Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) was on CNN last night, and Donald Trump is now saying that abortion and IVF should be legal in the United States. Glenn Beck breaks it all down and gives his thoughts.
00:01:53.880We have a lot of guests coming in to talk about their views on what happened with Kamala Harris last night and what Donald Trump is now saying about abortion and IVF.
00:02:07.900We'll get into all of that in 60 seconds.
00:02:11.060First, if you have trouble getting to sleep at night, you probably spend a lot of time looking up at the ceiling thinking, really, is it too much to ask just to close my eyes and drift off like every other normal person out there?
00:02:36.900But, boy, you better, you know, when a prescription says, take this while in bed, you know, it's going to do nasty things to you if you're not in bed.
00:03:22.080Last night, Kamala Harris was on with Dana Bash, and it was interesting.
00:03:32.740Because I watched it trying to think of two things.
00:03:39.000One, a family member of mine who doesn't agree with me on what's going on in the country at all, doesn't see it, but doesn't really watch the news, read the news, listen to the news.
00:03:52.300You know, just is like in their happy little world.
00:03:56.000And so I watched it as that family member.
00:03:59.580And then I watched it as somebody who is really up on things, okay?
00:04:05.520I think if you were really up on things, this interview last night was so agonizing because it was – I've never heard anything like it.
00:04:17.400I really haven't – let me play a couple of cuts here.
00:04:22.120Here's Kamala, cut three, on why she hasn't fixed the economy while she's in office.
00:04:29.380My proposal includes what would be a tax credit of $25,000 for first-time homebuyers so they can just have enough to put a down payment on a home, which is part of the American dream and their aspiration, but do it in a way that allows them to actually get on the path to achieving that goal and that dream.
00:04:49.560So you have been vice president for three and a half years.
00:07:55.040I believe it is very important that we take seriously what we must do to guard against what is a clear crisis in terms of the climate.
00:08:04.760And to do that, we can do what we have accomplished thus far, the Inflation Reduction Act, what we have done to invest by my calculation over probably a trillion dollars over the next 10 years, investing in a clean energy economy.
00:08:19.380What we've already done, creating over 300,000 new clean energy jobs.
00:08:24.960That tells me, from my experience as vice president, we can do it without banning fracking.
00:08:29.940In fact, Dana, Dana, excuse me, I cast the tie-breaking vote.
00:09:50.760She even boasted about the Green New Deal becoming the Inflation Reduction Act and all the things they got through with the Inflation Reduction Act.
00:10:02.100So they admitted to lying to you about the Inflation Reduction Act.
00:12:01.080I'm like, well, I don't want to do this, but I'll listen.
00:12:05.560So he said, look, I have the audience and I have the corporations kind of a little afraid of me when I put their picture up on the no spin zone.
00:12:22.540And he said, so here's what we're going to do.
00:12:27.060When you say something controversial and everybody's at your throat, he said, you're going to come on to my show.
00:12:33.200And I'm going to ask you a tough question.
00:12:35.520And I might even follow it up with another tough question.
00:12:38.320But you need to understand this is a friendly room.
00:12:42.440And from here on out, you can say asked and answered.
00:12:49.260What this whole thing was yesterday was Dana asking tough questions.
00:12:57.460But knowing she's walking into a friendly room.
00:13:02.740When you are a candidate or somebody who is going to be in the hot seat, you know, this is why Kamala won't do anything on Fox.
00:13:11.760You know, if you're walking into a friendly room, they'll push you, but not continue to push you.
00:13:18.640OK, Dana would have never let that that question go with J.D. Vance or Donald Trump.
00:25:36.080He appointed the justices that did that.
00:25:39.900But I don't think that that was his main thing when he was picking justices, who's going to be pro-life.
00:25:45.500And then they got the right verdict, right case came in, and they gave the right verdict.
00:25:55.780But he has always been somebody who is wanting exceptions.
00:26:00.580I don't agree with him, but that's what the vote is all about.
00:26:05.260Now, I just want to say, I believe if this is your critical issue, I would ask that you go out and campaign and vote in your state on the abortion bills.
