The Glenn Beck Program - When Americans Are AFRAID of Their Own Government, That’s a Dictatorship ｜ Guests： Texas AG Ken Paxton & Peter Navarro

00:00:00.000 If you happen to own a property, a home, there's a couple reasons you never want to become the

00:00:04.940 victim of home title fraud. Number one, a cyber criminal kind of worms his way onto your home's

00:00:11.200 title. He'll take out loan after loan using your home's equity. Then he'll vanish, leaving you to

00:00:16.040 deal with all of it and prove you didn't commit fraud. And number two, you could be a victim of

00:00:21.580 home title fraud and not even know it for months. No agency notifies you or asks you if you sold

00:00:27.040 your home or added someone to your title. You'll find out when the collection calls start for the

00:00:32.040 loans. Those loans, of course, that you didn't even take out. So what do you do about this? Home title

00:00:37.740 lock is America's trusted leader. Number one, just go to hometitlelock.com. Look at the testimonials

00:00:43.500 from retired FBI agents who have had to deal with this before. Then register your home address to

00:00:48.740 see if you're already a victim. When you register to protect your home, there will be a little space

00:00:53.240 for you to tell them that Stu sent you. I would recommend that you do that. Why not? You get 30

00:00:56.760 risk-free days of protection. Hometitlelock.com. Hometitlelock.com. Check it out now and protect

00:01:26.760 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is

00:01:33.760 the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:57.940 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. It is Thursday. There is a lot going

00:02:07.400 on in the news today. Garland testified, I think perjured himself. Thomas Massey cornered

00:02:14.440 him. We have all of the tape on that. Now the federal government is going after homeschoolers.

00:02:20.260 They've decided not to raise interest rates yesterday, but left the market feeling like,

00:02:26.440 wait, wait, what, what is going on? You're, you're saying one thing, but you're doing another.

00:02:30.900 What a surprise. The, uh, teachers union, Randy Weingarten is just out and out lying now. And

00:02:38.580 last night the fed, just the federal, uh, federal government decided they were just going to cut the

00:02:45.560 razor wire, uh, razor wire, uh, at the, uh, border on, uh, Texas at Eagle Pass, just came in, cut it.

00:02:53.460 Cameras were rolling. There were about 4,000 Venezuelans waiting on the other side and 14,000.

00:03:03.020 And now it's a state of emergency in Eagle Pass. When is Texas going to actually become Texas?

00:03:10.300 My first, or actually my second question to Ken Paxton. And we begin right now. Ken, welcome to

00:03:18.440 the program. I'm glad this is all, uh, behind you. Uh, it seemed to me to be an absolute witch hunt.

00:03:26.020 Um, but I, I wanted to ask you one question, uh, on this, cause I know you covered a lot of this with,

00:03:32.280 um, Tucker Carlson, uh, yesterday, but let me, let me go into the wall street journal.

00:03:37.700 Why Ken Paxton was acquitted. Uh, and it's by the entire editorial board and it's just

00:03:43.140 ridiculous, but listen to this. It says, Mr. Paxton's defenders are spinning that he was saved

00:03:48.580 by a populist national conservative groundswell to put an end to the Bush era in Texas. What a joke.

00:03:54.080 There is no longer a Bush era in Texas or anywhere else. George P. Bush, Jeb Bush's son lost to Mr.

00:03:59.840 Paxton. Yeah. Well, yes. So how is that the end of the Bush? Well, these people, what really

00:04:05.740 happened on Saturday is that Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, uh, chose to rescue in a rebuke,

00:04:12.440 uh, of his rival house speaker, Dade Phelan. The acquittal is perhaps a satisfying victory for

00:04:19.980 Mr. Patrick over his house rival, but it may not play out so well for Texas Republicans in the longer

00:04:24.860 run. A federal investigation into Mr. Paxton is continuing amid reports that a grand jury has been

00:04:32.120 impaneled. What do you know about that, Ken? Well, first of all, let me, I do have to thank

00:04:38.040 the people of Texas. Thank my wife, Angela and my kids. I am here because by the grace of God and,

00:04:43.480 and those people that I just mentioned, like the Biden administration, I've seen him 48 times in

00:04:50.100 two and a half years. I said the Obama administration, 27 times in 27 months, this was organized by the

00:04:55.860 Biden administration. They, and that people, how could that be? It happens because in Texas,

00:05:00.820 the speaker is elected by 65 Democrats and 10 Republicans. That's all it takes. And what the

00:05:07.320 Democrats do is they block vote. They figure out which Republican is going to give them the most

00:05:11.360 it's a speaker. And they picked Dade Phelan and why? Because Dade Phelan agreed to this deal with

00:05:16.760 the Biden administration, went straight through the Texas Democrats and they came after me and

00:05:21.860 shoot, I've been investigated ever since the day I walked into this office. And I have no doubt that

00:05:26.440 the Biden administration would love to find some way. They've been working on it for years

00:05:30.120 to get rid of me. And part of that process was the impeachment.

00:05:35.180 So, um, I have to tell you, I think Phelan should be impeached himself. This was just such a sham,

00:05:41.480 uh, of everything that was going on. But let, let me talk about the border here because

00:05:46.940 Ken, while you've been away, Texas has been a wuss in many cases. Um, yesterday, the razor wire and Eagle pass,

00:05:56.440 uh, was cut. We have this gigantic colony in Houston, which is, you know, they're, they're

00:06:03.080 chaining girls up and raping them. One escaped, tried to, uh, and was killed. Both of them ended up

00:06:11.080 dead. Uh, there's all kinds of cartel activity going on. This is a colony in Houston, the size of

00:06:18.140 Washington, DC. More people are on the way. When is Texas going to become Texas?

