that solution
00:33:38.300 is super simple and to me it's obvious it's truth logic and common sense i think a lot of other
00:33:44.540 people look at it the same way in fact we have the polling to show that why aren't they moving
00:33:49.000 patty mcmurray hang on one second we got to take a quick break we'll get into the solution when we
00:33:53.880 come back and make it as obvious as we can for folks on the left and those in the senate still
00:34:00.880 that are holding all of this up.
00:34:03.100 Justin Barkley in for Glenn today,
00:34:04.580 back next on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:34:08.740 Glenn Beck.

00:34:43.560 He ran half a marathon.
00:34:45.260 Now he tells his friends about Relief Factor.
00:34:47.340 I'm the same.
00:34:48.200 Totally understand how Chris feels because I do it every day.
00:34:51.400 I tell my friends how I was just with somebody that works at the White House.

00:35:22.900 A few years ago when the opportunity came to challenge Roe vs. Wade,
00:35:26.420 The Alliance Defending Freedom was right there in the thick of it.
00:35:29.920 Just a few months ago, they won a major free speech case at the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of a Christian counselor, Kaylee Childs.
00:35:36.940 And they continue to take on the big business of our time, defending women's sports, protecting parents, pushing back against the expansion of mail-order abortion drugs, and standing up for God's design for men and women.
00:35:48.880 These battles don't end when the headlines fade.
00:35:51.420 They continue in the courtrooms and the legislature and the communities all across our country.
00:35:55.640 That's why Alliance Defending Freedom relies on people like you.
00:36:00.020 Your support helps them defend the God-given rights and freedoms
00:36:02.980 that so many Americans have simply taken for granted until now.
00:36:06.960 For a limited time, every dollar you give to ADF will be matched.
00:36:10.360 That means $25 becomes $50, $50 becomes $100,
00:36:13.400 but only while the matching funds last.
00:36:15.140 So go to joinadf.com slash Beck or text Beck at 83848.
00:36:21.160 Joinadf.com slash Beck.
00:36:25.640 What is a requirement?
00:36:35.640 You're already pre-registered, so nothing else.
00:36:39.640 You'll sign something and we'll get your phone number.
00:36:41.640 And then she vote?
00:36:42.640 Yeah.
00:36:43.640 Okay.
00:36:44.640 Do we need ID?
00:36:46.640 Nope.
00:36:47.640 No ID needed?
00:36:48.640 Her ID?
00:36:49.640 She does not need ID?
00:36:50.640 Nope.
00:36:51.640 I have also seven other people.
00:36:55.700 Why would we need ID for something as...
00:37:00.580 I have to have ID.
00:37:01.760 If you want to buy cold medicine at the drugstore, you've got to have ID.
00:37:06.760 You've got a full-body cavity, sir, to get on a plane these days.
00:37:09.380 Patty McMurray with us at the Gateway Pundit.
00:37:12.060 Welcome in.
00:37:12.700 Justin Barkley in for Beck today on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:37:15.600 Patty, this is what we're talking about.
00:37:16.920 The solution, the president says, is the Save America Act, but the Senate won't act.
00:37:21.640 Let's talk about that.
00:37:24.920 Yeah, that's very confusing to me.
00:37:28.400 And to be honest, I think it confuses most Americans because a large percentage, over 80 percent of all Americans agree with the president wanting to have forcing ID, forcing people to use ID in the voting places.
00:37:45.380 And, you know, you talked about the solution.
00:37:48.080 You know, the solution really is tightening up the voter rolls.
00:37:51.060 That's where we're having a real problem. That's where we have all these voters that don't belong in the voter rolls.
00:37:56.680 That's what makes it easy to cheat. It's also people that are coming in, obviously, and not being American citizens and voting.
00:38:04.040 That's a real problem, which is what James O'Keefe was highlighting in his report.
00:38:08.940 But, you know, the problem is, and people don't, you know, people don't really 100 percent understand how serious it is to have voter rolls that are mismanaged. 1.00
00:38:17.820 You know, Jocelyn Benson, the Department of Justice is demanding the voter rolls so that they can clean them off and get rid of the dead voters, the non-citizens. 1.00
00:38:28.540 She won't give them to them. 0.99
00:38:31.240 That should make every single citizen in the state of Michigan really question her integrity and her intentions. 1.00
00:38:38.660 Why she wouldn't want to have her voter rolls cleaned off and have non-citizens taken off the voter rolls should really make everyone question her. 1.00
00:38:47.820 and she's running for governor and she'll be running her own election.
00:38:51.300 But, you know, for instance, if somebody registers a non-citizen,
00:38:54.960 it puts that person in danger of being denied citizenship.
00:39:01.000 And that, you know, recently happened.
00:39:02.560 I spoke with a woman whose husband came here from Romania,
00:39:05.120 and all of a sudden they got a notification in the mail
00:39:09.480 asking if he wanted to fill out his absentee ballot.
00:39:14.120 Somebody had registered him to vote, so he reported it.
00:39:16.660 And when he reported it, his file was flagged.
00:39:20.580 And then they were, his whole entire citizenship case, which he had been working on for years, was put in jeopardy.
00:39:27.660 So people don't understand how serious it is.
00:39:30.680 If a homeless person, if somebody votes for a homeless person, and, you know, I'm working, we have all the documents in the 2020 election, as you know, in Detroit.
00:39:39.420 And we're saying just incredible things as we go through.
00:39:42.620 But one of the things that I've noticed is the frequency of turnover at these homeless shelters and the number of people that are being registered.
00:39:52.880 And in Michigan, you can literally register from a park bench.
00:39:56.760 You don't have to have, if you say that you sleep on that park bench, that can be your home where you register.
00:40:02.080 You don't have to have a permanent residence.
00:40:03.880 You don't have to prove residency.
00:40:05.240 You just have to say it.
00:40:06.880 So these things are real problems, you know.
00:40:09.020 And if somebody registers to vote and votes for a homeless person, that person can be charged for a crime.
00:40:14.200 So they're putting a homeless person in jeopardy when that happens.
00:40:17.380 I mean, there are a million ways that people can be put in jeopardy of committing crimes because other people are using their names to register them to vote.
00:40:25.340 I think that's a real problem that people don't understand.
00:40:27.960 I mean, it's not just that they're stealing elections through fake registrations, but they're also putting people in legal jeopardy when they use their names to vote.

00:42:37.740 the Glenn Beck Program.
00:42:40.480 Glenn Beck is on.
00:42:42.660 Yeah, elections
00:42:43.940 have consequences.
00:42:46.260 And, well, we've got a big one
00:42:48.400 on the way here
00:42:49.640 in November. But before we get there,
00:42:52.580 we've got to deal with primaries in a lot of
00:42:54.460 states. And one of the biggest, in fact, could
00:42:56.280 really swing what's going to happen
00:42:58.220 in November
00:42:59.700 happens in Florida. In fact,
00:43:01.980 tomorrow. Want to talk about that and how
00:43:04.480 is it... You ever noticed that
00:43:06.320 sometimes in the most red places, we get
00:43:08.380 some of the most
00:43:10.340 wishy-washy
00:43:11.760 candidates. 0.95
00:43:14.180 Some of the most and worst rhinos.
00:43:17.160 Why is that?
00:43:18.740 We'll discuss
00:43:20.600 that, guard against it,
00:43:22.760 shine the light on this with a big
00:43:24.320 warning, and talk to a candidate
00:43:26.500 who is anything
00:43:28.380 but. In fact,
00:43:29.260 probably the I would say the most conservative in fact in this district running in in Florida
00:43:35.760 one of the most important we'll dig into it coming up after this Barkley and for Beck today
00:43:41.220 on the Glenn Beck program you've been hearing about the struggles with the country's housing
00:43:47.640 market for a couple of years now higher mortgage rates have led to stagnation and home sellers and
00:43:52.720 buyers are sitting on the sideline well the Fed has dropped the rates but it really hasn't solved
00:43:57.020 the issue homebuyers and sellers are facing. And if you need to sell or buy a home, I strongly
00:44:02.420 urge you to check out my company, realestateagentsitrust.com. Our agents are remarkable
00:44:08.660 and equally important is that they're just good and decent people. They're like-minded. They share

00:44:41.400 The name says it all, realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:44:45.160 our next guest knows a thing or two about being conservative in fact he uh he's he's the voice
00:45:00.040 behind the voice of the most conservative uh radio stations in a in a in an area that is
00:45:08.100 probably the most red you could get in the entire country in the free state of florida
00:45:14.440 Jim Schwartzel joins us now.
00:45:15.980 He's a candidate for Florida's 19th.
