The Glenn Beck Program - We Are A Sick Nation

00:00:00.000 I'm Hillary. That's your four minute buzz. And now here's Glenn and Stu with the start of our show.

00:00:03.500 Glenn, you're back. Welcome back. We missed you. I am. Thank you very much. Thank you. It's good

00:00:07.560 to be back. Or is it? I have perhaps a different perspective on a few things. I've been gone.

00:00:18.300 I was in Australia bringing families together who have been torn apart in what is really a

00:00:26.080 modern day Holocaust. And seeing America from the other side of the planet is an interesting

00:00:35.140 thing. We'll talk about that coming up in a second. First, let me tell you about home title

00:00:38.480 lock. Capital One data breach just hit 106 million of us had our names, home addresses, banking

00:00:45.140 information exposed. Forget credit card theft. Your greater risk is home title fraud. Now,

00:00:51.340 this is something new. This is something the FBI in Manhattan says is an epidemic.

00:00:56.080 And there is only one company that can protect thieves from taking your home. And it is home

00:01:02.900 title lock. Get 60 days risk free of protection as they find out if your home has already been

00:01:09.380 stolen with home title lock.com. Go there now. Check it all out and keep yourself safe. And

00:01:15.880 your home yours. Home title lock.com. That's home title lock.com.

00:01:20.060 You know, being away for two weeks is given me some perspective. Being on the other side of the

00:01:37.100 planet, being in Australia for a week and dealing only with families who have had their families torn

00:01:44.920 apart, killed and scattered because of ISIS. When I see things like the shootings here in America

00:01:52.500 America and the claims of the left, I have to tell you, we are all playing a game. And I want to show

00:02:05.320 you the game because facts matter. And we go there in 60 seconds.

00:02:11.460 Well, we need some people that are watching over us watching over our right to keep and bear arms. It is a

00:02:26.940 right. I don't care what the government says. I really don't. I care what the Constitution says.

00:02:32.880 I care that this is a God given right. If bears can protect themselves, surely so can human beings.

00:02:43.760 It's a natural right. And we need somebody watching over it. And the people who are watching over to the

00:02:49.260 USCCA, I'm telling you, they're going to come after this from all angles. They're going to go from the

00:02:54.200 banks. They're going to go for the insurance. They're going to go through taxes. They're going to do

00:02:58.780 everything they can. Right now, the USCCA, just so they can introduce themselves to you, giving away a free

00:03:06.960 gun. Yeah, they're not ashamed of it. Every single day through August, a free gun to somebody, your

00:03:15.040 responsible gun owner. Text the word Glenn, G-L-E-N-N to the number 87222. Could be a Glock, a Kimber, even an AR.

00:03:23.860 There's no catch. It's 100% free. What they want to do is they want to introduce themselves to you

00:03:28.880 because they are leading in the education and in the defense of those who are carrying a gun.

00:03:37.220 I want you to text Glenn to the number 87222 right now. Get more information. Get the rules.

00:03:44.080 Go to protectanddefend.com. Standard message and data rates do apply. When you text the word Glenn,

00:03:50.480 Glenn, G-L-E-N-N to the number 87222.

00:03:59.680 In an average year in the US, there are 31,000 homicides, suicides, or accidental shootings,

00:04:08.500 resulting in around 15,000 deaths per year. However, private citizens use firearms for self-defense

00:04:16.960 between 800,000 and 2.5 million times a year. The wide range is because so much defensive gun use

00:04:25.480 goes unreported to the police. But if you look at those stats, that means firearms are 80 times more

00:04:32.400 likely to be used to protect and defend life versus taking life. By the way, that comes from the CDC.

00:04:38.940 Of the defensive gun uses by private citizens in the US, between 80,000 and 200,000 of those

00:04:48.000 involve women using a firearm to defend herself from sexual assault. That's just from the oh-so-conservative

00:04:55.740 Journal of Criminal Law. The FBI crime dataset says the ATF estimates there are currently 290 million

00:05:07.260 firearms in private ownership in the US. That's excluding any kind of collector or replica firearms.

00:05:14.780 That is up from 210 million guns in 1995. So that's a 29% increase in 24 years. Yet over that same time

00:05:26.700 span, violent crime in the US has fallen by 50%. And violent assaults involving a firearm have fallen by 55%.

00:05:36.380 Again, just from the FBI. The United States boasts the highest firearm ownership rate per capita,

00:05:44.460 89 firearms owned for every 100 citizens. The next closest country is Yemen. That has about half the gun rate

00:05:55.220 per capita. The US has firearm ownership rate that is 12 times that of the UK, 40 times that of China.

00:06:03.780 Yet despite such a huge firearm ownership rate, the US is not in the top 10 of homicide rates. Nor are we in

00:06:13.120 the top 20. Nor are we in the top 30. Nor are we in Casey's top 40. If you measure the total number of

00:06:22.520 international homicides per 100,000 citizens, the United States comes in at 103. That's about in the middle.

00:06:33.940 By the way, that is from the oh so conservative. UN homicide stats. Using UN data, researchers are are confirming now

00:06:45.920 at Harvard that in Western democracies, there is a negative correlation between firearm ownership rates

00:06:53.140 and gun homicide rates. Meaning john lighted lot has been right this whole time. More guns does equal

00:07:01.960 less crime. Despite having some of the most restrictive firearm laws among Western democracy,

00:07:08.300 the United Kingdom has a violent crime rate that is more than four times that of the US. The UK population

00:07:16.920 suffers 2034 violent crimes for every 100,000 citizens. If in the US we endure 466 per 100,000,

00:07:29.760 why is it such a problem here? Why should we be more like England? In fact, almost every country in the EU has a

00:07:40.000 much higher rate of violent crime per capita compared to the US. These are things that we like to call facts.

00:07:48.740 During mass shooting events in the US, the average number of deaths when police end the mass shooting is 14.3.

00:07:57.140 The average number of dead when a private citizen with a gun ends the mass shooting is 2.3. And by the way,

00:08:07.840 I'm not one of those that believes that 2.3 equals a mass shooting.

00:08:16.640 But if you are, let's take those stats. If you're waiting for the police to arrive to stop a mass shooter,

00:08:23.660 six times more people will die. Police officers from federal to local levels kill an average of 606

00:08:32.760 criminals per year. Private citizens using firearms in self-defense kill 1,527.

00:08:41.280 seven. I'm not going to wait around for the police to protect me. There is a false narrative going on.

00:08:51.880 And now even the Republicans are starting to fall into this trap. They're afraid. They're afraid.

00:09:00.780 Why are they afraid? Because they don't know the stats. Oh my gosh, you know what this is?

00:09:06.480 This is white nationalism. That's what this is. This is white nationalism. Really? Is that what this is?

00:09:17.860 Right now, people are claiming that there were 250 mass shootings in America. 250 in the last 12 months? Really?

00:09:27.720 Well, yes. If you agree that mass shootings mean two or more people injured or killed.

00:09:38.180 Well, that would mean that duel that Hamilton and Burr had was a mass shooting.

00:09:49.400 That was called a duel.

00:09:51.400 Well, if you if you look at the real numbers, mass shootings, these are coming from people now that say that two or more victims have to be injured, including the assailant.

00:10:07.940 But let's just take that number because that's the number you get 250 from.

00:10:12.300 Well, the reality is that 75 percent of those mass shootings are black or Hispanic males and 99 percent of mass shootings involve handguns because the vast, vast majority of mass shootings by two or more.

00:10:30.480 That definition would end up being gang or drug related violence.

00:10:35.760 So banning assault weapons or anything of the type would have zero material impact to live saved or loss due to mass shootings of two or more.

00:10:46.860 When you actually look at mass shootings and you you call them what they really are.

00:10:53.600 It's not two.

00:10:55.060 Maybe it's four.

00:10:56.620 Maybe it's six.

00:10:57.660 I don't know, but it's definitely not two.

00:11:00.880 You go from a number of 250 to six mass shootings.

00:11:06.940 Now, that is still six too many.

00:11:10.240 But that number is at least reasonable.

00:11:14.300 Six mass shootings.

00:11:16.140 That is horrible.

00:11:18.240 But let's use that number now six because surely we can prove that it was white supremacy that did it until you realize that even when you look at the numbers this way.

00:11:32.720 It's now half were white.

00:11:35.340 So you either have 75 percent of the 250 killings being black or Hispanic or you have half of them being black or Hispanic.

00:11:49.120 Either way, it doesn't seem like a white supremacist problem.

00:11:52.520 And either way, banning ARs don't work, wouldn't solve it.

00:11:59.100 So what would?

00:12:00.780 I'll give you the answer in 60 seconds.

00:12:09.820 First, when you hear the word prepper, what comes to mind?

00:12:13.020 The Hollywood elites have decided that preppers are a bunch of paranoid freaks wearing tinfoil hats.

00:12:19.980 I have to tell you, if you're not prepping for something, if you're not if you're not aware that something is coming your way in your lifetime, that is going to be a disaster.

00:12:31.320 Whether that is unemployment or hurricane, an earthquake, crazy politicians, you're living in a dream world or maybe you're living someplace outside of the Western world.

00:12:45.300 There is nothing crazy about being prepared.

00:12:49.220 You notice what happens when the weatherman reports a hurricane approaching?

00:12:52.340 People hoard food.

00:12:54.180 Same thing with a snowstorm.

00:12:56.000 Don't do it.

00:12:56.820 The people who don't panic are the people who have prepped from emergency food storage to water filtration to survival essentials.

00:13:05.880 My Patriot Supply stocks the items needed to survive a disaster so you can be ahead of the mob and just have peace of mind.

00:13:13.600 When when you're caught off guard, life's unforeseen challenges.

00:13:17.960 It happens and you panic.

00:13:20.920 You don't want to let that happen.

00:13:22.520 Go to mypatriotsupply.com right now and prepare for the unthinkable.

00:13:28.200 It's mypatriotsupply.com.

00:13:31.340 We break for 10 seconds.

00:13:32.820 Station ID.

00:13:42.220 So I'm going to say something that is not heard, I guess, in America.

00:13:47.340 Not nobody wants to talk about this, but the shootings in America are not the problem.

00:13:57.060 Any shootings that we have in America, those are symptoms because here's the truth.

00:14:03.920 We're sick.

00:14:05.300 We are a really sick culture right now.

00:14:09.280 We are sick as a people.

00:14:11.240 We're sick as a nation.

00:14:13.220 Culturally, we're sick as individuals.

00:14:16.040 Many of us are sick.

00:14:18.040 Suicides are way up.

00:14:20.940 Why?

00:14:21.820 Because of the razor blades?

00:14:24.320 Or because people are sick?

00:14:27.860 The drug epidemic is the same.

00:14:32.280 Is that just because China is doing the opioid war against us now?

00:14:39.520 Is that the reason?

00:14:41.140 Or is it that we're sick?

00:14:42.800 Is it that we could fix the opioid?

00:14:46.540 We could fix suicides by tougher laws.

00:14:50.400 Does that even make sense?

00:14:54.200 Something in us has changed.

00:14:56.860 Something within us, our neighbors, our families, our towns.

00:15:01.400 What is the disease that is eating us?

00:15:04.580 Because it's killing not just the innocent or just the guilty.

00:15:11.960 It's killing both.

00:15:13.140 It's killing all of us.

00:15:15.200 Politicians, media, and frankly, most Americans don't say a word weekend after weekend of the latest 25 dead in Chicago.

00:15:24.020 They don't say a word about it.

00:15:26.000 Why?

00:15:26.500 Because we know the shootings there are a symptom.

00:15:33.160 Just like the shootings in the rest of America are a symptom.

00:15:37.720 The shootings in Chicago are a symptom of hopelessness and fatherlessness, education, or lack thereof, of broken families.

00:15:46.820 That is what is causing the shooting in Chicago.

00:15:51.460 It's not the gun.

00:15:54.160 Quite frankly, you take away the guns and the African-American community will be as helpless to protect themselves as they were when the Democratic clan came riding into town with their horses and their robes and their torches and took the guns away from the African-Americans for their own safety and protection.

00:16:13.260 Well, maybe it's our children.

00:16:17.800 Maybe the children are the problem.

00:16:21.060 You'd never give scissors to children and have them run around with them.

00:16:25.100 Yeah, well, we're not children.

00:16:28.320 But perhaps that is one of the infections that we refuse to diagnose.

00:16:34.180 We more and more every day ask the government, corporations, public institutions to treat us like children, not just children.

00:16:41.920 In fact, we ask our children to act like adults.

00:16:45.500 Hey, kids, you're four.

00:16:47.240 Let's go to the library and meet a drag queen who's going to tell you how to twerk.

00:16:52.300 What the hell is that?

00:16:55.100 Hey, you're 14.

00:16:56.340 You can make the decision on your own about a child.

00:16:58.860 You want an abortion?

00:17:00.160 You have a right to it.

00:17:02.000 But once it comes to paying for your health care, no, you've got to be 24, 26, 30, 30, 40.

00:17:08.380 You're never really responsible for anything.

00:17:10.780 It gives us an excuse to have everything we want, do whatever we want, and never have to pay for our own sins.

00:17:24.600 But I'm not a child, and I don't wish to be treated like one.

00:17:28.940 Our children, they're treated as helpless babies, and that is an infection in and of itself, causing so many of our children to become ill.

00:17:39.540 They don't want to be treated as morons, babies, or endless, never-ending children.

00:17:46.480 15-year-olds have changed the world, but that's only when they're expected to.

00:17:52.560 They rise to the occasion, and just as the occasion is calling our children the loudest, we medicate them.

00:18:03.760 We tell them to conform to an increasingly meaningless and senseless set of doctrines.

00:18:11.420 We fail to actually educate them in any real and meaningful manner.

00:18:17.800 We don't teach them how to think.

00:18:19.940 We teach them what to think.

00:18:21.680 We baby our children.

00:18:23.440 We lower the bar.

00:18:24.560 We expect less when they are crying out for more and more.

00:18:28.800 And then what do we do?

00:18:32.480 We offer them a hopeless and, worse yet, meaningless worldview and future.

00:18:38.980 Then a third of us adults claim we expect too much from them.

00:18:42.680 Another third of us adults say, well, it's not our kid.

00:18:46.180 And finally, maybe a third.

00:18:51.440 Take a look at our failing marriages, our growing debt, a life that is without purpose, and say, maybe that might be a problem.

00:19:05.520 Meanwhile, most of Americans claim our children are just lazy.

00:19:11.460 They don't want to work while having whatever they want.

00:19:15.940 All the while, they continue to pile up the unprecedented debt on their shoulders, making them effective slaves to a future so we could have whatever we want right now.

