00:00:00.000 A Safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors making sure my car doesn't get stolen.

00:00:05.000 It means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars.

00:00:09.000 And it means there's no need to worry when I play at the park.

00:00:37.780 and that is the title of your home.

00:00:40.000 Criminals can forge documents.

00:00:42.060 They can file them online.

00:00:43.620 They can make it look like your property is theirs,

00:00:45.820 and from there, they can try to take out loans against it,

00:00:49.200 and you may not know anything about it until the collection agencies

00:00:51.940 and the bank notices start showing up, and then the sheriff.

00:00:55.100 By then, you're the one trying to prove you didn't do something that was wrong.

00:04:56.040 we have that yes sir okay um i was reading the reviews of the new movie by steven spielberg

00:05:04.020 called disclosure day and the reviews are crazy critics are calling it the spielberg's best film

00:05:12.660 in 20 years they're describing it as i love this one the x-files meets the bible one reviewer said

00:05:20.340 emily blunt gives the performance of her career another person said this is john williams best

00:05:25.480 score perhaps ever another said the movie left him emotional and is shaken and it is a story

00:05:34.780 that centers around the discovery that humanity may not be alone okay it's a summer blockbuster

00:05:41.200 for steven spielberg again and normally that's where i would lead it leave it but it's perhaps

00:05:49.800 not just that. It could be softening. Let me just give you this. Spielberg is not just a movie

00:06:02.000 director. Spielberg has built half of the pictures that live inside of our head. How we view ourselves,

00:06:11.020 how we view our past, how we view our culture, a lot of it comes from Steven Spielberg. When you

00:06:16.920 think of aliens, a lot of people will picture ET or close encounters. You think of going to the

00:06:23.480 beach in the summer. You will think of Jaws. You think of sharks, dinosaurs, Jurassic Park,

00:06:29.840 the future, minority report, artificial intelligence, AI, all of this stuff, world-ending

00:06:37.120 panic, war of the worlds. Okay. He has created all of these things. Steven Spielberg has spent

00:06:45.820 over 50 years shaping how America imagines fear and wonder and technology and government and the

00:06:53.080 unknown. He is the chief storyteller of the modern age. So when Spielberg retires and then suddenly

00:07:02.700 returns for a movie called Disclosure Day, right as Washington is openly discussing UFOs and

00:07:10.540 non-human intelligence people begin asking questions and this is normal okay wait a minute

00:07:18.400 is this something bigger i want to make it really clear i'm excited for the movie because i think

00:07:25.360 it's going to be a great blockbuster i don't think steven spielberg is secretly working with aliens

00:07:30.220 i don't think the government is is littered with aliens and uh and lizard people although you could

00:07:35.500 make a pretty strong case just by based on their behavior and if aliens had traveled all across

00:07:43.180 galaxies only to land in los angeles first those aliens deserve what happens to them here's what i

00:07:50.660 am saying governments have always worked with storytellers to shape public opinion always this

00:07:59.220 is not new. Kings did it. Churches did it. Governments did it. Hollywood just perfected

00:08:05.440 it because stories move people faster than facts. Facts. Great into your head, into emotion,

00:08:15.620 and they're imprinted on us. That's why the Pentagon has worked with Hollywood for decades.

00:08:21.680 You want fighter jets in your movies? Great. Aircraft carriers, military advisors,

00:08:28.160 government gets input on the script.

00:08:30.480 That's public record.

00:08:32.800 During World War II, Hollywood openly produced propaganda films

00:08:37.220 for the U.S. government.

00:08:38.380 In fact, the Disney Studios, Walt said that one morning he walked in

00:08:43.120 only to find that his entire Walt Disney Studios had been populated

00:08:48.000 with the U.S. government and the military.

00:08:50.040 And all of a sudden, he was done making the movies he wanted to make.

00:08:54.880 But this isn't just old-timey history.

00:08:57.760 Obama's White House worked with television writers during Obamacare to weave healthcare

00:09:04.680 messaging into popular shows. They admitted publicly, they admitted it. That's propaganda

00:09:10.580 from the government. Why? Because for some reason, we trust fictional characters more than we trust

00:09:18.680 politicians. It's sad, but it's true. Let me take you to Bill Clinton. He understood this.

00:09:23.800 do you remember that famous speech where he's like i did not have sex with that woman monica

00:09:30.060 that whole thing when that was going down he brought in top entertainment advisors to help

00:09:36.680 shape public appearances and public emotion and that particular statement spielberg is is the

00:09:45.580 name that was been floating around those stories for years i don't i can't verify that i don't know

00:09:50.060 if that's true but top producers and and storytellers out of hollywood helped craft

00:09:55.240 that and i believe spielberg was one of them okay okay that's sad again but the point is bigger

00:10:08.200 than one meaning or one rumor now all of this may be a coincidence and spielberg who is you know

00:10:17.060 as a storyteller is really good at reading the room that that's what storytellers have to be

00:10:23.300 good at who's my audience was my audience feeling he might have just read the room okay he might

00:10:29.180 have just seen oh everybody's paranoid about all of this stuff or someone else did this

00:10:32.980 they're paranoid about invasion they're paranoid about science they're paranoid about all of this

00:10:38.100 let me do war of the worlds maybe this is his kind of war of the worlds he's reading the room

00:10:44.040 So I don't want to get into the, is he working for the government right now to prepare us for it?

00:10:52.780 I don't know.

00:10:53.820 Nobody does.

00:10:54.700 Okay.

00:10:55.240 Here's something I think is more interesting and more important than Spielberg working with the Pentagon or the CIA or aliens.

00:11:04.080 I believe this movie and Steven Spielberg may actually represent the end of a human era.

00:11:12.240 Okay.

00:11:12.880 you're not going to need steven spielberg anymore really soon okay and i don't mean in hollywood

00:11:21.800 although that's true too i mean as government power centers advertisers anyone else that's

00:11:29.020 trying to get you to buy something act a certain way believe something just come over to their

00:11:33.660 side of thinking wear the mask don't wear the mask whatever it is you don't need hollywood

00:11:39.180 or a Spielberg anymore because you now have the algorithm.

00:11:45.980 That sounds crazy, but I want you to stop

00:11:48.480 and think about your own life.

00:11:51.820 Who's with you all the time?

00:11:54.480 All the time.

00:11:56.280 Who's with you in bed?

00:11:57.900 Who's with you at the supermarket?

00:12:00.460 Who's with you in the car?

00:12:01.820 Who is with you on the toilet?

00:12:04.680 Your phone.

00:12:05.860 and your phone studies you all the time what makes you angry what makes you laugh what scares

00:12:13.940 you what keeps you watching what kind of voice do you trust what headlines make your pulse jump

00:12:19.740 it tracks all of it now combine that with ai suddenly persuasion i don't need steven spielberg

00:12:28.700 i have something much more powerful than steven spielberg and john williams

00:12:32.660 the old system of broadcasting one message like i'm doing right now to millions of people

00:12:39.620 this is over the new system builds millions of custom messages for individual people

00:12:48.700 that's a gigantic shift probably the biggest shift in in culture propaganda in thinking and

00:12:59.140 And perhaps you may begin to understand or see this in a new light when you hear me say, we are at a time where we are facing the death of free will.

00:13:09.640 I have said that over and over again for a few years, maybe 10 years.

00:13:14.240 I said we are going to approach a time where we will see the death of free will.

00:13:18.720 We're in it right now, the death of free will.

00:13:22.500 What does that mean?

00:13:23.580 what that means is what you did today what you think what you're passionate about

00:13:32.500 what you're arguing with people about did you make that decision yourself

00:13:36.960 did you come to those conclusions because you thought it out that you had this idea or is it

00:13:45.120 just what you've consumed or worse yet did the algorithm quietly shape you in millions of small

00:13:51.380 ways. So you choose that action. You choose that course. You choose that belief. All the while

00:14:00.360 thinking, yeah, I made that choice myself. Death of free will. Imagine two neighbors living next

00:14:08.240 door to each other. One fears government control. The other one fears chaos and instability.

00:14:16.020 The machine is not going to feed them the same news. The algorithm is going to feed them

00:14:20.620 a completely different set of emotional reality.

00:14:24.440 One gets stories about hidden corruption, UFO disclosures, and secret programs.

00:14:29.260 The other gets stories about safety and experts and the dangers of misinformation.

00:14:35.000 Both people become more emotionally certain and hardened.

00:14:39.160 Both believe they discovered that truth on their own,

00:14:43.060 but the machine has studied them and is feeding that to them like lab rats.

00:14:50.680 Quietly, consistently, automatically feeding.

00:14:56.140 That's what makes this moment different from anything else in history.

00:15:01.620 Human propagandists, they have been manipulating crowds for a very long time.

00:15:10.240 But AI manipulates individuals personally, one by one.

00:15:17.000 and unlike people or governments the machine never sleeps it runs billions of tiny emotional

00:15:25.740 experiments every single day a b let's send out this a and send out this to b and we'll see which

00:15:36.720 one tracks you're being a bead all day long this image worked with this person remember that this

00:15:43.000 phrase increased their fear. Remember that. This music created trust. Remember that. This story

00:15:48.660 kept him engaged longer. Remember that. Most people think they're using the algorithm. They're

00:15:55.060 not using the algorithm. The algorithm is using you. And maybe this is why Spielberg's movie is

00:16:03.040 landing at exactly the right moment. Because beneath all of the UFO or UAP fascination now,

00:16:13.000 sits the biggest question humans have ever asked

00:16:18.280 and an entirely different question

00:16:20.760 or asked at least with entirely new meaning.

00:16:24.840 And this is the question.

00:16:27.840 What is real?

00:16:31.380 Seriously, what's real anymore?

00:16:35.720 Is that video real?

00:16:37.440 Because it can be faked.

00:16:39.120 Is that his voice or is that a clone?

00:16:43.000 Images can be generated, outraged, manufactured.

00:16:47.860 Entire realities are going to be personalized for every human being alive.

00:16:57.500 That falls into the hands of the wrong people that want to convince a group of people to do one thing or another.

00:17:04.540 It's done overnight.

00:17:08.180 Spielberg comes from the last age of shared imagination.

00:17:12.900 One movie, one theater, one national conversation.

00:17:17.520 AI is destroying that world.

00:17:21.300 Every day you get your own personal movie.

00:17:24.740 You get your own fear reflected back to your own truth reflected by your own reality stream.

00:17:35.020 Maybe the real disclosure day has nothing to do with aliens at all.

00:17:40.720 Maybe the real disclosure is this.

00:17:44.920 Something is learning how to program you and all humans one person at a time.

00:17:51.620 And quite honestly, that scares me much, much more than any flying saucer.

00:17:56.940 Back in just a minute.

00:17:59.320 Let me tell you about our sponsor.

00:18:01.440 It's Patriot Mobile.

00:18:02.140 There was a time when companies just sold you a product, bought a pair of boots.

00:18:06.200 They sold you boots.

00:18:07.440 You wanted a hamburger.

00:18:09.020 You bought a hamburger.

