00:00:21.540 yeah, he's getting sick.

00:00:22.860 You don't need a thermometer, you don't need a doctor, you just know, right?

00:00:26.580 Unfortunately, knowing they're about to get sick is the easy part.

00:00:29.560 But the hard part is discovering that half the town has the same bug.

00:00:33.960 The pharmacy is out of the medication they need.

00:02:09.640 from the beating heart of the nation dallas texas welcome it's friday this is the glenn

00:02:15.500 beck program we're glad you're here i've got good news to share with you really good news

00:02:20.120 everybody is really down in the mouth and you feel it at the gas pump you do feel it at the

00:02:24.620 gas pump. But the gas pump is misleading you to see bad everywhere. The numbers are pretty

00:02:31.960 staggering that are just coming out. I'm going to give you those here in just a second. First,

00:02:35.580 let me tell you about Relief Factor. More than a million people have tried Relief Factor,

00:02:39.240 but here's the number I care about. Two-thirds of them go back and get more month after month.

00:02:44.880 You can get anybody to try something for all sorts of reasons. I tried it because my wife

00:02:48.880 told me I had to try it. You know, commercial recommendation, curiosity, whatever. But

00:02:53.980 But when you try it, you're not going to continue to take it.

00:02:58.060 You're not going to continue to buy it if it's not working.

00:03:00.760 Two-thirds say it works for them.

00:03:02.460 It works for me.

00:03:03.520 It's a supplement that helps your body respond to inflammation the way it is supposed to.

00:03:09.040 And inflammation is the cause of most of our disease and also our frequent pain.

00:03:12.780 So try the three-week quick start.

00:03:15.440 1776.

00:03:16.180 See why so many people say Relief Factor gave them their lives back.

00:03:19.540 It's relieffactor.com.

00:03:20.960 800, the number 4 relief.

00:03:22.360 800, the number four relief, relieffactor.com. All right. I know how everybody feels right now.

00:03:32.180 Does I feel it? I feel it every time I go to the gas pump. I go to the gas pump and it cost me,

00:03:37.360 you know, 80, $90 to put, you know, fuel in my tank. And I'm like, what, what, how this can't

00:03:43.000 last. It can't last. And I know that diesel is over six bucks a gallon and that can't last because

00:03:49.120 that's baked into all of the tractors so our farming all of the trucks the diesel and the

00:03:55.800 trains that move everything i mean it's bad

00:03:59.600 but is that what is really happening yes those numbers are real but what are the rest of the

00:04:08.740 numbers we just got numbers out the poverty rate in the united states just fell to the lowest on

00:04:16.660 record ever. Not the lowest in a decade, the lowest since we started counting. The lowest

00:04:24.600 poverty record, the lowest poverty rate in the history of the United States. I don't

00:04:30.880 know. Let's take a moment. Shall we? That's worth celebrating. By the way, he only likes

00:04:42.380 the rich people. Lowest poverty rate in history. Same report. Real median household income in 2025

00:04:53.820 was $87,460. That is an increase of $2,250 in one year. That is the highest on record going back

00:05:07.980 to 1967. Now that's real meaning after inflation. So that's not a bigger number on a paycheck that

00:05:17.120 buys less. That number is after inflation. So that's more groceries, more house, more gas in

00:05:23.880 the tank than the year before in one year. Now, so you know, this is really unusual. Those numbers

00:05:31.220 don't usually travel together. Usually when the top does well, the bottom gets left behind.

00:05:37.280 This time, the floor came up.

00:05:40.780 I thought that couldn't happen.

00:05:42.480 I thought the free market was just the worst thing for all they cared about was rich, rich, rich, rich, rich.

00:05:49.120 Now, this week, the Atlanta Fed has come out with their GDP Now model.

00:05:54.280 This runs the estimates of what the economy is actually doing right now,

00:05:58.360 so you don't have to wait until the end of the quarter.

00:06:01.720 You want to know what's happening right now?

00:06:03.360 let's look at the speed. Where are we going? On September 10th, it read 4.4% real GDP.

00:06:16.980 Let me give that number to you here with some perspective. Biden, his first quarter in his

00:06:23.560 last year was 1.6 second quarter was 3.0 third quarter was 3.1 fourth quarter was 2.4 okay

00:06:34.960 so he's about 3 percent 2.8 percent for the year his last year let me go back what did i just say

00:06:44.540 that was? 4.4. September 10th, real GDP read 4.4. However, if you check it, what was it, last night?

00:06:54.740 Is it the, yeah, 16, two nights ago. If you check it two nights ago, that number was up from 4.4

00:07:02.840 to 5.1. 5.1 annualized. Do you know what that means? 5.1, that's not a recovery, that's a boom.

00:07:13.460 Remember when China was just slaughtering everybody? 0.99

00:07:16.980 Their economy was just out of control. 1.00

00:07:18.700 They're building these ghost cities and everything else.

00:07:20.560 And it was bogus.

00:07:21.700 But you remember that?

00:07:22.560 That number was 7% to 8% GDP.

00:07:27.360 We're at 5.1% and it's real.

00:07:32.660 We have to understand the administration.

00:07:36.020 God bless them.

00:07:36.740 I love them.

00:07:37.120 But the worst thing they do is PR.

00:07:40.200 How come these numbers?

00:07:41.380 This is what the president should be talking about all the time.

00:07:46.620 August jobs, 162,000.

00:07:50.340 Wall Street had penciled in 53,000.

00:07:54.000 So it's triple the forecast.

00:07:57.000 That's the strongest month since March.

00:08:00.180 Then they went back and revised June and July.

00:08:04.480 But remember every time that happened under Biden,

00:08:08.580 they revised those numbers down?

00:08:11.380 July just got flipped from a reported loss to a gain of 21,000.

00:08:17.100 The number inside that report tells you everything.

00:08:23.160 683,000.

00:08:24.660 What's that number?

00:08:26.860 683,000 Americans walked back into the labor force in a single month.

00:08:33.880 Those are people who stopped looking for work, that started looking again, got a job, and are now working.

00:08:42.320 Now, if you were on the unemployment line, if you had stopped looking for work,

00:08:48.420 why would you start looking for work again?

00:08:50.560 Why would you go get a job?

00:08:53.680 One, I guess, let's be really cynical, you didn't want to work.

00:08:59.780 You want somebody else to pay for it.

00:09:02.080 Okay, well, I'm glad you got a job now, and I'm not paying for you anymore.

00:09:07.400 The other is because you smell it in the air, there's something happening.

00:09:11.480 There are jobs that are starting to open up.

00:09:14.420 And the count of people stuck in part-time job work that wanted full-time dropped by almost half a million people.

00:09:23.540 414,000 that were working part-time that are now, and they wanted a full-time job, and they now have a full-time job.

00:09:33.060 414,000.

00:09:34.140 In a month, that's 414,000 kitchen table conversations that just got an awful lot easier.

00:09:42.920 Inflation.

00:09:44.280 Here's the headline.

00:09:45.980 3.4% year over year.

00:09:49.640 Okay.

00:09:50.820 True.

00:09:52.060 Not great.

00:09:54.640 Core inflation.

00:09:55.720 That's taking out food and fuel, and I know that's how they measure it.

00:09:59.800 Core inflation.

00:10:00.600 food and fuel are the things that are affected by wars and weather how we've been doing on

00:10:07.700 the weather this year gang how are we doing all war you take core inflation and it is running at

00:10:15.660 2.5 percent and over the last three months headline inflation has run at an annualized rate

00:10:22.240 of 0.18 percent two tenths of one percent the fever is breaking

00:10:32.420 business investment is up 8.5 percent equipment chips tooling the boring stuff companies like

00:10:41.280 these are the things companies do because they believe next year is going to be better

00:10:46.720 Residential construction just posted its first increase in six quarters.

00:10:51.720 Somebody's finally building houses again.

00:10:56.140 And now the part you feel every time you pull up to the pump.

00:11:00.120 Because I can't tell you that your food price isn't up.

00:11:03.800 I can't tell you your gas price.

00:11:05.140 You know that.

00:11:07.060 Gas is an outrageous $4.31.

00:11:10.660 Diesel is $6.20.

00:11:13.840 That's an all-time record.

00:11:15.140 set this month, and it's still climbing. Well, that's because he went into war with Iran.

00:11:21.480 No, no, no. No, it's not. No, it's not. The Strait of Hormuz, the war, the tankers. Hormuz is

00:11:28.920 absolutely the reason, when you're pumping gas into your car, that's absolutely the reason it

00:11:34.800 costs. That's all war. That was his choice, if you want to say it that way. But diesel is a

00:11:42.520 different story and why isn't this story everywhere because diesel is biden the truth came out over

00:11:53.580 the last 10 days the ukrainian drones the ukrainian drones have been flying over the border

00:12:01.920 and going into russia and taking out their refineries not oil fields the refineries

00:12:08.300 The International Energy Agency says a Russian refinery was successfully struck on average once every three days for the first eight months of this year.

00:12:19.140 What does that mean?

00:12:20.540 Three of Russia's largest, three of the six largest diesel producing refineries have been slashed or shut down on their output this month.

00:12:32.040 Russian refinery for diesel is now at a 24 year low.

00:12:35.580 Moscow has banned all diesel exports outright just to keep their own trucks working and moving.

00:12:43.760 You take that much diesel off the world market and every gallon everywhere gets bid up and up and up and up.

00:12:52.280 The European refining margin, the benchmark set now diesel prices across most of the planet, runs $12 to $18 over crude.

00:13:02.740 It closed near $94.

00:13:08.520 We haven't bought Russian oil since 2002.

00:13:12.200 It doesn't matter. 0.88

00:13:14.140 It's all one market.

00:13:17.700 And here's why this is actually better news than you assume.

00:13:21.680 The price has been driven by a supply that has been knocked offline with a fixable price.

00:13:28.380 Refineries can get repaired.

00:13:30.480 Target's list can change.

00:13:31.980 ceasefires can happen. A war could end. Our own refiners are running hard into the most

00:13:39.160 profitable diesel spread in history, and capital moves really fast. So, what does all this mean?

00:13:53.660 I got to tell you, I am very concerned. I see the price of gasoline. I see the price of oil,

00:13:58.520 and that has to be solved.

00:14:01.280 I see the price of diesel and that has to be solved.

00:14:04.440 But when you look at all of the other numbers that are happening,

00:14:07.500 this is not an American economy that is broken.

00:14:10.460 This is an American economy running at 5% with record incomes

00:14:15.700 and the lowest poverty ever measured in the history of our country

00:14:20.200 that's paying a premium for war.

00:14:25.580 Fix the war, and that last bad number goes away. 0.50

00:14:31.780 So, if you want to say, yeah, well, that's Donald Trump and war, Iran.

00:14:37.440 Okay, he'll take the gas price, but you got to take the diesel price.

00:14:45.220 The question is, really, who's the president that's going to stop it?

00:14:48.800 my guess is president trump is going to wait until the end of the this is a total guess

00:14:55.000 he's going to wait until the uh the election and then he's going to go hammer the bat snot 0.83

00:15:01.540 out of those crazy mfers that's what's going to happen so what's going to happen because it has 0.96

00:15:08.620 to end and so i mean what are his choices he just said he just said in an interview someplace you 0.99

00:15:16.340 know i've got a couple of choices i can either just kill them all or not well what do you think 0.97

00:15:21.580 he's going to do because he can't give him a win what do you think he's going to do he's going to 0.98

00:15:24.940 make it stop but he's going to wait until after the election and i gotta tell you uh it'll be even

00:15:33.320 more dramatic if the democrats win because he'll know he'll have from november to january to finish 0.99

00:15:40.880 shit. Because once they get in, they'll destroy everything America is working towards. They'll 0.99

00:15:47.520 destroy it. So here's the thing you need to know. We have wages ahead of prices for the first time.

00:15:55.700 We have people off the sidelines going back to work in record numbers. We lifted the bottom

00:16:01.280 instead of just the top. That's the part that was supposed to be impossible for a free market,

00:16:07.240 remember the pump is all that's left and the pump in some ways is the easy part that one only takes

00:16:17.340 peace back in just a minute all right a lot of questions you know in any major disaster questions

00:16:25.340 like where are we going to sleep tonight is it when's power coming back on what happens to

00:16:29.720 business where do the kids go to school can we rebuild how do we even begin to do that

00:16:36.580 Yesterday, these people had routines.

00:16:38.720 Today, they have questions.

00:16:40.560 That's where Mercury One comes in.

00:16:41.980 When disaster struck Lahaina, Camp Mystic,

00:16:44.780 communities all across western North Carolina after the hurricane, Aleen,

00:16:49.180 Mercury One worked with local partners to help get it where it's actually needed,

00:16:54.560 get all of the food, the supplies, the assistance, the resources to the people

00:16:59.220 so they can begin to recover.