00:45:18.060 He's a Republican, and there's a, like I said, there's a stack of them, of candidates in this race.
00:45:24.400 This is the race to replace the very popular Byron Donalds.
00:45:27.580 The question I have here is there are a lot of out-of-towners and former members of Congress from, like, other districts that have relocated to that area just to run.
00:45:37.640 And you've got folks like, oh, I actually won't even say their names.
00:45:42.460 But they think, I guess, they're running because they think it's a guaranteed seat, and I'm not really sure there's another district like it in the country with so many former elected officials out there from out of state relocating to try to run for the seat, whether it's power, whatever it is that they're after.
00:45:59.340 And I'm just wondering, how often is it we see times like this where we end up with rhinos in places where we shouldn't?
00:46:05.940 like i said one local conservative candidate born and raised there in southwest florida jim
00:46:11.460 schwartzel is on with us now jim thank you so much for being here with us and again as i mentioned
00:46:15.840 uh we're actually on the radio right now it's uh with jim on his radio station jim welcome in
00:46:21.840 that's right justin um you're uh listening to 92.5 fox news in southwest florida
00:46:28.500 and uh it is one of the most conservative areas of the country i even have another radio station
00:46:34.480 we call trump country so and it's country music so it's uh it's uh we're a bastion down here of
00:46:41.620 red and uh we have a whole bunch of blue state rhino uh candidates that have been failures in
00:46:47.780 other states that have uh relocated here uh amazingly enough to try to run for congress
00:46:54.120 what do you think that is they think it's because there's maybe it's a shoe-in it's such a red
00:46:59.020 area that uh that that well if they win they'll obviously uh win the primary they'll obviously
00:47:05.500 win the general is that is that what it is correct and we have a simple majority in florida so you
00:47:10.700 don't there's no runoff and so these people think that they can come down here and try to buy one
00:47:16.880 out of five votes and because 20 could win this election uh for byron donald's in 2020 he won with
00:47:24.580 20.7 percent of the vote wow yeah i've seen this in other cases uh in places like michigan as well
00:47:32.940 gem where you you you can see and they they easily do uh split that vote and there's several candidates
00:47:41.500 in fact some of them are even a little kookier than others you know running as far out uh as
00:47:47.220 they can um and then what happens is because we as conservatives we don't really necessarily know
00:47:53.920 And it is like, you know, Democrats, they all sort of jump in line with each other.
00:47:57.660 But with conservatives, it's kind of like herding cats.
00:47:59.920 We all have our own ideas.
00:48:01.260 We all kind of know where we want to go.
00:48:03.900 But that does split a vote in a primary like this, where instead of consolidating behind one candidate who you could you can be assured if they win is going to be your conservative representative.
00:48:16.260 A lot of times we end up with people like, how do you get a Mitt Romney in a place like Utah?
00:48:20.460 You see what I mean?
00:48:21.200 It's this is it.
00:48:22.580 Yeah. Well, you know, I'm the local voice. I was born and raised here. I built my businesses here. I own radio and TV and a publishing company in Southwest Florida. And I mean, this is a beautiful place. I married my high school sweetheart, raised my kids. I serve this community. I have this community's best interest at heart. I've been here my entire life.
00:48:42.520 we will keep this red and keep it local and we'll fight for southwest florida
00:48:47.100 and we're not going to let someone just move in uh from someplace else uh one of my one of my
00:48:53.540 opponents they were at uh one of these uh republican meetings and someone asked him a
00:48:57.520 question you know can uh do you know the county commissioner oh yes i know him and the lady goes
00:49:03.640 well what's his name you know and it's like she couldn't name it and she couldn't name any school
00:49:09.160 board member she couldn't name any mayor i mean it was just these people are so new to southwest
00:49:15.200 florida that they don't even know the directions to the beaches it it is unthinkable uh carpet
00:49:22.960 baggers that's the name that uh we ought to bring that back in fact look i know that folks in
00:49:30.620 southwest florida probably a lot of them see through some of this i would imagine what are
00:49:35.280 you hearing from people on the ground? Oh, the groundswell is real. We feel it. I feel I feel
00:49:41.400 the energy of the community behind me. And, you know, I mean, I've been a part of this community
00:49:46.860 my whole life. I've been to, you know, charity balls and all this other kind of stuff and
00:49:52.800 fundraisers and after hurricanes, raising money for people. And I was cooking food for the linemen
00:50:00.160 after Hurricane Ian. And, you know, because they're out there trying to string the new
00:50:04.120 power poles back up and so i this is you know they're taking shots at me you know they can do
00:50:10.280 all the negative i've run i've run a really clean campaign uh we are we're just talking about what i
00:50:15.860 do in this community and uh we're moving forward and we're gonna win this thing tomorrow what are
00:50:22.700 you uh hearing as far as the biggest issues for folks i mean i i know that uh southwest florida
00:50:29.680 is probably a little different than Michigan. Yet, I would imagine very similar. Making sure
00:50:35.560 President Trump continues to have the, you know, the firepower to get things done. We got to make
00:50:41.700 it through this, this next couple of years. Well, Byron Donalds is one of the biggest supporters
00:50:46.880 of President Trump. And he's going to be our next Florida governor. I mean, he's going to be great.
00:50:52.400 DeSantis was great. Byron's going to be even better behind him having that having that runway
00:50:58.160 that de santis laid down for him and you know president trump needs the strongest supporters
00:51:03.160 he can get in this seat because byron was one of those and i'm that guy um through and through
00:51:07.920 in southwest florida yeah jim schwarzel's with us right now he's running by the way
00:51:12.840 um in the district 19 down there southwest florida uh and jim for congress.com is the uh
00:51:20.780 is the website um now i know because they've done a lot of chopping and i know ron de santis the
00:51:25.800 Governor there did a lot of chopping, in fact, to the benefit of Republicans in some of these areas.
00:51:31.300 How does that change? Does it change your district much?
00:51:33.320 And from what I understand, it could net us quite a few more seats there in the House.
00:51:39.600 Yeah, they're looking three to four seats to add up.
00:51:43.100 And some of the races are going to be tougher than others, but that's going to be the general election.
00:51:47.480 And, you know, once we've got to get through the primary and then in some of those tougher seats,
00:51:52.380 I will be happy to campaign around the state to help some of our fellow guys who have tougher races for the general, because Southwest Florida is a huge Republican seat.
00:52:03.460 And as you said earlier, it will be a Republican seat.
00:52:07.240 But there are some that don't quite have the lean that's as far as that we need.
00:52:13.000 And so we'll be working really hard to try to get as many members of Congress be read out of the state of Florida as we possibly can.
00:52:21.260 Yeah, it's an important race.
00:52:23.160 And I would say in that district more than ever, not just Republicans, but good Republicans.
00:52:28.640 People are actually conservative who actually mean what they say, and they got a track record to prove it, I would imagine.
00:52:35.400 Oh, absolutely.
00:52:36.920 And we need more business people in Congress.
00:52:40.740 Frankly, I'm a business person.
00:52:42.280 I've never run for public office.
00:52:44.100 I'm not a career candidate or a career politician.
00:52:48.700 I'm here to serve the president and serve Southwest Florida.
00:52:51.900 So we are we're going to push this thing through and we're going to be as hardcore as possible.
00:52:57.500 We've got to get rid of this whole Democrat communist people and, you know, and get real Republicans, bright red Republicans that are going to support President Trump.
00:53:08.700 I mean, we actually have one of the candidates in this race is being funded by an anti-Trump PAC, even though I said she.