00:06:26.800 So I literally had my first briefing on all of this stuff yesterday. And from my office, we spent,

00:06:32.260 obviously I've missed four months and I had people that have left. I, there's lots of stuff that I

00:06:37.660 didn't know what was going on because I wasn't allowed to get information from my office. And so

00:06:42.560 yesterday I spent more time talking about immigration and what's going on along the border.

00:06:46.560 What can we do? And so we're in the process of looking at potential lawsuits. I don't have an army of

00:06:51.800 soldiers that can go out and do anything about it. It's not what the legislature gives me.

00:06:55.780 All I can do is what I can do in court. And so, you know, we already had a bunch of lawsuits filed

00:07:00.760 against the Biden administration, but we're definitely looking at more and we're trying

00:07:03.600 to figure out how can we stop this travesty, uh, with, which the Biden administration is promoting.

00:07:09.840 And it's pretty clear to me, they do not care about the American people. This is it

00:07:14.880 so horrible. And the consequences for people on the border that are, that are U S citizens

00:07:19.980 and for our state are devastating. And those consequences with drugs and crime are going

00:07:25.900 to be felt in this country for a long time to come.

00:07:29.800 So did the governor reach out to you yesterday at all about the wire cutting?

00:07:33.520 I had, I did not hear from his office yesterday, my staff may have, but I did not.

00:07:39.960 Okay. I didn't know about it until you just said something.

00:07:46.020 No one, no one from the governor's office called you about the federal government cutting

00:07:53.000 the razor wire and letting thousands of people in across our border at Eagle pass. No one called

00:08:00.760 you. I heard about that story on right before your show started. As I listened to the news,

00:08:08.120 that's when I heard about the wire. I did not know. Okay. Uh, the, um, you said to Tucker yesterday

00:08:18.900 in your interview with him and just kind of, it just kind of just went and he didn't follow up. And I

00:08:25.180 found this quite important. The court of appeals in the state of Texas, apparently now you cannot

00:08:32.640 prosecute voter fraud in Texas. Is that true? Yes, that is correct. They struck down a law from

00:08:39.920 1951. And by the way, what I have four things that I'm supposed to do in the constitution. The final

00:08:44.880 thing is such things as are required by law. And in 1951, the legislature directed the attorney general.

00:08:52.300 It's the only thing I have original jurisdiction on as it relates to criminal matters was voter fraud

00:08:57.160 and the court of criminal appeals, all Republican, by the way. And by the way, nobody knows who they

00:09:01.720 are. This is why I think they've been put there. And I'm convinced they're, they're, they're not

00:09:06.540 Republicans because they struck down this law. And it said that I don't have the authority to go to

00:09:11.060 court as attorney general, because I'm in the executive branch. That was their rationale for striking

00:09:16.360 balancing unconstitutional for the attorney general to be in court. And I'm like, is that the most

00:09:20.880 insane decision ever, but they did it. And now it's up to the local DAs to prosecute it.

00:09:26.260 Oh my gosh.

00:09:27.660 The Travis County, the Dallas County, the Harris County, which is Houston,

00:09:30.980 Bear County, they're not going to prosecute voter fraud. Guess what? They just opened up voter fraud.

00:09:36.080 And the people of Texas need to know that. And there's three of the nine members up coming up

00:09:41.220 in March for a primary. We have to find people to run and we have to beat those people or we are going

00:09:47.200 to lose the state. Cause I tried to get this law passed again so that I would have, I could start

00:09:51.420 doing it again and make them strike it down again. And guess who killed it? Dade Phelan. I called

00:09:56.020 them. He never returned my calls, but he, I was told by his team that they had, they didn't have

00:10:01.280 time to pass this law, even though I got it. Oh my gosh. That's where we are with Dade Phelan.

00:10:06.220 That's where we are with the Texas house. And that's where we are with the court of criminal appeals

00:10:09.760 that no one knows. And by the way, that is our highest court. It's like our Supreme court. We're only one,

00:10:13.340 one of two States that has this for all criminal matters. So I have no appeal, right? So when they

00:10:18.460 strike down, this is unconstitutional and say, I can't prosecute voter fraud. I have no ability

00:10:23.280 to get around that. I'm stuck. And that's what I'm trying to fix. Okay. So who needs to be called

00:10:28.720 the house? The house needs to pass this next time. It's a lost two years that I can't prosecute

00:10:36.420 their fraud. And in March, I'm, I think we're, I think we're going to have three people to run

00:10:40.960 against the members of the court of appeals. We've got to get those people elected because

00:10:44.580 we lost eight, one. And if we can get three new members, we'll at least be five, four,

00:10:49.000 and we'll be sending the message. You cannot strike down.

00:10:52.360 Who are those three members? Who are the three members that are, that are, I do not have it.

00:10:57.200 I don't have it. Yeah. Three members are going to be up this time. I think, uh, one of them is like,

00:11:02.840 uh, Michelle Swatter, I think Barbara Hervey. And I'm trying to remember the third one. I think

00:11:06.920 those are the three that are up. Okay. We'll find out. And, uh, I don't, I don't think there's

00:11:13.280 any more important issue than making sure we fix that court. Why did this happen? How did this

00:11:18.200 happen? Okay. So I think George Soros is my opinion. He's not, he was trying to do three

00:11:22.620 things. One, get the DAs elected in these liberal counties. So he, he beat all these democratic DAs

00:11:27.580 that were prosecuting crimes. He did in Travis County and unseated Democrat there that he didn't

00:11:33.060 was actually prosecuting crimes. He did the same thing in San Antonio. So he got

00:11:36.860 control that knowing full well that this would affect voting. Second, he put, he helped put

00:11:42.000 nine members on the Supreme Court, actually eight. Kevin Urie is awesome. Uh, the other

00:11:46.440 eight, no one knows who they are. And I think he, because Republicans don't know who these

00:11:51.040 people are, um, he was able to get these members of the court to strike down this law. And then

00:11:55.380 the third strategy was get rid of me. And then there's no hope. There's nowhere to go. So

00:12:00.160 that was the goal. They didn't get rid of me. So there's still hope. And we've got to change

00:12:04.300 the court of current field and we've got to get the house next time to pass this law.

