Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:27.800
We're going to talk a little bit about Epstein.
00:02:29.700
Even though it seems like everybody doesn't want us to talk about Epstein, we're going to talk about that.
00:02:33.420
More importantly, we are going to then quickly pivot to what the big story really is today,
00:02:41.660
There was something very dangerous, two things, very dangerous that have happened in the last few days,
00:02:50.500
We're going to do that and so much more on today's program.
00:02:55.360
First, let me tell you about American financing.
00:02:57.680
You've worked far too hard over the years and the decades that you have to keep everything that you have, keep it safe.
00:03:05.200
You've worked to save everything you can and to stay away from high-interest debt and credit cards,
00:03:16.180
You can't let that high-interest credit card debt that you may have had to use because of the economy and everything else,
00:03:26.900
If you have a mortgage, you might be able to take and refi the mortgage, borrow against your house, whatever it is,
00:03:37.320
but drive those rates down from a 20% interest rate to a 5% interest rate.
00:03:43.240
The average person that is doing this in this audience is saving about $800 a month.
00:03:50.400
Why don't you please consider calling American Financing today.
00:04:03.400
Okay, let's say hello to Stu and also to Jason Buttrell, and let me start here.
00:04:21.940
Yesterday, the president said something I thought a little shocking in the press conference.
00:04:27.560
While he was in a press conference with Pam Bondi, it was not a press conference.
00:04:30.920
It was a cabinet meeting, and by the way, this press conference lasted about two hours,
00:04:36.180
which is longer than I believe all of the cabinet meetings that Joe Biden held over four years.
00:04:46.260
I think just the press conference in that cabinet room was longer.
00:04:49.840
But he starts out, and one of the first questions is about Epstein and goes to Pam Bondi.
00:05:06.780
One of the biggest ones is whether he ever worked for an American or foreign intelligence agency.
00:05:13.060
The former labor secretary, who was Miami U.S. attorney, Alex Costa, he allegedly said that he did work for an intelligence agency.
00:05:25.360
And also, could you say why there was a minute missing from the jailhouse tape on the night of the Senate?
00:05:38.420
You're asking, we have Texas, we have this, we have all of the things.
00:05:43.400
And are people still talking about this guy, this creep?
00:05:54.100
I mean, I can't believe you're asking a question on Epstein at a time like this where we're having some of the greatest success and also tragedy with what happened in Texas.
00:06:10.700
That seemed odd to me because he ran on Jeffrey Epstein.
00:06:24.100
Um, the, and if that is true, then quite honestly, I stand by what I said yesterday, Pam Bondi should be fired for the way she rolled this out.
00:06:34.200
It's one of the worst, uh, rollouts of quote unquote, the truth I've ever seen.
00:06:41.180
Um, you know, just the, just, just, just the videotape alone.
00:06:45.560
Now she came out and she said, well, there's that one minute.
00:06:49.640
That one minute I don't think is enough to show, you know, anything.
00:06:55.440
And she said, it comes out and, uh, every year or every day there's a reset just before midnight.
00:07:01.420
I checked with, uh, you know, security experts.
00:07:06.580
Um, not all systems do that, but some systems do.
00:07:09.260
There's a whole bunch of things we could go down that road on, but we don't need to.
00:07:14.720
Why would you, how did you miss that one minute?
00:07:18.260
Uh, second thing, it's not pointing at the door.
00:07:21.560
It shows nothing, but we can nitpick for every, you know, for everything.
00:07:26.120
I personally think we have seen a massive change in the white house and in the, uh, the way
00:07:34.080
this was being handled at first, we're going to release everything.
00:07:40.700
Then I have it on my desk and I'm going to release it probably tomorrow.
00:07:44.400
And then when that didn't happen, then it was the FBI in New York.
00:07:47.500
This all Pam Bondi, the FBI in New York is thwarting our efforts.
00:07:51.160
And there are people in New York that are, that are trying to keep this information away
00:07:57.720
Nobody was arrested for trying to keep information away from her.
00:08:09.540
Um, because I think there's also something else going on.
00:08:12.040
I think, you know, and people are like, well, that's that, you know, Donald Trump.
00:08:17.780
If you believe Donald Trump, the guy has models hanging off of every single finger, uh, that
00:08:23.820
If he wants the models, he's got the models and they're all over age.
00:08:28.120
And it doesn't seem to me that he's ever shown any, any, I mean, just that's stupid
00:08:33.860
to believe that he would be with a 15 year old girl.
00:08:40.440
Um, and he had a falling out with Jeffrey Epstein and everything else.
00:08:46.960
And, and I think you're wildly misguided if you do, but to each his own, I guess.
00:08:58.820
I personally believe that he was a, an operative.
00:09:01.840
I think he was an intelligence operative and, uh, you know, you can say all you want, but
00:09:07.240
when you're president of the United States and the intelligence agencies come to you and
00:09:10.620
sit you down and say, okay, here's what happens, Mr. President, when you release this, you
00:09:15.620
have, let's just say there wasn't 5,000 people involved.
00:09:26.780
That says that he was an operative working for us and Prince Andrew was caught in this
00:09:32.940
So now the United States of America just took one of their biggest, oldest allies and rope
00:09:39.340
this guy into a honey trap for what, for what, Mr. President, for what?
00:09:46.660
Well, maybe we got nothing out of that, but this was a CIA operative operation and it just
00:09:56.280
Do you think the world is going to stand for that with everything else that we've done?
00:10:03.680
I don't know what decision I would make if I were president of the United States.
00:10:07.480
I would think, I would hope that I would say, release it because we have to clean it up.
00:10:17.740
And I'm making sure, and the only way to make sure that we disinfect is to fire all the
00:10:22.200
people that were involved, make sure that it doesn't happen again, and make an example
00:10:29.060
That's what I would hope the president would do.
00:10:30.620
But I have a feeling that he's not afraid of him being exposed.
00:10:35.000
He's not afraid of him being killed by the CIA.
00:10:38.960
I think he is making a decision that he believes is right for the country, but he's not going
00:10:47.380
Because Donald Trump is a very, very, very smart guy, and he knows how to handle the press
00:10:55.900
Instead of saying, Pam, you blew this rolling out, look, America, there's nothing going
00:11:03.080
And I'm going to get to work on other things, but I understand, because we talked about it
00:11:08.960
So I understand your interest in this, but there's nothing.
00:11:13.240
Instead, what he said was, what a stupid question that is.
00:11:19.200
With all the stuff that's going on, Pam, do you even want to answer that dumb question?
00:11:24.380
I just, I mean, and then looking right at the reporter, I can't believe you even asked
00:11:32.300
He made sure in that room there was only one question about Epstein.
00:11:37.360
Had he not done that, there would have been follow-up questions.
00:11:41.360
What Donald Trump just did was single one reporter out and say, you're going to be that stupid
00:11:50.980
Now nobody wants to ask the follow-up question.
00:12:01.360
But I have a feeling, until you have somebody like Schellenberger that are going to dedicate
00:12:07.380
their whole thing to exposing this, because I do think there's stuff here.
00:12:12.420
But until you have Schellenberger or somebody like that going after it and really doing,
00:12:19.300
you know, 24-7 kind of gumshoe work, I don't think you're going to find anything else.
00:12:35.040
But that's all the information we're going to get officially.
00:12:40.740
Now, let me change to another story that has been brewing since July 4th that is really
00:12:47.800
And as the days go on, it gets more and more important.
00:12:55.160
And this is looking more and more well-coordinated.
00:13:01.460
And there are three stories that I want to tie together that will show you what is coming.
00:13:07.100
We can talk about Epstein, and I think it's very important that we do.
00:13:11.900
We can talk about Epstein, but that is only going to solve what was in the past as well
00:13:26.420
And I think we need to talk about this one in depth today so you are prepared because
00:13:35.140
I think we're on the verge of a massive change in tactics here in the United States.
00:13:43.680
First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
00:13:46.440
You know, when I leave the studio, you know, after a four-hour shift, I mean, I am all tuckered
00:13:52.560
I mean, it's basically, it's a full-body workout, you know.