00:53:17.280 but it is a she but even though she will sit there and say all day long that she's for president 0.99
00:53:22.200 trump uh look at it this way uh she has a pack that's put 5.4 million dollars behind her in this
00:53:31.200 race and they are anti-trump which is unbelievable jim schwarzel with us now in the 19th congressional
00:53:38.320 district in florida um you just mentioned you are a businessman uh you you've made a living uh doing
00:53:45.020 some really great things in southwest florida with with media radio and television and some
00:53:49.920 of the most respected i'll just say in the in the entire industry right there um you didn't have to
00:53:56.020 do this though and you know similar to the president what was it jim what what made you jump
00:54:03.000 well things like the president i mean he is a businessman and our great senator rick scott
00:54:08.660 from southwest florida he lives in naples and uh you know he's a businessman before he became a
00:54:13.840 politician so i mean it's the same thing they they both want to serve this country it's about
00:54:18.580 america first it's about southwest florida first and that's what you know that's what i'm here for
00:54:24.380 and that's also what uh senator scott and president trump do i mean it's all america first we got to
00:54:30.660 put america number one yeah i have family there um and by the way it's you know i love i do i love
00:54:38.760 michigan you know but uh this is always in fact southwest florida has always could have been the
00:54:44.300 the escape hatch you know the free state of florida is there waiting if we need it but
00:54:49.380 it's a really unique area i mean you have in southwest florida as you know but folks listening
00:54:55.780 may not the beaches which is what you sort of think about when you think of florida but there's
00:55:00.540 lots of rural and farmland there uh in fact i have some family that have that go way back in that
00:55:06.980 area well there's some beautiful you have all the hammocks of the oaks and i mean you've got
00:55:13.720 some beautiful areas of southwest florida where we still could go on and fishing and you go on atvs
00:55:19.900 and have a have a ball down here i mean it's a the southwest florida coast uh on the gulf of
00:55:25.280 america i mean it is uh we've got a lot of backwater islands we got we got lots of things
00:55:30.320 to do down here and it's a it's a beautiful area of the country and i get why people are moving here
00:55:34.960 we have people moving here every day and we got to be smart about the growth smart about our
00:55:40.420 infrastructure and uh who better knows it than someone who's lived there lived here their entire
00:55:45.360 life and absolutely your election is tomorrow for the primary jim uh i know you got lots to do

00:56:38.480 It's a big one tomorrow.
00:56:40.020 Lots of races we're keeping around.
00:56:41.680 We'll talk about some of those coming up, too.
00:56:43.900 888-727-BECK.
00:56:45.780 That's 888-727-BECK if you want to join the program.
00:56:49.120 Justin at JustinBarclay.com, my email.
00:56:52.040 We're back with you next on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:56:56.000 Cozy Earth's mission is to transform the time that matters most,
00:56:59.640 your sleep into the most comfortable part of your day. Sleeping in a cooler environment offers
00:57:04.160 several scientifically supported benefits. Studies show that cooler temperatures promote the natural
00:57:08.920 release of melatonin. This leads to a faster sleep onset, better mood regulation, and significantly
00:57:15.160 improve sleep quality. That is exactly why Cozier's premium sheets are just such a game changer.
00:57:20.340 Tanya and I love the sheets in the heat of Florida or here at the ranch. These sheets give our bed
00:57:24.340 the luxurious feel and comfort for great sleep made from viscose from bamboo they naturally
00:57:30.140 wick away heat and moisture from your body their temperature regulating helping everybody sleep
00:57:34.620 several degrees cooler to completely eliminate the risk of night sweats so try them out completely
00:57:40.440 risk-free cozy earth has a hundred night sleep trial and every set is built to last with a 10
00:57:45.860 year warranty head to cozy earth.com right now use the promo code beck get 20 off that's code
00:57:50.780 beck 20 off and you get a post-purchase survey make sure you mention you heard about cozy earth
00:57:55.400 right here you know they get some rhinos somebody was i just heard this they got rhinos in the swamp
00:58:12.040 too uh apparently yeah right now i think in the swamp too uh they can be anywhere they can be
00:58:21.440 everywhere in fact it's funny that some of the if you think about this some of the most conservative
00:58:27.020 some of the most red areas is where we have some of these issues that why they they know they've
00:58:32.860 targeted they've they've they've targeted these areas because they know they've got an easy win
00:58:39.720 if they do, in fact, get through the primary.
00:58:42.760 And there's all kinds of dirty tricks and great things that take place
00:58:48.520 and go on as you watch that play out.
00:58:51.200 It's no surprise.
00:58:53.560 But that's why these elections matter.
00:58:56.720 That's why they matter more than ever.
00:58:58.280 And, in fact, this is going to be a big one.
00:59:03.320 This is going to be a big one.
00:59:05.240 Not just, obviously, in the primary in Florida.
00:59:07.980 But look at how the primary has had, not just on the Republican side, but also on the Democrat side, impact here in Michigan.
00:59:16.020 In fact, we're going to talk to Mike Rogers coming up in a little bit.
00:59:20.100 Mike Rogers is the candidate for Senate who is running out of Michigan, former congressman.
00:59:25.700 And he is, he's a guy who, if you just put him up against the alternative, which is Abdul Rahman Mohammed El-Sayed, running as the Democrat, socialist, it's the red-green thing, right? 0.95
00:59:42.240 The commie-Islamist combination, a killer combination, literally. 0.59
00:59:50.780 um but now the polling and we'll talk about this a little bit later on in the program but 0.72
00:59:57.120 the pro the polling is showing that even though they were able to swing at that race as far left
01:00:06.600 as they did that in the general things aren't looking so great for uh abdul i'll say it um
01:00:16.280 We're starting to see, in fact, I think it was Kalshi who had one of those betting websites
01:00:22.220 had shown some of the polling before they had the Democrat picked.
01:00:27.600 And yet they had Mike Rogers solidified as the only Republican running.
01:00:33.200 They showed the Democrat was going to win by quite a good margin.
01:00:36.380 When Abdul won the Democrat primary, he sunk.
01:00:42.320 those odds sunk because he became the nominee and then republicans and rogers surged much of it is
01:00:50.220 because of the things that he said much of it is because of the things that he's done the causes
01:00:55.180 he's backed you know when the ayatollah was taken out there's that infamous audio he's caught saying
01:01:02.740 um you know i i don't know if we want to issue a statement on this there are people in dearborn
01:01:08.300 that aren't happy about this aren't happy well you can't call evil and clearly call it out i don't
01:01:14.960 know i you you got bigger issues well now haley stevens the congresswoman he lost to in that race
01:01:24.860 interviewed uh fox i believe this weekend is calling on him to disavow this hassan piker guy
01:01:30.760 the guy said yeah america deserved 9-11 and he hasn't he hasn't been able to do that yet you
01:01:35.900 know, you talk about not quite getting over the finish line, but it's not like he won in a
01:01:39.460 landslide. I mean, this was closer than anybody expected. And the electability case that you made
01:01:45.180 during your campaign is now bearing out. I mean, more than half of the electorate in your state,
01:01:50.240 54 percent, say they're concerned that al-Sayed's positions are too extreme. If you break it down
01:01:54.720 further, twice as many Democrats are concerned that he's too extreme as Republicans who are
01:01:59.260 concerned that Mike Rogers is too close to President Trump. Would you call on Abdul al-Sayed
01:02:05.160 today to moderate on any specific issues? Well, look, you know, it certainly makes sense to
01:02:13.600 get rid of this Hassan-Piker affiliation. I'm calling on that. I've continued to call on that. 1.00
01:02:19.620 My friend and mentor, Keith Williams, who is a Detroiter, who is chair of the Michigan
01:02:27.600 Democratic Party Black Caucus, you know, he and I spend a lot of time together, you know,
01:02:34.340 brainstorming, putting down some of these, you know, how do we build the American dream
01:02:39.220 notions here in a place called Michigan. And look, any day of the week, you know,
01:02:47.020 the Democratic plan, you know, if you're Alicia Slotkin or Abdul, you know, your plan for health
01:02:53.800 care is better than Mike Rogers. Your plan for democracy is better than Mike Rogers.