00:12:10.360 You know, Donald Trump said yesterday, let me see if I can actually quote him on, uh, on

00:12:16.860 something. Uh, he said yesterday, uh, that we, if there is a defeat in 2024, um, it will mean

00:12:27.400 the end of the country. The 2024 presidential election will be nothing less than the final

00:12:32.540 battle for the U S I'm beginning to think that that is absolutely true. If we make it

00:12:39.020 to 2024. I told him, uh, when he was running for reelection in May, that I was fighting a battle

00:12:47.780 to stop massive mail-out ballots in all the biggest counties, Travis County, which is Austin,

00:12:52.860 Harris County, which is Houston. We had 12 lawsuits. And I said, if I don't win every single one of those

00:12:57.640 lawsuits, you're going to lose Texas. He's like, what? That's not possible. I said, it doesn't matter

00:13:02.240 what your polling says. If they can send out six or 7 million ballots or just one counting, say

00:13:08.220 Harris County sends up 2.5 million ballots. You won by 600 votes, 600,000 votes. You're not going

00:13:14.180 to win Texas. They will count votes because we can't verify if they just mail them out to everybody

00:13:18.840 and there's no signature verification, which is still not even the best way to make sure people

00:13:23.260 are voting right. And we have no way to verify. They're going to be able to cheat, count as many

00:13:27.200 ballots as they want. They'll figure out how much, what their numbers are. And guess what?

00:13:31.200 We stopped every one of those 12 lawsuits, even though we were in terrible places with terrible

00:13:35.620 judges. And I watched election night and I was like, this is exactly, they stopped counting votes

00:13:40.840 for a couple of days. Why? So they can figure out how many votes they needed to count with these mail-in

00:13:45.980 ballots. And that's exactly what happened in these other states. And whenever I bring it up,

00:13:49.740 they say I'm crazy, but that's exactly what they did.

00:13:51.840 You know, one thing I really worry about is the number of illegals in our country, the ones

00:14:01.020 that we don't even know about. We already, since Biden got into office, we have already passed

00:14:06.600 the population of 15 different states. Combinations of three states would equal the amount that has

00:14:16.280 come in. It is, it's, you're seeing crime and everything else. And we're only seeing the surface

00:14:25.800 of this. I wonder if Texas can stand, how much is this changing? If they can just register or, or get

00:14:40.280 people in here to do voting, which is their plan. Beyond that, the crime, the social services,

00:14:50.540 the hospitals, I, I, we're so close to the border. If we don't get this border sealed, we're done.

00:14:58.820 No, this is the plan. You know, people are like, why is Biden doing this? Two reasons. One is the

00:15:02.960 first reason, voting. Getting as many of these people into Republican states that they can become

00:15:07.520 voters, whether it's legal or illegal. Right now they can vote illegally and no one's going to do

00:15:13.460 anything about it. It won't matter. Second, they wanted to get as many people, illegals into these

00:15:18.820 Republican states, because guess what? We're doing better than the Democratic states. We have low taxes,

00:15:23.780 less regulation, more opportunity, better governance, and they want to bring in more problems. They want

00:15:29.920 to take us down because the story is too good for Texas and Florida and Tennessee and Utah. The Republican

00:15:36.240 states are successful. The Democratic states are losing people because people are voting with their

00:15:40.520 feet. And the Biden administration said, okay, we'll make you pay for it. We're going to make you pay for

00:15:45.500 all this stuff. Schooling, healthcare, law enforcement, crime. Your kids are going to die. We're going to get

00:15:52.400 you. And that's what the Biden administration is all about.

00:15:54.500 Well, uh, any good news to report? Uh, yeah, there is a God and there's always hope. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I,

00:16:06.660 I have to tell you, um, it looked, uh, it looked like they were going to be able to railroad you and

00:16:13.160 look, I know you're not a perfect person. Um, but, uh, you know, the, uh, I had a real problem when they

00:16:20.480 came, uh, to the impeachment hearings after promising, just like the Democrats do all kinds

00:16:26.120 of evidence, all kinds of, and then literally nothing. Uh, they said their lawyers when said it

00:16:32.020 was going to be 10 times worse than the public knew. And, and guess what? It was 10 times less.

00:16:36.280 They tried to railroad me out by doing, having no due process, no sworn testimony, which is required by

00:16:41.460 law, no due process, no chance to, for me to refute any of this stuff, all done secretly,

00:16:47.080 no transparency done in three days and designed to smother me. Cause now I'm out of office. I have

00:16:53.260 no resources. I spent all my money on the campaign. I had no, I had no lawyers. I had three months to

00:16:59.800 figure out what they had and they kept hiding the information, even though they were required to

00:17:04.260 turn it over. They, and then of course I had a gag order, so I couldn't defend myself. I couldn't go

00:17:08.780 out and talk. I couldn't call you. On the other hand, they had, they were able to leak information to

00:17:13.660 the press. And every day I was getting pounded. All of that was, was against me. And yet, because

00:17:19.800 of the people of Texas, because of my strong family sport, my wife's sport, and because by the grace of

00:17:24.360 God, you know, I just decided I'm going to fight this to the last second. I will not resign because

00:17:31.400 if they win this, then they can just do this to anybody they want. I will not let the voters down.

00:17:35.980 So, so who's going to pay for this? I mean, is any, is any investigation? I don't want revenge.

00:17:43.140 I want this not to be able to happen again.

