00:00:26.900 There's a few things going on today.

00:00:28.340 If you're just waking up after a long weekend,

00:00:31.700 well, we're still in labor, and we're getting really close to a baby.

00:00:36.220 I think I can see the crown of its head.

00:00:58.660 All right.

00:00:59.160 Stu is on a string of never-ending vacations, it seems.

00:01:04.000 So Pat is joining us again.

00:01:07.860 And wow, buckle up, because this one's a bumpy ride.

00:01:11.860 We have no room to compromise.

00:01:34.120 We're going to stay together, if we're going to survive.

00:01:43.680 Stay up straight, and hold the line.

00:01:50.500 It's a new day, a time to ride.

00:01:55.520 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:02:06.480 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:13.620 Hello, America.

00:02:15.220 Buckle up. 0.96

00:02:15.800 It's going to be a bumpy ride today.

00:02:17.560 The Dow is down in futures 1,285 points.

00:02:26.880 That's on 611 points from Friday.

00:02:30.440 And if you really dare to look and open this jar, Japan almost collapsed last night.

00:02:41.140 They closed, or this morning, they closed down 12.5%.

00:02:48.980 Biggest since, I think, 1989, which was the Black Monday on Wall Street.

00:02:56.140 But it could be a very sketchy day today, and there's war popping up all over the world.

00:03:04.480 Iran may go to war today with Israel.

00:03:10.140 They are expecting movement that sometime could happen during this live broadcast.

00:03:15.160 So we'll keep an eye out for you.

00:03:17.400 There is a lot of stuff going on.

00:03:19.840 You need to be prepared.

00:03:21.080 We will go there in 60 seconds.

00:03:24.080 By the way, Pat, don't let me forget, a possible civil war in England now.

00:03:30.880 Ooh.

00:03:31.940 Holy cow. 0.89

00:03:33.140 Jeez.

00:03:33.400 Let me tell you about the Berna launcher.

00:03:36.480 You know, we all want to be John Wayne sometimes and blow the bad guy away in the gunfight, you know?

00:03:43.180 And just, you know, blow him away, and he's really, really bad.

00:03:46.400 And so you shoot him, and he goes through the saloon window.

00:03:48.940 Wouldn't that be fun?

00:03:49.680 It doesn't happen that way.

00:03:51.420 It doesn't happen that way.

00:03:52.540 And it's not really fun.

00:03:54.420 If you shoot a gun at another person, you're most likely going to change your life for the next couple of years, and it may be longer.

00:04:05.100 And, of course, you may kill somebody.

00:04:09.180 If you're willing to do that in certain situations, fine, because I am.

00:04:15.060 If you're worried about the situations, and you're like, this isn't, I don't want to kill him, you don't shoot to wound.

00:04:23.160 You have a Berna launcher.

00:04:24.880 A Berna launcher is something that is less than lethal, but it will incapacitate an attacker or a bad guy for up to 40 minutes.

00:04:33.640 It's not pepper spray.

00:04:36.060 It's full-fledged tear gas.

00:04:39.320 Also, they have a high-capacity Mission 4 rifle with maximum projectile speed.

00:04:45.240 It's back in stock and ready to ship.

00:04:47.840 These guys are Second Amendment guys that build this.

00:04:50.520 They build it in Fort Wayne, Indiana, but they know also you have to have some options.

00:04:56.020 Please, my family has one.

00:04:57.480 Every member of my family has one.

00:04:59.160 B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.

00:05:02.120 That's Berna dot com slash Glenn.

00:05:08.700 So, we've got to get to the possible civil war in Great Britain.

00:05:14.120 That is, what's happening in Great Britain is coming here. 0.61

00:05:20.140 It is coming here.

00:05:22.500 What is happening in Great Britain right now is exactly what I laid out for you as the Bubba effect.

00:05:31.560 I'll get into that here in just a few minutes.

00:05:34.020 First, let me tell you about what is happening with the stock market.

00:05:39.620 Friday, we had a bad jobs report.

00:05:42.460 We're still not in a recession.

00:05:45.160 Indicators are showing that we're headed towards one.

00:05:48.580 But, you know, the indicators have been wrong before.

00:05:52.280 We are headed towards one.

00:05:54.080 We're headed for a depression at some point.

00:05:56.760 I just don't know when.

00:05:58.940 And we're headed for a massive global collapse.

00:06:03.960 Again, I just don't know when.

00:06:07.160 Nobody does.

00:06:08.080 That's why I ask you, please be prepared.

00:06:13.000 And please take my...

00:06:16.460 Look, I'm not an expert in anything.

00:06:20.620 Nothing.

00:06:21.280 I'm a former DJ that is a recovering alcoholic.

00:06:29.220 And I'm a self-educated man.

00:06:31.260 So, take everything that I say with a grain of salt.

00:06:34.580 I want you, I need you to do your own homework.

00:06:37.960 I hope, honestly, this hasn't happened yet.

00:06:40.320 But I honestly hope that you do your homework and you find out, wait a minute, Glenn, you're missing this.

00:06:46.960 And you show that I'm wrong.

00:06:49.120 Because I want to be wrong.

00:06:50.800 But it is coming.

00:06:53.720 And we are in the birth pangs of the future.

00:06:59.720 We are giving birth right now to the future.

00:07:02.340 The baby is coming out.

00:07:03.920 And I don't think we're going to like it.

00:07:07.420 I think it's going to be one of those babies that comes out and is like, hey, mom and dad.

00:07:13.100 You know, and guarded by Rottweilers. 0.98

00:07:17.140 But we're approaching something.

00:07:21.920 And our Dow is down almost 1,200 points in futures.

00:07:27.600 The reason why this is so important is because it's not alone.

00:07:34.000 Friday, bad jobs numbers, we were down 611 points.

00:07:38.900 That's a pretty big fall.

00:07:40.120 This morning, before we even open up, we're down almost 1,200 points.

00:07:45.500 You know, that's almost 2,000 points in two days.

00:07:49.820 But in Japan, stocks were wiped out.

00:07:54.060 This happened while you were asleep.

00:07:56.540 The Nikkei 225 is falling 12.5%.

00:08:01.600 That is the biggest single-day decline since Black Monday's collapse of 1989 or 1987, I think it was.

00:08:10.120 Also, if you read any financial news over the weekend, you saw that Warren Buffett is selling, like, everything.

00:08:20.540 He is having the biggest fire sale he's ever had.

00:08:25.340 He's never sold stocks, dumped stocks like he's dumping them right now.

00:08:29.920 That's what happened to Apple a couple of weeks ago.

00:08:33.120 He said, yeah, I don't really feel comfortable with Apple.

00:08:36.280 I'm going to sell.

00:08:37.040 But what we didn't know until he had to file is he's selling everything and holding on just to the creme de la creme.

00:08:48.020 What does Warren Buffett know that we don't know?

00:08:51.240 Nothing.

00:08:53.880 The difference between Warren Buffett and you and me is he trusts his gut, he trusts what he reads, and he doesn't wait for other people to verify.

00:09:09.800 His team verifies, and he trusts his team.

00:09:13.060 The words of my grandfather keep ringing in my head.

00:09:19.840 If we only knew what the rich people knew before the Great Depression, we would have been fine.

00:09:27.900 Well, what are the rich people doing?

00:09:29.620 Also, China found out this weekend they are buying, I think it was 50 tons of gold more than they said they did.

00:09:40.440 They said they stopped buying gold, but now some sleuths have gone out there and looked because something wasn't right,

00:09:47.800 and all this gold was being shipped over to China, and they realized, my gosh, China is still buying it.

00:09:55.400 They're telling people they're not to try to keep the price down.

00:10:00.760 So what are the rich people doing?

00:10:02.700 What are the people in the know doing?

00:10:08.320 The VIX, which is the volatility, something that's really important if you watch stocks,

00:10:15.840 but it's just important for you to know.

00:10:19.020 And this is off the top of my head.

00:10:21.760 In 2008, the VIX, the index of volatility, how volatile are things right now?

00:10:31.000 Was it, I think, 47 in 2008?

00:10:37.060 In COVID, it was like 56, and it's currently on a scale of 1 to 100, 65.

00:10:45.000 So that is an alarm bell that people watch and say, what's the weather forecast?

00:10:53.920 What's the VIX say?

00:10:55.140 Are we headed towards really choppy seas?

00:10:58.900 Yeah, more, according to the VIX, according to them, more than 2008 or COVID.

00:11:05.840 Intel just announced they're cutting 15,000 jobs or 15% of its workforce.

00:11:19.400 Now, let me go and switch topics to England.

00:11:26.060 What you're seeing in England is a look-see into the things that are to come here in America.

00:11:39.200 What's been happening in England?

00:11:42.720 Well, for a long time, this is why Brexit happened.

00:11:46.820 And by the way, I don't think you're going to hear this analysis with other people.

00:11:52.040 So, take it for what it's worth.

00:11:55.760 But as I read it, Brexit happened in a way we can relate to.

00:12:03.100 Brexit happened because people were tired of being told by bureaucrats that they never elected what they had to do.

00:12:11.520 How they were going to live their life.

00:12:13.620 And those same bureaucrats said, and you know what?

00:12:16.580 I mean, it's not that cool to be British. 0.99

00:12:18.720 I mean, you've got a really bad past, Great Britain, and so I wouldn't be so proud.

00:12:26.040 In fact, don't fly your flag.

00:12:28.220 You should fly the European flag.

00:12:31.860 Okay.

00:12:32.540 People didn't like that.

00:12:34.500 They want to have their own control.

00:12:39.860 Then, on top of that, you had wild, unfettered immigration. 0.92

00:12:45.840 Do either of these sound familiar to you?

00:12:50.920 So, they had wild, unfettered immigration. 1.00

00:12:54.920 At the same time, they built on top of a house of cards where they said they were taking Islamic terrorism seriously. 0.79

00:13:04.160 But then they opened the borders, and the police never took them seriously.

00:13:08.780 It was never taken seriously.

00:13:11.480 You could chop a guy's head off in the streets of England, and what would people say?

00:13:19.780 Well, your officials would say, we got it under control.

00:13:23.440 It was just a misunderstanding.

00:13:24.800 It didn't have anything to do with anything.

00:13:27.780 It is nothing to see here.

00:13:30.020 Go back to your homes. 0.97

00:13:31.760 Nothing to worry about.

00:13:33.120 Kids were being kidnapped by Islamic rings, and they were being sexually abused, and the police denied it, denied it, denied it. 0.84

00:13:45.520 Then, when it couldn't be denied anymore, they did a little bit, very little bit, but then everybody in the neighborhood that was standing up, they were deemed the bad guy.

00:13:57.520 Anyway, so this is the Bubba effect.

00:14:03.440 Three girls in a dance class, just cute, cute little girls in a dance class.

00:14:10.600 17-year-old kid comes in and stabs the three girls.

00:14:15.960 Now, he has a Somalian name, so everybody just assumed he was an immigrant.

00:14:23.820 He's not an immigrant. 1.00

00:14:25.600 Bubba effect. 0.99

00:14:27.520 Bubba effect. 0.99

00:14:29.760 Remember what that was?

00:14:31.720 I told you that in 2004, I was talking to special forces, and I said, what is the thing that you are most concerned about?

00:14:42.720 And they said, the Bubba effect.

00:14:44.340 What is that?

00:14:45.220 When the government has lost all of its credibility, and for instance, they say, we're serious about terror, and they're not.

00:14:55.960 And people keep pointing it out, and the government doesn't response, and then something bad happens, and Bubba, not really knowing anything about world religions or whatever, will walk into a convenience store, and he'll shoot a Sikh because he's got a turban, and he doesn't know.

00:15:16.520 He'll shoot a Sikh, and it's you people, and everybody will know that's wrong.

00:15:24.260 But when the federal government comes in, the people will stand up and say, hey, we'll deal with Bubba.

00:15:32.200 We know he was wrong.

00:15:33.580 But he was acting because you refuse to act.

00:15:39.380 You are the problem.

00:15:42.500 That's what's happened here.

00:15:45.000 They were wrong.

00:15:46.400 And then on top of that, you have inside and outside nefarious forces.

00:15:52.940 You have people who are white skinhead Nazis.

00:15:59.600 You have people who are Islamicists.

00:16:04.960 You have people who are just power hungry.

00:16:09.880 You have people who just want to see the world burn.

00:16:13.380 And they're all on social media.

00:16:17.060 And what is the government doing?

00:16:18.980 The government is blaming everything on the right and social media, which will only make things worse because the forgotten man is not a neo-Nazi.

00:16:32.760 The forgotten man is just the guy who loves his country, has gone to work every day, seems to be forgotten, seems to be left behind.

00:16:41.940 Nobody ever seems to talk about him unless it's to blame him for something that he had nothing to do with.

00:16:51.740 And, of course, everybody's lining up to quash freedom of speech.

00:16:58.500 They don't have it like we have it here in America.

00:17:02.220 They already have speech laws.

00:17:05.940 They're now talking about shutting everybody up.

00:17:09.540 That won't make things better.

00:17:14.060 It will make things worse.

00:17:18.080 A civil war in Great Britain?

00:17:22.640 In a few minutes, we'll tell you exactly what is also happening in Israel with Iran and how Russia is now helping an enemy of the United States.

00:17:33.560 We'll do that here in just a couple of minutes.

00:17:36.660 First, let me tell you about Rough Greens.

00:17:39.740 Tina wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Greens.

00:17:42.200 She says,

00:17:42.680 The first time I tried Rough Greens on Ollie's kibble, he turned his nose up at it.

00:17:48.260 I added some canned food and he ate everything up after that.

00:17:51.800 He'd eat it just on the kibble now.

00:17:54.040 No problem.

