00:00:30.000 As we celebrate America's 250th birthday this year, I'd like to ask you a question.

00:00:33.680 How much of the beef on America's grills actually come from America?

00:00:38.520 The answer is probably going to surprise you.

00:00:40.640 More than 85% of the grass-fed beef sold in grocery stores is not from America.

00:00:46.260 That's not good.

00:00:48.120 One of the reasons I like good ranchers is because of that number.

00:00:50.960 They partner with local farmers and ranchers to deliver 100% American meat straight to your door.

00:00:56.140 No imported mystery meat, just high-quality American beef, chicken, pork, and seafood raised right here.

00:01:03.760 I love what they're doing, bridging the gap between American families and American farms.

00:03:04.980 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:10.200 From Los Angeles, California.

00:03:14.380 Hello and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:17.420 Oh, man.

00:03:18.560 Are these guys in Washington just amazing?

00:03:22.620 Do you not get up every day and go, what are they going to fix next?

00:03:26.100 What could the House and the Senate possibly do to be better than they were yesterday?

00:03:31.820 Because yesterday they were so great.

00:03:34.300 I don't know how they top this.

00:03:36.280 We're getting into that in 60 seconds.

00:03:38.300 First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:03:43.460 Our sponsor, if I can find it, is Relief Factor.

00:03:46.820 You know, there are people who say that, you know, my paintings are the greatest paintings in the art world.

00:03:55.860 They're mainly about three years old, but they're so, so very right.

00:04:02.660 Think if you haven't been able to, you know, do what you love.

00:04:07.920 Because I paint and I absolutely love painting.

00:04:11.900 And I wasn't able to do it for a long time because my hands were in so much pain.

00:04:15.820 and I could not hold a paintbrush.

00:04:17.880 I couldn't hold a pen.

00:04:18.980 And, you know, I don't, I'm sorry, I just don't like electronics.

00:04:23.260 I like still paper and pencil, and I still like to be able to paint.

00:04:28.780 And if your hands are in pain like mine were,

00:04:32.160 you would do anything to get it back.

00:04:34.400 I don't know what hurts on you,

00:04:35.780 but I guarantee you there is something that hurts on you.

00:04:39.160 And the one thing that is artistry with the body is relief factor.

00:04:44.640 It belongs in the Louvre, quite honestly.

00:04:46.820 Relieffactor.com, relieffactor.com.

00:04:49.440 You want to get out of pain?

00:04:50.520 Just try it, 1776, for a three-week quick start.

00:04:53.640 It's 1-800-4-RELIEF, 1-800-4-RELIEF.

00:04:59.300 Oh, my gosh.

00:05:01.240 Oh, yesterday.

00:05:03.960 I mean, I feel like we need a marching band.

00:05:06.260 What they did yesterday in the house is remarkable.

00:05:14.100 They haven't gotten to the pizza crust bill yet, but they're going to.

00:05:22.540 Don't panic.

00:05:23.200 Don't panic, everybody.

00:05:24.060 I know everybody on the planet is saying, jeez, what if we could get somebody to work on pizza crust?

00:05:28.640 But they didn't get there yet.

00:05:31.120 What they did do yesterday, man.

00:05:36.080 You know that whole fall back, spring ahead thing?

00:05:40.600 You may not have to.

00:05:41.740 I don't know.

00:05:42.620 Watch my language carefully.

00:05:44.100 You may not have to worry about that anymore.

00:05:47.160 Did I say you don't have to worry about that anymore?

00:05:50.100 No, no, I didn't say that.

00:05:52.000 I said you may not.

00:05:53.360 You know what I said?

00:05:54.040 You may not because the Senate is probably not going to pass this worthless piece of crap.

00:06:02.640 So the House, oh man, I just, I just love, I just love our Speaker of the House.

00:06:11.120 i love the non-speaker of the house i i i i love the the house protocol guy uh i like all the house

00:06:22.160 members i like the houses that the house members live in i just love them so much because did they

00:06:29.760 take care of you know anything to do with voting no no no no no well they did compromise

00:06:40.860 on that. Yeah. Yeah. You know, there were a few that were standing up and they were like,

00:06:48.120 there's not going to happen. We're going to shut down everything in the house until they pass the

00:06:54.820 Save America Act. But our great speaker of the house, and I don't know who else was involved,

00:07:01.520 but they all got together and they said, wait a minute, wait a minute, let's compromise.

00:07:06.160 Let's, let's just throw that into something else that the Senate's not going to pass.

00:07:10.860 And then we can spend the day fixing daylight savings time.

00:07:17.600 Is there anything better?

00:07:18.980 They rang the bell, voter ID, maybe after hell.

00:07:27.200 All right.

00:07:32.240 All right.

00:07:33.140 Man.

00:07:34.860 I need a marching band all the time for them.

00:07:38.640 Seriously.

00:07:39.280 because every time they do something it's like i need a marching band because they have

00:07:45.800 accomplished some let me just go over some of the accomplishments that have happened

00:07:49.280 in the house and the senate uh in the last two years they have um

00:07:54.120 they have uh

00:07:58.680 okay i can't think of anything that they've actually done but i know they've done something

00:08:11.240 and maybe next time now i can't promise this is going to happen before the election

00:08:17.620 but can you imagine the magic if they could actually name a post office at

00:08:26.000 But this session, I mean, before we all go to vote, if they could name a post office, I'd be like, wow, I've got to vote for these guys.

00:08:35.960 Why? You're not with the Republicans?

00:08:38.520 Did you hear what they just did?

00:08:40.400 Daylight savings time.

00:08:41.820 Of course, the Senate didn't do it.

00:08:43.700 But the House, they had the courage to say, no, we're not going to spring ahead or fall back.

00:08:50.040 None of that stuff.

00:08:50.860 But they had that courage, and then they went, and they went all the way to the wall to name a post office.

00:08:59.660 Whoa.

00:09:06.600 But at least, at least I have the satisfaction of hearing that while I'm in California.

00:09:14.300 And being in California, when you hear about the spring-ahead fall-back daylight savings time bill, you think to yourself, I got it made.

00:09:25.260 I got it made.

00:09:31.220 So let's see what else is happening.

00:09:33.740 By the way, can we get Anna Luna Paulina on with us?

00:09:38.240 I'd like to talk to her.

00:09:39.180 I know we've reached out to her office.

00:09:40.780 I just want to know what happened here.

00:09:42.940 What happened?

00:09:44.300 because, I mean, I really like her, and I trust her.

00:09:49.060 And, you know, she was like, we're not going to move anything.

00:09:51.600 And I didn't, nobody saw the daylight savings time coming.

00:09:55.820 Nobody saw that one coming.

00:09:57.220 I didn't even know that was in the lineup.

00:09:58.940 Had I known that was in the lineup, I would have said,

00:10:01.000 Anna, you're not going to hold up the daylight savings time thing, are you?

00:10:08.580 And she would have, of course, said, no, no, no, no, no.

00:10:11.380 I don't mean the daylight savings time thing.

00:10:13.140 i just mean all the other stuff we can't it's it's you know when you're doing triage on the

00:10:19.200 country you're like okay you're hemorrhaging to death here you're hemorrhaging to death here

00:10:23.540 you've got communists over here and you're hemorrhaging over here what do you want to

00:10:29.880 tackle first i don't know daylight savings time yeah yeah yeah so they took the uh

00:10:38.340 They took the Save America Act, and they've decided in the House that what they're going to do is they're going to tuck it into another bill, a must-pass bill.

00:10:52.420 The Senate will never see this coming.

00:10:55.740 Shh, keep it to yourself.

00:10:58.280 So they're going to put it in another bill that they have to pass.

00:11:03.440 And if we all keep it to ourself, they're not going to pull that part of the bill out, okay?

00:11:12.580 They won't do it.

00:11:13.740 They won't do it because they won't know because you don't know.

00:11:17.920 I didn't know.

00:11:18.820 Did you know about the daylight savings time thing?

00:11:20.920 I didn't even know that was even a possibility.

00:11:22.880 And boom, like magic, they passed that.

00:11:27.660 So what they're going to do is they're going to put it in there.

00:11:31.340 And then the senators will all vote to pass it because it's a must pass.

00:11:35.400 And then we'll go, ha ha, caught you.

00:11:38.200 You just passed the Save America voter ID bill.

00:11:41.900 And they'll say, what?

00:11:42.980 This is an outrage.

00:11:44.300 What happened?

00:11:45.240 How did that thing happen?

00:11:46.900 And then we'll all laugh.

00:11:48.800 And Thune will be there like, ha ha, ha ha, I was on your side the whole time.

00:11:54.160 or it will just go to the Senate

00:11:59.320 and Thune and his cronies will pull it out.

00:12:02.940 They'll pass the must-pass bill without any of that

00:12:07.060 and then we'll have the satisfaction of being able to stand there and go,

00:12:11.160 see, it was Thune that did it.

00:12:14.500 Oh, man, that's going to feel so good.

00:12:20.660 They're going to follow it up with naming a post office.

00:12:23.660 I'm telling you, that's the plan.

00:12:26.460 That's the plan.

00:12:29.540 Republicans, I don't know why you're losing.

00:12:32.500 I really don't.

00:12:33.760 I don't know why.

00:12:34.760 I don't know why.

00:12:35.620 Almost every single Republican I know, like, I can't vote for these people anymore.

00:12:39.740 I don't know why that's happening.

00:12:41.920 You respond to the people.

00:12:44.020 You really do.

00:12:45.560 It's so satisfying.

00:12:48.040 When I heard the daylight savings time, honestly, I turned the lights down,

00:12:52.440 and I lit a candle because it was like conservative porn.

00:12:56.320 I'm like, oh, man, we could balance the budget.

00:12:58.660 We could do so many things, but the daylight savings time?

00:13:02.940 Oh, yeah.

00:13:04.500 I'm not going to have to spring forward or fall back.

00:13:10.140 Man.

00:13:13.220 I got a date with myself and that bill on Friday.

00:13:17.600 That's a hot date, I'll tell you that.

00:13:19.980 Okay, let's move on here and talk to you a little bit about our sponsor.

00:13:23.320 It's Patriot Mobile.

00:13:27.560 If you don't think like the shark's circling, all you have to do is wait.

00:13:36.040 And then you'll see, like, oh, the sharks are circling.

00:13:39.660 Unless you're a Republican.

00:13:41.180 And then you're like, what sharks?

00:13:42.840 anyway um look what's going on in places like new york city it's not going to affect me where i live

00:13:52.880 i promise you it will america very well may be flipping the page to our most dangerous chapter

00:14:00.000 yet and that means that those of us who want to preserve her have got to stick together and that's

00:14:05.840 why i'm i'm right there with the house on that daylight saving man do you think the senate is

00:14:11.280 gonna scum that up oh maybe they could pass a flag burning act wouldn't that be great we'd all rally

00:14:19.820 around that hey you can't burn the american love it or leave it these colors don't run man we could

00:14:27.260 say all of those bumper stickers and feel so good anyway this is what the parallel economy is all

00:14:32.980 about and the main reason i love patriot mobile so much is because they are leading in the parallel

00:14:37.640 economy. So many other companies use our dollars to advance causes that we don't believe in. But

00:14:42.360 Patriot Mobile makes it different. I mean, they take a totally different approach. They deliver

00:14:46.880 reliable wireless service on all three major networks. Look, everybody's using the same cell

00:14:51.300 towers. Everybody's using them. So why don't you go to Patriot Mobile? Instead of paying all of that

00:14:58.000 money to one of those carriers, you go to Patriot Mobile. Now, I have to pay some of that money to

00:15:03.840 Those towers, because everybody's on them.

00:15:05.840 But I'm not paying, I'm not giving them all my money.

00:15:07.800 I'm not doing it.

00:15:09.920 Only would I absolutely have to.

00:15:11.820 I'm going to give my money to somebody like Patriot Mobile, who actually, you know what,

00:15:15.440 Patriot Mobile, we're in the House and the Senate, you know what would have been passed by now?

00:15:19.400 The Save America Act!

00:15:22.060 But I digress.

00:15:24.280 Anyway, you can keep your phone, keep your number, or get new ones.

00:15:27.560 It's up to you.

00:15:28.200 Their U.S.-based team makes switching really super easy, and they also put their money where their mouth is.

00:15:33.460 They donate millions of dollars to organizations that defend faith, family, and freedom,

00:15:37.700 and the constitutional principles that made this country exceptional.

00:15:41.920 I can't wait until I get to tell you about what the Democratic Socialists want to do.

00:15:46.500 Yeah, they want to disband the Senate.

00:15:51.540 I might be with them today.

00:15:53.560 No, I'm not. I'm not.

00:16:08.980 10 seconds, Station ID.

00:16:22.360 Just in from Washington, D.C.

00:16:24.820 Looks like the House Speaker is now considering bringing to the floor

00:16:29.920 the renaming of the hot

00:16:31.940 dog bun.

00:16:34.020 So we'll have that done

00:16:35.440 as well very, very soon.