01:02:58.460 Yeah, your plan for jihad. That's what they're dealing with now, because all of these
01:03:04.200 issues or subjects that they want to talk about
01:03:06.200 completely off the table. They're off the radar
01:03:08.160 and lots of folks
01:03:09.760 not happy with
01:03:12.080 Abdul. That's why the polls
01:03:14.180 are shaking
01:03:16.320 up right now. We'll talk
01:03:18.380 with Mike coming up a little bit later on in the
01:03:20.240 program. Quick break. Love
01:03:22.260 to talk to you too. 888-727-BECK

01:05:03.700 uh we have some breaking news here on the glenbeck program it's justin barkley in for glenn today
01:05:11.760 and this just out of uh just the news john solomon and the folks they're reporting
01:05:17.760 there's an update the one that you never know you needed but there's an update about swalwell
01:05:24.600 and the uh the girlfriend feng feng china um now i thought when i heard do i just heard this
01:05:34.500 producer bj just said hey have you heard this swalwell feng thing i said what isn't she dead
01:05:40.420 still dead that's the update i think i think she died in a plane crash if i remember correctly
01:05:46.180 china but there's more there's the rest of the story let's get to that jason buttrell with us
01:05:51.740 right now jason uh i know you you've been looking at this too what uh what did they find there's some
01:05:56.800 declassified documents that have just come out directly from the fbi justin this was the
01:06:03.440 information that old swalwell did not i mean i think he was asked about this at least five billion
01:06:09.520 times and he would never answer the question he would always pivot away to the met score or
01:06:14.720 something every single time but yeah just from uh just the news uh just a just there's a few big 0.66
01:06:20.740 points so swalwell apparently did admit to having sex with fang fang although i looked up the newly
01:06:26.680 declassified files this is how it was described in the fbi documents quote swalwell had a drink
01:06:33.960 with fang fang a couple weeks after they first met in 2012 he had quote physical relations with fang
01:06:41.860 on a handful of occasions but never dated her or had a romantic relationship march 2015 was the
01:06:48.640 last time swallow had quote physical relations with fang that sounds that sounds clinton-esque
01:06:59.860 that sounds like i did not have you know that but i would just call it that much easier to call it
01:07:05.980 he did the bang bang with fang fang that's probably easier that's easier that there's so
01:07:12.040 many jokes here that i'm gonna have to just make sure that because i right now i'm said the lord
01:07:17.440 is saying get away from it get away from it so let's talk about the seriousness of it though
01:07:23.040 because this is this is a sitting congressman who had this and no doubt like chinese honeypot
01:07:29.520 which sounds like something you you you might get at uh panda express but it it he he had this
01:07:36.780 this relationship and the question is was he swayed by the was there any intel that they got
01:07:42.240 from him and who knows yeah so it goes beyond the salacious here so reading from just the news um
01:07:50.320 his staff placing fang's interns in congress and not having a strong enough campaign finance system
01:07:57.540 to detect the straw donations she allegedly passed through u.s citizen conduits that's directly from
01:08:04.280 just the news so this goes beyond just i guess i i don't know if how you classify this as fang
01:08:11.660 attempting to honeypot Swalwell. It sounds like they did have, quote, physical relations,
01:08:17.420 but it sounds like it goes further into what's being described as straw donations. She allegedly
01:08:23.100 passed through U.S. citizen conduits. Now, apparently, the FBI, the DOJ, tried to,
01:08:31.780 it sounds like, recruit her in some way. It said they planned to hire her through a cutout company
01:08:39.340 and was still evaluating her suitability as a confidential human source,
01:08:43.900 and that is when they discovered her alleged criminal behavior.
01:08:47.520 So I remember, who was it?
01:08:49.360 Was it Chuck Grassley or somebody else when they were talking about this?
01:08:53.260 They were very, very careful with revealing, it sounds like some of this information,
01:08:57.580 but it sounded like they were alluding to very troubling additional details,
01:09:03.000 and that's starting to come out.
01:09:04.420 I mean, it makes you wonder how many of these playboy-esque congressmen senators out there
01:09:11.280 are being very willy-nilly with some of these relationships.
01:09:16.340 It makes you wonder why some of the votes, I mean, I think it's kind of obvious.
01:09:20.820 I mean, by the way, Jason, I'm completely shocked by all of this.
01:09:25.120 Oh, because I am shocked.
01:09:27.860 I can't believe we're like, now, is there any legal ramifications,
01:09:33.720 anything uh for swalwell with with these declassified documents i don't so i don't
01:09:39.280 see anything legal now that's always been swalwell's defense and it sounds like there
01:09:44.300 it sounds like one of the things that's even more also just as troubling about this is that it
01:09:49.120 sounds like pretty much everyone in the senate and house knew about this that's what it sounded
01:09:53.400 like before we got these documents um but it doesn't sound like he had any knowledge of it
01:09:58.380 he was just like sounded like just being party boy and you know not paying attention to who
01:10:04.140 it was apparently shocking to some of these men justin that some of these very attractive women
01:10:10.260 want to get close to these nerds and then all of a sudden they find out later oh i didn't see that 0.99
01:10:16.420 coming i totally didn't see that coming uh the geeks will inherit the earth that was not part of
01:10:23.120 them that was not part of the program uh well it is interesting and again like i said just
01:10:30.200 absolutely shocking uh i would love to see i think anybody else listening to this would think
01:10:34.580 isn't this that we've got to we've got to get accountability we have to see that happen in
01:10:40.780 in each of these cases or this whole thing is just going to continue yeah it really is
01:10:45.200 justin are you watching uh the new uh what is the yellowstone creators uh lioness uh season
01:10:51.920 Have you been watching that?
01:10:53.020 Not yet.
01:10:54.200 No, I'm so limited on TV, but that one I haven't.
01:10:58.100 I love his stuff, though.
01:10:59.360 Oh, man.
01:11:00.300 Things he's been talking about today, just in the last episode, they hit on multiple
01:11:04.460 different conversations you were having today.
01:11:06.720 They were talking about, you know, well, they didn't mention Iran, but they kind of
01:11:10.560 talked about the technology that's being used to really equalize forces.
01:11:14.220 And, you know, you can draw that, the parallels with Iran, but they were talking about Ukraine.
01:11:18.380 But in this last episode, they were talking about all these different things that are affecting public opinion, whether it's, you know, foreign money rioting out on the streets.
01:11:28.480 You take that directly to Marco Rubio's Cuba report.
01:11:31.980 They talked about honeypots directly to government officials and senators.
01:11:37.760 And it's almost like now you draw the peril with Swalwell.
01:11:40.440 everything that they're talking about in that show and it it's it's extremely troublesome and
01:11:46.600 worrisome is happening right now and it seems like the government just does not care whether
01:11:52.040 it's you know anti-ice groups just springing up out of nowhere or honey pots or you know foreign
01:11:59.380 you know non-citizens registered to vote 250 000 in just four states you were just talking about
01:12:06.540 that as well with one of your guests from gateway pun i mean this is just insane and it feels like
01:12:10.380 they don't care jason i gotta ask you i don't know this was posted somebody on x old school
01:12:16.500 eddie is the guy's name they said did you notice to your point summer is typically riot season
01:12:21.460 however since usa id was defunded spLC indicted and that will being investigated
01:12:27.440 things have been pretty calm this summer right just saying uh that's interesting i want to ask
01:12:34.360 you two about uh this over the weekend and this is all about public opinion and how it gets shape
01:12:40.360 one of the one of the warnings that we had about this is that you know when you hear stories
01:12:45.060 no matter whether you agree especially if you agree with them right or or or not that information
01:12:50.760 got to be careful with because so much is coming at us and this story about the aircraft carrier
01:12:56.400 maybe you can help shine some light on it the USS Abraham Lincoln we've heard some stories coming
01:13:02.460 out we did hear that one of the sailors I think jumped to his death and again I wonder and it's
01:13:08.160 just during while we're seeing what we're seeing played out and how does how much of this does
01:13:16.420 does this come from and again the the news media is complicit in in sharing these things and how
01:13:23.620 much does that hurt us and our attempts to to get things worked out in in in iran it seems to me
01:13:31.160 uh again just another one of these stories yeah i know it's tough out there but again um i don't
01:13:37.740 know that this should be front page news. Yeah. I'm just now starting to get caught up on that
01:13:42.620 story. I saw a glimpse of it when I was on vacation last week. And the first thing that
01:13:47.240 popped into my mind was I've been deployed on some of these ships right during September 11th.
01:13:53.460 I was actually deployed on a full carrier group during September 11th. And we went straight to
01:14:00.260 Afghanistan right afterwards. So we were on the ships quite a while, missed multiple different
01:14:04.840 port calls. And I will say that it is not uncommon at all for morale to drop, which you've been out
01:14:10.740 of the boat for, you know, multiple months, sustaining combat operations. Things do slide
01:14:17.880 within the ship, whether that is, you know, cleanliness or whatever. It usually doesn't
01:14:23.420 happen long before everyone gets whipped up into shape. But that did not surprise me at all that
01:14:28.120 things like that do happen. You can imagine being on a boat that has a couple, maybe a couple
01:14:33.860 thousand people on it you know every single one of them by name because you see them every day
01:14:38.460 for multiple months in a row and you also know them by their smell uh it is not it's it's not a
01:14:45.200 it's not a happy time yeah it's it's not a happy time so no this doesn't surprise me but i think
01:14:50.300 you make a good point though on you know in in this war with iran it feels like you know we are
01:14:56.860 fighting multiple different you know opposition groups on this we're fighting the iranians you
01:15:01.640 know we're fighting their entire coalition you know sometimes we're fighting you know the gulf 1.00
01:15:05.560 arab kingdoms that you know just want to run away and go back to status quo just as long as they can 1.00
01:15:10.660 i don't know do whatever they want to do and rely on us to protect them and we're also fighting
01:15:15.400 democrats we're fighting never trumpers we're fighting uh the media take your pick and i loved
01:15:23.800 what you said with we were never designed to get all of this information at once like we were never
01:15:28.400 designed to hear the intricacies of every single strategy from the the the presidential's
01:15:35.060 administration and you know all the different ploys all the different takes all the different
01:15:39.180 you know maneuvers we were never designed to get all this at once typically this was through phone
01:15:44.120 calls and eventually that would come to some kind of resolution but now we are getting it
01:15:49.140 minute by minute it's absolutely insane and the other piece is that we all feel like we have to
01:15:54.740 be involved we all need first of all we all need to have a say in it yeah our armchair quarterbacks
01:16:00.120 we all have the answers and uh we all we should all be sitting in that situation room it's just
01:16:05.720 it's really something i've got that clip coming up here in a little bit uh over the weekend um
01:16:11.500 joey jones kind of goes off a little bit about some of it uh similar to what you had said but
01:16:16.140 these are all uh these are all stories uh jason appreciate you hanging with us we're gonna tackle
01:16:22.220 as we've still got more of the show to go.