00:13:59.620
That's half an hour commute to the studio, then a half-hour commute back.
00:14:05.820
So all I want to do when I get home is just be into something cool and comfortable, you
00:14:15.980
I'm talking about Cozy Earth, their sheets, their pajamas, their bathrobes, everything.
00:14:23.380
It's enough to make me forget I just spent the day yelling about the Federal Reserve.
00:14:36.780
Don't miss your chance to score the best-selling items at a best price.
00:14:42.260
They've offered 45% off their temperature-regulating sheets and their apparel and everything else.
00:14:51.460
So for better sleep and a cooler summer, what's stopping you?
00:15:13.540
Let me take you back to Prairie Earth Detention Center.
00:15:16.840
Now, this is like 25 miles outside of Dallas, Texas.
00:15:22.620
And on July 4th at night, about 10 to 12 people, all in black garb,
00:15:28.520
dressed really in military garb and with military gear,
00:15:37.060
the flak jackets, you know, bulletproof vests, et cetera, et cetera.
00:15:41.120
10 to 12 people come, and they start firing fireworks at the facility.
00:15:47.280
Okay, then the crowd kind of breaks up a little bit.
00:15:50.780
They kind of, there's two people that break off to the side,
00:15:53.400
and they go after these ICE vehicles, and they start, you know,
00:16:05.360
Two of them come out unarmed, and they come out to try to get the guys
00:16:09.940
to stop spray-painting the trucks and the vans, et cetera, et cetera.
00:16:14.760
When they do, snipers in the woods, unseen until now,
00:16:21.400
snipers in the woods start firing at these guys.
00:16:38.500
Jason is in, because we've been talking about it yesterday,
00:16:47.680
that this is a change now that we're going to start seeing
00:16:53.440
because we've got two other stories to link to this.
00:16:59.300
I'm just shocked that this is not getting a lot more,
00:17:19.160
It sounds like you've got a couple of guys in the woods,
00:17:20.780
you've got 10 or 15 people throwing off fireworks,
00:17:28.960
I mean, if you've ever seen, like, a military movie,
00:17:33.720
this is the kind of plan that they would actually execute.
00:17:40.480
but this is not just a bunch of random people with no plan
00:17:43.260
that decided to piss off the ICE facility and get some news.
00:17:46.680
They had a force in reserve out in the woods concealed.
00:17:59.200
The people that were in reserve waited for all of this to happen.
00:18:04.940
They didn't join in, you know, with, like, an anger-rage mob.
00:18:10.700
This was a step-by-step-by-step plan to hurt someone.
00:18:20.680
I know there's a lot of veterans right now that are listening
00:18:23.200
and saying, wait a minute, this sounds very, very familiar.
00:18:26.780
This kind of sounds like what I saw in Afghanistan.
00:18:28.720
This kind of sounds like what I saw in Fallujah.
00:18:40.320
This has now changed towards military operations,
00:18:49.820
thugs that are, you know, getting wild and then shooting things up.
00:18:56.380
this was a well-thought-out plan to draw people out.
00:19:12.880
And the plans are starting to go towards military
00:19:34.820
This is an actual story headline I read last week.
00:19:44.120
USAID was started by the Kennedy administration,
00:19:48.340
and it might have been started with good intent,
00:20:11.040
that started color revolutions all over the world,
00:50:55.760
all surrounding the perimeter in very close range
00:51:02.400
communication set up between the different agencies
00:51:09.320
staffed and given that they know this information
00:51:15.980
how and is this even possible so that he's also
00:51:25.120
don't talk about this enough in a meaningful way
00:51:29.180
in how we handle mental illness in this country
00:51:34.340
we shove it aside we pretend it's not happening
00:51:37.980
we try to medicate it mostly people try to ignore it
00:51:42.040
and this is a young man for all intents and purposes
00:51:50.100
that after covid and all the isolation that went along
00:51:56.200
with that he began to unravel and be and that unraveling
00:52:01.780
happened at a warp speed in the last six months of his life
00:52:06.500
and he was this you know this should have been a red flag to someone who cared
00:52:11.660
about him he's at the gun range almost every day
00:52:15.000
went down to the gun range and checked the logs
00:52:17.460
he is there almost every day and he's there not just on
00:52:21.680
during the you know a regular day but he's also there on days like
00:52:27.520
thanksgiving and christmas and valentine's day that tells you this
00:52:33.200
is someone that is lonely and this is someone is isolated and this
00:52:38.320
is someone who has no support system around him
00:52:41.700
the challenge was hang on hang on hang on just a second i i could see
00:52:45.560
because i'm you know i'm a parent i could see as a parent you know you don't
00:52:50.980
understand how kids are growing up today you don't understand the world they
00:52:54.180
live in at all and i could see i mean i used to
00:53:00.120
13 14 15 years old i was gone all the holidays i spent it and
00:53:04.960
you could say well he's isolated he's lonely or you could say
00:53:08.740
he's just really into this and he is you know doing something about it and
00:53:13.960
it's what he loves and let's let him get him through this period
00:53:26.360
and and that means there's a vulnerability there
00:53:31.300
right and and and as a parent we always we're always keenly aware of
00:53:38.540
vulnerabilities in our children and and or if we have friends and and they
00:53:43.820
meaning mean nothing but they also mean mean something
00:53:52.340
problem is just the sort of collapse of the american family
00:53:55.620
and and and and how we take care of our children and how we watch our
00:54:05.260
of them right is that how we medicate them right is that how we
00:54:09.420
get them to just be calm and quiet and go in another room because we don't want
00:54:13.640
to deal with it and and so can i can i can i present
00:54:17.920
another option here and it's just because i just finished raising two
00:54:24.300
because you want to just go in the other room be quiet
00:54:26.300
you have no idea selena i i raised uh four kids
00:54:31.860
a generation apart and uh i gotta tell you raising the first set
00:54:41.160
they're and it's totally different from my childhood
00:54:48.600
this is not a good thing but how do i deal with this
00:54:52.160
without setting making things worse how do i you know what kind of space do i give
00:54:58.300
them because they are teenagers and they have to rebel how do i remain in
00:55:02.800
their life i mean there it is so complex now to be able to
00:55:06.900
raise teenagers and you are seeing major signs but
00:55:10.840
you don't necessarily know that that's a major sign
00:55:14.120
or if it is you don't have any idea how to deal with it
00:55:17.660
absolutely you know in in the book i i have the transcript
00:55:23.840
of of his father calling the police and you can tell in that conversation and
00:55:32.320
in the details that he is giving the 9-1-1 operator
00:55:35.720
that he had a feeling something was going on with his son
00:55:40.260
that he he reveals it and every parent will read that and say
00:55:46.260
and and in every parent that's had a child that they've been concerned about
00:55:50.560
will read that and say he knew something was wrong
00:55:54.120
and this this is a young man by the way his grandfather
00:55:57.860
was a vietnam war not just a vietnam war veteran he was a vietnam war
00:56:07.180
a man in the community very involved in the community
00:56:10.560
when he passed away um 10 years before um um last year
00:56:16.640
you know he wrote in the obituary his great love for his grandson
00:56:21.440
and you fast forward to today where that the his wife his thomas crooks
00:56:29.620
and that thomas matthew crooks grandmother what says
00:56:33.320
she wants nothing to do with this family and hasn't for a while
00:56:37.660
so what happened you know and and part of the challenge
00:56:44.540
in in reporting about him is that the family lawyered up
00:56:49.500
um he was cremated and um and and the secret service was giving
00:56:57.100
absolutely no information there's only so many now i know there's
00:57:01.620
other investigative journalists i i will be the first to say
00:57:04.780
that is not my my skill set you know i can go so far
00:57:10.240
but but you know records and things like that but you know
00:57:13.840
the way that they can do it like that yeah um that's not
00:57:18.720
you know my my biggest skill set but you know going into the community
00:57:29.040
it paints a picture that you know in hindsight you could say
00:57:41.940
the problem with this young man is that he left no digital footprint
00:57:50.520
which is very rare that weird that is for someone in his age
00:57:55.440
it could be as simple i have gone back and forth in my in my head and in
00:58:00.700
conversations with people it could be as simple um in in his decline in mental
00:58:11.900
team because his shot was so bad and he didn't make the team
00:58:15.680
just a couple years earlier and he wanted to prove to everyone
00:58:20.180
that he was a good shot and and there doesn't seem to be any evidence
00:58:25.740
that this was politically motivated because he he was he had registered as a