00:17:46.980 No. So Dan Patrick, God bless him for this. He, he called for an audit, which I think is fair

00:17:52.300 because they were trying to hide how much money they were spending. So I think we're going to find

00:17:56.820 out how much money they spent, which is millions. And look, it's totally unfair to push somebody out

00:18:02.360 of office with no proof. And then I've got to go pay for it. And I could lose just because they have

00:18:07.960 all the money from the taxpayers. And I'm left with just nothing. Most people would not have made

00:18:13.400 it through that with no resources. And that is unfair for the house to be able to like suspend me

00:18:19.760 with no proof. And then take away Glenn Hager, the comptroller, illegally cuts my salary off to punish

00:18:26.160 me, even though he had no authority to do that. And he still hasn't started my salary back.

00:18:30.400 And I'm supposed to survive this. They did everything they could to make it impossible

00:18:36.000 for me to get the truth out and to survive.

00:18:37.880 This is so, we're, we're, we're becoming against the will of the voters.

00:18:42.440 We are, we are becoming, uh, an old Soviet state. It's terrifying.

00:18:48.900 This is Texas, Glenn, Texas.

00:18:50.860 Oh, I, I know. I know. Ken, thank you very much. I appreciate it. God bless.

00:18:56.460 Have a great day. Bye.

00:24:18.460 From the White House pool reports, there was a fundraiser with President Joe Biden yesterday.

00:24:25.420 We are now looking for the audio or video if there is any, but here's what happened.

00:24:30.160 This is terrifying. From last night's White House pool report at a fundraiser, Biden, quote,

00:24:35.260 reflected on his decision to seek the presidency. He told the story about the events of Charlottesville

00:24:40.720 in 2017 as the reason for his campaign. This is exactly how it's written. I'm quoting.

00:24:46.400 A few minutes later, he told the story again, nearly word for word.

00:24:55.780 Well, maybe, maybe he was testing the audience.

00:25:02.120 That's where you have to go, I think, to make this okay.

00:25:04.460 I mean, that is terrifying. That is terrifying that the man can be talking and he doesn't know

00:25:09.980 that he just, what is wrong with us? Honest to God, America, what is wrong with us?

00:25:16.380 How is this not clearly a problem? Look at what is happening in our court system.

00:25:26.060 Look what Massey had to say yesterday to our attorney general. You seen this yet?

00:25:31.540 Watch, here's the first clip from Massey and our attorney general, the chief law enforcement

00:25:40.040 officer of our country. Listen to this.

00:25:42.940 That was your answer to a question to me two years ago when I said how many agents or assets

00:25:47.920 of the government were present on January 5th and January 6th and agitating in the crowd

00:25:52.780 to go into the Capitol and how many went into the Capitol. Can you answer that now?

00:25:57.240 I don't know the answer to that question.

00:25:59.480 Oh, last time, you don't know how many there were or there were none?

00:26:03.020 I don't know the answer to either of those questions. If there were any, I don't know

00:26:07.900 how many. I don't know whether there are any.

00:26:10.640 Oh, my gosh.

00:26:11.480 I think you may have just perjured yourself that you don't know that there were any.

00:26:15.660 You want to say that again, that you don't know that there were any?

00:26:18.180 I have no personal knowledge of this matter. I think what I said the last time.

00:26:22.340 You've had two years to find out. And the day, by the way, that was in reference to Ray

00:26:27.180 Epps. And yesterday you indicted him. Isn't that a wonderful coincidence on a misdemeanor?

00:26:33.060 Meanwhile, you're sending grandmas to prison. You're putting people away for 20 years for

00:26:37.940 merely filming. Some people weren't even there yet. You've got the guy on video who's saying

00:26:42.900 go into the Capitol. He's directing people to the Capitol before the speech ends. He's at the

00:26:47.840 site of the first breach. You've got all the goods on him, 10 videos, and it's an indictment for

00:26:53.540 a misdemeanor. The American public isn't buying it.

00:26:56.280 Okay. Now listen, this is what he said about that question in 2021. Listen.

00:27:02.480 I was hoping today to give you an opportunity to put to rest the concerns that people have,

00:27:07.720 that there were federal agents or assets of the federal government present on January 5th and

00:27:13.040 January 6th. Can you tell us, without talking about particular incidents or particular videos,

00:27:18.780 how many agents or assets of the federal government were present on January 6th, whether they agitated

00:27:23.900 to go into the Capitol and if any of them did? So I'm not going to violate this norm of

00:27:29.820 the rule of law. I'm not going to comment on an investigation that's ongoing.

00:27:34.660 How do you, how do you investigate January 6th and you don't, you haven't even asked if we had

00:27:52.260 any agents on the ground? How is that even possible? How's it possible?

00:27:59.860 Is anyone else beside people who voted differently than Joe Biden? Is anyone else saying, wait a minute,

00:28:15.500 Ray Epps, he was on the FBI's most wanted list. Then they removed his picture after a few days.

00:28:22.260 Then when people said, wait a minute, who is this guy? Others identified him as Ray Epps.

00:28:28.740 He then becomes no big deal. The New York Times does this love letter to Ray Epps. He's on videotape

00:28:37.620 saying, we got to go in there. We got to go in tomorrow. We go in. We have videotape of him

00:28:45.360 actually looking at one guy who's standing at the gate, who's not trying to open it up. And he leans

00:28:52.260 in and whispers in his ear. And pretty soon, not long after the whisper in the ear, within seconds,

00:28:58.920 that guy starts shoving the gate open and letting everybody in. And Ray Epps actually said in testimony,

00:29:07.240 I was just telling him, this isn't you. The cops are our friends. Don't do this.

00:29:15.960 Really? Because he was peaceful before. And this guy now is on getting a misdemeanor.