00:18:09.840 they sold you a hamburger you paid your phone bill the phone company's main goal was making

00:18:13.780 sure your call didn't drop in the middle of you know talking to your mom even though there were

00:18:17.800 times when you were talking to your mom you're like please let this phone drop uh simpler times

00:18:22.040 now every company in america seems desperate to tell you what they believe and what causes they

00:18:27.760 support what social movement they're funding why your purchase is apparently a political statement

00:18:33.300 i am sick and tired of it if that's the world we're living in now fine but if companies are

00:18:38.960 going to be open about their values, then I should have the ability to support a company that actually

00:18:43.200 shares my values. And that's where Patriot Mobile comes in. Patriot Mobile offers dependable

00:18:48.520 nationwide coverage on all three major networks. So you're not sacrificing any service. They openly

00:19:24.420 All right. So speaking of disclosures, I'd like to see. We're never going to get to the end of

00:19:30.860 black hole thing of of the cia ever ever i mean i think the cia is the biggest black hole it can 0.99

00:19:39.400 suck everything around it into its vacuum and it's never seen again it's spaghettification

00:19:45.880 it comes on you're like what happened what is that i'm yeah worried about aliens i'm worried 0.88

00:19:52.820 about ai warping our sense of what's real until we start acting like aliens but even without ai

00:19:58.980 and aliens we have some real problems i don't know if you saw the story about the high ranking

00:20:03.740 official from the cia who was just arrested they raided this guy's home in virginia they found

00:20:11.240 303 gold bars worth 40 million dollars two million dollars in cash nearly three dozen luxury rolex

00:20:21.080 watches for get this work related expenses you and i are in the wrong industry dude

00:20:31.700 we need to be working for the ca i want to work with people you know when you walk up i can say

00:20:37.320 i need 40 million dollars in gold bars and some and i need you know dozens of rolex for work

00:20:42.760 related. Come on, man. What, what, what work related? That's scary. If that's your work

00:20:49.880 related, uh, paraphernalia that you need. So the CIA director heard about this guy. He was like,

00:20:57.520 wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what is going on? So they raid his home. They find way more than

00:21:01.760 they were looking for. And yet they charge him with inflating his credentials, falsely claiming

00:21:08.680 active naval reserve captain status after his 2015 honorable discharge non-existent degrees

00:21:15.420 from clemson university um a test pilot they say he was a test pilot certification he never earned

00:21:22.200 that um and he secured unearned pay while drawing an inflated inflated executive salary

00:21:29.760 those were the charges what about the literal gold bars that you've found nothing about that

00:21:37.160 he now faces a maximum of 10 years uh-huh like he's gonna get 10 years in jail he's not he's not

00:21:44.800 this is this is the kind of weaponization of the government that really concerns me 0.86

00:21:51.820 the cia is spying on you they're doing this stuff and when they catch somebody spying on you or 0.71

00:21:57.540 stealing stuff they walk away they walk away they get no real punishment nobody learns a lesson

00:22:03.720 you and I, what lesson are we learning? Well, if everybody else is doing it and they're getting

00:22:08.420 rich, why the hell am I working hard every day? Why am I, why am I playing by the rules? That's

00:22:13.360 a really bad lesson to learn and to be teaching. And we have seen it over and over again. Somehow

00:22:20.100 or another, if you work for the government, you have some shield of protection around you.

00:22:25.540 Okay. How about Jill Biden? You see this story that came out last night? Jill Biden 0.84

00:22:31.640 casually says in an interview she thought her husband was having a stroke during the presidential

00:22:38.880 debate she thought he was having do you remember he walked off stage she walked him off stage into

00:22:46.720 another room and was like didn't he do great everybody didn't you thought he was having a

00:22:51.780 stroke and you walked him into another room and and then the government hammered anyone who thought

00:23:00.320 maybe he was having a stroke on stage that's weaponization of government that is control

00:23:08.140 of what you think remember that was being done by these guys okay now they have algorithms to do it

00:23:15.640 for them the twitter files or anything else that the government seems to get away with

00:23:20.380 this has got to stop and i'm going to show you how long it has been going and why it has to be

00:23:28.180 stop right now before it goes any further next

00:23:31.500 you know what dads never ask for cheaply made stuff because dads measure twice

00:23:57.980 cut ones dads have spent their entire life learning the hard way buying something twice

00:24:02.560 is used much usually usually much more expensive than doing it right the first time dad knows when

00:24:08.920 a piece of clothing actually holds its shape after you wash it you know after you really are using it

00:24:14.360 you're a man you're using it for manly stuff people have spent their lives working hard for

00:24:19.640 what they have one of the reasons i like american giant is they are the best they they make premium

00:24:26.240 hoodies something you haven't honestly if you are not my age you never had a hoodie or a sweatshirt

00:24:33.280 that feels like this because they were only made in america we got rid of all the machines and

00:24:37.500 everything else we american giant brought those machines back we sold them to japan we brought

00:24:42.660 them back and now they're made here in america like this and you feel the difference there's the

00:24:46.760 kind of clothing that is made to last it's comfortable it's well constructed built with

00:24:50.560 the kind of care and workmanship that used to be a point of pride in america you're looking for a

00:25:01.580 purchase. American-Giant.com slash Glenn. Coming up, another Islamic terror attack in Europe

00:25:08.640 happened early this morning, but Glenn will explain why this jihad is even more chilling 0.54

00:25:13.280 than you think. Next on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:25:25.080 I am just not going to be able to do justice to a piece of history that I think is really important.

00:25:38.960 It kind of ties into what we've been talking about, about how everything is changing

00:25:43.480 and the weaponization of government and how government is using algorithms, etc., etc.

00:25:48.040 I want to save that till tomorrow, um, because it's, it's really, really important that I can

00:25:54.840 spend the time to do it right. And I'm already seeing the stories that are just stacking up on

00:26:00.200 top of us. Uh, Jason was just talking to the insiders about, you know, the, the movie, uh,

00:26:06.600 from steel and Steven Spielberg. And he said, he's starting to believe that this whole thing

00:26:10.580 is just a psyop. And I think it is. I think it, I mean, let's be the most reasonable people.

00:26:15.960 steven spielberg read the room saw what was happening saw a great script come through and

00:26:21.100 went oh this will be a blockbuster because everybody's thinking about ufos right now

00:26:25.060 and so let me do this um and i think that's the most reasonable thing to think you know him being

00:26:32.320 involved with the cia it's possible as i showed you just a little while ago um steven spielberg

00:26:37.240 has done government propaganda stuff you know over and over and over again he has helped uh

00:26:43.200 You know, do things that he thought were the right things for America.

00:26:47.660 And so he has been involved with things like this.

00:26:50.500 But there are so many stories stacking up.

00:26:53.820 Jason, you were just talking about the story of the CIA using DNA from Ancestry and 23andMe to, quote, search for alien life.

00:27:06.900 What the hell is that story?

00:27:09.160 I had this picked a while back as something to do like on a Friday.

00:27:13.060 But now I feel like all of these, I 100% now believe this is a psyop.

00:27:17.860 And I feel like the people that were looking at these topics before were always, you know, pointing fingers at the CIA saying they were the bad guys.

00:27:25.420 You know, they're the ones that are hiding all this information from us.

00:27:28.420 We need full disclosure.

00:27:29.300 But now we get disclosures like what you were just talking about, that the CIA was using 23andMe and Ancestry.com, allegedly, to find all the humans that had extraterrestrial DNA.

00:27:42.580 At some point, you've got to take a step back, I believe.

00:27:48.100 I think you do have to back away from the cliff just a little bit and go, wait a minute, wait a minute, what?

00:27:54.020 And then the CIA, the psychic spies.

00:27:57.980 Tell that story.

00:27:59.300 Yeah. So that was supposedly the source. So this source approached this novelist who brought this

00:28:08.080 out in a podcast and brought it out into the mainstream media. But it was supposedly a CIA

00:28:12.800 psychic spy that got this information about the CIA. Now, if you're curious how this psychic spy

00:28:19.700 allegedly got this information, it's a very common spy-type scenario that happens, Glenn.

00:28:27.120 so he was not ordering a martini shake and not stirred you know in eastern europe somewhere

00:28:33.100 he was in a diner supposedly where he was approached by three aliens and they were the

00:28:40.340 ones that let him know about this so obviously it's not a psyop i actually i didn't know that

00:28:45.960 he was approached by three aliens in a diner so i guess this all really is true

00:28:49.420 how many times has that happened to all of us right right so it is so much easier if you are

00:28:58.580 in charge of things for instance i i have this understanding and i this this is just my own

00:29:05.560 feeling i don't have anything to back this up but just see if this makes sense to you yeah if you're

00:29:10.740 a politician and i i got this from from being over in england in london and just standing there and

00:29:16.760 sensing what was happening and seeing how the elites can live in London and

00:29:20.580 nothing is happening really in London.

00:29:22.300 You have to be where the people live and you have to be in these places where,

00:29:26.360 you know,

00:29:26.920 they've destroyed the factories and the working person and the farmers.

00:29:31.780 So you can stand there and you go,

00:29:33.200 well,

00:29:33.280 nothing is really happening.

00:29:34.420 But if you're in those neighborhoods,

00:29:36.280 if you're in those areas where the factories have been destroyed and you see

00:29:41.160 it everywhere,

00:29:41.860 you think now how can these politicians do this and think this is going to work

00:29:45.340 out well?

00:29:45.780 hear me out on this your policies have destroyed the country your policies have destroyed the

00:29:54.240 working class your policies have destroyed the factories without factories without power you

00:30:00.680 cannot survive as a country okay and you know that the people who are in these towns are going to

00:30:07.440 rise up soon okay because you've destroyed their way of life and now and now you're destroying

00:30:16.060 their country and they're all like going wait a minute i don't think you actually serve our

00:30:19.720 country anymore how do you how do you keep them down well you do you could do it now this is me

00:30:25.860 as a fiction writer writing this fiction one thing you could do is you could say why don't

00:30:31.280 we just import a lot of other people that are going to be a bigger problem from them and we're

00:30:35.020 going to place them in the towns that we have just destroyed. We're going to put them in these 0.65

00:30:41.120 struggling towns. We're not going to put them around us. We're not going to put them in London. 0.98

00:30:44.200 We're going to put them in towns where the factories, where these people are not going

00:30:48.360 to work anywhere. They're going to live off the system, but we're going to put them next to the

00:30:52.260 people who are living in those towns, and we're going to give them free stuff that we're not

00:30:58.100 giving to the factory worker who no longer has a job. You're struggling. You're paying your taxes.

00:31:03.980 We're going to give these people all kinds of stuff.

00:31:06.460 And oh, by the way, you know, they're not going to be compatible with that system at

00:31:11.800 all.

00:31:12.120 They're not going to be compatible with the people that live there, et cetera, et cetera.

00:31:16.080 You've now just, you've now just given the people in those small towns something to worry

00:31:23.100 about that's bigger than you because it's in their face.

00:31:26.980 It's in their face.

00:31:28.680 Now, I think this is backfiring on them because people are seeing, wait a minute, they're

00:31:33.920 not paying their taxes. They're not doing anything. Um, they're raping our children and

00:31:40.220 the police are in on this. I don't think that they serve us at all, but they've slowed things down 0.89

00:31:48.280 and they've made it easy to say, Oh, see you're a bigot because they control all the power.

00:31:53.420 They control the media. They control the television. They control everything that you

00:31:57.860 see. They control in many cases what you see online. And so it's easy then for the elites

00:32:05.060 and those people who are living in the big cities to go, yeah, it's just those hicks that live out

00:32:08.720 there. And notice that's what they're doing. They're mocking you all the, every step of the

00:32:14.320 way that tell Rico, uh, uh, video or picture that just came out. I'm going to talk about this top

00:32:20.440 of the hour but um let me show you this picture of him eating a turkey leg with a big texas flag

00:32:28.580 shirt on he posted this and he's like ready to take back texas he's eating a turkey leg wearing

00:32:36.680 a big texas flag shirt now do you think this california liberal has ever worn a texas flag

00:32:44.140 shirt you think that's the way he goes out of the house during the day technically he's born and

00:32:47.980 he's in Texas, but you wouldn't know it. You wouldn't know it. He's a Californian. He's a

00:32:51.580 Californian in spirit. Everything about him screams California. Okay. You think he actually

00:32:56.500 goes out in that shirt and he's like, Hey buddies, what's going on? Eating a turkey leg. I thought

00:33:03.040 this guy was against meat. This, he is in a way mocking you. This is how they, this is what the

00:33:11.540 elites think of you. When they think of a Texan that they've got to get in their side, they think,

00:33:18.720 yeah, the ones who wear the big Texas flag shirts and eat turkey legs all the time. They're mocking

00:33:24.060 you. It's incredible to watch. It's just incredible to watch. Tomorrow I'm going to do something on

00:33:33.840 history, but I'm going to start with Neville Singham. There's new audio out, new video out

00:33:39.440 that fox has just exposed where he is at a big thing over in asia where he's talking about how

00:33:46.820 we need to change history you know capitalism is fascism and we've got to destroy it and

00:33:55.100 it's the capitalists and americans that were really responsible in the british that were

00:34:00.040 responsible for all the death in world war ii they were the bad guys now wait a minute i'm 0.73

00:34:05.780 hearing this from neville singham who is we know in league with the ccp where else have i heard that 0.58

00:34:12.440 the west and america and the american soldiers and uh and winston churchill and england were 0.72