00:17:01.360 That's what Mercury One does.

00:17:03.320 We don't just show up for an emergency.

00:17:04.820 We work with the people who know the community.

00:17:07.500 They stay engaged long after the work is gone off the front page.

00:17:12.780 You know, you can't give somebody back the day before everything changed,

00:17:16.500 but you can help them build the day that comes next.

00:17:20.240 And that's what we do.

00:17:22.420 If you'd like to join us, will you join our family and help us on all of our efforts at Mercury One?

00:17:27.600 It's an amazing organization.

00:17:29.140 and every single dollar, every single dollar that I raise when I go out and raise because I raise

00:17:35.880 money once a year to pay for the lights and the salaries and everything else, it goes to where

00:17:41.400 it's directed. So in other words, you say, hey, I want to make sure this goes for humanitarian.

00:17:46.300 I want to make sure this goes to whatever. That's where it goes. Text loyalty to 852017

00:18:14.440 We go to Joshua in North Carolina.

00:18:23.680 hello josh hey there glenn um hey you know i've been better um look the reason why i call first

00:18:32.440 love you thank you um love you and and i never call in but when i heard the last segment i had

00:18:39.560 to um you're talking about how the economy is great and you know we have all these these great

00:18:45.660 things that are happening in the economy and we just got to fix the gas prices and the diesel

00:18:50.200 prices well we're you to me you sound like the democrats when they were trying to convince us

00:18:58.920 that the economy was great but nobody felt it i know that all right we we you're saying economy

00:19:05.140 is great but we do not feel it so do not feel it so josh that's why i said gas prices gas prices

00:19:12.720 affect food uh and your transportation so and it bakes into almost everything the gas price

00:19:20.120 is a massive, massive problem.

00:19:23.320 What I'm trying to show is not that you should feel good

00:19:26.040 about, hey, I'm making it.

00:19:28.180 A lot of people are not making it.

00:19:29.720 You're really strong.

00:19:30.520 That gas price, I don't know how people afford

00:19:32.920 food and transportation right now.

00:19:34.520 I don't.

00:19:35.460 I feel it every time I go and fill up my gas tank.

00:19:38.180 I'm looking at that number going,

00:19:39.740 how does the average person do this?

00:19:42.040 So I completely understand that.

00:19:44.080 I just wanted to show you that the fundamentals

00:19:46.580 on the direction that we're headed,

00:19:49.560 We have massive problems with gas.

00:19:52.580 We do.

00:19:53.540 Massive problems with diesel.

00:19:55.100 We do.

00:19:56.140 But the direction is going the right way.

00:19:59.800 So you can feel it.

00:20:01.940 You can even say, I can't take it anymore and whatever.

00:20:05.020 But don't think that nothing is happening behind the scenes.

00:20:08.480 Because I've told you for a long time, I don't think you're really going to feel Donald Trump's effect for five to ten years.

00:20:16.100 because he is fixing infrastructure.

00:20:21.180 And nobody likes when you fix infrastructure

00:20:23.240 because it snarls traffic while they're building new bridges.

00:20:26.620 But once those bridges are built, everybody loves it.

00:20:29.560 The problem is getting to the end of the bridge being built.

00:20:33.520 And that's the things that nobody is seeing.

00:20:36.020 And so I'm trying to show you that bridges are being built

00:20:39.020 in the right areas and really good things are happening.

00:20:42.520 But that doesn't mean that it's going to you're going to feel it necessarily.

00:20:47.480 A couple of thoughts. Trump may be doing those good things.

00:20:53.540 But can you honestly say that if the Democrats win the next presidential election, that any of those, quote unquote, good things will continue?

00:21:04.200 I don't think they will. Yeah, I can because you have 20 trillion.

00:21:08.480 $20 trillion, and he doesn't ever explain this, $20 trillion in foreign investment.

00:21:13.400 Those are factories that are going to be built and are being built.

00:21:17.600 You have numbers in your business sector, corporate numbers, that show they are reinvesting.

00:21:23.740 You don't do that if you think this is short-term because it takes you too long before a factory is going to open up.

00:21:30.540 And so a lot of this stuff is happening.

00:21:33.980 That's the other reason why everybody's saying, Glenn, he's paying attention to Europe and he's paying attention all day. Yeah, because he's noticed. Notice what he's done just with oil. He's putting it all here. That's why Canada is so important. He's putting it all in the Western hemisphere so we don't have to worry about the rest of the world.

00:21:53.280 If the Democrats win the House and the Senate, we're in trouble.

00:21:57.100 If he wins and we're going to see more, we will see more growth and we can stop these things.

00:22:02.660 I don't think you're going to have a Democrat win in 28.

00:22:06.140 I think you're going to have enough prosperity that it will be able to move forward with the Trump agenda.

00:22:11.980 We knew when we first got in, when he first got in, and I told you this, he told me, I said, can we do this in four years?

00:22:20.160 And he said, no. And he said, I've got two years before it gets really tough.

00:22:24.620 He said, we need eight to 12 years. We have to follow this.

00:22:30.000 They've been building the opposite for 100. Don't expect this to be built in four years.

00:22:35.980 It's not. But this is the biggest step forward away from that progressive Marxist nightmare I've ever seen in all of American history.

00:22:45.940 so not trying to say your life doesn't suck right now i recognize that i'm trying to say have hope

00:24:13.620 Sorry, no ball prize today at glenbeckshop.com.

00:24:30.560 Look, I...

00:24:32.900 I have been saying for a while, people are not feeling it,

00:24:38.720 People are not feeling it.

00:24:39.860 They're not feeling what's going on.

00:24:42.060 But I also didn't have until the last 10 days, I didn't have the numbers that show that the body is getting better.

00:24:50.140 What we're going through right now with such damage, we had, let me ask you this.

00:24:55.940 did the united states of america with what has been done to it in the last 20 years

00:25:02.940 with the way the democrats have been running it the way both parties have been spending us into

00:25:09.720 oblivion everything that was going on our education our our culture everything would

00:25:15.420 you agree with me that you could say this country had cancer we had a deadly form of cancer if you

00:25:23.620 if you say no to that, then why did you think it was the most important thing to make sure that

00:25:31.260 Donald Trump won? Was that just hype? Because I actually felt our country was over if we didn't

00:25:39.680 start fixing this. I believe the country had deep bone cancer. When you have cancer, what do you do?

00:25:49.960 So, you either do, honestly, what the rest of the world is doing to Europe, and that is just give everybody a drug.

00:26:00.300 Just give everybody a drug, and we'll ease the pain as it dies.

00:26:05.020 Okay?

00:26:05.360 They just nurse it down until it's gone, but everybody feels better because they're just managing the decline.

00:26:12.660 You manage the death.

00:26:15.260 That's what we were doing, gang.

00:26:16.940 We were managing the death.

00:26:18.140 If you want to stop the cancer, what do you do?

00:26:22.100 Unfortunately, in this barbaric time period that we live in, because I think it will be remembered as barbaric, chemotherapy.

00:26:31.940 Why is it barbaric?

00:26:33.320 Because it almost kills the patient. 0.94

00:26:36.860 It's a race.

00:26:38.320 Which is the chemotherapy going to kill first, the cancer or the patient?

00:26:42.480 It's insanity.

00:26:44.300 But it's the only thing that works.

00:26:49.140 We had cancer.

00:26:52.280 Would you say when you're in chemotherapy, you feel better than when you had cancer?

00:27:00.020 Because I've never met anybody who was going through the chemotherapy and went, oh, I feel so much better.

00:27:05.460 You feel like you want to die.

00:27:07.660 You pray for death.

00:27:09.080 Just make it stop. 0.90

00:27:10.300 I can't do this anymore.

00:27:12.080 Okay? 0.95

00:27:14.060 If you stop the chemotherapy, you die.

00:27:18.140 If you continue with the chemotherapy, you might live.

00:27:26.760 What do you do all the way through?

00:27:30.900 You start to watch, is the cancer receding?

00:27:34.880 Is this working?

00:27:37.020 You don't feel like it's working.

00:27:39.740 That's why you have to look at the stats.

00:27:42.060 Is the chemotherapy making the cancer recede?

00:27:45.400 what i showed you on the economy you are vomiting from chemotherapy you are weak

00:27:55.280 you are and i don't mean weak like you can't handle the truth i mean you're weak 0.62

00:27:59.720 you've been beaten up the economy's been beaten up the country the culture everything has been

00:28:05.320 beaten up forever and then a guy comes in and says here's what we're gonna do and he does stuff

00:28:11.640 that everybody's like wait that looks like chemotherapy that looks very dangerous yep and

00:28:15.620 we're doing it otherwise the country will die and he's doing it and everybody is saying this is worse

00:28:22.200 i feel worse i feel worse i feel worse i know i know wait until we get to the debt in a few years

00:28:27.620 gang if this doesn't work we're really up a creek without a paddle so you're feeling

00:28:41.080 the sickness and the cure at the same time.

00:28:47.920 The cure for gasoline is Straits of Hormuz.

00:28:52.280 That's what's happened. 0.99

00:28:53.000 The Straits of Hormuz is the problem that keeps us in the Middle East, 0.99

00:28:57.820 our forever wars. 1.00

00:28:59.780 You want to cure that?

00:29:01.320 Good. 1.00

00:29:01.680 Then you have to take care of Iran.

00:29:03.960 You want to make sure that Iran and others don't hold us hostage in the Middle East?

00:29:09.140 Good.

00:29:09.500 then what you have to do is

00:29:11.540 fix the Strait of Hormuz, make sure that there

00:29:13.740 are pipelines there that can get that oil out

00:29:15.720 but stop relying on that

00:29:17.460 go get oil someplace else

00:29:20.060 open it up here, which he did

00:29:21.800 then buy

00:29:23.800 the Venezuelan oil, get the

00:29:25.600 Venezuelan oil, get that online

00:29:27.720 work

00:29:29.920 with Canada, if Canada would

00:29:31.740 work with us, work with Canada

00:29:33.480 get that oil, now you have oil

00:29:35.660 now you are the largest oil

00:29:37.800 producer in the world

00:29:39.320 You're beholden to no one.

00:29:41.340 But you haven't felt that.

00:29:43.520 You haven't felt it because all you're feeling is the chemotherapy that is going to stop the forever wars,

00:29:48.500 hopefully if the plan works, and get us off of that teat over there.

00:29:55.980 But once that is done, the body should feel a lot better.

00:30:03.820 And the body will be stronger.

00:30:05.480 all i did was i'm not trying to tell you that you don't feel that you should feel good what 0.98

00:30:12.540 you're imagining you're not imagining things it sucks

00:30:15.580 you're at the grocery store you're at the gas station i know exactly what you're going through 0.97

00:30:24.940 you're in chemotherapy and i'm just trying to say hold on hold on let me show you the stats

00:30:31.840 this therapy is working. It's working. You're not going to feel it for a while. There's probably

00:30:38.760 lots of vomiting ahead, but it's working. If you're a chemotherapy patient, while you're there,

00:30:48.240 don't you want somebody to hold your hair back as you're vomiting in the toilet going, 0.97

00:30:52.220 I know, I know this sucks. I know this sucks. I know this sucks. But listen to me, it's working. 0.99

00:30:57.120 it's working you are getting better the cancer is receding that's an important message

00:31:04.080 and that's the message that needs to be said to people because people are starting to say

00:31:09.460 this chemotherapy is not working at all and it's only making things worse and i gotta go

00:31:13.620 to marxism no that's more cancer that's why that's why i did this monologue today not to

00:31:24.820 not to sound like Joe Biden. I hate it. I hate it. I was at the RNC and the president was 0.94

00:31:30.280 shouting numbers and stuff. And I'm like, hey, those numbers don't translate to anything.

00:31:35.920 People don't understand what that number means. And nobody's feeling it. Nobody is feeling it.

00:31:46.420 So if you were shouting that at me a few minutes ago, I get it. But I want you to know,

00:31:50.480 that's not what I'm doing. I'm not trying to say, what's wrong with you? Why don't you see this?

00:31:55.460 I'm telling you, nobody's showing you the stats.

00:31:57.580 Nobody's showing you the actual.

00:32:00.300 We're doing the checkup.

00:32:01.840 We're running the tests.

00:32:03.280 We're looking at your blood.

00:32:04.800 We're seeing all the things that you won't feel for a while.

00:32:08.440 And the numbers are really good.

00:32:11.520 The cancer is receding.

00:32:14.540 You know, you don't feel better the day after surgery.

00:32:17.160 You probably feel worse.

00:32:18.620 You go in and do something and you have to have surgery.