00:29:24.220 He's everything the Biden administration says is a problem. He's everything. All of the people that

00:29:34.140 were there around him when he was given the speech the night before. Everybody around him,

00:29:39.000 Trump supporters, real Trump supporters, were shouting, fed, fed, fed, because they sensed this

00:29:45.240 was a setup. Does anybody have a problem with that? Does anybody have a problem with what

00:29:52.960 Garland is doing, slow walking every investigation in Washington, and then putting grandmas in jail?

00:30:01.280 Look, we don't usually prosecute people who lie on their form, you know, for their gut. Excuse

00:30:10.460 me, what? This administration, this one, isn't looking for every opportunity to put somebody

00:30:19.940 in jail? A white guy? Huh.

00:30:25.820 I'm not sure I know how to help anymore. I really don't. I'm having a very difficult time.

00:30:55.820 Because the hour is growing very, very late. And I don't see the movements.

00:31:05.000 You know, here's what I see. Here's what I see. I see people getting so frustrated that they're like,

00:31:10.500 you know what? Get them! I see that. I see, you know, guys apparently talking about,

00:31:18.960 you know, the Roman Empire all the time. I don't even know what that is.

00:31:22.580 Stu, how many times do you think of the Roman Empire? A day?

00:31:27.380 I mean, zero, but I have read two Marcus Aurelius books in the last year.

00:31:31.220 Right.

00:31:31.580 So that's a problem.

00:31:32.700 All right. So is that a problem?

00:31:34.260 I'd like to say it was zero. That was my initial response, but then no, actually.

00:31:37.900 Mine is, my answer to that is never, but I spell never N-E-5-E-R.

00:31:45.240 I mean, this is ridiculous. And I'm hearing people, we need a new Caesar. No, we don't. No,

00:31:53.580 we don't. No, we don't. Where are the people that are learning the Constitution? Where are the

00:31:59.560 people that are standing for the Constitution? You have brave whistleblowers now, but nobody seems

00:32:07.080 to care about what the whistleblowers are saying. And these whistleblowers are credible. You know

00:32:13.900 their names. They're taking the heat. It's not like, well, when you hear what this whistleblower who

00:32:21.100 we won't tell you who it is, even though everybody knows who it is already. Uh, and that makes him

00:32:27.080 suspect. Uh, we're not going to tell you that that's him because he's got stuff that you won't

00:32:32.920 believe. And then where's the stuff? Just exactly what happened to Ken Paxton. Do you know that the

00:32:41.820 governor yesterday? Well, let me just tell you this one. Let me just tell you this one. This

00:32:47.520 shows me how deep the problems are. Do you remember talking about a, a couple from Germany who had

00:32:57.860 seven kids, the Romeiki family, and they came over here. This is like 2013. And they came over here

00:33:06.220 because the state said they had to teach their kids. I don't remember what it was. And they were

00:33:12.260 like, no, that violates our religious point of view. No, we can't do that. And so they were going

00:33:18.160 to take the kids away. And so they decided to come over here. And after a battle with the Obama

00:33:24.140 administration, they were allowed to stay here in Virginia. Do you know what the Biden administration

00:33:29.840 just did after leaving these people alone for 10 years, giving them hope that America was a place

00:33:36.120 that they could actually have freedom of religion without any notice or anything. They just called

00:33:45.580 them up and said, by the way, you have to return to Germany. You're out. We've got two and a half to

00:33:51.900 three million people in the last two years coming across our border. And yet you have this family

00:33:58.800 in Virginia that is peaceful, kind, productive. All they want is to teach their kids about God

00:34:07.100 and our government. This shows you how much money and how deep this goes. When you have time

00:34:17.680 in these days to go, ah, you remember that family? Get them.

00:34:25.980 The governor in Pennsylvania yesterday just signed a new order where now you can be registered

00:34:32.320 to vote with your driver's license. Okay. Except that's not what the law says. The governor cannot do that.

00:34:40.260 The legislature has to. And they currently have a system where you go to get your driver's license

00:34:47.480 and you have to check a box. I want to register my vote now or not. All you have to do is check a box.

00:34:58.660 That's too much work. They took the box off. The governor did it by himself.

00:35:05.460 Disregarding the Constitution of Pennsylvania. Don't worry. They can do it.

00:35:22.680 I've got something prepared for next hour that is the answer.

00:35:29.500 But I don't think... I'm not sure if people want the answer.

00:35:36.660 I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I think so many people have buried their heads

00:35:40.680 and the people who are actually aware of it are like,

00:35:43.820 I mean, what are we going to do? What are we going to do?

00:35:49.020 I'm so close to just saying, get to the mountains, gang.

00:35:51.700 Get to the mountains. Let God sort all this stuff out.

00:35:56.460 It's going to be ugly. Ugly.

00:36:00.200 Because we refuse to turn back to him.

00:36:03.700 After September 11th, we learned our lesson.

00:36:06.720 Oh God, help us. Oh God, help us.

00:36:08.940 And we actually meant, oh God, help us.

00:36:14.180 We went our own way.

00:36:20.740 And now look at where we are.

00:36:22.320 We went our own way.

00:36:26.320 I pray for you every day.

00:36:31.940 I ask that you would pray for me and my staff and for guidance.

00:36:37.080 I don't even... I'm getting to the point where I don't know what is true anymore.

00:36:40.700 I don't know what's true.

00:36:43.340 I mean, I've been duped and fooled so many times in so many ways that I'm like...

00:36:48.320 I believe in the best in people.

00:36:56.300 I believe in the people of America.

00:36:59.400 I believe in you.

00:37:00.420 And I know we can turn this around.

00:37:05.180 I just wonder where the hell our armies are.

00:37:13.020 And I mean armies of even bureaucrats, of think tank people who are actually doing something.

00:37:20.900 These people have thought this through for years.

00:37:25.460 This is not happening through happenstance.