00:19:28.060 But let's not talk about that problem.

00:19:31.460 Because the problem certainly, certainly is not our children.

00:19:35.520 Or what we're teaching.

00:19:37.560 Or what we're expecting.

00:19:39.140 Or what we're not expecting.

00:19:41.020 It's got to be race.

00:19:43.620 Race has got to be the problem, right?

00:19:47.840 No, race and our relations is yet another symptom.

00:19:53.120 It's a symptom of moral corruption.

00:19:56.860 And it's moral corruption in those who want us and need us to fear each other.

00:20:02.260 There was a song in South Pacific a long, long time ago.

00:20:08.380 And it had the line, you have to be carefully taught to hate.

00:20:13.180 You have to be carefully taught.

00:20:15.060 I don't know of a time, at least in my lifetime, where we have had so many teachers willing, dying to teach us to hate each other.

00:20:25.120 And yet we treat this symptom to mask the pain.

00:20:32.100 We seek any easy answer.

00:20:35.500 Oh, we've got white supremacy going on.

00:20:37.800 Ban the guns.

00:20:39.480 Yeah, that's what we have to do.

00:20:41.200 You know what?

00:20:41.840 Let me tell you something.

00:20:42.660 I have high blood pressure.

00:20:45.260 My doctor prescribes medicine.

00:20:47.180 I have to take it every day.

00:20:48.560 Now, I don't ask him what the cause is, and he knows what the cause is, and I do too.

00:20:55.940 Cause is really easy.

00:20:57.100 I'm fat.

00:20:58.400 I eat too much.

00:20:59.700 I'm fat.

00:21:01.320 But I don't want to treat that.

00:21:02.760 I like cake and ice cream.

00:21:04.620 I'll just take a pill so I can have the cake and ice cream too.

00:21:09.620 Well, if this is America, why can't I take a pill?

00:21:12.200 Don't talk to me about being fat.

00:21:13.980 As my waistline increases, so does my need for a higher dosage.

00:21:19.540 And my delusion grows.

00:21:21.800 And that's what's killing me.

00:21:23.640 And it's allowed to fester longer and longer.

00:21:26.840 And there are millions of these miracle pills or solution.

00:21:30.640 And in every case, it only makes things worse.

00:21:34.340 Don't have the right credit score to buy a house?

00:21:37.200 Don't worry.

00:21:37.860 No credit checks.

00:21:38.940 We won't even ask for proof of ID or even a job.

00:21:41.440 And we all allow this con to work.

00:21:45.060 And when it comes undone, we blame somebody else.

00:21:47.920 The bank was greedy and wanted your money.

00:21:49.920 The politician wanted to be seen as helping you live your dream house all the way down the line.

00:21:54.400 And best of all, I'm really just a big kid.

00:21:57.820 I'm not really responsible.

00:21:59.180 They are.

00:21:59.840 So the lie gets bigger and bigger.

00:22:02.160 And so does the infection.

00:22:05.320 If I have a heart attack, it'd be easy for my family to blame the doctor.

00:22:08.520 But, you know, I know what the cause of my heart attack is.

00:22:12.320 Me and my unwillingness to live in reality.

00:22:16.980 That exercise is needed.

00:22:19.360 And that we're blessed, blessed to live at a time where food is so plentiful.

00:22:24.420 So now we have to do something that goes against human nature.

00:22:28.560 Don't eat food when it's available.

00:22:31.540 Because it's available now, in an hour from now, tomorrow, next week, and God willing, for the rest of our lives.

00:22:38.940 It's time we face self-evident truths.

00:22:43.920 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:22:49.100 Simply safe.

00:22:50.120 You know, it takes police 45 minutes to respond to a home security line.

00:22:53.240 That's almost an hour.

00:22:54.420 And it's for a reason.

00:22:56.120 Because burglar alarms, when they go off, most of the time, it's a mistake.

00:23:01.180 Most of the time, it's somebody opening up a door or window.

00:23:03.780 And you're like, ah, crap.

00:23:04.960 I set the burglar alarm.

00:23:06.480 That happens all the time.

00:23:08.780 Simply safe, however, has video verification technology.

00:23:12.320 Now, that helps the police get to the scene three and a half times faster.

00:23:16.540 Simply safe can visually confirm that break-ins are happening and let the police know that makes their response time go from 45 minutes to 7 minutes.

00:23:28.060 Simply safe.

00:23:28.840 They make it all easy for you.

00:23:30.300 No contract.

00:23:30.880 No hidden fees.

00:23:31.560 No fine print.

00:23:32.540 Around-the-clock monitoring.

00:25:13.000 Hey, welcome to the program.

00:25:14.760 Glad you're here.

00:25:16.060 Glenn Beck, finally on the Glenn Beck program, which is kind of a unique turn of events.

00:25:21.900 Pat is here with us to talk about the suicide.

00:25:29.120 Wink, wink.

00:25:30.640 What does that mean?

00:25:32.000 Nothing.

00:25:32.760 They did an autopsy over the weekend.

00:25:34.980 Yeah.

00:25:35.240 And they have determined that they can't determine the cause of death yet.

00:25:39.520 Of course.

00:25:40.620 I mean, why would an autopsy determine the cause of death?

00:25:43.440 Wait, you've done an autopsy on a guy who had to have hung himself, right?

00:25:48.420 I mean, what else could he have done?

00:25:49.780 Yeah.

00:25:49.940 You can't determine the cause of death?

00:25:52.860 Come on.

00:25:53.580 Now, what I heard was that they're releasing it with the FBI report.

00:25:57.360 So it's not just, they just, they can't determine it.

00:26:00.800 I listened to the, was it daily or I listened to, I listened to a couple of things from the

00:26:05.560 left every morning.

00:26:06.360 So this maybe came from maybe NPR.

00:26:09.820 This came from NPR.

00:26:10.940 That the autopsy was performed and they have, uh, can't determine, can't determine the cause

00:26:17.120 of death yet.

00:26:18.440 Well, I, I couldn't help but notice this was a guy who was on suicide watch.

00:26:23.760 Yeah.

00:26:24.380 But it had been taken off of it.

00:26:27.180 Uh, they do have monitors to see what's going on in his cell.

00:26:31.220 Yeah.

00:26:31.540 Yeah.

00:26:31.700 Yeah.

00:26:31.820 Yeah.

00:26:31.920 But they were all pointed outside the cells.

00:26:34.300 I mean, that's where all the action is, right?

00:26:36.160 Is just outside of the jail cell.

00:26:38.660 The guards were supposed to be checking on him every 15 minutes, but didn't.

00:26:44.140 They were just too tired.

00:26:45.660 And he was supposed to be wearing a suicide proof jacket, but wasn't.

00:26:52.160 So what a bunch of amazing coincidences those are.

00:26:57.600 I mean, and then the guy just happened to conveniently hang himself when there's nothing

00:27:03.880 to hang yourself from, apparently in those cells.

00:27:07.320 It's just weird.

00:27:09.400 Well, we all know Hillary Clinton was there.

00:27:12.720 Hillary was there.

00:27:14.200 She was in the bottom bunk.

00:27:15.880 Yeah.

00:27:16.080 Really?

00:27:16.480 Yeah.

00:27:16.660 She was in the bottom bunk.

00:27:17.740 That's has an, was that on the NPR too?

00:27:19.620 Cause I haven't heard that.

00:27:20.380 I don't know which one that was on.

00:27:22.160 But yeah, she was in the bottom bunk.

00:27:24.040 Pretty sure.

00:27:24.460 Well, they've only been able to get to somewhere between 40 and 400 people so far.

00:27:31.940 They can get to Jeffrey Epstein.

00:27:33.580 Well, what do you think of this theory that Sandy Berger, even though he's dead, somehow

00:27:37.700 or another got in and was trying to smuggle Jeffrey Epstein out in his underpants.

00:27:42.240 And Epstein just was, I mean, you had smothered to death in the underpants.

00:27:49.660 Well, he would commit suicide if stuck in the underpants of Sandy Berger.

00:27:52.980 I would assume.

00:27:53.660 Especially right now.

00:27:54.220 We don't know that.

00:27:55.160 We don't know that.

00:27:56.340 Well, that's, there's not a lot of room there with all the documents Sandy had in there.

00:28:00.140 Right.

00:28:00.660 I don't know how he fit.

00:28:01.740 Right.

00:28:01.920 But, you know, people wonder why there is a conspiracy theory on this one.

00:28:06.140 Oh, come on.

00:28:07.040 I don't know.

00:28:08.360 This is what happens when you constantly lie to the American people.

00:28:12.460 Yeah.

00:28:12.780 Incompetence is the, is the, there are the parents of most conspiracy theories.

00:28:16.740 Yes.

00:28:16.900 Right.

00:28:17.180 So, I mean, we don't know what happened here.

00:28:18.880 Obviously.

00:28:19.240 No idea.

00:28:19.380 It's funny though, the media is blaming the right for like jumping to these conspiracy

00:28:24.780 theories.

00:28:25.160 And part of this is because Trump did the retweet thing, but the left has had conspiracy theories

00:28:29.200 on this going on forever.

00:28:30.480 They just said three weeks ago, the guy was, was likely on a hit list.

00:28:35.440 Well, yeah.

00:28:37.180 I mean, who doesn't think that that is possible?

00:28:39.940 Right.

00:28:40.120 You have a guy who everyone is saying, do you know, everyone, including the Pope had sex

00:28:46.140 with people that he lined up.

00:28:48.340 Of course, there's a million people that want this guy dead.

00:28:51.940 By the way, we haven't seen the Pope's name yet on any flight logs.

00:28:55.440 Yet.

00:28:55.960 Yet.

00:28:56.960 But I mean, you have not only people like Clinton and a lot of figures on the left.

00:29:01.660 You also have Trump, who has also been thrown into this by the left.

00:29:05.660 John Glenn.

00:29:06.280 Yeah.

00:29:06.720 You have John Glenn.

00:29:07.520 You have also multiple billionaires, not, not necessarily not as partisan figures.

00:29:13.380 Quite a few women are on this list.

00:29:16.120 It's really, it's a weird.

00:29:17.920 What?

00:29:18.040 Yeah.

00:29:18.360 There's a lot of women on the, that have been on these flight logs.

00:29:21.720 Right.

00:29:22.200 That's, and that's part of this, which is like, just because you went on one of these

00:29:25.460 doesn't mean that you raped young girls.

00:29:28.280 It doesn't.

00:29:29.460 But there's an, like Bill Richardson, former governor of, uh, of New Mexico and former

00:29:35.160 presidential candidate.

00:29:36.180 That he is thought to have had sex with.

00:29:38.440 You know, what's so funny is that each side is like, well, Bill Richardson, of course, of

00:29:42.860 course, he was in with the Clintons.

00:29:44.740 Each side is doing this.

00:29:46.340 Right.

00:29:46.420 You know, you hear somebody like Alan Dershowitz, of course, of course, of course, of course.

00:29:52.220 I mean, we don't, there, do we need, do we need a trial?

00:29:55.780 Do we need anything?

00:29:56.520 No, it's already been done.

00:29:57.600 It's done.

00:29:57.940 Yeah.

00:29:58.560 It's done.

00:29:59.600 We just know.

00:30:00.680 Our side is clean.

00:30:02.080 Their side is dirty.

00:30:03.380 Didn't Dershowitz already sort of disprove that he had anything to do with anything?

00:30:08.240 Oh, did you not hear two weeks ago?

00:30:09.900 We had him on for an hour.

00:30:11.160 Yeah.

00:30:11.520 Oh, you have to listen to it.

00:30:12.840 It's on.

00:30:13.380 I think I heard part of that.

00:30:14.720 It's unbelievable.

00:30:16.340 Yeah.

00:30:16.620 There's never been, I've never heard a guy more absolutely clear and say, look, I'll show

00:30:22.940 you my diet.

00:30:23.520 I'll answer any question.

00:30:25.160 I'll show you all the evidence.

00:30:26.840 I'm not where they say I was.

00:30:30.420 Oh, yeah.

00:30:31.120 Wow.

00:30:31.400 I mean, it's, it's really, he's either the ballsiest liar in the world or he's absolutely innocent.

00:30:37.660 And he said, he's going to come down and do a podcast with Glenn and bring the evidence.

00:30:41.020 Yeah.

00:30:41.520 And show you.

00:30:42.100 That's awesome.

00:30:42.760 Yeah.

00:30:43.220 He said, I'll show you the diaries.

00:30:44.340 I'll show you the calendars.

00:30:45.440 I'll show you everything.

00:30:46.520 That's great.

00:30:47.180 He's like, I've got it all.

00:30:48.780 And apparently so did, so did Epstein.

00:30:50.820 Apparently he's got really extensive diaries and nobody wanted him to talk.

00:30:55.060 It is not a really big stretch to think that somebody killed him.

00:30:59.340 Come on.

00:30:59.880 It's not a big stretch.

00:31:00.780 When there is a mobster in jail and you know that, uh, you know, fingers, uh, fingers Malone

00:31:08.660 is also in there and in the cell next to him.

00:31:11.200 You're not when every godfather wants that guy dead.

00:31:15.180 No one is surprised by it.

00:31:17.180 Right.

00:31:17.520 Why is it?

00:31:18.240 We have these godfather like power figures and we think that it's unreasonable that one

00:31:25.020 of them, one of them wanted this guy dead.

00:31:28.280 And by the way, it's possible.

00:31:30.500 It's not the Clintons.

00:31:31.520 It's somebody else on this list.

00:31:33.440 It's not the Clintons.

00:31:35.580 I love that.

00:31:37.140 Hey, hell, I just, let's keep an open mind.

00:31:39.180 It is possible that it's not the Clintons.

00:31:41.940 Right.

00:31:42.240 It's called fair and balanced.

00:31:43.600 Thank you.

00:31:44.200 You decide.

00:31:45.120 Thank you.

00:31:46.960 That's where we are.

00:31:48.300 That's so crazy.

00:31:49.360 Well, I mean, you know, and it is right.

00:31:51.180 Like you would totally think this in a mobster case.

00:31:54.320 You would absolutely immediately go to, not to mention the whole, you know, child molester

00:32:00.820 in prison thing doesn't usually turn out well for anybody.

00:32:03.700 Right.

00:32:04.020 But in addition to this, you have, if there's a conspiracy theory, I mean, Trump has some

00:32:07.660 power here, right?

00:32:08.860 Yeah.

00:32:09.000 He's president of the United States.

00:32:10.380 He's got some investigative power here with these organizations and maybe they'll find something.