00:16:37.900 Very soon.

00:16:39.540 Gosh, they are just, they're so super good

00:16:41.780 at strategy. The way they

00:16:43.720 strategize.

00:16:46.940 I mean, it's almost

00:16:47.860 got me fooled, you know. For a while

00:16:49.780 there, I thought they were to do nothing. I thought

00:16:51.600 for a minute there,

00:16:53.000 Congress is worthless. They're not doing anything.

00:16:56.240 They're not. And then

00:16:57.640 daylight savings time. And now

00:16:59.700 they're thinking about renaming the hot dog bun.

00:17:02.480 So they're on it.

00:19:19.840 Abraham Lincoln when he was first elected

00:19:22.120 president. Listen to this.

00:19:24.220 With a flourish, Ferrandini, his eyes blazing, holds a long knife over his head and says,

00:19:30.860 Gentlemen, this hireling Lincoln shall never, never be president.

00:19:36.800 The room erupts in lusty cheers. Ferrandini continues.

00:19:43.160 Who should do the deed? Who should assume the task of liberating the nation of the

00:19:48.520 foul presence of the abolitionist leader?

00:19:51.080 The room grows quiet again.

00:19:54.440 Then, Ferrandini answers his own question.

00:19:58.480 They will each draw a ballot from a box that he's already prepared.

00:20:02.520 Whoever draws the one marked in red is the assassin.

00:20:07.100 But the ballots will remain secret, so no one knows who the assassin is until the final moment.

00:20:13.880 The men take turns stepping forward and pulling a folded slip of paper from the box.

00:20:20.200 Once everyone has a ballot, Ferrandini reaches in and takes the last one.

00:20:26.200 The evening is over.

00:20:28.460 The plan is set in motion.

00:20:31.640 On their way to the saloon, Davis and Hilliard open their ballots.

00:20:35.740 Davis' ballot is blank.

00:20:37.800 His face fails to hide the disappointment.

00:20:40.900 But Hilliard tells him not to worry.

00:20:43.540 He explains that Ferrandini put eight ballots marked in red

00:20:47.080 to ensure that no matter what, at least one man would pull the trigger.

00:20:52.520 Later, Davis bids Hillard goodnight, and they go their separate ways,

00:20:56.780 and Hillard goes to his home and Davis to a large office building on South Street.

00:21:01.680 It was a strange destination for such a late hour,

00:21:04.600 but Davis was desperate to speak with a man he knew would be there.

00:21:08.780 His boss, a detective named Alan Pinkerton.

00:21:13.120 You see, Harry Davis was not a Southern revolutionary.

00:21:18.640 He was an undercover agent with the Pinkerton National Detective Agency.

00:21:24.120 It's just a remarkable story.

00:21:27.580 You've never heard the American story told this way.

00:21:31.080 All audio and storytelling at its best, thanks to my staff.

00:21:35.600 It's the American story available now, uh, at glennbeck.com slash torch.

00:21:40.740 Um, episodes 16 through 20 are now up and I'm tonight.

00:21:45.260 I can't tell you where, and I can, there's nobody.

00:21:46.960 I mean, we have a very small number of people that are allowed to come in

00:21:50.660 because it's just a quick little get together.

00:21:52.160 But the insiders were holding a, uh, kind of a get together, uh, today in

00:21:56.620 California and I'm stopping by to say hi to them.

00:21:58.800 Another kind of perk to be a torch member.

00:22:01.680 And I cannot wait to meet you, uh, if you're in California today.

00:22:05.600 okay what else do i need to do here could go to mom donnie i gotta hit the socialist

00:22:11.560 democratic socialist the insanity on that one did i tell you about daylight savings time did i i hate

00:22:18.720 to bring this up again but i'm just so excited about it they passed that um oh how about that

00:22:24.360 how about this one uh jennifer welsh um jennifer welsh podcaster really brilliant person uh she 0.95

00:22:34.920 has gone on a rant about homeschoolers 1.00

00:22:37.280 and she said they're just the dumbest 0.85

00:22:38.920 people anywhere. They're just

00:22:40.940 dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.

00:22:43.340 And boy, you couldn't be more

00:22:44.820 right, Jennifer.

00:22:46.820 In fact, what I'd like

00:22:48.820 to do, because I want you to be able

00:22:50.880 to prove this point, because I'm so sick of

00:22:52.760 homeschoolers. This is between you and me, Jennifer.

00:22:55.160 I am so sick of homeschoolers

00:22:56.840 because, first of all, they're weirdos.

00:22:59.140 You know, like they

00:22:59.720 don't believe that

00:23:02.860 there are 90

00:23:04.100 you know different uh genders uh so they're weirdos no blue hair and uh and they actually

00:23:11.560 believe in the constitution but anyway uh what i'd like to do is i'd like to challenge you

00:23:16.560 uh jennifer uh and i know who's gonna win on this believe me you have nothing to worry about

00:23:21.700 to debate on this program a 15 year old high schooler that's only been homeschooled

00:23:27.120 uh and i just i just want to see because you're right you're right they are so stupid they are

00:23:32.100 so stupid you know you'll be able to clean their clock and you can do it with such grace so you

00:23:36.640 don't humiliate them uh but please jennifer welsh i challenge you to debate somebody in this audience

00:23:43.340 that is 15 years old and a homeschooled kid uh you go ahead let's let's debate oh it'll be fair

00:23:50.220 and it'll be so embarrassing for them jennifer you won't believe it okay you'll make your point

00:23:54.900 let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour uh our sponsor is simply safe you know what

00:23:59.620 burglars hate? Attention. They don't want a confrontation. They don't want somebody watching

00:24:04.000 them. They don't want to be remembered. They want a quiet house, a few minutes alone, and an easy

00:24:08.260 way out. And that's why I think SimpliSafe Active Guard Outdoor Protection is so smart. Somebody

00:24:13.880 starts lurking around your home, they're not just being recorded. Trained agents can actually see

00:24:18.940 what's happening in real time, talk to the person through the camera, and let them know they've been

00:24:23.260 spotted. And if the situation requires it, they can contact the police as well. That changes the

00:24:29.140 entire equation. Most people who are looking for an easy target suddenly realize, uh-oh,

00:24:34.380 we've picked the wrong house. I kind of like that. Speaking of houses, I wonder if there's

00:24:41.380 a burglar alarm on the house in Washington because, well, they won't need it because

00:24:45.140 it will never be dark because of daylight savings time. Anyway, I want you to experience

00:24:49.200 the kind of peace of mind that so many Americans have by getting 50% off your new system by

00:24:54.340 visiting SimpliSafe.com slash Beck. SimpliSafe.com slash Beck. There is no safe like SimpliSafe.

00:25:04.320 The wait is over. All 20 episodes of The American Story are out now for Torch Insiders.

00:25:09.320 See what the buzz is about and join us today at GlennBeck.com slash Torch.

00:25:24.340 uh coming up what the democratic socialists want to do uh and that is they just passed a new uh

00:25:34.880 i don't even know what it is a new to-do list i guess uh and on their to-do list is abolish the

00:25:42.700 u.s senate but that sounds perfectly reasonable i don't know you love america you love america

00:25:47.860 i just want to get rid of its system uh so and believe me there are days that i'd like to abolish

00:25:54.240 the Senate. Today is one of them,

00:25:56.060 which is weird because yesterday was

00:25:58.140 one of them.

00:26:00.600 Come to think of it, Monday was one.

00:26:02.440 Friday was one of them.

00:26:04.000 Last Friday and then Thursday before that.

00:26:06.620 I take weekends off on wanting

00:26:08.060 to abolish the Senate, but

00:26:09.360 anyway,

00:26:12.920 just keep loving America.

00:26:13.820 You socialists, you just keep loving America

00:26:15.820 to death. You know who you are? You love America

00:26:18.080 so much, it's like that person that loves

00:26:20.220 puppy dogs so much

00:26:22.220 they smother them to death.

00:26:23.260 I just love you so much.

00:26:24.760 It's going to squeeze all the life out of you.

00:26:29.040 Let me see.

00:26:29.820 What else makes an awful lot of sense?

00:26:31.200 Oh, could I just do one last thing on Lindsey Graham?

00:26:35.100 Could we please, please, please, please stop wondering what killed Lindsey Graham?

00:26:47.820 You know, he's 71.

00:26:49.800 He was 71, 71, 71.

00:26:53.260 uh and now i mean now we're not sure what killed him and what's strange is

00:27:03.040 we're also not sure what's keeping mitch mcconnell alive uh but i gain hope a lot of hope when i

00:27:13.300 hear that we've been doing this for a very long time you know rush limbaugh used to say in this

00:27:18.820 when i was younger i used to listen to him and go rush we've never been in this situation before

00:27:23.960 and he'd be like my friends we've been in this situation before and i'd be like now we haven't

00:27:31.360 can i tell you something he was right we've been in this situation before we've been in all of them

00:27:36.400 every day i'm thinking about starting a thing on the program just called every day i could do it

00:27:42.880 every day been here before let me give you this one 1850 zachary taylor old rough and ready

00:27:51.300 i don't even know whether the hero of buena vista where's buena vista i didn't know there

00:27:56.880 was something heroic that happened there so he's spending the blazing hot independence day

00:28:02.320 the washington monument which is still just a stump of the thing under construction and he sits

00:28:07.420 in the sun for hours and he comes home and he does what everybody does after sitting in the sun for

00:28:12.220 a long time they eat a bowl of cherries and he drank a pitcher of iced milk five days later he's

00:28:19.860 dead it's the milk that killed him or was it the cherries here's what you need to understand about

00:28:27.020 the moment taylor he was a slaveholder from louisiana and he had turned around and told

00:28:33.320 the south that he's not going to allow slavery into the new western territories and he said he

00:28:37.520 would hang secessionists hang them i'm gonna hang them with the same regret i've had when i was

00:28:44.320 hanging deserters in mexico maybe that's where buena vista is anyway within days of his death

00:28:50.020 people started talking southerners poisoned him did you know that they put arsenic arsenic in the

00:28:57.140 cherries okay that thing went on i've never even heard that before did you zachary taylor was killed

00:29:05.340 by poison cherries had you ever heard of that i never that thing went on and on and on for a

00:29:12.060 hundred and forty one years they would people just would not let that go in 1991

00:29:19.500 we are so crazy as people they actually dug him up to see if the cherries killed him

00:29:29.880 a writer had gotten obsessed with the theory and she was convinced that he was killed by arsenic

00:29:37.400 on the cherries that she convinced the family and convinced the coroner of jefferson county kentucky

00:29:43.380 and on a june morning they opened up the tomb of the president of the united states and took hair

00:29:49.140 and fingernail and bone and sent it to oakridge national laboratory nuclear scientist this this is

00:29:56.980 This is not as good as spending our time on money on abolishing the daylight savings time.

00:30:03.960 I mean, that was spectacular what they did.

00:30:05.960 But we spent money with our nuclear scientists to find out if a guy who died in 1850 was poisoned by chair.

00:30:12.540 Okay, anyway.

00:30:13.700 So they did neutron activation analysis.

00:30:18.380 The best instruments in the human race.

00:30:22.060 And they applied it to the fingernail of the man who died before the Civil War.

00:30:25.660 And the answer came back.

00:30:26.980 no no there was no arsenic in him no i mean you know the level he had arsenic but it was

00:30:36.480 it was normal for the 19th century because arsenic was in the wallpaper and i don't know if people

00:30:41.700 were licking the wallpaper back then but it was in the wallpaper and the medicine and the dirt i

00:30:46.520 mean this is still where they were like you know what i think he needs a little mercury that'll

00:30:50.000 perk him up. So nowhere near the poisoning life. So he, what did he die of? Gastrointestinal

00:30:57.820 illness. Yeah. Yeah. Cause he lived in a city with no sewage system. He was drinking hot

00:31:05.460 milk in July. So they dug him up to check. So here's what this accomplished.

00:31:12.620 i couldn't find what it accomplished i thought maybe that was for you to talk i i'm sorry i

00:31:21.680 left that space for you i thought maybe you knew what that accomplished nothing because the theory

00:31:26.260 is still out there go online you're going to be amazed go online uh was uh was uh was uh the

00:31:32.700 president of the united states uh actually killed uh by uh by arsenic and cherries zachary taylor

00:31:41.860 Look it up. Wait till you see. It's everywhere. It's everywhere.

00:31:48.080 Because the theory wasn't ever about Zachary Taylor.

00:31:51.060 Here's what I want you to see. In 1850, the rumor didn't spread because there was evidence.

00:31:56.540 It spread because Americans had already decided that other Americans were capable of murdering a president over a policy dispute.

00:32:03.700 So the theory wasn't the disease. It was the fever.

00:32:08.180 It was the tell.

00:32:10.280 It was the country announcing out loud what I already believe about people on the other side of the aisle.

00:32:16.920 That they're not opponents anymore.

00:32:19.040 They're murderers.

00:32:21.520 Eleven years later, 600,000 of us were dead.

00:32:24.960 Why?