00:17:55.140 He's a lot more active.

00:17:56.880 Thank you from both me and Ollie.

00:17:59.460 Tina, thanks for writing in.

00:18:00.840 Love your story.

00:18:01.600 Love your dog's name, too.

00:18:03.000 Most dogs just tear into Rough Greens.

00:18:05.060 But sometimes you've got to get a little creative with it at first.

00:18:07.420 But once they get the flavor of Rough Greens, they gobble it up most times.

00:18:12.540 But that's why Rough Greens would like to send you the first trial bag for free.

00:18:17.560 Maybe your dog doesn't like it.

00:18:19.300 Most dogs do.

00:18:20.740 But once you start feeding your dog your food and then on top of it, everything that's good for him, they gobble it down.

00:18:30.800 And most importantly, you'll see a huge difference in your dog.

00:18:34.960 Go to Rough Greens, R-U-F-F-Greens.com slash Beck or call 833-GLEN-33, roughgreens.com slash Beck or 833-GLEN-33.

00:18:45.260 Ten seconds.

00:18:46.100 Station ID.

00:18:57.560 For anybody old enough to remember, I believe Stu has become Johnny Carson.

00:19:02.900 He's never working.

00:19:03.920 He seems to always be on vacation.

00:19:06.480 And always sitting in for him is Mr. Pat Gray, as usual.

00:19:09.920 Hello, Pat.

00:19:10.560 I guess somebody cares about the show, right?

00:19:13.100 Which is important.

00:19:13.940 Yeah.

00:19:14.340 It's really just you.

00:19:15.920 It's pretty much.

00:19:16.760 Just you and me.

00:19:17.300 Yeah.

00:19:17.620 You and me.

00:19:18.220 Yeah.

00:19:19.280 Thanks for coming in again.

00:19:21.240 Yeah.

00:19:21.560 I know this is double duty for you.

00:19:24.400 So, how are you feeling?

00:19:27.060 You just finished your show.

00:19:28.660 Mm-hmm.

00:19:29.740 Oh, I feel great.

00:19:31.200 I think things are going perfectly, don't you?

00:19:33.760 Yeah.

00:19:34.300 Oh, yeah.

00:19:34.800 Nothing to worry about.

00:19:35.960 Yeah.

00:19:36.100 Yeah.

00:19:36.320 Nothing to worry about.

00:19:37.400 I was in L.A. this weekend, unfortunately.

00:19:40.880 This is my first time in California in I don't know how many years.

00:19:43.080 Oh, man, I don't like it.

00:19:46.460 Anyway, I was in L.A. this weekend doing some business, and I didn't walk away with a good

00:19:54.980 feeling.

00:19:55.520 Now, it is California, but there are so many people that are just convinced that Kamala

00:20:04.060 solves the problem.

00:20:05.940 Yeah.

00:20:07.220 They won't even look at how radical she is. 0.99

00:20:14.620 If she becomes our president, we are in deep, deep socialist trouble.

00:20:21.580 You think the economy is bad now?

00:20:23.180 This is like putting Chavez or Maduro in.

00:20:25.900 Yeah.

00:20:26.200 She is as left as that.

00:20:29.040 Well, and everybody is, at least in California that I talk to, they're still just enamored

00:20:33.880 with anybody but Donald Trump.

00:20:35.700 And it's like, no, guys, voting for the enemy of the person and just blindly doing it is

00:20:43.280 a very bad job.

00:20:44.700 You must examine their record as well.

00:20:48.220 And people forget that in 2019, she was the most liberal, the most progressive senator in

00:20:55.520 the United States of America, beyond Bernie Sanders, beyond Elizabeth Warren.

00:21:02.060 And she's the worst possible choice for president. 1.00

00:21:07.080 Worst possible.

00:21:08.160 And the Democrats knew that.

00:21:10.880 Yeah.

00:21:10.940 I mean, that's why nobody voted for her. 0.99

00:21:13.320 Right.

00:21:13.780 Nobody voted for her.

00:21:14.580 And I'm growing more and more convinced this was a brilliant move by the Democrats, by the

00:21:20.400 radical left in the Democratic Party.

00:21:23.540 They got her to be vice president because there's no way America would ever vote for her so she 0.99

00:21:30.960 could become the vice president.

00:21:33.400 And at this point, because Donald Trump is so unpopular with the left, she's only a point

00:21:41.100 and a point and a half behind him.

00:21:43.060 Yeah.

00:21:43.640 And a lot of that's insanity.

00:21:44.880 She's actually leading in quite a few polls, you know, despite her radicalism.

00:21:50.120 This is a person for abortion on demand. 0.73

00:21:52.020 Because nobody's looking at it.

00:21:53.540 The border disaster that she's overseen.

00:21:56.280 She wants to ban fracking and offshore drilling. 0.83

00:21:59.440 She claims she doesn't want to ban fracking, but she was all about it just four years ago.

00:22:04.420 She wanted to abolish the filibuster. 1.00

00:22:06.520 She also is all for not only the filibuster, but the Supreme Court. 1.00

00:22:12.780 She's also for a guaranteed jobs program. 0.98

00:22:17.380 Right.

00:22:17.580 That's the Soviet Union. 0.62

00:22:19.160 So you can't get any more left than that.

00:22:21.600 It's it's really, really not good.

00:22:24.860 Nationalized health care.

00:22:26.160 She wants the government to take it over. 1.00

00:22:28.100 Now, she said recently, but in 2020 when she was running and this is who she is.

00:22:33.840 This is what she believes.

00:22:35.760 Right.

00:22:35.960 She's moderating because she has to now.

00:22:39.620 But this is what she believes.

00:22:41.500 Government needs a wholesale takeover of medicine.

00:24:04.220 Get it at glennbeck.com or wherever books are sold.

00:24:07.360 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:24:26.280 I have to tell you, I really wish I could put you in my headspace right now.

00:24:30.900 It's almost like there's a hedge of protection on my headspace right now because the news that is coming out is really, really dark and we're getting closer to something.

00:24:43.420 And I don't think we're going to like it.

00:24:46.040 The Dow is way down.

00:24:48.460 Japan was almost wiped out 12.5%.

00:24:51.280 They had to close the trading floor for a while in Japan.

00:24:54.760 And that is happening in Europe and now coming here.

00:24:58.940 We had bad job numbers, lots of layoffs, Intel laid off this morning, 15,000 jobs.

00:25:06.840 Looks like Chevron is moving to Texas from California.

00:25:11.780 They just can't take California anymore.

00:25:15.180 And there's riots on the streets of the UK.

00:25:22.020 And I want to get back into this story a little later on in the program.

00:25:25.300 But it is, it's rage bait that is going on.

00:25:30.540 And people are now saying, Elon Musk said this weekend that civil war is inevitable in the UK.

00:25:38.320 But we also have some news.

00:25:41.160 Today, it looks like Iran is planning on attacking Israel. 0.86

00:25:48.200 They announced this over the weekend.

00:25:49.760 Again, speculation was that it would happen sometime today.

00:25:53.440 Remember, it's late in the afternoon in the Middle East now on Monday.

00:26:00.780 And so, you know, usually if things happen, they happen by the time this show is over.

00:26:06.280 It's usually started.

00:26:07.640 So we're watching that closely.

00:26:10.240 Jason Buttrill is with us.

00:26:11.600 He is our chief researcher, also head of watching over all global affairs on the program when it comes to war.

00:26:20.020 He is a former military intelligence.

00:26:27.080 And is here to tell us exactly what we're expecting.

00:26:30.940 Let's start with Iran. 0.57

00:26:32.700 Jason.

00:26:33.460 Hey, Glenn.

00:26:34.140 How are you doing?

00:26:34.360 Glenn, I'm actually surprised it hasn't happened yet.

00:26:37.060 We were getting word that it was supposed to kick off sometime over the weekend.

00:26:41.080 I think the biggest takeaway here is that there is going to be a response.

00:26:45.980 Pretty much everyone expects it.

00:26:48.020 It sounds like the Israeli intelligence and military is expecting it very imminently.

00:26:53.440 There is a carrier battle group that's on its way from the U.S. to the region to support if anything should kick off.

00:27:05.160 We know something is going to kick off.

00:27:07.080 The question now is just how badly it's going to.

00:27:10.320 And this is only the beginning stages of this larger regional war.

00:27:16.300 And I'm going to go ahead and say that.

00:27:17.720 I do believe this is going to be a regional war with multiple people, countries involved.

00:27:24.780 And it's going to mirror the regional war that's already going on in Eastern Europe.

00:27:31.240 And that sounds kind of interesting, doesn't it, Glenn?

00:27:34.060 Regional wars breaking out everywhere.

00:27:36.300 And we're expected to respond to every single one of them.

00:27:40.760 How's that supposed to happen?

00:27:42.440 Okay.

00:27:42.960 So the Mediterranean is the sixth fleet, right?

00:27:46.180 That sounds correct.

00:27:47.520 I don't remember.

00:27:48.220 I think it's the sixth fleet.

00:27:49.860 You know, I'm sorry if I'm mistaken.

00:27:51.620 But what I want to know is, is this carrier group that's going out in addition to what we usually send in the sixth fleet that's always there?

00:28:00.880 Is this a replacement or is this an addition?

00:28:04.020 Because that's a huge addition.

00:28:05.560 I'm fairly positive, but I'm going to double check that this is in addition to what's already going out there.

00:28:10.200 It's pretty significant, isn't it?

00:28:12.280 Yeah, it's significant.

00:28:13.200 Old carrier battle group?

00:28:14.340 Yeah, and it's especially significant when you think about all the different theaters that we're guarding against right now.

00:28:21.620 And I've got to tell you, Glenn, looking at the state of the economy, looking at our adversaries, what they're trying to do with the economy, with organizations like BRICS, they're also the same people that are opposing us in Eastern Europe right now.

00:28:35.560 You've got, can I say it?

00:28:37.440 And Israel.

00:28:38.160 And Israel.

00:28:39.260 Can I say it?

00:28:40.200 Cascading protest movements that are going all the way through Europe and heading towards our own doorstep.

00:28:47.640 I mean, yeah, right?

00:28:49.560 Did I read that?

00:28:50.620 And then what happens after that?

00:28:51.940 Is that where it was?

00:28:52.760 Yeah, that's where I think I got it.

00:28:55.140 Yeah, sure.

00:28:55.520 And then after it cascades, it comes to the United States and all of our enemies look at the West and say, now, now, now.

00:29:02.920 And that's exactly what's happening.

00:29:04.460 If you look at what's happening in the Middle East with the Houthis, those are funded by Iran. 0.94

00:29:12.980 But now who's just been spotted on the ground and been announcing that they are providing military advice, at least, that's Russia.

00:29:30.320 Russia is now assisting the Houthis.

00:29:33.320 So this is becoming a global war.

00:29:36.420 Whether we like it or not, it will.

00:29:37.980 Yeah, when everyone that always analyzes this, they always say, oh, BRICS will never, you know, out, you know, dominate the dollar, you know, as the global reserve companies.

00:29:47.180 They'll never do it.

00:29:48.580 You know, they'll never challenge the United States one-on-one, blah, blah, blah.

00:29:51.880 You know, the United States is too powerful.

00:29:54.460 Agreed, one-on-one.

00:29:55.720 But that's not what's being built here.

00:29:57.980 I got to tell you, when I was looking at all this information all together and some, I kept thinking about, you know, the famous Paul Harvey monologue.

00:30:05.360 You know, if I were the devil, what would I do to make change?

00:30:08.960 And I'm not saying they're the devil.

00:30:10.460 But I am saying that look at everything together and connect all the dots.

00:30:15.600 Who were the players involved in every single theater?

00:30:20.160 Who were the ones?

00:30:21.220 Who were the ones sowing discord that is cascading all over the world?

00:30:24.980 Who were the ones?

00:30:26.260 Look at the places that haven't blown up yet but are on the cusp of it.

00:30:29.980 You look at Taiwan, you look at North Korea, that BRICS unit is involved in every single one of those.

00:30:35.900 You cannot destroy the United States or defeat her one-on-one.

00:30:38.720 We are too powerful.

00:30:39.900 But taken together with all the different countries that they are building, by the way, and ignite it all at the same time, what happens?

00:30:48.900 I don't know the answer to that because we've never been there, but we're going in that direction.

00:30:53.720 And the people that are running this country are driving us there in a Cadillac.

00:30:58.140 I will tell you what happens if it's World War II.

00:31:04.060 America wins because World War II America was united.

00:31:10.700 And we all came together to fight against evil.

00:31:14.940 That will not happen this time.

00:31:18.260 We are too divided.

00:31:19.760 And the government has made so many mistakes.

00:31:25.340 I'm really very concerned about England because England is the Bubba effect.

00:31:32.200 We don't even know the facts, and that's another problem.

00:31:36.320 But we don't even know the facts of what really happened that started all of this stuff.

00:31:41.700 They haven't figured out this kid from last week.

00:31:45.460 They still don't know, well, is he Muslim?

00:31:47.740 Is he not Muslim? 0.61

00:31:48.780 You know, how is he raised?

00:31:50.520 We don't know any of that.

00:31:52.720 But people are all assuming that this was a Muslim immigrant.

00:31:58.840 It wasn't.

00:31:59.940 He was born in England.

00:32:01.480 He's English.

00:32:03.040 But the facts don't matter anymore because it appears as though the government is lying to the people in Great Britain.

00:32:12.500 And so they've had enough.

00:32:13.860 And then you have outside forces, dare I say it, like Russia, again, and the influence of those we have spoken about many times on this program

00:32:28.600 that want the West to collapse and are sowing this really demonic seed in not only England and France and all of Europe, but here in America as well.

00:32:41.340 Unless we get transparency, we're in trouble.