00:37:28.640 It's not because Biden sucks.

00:37:31.360 This is a plan.

00:37:32.960 This is a plan.

00:37:35.080 Where's ours?

00:37:37.200 Where is our...

00:37:39.060 Where is the group that is...

00:37:42.120 We can coalesce around?

00:39:16.220 If you're someone who takes shooting seriously, you know that getting good requires a ton of practice.

00:39:33.680 It's not easy.

00:39:34.520 And that practice used to mean spending a lot of ammunition at the range.

00:39:38.500 Until iTarget came along.

00:39:39.940 That is, if you have ever seen competitive shooters try this,

00:39:43.260 where they go out and do these timing drills on the ranges.

00:39:45.240 I mean, first of all, it's really fun to watch.

00:39:46.860 I could not do what they do.

00:39:48.540 But you can get better and better and get closer and closer to that level with iTarget Pro.

00:39:52.800 And you don't have to spend a dime on ammunition.

00:39:55.080 Well, now they have the new iTarget Cube.

00:39:56.820 And you can really simulate what they're doing in these competitions.

00:39:59.600 It's really cool.

00:40:00.220 You have these with your existing laser bullets.

00:40:02.120 If you have them already.

00:40:02.880 If not, you can get them at iTarget Pro.

00:40:04.440 You can buy one.

00:40:05.320 You can upgrade to the three-pack of these cubes for a really cool, unique training experience.

00:40:10.040 You can really practice anything.

00:40:12.300 Random shooting drills, clearing drills, random mode to test your ability to react.

00:40:17.260 All while the system times every shot that you make.

00:40:19.660 You can practice alone.

00:40:20.520 You can compete with friends.

00:40:21.980 And because the system works with your home's Wi-Fi, you can place cubes anywhere in your home

00:40:26.160 and practice self-defense scenarios safely without the expense and inconvenience of having to go to the shooting range and spend all that cash.

00:40:31.740 If you want the benefits of staying in practice, if you want none of the drawbacks, then iTarget is for you.

00:40:55.340 Back in April, I gave a speech that just came pouring out of me.

00:41:01.600 I had been praying and praying and praying, and I got up.

00:41:05.780 I just landed, walked off the plane, got onto a stage, and just bleh.

00:41:11.500 And it, I think, is the most powerful speech I've ever given.

00:41:16.220 I've been asked to give that speech again by the Eagle Forum, and so I'm going to give that speech again.

00:41:23.620 I'm going to do it this time in Salt Lake City.

00:41:28.120 America is a covenant nation, but what does it mean?

00:41:32.540 I want you to bring your kids, your teenagers, your young adult children so they can learn the principles of the Constitution,

00:41:39.680 why it's important, and the promise God has made for America, and how we can heal it.

00:41:46.400 Just go to Eventbrite.com and search for my name, Glenn Beck, and you'll find it.

00:41:55.020 It's happening Thursday, October 19th, 6.30 to 9 p.m. Mountain Time, Mountain American Exposition Center in Sandy, Utah.

00:42:03.600 Make sure that you go to Eventbrite.com.

00:42:07.800 Okay.

00:42:09.680 Oh, man.

00:42:11.920 Man alive.

00:42:13.380 How are you doing, Stu?

00:42:15.640 I'm doing well.

00:42:17.020 How are you doing, Glenn?

00:42:18.120 I am doing so well.

00:42:20.240 Really?

00:42:20.760 Yeah.

00:42:21.200 That's good to hear.

00:42:22.020 Yeah.

00:42:22.340 I don't believe you at all.

00:42:23.460 You don't believe me?

00:42:24.420 No.

00:42:24.600 Well, I think things are going to get even, they are actually going to get a little happier.

00:42:30.120 Peter Navarro is joining us.

00:42:32.600 Okay.

00:42:33.100 You know who Peter Navarro is?

00:42:34.400 Yes, I do.

00:42:34.980 Okay.

00:42:35.320 What is he doing right now?

00:42:38.060 He's in a bit of a tough moment himself.

00:42:41.120 Yeah.

00:42:41.500 Dealing with a lot of stuff.

00:42:42.540 Yeah.

00:42:42.780 He's trying to defend himself and take on this administration in court.

00:42:48.900 The Glenn Beck program.

00:42:49.220 We'll talk to him next.

00:42:53.880 Let me tell you about Mantis X.

00:42:55.860 Mantis X is a way to keep your game up if you're a shooter.

00:42:59.220 I love to shoot.

00:43:00.260 My son and I, we shoot all the time.

00:43:02.100 We skeet shoot.

00:43:02.780 We target shoot with our pistols.

00:43:05.060 And we love it.

00:43:06.180 And we have competitions as families.

00:43:08.300 And it's a fun way to spend an afternoon.

00:43:10.540 It's becoming a very expensive way to spend an afternoon.

00:43:15.460 So we don't do it as much as we used to.

00:43:17.680 But you still have to keep your shooting skills.

00:43:21.080 If you're going to carry a gun, you better be a good shot.

00:43:24.360 Okay.

00:43:25.040 Dry fire practicing or just going to the range and spending the money on the ammunition.

00:43:30.100 You can learn with Mantis X a lot faster.

00:43:34.660 You attach this to the firearm.

00:43:36.160 Connect it to an app on your smartphone or your tablet via Bluetooth.

00:43:39.520 Then whenever you're actually firing rounds or dry fire practicing, it gives you instant feedback.

00:43:44.980 Shows you exactly what you're doing as you pull the trigger.

00:43:48.000 It is literally like having a firearms instructor who never misses anything right next to you.

00:43:54.460 Tells you exactly what you need to do to improve.

00:43:56.880 Most people, in fact, it's 94% of the people improve.

00:44:00.100 Within 20 minutes of using Mantis X.

