00:00:15.520 They have been trying to make you feel worthless.

00:01:54.420 A time to raise.

00:02:01.160 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:02:08.900 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:12.340 Hello, America.

00:02:17.260 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:18.600 It is Monday, and boy, we have some interesting things to talk about.

00:02:23.760 I don't know if you saw the Olympics this weekend, the opening ceremonies.

00:02:27.000 I have a lot to say about that.

00:02:29.620 And some of it may surprise you.

00:02:31.440 We'll come up with that a little later on in the program.

00:02:34.000 We have to get to the Supreme Court.

00:02:35.380 Apparently, Joe Biden is going to give a speech today where he is going to talk about the dismantling of the Supreme Court because it's just too extreme right now.

00:02:44.180 The lies and manipulation of the media, just astounding as it happens right in front of our own eyes.

00:02:52.980 You can see it happening in real time.

00:02:55.200 It's unbelievable.

00:02:57.040 Also, some new information about the Secret Service and the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

00:03:04.620 We begin there in 60 seconds.

00:03:06.200 Stand by.

00:03:07.440 I don't know.

00:03:07.860 There's something just, I don't know, extra delicious about biting into a steak or a burger or a piece of chicken or even some delicious seafood,

00:03:15.760 knowing that it was harvested here in the United States by local people.

00:03:20.680 With good ranchers, you're getting meat that's sourced entirely from local farms and ranches here in the United States,

00:03:26.320 which means you're getting the best of the best.

00:03:28.600 No antibiotics, no added hormones, just pure, delicious meat.

00:03:32.520 With these prime deals that are going on right now, you're not only getting incredible savings, but also supporting American farmers.

00:03:39.400 With their July special, which is almost over, you'll get $100 off and free Wagyu burgers.

00:03:45.600 I hate to sound like Homer Simpson, but Wagyu burgers, they're so good.

00:03:50.620 Use the promo code BECK at goodranchers.com.

00:03:53.620 Don't go back to the meat aisle when you're already getting the best delivered to your home.

00:03:58.360 The best part about Good Ranchers, they're built by people who care, honestly care.

00:04:03.820 The founders are just, they're so great, and they just want trustworthy food for their children.

00:04:10.620 And they have created a solution for all of us, a meat revolution, if you will. 0.60

00:04:14.940 It's goodranchers.com.

00:04:16.440 Make sure you use the promo code BECK, goodranchers.com.

00:04:19.360 Well, hello, Stu.

00:04:24.520 Hey, Glenn.

00:04:25.920 Boring weekend.

00:04:26.800 We still have the same candidates as Friday.

00:04:29.500 It was just so weird.

00:04:30.920 I know.

00:04:31.480 Thanks.

00:04:32.340 I know.

00:04:32.920 It's like, what's going on?

00:04:34.740 Of course, you know, we did have that fun of the Olympics where, you know, they had a golden calf on the main stage.

00:04:42.400 You know, for no apparent reason.

00:04:43.980 I don't know what that's all about.

00:04:45.300 We'll get into that a little later on in the program.

00:04:47.320 And there is some news on the Donald Trump shooting, which I find, I don't know, kind of fascinating.

00:04:56.580 First of all, the FBI came out after the FBI came out on, when was it, Thursday?

00:05:06.660 And said, we're not even sure if that was a bullet.

00:05:09.480 It could have been a rabbit that went and hit his ear.

00:05:13.080 We're not really sure yet.

00:05:14.980 Now, in the least shocking news of the day, the FBI has confirmed that Donald Trump was hit by a bullet or shrapnel of a bullet.

00:05:25.100 We don't know.

00:05:26.420 But it was at least part of a bullet.

00:05:28.400 No longer, no longer looking at stray bunny rabbits in the area.

00:05:34.480 Okay, good.

00:05:35.260 So we cut that going for us.

00:05:38.640 Glenn, do you understand what the point of all the bullet truther stuff is?

00:05:44.540 Like, my understanding of it is basically they're saying either it was a piece of metal from a bullet or it was a piece of glass that hit a teleprompter that everyone can see is fully intact still afterward.

00:05:59.640 It hit a piece of glass and it hit him.

00:06:02.820 But, like, why would that change the story at all?

00:06:06.200 Someone still fired bullets at him, right?

00:06:08.820 Like, if it was something that was offline and deflected and only a piece of the shrapnel hit him, what would be the difference in the story?

00:06:17.100 The difference in the story was they're trying to minimize, you know, I saw that one of the reports that I saw this weekend said that it just merely grazed his ear.

00:06:33.300 And that was the phrase, merely grazed his ear.

00:06:36.820 They're trying to do everything they can to minimize the heroic stance.

00:06:41.660 If he was only hit by a piece of glass, then he was never really in danger.

00:06:46.000 If he was hit by a fragment, was he really in danger?

00:06:50.420 And so it minimizes what he, I know, I'm not saying this is rational.

00:06:56.200 I'm just saying this is what they're thinking.

00:06:57.880 They've got to get people to get away from that image of Trump, you know, going down, having blood on his face, and then heroically standing up and saying, fight.

00:07:09.340 They have to destroy that.

00:07:11.060 By the way, there, I mean, it is really, really amazing how this is happening.

00:07:17.660 First, they disappeared Biden and, you know, his record.

00:07:21.620 And then they disappeared all of the stuff that Biden, you know, that they had said that, no, Biden's great.

00:07:27.940 And he's, are you kidding me?

00:07:29.620 He's tip top.

00:07:30.540 He's the smartest in the class.

00:07:32.200 He's so awake.

00:07:33.640 We can't even, we beg him to go to sleep from time to time.

00:07:36.700 They erased all of that when they started attacking him.

00:07:40.620 Now they're erasing what they said about him that was all the bad stuff.

00:07:45.660 And they're making him into a hero again.

00:07:47.780 And Kamala, who they hated, now they love.

00:07:51.480 And at the same time they're doing this, have you noticed that they disappeared?

00:07:56.620 Donald Trump assassination from the autocomplete on Google.

00:07:59.940 He came within a quarter of an inch of a sniper's bullet.

00:08:10.000 If you type in to Google, Trump assassination attempt, you have to put in the entire thing.

00:08:19.860 It doesn't autofill.

00:08:22.820 Now, why is that?

00:08:26.340 Why is that?

00:08:27.280 By the way, if you put in, I think it was Trump assassination into chat GPT and you ask chat GPT,

00:08:43.620 can you tell me, you know, what happened with the Trump assassination attempt?

00:08:48.880 The chat GPT says, I'm sorry, I don't have the latest current information.

00:08:54.400 I can only work off of old stories.

00:08:58.960 And then you put in Kamala Harris now becoming president from vice president.

00:09:06.880 Can you give me the latest?

00:09:07.760 And it gives you all the latest on Kamala Harris.

00:09:10.900 I mean, you can't have it both ways, guys.

00:09:14.200 I mean, we're not this dumb.

00:09:16.380 We're not this dumb.

00:09:17.680 But apparently they think we are.

00:09:19.300 I don't know.

00:09:21.760 You're sure.

00:09:22.580 I mean, you made that as a...

00:09:23.720 Really, you declared that.

00:09:26.200 And you seem to be certain of it.

00:09:28.540 Are you sure we're not this dumb?

00:09:31.340 Because I think there's a chance that we're this dumb.

00:09:36.220 When you look at...

00:09:37.640 When you say the royal we, I think we might, as a country, just be this dumb.

00:09:44.220 I think there's 48% of us that aren't this dumb.

00:09:48.800 Okay.

00:09:49.360 Okay.

00:09:49.860 Okay.

00:09:50.440 That sounds a lot better.

00:09:51.360 I like that.

00:09:52.280 Yeah.

00:09:52.860 I mean, I can't say it's the majority, but 48% of us are not this stupid.

00:09:59.300 Have you heard now ABC went and sat down with the local SWAT team that was supposedly supposed to be on the roof?

00:10:07.320 And they were like, the Secret Service never even talked to us.

00:10:14.520 We were waiting for a briefing before we were there hours before.

00:10:18.420 We never got a briefing the day before.

00:10:20.340 Never got a briefing while we were there.

00:10:21.980 We thought that was really odd because they always get together and brief us.

00:10:26.660 But we weren't on the same channels.

00:10:28.740 They never talked to us.

00:10:30.500 You know, we started thinking things were going wrong.

00:10:34.040 They had him pegged, I think, two hours beforehand.

00:10:43.240 And they had radioed in several times and saying, hey, tell the Secret Service there's this guy.

00:10:51.400 And they had been following him because two hours before, one of the guys from the local SWAT team was leaving.

00:10:59.260 He was checking out of work and he left and he said, hey, there's this guy on the picnic, at a picnic table about 200 yards away.

00:11:07.540 He's watching everything we're doing.

00:11:09.820 And he's just seeing me leave now.

00:11:12.740 You should keep your eye on him.

00:11:14.200 And he took a picture of him and sent it in.

00:11:16.800 And that was the guy.

00:11:18.180 Then they sent another thing to the Secret Service that said, hey, we've been watching this guy now for a couple of hours.

00:11:26.400 And he's now outside of our building and he's snooping around.

00:11:33.480 You should pay attention to him.

00:11:35.340 What do we do?

00:11:36.360 Nothing.

00:11:38.320 Now, what's that all about?

00:11:40.440 And how come the media, I mean, thank you, ABC, for actually airing this, but how come the media just doesn't seem to care about this?

00:11:49.420 Just, no, no.

00:11:53.820 And what do you know about CEO of Gab, Stu, Andrew Torba?

00:11:59.240 I don't know anything about him, actually.

00:12:02.740 Okay.

00:12:03.340 So what do you know about Gab?

00:12:04.940 Gab, if I remember correctly, was set up as sort of an alternative to Twitter when Twitter was seen as like, you know, this would be pre-Elon Twitter.

00:12:16.060 And it was kind of like one of those potential right-wing alternatives to Twitter when conservatives were being censored.

00:12:25.640 I think, you know, I've never used it, but I think it was one of those, you know, Parler was another one in that realm.

00:12:32.780 If I remember, Gab got a reputation for being more of a, it was more associated with like the alt-right at the time.

00:12:43.220 Yes.

00:12:43.560 I can't, I don't know for sure if that's true, but that's what the, you know, the media was talking about.

00:12:48.220 That was my recollection as well.

00:12:49.900 So Andrew Torba, he's the CEO.

00:12:52.320 He said, Thomas Matthew Crooks may have had an account on our platform.

00:12:57.220 He discovered this after getting an emergency disclosure request from law enforcement agencies.

00:13:03.140 He said, I'm unable to confirm that it was definitely Crooks, but it was somebody who he thinks was Crooks posted on the site nine times total.

00:13:12.860 Um, Thomas Crooks appears to have used the social media gab to spread messages in support of president Joe Biden.

00:13:22.220 While the account made very few points, a post on the site, a majority of them were in support of president Biden.

00:13:28.220 A number of posts in particular expressed support for president Biden's COVID lockdowns, border policies, and executive orders.

00:13:35.280 In one, the poster mocks someone sharing an election projection writing in February, 2021.

00:13:42.100 You, uh, didn't you also think Biden would lose, lose in a landslide in 2020?

00:13:47.520 I wouldn't be really confident in your election predictions.

00:13:51.040 In another thread, the user defended Biden's border policies with a study that compared crime statistics for undocumented immigrants, legal immigrants, and American citizens in Texas.

00:14:02.340 So we still don't have any idea what his motive was, which I think at this point I take as code as, yeah, he's definitely on the left.

00:14:14.520 Right.

00:14:14.940 Because we would certainly know, yeah, if the alternate were true.

00:14:18.500 You would certainly know.

00:14:19.520 You would certainly know.

00:14:20.800 They never do this and say, we don't know, but, you know, we have a few Facebook posts that look like he was in support of Trump.

00:14:29.280 They would just call him a MAGA guy.

00:14:31.000 That's all they would do.

00:14:33.100 So, you got that going for you.

00:14:36.440 It is difficult to call someone a MAGA guy when what they've done is fire a bullet at the guy who created the MAGA slogan.

00:14:44.900 Or at least popularized it.

00:14:46.580 It just seems to be kind of a weird stance.

00:14:49.600 I don't know that people would go along with that.

00:14:52.060 But, as you point out, well, 48% of people are there and I don't know about the rest at this point.

00:14:58.180 So, maybe it would work.

00:14:59.260 I mean, what they're trying to do with Kamala Harris, they obviously think they can make people believe anything.

00:15:05.920 They, you know, do you see the New York Magazine cover?

00:15:10.480 Kamalot.

00:15:12.000 Like, not Kamalot, but Kamalot.

00:15:14.540 Kamalot? 0.86

00:15:15.080 Kamalot.

00:15:15.520 This is the summary.

00:15:19.000 In a matter of days, the Democratic Party discovered its future was actually in the White House all along.

00:15:26.580 Like, this person, they've been, they have been reporting negatively on for years.

00:15:34.380 For years.