00:32:27.160 This is where this whole theory kind of falls apart.

00:32:29.120 But I'm tired, okay?

00:32:30.060 And I'm in Los Angeles.

00:32:31.080 Give me a break.

00:32:31.620 why

00:32:35.220 six years later

00:32:38.020 600,000 of us were dead

00:32:39.860 because there were a lot of people on the slave side

00:32:41.820 that were murderers that were really bad

00:32:43.500 but the conspiracy theory came first

00:32:45.920 it always does

00:32:46.660 you have to believe your countrymen

00:32:49.960 are murderers before you can

00:32:51.580 bring yourself to shoot at them

00:32:54.120 did that register with that

00:33:01.300 with you. You have

00:33:03.500 to believe your countrymen are murderers

00:33:05.900 before you can

00:33:07.520 bring yourself to shoot at

00:33:09.360 them.

00:33:15.080 What's happening in our country?

00:33:19.620 Let me take you back to Saturday night.

00:33:21.700 71-year-old man with hardening

00:33:23.580 of the arteries, the most common condition

00:33:25.760 in aging American men,

00:33:27.400 the thing that kills more men than anything

00:33:29.640 else on earth suffers a tear in his aorta that's the preliminary finding of the dc medical examiner

00:33:37.200 not a heart attack a dissection the inner wall of the largest artery in the body split open

00:33:44.400 blood drives into the tear and uh you know you have minutes not hours you have minutes before

00:33:50.700 you're dead it kills healthy looking people in restaurants and airports and church pews

00:33:55.880 probably a few with hookers as well john ritter died of it it's fast it's quiet it doesn't

00:34:01.880 announce itself in advance lucille ball died of this and that's why everybody's like but he looks

00:34:06.760 so well just the other day yeah because that's the way it is the fbi you know sent a bunch of

00:34:13.640 people into his house to investigate and it started everybody i mean what what are we doing

00:34:18.820 what are we doing case is still pending we don't know for sure but you know that should be on the

00:34:25.520 record because i don't want anybody to take anything on faith because there's no faith in

00:34:29.080 anything anymore that's left you have to take everything on evidence now but evidence is a

00:34:34.600 process and the process isn't finished now is it possible the iranians reached into the home

00:34:40.000 in northwest washington and induced an aortic aortic dissection in a u.s senator

00:34:47.580 i guess anything's possible but possible is not a fact possible is not even a claim

00:34:54.120 If you want me to believe a foreign intelligence service murdered a sitting senator on American soil, bring bring me the thing. Bring me a witness, a document, a lab result, a body of any evidence. And that's not me defending the establishment. That's me refusing to let the establishment lower my standards.

00:35:15.160 i mean i understand why the ground is so fertile here i mean we have been lied to about the health

00:35:23.160 of powerful people for years do you remember if you're my age do you remember we used to make fun

00:35:27.940 of the soviet union because their leaders when they would get into office they all looked like

00:35:33.800 joe biden i wish one day i could be as healthy looking as joe biden and then and then they would

00:35:42.480 say for for weeks they would everybody knew he was dead and everybody in russia was like no yet

00:35:48.760 he is fine healthy and then like a month later like yeah he just dropped dead but he was doing

00:35:54.880 it while lifting weights and now he wasn't he was dead weeks ago and we used to make fun of that

00:36:00.740 and now we're sitting here with mitch mcconnell after we all said hey can somebody tell us the

00:36:07.780 truth please it's quite obvious can somebody tell us the truth about joe biden how dare you say that

00:36:15.760 and now now everybody in the gop is having 20 minute conversations with

00:36:21.060 mitch mccano please please i'm holding on by a thread please

00:36:26.900 when the people whose job it is to tell you the truth stop doing it you don't get a nation of

00:36:34.640 skeptics. You don't. You get this nation, a nation that will believe absolutely

00:36:38.600 anything, because when nothing is verified, everything

00:36:42.540 is equally plausible. And that's the most dangerous

00:36:46.540 condition any of us, a free people, a free nation, can live in.

00:36:51.900 But earned distrust

00:36:53.880 is a reason to demand the evidence. It's not a license

00:36:58.560 to invent evidence. It's a license

00:37:02.440 to demand evidence.

00:37:11.360 So let's talk about the thing

00:37:12.700 that is actually in front of us

00:37:14.240 because it's hard enough

00:37:15.320 without ghost stories.

00:37:16.480 The Save America Act

00:37:17.580 needs 60 votes in the Senate.

00:37:19.820 They say, but that's not true.

00:37:21.760 Republicans have 53 seats.

00:37:24.300 Graham's seat was empty.

00:37:26.040 Now his sister.

00:37:26.820 I don't know who his sister is.

00:37:28.180 And by the way, please, please,

00:37:29.660 Democrats, don't talk to me

00:37:30.740 about. This isn't replacing

00:37:32.860 all the systems. Just a bunch of people.

00:37:34.780 One guy decides who's going to sit

00:37:36.680 in that seat. Yes, that's the way

00:37:38.700 the system works. And please don't start

00:37:40.740 with me. Look what you did with Kamala Harris

00:37:42.920 and what you

00:37:44.740 did to Bernie Sanders.

00:37:46.880 Please don't start. Please.

00:37:48.880 Please. It's just, it's

00:37:50.560 tiring.

00:37:52.660 Mitch McConnell now hospitalized

00:37:54.580 for weeks. Hasn't been voting.

00:37:56.520 So the working number now is

00:37:58.540 51. Maybe 52.

00:38:00.740 Is she in yet?

00:38:03.980 In June, the whole conference was present.

00:38:06.460 The bill got 50 votes, a majority, and not one vote more.

00:38:11.120 With Murkowski, Tillis, and McConnell voting, no, 50.

00:38:16.140 That's what's required, not 60, 50.

00:38:20.340 It's never been 60.

00:38:25.960 This is the fight.

00:38:27.120 This is the math.

00:38:29.360 It's grinding.

00:38:30.360 It's unglamorous, and it's in a body designed by men who wanted things to be hard.

00:38:36.840 And that's good.

00:38:38.880 It's supposed to be hard to get things passed in Washington, but not this ridiculously hard.

00:38:46.020 And I'll tell you, what doesn't move a single vote towards 60, telling 40% of the country that the other side kills senators,

00:38:54.300 nobody in the history of the republic has ever been persuaded by a person who has just accused them of murder.

00:38:59.060 this guy's a murderer hey you want to vote my way not gonna happen not gonna happen

00:39:04.960 look at look look look look look what happened yesterday um testimony on the hill you had uh

00:39:15.720 kagan and uh what's her face coney barrett and they're up and they're saying i mean amy coney

00:39:24.340 barrett had a really terrifying story about her son walking in i had this exact experience once

00:41:38.040 most of us think about protecting our home in very physical ways we lock the doors we install

00:41:55.200 the cameras but there's another way that your home can be targeted and it doesn't involve anyone

00:41:59.600 stepping foot in your property it is actually called home title fraud and it's exactly what

00:42:04.300 it sounds like. Criminals forge documents, they file them with the county, they transfer ownership

00:42:09.380 of your home into their name, and then once all that happens, they can attempt to take out loans

00:42:15.040 against your property or even try to sell it out from under you. The scary part is you don't

00:42:19.880 really know much about this as it's going on. Regular homeowner's insurance doesn't typically

00:42:23.920 protect you from this, and the mortgage company isn't looking for it either. That's why you need

00:42:28.680 home title lock. They monitor your home's title and alert you to any changes that could signal

00:42:33.340 fraud. So you're not left discovering it after the fact, which is a big problem. Something

00:42:39.360 suspicious shows up, you can immediately act and you can knock it out quickly. I've partnered with

00:46:28.960 you're here uh new study out shows home prices across the u.s are surging to all-time highs

00:46:34.980 what is causing that now the administration says that's not true they are actually coming down and

00:46:41.560 it's largely due to we are taking people and moving them out of the country we're sending

00:46:46.460 them back home. I don't know which one is true, but let me just, let's take the home prices across

00:46:53.180 the U.S. are surging. Let's take that as true. What is, what's the cause of it? What is happening?

00:46:59.640 Why are more and more people turning to socialism? Because they're saying that is true, and here's

00:47:08.600 the solution. So we have to learn how to speak. We have to learn how to defend capitalism and the

00:47:16.680 free market. And I'm going to try to teach you how you can teach others this hour. And I want

00:47:22.980 to start with a couple of stories that are in the news today, including one from a millennial

00:47:28.980 who has just written a great story. Her name is Emma Camp, and she wrote a great story on

00:47:35.060 x about a vintage refrigerator and i want to get into that and then talk to you about changing the

00:47:40.820 language that we all use otherwise we're going to lose so you want to win stick around we begin

00:47:47.120 in 60 seconds first let me tell you about real estate agents i trust.com the only thing in life

00:47:51.560 that you can't buy is a reputation i can buy a fancy suit i can buy a nice car

00:47:56.440 you know i can buy a really impressive website but i cannot buy a reputation the kind of

00:48:02.200 reputation that is like, oh, if they recommended them, that's

00:48:05.840 a sign they must be good. That takes years. And it's

00:48:10.260 built one relationship, one conversation at a time.

00:48:14.140 One promise kept. One customer who walks away saying, you know what?

00:48:18.140 I'd send my own family to them. That's the standard that I had in mind

00:48:22.060 when I started realestateagentsitrust.com. I want you to only

00:48:26.160 do business with people that you walk away and go, that was the

00:48:30.100 best relationship I've ever had. That's the best business relationship I've been in with real

00:48:35.140 estate ever. I wanted a network of people who earned something far more valuable than a license.

00:48:40.980 They earned the reputation for doing things right and doing right by their clients. Because when

00:48:46.420 you're buying or selling a home, you're making the biggest decision financially, probably of your

00:48:50.660 life. So check out realestateagentsitrust.com. We'll show you how to buy or sell a home even

00:48:55.380 in a tough market. The name says it all. Realestateagentsitrust.com. Okay, so there's a

00:49:03.100 story written by Emma Camp, which I just think is really, really good. She writes,

00:49:07.480 Capitalism is beginning a bad rap. According to one 2025 Gallup poll, only 54% of Americans have

00:49:13.780 a positive view of capitalism. Note, this is why we should stop using the word capitalism and free

00:49:19.540 market. More Democrats think highly of socialism, more highly than capitalism. Another survey,

00:49:26.400 2019, found that younger Americans were the least likely to have positive feelings about capitalism.

00:49:31.840 Why is this happening? One underrated factor may be that many Americans don't have strictly

00:49:37.440 economic definition of capitalism. When I hear capitalism, I think of an economic system where

00:49:43.020 goods are distributed by markets rather than governments. I've realized now when talking

00:49:49.060 about economics online and in person, that's an unusual perspective. When many people say

00:49:53.960 capitalism, they mean the status quo. Even if this status quo involves a lot of problems caused

00:50:01.200 not by the free markets, but by the government regulation and cronious intervention. This is so

00:50:07.080 important. You stop using capitalism. And this is why we have to defend the free market, because

00:50:16.360 automatically it sounds like something new because that is true when you say capitalism

00:50:21.460 you're like we've tried that it doesn't work no and then you have to get in to explain we haven't

00:50:25.840 been doing capitalism for so take that problem away easily by saying free market i want to talk

00:50:31.400 to you about the free market because the free market a true free market doesn't have a lot of

00:50:36.920 the stuff that capitalism is doing right now and that is getting in bed with the government

00:50:40.760 and you can open the conversation and they'll actually hear you, okay?

00:50:47.480 The housing market, the most obvious example of this,

00:50:51.620 younger people's lives, lived experience of capitalism

00:50:54.620 was one of central planning and massive shortages

00:50:57.380 of the single most important item that they consume.

00:51:02.220 So she's right.

00:51:05.360 She's right.

00:51:07.120 Why do we have a housing shortage?

00:51:08.860 Let me explain the housing shortage in a way that I think people can understand, because here's what is happening.

00:51:15.500 You have too many people trying to get into a house because you just introduced 15 to 20 million people.

00:51:20.500 So they're looking for houses or apartments, 15 to 20 million people that we didn't plan for suddenly overnight are here and competing for a house or an apartment that you want.

00:51:31.760 Let me explain it this way.

00:51:33.020 Let's say you wanted to go to watch, I don't know, the United States soccer team play, I don't know, Peru.

00:51:40.940 And it was going to happen in Los Angeles.

00:51:43.140 And you're like, I want to go.

00:51:45.120 And I've been to Los Angeles before the hotels are expensive, but they're not crazy.

00:51:49.020 But all of a sudden, you notice that weekend, the prices are outrageously expensive on hotels.

00:51:55.340 And you're like, capitalism, they're just greedy.

00:51:57.500 No, why did the price go up?

00:51:58.980 The price went up because now you have not only people from the area coming in, but you're bringing people from all over the world.

00:52:07.460 All the people from Peru that want to come in, they need a hotel too.

00:52:11.720 So you've just now doubled the amount of hotels that you normally have and the city is built for.