00:44:02.680 It's really, really great.

00:44:05.060 MantisX.com

00:44:09.560 This one, in my opinion, is a no-brainer.

00:44:30.100 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:44:57.160 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:45:01.540 Well, the world's about to change yet again.

00:45:07.200 Rupert Murdoch has just resigned at the head of News Corp, giving it to his son, who just loves conservatives.

00:45:15.040 Nothing's going to change at all.

00:45:18.500 Oh, don't worry about that.

00:45:19.800 Glad I'm out.

00:45:21.000 Glad I started the plays.

00:45:22.580 Have you joined us yet?

00:45:23.960 You might want to think about it.

00:45:25.640 Also, on the docket on today's program is Peter Navarro.

00:45:30.680 Peter is an American patriot.

00:45:34.140 He went to the White House for public service.

00:45:37.340 You know, they're now throwing him.

00:45:40.960 They just are putting him in leg irons.

00:45:43.980 He was the chief China strategist holding the line on China.

00:45:48.840 He was the White House manufacturing czar.

00:45:51.360 He was the Defense Production Act policy coordinator during the pandemic.

00:45:56.080 He holds a Ph.D. in economics from Harvard and now kind of needs your help, too, because he's going against the federal government and they've apparently got a lot of money.

00:46:11.520 I don't know who their sugar daddy is, but he looks an awful lot like us.

00:46:15.100 But Peter Navarro is here to tell us what exactly is going on and how you can help.

00:46:21.100 We do that in 60 seconds.

00:46:23.020 Tragically, we face an active evil.

00:46:26.140 I mean, honestly, I don't understand how people cannot see the evil that is all around and how many people have just slipped into the fog and the darkness of it.

00:46:38.280 We've got to pull our brothers and sisters out of there.

00:46:41.060 And the way to do that is with love and compassion.

00:46:44.280 And that's why I want to talk to you about pre-born.

00:46:47.880 Pre-born, people have been standing up against abortion.

00:46:50.920 Thank God.

00:46:51.660 Thank you, Catholics, for carrying the lion's share of that for so long.

00:46:56.160 But people have been standing up.

00:46:58.340 And a lot of people, when you think of pro-life people, you think of them shouting, baby color.

00:47:03.960 That's not the way to change anybody's heart.

00:47:06.560 Pre-born does it right.

00:47:07.760 But first of all, they partner with these clinics all over in the roughest, highest Planned Parenthood neighborhoods.

00:47:16.940 And they partner in there.

00:47:18.400 And what they do is they offer free ultrasounds.

00:47:21.220 So they buy an ultrasound machine for about $15,000.

00:47:25.640 And then they hire a technician.

00:47:27.580 They train that technician.

00:47:28.900 And so when mom comes in, she gets a free ultrasound.

00:47:31.860 That changes the minds of moms who are thinking about abortion by 50%.

00:47:36.960 Then, because they have compassion, and when you meet these women, they're not baby killers.

00:47:44.540 Man, they're stuck.

00:47:45.480 They don't know what to do.

00:47:47.560 I mean, some are, but they don't know what to do.

00:47:51.120 Right now, they're taking care of these moms for up to two and a half years.

00:47:57.320 That's the way to stop this.

00:47:59.300 Please help.

00:48:00.220 Go to preborn.com slash Beck.

00:48:01.980 That's preborn.com slash Beck.

00:48:04.900 And just offer anything that you can.

00:48:09.060 Widows might, or $15,000, will buy a machine.

00:48:13.040 Please help.

00:48:14.280 Preborn.com slash Beck.

00:48:15.860 Sponsored by Preborn.

00:48:19.380 Peter Navarro.

00:48:21.320 How are you, sir?

00:48:22.980 Well, actually.

00:48:23.640 Brother Beck, man.

00:48:25.660 Hey, let's, first of all, let's celebrate Rupert standing down.

00:48:30.640 But, as you pointed out, we're not any better.

00:48:34.340 Cut the fox court.

00:48:35.420 That's all I can say.

00:48:36.900 Yeah.

00:48:37.360 Geez.

00:48:37.920 I mean, it is.

00:48:39.100 It's amazing what that place has become.

00:48:41.480 Isn't it?

00:48:42.000 Just amazing.

00:48:43.120 Well, it's interesting to me.

00:48:44.640 A lot of people I know over there are still there.

00:48:47.860 They've turned in like these plantation slaves.

00:48:51.880 You know, to keep their job.

00:48:53.180 They just tow the never Trump kind of hate mag a line.

00:48:59.640 And, I mean, it must make it sad to you as much as it's sad to me.

00:49:02.600 But the worst, Glenn, is they're frigging dangerous at Fox.

00:49:06.460 Because people, there's still people out there who think that that's a conservative network.

00:49:11.320 And now, but maybe having Lachlan there running the thing, people will get the idea.

00:49:16.160 They might wake up a little bit.

00:49:18.560 Yeah.

00:49:19.260 Yeah.

00:49:19.880 Might wake up a bit.

00:49:21.140 But thanks for mentioning my legal problems.

00:49:25.280 DefendPeter.com.

00:49:26.560 DefendPeter.com is my legal defense fund.

00:49:29.380 The first time somebody told me this, it kind of caught me by surprise.

00:49:34.860 But it actually is true.

00:49:36.280 I'm fighting, as is Donald Trump, the biggest law firm in the world.

00:49:40.700 The Department of Injustice is the biggest freaking law firm in the world.

00:49:46.000 They're trying to put Trump in prison.

00:49:48.020 They're trying to put me in prison, Rudy, Johnny, everybody I served with.

00:49:54.140 And, look, Glenn, you know this.

00:49:56.160 All I ever did was create jobs, save lives, and, oh, by the way, solve a couple of labor

00:50:03.420 strikes like the last time UAW went out.