01:16:24.360 If you want to join us, 888-727-BECK, 888-727-BECK.

01:18:12.740 The USS Abraham Lincoln firing folks up over the weekend.
01:18:17.900 And, in fact, Joey Jones over on Fox.
01:18:20.660 You know what I ate in Afghanistan for six months on a burner, using a little burner?
01:18:26.340 I ate ramen noodles.
01:18:27.360 I had to pull the seasoning packet out because it had too much sodium in it, and I put tuna packets in it.
01:18:32.020 That's what I ate.
01:18:33.160 And you know what? 1.00
01:18:33.700 I was happy to have it because the alternative was an MRE or something cooked by the Afghan guy who was too stupid to be given a gun, and they let him be the cook. 1.00
01:18:42.620 And so if I wanted something spicy, test my fate a little bit, I'd go get a bowl of whatever he made in that giant, you know, urn thing that he had. 1.00
01:18:51.040 How weak are you on TV complaining about tuna and noodles?
01:18:56.340 I'm sorry.
01:18:57.760 You volunteered to serve your country.
01:19:00.300 You can come back, get out of the military, and do like all of these Democrat veterans and complain about it and make commercials and be a sellout if you want to and come up with a new way of doing things. 0.52
01:19:12.200 The last Democrat president that I remember that was deploying troops, Barack Obama, had the army going to Iraq on patrol bases for 15 months at a time eating MREs. 0.68
01:19:23.480 I'm sorry, but you're a sitting duck on a patrol base in Iraq, in Afghanistan, a heck of a lot more than you are on a fortified Navy ship sitting in the water.
01:19:31.820 You might have got bored, and I'm sorry.
01:19:33.880 We did have more fun getting in firefights, I'll say that.
01:19:36.840 But to sit there and say that it was terrible because you had a corn dog and a hot dog, 0.55
01:19:42.240 I would have traded a block of C4 to the Taliban for a hot dog by about July 2010.
01:19:48.520 A little more, yeah, I mean, a little more fired up maybe than Jason.
01:19:53.840 Jason's a little more level-headed.
01:19:55.260 But I will tell you, all of this, and look, I never surfed.
01:20:00.880 I wasn't on a ship.
01:20:02.000 I wasn't in the field.
01:20:03.100 Like, I don't know what they're going through.
01:20:05.040 all i know is and this is this is this is the way we all look at all of this before we
01:20:11.020 you know we contribute to it etc but this stuff shouldn't be front page news it's just like we
01:20:17.340 see when democrats uh on the flip side of things do everything they can in their power
01:20:23.040 to try and stop the president and his negotiations you know that we've seen more in the media and
01:20:31.700 the democrats but but i repeat myself we've seen more from both of these sides do everything they
01:20:38.280 can to absolutely kneecap him at every step of the way and here's here's the problem with that
01:20:45.840 it it's bigger than just partisan politics when you do that it's bigger than right versus left
01:20:53.600 it makes america weaker it makes the the folks that are out there serving it puts them at a
01:21:05.160 disadvantage it puts them in a very bad position because it's stuff like this that gets turned
01:21:12.720 into propaganda and much of it already is but it gets turned into propaganda and it helps the enemy
01:21:20.140 now i don't know i don't know if we've been fighting for so long with each other
01:21:26.500 that we just completely forgotten about these things
01:21:30.540 because yes there are americans who
01:21:36.360 feel like we need to be there and there's americans who feel like we should never have
01:21:41.500 been there and i can have a conversation with either one of them because at the end of the day
01:21:48.540 there's blue and there's red there's left and there's right but what we need to figure out
01:21:53.160 and quick is that we're all americans because this new thing that's coming for us
01:22:01.760 this new thing that's coming for us
01:22:05.560 is maybe the biggest fight we've faced yet
01:22:09.760 we continue the conversation the fight proudly with you back after this justin barkley in for
01:22:16.340 Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program.
01:22:36.540 Hello, America. You know, we've been fighting every single day. We push back against the lies, 0.98

01:27:40.960 It's from Abdul
01:27:42.180 and he wants to take it. 1.00
01:27:44.200 Take it all.
01:27:45.960 The communist policies
01:27:48.280 mixed in with some of the most
01:27:50.080 extremist ideologies
01:27:52.640 that we're hearing about.
01:27:54.020 A man who wouldn't
01:27:56.080 comment on the death of the
01:27:58.240 Ayatollah in Iran.
01:27:59.860 Puzzle out with people who 1.00
01:28:01.620 are, I guess, glad
01:28:04.240 that America got what was coming 0.94
01:28:06.060 as they say in 9-11.
01:28:08.020 These are so far off the spectrum, it's hard for us to even acknowledge or realize that they are real.
01:28:15.780 And yet, here we are.
01:28:17.120 Mike Rogers is running for Truth, Logic, and Common Sense as a Republican, former congressman in that race.
01:28:23.120 Mike, thank you for joining us to be here with us.
01:28:25.120 And again, it's hard to overstate how important this race is.
01:28:31.900 This is really for the heart and soul of the country, and the race is right here.
01:28:36.620 We have DSA flying people in from all over the country. 0.92
01:28:42.180 They're showing up everywhere from San Francisco and Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City,
01:28:47.860 to try to prove the point that America is moving to this Democrat socialist idea here in America.
01:28:55.340 And the reason he does that blue clues, blues clues kind of clip to try to lighten him up
01:29:01.020 is because this is a guy that doesn't believe Israel has the right to exist.
01:29:05.520 This is the guy that wants to ban gas engines.
01:29:09.080 This is the guy that said defund the police.
01:29:12.500 He also said maybe prisons are overrated.
01:29:14.820 Maybe we should be letting people out of prison, including sexual offenders.
01:29:18.140 I mean, he is so far over there and out of the mainstream.
01:29:23.800 That's why he does these, you know, cutesy dance blues clues things.
01:29:29.700 He's trying to, I think, the jangly key theory about don't pay attention to what I really want to do to the country.
01:29:36.580 He's, you know, I mean, I could go down the list, Justin, about all the things.
01:29:39.880 Like, how do you not like Mackinac Island, or at least if you're running for office,
01:29:44.120 keep your mouth shut about what is an iconic destination for Michiganders and people around the country.
01:29:53.860 Doesn't like football.
01:29:55.320 I mean, the other day just came out that he thinks bacon is toxic.
01:29:58.140 I mean, this guy is not somebody you want to sit down and go to a, well, obviously a football barbecue with.
01:30:06.260 Mike Rogers with us right now, the former congressman running for this Senate seat.
01:30:11.220 I think it is so jarring for a lot of people because it is a lot of what we've seen come out about Abdul has been sort of it's anti-American at its finest.
01:30:24.140 we have on the year of the 25th anniversary of september 11th we have some of the things that
01:30:32.240 he's uh he's he's been noted the to uh the people he's been noted to hang around with
01:30:37.360 very much supporters i mean these aren't just supporters these are people there
01:30:40.320 with him on election night um he's so you know you know my mom said when i was a kid you know
01:30:46.520 and and i heard this quite a bit growing up is just show us your your five your five closest
01:30:51.500 friends will tell you who you know you're going to be this is a this is a warning to all of us
01:30:56.600 uh mike but it's it's it's not just in the extremist of of those things that we hear that
01:31:03.200 are so crazy to us but it is it's in the policies as well and these commie i call it that sort of
01:31:10.320 a commie jihadi combo here is is all about death and the and the and really the the the juxtaposition
01:31:18.380 the contrast is what you're trying to do is bring Michigan back on track. And I know you've been 0.97
01:31:26.120 talking a lot about it. The president has dealt quite a bit about bringing manufacturing back to
01:31:30.820 the United States. And in fact, we've already seen some of that take its play here in the
01:31:36.600 manufacturing here in Michigan with the big three. But how important is that? Again, not just looking
01:31:42.820 at the past of a state like Michigan, but looking forward that we make things and we make them great
01:31:49.520 in America again. Absolutely, and we have plans to do all of that. This is really about making
01:31:56.540 sure we get back into defense industrial-based manufacturing here in Michigan. We had a quarter
01:32:01.620 century of two Democrats in the U.S. Senate representing Michigan, and we've lost in that
01:32:06.120 quarter century 200,000 manufacturing jobs. Our median wage has slipped below the national average.