00:32:21.280 You feel worse the next day.

00:32:23.040 Why?

00:32:23.220 because they just cut you open.

00:32:28.200 Have you ever remodeled a house?

00:32:30.800 Oh, my God.

00:32:32.580 The money pit is the funny version of that.

00:32:36.600 But if you've ever remodeled a house,

00:32:39.580 oh, it'll tear the family apart.

00:32:44.140 It's the hardest thing.

00:32:45.880 You ever go through marriage therapy?

00:32:47.740 You probably will argue more during the therapy at first

00:32:51.480 because you're lancing the wound.

00:32:57.480 Ever gone to physical therapy?

00:33:01.260 I say the same thing to my wife and she's like, 1.00

00:33:03.140 I don't want to hear you whine.

00:33:04.860 I go to physical therapy.

00:33:06.060 If I've ever gone to physical therapy,

00:33:07.560 I come home and I say the same thing.

00:33:08.900 I feel worse.

00:33:10.320 I feel worse.

00:33:11.460 She's like, yes, you're going to feel worse for a while.

00:33:17.120 It's not getting better.

00:33:19.220 Yes, it is.

00:33:21.480 You just don't know it yet.

00:33:27.360 I'm a recovering alcoholic.

00:33:30.280 The hardest thing in my life to do was to admit I'm an alcoholic.

00:33:35.580 That I had a drinking problem.

00:33:38.160 It was easier to admit it to friends than it was to even myself.

00:33:44.960 And that's not the hard part.

00:33:46.360 The hard part is then digging into your life and finding out what it is that makes you drink.

00:33:54.520 You know what makes me drink?

00:33:55.820 I want to forget all of the things in my life.

00:33:59.820 You think I'm going to get better by looking at all of those things directly in the eye?

00:34:06.760 No.

00:34:08.500 Yeah. 0.97

00:34:09.800 The first year sucked.

00:34:12.320 Everybody, anybody I've ever run to, if you're a recovering alcoholic and you're just starting, you know, the program, let me tell you this. 0.78

00:34:23.000 Say this every time.

00:34:24.760 Dude, it is hell.

00:34:28.180 It's going to suck, but it is so worth it.

00:34:32.740 Life gets so great.

00:34:35.800 You just have to do it.

00:34:38.220 You just have to get through it.

00:34:42.320 have you ever had an argument with your wife or your husband

00:34:45.920 where your kids fall or they fail?

00:34:53.700 And one of you reaches to fix it for them

00:34:57.500 and the other one goes,

00:34:58.420 no, no, no, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't.

00:35:02.480 I know, but it takes so much more time if I don't.

00:35:05.400 I know, but they're crying and they're hurt.

00:35:10.220 Yeah, they got to go through it.

00:35:12.320 Is that a good dad or a good mom?

00:35:15.680 You're letting your child suffer?

00:35:17.500 They're going through hard things?

00:35:20.260 Yeah.

00:35:21.560 Why?

00:35:22.620 Because to get stronger, you have to go through hard times.

00:35:26.740 Hard times made us.

00:35:30.300 Hard times is what made Americans Americans. 0.99

00:35:33.760 Do you think my great-great-grandmother who lost an eye on the wagon trail?

00:35:42.320 Do you think she wanted to cross those mountains?

00:35:45.360 I don't know. 0.99

00:35:45.820 She might have been crazy.

00:35:47.320 But I don't think most of them looked at those mountains and went, this is going to be fun.

00:35:52.260 They knew there was something better on the other side.

00:35:55.940 But if, and this is what the media is doing to you right now.

00:36:02.420 Honestly, this is what I would have been doing if we were on the wagon trail and we were going over the Rocky Mountains.

00:36:07.360 This is what I would have been doing. 0.99

00:36:08.760 I want to kill the leader right now. 1.00

00:36:10.700 I want to kill him. 1.00

00:36:11.480 you know how nice it was in denver and he said it's just over this mountain and we get on top 1.00

00:36:33.840 mountain i thought we went up the mountain we voted for the guy that was the hardest thing we've done

00:36:38.300 we got it done he's in he's doing all these things and look we're at the top of that mountain

00:36:44.640 and look at all these we're going to go down again then we got to go up and then we got to

00:36:48.240 go down again then we got to go up and then we got to go down again yes because the pacific coast

00:36:53.140 is worth it i do not want to dis please do do not misconstrue i am not dismissing how you feel

00:37:07.340 I know how you feel.

00:37:08.840 I feel it.

00:37:10.460 I just said to my wife, she was talking about filling up gas.

00:37:15.100 And I'm like, we're in so much trouble if this thing doesn't work.

00:37:18.240 We are all in so much trouble.

00:37:19.940 Everything is so close to the edge.

00:37:23.180 I feel it too.

00:37:26.100 Perhaps not like you do.

00:37:28.440 And for that, I am grateful.

00:37:29.800 But I do not dismiss what you're going through.

00:37:33.640 It's real.

00:37:34.940 Don't let anyone dismiss it.

00:37:36.860 It's real, but know that it's going to get better, and it's not just some boob on the

00:37:44.780 radio saying, because I believe it's going to get better.

00:37:48.700 I have the facts.

00:37:51.160 The test results are coming in right now.

00:37:54.580 The test results would not show what the test results are showing today if it wasn't getting

00:38:00.480 better.

00:38:00.900 The poverty rate in the United States, I know how you feel, but I'm talking about the poverty

00:38:06.720 rate. So people have come out of poverty. It's the lowest level ever recorded.

00:38:16.100 The bottom, the very bottom, you might not be feeling it yet, but the very bottom is feeling it.

00:38:23.520 Things are getting better. It's going to take a while before you feel it.

00:38:29.180 I just don't want you to lose hope. Back in just a minute.

00:38:32.420 there are companies you do business with for years without having the slightest idea what

00:38:38.300 they actually believe and quite honestly i liked it like that i don't care what gillette thinks

00:38:44.820 as employees or the management in their own time i don't care why do you have to make the entire

00:38:51.860 company about a cause well if you're going too good then we need ones on our side that we can

00:38:58.440 look at and go, okay, that's my cause. I'm going to have to have this service or this product.

00:39:04.740 When it comes to mobile phones, I'm going to have to have a mobile phone carrier. Great. I know what

00:39:09.820 those dudes are doing. I know one of them is actually helping abortions with Planned Parenthood.

00:39:15.120 Don't think so. I want my money to go to the Christian conservative, the only Christian 0.51

00:39:20.320 conservative wireless company in the world. They've contributed millions of dollars to

00:40:37.060 Good morning, Glenn.

00:40:38.600 You've offered me a lot of hope today.

00:40:40.440 Good.

00:40:41.780 Good.

00:40:42.040 I'm glad.

00:40:42.240 What I want to know is why, with Trump's cabinet, you know, we've got Doug Burgum, a genius from North Dakota.

00:40:49.500 Why are we not building refineries and storage facilities in North Dakota to produce diesel fuel from the Bakken?

00:40:57.760 And our agriculture secretary from Iowa, why is she not helping our farmers out more than she is?

00:41:05.720 So I can talk to you about the diesel refineries.

00:41:09.520 Refineries take at least 10 years to build.

00:41:13.280 And, you know, that's mainly a banking thing.

00:41:17.000 because the banks look at that and say, how many billions is that going to cost?

00:41:21.380 I don't know if I feel comfortable giving you a loan for this because I'm not sure it'll ever be built

00:41:26.720 because who's going to come in in the next administration?

00:41:29.640 Are they going to shut that down? 0.69

00:41:31.280 This one is all about stability, and that's why we don't have more refineries.

00:41:42.260 You can't control whether danger ever crosses your path.

00:41:45.780 You can't control whether somebody else makes a bad decision that suddenly becomes your problem.

00:41:50.660 The only thing you really get control on is whether you're prepared when that moment comes.

00:41:55.820 That's you.

00:41:57.020 That's why I like the burner launcher.

00:41:58.280 It gives you a way to protect yourself without carrying a firearm and a non-lethal option for self-protection.

00:42:03.760 It looks a lot like a traditional handgun, but it fires powerful kinetic and chemical projectiles that can stop an attacker from up to 60 feet away.

00:42:11.720 It's powerful enough to give you the time that you need to get away and call for help without having to make a life-altering decision in a split second.

00:42:18.860 Legal in all 50 states, doesn't require a background check for concealed carry permit, and more than 750,000 Berna launchers have already been sold.

00:42:27.120 There's so many reasons people have decided they'd rather have one and never need it than need one and not have it.

00:42:33.120 So, go to Berna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.

00:42:36.140 Find the right Berna launcher for your family today.

00:43:59.720 There's some numbers out today that are very, very hopeful.

00:44:03.840 I went over them last hour, and, you know, the problem is, you know,

00:44:09.780 if you have cancer and you're in the middle of chemotherapy,

00:44:15.060 it doesn't help an awful lot to have the doctor go, but it's getting better.

00:44:19.540 Look at the test results. It's getting better.

00:44:21.480 You're still feeling like garbage, and America feels like garbage right now, 0.98

00:44:25.240 but I got to be the doctor and say, yeah, but the numbers are coming in, 0.99

00:44:58.540 deadlines and the repairs. The thing somebody promised to fix. Are they fixed yet? The thing

00:45:04.000 the inspector found out that nobody knew needed fixing. This is where a good real estate agent

00:45:37.260 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:45:40.160 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:45:43.600 So last hour, I went over some numbers.

00:45:46.280 Poverty rate in the United States

00:45:47.900 just fell to the lowest ever recorded.

00:45:51.860 Let me say that again.

00:45:53.800 Because you may not be in poverty.

00:45:56.600 in poverty you may be struggling but you're not necessarily in poverty our poverty rate just fell

00:46:02.840 to the lowest level ever recorded why does that matter ah he only cares about the rich tax cuts

00:46:10.400 for the rich tax cuts for the rich no this is now pulling up the bottom the top and the middle

00:46:19.720 Same report.

00:46:21.160 This is the middle.

00:46:21.880 The real median income for households in 2025 was $87,460.

00:46:28.500 That's up $2,200 in one year.

00:46:32.020 That's the highest record going back to 1967.

00:46:35.360 And that's after inflation.

00:46:40.460 I know you don't feel it.

00:46:44.180 Two numbers don't usually travel together.

00:46:46.520 Again, more really good news.

00:46:49.060 That's the kind of news the doctor looks at.

00:46:51.100 He goes, yeah, they don't really care about this, but that's really, really good news.

00:46:55.280 Those numbers don't usually travel together.

00:46:57.120 Usually when the top does well, the bottom gets left behind.

00:46:59.780 Not in this economy, not what he's building.

00:47:02.720 The Atlanta Fed's GDP Now model shows that in September 16th, our GDP was 5.1% annualized.

00:47:12.160 That's a remarkable number.

00:47:14.940 Biden never got past 3.1.

00:47:18.200 Most of his time was in the ones and the twos.

00:47:21.640 The jobs.

00:47:23.700 Last, what was it?

00:47:25.660 The August jobs.

00:47:27.780 162,000.

00:47:28.940 Now, Wall Street was saying that it was going to be 53,000.

00:47:31.640 That means triple the forecast.

00:47:33.880 Strongest number since March.

00:47:36.880 Why did the Fed, this is, again, this is all such a mixed bag.

00:47:41.140 Why did the Fed raise the interest rates?

00:47:43.040 because job numbers are climbing and people, believe it or not, have more money.

00:47:49.840 And so they're going to spend more money.

00:47:52.320 And when they spend more money, and the government is also spending more money,

00:47:56.120 inflation will rise.

00:47:58.340 So that's why the Fed raised that rate.

00:48:03.220 And I know it doesn't feel that way, but I'm just talking about the mechanics of it.

00:48:08.060 The number of people who were stuck in part-time jobs who wanted full-time jobs

00:48:12.760 dropped by 414,000 so 414,000 people went from part-time to full-time jobs and that's what they

00:48:22.120 had been wanting and inflation is the real problem inflation is at 3.4 percent now what is costing us

00:48:29.760 it was how it was everything under biden it was everything you strip out food and fuel

00:48:35.800 and annualized rate of inflation is 0.18%.

00:48:42.160 Two-tenths of 1%.

00:48:44.380 So the problem is not everything now.

00:48:48.060 The problem is food and fuel, and those two go hand-in-hand.

00:48:53.620 By the way, business investment is up 8.5.

00:48:55.800 You don't do that if you think things are going to get bad.

00:48:59.480 The reason why I'm telling you this is because you're looking at the gas pump

00:49:03.000 and you're looking at the cost of food, and you're like, I can't make it.

00:49:05.800 And I know it.

00:49:07.000 There's a lot of people.