00:32:15.500 I mean, I think it's probably best to wait for the evidence and see what actually happened.

00:32:19.520 No, it's way more fun to speculate right now.

00:32:22.020 Right now.

00:32:23.120 It is.

00:32:23.620 Seriously.

00:32:24.060 I'm enjoying the speculation on both sides because who knows?

00:32:27.960 I don't know.

00:32:29.060 I mean, these are really powerful people.

00:32:30.700 It's probably more likely that these people would kill somebody in jail than even the mobsters.

00:32:34.720 This is really bad.

00:32:35.860 They're worse.

00:32:36.000 This is really bad.

00:32:36.980 I was talking about what the infection is in the United States.

00:32:40.040 Here's an example of it.

00:32:41.460 Yeah.

00:32:41.980 Nobody thinks.

00:32:42.900 I don't care who you thought, whether you thought it was Trump or Clinton, you know,

00:32:48.540 it doesn't matter.

00:32:49.840 Right.

00:32:50.520 The majority of people think something's fishy and we'll never get to the truth.

00:32:55.440 I bet the vast majority of people, the vast majority.

00:32:58.900 I haven't seen a poll yet, but when it comes out, I'll bet everybody thinks.

00:33:03.020 You'll never.

00:33:03.500 This will always be.

00:33:04.580 He was killed by somebody.

00:33:06.240 Yeah.

00:33:06.960 I mean, and that's that's part of the sickness.

00:33:09.180 That is part of the sickness.

00:33:10.620 And it comes from remember, I did that monologue back in 2004 about conspiracy theories and

00:33:18.440 said, as long as people continue to lie and cover things up, you will have conspiracy theories.

00:33:25.840 And the more lies, the more cover ups, the more people will start to believe in conspiracy

00:33:32.120 theories.

00:33:32.640 So and it doesn't have to be a lie or a cover up on anything important.

00:33:37.960 It's if they're covering up these little things, you don't think they're going to cover up this.

00:33:43.620 That's the problem.

00:33:44.940 Yeah, there may there may not be any cover up.

00:33:48.120 This may be completely exactly as reported, but most Americans will not believe it.

00:33:54.320 And it's because we don't have trust.

00:33:56.320 We don't have trust in the FBI anymore.

00:33:58.020 We don't have trust in the justice system.

00:34:02.060 We don't have trust in the jail system.

00:34:04.760 We don't have trust in the politicians.

00:34:06.680 We don't have, as I'm talking, a blanket statement.

00:34:10.020 We don't believe anything if it at all touches politics.

00:34:15.400 We don't believe it.

00:34:16.860 Yeah.

00:34:17.180 How are you going to fix a country like that?

00:34:18.620 I mean, like you laid this out at the beginning of this, Pat, with all the coincidences.

00:34:23.760 Forget that.

00:34:24.480 Let's just say it's all real.

00:34:25.620 Right.

00:34:26.140 Yeah.

00:34:26.340 At the very best, incompetence is what breeds these things.

00:34:30.720 Why do you believe that?

00:34:32.360 Why do people believe these conspiracy theories?

00:34:34.360 It's because it's almost inexplicable incompetence.

00:34:40.380 How on earth?

00:34:40.820 This is a guy who already tried to kill himself like last week.

00:34:44.080 What do you mean he's off of suicide watch?

00:34:45.600 What do you mean they're not checking?

00:34:46.540 It doesn't make any sense.

00:34:47.040 None of it makes any sense.

00:34:47.520 He's not wearing the jacket.

00:34:48.500 What do you?

00:34:49.000 None of that makes any sense.

00:34:50.100 And we've been lied to so many times.

00:34:51.300 Yeah.

00:34:51.600 We just don't believe this stuff.

00:34:52.820 It's totally understandable.

00:34:54.240 The other thing that former inmates there are saying is there's nothing to hang yourself

00:34:58.780 from.

00:34:59.460 Yeah.

00:34:59.880 There's nothing in the ceiling that you can dangle from.

00:35:02.220 The bed is not such that you could hang yourself from it.

00:35:05.280 There's no doorknobs.

00:35:06.820 It's apparently virtually impossible to hang yourself.

00:35:10.200 Yeah.

00:35:10.320 There's a Ben Mesrick's latest book is about the Bitcoin billionaires.

00:35:15.920 And they focus on Charlie Shrem quite a bit, who's one of the very early people in Bitcoin

00:35:21.180 who, you know, was in charge of one of the first Bitcoin exchanges and everything else.

00:35:24.860 He eventually got in trouble because he was approving transactions that were going to Silk

00:35:29.160 Road.

00:35:30.300 And this is going.

00:35:31.220 So going back in the old days, he went to prison.

00:35:33.240 He went to this prison.

00:35:34.220 He spent time in this prison.

00:35:35.420 He's like, they don't miss anything there.

00:35:37.620 Yeah.

00:35:37.800 Like, I don't know how they could have missed something like this.

00:35:40.420 They don't miss anything.

00:35:41.640 And this guy's not Jeffrey Epstein.

00:35:43.620 He's a Bitcoin guy.

00:35:44.480 He just said it was impossible, wasn't it?

00:35:45.220 Maybe that's the same guy I read about.

00:35:47.300 He's it.

00:35:47.940 One of these inmates, former inmates, said it's just impossible to kill yourself.

00:35:52.060 Virtually impossible in this cell.

00:35:54.520 So.

00:35:55.300 I'm glad you said virtually.

00:35:56.640 Virtually.

00:35:57.580 Because.

00:35:58.100 Because obviously he did.

00:35:59.140 He obviously found a way.

00:36:01.760 Really a talented suicider.

00:36:03.680 He found a way.

00:36:04.380 Yeah, he did.

00:36:05.100 And, you know, that's American ingenuity for us.

00:36:07.520 And I, for one.

00:36:08.540 Well, this is a guy who's pretty innovative if you read those Miami Herald stories.

00:36:12.060 Yes.

00:36:12.080 Yes.

00:36:12.280 When he wants it, he has a goal.

00:36:13.920 He worked really hard for it.

00:36:15.560 He finds a way to get it done.

00:36:18.180 All right.

00:36:18.840 Let me tell you about Tacoma's.

00:36:21.580 I noticed you're wearing the shirt they sent you.

00:36:24.420 Got the boots.

00:36:25.520 Got the boots.

00:36:26.680 Have you tried on their jeans yet?

00:36:28.160 Did you guys get the jeans?

00:36:28.820 I'm wearing them right now, Glenn.

00:36:31.120 I am, too.

00:36:32.400 They're great.

00:36:32.700 This was not planned.

00:36:34.000 I think you guys were planned because you, you know, they sent you a nice little gift

00:36:38.840 on Friday.

00:36:40.320 Very nice.

00:36:40.760 But I'm wearing the boots.

00:36:43.360 I'm wearing the Tacoma's jeans.

00:36:45.700 They're great, great jeans.

00:36:48.080 Yeah.

00:36:48.260 They're really comfortable.

00:36:49.600 Really great jeans.

00:36:50.380 They're wearing the shirts and made a really nice t-shirt.

00:36:52.760 It has that perfect t-shirt material.

00:36:54.880 Yeah.

00:36:55.240 Love it.

00:36:56.300 I'm a big fan.

00:36:57.680 Big fan.

00:36:57.940 Nothing better.

00:36:58.520 Yeah.

00:37:01.900 They're made to fit you right out of the box.

00:37:51.880 We go to Debbie.

00:37:53.140 Hello, Debbie.

00:37:53.940 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:37:55.920 Mr. Beck.

00:37:56.860 Mr. Beck, you made me cry this morning.

00:37:59.280 I am a child of the Iron Rand doctrine, and my dad always told me, and anybody who would

00:38:07.620 listen, my children are taught what to think, how to think, not what to think.

00:38:12.300 Amen.

00:38:13.540 Amen.

00:38:14.180 And I just, I love your program, and our 15-year-old son is raised that way, and I just wanted to

00:38:20.120 take a minute, and thanks for making me cry.

00:38:23.100 You're welcome.

00:38:24.340 What not my intention, but thank you very much, Debbie.

00:38:26.500 I appreciate it.

00:38:27.960 It's good to be back.

00:38:29.580 It's, I was in, I was in Australia, and I'll talk about this coming up in a little while.

00:38:37.280 We reunited through the Nazarene Fund, this family, and wow, does nothing else mean anything

00:38:47.520 after that.

00:38:48.800 You know, it's one of those, one of those moments in your life where you're like, what

00:38:53.920 are we doing with our lives?

00:38:57.040 But I learned a lot about the sickness, honestly, of America, and how to, when you are on the

00:39:07.780 other side of the planet, and you're at a place like Australia that has 21 million people

00:39:16.280 in the entire continent, 21, you go to Sydney, and I don't know, I always thought Sydney

00:39:21.000 was this gigantic place.

00:39:23.600 It's really not.

00:39:24.180 It's like the size of Pittsburgh.

00:39:27.060 It's about 3 million people, and then there's no, I mean, there's nothing.

00:39:31.100 You get out of the city and the immediate suburbs, and there's nothing for hundreds of miles.

00:39:36.680 Uh, and you, you, it was like walking into my hometown of Mount Vernon, Washington in about

00:39:47.000 1970.

00:39:49.620 It was, there was no one, there wasn't a single restaurant, bar, airport, any place that I walked

00:39:57.920 into or around that had a television on, or if that television was on, there was no place

00:40:06.280 that had news on.

00:40:08.560 If it had a television and it was on, it was on sports.

00:40:14.780 And it's different.

00:40:18.040 You kind of, you notice the, uh, the air is cleaner, the, uh, the tension is down, and

00:40:30.800 we are all focused right now on the things that we're not, that which you gaze upon, you

00:40:37.400 become.

00:40:38.300 We are gazing upon the news and what politicians are setting for us every day, and we think that's

00:40:46.440 who we are, but that's not who we are.

00:40:50.540 There is nothing unique, truly, um, that is, oh man, I hate saying this because I really

00:41:00.760 liked Australia.

00:41:02.580 Um, but there was nothing unique that would make me go, oh, you've got to fly to the other

00:41:07.420 side of the planet to see this place.

00:41:09.680 Oh, you know, seriously, you've got to get to the other side of the planet, uh, because

00:41:14.800 why?

00:41:16.440 Why?

00:41:17.200 The opera house, which is really cool, by the way, cooler than any of the pictures,

00:41:22.620 but not worth turning your body clock upside down to see.

00:41:27.180 So what are we doing?

00:41:30.840 We live in the greatest country in the world.

00:41:34.220 We have, the land here is unbelievable.

00:41:37.620 The, the wealth of nature is unbelievable here.

00:41:41.380 The people are good and kind.

00:41:43.900 We're diverse.

00:41:45.120 What the hell is wrong with us?

00:41:48.160 Stop listening to the lies.

00:41:50.980 This just, it's not who we are.

00:41:53.900 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:42:02.000 Well, hello, America.

00:42:04.220 It's been a while since we've had a chance to chat.

00:42:06.720 And some things have been building up mainly about guns and these white supremacists that

00:42:14.560 are everywhere.

00:42:15.400 And these red flag laws.

00:42:18.080 Oh, we've got to do that.

00:42:20.400 It's common sense.

00:42:21.840 You know, actually it's not.

00:42:24.780 And I'd like to talk to you about some common sense things in one minute.

00:42:30.260 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:42:35.440 We are in the thick of summer.

00:42:37.200 Uh, it was just, I just got back from Australia.

00:42:39.760 Wow.

00:42:40.920 Wow.

00:42:41.320 There's one trip not worth taking just because it's not worth the body clock damage.

00:42:47.140 I just, I, my son and I went and we were like, what time is it?

00:42:51.780 It's only noon.

00:42:53.640 Shut up.

00:42:55.360 But the opera house is very nice.

00:42:58.060 Uh, the people are very nice, but anyway, it's winter there.

00:43:01.480 Uh, and I just posted some, uh, just posted a video, uh, on Facebook of kangaroos in the

00:43:08.380 snow in, uh, Australia today.

00:43:11.860 Did I get to see that?

00:43:13.360 No, no.

00:43:14.940 Did I get to see a kangaroo?

00:43:16.180 Yeah.

00:43:16.380 I went to a zoo.

00:43:17.000 I can see a kangaroo in the zoo here.

00:43:20.060 I don't need to go to the other side of the planet to see a kangaroo in a zoo.

00:43:24.000 I want them by the highway.

00:43:25.580 I want them at the breakfast table.

00:43:27.500 I want to see a kangaroo and a koala in real life.

00:43:32.040 I did see one dead on the side of the highway, which made me very sad, but at least I saw

00:43:37.720 one.

00:43:38.160 Anyway, we're in the thick of summer here.

00:43:41.200 And that means the days are getting longer and things are starting to heat up here in

00:43:45.460 Texas.

00:43:45.780 It's about what?

00:43:47.160 1500 degrees.

00:43:49.660 They say steel doesn't melt.

00:43:51.680 I believe in Texas.

00:43:53.400 We're going to put that to the test.

00:43:56.000 It is so fricking hot here.

00:44:00.060 Blinds.

00:44:01.200 Really, really a good idea.

00:44:04.300 Uh, that happens in the winter and in the summer, which we seem to get just the extremes

00:44:09.920 of both.

00:44:10.780 Do I sound bitter?

00:44:12.140 No, it's just that I didn't see a kangaroo.

00:44:15.600 Anyway, if you're looking to update the look of your house, you're looking to save money,

00:44:52.660 Well, I was interested, interested to see, uh, that, um, the Republicans have not changed.

00:45:15.460 You know, when I went to Australia and I'll be posting this critical scientific information

00:45:22.000 later, my son and I, we took a video of the water draining into the drain and we didn't

00:45:31.780 use the toilet because you know, the toilet can actually force water of one way or the

00:45:35.560 other.

00:45:35.840 So that's not real scientific.

00:45:37.460 You got to put it in a drain, a still sink.

00:45:40.040 And does it go the other way around?

00:45:42.460 I don't know because neither of us could remember which way it went when, you know, we were on

00:45:47.120 this side of the planet.

00:45:48.060 So we have no idea, but there are some things that are true and Republicans selling out every

00:45:57.760 principle that is enshrined in the constitution, in the bill of rights that never changes.

00:46:04.040 They'll do it every time.

00:46:06.480 Congratulations, Republican party for when you really need to take a stand, when you can use

00:46:13.320 facts, don't use facts, don't do it, run for cover, run for those popularity points, screw

00:46:22.140 God-given rights.

00:46:24.020 This red flag idea.

00:46:25.680 Oh, this is brilliant.