00:15:35.180 Because, at the time, what served them was Joe Biden's narrative that he was the one doing all the work and she was actually kind of a failure and not really doing anything.

00:15:44.140 And while Biden's side was leaking that stuff to the media, they happily reported it.

00:15:48.780 And now that it benefits them that Kamala is actually a genius and she's Barack Obama 2.0 and look how amazing she is. 1.00

00:15:56.620 Because now that that's the narrative that benefits them, that's the one they peddle to the seemingly 52% here.

00:16:04.540 I have a question for you that I hadn't thought of until I read that story and other stories today.

00:16:12.260 And I want to pose it to you and see where you are because I may be changing my opinion a little bit on something.

00:16:19.780 We'll get to there in just a second.

00:16:21.800 Stand by first.

00:16:22.800 Our sponsor is Relief Factor Sleep.

00:17:42.480 10-second station ID.

00:17:43.520 So, Stu, I know the left always does win-win, right?

00:18:02.640 It's always lose-lose for us, win-win for them.

00:18:05.660 It's like, ah, we just destroyed the United States, but we were trying for the world.

00:18:10.020 Oh, well.

00:18:11.200 You know what I mean?

00:18:13.520 And I've been thinking that it was just DEI and everything else that they got Kamala for.

00:18:20.660 But what do you think of this?

00:18:22.180 That this was kind of their design the whole time.

00:18:26.400 That if he made it, great.

00:18:28.560 If not, she is a puppet that will do everything that they want her to do anyway. 1.00

00:18:35.080 And she's even more left than Elizabeth Warren or anybody that she was serving with in the Senate. 0.97

00:18:42.760 She may be the biggest leftist over Bernie Sanders in politics today. 0.99

00:18:48.360 And so she comes in with all of the cover of Joe Biden.

00:18:53.460 Yeah, and she could, you know, could Kamala Harris win a primary? 1.00

00:18:58.900 I mean, we obviously saw that the answer to that in 2020 was no.

00:19:02.520 I mean, even in this situation, even if Biden had dropped out in January and opened it up, she probably doesn't win the primary.

00:19:10.060 So this is a way to get her as the candidate.

00:19:14.300 And, you know, as you point out, she's not a moderate.

00:19:18.860 This is not a person who's aligned with the average American.

00:19:25.360 She is someone who has been incredibly liberal.

00:19:28.800 And thank God she ran in 2020. 1.00

00:19:31.360 Because if she didn't, if she was just kind of plucked up as a VP candidate and not hadn't just run a campaign,

00:19:37.520 we wouldn't have seen her revealing all of the stuff that she actually believes.

00:19:42.780 She went on that stage and had to compete with Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and blurted out a lot of stuff that is now on record that she kind of didn't admit before.

00:19:52.540 So thank God she ran.

00:19:55.000 But again, the media is not going to cover it.

00:19:57.960 They're going to make her out to be, I mean, it's Kamala, right?

00:20:01.380 That's what they're going to do.

00:20:02.880 And it's only been, I mean, we talked about this at the time.

00:20:07.880 If Kamala Harris is the nominee, they're going to make her out to be the greatest person of all time.

00:20:11.820 They're going to completely reverse themselves on her. 1.00

00:20:14.220 And this period will be, you know, this period of doubt about how well she's doing on the border, that she's not well liked, that her staff doesn't like her, all these things that have been leaked out there, all going to go disappear.

00:20:24.940 It has been breathtaking how quickly they've done it, though.

00:20:28.380 It has been breathtaking.

00:20:29.440 I mean, oh, it's incredible how fast things have been deleted and gone down the memory hole.

00:20:35.480 And by the way, I just want to remind you, read 1984.

00:20:39.740 The memory hole is really, really important.

00:20:44.220 That's what they did to people who they were torturing and who were standing against the state.

00:20:51.720 They would show them the evidence during the torture.

00:20:55.020 Oh, you mean this picture?

00:20:56.780 Oh, you saw this with your eyes?

00:20:58.920 Oh, you remember this?

00:21:00.840 And then they would shove it into a hole in the wall, and it would be incinerated.

00:21:05.980 See, that doesn't exist.

00:21:08.260 I mean, it's so important that you understand what's being done.

00:21:13.080 It is really, truly insidious.

00:21:17.240 But apparently, people are fine.

00:21:19.520 Only 37% of Biden voters were enthusiastic about him in early July.

00:21:24.400 Now, 81% of Harris voters are enthusiastic about her.

00:21:28.660 Now, this is done by a Democratic pollster.

00:21:32.540 But I kind of buy into that.

00:21:35.500 Yeah, it's roughly true.

00:21:36.400 You can see numbers that are similar in plenty of public polling.

00:21:41.040 And look, it's obvious.

00:21:42.960 One of the big problems they had with Biden was that he was old and lethargic.

00:21:47.660 And it was 86% of voters overall, not just Democrats.

00:21:51.380 86% of voters said that they thought he was too old to be president and run again.

00:21:57.340 And they turned that, the last number I saw on Kamala Harris on that number was two.

00:22:02.240 So they turned their biggest problem from 86% to 2%.

00:22:06.120 That's a positive.

00:22:07.820 I mean, yes, Kamala Harris is a moron. 1.00

00:22:09.320 And now they're trying to label.

00:22:10.300 Yeah, you know, yeah, she's liberal. 0.99

00:22:11.920 Yeah, she has word salads. 1.00

00:22:13.100 Those are all things.

00:22:14.300 But I mean, over and over and over again, I was talking to people that I know,

00:22:16.800 and they were like, oh, who cares if Biden drops out?

00:22:19.500 Kamala's not going to be a threat.

00:22:20.600 But she probably is still the underdog here. 0.99

00:22:23.260 But she's much more difficult to beat than Biden was.

00:22:26.560 Biden was a corpse.

00:22:27.900 Oh, yeah.

00:22:28.900 Yeah.

00:22:29.600 Yeah.

00:22:30.440 Absolutely true.

00:22:32.380 Trump is still leading in, you know, places where he counts.

00:22:36.420 National polls don't make any difference.

00:22:38.700 You've got to look at the local polls and especially the swing states.

00:22:42.780 And Donald Trump is still up by two points there.

00:22:45.540 But there's a lot of ground to cover in between.

00:24:09.440 So, Stu, I found something on themendproject.com.

00:24:28.040 This is a place that helps people get away from mental abuse and physical abuse.

00:24:36.060 And now I'm only reading it just because, you know, I'm not tying this to anything.

00:24:42.260 Somebody said to me, I read it, you know, here at home.

00:24:44.980 My wife was like, I think I see what you're saying.

00:24:47.280 And I'm like, I'm not saying anything.

00:24:48.620 I'm talking about mental abuse.

00:24:50.280 I'm talking about people unlike the people broadly in the United States of America being mentally abused.

00:24:59.100 I'm just talking about people who are in a situation and need to get out.

00:25:03.720 Okay.

00:25:04.700 Make no mistake.

00:25:05.620 This is from an abusive getaway from abuse website.

00:25:10.680 Make no mistake.

00:25:11.420 Lying is a type of abuse.

00:25:13.340 We all lie sometimes, don't we?

00:25:15.300 So, when is it abusive?

00:25:16.420 Lying is one of the most common tactics an abuser uses to gain power and control over their victim.

00:25:23.240 Lying confuses the victim's reality while helping the liar to shrink from their responsibility in the situation,

00:25:30.340 often shifting the blame to the victim.

00:25:33.520 Bosses, significant others, friends, family may use lying as a form of covert emotional abuse.

00:25:40.580 Lying also paves the way for other types of abuse, such as physical abuse.

00:25:44.220 Well, everybody makes mistakes or even little lies, but they can quickly culminate into full-on manipulation of a person or a situation.

00:25:53.080 A central element to covert abuse is stressful confusion.

00:25:58.000 You have an example, maybe, of that, Stu?

00:26:01.460 Stressful confusion.

00:26:02.760 This is the emotion abusers want their victims to feel when lying to them.

00:26:07.160 The covertly abusive tactic of lying increases the victim's anxiety levels and cause their thinking to become clouded.

00:26:15.320 A confused victim is less likely to respond quickly, to go with their gut, or confront the liar.

00:26:23.380 Now, that's the open.

00:26:24.320 Now, let me give you a few and just see if you can find any example.

00:26:27.280 I know you're not abused, Stu, but maybe you know somebody that is being abused.

00:26:31.240 Black lies. 1.00

00:26:33.900 One, black lies are bald-faced lies the abuser uses to gain something for themselves at the cost of the one being deceived.

00:26:42.840 Think, for an example, of a realtor who lies about the condition of underground plumbing into a home to get a higher price for its sale and thereby gains a better commission.

00:26:53.440 In other words, the realtor exploits the buyer's lack of current knowledge out of self-interest.

00:26:58.440 Similarly, a common lie used by abusers is, I deposited the check.

00:27:04.120 However, if that check was deposited into the abuser's personal account instead of the joint account, the abuser has gained financial power over the victim.

00:27:13.200 If the check was never deposited, the perpetrator then gains power of confusion and anxiety when the victim wonders where the money went or if the money ever existed to begin with.

00:27:23.600 Upon further inspection, some of these deceptions can be identified.

00:27:28.380 However, at their core, these lies are statements used by abusers to gain something over the victim.

00:27:34.900 Power, money, status, or control.

00:27:39.760 I'm sorry, you probably don't relate to any of this, Stu, because I'm just talking to people who are being abused.

00:27:44.640 Right.

00:27:45.620 White lies. 0.97

00:27:46.860 Everybody knows this type of deception, which is unfortunately common.

00:27:51.120 White lies are small, seeming dismissive obstructions of reality that are harder to disprove. 0.95

00:27:56.900 They are sometimes used for good reasons, such as telling a friend you like her new haircut when you don't so you won't hurt her feelings.

00:28:03.160 Because white lies are less traceable, however, they carry greater power to manipulate others.

00:28:09.080 Their most insidious use is when the abuser tells white lies about the victim to others, because those lies slowly influence others to view the victim in a different light.

00:28:20.700 Can you think of an example?

00:28:22.920 For an example, during particularly stressful times, an abuser may tell friends and family that everything is good, we're just fine.

00:28:31.720 However, the victim's behavior makes him or her appear erratic, unpredictable, and at times unstable to those close to the couple.

00:28:39.280 Over time, this tactic effectively isolates the victim from others.

00:28:43.840 Each individual lie might be too small to notice or address at first, but over time and with repetition, they will successfully shift others' perception of the individual.

00:28:55.680 Three, half-truths.

00:28:57.460 Half-truths are versions of what happened that helped the abuser to avoid responsibility in a situation.

00:29:03.580 The liar relies on the fact that they are telling just enough of the truth to seem credible.

00:29:10.360 For example, recounting a disagreement by saying,

00:29:12.980 he yelled at me while leaving out the events which led up to the yelling.

00:29:17.060 This omission of important facts paints a picture that is more favorable for the abuser.

00:29:22.800 Four, broken promises.

00:29:24.720 This form of lying is difficult for abusers to accept when confronted.

00:29:29.900 They will attempt to give themselves the benefit of the doubt.

00:29:32.380 An abuser who promises to come by your work party, then breaks that promise by refusing to show up at the last minute, is a liar.

00:29:39.520 They will try to excuse their actions by claiming that they had a hard day or didn't think he really wanted them to come.

00:29:44.800 Like the white lie, broken promises can make the victim look bad in front of others.

00:29:48.880 Remember, a broken promise is the same as a lie.

00:29:51.760 Forgetting, similar to broken promises claiming to forget a commitment or an obligation such as,

00:29:58.480 oh, I forgot you wanted me to be home early tonight, is manipulation.

00:30:02.620 It can convince the victim that the abuser made a simple mistake.

00:30:07.660 Constant forgetfulness should not be dismissed.

00:30:11.640 And then finally, denial.

00:30:14.320 Liars are so comfortable with telling lies that they will do anything to avoid getting caught or taking responsibility.

00:30:21.760 Even if that means flat out denying the truth, no matter how obvious it may be.

00:30:27.900 If someone denies the reality of facts and evidence when presented, they are likely a liar.

00:30:34.760 Remember, emotionally healthy people do not habitually lie.

00:30:38.940 Especially concerning relationships with loved ones, transparency should be sought after.

00:30:45.160 Because that's what connects people.

00:30:48.000 A genuinely loving partner, parent, sibling, friend, etc. will not continually lie.

00:30:53.440 And that is what divides people and prevents authentic relationships.

00:30:58.120 Any combination and frequency of these types of lies should be noted and addressed.

00:31:02.920 If this blog helps you see the lies you're facing from a partner or another, maybe a president or any...

00:31:09.880 I did what?

00:31:10.700 I just lost my place here.

00:31:12.480 Anyway, I just thought that was interesting about how lies are mental abuse.

00:31:22.100 And gosh, I don't know if you saw any use in any of that in your own life.

00:31:29.920 But if you're constantly being lied to, you should make a concerted effort to avoid that liar.