00:26:22.420You're voting for president of the United States.
00:34:01.660What if I told you that with the investment of just a little bit of your time today, you can not only pay significant less for your phone service, but also you'd be dealing with a phone company that shares your values, not somebody who is standing up and paying, uh, Planned Parenthood millions of dollars, you know, so they can keep slaughtering children.
00:34:21.260Uh, I want you to consider switching your cell phone service over to Patriot Mobile.
00:34:27.020Patriot Mobile is the best of the best.
00:34:31.320I believe they give you better customer service.
00:34:34.480They gave you the exact same coverage, whether you're on, you know, any of the big three, they're on the same cell towers.
00:34:41.720So you're going to get exactly the same coverage, uh, and you're not going to be, you know, spending a lot of money.
00:34:48.560You just go to their website and look, you'll find a package for you and you will save money.
00:36:42.940So Trump painted this as the family members just asked me to take a picture.
00:36:47.140It sure seems like his campaign was there to take pictures.
00:36:50.460And they put this video, as you say, on his TikTok.
00:36:54.140It was, it had implicit criticism of the Biden administration, uh, and implicit praise of his own administration.
00:37:00.760And then there's a, a related issue, which is that some of the pictures that were posted and part of the video that he posted showed the back of the gravestone of another service member who was not involved in Navigate, who died by suicide.
00:37:22.440His death was very jarring to them and to his friends.
00:37:24.940And, uh, they were not asked about this and they then don't have a say in how this is being used.
00:37:31.100And the Trump campaign has expressed no remorse whatsoever about that and is, is attacking anybody who raises questions about it and is attacking this army official.
00:37:40.000Calling this, this employee, uh, mentally unstable, which is.
00:39:01.480She gets on CNN and she says the name of the guy, that it was a grisly suicide that took everybody by shock and that they're a private family.
00:39:13.780Well, if they're a private family, I don't think Maggie Haberman being on CNN, giving the name and the details is something they would appreciate.
00:39:22.900If they had a problem with the, just the name on a tombstone off to the side and nobody knew that name, nobody knew how he died, whatever.
00:39:35.720If they had a problem with that, I think they would have a bigger problem with Maggie Haberman saying, oh, grisly suit.
00:39:45.460Let me talk to you about the suicide thing.
00:39:47.240And given, giving his name out, my gosh, these people are just, you know, I saw, I've never seen Maggie Haberman, never seen Maggie Haberman before.
00:40:00.960You know, I've read her and everything else, but I've never seen her and I'm watching it last night and I'm like, look at that woman.
00:40:06.240I said to my son, look at that woman, just her glasses and her countenance and her face.
00:40:11.560She just looks like a really angry liberal who's just, and I said, she looks like I imagined Maggie Haberman.
00:40:21.780I had no idea until this morning that that was Maggie Haberman.
00:40:26.860She looks exactly like I imagined her.
00:40:31.400I will say, I will quote a woman in my life who's watched Maggie Haberman before and would note this morning, this is the first time they've ever seen Maggie Haberman with makeup on.
00:40:42.320Every time she's on television, I get the same amount of commentary about why doesn't she wear makeup?
00:41:12.060We've got a couple of things that we're going to share with you next hour, including we're going to talk to our good friend at the Heritage Foundation, Kevin Roberts.
00:41:23.660And what did he think about the stances and how she avoided all of the answers?
00:41:39.840So let me talk about the Berna launcher.
00:41:41.720Here's a phrase you never want to have to use someday.
00:41:46.520If you're a gun owner and somebody who carries a gun like me, you've probably been taught carrying firearms comes with lots of responsibilities.
00:41:54.300And one of them is that if you're going to shoot at someone, you shoot to kill.
00:41:59.200But what happens when it's not a situation where you feel like you should kill that person?
00:46:33.080And I'm really interested in hearing why you called it dangerously liberal.
00:46:36.580Well, the reason we did this is precisely what you described about having a friend or a family member or a neighbor who just doesn't want to listen to the facts.