00:46:27.500 By the way, I don't know if you know this, but there isn't a single thing you have to have

00:46:31.360 checked in your background.

00:46:32.480 If you go buy a gun, you could be a two-year-old child and buy a fully automatic 50 caliber weapon

00:46:40.400 today.

00:46:41.620 No background checks are needed unless that's exactly untrue, unless that's exactly the

00:46:49.240 opposite of what actually happens in America.

00:46:52.320 But don't let that bother you if you're a Republican.

00:46:54.900 No, no, no.

00:46:55.360 Take the bait.

00:46:56.420 Go with the red flag laws.

00:47:00.240 So, you know, if you voted for the Republicans, this is the beginning of the end of the

00:47:06.040 Second Amendment, the red flag laws are the worst thing that could happen.

00:47:11.900 First, it's family members who say someone needs to take their guns away without due process.

00:47:18.100 Well, isn't due process the thing that, you know, we were all around, we're all about?

00:47:23.120 Isn't that, isn't due process the thing that separates us from those countries that just

00:47:29.580 kick down doors in the middle of the night?

00:47:32.420 So, legal gun owners can have somebody say, you know, let me tell you something.

00:47:42.260 Let's say you have family members in, oh, I don't know, Portland.

00:47:48.160 Are you even talking to your neighbors in Portland or your family members in Portland?

00:47:53.580 Are they even talking to you now?

00:47:55.160 They have Trump derangement syndrome so deeply, they hate the fact that you even own guns in

00:48:02.860 the first place.

00:48:06.040 They hate the fact that you have them.

00:48:08.440 They hate the fact that you don't think like them.

00:48:11.660 You are one immigration argument away from them calling the feds and saying you shouldn't

00:48:16.500 be allowed to own guns and should have them taken away.

00:48:19.340 That's how, that's what we're really talking about.

00:48:26.700 And if they're keeping lists of who they think are dangerous and you have a justice Democrat

00:48:32.300 in the White House, guess who's going to be on that list?

00:48:35.760 Oh, I don't know.

00:48:37.060 All of us.

00:48:39.400 Oh, and the best part is once you have some cat lady, you know, shirt tail relative who drops

00:48:45.280 a dime because they hate that you support Donald Trump, guess who's never going to be able

00:48:50.520 to buy a gun again?

00:48:53.020 Question six on the new background check asks if there's ever been a determination by a court,

00:48:58.320 board, commission, or other lawful authority say that you shouldn't have a gun.

00:49:05.160 You'll have to check that for the rest of your life because of the cat lady.

00:49:09.460 Because someone didn't like the way you voted because someone who you're now divorced from

00:49:16.740 somebody in the other family that really is pissed off at you, somebody who just doesn't

00:49:23.840 like the fact that you went off on immigration at Thanksgiving dinner can now call and you will

00:49:29.980 never be able to have a gun again.

00:49:33.500 Thank you, GOP.

00:49:34.920 If you support the red flag laws and you're a member of the GOP, I can't think of a bigger

00:49:44.840 betrayal of the U.S. Constitution.

00:49:49.260 It will literally allow the same people who kick us off of Facebook and Twitter for our

00:49:55.220 beliefs, allow them to confiscate your guns.

00:49:59.820 That's what the GOP is considering.

00:50:04.920 The president, if he endorses this, will lose the election.

00:50:12.020 And not because people are not going to vote for him, but because people who actually believe

00:50:18.700 in the Constitution will say, I mean, I don't know.

00:50:22.720 I guess I'll vote for him because who am I going to vote for?

00:50:25.960 I'm going to vote for that person.

00:50:27.480 They're crazy.

00:50:28.580 But the passion will not be there.

00:50:31.880 And once the passion is gone, he loses the election.

00:50:36.680 If you just want to boil this down to politics, the worst thing the GOP can do is further this

00:50:45.200 kind of legislation.

00:50:46.280 And by the way, it is precisely because you believe that you have the right to deprive

00:50:54.380 me of my property against my will that the Second Amendment exists in the first place.

00:51:01.160 Because you think you have the right to tell me what to do.

00:51:09.120 That's the reason this was written in the first place.

00:51:15.160 The argument for banning and taking away guns is the perfect demonstration on why the government

00:51:22.240 is strictly prohibited in doing so.

00:51:30.840 It's also the reason you're supposed to never be able to do it.

00:51:35.640 If you believe you have the right to take away someone else's right, your argument has

00:51:42.280 no merit.

00:51:43.020 If you're arguing for it, you've made the entire case for the absolute need for the very

00:51:53.720 thing that you're railing against.

00:51:56.220 So why argue?

00:51:58.240 All you have to do is simply say, no, the Constitution prohibits this.

00:52:05.680 You don't get to you don't get to take away anybody's guns.

00:52:09.660 You don't get away.

00:52:10.380 Take away anybody's rights.

00:52:11.640 It's not up to you.

00:52:13.840 No human being has any inherent right to take away someone's right to defend themselves.

00:52:23.720 And what you're talking about is your right to initiate the use of force against another

00:52:29.660 human being to take away their right.

00:52:33.540 No matter what social problem you believe you're solving, what equation you're trying to balance,

00:52:38.700 if you're on the side of an argument that must necessarily initiate the use of violence against

00:52:45.020 another person or group for its success, you've come up short in your philosophical evaluation.

00:52:52.340 Because it relies on the immoral action for its execution.

00:52:59.800 Well, you you would rise up.

00:53:01.720 Yes, of course, I would rise up against you.

00:53:04.260 You're taking away someone's right.

00:53:05.920 Even if I didn't own guns, I would be against you.

00:53:10.580 Well, the law.

00:53:12.080 Well, OK, wait a minute.

00:53:13.480 Hang on.

00:53:13.840 Let's can we just talk about the law here for a second?

00:53:16.760 It doesn't matter what the law says when it comes down to right and wrong, at least in America.

00:53:26.760 Let's say let's say America, for some reason, the law decides that, you know.

00:53:33.140 A woman can be raped by her husband at any time.

00:53:39.880 She has no right to ever say no.

00:53:43.760 Well, if that's what they pass in Congress, if that's what the Supreme Court says is legal.

00:53:50.220 Do we just all go along with it?

00:53:52.820 Do we all just say, oh, OK.

00:53:57.900 Well, we'd never do that.

00:53:59.520 Really?

00:53:59.920 We'd never do that because I don't know if you know this in our history.

00:54:02.460 The Supreme Court said one group of people could enslave another group of people.

00:54:06.660 So it's not beyond us.

00:54:08.580 And if you're saying that it's white supremacy right now that is driving all of this madness.

00:54:14.880 Well, gee, then aren't we on the road back to slavery?

00:54:18.080 Because I've heard Joe Biden said, you know, they just want to throw you all back in chains.

00:54:22.600 That's a quote.

00:54:24.520 So aren't we on the road back to insanity?

00:54:27.780 Wouldn't the laws that we have, the Constitution that protects everyone's right to be free, wouldn't that become more important?

00:54:40.180 Because I don't know about you.

00:54:41.680 But just because just because the law says something doesn't mean that it's right.

00:54:51.500 I would stand against the law to enslave another person.

00:54:55.360 I would stand against the law that would say a wife has to submit to her husband at any time.

00:55:03.640 I would stand against those laws and I would stand against the law that that says a human being does not have a right to use everything in his power or her power to defend themselves.

00:55:16.700 Guns are guns or guns stop rape all the time in America.

00:55:24.540 Guns stop rape.

00:55:26.320 Women use a gun because they are physically.

00:55:32.400 Well, I dare not say this unless we want to talk about those new girls that are identifying as girls who are now on sporting teams who are crushing.

00:55:45.920 The girls in girls in girls sports because they identify as girls stop with this.

00:55:53.580 It's not science.

00:55:54.960 It's not real.

00:55:56.520 It doesn't make any sense.

00:55:59.960 Because women are built differently than men, men can overpower them.

00:56:06.200 That's why a lot of women carry guns.

00:56:09.600 And it's wise.

00:56:11.340 If you're a woman who is a target or in danger or you just don't feel safe, if you are a responsible gun owner and you know how to use it, look, if you don't know how to use it, it's most likely going to be turned against you.

00:56:25.840 But if you have confidence and you know what you're doing with that gun, believe me, nobody's going to be raping you.

00:56:34.240 You're going to take that right away from my daughter.

00:56:36.940 You're going to take that right away from somebody's wife, somebody else's daughter.

00:56:41.360 I don't think so.

00:56:42.160 And I don't care what the Supreme Court says.

00:56:45.840 I don't care what any executive order says.

00:56:47.980 I know what the first or the second amendment says.

00:56:52.460 And the first amendment gives me the right to defend it.

00:56:55.380 And the second amendment gives me the right to defend it even stronger.

00:57:00.960 That's why it's in the Constitution.

00:57:03.780 The Constitution was written and then everybody got together and said, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:57:09.480 There are going to be some dumbass politicians that are going to be coming down the line and they're going to try to change this and turn us all upside down.

00:57:17.240 And so the politicians at the time said, no, no, no, that's insane.

00:57:21.800 We're never going to do that.

00:57:23.160 Really?

00:57:23.680 Then why don't you write them down?

00:57:25.320 Here's 10 things that you need to write down.

00:57:28.800 And so they did.

00:57:30.460 Oh, the founding fathers, they could have never seen what was coming.

00:57:34.420 Really?

00:57:34.720 Because it seems like they saw this one coming.

00:57:36.720 That's why they wrote it down.

00:57:41.020 Screw your scourge to the sticking place to quote Shakespeare.

00:57:46.300 Now is the time.

00:57:49.040 You either believe in the second amendment and in the Constitution or you don't.

00:57:53.120 We know the GOP does not.

00:57:55.680 Send them the message and send the White House the message.

00:57:59.700 You do believe in the second amendment.

00:58:03.620 And you will remember those who either stood for the Constitution or failed to do so.

00:58:12.180 Back in a minute.

00:58:13.320 All right.

00:58:22.000 Let me talk to you a little bit about a VPN.

00:58:26.020 So if you're traveling anywhere outside of the United States and you don't have a VPN,

00:58:33.200 you will get a message that says, sorry, your Netflix account can't be accessed.

00:58:40.560 Why?

00:58:41.540 I'm an American.

00:58:43.080 I want to watch something on this 500 hour airplane ride.

00:58:48.500 But if you have a VPN, not a problem.

00:58:53.300 Unless Qantas doesn't believe in Wi-Fi on a 15 hour flight to hell.

00:59:02.460 But don't worry about that.

00:59:04.380 I don't know where that's coming from.

00:59:05.980 If you have a VPN, you can access your your Netflix or your Amazon or whatever.

00:59:12.240 More importantly, a VPN, a virtual private network disguises where you are.

00:59:18.360 It doesn't allow anybody, including Facebook or Google or anybody else, to actually track where you are and what you're doing, what you're looking at.

00:59:28.040 I don't want people gathering data on me.

00:59:30.160 I don't want it.

00:59:32.300 So do you have Norton VPN service, virtual private network from Norton?

00:59:39.440 Norton is a name that we have all come to trust with security right now for about three bucks.

00:59:44.660 You can get it three bucks a month for a year at Norton security at Norton dot com slash VPN.

00:59:52.640 Do it now.

00:59:53.920 Norton dot com slash VPN.

00:59:56.620 We break for 10 seconds station ID.

01:00:00.160 So what else did I miss while I was gone?

01:00:11.400 You know, the country going to hell, but it's been going to hell for quite a while.

01:00:15.900 Well, I think you missed some things on the whole gun issue.

01:00:18.100 I mean, you're missing you're missing maybe the most important points.

01:00:21.660 Oh, you really?

01:00:22.180 Yeah, like a close advisor to Mitch McConnell, Scott Jennings, said that he spoke with the leader this week and encouraged him to pursue a background check bill.

01:00:31.420 And, you know, you talked about the Constitution, people's got given rights.

01:00:34.840 But listen to this argument.

01:00:36.300 I think we've reached a tipping point.

01:00:38.120 The polling clearly supports that notion.

01:00:39.860 So if you have you take that into account, then how do you feel about it?

01:00:44.600 Because I think that's something you just completely ignored.

01:00:47.920 And he said, as long as the president is going to be for something, I think there will be momentum for it in the party, which is really shows leadership.

01:00:54.920 I think if you can just I always want to elect senators that will be leaders enough to be able to take the direction from the president, no matter which direction he goes in and follow it.

01:01:06.280 That's the sort of leadership I want out of my senators.

01:01:08.320 Really? Because I was looking for somebody who wanted to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

01:01:13.600 That's all I wanted.

01:01:16.220 Are you even speaking English?

01:01:18.120 No, I'm not.

01:01:18.960 I don't even understand.

01:01:20.120 No, I'm not.

01:01:20.640 It's fascinating because there is serious momentum.

01:01:24.020 I mean, we go back to, you know, Trump has signaled support for this sort of thing before.

01:01:30.520 And every time it's happened, his supporters, his people, people who love him, people who think he's doing a great job as president, rise up and say, Mr. President, we know this might not, you know, you might not be, you don't have the same background as us.

01:01:43.480 You might not be from Michigan.

01:01:44.640 You know, you might not be from rural Pennsylvania where guns are really important to us and the Second Amendment is really important to us.

01:01:50.220 I understand that.

01:01:51.040 But this is a big issue.

01:01:52.040 You can't cross this line.

01:01:52.980 And please don't cross this line.

01:01:54.720 We heard that from nonstop callers while you were gone.

01:01:57.000 We've seen it all over social media.

01:01:58.640 And he's going down this road.

01:02:00.700 Every other time this has happened, he has backed off because people in this audience, people in conservative circles, supporters of Donald Trump have told him, please don't do this.

01:02:11.440 If you don't let him know right now, they're going to go down this road and he will lose the election.

01:02:17.520 He'll lose the election, not because people won't vote for him.

01:02:20.660 He'll lose the election because he needs passion behind him.

01:02:25.040 He needs people to be passionate.

01:02:27.360 It is passion that will close any gap in the end.

01:02:32.340 It is passion.

01:02:33.360 And certainly the Trump campaign has been a story of passion, right?

01:02:36.300 Yes.

01:02:36.500 So, you know, maybe you don't have a big time Trump supporter.

01:02:39.840 They're not going to go vote for freaking some crazy Democrat, obviously.

01:02:42.560 But are they campaigning for him?

01:02:43.780 Are they donating?

01:02:44.820 Are they out there making phone calls in that last week?

01:02:47.960 Are they motivated to go out in the rain in November?

01:02:51.380 Exactly.