00:34:20.300 actually the bad guys where else have i heard that what's happening here what the hell is happening

00:34:29.780 here meanwhile while we're arguing all of this stuff we're arguing about who the real racist is

00:34:40.480 let me give you a story about the jihad killing this morning on a swiss train

00:34:44.740 there's a guy who um uh goes to a train station he pulls out a knife he starts stabbing people

00:34:55.400 and he's screaming Allah Akbar and I am Jesus Christ. Now here's where the media is going to

00:35:03.260 spin this. They're going to leave out the Allah Akbar and they'll just say he was a crazy guy 0.92

00:35:08.140 who thought he was Jesus. That's what you're going to hear. Crazy guy who thought he was Jesus 0.93

00:35:12.560 starts stabbing people in Switzerland. Okay. How could a guy say Allah Akbar and claim that he's 1.00

00:35:22.880 jesus at the same time that doesn't make any sense no it doesn't if you're a western if you 0.82

00:35:29.040 have the western pov if if you haven't if you don't know what islamist actually believe then 0.58

00:35:36.760 it makes no sense now i'm not saying this guy isn't crazy i'm sure he's crazy okay he thinks

00:35:42.280 he's jesus and there's lots of crazy people who think they're jesus but this guy thinks he's jesus 0.74

00:35:48.780 and is screaming ala akbar what how is that possible well if you're a sunni or a shia

00:35:56.500 radical if you're somebody and i can't even say radical because it is it is so much a part of

00:36:04.260 this faith right now they have the opposite understanding of the christian second coming

00:36:11.760 or yeah second coming they have a different view of how the world is going to come to the end and

00:36:16.860 in the traditional islamic belief jesus doesn't come back he's not the son of god he returns as

00:36:23.520 a muslim prophet and he helps defeat the false messiah the dajjal um and he confirms that the

00:36:34.780 real faith is the islamic faith okay um and he corrects all of the false worship and then he is 0.74

00:36:43.640 also the enforcer of that. So a guy who is crazy, but believes all of the Islamic traditions and 0.96

00:36:50.820 all of the Islamic end of time stuff, he believes he's the enforcer. He's coming back as Jesus 0.94

00:36:57.580 Christ, who is the enforcer. Don't dismiss these things. Don't listen to the media. They don't

00:37:06.080 care about any of this stuff. If this were happening, I guarantee you, if this guy were

00:37:11.160 a Christian and thought he was Jesus Christ, this would be a story that would lead the press in the 0.95

00:37:16.380 world forever. But because he is an Islamist who also says he's Jesus Christ, they'll just bury 0.99

00:37:24.400 this story because either they don't know what that means or they don't want you to know what 0.99

00:37:30.740 that means. This is a very sick individual who also understands the coming of the Mahadi, 0.50

00:37:39.460 who knows that Jesus is going to be a prophet for Islam, 0.99

00:37:46.680 at least in their belief, 0.85

00:37:48.120 and is going to come back into being the enforcer.

00:37:50.280 So whether he actually thought he was Jesus

00:37:53.000 or he was just making the point to a bunch of people

00:37:56.160 he thought were Christian,

00:37:57.320 but if they're in Europe, I can guarantee you, 0.97

00:37:59.560 odds are they're not Christian, 0.98

00:38:01.360 and is stabbing them and saying,

00:38:03.700 I am Jesus Christ, Allah Akbar.

00:38:05.820 this is not just some madman okay and what is the media telling you about this most likely nothing

00:38:15.240 what is the media telling you about the guy who walked into a horton's uh coffee shop

00:38:22.200 tim horton it's a it's like denny's up in canada he had dunkin donuts um he he walks into

00:38:30.880 Tim Hortons. And it sounds like a joke. I walks into Tim, Tim Hortons for a cup of coffee and a

00:38:38.280 donut and ends up dead. Okay. This, this is state approved death. Now here's the story. 45 year old

00:38:46.140 man in Canada suffered from Crohn's disease. I have that in my family. It is a horrible disease

00:38:51.600 and depression. I usually go hand in hand. He meets with a doctor outside a Tim Hortons.

00:38:58.640 and that's where this doctor evaluates him outside of the coffee shop and says you know what you're 0.98

00:39:05.700 a candidate for maid i can have you killed by the end of the day so the doctor texts him

00:39:12.060 a euthanasia plan and then personally drives him and this is the worst part of this story 0.99

00:39:18.860 and this is the part that i have not heard the media talk about

00:39:22.420 the doctor drives him personally to an industrial building where cadavers are prepared for funerals

00:39:32.760 walks him into a holding room at this industrial cadaver factory injects him with legal drugs

00:39:42.520 end of life paperwork complete end of story an industrial building to prepare cadavers

00:39:51.740 for funerals and a doctor walks in puts him in a holding room and kills him and is like i'm just

00:39:55.880 cutting out the middle man we don't need to bring you the hospital just bring you right to the

00:39:58.560 cadaver factory oh my gosh these are the stories these are the stories because it's not just the 0.76

00:40:07.620 death it's the collective shrug 20 years ago this story would have petrified the entire world

00:40:14.620 now it's just administrative it's clinical it's routine that's it that's how cultures change

00:40:20.660 while we're talking about UFOs, they're not changing the culture with fireworks or marching

00:40:26.380 bands. It's just changing the culture one compromise at a time. That's how you do it.

00:47:21.740 propofol i have to make a couple calls but i think we can get a chip to you somehow i think

00:47:26.440 you have to administer it yourself but uh i'm sure you can yeah i mean i i get you know see

00:47:33.060 there have been nights that i've just been like propofol would be so good i understand michael

00:47:37.360 jackson i strangely i understand him um anyway uh how you doing dave it's good to see you my friend

00:47:45.080 you know i'm fine as every time i see you i think i say the same thing for the last you know probably

00:47:49.820 two plus years which is my life is good what happens in the in the four walls of my home and

00:47:55.080 with my family and my colleagues and things like that is all good.

00:47:59.020 The state of the world is just wacky and that's what people come to us for.

00:48:03.300 So I guess let's dissect it.

00:48:05.120 I know.

00:48:05.800 I know.

00:48:06.280 The most important things we will ever do will be in the four walls of our homes.

00:48:10.200 So it's all that really matters.

00:48:11.820 So let me, can I start with, can I just be, my nickname years ago used to be Oblivio

00:48:20.660 because I'm oblivious to so much.

00:48:23.520 Okay.

00:48:23.660 just oblivious to so much um there is a tweet that uh came out of tal rico

00:48:32.420 talarico sorry talarico uh in a in a texas flag shirt eating a turkey leg first of all the guy

00:48:42.960 is on record saying he's a vegan he doesn't like meat he's eating a turkey leg i think this whole

00:48:48.580 what i saw in this is here's a guy almost mocking um uh texans you know this is what texans really

00:48:57.340 look like so i'm going to pretend i'm one of them um however ricky who is absolutely debased she is

00:49:05.460 she's not a good human being she she comes in uh and she's like this this is a this is appealing 0.97

00:49:14.660 to let's say non cisgendered uh voters and i'm like what are you even talking about and she said 0.71

00:49:21.760 your rumor is you know he says he has a girlfriend yada yada i have no gaydar i think she's i think 0.98

00:49:30.240 she's an abomination ricky i think she's probably going to spend more time in hell than most of us 0.98

00:49:34.720 i've always liked her but okay you know 0.99

00:49:37.320 what's your gaydar say on him and what is there is she is she just going to hell or does she have

00:49:47.040 a point on this you know i must say this is very strange i got a text from billy bush

00:49:52.620 broadcaster billy bush yesterday asking me about my gaydar on talarico if this is what the remainder

00:49:58.640 of my career is going to be just figuring out who and who isn't gay well i have a very long

00:50:03.200 a career in politics, but I don't know 0.82

00:50:04.740 that this is what I signed up for. 0.95

00:50:07.780 Look, I don't know if this guy is gay. 1.00

00:50:10.240 Look, there's obviously some weird stuff 0.86

00:50:11.980 when he tells you that Jesus is non-binary

00:50:14.820 and that there are six genders. 0.64

00:50:16.520 And there's a slight effeminate thing to him,

00:50:19.440 but you know, Glenn, look, there are effeminate guys

00:50:21.980 who are straight and there are straight acting guys

00:50:24.220 or masculine guys who are gay and all of those things.

00:50:26.460 So to me, that's not so important here.

00:50:28.200 I feel better about myself.

00:50:30.600 Yes. Glenn, as far, I've known you quite well for many years at this point, and I can confirm to the listeners that you are straight as far as I know.

00:50:40.740 No, no, no. I mean, I just, I feel better because I didn't think there was anything to this.

00:50:46.120 I didn't see it that way. And then Ricky comes in, you know, with I thought I thought this was I thought this was just a crazy ruse to get me to affirm your straightness.

00:50:54.620 But OK, in any event. No, no, no.

00:50:58.040 in any event yes let me ask let me ask you a couple of things there is a another thing that

00:51:05.340 was put out um stephen miller he shows this picture of talarico and he says democrats made

00:51:12.860 history in texas by nominating their first transgender state senate candidate okay funny 0.99

00:51:18.300 okay but the response from the democrats the democratic party was shut up you ugly f 0.99

00:51:26.240 and i can see that coming from personalities i can see that i could see donald trump even saying 0.97

00:51:32.880 that this was the democratic party that tells me they believe their constituent

00:51:41.220 is a lot different than i think what most democrats think the other voters that vote

00:51:48.700 like them are yeah i think that's a good point look no because in this case you know look the

00:51:54.460 we live in the world of the internet and social media and there's trolling back and forth and

00:51:58.300 trump obviously says colorful things about people and we've all been through all those things

00:52:02.140 but there is definitely a level that now is being achieved by the democrats where they're constantly

00:52:07.980 if you note lately democrats constantly on the stumps uh stump speeches are saying the f word

00:52:14.220 they're they're doing this soft kind of you know soft shoeing around violence where it's sort of

00:52:20.220 okay that Brian Thompson, the UnitedHealthcare CEO, is killed by Luigi Mangione, or Charlemagne

00:52:26.080 the God, I hate calling him that, his real name is Lenny, the radio guy, after the last

00:52:30.980 assassination attempt on Trump, basically said, well, I can understand why people would

00:52:35.260 do it.

00:52:36.260 So they really are changing all the norms.

00:52:38.720 And the crazy thing about the Tallarico situation is you have to remember, his primary was against

00:52:44.860 Jasmine Crockett, who was as bananas lefty as you could get.

00:52:49.200 And he said, hold my beer, I'll show you what bananas lefty is in Texas, in Texas.

00:52:55.360 It would be one thing if this was happening in Cali. 0.60

00:52:57.780 We would all be like, okay, they had a kind of crazy lefty and they went a little crazier.

00:53:03.120 But it's really, but Glenn, think about it this way.

00:53:05.300 This is what they do in their primaries.

00:53:07.800 And then when you have a bad lefty, you get a worse one.

00:53:09.920 Think about Chicago. 1.00

00:53:10.920 They had Lori Lightfoot, as bad lefty as you can get.

00:53:13.760 Now they have Brandon Johnson, 0.99

00:53:15.420 the Jasmine Crockett Tallarico thing.

00:53:18.000 You had, what's his name in, you had Garcetti, 0.97

00:53:20.940 who was a terrible lefty in LA, then you got Karen Bass.

00:53:24.100 There are so many examples.