00:58:32.780
republican but he also demonstrated or um gave money to democrats so it doesn't
00:58:40.580
appear to be ideological as much as i'm gonna to me this is my
00:58:46.060
takeaway i'm gonna prove to everyone i am good at this
00:58:50.160
i am a sharpshooter and screw everyone that laughed at me that day
00:58:54.820
you know think about the movie carrie right everybody's laughing yes right
00:59:00.920
think about that and the vulnerability of that teenager
00:59:03.680
and nobody's laughing anymore i made those shots
00:59:08.040
so um what about the the phones that had connections to you know foreign you know
00:59:19.380
operatives or whatever that was anything there selena
00:59:24.000
not that we know of but i do know that that this is something that's still being
00:59:29.100
investigated um and still being uncovered and i think
00:59:33.140
part of the reason why it's still being investigated
00:59:41.540
so we have several things going on it seems at once um including
00:59:52.200
the press as you said yesterday you were on the ground with a secret service agent
00:59:58.480
uh on top of you you're hearing the president you're seeing the blood
01:00:03.320
and reporters are already saying that the president was hit by a shard of glass
01:00:08.340
yeah um there was no there was no real interest in pursuing this story because they knew i think
01:00:16.400
they knew this was going to do really good things for his campaign
01:00:20.040
yeah i think they they saw this and and and looked at it and said oh boy
01:00:27.080
this is this is going to have an impact and they they did whatever they could
01:00:34.880
to muffle it i mean three days later we're talking about joe biden dropping out as the biggest story
01:00:41.500
and i'm thinking i'm still got bruises all over myself wondering how are we not talking about this
01:00:59.480
you read throughout the book as i continue to cover this election
01:01:08.660
in ways that people when they read this book they will say
01:01:12.460
i i had i hadn't why weren't people reporting this
01:01:16.120
you know this you know and and it was so frustrating for me
01:01:21.620
i i sometimes imagine myself as sort of like snoopy
01:01:25.340
jumping up and down and screaming and nobody's hearing me
01:01:33.060
you know i also covered this uh the harris campaign
01:01:36.760
and the unbelievable decisions that they made that nobody wrote about
01:01:43.140
nobody covered nobody thought this is a red flag
01:01:46.720
um okay hang on we're gonna get into that here just to say hang on hang on hang on
01:01:50.660
let me take a quick break we'll get back with selena zito the name of the book is butler
01:01:54.580
butler it's really good pre-born you may never meet necessarily the young woman that you
01:02:01.160
may have helped uh you may save her life and her child's life at the exact same time when she's
01:02:07.960
really in trouble you're saving but you don't necessarily meet but when a woman faces an unplanned
01:02:13.200
pregnancy it's not just a sudden medical decision she faces it's an emotional and spiritual crossroads
01:02:19.060
she's afraid she's alone and there you are without even being there
01:02:22.580
she's been sold a solution maybe everybody else in her life has given her that doesn't bring her peace
01:02:28.840
it only brings her lifelong regret and the dirty little secret about abortion is it's never a
01:02:33.240
get out of jail free card it's been hyped up to be that by the left but it's not pre-born
01:02:38.000
with you are there in that moment offering a free ultrasound to help that woman see her child
01:02:43.660
hear the heartbeat and find hope again these moments change lives in fact over half the women
01:02:49.200
who see that ultrasound choose life and here's the thing pre-born doesn't take a dime of government
01:02:54.260
money nor will they ever every ultrasound is funded exactly from people just like you will you stand
01:03:00.380
with pre-born help a mom and the child one ultrasound is only 28 dollars five or 140 dollars
01:03:06.400
to donate just dial pound 250 say the keyword baby that's pound 250 keyword baby or visit pre-born.com
01:03:12.780
slash beck that's pre-born.com slash beck sponsored by pre-born 10 seconds station id and we're back with
01:03:18.980
selena zina selena i only have a couple more minutes here tell me tell me what you mean by
01:03:33.480
what was happening that was unreal by the uh kamala harris campaign so harris spent the bulk of her time
01:03:40.200
in pennsylvania and an oversized amount of time in pittsburgh the western part of the state is more
01:03:46.080
more conservative more excited um to vote and more influential in the decision of who becomes
01:03:52.000
president and in that time she barely interacted with voters she didn't do the things that are
01:04:00.200
necessary to win over someone who is uncertain every event was closed to to the public most of them were
01:04:09.520
attended by the sei social justice union these are people were already going to vote for her
01:04:15.460
and so there's no ability for people to kick the tires she also made decisions there's this famous
01:04:22.300
um uh neighborhood in pittsburgh i know you've been there because you ordered promancies from there
01:04:27.860
and and it is it is a it's called the strip district there are 120 plus businesses there
01:04:35.600
they're all of them are small businesses except for one she picks the one that's a franchise it's called
01:04:42.000
pennsy's and pennsy's and pennsy's is is so against republicans it's it it has it's on the splash page
01:04:51.380
of the business that the that the owner hates republicans and they are not welcome that's where she chooses
01:04:57.900
to go in and do a stage event and not it shows the it shows the voter she is not interested
01:05:06.340
in someone that's independent or conservative she is not interested in you and she is more interested
01:05:13.280
in someone that only shares her beliefs like those small details matter they matter to a voter
01:05:21.460
especially someone very local they see her at pennsy's there's a sign there that says republicans
01:05:27.400
aren't welcome and that's where she goes uh selena is a great book and it's more than i thought it was
01:05:34.960
going to be i thought it was just going to be about uh the president getting shot and the aftermath of
01:05:39.680
that but you have woven such a great story on who the american people are how this dramatically changed
01:05:46.680
the campaign um in so many different i mean it was like it just set off a chain of dominoes
01:05:52.560
um and changed and brought us where we are today so thank you for that selena zito thank you so much

welcome to the glennbeck program we're very glad you're here jason buttrell is uh with us
01:08:25.280
our chief researcher uh and uh jason what are we doing uh is today tuesday or today's wednesday
01:08:32.940
right wednesday believe so yeah uh what are we doing on today's uh tv show tonight we're looking
01:08:38.780
at uh the potential new mayor of uh new york city uh mom donnie and uh this gathering storm of almost
01:08:46.640
accepted communism and socialism in america it's uh it's not going away and and what are the uh what are
01:08:53.380
the potential cues that we can take from what this means for us in the future uh well as you couple
01:08:59.480
that with what we talked about in the first hour of the podcast where uh the left is changing and
01:09:05.160
they're starting to develop uh military strategies um as we saw evidenced uh on the july 4th weekend
01:09:12.340
where um the left came out in black uh battle gear really and um did something that really is a
01:09:23.100
military operation and and shot uh members of the ice team uh just 25 miles out of dallas you might
01:09:30.240
not have heard about it because well it happened over the holiday and the media doesn't care but we
01:09:36.100
talked about it at length in our number one coupled with two other stories that are very very disturbing
01:09:41.840
that shows what's coming um now you add the communist part of it and you're starting to see
01:09:48.180
how we are being surrounded um we have the communists the anarchists the socialists the islamists
01:09:58.820
and the radicals that's what my chalkboard said would all team up and i said they don't necessarily
01:10:05.960
aren't going to plan it together uh which shockingly many of them have um but they are all going to
01:10:13.020
recognize a time it's go time now now now go get them and we're at that time and it is critical that
01:10:20.020
you understand and how our our school systems have completely failed us you know that nobody knows
01:10:29.040
what communism is communism killed more people than nazism did by far communism has killed more more
01:10:36.620
people in the last 100 years than uh i'm pretty sure all of the disease in the world uh combined i
01:10:45.580
mean it is it's crazy how deadly that is and yet we're not teaching any of that to our kids and they
01:10:53.380
are here now and they have coupled with the radicals and the islamists and we are going to see it all
01:10:59.460
tonight yeah i'm i'm so struck by some of the shows we've done just over the past year to two years
01:11:06.180
that are just kind of all coming together we did a show it was a wednesday night special talking about