01:02:51.580 I mean, it's that kind of this is this is why Hillary Clinton lost.

01:02:56.020 It's not because they wanted to vote for Donald Trump is because they didn't really care about her.

01:03:01.840 Donald Trump must keep the passion.

01:03:04.440 And if he passes any gun bills, I'm telling you, he's not going to have the passion behind him.

01:03:10.200 It's going to hurt him in the election.

01:03:12.580 Please, Mr. President, do not do it.

01:03:15.620 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:03:23.520 So let me tell you about real estate agents.

01:03:25.480 I trust dot com real estate agents.

01:03:28.320 I trust these are people that are in your area that we have personally vetted for the best practices.

01:03:36.580 They have to be great agents.

01:03:39.000 They have to know your area.

01:03:41.880 I mean, really know your area.

01:03:43.640 They have to have experience in your area.

01:03:46.900 So when you are looking for an agent, you want somebody who can price your home at the right price, because if it's if it's overpriced or underpriced, you lose.

01:03:56.620 You need somebody who really knows that part of your town.

01:04:01.220 You need somebody who knows how to negotiate, who has been doing it for a very long time with great record of success.

01:04:08.080 Those are the kind of people that you're going to find at real estate agents.

01:04:11.580 I trust dot com.

01:04:12.580 And when it comes to finding a new house, you need people that understand you and can help and really listen to you and find the right neighborhood for you.

01:04:22.600 It's real estate agents.

01:04:23.760 I trust dot com.

01:04:26.540 I trust dot com.

01:04:28.240 Go there now and buy or sell your house.

01:04:31.840 Real estate agents.

01:04:32.660 I trust dot com.

01:04:34.440 Go to blaze TV dot com.

01:04:35.680 Use the code Glenn for 10 bucks off your subscription.

01:04:38.180 And tonight on Glenn TV, the return of Glenn.

01:04:42.960 Watch it.

01:04:43.640 OK, so I just want to talk to you a little bit about common sense, because I think we need a refresher course on it.

01:04:52.980 I saw a tweet from somebody named Jessica, Jessica Yaniv, a picture of, quote, her standing in front of a pool that said my period started.

01:05:06.840 So, yeah, I couldn't go in the pool, but it was so much fun.

01:05:10.960 Forgot my tampons in my other bag.

01:05:14.480 OK, if you're a female, you know, this is not a female because no female that I have ever heard ever at any time says, oh, I got my period.

01:05:22.820 It was so much fun.

01:05:23.880 Never have I ever heard that.

01:05:25.860 I don't think that's ever been spoken by any woman, even Eve, the very first woman.

01:05:31.980 She certainly didn't look down and go, I'm bleeding.

01:05:35.120 This is so much fun.

01:05:36.520 It's never been uttered by a woman.

01:05:39.000 This is not a woman.

01:05:42.180 Let's just be very clear.

01:05:45.880 You can't have a period because you don't have the ovaries and all the other junk that goes along with it.

01:05:57.000 Ovaries are a state of mind.

01:05:58.760 Yeah, no, they're not.

01:05:59.840 Yeah, no, no, they're not.

01:06:01.440 But here's the here's the other piece of common sense I'd like to share with you.

01:06:06.160 This is a people on the right would call her a radical feminist.

01:06:12.420 I want you to hear what she's proposing.

01:06:15.140 We need to kill all men.

01:06:17.560 I am sick of being a baby factory that produces more men.

01:06:23.300 Right.

01:06:23.840 That will just in the future subjugate me.

01:06:26.380 Right.

01:06:26.680 So the only answer to that is to kill male babies and just kill any man that you see, like any man, like any swinging.

01:06:38.340 Anybody just kill.

01:06:39.600 Because we want the species to go on.

01:06:45.780 Oh, we do.

01:06:46.280 But we want it only to go on with women in it.

01:06:49.240 So that's what we have to do.

01:06:52.600 That's the only way to keep the human race going.

01:06:54.780 OK, I'm I'm hoping this is a this is some sort of a spoof.

01:07:00.360 I'm I'm hoping I do.

01:07:02.380 I have confidence in that.

01:07:03.480 Nope.

01:07:04.160 Nope.

01:07:04.860 Nope.

01:07:05.640 Nope.

01:07:06.040 How many people could actually watch that and go?

01:07:08.240 Damn, right.

01:07:09.380 We want the species to go on.

01:07:11.320 We got to get rid of all the males.

01:07:12.960 Uh, no, really, you can't.

01:07:16.360 No.

01:07:17.640 See, now I want to tell you that I'm going to tell you something that's not going to be very popular, but what the hell?

01:07:24.200 Um.

01:07:26.980 This is a sickness.

01:07:29.280 This is a deep, deep sickness, and it is running through our society, and most of us have it in some form or another.

01:07:40.380 We have it, we have it because, um, at some point in our lives, we just think, oh, well, it doesn't really apply to me.

01:07:50.940 Common sense, the eternal truths, they don't apply to me.

01:07:56.340 I can live my life this way, and it's OK for me.

01:08:01.760 But you're denying science.

01:08:04.020 You're just you're denying history.

01:08:07.120 You're you're even denying that you're an animal.

01:08:10.380 You're denying the truth because what you want is what I want to be true.

01:08:19.180 But fundamental truths are still self-evident, no matter how much dirt you kick over them.

01:08:28.560 You just choose not to believe in them.

01:08:31.080 When crap happens, it's because gravity is because of some sort of eternal truth.

01:08:40.620 It isn't the fault of the principles.

01:08:42.980 It's the fault of each of us who choose to live a life of convenient and easy lives.

01:08:49.020 Yep.

01:08:49.320 I'm identifying as a female, so you have to call me a female.

01:08:52.660 Dude, you're not a chick.

01:08:54.320 Period.

01:08:56.460 Oh, that was a pun.

01:09:01.060 It isn't a coincidence that shootings are on the rise at the same time we are being taught not to trust each other.

01:09:10.360 It's not a coincidence that shootings are happening more and more at a time when we're blaming one another more and more and refusing to listen to the other side without without claiming at all that, you know, they're humans.

01:09:28.400 I should listen to them because they're a human and they have a right.

01:09:31.320 No, no, no, no.

01:09:32.960 Those who we disagree with, they're the problem.

01:09:35.300 They're to blame.

01:09:38.620 Or worse yet, they're not even people.

01:09:43.140 We're living in an us versus them culture right now.

01:09:46.580 And one way or another, each of us, each of us have played a role.

01:09:51.240 But because winning is all that matters anymore and vengeance now belongs to us and not to God, we'll only see more killings with guns, with knives, with acid, with Tupperware, whatever it is.

01:10:08.620 You'd take everything around.

01:10:10.040 We'll kill each other with fingers and fingernails.

01:10:14.580 It'll happen.

01:10:17.220 We'll kill each other with rocks.

01:10:18.940 Well, we should ban all rocks.

01:10:21.240 It's the poison that is flowing freely in our society right now.

01:10:31.940 It's the lack of faith.

01:10:34.080 It's two political parties that gain when we together lose.

01:10:40.200 It's never-ending war.

01:10:41.880 It's name-calling.

01:10:42.780 It's race-baiting.

01:10:43.740 It's lack of common values.

01:10:45.600 It's lack of principles.

01:10:46.900 It's a lack of even an agreed-upon story.

01:10:51.040 We are a country now without a story that unifies us.

01:10:55.880 We just left a country that everybody that went there, I could walk up to anybody who was from there and say,

01:11:06.900 oh, are you originally from Australia?

01:11:08.580 Yeah, three generations.

01:11:09.860 Really?

01:11:10.300 What crime did your parent do?

01:11:12.140 Your grandparent do?

01:11:13.140 What was their crime that was so hideous that they sent you to this godforsaken rock?

01:11:17.960 They're all walking around.

01:11:21.440 They're fine.

01:11:22.280 They're not killing each other.

01:11:23.620 Why?

01:11:24.620 Why?

01:11:25.320 Do they have problems?

01:11:26.700 Yeah.

01:11:27.300 Yeah, they have problems.

01:11:29.800 Do they have shootings?

01:11:31.280 Yeah.

01:11:31.620 Do they have stabbings?

01:11:32.600 Yeah.

01:11:33.740 Do they have people strangling each other?

01:11:35.220 Yep, they do.

01:11:36.140 Why?

01:11:36.700 Human.

01:11:37.060 Why is it that people who were all criminals can be happy with a godforsaken snake, poisonous jellyfish,

01:11:50.520 giant crocodiles, huge great white sharks just off of the shoreline, and spiders as big as your head?

01:12:01.380 How can those people be cool with where their great-grandparents were sent as a punishment?

01:12:09.260 How is that possible?

01:12:10.420 We can't.

01:12:11.680 I mean, because have you seen what they've done with the place?

01:12:13.580 Not much.

01:12:15.120 They haven't done much with it.

01:12:22.480 How come they can do it?

01:12:23.940 We can't.

01:12:25.080 Because they've agreed upon their story,

01:12:27.960 and they know that their story is written by them,

01:12:31.920 not by people long gone in the past.

01:12:35.600 They are the ones.

01:12:37.060 They control their story.

01:12:39.140 I control and I write my story.

01:12:41.840 It's a blank page.

01:12:43.120 Nobody's writing it in unless I allow them to write my story,

01:12:47.680 unless I allow someone else to tell me who I am,

01:12:50.760 what I believe, what I do, and what I did.

01:12:54.700 No, I write that story.

01:12:56.180 Get your hands off of that piece of paper.

01:12:59.000 That's my life.

01:13:01.340 Not yours, and certainly not the past.

01:13:04.300 Not my parents, not my grandparents.

01:13:06.280 Not my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparent.

01:13:09.340 Mine.

01:13:15.980 There's a poison.

01:13:17.240 Self-imposed ignorance.

01:13:25.140 Facebook.

01:13:26.820 Texting.

01:13:28.380 Twitter.

01:13:30.360 I mean, just think of this.

01:13:31.740 Facebook.

01:13:33.100 Google.

01:13:36.160 Phones.

01:13:37.220 Texting.

01:13:37.780 This is the largest lab experiment ever done on humankind.

01:13:43.840 Ever.

01:13:44.120 If this were done in a laboratory, we would all be up in arms saying,

01:13:50.240 wait a minute, you don't know the effects of what that's going to mean to those kids.

01:13:54.140 How could you possibly do it?

01:13:55.980 Well, look, they're gaining all of these benefits.

01:13:58.560 Who are you to play God and experiment on these people?

01:14:02.720 This is the greatest experiment ever done.

01:14:06.020 And when there's a shooting, nobody ever says, well, I don't know.

01:14:09.620 We're all lab rats right now.

01:14:11.460 I mean, could anything in social media have anything to do with anything?

01:14:16.540 We all seem to be really pissed off about stuff that we weren't pissed off about before.

01:14:24.560 Technology.

01:14:25.260 Both good and evil.

01:14:26.380 It's what you do with it.

01:14:27.720 Social media.

01:14:28.440 Both good and evil.

01:14:29.500 It's what you do with it.

01:14:30.460 And by the way, we're not doing a lot of great things with it right now.

01:14:33.160 I don't know if you've noticed the talk of banning guns is like a doctor saying to you,

01:14:39.880 you know, you're riddled with cancer.

01:14:41.400 Here's a bandaid.

01:14:45.400 May I suggest that we all stop looking for an easy cure.

01:14:52.620 And especially one that is proposed by the same people who said they could fix our health care,

01:14:58.700 make it cheaper and save us all $2,500 a year.

01:15:03.160 When the price has gone up 400% on their fix.

01:15:08.000 I don't know if I trust these guys to fix anything else.

01:15:12.100 That, by the way, is not to blame the Democrats.

01:15:15.060 Because the Republicans refuse to offer any real diagnosis, let alone a plan when it comes to health care or anything else.

01:15:23.660 But here's the point on that.

01:15:26.860 Can we stop demanding those kinds of answers from Washington?

01:15:32.400 No, I'm sorry.

01:15:33.340 We're not actually demanding it.

01:15:34.680 We're just demanding that they do something.

01:15:37.920 Do something.

01:15:39.380 May I be bold enough to suggest that maybe we are the ones that should do something?

01:15:47.660 And the first thing we should do is shut our fat mouth talking to the people in Washington.

01:15:52.860 They don't have an answer.

01:15:56.480 You know who does?

01:15:57.940 Our neighbors.

01:15:59.060 Our children.

01:16:00.260 Ourselves.

01:16:01.220 Maybe once in a while we should demand that we do something.

01:16:06.900 But unfortunately, that something or some things are not ever popular with us.

01:16:12.780 The thing that really is truly causing the hole inside of our society.

01:16:19.060 That's the problem.

01:16:20.180 There is something missing in each of us.

01:16:22.800 And because we don't want to take responsibility, we don't want to demand of ourselves, we'll demand it for everybody else.

01:16:33.260 We'll look at somebody else and go, look at the hole on that person, huh?

01:16:36.480 Boy, how come they can't see that?

01:16:40.980 We fill those holes with tech, with porn, with drugs, with booze, with anger, with self-righteousness.

01:16:48.440 Everybody's got a hole in them.

01:16:49.700 And everybody is filling it with something.

01:16:53.200 I might be filling it with booze or drugs, and you're filling it with anger and politics and self-righteousness.

01:16:59.280 Maybe it's flipped.

01:17:00.260 I don't know.

01:17:01.520 But we're all doing the same thing.

01:17:05.540 And if it's not that, it's a thousand other things that we're turning on.

01:17:09.480 We're turning to whatever it is will fill that hole and make us feel like there's a point.

01:17:19.700 Perhaps, perhaps we should just dust off those simple, true principles that we all found dull, outdated, lacking in vision or uplift, and apply them once again.

01:17:36.580 Perhaps it will be as easy as just remembering that if you are suffering from something, if there is something that is really bad in your life,

01:17:49.540 maybe just the simple act of remembering that there is someone that will cross paths with you that is perhaps suffering more than you and concentrating on their suffering will actually lead to a decrease of your suffering.

01:18:08.020 But I'll tell you this, if we fail to return to common wisdom, time-honored truths, the truths that we found self-evident so long ago, the shootings, the bombings, the Nazis, the white supremacists, the black supremacists, Antifa,

01:18:27.020 all of this is going to continue to grow until the few that are left at that time will recognize the truth.

01:18:38.040 That the more things change, the more they stay the same.

01:18:46.300 That love, compassion, and truth are the only things that set us free.

01:18:51.580 You can claim you're having your period at the pool all you want, but that will not set you free because that is not the truth.

01:19:02.600 Back in a minute.