00:53:25.380 You had de Blasio and then Eric Adams in New York, 0.98

00:53:27.940 and now you end up with Mamdami. 0.82

00:53:29.580 So for some reason, and this is something

00:53:31.880 that our friend Jordan Peterson was talking about for years,

00:53:34.820 the left never knows when the left goes too far,

00:53:38.180 so everyone's always trying to out-crazy themselves,

00:53:40.820 congratulations you've now ended up with talarico in texas in texas i know i know i know i know um

00:53:49.420 let me let me switch to uh desantis and to uh donald trump leaving um in this way in um in the

00:54:00.880 bible in math i think it's matthew book of matthew um jesus tells a story about you know somebody who

00:54:07.460 chases an evil spirit out um and uh and then the spirit goes out and it's wandering and it comes

00:54:16.480 back and finds that that guy hadn't replaced it hadn't cleaned he cleaned out his house but he

00:54:22.260 hadn't replaced it with anything and so it goes back in but this time it goes back in with seven

00:54:27.840 more spirits worse than the first spirit and i i feel like we've chased bad guys out but we're not

00:54:37.280 necessarily replacing them with anyone who are we going to replace desantis and and donald trump

00:54:45.200 with what happens when these guys leave because we could get seven more that are much worse than

00:54:53.280 what we chased out prior to yeah i mean the key to that is realizing that you have to have some

00:54:59.000 kind of plan of secession and no matter how good things may be in florida and you're a new floridian

00:55:03.900 resident. You see how great things are. I saw you a couple months ago, and you were just beaming about

00:55:07.740 how much you love it here, and there's reasons for that. Look, from a Florida perspective,

00:55:13.060 in terms of the next governor, it likely, I would say there's probably about an 80% chance that it's

00:55:18.040 going to be Byron Donalds, who I've interviewed many times. I've hung out with him. I think he's

00:55:22.560 a good guy. He's done a nice job in Southwest Florida, Naples area as a congressman. I think

00:55:26.980 he's really good on television, and I think he will likely continue much of the DeSantis agenda.

00:55:32.820 it's probably him, it might be another great guy.

00:55:35.660 We have Jay Collins, who's former military vet,

00:55:38.300 who is the Lieutenant Governor right now,

00:55:40.200 who I think would be completely in line with DeSantis.

00:55:43.840 He has a much more uphill battle

00:55:45.060 because Byron Donalds just has great name recognition

00:55:47.900 and he's all over the media all the time.

00:55:49.100 But Florida, also keep in mind,

00:55:50.900 Florida got 2.3 million residents since COVID

00:55:53.540 and we've now seen the numbers.

00:55:55.080 I mean, they are voting red, red, red.

00:55:57.620 When DeSantis took over,

00:55:58.880 I think there were a couple hundred thousand more Democrats

00:56:01.820 than Republicans in Florida,

00:56:03.620 and now it's over a million more Republicans.

00:56:05.600 So Florida, I think for the next,

00:56:08.500 let's say five, six plus years, I think will be just fine.

00:56:11.660 On the national stage, look, the Republicans,

00:56:14.140 I think Trump's gonna want a contested convention.

00:56:16.500 I don't think they're just gonna hand this to JD

00:56:18.840 in a conventional way.

00:56:19.780 I think obviously almost everyone right now is high on Rubio.

00:56:24.140 So you have competent people, you've got Rubio,

00:56:26.520 you've got JD, maybe DeSantis gets involved again.

00:56:30.220 Who knows, could Hegseth throw his name?

00:56:32.060 I mean, there's enough people there

00:56:33.820 that whether you agree with all of them

00:56:35.500 or maybe you like this one on this and that one on that,

00:56:37.900 there's enough people that I think most of us

00:56:39.720 who are right-leaning would say,

00:56:41.140 hey, this is a good crop of people

00:56:43.000 and let them fight it out.

00:56:44.660 And I think that's what Trump's gonna want.

00:56:46.600 I think he's gonna want a show to hand over his legacy.

00:56:49.440 Maybe Jr. gets involved.

00:56:50.700 I mean, who knows?

00:56:52.700 I think Tulsi Gabbard is a name

00:56:54.320 that you should throw in that.

00:56:55.720 I think Tulsi Gabbard is-

00:56:56.640 Absolutely, absolutely.

00:56:58.280 You know, obviously her husband's dealing

00:56:59.680 with some health stuff right now so they have to see how that shakes out but you know tell tulsi

00:57:04.040 this is someone who was a democrat congresswoman who was who ran for president as a democrat you

00:57:10.320 know she me and her we have a sort of familiar uh kind of roadway to becoming republicans let's say

00:57:17.400 um she's really she's well liked you know and there's going to be different factions in the

00:57:21.820 republican party and they're going to fight it out so where does this end you you know dave you

00:57:28.960 and i have talked several times the the right is just dividing itself gotta stop dividing ourselves

00:57:34.540 um but it's just dividing itself it's just breaking up and how does this end what do what

00:57:42.160 will bring us all back together is that possible well yeah i mean you know unfortunately the way

00:57:49.200 the world works or humanity works generally the things at this point that could probably bring us

00:57:53.740 together are real tragedies and horrible events.

00:57:57.660 So let's pause on that for a second.

00:58:00.980 In terms of the division, if you look at Trump's last 118 endorsements, as I'm sure you know,

00:58:08.300 he's won all 118 of them.

00:58:11.400 Now some of them were easy primaries and whatever, but this is gubernatorial, this is Senate,

00:58:15.120 and this is the House.

00:58:16.320 So the idea that Trump, that MAGA is seriously divided, I think it plays well online and

00:58:21.860 I'm not sure how much actual traction it gets.

00:58:24.620 You know, Glenn, even some of the guys

00:58:25.940 that you and I used to be close colleagues with

00:58:29.040 that have gone in this other direction

00:58:30.560 that are attacking Trump constantly

00:58:32.380 and going after him on the war

00:58:34.380 and Epstein and stuff and all this stuff,

00:58:36.080 their numbers are not doing great right now.

00:58:38.100 I don't think numbers are the ultimate arbiter.

00:58:40.040 I think truth is the ultimate arbiter.

00:58:41.840 But I don't sense that things are as divided as they think.

00:58:45.380 Even if you look at the Massey race,

00:58:46.880 which was the most contested,

00:58:48.820 Trump's backed candidate, Ed Galleran, won.

00:58:51.520 and won by a lot.

00:58:52.760 And it would have been an aberration had Massey won

00:58:55.360 after going against Trump.

00:58:56.460 So Trump still has control of the party.

00:58:58.960 There's gonna be fighting online for sure.

00:59:01.420 And maybe we need to make better arguments

00:59:03.640 about certain things.

00:59:05.240 I think that's possible. 0.59

00:59:07.100 But I also think that the real white pill right now

00:59:09.840 is that the Democrats are so out of control,

00:59:11.640 partly from what you just showed before with the language,

00:59:14.180 but also the, you know, Mamdami talking about asset,

00:59:17.140 seizure, the crazy race in LA

00:59:19.520 where people are realizing how bad Karen Bass is,

00:59:21.980 that as we roll towards the midterms,

00:59:24.560 you know, after our 250th anniversary,

00:59:26.960 the Iran war will wrap up one way or another,

00:59:29.120 gas prices will go down,

00:59:30.740 that I think people will be feeling,

00:59:32.340 boy, all right, maybe there's some things

00:59:34.260 that I didn't like about Trump

00:59:35.340 or I wasn't thrilled with the war

00:59:36.480 or this or that or the other thing,

00:59:37.640 but I'm not going full communist.

00:59:39.240 And that's what they're offering at this point.

00:59:41.140 And Americans are not communists.

00:59:42.680 Americans are not communists.

00:59:45.220 Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully.

00:59:47.580 For now.

00:59:49.220 I have to take a quick one-minute break and then come back,

00:59:51.800 and I want to talk to you about something.

00:59:52.760 You invited me to join you on something,

00:59:55.460 and unfortunately, I'm traveling.

00:59:56.820 I've just had so much travel in my schedule here in the next few months.

01:00:00.640 But you are doing something at the Fillmore in Miami Beach.

01:00:05.420 And Dave, as much as I love you,

01:00:07.360 and I love the people who are coming on stage,

01:00:10.200 you should have said, Glenn, it's at the Fillmore.

01:00:12.960 The Fillmore is known as the Jackie Gleason stage.

01:00:16.060 The Jackie Gleason Theater, yeah.

01:00:17.900 Oh, my gosh.

01:00:19.040 i am the biggest fan of jackie gleason just to be able to stand on that stage where jackie

01:00:23.840 gleason stood it would be true but i but i still i can't make it unfortunately uh but um i want to

01:00:30.900 talk about it because what you're doing i think is really really important and we'll we'll talk

01:00:34.180 about that here in 60 seconds first let me tell you about real estate agents i trust.com the

01:00:38.240 amazing thing about buying or selling a house everybody is uh everybody involved is stressed

01:00:43.040 out everybody is stressed out the buyer is stressed seller's stressed the mortgage guy is

01:00:46.560 stress. Somehow, even the family dog picks up and starts acting like he's going through a divorce

01:00:51.860 of some sort in the dog world. There's a lot of money involved, a lot of moving parts, and so

01:00:56.600 many opportunities for things to go sideways. Great real estate agents, they do more than just

01:01:01.840 unlock the doors and put a sign in your yard. They help you navigate the pricing, the negotiations,

01:01:06.120 the timing, the inspections, the contracts, the stress. They don't add more stress. They relieve

01:01:11.280 the stress. This is why I started Real Estate Agents I Trust. I spent years building a network

01:01:15.940 of agents all over the country who have been very carefully vetted for their experience,

01:01:20.580 their professionalism, and the way they treat you. Because if you're making the biggest financial

01:01:24.960 decision of your life, you deserve somebody in your corner who actually knows what they're doing.

01:01:29.460 Please check out realestateagentsitrust.com. We'll show you how to buy or sell a home,

01:01:33.900 even in this tough market. The name says it all, realestateagentsitrust.com. That's

01:01:38.520 realestateagentsitrust.com. Back in 10 seconds with more of Dave Rubin.

01:01:45.940 so on june 11th uh dave is going to be doing a show at the jackie gleason theater at the

01:02:02.160 philmore in miami beach uh and ben shapiro adam carolla jillian michaels are going to be there

01:02:18.280 record glenn beck you were the first guy that i contacted on this thing but i you know glenn beck

01:02:23.900 big star always traveling got a lot to do is what it is i'm sorry i dave you know me you know how i

01:02:30.380 feel about you i would have been there in a heartbeat i'm really sorry but it's okay it's

01:02:34.160 okay um no well really the idea behind this was you you know how much my life changed by coming 0.96

01:02:40.460 to this great free state of Florida, and I fought very hard against the Cali craziness 0.97

01:02:44.240 and all that, and I brought two companies here and all my employees and everything else,

01:02:48.260 and I really realized that DeSantis is in the waning time of his second term right now,

01:02:53.860 and I wanted to do a theater show with thousands of people where we could celebrate all the

01:03:01.420 goodness of Florida.

01:03:02.920 I'm going to write a Rubin Report show that morning off the day's news, so we'll do a

01:03:06.040 live show.

01:03:07.040 Adam Carolla is going to open up with a little stand-up.

01:03:09.920 It sounds like Ben Shapiro actually has to step out now, because his wife's about to

01:03:12.660 give birth.

01:03:13.660 So we might replace him with someone if you want to make a little bit of a change in your

01:03:17.840 schedule, my friend.

01:03:21.180 But then really to get-

01:03:23.180 So tempting.

01:03:24.180 To the moon, Alice. 0.97

01:03:26.020 Come on.

01:03:27.020 We'll do some Jackie Gleason stuff.

01:03:28.020 We can do it.

01:03:29.020 I know.

01:03:30.020 I know.

01:03:31.020 And then I'm going to do, it'll end with a, we'll do a Q&A and giveaways and all that

01:03:34.680 kind of stuff.

01:03:35.680 But then really do a nice half hour, 40 minutes sit down with the governor, where I want people

01:03:39.920 to get to see him in a little bit of a different light.

01:03:42.540 You know, I've been to dinners with him

01:03:44.520 where afterwards, you know, he has a whiskey

01:03:46.440 and he puts his feet up on the table

01:03:47.920 and he's smoking a cigar and he's talking about baseball.

01:03:50.320 And I don't know that people have sort of seen him that way.

01:03:52.360 They see him as this highly competent,

01:03:54.200 functioning executive, which is incredible

01:03:56.720 and thank God for that.

01:03:58.160 But I wanted people to see a little bit,

01:03:59.820 a little bit more than that in a really fun atmosphere.

01:04:02.080 So it's really gonna be a blast.