01:32:12.580 Remember, we were leading that metric not that long ago, and, I mean, every metric has gotten worse.
01:32:20.080 Our education has gotten worse.
01:32:21.560 We're now 45th, 40 years old to buy your first home here, and we have solutions for all of this.
01:32:27.380 We're going to fix it.
01:32:28.880 And one of the things we're going to do is bring SHOP back and put it in every high school in Michigan.
01:32:32.720 And why that's important is that helps us attract this next generation of advanced manufacturing of skilled trades that China can't steal and AI can't replace.
01:32:45.180 And so we've got a really aggressive plan to make sure that we're competitive, our kids can read at grade level, that we're going to get kids exposed to the opportunities of the skilled trades through shop.
01:32:58.720 And by the way, my dad was a shop teacher, so I come about this honestly.
01:33:02.720 We all took, all five of us boys took shop, and man, it was one of the best things we've ever done.
01:33:07.480 And so you start going down through the things that we're doing to make sure that Michigan is now not just trying to tread water,
01:33:15.920 but try to excel to be the envy of the country when it comes to manufacturing.
01:33:20.120 That's what my goal will be as the next United States senator.
01:33:22.880 you know in addition to stopping somebody who wants to ban gas cars and loves ev mandates and
01:33:29.000 wants to raise your taxes about ten thousand uh dollars for each family because he wants your
01:33:36.600 private health care to be turned over to the government and so i i just he is not aligned
01:33:41.920 with michigan and he can do all the cute videos he wants michiganers know it we've seen the polling
01:33:48.580 reflect that specifically recently and uh i think there's some opportunities in there mike rogers
01:33:54.840 with us right now former congressman running for senate here in michigan against the extreme uh
01:34:00.260 abdul el sayed the the story continues to to play out in the polls but that's that's one thing the
01:34:06.340 other thing is what people are are telling you in person and i know look a lot of the things in fact
01:34:12.040 you just mentioned him a lot of the reasons why some of these socialist policies some of these
01:34:17.860 ideas are are taking root with some young people's number one they don't have much they don't
01:34:22.520 understand they don't have much a concept of in the context of history and how uh they've they've
01:34:27.940 led to very bad places uh millions and millions dead throughout the years but the other thing is
01:34:33.580 these very people on the left it's democrats who largely particularly in this state but also
01:34:39.560 throughout the the country have been the ones to cause these problems now the arsonists are
01:34:45.620 masquerading as the firemen and they say we're here to put the fire out and they're the ones
01:34:50.100 that spark the flame yeah this is like uh chickens for chick-fil-a i mean it just makes no sense to
01:34:58.420 me whatsoever why people would get schnookered so fast after the biden administration had the
01:35:04.440 highest interest rates in generations by spending but remember when they dumped all of that cash
01:35:10.200 into the economy, everything got more expensive. And by the way, that takes some time to get out
01:35:16.020 of the system. I mean, they spent, what, $6 trillion in that time, more? And it's just
01:35:21.580 staggering. And then they reduced American energy availability. So they purposely made your utility
01:35:29.440 bills higher and your gasoline prices higher when they went through all that. Because remember,
01:35:34.580 they were the ones that didn't want you to use any of that. And so I think the president back
01:35:39.480 D.C. is trying to, under the surface here, make sure we have American energy, unleash it on the
01:35:45.300 market, make sure that we've got a handle on it. I think he reduced the federal employment by well
01:35:51.100 over 100,000 people that make, by the way, in D.C., over $100,000 a year. Anybody miss them?
01:36:00.600 That's what I thought. Nobody missed them. They didn't even know they were there, half of them.
01:36:05.180 So this is what we've got to do.
01:36:07.040 We've got to fix that underbelly.
01:36:08.600 We've got to try to recoup what the Biden administration did to the country.
01:36:13.480 And then we're going to give hope.
01:36:14.980 We've got a housing bill that's going to get young people have the ability to save tax-free for a down payment of a house,
01:36:21.300 get credit for your on-time rent payments, which, by the way, crazily enough, you don't get credit for them now when you walk into the bank.
01:36:29.500 We're going to create an atmosphere where builders want to build.
01:36:34.720 You know, Detroit is an example.
01:36:36.940 We're going to encourage builders to build on empty lots.
01:36:39.480 There's 122,000 of them.
01:36:42.140 We want builders to take a risk, go in there, build homes, sell it to individuals.
01:36:46.280 They'll be able to take 100% tax deduction on the money they make on those projects.
01:36:51.480 So we're doing it the old-fashioned way.
01:36:53.400 We're using conservative principles to encourage growth, to encourage people to want to come back to Michigan,
01:36:59.740 and to encourage our kids not to want to leave Michigan.
01:37:02.700 And this is a huge problem here where, you know, parents and grandparents tell me with tears in their eyes about their kids walking in saying, I just can't make it here.
01:37:11.400 I got to go. And you can't make it expensive.
01:37:14.020 You can't regulate manufacturers out of existence here and wonder why our median wage is going down.
01:37:21.640 We're going to change all of that.
01:37:22.940 I'm pretty hopeful about this next election.
01:37:25.340 I don't think people are going to vote for a guy that's angry and extremist and divisive and is very anti-Semitic.
01:37:33.380 I just don't believe they're going to do that.
01:37:35.220 They're going to vote for the guy that's actually going to get us building things, get our kids raiding again,
01:37:39.620 get people tools that they need to buy their first home, get that home down to about 28 when it was when I was growing up.
01:37:49.100 So I think there's a lot to be optimistic about.
01:37:51.540 But I'll tell you what, the other team, the Democrat Socialists of America, they're here.
01:37:57.480 They think this is their battleground.
01:37:59.680 They're going to try to place a stake in the ground here.
01:38:02.820 So we're going to need everybody, everyone listening to Justin today.
01:38:08.520 Go to RogersForSenate.com.
01:38:10.540 There is absolutely, we're going to need your help.
01:38:13.460 This is the place where you stand up for America in this seat and this race.
01:38:18.180 And man, we sure could use your help.
01:38:20.500 Yeah, folks all over the country have taken certainly an eye,
01:38:25.680 a look at this race and an interest in it because of those things that you mentioned.
01:38:30.240 And by the way, these issues that we're facing in Michigan
01:38:32.780 are issues that lots of folks are facing throughout the country.
01:38:35.780 And one of the things I'm glad to hear you talk about,
01:38:38.120 and that answer is how do you talk to these people?
01:38:40.640 Because, you know, a lot of these people that are getting swayed
01:38:44.120 by some of the socialist arguments,
01:38:46.340 uh the i think some of sometimes we have a tendency to miss because uh we we maybe we miss
01:38:53.280 how good things have been and and you know those those folks are growing up they they really do
01:38:58.060 have you know there are some issues that they're facing but again they were created by democrats
01:39:02.880 and they have solutions and the solutions are common sense they can be done but they do feel
01:39:10.940 hopeless and helpless they've been made to feel that way yeah well completely and everyone tells
01:39:16.280 and, you know, the whole idea of this new DSA movement is everyone's a victim.
01:39:22.220 You can't do anything about it.
01:39:24.220 You're a victim.
01:39:25.500 I just don't believe that.
01:39:26.760 This is still the greatest country on the face of the earth,
01:39:28.800 and we've got some challenges we've got to get through.
01:39:31.700 We need to get prices down.
01:39:33.480 That's going to take some time.
01:39:34.860 When you dump that much money under the Biden administration into the economy,
01:39:39.640 you make it harder to build things, more expensive to turn your lights on.
01:39:44.300 Guess what?
01:39:44.660 It takes time to unwind that.
01:39:47.580 And I think, you know, our fast food society, I think people wanted it and expected it would be done overnight.
01:39:52.400 It's going to take a little time.
01:39:54.040 But the good news is there is big plans and things happening in D.C.
01:39:59.200 And then when I'm going to get there to help, make sure we get those energy prices down, make sure that we face this growing age of first-time homebuyers, which is just tragic, I think.
01:40:12.180 That's one way in America you can build wealth, is buy that house and pay it off over time.