01:11:10.140
how there were radicals this was back during like the blm uh antifa yeah period uh talking about how
01:11:16.420
some of these radicals were quoting from communists in syria and actually getting training i don't know
01:11:22.300
if you remember this but getting training from the communist fighters the kurds in northern syria
01:11:27.080
um i think about you know stew talking about usaid um you remember that story that we did the show we
01:11:32.680
did another wednesday night special we were talking about um obama's ambassador to moscow remember him
01:11:38.760
michael mcfall um before michael mcfall even met with vladimir putin as our ambassador um he met with
01:11:46.960
the people the street activists he met with them before he met with putin and i just want to quote this
01:11:53.600
from a russian publication this is what he told them he said quote most people most of the specialists
01:11:58.800
in russia are diplomats specialists in security arms control russian culture i'm neither i'm an
01:12:04.580
expert on democracy anti-dictatorial movements revolutions he said this to the uh to the russian
01:12:13.800
people and then he also this is something that we pointed out he created something called the seven
01:12:18.920
pillars which was how to overthrow a government in a color revolution these are the kinds of people
01:12:25.840
that even to this day glenn are still praising us i can't remember the seven pillars do you happen
01:12:32.760
to have them off the top of your head the seven pillars i'm just so nerdy that i do glenn i have
01:12:37.780
them right here okay of course you do so i think this is interesting in the context these would be used
01:12:43.700
as we move towards an election so think about this these strategies being used let's say during the
01:12:51.020
midterms or during the next election number one a semi-autocratic rather than fully autocratic regime
01:12:57.660
that's what they need that they want to show that number two an unpopular incumbent make him as
01:13:04.280
unpopular as possible that you use this for the street movements the uh you know the ice protests all
01:13:10.120
that stuff could they make him more unpopular than he's been made he's the most he's the most beloved
01:13:16.180
and hated man in the country yeah um number three a united and organized opposition
01:13:23.040
got that forming that to this as we speak forming number four an ability to quickly drive home the point
01:13:30.660
that voting results were falsified what they accused us of i guarantee you they are going to
01:13:39.400
again guaranteed number five this is kind of funny enough independent media to inform citizens
01:13:47.940
about the falsified vote do they have uh biased propaganda like media on their side i'm not sure
01:13:55.880
um number six a political opposition capable of mobilizing tens of thousands or more demonstrators
01:14:03.280
to protest the fraud look at yeah look at that look at this look at this so this is the way usa id
01:14:11.240
this is the way you know color revolutions are done we have all of this stuff happening on our streets
01:14:17.300
right now and they are starting to go become more militaristic in its nature and it's not just here in
01:14:23.320
america can we play uh cut seven this is a montage uh of the protests that are happening all around
01:14:32.720
mexico city and what a surprise they're mostly peaceful if you discount smashing windows and looting
01:14:43.100
turning a lot of that material into pieces so it's mostly peaceful spelled differently yeah yeah
01:14:52.280
so what is it they're protesting this looks like you can see this in any city in america now
01:14:57.060
uh from time to time uh what is it they're protesting
01:15:00.960
no more gringos get rid of the gringos no more americans look glenn death to america does not mean
01:15:18.720
anything it's got nothing to do with killing americans of course no it's just it's about the idea
01:15:26.120
that gringos present that's all get rid of the white people no more white people no more americans
01:15:32.540
that's what they're saying now that's what the radical left is saying it's funny because that's
01:15:37.460
really what the radical left is saying here in america as well this is a global operation just
01:15:43.780
as i told you it would be it is a global operation uh to destabilize the entire western world and collapse
01:15:51.720
us and i have been thinking an awful lot about by the way jason you know the everything you just
01:15:57.800
said about the shows that we did all i could think of is i cannot wait for january um because
01:16:03.360
we are developing a system to where uh all of that information on all of the shows it'll be at your
01:16:09.540
fingertips i could have done it 25 years ago and you won't you won't even know how what to ask for
01:16:16.740
you'll be able to ask for it this is not in january it'll first be internally facing uh just because
01:16:22.900
of the the the computational expense um but we'll be able to say what did glenn say anything about this
01:16:32.920
and then can you go deep on it and it will go and search my entire history and bring all of the
01:16:39.380
connections all of the documents everything that you need to be able to study it and you'll be able to
01:16:45.580
apply it to new stories so you'll see the history of every you missed a show you won't have to worry
01:16:51.520
about it you'll be able to you'll be able to access all of it without even knowing what to ask for
01:16:56.940
right now we have to know what to ask for how many times how long do we wait going wait we that wasn't
01:17:03.260
exactly the right phrasing what was the right phrasing that will bring this script up or bring this show
01:17:09.880
up now we don't have to do that uh as of january it's all part of this new project that i'm uh dealing
01:17:15.820
with but let me um let me go back to the real story on how do we save our nation and the only way to
01:17:28.100
save our nation is to turn the hearts of people honestly back to god but at least back to truth
01:17:34.900
how do you do that you'll notice one of the the pillars there and this is all sol alinsky too
01:17:43.940
is um you have to paint the incumbent as a fascist dictator once you do that it is really hard to go
01:17:54.780
back and it's also hard to control it and this is what we're seeing now from the left yesterday i told
01:17:59.740
you about how democratic leadership democrats elected politicians that are democrat are saying
01:18:06.260
they are afraid of their own constituents now because they're all starting to call for blood
01:18:11.180
well of course they are you cannot paint somebody as adolf hitler and then and say we have to do
01:18:18.200
everything we can to stop them and and be preaching the ends justify the means at the same time and not
01:18:25.040
expect people to say you're not doing enough you i mean even if you have to get shot you have to get
01:18:31.860
shot that's what their own constituents are telling people that you know some of you may have to die to
01:18:38.100
make the point that's a little terrifying i don't think you can change those people and i honestly don't
01:18:47.220
even know if we can change the people that we love so much because people are so dead set on
01:18:52.620
they're right we can never become those people um and i've been thinking a lot about do you remember
01:19:00.300
the books do uh positioning the battleground of your mind yeah came out in the 80s maybe yeah and it was
01:19:09.140
right around the cola wars and it actually i if i remember right it helped put it helped put pepsi
01:19:16.020
into a leadership position with coke for at least a while they were the choice of a new generation
01:19:22.540
remember that michael jackson and everything else and it brought them at least they may have passed
01:19:28.560
them for a while but at least it brought them to parody which way they were a distant it's what
01:19:32.160
inspired new coke right yes that whole change yes which eventually obviously all of it okay and the
01:19:39.380
main point of it was if i remember correctly is perception versus reality
01:19:45.280
many times in the battleground of your mind you perceive something and that is not reality
01:19:55.380
it's it's how you perceive it and this book i have to go back and read it um but if i remember i
01:20:06.160
remember i'm drawing on something i read in 1980 um the idea is you you have to understand that in
01:20:15.260
your uh competitor's mind or in the minds of others that is reality they perceive it that way they
01:20:25.580
perceive donald trump as a dictator so it is their reality how do you come in and challenge their
01:20:34.680
reality and when it is bound up in their life or death that's really hard to do especially if
01:20:44.880
you have also been tied in their perception their reality is that you're part of the problem that you
01:20:53.280
they can't trust anything that you say because you're just like him
01:20:58.460
that's what we're facing and it's not with cola wars it's going to be with actual street wars if
01:21:10.880
we're not careful we could go into civil war because you're now dealing with half the population that
01:21:20.060
says they have to be either rebooted retrained or we just have to get rid of them we have to kill
01:21:28.840