01:04:03.780 My whole goal with the entire thing

01:04:05.960 is if you come to that show at the Fillmore

01:04:08.780 the 11th of june uh you it will be two hours of laughter in good times we're not going to drub

01:04:13.500 you over the head with you know all the hardcore political stuff of the day we'll do some of it but

01:04:18.540 that's not the goal the goal is to just have a good time with with some great people i mean

01:04:22.060 jillian michaels as you know is just fantastic carol is amazing so it's jillian jillian and adam

01:04:27.820 they haven't moved from california have they i mean adam has been fighting newsome more than

01:04:33.820 than anybody for over a decade.

01:04:35.580 And for some reason he has not got out yet.

01:04:37.940 There's a rumor that he may be going to Vegas.

01:04:40.220 He's always threatening,

01:04:41.120 but I don't know that that's happened.

01:04:42.320 And Jillian, Jillian basically is out.

01:04:44.700 Yeah, I don't know if she wants me to say where she is,

01:04:46.440 but she's basically out.

01:04:48.140 I think she may have a little place there still.

01:04:50.140 So, but again, that's just such,

01:04:51.460 it's so illustrative of what Gavin Newsom

01:04:54.280 and what the modern Democrat party has done.

01:04:56.820 If you would have said to people 30 years ago,

01:04:58.840 boy, there's gonna be all of these people leaving California,

01:05:02.300 which was the dream of America.

01:05:04.220 In some sense, it made America go west, right?

01:05:06.820 And then all of these people,

01:05:08.620 these great people who are creative,

01:05:10.280 who have businesses,

01:05:11.120 who do all these interesting things,

01:05:12.780 that they would be fleeing en masse.

01:05:15.000 I mean, Gavin Newsom should be hanging his head in shame.

01:05:17.300 Instead, he's likely the nominee.

01:05:19.540 I know.

01:05:20.260 Dave Rubin, go to davrubin.com slash events.

01:06:05.720 hurt. You make that little sound every time that you stand up. You're like, and you think to

01:06:11.480 yourself after a while, okay, this is the way I die. For most of us, everyday aches and pains

01:06:15.780 are connected to inflammation. And that's why so many people have turned to Relief Factor. It was

01:06:49.600 guy actually boot the rhino susan collins in maine and will they vote in a gop governor all that next 1.00

01:06:55.280 on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:07:12.660 So we're living in a weird time.

01:07:14.860 We're living in a weird time.

01:07:15.980 Here is a quote from a Republican

01:07:18.020 that is running for governor in Maine.

01:07:20.860 America was built on the foundation

01:07:22.160 that no king, no religion, 0.50

01:07:23.340 no foreign law can override

01:07:24.400 the Constitution.

01:07:25.280 Let me be clear. Sharia law has no place in Maine's courtrooms, our schools, nor our government. Not now, not ever. We've seen what happens when Sharia takes hold. Women are banned from leaving their homes without male permission. Girls are pulled from schools, denied education. Victims of assault are punished rather than protected. These are not ancient relics. This is happening right now in countries all around the world here at home. 0.94

01:07:45.260 We've seen the attempts to lay groundwork in Texas.

01:07:47.720 Planners push a vision for Epic City, a self-governing Islamic enclave designed to operate outside America law. 0.83

01:07:55.120 Every person in this state of Maine, regardless of their faith, deserves to live under the same set of laws. 0.58

01:07:59.380 One standard, the Constitution, equal protection for every man and woman.

01:08:03.000 As governor of Maine, I will always put our constitutional values first.

01:08:06.360 Religious freedom means the right to worship as you choose.

01:08:09.100 It does not mean replacing American law with a foreign legal system.

01:08:13.140 Maine families deserve a governor who will stand up and say what others are afraid to say.

01:08:16.680 I am that candidate.

01:08:17.940 Our laws, our values, the Constitution.

01:08:20.580 Get out and vote June 9th.

01:08:22.960 That is the guy who's running for governor of Maine named Bobby Charles.

01:08:26.720 And at the same time, people are being asked to vote where you've got the Democrat running for the Senate.

01:08:34.220 He said, quote, what Nazi tattoo?

01:08:38.100 Whoops, that was a Nazi symbol?

01:08:40.600 I didn't know that.

01:08:41.200 I mean, it's just the strangest time I've ever, I've ever seen in the United States.

01:08:45.540 Bobby Charles running for governor of Maine joins me now.

01:08:48.660 Hey, Bobby, how are you?

01:08:50.260 Hey, it's a pleasure.

01:08:51.380 It's truly a privilege, Glenn.

01:08:53.040 I listened to you all the time on the radio and I, I realized, nope, I'm going to have

01:08:56.640 to get in a suit and tie because I'm really up here on television with him.

01:09:01.480 Well, it's good to, it's good to have you.

01:09:03.300 So, um, how are, how are things in Maine?

01:09:06.340 Cause I don't know what the hell happened to Maine.

01:09:08.440 at one point maine was well let me ask you this was it stephen king living there is that what

01:09:13.440 happened it just got yeah i think i think we're seeing remnants of the shining everywhere now

01:09:18.460 yeah i i will tell you glenn we i grew up in this state and we were norman rockwell's america we were

01:09:25.320 world war ii values you know that that's what we were i grew up working from the age of 12

01:09:29.940 everything about this state was more or less wholesome and now we've got the highest property

01:09:35.560 taxes in the country with one of the lowest per capita incomes. We've got high income taxes. We've

01:09:40.640 got drug traffickers everywhere, 8,000 overdoses. We've got the highest energy costs, the highest

01:09:46.220 jump last year, 36 percent, because they pushed all this solar and wind crap everywhere. Our

01:09:51.960 schools, and this is a shocker, our schools were actually at the top of the nation in the mid-90s

01:09:57.640 and at the end of the McKernan administration, and they are now number 50, according to U.S.

01:10:02.300 News and World Report, and they're shot through with woe. And then the last point that I just

01:10:07.020 have to leave you with, because it'll resonate with you, and particularly since what you just

01:10:10.660 read, we are like a mini Minnesota for fraud. We have, it's not just Somali fraud, and it is

01:10:16.620 Somali fraud, but it's everywhere in this state. We have a state that in general, the average 1.00

01:10:22.180 Mainer cannot trust. And that really, three years ago, is part of what got me off the couch and

01:10:27.240 said, you know, Bobby, you can sit around here and carp and listen to Glenn Beck about what all

01:10:31.340 good people should go out and do, or you can go out and do it. And I really do believe good people

01:10:36.700 have to act. What did Edmund Burke say? All it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to

01:10:42.060 do nothing. And I'm just not going to be that person. So what's your background? Why are you

01:10:47.840 qualified for this? Yeah, so it's an interesting background. I do truly believe, even as you and I

01:10:53.480 sit here today and people listen and watch, I believe that God puts us where we are meant to

01:10:58.780 be, all of us, that just at this very moment, this is where we are meant to be. And my life

01:11:05.200 experience was growing up working for World War II vets through 17, 18. My father never went to

01:11:12.060 college. He was enlisted Navy. I ended up, my mom was a school teacher who for a lot of the time

01:11:17.040 raised the four of us. And she just said, you got to go out and get an education, Bobby. We had no

01:11:21.640 money, zip. We had no electric heat. We chopped wood to be able to heat the house. But, you know,

01:11:28.560 on a wish and a prayer. I ended up at Dartmouth, Oxford University, studying economics, Columbia

01:11:34.160 Law School, the Reagan White House clerked for a U.S. Court of Appeals clerk, Reagan appointee

01:11:40.920 on the Ninth Circuit. So that was like a little patch of heaven in the middle of hell. And then

01:11:45.140 I became assistant secretary of state and I had 10 years Navy intelligence and I've run a company

01:11:52.180 for 25 years helping the Pentagon. So and law enforcement was a huge part of what I've done

01:11:57.160 for the last 30 years. So I look back here, I come to Maine and I say, you know, it really was

01:12:01.900 other people who said to me, Bobby, look at this. You managed billions of dollars. You know, you

01:12:07.180 shut down bureaucrats at the State Department. I was responsible for training all the Iraqi police

01:12:12.100 and Afghan police. I set that up as Dave Petraeus did the military side. And you've managed big

01:12:18.660 projects. You helped bring down the Cali cartel. You're all about counter-narcotics. You did all

01:12:23.000 the CD training for the National Guard for decades. You're the guy that can help fix the

01:12:28.040 drug problem, both on the addiction side, frankly, and on the law enforcement side.

01:12:32.680 You're all about fraud. For five years, I was Gingrich's, one of his top

01:12:36.040 federal investigators. I did the Waco hearings, all those hearings. And, you know, Gingrich

01:12:42.060 supported me. Mises supported me. People say, you just got to get out there and go do it, Bobby.

01:12:47.560 And so I feel like it's like a puzzle piece, Glenn. The problems of the state of Maine match

01:12:52.660 with the the life experience that god has given me even though if you asked me five years ago i

01:12:58.760 would have never thought about it and i in terms of governorship i was just waiting for ronald

01:13:03.020 reagan to show up and i would have supported him and made everything good um you have we get calls

01:13:09.840 from listeners in maine all the time that say uh china is in our state and they are running these 0.62

01:13:16.380 these drug farms and nobody's doing anything about it well you're absolutely right go ahead 0.77

01:13:22.640 Yeah, no, to answer, preempt your question, but sorry. Yes, of course. We have three major groups of drug traffickers up here, the Chinese triads that run between 300 and 400 of these grow houses, illegal marijuana that they put fentanyl on and distribute, which, of course, damages northwest, east and south.

01:13:44.720 that damages people. And, you know, I can't tell you the number of overdoses tied to them, 0.90

01:13:50.020 but I will tell you that fentanyl on their marijuana is a major issue. And I will also

01:13:54.780 tell you that we have between 8,000 and 10,000 overdoses a year in this state,

01:13:59.820 hundreds and hundreds of fatal overdoses. You know, a comparable state like South Dakota has 65.

01:14:06.040 So we can do better. The second thing I'll tell you is that we have the Sinaloa cartel up here.

01:14:11.740 It's a major problem. They have gutted the state police. People don't even want a lateral into this

01:14:16.120 state to do law enforcement. We will reverse all of that. And we have the Trinitarians.

01:14:20.280 What do you mean? How have they gutted it? 1.00

01:14:22.180 Oh, my God. I've been all over this state. Local law enforcement is literally being defunded.

01:14:27.580 They've defunded big chunks of the state police. They've taken their authorities away. When they

01:14:31.560 try to arrest people on 95, they're accused of racial profiling. So, of course, they default to

01:14:36.500 not arresting people. We know where these drugs are coming from, the fentanyl, the meth, the

01:14:41.000 heroin, the crack cocaine in larger quantities than we have ever, ever seen here and in larger

01:14:46.120 purities. We know where it's coming from, Glenn. It's coming from very specific points in Boston,

01:14:51.580 New York, and Connecticut. And we know how it's getting here. It's getting here up through 95,

01:14:56.180 Lawrence and Lowell. We can almost, I mean, I talk to DEA every week. We can almost pick out

01:15:01.440 the cars, but we don't do it because this governor, Governor Mills, has deauthorized and defunded huge

01:15:07.460 chunks of the state police. I was up at the Holton, uh, Northern border, uh, state police

01:15:12.160 outpost not long ago, and they were down 41% in Manning. Look, they have, they have, they have

01:15:17.920 literally favored the illegal aliens. They they've turned this into a sanctuary state. And a lot of

01:15:23.400 the illegals are show up in those Chinese grow houses. I mean, we have almost 8,000 illegals in

01:15:28.740 this state. I will wire brush them out of this state starting day one. Tell me about the person 1.00

01:15:36.160 running that you're going to be running against uh i mean you're it's looking really good for the

01:15:40.980 primary obviously um but if if you become the candidate who who is the the democrat what are

01:15:48.280 they running as you know it's interesting and i'm gonna i'm gonna give you a little preemptive here

01:15:54.780 again just a simple statement democrats and independents the traditional democrats and

01:16:01.220 traditional independents or unaffiliated voters are just as sick and tired of all these high taxes,

01:16:07.800 overreach, overregulation, drugs everywhere, schools that can't be trusted as Republicans.