00:49:08.220 I mean, we wouldn't be, believe me, gas prices.

00:49:14.960 What's happening with gas is Donald Trump's COVID.

00:49:20.140 It happened to him in 2020.

00:49:23.260 COVID happened.

00:49:23.780 Everything was going great.

00:49:25.060 And then COVID happened.

00:49:27.200 And it took everything down.

00:49:30.280 Gas prices, diesel prices, it is because, I mean, it's COVID.

00:49:35.340 It's just COVID. Diesel was caused now by Ukraine, the Ukrainian war. We just found out 10 days ago, the numbers started coming out.

00:49:45.760 Russia is losing, I think, six out of their 10 plants or three out of their six. I can't remember what it is, but a lot of their plants, about half of their diesel refineries are off now because they've been hit by drones flying out of Ukraine.

00:50:01.580 So that's the war. That's diesel. That's why you're paying so much.

00:50:06.180 Gas is clearly just the war in the Strait of Hormuz.

00:50:10.300 That has to end. 0.57

00:50:11.880 That has to end.

00:50:13.500 Once those two things end, you have a really healthy economy.

00:50:18.260 If those get worse, it doesn't matter the health of the economy and everything else.

00:50:23.560 But I'm telling you these things because everybody is telling you how bad it is, and you feel that.

00:50:30.420 That's not imaginary.

00:50:32.040 That's what you feel.

00:50:33.020 You're putting your money down to buy gas and food, so you know it, and you feel like I am still struggling, and all of that is real.

00:50:41.340 I'm only telling you this because I want you to have some hope, because if you don't have hope, people are going to start voting for Marxists.

00:50:49.440 These things are showing right now.

00:50:52.560 All these numbers are showing that we're okay.

00:50:55.300 We're going to make it.

00:50:56.560 We just have a lot of pain we have to eat, but we're going to make it.

00:51:01.080 It's moving in the right direction, especially Marxists say, oh, well, he just cares about the rich.

00:51:05.080 No, uh-uh.

00:51:06.480 Lowest poverty rate in American history.

00:51:10.920 So it looks like those tax cuts and other things are working for the lowest of the low here in America.

00:51:18.700 Now, I don't think anybody really wants to hear this because that's not what you're feeling.

00:51:23.500 Let me go to Jeff in Ohio.

00:51:25.000 Hello, Jeff.

00:51:28.820 Jeff.

00:51:29.360 Good morning, Glenn.

00:51:29.760 Hey, how are you?

00:51:31.080 Doing well, doing well. I just wanted to call in and let you know I'm a longtime listener. I found you after September 11th. I've been a listener since then. I love you. Yeah. And I'm not calling to complain. I just want to let you know. I'm really not. I promise.

00:51:46.300 No, it's okay.

00:51:47.180 If you complain, it's all right.

00:51:49.200 It's just more about giving you the vantage point of what people are feeling and experiencing.

00:51:54.760 Maybe feeling is not even the right word.

00:51:56.260 I know it.

00:51:57.160 I travel a lot for work, and I'm feeling the same thing.

00:52:00.340 I'm experiencing the same things.

00:52:01.600 But the problem that we're running into is we're all just done.

00:52:05.140 We're tired of being told, well, look at this macro.

00:52:08.560 Look at this.

00:52:09.140 Look at this.

00:52:09.620 There's better things coming down the road when it's just not happening.

00:52:13.420 And if we saw...

00:52:14.560 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:52:16.300 What does that mean? It's just not happening. Those macros are all real though. And they're

00:52:21.900 significant macros. So what do you mean? It's not happening. They, they are. I'm sorry. I misspoke

00:52:30.220 in terms of happening for the people and what they see. Yes. Yes. I agree with that. Yes.

00:52:35.260 That's a more fair way to say it. And I think where people's frustration really lies is we're

00:52:41.240 not seeing action from the people who can take action. So to go back from your, to go back to

00:52:45.640 your analogy about, well, when you do a house renovation or you do something like that,

00:52:49.880 you're going to experience these difficult times and these rough patches. And so that's all very

00:52:54.260 true. But the problem is, it's not like the economy for the average person has been flipping

00:52:59.940 merrily along since 2020. It's not like we came out of a lot of things from a consumer perspective

00:53:05.180 that felt really strong and really good when you look at taxes and inflation and all the things

00:53:11.260 mentioned. So we go from that and we start to see some momentum. We start to see some relief

00:53:17.720 in those everyday things, not the macros. I should stay away from that. But we've got a

00:53:23.080 situation now where Congress, especially, I put a lot of my blame there as do most people.

00:53:28.640 We identify fraud. We identify a lot of things. We identify a lot of waste and overspending and

00:53:33.920 all of these things. And we're just, okay. Oh, well, you know, yeah. Like here, here's a press

00:53:38.500 release, here's a hearing, here's this. We're not seeing anything in terms of action. I can't

00:53:46.820 really say any better than that. So let me just say this. 100% agree with you. Congress is

00:53:53.500 worthless. Republicans are worthless. We're not done trying to get rid of these dirtbags out of 1.00

00:54:01.020 there. That's why I think Ken Paxton is so important. You don't have to agree with how

00:54:05.160 Ken lives his personal life, but I'm telling you, that guy, what he did in Texas is right down the line.

00:54:12.800 He's a tough nail, and if we can get more people like that in, and we're making progress,

00:54:21.320 it's just not enough progress. It's not fast enough. We have still all of the dead weight.

00:54:25.340 We still have all of these Mitch McConnell. I thought we only had one.

00:54:28.120 We got a lot of Mitch McConnells in there that have to go.

00:54:30.220 So I agree with you on you're not seeing anything. And I will tell you, the guy who has been given the biggest gift in in politics that I've ever seen in my life is J.D. Vance.

00:54:44.020 the president said you're in charge of corruption go find all of this corruption if jd vance was

00:54:52.360 smart and he is if he was smart that's all he would be doing is leading a task force on corruption

00:54:59.520 and lining people up so in 2027 all you're seeing up to the election in 2028 is all of these

00:55:07.420 prosecutions and corruption if he if that guy could find a trillion dollars which is going to

00:55:13.400 be it won't be hard to find if he could find a trillion dollars of corruption that would show

00:55:19.700 the american people okay somebody is taking at least that seriously that would also help people

00:55:26.980 trying to buy our bonds which would make our interest rates go down jd vance has the chance

00:55:32.340 to become the obvious candidate but it has to all be backed up by action because the only one that i

00:55:40.100 see action from honestly is donald trump that's it and he can only do so much i agree with that

00:55:46.360 and i think that's the other thing i'm seeing as i go around and i talk to people right in my

00:55:50.140 normal life and just people i run into as i travel and i i've got a real fear that the the

00:55:56.220 midterms are not going to go well i i hate to okay so so i agree with you jeff but i want to

00:56:00.980 hear from you why you feel that what what what what does that what would people be saying

00:56:07.180 by are they going to vote for democrats are they going to stay home what what is it what's the

00:56:13.820 message what is what are they saying i have heard both uh primarily it's it's it's that i'm going

00:56:19.900 to stay home what's the point i voted with very specific things and very specific directives and

00:56:25.060 a very specific mandate very little of it has happened from a legislative standpoint or from

00:56:30.200 from a prosecution standpoint excuse me to go back to your other point and what's they're basically

00:56:36.340 like do we want to vote for driving 100 miles an hour over the cliff or 40 35 that's the prevailing

00:56:44.420 feeling okay so uh does somebody want to drive 100 miles over the cliff no no what i'm saying

00:56:53.120 is basically people are saying and i can understand where this comes from it's the democrats are going

00:56:57.920 to take us there super fast the republicans either through apathy and inaction or like it's no big

00:57:03.460 deal are taking us to the same place just a little bit more slowly so 100% agree with that 100% agree

00:57:10.480 with that I've just made and maybe it's just because I've watched too many action movies but

00:57:16.820 I want if I'm stuffed in the trunk of a car and I know they're going to kill me I'm hoping we don't

00:57:24.300 get there fast because I'm hoping something else will change along the way I'm hoping some good

00:57:29.840 guy's going to step up. So, well, you know, I'm, I'm not the guy like, look, you're both going to

00:57:34.900 kill us. So kill us right now. I'm looking to negotiate to slow things down in hopes that 0.97

00:57:40.820 something else will happen. So if you're thinking, you know, I'm not going to vote because we're

00:57:45.100 going in the same direction, just at different speeds. Yes, that's absolutely true. And that is

00:57:49.380 a really bad problem. That means you're in the trunk of a car of bad guys, no matter, no matter

00:57:54.480 which but somewhere there is a good guy somewhere there is hope on the horizon and that's what we

00:58:02.260 have to work towards so yes slow it down while also trying to find those people to put i think

00:58:08.560 there are a few good people that could lose texas could lose the senate you lose texas we're done

00:58:15.520 we're done if you lose the house and the senate you want to go back at a hundred miles an hour

00:58:22.420 Because if we were at 100 miles an hour last time, it'll be 150 miles an hour.

00:58:28.640 It is worth slowing it down.

00:58:33.180 Do not throw in the towel.

00:58:36.140 You have no hope.

00:58:37.580 If you throw in the towel, you have no hope.

00:58:40.600 I would rather keep fighting.

00:58:42.560 And I am just as pissed off at these guys.

00:58:44.860 I mean, I have said it. 0.94

00:58:46.480 I can't stand the Republicans.

00:58:50.300 I can't stand them.

00:58:52.420 but I know I don't want Marxists. 1.00

00:58:56.420 I know I don't want Islamists. 0.99

00:58:58.860 And I'm sorry, if you're voting for Democrat, 1.00

00:59:01.200 that's what you're going to get. 0.99

00:59:02.780 Crazy Islamist Marxists. 0.97

00:59:05.880 That's what you got on the horizon. 1.00

00:59:08.480 I don't want any of that.

00:59:11.240 I'd rather take a really bad cup of coffee

00:59:17.540 instead of the coffee that I know is going to kill me in 10 minutes.

00:59:21.180 I'll just take the really bad one that might have spoiled milk in it right now.

00:59:25.640 I'll take that one.

00:59:27.760 And that's not a way.

00:59:28.660 That's the problem.

00:59:29.580 That's not a message that gets people out and off their couch.

00:59:32.580 That's not a message.

00:59:35.120 Yeah, you're absolutely right.

00:59:36.740 And I think that's where people's frustration lies that, okay, yes, this is that existential.

00:59:42.000 Why are the Republicans not meeting the moment and meeting that energy and saying, yes, this is that existential here.

00:59:48.360 Let's show you what we're doing.

00:59:50.240 Let's make meaningful progress on fraud.

00:59:52.000 Let's make meaningful progress on spending cuts.

00:59:54.360 Here's why.

00:59:55.060 I think it's because you haven't cut the machine out yet.

00:59:58.820 All of these guys, especially in the Senate, these guys have been in there forever.

01:00:02.820 You just got rid of Cornyn.

01:00:04.440 Now, are you going to give Cornyn's desk to a guy who has proven himself to conservative values in Texas over and over and done really the hard things?

01:00:13.260 Are you going to give it to a Marxist because you don't like that John Thune is there mucking stuff up?

01:00:19.520 No.

01:00:20.240 get that guy in in texas and then two years from now let's get john thune the hell out of there

01:00:27.260 you've got to take it apart piece by piece donald trump's the only one and he can only do it for

01:00:32.700 you know a limited period of time but he's the only one that can short circuit the whole thing

01:00:37.460 he's the only one that can go in okay well i'm gonna do this and he can't do it all but we have

01:00:44.300 to continue to work and make progress i personally think we've made an awful lot of progress i

01:00:49.880 I also believe that the leadership at the GOP, they're still playing the game of 1970.

01:00:59.440 They still are still playing this.

01:01:00.780 I don't think they see the existential threat.

01:01:02.980 You know what?

01:01:03.620 Anybody who was listening to me and go, Glenn Beck, you just don't understand what people feel like at the gas pump.

01:01:08.680 I do.

01:01:09.760 I do.

01:01:10.180 I don't feel like you do because I'm not struggling like that.

01:01:13.100 And I'm sorry to say that, but it's just is I'm not struggling like you are, but I am not so far away that I don't see the struggle.

01:01:19.880 And I don't talk to the president.

01:01:21.140 I don't talk to people and say, we got to do something about gas prices.

01:01:24.760 You got to take down.

01:01:26.100 We got to finish this war. 0.98

01:01:27.600 We got to do it. 0.84

01:01:28.380 I get it.

01:01:29.380 I think the Republicans, that leadership is so out of touch, they don't even notice it anymore.

01:01:34.300 They get their gas pumped by somebody else.