00:46:48.220And so we were sitting around a few weeks ago and thinking, how is it that we can, as the Heritage Foundation, reinsert policies and ideas and facts back into this election cycle?
00:47:00.520And so what we decided was no one's telling the truth about Vice President Kamala Harris's policy record, starting with her and her campaign.
00:47:09.020And obviously the recent interview, if you can call it that, that she did, shed very little light on that.
00:47:14.660So we decided as the largest conservative public policy organization in the world, it probably was our job to do that.
00:47:21.080And so if you go to dangerouslyliberal.com, you can see her policy record as vice president literally on every issue, as you mentioned at the top.
00:47:31.520You know that we take great pride in the objectivity of our research.
00:47:35.160Someone can go there and learn for themselves.
00:47:37.220But why did we name it dangerously liberal?
00:47:39.420Because also speaking objectively and just philosophically, not only is Vice President Harris the most liberal vice president we have ever had in our history, she's dangerously so.
00:47:50.600If you think about what she has done on the economy, on the border, on public safety in cities, on national security and foreign policy, if she were to do that as president of the United States, I think that America would be in danger.
00:48:55.440I believe it was a disaster for people like us that pay attention, but I'm not sure it is for the average American who just doesn't know her.
00:49:07.040It was a disaster for those of us looking for more policy depth, and it was a disaster for journalism because Dana Bash, who I do think did a little bit better than I was expecting.
00:49:17.380But I was disappointed in that she didn't follow up some of her really good questions with the kinds of questions that you would get or Donald Trump would get or any conservative.
00:49:27.480But your point about it not being a disaster for people who are just casual observers, if they were just tuning in for a few minutes or maybe they had the TV on and it was on mute, they see someone whose affect is seemingly joyful, who's seemingly positive, who seems nice.
00:49:44.520And you and I both know that the state of American society right now is that there are a lot of Americans, perfectly good people, who just aren't tuned in enough to those policy issues to actually care.
00:49:57.200And that's why we did this website to kind of come full circle on our motivation.
00:50:01.600So I was watching her last night, and I recognized the tactic.
00:50:05.640This is a tough but friendly interview.
00:50:10.920So the campaign can then say asked and answered, we're moving forward, we're not looking at the past.
00:50:18.020And I think that's what you're going to hear from them from here on out, is we're not talking about the past, we're looking to the future.
00:50:25.500You know, Donald Trump is in the past, we're in the future, and we want to keep this positive.
00:50:31.740And I think that's going to actually be effective for, again, those people who don't pay attention.
00:50:37.400But, Kevin, can you see this economy and the people of America, where it's always the economy stupid, being brainwashed enough that they would vote for the people that brought them this economy, brought us to the brink of war?
00:50:58.360I think that there is a near majority of Americans who, in fact, would vote that way.
00:51:07.660You know that we should not trust any individual poll.
00:51:10.920But if you look at the trends across all of the different polling organizations, a few of them probably with pretty good methodology,
00:51:18.300the trend is really clear, which is that this fantasy land that has been created by the vice president,
00:51:24.420that she's not been part of three and a half years of policy disaster, somehow can look towards the future that's actually been effective thus far.
00:51:34.280You know, for what it's worth, Glenn, although I'm a policy guy and not a campaign prognosticator,
00:51:39.320I sense that the only way to combat that for Mr. Trump and Mr. Vance is to do the precise thing that the vice president is trying to avoid,
00:51:49.020which is to have a policy conversation, to actually hold her accountable to the policy positions that she has.
00:51:57.500And one final point on this, what reveals that, in fact, she wants to avoid that is the flip-flopping she's doing on fracking, on the economy, on national security.
00:52:08.460You think about this convoluted answer about Israel and Palestine last night.
00:52:12.360It's really, really important that Donald Trump, in particular, have the message discipline on policy that his running mate has had, I think, remarkably over the last few weeks.
00:53:00.820You know, the jobs are going elsewhere.
00:53:03.120If he would be disciplined enough to talk about those things, and like you said, almost be, just almost be a little wonky by talking about this is what we're going to do.
00:53:19.400Because you're never going to hear that from Kamala.