01:40:16.420 That is the best wealth builder somebody can have in America.
01:40:20.460 And we've taken it away for so many people through regulations,
01:40:24.380 hotting it about those high costs, making it damn near impossible to save for a down payment.
01:40:30.760 Well, guess what? All the Democrats are trying to do is take more money out of your paycheck. 0.99
01:40:36.120 This whole Medicare for All sounds wonderful.
01:40:37.800 I saw, on average, $10,000 in new taxes per family.
01:40:42.800 Oh, and by the way, you still have an increase in your payroll tax.
01:40:46.920 I mean, this thing is dangerous for your economic well-being.
01:40:52.160 And we're going to take 70 million people covered by Medicare,
01:40:55.380 and now all of a sudden 340 million people are going to get covered,
01:40:58.800 and it's going to be magic.
01:41:00.620 Everything will be great.
01:41:02.560 We all know what a disaster that's going to be.
01:41:05.320 And so we're going to talk about his issues.
01:41:07.340 They're wrong for the state and for the country. 0.99
01:41:10.160 Certainly his standing on, you know, him wanting to go and represent Palestine. 0.98
01:41:14.820 I'm going to definitely be representing the people of Michigan. 0.80
01:41:17.960 He's wrong there.
01:41:19.200 He's just wrong for the state.
01:41:20.840 He's too extreme.
01:41:21.780 He's dangerous.
01:41:22.960 And this is our opportunity to put a stake in the heart of the DSA here in the country.
01:41:28.100 Rogers for Michigan is the website.
01:41:31.480 Rogersforsenate.com, rather, is the website.
01:41:34.060 And again, former Congressman Mike Rogers, always a pleasure.

01:43:02.540 well the public health he's part of the fauci crew in fact did you know that
01:43:10.200 he's actually
01:43:12.340 and I've got update on Fauci coming up
01:43:14.540 here in a second he was part of that whole
01:43:16.480 cruel
01:43:17.320 and so he's again this is another
01:43:20.060 indefensible
01:43:20.820 how do you wrap your head around this one
01:43:23.760 the guys out there
01:43:26.500 backing up Fauci
01:43:27.980 even in 2026
01:43:29.900 and he has
01:43:32.500 his own
01:43:33.220 was it Beagles too he has his own
01:43:36.460 dog
01:43:37.120 This thing is just crazy
01:43:42.320 Again, how many dogs were killed under this guy
01:43:44.360 In Detroit
01:43:45.940 As he was the head of the Wayne
01:43:47.720 County Health Department
01:43:49.900 Fascinating stuff
01:43:51.960 Again, it is all
01:43:54.260 It is all part of the
01:43:57.160 The story that folks
01:43:59.680 A lot of folks aren't hearing
01:44:01.140 But Democrat Senate nominee
01:44:03.780 Abdul El-Sayed reportedly oversaw the euthanasia
01:44:06.680 of over 4,600 cats and dogs during his time
01:44:10.820 at the executive director there,
01:44:13.020 the health officer for the Detroit Health Department.
01:44:16.760 A former animal control officer
01:44:19.480 describing the department's shelter as a, quote,
01:44:21.920 slaughterhouse.
01:44:24.180 And again, if that's going to treat Fido,
01:44:28.000 you just imagine, how is this guy going to treat you
01:44:31.260 once he gets you into the health system that he wants to create.
01:44:38.000 Imagine that.
01:44:38.700 Just want to think about what this looks like.
01:44:42.220 Remember last time you went to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles?
01:44:48.880 That's what it's going to look like when you go to your doctor.
01:44:51.340 Again, Obamacare, the Democrats caused all this mess.
01:44:56.240 the arsonists now posing as firefighters and they've got a plan for it all sure they do
01:45:02.940 barclay in for back today back with more on the glenbeck program after this

01:46:23.240 Well, according to Grok,
01:46:45.400 somebody asked on the, on X,
01:46:47.300 by the way,
01:46:47.680 at Mr. Justin Barclay or an X,
01:46:49.360 and you can find me Justin at JustinBarclay.com.
01:46:53.240 I'm on to the email, but did Feng Feng really work for Repro Khanna was the question?
01:46:59.240 And I asked Grok, by the way, Feng Feng's back in the news today.
01:47:03.800 We talked about it earlier.
01:47:07.640 Grok gave an interesting answer to all of this, and I think it's worth considering.
01:47:14.760 Grok says apparently there was some volunteer work, and in fact, we'll give you a full answer.
01:47:22.700 They can take this with a grain of salt.
01:47:24.200 But Feng Feng back in the news, Swalwell in trouble.
01:47:27.640 Per the 2020 Axios investigation, Christine Feng, Feng Feng,
01:47:32.600 volunteered for Ro Khanna's unsuccessful 2014 House campaign.
01:47:37.380 Per a former campus organizer and social media post,
01:47:41.800 Khanna's office said he saw her at some Indian-American events
01:47:45.140 but had no further contact.
01:47:47.080 The FBI did not brief him.
01:47:48.220 campaign staff said her her name does not appear in staff records though not all volunteers are
01:47:53.760 listed no evidence of formal employment or paid role she left the u.s in 2015 and we we essentially
01:48:01.800 know uh she met her untimely demise again that she was on that plane accident which which is uh
01:48:08.700 sad but the the reason we bring this up is to breaking news earlier today that uh that came out
01:48:14.140 And just the news reporting, apparently, she and Swalwell had some.
01:48:21.500 It is now declassified, so we're allowed to say that there was some bang bang with fang fang.
01:48:27.000 Now, that's not exactly how they put it.
01:48:31.260 But as we mentioned, as a matter of fact, now's probably a good time.
01:48:35.780 I completely forgot we had this.
01:48:39.200 Producer BJ suggested it.
01:48:41.100 Let's play the hits.
01:48:42.080 this is an oldie but a goodie bj it's our favorite for fang fang don't bang bang
01:49:05.280 the files are out there uh and boy are they juicy
01:49:12.080 It's, yeah, yeah, it's pretty bad.
01:49:42.080 So bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
01:49:49.000 Swalwell don't want the files to drop because he went bang, bang with bang, bang, bang, bang.
01:49:55.880 Hey, don't bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
01:49:59.460 Oh, it's an oldie but a goodie.
01:50:01.360 And it's just in time.
01:50:04.200 And again, all of this was uncovered in those documents coming out today, declassified.
01:50:11.380 The FBI had evidence the Chinese woman with direct ties to the country's intelligence service had potentially compromised a Democratic congressman from California with sex, foreign interns, and illicit donations while she was being recruited to become a bureau informant a decade ago, according to the bombshell memos that expose another threat to America's political system from Beijing.
01:50:38.860 Again, it's just the news. 0.77
01:50:41.740 And, you know, yeah, we laughed about it.
01:50:44.560 We had a little bit of fun with that.
01:50:46.860 But, again, the problem here is the fact that these folks and many of them, 0.71
01:50:54.720 I don't know how many, it's easy to say, well, they're all crooked.
01:50:58.420 It's easy to say that, but I don't know.
01:50:59.920 That's not the case.
01:51:00.740 I know that there are a few that are good.
01:51:03.740 I still like to believe that.
01:51:05.940 But we know that this is happening.
01:51:07.400 Why do we know that it's a same way we know that election issues of fraud is we did because it's everywhere.
01:51:15.340 Why? Human nature. And if there is no accountability, we'd actually don't lock some of these people up.
01:51:24.240 Then it'll just continue to happen. The payoff's too good.
01:51:29.380 And the consequences just aren't, they just aren't, well, they're non-existent in some cases, which is horrible, but they just aren't, they're not stiff enough.
01:51:40.520 Well, that's probably not, never mind.
01:51:42.140 I've got to get away from this story.
01:51:43.940 Let me shift quickly, if I can, to Fauci, because he's in the news too.
01:51:51.780 And this particular story, in fact, brings us right into the intelligence issues with China.
01:52:02.920 Same sort of scenario, the same thing we're dealing with.
01:52:07.000 They're always looking to do something.
01:52:12.580 Take us down, whatever it might be.
01:52:15.920 And we still, again, there's another one.
01:52:17.600 We've yet to see any real accountability.
01:52:21.480 Now, I will say this, and this is good news over the weekend.
01:52:26.800 Attorney General Todd Blanche is saying, look, we've got it.
01:52:29.480 They've made the, Senator Rand Paul made that, and that committee made that referral for the criminal contempt in the case there.
01:52:45.120 They've got it.
01:52:46.520 Listen to his answer.