01:01:36.900 And honestly, when's the last time you saw any of these people in Washington on either side that actually like you?

01:01:44.240 No.

01:01:45.500 They tolerate the people.

01:01:48.500 That's the problem.

01:01:49.380 and we got to get those guys out and that's going to take time but we're going to get it done

01:01:53.680 as long as we don't lose hope all right back in just a second

01:01:57.680 you know here's something that uh isn't really fun but it's probably true you've probably given

01:02:03.840 your your birthday to a company that has absolutely no business knowing your birthday

01:02:17.860 the information that is out on Facebook and Twitter and everything else. They know who you

01:02:23.660 are. They know your family. They know what your family looks like and sounds like and everything

01:02:26.780 else. You're just trying to buy a pair of shoes. Why do you need all this information again?

01:02:32.780 All of that lives on a database. Old accounts, new accounts, records, companies that haven't

01:02:38.400 thought about you in years. And you can't personally keep an eye on all of it. That's

01:05:55.120 rate review and help it climb the charts

01:05:57.760 welcome to the glam deck program i'm taking your phone calls today it is friday thank you so much

01:06:18.080 for listening to us and putting up with me all week uh and i hope we've been a service to you

01:06:23.660 let me go to uh uh abe in idaho hello abe how are you hi how you doing i'm great first time caller

01:06:31.800 i uh i uh greatly appreciate your show and the information you give us i've been listening since

01:06:39.040 2009 well thank you um uh but a couple things um you know you talk about the poverty rate well

01:06:48.240 you look at their calculations and i don't think that their base rate isn't really covering rent

01:06:53.640 and food so some of that it's a little

01:06:55.900 hunky calculations

01:06:57.100 but the thing I want to talk about is

01:07:00.100 it doesn't

01:07:02.060 matter what Trump policies are

01:07:03.920 if it's not

01:07:05.820 codified because

01:07:07.420 I already been through that

01:07:09.960 just a minute ago Abe I agree with you

01:07:11.960 yeah just went through

01:07:13.980 most of what I was going to talk about

01:07:15.680 yeah yeah yeah so I

01:07:17.180 agree with you on that and that's the

01:07:19.900 one thing and the worst thing you can do

01:07:21.640 is instead of moving the Republicans in the right direction

01:07:26.520 and hopefully getting some more action

01:07:30.680 because we'd have maybe a few more people on our side

01:07:33.640 in that fight on the Republicans,

01:07:35.540 the worst thing you can do is give it to Marxists and Islamists. 0.91

01:07:39.580 I mean, that's insanity. That's insanity. 0.98

01:07:41.380 You want to talk about it not happening?

01:07:43.060 That's the way you do that.

01:07:44.360 Thanks for your call, Chris in Virginia.

01:07:46.060 Hello, Chris.

01:07:48.100 Hello, Glenn. How are you this morning?

01:07:50.540 Very good.

01:07:51.640 Excellent. Thank you so much for taking my call. And I'll tell you, today starts election season in Virginia, and I just went and voted. So I had to hold my nose to do it. But one votes in for the right side here in Virginia.

01:08:09.400 Good. Hey, you keep talking and we keep hearing about, oh, gas prices are going to go down after the election. We're going to, you know, put them out after the election. Why are we waiting? Why are we waiting? So many of us.

01:08:25.200 so okay so wait wait wait wait wait wait wait why are we waiting for gas price we're not waiting

01:08:30.220 for gas prices and i'm not saying the gas prices are going to go down after the election i don't

01:08:33.660 know that i will tell you that we are going to take i believe that we are going to take massive

01:08:39.720 action after the election but why wait that that's the question of so many of us why wait let's do it

01:08:47.560 now let's let's not have that going against us into this election season okay because it's bad

01:08:53.840 now right would you agree it's it's not great it's not great right um let's say we start bombing

01:09:01.620 this and we will i mean i think trump is going to open up holy hell um i've had conversations with

01:09:07.460 him and he's said it before uh openly he has had enough of these people he thought that you know

01:09:13.100 he could find reasonable ways there's no reasonable way to get these people so he's going to open up 0.92

01:09:17.840 i believe he's going to open up the biggest can of whoop ass on on the leadership uh that we've 0.96

01:09:23.320 ever seen. So let's just say that he does that. What do you think the press is going to say? 0.98

01:09:30.480 First, the war is getting worse. We are headed for boots on the ground or whatever else they're

01:09:36.920 going to say. We shouldn't have started this war in the first place. They're going to say all these

01:09:40.680 things, but right now it's stable. It's stable. The only thing that can make this worse is if

01:09:47.080 iran does something to hurt gas prices even more um as soon as the election's over then you move

01:09:54.480 right now when you're in a situation where we're this close to the election

01:09:58.260 i wouldn't do anything leave it alone leave it alone because it could get worse again before it

01:10:04.640 gets better um and you know what every even people on our side are going to say it boots on the ground

01:10:11.860 This is a never-ending war.

01:10:13.060 It's a forever war.

01:10:14.600 Leave it alone.

01:10:15.640 That would be my advice.

01:10:17.020 Leave it alone until after the election.

01:10:19.560 Now, if we didn't have to worry about stuff like that, if we knew that people understood what was going on,

01:10:25.340 and Americans had a tolerance for this kind of stuff, which they don't,

01:10:31.000 if they had tolerance, I would say, go, move, do it.

01:10:34.500 But they don't have a tolerance.

01:10:37.140 So that's why.

01:10:37.940 And I do hear, I already hear people on our side saying, you know, this is the forever wars, and they're really kind of falling into that.

01:10:46.340 And I'm just so scared going into the midterms that people are going to, you know, they're going to fall off.

01:10:54.300 They're not going to show up at the polls.

01:10:55.800 They're going to say, what's the difference?

01:10:57.500 And it feels like we missed that opportunity earlier this year that started at the end of February, beginning of March.

01:11:05.340 We had that 60-day crazy—we should have gone after him right then and been done with this. 0.71

01:11:13.480 So I think that—and here's where, you know, forever war people, why didn't we do that then?

01:11:21.000 Can you figure that one out, Chris? 0.82

01:11:22.600 Why didn't we do that then?

01:11:25.400 Same media and everything else that was going against it.

01:11:28.340 No.

01:11:29.140 I think it's because forever war people, including Donald Trump, he doesn't want a forever war.

01:11:35.340 you break it, you own it. And so what he was trying to do was get them to break enough

01:11:42.600 so somebody else in the regime could pop up and go, okay, okay, okay, we'll play ball. We'll play

01:11:49.040 ball. We got it. We got it. And he could break it enough to get somebody inside Iran so he didn't

01:11:55.720 break the entire government. You break the entire government, now you've got skirmishes on the

01:12:01.540 street now you have civil war now you don't know what you're going to get at the end so anybody who

01:12:06.880 wanted a uh you know saying that we didn't do it because this is a forever war no the reason why

01:12:13.200 we didn't go all in like that is because he was trying to avoid a forever war now he's got to go 0.84

01:12:20.920 in and keep killing all of these people up at the top to see if anyone the other is the kurds are 0.84

01:12:26.760 going to come in and they're going to start arming people um and they're going to start you're starting 0.87

01:12:31.260 to see the beginning of people on the streets starting to pop their head out but until they're

01:12:36.880 armed they're not going to do anything um but and that is a risky you know god only knows what's

01:12:45.780 going to happen when it's civil war i believe in the persian people i believe these these this is

01:12:51.460 one of the greatest societies of of mankind in the 20th century 18th century 19th century

01:12:57.940 it is a great great group of people up until 1979 and then they were just destroyed if there's 0.99

01:13:05.880 enough of them that remember who they are you're going to see a renaissance of the persian people

01:13:11.360 and iran like you've never seen before but it could go the other way too that's why i've said

01:13:16.600 from day one of this war i'm not going to tell you this was a good idea or a bad idea i can tell

01:13:21.620 you why he's doing it i can tell you if it works it's great but i don't know if it's going to work

01:13:28.660 it to me it's one of the bigger gambles i said on day one this is why i'm not president of the

01:13:34.240 united states because i would have done what every other president has done since 1979 you know what

01:13:40.780 we got to do something and then do nothing we got to do something and then do nothing we got to

01:13:46.140 negotiate then negotiate and it doesn't work we got to hit him and you hit him and it doesn't work

01:13:50.380 this president said enough is enough we have to we have to take this out so we'll see uh let me see

01:13:58.100 let me go to uh danielle is it daniel or danielle daniel daniel how are you daniel i'm doing good

01:14:06.920 glenn okay i i work the polls in erie pa swing district swing everything in the country okay

01:14:15.140 People are angry.

01:14:17.380 Doge, where's the debt reduction with Doge?

01:14:22.280 I agree.

01:14:23.080 Number one.

01:14:24.080 Number two, they're angry.

01:14:25.640 Where are the checks that they promised from Doge?

01:14:28.340 Not here.

01:14:31.360 Gas prices, killing everybody.

01:14:34.000 Killing everybody.

01:14:35.260 I know that. 1.00

01:14:37.540 Clean market, killing them. 0.99

01:14:39.260 So let me ask you this. 1.00

01:14:40.240 Let me ask you this.

01:14:41.760 Let's talk about Doge.

01:14:43.360 Why did Doge stop?

01:14:45.140 there are people going through dumpsters just to get five cents a nickel for cans bottles i know

01:14:54.560 take them to new york state just to get five cents i know i know i know i want to talk to

01:14:58.920 you about i want to i want to talk to you about doge why did doge stop

01:15:04.360 i'm listening i just asked okay i'm just i'm just gonna go here's why doge stopped

01:15:13.220 Doge stopped because that's where the money is.

01:15:17.140 That's where the power is.

01:15:18.760 You notice when they stopped USAID, that's what got Schumer and AOC and everybody else out on the street.

01:15:26.480 The day they shut USAID down, none of the other stuff did they come out for.

01:15:32.480 That one, they all stood in front and said, this is an outrage because the money was there.

01:15:37.380 And as Doge was going, there are trillions of dollars in fraud.

01:15:45.220 You don't stop trillions of dollars in fraud overnight.

01:15:50.900 And I wish we would have had more of a spine.

01:15:55.480 However, what did the president do? 0.87

01:15:57.940 The president said, J.D., let people shoot at you for a while.

01:16:03.560 J.D., you go in and find fraud.

01:16:05.480 And so they did the task force to eliminate fraud.

01:16:09.100 And I just talked about this.

01:16:10.620 If he gets this done, he will be the next president of the United States because there is anger.

01:16:16.960 Where are my tax dollars going?

01:16:19.920 Because the next thing on this, if you don't start eliminating fraud, the next logical thing that people think is, I'm not paying my taxes because it's all going to fraud.

01:16:30.980 Why am I working so hard? 0.95

01:16:32.640 Why am I scrimping and saving and living on the edge so I can pay my taxes when you don't give a flying crap where my money goes? 0.94

01:16:42.680 It's irresponsible, and I'm not going to be irresponsible with my hard-earned money anymore. 0.91

01:16:47.600 That's where it goes.

01:16:49.020 That's why this is critical, and you're right to be pissed about fraud.

01:16:53.120 But let's look at is there anything happening with fraud?

01:16:56.360 Let me give you CBS News.

01:16:58.220 Vance announces 870,000 people suspending of defrauding COVID-era programs barred from any future federal loans.

01:17:08.740 Would have liked to have seen a lot of people go to jail for that.

01:17:11.200 Washington Times, L.A. non-profit founder charged with fraud in alleged $7.5 million scheme.

01:17:17.760 Hopefully they're going to jail.

01:17:19.440 ABC News, federal prosecutors charged three in alleged $12 million homelessness aid fraud in Southern California.

01:17:27.040 From NBC San Diego, 12 charged in San Diego, an alleged daycare fraud scheme.

01:17:32.560 This is being addressed.

01:17:35.240 Right now, it's being addressed, I think, at the lowest levels.

01:17:39.580 I think you're seeing the 12 million, 7 million.

01:17:44.360 You're seeing all of that.

01:17:46.160 We need the fraud that gets into the billions.

01:17:49.580 But you have to, I believe, you have to build to that.

01:17:53.120 You have to go, what do you, you know, usually when you're doing something like this, you don't go after John Gotti.

01:17:58.920 You don't go right after John Gotti.

01:18:00.940 Who do you go after?

01:18:02.980 You go to Tommy Nofingers.

01:18:05.240 Hey, Tommy, what do you have on John?

01:18:09.320 You get the low guys and you turn the low, you put the screws to all the people who are in the lower levels.

01:18:15.840 And you say, how's this work?

01:18:18.040 Tell me about it.