00:31:39.760 Because they are manipulating you.

00:31:43.940 My gosh, I just thought of this.

00:31:46.100 This could be applied to the media and to the left.

00:31:49.600 Holy cow, because black lives, white lives, half-truths, broken promises. 1.00

00:31:58.520 And I forget that.

00:31:59.320 Did I say that?

00:31:59.980 I don't even know how I said that.

00:32:02.020 Huh.

00:32:04.020 Interesting.

00:32:04.560 It's hard to know if that was an abuse site that you were reading from or an internal democratic campaign strategy memo.

00:32:11.900 It really does describe how...

00:32:14.220 Or the press.

00:32:15.040 Yeah, the press for sure.

00:32:16.380 Yeah.

00:32:17.260 The press.

00:32:17.760 I mean, the one thing about...

00:32:20.760 Politicians lie.

00:32:22.560 Yeah.

00:32:23.080 Politicians have always lied, told half-truths, etc., etc.

00:32:28.060 The difference here now is it's not just a politician.

00:32:34.620 It's the entire system around that politician.

00:32:40.700 It's the entire party around that.

00:32:43.680 And then it's the one that is supposed to be your friend.

00:32:48.280 If you had a friend and you found out they were in cahoots with the abuser, somebody was lying to you, and they were telling you, it is you.

00:32:57.840 It really is you.

00:32:58.860 No.

00:32:59.900 Anybody who tells you that he's not a good guy, I'm telling you right now, they're part of the problem.

00:33:06.680 You know, they're probably abusive.

00:33:10.060 You need to stay away from them because they'll abuse you.

00:33:13.520 Yeah.

00:33:14.060 That's the real problem.

00:33:15.520 Politicians lie all the time.

00:33:17.420 We know that.

00:33:18.040 And I don't know, there's something about this era that makes it more difficult and the lies more toward the black lies than the white lies. 0.71

00:33:28.300 You know, there is the...

00:33:29.220 I was just listening to somebody, some analyst talking about this, and they were talking about it was in the realm of conspiracy theories.

00:33:34.480 And they were saying that a lot of people online that spread conspiracy theories are more capable of doing it because there's so much out there.

00:33:46.100 Like, they'll make some crazy claim, this is going to happen at noon, you know, and it doesn't happen.

00:33:53.980 But there's so much other stuff going on, so many other claims that person will wind up reading that day, so many other news stories that in three days, they don't necessarily remember the guy who said something was going to happen at noon and it didn't happen.

00:34:07.320 And so, we get, like, immune almost to people making claims and being wrong.

00:34:11.960 We don't discount them anymore.

00:34:14.080 We don't have that same process.

00:34:15.560 You know, I constantly go back, and it's just, like, antiquated history, but thinking that, you know, John Kerry arguably lost the election for the claim of,

00:34:25.780 I actually did support the $87 billion before I voted against it, or whatever that quote was, that was a big part of that.

00:34:32.660 Because he, it seemed like he was, he just was lying.

00:34:36.740 He had this stance and he just wanted to reverse it to win this election.

00:34:40.160 And the American people kind of rose up and were like, that's crazy.

00:34:42.720 We can't vote for a guy who does that.

00:34:44.180 Like, now that's so quaint.

00:34:47.800 Like, saying that you voted for a policy.

00:34:51.540 It is like a covered wagon.

00:34:52.940 Yeah, it feels like you're on the Oregon Trail.

00:34:55.800 Like, you know, it really, it's insane.

00:34:59.060 And I think, like, part of that is, like, is what's happening here.

00:35:03.620 The media with, I think, in the Trump era in particular, has taken the mask off and said,

00:35:09.800 we no longer can be this subtle force leaning on the scale a little bit to push voters toward the thing we want.

00:35:19.920 It's, this is too important.

00:35:21.520 Donald Trump's too evil.

00:35:23.320 Conservatives are too bad.

00:35:24.620 We now have to straight out be activists.

00:35:28.800 We have to be left-wing partisan operatives all the time.

00:35:35.900 And it doesn't matter if we just said Kamala Harris was actually abusive to her staff and couldn't get anything done and failed on the border as the borders are. 1.00

00:35:46.900 We now have to just say she was never the borders are, and she's wonderful, and everyone around her loves her, and this is Kamalaad.

00:35:55.160 And we just have to reverse ourselves, and that's it.

00:35:58.060 And we just push through it.

00:36:00.520 And that is a, it is a, it's not that much different in goal, but it is totally different in approach.

00:36:07.060 And it's so in our faces, and yet, you know, a good chunk of the American people don't see it because they don't want to see it.

00:36:14.400 They want to believe their side is right.

00:36:17.180 They want to believe their side is just, that they're fighting this moral crusade.

00:36:21.940 And so they just go along with it.

00:36:24.360 And I don't know, is it going to work?

00:36:26.260 It didn't work in 2016.

00:36:28.520 Joe Biden's currently somehow president of the United States, so I guess maybe it did work in 2020.

00:36:34.000 Does it work again in 2024?

00:36:36.420 The media did seem to control this election in a way I didn't think it was possible.

00:36:40.180 They got the, they got the candidate thrown out.

00:36:42.320 The guy who won the primary is no longer the candidate because largely the media decided to become journalists for two weeks.

00:36:50.880 It was a coup.

00:36:52.340 It was a coup.

00:36:53.460 It was an orchestrated coup.

00:36:54.900 Yeah.

00:36:55.040 And if they can do whatever they want with the laws and the media and everything else, we know that there's all kinds of plotting and planning.

00:37:08.160 Otherwise, the White House would have said what they were doing to get all new registered voters, which was the first one.

00:37:15.980 I think the first executive order that he signed was an all hands on deck register voters for the next four years, all government wide.

00:37:25.020 And they won't disclose what that means or what they've been doing, which is an abuse, again, of our money and of our trust.

00:37:32.940 But they won't abuse that if they can fix the election, they will fix the election and they will feel justified because the threat is too big.

00:37:44.180 The ends always justify the means.

00:37:47.780 All right.

00:37:47.940 Back in just a minute.

00:37:49.080 Are you living off the grid?

00:37:50.540 And I mean, completely off the grid, like you're listening to the show on a crank radio or something.

00:37:54.460 You've got no phone, no computer, no internet, no smart refrigerator, none of that stuff.

00:38:00.600 If so, what do you know that I don't know?

00:38:07.120 You would also probably need LifeLock.

00:38:11.080 It might be safe, but let's be real.

00:38:15.380 It's probably not you that is off the grid like that.

00:38:20.020 You might not need LifeLock, but you might.

00:38:22.620 But if you're totally off the grid, nothing is online, maybe.

00:38:28.160 But it's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft affect all of our lives, especially when you're connected like you and I are.

00:38:34.540 Lots of places can even accidentally expose your personal information, and it happens all the time.

00:38:40.000 That's why LifeLock monitors millions of data points every second to look for risks to your identity.

00:38:46.680 And it'll detect and also alert you to any potential threat that you may not spot on your own.

00:38:53.720 This just came to my co-writer of the new book, Michaela.

00:38:58.320 She wrote with me, Chasing Embers.

00:39:01.460 And she came to me just a couple of weeks ago, and she's like, Glenn, somebody stole the title from my house.

00:39:07.560 I can't believe it.

00:39:08.320 I feel like I'm a commercial.

00:39:09.380 And I'm like, well, you're not a commercial, and fortunately, you didn't listen to the commercial, but you will be a commercial.

00:39:17.360 You're a commercial right now, Michaela.

00:39:19.600 Don't do what Michaela did and think it can't happen to you.

00:39:44.560 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:39:57.200 So where is your money going when you start investing it?

00:40:00.300 What are the things that you might be funding that you don't even know about?

00:40:03.440 You know, I think we were just talking about this.

00:40:05.320 It feels like the world is more and more out of control every single day.

00:40:09.160 And you have to focus on the things that you can control.

00:40:12.880 If you watch the Olympics, you may know that the world has gone a little woke, a little crazy, and you probably have avoided those types of companies when you've gone to purchase things in stores.

00:40:22.480 That's important.

00:40:23.200 It really is.

00:40:23.780 But Constitution Wealth can help you with maybe even a bigger chunk of this because your investment dollars may be hundreds of thousands of dollars we're talking about that you're saving up for investment that might be in accounts and funds you don't even really look at.

00:40:38.200 And so hundreds of thousands of dollars supporting the same companies that you're avoiding buying in the stores, that doesn't make any sense, right?

00:40:44.400 Align those things.

00:40:45.660 You can still get great returns.

00:40:46.940 There's great companies out there.

00:40:48.220 And you can reduce your investments in ESG and DEI and all that nonsense.

00:40:52.320 Avoid it if you want to avoid it.

00:40:53.860 You can reduce all those investments.

00:40:57.840 And if you do that, you can help fight the culture war, help support the parallel economy with your money and your voice.

00:41:05.180 This is really important.

00:41:06.540 It's something that not everybody thinks about, but you can make a difference here with the people at Constitution Wealth.

00:41:11.820 They know this stuff.

00:41:12.740 They can navigate you around the waters you want to avoid.

00:41:38.260 My new book, Chasing Embers, it is a novel that ties right into finding the truth and how much is the truth worth.

00:41:46.640 It's a young adult fiction book, but we're getting all kinds of reviews.

00:41:50.860 I purchased this book by my 14-year-old daughter.

00:41:54.240 She read it in one day.

00:41:55.560 She loved it.

00:41:56.880 She put the book down and said, when's the next one coming out?

00:42:00.140 No cursing, no inappropriate material, no agenda, just good storytelling.

00:42:03.860 I started it for myself.

00:42:05.580 My 13-year-old son rented in a weekend and can't wait for the next one to come out.

00:42:09.640 Got this book yesterday as an adult.

00:42:11.920 I've enjoyed it so much, I know my children will as well.

00:42:14.680 Great story, very much needed in these times when history is being rewritten before our eyes.

00:42:20.020 It is to help our children and you.

00:42:23.620 I think you'll enjoy this thriller as well.

00:42:26.080 It's a great way to understand what's going on, what the consequences are of not speaking out, and then what the consequences are in the aftermath of speaking out after it's a little too late.

00:42:41.680 It's called Chasing Embers.

00:42:43.260 Make sure you get it wherever books are sold.

00:42:45.240 It's out now.

00:42:46.120 And you can rate and review it.

00:42:48.640 It helps us with the book reviews.

00:42:50.980 It helps us with the sales.

00:42:52.720 You can go to Amazon or wherever you rate and review books and give it a rating and a review for us, if you will.

00:43:00.540 It's Chasing Embers, available everywhere now.

00:43:03.940 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:05.640 There was a time when American manufacturing was the envy of the world.

00:43:10.100 If it was made in America, it was the quality the world trusted. 0.56

00:43:15.740 Most of that is gone now.

00:43:17.660 Eleven years ago, American Giants set out to change that.

00:43:20.080 They started producing quality American clothing with American cotton grown by American farmers.

00:43:27.080 The American workers were all the way through every step of the way.

00:43:31.140 It created jobs for sewers, cutters, factory workers in towns all across the country.

00:43:38.420 Jobs that bring pride, purpose, and stitch people together.

00:43:42.140 This month, as we celebrate our independence, I ask you to support the vision and the craftsmanship and the determination of American Giant.

00:43:48.520 They produced a great-looking t-shirt in three colors that says American Made across the chest.

00:43:53.900 Wear it proudly to all your cookouts and whatever it is that you're doing this summer.

00:43:59.840 American Made.

00:44:01.300 That's you.

00:44:18.360 We'll be right back.

00:44:48.360 We'll be right back.

00:45:18.360 Hello, America. Welcome to Monday. This is the Glenn Beck Program, and, oh, I've got a few topics that I want to address.

00:45:26.620 First of all, Kamala Harris and that world-famous laugh of hers.

00:45:31.600 I mean, don't we all love it?

00:45:33.560 I mean, we all just, it's so great.

00:45:36.600 Apparently, it apparently is not a vulnerability. According to the New York Times, it's her most effective weapon.

00:45:45.880 Get ready for this one.

00:45:50.020 Also, we talk about the Olympics and the opening ceremonies coming up.

00:45:53.880 Stand by. First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

00:45:55.940 Would you like to be less woke than the Secret Service?

00:46:00.260 Yes.

00:46:01.000 Okay, how about this?

00:46:02.100 Would you like to have better communication than the Secret Service?

00:46:05.080 Wow, yes again, huh?

00:46:06.120 Well, I mean, based on what we've seen lately, that shouldn't be too hard to accomplish, should it?

00:46:11.520 As it turns out, it's not.

00:46:13.060 You can switch your mobile phone service to a company that's going to give you amazing service,

00:46:18.200 all on the major towers, with a company that is absolutely not woke.

00:46:24.240 But they are wide awake, and an absolute great price as well.

00:46:28.800 In fact, when you switch Patriot Mobile, you're going to get a whole month for free.

00:46:32.620 Great way to start your new service.