00:53:21.860And when you do, celebrate because what they're saying they're going to do, like price controls.
00:54:12.500They were sent here to cause turmoil and just take over neighborhoods.
00:54:17.520That's what they do in Venezuela, and they're doing it here.
00:54:21.380Yes, and for people who have not been to Aurora, Colorado, if this can happen in Aurora, this can happen wherever you are sitting.
00:54:28.280It doesn't matter what your subdivision or neighborhood or suburb is.
00:54:32.240And I think that President Trump has done a very good job in some of the interviews that he's done.
00:54:38.340It's actually impressive for someone as busy as he is, and he's a very healthy 78, can do these hour-long, two-hour-long interviews.
00:54:46.100The more he does that and the more he frames this decision facing Americans as being about restoring security in every respect, what you and I are talking about regarding these Venezuelan gangs, economic security, national security.
00:55:01.740I think that is how you offset the vacuousness of the vice president's rhetoric.
00:56:21.080Man, you took your burner launcher and hit the bullseye.
00:56:23.740I mean, that is the center of – you hit the center of the bullseye.
00:56:27.120What we try to do at Heritage, as you do every day, is not only fight the policy fights that are right in front of us today and this week, but see around the corners.
00:56:36.440And what's happening is that this is their attempt to pile up as many votes as they can so that they can delegitimize a Trump electoral college win.
00:56:50.140If Trump wins this election, which, by the way, I still think he is in good shape to do, they will try to delegitimize everything he tries to do and the entire conservative movement with this national popular vote effort.
00:57:02.880And, obviously, if the opposite happens, if Ms. Harris wins the election, they're going to work on that as well.
00:57:08.780It's just going to take a little bit longer to get done.
00:57:11.160Yeah, they'll just do it through Congress.
00:57:12.980They're not going to make a big deal out of it, at least at first.
00:57:30.280All right, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.
00:57:33.660Let's imagine just for a second that, you know, if you had a person who walked around with you every day letting you know whether the decisions you were about to make were good ones or not so good ones, and whenever you needed an answer to a problem, you could just turn to them and say, hey, and they'd know the answer, or at least they'd know where to go to find out.
00:57:54.160I mean, Google is trying to make that for you, but I wouldn't trust those answers necessarily in the future.
00:58:01.200Give chat GPT time, but that's what they're trying to do.
00:58:05.240But right now, the one that you really need by your side is a really good real estate company and a really good real estate agent when you're buying or selling a house.
00:58:14.440The company I started about 10 years ago is Real Estate Agents I Trust.
01:00:21.300And so one of the things he does is he makes sure that he changes and controls the Supreme Court.
01:00:27.300And the guy that is on the Supreme Court now is also a dictator.
01:00:31.860And he's just making things up as he's going along.
01:00:35.780And so they first, a couple of weeks ago, a few weeks ago, they tried to ban X in Brazil, saying that it was, you know, full of disinformation and misinformation.
01:00:45.740And they told Elon Musk that he had to start banning people.
01:00:50.660They would give him a list, and he would start banning people, but he couldn't tell them why they were being banned.
01:00:57.240And he's like, no, no, I'm not doing that.
01:01:01.620And so they started getting angry with him, and they said they were going to ban X and spaces and everything else.
01:01:08.960Well, Elon Musk said, I don't really care.
01:01:12.780He is the prime example of, excuse the language here, but F you money.
01:01:19.000I was always taught, have some F you money, so if you're a boss and everything, and they ask you to do things, you can just walk out and go, I don't really care.
01:04:05.040But once he bought X, the government started investigating and said, we got to look into Elon Musk and SpaceX and Tesla and everything else.
01:04:20.920If you're like pretty much everybody else, you probably would like just to be able to get in your car and turn the key and it starts, right?
01:04:29.160Go about your merry way and you don't have to worry about, you know, getting repairs.
01:04:33.480Unfortunately, maybe after Jesus comes, you know, and then cars just magically always work.
01:04:40.300But until that time, you're going to have to pay for repairs.
01:04:44.940And when something bad happens, it could cost you an arm and a leg.