01:18:18.980 Once you find out the system and then you find your John Gotti's, because there's more than one here, when you find them, you've got Tommy No Fingers and Petey No Knees, whatever, and you flip them and they turn the screws.

01:18:36.880 Hopefully, we've got two years, and I'm telling you, biggest gift to any candidate I have ever seen, J.D. Vance, don't blow this.

01:18:49.860 I don't care what you say about, you know, AI or you hate AI, you love AI, all the things that everybody's spooked about.

01:18:57.520 I'm telling you, he'll be the next president of the United States if he gets Tommy Nofingers to flip on John Gotti and you start really putting people away.

01:19:08.400 People care about this because that's their money.

01:19:12.820 It also affects the national debt.

01:21:08.560 we take vinnie in florida hello vinnie welcome to the glenbeck program how are you

01:21:22.180 i'm well i'm well it's a pleasure to talk to you glenn i've been listening to you since

01:21:26.360 oh god early 2000s gosh thank you um so i want to chime in real quick and you know for the most

01:21:32.840 part glenn i agree with you on pretty much everything that you talk about i mean you we

01:21:36.780 have our little things here and there, but that's par for the course. But for me, I'm an outlier in

01:21:42.380 my family, whereas I do very well and I've done very well my whole life. But where my brothers

01:21:48.440 and my parents come in, I kind of help support them as well. And they've all voted Republican

01:21:54.540 ticket for the most part every year since I can last remember. But it's not so much the gas prices

01:22:01.140 because we see those ebbs and flows with every administration as far as I'm concerned. So I'm

01:22:05.580 not too too concerned with that i feel like that'll correct itself but my thing is we voted

01:22:11.580 republicans and we gave them the house the senate and the white house thinking things were going to

01:22:16.880 change and i think where people are having the problem is they don't see the change that was

01:22:22.680 promised when we voted them in okay wait you do actually see the change you don't see the

01:22:29.100 codification of the change that's the difference correct right so it's like one guy has everything

01:22:36.900 on his back and he's carrying it so now why would you punish that one guy by um surrounding him by 0.51

01:22:44.760 alligators marxist islamist alligators you know i mean i i think of this election and i hate this 0.88

01:22:52.020 i hate this goes against everything that you know everything in me i hate it so much but it's true 0.76

01:22:59.040 unfortunately you ever do you remember the show hollywood squares i do okay paul in to block

01:23:06.800 that's what you need in tic-tac-toe paul in to block you're not voting for the republicans

01:23:14.540 you are voting for the republicans to block because if you don't have them in a blocking

01:23:21.460 position. This guy, I mean, he is surrounded by alligators. Paul in the block. Back in a minute.

01:23:41.120 You know, it's incredible is how many of us just accept that back pain is part of life.

01:23:45.600 You know, as if being stiff, sore, uncomfortable, it's just something that you're supposed to live

01:23:49.900 with now and you adjust how you sit how you sleep how you stand up how you pick things up and soon

01:23:55.000 your back starts calling the shots that's why i like chirp and what they're doing they make products

01:25:35.700 Hello, America.

01:25:37.040 It's Friday.

01:25:39.040 Get to the news of the day here in 60 seconds.

01:25:41.560 First, our gutters are basically a highway.

01:25:44.040 where nothing is supposed to park, but it does.

01:25:46.200 The rain comes off the roof, gets into the gutter,

01:25:48.440 moves down the downspout, exits, simple, it's great.

01:25:51.180 Then autumn arrives, and then somebody abandons a pile of leaves

01:25:54.320 in the middle of that highway, and now the water backs up

01:25:57.120 and debris collects, and, you know, eventually it's going to,

01:26:00.120 you're going to start, you're going to have to put a ladder up on the roof,

01:26:02.760 you know, get rid of that jam, and it's like, oh, come on, really?

01:26:07.520 I don't want to do that.

01:26:09.160 Don't, don't.

01:26:10.860 Get gutter protection, a great system.

01:26:13.420 In fact, the best one professionally installed over your existing gutters

01:26:17.300 to keep the leaves and debris out and allowing water to flow through it

01:26:19.980 so you don't have to take a ladder out.

01:26:24.960 Your gutters have exactly one job, and they should be doing it.

01:26:46.580 purchase required. Restrictions do apply. I want to talk to you about the health of us as a culture

01:26:55.940 here for a second. You know that two-thirds of Americans do not socialize at all during an

01:27:05.940 average day. Let me say that again. Two-thirds of Americans do not socialize at all on an average

01:27:16.140 day. Only 30% of Americans overall engaged in communicating on an average day in 2025, down

01:27:26.780 from 38%. The average time spent socializing dropped from 41 minutes to 35 minutes per day

01:27:34.700 in the same period, almost mirroring the amount of rise in times playing video games

01:27:41.160 or using social media.

01:27:43.980 They say most of this can be traced back to the impacts of COVID-19, especially with kids

01:27:51.560 because they were in lockdown and it did such damage to them.

01:27:55.060 And now they don't know.

01:27:56.480 They don't know how to socialize.

01:27:58.240 when you can't see people you can't talk to people this is why we this is why we're so

01:28:08.220 apt to hate people that are saying something that we don't necessarily like or not even

01:28:14.300 listening to what they're fully saying because they're not people anymore

01:28:18.960 they're just stats they're just a person online it's not a real person you don't have to look

01:28:27.480 people in the eye to do it.

01:28:32.360 And I don't think

01:28:33.440 this is getting better.

01:28:36.020 But it needs to.

01:28:38.600 Because we have

01:28:39.500 no culture. You can't fight all this politics

01:28:41.600 stuff

01:28:41.940 and expect to have a country

01:28:45.180 if we don't have a good culture.

01:28:49.720 Let me take you back last week. A flyer

01:28:51.580 went up at NYU.

01:28:53.540 It was a lookalike contest.

01:28:55.280 10 o'clock at night, in the park, $5 prize.

01:28:57.480 bring your own bottle. Georgetown had one too. South Carolina called theirs

01:29:01.360 Kirkiversary. They put up $50. Rochester

01:29:05.640 had a cash price and a trophy. Lincoln, Nebraska, somebody

01:29:09.440 taped pictures of a dead man to bus stops with the words on them that I'm not

01:29:13.520 going to read to you. And almost all of it was anonymous.

01:29:19.120 You know, posted on apps, built so

01:29:21.340 nobody has to sign anything. Every university said

01:29:25.460 no student group was behind it.

01:29:27.700 I believe them.

01:29:30.320 Some of this may be just a dozen kids

01:29:32.140 who found this cruel joke,

01:29:33.600 plus a screenshot buys you a day of attention.

01:29:39.720 But I can't tell you that America

01:29:41.400 doesn't celebrate murder.

01:29:43.220 Because we do.

01:29:47.580 At least a good portion of it seems to be.

01:29:52.600 Not that long ago,

01:29:53.820 things like this

01:29:56.860 you kept to yourself

01:29:58.380 if you had dark 0.66

01:29:59.600 you just

01:30:00.440 because you knew the whole society would turn on you

01:30:04.040 shame on you

01:30:06.380 man shot in the back

01:30:10.100 in a Manhattan sidewalk

01:30:11.220 within a week his killer has a fan club

01:30:14.160 a fan club

01:30:15.740 we went from safe legal and rare

01:30:20.040 to shouting it from a stage

01:30:21.980 and rare was really the word that mattered there

01:30:25.560 because rare meant something was lost

01:30:27.340 did you see now where was it

01:30:29.340 what state is it

01:30:30.340 I want to say it's California

01:30:31.440 but I don't think it was

01:30:32.760 one of the states just said

01:30:34.740 that you can be

01:30:38.360 kind of pregnant 1.00

01:30:41.620 women can be 1.00

01:30:43.480 kind of pregnant 1.00

01:30:45.200 nope

01:30:47.240 nope I don't think there's a halfway point on that 0.99

01:30:49.420 But if you're only kind of pregnant, that means that's not a human being. 0.98

01:30:57.260 So we devalue life again. 0.86

01:30:59.160 We're already doing it on social media.

01:31:09.600 You know, grown-ups take and they hold two truths, two things at the same time.

01:31:19.420 that don't necessarily agree with each other.

01:31:28.220 But that's expensive. That's hard.

01:31:30.640 Celebration is cheap.

01:31:32.680 And that's the whole trade today.

01:31:36.360 I don't think we got meaner.

01:31:38.140 I think we got tired of paying.

01:31:40.180 let me take you back to that flyer though

01:31:50.000 you know the person who ever printed those flyers

01:31:52.680 is going to be 40 someday

01:31:54.280 and he or she is going to have a kid

01:31:57.040 and the kid's going to ask him what he did in college

01:31:58.980 and there is no version of that sentence

01:32:02.120 that comes out right

01:32:03.060 oh I printed up flyers celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk

01:32:06.500 he's going to have a friend

01:32:09.400 get sick a brother get divorced and he will have spent his 20s training an organ inside of himself

01:32:19.080 the one that feels a little lift when somebody else goes down

01:32:22.980 and that organ doesn't check your list first it fires whoever is in front of it

01:32:32.120 it will automatically eventually fire at people he loves and he won't understand why he won't

01:32:39.020 understand why he is the way he is, why he feels these things or doesn't feel certain

01:32:43.200 things.

01:32:50.300 A crowd that assembles around contempt and vitriol can only talk about one thing.

01:33:00.000 It has no second subject.

01:33:02.120 And when it runs out of enemies, it starts looking around inside the circle.

01:33:06.320 everybody in that park at 10 o'clock

01:33:09.400 they know that

01:33:10.920 somewhere underneath they know that

01:33:12.460 so why are they laughing so loud

01:33:17.060 you don't end up

01:33:19.920 at the good part of your life

01:33:21.720 from there

01:33:22.280 you end up alone in a room

01:33:24.520 at an age where

01:33:26.660 that's harder to fix

01:33:28.260 and a lot of people you can no longer call

01:33:31.620 there was this guy

01:33:35.620 in, oh, I don't know, 1820s, I think.

01:33:41.360 He was a theological student.

01:33:44.700 His name is Carl Sand.

01:33:47.080 And he knocked on a door of a house in Mannheim.

01:33:51.060 Inside it was a playwright,

01:33:52.460 and it was the most popular playwright in Germany at the time.

01:33:55.220 You better check all these facts

01:33:56.320 because I'm just trying to remember off the top of my head.

01:34:00.340 But the man who had the door was a student.

01:34:02.480 and that student was leading a movement

01:34:06.060 against this playwright

01:34:07.120 and he decided that that playwright was a traitor

01:34:10.620 and so when he came to the door 0.97

01:34:12.900 Sand stabbed him in the chest

01:34:14.800 and as he was dying

01:34:16.600 the accounts say

01:34:18.560 this little boy, four years old

01:34:21.420 came into the room

01:34:22.800 and he looked at Sand

01:34:26.860 and Sand went out in the street

01:34:31.220 and turned the knife on himself

01:34:32.420 he didn't die they nursed him back into health so they could

01:34:37.000 try him a year later they took him out to a meadow outside the city and executed him he was 24 years

01:34:41.800 old now here's the weird part the crowd came forward and soaked their handkerchiefs in his

01:34:51.660 blood they broke up pieces of the scaffold and carried them home the executioner took the timbers

01:34:59.380 out into his vineyard, and he built a little garden hut out of the timbers

01:35:03.760 and the scaffolding of the noose, of the gallows.

01:35:13.100 And he would go out there in secret and sit inside of it.

01:35:19.480 They actually gave that meadow a name.

01:35:22.320 It was called the Meadow of His Ascension.

01:35:25.760 They didn't just forgive this guy.

01:35:27.260 They canonized him because he got a traitor.

01:35:30.760 So what happened?

01:35:32.280 Because this is where the lesson is.

01:35:33.480 That's why this is the only reason why you learn history.

01:35:35.460 Not for that part of the story, for this part of the story.

01:35:37.780 So here's what happened.

01:35:38.840 The government of the German states met at this little spa town and answered.

01:35:45.840 They dissolved all of the student societies.

01:35:48.580 They put official watchers inside the universities to sit in on all of the lectures.

01:35:53.360 They blacklisted professors.

01:35:55.180 They censored the presses.

01:35:56.820 The lid that stayed clamped down on German liberty, it stayed there for 30 years.

01:36:04.420 One man decided a writer was a category instead of a man.

01:36:09.480 And then a whole generation decided that young man was a saint.

01:36:14.860 And what did they get in the end?

01:36:16.420 What did they actually purchase?

01:36:21.060 What they purchased was the excuse that took everybody's liberty away, including theirs.