00:46:34.500 They're America's only Christian conservative mobile company,

00:46:37.920 and their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms,

00:46:43.080 and to glorify God always, which was not the intent or the mission statement, I think, of the Olympics.

00:46:49.240 But what do I know?

00:46:51.100 They offer dependable nationwide coverage, so you can access any of the three major networks that everybody's on.

00:46:56.920 They have affordable, excellent plans,

00:46:58.760 and their 100% U.S.-based customer service team is going to help make switching really easy.

00:47:03.340 Go to PatriotMobile.com slash Beck, or call 972-PATRIOT.

00:47:07.140 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck, 972-PATRIOT.

00:47:13.580 Okay, if you've been watching the news, as Stu and I have been, and as we discussed last hour,

00:47:18.840 the transformation of the media is absolutely astounding.

00:47:26.000 How they have gone from, we don't like Kamala, to she's the greatest is amazing.

00:47:33.300 There's a video editor, Maze Moore, and he made a montage of the media hating on Kamala Harris.

00:47:41.400 Listen, cut 10, please.

00:47:43.160 There are reports that say that you have the lowest approval rating of any vice president.

00:47:47.000 Well, there are polls that also say I have great approval ratings.

00:47:50.900 Swing voters don't like Harris.

00:47:53.120 How big a drag is Kamala Harris on the ticket? 1.00

00:47:55.980 She's a pretty big drag. 1.00

00:47:56.900 I think she was arguably Biden's worst political decision.

00:48:00.080 They don't like her.

00:48:00.720 There's lots of reasons they don't like her.

00:48:02.160 Kamala Harris's approval rating is now at 28%,

00:48:05.120 which is an historic low for any modern vice president.

00:48:08.840 We're hearing it from mainstream media.

00:48:10.880 One outlet after another, one leak after another, that Kamala Harris is the worst vice president ever, 1.00

00:48:18.660 the worst politician ever.

00:48:20.620 We don't see the vice president.

00:48:22.820 What people are saying to me, and I'm sure they're saying it to you,

00:48:25.120 where is the vice president?

00:48:26.480 Some of us officials are feeling that she came off looking unprepared for inevitable questions

00:48:31.400 about when she might visit the southern border.

00:48:33.840 We've been to the border.

00:48:34.860 You haven't been to the border.

00:48:36.820 And I haven't been to Europe.

00:48:39.100 And I mean, I don't understand the point that you're making.

00:48:42.540 The point that Lester Holt was making was obvious to anyone else who was watching this interview,

00:48:47.740 which is that the issues at the border are inextricably linked with the portfolio that she's been given.

00:48:54.120 The border is secure.

00:48:55.240 We have a secure border.

00:48:59.140 Bidenomics is working.

00:49:00.560 Prices have gone up.

00:49:06.440 And families and individuals are dealing with the realities of that bread costs more, that gas costs more.

00:49:18.160 And we have to understand what that means.

00:49:20.800 That's about the cost of living going up.

00:49:23.340 He picked Kamala Harris to be his running mate.

00:49:26.900 She was ranked and is ranked as the most liberal senator in the United States Senate. 0.97

00:49:31.580 So he could have gone the other way.

00:49:32.840 But he went to the left.

00:49:34.740 Joe Biden is running for re-election.

00:49:36.640 And I will be his ticket mate.

00:49:38.700 We'll stop.

00:49:39.240 We'll stop.

00:49:40.520 Sit.

00:49:43.180 Okay, they didn't like her for years.

00:49:45.600 Listen to this from the New York Times.

00:49:48.980 A comedy critic weighs in on Kamala Harris's laugh. 0.78

00:49:53.680 Kamala Harris has an easy laugh. 0.97

00:49:58.760 To the campaign running against her, this appears to be a vulnerability to exploit.

00:50:02.860 Donald J. Trump jumped on it when unveiling a nickname for her recently, Laughin' Kamala Harris.

00:50:09.220 Adding, you can tell a lot about a laugh.

00:50:12.900 Complications of her guffawing circulated online this week.

00:50:16.120 Opposition research from the National Republican Senatorial Committee included her inappropriate laughter under the subject heading, Weird.

00:50:25.040 Well, the first thing to say about this is simply, LOL.

00:50:31.100 Far from a liability, her laugh is one of the most effective weapons. 0.98

00:50:35.440 Only in an era where everything gets politicized would a campaign come out aggressively against a boisterous laugh.

00:50:43.380 What's next?

00:50:44.180 Running against puppies and ice cream?

00:50:47.260 Laughter transcends party politics.

00:50:50.280 And it's helped the messaging from everyone from Ronald Reagan to John F. Kennedy.

00:50:54.300 And yet, in his bluntly insinuating style, Trump is tapping into something.

00:50:58.880 That the traditional image of leadership is more of a stoic face than a happy convulsion.

00:51:05.140 Now, could you just play some of the things, Sarah, that we have where she's laughing and just tell me if this is an asset or a liability?

00:51:14.600 Just the school bus thing and anything where she's just in love with it.

00:51:19.960 I love school buses.

00:51:22.660 She does love the school buses.

00:51:24.640 Huge fan of school buses.

00:51:26.680 School buses, Venn diagrams, what was it?

00:51:32.600 I can never think of the wording of it, but it's unburdened by what has been.

00:51:38.320 Unburdening.

00:51:39.080 Whatever that is, whatever she's been unburdened of.

00:51:41.320 You know what also excites me, among the many things?

00:51:44.940 I'm excited about electric school buses.

00:51:48.120 I love electric school buses.

00:51:50.980 I just love them for so many reasons.

00:51:55.900 Maybe because I went to school on a school bus.

00:51:59.060 Raise your hand if you went to school on a school bus.

00:52:02.700 Right?

00:52:05.740 Through the lens of something I love, which is to always think about complex issues through the frame of a Venn diagram.

00:52:13.580 I love Venn diagrams.

00:52:15.060 I love, I do, I love Venn diagrams.

00:52:19.340 So.

00:52:19.620 You see what I'm saying?

00:52:20.220 She is nerdy. 1.00

00:52:21.600 I'm just saying.

00:52:24.900 That's funny.

00:52:25.220 It is the Caribbean nations, island nations in the Western Hemisphere.

00:52:31.520 That is where the Caribbean is. 0.53

00:52:33.060 We are also in the Western Hemisphere.

00:52:34.780 They are our neighbors.

00:52:36.040 What?

00:52:36.620 So Ukraine is a country in Europe.

00:52:41.360 It exists next to another country called Russia.

00:52:45.040 Russia is a bigger country.

00:52:46.820 Russia is a powerful country.

00:52:48.140 Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine.

00:52:52.200 So basically that's wrong.

00:52:54.480 But inspired by also our collective ability to see what can be unburdened by what has been.

00:53:03.420 Okay.

00:53:05.980 There's a lot here.

00:53:08.000 Only in an era where everything gets politicized would a campaign come out aggressively against laughter.

00:53:15.100 We've been here before.

00:53:16.260 The last time a woman led a presidential ticket, Hillary Clinton's laugh was criticized and also called weird. 1.00

00:53:21.540 There was a suggestion that it made her seem inauthentic.

00:53:25.080 Made her seem inauthentic?

00:53:28.960 She is inauthentic.

00:53:30.660 Which is a bizarre point since genuine laughter is, if not involuntary, then very hard to fake.

00:53:38.540 Lenny Bruce once dared a crowd to try it four times in an hour.

00:53:42.660 Calling women overly emotional or hysterical is a sexist trope.

00:53:46.840 Have you heard anybody call her overly emotional or hysterical because of her laughs?

00:53:52.520 I have not heard that, no.

00:53:55.420 Insane.

00:53:56.200 I've heard a little of that, but that's about it.

00:53:59.040 A long history of positioning laughter in opposition to reason.

00:54:03.700 Plato warned against the love of laughter, suggesting it indicates a loss of control.

00:54:08.640 Ever alert to the theater of power, Trump rarely laughs.

00:54:12.580 Watching interviews with both candidates, it's clear there's a sizable disparity in laughter.

00:54:17.460 Trump scoffs and occasionally smirks, which can be a crowd pleaser.

00:54:22.700 But chuckling just isn't his thing.

00:54:25.340 On talk shows, Harris does it to deflect and connect.

00:54:28.740 To establish intimacy.

00:54:30.420 But also to underline the absurdity of something.

00:54:33.920 Like school buses.

00:54:35.740 At its most effusive, her laugh can draw attention to itself.

00:54:39.680 And taken out of context, it can seem as if she's the only one in on the joke.

00:54:44.520 Harris has said she got her guffaw from her mother.

00:54:47.580 But that's not only her laugh.

00:54:49.600 In her debut campaign speech, she even got a big response for muffling a snicker after saying that her past,

00:54:57.240 her mother would say, or no, in her past, that she had taken on perpetrators of all kinds.

00:55:03.860 This hint of a laugh set up her most successful stump line so far.

00:55:07.520 So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump's type.

00:55:10.880 The case of laughing is that it makes a leader come off less serious.

00:55:19.360 This rests on a common misunderstanding that Lafferter is primarily a response to something funny.

00:55:24.500 Research over the past few decades has backed up what philosophers have said for over a century,

00:55:29.660 which is that laughter is inherently social.

00:55:32.400 More about relationships and communications than jokes.

00:55:35.600 Try to recall the last time you laughed alone.

00:55:38.680 Well, it was about an hour ago when I read this story for the first time.

00:55:41.940 Shakespeare was fascinated by performance of leadership.

00:55:45.800 He goes into Henry IV and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:55:49.080 Now, properly utilized, laughter, a wildly flexible form of communication, can do more than any argument.

00:55:57.200 People cite Ronald Reagan saying, there you go again, to Jimmy Carter as a memorable moment after their second presidential debate in 1980.

00:56:04.880 But what they mention less often is that he introduces the line with a chuckle.

00:56:10.380 Harris does something similar in her now viral line, quoting her mother saying,

00:56:15.440 you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?

00:56:17.960 Imagine her trying to say that without following it up with a booming laugh. 1.00

00:56:23.560 The line becomes harsher.

00:56:25.400 In letting loose a gaffa, she displays affection mixed with a wry ribbing. 1.00

00:56:31.500 It goes on and on and on in the New York Times.

00:56:36.800 But most laughter in the real world is not callous, but connective.

00:56:40.700 Not exclusionary, but unifying.

00:56:43.340 Laughter can also communicate nervousness, but it can also calm it.

00:56:47.300 A traditional image of a leader might not be a mouth agape, but we do not live in the conventional time.

00:56:54.940 Donald Trump is evidence.

00:56:56.480 Whatever you think about Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan at the Republican Convention, their appearances are a testament to the importance of a good time in politics.

00:57:03.860 Democrats have often ceded this territory in recent years, and that can carry a cost as much as not appearing presidential.

00:57:11.160 So what does a laugh say about a person?

00:57:14.540 That she's human.

00:57:16.540 In a divided country, it's something we all do and enjoy.

00:57:20.120 And as anyone who has hung out with friends late into the night knows, it's contagious.

00:57:25.740 That's a powerful political tool.

00:57:28.500 As the poet Ella Wilcox wrote, laugh and the world laughs with you.

00:57:33.660 That is a Kamala Harris level column.

00:57:40.700 That column is equivalent to her vice presidency.

00:57:44.940 It is a just catastrophic bore.

00:57:51.180 Is there a person who would like that column?

00:57:56.600 I mean, I don't care if you're the biggest Kamala Harris supporter in the world.

00:58:00.680 Are you looking at that and being like, this is a really good piece of analysis on this.

00:58:05.040 I'm glad they broke down her laugh.

00:58:07.700 Is there anyone in the world who thinks this?

00:58:12.660 Think that this probably had to be assigned by an editor.

00:58:16.340 So somebody was looking at all the things that they were saying about her.

00:58:22.500 Yeah, okay, debunk that she was the border czar.

00:58:25.180 Make sure that you get on that she wasn't, you know, as crazy leftist as everybody thinks she was.

00:58:31.500 And they keep talking about her laugh.

00:58:33.300 Who can do something on her laugh? 1.00

00:58:35.800 I mean, this is just, the New York Times has become talking points.

00:58:40.880 They're defending her laugh.

00:58:43.760 It's pathetic.

00:58:44.740 Who's comfortable with that laugh?

00:58:45.820 I don't think she's even comfortable with that laugh.

00:58:48.300 It seems like it's so staged and inauthentic.

00:58:52.800 Yeah.

00:58:53.260 And I'll say, too, like, I don't know if we're now breaking down her laugh.

00:58:57.360 And I realize the somewhat irony of that at this point.

00:59:01.220 But, like, I think, like, it's not even her laugh.

00:59:05.060 It's how absurd the laugh is timing-wise.

00:59:10.520 Like, it occurs at times when you're not supposed to laugh.

00:59:14.220 Like, I don't think her laugh in and of itself is the problem.

00:59:19.320 The problem is she'll say something like, I love school buses.

00:59:24.320 It's like, wait a minute.