00:32:50.100 Unless somebody stands up and says, you know what, I'm going to open up all the books on this.

00:32:53.800 I mean, the arguments that I'm hearing now that Kamala is just so great when this whole thing has been undemocratic from the beginning

00:33:09.920 and nobody's really looking at her record and everybody is saying, you know, well, Donald Trump, he's a bad guy.

00:33:18.400 Where?

00:33:19.180 On what?

00:33:20.600 On what?

00:33:22.240 I said to somebody this weekend, you know, this has been the, this is the one time that you can look at a politician, and I think they're all dirty,

00:33:32.820 but I, I lived in New York City, Pat, you remember this, we used to drive by the Trump, um, apartments and, and hotels on the East side highway.

00:33:43.280 And he was building like five of them and including, you know, digging under the highway.

00:33:50.220 And he built five in the same time the city took to build one small building right across the street from them.

00:33:58.780 And I would have said to you six years ago, eight years ago, the guy is dirty as hell.

00:34:05.220 He's got to be, because you can't, how is it he can get the unions to do everything he wants them to do?

00:34:11.480 How is it he can build five buildings to every one that everybody else builds?

00:34:16.920 Well, I don't know, but he's the most investigated man, I believe, in human history.

00:34:24.160 And they've never found anything like that.

00:34:26.280 And nobody will listen, nobody will listen to that.

00:34:30.380 Nobody will listen and say, you know, they've just been trained Trump bad.

00:34:36.320 And, and if you're comparing, you know, uh, anyone to Hitler, I mean, Charles Manson could look good.

00:34:45.540 Well, he only killed a few.

00:34:47.140 Yeah, and he's got the Nazi, you know, the, the swastika carved in his forehead, but he's not telling everybody to hang banners on off of every building, you know, hello.

00:34:57.700 So they give you the worst possible look at somebody and somebody who actually loves America and, and, and, and here we stand with everything in open flame.

00:35:15.400 Jason, what are you expecting to happen, uh, today, either in England or do you agree with Elon Musk that he says civil war is inevitable in England?

00:35:27.400 Well, I mean, you got to think that, I mean, what's happening in England, I feel like could be copied in multiple different Western countries because the behavior is exactly the same.

00:35:38.860 You, you talk about the, the non-transparency.

00:35:41.740 Let's just look at that for just a second and how that fuels this.

00:35:44.380 If you look on any major mainstream outlet, um, over in Europe or here, all you see is the same headline, far right protests or rioters, you know, truth is, you know, missing based off of misinformation, you know, like misinformation, disinformation, or malinformation from social media.

00:36:03.280 Right.

00:36:03.460 And then they won't even talk about the, you know, the person that did this attack.

00:36:07.160 They'll say, oh, but it's not an immigrant.

00:36:08.780 Well, we know his parents are from Rwanda.

00:36:11.200 Well, we know that.

00:36:12.260 What were they illegal?

00:36:13.480 Do they talk about that at all?

00:36:15.120 Because I guarantee you that the people that are out protesting in the street, the point is exactly the same.

00:36:20.820 Like, this is a crisis of the government's creation.

00:36:24.060 But I think you are, I think you are giving too much credit to, look, they can be completely wrong.

00:36:31.120 These people were from Rwanda.

00:36:33.760 Maybe they came there legally and they've been great citizens and their kid is a great citizen.

00:36:38.920 Listen, it has nothing to do with them or the kid.

00:36:44.060 This is, this is the frustration of the English people saying, my government is not listening to us.

00:36:51.560 Yeah.

00:36:51.820 That's the Bubba effect.

00:36:53.120 We know he's wrong on that.

00:36:56.340 We know.

00:36:57.700 But that's not the issue.

00:36:59.160 The issue is, you've been lying to us for too long.

00:37:04.800 So we'll take care of Bubba.

00:37:07.480 You back off.

00:37:09.120 That's the Bubba effect.

00:37:10.260 And I think that's what's happening.

00:37:11.360 Okay.

00:37:11.540 Back in just a second.

00:37:12.760 First, let me tell you about SimpliSafe.

00:37:14.900 SimpliSafe recently got a letter from a disabled veteran suffering from severe PTSD.

00:37:20.380 He wanted them to know that because of the peace of mind he has from having SimpliSafe's advanced security technology and monitoring in his home, that he's actually getting good sleep and avoiding the nightmares he's had for over a decade.

00:37:36.760 Now, that's something to be proud of, something they didn't expect and something that is just fantastic.

00:37:43.300 I have trusted SimpliSafe for over a decade.

00:37:46.220 I think you can trust them as well.

00:37:48.240 I know my wife doesn't have PTSD, but she doesn't do well when I'm not at home, I guess because I'm a huge body shield.

00:37:56.760 She can, you know, get behind. 0.79

00:37:59.260 But when I'm not there, she worries, and every sound wakes her up.

00:38:04.520 You don't have to have that if you have advanced home security and 24-7 monitoring plans for less than a dollar a day.

00:38:14.220 Take their live guard protection.

00:38:16.440 It's fantastic.

00:38:17.200 On an alarm, they can act on that alarm within five seconds.

00:38:21.200 Even talk to the intruder.

00:38:22.840 Say, we got you.

00:38:23.700 We have you on film.

00:38:25.280 You should turn the other way and don't finish climbing through that window.

00:38:57.480 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:39:01.320 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:39:19.440 I'm back with Jason Batrill.

00:39:21.620 Jason, the worst-case scenario in Iran, they say this attack is going to be unexpected and unlike anything the world has seen. 0.59

00:39:35.060 They said it's a new something.

00:39:36.680 I don't remember exactly how they said it, but it reminded me of one thing.

00:39:40.780 I'd like to get your opinion.

00:39:42.360 What do you think is coming?

00:39:43.820 I think that a similar attack involving a massive amount of drones and rockets is probable.

00:39:49.780 I think the addition of non-traditional warfare armaments like those EMP, electromagnetic pulse type weapons, I know, that can be launched from like artillery or drones or rockets as well to knock out.

00:40:06.120 Do we know they have that?

00:40:08.060 Well, I mean, we don't know for a fact, but Hezbollah has claimed that they have gotten them.

00:40:12.780 So that would not surprise me at all.

00:40:14.280 Those weapons have been around since probably the 80s.

00:40:16.920 So we know they're out there.

00:40:18.180 They just are rarely used.

00:40:19.320 I think we use them in Kosovo.

00:40:22.040 We've used them a few times.

00:40:23.540 But think about Israel's ability to respond to a massive wave coming from the Houthis, coming from Hezbollah, Hamas, Iran, you know, herself.

00:40:34.500 And then with all of their electronic superiority knocked out, yeah, we're looking at a much different battlefield for sure.

00:40:41.800 I will tell you, I think, I think we're in the same place we were at the end of World War I and the end of World War II.

00:40:56.960 New things are being, or at the beginning of World War II, new things are being invented.

00:41:03.120 Horses instead of tanks, or tanks instead of horses, airplanes.

00:41:08.260 It changed the battlefield.

00:41:11.260 And I really feel like our big, huge aircraft carriers and everything else, I think those are a thing of the past in warfare.

00:41:20.700 I think we could be overwhelmed quickly.

00:41:23.160 And I think China, for one, knows that.

00:41:26.740 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:28.860 I want to talk to you about American Giant.

00:41:30.920 Between now and when you vote in November, you can also cast your vote with your wallet.

00:41:36.080 When you purchase products made in America, buy American Giant.

00:41:41.000 When you buy American Giant clothing, you're casting a vote for American manufacturing, for American workers, for American quality.

00:41:49.200 We have to make more things here.

00:41:51.600 We must.

00:41:52.480 Expecting the Chinese government to play fair is silly.

00:41:55.540 To have them make everything for us when we know they're our enemies is insanity.

00:42:01.840 It's time to believe in America again.

00:42:04.660 When you buy American Giant clothing, you're investing in America.

00:42:07.980 You're sending a message that American manufacturing matters.

00:42:11.280 It connects us.

00:42:12.480 Factories remain open.

00:42:13.700 The local diner as well.

00:42:15.540 The auto mechanic has more customers.

00:42:18.360 We need to get back to the independent spirit of American manufacturing, and all American Giant clothing is 100% American.

00:42:25.200 The best hoodie you'll ever own, and so much more, made with quality that really lasts.

00:43:10.480 The new place is an optimization.

00:43:10.760 The new place is executed.

00:43:10.900 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:43:33.680 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:36.360 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:42.800 We are going to talk about what is happening in the stock market today.

00:43:47.060 We are on the edge of a very, very big abyss, and I hope we don't fall into it at this moment.

00:43:55.700 But some things are happening, and you need to be very well aware of them.

00:44:00.080 And we'll go there with Carol Roth in just about 60 seconds.

00:44:03.400 Speaking of the economy, it is, it's just, it's crimes of mismanagement at this point.

00:44:11.280 It is impossible to keep track of everything that they are doing that is just absolutely suicidal.

00:44:17.340 But you can draw a chalk outline around the U.S. dollar and set up the police tape.

00:44:21.740 There's been a murder here.

00:44:23.920 Maybe after this next election, things can start to get better.

00:44:27.400 Nobody hopes that that will happen more than you and I do, but you cannot count on that.

00:44:32.060 We are in a cycle where weak men have created hard times, and it remains to be seen if we can pull out of this nosedive and become strong men.

00:44:44.280 You need to protect yourself and your family from the difficult spots ahead.

00:44:49.380 You need to build a hedge against economic insanity.

00:44:52.200 We're going to talk about what's happening with gold here in just a second.

00:44:56.480 But I so strongly recommend gold or silver, especially silver.

00:45:02.020 It's cheaper right now, maybe more affordable for you.

00:45:05.580 But please go to Lear Capital.

00:45:07.740 I'm going to give you a phone number here in a second.

00:45:09.500 And what you need to do is you need to call them and ask them for their free wealth protection guide.

00:45:14.740 And Lear will also credit your account at $250 towards any purchase.

00:45:19.800 Just find out if it's right for you, but please do this today.

00:45:22.900 800-957-GOLD.

00:45:24.780 800-957-GOLD.

00:45:27.980 All right.

00:45:28.720 Carol Roth, welcome to the program.

00:45:32.100 Glenn, you have to promise me that one day you'll bring me on here to talk about good news.

00:45:37.340 We'll talk about ice cream.

00:45:38.800 We'll talk about puppy dogs.

00:45:40.360 I feel like your audience, every time they see me, like, oh, no, Carol Roth is back again.

00:45:45.140 I know.

00:45:45.620 I tell you, Carol, I was just thinking the same thing.

00:45:47.660 You know, we never talk when it's good times.

00:45:50.880 The stock market now, I have lots of questions.

00:45:55.560 Can you just give me the update on what's happened around the world and then with the opening bell with the stock market?

00:46:03.940 So last week, obviously, we saw some selling off in the stock market.

00:46:08.400 It started with a repricing of the, quote, unquote, magnificent seven tech stocks that had been driving up the market, taking everything else up with them.

00:46:20.540 And, you know, there's I think there was an awakening that, oh, in order for AI to be a thesis, companies are going to actually have to spend a lot of money.

00:46:28.300 And that started kind of things a few weeks ago moving.

00:46:32.360 Then in the middle of last week, we had the Fed who did not rate or excuse me, did not lower rates, but did signal that that could be on the table for September.

00:46:44.220 And, you know, normally you would say, OK, the market wants the Fed to cut rates.

00:46:49.320 But what happened is then we got a weak job report on Friday.

00:46:55.680 And while sometimes, you know, the bad news can be good news for the market.

00:46:59.880 In this case, they took it as bad news that the potentially the Fed was behind the curve in terms of lowering rates and that, you know, that they felt like maybe this whole idea of a, quote, unquote, soft landing.

00:47:14.720 The idea that you can get the economy and inflation down without wrecking the economy is off the table.

00:47:22.120 Then while all of this is going on, you have the Bank of Japan last week that decided to do the opposite of the Fed.

00:47:30.560 They have been in 17 years of basically negative or zero interest rates.

00:47:37.600 So their normalization is going in the other direction.

00:47:40.840 They've been trying to raise rates.

00:47:42.260 They did that. So for the first time in 17 years, about four months ago, and then they decided because the yen, you know, the yen against the dollar, they needed to fix that, that they were going to go ahead and raise their rates.

00:47:57.660 And unfortunately, they did not thread the needle perfectly on that.

00:48:01.280 And that created implications for their markets.

00:48:04.400 So when Japan opened, you know, last night, our time, their time in the morning, they saw this massive, massive sell-off.

00:48:15.180 And what happens sometimes when you get these massive sell-offs are these unwinding of trades.

00:48:20.860 Because they have had zero to negative interest rates, you get a lot of people borrowing.

00:48:25.660 Those people who borrow make bets on the yen and on stocks, both in Japan and in the U.S.

00:48:32.700 And then they get the margin calls, and then they end up having to sell, and that begets more margin calls.

00:48:39.440 So you saw the Japanese Nikkei go down 12.5% in one day.

00:48:46.380 It was their single worst day since 1987, that Black Monday day. 0.99

00:48:52.080 So now, as, you know, the market has opened here in the United States, you know, there's anticipation of, you know, do we get, you know, how much blowback do we get, especially since we had seen some weakness last week.

00:49:05.100 And, you know, obviously, things are going to shift during the trading day as we talk a lot here.

00:49:09.780 So this is kind of real time.

00:49:11.400 But the market opened up down pretty significantly, depending on the index, somewhere between 3% and almost 5%.

00:49:18.720 And we have seen that come off a little bit as we're talking real time.

00:49:24.600 I think that is, if there's any silver lining here, it's not that it opened and then it continued to fall and continued to fall.