00:52:18.460 And you've got people from all over the world and everybody wants one.

00:52:21.980 And so what happens is you either feel ripped off because this hotel just took advantage of us because they were so expensive.

00:52:28.340 Yes, because there was a shortage of supply or you end up being an hour and a half away in a crappy hotel and you're like, I paid so much money and I was staying at this.

00:52:40.260 I mean, there was a hooker right at the door.

00:52:43.040 Okay.

00:52:45.100 The ticket of the game was so expensive.

00:52:47.920 Yes, because people, so many people all over the world want to go and buy that ticket.

00:52:54.700 That's how it works.

00:52:56.020 And there's nothing wrong with any of that

00:53:01.620 There's no cronyism involved in that

00:53:04.060 That's just how it works

00:53:05.560 And that's what's happening with your home

00:53:07.120 You've just brought 20 million people in

00:53:09.620 And so they're all competing for the same apartment

00:53:12.660 Or the same home

00:53:13.920 So she writes in this article

00:53:18.700 Recently a video went viral

00:53:22.920 Showing the inside of a 1958 GE refrigerator

00:53:25.340 the appliance restorer behind the camera started the video by declaring they just don't build

00:53:28.960 things like they used to and then he shows off some unusual features like rotating shelves

00:53:33.320 just about all the commentators or the commenters seem to think the reason modern refrigerators

00:53:38.900 aren't as nice as the one in the video is because guess capitalism they made everything worse while

00:53:44.700 making everything more expensive okay more than 46 000 likes on that comment another comment with

00:53:51.780 Thousands of likes declared capitalism is literally built on the premise that things are not reliable

00:53:58.920 What

00:54:00.740 This particular fridge she writes was almost certainly far more expensive than a comparable appliance today

00:54:07.500 Well, I couldn't track down the price for that exact model

00:54:10.540 I did find an ad for a similar looking refrigerator in 1958 in the Sears catalog that refrigerator was listed at

00:54:17.500 three hundred and ninety nine dollars and 95 cents see you can't buy a refrigerator for 330

00:54:23.260 yeah okay but in today's dollars that's forty six hundred dollars a quick internet search reveals

00:54:30.300 that most refrigerators today are much less expensive than that then wire cutter a product

00:54:36.620 review website made a list of the best refrigerators on the market earlier this year only one of them

00:54:42.060 came within a thousand dollars of the 1958 refrigerator's price tag. If you're looking to

00:54:47.960 drop $4,600 on a fridge for the same reason, you'll end up buying a luxury product. A similarly priced

00:54:54.860 smart fridge is nearly 10 cubic feet larger than the 1958 one. It has a built-in ice maker,

00:55:01.560 including a setting for making clear cocktail spheres, a special viewing window, and a drawer

00:55:06.720 with a chilled wine setting.

00:55:08.860 If that doesn't convince you that appliances today

00:55:11.620 are better than their mid-century counterparts,

00:55:15.000 modern refrigerators are also much more energy efficient.

00:55:18.260 And contrary to the complaints

00:55:19.480 that modern appliances are built to break,

00:55:21.200 the longevity of our refrigerators

00:55:23.440 has barely budged in 30 years.

00:55:25.820 In 1990, 38.2% of family refrigerators

00:55:29.280 were more than 10 years old.

00:55:31.180 In 2020, it was 35.1.

00:55:35.100 The median American looking to buy a refrigerator today is better off than his grandfather in the 1950s.

00:55:40.760 The appliances themselves are cheaper, they're better, and he himself is richer,

00:55:45.800 so it takes him fewer hours of work to be able to afford an equivalent expense.

00:55:50.860 Competition from imports and technological innovation, both hallmarks of free market capitalism,

00:55:56.380 are why our appliances are bigger and better than they once were.

00:55:59.900 Capitalism, as it turns out, isn't why you can't have cool vintage refrigerators.

00:56:04.520 It's why many of us can afford a refrigerator in the first place.

00:56:08.900 In 1950, about 20% of homes didn't have a refrigerator.

00:56:15.640 Do you know anybody who has a home that doesn't have a refrigerator today?

00:56:22.840 When capitalism is an all-purpose scapegoat for any problem,

00:56:26.500 it's easy to take for granted America's considerable material abundance.

00:56:29.960 In this case, the problem seems to be more about the fact that vintage appliances look cool than anything else.

00:56:37.200 Plus, a mistaken belief that the modern refrigerator just doesn't last as long.

00:56:41.880 The status quo is far from perfect.

00:56:44.020 Young Americans are facing real affordability problems, most obviously in the form of housing crisis caused by government regulations, yes, that impede new construction, yes.

00:56:55.200 But while we may not have utopia, we also live in a world that is better than anything our forebears had to contend with.

00:57:02.400 It's much better to live in a world with abundant, inexpensive consumer goods, a world in which people can become jaded about those cheap products, than a world where necessities are costly.

00:57:12.160 I'll take my modern fridge any day.

00:57:14.540 Again, this comes from Emma Camp, who I just think just distilled this really, really well.

00:57:20.980 So I want to get into some language, and I want to talk to you about there are three categories of people that are searching for answers, and I'll explain.

00:57:33.020 But first, let me take you, actually, let me take a quick break, and then I want to talk to you about, just take one guy, he's in his, let's say, early 20s.

00:57:44.460 You know this person.

00:57:45.640 First real job, watching his rent go up 8% while his raise comes in at 3.

00:57:50.820 His dad worked one job, raised three kids on it, and he does the math and it doesn't add up.

00:57:55.580 And he's like, wait, this is not what I was promised.

00:57:59.960 The deal has changed.

00:58:01.780 Okay, so you know that person.

00:58:04.240 Let me talk about them here in just a second.

00:58:06.080 First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

00:58:09.780 Paid for by SuperSure Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency.

00:58:13.700 Okay, you walk into a business, immediately you can tell if it's well run.

00:58:18.340 It's not the furniture, it's not the logo, it's not whether they have free coffee in the waiting room.

00:58:22.380 It's the lack of chaos.

00:58:24.700 People that are there and work there know what they're doing.

00:58:28.640 They know who's responsible for what.

00:58:30.840 Questions get answered, problems get solved.

00:58:33.200 There's a quiet confidence that comes from having everything under control or at least as much.

00:58:38.040 And it's not an accident.

00:58:39.080 It is a result of thousands of smart decisions that you make every day that your customer is never going to see.

00:58:45.940 Business insurance should feel the same way.

00:58:48.620 That's why I like SuperSure.

00:58:49.840 They give you one point of contact, an easy-to-use dashboard, and a team that helps make sure your coverage stays in step with your business as it grows.

00:58:58.720 The best-run businesses don't spend their days putting out fires.

00:59:02.300 They make sure the fires never start in the first place.

00:59:05.360 right now you can go to supersure.com slash back and get a full report on your current policies

00:59:21.280 one place go to supersure.com slash back that's supersure.com slash back 10 seconds station id

00:59:35.360 so let's say this 20 something that we all know they're in their early 20s first real job they

00:59:44.180 can't make ends meet they can't find a job they've been promised you just keep your nose to the

00:59:49.360 grindstone you get good grades blah blah blah and it all and then everything has changed

00:59:53.760 they're thinking clearly this 20 something knows there's a real problem here and there is

00:59:59.920 and the people that they say of their peer group in let's say college they say man i don't i can't

01:00:11.820 make ends meet and they're like i know this system sucks and then they all start talking about how

01:00:18.480 this system and capitalism is bad and then somebody in the group or maybe a professor is is pushing

01:00:24.200 Karl Marx and everybody who came after Marx, such as Zoran Mamdani or AOC, and they tell

01:00:33.360 them, they reinforce, the system is the problem.

01:00:36.500 The whole thing needs to be replaced.

01:00:39.460 And that makes sense.

01:00:42.520 Because what are we talking about?

01:00:44.240 We're talking about capitalism.

01:00:45.960 And they already associate capitalism with something that has failed.

01:00:50.160 And perception is reality.

01:00:52.720 That's the most important thing.

01:00:53.960 read positioning battlefield or battleground of your mind it came out in the 80s and it was about

01:00:59.420 the cold of wars and it's true and it's something that i struggled with a long time ago perception

01:01:05.140 is reality got to change perception got to change perception well yeah but you better know what

01:01:11.500 you're doing because it's reality it's not just the way people it's reality to them okay and

01:01:18.440 they're responding to something that is true and if you deny it you're never going to get past it

01:01:23.760 The wealthy do have more political power than the rest of us, okay?

01:01:27.440 They do.

01:01:28.800 The big businesses do.

01:01:31.360 Markets crash, and they take people's houses down with them.

01:01:36.200 Some things do feel wrong in the way we price things, shoes, a kidney, a vote, medicine.

01:01:43.740 And we have to give real answers for those things.

01:01:47.760 So I want to talk about where that road actually goes with specifics.

01:01:51.940 Slogans are how you get people to stop listening.

01:01:55.740 On that road, one entity replaces the market.

01:01:59.720 It decides what gets made, who makes it, who gets it.

01:02:03.480 And the pitch is there are not going to be any more rich people.

01:02:05.960 There's no more billionaires, no more exploitation, no more accidents of birth deciding your life.

01:02:13.760 The problem with that pitch is information.

01:02:16.540 When you have millions of people buying and selling every day, the price is what tells the story.

01:02:24.420 Beef gets expensive in Chicago.

01:02:27.380 People are complaining about beef prices.

01:02:29.280 What does that do?

01:02:29.920 That tells the rancher in Nebraska, he knows, raise more cattle, make it cheaper.

01:02:36.740 But he can't if the government is on top of him and they haven't stopped monopolies

01:02:43.280 or they're making it more and more difficult to raise more cattle, okay?

01:02:48.780 Bread runs short in one city.

01:02:50.700 Grain moves in from three states over.

01:02:53.860 It's a signal system that runs 24 hours a day.

01:02:57.140 Nobody designed it, and it mostly works, okay, without anybody above it.

01:03:03.680 When one entity replaces all of that with a plan, the signal is lost.

01:03:09.260 And when you lose the signal, they don't know that a village is starving until the village is almost dead.

01:03:16.960 This has happened over and over again.

01:03:19.960 Ukraine, 1932.

01:03:21.640 Stalin's plan for the farm was simple.

01:03:24.860 Seize the grain.

01:03:26.560 They set the quotas, and if he didn't make it, they shot the farmer who resisted.

01:03:31.500 Well, they say between three and five, it could be as high as seven or eight million people starved in Ukraine.

01:03:38.920 in one year that was the the bread basket one year it's the bread basket of all of europe

01:03:47.380 stalin comes in puts in his planned centralized policies and they starve to death in a year

01:03:53.980 china 1958 to 1962 mao tells the peasant farmers you got to melt your farm tools down to make steel

01:04:03.040 because they had to have steel well the crops now are rotting in the fields because they don't have

01:04:08.160 anything. They don't have any machinery to get it. Somewhere between 15 and 45 million people died

01:04:15.260 between 1958 and 1962 in four years. Why? Well, we don't know the exact number because the regime

01:04:22.460 never counted because it didn't care about the people. Cambodia, 1975, Pol Pot emptied the

01:04:29.140 cities in a weekend. Anyone who wore glasses was suspected of being an intellectual and they all

01:04:35.580 had to die. And if you don't think that's possible, you haven't been looking around.

01:04:42.960 One and a half million people out of a population of seven were worked to death or shot in four

01:04:51.040 years. That's the old history. Let me give you some new history on when people replace

01:04:57.460 that signal with a with a hand a centralized hand venezuela 1998 they elected hugo chavez fair

01:05:06.100 election oil rich country richer per person than brazil richer than most of its neighbors only

01:05:12.020 behind us in the western hemisphere chavez and then maduro took over the oil company then took

01:05:18.980 over the food distribution and they set the policies and the prices by decree by 2017 the

01:05:26.100 the average Venezuelan had lost 19 pounds.

01:05:29.740 They were eating the zoo animals.

01:05:32.940 In peacetime, the shelves were empty.

01:05:36.880 The money was worthless.

01:05:38.400 Roughly 7 million people, close to a quarter of the country, left the country.

01:05:43.580 They walked to Colombia.

01:05:45.760 They boated to Trinidad.

01:05:47.680 They lined up outside the U.S. consulates in Ecuador.

01:05:51.160 The country still has the largest proven oil reserves in the world.

01:05:56.780 Have you seen the price of oil?

01:05:59.800 Cuba, 65 years in, same story, smaller scale.

01:06:04.020 2021, tens of thousands of Cubans marched in the streets.

01:06:07.800 Biggest protest since the revolution in 2021.

01:06:11.560 Do you know how they stopped those protests?

01:06:14.120 Beatings and arrests.

01:06:15.520 two years after more cubans have left the aisle than the than the boat lift in 1994 the rafter

01:06:24.920 crisis when you subsidize the housing and you ration the food and you jail the doctors

01:06:31.880 this is what you get you get young people on a boat north korea look at the satellite photos

01:06:37.980 at nighttime completely dark except a little pinprick you know who lives there the elites

01:06:45.300 Okay?