them that by the way is fascism and communism that's totalitarianism and if donald trump would ever
01:21:39.940
say anything like that about the other side i would hope that every single one of us would be saying
01:21:44.260
uh no we're not going to kill the other side we're not going to silence them and we're certainly not
01:21:50.440
going to put them in some sort of a camp but you've already heard those suggestions from the left
01:22:01.300
we have to start looking at this fight differently because i think we're in the real we're in the real
01:22:14.760
world we're the ones looking at reality truth hopefully is our reality
01:22:24.520
you're not going to win this by playing the same game that we have been playing
01:22:34.800
you might get donald trump in you might get your team
01:22:43.740
but how is it we're going to make these inroads and bring people back together
01:22:51.000
especially when you have forces on the inside that as we told you in our number one of this
01:22:58.260
broadcast and we're going to tell you tonight these forces inside are hell-bent on making sure
01:23:03.080
that reality stays exactly how they perceive it all right back in just a second let me tell you
01:23:10.060
about the uh international fellowship of christians and jews the international fellowship uh you know
01:23:15.780
wants you to look beyond the headlines you know ceasefire well hopefully silence maybe forthcoming peace
01:23:24.940
um you know hopefully this is over i don't know if it will but ordinary men and women working people
01:23:32.840
and their families their homes have been reduced to rubble their neighborhoods have been shredded by the
01:23:37.820
missiles that have gotten through many of their lives have been shattered by grief displacement trauma
01:23:42.220
you know we could you know people say well you don't care about the palestinians of course we do
01:23:46.580
of course we do but did you see the aid workers that were trying to distribute uh aid just what was it last
01:23:52.900
week and they were all shot by hamas they opened fire tried to kill them all i mean you'd only do so much
01:24:00.160
israel on the other hand uh we have the international fellowship of christians and jews that is there
01:24:06.800
trying to make things better they're on the ground every single day and they surprise they supply
01:24:12.300
emergency food and shelter and medical supplies so if you can help now is the time to stand with
01:24:17.800
israel's most innocent and vulnerable rush your gift now to 888-488-IFCJ 888-488-IFCJ or online at
01:24:29.660
well i guess we'll give you a minute to let all that sink in more glenn beck coming up
01:24:41.020
real quick this is the height of hypocrisy aoc's brother um took to instagram to say ah celebrating
01:25:09.020
july 4th for what for whom what a time to be asleep uh asleep here we failed our way into
01:25:15.500
modern authoritarianism and yet he somehow another poor poor distressed man uh was saying that uh from
01:25:23.000
a boat on lake como so apparently hasn't heard his bank account uh and nobody arrested him for saying
01:25:32.160
those things glenn beck when i found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from winners i
01:25:40.880
started wondering is every fabulous item i see from winners like that woman over there with the
01:25:46.980
designer jeans are those from winners oh are those beautiful gold earrings did she pay full price or
01:25:53.560
that leather tote or that cashmere sweater or those knee-high boots that dress that jacket those shoes
01:25:59.400
is anyone paying full price for anything stop wondering start winning winners find fabulous for
01:26:06.360
less so how far would you go to protect yourself or someone you love would you fight back would you
01:26:13.660
hurt somebody would you kill i know i would if one of my loved ones was at stake or my life was at stake
01:26:19.900
you bet i would but there is another option um and especially if it's not as dire uh and it's farther
01:26:27.020
away could you push that off yeah the burn it launcher that's what they offer it's a non-lethal
01:26:31.780
self-defense tool that looks and feels like a firearm but it doesn't fire bullets it fires hard
01:26:37.720
pepper-filled projectiles and hard pepper-filled or tear gas filled uh projectiles that incapacitate
01:26:45.380
an attacker at a distance giving you time to escape i gotta tell you even if it weren't at a distance i'd
01:26:50.860
a distance i'd rather hit you know them right close even if it causes the tear gas to explode in
01:26:56.520
my face as well as there and we're both on the ground for 45 minutes it's better than killing
01:27:00.360
somebody um especially if you have the option not to take action right now protect what's important

Now if at any time in the last week you've listened to anybody on the left
01:28:21.080
they're busy telling you about how the National Weather Service is being shut down by Donald Trump
01:28:28.180
Yeah, it makes perfect sense because who needs the weather?
01:28:34.740
They said that Donald Trump, you know, fired people in the National Weather Service
01:28:40.280
and so when they were doing Texas they didn't have enough people there.
01:28:44.280
They usually have two people on duty that night.
01:28:46.100
They had five people on duty because they were prepared for this.
01:28:51.160
I mean, how far down the rabbit hole do you have to be for Whoopi Goldberg to look at you and go,
01:28:58.480
Even she said yesterday Donald Trump had nothing to do with it.
01:29:01.700
She's like, I can't believe this is coming out of my mouth but I have to say it.
01:29:10.080
The other thing now that is going around is that cloud seeding, cloud seeding, it killed all those people.
01:29:23.300
I do know somebody who knows an awful lot about it.
01:29:26.220
In fact, I believe it was his company that did the cloud seeding just about, I think, a county away, just a couple of days before this happened.
01:29:36.900
So we want to talk to him because let's hear what his answer is.
01:29:40.060
Did this have anything to do with cloud seeding?
01:29:51.320
You go looking for a ranch or a suitcase and you end up finding your childhood.
01:29:57.240
Now that you're an adult and you're not afraid and just running to the string to pull the light on, you've got, you know, stuff that you have forgotten about.
01:30:04.520
Your mom's voice, pictures of your childhood, Christmas, you know, 1994 with the kids, whatever it is.
01:30:18.580
It's all going to destroy all of those things and Legacy Box can help you preserve your family's history by digitizing all the tapes and the reels and the photos and the film before they're gone forever.
01:30:32.220
You fill it with memories and then their team converts all of it into beautiful, shareable digital files.
01:30:39.680
It's about making sure it's possible to watch that footage together on the couch and watch it with your kids.
01:30:45.800
Hear the laugh that you thought you had forgotten.
01:30:52.440
That's what Legacy Box save and it is worth doing.
01:30:57.540

01:31:26.380
And again, still, my heart and prayers go out to all the people of Texas.
01:31:32.740
And though we didn't have anything to do with the flooding, I still am praying for everybody affected by it.
01:31:38.360
It has got to be pretty disturbing for you to hear that you are being blamed for, you know, cloud seeding and knowing science.
01:31:50.000
I have to tell you, I don't know much about cloud seeding.
01:31:53.400
It bothers me what I see over in England, but I, again, haven't taken the time to really look into it.
01:32:00.500
So explain what cloud seeding does and how you know you didn't have anything to do with that.
01:32:06.180
Yeah, I can also explain to you what cloud seeding does and what cloud seeding is not, right?
01:32:13.200
Because you're referencing something from England that we can talk about in a second.
01:32:15.820
So cloud seeding is a technology developed in the United States in the 1940s to increase water supply for farms, for ecosystem conservation, for reservoirs, for residences, and also our industries.
01:32:29.000
It relies on identifying liquid in clouds and then releasing particulate, specifically silver iodide, into those clouds that the water freezes onto, into big snowflakes, and then become heavy enough to fall as rain.
01:32:43.280
Cloud seeding has been going on in the United States for decades.
01:32:47.660
It, again, is paid for by farmers and utilities and government entities that want more water for their constituents.
01:32:54.240
Hang on just a second. So I live up in the high desert in the summer, and I have a farm and a ranch, and we pray for rain every year, but we're in the high desert.
01:33:05.720
It wouldn't work here because we don't have the clouds, right?
01:33:09.360
So, first of all, I think you should keep praying for rain.
01:33:12.460
I'm grateful to have gotten saved when I was 20 years old and baptized in Dallas, actually.
01:33:19.520
I think that, like, this is all God's world, and it's our responsibility to steward it, right?
01:33:24.820
And insofar as we can help make more water for people and ecosystems here, that's my primary interest.
01:33:30.600
Just because you're in the high desert doesn't mean that you can't have cloud seeding.
01:33:34.120
If there aren't clouds, then you can't make it rain more, but sometimes there are.