00:49:31.200 There was a little bit of support there.

00:49:33.700 But still, you know, as we're talking, we're still seeing the Dow down almost 3%, the NASDAQ down almost 4%.

00:49:41.680 So it is definitely an ugly day across the market.

00:49:46.380 So how much of this has to do with technology?

00:49:50.360 I mean, NVIDIA, which was the darling just, I don't know, a month ago, everybody's like, you know, God, I got NVIDIA.

00:49:57.240 And maybe that's, you know, that's greed talking.

00:50:00.020 And that's why you shouldn't buy NVIDIA when everyone is saying that.

00:50:03.440 But they're down almost 10% today.

00:50:08.000 That's down 23% from their high, I think, like a month ago.

00:50:13.820 Artificial intelligence stocks are down.

00:50:16.180 Tesla is down.

00:50:18.820 Super microcomputer down 9%.

00:50:22.300 Is this just everybody down?

00:50:29.060 And why are the tech stocks down?

00:50:31.120 Were they just too high?

00:50:32.100 Do you know?

00:50:33.560 Yeah.

00:50:33.840 So this is a bit of a repricing in tech.

00:50:36.940 And let's put this in perspective.

00:50:39.440 So the NASDAQ, which is very tech heavy, is sort of a good proxy for what's going on in the tech market.

00:50:45.980 The 52-week range, the low point within the last year of where the NASDAQ has been was 12,544.

00:50:56.520 We're still today at over 16,000.

00:51:00.340 And so over the last 52 weeks, we still have these massive gains.

00:51:05.820 It got as high as 18,671.

00:51:10.680 And I think that's part of the catalyst here.

00:51:13.820 I mean, these prices, this quote-unquote bubble was not sustainable.

00:51:18.560 A lot of people were talking about that and the fact that, you know, we see this over-exuberance in tech all the time.

00:51:25.800 You know, first it was, you know, Web 3 and Internet of Things and, you know, the metaverse.

00:51:31.120 And now it's AI and all of those theses have eventually, you know, come back down to reality.

00:51:37.420 I'm not sure we're in reality yet.

00:51:40.600 But, you know, as you have companies talking about their earnings and talking about the spend, I think there was just this insanity amongst investors that they felt like, hey, I was just going to take off without looking at the cost side.

00:51:54.760 And as companies are coming out and talking about, oh, here's how much capital we're going to have to deploy in order for this AI thesis to really work out the way that it has, I think the market went, okay, maybe we're not, you know, pricing this correctly.

00:52:09.700 So I think that's part of it.

00:52:10.860 Another catalyst that we've seen is Warren Buffett noted that he had lessened his position in Apple by about 49 percent.

00:52:23.520 And obviously that's not lessening.

00:52:26.080 That's not lessening.

00:52:28.020 That's cutting it in half.

00:52:30.640 That's significant.

00:52:31.840 Cutting it in half.

00:52:32.320 And he's doing this with a lot of his holdings, if I understand right.

00:52:39.180 Anyway, he's making some of the biggest sales he's ever made.

00:52:43.200 It's almost as if he's becoming bullish on America.

00:52:48.280 And what does he know that we don't know again?

00:52:52.920 This is a good question.

00:52:54.400 And it's funny that we're having this discussion today because if you go through his shareholder letter, you know, his other – one of his other really big bets that he talks about in the shareholder letter is starting in 2019, he doubled down on Japan.

00:53:07.680 So he has five really big companies and really big positions in Japan.

00:53:11.900 So the day that we're talking about Japan going down and at the same time the U.S. is going down, obviously Warren Buffett was not a catalyst for both of those things because he's still, as far as we know, still bullish on the Japanese trade.

00:53:25.940 But it is interesting.

00:53:27.720 I mean, he has this massive cash pile.

00:53:32.100 I mean, $276 billion, I think it is, which is just almost impossible to deploy.

00:53:40.980 I mean, to think about how, you know, as an investor, do you even think about putting that to work and getting the appropriate returns?

00:53:48.460 So I don't know – there could be several catalysts.

00:53:52.320 This is all very much speculation because we have not heard from Warren at this point.

00:53:57.020 I don't know if this is a signal where he felt like, hey, tech is just getting, you know, so frothy, this is a really good time for me to take profits.

00:54:05.940 Maybe a little bit of taking profits ahead of the election, worry about an increase in capital gains perhaps under a potential new administration, although I don't think that he would have sold, you know, half of the position because of that.

00:54:21.680 But Warren never knows.

00:54:22.680 And, yeah, just repositioning his portfolio.

00:54:25.800 But certainly, you know, given the fact that he is lauded as the best investor of all time, when he does things people have concern and the fact that, you know, whether it's Bank of America or it's Apple or some of his other positions, you know, as the fact that he is going to cash, certainly I would imagine on the retail side and probably on the institutional side to some extent has an impact in terms of people's behavior.

00:54:52.680 All right, so two things that are protection against these have gone down, and you would think that they should have gone up, but my guess is gold and Bitcoin have both gone down, gold just a little bit, and Bitcoin about $10,000.

00:55:17.100 And I'm guessing that's because when the market crashes, people with portfolios that have taken out money and borrowed money to buy it, they get a margin call, and they got to sell something.

00:55:32.880 So it's a good time to buy Bitcoin and gold, I would imagine.

00:55:39.360 Yeah, so that's my thesis as well, is that, you know, you would think, particularly as the yields on the 10-year are coming down, that you would see gold going up.

00:55:51.860 And certainly gold has also been on quite a run for some time, but I have that same feeling that, you know, in this insanity, when you're getting these margin calls because everything else is kind of falling apart, you're looking at what it is in your portfolio that you can sell.

00:56:08.680 And a likely scenario is something that has done well for you that maybe you feel okay taking some profits on.

00:56:15.880 So that could be gold, that could be Bitcoin and the like.

00:56:19.060 Something else that may weigh in just a tiny bit is that we've seen China also pause its gold purchases.

00:56:27.400 China, biggest buyer of gold for 2023, you know, they took a pause in May and June, although, you know, they have signaled that they are going to continue to buy, but just based on pricing, they wanted to see, you know, where the price was going to settle out.

00:56:43.320 That's at least the buzz around, you know, their thinking.

00:56:46.860 I understood that they did not stop, that they said they were stopping, but they actually were still buying it.

00:57:00.160 That's what I read this weekend.

00:57:01.480 Did you read that?

00:57:03.000 So, you know, I'm going off of the World Gold Council.

00:57:07.060 So, you know, it is certainly possible that they could still be purchasing it, but that was sort of there.

00:57:14.480 And again, this is, you have to remember the timing difference is that the reports are for May and June.

00:57:19.680 We also had July.

00:57:20.680 So it could be the July that they picked back up again.

00:57:23.420 So all these things could be weighing in a little bit.

00:57:26.460 But again, I'm going to look at my screen right now because I'm trying to get all this real time.

00:57:31.340 You know, you still have gold up well over the 2400 level.

00:57:36.060 I remember, you know, last year, Glenn, when we were like, oh, is gold going to break 2000?

00:57:40.320 We think that it is.

00:57:41.460 And, you know, now here we are talking about it at, you know, the levels of 2400 or 2500.

00:57:46.440 But I think if we take a step back and think about the implications of, you know, what this could mean, if we're talking about, you know, whether it's, you know, with the indications coming from the jobs report and the Fed that there might be some cracks in the economy.

00:58:03.280 If there is continued weakness in the market, there ends up being a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

00:58:11.920 There's something called the wealth effect.

00:58:13.860 And when people's portfolios are doing really well, they feel confident to make more purchases and to, you know, to go out and spend.

00:58:23.400 And when they come back down, even though we're still, you know, they've still done quite well and they're still, you know, still ahead, they start feeling, wow, maybe I don't have this bandwidth.

00:58:35.160 The people who've had assets are the ones who've been keeping the consumer spending afloat.

00:58:40.940 So if those people all of a sudden feel like, I don't know if I should be, you know, spending the same way that I have, that could impact the economy.

00:58:51.280 Then what does that mean?

00:58:52.520 Well, then you have, if the economy's down and stock market's down, you have fewer receipts for the federal government who is still planning to run this year, a $2 trillion deficit, which means that deficit could increase both from a nominal value standpoint, as well as a percentage of GDP.

00:59:12.480 And that in and of itself could lead to more debt monetization and to more inflation.

00:59:18.800 So, you know, you have to kind of play this out.

00:59:20.940 But, yeah, I know we're getting a little wonky here.

00:59:24.460 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:59:25.640 It's not that at all.

00:59:26.340 I just have to take a break.

00:59:27.360 And I want to ask you one more question before you go.

00:59:30.280 So let me ask it now and then get your answer on the other side.

00:59:32.900 We're, it looks like the Russians are involved in the Houthis.

00:59:37.260 Things are going unstable in the Middle East.

00:59:41.580 Iran is looking at hitting Israel. 0.86

00:59:45.820 The speculation is it could happen by tonight.

00:59:49.920 We have all of that stuff going on.

00:59:52.440 And then a new possible Harris administration.

00:59:56.380 What does that mean to the economy?

00:59:59.120 What would that look at look like?

01:00:01.180 We'll talk to you in just a second.

01:00:02.860 Give me 60 seconds.

01:00:03.780 Back with Carol Roth.

01:00:05.280 Larissa wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor.

01:00:07.980 She said, I started taking Relief Factor for a couple of months.

01:00:11.600 She did it a couple of months ago.

01:00:13.500 She said, I was a paramedic and I had to leave my job due to severe back pain.

01:00:17.540 I had heard about Relief Factor on the radio.

01:00:19.380 Decided to give it a try.

01:00:20.440 Not only did my back pain disappear within weeks, but the pain from a fractured hand also four years ago is gone.

01:00:27.960 I used to do archery, but I had to quit because of shoulder pain.

01:00:32.260 Guess who's about to pick up a bow again for the first time in years?

01:00:35.880 I will be a Relief Factor customer for life.

01:00:39.280 Thank you.

01:00:40.240 Well, Larissa, thank you for writing in and thank you for giving Relief Factor a try.

01:00:44.860 I'm glad it worked for you.

01:00:46.120 It doesn't work for everybody.

01:00:47.260 That's why they want to offer you a three-week quick start trial.

01:00:50.120 Just try it for three weeks.

01:00:51.920 You don't see any difference?

01:00:53.040 Stop taking it.

01:00:54.340 They want to make sure that if this helps you, you take it.

01:00:57.460 If it doesn't, they're not taking money from you.

01:01:00.660 It's relieffactor.com.

01:01:02.680 Call 1-800-4-RELIEF.

01:01:05.380 1-800-4-RELIEF.

01:01:07.280 Save on your first order.

01:01:08.940 1-800, the number 4, RELIEF.

01:01:11.820 10 seconds, station ID.

01:01:12.820 Okay, so we have war on the horizon in the Middle East and oil has gone down.

01:01:29.980 That means that most people who are betting on oil think that there's going to be less need for it because the economy is going to be going down.

01:01:37.380 And then we have a possible Harris administration, the most liberal woman to ever be close to the Oval Office. 1.00

01:01:47.500 She was the most liberal senator in the history of the United States, and she could be our next president. 1.00

01:01:54.980 What would that mean to our economy?

01:02:02.300 Carol?

01:02:03.380 So you're back with me.

01:02:04.900 Okay, so I think that whoever the president may be, they're going to have an awfully challenging time.

01:02:11.700 And the signal was floated, I think we talked about this, Glenn, a few weeks ago, by these quote-unquote very famous economists who said that a Trump administration would cause an inflation bomb.

01:02:25.160 And I think the reason they said that is because they know that one is likely coming either way, again, based on the debt deficits and to the extent that we see a decrease in the market and the economy that could end up making that worse.

01:02:40.940 So they're setting the table that things aren't going to go well, and to the extent that Donald Trump wins, they want to be able to say, I told you so.

01:02:48.440 So that is a signal to me that there is concern either way.

01:02:53.360 I think that when you're in a time where things are kind of chugging along, the market's going to do what the market's going to do.

01:03:03.020 It's sort of disconnected from the economy.

01:03:05.220 But given the fact that we are now late in the game, that we've kind of had several years of these rate hikes and the like, and things that are trying to get back to normal, have very different benchmarks.

01:03:18.160 After 15 years of zero interest rate policy, after the COVID mandate, after all of the insane Biden administration mandates and decisions that they've made, the fact that you have a new puppet in there, you still have the same puppet masters.

01:03:37.120 You still have the same people behind Kamala that you do behind Joe.

01:03:42.540 And now they feel like, OK, we have more time to be able to affect these insane policies.

01:03:50.240 And whether it's desperation because they potentially are taking in less revenue, getting less from the stock market, trying to do more capital gains, there's nothing that they're going to do that is going to end up benefiting the economy or Main Street Americans.

01:04:07.120 Carol Roth, as always, thank you so much.

01:04:27.940 Sometimes having your personal information stolen is kind of a little bit on you, like when some Nigerian prince emails you asking for your bank account information.

01:04:39.560 You probably shouldn't.

01:04:40.440 You shouldn't do that.

01:04:41.800 OK.

01:04:42.580 And I'm going to go out on a limb.

01:04:44.040 No, probably.

01:04:44.900 You shouldn't do that.

01:04:45.680 Other times, all it takes is a data breach, and you probably don't even know it's happening until you find out, until it's too late.

01:05:51.400 On October 7th, Hirsch Goldberg Poland was kidnapped by Hamas, taken into Gaza on October 7th.

01:06:12.400 And it wasn't until day 201 that his parents had proof of life.

01:06:18.600 That's when Hamas released a hostage video of her son.

01:06:23.120 He was pale.

01:06:24.780 He looked agitated.