01:19:08.040 U.S. credit card debt has hit a 25-year high.

01:19:17.060 We're now paying higher interest rates on credit card balances than we have in more than 25 years.

01:19:24.420 The Fed rate cut, no guarantee that you're going to receive much, if any, relief.

01:19:31.180 So what do you do if you're battling the credit card debt?

01:19:33.800 Well, if you're a homeowner, may I strongly suggest American Financing.

01:19:39.400 In 10 minutes, you can learn how your home equity can help you get out of debt faster.

01:19:44.960 You could be looking at $1,000 or more in monthly savings, and you might even qualify for a mortgage, a lower mortgage rate.

01:19:51.920 So now is the time to get into your new home because interest rates are still extremely low, making new mortgage payments affordable, and in many cases, making them less than a rent payment.

01:20:04.320 American Financing.

01:20:05.400 They have you covered coast to coast with salary-based mortgage consultants who work for you and not the bank.

01:20:11.680 That's American Financing.

01:20:13.740 That's why they're the only mortgage company I've ever endorsed.

01:20:16.760 I trust that they're looking out for my best interests when I use them and your best interests when you use them.

01:20:22.960 American Financing.

01:20:24.140 Call them now at 800-906-2440.

01:20:46.980 Well, I don't know about you, but I'm still just struggling to get my arms around Epstein's death.

01:20:54.420 It came as such a shock, such a shock that that guy might end up dead in prison.

01:21:01.020 Can we at least have a moment of silence, though, to mourn his loss?

01:21:04.440 Okay, we're done.

01:21:04.920 That was good.

01:21:06.400 I felt it was a passionate moment of silence.

01:21:09.340 The entire audience was there with us.

01:21:11.120 I did, too.

01:21:11.800 And really sad he's gone.

01:21:14.500 What an incredible addition to the humankind.

01:21:17.680 Yeah.

01:21:18.320 Yeah.

01:21:18.660 Missing him and Jeffrey Dahmer as well.

01:21:21.700 Oh, yeah.

01:21:22.180 Miss him.

01:21:22.780 I'm glad you brought that up.

01:21:24.920 Another guy who I'm sure committed suicide.

01:21:26.720 Oh, sure.

01:21:28.640 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:21:34.920 So shocked, shocked on Saturday morning to find out that Jeffrey Epstein died.

01:21:45.960 Here's what I was shocked about.

01:21:49.840 That officials were shocked.

01:21:52.660 That it was a suicide.

01:21:55.200 That's what shocked me.

01:21:56.700 It's a suicide?

01:21:58.160 Really?

01:21:58.580 I thought the guy would be shivved from a million different angles.

01:22:02.620 I thought he would be shivved.

01:22:03.840 Really?

01:22:04.480 A suicide?

01:22:06.200 Hmm.

01:22:07.180 We'll get into that.

01:22:08.680 Also, the red flags.

01:22:11.100 I want to thank the Republicans for standing so firm like jellyfish with the Constitution of the United States.

01:22:19.780 Peace and perspective in one minute.

01:22:24.600 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:22:29.580 So have you seen gold prices?

01:22:31.380 They're on a bull run sparked by lower interest rates and monetary policy easing that analysts deem, you know, ideal for gold.

01:22:42.720 Why?

01:22:43.100 Oh, I don't know.

01:22:44.960 You decide to print more and give more money away and make things easier.

01:22:49.320 I don't know.

01:22:49.860 It usually leads to big trouble.

01:22:53.820 I want you to call and and talk to Goldline about what they have as a real cure for the cancer of inflation and hyperinflation.

01:23:05.100 And that is gold.

01:23:06.820 Call them and ask them about their legal tender bars.

01:23:09.660 Several years ago, I wanted something that I could I could have and my children could have that they could actually carry around that could be used as verifiable money.

01:23:19.400 And when things broke down in New York City for 9-11, cash really wasn't the thing.

01:23:27.000 I mean, people were saying, here, take my watch, my Rolex watch.

01:23:31.360 Take me.

01:23:31.900 It was bidding, you know, for the for the highest price just to get off the island and you needed to have something of real value.

01:23:41.760 And so I asked Goldline, could you make like a legal tender bar?

01:23:44.280 Can you make something that's not a full ounce, but something that is marked so you know that it's, you know, really gold, et cetera, et cetera.

01:23:52.140 And they went to went to Canada and they had the mint make these legal tender bars.

01:23:59.640 They are.

01:24:01.840 Just they're unbelievable and you can carry them and there.

01:24:04.920 I think they're 10th of an ounce and you can carry them, but they also have them in silver.

01:24:09.740 It's kind of a mind your business, you know, but that was there.

01:24:14.880 They're marked now with MYB, mind your business.

01:24:20.520 That's Benjamin Franklin.

01:24:21.920 That's what he put on the original coin.

01:24:24.120 Just mind your business.

01:24:25.740 It didn't mean like, hey, shut up.

01:24:27.480 It meant like just take care of business.

01:24:29.700 Do what you're supposed to do.

01:24:31.580 And I can't think of anything better than owning gold or silver as minding your business.

01:24:37.220 There's a limited numbers of these MTB silver bars you need to call to get the the exclusive mind your business bars.

01:24:45.320 You can get the gold or the silver, but these they're a very limited number of these.

01:24:50.520 Goldline is the only precious metal company that I trust for myself and my family.

01:24:54.780 Call Goldline today and see how easy it is to buy gold or silver at 866.

01:25:00.240 That's 866 Goldline or Goldline dot com.

01:25:03.220 Read their important information, but call them right now.

01:25:06.460 866 Goldline or Goldline dot com.

01:25:18.000 So I just got back from Australia on Saturday and I was there for a reuniting of family that you saved, that this audience saved.

01:25:31.220 What's going on right now in the world and no one's really talking about it is really what it must have been like after World War Two, where so many families were separated and they were spread out in so many different countries and families didn't know if people were alive or not.

01:25:48.260 That's what happened.

01:25:49.260 That's what happened to the Yazidi and Christian community.

01:25:52.640 And we have we have relocated thousands of people, many of them to Australia.

01:26:00.760 And the Yazidi community that we have relocated is in a small town called Toowoomba, which I would move to in a heartbeat.

01:26:11.800 Uh, it was a small little town that was like walking into, I don't know, my hometown of Mount Vernon, Washington, which I think was about 30,000 people.

01:26:23.380 This is about 100,000 people and there's nothing else around it.

01:26:27.360 Um, and, uh, it's, it still has the downtown, uh, you know, thriving.

01:26:34.300 It has the biggest mall I've ever seen.

01:26:35.980 It's incredible.

01:26:36.380 It's right downtown and it's this gigantic mall.

01:26:41.280 I'm thinking to myself, there's only a hundred thousand people and I think they all work in the mall.

01:26:46.120 Uh, I don't know how much per capita everybody needs to spend at that mall, but, um, uh, but it also has the downtown and it's, and it's just this really nice little town.

01:26:59.720 Uh, and, uh, I went there a couple of days early to meet with, uh, about a hundred of, of the families that are having problems getting their other family members either found or reunited with them because they're in different countries.

01:27:17.640 There's some of them are in Germany.

01:27:19.020 Some of them are in, you know, Sweden or France, uh, and, and some of them are still in Iraq and they can't get them out.

01:27:26.800 One of them was this, this woman who was one of the slaves.

01:27:30.660 And for some reason, the paperwork is just keeps getting, you know, fouled up.

01:27:35.440 And so we're trying to unite them.

01:27:37.360 And, and I think this is the way it was after world war two where families were trying to put themselves back together and they didn't even know who was alive and who was dead.

01:27:51.400 Um, but at that time countries were working together.

01:27:55.000 Countries aren't working together right now.

01:27:58.060 Uh, and so you'll have people in other countries and they won't, won't be able to cut the red tape, uh, and reunite.

01:28:06.560 And we reunited, um, this woman named Guli, who was a slave of ISIS, uh, for about two years.

01:28:15.480 Everybody in her family was killed except for her and her two daughters.

01:28:19.760 And, uh, uh, she was taken away and they were tortured just horribly.

01:28:25.960 Uh, and then the two daughters, because there were 12, I think 12 and 13, uh, were taken, uh, and they were separated and they were sold off as slaves, sex slaves over and over and over again.

01:28:39.400 And it, it, it, it, their story is just remarkable, um, how this, this one 12 year old girl managed to survive and escape, uh, for a year.

01:28:53.880 She was, she hid in a house, uh, like Anne Frank.

01:28:58.900 I mean, she, they had a little place behind the, the cupboards that she would go and she would live.

01:29:04.980 She was 12 years old.

01:29:07.320 What she went through is remarkable.

01:29:09.900 Um, but we reunited her with her mom.

01:29:15.740 They both thought she was dead.

01:29:17.220 And I have to tell you, uh, if you hadn't seen your daughter since she was 12 and you thought she was dead and then she was found out to be alive and you were reuniting.

01:29:36.980 What would be the, what would be the one thing on that day you would want to do when the day you're reunited?

01:29:46.680 What would be the one thing that you would want to do?

01:29:50.720 I just want to be with her all day.

01:29:52.540 Okay.

01:29:53.000 And I wouldn't want anybody around her mom.

01:29:56.420 We found out the day that she was reunited.

01:29:58.740 I'm standing at the airport and I'm waiting with her and she is just so sweet.

01:30:03.360 She's so great.

01:30:04.100 And, um, she says through interpreters, uh, she says, you have to come, you have to come to our house today.

01:30:13.480 After this is all over, you have to come.

01:30:15.800 And I said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:30:18.020 It was be with your daughter.

01:30:18.900 And she was like, no, you, you have to come.

01:30:22.820 And one of the interpreters said, uh, this is tradition.

01:30:25.260 You really want to go.

01:30:26.300 And, um, she made a meal for us.

01:30:31.440 It took her two days to make all this food.

01:30:35.220 And when you think of you ziti food, you must, if you're like me, you're thinking yum, right?

01:30:40.520 I have no idea what you ziti food is.

01:30:43.820 She worked and worked and worked.

01:30:45.320 And it was luckily really good.

01:30:46.760 Cause I told my son, when we went in, I said, we've got to eat it.

01:30:49.500 No matter what it is.

01:30:50.500 If it's spiders, we've got to eat.

01:30:52.060 Even if it's the Indiana Jones thing where they cut open a snake.

01:30:55.160 Yeah.

01:30:55.720 We got to go for it.

01:30:57.200 Uh, and it was really good.

01:30:59.140 She refused to let us go until we, until she fed us.

01:31:05.380 She, she, like for two hours, we were like, really, really your daughter.

01:31:09.840 And she's like, we're fine.

01:31:10.900 We're fine.

01:31:11.460 We're fine.

01:31:11.960 You cannot leave.

01:31:12.980 And the men were telling us, this is like big customs.

01:31:17.860 You don't break this.

01:31:20.320 And they were so sweet and so kind and so nice.

01:31:23.640 And the neighbors, we met the neighbors from Australia and they were kind and nice.

01:31:28.440 At one point, because we reunited now think of this in America, because we reunited,

01:31:34.940 there were all these people, all these Yazidis that were all coming to this little teeny house

01:31:40.080 on this street corner, real close to town.

01:31:42.780 Okay.

01:31:43.220 It's like right in downtown.

01:31:45.140 It's across the street from the mall.

01:31:46.680 And, um, this is a little teeny house and all these Yazidi men were there.

01:31:50.820 And then all of us, these white guys were coming.

01:31:56.140 The police stop the car and they get out and they approach us and they say, what's going on?

01:32:04.940 Now I'm thinking immediately, oh, they think that maybe there's a bunch of, you know, Arab looking people

01:32:12.960 that don't speak English.

01:32:14.380 What's going on?

01:32:15.420 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:32:17.200 They stopped because they knew that there were immigrants there and they knew the family

01:32:23.460 and they didn't know the whole situation or anything.

01:32:25.860 And then they saw a bunch of white people going in and they thought, are they in trouble?

01:32:30.140 Are they, are these anybody causing trouble?

01:32:32.040 Meaning that you guys, you were profiled.

01:32:34.540 You were racially profiled.

01:32:36.280 We were profiled.

01:32:37.880 We were profiled.

01:32:38.760 And I got there and I was concerned about how is this community, such a small community,

01:32:44.020 going to be able to adapt to, you know, these people who don't speak English.

01:32:48.960 Well, I'll tell you how, when we went to meet with them in this old church, really poor, poor church.

01:32:57.100 We go in and we sit down with them and we're talking.

01:33:00.340 The, about half of them came in and they were like, hello, Mr. Beck.

01:33:06.560 Hello, how are you?

01:33:08.320 They were speaking English and they were proud to show that they were speaking English.

01:33:12.700 We had to have this meeting like at six o'clock at night, which was, you know, like 3 a.m. to me and begging all day.

01:33:22.420 Can't we do this earlier in the day?

01:33:25.700 No, because every single one of them have mandatory school for English that they must attend.

01:33:35.540 They must learn English and Australian customs.

01:33:41.000 And if they don't pass, they get to take it again.

01:33:44.720 It's a year.

01:33:45.560 They can take it again.

01:33:46.940 If they don't pass, they go home.

01:33:50.380 You must speak English if you're coming into Australia.

01:33:55.140 And why?

01:33:56.200 As the Australians told me, because they would be slaves of someone else if they didn't understand the language here.

01:34:06.600 I laughed and they said, what's so funny?

01:34:09.700 And I said, nothing.

01:34:10.920 It's just the common sense still works here.

01:34:13.220 That's humorous to me.

01:34:14.940 We would never even consider that here.

01:34:17.960 You racist Aussies.

01:34:20.920 They didn't laugh.

01:34:21.900 They didn't get that joke.

01:34:22.700 But I wonder why it's it's we're going to show you the video of it.

01:34:29.800 I did a Facebook post last week live from the airport and there's there was nothing like it.

01:34:38.540 And you need to know that what you're doing is historic.

01:34:45.460 What this audience has done with the Nazarene Fund is remarkable.

01:34:51.380 And there is I left there.

01:34:54.840 And I said to my son, if we do nothing else in our life, nothing else in our life.

01:35:02.880 Our life was worth living because of this moment.

01:35:06.940 I wish you could have come with me.

01:35:09.080 And I wish I could take you on the thousands of stories that we are compiling every day because you donated to the Nazarene Fund because you cared.

01:35:22.280 One guy stood up in this meeting.

01:35:25.900 He didn't speak any English and he must have been about 65 years old.

01:35:29.500 And he kept looking at me and I kept smiling at him.

01:35:32.640 I could just feel his heart.

01:35:35.200 And he kept smiling back at me.