00:59:25.640 That's not how humans interact.

00:59:27.560 It feels alien.

00:59:30.460 She laughs at times when there's no jokes.

00:59:32.520 And she laughs hard.

00:59:35.020 Like, it's the funniest thing in the world.

00:59:36.840 And it seems more like something she's doing to cover up the awkwardness of what she said.

00:59:43.580 Or to delay so that she can try to figure out what she's supposed to say next.

00:59:49.140 Like, she uses it as a tactic to give herself time to think of something to say when in a difficult moment.

00:59:57.680 I mean, she does it a lot in those interviews.

00:59:59.580 Those calm interviews where someone says, like, well, you know, you, by the way, the border czar thing.

01:00:03.680 That doesn't seem to be working out.

01:00:04.620 And it's like a response to delay an awkward moment or to just, like, push her through something she's saying that doesn't make any sense.

01:00:19.760 It's not like the laugh itself is particularly offensive.

01:00:23.100 It's how she uses it.

01:00:24.460 This weekend, I was just tracking how the media is just erasing things from history.

01:00:35.280 Just erasing them.

01:00:37.440 And completely erasing their own fingerprints on all of it.

01:00:44.460 And this is one of the stories that came up was this laughter thing.

01:00:48.100 And I thought, you know, we just need to show people it's not about her laugh.

01:00:52.900 This is about, not her, this story is about the media.

01:00:57.940 The links that they will go to.

01:01:00.580 I mean, everyone is on deck carrying water for Kamala Harris right now.

01:01:08.180 We need to remind you what they're erasing because that's the important stuff in this election.

01:01:14.380 We'll do that in 60 seconds.

01:01:17.320 NMLS 1-82334.

01:01:29.640 Okay.

01:01:31.480 You know, I was thinking back the other day when, you know, when we had a good economy in this country.

01:01:37.720 A little surprised to realize that it really wasn't that many years ago.

01:01:41.500 It just kind of hits you sometime, you know?

01:01:43.280 Inflation wasn't out of control four years ago.

01:01:46.420 Market was up.

01:01:47.320 Businesses were booming.

01:01:48.520 People could buy houses.

01:01:49.580 We hadn't entered the age of the ice cream president yet.

01:01:54.480 I hope those days are coming back and soon.

01:01:57.260 But in the meantime, how's your financial householding up?

01:02:00.560 No matter what your answer is, let me make a suggestion.

01:02:04.080 Take some time today and give American Financing a call.

01:02:07.180 They're going to go over and look at your finances and see if there's some areas that could be improved.

01:02:11.020 For instance, your mortgage really can be made to work for you, and it can help you get out of the high interest debt fast.

01:02:18.660 That's the kind of thing that happens when people get in touch with American Financing.

01:02:22.800 Please, as always, don't take my word for it.

01:02:24.800 Do your own homework.

01:02:25.580 It's not right for everybody.

01:02:27.080 But it could save your house.

01:02:28.980 American Financing, 800-906-2440.

01:02:33.360 800-906-2440.

01:02:36.200 Or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

01:02:39.000 10 seconds.

01:02:39.600 Station ID.

01:02:40.080 So the Washington Examiner did a great story on Kamala Harris.

01:02:57.120 They say she often presents a narrative that she hails from Oakland as a typical African-American experience and is a mainstream Democrat.

01:03:06.780 That is all false.

01:03:08.160 First, she was born in Oakland because neighboring Berkeley, where her family lived, didn't have a major hospital.

01:03:15.120 According to her birth certificate, Kamala lived at 2531 Regent Street in Berkeley, not Oakland.

01:03:21.660 Later, before moving to Montreal, she lived at 1227 Bancroft Way in Berkeley.

01:03:27.640 Her mother, an immigrant from India, worked at a Berkeley lab.

01:03:32.400 Both her mother and her father, who immigrated from Jamaica and is of Afro-Jamaican and Irish heritage, received PhDs from the University of California, Berkeley, where they met.

01:03:44.360 This upbringing is very different from somebody such as Tim Scott, the Republican from South Carolina, a black man who grew up in South Carolina and whose mother was a nursing assistant.

01:03:55.680 Or J.D. Vance, who came from an impoverished Appalachia.

01:03:59.240 In her autobiography, Harris writes about often being brought to protest marches in a stroller and see a sea of legs moving about, the energy and the shouts of the chants.

01:04:11.920 She was raised in the far-left Berkeley culture of the 1960s and 70s.

01:04:18.120 She went to college.

01:04:20.900 She failed her California bar exam the first time.

01:04:24.160 That happens to a lot of people.

01:04:25.780 She eventually took a job at the San Francisco District Attorney's Office.

01:04:29.520 At the age of 29, after she began dating Speaker of the California Assembly, Willie Brown,

01:04:37.500 Willie appointed her to the high-paying state commissions and helped elect her as San Francisco's District Attorney.

01:04:44.800 This launched her into the path of the Senate. 0.99

01:04:47.120 Congressional ratings group tell her tale of her time in the Senate.

01:04:52.440 Based on her votes, Harris was rated the most liberal member of the Senate in 2019, further left than either Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren by the nonpartisan group GovTrack.

01:05:06.760 The liberal advocacy group, Americans for Democratic Action, which also compiles ratings based on major votes, gave her a perfect 100 score in 2017 and 2018.

01:05:19.440 100% perfect liberal.

01:05:21.740 The conservative club club for growth, which rates based on economic tax and regulatory issues, gave her a lifetime rating of 9%.

01:05:32.280 Progressive punch list, Harris as one of their five most progressive senators with a rating of 96.76 out of 100.

01:05:40.820 Ahead of Sanders, 94%.

01:05:43.820 The conservative action group gave Harris a rating of zero in the 116th Congress and a 4% lifetime score.

01:05:56.920 So she is very, very left.

01:05:59.960 But let's hear it from her own mouth before it's all erased.

01:06:04.140 Glenn Beck.

01:06:05.400 If your dog had opposable thumbs, what would he do with them?

01:06:11.680 Probably steal your credit card in your car and then you drive off, find some place you could buy a burger.

01:06:16.220 I'm just saying.

01:06:17.460 Why?

01:06:18.340 Because you buy him that boring, disgusting kibble, you know?

01:06:21.920 So it's kind of our fault because, you know, our dog wouldn't have gone off with the car and bought burgers if we wouldn't have been feeding him kibble, at least kibble that didn't have anything on top of it.

01:06:33.580 I mean, what is ice cream without chocolate sauce?

01:06:36.640 And that's what Rough Greens is, except it's healthy for your dog.

01:06:40.980 Before science inevitably creates dog thumbs, you might want to invest in some Rough Greens. 0.99

01:06:46.280 Not a dog food, it's a supplement developed by a naturopathic doctor that you sprinkle, Dr. Dennis Black, that you sprinkle on top of the dog's food.

01:06:53.960 Remember, brown food is dead food.

01:06:56.200 You want the greens.

01:06:57.400 You name it, if it's healthy for your dog, it's most likely in Rough Greens.

01:07:00.580 And they want to give you a first trial bag for free just to see if your dog likes it.

01:07:05.020 R-U-F-F-Greens.com slash Beck.

01:07:07.980 Rough Greens.com slash Beck.

01:07:09.620 Or call 833-GLEN-33.

01:07:11.660 They'll give you your first trial bag for free.

01:07:13.680 833-GLEN-33.

01:07:15.040 Rough Greens.com slash Beck.

01:07:17.820 Glenn's new book, Chasing Embers, is out now.

01:07:20.880 You can get it at glennbeck.com or wherever you get your books.

01:07:24.060 I want to show you, in her own words, why I think Kamala Harris is an absolute extremist and extraordinarily dangerous. 1.00

01:07:49.180 And people are not going to be talking about these things on the left, and media won't show it to you.

01:07:54.700 So I ask you to grab today's podcast and earmark it.

01:07:58.580 So if you ever need to share this with your friends, you know where it is.

01:08:02.480 Here is a flashback from Kamala Harris, where she is speaking at the Islamic Center of Southern California.

01:08:11.300 Listen to this.

01:08:12.260 And you must have the courage to object when they use that term, radical Islamic terrorism,

01:08:21.340 which ignores how Muslims have overvaluated, been the greatest victims of terror.

01:08:30.080 And we must also have the courage to reject that term, illegal alien.

01:08:37.040 Okay, so she's telling this group of Muslims in this mosque that they have to stand up and end the use of the words radical Islamic terrorism.

01:08:53.280 Well, okay, so then what kind of terrorism is it then?

01:09:00.420 If we don't have radical Islamic terrorism, if it's just terrorism, how do you fight that? 0.98

01:09:07.140 Because is that the same terrorism that you've classified as moms speaking out at school board meetings? 0.68

01:09:14.360 Because you've said that's terrorism.

01:09:16.660 Do we fight that terrorism the same way we fight what you don't want to address as radical Islamic terrorism? 0.74

01:09:24.400 She also says, you know, there's no such thing as an illegal alien.

01:09:30.420 Okay, well, then how do we describe them?

01:09:33.920 Then who are they?

01:09:35.500 Are they just soon-to-be citizens?

01:09:39.120 Are they refugees?

01:09:42.960 Are they just poor, tired refugees that are living off the American taxpayer by staying in four- and five-star hotels 1.00

01:09:50.320 and being fed free food until they get back on their feet?

01:09:54.480 Which, by the way, if that's what America decided to do, all right, that's what you decided to do.

01:09:59.520 But that's not, that's not.

01:10:02.560 Most Americans are not for that.

01:10:05.060 But the state just has decided they're going to do it.

01:10:07.740 So we all just go along, I guess.

01:10:11.180 But is that how we just identify them now?

01:10:17.140 How do we know?

01:10:17.840 Words have real meaning and real power.

01:10:21.420 They're important.

01:10:22.300 It's why we don't say, police are looking for a man.

01:10:28.500 What?

01:10:30.060 Well, what did he do?

01:10:31.600 Police are looking for a man who shot President Trump.

01:10:37.540 Okay.

01:10:38.560 All right, that doesn't help me much.

01:10:40.540 Can you tell me about the man?

01:10:42.120 No, I can't.

01:10:43.520 Why not?

01:10:44.940 Ah, that'd be politically incorrect.

01:10:46.460 Well, then what are we looking for?

01:10:49.380 We're looking for a white man in his 20s.

01:10:53.340 He's about 5'8".

01:10:55.140 He's skinny.

01:10:56.820 And he was last seen here.

01:10:59.840 Words have power and are important.

01:11:03.880 You cannot continue to cancel words.

01:11:07.940 Now, here she is again in another speech. 0.86

01:11:12.000 Undocumented workers, not criminals.

01:11:14.960 Here you go.

01:11:16.080 An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal, and we have to correct course in this conversation.

01:11:24.500 Because Barack knows we have to change our conversations.

01:11:27.220 Una persona sin papeles no es criminal. 1.00

01:11:30.900 Si se puede.

01:11:34.300 Yes, we can.

01:11:35.540 And a really uncomfortable laugh.

01:11:38.000 Now, another flashback.

01:11:40.320 How does she feel about ICE?

01:11:42.080 Here's what she said in a 2018 interview with MSNBC.

01:11:47.700 A lot of the signs at the rally you just held were people standing there saying, abolish ICE.

01:11:52.620 Yeah.

01:11:52.820 Is that a position that you agree with?

01:11:55.960 Listen, I think there's no question that we've got to critically reexamine ICE and its role and the way that it is being administered and the work it is doing.

01:12:03.860 And we need to probably think about starting from scratch because there will reimagine ICE. 0.98

01:12:12.760 We'll get back to the reimagining of the police here in a second.

01:12:15.820 She also wants to ban fracking.

01:12:19.440 Now, this is something that they're going to deny that she ever said or was ever for, or she changed her mind.

01:12:25.280 But I would like to know how you could be this committed on fracking and then what changed your mind?

01:12:32.480 Because this is a big one that goes with the Green New Deal, which she was the first sponsor on.

01:12:37.920 She led the way for the Green New Deal. 1.00

01:12:40.080 So, where does she stand on fracking, cut four? 1.00

01:12:44.200 There's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking.

01:12:46.640 So, yeah.

01:12:48.140 And starting with what we can do on day one around public lands, right?

01:12:54.100 And then there has to be legislation.

01:12:56.140 But yes, and this is something I've taken on in California.

01:12:58.460 I have a history of working on this issue.

01:12:59.900 And to your point, we have to just acknowledge that the residual impact of fracking is enormous in terms of the impact on the health and safety of communities.

01:13:10.900 Okay.

01:13:12.180 Now, she's also been one that pushes the book ban in Florida and saying that Ron DeSantis was don't say gay, which was a lie.

01:13:21.140 Here she is in that.

01:13:22.660 When I look at the fact that in our country, we're looking at somewhere around 600 bills being proposed or passed, anti-LGBTQ, a book ban, a policy approach that is don't say gay.

01:13:36.920 People in fear for their life.

01:13:41.160 People in fear for their life.