01:52:47.600 about what happens next from the committee and and we're we're handling that case like as every
01:52:52.040 every american should expect which is where we're looking at it and we're going to do everything we
01:52:56.060 can if it needs an investigation and it should be investigated we will we will absolutely do that
01:53:01.220 we can't obviously comment i know you're not asking me to on on ongoing investigations but
01:53:05.920 but yes we did get the referral from from the senate lock him up lock him up fauci you know
01:53:14.600 why this is again it's another day and we've got more in fact here's uh abdul al-sayed trying to
01:53:21.540 defend again to tell you who the guy is trying to defend fauci so the idea that you are going to
01:53:27.420 you're going to pursue dr fauci over this witch hunt when it was donald trump who did operation
01:53:35.540 warp speed in fact it's like one of the few things that he did in his first administration i was like
01:53:39.160 good job man like slow clap you out of the room yeah except for he's trying to distance himself
01:53:42.800 out of it and under his second administration
01:53:44.560 he's trying to prosecute another elderly
01:53:47.000 man for the thing that he made
01:53:48.900 possible which is the vaccines
01:53:50.400 Fauci lied people died
01:53:52.260 I know that he may not have a problem
01:53:54.440 but it is
01:53:56.740 in fact
01:53:57.500 the truth
01:53:59.220 yeah
01:54:02.480 I just got a text, this is great Bob
01:54:04.380 Bob just texted me
01:54:05.780 from our affiliate
01:54:08.600 910 AM the Superstation
01:54:11.040 and Detroit, don't forget to get your boosters.
01:54:13.560 And I don't know, listen, whether you
01:54:15.100 did for a cheeseburger or a donut or
01:54:17.060 see, you know, in Michigan they had lottery tickets that you
01:54:19.100 could get. Well, it said
01:54:21.060 it wasn't a lottery ticket, but it was you were
01:54:22.640 entered into the lottery.
01:54:25.020 I think they gave, well, it was like a quarter
01:54:26.920 of a million dollars. They gave away some decent money.
01:54:31.040 This has now become a
01:54:33.120 you know, sort of a big deal
01:54:34.840 and
01:54:35.540 at the time, you know, people just
01:54:39.200 you know, it was like
01:54:40.920 every day nothing nothing to see here how about this formerly of abc i believe uh terry moran
01:54:49.060 on fauci's involvement in shutting down the lab leak story oh and i remember this one too because
01:54:57.320 i remember this was one that we got canceled i think it may have been youtube or someone of us
01:55:02.060 we were we were taken down at the time my my uh my little program my little stream they're taken
01:55:08.740 down because they're just sharing the stories any story that you shared about if it wasn't uh
01:55:14.720 if it didn't completely line up with the full official narrative oh boy you were
01:55:22.320 you were you were censored immediately if not sooner so shortly after it's covet
01:55:28.180 even abc news as you'll hear so it was like uh early in 2021 maybe january february i'm seeing
01:55:37.420 online and elsewhere people that i thought were smart and serious jamie menzel mostly saying uh
01:55:46.300 and i don't and others maybe this leaked from the lab and i was like well that's interesting so i
01:55:52.160 went to nightline i said hey you know i'd like to do a story on and they were like great yeah let's
01:55:56.500 do it so we we just across the board we we talked to you know molecular virologists we talked to
01:56:04.220 people in the Trump administration, who had been in the Trump administration, broke a little news
01:56:09.240 that that lab had been funded by the Chinese military, despite the bad lady saying, no, it
01:56:14.720 hadn't. And that came from the security, a tip from inside one of the three-letter agencies in
01:56:22.240 the government. And we kind of laid it out. And at the end of the day, my own personal feeling was,
01:56:27.420 you know, talking to everybody, I thought it's probably a little bit more likely it's natural,
01:56:32.740 But if you told me it had leaked from the lab, fine.
01:56:35.020 And it's probably not cooked up.
01:56:36.700 It's probably not a frankenvirus.
01:56:38.020 But I didn't reach that conclusion.
01:56:39.920 I just laid it out.
01:56:41.140 And we're ready to go.
01:56:42.400 And the day that it's supposed to air, it gets reviewed.
01:56:46.700 And it comes back to me.
01:56:48.500 And it is incomprehensible.
01:56:51.840 And I had never been angry.
01:56:55.040 I'm in the booth.
01:56:56.260 These lawyers?
01:56:57.700 Lawyer standards.
01:56:58.540 and i was told fauci oh and i said i can't do this and they're going to air and they you know
01:57:10.700 it's a 15 minute piece or whatever and i'm cursing and screaming in the in the booth
01:57:16.380 you know what's interesting to me as i watch this is from a show called i guess fifth column
01:57:20.480 it's uh it's been shared around over on x quite a bit but uh almost shock and one of the guys
01:57:27.320 kind of shocked on one hand
01:57:30.320 and the other guy, no, no, I know.
01:57:33.200 I knew this.
01:57:34.740 It's, again,
01:57:36.420 if you listen to this program,
01:57:41.080 you probably,
01:57:42.300 this is not shocking to you at all.
01:57:44.100 You saw this coming a mile away.
01:57:48.960 Yet there are people,
01:57:50.540 and this has been interesting to watch,
01:57:52.260 particularly lately,
01:57:53.440 with a lot of things.
01:57:54.640 It shows you how psyoped we've been
01:57:56.980 all of us really the brains have been broken so much that two people can look at the very same
01:58:02.420 thing and see completely different scenarios it's just fascinating to watch and the things
01:58:12.680 that unite us are fewer and further between which is just a shame it is an absolute tragedy
01:58:21.920 but it is part of everything that we've been facing everything that we've endured over the last
01:58:29.700 recent years is there any hope that we can bring it back together i got one story that you would
01:58:36.100 think maybe maybe might help us hopefully we could look at this story it's good news
01:58:42.660 it's it's a miracle it's a hero in action at least i'd say one that will be honored today
01:58:49.780 This hero should be honored, ought to be honored.
01:58:54.520 But the question is, is after being honored,
01:58:58.900 will the hero still be considered a hero
01:59:01.040 because of what is yet to take place today at the White House?
01:59:06.280 I'll explain coming up after this.
01:59:09.160 Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:59:12.580 Back next.

01:59:16.880 We want connection.
01:59:19.780 there's a big difference. Glenn Beck will be back after this.

02:00:45.060 Here it is, the moment that a hero stepped in, a lifeguard.
02:00:56.140 Of course, you can't see it, but his name is Ryder Williams.
02:01:02.440 You can hear in the background what took place that day,
02:01:06.880 stepping up to save the life of a drowning swimmer.
02:01:10.480 And he will today be awarded with the High Civilian Honor, the president says over on True Social, bringing this, I believe it was a young man that he brought in to safety.
02:01:27.060 What a fantastic moment.
02:01:31.320 What an absolutely incredible moment.
02:01:33.560 A moment that should, you would think, bring us all together.
02:01:36.680 You would think.
02:01:37.400 But there are some of us
02:01:40.720 That are so, the brains are so broken 0.93
02:01:43.200 The Trump derangement syndrome and everything 0.96
02:01:45.360 Is so far
02:01:46.540 Split us off of our
02:01:48.600 Center that we
02:01:50.580 There will be some that
02:01:52.700 Well, they may have an issue with this
02:01:55.100 I mentioned this earlier
02:01:58.760 What brings us
02:02:02.020 What can bring us back
02:02:03.620 There's so many things that are tearing us apart these days
02:02:06.220 What can bring us back together?
02:02:10.800 It is something to think about.
02:02:12.280 It is something to pray about.
02:02:13.620 And maybe we have opportunities.
02:02:15.600 You know, maybe there's moments that we can come together,
02:02:20.880 we can think that we can do in our everyday lives to reach out to one another.
02:02:26.540 Well, I know, by the way, getting off social media is one of them.
02:02:31.400 Because social media, I don't know if you know this, is not real life.
02:02:36.220 It's not real life. 0.99
02:02:40.620 Your crazy aunt or uncle or whoever that you disagree with, 0.95
02:02:45.440 chances are you can have some more, I think, level-headed conversations with 0.97
02:02:56.340 when you're looking to find things you can agree with.
02:02:59.740 And as Americans, maybe we need to do more of that.
02:03:06.220 And as Americans, maybe we can find those opportunities.
02:03:16.200 Someone here on the email says 9-11 was the last time this country was together.
02:03:22.880 Well, 9-12.
02:03:26.580 And it's an interesting thought about how we march to bring it back together.
02:03:31.520 It's something we ought to work on doing each and every day.
02:03:33.840 I think a lot of us are closer than what social media wants us to believe.
02:03:39.160 I'll tell you that much.