01:35:38.320 And finally, he he looked at me like, can I talk to you?

01:35:41.820 So I went around the corner and somebody else who was a friend of his was interpreting.

01:35:49.400 He couldn't speak any English except hello.

01:35:52.180 And he said he started to cry and he said, I lost my brothers.

01:35:57.140 I lost my children.

01:36:00.960 I lost my wife.

01:36:02.360 I have no one left.

01:36:04.060 It's just me.

01:36:05.340 And he's crying.

01:36:06.600 And he's saying, please, please make me a promise that you will go back to America and tell people that this isn't over.

01:36:16.980 Please tell them this isn't over.

01:36:19.620 I have nothing to gain.

01:36:21.160 I don't want anything.

01:36:22.380 I have no one in my family left.

01:36:25.140 Please.

01:36:25.700 My people are being wiped out.

01:36:28.920 Please let them know it's not over.

01:36:40.300 All right.

01:36:41.020 So I love to, you know, I, I actually, you know, started to miss the things that I always took for granted.

01:36:52.440 You know, there's one thing if I could, people always say, if you go back,

01:36:55.600 I can do one thing all over again, what would you do?

01:36:59.360 I would probably take care of myself more.

01:37:02.140 I would, I wouldn't have, I wouldn't abuse my body as much as I did.

01:37:06.380 Uh, I need relief factor now.

01:37:10.140 And, uh, thank God for it.

01:37:12.340 It is a way to relieve inflammation to where, uh, you can actually live and you can actually work through the pain.

01:37:20.960 Um, I, you know, for me, at least it doesn't get rid of all my pain, but boy, it makes it easy for me to live.

01:37:27.200 Most days I have great days and it's all because of relief factor.

01:37:30.860 You take it three times a day, 70% of the people who take it, it works for, and they continue to take it day after day, week after week.

01:37:38.300 As I do relief factor, just try it.

01:37:41.160 It's $20 for the three week, quick start.

01:37:43.500 You just try it.

01:37:44.740 See if it works.

01:37:45.620 If it does, you get your life back.

01:37:48.520 If it doesn't, you're out 20 bucks, but isn't it worth trying to find out if you're in that 70% that it does work?

01:37:55.080 Cause it works for me relief factor, go to relief factor.com relief factor.com or call 800-500-8384, 800-500-8384 relief factor.com.

01:38:07.940 We break for 10 seconds.

01:38:09.480 Station ID.

01:38:20.620 So can I ask you a question about this whole Australia thing?

01:38:23.520 Yes.

01:38:23.860 You went and you had this situation where you've, you know, this audience rescued someone who was thought to be dead, who's going to reunite with the mother in the family.

01:38:34.720 You told the family, Hey, we're going to bring her here.

01:38:36.760 You're going to have this big reuniting thing.

01:38:38.600 You were able to put it on Facebook, which is questioning though, the way you did it.

01:38:44.360 You didn't seem to utilize any of your skill as a broadcaster to increase the drama of this moment.

01:38:53.860 For example, you told them in advance.

01:38:56.180 Yes.

01:38:56.600 Like, did you consider at all maybe like delivering a large cake and then she jumps out?

01:39:01.760 I thought about saying, Hey, we have news about your daughter.

01:39:05.460 Bum, bum, bum.

01:39:06.220 Yes.

01:39:06.720 Like long pause.

01:39:07.680 She is bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.

01:39:12.780 Not dead.

01:39:14.320 You know, I thought about doing that.

01:39:15.760 Right.

01:39:16.080 And then they have like, they have this big reaction.

01:39:17.760 Yeah.

01:39:18.040 And you're like, you know what?

01:39:18.880 I want to tell you the story.

01:39:19.840 Let's sit down.

01:39:20.860 I can't have a quick meal.

01:39:21.720 Wait.

01:39:22.380 Yeah.

01:39:22.600 And then she in disguise is the waitress.

01:39:26.480 Right.

01:39:26.920 Comes over, serves the whole day.

01:39:28.360 And I just want to tell you one thing.

01:39:30.340 Look at the waitress right now.

01:39:31.620 And then she takes off a mask and it's her.

01:39:33.260 Yeah.

01:39:33.740 And we have all the cameras there.

01:39:35.420 We capture it.

01:39:36.300 And we don't tell anybody about it now.

01:39:38.040 We wait until it airs.

01:39:38.880 And you know, this is true.

01:39:40.500 Can I tell you how much?

01:39:41.460 Because there were documentary filmmakers that were there that are making this documentary

01:39:45.740 of this story and all the stories of OUR and the Nazarene Fund.

01:39:51.360 And I kept saying to them all day, all day, this is so intrusive.

01:39:57.560 Do you want the cameras in your face if you're being reunited?

01:40:00.420 Right.

01:40:00.540 Of course.

01:40:00.960 I mean, I was like, please, let's let's just go away.

01:40:03.760 Let's just leave these people.

01:40:05.160 Right.

01:40:05.620 You know, and that's why I did not.

01:40:07.680 I kept I really did not want to go have lunch with the family because I'm like, you're come

01:40:13.320 on.

01:40:14.360 We're first of all, we have to sit on the floor.

01:40:16.320 I'm an American.

01:40:17.240 I can't sit on the floor.

01:40:18.560 I said that to I said that to her mom at one point.

01:40:21.260 She gets she's like older than I am.

01:40:23.220 And she's just getting up and getting, you know, going up and down.

01:40:26.180 She's not sitting on a chair.

01:40:27.100 We're sitting on a floor eating.

01:40:28.940 And and, you know, she's getting up and down.

01:40:31.780 I have to get up once.

01:40:32.900 And I'm like, OK, I think my legs are locked.

01:40:35.160 I don't think I can.

01:40:36.060 And I looked at her and I said, I can't I could I could never be a you city.

01:40:41.380 And she kind of looked at me funny.

01:40:42.520 And I said, look at me.

01:40:44.400 I can't get up from this position.

01:40:47.060 I'm clearly an American.

01:40:49.020 Everybody laugh.

01:40:50.740 But it was it was hard because it felt intrusive.

01:40:53.940 Yeah.

01:40:54.400 You know, you know, it doesn't feel intrusive.

01:40:55.980 What?

01:40:56.340 You set up.

01:40:56.840 You say, look, we're going to fix you're going to fix your house up.

01:40:59.580 We're going to do repairs on it.

01:41:00.940 You walk them back.

01:41:02.020 There's a bus in front of the house.

01:41:03.940 Then you say, hey, everybody, move that bus.

01:41:06.180 They pull the bus away.

01:41:07.200 Same crappy house.

01:41:08.100 But the daughter in front of it.

01:41:09.840 That's a promotion.

01:41:11.400 That's how you draw some attention.

01:41:12.580 That's how we do it.

01:41:13.180 Yes.

01:41:13.660 Can you imagine?

01:41:14.900 Now, it would be really bad if they were disappointed.

01:41:16.700 Oh, we thought we were getting improvements to the house instead of our daughter.

01:41:19.180 Right.

01:41:19.560 I mean, that would be a bad.

01:41:21.680 But that one, you just don't air that episode.

01:41:23.180 Right.

01:41:23.440 Or you edit around it very carefully.

01:41:26.060 Why not?

01:41:26.460 So I'm a little disappointed in you as an American, as a broadcaster, as a capitalist.

01:41:30.300 You know what also I failed to do is get any of the anger or the outrage.

01:41:36.680 That's true.

01:41:37.580 You didn't get any of that either because they didn't have any.

01:41:41.060 It was the weirdest thing.

01:41:43.200 That is weird.

01:41:43.600 It was the weirdest thing.

01:41:45.660 Ghoulie, the mother, was telling me what happened to her in captivity.

01:41:48.700 And she's telling me this story that would just melt your eyes.

01:41:52.460 Everybody else, we'd be in an institution.

01:41:54.600 And in between, she's like, more chicken?

01:41:58.140 And, you know, I said to her, how do you deal with this?

01:42:03.820 She's like, it's life.

01:42:05.360 That's what you deal with.

01:42:07.100 No, no.

01:42:08.040 No, that's not life.

01:42:09.500 But over there, it is.

01:42:11.740 It is.

01:42:13.180 And we had a serious discussion on they take it, they deal with it, and then they put it away.

01:42:21.540 We deal with it, and we make it our story of our life.

01:42:27.020 It's just one story in their life.

01:42:30.480 And I think that's much more healthy.

01:42:33.560 Because I don't think any American would have dealt with it the way this family was dealing with it.

01:42:39.500 I mean, it was really amazing what they went through and how healthy they actually seemed, at least, to be.

01:42:46.420 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:42:54.120 American Financing Corporation, NMLS 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

01:43:01.320 You know what's great?

01:43:02.160 Home mortgage rates have fallen to a three-year low.

01:43:05.100 So homeowners shopping for an average-price home, if you were shopping last year,

01:43:10.360 You can get about $45,000 more than last fall with the same payment terms.

01:43:16.900 Low interest rates and slowing home price increases mean home affordability.

01:43:21.600 And this is the climate in which to buy a new home.

01:43:25.120 It's also a great time to sell or downsize if you're nearing retirement.

01:43:28.700 Very strong demand for family homes, and it's vital to get your housing needs addressed now before you retire.

01:43:34.420 So take advantage of these rates and lock in a fixed rate.

01:43:37.660 Make the 10-minute phone call to American Financing and get pre-qualified and ready to make an offer when you find your dream or your forever home.

01:43:47.340 You'll work with a salary-based mortgage consultant that works for you and not the bank.

01:43:51.860 From coast to coast, they have you covered at American Financing, 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net, 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net.

01:44:03.880 The Glenn Beck Program on TV, now with infinity percent more Glenn Beck.

01:44:09.520 Yes.

01:44:09.940 You can watch it tonight, the return of Glenn.

01:44:11.940 Tonight.

01:44:12.400 Yeah, blazetv.com.

01:44:13.680 Don't miss it.

01:44:14.020 Use the promo code GLENN.

01:44:14.880 Jason Buttrell, who is our chief investigative researcher on the program, joins us now to talk a little bit about the research that we've been involved in in the last few weeks on the squad.

01:44:33.660 And tonight we go through some of the things that we think that Americans should be aware of and be following.

01:44:42.840 Welcome, Jason.

01:44:43.720 Thank you.

01:44:44.180 Yeah, and it all kind of came out around the same time, which was really weird, around those same two weeks while you were out.

01:44:50.540 And I was just like, oh my gosh, you can see my desk.

01:44:52.360 It's like snowed over right now.

01:44:53.740 Well, I know, and I didn't do much to help ease that.

01:44:57.020 Because when I was out, I talked to federal and a couple of state officials as well regarding Ilhan Omar and others.

01:45:07.400 And our investigation has taken a very deep and dramatic turn that we will discuss possibly in future episodes.

01:45:19.900 If this stuff, which everyone seems to believe at this time, is true, it's a hair-raising development.

01:45:32.460 A hair-raising development.

01:45:33.800 But we don't know if we can prove it, and we want to be very, very careful.

01:45:40.780 But there are some things that are happening now that don't make any sense.

01:45:46.640 For instance, I don't give this—I don't give—remember when I said Keith Ellison is involved?

01:45:52.980 Yeah.

01:45:53.940 What was it, a week later?

01:45:55.200 We find out that Keith Ellison's former money guy is now the boyfriend of Ilhan Omar.

01:46:01.400 I don't think that's—I don't think that counts as, you know, what I was talking about.

01:46:06.320 But it is a strange connection.

01:46:08.840 Very strange.

01:46:09.700 There.

01:46:10.040 And there—I think that's what a lot of people will focus on, which we don't care about that.

01:46:14.460 Like, that is not the story, but I think that's what—even the outlet that broke it, the Daily Mail,

01:46:19.360 where they showed that they were, you know, at a restaurant in California together and another witness.

01:46:23.600 I don't care about any of that.

01:46:25.200 That is not the story.

01:46:26.260 That's a smokescreen.

01:46:27.540 What's going on is, who is this guy?

01:46:29.480 What is he involved with?

01:46:30.640 He's—he—you know, Ellison and Omar are interesting.

01:46:33.460 It's such a weird, tangled web between the two of them.

01:46:36.100 They have so much in common.

01:46:37.340 Not good things, but they have so much in common.

01:46:39.700 For instance, they've both been caught cheating the IRS.

01:46:42.940 They've both been caught with campaign finance violations.

01:46:46.180 In the same district, in Minnesota, they both represent the same district.

01:46:51.560 And they—

01:46:51.880 It's interesting that he leaves, she takes his place, and he becomes the attorney general, which

01:46:58.160 could be used as a protector of sorts.

01:47:01.160 Right.

01:47:01.820 Well, and that was—the state attorney general was the one that was going after Keith Ellison.

01:47:06.020 I don't know if you remember back in the day.

01:47:07.160 He was the one that was accusing Ellison of all this.

01:47:10.340 So now she's kind of in the same boat, but there's nothing coming from the state.

01:47:15.040 Right, because he's the attorney general.

01:47:16.920 Right.

01:47:17.800 But this guy that she was caught with, they both have a connection between the three of them.

01:47:24.060 And we looked at the—I've about gone blind on FEC records.

01:47:28.180 That's probably the worst thing that you can ever do in your life is go through some of those things.

01:47:31.040 But the more I did it, the more weird this is getting.

01:47:36.660 Now, she has been caught with paying this one guy over a quarter of a million dollars over the past year.

01:47:44.940 Now, I don't know anything about how congressmen and women spend their money.

01:47:49.240 So I was like, is this strange?

01:47:50.960 I was looking at it multiple—I think in February alone, she paid this guy around $40,000 to $50,000

01:47:57.540 in one month, but in separate checks, not one—

01:48:01.060 Separate payments.

01:48:01.480 Yeah, like separate checks of $10,000.

01:48:03.620 Yeah.

01:48:03.860 One day, it was two separate checks of $12,000.

01:48:08.680 Two separate checks on one day.

01:48:10.720 I'm like, what is going on?

01:48:11.660 So I just—I looked through some other freshman congressmen, because maybe freshman congressmen do this.

01:48:16.440 Maybe they spend a lot of money.

01:48:17.460 I don't know.

01:48:18.360 Right?

01:48:19.060 So I went over and we looked at another—you'll go through this tonight.

01:48:22.840 Let me just say, there's something weird going on.

01:48:25.720 This is not normal behavior.

01:48:27.680 Something very, very weird.

01:48:29.020 And if you put something on there where they—and all these filings, they have to put a description,

01:48:33.540 like this is travel expenses, or hey, I went to the Capitol Grill.