01:13:43.940 People in fear for their life.

01:13:45.900 These are fundamental issues.

01:13:47.380 If you're going to get your news from the left and you're hearing her say that and you don't hear the correction, I can understand why you might be afraid.

01:13:57.020 But when somebody is using lies to create fear in you, that's a problem, especially when they are known to be lies.

01:14:08.660 Here's another one.

01:14:09.940 She supports cutting police budgets.

01:14:12.960 If you're for overhauling, where do you stand on defund the police?

01:14:18.920 Right.

01:14:19.920 So here's the thing.

01:14:21.800 Defund the police.

01:14:22.960 The issue behind it is that we need to reimagine how we are creating safety.

01:14:31.100 And when you have many cities that have one third of their entire city budget focused on policing, we know that is not the smart way and the best way or the right way to achieve safety.

01:14:42.900 For too long, the status quo thinking has been you get more safety by putting more cops on the street.

01:14:50.640 Well, that's wrong because, by the way, she has she has proven that what she just said was wrong.

01:14:59.800 And that also goes right into when have you heard that reimagining the police that came from her. 1.00

01:15:06.760 She was one of the big proponents of reimagining the police.

01:15:11.840 Do you like the effects of reimagining the police?

01:15:15.400 She also went on to say we're a skip this one, but cut the police budget.

01:15:19.100 She was supportive of that.

01:15:20.740 Remember, the media later would tell you that it was the Republicans that were for the police cuts.

01:15:29.060 And then she went on to say that it's outdated to believe that more police equals safety.

01:15:35.000 Now, when you are when you are causing people to have fear and you're saying, look, I've got the plan, people start to depend on you instead of their own thinking and their own mind and everything else.

01:15:53.500 And they begin to look at Uncle Sam as a good uncle.

01:15:57.500 Now, that uncle should be in prison.

01:16:00.200 That uncle was abusive to you.

01:16:02.480 OK, but listen to how she's treated here on the Drew Barrymore program with Drew Barrymore.

01:16:10.780 Listen to this.

01:16:12.000 I keep thinking in my head that we all need a mom.

01:16:18.020 I've been thinking that we really all need a tremendous hug in the world right now.

01:16:22.860 But in our country, we need you to be momala of the country. 1.00

01:16:27.540 Isn't that great?

01:16:32.140 I don't want another mother. 1.00

01:16:34.540 I had another mother.

01:16:36.240 I don't need another mother. 0.98

01:16:38.420 That's not what the presidency does.

01:16:41.560 That's not what the vice presidency does. 1.00

01:16:43.880 They are not your parent.

01:16:46.260 And if they are a good parent, they treat you like a 19-year-old.

01:16:51.300 You're out of the house, no longer in my care.

01:16:55.120 Stand on your two feet.

01:16:56.800 But that's not what the left wants.

01:17:04.200 There is so much to go over with her.

01:17:06.920 It's almost overwhelming.

01:17:08.480 And we will continue this, but we want you to make and save bookmarks so you know where you can get this information.

01:17:18.300 Because a lot of this information is going to be lost.

01:17:21.380 We'll post this information at glennbeck.com.

01:17:25.700 And we'll post all of the stories, the true stories that are now being deleted.

01:17:30.100 And know that they are going to discredit our voices more and more.

01:17:40.140 They have to.

01:17:40.920 They're all in lockstep again.

01:17:43.000 They weren't just a couple of weeks ago.

01:17:45.380 They all, well, I guess they were.

01:17:47.020 They all were in lockstep of telling the truth about Joe Biden.

01:17:49.880 And now they're right back to their lies.

01:17:51.400 So we will make sure that you have access to the truth so you can show your friends.

01:17:58.260 And not access to stories just, you know, from us or whatever.

01:18:02.840 But from the New York Times and the Washington Post.

01:18:06.020 Because they all said these things.

01:18:08.300 Whatever hasn't been erased, we will find and make sure that you have access to it.

01:18:12.960 Because she's a very, she will be the most liberal person to ever be president of the United States or even a candidate. 0.76

01:18:28.200 She is a socialist.

01:18:31.260 She is at least stated much further than Barack Obama.

01:18:39.380 Much further.

01:18:40.640 At least stated.

01:18:41.960 She's coming in as this radical.

01:18:46.200 And the press will obscure that and make anybody who says any different into conspiracy theorists.

01:18:54.320 But we're not.

01:18:56.160 Know that you've been lied to over and over and over again from these same people.

01:19:01.480 And share the truth.

01:19:03.800 Back in just a minute.

01:19:07.920 Sponsor this half hour is MyPillow.

01:19:10.280 There are nights when I could wake up in a cold sweat, terrified, shaking with fear because of one horrible thought.

01:19:17.080 What if you forget everything I've told you about MyPillow?

01:19:19.920 I mean, are you going to be safe?

01:19:21.660 Honestly.

01:19:22.660 What if you don't get that one because you forgot?

01:19:24.940 The only reason I don't wake up is because I'm using a MyPillow.

01:19:29.860 And I'm sleeping through the night.

01:20:58.500 You know, our movement cannot be just about winning the next election.

01:21:05.100 And it needs to be intergenerational.

01:21:07.600 There are kids growing up, if they don't know the truth, it is going to be the same mess over and over and over again.

01:21:13.500 That's why we have to care about the culture our kids are growing up in.

01:21:17.320 That's why, with all the crazy news, we are publishing Chasing Embers.

01:21:22.880 It's a young adult fiction book, dystopian.

01:21:26.620 We're hearing a lot from adults who are really enjoying it as well.

01:21:30.340 It's kind of a Hunger Games-esque sort of adventure story with teenagers taking on massive public-private partnerships that have completely erased America and all of our history.

01:21:41.380 It's like if Disney took over our country.

01:21:44.000 It's a nightmare.

01:21:46.060 And through the story, our characters are showing the way out.

01:21:50.280 And the way out is finding the truth.

01:21:53.600 It's a brand-new adventure, and we're trying to reach a new generation.

01:21:57.640 We need your help to keep the momentum going.

01:22:23.620 So, there is a story out now, Stu, you were just talking to me about, with Kamala Harris and, again, how the press uses language.

01:22:34.460 They say that language matters, and that's true, and they know how it matters.

01:22:40.520 Listen to this.

01:22:41.240 Yeah, this has been pointed out by Andy Kaczynski over at CNN, actually, but it's amazing.

01:22:46.380 It's Politico's framing of it, and they say,

01:22:48.540 Harris' campaign pledges that she won't ban fracking after Trump accusation.

01:22:54.340 Trump's allegations come as Kamala Harris is expected to moderate her positions on energy issues. 0.83

01:23:00.380 As he points out, it's true.

01:23:02.540 This isn't an accusation.

01:23:03.840 It's not an allegation.

01:23:05.340 She just said it publicly over and over and over again.

01:23:08.760 We just played the clips for you just moments ago.

01:23:11.460 Kamala Harris has been specifically dedicated to banning fracking for years and years and years and years,

01:23:17.240 and the news here is not that Trump is accusing her of the things she said she wanted to do.

01:23:23.960 The news is that she's now changing her position in the middle of a presidential campaign for some reason. 0.99

01:23:30.320 I don't know if climate scientists have come out and have proved fracking.

01:23:34.280 I don't know what has occurred to change her mind, but gosh darn it, it seems like maybe she's just trying to win this election by fooling people.

01:23:41.100 Well, see, this is why the media is writing this the way they did.

01:23:47.620 They're making it accusation because then you immediately think Donald Trump is the bad guy, and you just don't think beyond that.

01:23:55.400 Oh, there's Donald Trump making some crazy accusation again.

01:23:59.180 The headline should be that Kamala Harris changes her position. 1.00

01:24:04.640 But if that's the headline, if that's the way the story goes, then that would mean someone should ask her why she's changed her position. 1.00

01:24:14.600 This way, you don't have to have her defend it because she's under assault and accused of things.

01:24:23.220 So you're not looking to her to defend.

01:24:25.700 You're looking to Donald Trump.

01:24:27.100 Defend yourself, man.

01:24:28.300 This is how you need to start reading the news because and I hope that there are some people that are waking up that are in the audience that will understand that this is the way to read the news and you need to start spreading the word.

01:24:58.300 Oh, oh, oh, oh.

01:25:28.300 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:25:40.220 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:46.340 Hello, America.

01:25:47.680 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:49.140 We need to talk to you about the Supreme Court and what our fearless leader is planning on doing today.

01:25:54.420 Joe Biden is coming out with a declaration of trying to change the Supreme Court.

01:25:59.680 We'll explain why here in just a second and what it all means.

01:26:03.260 But I also want to spend some time on the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

01:26:09.500 I think I'm a pretty reasonable guy that will give artists the benefit of the doubt.

01:26:15.260 But I don't think there's any doubt on this one.

01:26:18.760 I didn't see the Olympics.

01:26:21.420 I just saw the the many photos of, I don't know, testicles and everything else.

01:26:28.060 And I thought to myself, there's got to be some other explanation.

01:26:34.840 Then I heard the the Olympic Committee come out and give their explanation.

01:26:39.920 And I decided I'm going to watch this in context.

01:26:43.640 So let me give you in context what all of this means and why everyone should be concerned about it.

01:26:54.340 We'll do that in 60 seconds.

01:26:56.120 First, you ever get that feeling that America picked the wrong decade to stop sniffing glue?

01:27:01.460 I don't know about you, but I think it's crazy to consider the presidential debate between, you know, Joe Biden and Donald Trump was literally only a month ago.

01:27:12.580 Look what's happened in that short space of time.

01:27:15.760 I don't think we're going to recognize our country by the end of the year.

01:27:19.820 Terrible changes can come and come fast.

01:27:22.560 You need to think, why is it important for you and your family to have made all of the preparations that you can?

01:27:29.500 And so when the dam bursts, you're prepared.

01:27:33.380 Is that important to you?

01:27:34.380 If you start with your finances, one of the most important things you can do is build a hedge against further inflation.

01:27:39.980 And may I recommend investing some of your portfolio into gold or other precious metals like silver?

01:28:16.040 Okay, Stu, what have you seen?

01:28:18.880 Because you didn't watch it.

01:28:20.160 What have you seen?

01:28:21.120 A bunch of stuff I wish I hadn't seen.

01:28:27.380 Yeah, okay.

01:28:28.020 You know, dudes with beards doing a lot of dancing, a recreation of The Last Supper with genitals flopping out of undershorts.

01:28:37.800 You know, it was all stuff that I, I mean, I guess there were some sporting events as well tied to this in some way.

01:28:48.580 I haven't seen anything about those sporting events.

01:28:50.760 It was disgusting.

01:28:52.080 Okay.

01:28:53.260 Okay.

01:28:53.620 So, here's what's being said.

01:28:55.960 What's being said is there was a golden calf on the main stage and no explanation of it.

01:29:02.540 There was a recreation of The Last Supper, and people have been saying that wasn't a representation of The Last Supper, but even the director, the guy who was the artistic director for the whole thing, said,

01:29:20.020 I'm not the first one to use that image and to change it.

01:29:24.060 I mean, the Simpsons have done it.

01:29:25.660 Everybody has done it.

01:29:26.600 Well, okay, so now we know that that was The Last Supper.

01:29:32.260 Then there was this picture of this woman with her head chopped off, and it was a very, you know, fire and brimstone kind of thing, but that was about the French Revolution.

01:29:44.300 Then there was a really interesting party that went on that seemed, I don't know, kind of pagan, but that was the point, they say.

01:30:00.440 And then there was a pale rider, a rider that was dressed and carrying the Olympic flag, and he was on a pale horse, and he was dressed in pale armor, and he was riding the horse on the Seine.

01:30:17.200 Now, let me tell you that, let me first give a review of the opening.

01:30:29.180 Celine Dion ended everything, and it was one of the most powerful moments I've ever seen.

01:30:37.240 She sang, I don't know, some Frenchie French song about, you know, if you only love me right now, that'll be fine, whatever.

01:30:45.580 But it was powerful, and it was powerful because she conquered all odds.

01:30:53.140 She was diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, where your body just stiffens up and you can't move it, and she was incredible.

01:31:04.000 And they had her on the second level of the Eiffel Tower.

01:31:07.740 They used the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop for much of this.

01:31:13.100 And I've never seen the Olympics ever.

01:31:16.660 I've never seen anybody do anything like what they did in Paris and making the entire city a stage.

01:31:26.660 It was beautiful, powerful, cost them $150 million.

01:31:33.180 So if it wasn't beautiful and crazy, outrageous in a good way, you would wonder what they did with $150 million.

01:31:42.880 But I kept saying all the way through it, I cannot imagine what this cost to put on.

01:31:48.480 I'm surprised it was only $150 million.

01:31:51.400 Now, let's take the imagery, and let's take it two ways.

01:32:04.440 Let's take it as what the Olympic Committee said it was, that that rider in the horse is the, I don't know, the god of the Seine River,

01:32:20.940 that this was all about the history of France, which it was, and it had nothing to do with mocking Christianity.