01:33:38.380
And also, the aquifers nearby are recharged from cloudier regions not so far away, and so you can actually benefit from programs nearby as well.
01:33:46.440
Now, to clarify, cloud seeding, the best operations we've ever seen from either Rainmaker's own work or the National Center for Atmospheric Research or other institutions can produce tens of millions of gallons of precipitation distributed over hundreds of square miles over the course of about an hour or two.
01:34:06.640
The remnants of Tropical Storm Berry that blew in and caused the flooding, that storm dumped trillions of gallons.
01:34:14.940
It's about a million times less than what the biggest and best cloud seeding operations can do right now.
01:34:20.680
Now, that said as well, when you referenced England, right, cloud seeding is not solar radiation modification, nor is it chemtrails, right?
01:34:29.460
Solar radiation modification is a real technology that people are investigating and developing and increasingly deploying to release reflective particles into the upper atmosphere to cool down the planet, to dim the sun and cool the planet down.
01:34:42.240
Cloud seeding, although it is also in the atmosphere, I think that it's something that deserves a ton of scrutiny.
01:34:53.800
Cloud seeding requires existing puffy clouds full of water to be there in order to make them precipitate a little bit more.
01:35:01.560
Now, if you see a long streak in the sky behind an airplane, that also is not cloud seeding.
01:35:07.100
Whether that's a natural contrail or a chemtrail, I haven't seen any evidence to suggest that chemtrails are malevolently being put down by the government or some other nefarious party.
01:35:17.020
But regardless of which it is, a chemtrail or a contrail, it has nothing to do with cloud seeding either because producing clouds is not what cloud seeding does.
01:35:25.640
Cloud seeding relies on existing clouds to make them rain more.
01:35:28.380
And those long streaks in the sky, those are mostly ice.
01:35:32.180
There's not enough water in them to seed in the first place.
01:35:34.600
And they're also like 20,000 feet higher in the atmosphere than where all of our cloud seeding operations take place.
01:35:40.020
Okay, so you went out what day, Thursday, and cloud seeded in Texas?
01:35:47.940
July 2nd, we flew about a 20-minute flight where we seeded two clouds, two small clouds with about 70 grams worth of silver iodide.
01:36:00.900
And those clouds dissipated about two hours after the event.
01:36:07.340
Okay, and they dissipated, and they don't remain up in the atmosphere, right?
01:36:21.500
They could not have stayed suspended in the atmosphere by the time that the flooding started happening.
01:36:27.740
Okay, and then the flood, that was a storm that rolls in and was not part of the system that you seeded, correct?
01:36:39.500
And also, it's worth noting that a lot of people have said, well, this shouldn't go on without any oversight.
01:36:45.820
And I think that there should be even more regulatory scrutiny and oversight and reporting requirements so that these operations are totally transparent.
01:36:52.740
But there actually are regulations in Texas through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation that have suspension criteria.
01:37:01.100
And suspension criteria are these meteorological conditions, these weather conditions, these issuances and notifications from the National Weather Service that say, hey, if there is a flash flood warning, if the soil is already too saturated, if cloud seeding would cause any flooding, you have to suspend operations.
01:37:18.420
And not only did we suspend operations in adherence with the regulations from the state of Texas, but we actually, because our meteorologists were very proactive, suspended operations a day in advance of any warnings that would have regulatorily mandated us to.
01:37:32.220
Because we at Rainmaker earnestly believe that, like, this is God's kingdom to steward, and it is our job to do no harm and do as much good as we can.
01:37:42.100
And so if we can bias towards being cautious, not so cautious that we ban this technology and prevent farmers from having water from it, but if we can be cautious in our operations such that we mitigate any potential for any damage, which we did and do, I'm all for that.
01:37:58.660
That's what everybody's opinion is at my company.
01:38:01.900
So I know China is doing cloud seeding up in the mountains to get much more snow up in the mountains so then they have the water, the runoff, et cetera, et cetera.
01:38:18.460
So China, just for context, the United States a year ago spent $2.4 million on cloud seeding research to investigate how to produce more water for American farms, to save the Colorado River, to refill our aquifers.
01:38:37.660
China has an annual budget of $1.4 billion for cloud seeding and weather modification.
01:38:44.540
They have 35,000 employees in their weather modification office.
01:38:48.420
They have two universities that offer bachelor's degrees in weather engineering, not meteorology, not atmospheric science, but specifically how to engineer the weather.
01:38:56.760
And if the United States bans this technology wholesale, if we don't regulate it and monitor where it's going on so that we have a transparent account of the activities, not only will we be behind China, but we won't have regulatory statutes or the capability to monitor who is modifying the weather in the United States and otherwise.
01:39:15.000
Okay, so tell me the difference between weather modification, which sounds scary, and cloud seeding.
01:39:24.440
I think the bigger distinction to make is between weather modification, which cloud seeding is a kind of, and geoengineering, right?
01:39:33.420
So cloud seeding is a way to make more water, right?
01:39:37.820
You are modifying the weather by making it rain or snow a little bit more.
01:39:40.980
Geoengineering is a global climatic intervention designed to either cool the planet down or create, you know, reflective high-altitude clouds, and that has, again, nothing to do with cloud seeding, which is a form of weather modification.
01:39:56.600
And to your point about it sounding scary, right, I could try to do some sort of slimy PR thing and say, like, oh, cloud seeding is not weather modification, but fact of the matter is, like, making it precipitate a little bit more is modifying the weather.
01:40:09.040
And I think that I would rather be totally transparent about that and also say, like, it's something that we should regulate, and it's something that we should be cautious about, and we should approach it with a mindset of stewardship.
01:40:20.420
But still, if we were to ban it, hold sail, not only would we deprive Americans of having access to more water from it, but also we'd be liable to other countries continuing to do it without it from us.
01:40:31.520
So you remember the big hurricane that happened, and we were hit by two.
01:40:35.540
One came and hit Florida, and then the other one came barreling in to North Carolina up from Florida.
01:40:42.880
And people said, well, that was weather modification.
01:40:45.760
That was, that, that, they cloud seeded that, and they modified that, and they even steered that.
01:41:03.160
The modification of a hurricane such that it would either increase or reduce the winds, increase or reduce the damage done by it, that is not something that is doable.
01:41:13.120
Now, that being said, it's worth talking about something called Project Storm Fury, where in the last century, the United States Weather Bureau and Air Force conducted flights over the Atlantic to try to seed hurricanes to mitigate the damage that they would do by the time they broke against the eastern seaboard.
01:41:29.260
And we stopped that program because we didn't have what's called attribution, right?
01:41:36.520
We didn't have any good satellites to measure what the effect from the seeding was.
01:41:40.920
The reason why cloud seeding is coming back into the discourse now, why it's a viable technology that people are paying for, is because we can measure what the results of our operations are.
01:41:51.480
And I would say that although Milton and Helene, I've seen no evidence of having been modified, and I'm totally open-minded about that.
01:41:57.980
And if anybody does have it, I would happily scrutinize it and talk about it.
01:42:01.940
But despite not believing those to be modified, it is worth thinking about the fact that, you know, like at the beginning of time, in Genesis 1, 26 through 28, one of the first commandments we were given before the fall, while we were still in the garden, right, before sin, God told us to take dominion over and steward the earth to seize the skies and everything therein.
01:42:22.840
And so, should we now be concerned about making more water for our farms? Absolutely.
01:42:28.020
Should we at least consider a potential world with extreme caution, and again, a mindset of, like, prayerful stewardship, the notion that we could mitigate severe weather in the future?
01:42:37.940
I think that it would be abdicating our responsibility to try to tend to the world that God gave us if we didn't at least think about it.
01:42:44.240
And I am not advocating we do that now or anytime soon or without severe scrutiny from the federal government and transparency for everybody.
01:42:51.700
But it's something that may, at some point in the future, be able to benefit folks.
01:42:57.820
Yeah, I mean, I don't mind looking into technology.
01:43:01.560
I just wish we would slow down sometimes, you know, with what's happening with AI.