01:48:36.500 This one she was putting at mostly, if it wasn't listed as travel expenses, as fundraising consulting.

01:48:44.340 That's not vague at all.

01:48:45.840 But that is—on one of the records that we checked, on another congressperson, we checked it,

01:48:50.820 and there is fundraising consulting.

01:48:52.640 That's something that—I guess that's a common one.

01:48:54.060 But maybe one time every four or five months, and for a couple hundred dollars, not $12,000,

01:49:03.480 $15,000, $16,000.

01:49:06.100 That's how large—

01:49:06.480 All in one march.

01:49:07.820 Yeah.

01:49:08.580 Multiple times in a month.

01:49:09.940 And I don't think she's missed a month of not paying this guy.

01:49:13.440 This is very, very strange.

01:49:14.660 The other thing that happened in the last two weeks since I've gone is the guy who I think

01:49:19.380 should be the most famous—I mean, he's done much more than Karl Rove ever did,

01:49:26.240 much more than any of these big gurus that we have seen in the past.

01:49:31.180 James Carville, the guy who orchestrated the squad's win, the guy who became the chief of staff

01:49:41.080 for AOC, has just walked away and decided to do something else, which is really bizarre.

01:49:50.620 No one really even knows who this guy is, and he is the key to that Justice Democrat stuff.

01:49:58.960 Yeah, election night, if you haven't—nobody listening probably heard this, but Cenk—

01:50:04.360 How do you say his last name, Sue?

01:50:05.760 Wigar?

01:50:06.040 Wigar.

01:50:06.860 Cenk Wigar of Young Turks.

01:50:08.500 He had this crazy blowup on the camera and said,

01:50:12.240 we are going to infiltrate.

01:50:13.760 We are going to take over the Democrat Party.

01:50:15.620 Yeah.

01:50:17.500 Okay, you can say, okay, it's Cenk.

01:50:19.260 You're like, what can he do?

01:50:20.180 But if someone says they're going to do that, you should take them at their word.

01:50:22.480 They're going to try something.

01:50:23.600 The Young Turks guy, right?

01:50:25.020 The Young Turks guy, yeah.

01:50:25.660 So, a few weeks after that, he links up with this Chakrabarty guy.

01:50:31.540 They co-found Justice Democrats.

01:50:34.260 He was a co-founding member, Cenk was.

01:50:36.700 And they set up Justice Democrats and a thing called Brand New Congress.

01:50:39.940 Those are the official political action committees, PACs.

01:50:43.160 But they also set up these two shell companies that we're going to go into later tonight.

01:50:48.460 They set up these two shell companies, and that's where this story starts getting odd.

01:50:52.220 Now, in our system, you can't just, you know, everything is traced through the FEC.

01:50:56.840 Like, that makes it so that, you know, she can't spend the money on an indoor swimming pool in her apartment or something like that.

01:51:02.500 Everything is tracked.

01:51:03.660 But if you go through a shell company, that money is ghosted.

01:51:07.260 You don't know where it went after that.

01:51:10.340 And that is what Saikot Chakrabarty is now at the very center of.

01:51:14.760 They've been called out on it.

01:51:15.820 The FEC has actually started an official investigation into this guy on what they were doing.

01:51:21.240 They're trying to figure out where the money went.

01:51:23.200 Now, there's, we've, several, I went several months back to see if there are any other allegations.

01:51:28.240 There are allegations of money going through one of these shell companies to a person that's very close to Ocasio-Cortez.

01:51:35.540 And you'll see that later tonight.

01:51:37.940 I find it fascinating.

01:51:39.000 I mean, here's a guy who, you know, orchestrated what is basically a takeover of one of the two major parties.

01:51:45.320 I mean, AOC is driving the agenda right now.

01:51:47.740 You think, you think about the, what, how difficult that is.

01:51:51.020 You, you took a bartender and had her basically running the party within two years.

01:51:55.840 This is your life's work.

01:51:57.360 You're, you're in the goal.

01:51:58.700 You've spent all of this time pushing forward.

01:52:01.200 You, you get this done somehow.

01:52:03.240 You're chief of staff.

01:52:04.640 And seven months later, you're, you're, I'm going to pull out and go to a nonprofit.

01:52:08.420 Yeah, I'm all set.

01:52:09.680 I mean, that was fun.

01:52:10.640 Good, good seven months there we got out of that thing.

01:52:12.460 I'm going to go and just, just go into a nonprofit and see how that, that, that world works.

01:52:15.860 That is a weird move.

01:52:18.000 That is a move that if, if you have really done what he has done and he's known as the architect of this.

01:52:24.280 Mary Matlin didn't do it.

01:52:25.260 James Carville didn't do it.

01:52:27.140 Carl Rove didn't do it.

01:52:30.100 Axelrod didn't do it.

01:52:31.240 None of these people have ever done it.

01:52:33.320 That's what they do.

01:52:35.680 And if you are at the top of your game just to leave at the height, just to leave and go to nonprofit, something's not right.

01:52:44.720 Something's not right.

01:52:45.440 Weird.

01:52:45.820 I mean, like maybe if he jumped to Elizabeth Warren's campaign, like you're, you're running Elizabeth Warren's campaign, maybe you'd understand it.

01:52:52.260 To leave and just go to some nonprofit so you can do some good from the outside.

01:52:55.860 Seven months in of this, you've taken America by storm.

01:52:59.780 You've turned one of the two parties into a socialist party overnight.

01:53:04.280 And strangely, no one knows your name.

01:53:07.940 Strangely, no one knows your name.

01:53:10.220 It's, it's, it's one of two things.

01:53:11.580 I think either they want to get him away so they can get him under the radar so people aren't talking about him anymore so he can continue to do what he's doing.

01:53:18.700 Or.

01:53:18.980 That's the best case scenario.

01:53:19.760 That's the best.

01:53:20.180 Or they're just going to dump it all on him and say, look, it wasn't us.

01:53:25.080 It was that guy, you know, and he's the bad guy.

01:53:27.360 It's, it's one of the two.

01:53:28.740 I don't think so.

01:53:30.560 I don't.

01:53:31.200 I think the first one, absolutely.

01:53:33.920 But I, I don't know.

01:53:37.300 I mean, I'm not sure that they're going to dump it all on him.

01:53:41.580 He is.

01:53:42.580 Unless it's coming from Pelosi.

01:53:44.860 Unless it's coming from the Democrats.

01:53:47.680 Then that's a possibility.

01:53:49.120 She just had a meeting where they didn't really talk about what went on.

01:53:52.820 But she had a surprise meeting and they took a picture of it.

01:53:55.620 It was like last week between the two.

01:53:57.580 I don't, this is possibly could have been what it was about.

01:53:59.960 This is serious.

01:54:00.820 Like these allegations are serious.

01:54:02.260 This is basically exactly what they got Paul Manafort for.

01:54:04.660 It's just different.

01:54:05.240 But like it's creating shell companies.

01:54:07.760 So he was doing it to avoid tax, you know, tax evasion, all that stuff.

01:54:10.360 And to hide what he was doing.

01:54:11.260 Same exact thing that he created shell companies to, to ghost money and hide what they were spending

01:54:16.700 it on.

01:54:17.240 And it'd be interesting to see with, with the group that for where all of that money went.

01:54:24.340 Did all that money go to them?

01:54:26.540 Just usual corruption or was that money going someplace else?

01:54:32.220 Uh, that is not in the best interest of the United States of America tonight.

01:54:37.080 We will, uh, continue this and really fill you in with all of the facts, uh, as we move

01:54:43.820 forward on looking at the squad tonight.

01:54:47.900 All right.

01:54:48.920 Uh, car shield, car shield is just going to save you a buttload of worry and a buttload of

01:54:55.740 money.

01:54:56.460 If you have ever really had a, uh, a problem with your car where your check engine light

01:55:03.140 goes off and you're not covered, you know what that feels like.

01:55:06.520 You never forget what that feels like.

01:55:08.540 It feels awful.

01:55:09.540 If you have car shield and something goes wrong with your car and it's one of the covered

01:55:14.320 repairs, it's all taken care of.

01:55:16.280 You don't have to worry about it.

01:55:17.940 Your car breaks down on the side of the road.

01:55:19.640 You have the car service.

01:55:20.980 You have, uh, you have a car while yours is in the shop.

01:55:24.760 They provide you with a rental car.

01:55:26.640 The covered repairs are super easy.

01:55:29.260 You can have your favorite mechanic or the dealership, uh, fix it and you don't have to

01:55:34.240 wait for the check.

01:55:35.220 So in other words, you don't have to front the money.

01:55:36.940 They take care of it.

01:55:38.880 It's car shield.

01:55:40.100 Save yourself a, just a, uh, just a bunch of worry.

01:55:44.200 Don't, don't worry about it and don't put the money out.

01:55:47.920 Let them do it.

01:55:49.720 Car shield.

01:55:50.680 Get car shield for your car.

01:55:52.300 Now 800 car 6,000 800 car 6,000 or car shield.com.

01:56:01.120 Wow.

01:56:01.800 This is a, this amazing.

01:56:03.720 Elizabeth Warren really does have a plan for everything.

01:56:08.080 Uh, she has come out now and, uh, says that she's going to cut violent gun deaths by four

01:56:14.720 fifths.

01:56:16.000 Now, I don't know what a nonviolent gun death is all about.

01:56:19.880 Maybe that's suicide seems violent to me, but cut violent gun deaths by four fifths.

01:56:27.360 So she says she's got a comprehensive new plan to reduce those gun deaths.

01:56:32.560 That again, that's 80%.

01:56:34.680 She's going to do it.

01:56:36.740 Uh, and she's going to do it with taxes.

01:56:40.460 Now, who would have known that taxes could stop violent gun deaths?

01:56:45.460 I didn't.

01:56:46.260 I didn't know that either.

01:56:47.420 Someone who wants to murder.

01:56:48.360 Someone's going to be like, I don't know, 20% more for these bullets.

01:56:50.900 I think I don't know if I'm going to be able to do that.

01:56:53.180 So she's proposing a universal background check, which we have, uh, federal gun licensing,

01:57:00.280 which we don't have for good reason.

01:57:03.840 Uh, one week waiting period on all gun purchases to limit impulsive violence happens all the time.

01:57:12.220 A ban on assault weapons, which don't exist, and a newly tried and it didn't work a newly empowered Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and explosives.

01:57:25.360 They've added explosives now.

01:57:27.180 So the AT, uh, the ATF E, uh, is going to have new empowered, uh, uh, things they can do, which are, I don't even know what they are, but I bet they're great.

01:57:40.820 Uh, so she says we're faced with a complex and entrenched public health crisis made worse by the ongoing inability of corrupt government to do anything about it.

01:57:52.820 So it's easy to despair.

01:57:54.540 So our government is corrupt.

01:57:56.080 So what she'd like to do is expand the government.

01:57:58.800 Oh, yeah.

01:57:59.020 Make the power bigger because I believe the statement is, uh, absolute power makes you much less corrupt.

01:58:05.180 Absolutely.

01:58:05.900 Absolute.

01:58:06.520 Absolute happiness.

01:58:07.620 Absolute happiness.

01:58:08.460 So it's also strange that she says we're faced with a complex and entrenched public health crisis.

01:58:14.560 I don't know if that has anything to do with the health crisis, you know, like Obamacare was supposed to fix that only made it worse.

01:58:22.700 Hmm.

01:58:23.480 But, uh.

01:58:24.420 I'm excited that the left is finally admitting that taxing something actually will discourage it.

01:58:30.700 Because they're saying, well, we can tax it and then people won't want to buy as many bullets or guns.

01:58:36.800 Mm-hmm.

01:58:36.980 So finally, they're admitting the central thesis of all conservatism.

01:58:41.620 When you put taxes on something, you get less of it.

01:58:45.300 Right.

01:58:45.580 Like, for example, economic activity.

01:58:48.240 When you raise taxes, you know, like income taxes, you're discouraging positive economic activity.

01:58:55.620 Huh.

01:58:56.240 Huh.

01:58:56.800 Oh, okay.

01:58:57.300 I'm sure that they'll figure that one out.

01:58:58.800 So she says guns are taxed at 10% while other gun and ammunitions are taxed at 11%.

01:59:03.220 But she says that the gun tax needs to be 30% and the tax on ammunition, 50%.

01:59:10.280 I mean, all that is going to do is take money out of people who are legal gun owners' hands.

01:59:16.360 No one who's about to commit a mass murder, which ends in their own death, an hour later, is going to care about paying an extra 30% for the ammunition.

01:59:24.380 No, no, no.

01:59:24.740 It will do.

01:59:25.520 It will do more.

01:59:26.200 A lot of people, if you're paying 50% more for the ammunition, there is one thing that will happen.

01:59:30.700 You will go to the range less often.

01:59:34.580 Yes.

01:59:34.820 You will shoot less often, which will make you more dangerous with a gun instead of more safe with a gun.

01:59:43.200 Right.

01:59:43.420 But it will only affect people who aren't going to do mass shootings.

01:59:47.180 No person is going to be like, you know what?

01:59:49.020 I want to kill 100 people, but I'm only going to kill 80 because of that tax.

01:59:52.380 There's not one person who's ever been a mass shooter who would make a decision like that.

01:59:56.200 It's only taking money out of legal gun owners' hands.

01:59:59.320 That's all it is.

02:00:00.260 It's all it's designed to do.

02:00:01.640 And, of course, that's all it will accomplish.

02:00:03.620 But this is every one of their plans.

02:00:05.120 This is the beginning of how they're going to go after this.

02:00:08.100 They're going to go after it through money.

02:00:10.700 They'll go after it with insurance.

02:00:12.080 They will go after it with banks.

02:00:16.240 And they'll say, hey, banks can't do business with gun manufacturers or gun sellers or anything else.

02:00:24.100 So they'll cut their ability to actually do a legal transaction.

02:00:28.460 They will make it onerous on you to own a gun.

02:00:31.820 Insurance will be through the roof.

02:00:33.880 If you have a gun in the house, well, then you need extra insurance.

02:00:38.380 Insurance will go through the roof.

02:00:40.300 Taxes will go through the roof.

02:00:41.800 And they won't have to do anything to the Second Amendment.

02:00:45.040 And they'll call that common sense.

02:00:47.420 I call that theft of your rights.

02:00:49.080 And the reporting is that Trump has insisted he would be able to convince his most ardent supporters who favor gun rights that the moment for a change has arrived.

02:00:57.420 I don't think so.

02:00:58.480 If that's true, then I wouldn't say anything right now.

02:01:00.760 But if you want that to not be true, you better speak up right now.