01:32:29.960 Well, I would say that you could read it that way, absolutely.

01:32:37.440 Like the horse, you could read it as the pale rider, or you could read it as, you know, the spirit of the Seine.

01:32:44.660 Fine.

01:32:45.260 And I'm not going to argue about that.

01:32:46.780 You could read it either way.

01:32:48.600 But there are some things here that you cannot read any other way.

01:32:53.000 One, the golden calf on the main stage facing the Eiffel Tower.

01:33:00.720 There was a golden bust of the bull, and then there was the golden calf beneath that.

01:33:06.980 It was never mentioned.

01:33:11.220 Why?

01:33:11.900 If you watched the segment with the Lord's Supper, it only was on the frame for, on the TV for about two or three seconds.

01:33:29.680 Now, I want to show you that it's not just Christians in America and conservatives that are all upset.

01:33:35.280 Could you please play the video that we got from, I don't remember what, one of the social services, where they're in France, and they're watching it.

01:33:46.460 And these are French people watching that scene.

01:33:50.020 Watch.

01:33:54.000 Hands on their faces.

01:34:00.180 Now head in the hands.

01:34:05.280 So, even they were a little shocked by it.

01:34:21.800 Maybe they thought it was funny, but their expressions show that they were also kind of embarrassed that that would be happening.

01:34:28.440 The announcers never said anything about even that being a table other than the runway has been fashioned from a banquet table.

01:34:44.760 And then they passed over that scene.

01:34:46.740 Well, that scene was carefully constructed to look like the Last Supper.

01:34:52.360 There's no way you can deny that, the positions and everything else.

01:34:55.800 However, it's all drag queens. 1.00

01:34:58.320 So, all of the apostles are a drag queen, and Jesus is a fat lesbian. 0.99

01:35:05.620 And there was a child at the table.

01:35:08.240 And if you look at a screen grab, you can see the man behind her, his testicles are escaping and wandering about.

01:35:19.140 It was truly horrifying, if you look at it, as the Last Supper.

01:35:28.020 It is mocking God.

01:35:30.760 And as I said last week, we are no longer chasing God out of the public square.

01:35:35.320 That's been done long ago.

01:35:36.840 We are now taking him bound and gagged to our public square, tying him to a pole, and mocking him every day.

01:35:45.700 That doesn't end well for any civilization.

01:35:50.900 I don't believe that everybody had seen this.

01:35:55.220 The director kept a lot of it secret.

01:35:58.120 So, nobody knew what everything meant or why it was done.

01:36:01.700 But that was clearly done, as were the golden calf, to say that this is a pagan ritual.

01:36:09.320 Now, the guy, the little blue guy, is the god of wine.

01:36:19.420 He is also the god of the theater, eventually.

01:36:25.400 I think it's Dionysus.

01:36:27.320 Dionysus is the Greek god of wine, which goes into France, but also of this, of ecstasy.

01:36:41.900 And they used to have rituals, this cult gathered around him.

01:36:47.240 And it was a festival, which is said that this is what this festival was supposed to represent, which was really decadent and evil.

01:37:00.300 I mean, let's just be honest about it.

01:37:02.100 It was just evil, the way it happened.

01:37:04.500 In fact, it was so evil that in 186 BCE, the Italians banned this god and that festival.

01:37:13.740 It was not good.

01:37:15.120 So, you can't just say that this is something that is, you know, oh, well, this is just the god of wine.

01:37:22.860 He's also the god of ecstasy and ecstasy without any shame.

01:37:31.400 He is also the god that you would see on old theater marquees with the grapes over his head.

01:37:38.380 He's also the god of the pagan theater.

01:37:40.840 So, he comes out to be served, and they have an orgy.

01:37:47.900 While there is a fashion show that was going on with men in dresses, and it was just all gender bender. 0.99

01:37:56.960 It was basically that whole scene and much of the night was we reject all the norms of God.

01:38:06.180 We object and will mock everything that people say is good, and we will mock those who are offended by this.

01:38:22.260 I believe this was some sort of – I'd have to talk to Rabbi Daniel Lappin to find out.

01:38:29.600 But I'd like to hear his opinion on this because I think that this was a pagan ritual that we just don't understand because we're too far away from it.

01:38:39.400 But this is a gauntlet thrown down in France.

01:38:44.460 Now, why would you do this?

01:38:46.540 People would say, and I've heard them say, why would they do this to all the Christians of the world?

01:38:53.080 There's almost, you know, two billion Christians in the world.

01:38:56.200 Yeah, but if your country was being taken over by Islamicists, and they were already on the streets saying how decadent and perverse of a society you are, 1.00

01:39:07.640 why would you put that on full display?

01:39:14.680 This was a gauntlet that was thrown down, and I don't think it's going to end well.

01:39:27.140 So congratulations, Celine Dion, for taking that $8 million to stand up and sing.

01:39:34.680 You were amazing.

01:39:35.900 But the rest of it was highly, highly disturbing.

01:39:40.700 Back in just a second.

01:39:44.040 Across this vast nation of ours, millions of Americans are living their everyday lives with frequent and sometimes debilitating pain.

01:39:52.100 Some of it just comes with getting older.

01:39:53.660 Some of it comes from injuries or even illnesses.

01:39:55.960 But most of it comes from inflammation in our bodies.

01:39:58.980 All of it is bad.

01:40:00.480 And when I was living with terrible pain in my hands, I tried everything I could think of to get rid of it.

01:40:05.340 And nothing worked or worked for very long.

01:40:08.340 And the things that did work, I didn't want to take all the time.

01:40:11.540 I mean, I have a really, really painful back.

01:40:14.220 I don't need any more problems.

01:40:15.920 Thank you.

01:40:16.600 The pain in my hands, I got the ability to move my hands again.

01:40:22.980 And that was a big deal for me.

01:40:25.220 It's why I can paint.

01:40:26.740 In fact, I had my first painting lesson I've had in a long time today, hopefully.

01:40:54.180 10 seconds, station ID.

01:40:55.140 I'm trying not to be a, you know, somebody who's, you know, wringing their hands all the time about, you know, what people are doing and what does that mean.

01:41:18.000 And I can read through that, but I just don't see any other way you can read what happened at the Olympics.

01:41:23.420 And never before, this is not normal for anybody who is, you know, 30, 40 years old.

01:41:31.500 This is not normal.

01:41:33.520 This was never done in our society.

01:41:36.340 You never would have done that.

01:41:39.840 That was, honestly, that was a gay pride parade on global television without any warning to anyone.

01:41:50.960 It was phenomenal.

01:41:54.880 And I just don't know why France would do that.

01:41:59.320 Why no one looked at that in advance.

01:42:04.200 But you don't think they did?

01:42:06.580 Seems to me to be intentional.

01:42:08.100 No, they said beforehand that there was no, this was the first Olympics where there wasn't any real run-through.

01:42:17.920 And they didn't tell the announcers exactly what was going on.

01:42:22.680 Like, and you could hear it.

01:42:24.060 When the announcers went to the runway thing where the, you know, the 12 apostles were all men, they didn't know what to say.

01:42:32.260 The first thing I think one of them said was, oh gosh, okay.

01:42:36.800 And then the other one came in and said, this represents a runway and it's on this street bridge.

01:42:42.540 And they, you could tell they were reading from the script of what they were supposed to say.

01:42:47.200 Not anything in the script described what was going on.

01:42:52.380 That just unfolded in front of everybody's mind, everybody's eyes.

01:42:57.240 Unfortunately, with their shorts, literally, it just unfolded.

01:43:00.260 Yeah.

01:43:00.700 And that was, that was unfortunate for all of us.

01:43:05.700 I'm not surprised.

01:43:06.980 You know, it's, we've come a very far distance in a very short time.

01:43:12.520 Someone posted a side-by-side of this and that, I think it was the 2014 Olympics where it's like beautiful ballet and, and very traditional art, arts and entertainment, I would suppose.

01:43:26.540 And again, ballet is not my thing, but I will say like side-by-side, it's, it's fascinating how quickly this has come.

01:43:33.260 I mean, that is the period where, back in 2014, you're talking about a period where, I mean, it's just after Barack Obama comes out for gay marriage, right?

01:43:43.380 Like that, how antiquated does this seem right now?

01:43:46.540 And we, I mean, the distance that we've come and the idea that for a massive audience, including like people who have, you know, Islamic countries and like, you know, African countries with traditional religious beliefs,

01:44:01.700 outside of just trying to offend, you know, normie American Christians, like it is so offensive.

01:44:08.580 And the thing, the fact that they didn't, either they did see this coming or they didn't see it coming, either way, it is an absolute disgrace.

01:44:16.000 They did.

01:44:16.580 Yeah.

01:44:17.100 Yeah.

01:44:17.520 It's a, it's a disgrace because you're speaking for a whole country, you know, and, you know, they, they, of course, put in John Lennon's imaginal world where there is no God, no heaven, no hell, no war.

01:44:28.300 Uh, and then they, you know, gave the one new world order, uh, you know, sign of, we come together for peace.

01:44:38.920 Uh, so there would be no more war if we would just all get rid of all of our borders. 0.99

01:44:45.060 Uh, it was, it was extraordinary.

01:44:48.140 I was, what it was, cause it was not a history lesson.

01:44:50.760 Parts of it were not a history lesson.

01:44:52.940 Let me ask.

01:44:53.800 It was a globalist agenda.

01:44:55.640 It really, it really was.

01:44:56.940 Uh, what was the, uh, what's the reaction for, uh, uh, from queers for Hamas to all of this? 0.83

01:45:03.260 Because it seems like the Islamic, uh, community, uh, in the Middle East, not, not thrilled with this particular programming choice. 0.99

01:45:11.500 Uh, yet we have the queers for Hamas who've been so supportive of, uh, Hamas and their beliefs. 0.99

01:45:17.760 How does all this work out?

01:45:19.160 Exactly how you think it would work out.

01:45:23.220 I mean, I, you know, I watched this and I thought they are being overrun.

01:45:27.020 They have Islamic riots in the street all the time.

01:45:32.200 They have bombings all the time.

01:45:35.660 What do you think this is going to do?

01:45:38.520 I mean, forget about the Christianity stuff. 0.96

01:45:41.960 Just look at the, the, the line they were pushing of, of cross-dressing and homosexuality and pedophilia and all of this stuff. 0.91

01:45:52.780 What do you think religious people are going to do?

01:45:56.160 Even if they don't believe in Jesus, Christians will most likely just go, well, there they go again. 1.00

01:46:03.100 Um, Muslims don't do that. 1.00

01:46:06.580 Hey, Muslim extremists, those people who believe in Muslim, uh, Quranic rule, they don't just say, oh, there they do it again.

01:46:18.660 Glenn Beck.

01:46:21.660 They express things differently.

01:46:24.980 Uh, it's easy to get discouraged when pro-Hamas protesters are defacing national property right outside the Capitol building during a visit from Benjamin Netanyahu.

01:46:33.100 I don't know if you saw that, uh, now apparently armed by Iran, uh, they're saying that they have an EMP that they are going to hit Israel with.

01:46:44.760 Oh, that, oh, that's good.

01:46:46.660 That's good.

01:46:47.440 God help us if that happens.

01:46:49.300 For 40 years, the, uh, international fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on the ground with Israel and within hours of the war starting and every day since they've been helping people on the ground.

01:47:00.280 Like Keith, the head of security, uh, from a region in, uh, Israel's Southern border with Gaza, he protects the people in his region.

01:47:07.020 But on that fateful October 7th, an armored security truck donated to Keith and his community by the friends of the fellowship stopped bullets from terrorists who fired at Keith as he drove into danger.

01:47:19.660 Christians like you support Israel support through the international fellowship of Christians and Jews go to IFCJ support IFCJ.org support IFCJ.org and head over to blaze tv.com slash Glenn use the code Glenn 30 trial and save.

01:47:40.560 The Supreme Court is a morass.

01:47:55.640 First, it's an ethical morass.

01:47:57.220 It's the idea that wealthy individuals, many of them right wing, can both have paid for cases before the court and at the same time give justices gifts or trips is outrageous.

01:48:10.060 And frankly, Chief Justice Roberts isn't doing enough to curb it.

01:48:13.300 But it's a morass in even a worse way.

01:48:15.160 This is a MAGA right wing court.

01:48:17.460 It's already taken the right away, the right to choose.

01:48:20.360 It could very well go further on that.

01:48:22.260 I fear it will it's siding with the wealthiest of individuals and the powerful interests over the average working family.

01:48:31.860 And it even threatens democracy when it says that a president can get immunity, even for certain acts in the presidency.

01:48:41.860 I've never heard such ridiculous logic in my life.

01:48:54.040 They are counting on you, the American people, to not know what's going on with the Supreme Court.

01:49:00.700 So let's set a few things straight.

01:49:02.920 The Supreme Court, for the first time in my lifetime, I believe, is on a path to reduce the federal government's power.