01:16:12.780 And so one of the things that's happening here is that traditional Democrats and independents

01:16:18.160 are calling me, joining me, literally almost in a revival type way at some of our meetings,

01:16:23.420 turning into Republicans on the spot, pledging to register as Republicans, because they can't

01:16:29.600 fathom that the candidates on the other side, and you mentioned Graham Plattner earlier in the

01:16:34.840 Senate race, but that the candidates, Glenn, on the other side are so utterly morally bankrupt

01:16:40.060 and dedicated essentially to putting bad money after bad. So the candidates are, you know,

01:16:46.100 we have this guy named Nirav Shah, who's like the Fauci of Maine, who shut down 55% of our

01:16:52.680 businesses, shut down our schools, shut down our churches. He's a complete-

01:16:58.300 No, he's a horror story.

01:16:59.680 And there's no way that Mainers are going to vote for that guy.

01:17:02.160 Then you've got Hannah Pingree, the daughter of Shelley Pingree, who is the one who set

01:17:06.880 up these new American offices and has imported all these illegal aliens.

01:17:11.000 And she's basically a carbon copy of Janet Mills, who has incidentally endorsed her. 0.98

01:17:15.720 You've got Shanna Bellows, who is the one that threw Trump off the ballot, lost hundreds 0.95

01:17:20.680 of ballots, refuses to disgorge names to the federal government under subpoena.

01:17:26.360 And then who else have you got?

01:17:27.380 you got Troy Jackson in a funny little twist. And my God, you know, Maine is a small state,

01:17:32.000 but we're a damn interesting state. We had a funny little mix because now we're very interesting. I

01:17:38.420 mean, and when I get off this show, you know, I'll be running around in my plaid shirt because it's

01:17:42.580 how we grew up. We're very simple minded. I guess we are a very simple, common sense based Norman

01:17:48.080 Rockwell value based state. And that's why all this is looking so goofy to a lot of Mainers that,

01:17:53.860 the Democrats have thrown up these candidates. But another one is this guy, Troy Jackson,

01:17:57.860 who was head of the Senate, who decided that he would elevate himself by debating me,

01:18:04.480 even in the primaries. So I said, let's go for it. Bring it, brother. And so we did it and

01:18:09.460 just crushed him. And I think that's what's going to happen here in the general. We have so much to

01:18:16.120 gain. We're only a couple of seats away, Glenn, from controlling the House, the Senate, the

01:18:21.540 governorship, and I will strip the Supreme Court of all seven of its justices. They get seven-year

01:18:27.320 terms. They all come due in that four-year term. We will put constitutional conservatives on our

01:18:31.920 Supreme Court. Oh, my gosh. That's almost worth moving to Maine to be able to vote up there for.

01:18:37.920 I mean, holy cow, that's huge. It is. Can I just ask you, and you don't have to comment on this,

01:18:45.640 But as somebody who is not there, you don't know what to believe.

01:18:51.220 You're just seeing, you know, America's watching what's happening in Maine from a distance and you're not involved in the everyday back and forth.

01:18:59.880 But planner, I mean, that, I mean, it's, it's, I mean, there's no way no one would get the break of, oh, gee, I didn't know that was a Nazi symbol.

01:19:11.940 coupled with all of some of the crazy things that this guy has said is that really who the main

01:19:19.900 democrat is so you know it's a great question not one that is people ask it every day of ourselves

01:19:27.860 i mean i think i think democrats are asking of themselves i've asked the other democrats in the

01:19:32.840 gubernatorial to uh disavow him and they've chosen not to so far i i assume they will not disavow him

01:19:39.460 you know they're scraping the bottom of the barrel is what it boils down to here 0.73

01:19:44.440 Mills was completely shooed out because she's a failure and all these other democrats running for

01:19:50.180 governor are carbon copies of her failure but Graham Plattner is essentially a farce who is

01:19:56.060 very well funded he is a you know the national democrat party I'm sure are just oohing and

01:20:01.680 eyeing over him. He presents well. He is a Nazi, communist, let's see, woman-hating, minority-hating,

01:20:10.120 veteran-hating guy who somehow has grabbed national attention. I think he's a complete 0.99

01:20:17.320 farce. And at the end of the day, I think he's like a bubble that pops toward the end of the

01:20:21.520 cycle, the same way that others around the country who have thrown up just crazy people pop.

01:20:27.060 But, you know, the problem is right now the Democrat Party in Maine, Glenn, has no one to reach to. They have no bench. There is no high integrity, I don't know what you'd want to call it, an Ed Muskie-style Democrat up here.

01:20:42.420 And frankly, we have lost the con. We had Margaret Chase Smith. We had people who were real, I think, believers in Maine first. You know, they didn't tolerate a lack of integrity. They didn't tolerate this kind of, I could use other words for it, but they're probably not on air good words to use.

01:21:01.600 They just, this guy is a complete farce, but it's because literally the Democrat party has no one to put up that has high integrity, that has delivered anything.

01:21:13.060 And all those things I talked to you about, the high property taxes, highest in the country, high income taxes, they just raised the income tax again.

01:21:20.820 They just raised sales tax again.

01:21:22.240 Our schools that are at the very bottom, the drug traffickers everywhere, the energy costs.

01:21:26.920 The Democrats own all of these things, Glenn.

01:21:29.060 They own every single one of these failures.

01:21:31.600 So Plattner's just like, I don't know, flavor of the day.

01:21:35.140 Grab a guy that'll get some media attention and get money.

01:21:38.420 I hope he is a balloon that pops in the end.

01:21:41.180 Robert Bobby Charles.

01:21:43.060 You can find his website, Bobby for Maine, F-O-R, Bobby for Maine.com.

01:21:47.680 Follow him on X at Bobby for Maine.

01:21:50.300 Bobby, best of luck.

01:21:52.560 I hope you become the governor.

01:21:54.880 Thank you, Glenn.

01:21:55.500 We're up by double digits in all seven polls.

01:21:58.300 So I hope we're on our way.

01:21:59.440 But you know what?

01:22:00.000 It's through the tape every time.

01:22:01.420 So thank you.

01:22:02.460 I know it is.

01:22:03.180 I know it is.

01:22:03.640 Thank you.

01:22:04.180 Appreciate it.

01:22:04.960 All right.

01:22:05.420 Let me tell you about our sponsor.

01:22:06.440 Let's pray America.

01:22:07.200 I mean,

01:22:07.620 real prayer that kind of,

01:22:09.440 uh,

01:22:09.900 that kind of happens.

01:22:11.380 Um,

01:22:12.200 real prayer when somebody is scared or heartbroken or overwhelmed or desperate for God to intervene.

01:22:17.400 And then we promise to make all kinds of promises.

01:22:19.220 And then we're like,

01:22:19.880 Oh,

01:22:20.120 I'm wet.

01:22:20.600 I,

01:22:21.380 yeah.

01:22:21.800 Okay.

01:22:22.260 Forget about that.

01:22:23.000 This time I'm going to change.

01:22:23.980 Can you help me on this real prayer?

01:22:26.660 Um,

01:22:27.020 not from some formal religious exercise.

01:22:29.560 real prayer is a lifeline and one of those things i know because i have seen it i have been there

01:22:35.760 and i have seen that god often answers prayers through people through the people who show up

01:22:41.540 the people who give the people who help the people who decide they're not just going to stand there

01:22:46.280 while other people suffer that's one of the reasons i'm proud to support the international

01:22:50.720 fellowship of christians and jews and they provide food and shelter medical care emergency assistance

01:22:56.360 to Jewish families, children, elderly people all around the world who are in very difficult

01:23:01.960 circumstances and those in Israel that are the same. If you want to support the Jewish people,

01:23:07.700 you may not support the politics of Israel. That's not what God asked you to do. Support 0.99

01:23:12.340 his people. Support and stand with the Jewish people who feel very alone right now. Go to

01:23:18.300 Pray ifcj.org.

01:23:20.720 Pray ifcj.org.

01:23:22.860 Just submit a prayer today.

01:23:24.920 Pray ifcj.org.

01:23:30.940 You're going to be thinking about that for a couple minutes, huh?

01:23:34.820 Glenn Beck will be right back.

01:24:06.640 short. Welcome aboard KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. Our crew is here to give you a trip home that

01:24:11.660 goes just as planned. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. When you travel, travel well.

01:24:25.020 So there is something that has really bothered me since I was over in Europe. And it's a sense

01:24:31.160 that we are on the verge of something big with Europe in not a good way.

01:24:38.180 And I found some things to back this up, and I want to share this.

01:24:43.460 It's kind of a look over the horizon, but I think it's a very short horizon.

01:24:48.140 And I'll share that next.

01:25:01.160 We'll be right back.

01:25:31.160 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

01:25:41.800 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:45.700 Glenn Beck is on.

01:25:49.440 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:52.560 I want to have a conversation with you about something that I think is coming.

01:25:57.480 and this is over the horizon and this is just my gut so it could be completely wrong

01:26:02.040 um but i'm i'm generally pretty good on these things um but there's some concerns and you know

01:26:09.900 when i i'm better at understanding things when i am standing there wherever that is and i've

01:26:19.180 been trying to figure out what's going on with europe um and it and i i could understand it

01:26:26.120 intellectually but until i was standing there on vacation it didn't it didn't gel and now coming

01:26:33.560 back i feel i really need to talk to you about something because i think there's something over

01:26:40.060 the short-term horizon that you really need to pay attention something is happening in the world

01:26:44.600 um and i'm not sure exactly how it is going to manifest itself but uh some disturbing things

01:26:50.640 are happening. And I want you to be informed so you won't be surprised if these things happen.

01:26:58.000 First, let me tell you about American financing. A lot of people feel really stuck right now.

01:27:02.600 You know, on one hand, they've built up a lot of equity in their homes over the years.

01:27:06.020 The other hand, you're looking at a very low mortgage rate, you know, and you're looking

01:27:09.600 at like it's a family heirloom to protect at all costs. And I get it. If you're locked into a

01:27:15.240 really good rate, if you did that a few years ago, the idea of refinancing your mortgage is a

01:27:19.480 horrible idea right however you need some breathing room um but getting rid of that i mean you might

01:27:26.180 as well just throw yourself in a wood chip um you need a smart equity loan from american financing

01:27:33.300 here's here's why if you're trying to have more breathing room or you know maybe just get out of

01:27:38.420 the high interest credit cards this thing allows you to take some of your equity and use it without

01:27:44.860 resetting your whole mortgage. Okay. So do you take a interest rate of 25% on your credit cards

01:27:51.860 and you, you get some equity, uh, out of your house and you're using that. Uh, and maybe that's

01:27:57.680 5%, but you're getting to keep your low mortgage on everything else. That's saving you 25 points

01:28:03.440 all the time. I mean, that that's a huge amount of money. Find out without any upfront fees to

01:28:09.200 see if you even qualify for this, but it's a smart way to have that breathing room that you

01:28:13.400 might need right now, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

01:28:21.900 NMLS 1-82334, NMLSConsumerAccess.org. APR for Ritz and the Five starts at 6.799%

01:28:27.620 for well-qualified borrowers. Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

01:28:33.320 Now, I would like to respond to one story that's in the news today,

01:28:37.240 that the left is freaking out because the word retarded is making a comeback.

01:28:41.740 but my response i think deserves some thought and some craft uh and so i'm going to take the day and

01:28:57.080 come back to you with my response for the left there's freaking out that the word retarded is

01:29:03.260 coming back and that will be on tomorrow's program you don't want to miss that um now

01:29:10.060 i have mellowed i've mellowed in my in my uh my late latter days i have mellowed quite a bit

01:29:19.680 or have i um that'll be on tomorrow's program i want to talk to you about something that i

01:29:25.620 i talked to jason about when i first got back jason are you with us um and i i got back and

01:29:34.200 i said look i think europe's in real real trouble and germany is in big trouble um and jason's been

01:29:41.900 doing some homework and he came back because he was like i don't i don't know what you're talking

01:29:45.720 about and i said just start looking into it as a researcher start looking into it and he came back

01:29:50.140 to me today and he's like okay okay all right i'm concerned because there's lots of things that are

01:29:55.280 happening. The USMCA, which is the treaty between Mexico, the US, and Canada, it's in the middle of

01:30:02.940 being negotiated right now, and they're running out of time. And if that thing isn't negotiated

01:30:06.760 and isn't negotiated right, holy cow, is that a bad thing? Because all of our parts are made

01:30:15.940 in different... Your car, it's made partly in Canada, partly in Mexico, partly here.