01:06:46.440 One side runs the market, and the other side runs a plan.

01:06:51.480 And that's why millions of people, over 100 million people have died from communism in the last 120 years.

01:07:01.020 Now, let me explain how we present that to people next.

01:07:06.080 All right, let me tell you about our sponsor.

01:07:09.700 It's Legacy Box.

01:07:10.900 One day, your kids are going to become curious about the people who came before them.

01:07:16.360 You're going to do your best.

01:07:17.520 You'll tell them stories.

01:07:18.420 You'll describe their great-grandparents, what they were like.

01:07:20.900 You'll try to explain their sense of humor, the way they talk, the way they smile,

01:07:24.740 the little things that made them them.

01:07:28.400 But when your parent dies, you're like, I should have asked grandma, grandpa,

01:07:35.580 or I should have asked mom and dad more.

01:07:37.620 I had more questions.

01:07:38.700 I just thought they would be there.

01:07:39.840 And I kind of knew these stories, but I didn't. They just always heard them talk. You know, they heard you talk about them. There's a part of every person that words can't quite capture. And it's the sound of their laugh, the way they waved at the camera, the look on their face when they didn't know anyone was watching.

01:07:56.900 the things that turn family history into something you can actually experience.

01:08:02.960 Legacy Box brings those to you.

01:08:04.980 They make it easy to preserve your old home movies, VHS tapes, the film reels, the photos, camcorder cassettes.

01:08:11.160 They digitize them so they can be seen for generations to come

01:08:15.080 because you want to meet those people with Legacy Box.

01:08:20.220 Legacybox.com slash records.

01:08:21.980 Legacybox.com slash records.

01:08:26.900 so i want to talk to you again about continue the conversation this is something that's going to

01:08:50.680 evolve over the next uh you know few months i think we're gonna be talking about the communists

01:08:54.720 for a while now and we have to we have to know who our audience is who we're trying to talk to

01:09:01.700 and then not and not just run it all into uh just bumper stickers okay communist

01:09:11.100 nobody's going to react to that you know how they're going to react to that the same way when

01:09:16.460 somebody calls you a racist fine whatever oh i'm a racist it has no meaning anymore communism has

01:09:23.940 no meaning anymore okay we have been saying communists forever ever uh and to a lot of

01:09:31.600 people that is you know i've heard them cry wolf about communism a thousand times people are not

01:09:36.960 necessarily communists not everybody is a communist let me give you three categories of

01:09:42.660 vote i think people are going through right now especially if they're under 30 and maybe maybe

01:09:47.620 under 40 i don't know but um i think there are three categories there is the valid disillusioned

01:09:56.040 person that has real grievance that is looking at things and like i worked hard i did everything i

01:10:03.760 was supposed to and i can't afford a house uh and a reasonable house i can't afford to start a family

01:10:11.020 I can't find a job

01:10:13.640 And it's all because of capitalism

01:10:15.220 No, some of it is about crony capitalism

01:10:18.220 But again, nobody listens

01:10:20.020 Nobody listens

01:10:21.920 And so, they're not communists

01:10:24.500 They don't want gulags

01:10:26.220 They don't want millions dead

01:10:28.100 They just, they don't understand

01:10:30.420 And no one's talking to them

01:10:32.300 Except the quote

01:10:34.260 Socialists, who are now finding out

01:10:36.700 In the study I told you about yesterday

01:10:38.340 About 51%

01:10:40.260 of the DSA, they're communists.

01:10:42.580 Self-acclaimed

01:10:44.100 communists. And there's

01:10:46.360 a big difference between a socialist

01:10:48.260 and a communist. And so

01:10:50.220 you have the disillusioned who are just

01:10:52.220 trying to figure things out. And then they

01:10:54.240 start listening to socialists.

01:10:57.420 And

01:10:57.500 they

01:11:00.260 don't realize that

01:11:02.080 51% of the people that are behind

01:11:04.180 this are communists. And if they do,

01:11:06.200 they may not even know what communists

01:11:07.680 are, what they've done. They don't know

01:11:10.060 the history because they've never been taught.

01:11:12.180 That's the second category. They start

01:11:14.140 to become socialists, but they still

01:11:16.020 are just, they're looking, they actually

01:11:18.080 believe in the utopia. They believe

01:11:20.140 this will make things better.

01:11:22.060 Okay? And then

01:11:24.020 there's the third category, the category that actually

01:11:26.080 are killers and thieves and

01:11:28.080 communists. Okay? Because once you

01:11:30.040 know you're a communist and you

01:11:31.880 declare it and you

01:11:33.900 know what that means,

01:11:36.980 well, then I put you in a separate

01:11:38.180 category. But the first two categories

01:11:40.040 are the majority of people that we're talking about who are voting for socialists.

01:11:44.720 They have no idea.

01:11:45.920 They have no idea.

01:11:47.060 So we can't just yell communist because they're not going to listen.

01:11:51.680 And I don't want a better insult.

01:11:53.720 I want a better word.

01:11:54.920 I want something you can point to, something that fair-minded people can't just wave away

01:12:00.120 because I don't know what's in their heart.

01:12:04.580 But I want them to know and I want to be able to describe what their policies

01:12:08.900 that they are claiming they're for, what it does.

01:12:12.100 So let me take you back to Paris in 1850.

01:12:15.100 Two years earlier, 1848, a couple of Germans publish a little pamphlet.

01:12:20.440 You know the one.

01:12:21.200 And in the middle of it, one of these Germans, Karl Marx,

01:12:24.520 does the thing his followers today will not do.

01:12:29.440 He tells you plainly what it's all for.

01:12:31.980 The whole theory, he writes, boils down to a single sentence.

01:12:35.580 the abolition of private property.

01:12:39.800 I don't think any of these people who are young socialists

01:12:43.540 want to get rid of their cell phone, their house, their car,

01:12:48.000 whatever it is, but that's what it actually is.

01:12:51.540 It boils down to the abolition of private property.

01:12:55.320 That's his goal in his words, okay?

01:12:59.020 So Marx names the goal, but it takes a Frenchman, believe it or not,

01:13:02.600 to name the machine, and it's Bastion.

01:13:05.580 So Bastiat is a member of the French assembly.

01:13:09.380 1848, he has front row seats to socialism's very first live experiment.

01:13:14.980 Okay.

01:13:15.440 France is deciding it's going to guarantee every man a job paid for by taking from men who already have a job.

01:13:24.580 And he watches it start.

01:13:26.160 And then he watches it quickly break.

01:13:28.560 In 1850, he now has TB.

01:13:31.260 And he writes this book called The Law.

01:13:33.340 It's a little book.

01:13:33.920 You should get it.

01:13:34.640 And he hands us a phrase that we don't use, and he calls it legal plunder.

01:13:40.260 He chose those two words really carefully.

01:13:43.340 Plunder, what does that mean?

01:13:45.120 It means taking something that isn't yours.

01:13:48.020 And we know that's wrong.

01:13:49.580 We teach that as kids.

01:13:50.620 You don't take that.

01:13:51.800 That's not yours.

01:13:53.240 And we build prisons for it.

01:13:56.460 But Bastiat noticed something funny, and we've talked about this before.

01:13:59.780 When one man does it, we call it robbery, and we lock him up.

01:14:02.960 But when somebody who wears the robes of government does it, a bill, a program, a vote, we call it justice.

01:14:10.640 And we hold a ribbon cutting for it.

01:14:13.700 Same act, same taking of something that doesn't belong to you.

01:14:18.740 You're taking it from somebody else.

01:14:21.100 But you just put on a robe, so you're not a criminal.

01:14:24.880 So what's the best tool in this fight?

01:14:29.940 It's a test.

01:14:31.020 You want to know if a law is plunder? Don't argue the label, okay? Just look at it. Does it take from some people what belongs to them and hand it to people it doesn't belong to? Does it let one citizen do to another through the government what he'd be arrested for doing himself?

01:14:53.680 That's the whole test.

01:14:55.380 Could you do that yourself?

01:14:58.220 If the answer is no, because you'd go to prison for it, then you can't assign that.

01:15:03.720 You don't have the right to do it, so you cannot assign that right to the government.

01:15:09.320 That's the whole test.

01:15:11.280 And notice what it's not.

01:15:12.960 What it's not is you're a bad person.

01:15:15.680 You're a communist.

01:15:16.520 Do you own a Che poster?

01:15:18.500 None of that.

01:15:19.540 It's just a mechanism.

01:15:20.600 you run it on a policy and the policy passes or it fails you can roll your eyes at the name

01:15:27.620 but not the test okay you can't roll your eyes at a mechanism so here's the new vocabulary as I see

01:15:34.000 it and I'd be interested in talking to anybody else who has a better idea but I think we need

01:15:40.160 to redefine a few things first four words and I'll show you I'll show you why each one's work

01:15:45.920 First, the machine itself, the politics of plunder.

01:15:51.480 You use this for the act, the transfer, the seizure, the confiscation that's dressed up as compassion.

01:15:57.980 It's the politics of plunder.

01:15:59.500 It's the politics of thievery, theft.

01:16:02.940 It works because it drags the fight off of feelings and off of the field of politics and into facts.

01:16:10.180 You're not accusing anybody of secret ideology.

01:16:13.980 You're not pointing and saying, look, there's so much of communists.

01:16:16.920 What you're pointing to is what this proposed law would do in daylight and say, let's run the test on that.

01:16:23.800 Because this seems like the politics of plunder, the politics of thievery, of theft.

01:16:29.600 Second, the men who run it, they're not politicians.

01:16:34.980 They're confiscators.

01:16:37.600 The confiscation class.

01:16:39.420 this one works because it defines

01:16:42.640 a man by what he does

01:16:44.640 not by what he feels

01:16:45.880 he's a dirty commie

01:16:47.040 no

01:16:47.420 his job is to confiscate those things that are not his

01:16:51.620 I can't see his heart

01:16:53.580 I can't see your voting record

01:16:55.700 are you voting for the confiscators

01:16:57.440 a confiscator is anybody

01:16:59.820 whose answer to every problem

01:17:02.080 on God's green earth is the same

01:17:04.220 take more

01:17:05.300 from somebody else

01:17:07.180 not me

01:17:08.320 but from somebody else

01:17:10.300 and let the state decide who

01:17:12.260 deserves it. You're confiscating

01:17:14.380 property.

01:17:16.880 Now,

01:17:18.140 I don't have to prove that person loves Stalin.

01:17:20.600 I only have to show you that

01:17:22.200 his hand is in somebody else's pocket.

01:17:24.900 The third is

01:17:26.260 the worldview underneath all of this,

01:17:28.180 and that's the taker's creed, the

01:17:30.060 thief's creed.

01:17:32.140 There are only two ways to get things

01:17:34.440 in the world. There's just two.

01:17:36.180 You can make it, you can grow it, you can

01:17:38.280 trade for it you can earn it and that's the maker's way or you can take it whether it's

01:17:45.240 you just being a thief or you've just given a right that you don't have yourself and you've

01:17:52.580 given that to the government and you've given it to guy with a badge and you call that taking that

01:17:58.060 thievery fairness now it's really simple to see and none of it is political okay let me give you

01:18:05.200 this a guy a guy spends all summer raising a chicken he feeds it he sits up at night guarding

01:18:12.820 it from the fox he's built a fence around it he bought the food he frets over it like it's family

01:18:18.580 because it's feeding his family and then his neighbor who raised nothing didn't do anything

01:18:24.440 all summer risk nothing lost no sleep send some guy that he has hired over to your house and cuts

01:18:32.940 the chicken in half and says, I'm taking half

01:18:34.920 the bird. You're like,

01:18:37.060 wait, what? It's compassionate.

01:18:39.040 No, no, it's theft.

01:18:40.880 You don't have a right to do that.

01:18:43.540 It says the man who

01:18:44.900 produced is suspect

01:18:46.780 and the man who redistributes it

01:18:48.820 is holy.

01:18:50.700 That's insanity.

01:18:54.220 Say the

01:18:54.960 inversion out loud and people

01:18:56.980 will feel it because everybody

01:18:59.000 listening knows in his bones the difference

01:19:00.920 between earning and taking.

01:19:04.360 And here's the fourth one,

01:19:06.440 the quietest, maybe the cruelest one,

01:19:09.100 the architects of dependency.

01:19:12.900 Because this is where the road ends.

01:19:17.500 Plunder, if you take from the maker long enough,

01:19:24.140 what does he do?

01:19:26.300 And this is where communism fails all the time.

01:19:29.280 What happens?

01:19:29.920 You take from somebody who's a maker long enough, what do they do?

01:19:35.060 They either, if they can, get out of your country, or they just stop making.

01:19:40.140 Because why am I doing it?

01:19:41.980 Why?

01:19:43.300 Half or everything that I own, I can't own any property anymore.

01:19:47.060 I don't have anything that's mine.

01:19:48.940 Why am I doing anything?