01:05:36.900Available on Ablaze right now and then tomorrow wherever you get your podcasts, but I suggest you watch this one.
01:07:31.340I'd love to hear your review on Monday.
01:07:32.660Stories are so important to us, and that is why it is so heartening to see what has been done with movies, et cetera, et cetera.
01:07:46.120I have talked to some of the best artists in the country over the last five years or so.
01:07:54.040And many of them will tell me, well, they won't necessarily say this out loud, we're not taught any of this stuff in – we're not taught storytelling in art school.
01:08:06.940And we're encouraged to, you know, be modern about everything.
01:08:12.100And story – when I was over in England, and I was looking at the stained glass windows, and I saw the story of England and the story of Christ in all of the windows.
01:08:28.260You know, you don't feel this way in America.
01:08:30.340But when you were standing in something that was, you know, from the 12th century, you realize this is how they told stories.
01:08:39.160This is how people – they couldn't read.
01:08:41.020This is how they understood what was going on.
01:08:44.160We have now gone to a society and artists that are not telling a story, or at least not the American story.
01:08:54.620So I've compiled a bunch of really good artists.
01:09:31.520But he got – he was captivated when he came up to the ranch with a bunch of others by some of the people that were teaching all of us how to tell a story.
01:11:21.360So, one of the things that you may not know, if you've never heard Bass Reeves, he is, the legend is that he is the inspiration for the Lone Ranger.
01:11:53.560So, first of all, he found out, one of my paintings is when he finds out that his son is wanted.
01:12:00.280And I tried to tell that story from the perspective of the emotion on the face of the guy that's presenting him with that information and with the poster of his son.
01:12:09.840And another painting is when he has his son in jail and he's actually talking to him, extending the Bible to him, trying to help him to realize the error of his ways.
01:12:20.840And it's a great, I mean, I don't want to take too much time telling each story, but I can really get carried away with them.
01:12:26.960People can go on the website and read those full stories that I have connected to my paintings if you go to American Heritage and Fine Art.
01:12:34.460This guy was so righteous and so good.
01:12:50.440He actually served about 18 years, I believe, and was really early on good behavior.
01:12:56.100So anyway, I did a lot of research in this, and there's a lot of misinformation back and forth about him, but he has so many amazing stories.
01:13:56.000And it's because of him that Texas is.
01:13:59.240You know, there's so much to tell, so little time.
01:14:03.400But, man, I really think that in times like these, American history and the true American history, we need to get these truths out there.
01:14:14.160And, Glenn, that's what you're all about.
01:14:15.460And that's why I love that you're heading up this thing and giving us this opportunity to put our talents to use to help people to see the things that can save our country are important to them, to help them live better lives.
01:14:30.600And we're talking to the right audience.
01:14:53.780Also, one of the things that makes this different, first of all, there will be, you know, awards to the artists, but it'll be judged by you.
01:15:02.100We're not going to have a bunch of art critics there.
01:15:04.320We want to know what stories you really connected to.
01:15:07.400Who was the – what painting was the one that really connected you to that story?
01:15:12.160The other thing that makes this art show different is all of the artifacts that we have from the museum.
01:15:21.100For instance, it shows in Albin's painting, it shows Stephen F. Austin coming, riding a horse with parchment rolled up in his hand.
01:15:34.020It was written in Stephen F. Austin's own hand, and it was the conditions that Mexico gave to the Stephen F. Austin in the United States that said, you can open a colony here.
01:15:48.780And what's amazing about this document is, I wish we would settle on these terms now.
01:15:53.420Mexico said to Austin, if you want a colony in Texas, which is, you know, property of Mexico now, we are a Spanish-speaking country.
01:16:02.740So you have to have – for every 250 families, you have to build a Spanish-speaking church and a Spanish-speaking school.
01:16:10.240You can't let anybody in who has a criminal record.
01:16:13.540If we find out that somebody has committed a crime in the colony and you don't tell us first, we'll close the whole thing down.
01:16:22.740I mean, they were sticklers on all the things that countries should be sticklers on.