01:43:11.380
Now we're going into AI, and it's coming at us faster, and we have no idea what it's going to do.
01:43:16.060
You know, when you're throwing stuff up, you know, whether it's chemtrails or whatever, I don't know enough about it, but I sure would like to be in part of the discussion on some of these things.
01:43:27.640
I'd like to have our government say, hey, what do you think?
01:43:34.100
We're talking about doing some things to the planet that, you know, might be good, but also could be horrible.
01:43:40.620
And, you know, just the arrogance on some of this stuff really bothers me.
01:43:45.800
Augustus, thank you so much for having a frank conversation with us.
01:43:49.920
I pray for you and your family and all the co-workers at Rainmaker who I know feel, you know, it's obvious you feel for the families, et cetera, et cetera.
01:43:59.820
But now to be blamed for it is, it's got to be hard.
01:44:09.120
All right, let me break 60 seconds and we're back.
01:44:16.900
I mean, one day he's full of energy, spinning circles, chasing shadows, and the next he's slow to get up.
01:44:26.300
You try different kibbles, but, you know, different treats, but even cooking him chicken, you know, like a little furry aristocrat, but something's still missing.
01:44:35.580
And the deal is, dog food, even the most, you know, the good stuff, is almost always dead food.
01:44:41.040
Heat processed, stripped of nutrients, stored for months, but it keeps him alive.
01:44:47.760
Rough Greens is a nutritional supplement that you sprinkle on top of your dog's food, filled with vitamins, minerals, probiotics, enzymes, and antioxidants.
01:44:54.960
And here's the thing, you can actually see the difference.
01:44:58.620
Better energy, a shinier coat, fewer tummy issues, and a lot of cases, a lot more of that old spark in his eyes.
01:45:08.640
So, it's actually a good thing that he can't, because he'd probably, you'd feel guilty, and then you'd probably give him that spot on your couch.

01:45:28.600
Do you know much about cloud seeding and stuff?
01:45:48.000
Yeah, I mean, and I'm sure if you believe this was the cause, you think he's the worst person in the world and don't believe anything he said, and whatever.
01:45:53.700
You know, but I do think, like, I am a big believer in the idea that, you know, we can help make the world a little better for people.
01:46:04.000
Like, you know, I'm very much, as I drink a bunch of aspartame, I can note that I'm not the biggest naturalist in the world.
01:46:14.140
But I do think, like, a lot of times we lose sight as to, like, all the improvements that have been made, and that we all enjoy on a day-to-day basis, and that are miracles.
01:46:22.660
I mean, think of air conditioning for one, depending on where you are in this country.
01:46:26.200
I know, and we've done a lot of great things, but we're just getting to the point to where we should be really careful.
01:46:33.360
You know, maybe I'm old school, but, you know, throwing up chemicals like silver iodide into clouds, you know, and I think the problem with a lot of these technologies is there's no long-term effects that we even have.
01:46:50.180
As he said, we've been doing that for, what did you say, 50?
01:46:55.920
Which, okay, so, I mean, you can throw that number out there, but, like, when you look at it in a much larger perspective, like, what does this do over crops over 100 years?
01:47:05.180
You know, like, we don't know how that affects the food supply.
01:47:15.060
It's like, there's no long-term studies on these things.
01:47:19.260
Yeah, but there's no long-term studies on a lot of stuff.
01:47:28.180
I mean, I am with you on, I don't like doing big things to the planet.
01:47:32.560
However, we've been doing this since, you know, the 1940s.
01:47:49.180
Yeah, because most of the rain misses, you know, the plants and the ground.
01:47:54.440
No, he's saying that it would change the chemicals of the plants or the, right?
01:48:02.560
Well, you know, I actually, I was doing some research on this, and I found that some of
01:48:06.640
this leads to multiple chemicals falling into the food supply.
01:48:14.200
In fact, it's two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen falls from the sky.
01:48:23.100
I will tell you, I will tell you that I am concerned what we put into our soil.
01:48:28.240
I'm concerned what we put on our food as we're growing it.
01:48:33.700
I just don't think that this, and I could be wrong.
01:48:37.140
I know nothing about it, but I'm willing to explore more.
01:48:43.500
And, you know, especially with the future stuff that we're doing, maybe we should slow down a little bit.
01:48:53.940
Every time you decide to move, it starts with a simple question.
01:49:00.660
The guessing, the cleanup, the listings, the endless work that you have to do, open houses where you pretend to know, you know, what you're looking for.
01:49:14.680
And the moment where you start to think, do we even know what we're doing?
01:49:17.600
Real Estate Agents, I Trust.com, a company that I built to fix this problem, is there to say, yeah, you know what you're doing.
01:49:24.960
We interview thousands of agents all across the country, and we only select those who are proven, vetted, and actually good at what they do.
01:49:34.620
We also look at the agent's character, their skill at communication, how they handle clients under pressure, and whether there's somebody you could trust, really, to help you lead, you know, lead you through this path.
01:49:46.340
The biggest financial decision of your life, buying or selling a home, it doesn't have to be a roll of the dice.

I want you to go to realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:50:14.520
Christy Noem came out with something yesterday that I applaud.
01:50:41.440
Today, we have started a new no-shoes policy with the Department of Transportation Security
01:50:50.540
TSA will no longer require travelers to remove their shoes when they go through our security
01:50:56.460
This is something that I know for quite some time people have talked about and discussed.
01:51:01.900
And we know that when President Trump was elected that he pledged to make life better for all Americans.
01:51:07.340
And that includes those who are travelers going through our busy airports.
01:51:14.220
You know, for those of us who have traveled outside of the United States, we look like
01:51:26.220
I mean, it's really we look so primitive compared, I think, to the rest of the world.
01:51:31.340
They're not concerned about any of these things.
01:51:33.540
And quite honestly, you know, flying out of an airport in the United States recently, there
01:51:38.740
was a backup and everybody and this what the TSA said, everybody were backed up.
01:51:43.540
So you don't have to take off your belt or your shoes and you can leave your laptops in
01:51:48.920
Just put it on the belt and go through the scanner.
01:51:56.740
Or is it that this is just a bunch of bullcrap anyway?
01:52:12.940
Remember, you then get onto a little airplane in a tube and eat garbage and breathe the air
01:52:27.460
But to say that the TSA is the worst part of air travel tells you something.
01:52:32.680
That's why I don't understand why people just don't fly privately.
01:52:35.600
You know, if you just get your own plane, you make the rules.
01:52:48.540
And it's interesting that, I mean, because I heard an analyst talking about this.
01:52:51.700
And saying, you know, Richard Reed gets on and he goes through the line at the airport.
01:53:00.000
And the people at the airport noticed he's acting suspicious.
01:53:04.600
And they check him, but they don't check inside his shoes.
01:53:11.660
One of the reasons that he's sweating so profusely, it makes the wick unusable.
01:53:17.620
And this is why he doesn't blow up a plane over the Atlantic.
01:53:21.460
I mean, it's a pretty, actually an incredibly amazing miracle that that didn't happen.
01:53:26.920
So they're like, holy crap, we have a real hole in our security.
01:53:44.640
You want to go through this on your next flight to Des Moines.
01:53:50.160
It took you two hours to get through the process.
01:54:18.820
I'm in the middle of traveling all over the country.
01:54:22.740
And you don't want to go because you're a wuss.
01:54:29.840
I don't even remember where I was flying in from.
01:54:53.400
You're going to Israel, and you don't know where you're staying?
01:54:58.020
If they knew you, they would say that's totally normal.
01:55:01.300
And then they said, is someone meeting you at the airport?
01:55:18.320
And in the meantime, they're in another line, and they're talking to Jeffy, okay, who was
01:55:23.200
not my producer at the time, but he was my producer for this trip.
01:55:27.580
And I said, they said, are you traveling with somebody?
01:55:36.860
Well, they went over to him, and he said, yeah, we know where we're staying, blah, blah, blah,
01:55:41.640
Jeffy says no, because he's technically not my producer, but he's my producer for this
01:55:47.380
And they're like, he said you were his producer.