01:19:50.680 I'll just stand in line with everybody else.

01:19:52.960 You feed the taker long enough.

01:19:55.460 You feed them.

01:19:57.140 They forget how to feed themselves.

01:19:58.820 So you didn't rescue the poor man. You built the poor man. You designed him. And here's what's really nefarious about this. You designed him to need you forever.

01:20:12.220 you've just made

01:20:15.160 I mean you would be arrested if you did this in business

01:20:17.700 you've just made a permanent client

01:20:21.540 a permanent patron

01:20:23.100 both of them mistaking the chain for a gift

01:20:28.120 you've just enslaved them

01:20:30.420 and they're thanking you for it

01:20:31.900 now your neighbor who votes for every bit of this

01:20:36.200 is he a monster?

01:20:37.540 no he's not dreaming of the gulag he sees a sick kid or a broke grandmother or a man who just lost

01:20:47.980 his job and thinks you know the strong should help the weak and they ought to that instinct is one of

01:20:53.500 the best things about humans that's what jesus teaches us okay that you share jesus never taught

01:21:01.520 that you take.

01:21:03.440 You share.

01:21:05.640 But watch what the machine does

01:21:07.740 with a good intention

01:21:08.940 once you feed into it.

01:21:11.800 And it's a number.

01:21:14.920 It's actually a number

01:21:15.980 from a graveyard.

01:21:18.640 Scholars put together

01:21:19.720 something called

01:21:20.260 Every Home Should Have This Book.

01:21:22.140 It's called

01:21:22.440 The Black Book of Communism.

01:21:24.860 And it counted the last,

01:21:26.960 all of the dead

01:21:28.320 of the last century's

01:21:29.480 communist regimes.

01:21:30.300 and it lands somewhere between 94 million and north of 100 million human beings.

01:21:36.680 Russia, China, Cambodia, North Korea, Cuba, 100 million.

01:21:43.700 Now, how do you kill 100 million people?

01:21:48.240 It's easy. It starts with a lie.

01:21:51.340 They died from a mechanism run all the way to the end

01:21:56.240 because the moment you grant the state can take from anyone

01:21:59.620 to give to anyone else, you've torn down the only fence that ever protected a human being,

01:22:04.940 a line around what is his. Once that fence is down, there's no logical place to stop.

01:22:10.600 Not his property, not his farm, not his church, not his speech, not in the end, his life.

01:22:17.080 The confiscators always start with your wallet because it's the easiest thing to justify what

01:22:23.140 they're doing. But the wallet was never the prize. The wallet is just the first thing over the fence.

01:22:28.620 So I'd like to suggest we put the word communist down, or at least use it sparingly.

01:22:36.400 The more we use that word, it's worn out, and they know it.

01:22:40.680 Pick up the test instead.

01:22:42.800 Next time they roll out a program, don't shout communist.

01:22:45.780 Ask a question out loud.

01:22:47.960 Does this take from somebody what was his and hand it to somebody else that it never belonged to?

01:22:54.060 If it does, you don't have to guess at the heart or argue politics.

01:22:58.160 You know what you're looking at.

01:22:59.800 You're looking at the confiscators.

01:23:03.240 And now you have a new word that they actually have to think about

01:23:06.700 and not just laugh off or roll their eyes.

01:23:09.800 It's not a slur.

01:23:12.060 It's truth.

01:23:13.820 Back in a minute.

01:23:17.600 Every moment in history has something in common.

01:23:19.980 Sooner or later, it has to build.

01:23:22.480 It's not enough to complain about the way things are.

01:23:25.040 At some point, you have to create something better.

01:23:27.640 You have to build your own schools, your own churches, your own businesses, your own communities.

01:23:33.440 That's why I've talked so much about building a parallel economy.

01:23:36.720 It's not about boycotting the world.

01:23:38.460 It's about making sure there are companies that share your values when you need them.

01:23:43.020 Confiscators, they don't build.

01:23:44.620 They tear down.

01:23:45.860 They destroy.

01:23:47.320 They're not good at building.

01:23:48.680 Notice we're not saying destroy this.

01:23:50.360 We're saying build, build, build.

01:23:53.320 Patriot Mobile is a great example of this.

01:23:55.300 They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

01:23:57.920 Instead of complaining about all these companies,

01:23:59.680 they decided we're going to build dependable service on all three major networks,

01:24:03.300 one where you can keep your phone, keep your number, or get new ones.

01:24:06.620 You can talk to a U.S.-based team, that is their customer service team,

01:24:13.280 all here in the United States.

01:24:14.900 And they put their money behind causes that they believe in,

01:24:17.380 Donating millions of dollars to organizations that defend faith and family and freedom.

01:24:21.640 They're the first we call, always.

01:24:23.840 There's a hurricane or something and people need food.

01:24:25.960 We immediately call Patriot Mobile and say, hey, can you guys make a donation on this?

01:24:29.920 We need to move quickly.

01:24:31.120 And they're always there.

01:27:46.500 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:27:50.040 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program,

01:27:57.780 live from Los Angeles, California, where absolutely nothing makes sense.

01:28:04.120 I'm going to try to make sense of the world,

01:28:06.120 and I'm going to let people speak for themselves, quite honestly.

01:28:11.360 I'm just going to roll some tape on some things that have been said here in the last 24 hours

01:28:15.160 and let you decide what makes sense and what doesn't make sense.

01:28:18.380 We'll do that here in just a second.

01:28:19.580 And first, let me tell you about our sponsor.

01:28:21.020 By the way, did you hear Daylight Savings Time?

01:28:24.080 Oh, we finally got rid of it.

01:28:25.320 Well, we didn't get rid of it.

01:28:26.440 The House voted against it, but the Senate probably is not going to.

01:28:30.320 But don't you feel so much better that Congress is in there fighting for the things you really think are important?

01:28:37.160 Oh, man.

01:28:38.920 Oh, I mean, and why is the GOP worried that they might have a hard time getting elected and reelected or holding on to their power?

01:28:48.240 I don't know why I might be having it right now.

01:28:53.100 Let me tell you about American financing.

01:28:55.340 Sailors don't set the sails at once.

01:28:57.400 They leave them there for the whole voyage.

01:28:59.780 No, they don't.

01:29:00.620 The wind changes, the weather changes, the sea changes.

01:29:03.260 And if you keep the sails in exactly the same position,

01:29:05.500 no matter what's happening around you,

01:29:06.920 you're going to drift off course, way off course.

01:29:09.120 And your financing is the same way.

01:29:12.280 The mortgage that made perfect sense five or 10 years ago

01:29:15.280 may not be the one that makes the most sense today.

01:29:17.480 your family has changed your goals have changed interest rates have changed life has moved on

01:29:23.160 that's what i like about american financing they don't start with a loan they start with

01:29:26.920 a conversation they look at where you are today where you want to go tomorrow and whether

01:29:31.080 refinancing could help you get there because the smartest people don't keep making the same

01:29:35.560 decision don't set the sales and then just take off in life they keep making the right decision

01:29:40.440 for the conditions that you're in there are no upfront fees to find out what you qualify for

01:29:45.160 Talk to a salary-based consultant today, experts who are paid to help you save, not to sell you more than you need.

01:30:09.760 Gosh, I just don't even know where to start.

01:30:11.440 Things are so crazy.

01:30:15.160 well i mean since we have congress in the news and they were making such important decisions

01:30:22.480 yesterday um why don't i start with chuck schumer um because this is as important as what they did

01:30:30.220 yesterday i mean sure we could get i mean honestly i mean i feel like we need a marching band for

01:30:36.800 what they did yesterday you know oh we have one

01:30:40.480 yes left-handed rubber bands i hope they bring that up i hope that they could work on something

01:30:53.520 like the save america act but nope nope we got the daylight savings and by the way doesn't look

01:31:01.200 like Senate's going to pass that, so

01:31:02.960 there's a fight

01:31:05.200 worth having. I wonder who's going to

01:31:07.100 stop it. If we could just get

01:31:09.200 them on the record so we would know it was

01:31:11.260 John Thune, then

01:31:12.840 well

01:31:14.760 then

01:31:17.040 you know

01:31:18.420 because that's what they're doing with the Save America Act

01:31:21.020 yeah, but see when he

01:31:23.260 doesn't pass it, then we'll know it was

01:31:25.240 John Thune. Oh, well

01:31:27.220 that's going to make me feel so much better

01:31:29.360 Thank you for that.

01:31:30.480 And I appreciate it.

01:31:31.480 They moved the clocks. They rang the bell.

01:31:33.580 Voter ID. Ah, maybe

01:31:35.360 after hell. The clocks are fixed.

01:31:37.980 Hip, hip, hooray.

01:31:39.580 Voter ID. Maybe

01:31:41.300 someday.

01:31:45.820 Okay. All right. Okay.

01:31:47.280 Let me, um,

01:31:49.300 now let me take you on something that actually

01:31:51.140 matters as much as

01:31:53.400 that. Chuck Schumer,

01:31:54.860 yesterday, apparently, is this happening

01:31:57.420 in the Senate? I have not heard this, but

01:31:59.040 Ricky keeps telling me you got to get to Chuck Schumer in the Senate because it's.

01:32:03.260 Does this happen on the floor of the Senate?

01:32:05.920 It happened on the floor of the Senate yesterday.

01:32:09.180 Allegedly could be a I don't think it is, but.

01:32:13.260 We report you to some.

01:32:14.520 I love a good scandal.

01:32:16.080 Here it is.

01:32:16.580 Cut three.

01:32:18.260 And we need a complete investigation that's independent.

01:32:23.420 Now on Iran and the NDAA.

01:32:26.500 When all the Trump administration.

01:32:29.040 what a metaphor i mean he laughed after it so play it again he laughed after i don't think it

01:32:46.040 is ai listen and we need a complete investigation that's independent now on iran and the ndaa

01:32:54.380 when all the trump administration i gotta tell you i think it's and i think it's appropriate too

01:33:03.180 i think it is absolutely appropriate it is like exactly like you know how seriously we should

01:33:12.020 take anything that's coming out of this guy's mouth or any of them quite honestly any of them

01:33:16.560 you know hey what we're gonna do is we're gonna fix the

01:33:19.320 economy yeah i'm i'm with you on that one yep that's what we're gonna do

01:33:28.720 do we know has he been at taco bell because i guess taco bell now is the one that is

01:33:35.420 responsible for this this virus that is going around now now let's let's not slander taco

01:33:43.340 bell they are under investigation but we don't know for sure under investigation but it does

01:33:47.560 appear that schumer is a victim of the cyclosporiasis outbreak which is the cyclosporiasis

01:33:54.360 lots of explosive diarrhea that's what it is it's explosive diarrhea and i don't i mean i i haven't

01:34:00.760 been following the story i know everybody's talking about the explosive diarrhea um but

01:34:05.160 when i heard that it might be taco bell i'm like that's redundant because i mean what is because

01:34:10.400 you always have diarrhea you go to taco bell you always have that but now it's because not just

01:34:16.020 because of their food it's what might be in their food or on the lettuce is that what's happening

01:34:20.220 and are we measuring this just by the velocity that it comes out of your body at the end because

01:34:25.380 it's usually pretty fast you know you could have a big big burrito supreme and all of a sudden i

01:34:31.980 mean you are like i gotta run to the bathroom but now i guess it's i guess now it's worse and it can

01:34:37.200 happen to senators at any time oh god bless you taco bell there's a place for you you know i mean

01:34:47.160 because i like i like taco bell there are times when you just crave taco bell but you should just

01:34:52.120 eat it while you're on the toilet uh anyway let me go to dsa now the democratic socialists of

01:34:58.640 america here's their latest now this is the co-chair of the democratic socialists of america

01:35:05.060 Now, anybody who thinks that, well, they're just like they you know what, they just want to they just want to make sure that housing prices are lower and they just have different ideas.

01:35:15.180 OK, well, here's one of their different ideas that they just passed.

01:35:18.060 Listen to this.

01:35:19.220 So would you like to abolish the Senate?

01:35:21.940 That's that's part of our platform.

01:35:23.140 And we don't think that's extreme.

01:35:25.060 We think it's it's a change that would help make this country more democratic.

01:35:29.560 Uh-huh. Okay. Remember when you said you just wanted the government to follow the Constitution. You were called an extremist, a dangerous extremist. They want, and you hate it. That was my other favorite of it. You hated the government. You were talking about the founders. You were quoting the Federalist Papers, and somehow or another, you hated the government.