01:06:26.460 He appeared to have bruises on his forehead.

01:06:28.900 And he gestured with the stump of his left arm, which was blown off in the October 7th attack.

01:06:37.720 Can you imagine seeing your child like that the first time after 201 days?

01:06:45.000 Since this time, Rachel has really become kind of the face of the hostage crisis.

01:06:52.760 She has spoken twice at the United Nations.

01:06:54.680 She's met with dozens of world leaders and executives.

01:06:57.060 She's given countless interviews.

01:06:58.760 She had an audience with the Pope.

01:07:00.960 And she's now on our program.

01:07:04.360 Welcome, Rachel.

01:07:05.940 Today, 304.

01:07:07.600 Thank you, Glenn.

01:07:10.320 Thank you so much for having me and giving me the opportunity.

01:07:14.420 Sure.

01:07:15.540 So we are looking at a day where it is suspected that Iran may strike with some new sort of tactic and get involved that would move this into a regional war.

01:07:30.280 Or, I know, just speaking as a mom, not a politician or anything else, boy, that has to seem like the worst possible thing.

01:07:41.440 Well, it's, as you said, I mean, I'm a mother.

01:07:46.060 Before 304 days, I was a high school teacher.

01:07:50.860 I'm just a regular person.

01:07:52.640 And now I'm thrust into this alternate universe.

01:07:58.520 And exactly as you said, in addition to the unimaginable misery and anxiety and angst that we are going through because our only son was stolen from us 304 days ago.

01:08:13.880 And his dominant arm was blown off in that abduction.

01:08:18.080 Now we have what is being said to be an imminent threat of an attack by multiple fronts.

01:08:27.420 So I spent the morning gathering food and water and batteries for a transistor radio and moving things into a room that is our safe room so that we can be trying to be prepared for what is supposedly an imminent attack that has been said that the targets are going to be civilians.

01:08:53.020 So we, I don't know what else to do except I've spent, as I have, you know, we happen to be a religious family and we always pray every day, but today extra, you know, psalms being said and preparing ourselves, you know, for what could be a real scary attack.

01:09:16.680 You haven't seen your son or heard from him, you know, since day 201, 100 days plus have gone by and we don't know where the hostages are.

01:09:31.840 They're, they're most likely not being held the way they were at the beginning.

01:09:39.740 Is there any word at all on where these guys are?

01:09:45.340 Is there, I mean, I don't understand why the United States itself doesn't go after at least its American hostages and go in and do it.

01:09:56.540 I mean, we have the capability of doing it.

01:09:59.980 Do we just not have any idea?

01:10:03.680 It's a good question.

01:10:05.520 I, of course, am not privy to that kind of intelligence that, that the U.S. and Israel either have or don't have.

01:10:15.180 Our understanding is that the remaining 115 hostages are being held underground in the deep labyrinths of the tunnel system that is hundreds and hundreds of miles long underneath Gaza that is a very tangled, entwined underground highway of sorts.

01:10:35.720 So what they do know is that the hostages are being held underground, they don't know where, because it's such a complicated and complex system.

01:10:47.620 And they are trying to be very careful because they could go in.

01:10:53.600 But the understanding is that they're embedded with the people who stole them and are being used as human shields.

01:11:03.960 And so it's a complicated operation to try to get them out.

01:11:09.940 And remember, you know, these people are not a homogenous group, a monolithic group of people.

01:11:15.980 The remaining 115 hostages hail from 24 different countries, including, as you mentioned, there are eight U.S. citizens, including Hirsch, my son.

01:11:26.180 And they are Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus.

01:11:31.720 These are, you know, it's an interfaith.

01:11:33.980 It's really a global humanitarian crisis on the micro.

01:11:39.180 You know, the last time we had a hostage crisis like this in America was 1979 under Jimmy Carter.

01:11:50.900 And that gave birth to Ted Koppel and Nightline.

01:11:55.460 And every day he had a counter on the screen.

01:11:58.620 I started putting a counter on the screen, I think maybe day three of this.

01:12:04.080 We're up to 3.04.

01:12:06.340 And I've not seen, I'm not seeing that.

01:12:09.920 It's almost as if these American hostages just don't matter to America.

01:12:15.620 It feels that way.

01:12:17.080 It has to feel that way to you.

01:12:18.640 It's so interesting that you mention that because we have so been grateful for your advocacy in that specific way.

01:12:29.640 Because what happened with me is that the media kept asking me in the beginning, what day is it?

01:12:36.980 What day is it?

01:12:37.780 And I had a flashback to being a little girl and getting up what I thought was the middle of the night.

01:12:44.560 But it wasn't because it was probably only 11 o'clock.

01:12:47.700 I had gone to bed probably at 8.

01:12:49.720 And I wandered into our TV room and my father was watching TV and there was a number on the screen.

01:12:55.420 And a man with a big head of hair was talking.

01:12:58.840 And I said to my dad, what's that number and who's that man?

01:13:02.700 And he said, that's Ted Koppel.

01:13:04.960 And that number is the amount of days that there have been people who've been held hostage.

01:13:09.920 And I asked him, what does hostage mean?

01:13:13.140 And I remember it.

01:13:14.400 I remember my father explaining it to me in 1979 and I was eight years old and it has stayed with me.

01:13:24.260 And so on day 26, I said, you know what?

01:13:27.200 I'm becoming Ted Koppel.

01:13:28.700 And I started to put a piece of masking tape that I would write the number in a magic marker and put it above my heart every morning.

01:13:35.800 And I'm wearing it right now as I talk to you, number 304.

01:13:39.460 And every time someone asks me about my number or when I travel, people will say, oh, you forgot your dry cleaning sticker on your sweater.

01:13:48.220 Or people ask, what's that number?

01:13:51.520 And I said, it's sort of like my name tag.

01:13:53.860 My identity is this number.

01:13:56.140 My name changed and every day it changes.

01:13:59.240 And today my name is 304.

01:14:01.100 And I am so appreciative.

01:14:04.420 The hostage families are so appreciative to you for doing that because to my understanding, I think you are the only one in the media who's making an effort always to publicize that number.

01:14:19.100 And I think that the American public is just not knowledgeable about the fact that those original 251 hostages, 12 of them were U.S. citizens.

01:14:33.140 What also a lot of Americans don't realize is that on October 7th, 45 U.S. citizens were murdered.

01:14:42.040 This is not something that just happened in some random place to other people.

01:14:46.860 This was also an attack on America. 0.65

01:14:49.800 Forty-five U.S. citizens were killed.

01:14:53.340 Twelve were dragged away across the border.

01:14:56.300 Eight are still being held hostage.

01:14:58.800 It's really something that for whatever reason, the American public is not knowledgeable about it.

01:15:05.640 And Americans don't, I mean, we stand for liberty and freedom and dignity.

01:15:09.560 And something we abhorred is the idea of people stealing people, let alone U.S. citizens.

01:15:18.220 I don't know if it's the American people or if it's the media.

01:15:25.740 Too many Americans are led by the mainstream media.

01:15:29.160 They care about gas prices when the media tells them to care about gas prices.

01:15:34.320 Or at least they get vocal about it.

01:15:36.300 They see it, they know it, but they get vocal about it.

01:15:39.100 And I think the same may be true with the hostage situation.

01:15:43.640 There is no one monitoring this.

01:15:46.160 No one questioning all the time.

01:15:48.840 How are they?

01:15:50.040 What progress have we made?

01:15:51.520 What are we doing?

01:15:52.840 Instead, we're focused on Palestinians in our streets, rioting, setting things on fire, 1.00

01:16:01.500 and saying just 1930s horror show lines here in America.

01:16:11.540 And then I guess we have a debate on whether that's good or bad.

01:16:15.420 And I don't understand what's happening with any of it, quite frankly.

01:16:19.300 This is not the America that I recognize.

01:16:23.120 Not the America that we should be and can be when we follow our Declaration of Independence.

01:16:31.500 So, Rachel.

01:16:33.120 I agree with you.

01:16:34.140 You know, it's very interesting that John Andrasik, the well-known singer,

01:16:40.820 is actually really pushing for an initiative to go back to the yellow ribbon movement of the late 70s,

01:16:51.420 of tying a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree to really do some serious advocacy for this issue

01:16:58.680 and specifically for the U.S. hostages.

01:17:01.500 I do agree with you that, you know, I don't need to tell you that the media is often just a game.

01:17:09.600 It's theater.

01:17:11.180 We feel that we are pawns in this game.

01:17:13.800 I feel my son and all of those hostages.

01:17:17.400 We are fodder for this theater that's going on.

01:17:21.920 We did not ask to be cast in this.

01:17:23.880 We did not ask to be extras, and we are.

01:17:27.140 And you're right.

01:17:28.140 What the media decides is a story is what most Americans think is the news, and they think that is the story.

01:17:36.140 And unfortunately for these hostages, this, for whatever reason, and I don't really want to dive in, in my mind,

01:17:46.560 of what could possibly be the reason that we are not advocating for these cherished human beings.

01:17:54.080 Yeah.

01:17:54.500 From all these different religions and all these different nationalities, why aren't we advocating for them?

01:18:00.240 Why isn't that the story?

01:18:05.360 Very good question, Rachel.

01:18:07.220 Thank you so much for being on.

01:18:08.940 Our prayers are with you, your family, and of course, hers.

01:18:11.460 Thank you.

01:18:12.120 God bless you.

01:18:12.900 Thank you.

01:18:13.640 Thank you, Glenn.

01:18:14.600 God bless you, too.

01:18:17.100 Rachel Goldberg, Poland.

01:18:19.300 Listen, we should probably get a hold of John Andrasik, because that is a good idea.

01:18:28.040 Why we're not doing it for these Americans, I don't know. 0.99

01:18:33.100 I don't know.

01:18:33.600 But then again, I've got a whole sheet of stuff to talk to you about, maybe if we have time later on in the program,

01:18:41.220 of things that make no sense whatsoever.

01:18:43.940 None whatsoever.

01:18:46.100 All right.

01:18:46.600 Let me tell you about leaf home gutters.

01:18:49.500 Time to clean out the old leaves in the house gutters soon.

01:18:53.520 Yeah.

01:18:54.100 Yeah.

01:18:54.800 You know what that means?

01:18:56.200 Yeah.

01:18:57.000 Time to sell the house and get a new house, because I haven't cleaned out the gutters,

01:19:00.600 and God only knows what's happened to the foundation and everything else.

01:19:04.840 Look, you don't have to worry about cleaning them out anymore.

01:19:08.060 That's kind of old-timey stuff.

01:19:10.340 I remember when I used to get the letter.

01:20:06.880 Well, welcome to the program.

01:20:08.660 We're glad you're here.

01:20:09.400 Nancy Pelosi shared with me, you know, over the weekend, and all of us, really, about how wonderful Joe Biden really is.

01:20:19.640 Listen to this.

01:20:20.160 So he was in a good place to make whatever decision, the top of his game.

01:20:25.580 Such a consequential president of the United States, a Mount Rushmore kind of president of the United States.

01:20:32.440 Want to know what comes next.

01:20:34.180 That he belongs up there on Mount Rushmore.

01:20:37.560 Lincoln and Joe Biden.

01:20:40.800 But you got Teddy Roosevelt up there, and he's wonderful.

01:20:43.540 I don't say take him down, but you can add Biden.

01:20:46.380 And, wow, she's actually, though, probably pretty right.

01:20:52.040 He is consequential.

01:20:53.820 People just don't recognize it yet.

01:20:55.700 Beginning next year, you're really going to feel it.

01:20:58.120 In a very bad way, he's consequential.

01:21:00.480 Yes.

01:21:00.820 Kind of weird, though, because Nancy Pelosi is the one that forced him out.

01:21:04.200 She was just asked about that.

01:21:06.020 And here's what she said.

01:21:07.400 There have been reports that it was Nancy Pelosi who orchestrated a coordinated effort to squeeze President Biden to drop out. 0.99

01:21:17.400 Please tell us what you told President Biden to persuade him to step aside.

01:21:24.620 Well, I've never shared any conversations with a president of the United States publicly, no.

01:21:30.380 Oh, sure.

01:21:30.980 It's said that he's furious at you.

01:21:33.960 Is he?

01:21:34.380 Well, he knows that I love him very much.

01:21:37.180 I understand that you don't want to own this.

01:21:41.540 But it is so well reported that you were the leader of a pressure campaign.

01:21:48.020 No, I wasn't a leader of any pressure campaign.

01:21:50.060 Well, let me say things that I didn't do.

01:21:52.400 I didn't call one person.

01:21:54.880 I did not call one person.

01:21:56.440 I could always say to him, I never called anybody.

01:22:00.140 Texted.

01:22:00.800 She texted.

01:22:01.720 Emailed.

01:22:02.160 Other people called her.

01:22:03.220 The president would make the proper choice for our country.

01:22:05.960 Whatever that would be.

01:22:07.160 And I said that.

01:22:07.920 Whatever that is will go away.

01:22:10.360 Had you seen a decline in Joe Biden?

01:22:14.540 And did you think he needed to step aside?

01:22:20.840 No.

01:22:21.540 No.

01:22:21.900 My whole point was.

01:22:23.420 Oh, my gosh.

01:22:24.740 Whatever he decides.

01:22:26.300 But we have to have a more aggressive campaign.

01:22:29.420 Whatever he decides.

01:22:30.520 As long as it's what I want him to do.

01:22:33.300 Yeah.

01:22:33.740 But we have to have a more aggressive campaign.

01:22:36.580 Yeah.

01:22:36.700 Can't be you, Joe.

01:22:37.740 But whatever you decide, I'm behind 100%.

01:22:40.340 Except it can't be you.

01:22:43.300 Love that.