01:36:26.820 the people who cheered at the meadow spent the rest of their lives in a country with a government

01:36:33.400 agent in the back of their classroom because of what they did and it doesn't come all at once

01:36:39.800 it never does it comes in order and you can watch it climb so let me show you the order

01:36:45.560 of how this happens to society and you tell me where we are on the ladder go there in 60 seconds

01:36:52.380 first. You can walk from the living room to the kitchen without feeling like you've accomplished

01:36:56.720 anything, but your dog disagrees. I mean, you stood up. Something was happening. What's going

01:37:01.360 on? What's going on? He stands up. Maybe there's food involved. They're going towards the kitchen.

01:37:05.920 Food is involved. Whatever it is, he would very much like to participate in that. That's one of

01:37:11.640 the great things about dogs. Life doesn't actually have to be particularly exciting for them. They

01:37:16.220 just want in on it, you know? In some ways, I wish I was more like that. You want to help keep them

01:37:22.000 doing the things that they do for as long as possible, you want to make sure that they can

01:37:25.420 walk up the stairs and everything else. That's why the people behind Relief Factor created Friend

01:37:29.160 Factor. It's a daily supplement designed for supporting your healthy mobility and inflammation

01:37:35.220 response in your dog, because mobility isn't just about the big things like running or walks. It's

01:37:40.140 just getting up when you get up, falling into the kitchen or heading to the door, climbing into the

01:37:46.340 car. Your dog has spent his whole life assuming that wherever you're going, he should probably

01:37:50.660 come too. This might help them. Get the first bag of Friend Factor right now. It's $19.95.

01:37:59.700 It's at relieffactor.com. 1-800-4-RELIEF. It's called Friend Factor. 1-800-4-RELIEF

01:38:04.060 or relieffactor.com. 10 seconds, station ID.

01:38:06.460 so what happens what happens what is the ladder that gets you to a society that just completely

01:38:24.220 breaks down first the anonymous stops being anonymous somebody puts a real name on it

01:38:29.880 and then it moves off the dead man

01:38:34.040 and onto his wife and his children.

01:38:39.360 Think of Charlie Kirk.

01:38:41.780 Then institutions stop condemning it

01:38:44.420 and they start explaining it.

01:38:49.620 Then ordinary people who aren't radicals at all

01:38:52.180 start using the phrase

01:38:53.360 that really gives the whole thing away

01:38:56.140 and that is, look, I don't condone it,

01:38:58.120 but where are we so far on this ladder?

01:39:04.200 Then it widens off the famous man on the stage

01:39:08.720 onto the kid that's walking to class

01:39:10.980 with the wrong sticker on his laptop. 0.77

01:39:13.680 Now that person is a traitor.

01:39:17.600 Are we on this ladder anywhere? 0.63

01:39:19.780 Have we stopped yet?

01:39:20.920 We still, you with me?

01:39:23.080 And here's the last one.

01:39:25.540 This is the one that ends countries.

01:39:28.120 the joke stops coming after the killing

01:39:32.000 and starts coming before the killing.

01:39:39.680 You know, I first wrote this list down.

01:39:41.720 I thought of it kind of as a forecast.

01:39:43.460 Then I held it against, you know, the last 12 months.

01:39:47.880 Please call me if you think I'm wrong.

01:39:51.120 It looks like pattern is being completed right now. 0.57

01:39:55.060 The widow was mocked.

01:39:57.020 Done. 1.00

01:39:58.100 Permission phase is everywhere.

01:40:00.980 He said things too, so done.

01:40:03.960 Flyers on the bus.

01:40:06.780 You know.

01:40:11.180 They're aimed not just at the famous man.

01:40:13.620 They're aimed now at whoever had to walk past them on the way to 9 o'clock class.

01:40:18.080 And that's widening.

01:40:19.540 You're a Kirk supporter.

01:40:21.240 You're in TPUSA.

01:40:22.360 Now you're the enemy. 0.94

01:40:24.040 Not just him.

01:40:24.560 Now you are.

01:40:25.220 And last week, a lecturer at a California university on his own account, his own name, no app hiding him, commented under a campus group's announcement of an upcoming event for a man who is still alive.

01:40:39.160 He wrote that someone could do the funniest thing just before Kirk-a-versary.

01:40:43.740 He didn't say the word, but he didn't have to.

01:40:47.760 That's the craft of it all.

01:40:49.980 Deniable enough to keep your job clear enough so everybody reads it and they understand.

01:40:55.120 Scheduled room, a date, a living man, and a joke about what might happen to him.

01:41:00.320 That's the last rung of the ladder.

01:41:02.080 How many jokes have you heard about people killing people like Charlie or Trump or me, a friend of yours?

01:41:16.520 One of them hasn't fallen.

01:41:17.940 The institutions still condemn it, NYU, Maine, Nebraska, Georgetown, South Carolina, Tennessee, UNC Charlotte, every one of them has said this is wrong.

01:41:28.220 It's wrong. It's wrong. It's nothing. It's nothing.

01:41:32.000 That's the last wall standing.

01:41:34.700 And I don't think that's much of a wall because I think most of these universities are saying it because they have to.

01:41:44.040 So anyway, what happens after all that?

01:41:47.940 Only two roads leave here.

01:41:50.440 The first is a mirror, and somebody keeps a ledger,

01:41:55.500 and the other one keeps one back.

01:42:01.280 And after that, nobody is arguing about anything anymore.

01:42:06.480 They're just settling scores, and there's no exit from that.

01:42:11.400 It doesn't end when somebody wins.

01:42:13.480 It ends when everybody is too exhausted to go on.

01:42:16.300 And decades later, they didn't get anything.

01:42:19.640 The second one is Mannheim.

01:42:21.600 Something terrible finally happens, and the people with the pens write the answer,

01:42:25.580 and the watchers in the classroom, and the list, and the license, and the permission slips.

01:42:30.460 Oh, and you'll be oh so popular.

01:42:42.420 At some point...

01:42:45.140 At some point, we have to find a way to come together.

01:42:49.260 Because honestly, what is the end of this?

01:42:55.280 You've heard the story of Rwanda. 0.97

01:43:02.200 Neighbors turned on neighbors, killed neighbors. 0.57

01:43:06.040 Guys and people who had babysitted in the neighbor's house

01:43:11.000 helped raise the kids in the community.

01:43:14.300 went in because they got so whipped up

01:43:16.840 and they killed the neighbors and their kids.

01:43:21.680 They were friends a short time before. 0.98

01:43:24.520 Killed them.

01:43:26.460 And when the war was over, 0.98

01:43:28.900 the people who had family members that killed

01:43:32.160 wanted to kill the others.

01:43:33.980 And they could have. 0.90

01:43:35.720 But they didn't.

01:43:39.900 A very wise leader in town said,

01:43:41.880 There's a tree in every town square, if you will.

01:43:46.320 I want everybody to gather in that town.

01:43:48.800 And I want all the people who did all these things to confess.

01:43:53.260 And if you're sincere, I want you to forgive them.

01:44:01.760 You can't forgive everybody.

01:44:03.260 Some of them have to pay a price.

01:44:04.980 But some that weren't the worst of the worst, if they're sincere, forgive them.

01:44:10.580 Help them back up.

01:44:11.340 They put the country back together as best they could.

01:44:16.320 Before it gets to the slaughter of people, we really need to look at our culture and what we're doing in our culture and then ask ourselves, what's the end game here?

01:44:27.180 Honestly, what is the end game? 0.97

01:44:29.580 Because one side is already talking about tribunals.

01:44:33.220 One is already saying that there's going to be trials for anybody who was supporting Donald Trump.

01:44:39.120 What?

01:44:41.340 We don't do that.

01:44:46.220 I mean, you know, they're taking on the Kennedy Center now.

01:44:49.140 Do we have that?

01:44:50.280 Listen to this politician talking about what's happening at the Kennedy Center.

01:44:53.940 It needs to be redone.

01:44:56.540 But they don't want Donald Trump to do it.

01:44:58.220 Listen to this.

01:44:58.840 This is a congressman.

01:44:59.560 The president's proclivity, his inclination in this administration is towards violence.

01:45:06.140 You've seen the violence on the buildings of the East Wing.

01:45:10.500 It was a very much a historical figure and and he doesn't know the building had so much history.

01:45:18.660 Same thing that happened with the reflecting pool.

01:45:22.760 Violence on buildings.

01:45:25.360 The president of the United States, this particular one, happens to be a builder.

01:45:29.060 That's what he does.

01:45:30.800 And so he is taking things down and rebuilding them.

01:45:34.220 He wants to rebuild the Kennedy Center.

01:45:37.380 That whole press conference was because they will not stand for the violence on buildings.

01:45:42.500 Watch your rhetoric, sir.

01:45:44.800 Watch your rhetoric.

01:45:46.320 The violence on buildings?

01:45:48.100 No, he wants to remodel it.

01:45:50.220 He wants to fix it.

01:45:51.580 That's one thing this guy is good at.

01:45:53.360 He's built his whole life around building.

01:45:57.480 Others are tearing down.

01:45:59.340 Which side are you on?

01:46:01.260 Building up or tearing down?

01:46:03.240 I'm for building up.

01:46:05.520 But pick a side.

01:46:06.800 Pick a side and then try to be a peacemaker because we are going to have to come back together.

01:46:16.260 People usually stay with wireless companies because they don't like switching because it's a hassle.

01:46:22.080 New phone, new number, what?

01:46:24.560 Hours on the phone with customer service?

01:46:26.380 I don't know.

01:46:28.660 Maybe I'll just keep complaining about the company that I have.

01:46:31.560 But switching to Patriot Mobile isn't like that.

01:46:33.560 You can keep your number, you can keep your phone, 100% U.S.-based customer support.

01:46:37.640 They'll help you get activated.

01:46:41.760 And you can get nationwide 5G service with access to any of the three major networks.

01:46:46.980 And once you're switched, your wireless bill is going to be, you know, going to a company now that you actually feel good about supporting.

01:47:34.820 Glenn interviews those brave students next on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:47:53.400 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:47:56.400 So I want to bring in a couple of people that, I mean, I just can't, you know, I was talking about how we, you know, we have to start listening to each other, being decent to each other.

01:48:11.940 And I was in Utah last week for Charlie Kirk's, you know, memorial, one-year memorial.

01:48:18.300 And I said to my son who goes to college, and I said, you know, what are people saying, you know, when you're at the TPUSA table?

01:48:24.820 And he said, Dad, one girl walked by, and excuse me for this, but one girl, he said, probably 19, really pretty, walks by and goes, oh, oh, my throat hurts.

01:48:37.160 And he's like, I just stood there and I was like, what is wrong with you?

01:48:41.300 What is wrong with you?

01:48:43.700 And I said, how'd you answer it?

01:48:45.080 And he said, I didn't.

01:48:45.960 And I said, good.

01:48:47.700 And, you know, if that happens to you, there's how you answer it.

01:48:51.820 You know, Charlie, if you would have had a chance to meet him,

01:48:55.420 Charlie would have listened to you for an hour.

01:48:57.820 And he probably would have ended up liking you.

01:48:59.760 And maybe you would have ended up liking him.

01:49:02.880 Have a good day.

01:49:04.480 Don't fight back.

01:49:05.360 Because you don't, they win.

01:49:06.640 When you fight back like that, they win.

01:49:08.580 Say something to them that makes them think at 2 o'clock in the morning, 0.99

01:49:13.440 oh crap, I feel like a bad human being.

01:49:15.680 Because that's what gets people to change. 0.99

01:49:17.360 you say such such kind things back to them they change at two o'clock in the morning they're not

01:49:23.740 going to change when the crowd is cheering now a couple of days ago i hear about another girl

01:49:30.800 it comes on another campus and she's made a cake for kirkaversary um and she goes up to

01:49:40.000 riley barnes riley beasley this isn't going to be an impossible interview because they're both

01:49:47.160 Riley's one's a boy one's a girl and yes I can identify boys and girls but uh anyway so one of

01:49:54.520 them is a guy one of them is a woman and and I'm gonna have to just say Riley boy Riley girl uh

01:50:00.740 I don't want to answer uh from one of them but welcome to the program these guys they were

01:50:06.380 investigated for exposing this ghoul for for celebrating Charlie Kirk's death and they didn't

01:50:14.400 They didn't dox.

01:50:15.460 They didn't.

01:50:16.620 Let me have them tell the story.

01:50:18.780 Let's start with Riley Barnes. 1.00

01:50:22.220 Girl, go. 0.99

01:50:24.820 Hi.

01:50:25.780 Thank you for having us, first off.

01:50:28.200 But, yeah, we were trying to promote the Charlie Kirk Memorial.

01:50:32.160 And we had a whiteboard that had tally marks for yes and no.

01:50:36.480 And we put the question, do you think that Charlie Kirk deserved to be murdered?