01:35:55.520 this guy is saying we don't think it's extreme to a to abolish the senate and i can guarantee you

01:36:02.120 nobody that should be everywhere these guys are winning elections are you seeing that that should

01:36:08.280 lead if i would have said that when the tea party was going on we should abolish the senate that

01:36:13.600 would have led the news everywhere in america everywhere as proof i was a dangerous a dangerous

01:36:21.900 extremists that hated our government this is nowhere and it's part of their platform by the way

01:36:29.420 you you somebody who just doesn't know history you already screwed up the senate okay you've

01:36:39.580 already screwed it up it was you progressives that took it and made it into what it is

01:36:45.240 it used to represent they say now it only represents the millionaires and the billionaires

01:36:51.060 and the giant corporations yeah why is that why is that because you took the senate which was

01:36:58.100 supposed to be a deliberative body the people are represented by the house the house is the

01:37:04.500 people's court not actually the people's court uh it's the it's the house of the people

01:37:12.480 that's why you have to elect them every two years because they hold the purse strings they're the

01:37:17.380 ones for taxes and so you wanted to be able to get rid of them quickly because they have to answer

01:37:22.840 to the people immediately but they worried that well who's going to pay attention to the rights

01:37:27.640 of states and so they put the senate in and that was a more deliberative body and it was the each

01:37:33.900 senator they were never elected did you know that the senators were not elected the senators were

01:37:39.840 selected by the state legislature so texas they would have a uh a group of you know the the the

01:37:47.800 people in the legislature in texas they would take a vote and they would nominate and then they would

01:37:53.940 send that person to be the the senator from the state of texas the person that would stand guard

01:38:00.520 over the rights of texas when the progressives changed this because it's just you know what

01:38:07.820 they're representing the millionaires and the billionaires when they changed that what did

01:38:14.280 they do they made that a national election so you lost the idea of somebody's protecting the states

01:38:21.900 now that it doesn't work what a surprise it doesn't work now we should just get rid of the

01:38:28.880 senate oh my gosh now uh not only that but he'd like to take it a step further cut nine our goal 0.54

01:38:39.620 is to reframe politics around class lines in the united states which is what the ruling class has

01:38:44.300 been doing stop stop i just want to i want you to hear carl marx here he wants to redefine politics

01:38:55.160 how exactly play that again our goal is to reframe politics around class lines in the united states

01:39:00.580 which is what the ruling class has been doing forever we want to transfer power from the one

01:39:06.020 percent of the working class and and to replace capitalism with socialism which means expanding

01:39:11.820 democracy in every part of our lives and that's that's how we're organizing people together in

01:39:15.780 other countries that got more expansive things like universal health care um it happened with

01:39:20.420 with class struggle and that that's what organized workers with majorities of the population power

01:39:26.540 is not conceded without without struggle and that means people have to organize um in our own

01:39:31.100 interests to win these things notice he talks about health care and what is he talking about

01:39:36.260 health care he's trying to make socialism sound like uh socialism from sweden sweden and their

01:39:43.680 health care system you know sweden is more free market than the united states of america

01:39:50.260 Now, it wasn't always this way, you know, because they were like, we got to have free everything for everybody.

01:39:55.660 And then what happened?

01:39:56.380 They went broke.

01:39:57.940 And so at least you want to be more like Sweden?

01:40:00.200 Let's be more like Sweden.

01:40:02.200 You know what they do?

01:40:03.660 Yes, they tax people more.

01:40:05.780 Yes, you pay a lot more.

01:40:07.840 But everybody pays taxes.

01:40:10.620 You know who they don't penalize?

01:40:13.100 Businesses and millionaires or billionaires.

01:40:15.340 They don't.

01:40:16.640 Why?

01:40:16.920 Because then they did that. They realized everyone who builds, everybody who makes something is moving out of the country and we can't have that happen. So they stopped punishing those people. They kept those people and they said, everybody has to pay taxes. You want this free health care, right? You get that free health care and it's the greatest ever in the world. Well, you're going to pay for it and everyone is going to pay for it.

01:40:43.880 Well, that wasn't enough in the 90s. They also realized we've got to only we want to spend this money. We have to have people making this money. So they made the country much more free to do business. It is a freer market than the United States.

01:41:01.180 What do these guys want to do?

01:41:03.120 They want to punish the wealthy.

01:41:04.860 They want to punish the people that make things.

01:41:07.240 They want to make sure that only half of the country,

01:41:09.620 or maybe even 10% of the country, is the one paying taxes.

01:41:12.740 That's what they're promising.

01:41:14.100 That it'll only be the rich that are going to pay taxes.

01:41:16.060 They're doing exactly the opposite of what those countries

01:41:19.780 that they claim have successful safety nets,

01:41:24.620 and safety nets the size that they want them,

01:41:27.760 they're doing all of the opposite things.

01:41:30.200 They are leading you to absolute destruction, absolute destruction.

01:41:35.480 But people are listening because nobody in Washington, you know the most important thing Chuck Schumer has done in the last 30 days?

01:41:47.300 That's the most important.

01:41:48.660 That's the only thing we're talking about that Chuck Schumer has done.

01:41:54.760 And the Republicans are not far, far behind them.

01:41:57.320 nobody's talking about what people are actually feeling these people are they're saying hey we

01:42:03.260 got to have health care we have to have cheaper health care people all know that so what do you

01:42:08.540 want to do you want to double down now on obamacare that you already promised would be the answer to

01:42:14.860 the cancer you already promised that this would be the solution that health care that the average

01:42:20.960 family would save two thousand was it two thousand dollars a year are you saving money since obamacare

01:42:28.300 came in because i'm not no i don't know anybody that is it's worse than it was at least the swedes

01:42:36.260 went you know what let's learn from our our problems here and let's learn from the lessons

01:42:43.400 that this socialist stuff it we want to have the socialized medicine and everything else

01:42:48.720 but we can't do it by punishing people who actually make and build that's the difference

01:42:56.400 by the way as we're struggling there was another country that was going down this

01:43:01.960 very road and they woke up and malay in uh argentina just gave let's play cut 10 here

01:43:09.880 just gave a speech on their independence day just last week and and listen to what he said

01:43:15.400 let's take a moment to analyze the path we've traveled in these recent years

01:43:19.680 we avoided a hyperinflation that would have plunged nearly 90 percent of argentines into poverty

01:43:26.300 and as if that weren't enough we also managed to reduce poverty say to 27 or 28 percent

01:43:32.420 we reduced the quasi fiscal deficit from 15 points of gdp to zero

01:43:38.800 we carried out the largest adjustment in the history of humanity we eliminated the currency

01:43:44.260 controls that curtail the freedom of people to save in dollars. We approved the incentive regime

01:43:49.600 for large investments, which totaling all projects has reached the figure of $150 billion in

01:43:55.380 investment commitments. We carried out more than 16,000 reforms in the vast legal framework that

01:44:01.780 was stifling Argentines. We have had a fiscal surplus for months, deleveraging a country that

01:44:07.340 lives subjected to the scourge of permanent debt. We are deleveraging the country.

01:44:11.520 Listen to that. Liberating the country from near hyperinflation to a fiscal surplus. How? By doing the opposite of what socialists are now saying that they have the solution for. They have the solution.

01:44:27.940 If you're looking, if the answer is, I want to be the way Argentina was, listen to the socialists.

01:44:35.000 You want to go from near hyperinflation to fiscal surplus, put people back to work, build things, reduce poverty, then do what Malay is doing in Argentina.

01:44:46.540 More in just a second.

01:44:49.260 All right, our sponsor this half hour is Rapid Radios.

01:44:56.400 You probably recognize that line is from the famous poem about Paul Revere's Midnight Ride.

01:45:01.460 Back then, if the British were coming, you know, communication options were a little, let's say, limited, honestly.

01:45:08.380 I mean, things would have gotten a lot more smoothly if old Paul and his friends had, you know, rapid radios.

01:45:13.120 What if I land or, you know, just grab your rapid radio?

01:46:03.640 somebody's got to help me out on on cut seven here this is mom donnie uh apparently

01:46:20.340 rapes have gone up in new york listen to his answer on why that's happening she said though 0.95

01:46:27.680 that rape and felony assaults are concerning to her in terms of those numbers now she as the

01:46:31.320 council will continue to push for more officers. And she said that, you know, the NYPD is touting

01:46:35.000 low numbers, but she's looking at different numbers. Somewhere in the middle is the truth.

01:46:38.520 Where is it? Well, I believe the NYPD, when they put forward their numbers, what we're seeing

01:46:42.960 are some of the lowest numbers that New York City has seen in recorded history, especially when it

01:46:47.200 comes to murders and shootings. These are the lowest we've ever seen. And what I think is

01:46:50.720 important to know is a lot of the increase in rape also comes from an expanded definition of

01:46:55.780 what counts as rape as well as survivors coming forward for uh acts that took place years prior

01:47:02.300 and we are thankful for them coming forward the courage and the bravery it takes but just to

01:47:06.260 provide new yorkers with that context i think that's the first time he's ever said i believe

01:47:13.080 the police in it i mean and i guess i guess his answer makes sense you know it's just because

01:47:20.960 we've expanded the definition of rape if you expand the definition of rape i guess you're

01:47:26.160 going to have more people reporting rape either that or you're just having more rapists which

01:47:32.700 could also very well be the reason because you seem to have a problem with bad people in your

01:47:41.080 city, but maybe that's

01:47:43.800 you know

01:47:44.660 just me

01:47:46.500 do we have also

01:47:49.080 the story, I've got to get to the

01:47:51.220 story here in a minute

01:47:52.800 about the homeschooling, these

01:47:54.940 liberal podcasters, Jennifer Welsh

01:47:57.120 and Angie Sullivan, I issued a 0.87

01:47:59.360 challenge to them

01:48:01.060 earlier today, I just want to make sure

01:48:03.180 they hear it, and we're going to be reaching out to them

01:48:05.080 because I'm dead serious

01:48:07.360 I'd like

01:48:09.260 to prove them right

01:48:10.880 and they can do it so easily about homeschooling.

01:48:13.880 We'll talk about that here in just a second.

01:48:18.400 Also, the best states to live in.

01:48:22.020 You know, CNBC came out with this thing last week,

01:48:24.500 and they were like,

01:48:25.180 yeah, these are the five best and worst states.

01:48:27.580 Yeah, really, are they?

01:48:28.980 I looked at the way they calculated them.

01:48:31.540 I have a different calculation.

01:48:32.780 I'll share that with you next.

01:48:33.960 Hang on just a second.

01:48:34.920 First, our sponsor is

01:48:37.580 the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

01:48:40.080 When everything is going well, it's easy to talk about your values.

01:48:42.780 It's easy to say you believe in compassion and generosity and loving your neighbor.

01:48:48.740 The real test comes when people are hurting.

01:48:51.740 That's when you find out whether those words were just something you said or something you believed.

01:48:56.320 When people are hurting.

01:48:57.640 And then you add on top of that, now it's not so popular to help.

01:49:02.260 Now where are your values?

01:49:04.100 This is one of the reasons I'm grateful for the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

01:49:07.800 While the headlines change from day to day, they keep showing up and they provide food for hungry families, shelter for those who have been displaced, care for the elderly, emergency assistance to people in Israel whose lives have been turned upside down.

01:49:20.180 Here's what's really important to me.

01:49:21.940 It's not just that they are providing these things.

01:49:24.660 It's a challenge to us to stand with your values and actually tell Jewish people, you're not alone.

01:49:32.420 We're not going to forget you this time.

01:49:34.060 We're not going to just stand by quietly.

01:49:36.780 Get your free Israeli-American flag pin.

01:49:40.080 Go to flagpinifcj.org.

01:49:42.260 That's your first hurdle.

01:49:43.440 Are you willing to wear it on your lapel?

01:49:45.820 Flagpinifcj.org.

01:49:48.200 You are not going to want to miss Glenn's list.

01:49:51.800 A nice rebuttal, a savage rebuttal to CNBC next.