01:22:43.780 What a pile of crap.

01:22:46.260 That's a coup.

01:22:47.800 Yeah.

01:22:48.020 That is a coup against the president.

01:22:52.000 Because it's all just about politics.

01:22:54.580 She just said it there.

01:22:55.740 If he was in decline, you go to him and you say, hey, you're in decline, 25th Amendment.

01:22:59.800 But if she actually means he isn't in decline, then this was a coup.

01:24:15.960 And I want to introduce you to somebody who's doing something about it.

01:24:21.560 Next, in 60 seconds.

01:24:23.260 Have you ever noticed that if you do a job right the first time, you don't have all that

01:24:28.080 irritating hassle of having to do it over and over again, you know, because you did it the

01:24:32.240 wrong way the first time?

01:24:33.800 Yeah.

01:24:34.360 Okay, Grandpa.

01:24:35.120 Shut up. 0.95

01:24:35.740 Okay.

01:24:36.380 That's what my grandfather used to always say.

01:24:37.880 I mean, it was always so maddening because it was absolutely true.

01:24:42.400 And I, you know, you got to go back and pick those berries again in that row.

01:24:46.220 What have you been doing?

01:24:47.220 I picked the berries.

01:24:48.420 You didn't lift up.

01:24:49.220 No, you didn't.

01:24:50.000 Do it right the first time.

01:24:53.200 Learn from that and do it right the first time, especially if you're trying to buy or sell a home.

01:24:58.820 You need a great real estate agent.

01:25:02.220 You need somebody who's at the top of the line when it comes to real estate agents.

01:25:06.440 You need somebody who has the best business practices.

01:25:09.120 They have the best marketing for your house and the best plan for you.

01:25:13.000 A number of years ago, I formed a company.

01:25:14.600 It's called Real Estate Agents I Trust, and it exists as a free service to you to make sure

01:25:19.480 that you get the job done right the first time.

01:25:23.200 Real Estate Agents I Trust, they pair you with the best real estate agent in your area.

01:25:27.460 Someone who knows the best practices.

01:25:29.720 Somebody who understands the crazy housing market.

01:25:32.700 Somebody who's a team leader and a closer.

01:25:35.080 So if you're thinking about buying a home or selling your home, get in touch with realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:25:43.260 realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:25:45.900 So I want to read this.

01:25:47.700 This is from a man, a biological man who claims to be a woman.

01:25:52.360 He says,

01:25:53.320 It sounds like I caused quite a commotion at the gym by being trans in the ladies' locker 1.00

01:25:58.440 room yesterday.

01:26:00.120 A woman, very Karen, confronted me in the locker room this morning, say it was inappropriate 0.99

01:26:05.660 for me to be in there.

01:26:07.420 I answered every challenge when she eventually accused me of having parts with little girls 1.00

01:26:12.820 being around when reality is that nobody is ever naked in there and neither am I.

01:26:17.180 So I immediately went to the GM and I had a conversation about the club's policies to make sure I was

01:26:23.220 supported.

01:26:24.280 That's when I learned they fielded a bunch of calls from the previous day, which was leading

01:26:30.420 to a multi-club meeting to figure out what to do.

01:26:33.460 Net-net, the club is now on my side and will attempt to educate their membership.

01:26:40.160 I am so sick and tired of being educated.

01:26:43.800 I may be a self-educated man, but I believe I am now officially smarter than you, with a

01:26:52.820 better education than you, because you cannot understand science.

01:27:01.020 No matter what you say, it doesn't make you a woman. 0.97

01:27:05.760 So you and your minions and all of the people who are so woke, you can go ahead and try to educate

01:27:13.160 me all you want.

01:27:15.340 You're a dude.

01:27:17.020 And dudes shouldn't be in the female locker. 1.00

01:27:21.620 You know why?

01:27:23.540 Because it has the word female on that door, male on the other door, and you only belong in 1.00

01:27:33.540 the male locker room.

01:27:37.960 Now, this is really a problem because Lifetime Fitness is, you know, a lot of moms go to Lifetime 0.86

01:27:46.120 Fitness because they have, you know, people there that can watch your kids.

01:27:49.900 Well, I don't trust my kid.

01:27:51.340 My wife wouldn't trust our little kids in a place where they can't tell the difference

01:27:56.820 between a man and a woman.

01:27:59.400 No, and I don't trust that you can find the difference between a problem and a non-problem.

01:28:09.160 Now, the great state of Missouri is doing something about it.

01:28:13.520 Andrew Bailey is with us.

01:28:14.960 He's a Missouri attorney general.

01:28:17.240 So what's the story?

01:28:18.780 This is what happened in Missouri.

01:28:20.520 Yeah, absolutely.

01:28:24.560 Thanks for having me on.

01:28:25.540 This is a public safety issue.

01:28:27.560 It's not some academic exercise in diversity.

01:28:31.100 There are real lives at stake here.

01:28:32.920 And there are women who are concerned about their safety and well-being and their privacy

01:28:37.120 in this female locker room when there's a male present. 0.97

01:28:42.200 And at the end of the day, in the state of Missouri, if that male did not have permission

01:28:46.620 to be in that female space, that's a criminal trespass. 1.00

01:28:51.020 Secondly, if the gym gave the male permission to be in the female space, then that gym is 0.99

01:28:56.440 liable to the customers that it didn't warn that they weren't going to have gender-excluded

01:29:01.480 restrooms and locker rooms.

01:29:02.980 In other words, the gym has a duty to inform its customers and prospective customers that

01:29:09.580 they're going to allow men into women's restrooms. 1.00

01:29:11.820 And if they didn't do that, that's a consumer protection issue.

01:29:14.640 So the state is absolutely taking action.

01:29:16.480 And I agree with you.

01:29:17.520 This is the nadir of depravity.

01:29:20.420 This is as low as our culture could possibly go.

01:29:22.940 And I'm sick of being lectured to by the left when I am smart enough to understand objective

01:29:27.740 reality.

01:29:28.740 Gender is an objective reality. 0.80

01:29:30.620 And it is unhealthy to deny objective reality, even if you disagree with it, in the same way

01:29:35.760 that it would be unhealthy for me to deny the law of gravity and then try to jump across

01:29:40.180 the Grand Canyon.

01:29:41.620 Objective reality exists independently of our minds.

01:29:44.160 And it's not beholden to the capricious whims and fashion statements of the left.

01:29:48.280 You know, however, I'm wondering if we can get some of these college professors and geeks

01:29:56.320 that are telling us that up is down and down is up.

01:29:58.800 I'm wondering if we could get them to believe that gravity is subjective and you could just

01:30:06.000 jump off the cliff.

01:30:07.820 I mean, I'm just saying it might be it might teach the first couple of people a permanent 0.84

01:30:13.160 lesson, but maybe the rest of them in line would go, you know what?

01:30:17.000 I think there is something as objective reality.

01:30:19.900 You're right.

01:30:20.720 You're right.

01:30:21.220 We should stop messing with this.

01:30:22.760 It's insanity.

01:30:23.880 Um, and I think everybody started doing it because they were just, you know, okay, I just want

01:30:29.080 to get along.

01:30:29.660 I don't want to hurt anybody's feeling, but this, where is anyone standing up for women

01:30:36.960 and children?

01:30:39.860 All of a sudden we've just lost, we got, we have women being beaten, you know, um, in the,

01:30:45.580 in the boxing ring by men.

01:30:48.180 That's crazy.

01:30:49.440 Here's a, a very safe, uh, lifetime fitness facility that, you know, where women trust

01:30:57.060 to go in, they can bring their children, they can be safe and they don't really care.

01:31:02.740 They're not protecting.

01:31:03.680 They're just being politically correct.

01:31:05.200 So what are you, how are you suing them?

01:31:08.540 Suing them?

01:31:10.700 Yeah, we, we are conducting an investigation from a consumer protection action.

01:31:15.580 Uh, and have filed subpoenas demanding to know which customers they have or have not

01:31:19.680 informed about these terrible and, uh, you know, misguided policies.

01:31:24.360 But I'll tell you, I've been on this issue from day one.

01:31:27.120 I mean, back in, uh, shortly after I became an attorney in 2015, 2016, I prosecuted the

01:31:32.960 leading case in Missouri where a convicted sex offender was in a women's restroom, disguising

01:31:38.920 his voice as a female.

01:31:40.460 Uh, and he wasn't there, you know, to express some, uh, diversity viewpoint.

01:31:45.220 I mean, he was there to, to perp on victims and create new victims.

01:31:48.020 And there were women who had gone into that restroom and were concerned and were victimized 0.64

01:31:51.640 by his very presence.

01:31:52.880 And so I prosecuted him and that's now the leading case.

01:31:55.460 And again, informing our local law enforcement and prosecutors that that is the law of the

01:31:59.400 land and that we can use that law to protect women and girls. 1.00

01:32:02.920 I think it's really important work that we're doing right now at the attorney general's

01:32:06.400 office to fight back against this kind of nonsense.

01:32:08.420 Uh, you know, I'm reading a letter to the CEO of Lifetime Fitness, Baram, uh, uh, uh,

01:32:15.240 Crady, uh, and he wrote, dear Mr. Crady, it's come to my attention that Lifetime Fitness

01:32:21.620 has proudly adopted a policy that permits biological men to use locker rooms designated specifically

01:32:27.280 for women and young girls.

01:32:28.500 Even more concerning is the fact that instead of taking the safety concerns of your gym members

01:32:32.800 seriously, you rudely corrected them and insist they call this biological male by the correct

01:32:38.620 pronouns.

01:32:39.160 While it might be considered fashionable in certain corporate boardrooms to pretend that

01:32:43.400 biology is irrelevant.

01:32:45.580 The American heartland still believes in reality.

01:32:48.180 Amen, brother.

01:32:49.280 Missourians recognize that allowing adult men to openly invade and disrobe in spaces set

01:32:54.420 aside for women and young girls is indefensible and places political correctness above public

01:33:00.200 safety.

01:33:00.660 That is why underline, I am putting you on notice that you are under investigation in

01:33:06.580 Missouri's leading case in this issue, which I personally prosecuted the court confirmed

01:33:11.440 that a male's presence in females, public, uh, restrooms constitutes criminal trespass.

01:33:17.880 When restrooms are separately designated for males and females, only one is permitted to use

01:33:23.980 the restroom designated for his or her gender.

01:33:26.920 So that is just saying that they have to announce that they're unisex, right?

01:33:34.300 Yeah, that's right.

01:33:35.160 If they want to, if they want to allow men into women's locker rooms, they have to tell 1.00

01:33:39.760 their customers that, and then their customers can decide to take their business elsewhere.

01:33:43.520 And I think we've seen over the past couple of years, how that has impacted the marketplace.

01:33:48.880 Look at Bud Light, look at Target.

01:33:50.640 When they started pushing this radical woke agenda that again, puts women and children 0.99

01:33:54.960 at risk, women and young girls at risk, the market retaliated and consumers said enough,

01:33:59.920 we're not going to put up with it.

01:34:00.840 I think the same thing would happen here.

01:34:02.300 Uh, well, I can't thank you enough.

01:34:06.620 I think this is a very good news.

01:34:08.260 My wife and I were talking about it and she's like, I just signed up for lifetime fitness.

01:34:12.320 And she's like, I'm just about now I'm going to unsign up for lifetime fitness.

01:34:17.520 Uh, this is these Minnesota, uh, boardrooms bringing this crap down, uh, into the rest.

01:34:24.000 I mean, if that's what you want, you know, go ahead.

01:34:26.080 Fine.

01:34:26.380 But, uh, all Americans, all women, all families should know that lifetime fitness, uh, it will

01:34:34.580 put woke policies over the safety.

01:34:38.520 And quite honestly, you're just feelings and sensibilities.

01:34:43.000 Everybody's worried about everybody's feelings and sensibilities.

01:34:46.200 Well, what about those of us who still believe in actual science?

01:34:51.600 What about us?

01:34:52.700 What about us?

01:34:53.920 Uh, thank you so much, Andrew.

01:34:55.240 I appreciate it.

01:34:55.940 This is the attorney general of Missouri, Andrew Bailey.

01:34:59.120 God bless you, sir.

01:35:00.680 Thank you, sir.

01:35:01.300 God bless you and your listeners.

01:35:02.300 Talk soon.

01:35:02.820 Yeah.

01:35:03.800 I got to tell you, Pat, I mean, why is it that, that they're so open to everybody unless

01:35:12.840 it's like Nancy Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi, you know, whatever Joe wanted to do, but we couldn't

01:35:19.380 have him be the candidate, but whatever he chose, you know, to do, I would support unless

01:35:24.800 unless he wanted to stay in the race.

01:35:27.820 I mean, then there's no real choice there.

01:35:31.160 There's no real choice.

01:35:32.160 And these supposed champions of women and women's rights don't care at all about how women feel

01:35:40.700 about an actual man in their locker room.

01:35:43.560 I never understand that.

01:35:45.160 And it happens almost every day.

01:35:47.000 You can, uh, you can have a transgender, uh, bathroom. 1.00

01:35:52.900 You could have a, you could have a, yeah, you could have a transgender boxing, uh, Olympian

01:35:58.440 that is in the transgender Olympics. 0.92

01:36:00.940 That's fine.

01:36:01.780 But think of, you know, when that second boxer, uh, lost this weekend, I thought, think of

01:36:09.100 their dreams as a kid, they, they thought they could win a gold medal.

01:36:16.560 They were in it.

01:36:18.180 They worked hard their whole life.

01:36:20.320 And at the last minute, a guy who has the biological advantage on them completely changes the rules

01:36:28.940 and punches them in the face and their dream is dead.

01:36:33.580 How many little girls are watching that going? 1.00

01:36:36.500 I can't compete.