01:30:19.820 i mean what does this mean if it all falls apart but i wanted to go through uh what i'm feeling

01:30:27.720 about germany and and i want you to understand i want you to think of the of europe as the european

01:30:36.280 union and that all of these countries over there are just like states their germany is their texas

01:30:46.220 and florida okay everything else like france is is their california england might be their new york

01:30:56.840 and those are the strong ones outside of of canada it'd be like if you get rid of germany

01:31:05.500 it would be as if the united states got rid of every productive state in the union and you were

01:31:13.620 left with new york maine vermont rhode island new jersey california oregon and washington it would

01:31:21.940 not be good right you think the economy would be good if that was the u.s no germany is the machine

01:31:30.280 shop of the western world has been for a long time if you bought a luxury car there was a good chance

01:31:36.100 it came from germany you walk into any factory anywhere on earth and odds were very high that

01:31:42.580 the machines, the best machines that were inside that building, no matter where you were, were

01:31:47.620 coming from Germany. Their chemical plants powered Europe, BASF, okay? Their steel mills fed industry.

01:31:57.280 Engineers were the backbone of modern manufacturing. German ingenuity, German craftsmanship,

01:32:05.020 almost as good as German chocolate cake. People were doing serious work. Not anymore.

01:32:12.580 there's some information that is coming out of Germany right now.

01:32:16.400 Their German corporate tax revenue, listen to this,

01:32:21.420 their German corporate tax revenue collapsed in January almost 80%.

01:32:30.260 It's worth pausing so you can think about that number.

01:32:36.620 An 80% collapse in their tax revenue from their corporations.

01:32:42.180 Now you can fake growth statistics. You can message inflation numbers. You can even redefine

01:32:51.160 unemployment, but tax receipts, you can't fake those. When businesses stop making money,

01:32:58.120 your taxes that the companies are paying goes way down. And I mean way down, I would think 40%,

01:33:05.600 30% would be way down. 80% is a bloodbath. Tax revenue is the pulse of the real economy.

01:33:14.220 This is Germany. This is Florida and Texas combined for Europe. Industrial production

01:33:20.760 in Germany has fallen by more than 15% from pre-2020 levels. These aren't COVID levels.

01:33:27.600 this is pre-2020, 15%. Energy-intensive industries are crushed right now. German

01:33:35.480 chemical production is down roughly 20%. Some sectors are down 30%. BASF, that's one of the

01:33:46.340 largest chemical companies in the world. They are permanently downsizing in Germany and moving

01:33:52.880 their investment to china and the united states good for us bad for them now think about how

01:34:01.860 insane that is germany built one of the greatest industrial systems in all of human history

01:34:07.700 then german leaders made energy too expensive to sustain it the electricity prices in germany for

01:34:15.460 the industry exploded after the loss of Russian gas.

01:34:20.840 Some factories saw the cost of energy double or triple.

01:34:27.040 Thousands of companies either shut down, cut production, or moved overseas.

01:34:32.620 Listen to this stat.

01:34:34.280 In 2025 alone, 100,000 German businesses closed.

01:34:42.080 think about that if i said to you 100 000 businesses in florida closed down 100 000

01:34:52.280 businesses in texas closed down in one year would you think that would be a good thing

01:34:58.660 or would that be just that number would be good god what's happening to texas add 80 tax revenue

01:35:09.040 a decrease of 80 percent in one month i don't i think we would be panicking yeah and we should

01:35:18.880 be insurgents in insurgencies insolvencies are now surging at levels in germany that they have

01:35:26.120 not seen in decades volkswagen is closing a plant inside of germany volkswagen okay closing a plant

01:35:38.020 And you know what they're going to do?

01:35:39.100 They're closing one plant and they are leasing that plant.

01:35:42.780 They're shutting Volkswagen out and they're leasing that plant to China for, what is it?

01:35:53.380 BDU, I think is the name of the country company.

01:35:55.580 They make, they say they make more cars than anybody else.

01:35:57.860 It's China.

01:35:58.880 So I'm sure they're lying, but this is a car company that is now moving from China and

01:36:04.380 taking the Volkswagen plant.

01:36:06.380 volkswagen that that's impossible 10 years ago volkswagen volkswagen is germany it's like

01:36:16.500 mercedes-benz the company volkswagen has never closed a domestic plant since world war ii

01:36:26.280 why why are they talking about this now

01:36:32.640 because a nation can't survive when it declares war on cheap energy manufacturing and work

01:36:40.160 a modern country runs on steel on electricity on chemicals on trucking on mining on farming

01:36:48.260 on heavy industry and all of those things are being taxed to death or destroyed because of

01:36:55.160 the EU politics. You can't replace all of that stuff with slogans about climate justice.

01:37:05.740 Reality always sends the bill, and the bill is coming due in Europe. It's arriving in every

01:37:13.580 capital of Europe. Germany's economy has barely grown in the last two years. Some quarters

01:37:21.040 actually it got smaller manufacturing orders keep falling export demand is weakening the middle

01:37:29.380 class is getting squeezed you know how much they're paying for a gallon of gas over there

01:37:34.220 ten dollars a gallon ten that makes california look cheap and do you know why it costs so much

01:37:43.920 this is going to make california look sane they're they're charging that because the eu

01:37:50.660 has a five dollar a gallon tax for green energy meanwhile there is no green energy

01:38:00.100 and the german people are feeling it i just want to throw this in

01:38:04.380 when you humiliate the german people when you take their pride away when you take their work

01:38:14.840 away when you take their money away gee historically speaking what do the german people do

01:38:20.520 this is not a good thing

01:38:22.620 this country was the stable country this is the one remember

01:38:30.220 the reason why places like greece love being in the eu is because germany was paying

01:38:37.040 for all of their retirement okay it was the german taxpayer and the german industry was

01:38:42.580 paying 90 tax decrease with for the receipts what do you think's going to happen to greece

01:38:50.040 and italy and everybody else that germans have been holding up meanwhile the german people are

01:38:56.020 a little divided, a little angry, a little anxious. Farmers now are blocking the roads

01:39:01.780 with tractors. Why? Maybe because they can't even afford the fuel to get off of the street with

01:39:07.680 their tractors. Workers are protesting the layoffs. Companies that are closing down,

01:39:13.020 they can't fire them. In Germany, you can't fire them. So even though you're not making anything,

01:39:18.720 you have to still pay them. Well, that's going to work out.

01:39:25.220 Political parties that were considered the fringe are now rising because millions of people

01:39:32.540 no longer believe the ruling class is listening to them. How long have I said this? Everyone who

01:39:39.420 is concerned about Nazis, why don't you start responding to the people and listen to the people?

01:39:46.940 because once the people have gone through every single party and done their part and elected

01:39:53.420 somebody else that said, I'm going to fix it. I'm going to fix it. I'm going to fix it.

01:39:56.480 And then they get into office and they betray you and they don't fix it. They become part of

01:40:02.080 the problem. They make it worse. You're left with crazy people who will say, oh, I'll fix it.

01:40:10.160 Okay. This is the part that every American needs to understand. That's about Germany. Let me make 0.54

01:41:56.960 world germany is not collapsing because germans are lazy or stupid they're not germany has 0.99

01:42:05.100 brilliant engineers. Germany has really great skilled workers, great companies, 0.99

01:42:11.960 strong families. It's a little like America. So what's the problem? The system has failed because

01:42:21.780 the leadership forgot a basic truth. Civilization depends on production. You may not like it.

01:42:32.340 it might be so dirty. It might be so bad for the environment. You stop production. You don't

01:42:39.760 have a country anymore. You have to feed people. Somebody has to build cars. Somebody has to run

01:42:48.200 the power plants. Somebody has to refine the fuel. Somebody has to make the machine tools.

01:42:54.560 Somebody has to keep the lights on. And we have been such, I can only think of bad words.

01:43:02.340 we are such wieners. There isn't a man within the sound of my voice.

01:43:12.420 Every man knows there are things you've got to do.

01:43:17.320 You got to do that. You want to survive? I'm sorry. You may not like it. You got to do it.

01:43:23.500 A country survives when work has dignity and industry has support.

01:43:28.080 Germany began treating industry like a moral problem instead of the foundation of modern life

01:43:35.920 and that poison has spread through the universities and the media and the politics and the corporate

01:43:42.060 boardrooms energy became nothing but political kabuki theater climate targets it's a religion

01:43:49.300 it's not fact it's not science it's a religion and all the leaders chase the applause at conferences

01:43:56.720 while their factories are quietly dying or are now dead and buried.

01:44:01.640 And it's happening all over the Western world.

01:44:04.720 And now Europe's strongest economy, Europe's Texas and Florida is collapsing.

01:44:15.520 I want you to hear this warning, America.

01:44:17.660 It's sitting right in front of you.

01:44:19.680 We are closing power plants while demand for electricity is exploding.

01:44:24.420 we are drowning builders and manufacturers in regulation we are teaching young americans

01:44:31.060 that office activism matters more than making something real we don't even know what's real

01:44:36.900 anymore we import what we used to build ourselves a nation that has lost its confidence because it

01:44:45.240 loses the ability to produce and that's what this story is all about germany is showing the world

01:44:51.380 what happens when a country slowly disconnects from physical reality and it's not the people,

01:44:57.880 it's the politicians of Germany. An economy can survive bad leaders for a season. A nation can

01:45:05.460 survive corruption for a season. People can survive inflation for a season. But no country,

01:45:12.520 no civilization survives after it forgets how to build, what the truth actually looks like.

01:45:22.180 And that's the lesson.

01:45:25.680 Now, here's the hopeful part.

01:45:29.820 The people in Germany, I don't know about France, but in England, they still know how to build.

01:45:36.060 Workers are still there.

01:45:37.180 The engineers are still there.

01:45:38.580 The craftsmen are still there.

01:45:40.500 The people, the patriots of the country that don't want to dominate the whole world just want Germany to be Germany, want America to be America, England to be England.

01:45:49.260 They are still there and they want a future.

01:45:53.800 A nation can recover when it just remembers what made it strong in the first place.

01:45:59.160 We're the country that built the Hoover Dam and the interstate highway system,

01:46:03.100 the arsenal of democracy, the Saturn V rocket,

01:46:06.440 the greatest middle class the world has ever seen.

01:46:08.860 It is time we get back to doing the things that built those people,

01:46:14.320 that made us the industrial giant within a generation.

01:46:20.000 Humans still know how to do things.

01:46:22.120 What we're missing now is the courage to say plainly what prosperity is built on.

01:46:29.220 All right.

01:46:30.140 More in just a second.

01:46:31.280 Let me tell you, our sponsor this half hour is the Berna Launcher.

01:46:34.940 There are a lot of products out there that can claim to give you peace of mind.

01:46:38.500 Most of them basically are just expensive versions of, you know, crossing your fingers.

01:46:42.580 But the Berna Launcher is different.

01:46:44.160 And right now they are offering a special, the latest generation burner launcher for $100 off, which makes it a really good time to look into something that could actually help you protect yourself and your family.

01:46:55.500 Because the reality is many people don't want to carry a gun or they can't because they live in some God forsaken place like California.

01:47:03.480 They want an option that gives them a way to defend themselves without having to make a lethal decision in a moment of panic.

01:47:08.940 And that's where the burner launcher comes in.

01:47:10.480 And it fires powerful kinetic chemical irritant projectiles that can help stop a threat from a safe distance, giving you time to escape and get help.

01:47:44.580 Celebrate America's 250 and get entertaining education for all ages to defend our freedom

01:47:49.400 all summer long, only at glennbeck.com slash torch.

01:48:08.240 Hey, there's really good news. Crime is down in Los Angeles. It's safe to go back again.

01:48:15.260 Is it? Is it really? Uh, I have to go spend a week this summer in Los Angeles and I would

01:48:22.280 rather, I really think, I mean, not on the, on the wrong side of the gates, but I think I'd

01:48:27.440 rather vacation at the gates of hell than spend a week in Los Angeles. Um, but you know, the LA

01:48:36.120 times they're saying no no no no no crime is it's safe again to be in la you know i'd like to check

01:48:42.560 on that um uh rafael mangual is with us he is a uh fellow at the manhattan institute he's been

01:48:50.400 crunching the numbers how how safe is it rafael certainly not as safe as the la times wanted to

01:48:57.800 make it out to be uh with that ridiculous headline look i think you're you're going to see a lot of

01:49:03.340 this over the next year or so, as some of the cities take advantage of the broader declines

01:49:08.760 in homicides and shootings specifically. And they're going to try to paint this as a massive

01:49:14.700 improvement in safety overall. And the reality is, is that crime and public safety are matters

01:49:21.260 of much more than simply one or two crime measures. And sure, LA has absolutely improved

01:49:27.500 things on the homicide front, on the shooting front, and they deserve credit for that.