01:50:42.060 This woman came up and she started laughing on our board and she said, oh, I think my

01:50:46.820 cake is pretty funny.

01:50:48.240 We then requested her to remove the lid of the cake, which she gladly did.

01:50:52.280 And then we saw that it said happy Kirkiversary.

01:50:55.360 And then we told her that we were going to take a picture and she sat there and posed

01:51:00.160 for us for 10 minutes.

01:51:04.840 So, I mean, think of this woman's sad life. 1.00

01:51:08.860 She took all that time out to go get a cake, have it made to bring to say to you two.

01:51:14.960 And like she she knows this is going to go on social media because unless she gets just really sick, twisted pleasure for saying it to two people.

01:51:25.780 So what happened then after that?

01:51:28.500 Riley, boy, go.

01:51:30.860 Yeah, well, I'm so glad that you can identify whether we are a boy or a girl.

01:51:35.200 And I'm excited to be on the show here, Glenn.

01:51:37.420 And just to reiterate here, we were actually that day promoting the event that you were speaking at, the Memorial at UVU for Charlie Kirk.

01:51:46.400 So what happens next is we take that photo, and then it ends up online.

01:51:51.380 She poses as Riley Barnes, Riley Girl, says.

01:51:55.080 And this post goes viral, one of the biggest posts that we've ever had.

01:51:59.780 And we've had some big posts before.

01:52:02.120 And for just finally so, she faces a lot of backlash.

01:52:05.720 I think it's vile.

01:52:07.260 I think it's disgusting when you're going up to a group of conservatives on the one year anniversary of Charlie Kirk's murder and showing them a happy Kirkiversary cake when they're doing nothing more than promoting an event to memorialize the tragedy that occurred just 45 minutes down the road at UVU.

01:52:26.540 So I would go and say it's despicable, even if it wasn't a conservative.

01:52:30.220 And I know you didn't mean that, but I mean, I would broaden that.

01:52:32.500 It is despicable.

01:52:33.360 What is ghoulish?

01:52:34.500 It is absolutely ghoulish.

01:52:35.880 Okay, so now the school starts coming after you guys.

01:52:40.120 What did you say on that post?

01:52:43.840 All I said on the post was, what is wrong with students in Utah?

01:52:48.940 Perfectly logical.

01:52:50.360 Okay, so then the university comes after you?

01:52:57.480 Yeah, shockingly.

01:52:58.920 I have no idea what they were thinking to begin with.

01:53:01.920 but what were they what were they coming after you guys for

01:53:06.340 so one of one of the things that the university was alleging when they had summoned us to a

01:53:12.160 meeting was that we participated or were involved in uh doxing they they thought this was some sort

01:53:18.480 of dox campaign and you know luckily enough the university has come to its common senses just

01:53:24.420 yesterday now and and fully dismissed our case because one they were lacking in evidence of any

01:53:30.180 proof that we had any involvement in doxing because we didn't. Doxing is a serious allegation

01:53:36.380 here. Doxing has a criminal element to it. And I can say confidently that I and no other

01:53:44.320 member of our organization has had any involvement or coordination in anything illegal, including

01:53:49.040 doxing. Two, we had great legal counsel to Erica Kirk actually played a major role in us

01:53:56.640 getting that counsel she put some lawyers on retainer for us and and they provided expert

01:54:02.480 legal services which were to to to our benefit and then three at the end of the day the university

01:54:08.800 backed down on this because of the massive backlash they received on social media rightfully so they

01:54:14.680 went after two conservative students for calling out somebody celebrating murder instead of actually

01:54:20.360 addressing the fact that students on their campus are celebrating murder

01:54:24.620 Riley, what do you take from all of this? I've talked about this a couple of times this week. I talked about it in my speech, you know, that when a culture loses, especially its women, when women become coarse and, you know, guys or slugs, we look up to women and it's not your responsibility, but it does.

01:54:49.920 We hold ourselves to a higher standard because women, and women have always been nurturing and kind.

01:54:57.340 They're the ones that do that.

01:54:58.680 We go to war. 1.00

01:55:00.280 Women are the ones that say, knock it off. 0.99

01:55:03.060 And so we do. 1.00

01:55:05.120 I'm seeing women now become as bad as the most ghoulish men I have ever seen. 1.00

01:55:13.040 How rampant is this? 0.96

01:55:16.720 It's honestly very unfortunate.

01:55:18.340 I am saying that this is more of a norm, especially in our younger generations, of them celebrating political violence or just them being violent themselves as a human.

01:55:29.940 And I completely agree with you. 0.91

01:55:31.760 I think that women are way worse than men in this situation. 1.00

01:55:35.460 Women think that they are a protected class so they can do whatever they want. 0.97

01:55:40.220 And that's not okay. 1.00

01:55:42.560 And they shouldn't think that way either.

01:55:44.040 i i wonder

01:55:47.800 has something died in all of us i mean women are naturally more nurturing and it feels like that

01:56:00.820 is dying in there i mean when you have women sitting in a courtroom and saying you know what

01:56:06.320 it would be good for women if we dismiss the fact that she just brutally strangled three 1.00

01:56:15.340 of her kids.

01:56:18.280 You're hearing people holding up pictures of their kids going, yeah, me too, I get it.

01:56:25.140 I mean, what is happening?

01:56:28.360 Yeah, I would love to speak to this one.

01:56:30.900 As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I believe when you're

01:56:34.100 living in these end times that evil will be seen as good and good will be seen as evil and i think

01:56:42.320 this is what's going on in this situation you're seeing all across this country uh radicalization

01:56:49.160 this polarization between you know man and woman left and right whatever it may be but at the end

01:56:55.660 of the day it seems like good is being punished and bad is being celebrated and i think that's

01:57:01.700 something really wrong. Going back to your last question too, it's not only women. Earlier in the

01:57:06.740 year at the University of Utah, we had a man who came up to one of our booths when we were doing

01:57:12.880 a debate style debate at the University of Utah. And this individual ended up getting arrested by

01:57:20.100 university police because he said to us at our booth, as we're conservatives, that he was going

01:57:25.500 to Kirk us. And I don't think it takes much of an imagination to maybe understand what he might

01:57:31.560 have meant by that. But we're seeing this on all fronts. There's a pattern of radicalization being

01:57:37.440 seen at the University of Utah and really just colleges in general across the country.

01:57:42.520 It's weird how, you know, and I think that's why evil took a stand in Utah. You would not expect

01:57:49.960 stuff like this to happen in Utah. And if it can get there, it can get anywhere. You know,

01:57:54.680 you think of these campuses being, you know, soft and, uh, you know,

01:57:58.880 and kind and everything else. And it's, but it's everywhere.

01:58:00.840 It's absolutely everywhere. Um, how are you feeling? Is this,

01:58:04.680 does this embolden you or does this, uh,

01:58:08.980 lead you to say, I know there's a lot of risk in this. I, I, I don't know.

01:58:15.220 What do you,

01:58:15.580 how are people in your community interpreting this for themselves?

01:58:20.980 I'd like to hear from both of you.

01:58:22.160 Yeah, I'll jump on this one first. Something that we're seeing at the University of Utah is

01:58:27.420 insane growth. Conservative students are seeing what the university was trying to levy against

01:58:33.100 the two of us. And they understand that now it's time they need to get involved and they need to

01:58:37.460 stand with us in this fight. And luckily, the case was dismissed. But that doesn't mean that

01:58:43.060 the campus culture has changed either with students or faculty. So we've seen immense

01:58:48.260 growth over this past week and we're we're fortunate to have so many great patriots at

01:58:54.540 the university of utah uh that are willing to stand with us and get involved riley girl go

01:59:01.640 yeah i think the way that riley just phrased that was just beautiful honestly we are seeing a lot

01:59:09.840 of growth with what happened from honestly a lot of students on campus as well the amount of

01:59:15.980 messages or dms that i have gone from students saying this is what i needed to get involved so

01:59:22.540 that people can hear my voice is exactly what we needed to show them and it is inspiring to see

01:59:29.180 that these students are now ready to be on campus to show their voice and to be an open conservative

01:59:37.180 i'm proud of the two of you i i think you are i mean i know that probably doesn't mean anything

01:59:41.500 But, you know, I'm proud of you.

01:59:45.360 I know how hard it is.

01:59:46.760 I know how confusing your life is.

01:59:48.520 I know what you're going through on campus after campus after campus.

01:59:54.960 And to be able to hold strong, not respond in kind.

01:59:59.500 Instead, be kind and respond with the truth.

02:00:04.140 You will change hearts, like I said earlier, in the middle of the night.

02:00:09.320 You may not win the room, but you will change hearts in the middle of the night because that's the place.

02:00:14.160 That's the only place that people really change their heart.

02:00:16.940 Is it two o'clock in the morning when they're laying in bed reviewing what the hell they are as a human being?

02:00:21.540 So congratulations on that.

02:00:23.700 Thank you so much.

02:00:24.480 Thank you.

02:00:25.040 You bet.

02:00:25.720 Thank you, Glenn.

02:00:27.020 You know, what's really tough about this story is the lawyers got involved and not everybody's going to be able to have a lawyer.

02:00:37.260 Not everybody's going to get the attention of, you know, Erica Kirk.

02:00:43.740 And I think that's what really changed this around.

02:00:46.320 Lawyers got involved and lawyers said, really?

02:00:48.080 You want to play this game?

02:00:49.240 And all of a sudden they changed their tune in seconds.

02:00:53.500 We have to be vigilant and we have to be good to each other.

02:00:56.300 And we have to support those organizations that are lawyering up to protect our kids in their college campuses.

02:01:03.380 Because it's a jungle.

02:01:05.200 It really is a jungle.

02:01:06.900 but things are changing. All right, more in a minute. There's a big difference between

02:01:12.220 I can't do this and I don't know how to do this. But when you're scared, those two sentences,

02:01:19.020 they're interchangeable. They sound exactly the same. I can't do this. I can't do this.

02:01:24.340 I don't know how to do this. An unplanned pregnancy brings a hundred questions at once.

02:01:31.440 How am I going to afford this? How am I going to tell my family? What happens to school or work

02:01:35.480 or all the plans I have for my life.

02:01:37.560 I can't do this.

02:01:39.040 I don't know how to do this.

02:01:40.980 When you don't have any answers,

02:01:42.540 it feels like there aren't any answers.

02:01:44.640 And this is where Preborn comes in.

02:01:46.520 Preborn-supported pregnancy centers

02:01:47.940 provide free ultrasounds,

02:01:49.680 compassionate counseling,

02:01:50.680 and practical support

02:01:51.640 to women facing unplanned pregnancies.

02:01:54.160 They don't have to pretend

02:01:55.020 the questions aren't real.

02:01:56.760 They help women begin finding the answers

02:01:58.940 because sometimes what looks impossible

02:02:00.740 from the middle of a frightening moment

02:02:02.900 looks very different

02:02:03.760 when somebody's willing to stand beside you with help with the how.

02:03:20.640 Hi, Glenn.

02:03:21.540 This is Laura.

02:03:22.580 How are you today?

02:03:23.600 I'm very good.

02:03:24.420 I'm very good.

02:03:25.620 I actually was going to give up on talking to you today,

02:03:30.220 but i wanted to say that i am so grateful for the different subjects that your program highlights

02:03:37.720 thank you and uh i actually sent the uh i think it's prager university

02:03:44.720 interview that you had i sent that to my daughter what'd she say and she i just sent it to her today

02:03:53.800 okay so um but we were talking about it and i don't actually explain things very well so

02:04:02.320 she's gonna watch it i'm gonna watch it and then we're gonna go back and talk about it good good

02:04:07.400 good i also really enjoyed your piece on your vacation that was wonderful and i've watched it

02:04:15.460 twice okay and i can see myself watching it again because i thought it was magnificent thank you

02:04:21.720 Well, there's nothing better than somebody's vacation slides, but maybe that's just me.

02:04:26.240 Laura, I've got less than a minute.

02:04:27.420 Go ahead.

02:04:28.720 Okay.

02:04:29.200 I just wanted to say that I think that President Trump needs to hire PR persons just for him,

02:04:36.780 not for the Republicans, not for, you know, any other kind of company that's trying to.

02:04:44.660 Anyway, he needs to hit people emotionally.

02:04:48.740 Yeah. 0.95

02:04:49.100 I will tell you. Thank you for your comment. I will tell you that he does have those people. I think that what they are missing is I think they are in the White House. And what they are missing is what people are feeling emotionally.

02:05:06.600 You know, it'd be good for the people of the White House to listen to the first hour of today's broadcast.

02:05:11.520 Because I gave the facts and then I listened to the people emotionally.

02:05:16.240 And you've got to find a way to put those two things together.