01:36:37.600 Yeah.

01:36:38.500 That's why, that's why we have the girls league in the first place because little girls were 1.00

01:36:44.120 told you can't compete.

01:36:45.720 So you can't play the sport.

01:36:49.060 That's why we developed a girls league. 1.00

01:36:51.340 So everybody could have a shot.

01:36:53.640 And now it's just men.

01:36:55.640 It'll just be dominated by men again.

01:36:58.160 Yeah.

01:36:58.960 And, and the rule that was set up in 1972 for women, um, in this country for collegiate sports 0.79

01:37:06.820 title nine, even that is, has really been tossed out the window for transgenders, uh, with, 0.94

01:37:14.360 with the Biden administration insisting that, that trans women be allowed into women's sports. 0.79

01:37:20.820 How, how can you uphold title nine, which is all about women's sports and then allow men 1.00

01:37:27.680 in the women's sport?

01:37:30.100 It's incredible.

01:37:30.260 Because they say that they are now officially women.

01:37:34.200 Yeah.

01:37:34.480 You choose to be a woman. 0.99

01:37:36.120 That is so insulting.

01:37:37.940 It is.

01:37:38.200 It is so insulting.

01:37:39.540 It is.

01:37:39.980 If you've got a noodle, um, for my money, you're not, you're not a woman. 1.00

01:37:46.100 Any noodle is disqualification for women's sports. 1.00

01:37:49.380 Really?

01:37:49.680 I'm a little picky about that.

01:37:51.280 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:37:52.120 If you're noodle-less.

01:37:53.600 So in other words, you had a noodle, but.

01:37:56.680 But you remove the noodle?

01:37:58.320 No, because there's also something inside of you called chromosomes.

01:38:02.340 And if you still have, you know, the XY chromosome, uh, it's still a stick. 0.90

01:38:09.840 I'm a stickler on that one, too.

01:38:11.120 It's still a sticker.

01:38:11.740 Really?

01:38:12.040 Yeah.

01:38:12.280 Really?

01:38:12.680 Yep.

01:38:13.080 Why?

01:38:13.480 He doesn't have a noodle.

01:38:14.540 I thought it was a noodle problem.

01:38:15.940 Well, it's a noodle and a chromosome problem.

01:38:19.280 Okay.

01:38:19.700 So.

01:38:20.280 Because you might have, what you're saying is you might have testosterone.

01:38:22.940 You might.

01:38:23.980 Yeah.

01:38:24.280 You might have bigger muscle mass.

01:38:25.960 Right.

01:38:26.240 Et cetera, et cetera.

01:38:27.040 Bone structure.

01:38:27.640 Okay, I hear.

01:38:28.180 All of the hand-eye coordination, weight to height ratio, a lot of differences there.

01:38:33.420 I got your bigot.

01:38:33.740 Yeah.

01:38:34.200 No, I have your bigot.

01:38:35.220 Thank you very much.

01:38:36.360 You're welcome.

01:38:36.660 All right.

01:38:36.740 Let me tell you about relief.

01:38:37.980 Let me tell you about relief factor.

01:38:40.100 You know what?

01:38:40.520 That's how you have to handle it, too.

01:38:42.080 Just, just blow it off.

01:38:43.600 Just whatever.

01:38:44.780 Because you're right.

01:38:46.700 You're right.

01:38:47.960 Science has proved you right.

01:38:52.380 This isn't a religious thing.

01:38:54.100 This is science.

01:38:55.400 And when you're taking a shot against me, you're taking a shot against science.

01:39:00.300 I just want to say that to you.

01:39:04.140 So what's keeping you from hopping out of bed in the morning with spring in your step?

01:39:08.440 Ready to take on the day.

01:39:09.500 Man, I just feel great.

01:39:11.740 Could it be that you're not getting a good night's sleep?

01:39:15.180 And when you do finally drop off, do you sleep like crap?

01:39:18.800 Because that's happened to me, oh, in the last few days.

01:39:22.460 Why?

01:39:23.500 Well, I don't, I have no idea.

01:39:25.080 I have no idea.

01:39:26.640 Usually that's when I reach for Z-Factor.

01:40:13.400 Station ID.

01:40:13.880 Okay, so we haven't had any time really to talk about politics per se today, Pat.

01:40:31.400 How are you feeling about what's happening with Kamala Harris?

01:40:35.200 I'm not a tad nervous.

01:40:36.320 Oh, she's the greatest.

01:40:37.300 Yeah, tad nervous about it.

01:40:38.400 I am too.

01:40:39.400 Yeah.

01:40:39.920 And I was amazed at the jobs report on Friday that came out, and somehow she found a way to blame Donald Trump for it, which is unbelievable to me.

01:40:53.980 You know, I read that headline.

01:40:55.020 I didn't hear it.

01:40:55.760 Do we happen to have that audio clip, or can you just tell me how did she get to Donald Trump?

01:41:00.440 Yeah, well, she just jumped there. 1.00

01:41:03.180 I mean, there's really no dot connecting at all.

01:41:06.160 Well, here they've been saying for three and a half years, yeah, we've created 15 million jobs.

01:41:11.340 It's the greatest jobs economy since Herbert Hoover and all that kind of nonsense.

01:41:16.980 Yeah.

01:41:17.380 And then all of a sudden, wait, we had one down report, and now it's Donald Trump's fault?

01:41:22.140 How did that happen?

01:41:22.900 How do you have it both ways on everything?

01:41:25.200 But her office released this statement, Donald Trump failed Americans as president, costing our economy millions of jobs and bringing us to the brink of recession.

01:41:37.220 Now he's promising even more damage with the Project 2025 agenda that will decimate the middle class and increase taxes on working families while ripping away health care, raising prescription drug costs, and cutting Social Security and Medicare.

01:41:53.800 It's one lie after another here.

01:41:57.600 Donald Trump doesn't support any of it, including Project 25.

01:42:01.740 He's backed away completely from Project 25.

01:42:05.580 Well, he wasn't in Project 25.

01:42:07.640 No, he wasn't.

01:42:08.100 He was not.

01:42:08.520 Project 25 is a separate thing that-

01:42:10.300 Heritage Foundation.

01:42:11.800 Yeah, and it is given to whoever wins.

01:42:14.940 Hey, these are some ideas.

01:42:17.080 These are some people that might help.

01:42:18.880 Right.

01:42:19.100 So it was never something that was part of his campaign.

01:42:23.300 Oh, the media is so crazy.

01:42:26.960 It's incredible.

01:42:27.880 It's so bad.

01:42:28.640 They don't get called on this stuff ever.

01:42:31.100 Who is saying in Donald Trump's camp he's going to increase taxes on anyone?

01:42:38.940 Who says that they're going to cut Social Security and Medicare? 0.88

01:42:42.840 Nobody ever says that.

01:42:44.860 It would be the death nail of them politically.

01:42:47.660 Nobody ever says that.

01:42:49.220 And he's not even considering it.

01:42:51.900 No, absolutely not.

01:42:53.240 And even Agenda 2025 doesn't have a cut to Social Security.

01:42:58.260 Right.

01:42:58.780 Even in that devil's program, there's nothing.

01:43:02.040 Nothing.

01:43:02.360 Oh, I just, you know, I went to Los Angeles this weekend, and maybe it was just the whole

01:43:10.720 vibe of the place.

01:43:11.760 I just couldn't take it.

01:43:12.900 Because I just looked at all of these people, and I went, you are all so blind.

01:43:17.280 Oh, yeah.

01:43:17.740 You have no idea what is coming your way.

01:43:21.360 You have been lied to over and over and over again.

01:43:26.300 Everything that you have done to this great state, you're about to do a thousand-fold over

01:43:33.940 to the United States.

01:43:36.180 And don't they see the evidence of that on their sidewalks and their streets with the 1.00

01:43:41.080 tent cities everywhere?

01:43:42.580 Don't they understand?

01:43:43.340 Honestly.

01:43:43.860 This is what you're doing.

01:43:44.600 No, honestly, I really think it is just, yeah, but Donald Trump.

01:43:51.800 Yeah, this is bad.

01:43:52.620 But Donald Trump is going to turn the lights out.

01:43:57.760 We are done as a nation.

01:44:00.080 As much as I'm convinced that Kamala Harris will be the last president in a free election

01:44:09.580 election in America, they are convinced that Donald Trump is the very end.

01:44:15.800 Yeah.

01:44:16.360 And, you know, I at least look at it as, you know, because I have faith in God.

01:44:22.860 Well, if she wins, that's not going to be good.

01:44:26.560 We're not going to like it.

01:44:27.380 A lot of trouble going to happen.

01:44:29.120 But God will use it in his own way, and we'll learn from it.

01:44:33.840 And somehow or another, we'll end up off better.

01:44:36.520 But they don't look at it that way.

01:44:39.580 Stand up.

01:44:41.800 Glenn Beck.

01:44:45.300 Our sponsor this half hour is Preborn.

01:44:50.660 Preborn is here to remind you that every day, every day, and we have, you know, our young

01:44:57.020 women have been socially brainwashed. 1.00

01:45:02.160 They've been conditioned for decades to think that an abortion is not only a human right,

01:45:08.320 but it's actually a responsible decision that you have to make sometimes.

01:45:11.780 And, you know, sometimes even just because you just don't want to.

01:45:15.500 They are isolated, alone, and terrified.

01:45:19.000 They are terrified of the future as young mothers.

01:45:22.220 I mean, some people do it because they can't bring a child into a world like this.

01:45:26.160 What are you doing?

01:45:26.780 Maybe your child is the one that fixes it.

01:45:30.400 The messaging sticks.

01:45:32.100 And so what do they do?

01:45:33.140 They make an appointment, go through with it, or they have abortion pills sent to them.

01:45:36.900 We have to change the culture and the messaging in this society.

01:45:42.920 Preborn is at the head of that.

01:45:45.100 They're leading the charge to end this kind of insanity.

01:45:49.020 Will you please help them?

01:46:05.480 Chasing Embers, a new fiction novel from Glenn Beck, is now on sale.

01:46:23.880 Find it everywhere books are sold.

01:46:27.780 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:46:30.040 I want to talk to you about a guy named Michael Murphy.

01:46:32.480 He is a Kansas state representative.

01:46:37.180 He is a guy who, when he heard about ESG, he was ahead of everybody else back in 2022.

01:46:44.700 He introduced his first anti-ESG bill.

01:46:47.980 Then he came back in 23 with even a more comprehensive bill.

01:46:51.460 And the Kansas bankers, you know, all five.

01:46:55.840 I mean, this is, the fight against this, this is, this is David and Goliath.

01:47:03.260 Always.

01:47:03.940 It's the same in every state.

01:47:06.600 They passed part of that bill that protected state retirement and investments and state contracts.

01:47:13.440 So it can't have anything to do with ESG.

01:47:15.860 The house majority leader is promising now they're going to do more next year.

01:47:21.220 But Michael Murphy is a retired airline captain with United Airlines, married 43 years, four children, 14 grandchildren.

01:47:30.380 He has a small farm and a ranch in south central Kansas.

01:47:34.420 He's a guy who Thomas Jefferson would have liked because he works, he has his hands in the dirt and he joins us now.

01:47:42.200 He's running for Kansas state Senate and it is very close and the election is tomorrow.

01:47:49.160 The voting has already started, but this is a primary for the Senate seat.

01:47:53.500 And if the other guy gets it, it could mean the end of all anti-ESG legislation in Kansas.

01:48:00.280 Very bad, in case you don't know.

01:48:02.920 Michael, welcome to the program.

01:48:04.380 How are you, sir?

01:48:05.940 Thank you, Glenn.

01:48:06.640 I'm great.

01:48:09.300 So tell me the main difference between you and your challenger.

01:48:18.140 The main difference is I'm a guy for the people, grassroots.

01:48:21.760 I have spent my entire four years doing things to try to help the grassroots.

01:48:27.380 And, of course, whenever that comes at odds with big business, then I end up with a fight on my hands, such as the ESG issue.

01:48:35.280 I also was pushing for some of the gold and silver legislation, which also would help give people an option in case we have a –

01:48:43.040 Wow.

01:48:43.460 I can't imagine that we would have any problem with our economy coming up, but just in case.

01:48:49.960 Right.

01:48:50.440 The dollar's fine.

01:48:52.020 It'll never lose its World Reserve currency status.

01:48:55.860 No, no, no.

01:48:58.400 What was your gold and silver that could be legal tender in Kansas?

01:49:03.740 Legal tender and a state depository and transactional.

01:49:08.900 Oh, my gosh.

01:49:09.780 That's fantastic.

01:49:10.340 Yeah, the technology exists now to where the state could have a depository.

01:49:14.860 People could put their gold and silver in there, and the state could put it in as well.

01:49:19.760 Then you use a debit card and spend it.

01:49:22.720 You can buy any amount of gold to put in there, $5, $5 million, whatever.

01:49:26.460 And same thing.

01:49:28.240 You can buy groceries, gas, whatever with it.

01:49:31.480 And the other thing is, is in the event of a problem down the road, Article 1, Section 10 allows states to have their own currency as long as it's gold or silver-based.

01:49:40.960 And so this was sort of a long-term look out, protect the people kind of thing.

01:49:48.320 Does it have to be on a credit card?

01:49:50.440 I mean, can you actually have physical possession?

01:49:55.240 I mean, because the state could just track your credit card, and then it becomes kind of a…

01:50:00.240 Yeah, it is.

01:50:00.860 The thing is, this makes it easy to use.

01:50:03.740 Because, you know, if you buy gold and you've got it in your safe or under your bed or wherever you keep it, and then you need to use it, you've got to go find somebody to sell it.