01:50:05.800 welcome to the glenbeck program uh you know i didn't get a chance uh on monday to talk about

01:50:16.880 uh the cnbc uh best states worst states to live in in the country now cnbc this is a business

01:50:25.880 a business uh network okay uh and they are ranking now the top 10 worst states to live in

01:50:34.420 for 2026 and uh they put they say they are placing increased emphasis on quality of life

01:50:42.740 one of the 10 categories of competitiveness in our annual america's top states for business

01:50:49.460 studies okay for business it's our annual ranking of every state's business climate now in its 20th

01:50:57.760 year. Okay. All right. Let me just go through a couple of them. Um, Oklahoma, one of the worst

01:51:05.460 places to live. Here's what they said. Oklahoma imposes one of America's strictest bans on

01:51:12.600 abortion. What does that have to do with business? State ranked 40th for worker protections. What do

01:51:21.480 they mean by workers protection they mean the right to organize for a labor union i don't know

01:51:28.960 the businesses that love labor unions okay uh let's see alabama same thing uh weaknesses worker

01:51:39.200 protections health and inclusiveness okay i mean they get into some real hell holes you know real

01:51:46.940 hellhole like do i need to even say more than utah what a hellhole that place is texas oh man

01:51:56.280 people can't get out of texas fast enough indiana with just 779 licensed child care facilities in

01:52:03.880 a state of nearly 7 million people indiana finishes at the bottom for child care availability

01:52:08.140 on a per capita basis what's available is expensive eating up 15 of the median income

01:52:12.960 for household uh blah blah quality of life score uh the strength is crime low on crime weakness

01:52:20.700 child care air quality and health texas i love this while texas continues to lead the nation

01:52:27.900 in attracting workers oh i don't know it's not just the workers that are moving to texas it's

01:52:34.120 the business you'd have all the workers in the world if you didn't have businesses moving in

01:52:38.280 you'd have a lot of unemployment there but uh those workers are finding a broad array of

01:52:44.540 challenges when they get there they um the lone star state has america's highest rate of people

01:52:49.860 without health insurance at 16.7 percent now you don't think that that might have something to do

01:52:55.140 with oh i don't know open borders you think maybe that percentage might be up because of the open

01:53:03.320 borders the quality of life score is 78 out of 290 points because of child care air quality

01:53:11.240 um that that's one of the reasons the strengths that they have the weaknesses health crime

01:53:17.380 border inclusiveness worker protections it's a right to work state and reproductive rights

01:53:24.960 now let me let me just go through this health i guess you have to have help healthy workers

01:53:30.840 crime. You need crime. You're going to have 1.00

01:53:34.380 a problem doing business if crime is everywhere, but that's apparently

01:53:38.880 a weakness. Now, where would that be a weakness? It would be a weakness on the border

01:53:42.900 or I would assume you would be

01:53:46.820 saying, let's say, Austin, which

01:53:50.240 is a blue city, Houston, which is a deeply

01:53:54.660 blue city, or Dallas, which is also a deeply blue

01:53:58.740 city inclusiveness okay and worker protections and reproductive rights i gotta tell you at the

01:54:07.800 office as a businessman because i just i just want so many of my workers just to have abortions and

01:54:15.580 all of the women that work for me they're like glenn i can't work in texas i can't get an abortion

01:54:20.740 and i'm like right and that is so important to all of us here doing our jobs uh america worst 0.98

01:54:28.080 place to live. Tennessee is one of them. Why? Inclusiveness. It's not the only area where the

01:54:35.520 volunteer state falls short, but they make no apologies for a rash of state laws targeting the

01:54:44.880 LGBTQ plus community. Yeah, the so-called bathroom law requiring transgender people to use facilities

01:54:52.920 designated for their sex at birth, that's a target.

01:54:55.940 They're targeting people.

01:54:57.680 No, they're saying, no, we're protecting the women and the girls

01:55:03.240 from creeps in the bathroom.

01:55:06.420 That's what it is.

01:55:07.420 Sorry, I'm sorry, you were assigned that hose at birth.

01:55:13.140 Go into the hose room.

01:55:16.340 The state also explicitly bars localities from adopting their own

01:55:21.720 anti-discrimination ordinances.

01:55:23.700 To underscore the point, Lee signed a resolution

01:55:25.840 designating June.

01:55:27.700 This is why you don't want to live in Tennessee.

01:55:29.720 Designating June, nuclear family

01:55:31.900 month.

01:55:32.900 God, God.

01:55:34.820 You know what happens when you have a nuclear family?

01:55:38.260 Businesses fall apart.

01:55:39.760 You can't do business in a place where they're...

01:55:42.180 You know what I mean? You just can't.

01:55:45.200 You're going to do business

01:55:46.220 where the families are strong?

01:55:47.600 That's what I hate about Utah.

01:55:49.640 You know, you go to Utah, oh, what a hellhole that place is.

01:55:53.380 There are people who actually believe in God, and, you know, the family is strong.

01:55:58.860 You know, it's crazy.

01:55:59.760 I hear people move into Utah all the time, and they say, you know, it's so great here.

01:56:04.800 It is so great.

01:56:05.720 It's not like California.

01:56:07.160 So great.

01:56:07.600 The families are so great, and there's so much to do for children because there's so many kids out here.

01:56:14.580 you know the only problem is

01:56:17.480 all these

01:56:19.160 religious people

01:56:20.880 what do you think gave you the children

01:56:23.820 and the families

01:56:25.560 so anyway I decided I was

01:56:31.840 going to put in my own

01:56:33.960 recommendations and this is

01:56:35.800 just for I'm trying to think of

01:56:37.580 you know because

01:56:38.240 we often we have a very big blue

01:56:41.640 state audience

01:56:42.560 huge blue staters uh they listen to this audience this that blue staters in this audience probably

01:56:49.140 99 of the audience and so i thought i'm going to help them out i'm going to help them out

01:56:53.540 and so i i made a list you know based on a couple of different uh standards for instance i'm maybe

01:56:59.920 maybe you know three lists here the first one if you're looking for a state that has the fewest

01:57:05.420 people that believe in god the highest concentration of hamas supporters and the

01:57:11.320 Lowest marriage rates.

01:57:14.020 Oh, and no state is complete.

01:57:16.680 You've got to have fewest people that believe in God.

01:57:19.320 You don't want any of those dirty religious people.

01:57:22.260 You've got to be surrounded by a bunch of people who love Hamas.

01:57:27.000 They don't stick to that old idea of marriage,

01:57:31.540 but they're also overly educated.

01:57:35.400 These are the best states for you.

01:57:37.400 Massachusetts, number one.

01:57:39.060 number two new york i mean columbia ground zero for the encampments you know so vermont

01:57:47.080 least religious state in america and one of the lowest marriage rates but the great thing is

01:57:53.600 education levels far above you know where where you would think vermont because it's rural

01:58:00.560 you'd think that they'd just be bunch of dummies but they're not they're overeducated and that's

01:58:06.620 why they're the least religious state and the lowest marriage rates in the country that's what

01:58:13.160 you're looking for you're looking for vermont and of course california or washington state

01:58:18.220 bottom five in religious affiliation top 10 in advanced degrees you know and sustained activism

01:58:26.200 at the university of washington so you got that whole thing wrapped up just live in seattle

01:58:31.260 because that's not a hellhole.

01:58:34.120 Now, if you're looking for a different kind of place,

01:58:36.880 maybe you're looking for a place with the most morbidly fat people,

01:58:41.900 people who are so fat you're like,

01:58:43.820 they're going to die in the next 10 minutes,

01:58:45.280 and you're looking for fat people who can't read

01:58:48.300 and the weakest labor force, 0.75

01:58:51.060 these are the five states for you.

01:58:52.420 West Virginia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Nevada.

01:58:56.900 Now, Nevada, number four, is really, because of the unemployment rates, only behind D.C. and California.

01:59:06.480 Plus, roughly one in four adults lack basic literacy.

01:59:11.940 So Nevada makes it, obesity is only middling, you know, which keeps it out of the top three.

01:59:17.780 But they're being pushed from behind, if you will, by D.C. and California as a state.

01:59:23.980 Now, if you want to live in a place where it's super easy to find a drug dealer, and you want a lot of people living in tents, plus low test scores for your kids in school, and the most outrageously unreasonable housing costs, you need to live in New Mexico.

01:59:43.080 That's number one, okay?

01:59:46.120 Dead last in fourth grade math.

01:59:48.540 And it's a deeply blue state, so you're going to love it there.

01:59:51.100 um 16 points below the national national average in eighth grade math newsweek uh and and uh said

01:59:59.200 that it fell another 13 points in eighth grade math math from an already low base um and the

02:00:05.420 american enterprise institute say it is chronically top tier overdose rate and housing that's cheap on

02:00:12.900 paper but that's brutal because the incomes are so low but you're going to be able to find drugs

02:00:18.620 there okay nevada bottom tier schools las vegas housing market prices are far ahead you know of

02:00:26.080 what you can make there and it's a wide open corridor for fentanyl and meth so you got that

02:00:31.960 going for you number three is alaska but you gotta live in alaska i mean it's beautiful and

02:00:37.680 everything but i hear it gets cold number four is oregon so again if you're looking for drugs

02:00:45.140 I mean, an easy way to get drugs.

02:00:47.540 You've got to find a drug dealer.

02:00:48.680 You need them in 10 minutes.

02:00:50.640 Oregon's your place to be.

02:00:52.280 Homeless people living in tents.

02:00:53.860 Hello, Portland.

02:00:55.640 And low test scores in school but unreasonable housing costs.

02:01:00.200 Oregon.

02:01:01.120 And, of course, California.

02:01:03.480 California is great.

02:01:04.720 Now, honorable mention here, Arizona and Washington just miss this list.

02:01:09.920 but now let's just say you're the typical stereotypical blue stater and um it's so bad

02:01:20.840 and your lifestyle is just calling for just non-stop liquor stores and strip clubs and

02:01:26.800 casinos because you're a dirt bag and you're like i need to be surrounded by strip clubs

02:01:32.380 liquor stores and casinos where do i go

02:01:34.900 well not to utah not to not to utah no no uh i couldn't actually i don't know why i couldn't

02:01:46.320 put together the list of the top 10 i could only do the bottom 10 i'm sorry the bottom five so

02:01:52.200 these are the places if you are looking for strip clubs you're looking for liquor stores and casinos

02:01:58.880 here's where you don't want to live

02:02:00.680 you don't want to live in Hawaii

02:02:01.680 which surprised me honestly

02:02:03.420 you'd think there'd be a lot of that

02:02:05.240 because I don't know if you know this

02:02:06.660 you know it's like when you're in a car chase in Hawaii

02:02:08.860 where are you going

02:02:09.600 the freeway is a circle

02:02:11.780 I mean you're just going to end up in the same place

02:02:14.040 why don't you just block it

02:02:15.300 because you're coming back eventually

02:02:16.920 you know there's not a lot to do

02:02:19.440 I mean unless you're an outdoorsy person

02:02:21.360 or you want human sacrifice in a volcano

02:02:23.760 it's probably the number one place to human sacrifice

02:02:26.120 you know

02:02:26.620 in a volcano

02:02:28.180 know uh so uh no legal casinos there uh no lottery you know casino.org none none of that

02:02:37.000 they won't even let cruise ships fire up the the slots in state waters you know it's what's weird

02:02:43.300 though is it's not like cruise ships if you have a casino in hawaii you can on a cruise ship you

02:02:48.820 can't you can't pull into port but if you're on a gay cruise unlike the people who are really shocked

02:02:55.360 uh there were these gay cruises that were that were going to um egypt no turkey sorry turkey

02:03:03.160 and it was a gay cruise and they were shocked when they pulled in and uh turkey

02:03:10.020 because therefore you know i'm sure a lot of the people on board were like hey i'm with hamas

02:03:15.480 you know they love gay people uh and so they they pull into the uh they pull into the to the dock and

02:03:24.400 they were shocked and horrified

02:03:26.900 that there were places in the Middle

02:03:28.820 East that don't accept gay people,

02:03:31.140 even a ship of gay people.

02:03:33.680 What kind of country is

02:03:34.840 that? It's rather

02:03:36.840 amazing. There was somebody also that

02:03:38.540 moved to Sweden. They were transgender

02:03:40.660 and they were like, I got to get out of America

02:03:42.780 because it's so hateful. So they moved

02:03:44.700 to the glorious land of Sweden

02:03:46.380 and now they're realizing, wow,

02:03:48.460 they're bringing in a lot of people

02:03:50.520 that are not Swedish and they

02:03:52.620 don't like transgender and now they feel that their life is at stake so they're moving back

02:03:57.300 to the evil united states it's weird a lot of lessons being learned a lot of lessons being

02:04:05.080 learned but those are the states that you should live in you know if you're looking for those

02:04:08.820 things and you're welcome cnbc i did the work for you uh so you know if you're looking to start a

02:04:14.840 business and you're a liquor store or a casino or a strip club don't start in hawaii utah alabama

02:04:20.960 South Carolina, or Idaho, because they're not interested in any of that.

02:04:25.380 And there's your business tip from the Glenn Beck program.

02:04:56.800 But lately, something's been getting in the way, and it's not your will.

02:04:59.640 It's maybe your back.

02:05:44.660 We don't need to agree on everything.

02:05:47.420 Just enough to stand shoulder to shoulder.

02:05:50.600 Glenn Beck is back in a minute.

02:06:08.440 Our chief of content for the Glenn Beck program is rock star Ricky, of course.

02:06:13.340 And Ricky, tomorrow, can we get in as many people that would have maybe some idea of what the president is going to talk about tomorrow at 9 p.m.?

02:06:24.540 He says this is the biggest news and that America needs to wake up no bigger news in America for free and fair elections than tomorrow night, what he's going to talk about and reveal.

02:06:36.080 You can't wait until 9 p.m. Eastern tomorrow night?

02:06:38.880 No, I can't.

02:06:39.600 You want to know ahead of time?

02:06:40.600 Yeah, I do.

02:06:41.280 I want to know ahead of time.

02:06:42.380 So we're going to try to get some people on that can give us some kind of sneak peek if possible.

02:06:47.000 Otherwise, just blind speculation on tomorrow's program.

02:06:51.500 Because this is, he apparently is going to be talking about Cuba,

02:06:55.220 also a foreign country that involved in the 2020 election to throw it.

02:06:59.840 And to the two senators from Georgia, he says are illegitimate because of election fraud.

02:07:07.260 And apparently he's going to prove it tomorrow night.

02:07:12.380 Oh!