01:49:16.600 That hasn't been done ever since FDR.

01:49:19.760 It has been increasing government power.

01:49:23.320 And if you want to talk about corruption, go back and listen to last week's Beck story.

01:49:29.020 It came out, I think it was on Saturday, this one came out.

01:49:31.520 And it was all about the Supreme Court.

01:49:33.740 It was either this weekend or last weekend.

01:49:36.360 And it's all about the Supreme Court under the progressives, starting with Woodrow Wilson.

01:49:41.300 And what happened and how they were using the court and they were actually running interference for the president and for Congress.

01:49:53.640 And they were colluding with each other to get progressive things passed.

01:49:58.540 It's all historic fact.

01:50:01.540 Now, we've never known about it because they've hid it.

01:50:05.440 But now it has come out.

01:50:08.100 And the facts are all there.

01:50:10.340 There was deep corruption in the court.

01:50:12.960 I still think there is because of the leak that came clearly from one of the nine justices.

01:50:20.620 But what they have done, what this new court has done, is do nothing to hurt your rights, but hurt the rights of the federal government.

01:50:33.120 When he says, well, it's just nothing but helping these corporations.

01:50:37.340 No.

01:50:38.540 Because government is in bed with corporations right now.

01:50:42.020 Corporate America and the government of the United States are almost walking all in lockstep right now.

01:50:50.840 When they said that we are going to pull back Chevron deference, that wasn't saying that we love Chevron and oil.

01:50:59.180 What that was saying, that court case was about a law that an administrator made that had been on the books for a long time.

01:51:08.680 And that was, look, we have to be able to know if what you're bringing into your boat is legal or not.

01:51:16.400 And you're not breaking any of the laws.

01:51:18.800 Okay.

01:51:19.820 Well, you can check me all you want.

01:51:21.640 Then when Biden got in, what Biden did was he had his administrator up that and say, okay, we need to check this.

01:51:32.640 But you, the private fishermen, need to pay their salary.

01:51:37.420 They're like, no.

01:51:39.220 If you want to check me, you can check me.

01:51:41.620 But I'm not paying for that person.

01:51:43.880 I'm abiding by the law.

01:51:46.120 You can't do that.

01:51:47.540 You'll put me out of business.

01:51:48.820 And that was the intent.

01:51:51.080 To put small people out of business. 0.75

01:51:55.160 This is what's happening in America.

01:51:57.700 And if you're not paying attention, you need to be.

01:52:02.020 What's happening in America is the administrative state, which was never part of the Constitution.

01:52:09.960 The administrative state, the dream of Woodrow Wilson and then of FDR and then again of Johnson and Obama and now Biden.

01:52:22.940 This dream has been fulfilled to where faceless bureaucrats that don't answer to you, never are voted on, can do whatever they want to regulate your life.

01:52:35.640 That is what this Supreme Court is doing.

01:52:39.280 It's not making the presidential office more powerful.

01:52:42.980 It is making the office of the president less powerful.

01:52:47.540 If you really care about some dictator getting into office, you should be cheering on the Supreme Court because every move they've made is to lessen the power of the presidency.

01:53:01.480 That's a very good thing.

01:53:04.680 But they keep taking this and spinning it around because they know you're afraid of a dictator.

01:53:10.400 And so they're making it look like this court is doing something that will help a dictator.

01:53:19.740 The exact opposite is true.

01:53:23.600 Very rarely do I say the exact opposite is true, but it's becoming more and more the norm.

01:53:32.300 Usually there's a bit of truth and then it goes off the trail back here in the story.

01:53:38.240 No, no, there is no story part of this that is true.

01:53:43.780 None.

01:53:45.040 What they want to do is they want to pack the court.

01:53:48.360 So the president is coming out today and he's saying, I was a U.S. senator for 36 years, including a chairman and ranking member of the Judiciary Committee,

01:53:58.480 having overseen more Supreme Court nominations as a senator, vice president, and president than anyone else living today.

01:54:05.080 I should tell you something.

01:54:06.060 I have great respect for our institutions and separation of powers.

01:54:11.360 What is happening now is not normal.

01:54:14.680 Well, it's not normal if you look at it from the FDR and Wilson point of view.

01:54:19.700 You're right.

01:54:20.620 And it undermines the public's confidence in the court's decisions.

01:54:25.280 No, your distortions are doing that, including those impacting personal freedoms.

01:54:32.600 And we now stand in a breach.

01:54:35.920 No one said no to abortions at the federal level.

01:54:42.400 They say, and I'm afraid they're going to go even further.

01:54:46.260 They can't go further because of the latest Supreme Court ruling.

01:54:52.580 They're saying the federal government and the Supreme Court has no role in your life.

01:54:59.940 They cannot tell you that you can or cannot have an abortion.

01:55:04.340 If you want to have an abortion in your state, then vote for it and put it in. 1.00

01:55:09.640 Abortion, the numbers have gone up, not down.

01:55:13.280 They have gone up since Roe v. Wade was overturned.

01:55:18.640 And even Ginsburg had said for years that Roe v. Wade was faulty in its logic and its law and should be overturned.

01:55:30.200 Not because she was against abortion.

01:55:33.580 She was for abortion. 1.00

01:55:34.820 But it wasn't solid law because the government has no place there.

01:55:41.940 So what are they saying?

01:55:43.820 They're saying this government, this out-of-control Supreme Court, is taking away your right to have an abortion.

01:55:52.440 And so we need to change the Supreme Court. 0.73

01:55:55.020 Well, no, they're really wanting to take away your right to not have an abortion, to choose as a community.

01:56:06.000 No, we don't do this here, to choose as a doctor.

01:56:09.380 I won't do that.

01:56:12.840 You may not like what somebody else does in another community or another state.

01:56:19.340 We're not supposed to like it because there is true diversity, the diversity of thought.

01:56:30.500 There should be opposition in all things.

01:56:33.440 It's part of life.

01:56:36.500 So you may not like what's happening in another state.

01:56:39.720 I know that's why I've never lived in California, and I've always wanted to live in California.

01:56:44.420 They're just crazy in California.

01:56:46.620 I can't do it.

01:56:47.600 So I don't.

01:56:50.260 That's my choice.

01:56:56.800 Biden also wants to impose a term limit of 18 years on justices.

01:57:02.000 Once fully adopted, it would allow presidents to appoint new justices at a cadence of once every two years.

01:57:09.840 Now, who will that benefit?

01:57:12.000 And why should we change this now?

01:57:14.640 We're only talking about changing this because Congress rubber stamps everything.

01:57:22.100 They have no power anymore.

01:57:24.340 The Supreme Court is the only line of defense.

01:57:29.020 It's the only one putting any kind of restraints on the federal government.

01:57:34.360 They've long passed the constitutional restraints, and they have long passed the congressional and Senate restraints.

01:57:42.720 They don't care anymore.

01:57:44.860 So now, for a democracy to work, they need to have the Supreme Court rubber stamp whatever their puppets in the administration arm say. 0.99

01:57:59.860 That must be no.

01:58:04.320 Talk to Dershowitz, talk to anybody who's a constitutional scholar, talk to Turley, Mike Lee, anyone will tell you.

01:58:16.540 The last thing that happens before you go full banana republic is you change the makeup of the Supreme Court of your country. 0.93

01:58:26.940 The very last thing you do is you get control of that court.

01:58:31.860 Once you have control of the court, you have a dictatorship.

01:58:35.080 Be very, very careful and read.

01:58:43.040 Do not just read one side.

01:58:45.500 Don't take my word for it.

01:58:46.860 This is critical that you understand.

01:58:50.020 Read both sides.

01:58:52.300 Know what they're actually debating and talking about.

01:58:55.500 You will not get the truth from the mainstream press.

01:58:59.060 And I'm not saying I'm giving you the full truth.

01:59:01.180 I'm trying to, but I may have some things wrong as well.

01:59:04.040 You will only discover those things when you have actually read the full spectrum of stories.

01:59:12.760 You're the only one standing in the way of all of this.

01:59:16.840 And you will either welcome it with open arms.

01:59:19.860 You will be uninformed so you won't be able to stop anything.

01:59:24.680 You will just listen to people like me and then you won't be able to defend yourself when you're in a debate or trying to change people's minds on this.

01:59:34.040 Or you will be somebody that stops us from being a full banana republic. 0.73

01:59:40.100 The choice is yours and the time to make that choice is right now.

01:59:45.060 Somewhere out there very close to where you are right now, there is a real estate agent.

01:59:52.220 And it's not just some old garden variety of real estate agent.

01:59:56.200 This person, you know, is not moonlighting, you know, as a pizza delivery driver or whatever they, you know, call those pickup, you know, those people who pick up straight golf balls on the golf course.

02:00:07.420 This person is a true blue dedicated professional who is going to treat you and your home buying and home selling situation like it is the one, it is the biggest, excuse me, the biggest decision in the world.

02:00:21.940 Because it is.

02:00:22.940 It is.

02:00:23.980 I know this.

02:00:24.900 These people work for my company, realestateagentsitrust.com.

02:00:30.720 We vet the agents who work with us constantly.

02:00:34.040 Now, I'm not their employer.

02:00:35.960 I'm just a referral service.

02:00:37.840 However, we take this referral service seriously.

02:00:41.020 We monitor their progress.

02:00:43.060 We measure their level of satisfaction after every customer.

02:00:46.440 We've, we've dealt with buying and selling homes over the years.

02:00:50.020 And I can tell you from experience that just about the most important thing you face is making sure that you have the best real estate agent you can get realestateagentsitrust.com.

02:01:01.300 That's where you'll find that real estate agent, realestateagentsitrust.com.

02:01:07.740 The previous content identified as conservative.

02:01:12.580 Oh, my.

02:01:13.160 The Glenn Beck Program will be right back.

02:01:32.880 Well, because of the Israelis, Hezbollah had to, had to target that school and kill all those school children playing soccer. 0.94

02:01:43.160 It's their fault, really.

02:01:45.000 I mean, Hezbollah and Hamas are, you know, not for a ceasefire, but it's probably because of the Israelis, you know. 0.98

02:01:53.680 It's amazing what's going on.

02:01:55.240 It's getting worse.

02:01:55.920 It does seem that getting the input of Hamas and Hezbollah as to whether they are at all interested in a ceasefire in which they would be required to cease firing.

02:02:10.080 It'd be nice to know if they supported that.

02:02:11.640 But no one ever asked them.

02:02:13.200 No one ever seen, they just asked Israel to stop firing, you know, to give enough time for Hamas to start firing again or Hezbollah to start firing again.

02:02:23.220 I don't know.

02:02:23.980 I feel like their input on this would be interesting.

02:02:25.840 Yeah, it would be.

02:02:28.400 I don't know if you heard this, but Hezbollah came out over the weekend and said they're about to hit them with an EMP and they say that they can make all of Israel go dark.

02:02:38.360 If that is true, terror has taken on a whole new phase.

02:02:44.220 Yes, I mean, that would be a massive escalation, which I would not be surprised that they would engage in.

02:02:51.340 What do you think their response is going to be like for Israel in this particular situation with the soccer bombing?

02:02:57.880 I think they're just going to keep doing what they're doing.

02:03:03.360 I think they're just going to keep trying to kill Hamas. 0.95

02:03:06.140 Well, this is Hezbollah, though.

02:03:07.660 I mean, the question is, does it escalate?

02:03:09.580 And Hezbollah up in the north, they don't want to because that takes on a whole different war and aspect. 0.72

02:03:19.280 It widens it and makes it one more step closer to Iran. 0.94

02:03:25.760 Everybody knows that Hezbollah is from Iran, but it's not Iran.

02:03:32.580 And you'll set the whole Middle East on fire. 1.00

02:03:36.660 I think they're going to just keep doing what they're doing, try to get rid of Hamas, punish Hezbollah with raids over the border, possibly. 0.89

02:03:49.940 I don't know.

02:03:50.740 It's interesting because Iran fired all those missiles at them and they responded, you know, in a limited fashion.

02:03:59.940 And with this, you know, surgical strike unlike I've seen ever before.

02:04:03.560 Yeah. This is the same type of situation.

02:04:06.780 You could see the same. They're not going to do nothing.

02:04:08.600 I can tell you that.

02:04:09.760 And they're not going to, I would like to say they would do a proportional response.

02:04:13.500 But in this particular case, that would be killing a bunch of children playing a sport.

02:04:17.460 And that I know they will not engage in.

02:04:19.380 So they will do something, I think, to the level, you know, a level above what they were doing previously.

02:04:26.000 But I think you're right.

02:04:27.300 They don't want to escalate this into a dual front, all out war.

02:04:32.260 They want to avoid that if it's at all possible.

02:04:34.700 But man, you know, for a bunch of genocidal maniacs, they certainly seem to be the victim of a lot of attacks.

02:04:41.760 Yeah, they sure do.

02:04:43.840 And gosh, the best news there could be is a terror group has their hands on an EMP.

02:04:54.580 More tomorrow.

02:04:55.600 We'll see you then.