01:50:11.920 You know, this just makes it easier for that aspect of it.

01:50:16.000 And you're right.

01:50:16.660 If everything collapses and we lose access to electronics or everything, well, obviously, whatever you've got physically in hand is what matters.

01:50:23.880 Right, and you also just don't want…

01:50:27.340 You know, that's the problem with the digital currency the government is going to be pushing.

01:50:32.280 It's currently called the Hamilton, and they just control all of the information, and you can never physically withdraw your money.

01:50:41.620 And so that's a real problem.

01:50:44.580 So you're a farmer, been a farmer, a rancher for a long time?

01:50:50.920 Well, it's been in the family.

01:50:52.580 You know, my dad had two brothers.

01:50:55.260 One stayed on the farm.

01:50:56.180 The other two left, you know, went about their life.

01:50:59.600 And anyway, I always…

01:51:02.360 Kansas was my happy place.

01:51:03.540 I used to come back to Kansas in the summers when I was young and work on the farm.

01:51:07.240 And ultimately, I just moved back, you know, back here back in 1990.

01:51:11.140 And when I was flying for the airline, I was a commuter.

01:51:14.960 I just commuted.

01:51:15.520 And since I retired, we bought a small farm, and it's mostly…

01:51:22.240 We also have a bed and breakfast.

01:51:24.140 And so most of our farm and animals and everything are tied in with that, you know, for guests to see and experience and stuff like that.

01:51:31.160 Yeah.

01:51:32.300 So, Michael, the biggest thing facing Kansas that you think you have the answer for?

01:51:40.320 Well, the ESG thing, of course, has been something…

01:51:43.640 This is something that we, like I said, like you mentioned earlier, when I came on with that comprehensive bill, boy, everybody came after me.

01:51:50.160 Because, you know, you're going to protect the folks.

01:51:53.760 And so what we did is I worked with Senator Thompson on the other side, and we actually crafted a bill so that it was only going to go after or prevent, you know, BlackRock and Vanguard and Chase Manhattan, those like that.

01:52:07.060 We exempted through the size of the business.

01:52:09.920 We exempted all Kansas businesses. 0.58

01:52:11.580 But the state chamber and the bankers' associations still fought us tooth and nail, which told me that was my first…

01:52:18.420 That was my wake-up call because they're not protecting Kansans. 1.00

01:52:22.980 Yeah, I will tell you, the banking association, even the state banking associations, they're so deeply embedded with this.

01:52:30.640 And they will just…

01:52:32.280 I mean, I've seen them come out with millions and millions and millions behind a campaign to make sure that's all shut down.

01:52:40.640 In any state we've been in, it's quite remarkable.

01:52:43.680 It should tell the lawmakers something when you see that kind of pushback.

01:52:48.760 Well, it should.

01:52:49.860 But, you know, we're a situation…

01:52:51.900 Kansas is like every other state, and the capital is just like Washington, D.C.

01:52:55.760 You move the commas over, you move the decimal point zeros and stuff like that, the same problem exists.

01:53:02.700 These big organizations, they run things, they own enough people, and that's what they're attempting to do right here.

01:53:08.540 They're attempting to get their person in.

01:53:10.960 He has a long, long record.

01:53:13.080 He's a big business guy.

01:53:14.540 He's got a long record of donating to the chamber and working with the chamber, and they are backing him, as well as other…

01:53:21.200 There's two other big business PACs that are backing him.

01:53:25.600 The interesting thing is that I'm being backed by two PACs as well.

01:53:28.720 My PACs, one is Make Liberty Win, whose special interest is the Constitution, and the other one is Students for Life, whose special interest is saving babies.

01:53:39.840 So, nobody…

01:53:41.720 The only thing that happens if I win is people who have more liberty and we have more babies.

01:53:47.620 And the other way, you're going to have more big business.

01:53:50.080 I think that's about as close as I can get to narrowing it down.

01:53:54.860 Michael, thank you so much.

01:53:56.140 We wanted to highlight you as just one of the examples around the country.

01:54:00.020 If things go poorly in November, it is going to require states to stand.

01:54:08.180 And if you don't have the right people, if you have rhinos, if you have people that are, you know… 0.88

01:54:15.840 There's nothing wrong with big business.

01:54:17.840 But big business has nothing to do with your business, the state house business.

01:54:25.140 It has no place.

01:54:27.300 It has to be for everyone.

01:54:29.840 And everyone should have equal access.

01:54:32.000 I mean, I don't know how Democrats don't understand this, because I think they invented that whole rigmarole there on, you know, equal access.

01:54:39.640 I think that was their thing for forever, but they don't seem to care about that now.

01:54:44.120 But we have to have fighters in each state.

01:54:48.540 I like to go back and think about, you know, our founders.

01:54:51.760 There was a big business that existed back then called the East India Corporation.

01:54:55.940 And that was the original public-private partnership with King George and East India Company.

01:55:00.900 So, nothing has really changed.

01:55:04.360 But if I could, Glenn, real quick, my website is ilikemike4kansas.com.

01:55:12.460 I've put a ton of money of my own in here.

01:55:18.240 These PACs have shut off my normal sources of funding.

01:55:22.640 And I've had a tough time getting enough to make ends meet.

01:55:26.960 So, if anybody would like to go on there and donate, I'd sure appreciate it.

01:55:30.900 The election is tomorrow.

01:55:32.460 He needs your help right now.

01:55:33.760 I like Mike4ks.com.

01:55:36.300 Thank you, Mike.

01:55:37.040 I appreciate it.

01:55:37.680 Michael Murphy from Kansas.

01:55:40.260 Appreciate it.

01:55:40.820 Thanks, Glenn.

01:55:41.040 Appreciate it.

01:55:42.260 You bet.

01:55:43.260 Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

01:55:45.400 It is a noble thing to be an agent of change.

01:55:48.440 When the thing that you do stands for the rights of others.

01:55:52.500 Not so great to be just change for change's sake.

01:55:56.800 If you want to be an agent of change, you have to really incorporate this in everything in your life.

01:56:03.600 When you make the switch over to Patriot Mobile, you're standing for the rights of the unborn.

01:56:09.260 Because you're not helping companies like Verizon Fund, Planned Parenthood.

01:56:12.920 You're changing the game that these big companies that don't really care about you, that just don't think.

01:56:19.880 They honestly, they don't like you.

01:56:22.100 I don't know if you know this, but most of these companies, they look at the red states and they look down on us.

01:56:28.120 Fine.

01:56:29.020 But that's okay.

01:56:29.700 You do that all you want.

01:56:30.580 I just don't want to be in business with you.

01:56:33.820 You're participating in the parallel economy, which is making a huge change when you switch to Patriot Mobile.

01:56:40.260 And right now, when you switch, you're going to get a whole month for free from Patriot Mobile.

01:56:45.720 America's only Christian conservative mobile phone company.

01:56:48.880 And they offer dependable nationwide coverage, access to any three major networks that everybody's on.

01:56:54.160 They also have affordable, excellent plans, 100% U.S.-based customer service team.

01:57:00.780 They're going to help make switching easy.

01:57:02.840 It's patriotmobile.com slash Beck, patriotmobile.com slash Beck, or 972-PATRIOT.

01:57:09.620 The previous content identified as a rant.

01:57:13.920 You're welcome, or we're sorry.

01:57:16.720 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:57:18.760 We'll be right back.

01:57:20.320 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:57:36.460 You know, Friday, I thought I was so smart.

01:57:38.140 I was like, you know, hey, wait a minute.

01:57:39.660 You know that word salad thing that Kamala's doing? 0.99

01:57:42.560 You know, where she's like, unburdening yourself from what has been.

01:57:45.600 And, wow, you know, I just had this thought.

01:57:48.420 What's the difference between her and Michelle Obama? 1.00

01:57:50.960 That kind of sounds socialist, because if you unburden yourself from everything like facts and history, you can do everything.

01:57:57.240 I get a note from James Lindsay on Friday, and he's like, uh-huh, you're exactly right.

01:58:02.060 Here's me explaining this about a month ago.

01:58:05.780 Listen to this.

01:58:07.140 Vice President Harris will say repeatedly, what is the quote?

01:58:10.320 The quote is, that we can see what can be unburdened by what has been.

01:58:16.060 Is that word salad or Marxism?

01:58:18.100 It's Marxism.

01:58:18.840 That is, in fact, not at all word salad.

01:58:21.760 It is a Marxist.

01:58:22.780 As I said on Twitter the other day, and got mocked relentlessly by the media for this,

01:58:26.720 I said it's a Marxist incantation, as a matter of fact.

01:58:29.380 It's like a spell.

01:58:30.560 So you can see the possibility of a world that's unburdened from its own history,

01:58:34.720 which is exactly what Mao Zedong did when he launched the campaign of Smash the Four Olds, 0.93

01:58:39.720 the four old characteristics of Chinese society.

01:58:42.740 They were going to make a new China that was going to be unburdened by what had been in the past of China. 0.95

01:58:48.400 This is what the Soviets, the Bolsheviks, did when they took over power in Russia, 0.88

01:58:51.860 is that they were going to make the new Russia.

01:58:54.180 They were going to make the new man, as a matter of fact.

01:58:56.380 People could become unburdened by what has been,

01:58:59.360 so that they could see what could possibly be in the terms of a socialist utopia.

01:59:02.960 Yeah. So, Madam Vice President, when she says that, 1.00

01:59:06.400 I assume, given that her father was a Marxist and a professor,

01:59:10.080 I assume she knows what she's saying, and I don't buy her idiot Valley speak shtick one bit.

01:59:15.960 I think she's far more smart and far more savvy than conservatives have given her credit for,

01:59:20.120 and she is an outright Marxist.

01:59:22.660 It is very, very clear in her language,

01:59:24.760 and that's what the Democrats want to nominate for president right now,

01:59:27.580 which is kind of horrifying.

01:59:30.240 Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

01:59:32.960 Pretty amazing.

01:59:35.500 Spot on.

01:59:36.980 I don't know how I missed that for so long,

01:59:39.980 but thanks, James Lindsay.

01:59:41.980 We have an update on possible war with Iran and Israel.

01:59:48.540 Jason?

01:59:49.080 Yeah. So Hezbollah did start launching a few aerial projectiles from Lebanon over into Israel.

01:59:56.020 I would suspect the worst scenario here would be that these are probing attacks and that Iran is lining up a larger attack,

02:00:05.500 but this is exactly what you would need if you want to disguise some newer, to quote them, weapons that they might want to deploy if they do it.

02:00:13.520 I mean, I'm talking about those electronic weapons.

02:00:15.780 Explain that real quick.

02:00:18.120 Why would we expect newer weapons being used?

02:00:21.160 I'm basing this solely off the fact that they have threatened these before, most recently.

02:00:27.540 They've talked about using them, and that is the only thing to get around the massive advantage that Israel does have, 0.88

02:00:34.280 and that's their technological advantage.

02:00:37.380 Right. And so it's like—and didn't they just announce that somebody in the Iranian hierarchy said, I think, on Friday that it's going to come in a different way,

02:00:49.540 and it will be surprising and new, and Israel should brace themselves because we've got something new.

02:00:57.580 And it's something that we have to look forward to as well because they can't hit countries like us or Israel conventionally anymore. 0.91

02:01:04.080 They just can't. So how do they get around it? They employ newer, scarier ways to do that.

02:01:09.580 Yeah, I got to tell you, I think we're like—you remember you watched the movie 1917, and people brought their horses in,

02:01:17.140 and then they met tanks, and that was over.

02:01:20.960 I just have this feeling that we're in that same space now with these gigantic aircraft carriers against drones.

02:01:30.980 Yeah.

02:01:31.200 I mean, I just—it's going to be a different world, and we are going to be ancient in fighting, whatever's coming our way.

02:01:40.260 Yeah, I don't want to push this on anyone to subject you to it, but if you look at combat footage from Russia and Ukraine right now,

02:01:47.500 that is the future of warfare, and it is terrifying.

02:01:51.080 There's drones flying all over the place.

02:01:53.240 They're not showing you this, but there's drones chasing individual people down into trenches, going after people.

02:02:01.300 That is the history of warfare.

02:02:02.500 We are not ready for that at all.

02:02:04.740 So chasing them how?

02:02:07.100 Is it being controlled by somebody, or does it do it on its own now?

02:02:11.680 Does it have a sensor that follows them around?

02:02:14.200 Is it heat-seeking?

02:02:15.180 How does that work?

02:02:15.840 They are employing more artificial intelligence into these drones, but the ones that I've watched, I mean, there's like—they'll be like a Russian jumping out of a tank after it's been hit.

02:02:24.860 Yeah.

02:02:25.140 And then a drone—it looks like it's piloted—will chase the soldier around in a circle around the tank.

02:02:31.740 Wow.

02:02:32.220 And eventually run into the back of him.

02:02:34.080 That can't be—

02:02:35.960 That's crazy.

02:02:36.620 I mean, the Geneva Convention clearly is not involved in this whatsoever, but wow.

02:02:43.220 Well, it wasn't for mustard gas the first time it was used either.

02:02:47.240 Right.

02:02:47.820 I mean, it takes a war before you go, hey, let's not do that again.

02:02:52.980 But God only knows what our weapons are going to be in the next war.

02:02:59.000 Thank you, Jason.

02:03:00.040 We'll continue to watch that, and we'll update you on tomorrow's broadcast.

02:03:04.020 I'm going to run.

02:03:04.600 I'm with Megan Kelly next on SiriusXM.

02:03:09.880 I'll be joining Megan.

02:03:11.320 I don't know.

02:03:11.840 She's going to be ranting about something legal, I'm sure.

02:03:15.640 We'll talk to Megan next, and we'll see you tomorrow.

02:03:18.920 God bless.