01:55:54.120
I'm in charge of all the technical stuff, and you're bringing equipment with you.
01:56:21.240
They just bought all of this and put all this technical equipment, and you're bringing
01:56:25.980
it onto our airplane, and you know nothing about it.
01:56:28.640
It's beyond, has somebody given you something that you don't really know?
01:56:35.660
And then, so we're going through all of this, and none of it makes any sense whatsoever to
01:56:46.060
Can you plug this equipment in and make it work?
01:56:52.640
So, they make us go back into this room, and they're talking to us, and they're going
01:56:58.160
through over and over and over again, and can't get a hold of George Hiltzik because
01:57:28.680
Then we got onto the plane, and they handed me a real steak knife to cut my chicken.
01:57:39.560
So, what they do is they just come by, and they're all trained to look for inconsistencies.
01:57:45.340
And when they find it, they just ask you a bunch of questions, and then somebody else
01:57:49.480
comes by and asks you the same bunch of questions like you don't know.
01:57:59.020
Look, I understand why Israel, particularly after 9-11, might do something like that.
01:58:08.640
El Al has never had a terrorist attack on their planes.
01:58:16.380
However, do I want to go through that security every time I fly to Wilmington?
01:58:23.720
Most times, it's not that way because you're flying to Wilmington.
01:58:27.300
I don't want to be asked any questions when I'm in line at security.
01:58:33.040
I would rather do that than all of the other stuff that is meaningless.
01:58:36.700
You can have all the conversations you want with TSA employees.
01:58:39.420
What I would like to do is get on my freaking plane.
01:58:44.460
Look, everyone else around me had this, what are you going to Israel for?
01:59:02.020
I would also argue, after December of 2001, that probably for some time, the shoe thing
01:59:11.860
I mean, frankly, when you didn't have a way that you were checking it, putting them through
01:59:22.200
What's the window that you would need to put in the technology to the lab?
01:59:25.140
We've just dropped this, what have we done to make sure that somebody doesn't go, oh,
01:59:30.400
well, now they've dropped this, I'm going to put shoe bombs in my shoes?
01:59:34.900
Because they have technology that detects it, and have for a long time.
01:59:39.360
That's certainly what Kristi Noem's argument was yesterday.
01:59:43.240
Yeah, I think the biggest problem here is they've had this technology for a long time.
01:59:55.120
No one wants to be the person who took it off, and then a plane blows up because of
01:59:59.800
So you get into this situation where everything just stays in place, and the tax that was
02:00:05.420
used to pay for the building 25 years ago is still in place.
02:00:11.440
I'm more afraid of the people that I'm flying with than terrorists showing up.
02:00:16.400
Have you seen the videos of the people who just go insane on the plane?
02:00:21.680
You can't have a society if it keeps breaking down like that.
02:00:25.760
I think a few questions like, have you taken your medication today?
02:00:36.400
Maybe think of implementing as having people interact with other human beings occasionally.
02:00:41.780
Like, I don't want my friendships to come from the TSA line.
02:00:45.080
I'd like people to maybe, you know, not completely avoid all humanity and then get onto a gleaming
02:00:51.560
metal tube that goes through the sky at 40,000 a minute.
02:00:54.580
Are you telling me that you don't want to avoid contact with almost all humankind?
02:01:00.580
Oh, I want to, but I don't think it's the healthy approach.
02:01:09.480
When markets get volatile, people start to notice gold again.
02:01:12.820
Some of us never stop watching because we know that printing trillions of dollars just doesn't magically fix the economy.
02:01:18.940
It just evaluates what you already have in your wallet in your retirement.
02:01:21.420
Well, Lear Capital has been there and they have been helping people move a portion of their savings into physical gold for 25 years plus.
02:01:32.700
They'll help you understand why this is so important.
02:01:36.540
You know, when you hold gold in your hand, it's real.
02:01:59.700
Ask about getting up to $15,000 in free gold or silver with a qualifying purchase.
02:02:08.980
Claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament.
02:02:33.940
She was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind her car on her backhand side.
02:02:40.240
Good thing Claudia's with Intact, the insurer with the largest network of auto service centers in the country.
02:02:46.000
Everything was taken care of under one roof and she was on her way in a rental car in no time.
02:02:50.320
I made it to my tournament and lost in the first round.
02:02:59.300
We're just sitting here talking about how we really feel about, you know, air travel and the TSA and everything else.
02:03:07.840
I actually don't want, I don't want questions, but I don't want the shoes and I don't want the TSA.
02:03:14.200
I just want to get through as fast as possible.
02:03:16.360
But I, I mean, if you're going to do it, I just don't want to talk to somebody who's making $16 an hour.
02:03:25.260
You know, I just don't, I don't want somebody who has also worked at McDonald's as their last job.
02:03:32.200
And, you know, and because I, and, and, you know, look, look, I don't want to take down the TSA because there's a lot of really good people.
02:03:39.340
The ones that stick in your minds are the ones that are really bad.
02:03:41.960
I was just in an airport and, you know, gave them my ticket and, and my driver's license.
02:03:52.560
That's what you're talking about when you like give them your license.
02:03:59.540
And I'm smart enough to know they have my picture.
02:04:04.920
Um, and it's just a principal thing, no pictures.
02:04:07.520
And the guy looks at my wife and he rolls his eyes and he goes, these people, like we don't have cameras everywhere tracking their every move.
02:04:16.520
And I looked at him and I said, you know, I'm still standing right here.
02:04:25.740
Well, to be fair to him, he couldn't have possibly believed that she was married to you.
02:04:33.300
But I mean, you know, again, I, you can go, I have very few issues at the airport.
02:04:39.180
I go through, I very rarely have a bad experience.
02:04:53.360
I can sit here and be very, very annoyed with my life where I can get through the line and get, again, I, I don't like the policies.
02:04:59.120
You know, like I, I joined TSA pre a long time ago.
02:05:04.680
And I get to, now I skip all those lines and I never deal with any of it.
02:05:07.580
Until everybody's on that and then your line's going to be just as long.
02:05:09.940
No, actually they think that it's going to be, this shoe thing is a big thing for TSA pre if you happen to be one of the people who goes through that line.
02:05:16.100
Because it's going to encourage people less frequently to go through the process to get it.
02:05:23.880
Because a lot of people were getting TSA pre just so they didn't have to take their shoes off.
02:05:29.020
And like, I think I'm, I'm, you know, I'm joking about, you know, about not caring about this stuff at some level.
02:05:39.660
And I do, I, I, we have to defend at some level, you know, our privacy.
02:05:47.920
But I do think we have a problem with letting crazy people, not bombers, not terrorists, just crazy people.
02:06:09.120
Nobody, nobody thinks all these collectivists, they're not collectivists.
02:06:14.760
They, they just, they're in a collectivist movement, but they only think of themselves.
02:06:19.280
And so when you're actually in it, when we're in the airplane, we're kind of all in it together.
02:06:23.920
You know, I don't know, you know, now maybe people who fly first class all the time think differently.
02:06:29.740
But I think that just because there's a curtain between first and second class, I think we're still on the same plane.
02:06:43.380
I don't know why, why can't we just, look, we all are going to a destination.
02:06:54.800
I just want you to know, none of us, including really me and the co-pilot, we don't want to be here today.
02:06:59.040
We're here because they're paying us to be here.
02:07:06.760
We could sit on the tarmac now for another four hours waiting for this system to move on.
02:07:12.020
Let's just get that out in the table right now.
02:07:17.520
Hey, why don't we just all just kind of mind our own business?
02:07:20.580
If you don't like the person next to you, that's fine.
02:07:32.140
And that's how I feel about the security line, too.
02:07:33.980
It's like there is some level of inconvenience you just need to push through.
02:07:46.180
It's not like I'm not taking off my shoes going, people, rise up.
02:07:54.220
And those are the people that shouldn't be allowed on the plane because the pilot doesn't
02:07:58.700
even want to be there, but he just won't say that.
02:08:05.420
Really important show tonight, 9 o'clock on Blaze TV.