01:49:31.740 Can we stop here? Wait, wait, before you go on, let me stop there. How? How did they stop that? Because that is great. It's great. Yes. How did that stop?

01:49:40.500 It is great. I think it's a combination of factors, right? I think you had a massive increase in serious violence in 2020 and 2021 that finally started to come under control in 2022. And I think that probably had what's called an incapacitative effect, meaning that a lot of that extrajudicial killing ended up taking off the board a lot of individuals who would have continued to offend.

01:50:05.400 If you look at it, it's kind of it's kind of a dark thought.

01:50:11.020 But if you look at the sort of typical profile of your median homicide suspect and you compare it to your median homicide victim, they don't really look all that different.

01:50:19.240 They tend to have very similar criminal histories, very similar likelihoods of being in gangs.

01:50:23.920 So when you have this massive uptick in the number of offenders being killed by other offenders, you know, it results in a reduction in the overall pool of potential offenders.

01:50:33.480 Then you have everything that happened after COVID. You have massive changes in routine activities. Fewer people are going into the office. More people are working from home. More people are shopping from home. Americans on average are spending about 65 minutes more a day at home. What does this mean? It means that they're spending less time in places where they might be criminally victimized.

01:50:53.720 So when you combine some of those factors with the fact that L.A. got a new D.A. in 2024, George Gascon lost his reelection bid to Nate Hogman, who ran on a tough on crime platform.

01:51:05.320 You had Prop 36 in 2024, which rolled back some of Prop 47 in the state of California, which gave police more ammunition to use against the criminal class.

01:51:15.440 You have more people getting arrested, more people going to jail.

01:51:18.000 I think that enforcement has something to do with why we're seeing reductions in at least those crime categories that we know police are concentrating on most heavily because they have limited resources.

01:51:29.640 But again, this is only a small part of the story.

01:51:33.640 The rest of the public safety picture, particularly in L.A., looks god-awful.

01:51:38.700 You have massive problems of public order, people using drugs and selling drugs right out in the open, homeless encampments, petty theft.

01:51:47.160 this sort of thing, all of which contributes to legitimately the average American's perception

01:51:52.960 of public safety. And this is one of the things that I think the American left has forgotten.

01:51:57.540 Okay. So let me talk about the perception. The LA Times can say, you know, murder rate is down

01:52:03.800 and it could be down and that's great. Congratulations on that. But perception is

01:52:11.080 reality. What is the average person's perception slash reality on how safe it is to walk the

01:52:21.220 streets in California? I think they have, I think people rightly perceive Los Angeles to be in a

01:52:29.820 state of disorder. When you walk the streets of a major American city and you see people shooting

01:52:35.800 heroin into the veins between their toes in broad daylight, that sends a signal that we process as

01:52:42.620 follows. We see people engaging in antisocial behavior out in the open. We understand their

01:52:48.960 actions to be or to reflect the lack of control in that public space, right? If this individual

01:52:54.620 feels comfortable doing something that is clearly both against the law and just socially unacceptable,

01:53:00.200 they are confident that nobody's going to intervene. When somebody walks into a CVS

01:53:04.440 casually with a garbage bag and fills it with the things that aren't behind plexiglass,

01:53:09.560 right, that sends a signal that nobody is in charge in that public space.

01:53:13.720 And this was sort of the brilliant insight of the broken windows theory, because when

01:53:16.940 people are confronted with visible signs of disorder in public, they process that in a

01:53:22.880 logical way.

01:53:23.420 They say, well, if nobody is going to intervene in this person's clearly aberrant behavior,

01:53:28.580 then no one's going to intervene if that person decides to turn around and try to victimize

01:53:32.600 me, which means that I'm not safe.

01:53:34.440 I lived through the Rudy Giuliani years in New York where I remember praying, please dear God, don't turn red at this stoplight.

01:53:46.760 Please don't turn red at this stoplight because there would be people that come out, they were window washers, and they would come out and they would just spray crap on your window, take a newspaper, make one swipe, and then pound on your window, pay up.

01:54:00.420 and i mean it was blackmail at every stop and rudy giuliani one with the broken windows theory was

01:54:08.400 one of the first things he did i'm stopping that i'm cleaning that up that immediately made this

01:54:13.480 it felt safer to be in new york and that just builds on itself so is this from the la from the

01:54:21.220 la times is this more about you know karen bass and her cronies in the media trying to take away

01:54:26.760 talking points from spencer pratt uh who's running a very effective campaign uh is that what this is

01:54:34.320 really about i think that's exactly right i think they understand that this is a major vulnerability

01:54:38.860 for them politically when you have well-to-do citizens finally starting to listen to somebody

01:54:43.680 who's simply telling the truth he's pointing a camera outward and saying look at the filth

01:54:48.260 look at the people injecting heroin into their veins on the street look at the the discarded

01:54:53.480 needles, look at the human feces, you know, on the sidewalks. These are sort of bread and butter

01:54:59.680 issues that the government exists to solve. And LA has been systematically failing to do anything

01:55:05.040 about those issues at scale. And I think what they're really understanding now is that this

01:55:10.080 is something that actually people care about, right? The sort of peak woke era of 2020 is kind

01:55:15.160 of over you know even you know far lefties want a relatively decent quality of life and they're not

01:55:23.220 getting that in a city in which they're paying through the nose when it comes to you know their

01:55:27.660 their tax burden so i i think what what this reflects is an understanding that they have

01:55:32.620 failed to deliver on their most basic duty uh as leaders of a major american city and spencer pratt

01:55:39.620 is doing an incredible job of just sort of leveraging that reality again pointing the

01:55:44.340 camera outward and saying do you want more of this does he have a chance i mean a real chance

01:55:51.600 you know it's hard to say my political prognostication skills are not what i get

01:55:56.060 paid for but um i think he does i think he does um you know i think the fact that he has caught

01:56:03.360 on to this degree and not just outside la i mean really people in la i have tons of friends who

01:56:09.440 live in LA and in the surrounding counties who are just all in on this guy, who are not committed,

01:56:15.720 you know, conservatives. These are just sort of regular people with tech jobs who just are fed

01:56:21.900 up. They're fed up and he is speaking their language. And so, you know, I think just as

01:56:27.800 people did not give enough credit to Donald Trump, you know, in the lead up to 2016, I think people

01:56:35.800 will underestimate spencer pratt at their peril boy i i hope you're right you know and it i don't

01:56:41.560 care about party i care about common sense i mean america has been so we just unpegged from any kind

01:56:50.360 of common sense and we've just been following lunatics and and everybody stood around looking

01:56:56.580 at it going yeah i know that's crazy isn't it oh well i'm not going to say anything for such a long

01:57:00.600 time this this this is not necessarily about um uh the republicans versus democrats this could

01:57:10.980 signal the return to sanity in america i think that's exactly right and one of the things that

01:57:17.040 i think people have forgotten in our sort of era of of you know stark political polarization

01:57:21.740 is that this issue the public safety and the public order issue was not a polarized issue

01:57:27.960 30, 40, 50 years ago. I mean, I remember in the early 1990s and late 1980s, where Democrats and

01:57:34.400 Republicans were essentially trying to one-up each other on how tough they would be on crime,

01:57:39.160 on how tough they would be on disorder. I mean, people forget that Bill Clinton signed the 1994

01:57:44.480 crime bill into law. The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 passed the Senate by a vote of 97 to 3.

01:57:51.800 You had people like Charles Rangel debating William F. Buckley on firing line, where Charles

01:57:56.360 Rangel was taking the position that we were not being harsh enough when it came to the prosecution

01:58:00.820 of the drug war. And so, you know, I think that Americans are just ready for a return back to the

01:58:06.640 day in which this particular issue is just taken out of the sort of the political sandbox. I think

01:58:14.360 people are tired of fighting over what is basic common sense. I think Americans see aberrant

01:58:20.020 behavior in the street and they want it dealt with. They want order restored. And that's not

01:58:24.060 a, you know, solely Republican or solely Democrat, uh, uh, sort of ideal. That's just what every

01:58:30.080 American, whatever human being wants for their own lives. I feel, thank you so much. I really

01:58:36.180 appreciate the perspective. Appreciate it. Thank you. We'll talk to you. Thank you for having me

01:58:39.740 on. Uh, you bet, uh, Raphael Mangual, uh, he is from the Manhattan Institute, um, Manhattan dot

01:58:47.760 institute okay back in just a second let me tell you about super sure um one thing that's exhausting

01:58:55.780 and it's why i i don't do it anymore i did it when i was young uh is pretend that you understand

01:59:03.040 things that nobody understands okay just just be real i don't get it i don't i don't understand it

01:59:10.080 i don't need to i don't want to i want to hire somebody who does know but can then just make it

01:59:16.140 understandable for me that is insurance a lot of business owners have policies i pay for a policies

01:59:24.400 every single month i don't know what's covered okay it when something happens i'm like are we

01:59:29.740 covered for that do we have coverage for that uh i don't know uh let me call our insurance agency

01:59:47.140 make all this really clear and accessible and manageable and and understandable and so you

02:01:00.680 Thanks so much for listening today.

02:01:02.520 I want to talk to you a little bit about the mission that I'm on and invite you to join me on this mission.

02:01:09.660 You know, for years, I think we as Americans have felt like strangers in our own country in a way.

02:01:17.140 And I think more and more people feel this.

02:01:19.980 The language has changed.

02:01:21.420 The values have changed.

02:01:23.360 The story has changed.

02:01:28.220 And there's no way you keep a republic alive.

02:01:30.760 um if you can't even explain what a republic is and um if you talk to people what's a republic

02:01:39.720 they have no idea who's the president i don't know they they might know this president they

02:01:44.660 probably won't be able to tell you the vice president the average person can't tell you

02:01:48.480 the three branches of government they they can oh they'll preach to you about rights but they

02:01:52.740 have have you seen those videos where these people are on the street i've got a right i've got a right

02:01:57.120 No, you really don't. You don't have that right, moron. 1.00

02:02:02.720 Politics and elections matter, but none of it holds if the culture collapses underneath it. 1.00

02:02:10.300 A nation survives because the nation remembers who it is.

02:02:16.560 And that is why I created Torch.

02:02:20.580 And that is why we are launching something for the first time,

02:02:24.200 first dipping our toe into the water on education this summer america is turning 250 and i'm going

02:02:32.440 to spend the summer on torch trying to help reclaim the story of the country together with

02:02:39.120 you it's a summer of education for america's 250 for the next 250 beginning next month we are going

02:02:48.080 to launch a full educational series and we start with the bill of rights and every subscriber is

02:02:54.940 going to receive an interactive lesson plan covering all 10 amendments that your family

02:02:59.880 can study together we really worked hard on these and it's not about memorizing facts or dates or

02:03:05.640 anything else this is american apologetics so you can have conversations with your kids and show them

02:03:13.640 how to think not what to think and it will prepare them to have discussions um you know

02:03:20.960 with people who disagree with them as they search for their own truth why do we protect speech that

02:03:26.780 we hate can you defend that why restrain government powered the power especially when there is a real

02:03:34.300 threat how to free societies uh survive deep disagreement without tearing themselves apart

02:03:41.220 we tried to look at all of the conversations we had we're having or should have and tie them to

02:03:47.980 the bill of rights and that's what's happening all summer that's one of the things the questions

02:03:52.240 that will shape our future and our future must have the answers for them we also created 10

02:03:58.320 original songs one for each amendment because kids will know these rights the same way earlier

02:04:03.900 generations learned about conjunction function conjunction function junk whatever schoolhouse

02:04:09.800 rock um we created 10 songs i think they're really great um and that shared memory of like

02:04:17.160 schoolhouse rock that means more than people realize and because you asked for it torch