01:16:27.220But you will see that actual document and then the painting with him on the horse holding the document.
01:16:34.100So it's a museum and an art show and a story fest all weekend long.
01:16:40.140You can get your tickets now at glennbeck.com or you can go to the website americannarrativesinfineart.com.
01:16:53.980And we will see you at the Mercury Studios in Dallas, Texas in a couple of weeks.
01:20:27.860And then I'm speaking with Alveda King and Tulsi Gabbard also tomorrow.
01:20:35.020And tonight I'm with Tulsi Gabbard and Donald Trump at Moms for Liberty and their convention in Washington, D.C.
01:20:43.160So it's really an exciting weekend and very, very positive.
01:20:48.960Make sure you just check it out and spread the news and retweet anything that you see coming from anybody in the March for Kids to help get the word out.
01:20:58.840Yeah, everyone wants to stand up for kids.
01:21:00.980But when they add exercise to it, it's really disconcerting.
01:23:12.600Between now and when you vote in November, you can also vote with your wallet.
01:23:23.080When you purchase products made in America by American Giant, you're casting a vote for American manufacturing for workers in America, for American quality.
01:29:42.620But there are a lot of real lessons you can take from the Reagan era and that we should continue to take forward.
01:29:47.680And we should also stop and remember our successes every once in a while.
01:29:52.060I think conservatives get very beat up a little bit being a conservative.
01:29:56.820The media is against you all the time.
01:29:58.460Every celebrity is pretty much against you.
01:30:00.840You know, you go online and you say something that's obviously true and you get called a racist and a Nazi and a fascist and all these different things.
01:30:09.360And you get kind of beat up and you start thinking, gosh, we never win anything.
01:31:37.120You know, Dennis Quaid is, you know, he's a major A-list superstar in Hollywood and is, you know, married to Meg Ryan at one point.
01:31:44.760I mean, he was, you know, he's massively huge.
01:31:47.120But, you know, you don't know much necessarily about his story.
01:31:52.380You definitely want to listen to this interview because it's not only about Ronald Reagan, but it is about Dennis Quaid in a way you probably have never heard him speak before.
01:32:01.540He actually, you know, Reagan is his favorite president.
01:32:04.480But he was very hesitant to take that role initially.
01:35:48.840Not just the principles and the policies, but just the ability, the political talent is in just another realm.
01:35:59.100Now, one of the things you do when you're covering a news story, and this has happened to Glenn and I many, many times,
01:36:05.080where you talk about a story over and over and over and over again.
01:36:08.240And then you get involved in it enough to actually go to where the actual story occurred and feel that environment.
01:36:17.940And it's one thing to talk about it from the studio I'm sitting in now.
01:36:21.220It's another thing to go to the location and just feel it.
01:36:24.900And sometimes the second you step off an airplane and you get to the place, you step out of the car and you're at the place that you've been talking about,
01:36:32.820you get a whole different perspective.
01:36:34.840And you're able to just feel that story more in a different way, but also in a more vivid way than ever before.
01:36:43.740And sometimes it totally changes the way you feel about a news story.
01:36:46.720This, of course, also happens when you're an actor and you're able to really take that stuff in.
01:36:52.020And Dennis Quaid talked about that as well.
01:36:55.480There was a part of Reagan and my research of it, people who knew him, that there was kind of the great communicator.
01:37:04.700There was this unreachable, very private place in him that I think even Nancy felt to a certain extent,
01:37:13.380although she probably knew him the best.
01:37:15.100And I think that's where Reagan resided.
01:37:19.940I think it was his relationship with God.
01:37:25.120I think it was his most private thoughts and probably a shield from the people around him.
01:37:35.880Because he had so many people always around him, at least in his political career.
01:37:42.040But I think this also went back to his childhood, where he could have that private place.
01:37:53.460And it's almost Japanese in that what they talk about having the privacy in the midst of so much going on.
01:38:04.200And, you know, I think part of that is what made him a great communicator.
01:38:08.300But getting to that is what I needed to get to, because I knew it was going to be really judged and stuff.