00:50:06.360 And I'm being charged with a crime that hasn't been a crime since the days of George Washington.

00:50:15.000 And I'm facing up to two years in prison with a conviction.

00:50:19.620 Tell me what they're charging.

00:50:21.000 Tell everybody what they're charging you with.

00:50:23.380 Sure.

00:50:25.440 The charge is failing to comply with a congressional subpoena.

00:50:31.820 Okay?

00:50:32.360 So I get the subpoena from the J6 committee.

00:50:38.660 Let's remember, nine people, seven of them Democrats, rabid Trump impeachers, two rhinos,

00:50:46.180 and Liz Cheney and Kintyger.

00:50:47.440 I mean, a total witch hunt, as the president often would say.

00:50:50.980 And they're demanding I testify and provide documents.

00:50:54.420 Now, here's the thing.

00:50:56.040 President Trump did what George Washington did as our first president.

00:51:02.960 He invoked what's called executive privilege.

00:51:05.920 And for the entire history of our Republicans, entire history of the Supreme Court and the

00:51:11.660 Department of Justice has recognized that people like me, which is to say the highest advisors

00:51:18.960 to the president, we're called alter egos to the president, absolutely cannot be compelled

00:51:24.900 to testify.

00:51:25.640 And the reason is not to hide anything.

00:51:28.620 It's simply to guarantee confidentiality in discussions with any president so that he

00:51:36.940 and the White House can make the best possible decisions.

00:51:39.920 I mean, it's the constitutional separation of powers.

00:51:42.980 Hang on just a sec, Peter.

00:51:44.420 This is honestly what they're doing now to the attorneys, too.

00:51:48.960 I can't believe I live in a country where all of his attorneys who gave him advice are also.

00:51:53.360 They didn't do anything wrong like in Watergate, where they were involved in the crime.

00:52:00.360 These guys were giving advice just like you to the president.

00:52:03.440 And the reason why you have to have that is because sometimes when you're spitballing things,

00:52:09.920 you'll say crazy things.

00:52:11.560 I don't know.

00:52:12.520 What do you say we just take China and flush them down the toilet?

00:52:16.180 And everybody goes, Peter, we're not going to do that.

00:52:19.240 OK, well, if they if that's not confidential, everything comes out that you're just spitballing

00:52:26.560 and no one will give honest advice.

00:52:30.400 That's the problem with this.

00:52:33.120 And and for like the George Washington Jefferson times, it would be like, let's say you you sign

00:52:40.340 a treaty with France.

00:52:42.740 Right.

00:52:43.320 And it turns out that in discussions, France could have got a better deal.

00:52:47.600 And then it comes out afterwards.

00:52:49.060 It's like, you know, I mean, it's just it's just wrong.

00:52:53.100 So I found myself in the crosshairs of the J6 committee and President Trump, I told I said

00:53:01.360 from the very outset, President Trump has invoked executive privilege, not my privilege to waive

00:53:06.940 by law.

00:53:08.780 Go negotiate a waiver of the privilege.

00:53:10.700 I'd be happy to cooperate with you.

00:53:12.460 OK, and that's the way what they never contacted the president.

00:53:15.880 And down the road, they go after me.

00:53:20.900 And here I here.

00:53:22.760 This is crazy.

00:53:23.420 This is important, Glenn.

00:53:25.640 My my my attorney is two of the guys, Stanley Woodward and Stan Brand.

00:53:30.800 Stan Brand is like these guys are the top notch constitutional scholars we have with respect

00:53:36.640 to executive privilege in the country.

00:53:38.440 We have a beautiful shot at the appeal.

00:53:41.080 We always thought it would probably come to appeal because of how the trial unfolded.

00:53:47.600 But but, you know, if it's on my tombstone says that I defended the constitutional separation

00:53:52.660 of power successfully, then, you know, I'll die a happy man.

00:53:56.120 And that's what this fight's about.

00:53:58.300 Glenn, I'm telling you, it's like they are destroying every aspect of our judicial system.

00:54:03.840 Everything.

00:54:04.120 And by the way, my buddies, they're not just trying to put them in prison.

00:54:07.420 They're they're trying to disbar.

00:54:09.840 And it's like a million bucks.

00:54:11.500 You know, I believe like I was one of the blue collar guys going in.

00:54:15.120 Yeah.

00:54:15.940 In the Trump administration, you know, not the hedge fund types.

00:54:19.940 And nobody has.

00:54:21.080 Honestly, Peter, I have I've been in the courtroom with the federal government on the other side.

00:54:27.520 And I'm telling you, there's there's if they if they want to change the rules, if they want

00:54:32.440 to just disobey the court, they'll do it.

00:54:34.420 They'll do it.

00:54:34.940 And nobody has the money that they have.

00:54:37.020 So let me let me switch gears here.

00:54:39.340 First of all, if you want to help him out, defend Peter dot com.

00:54:43.080 That's defend Peter dot com.

00:54:45.460 I urge you to help with the legal defense of really all of these guys who are are fighting

00:54:51.920 this injustice.

00:54:53.780 Peter, let me let me switch to a couple of things.

00:54:56.200 And they revolve around the economy.

00:55:00.600 First of all, the strike, the strike.

00:55:03.700 I mean, Trump has, you know, outwitted Joe Biden, which is not hard.

00:55:09.800 He's on his way to Detroit because these guys are being screwed by the government and nobody's

00:55:17.620 talking about it with this EV thing that's going to get exactly right.

00:55:22.820 So, yeah, let me connect all the dots here.

00:55:25.240 And let me go back four years ago to kind of like my my most fun.

00:55:31.200 And it was fun.

00:55:32.100 Forty eight hours at the White House.

00:55:34.280 And I was a manufacturing czar.

00:55:36.980 And so the boss and I were watching this this GM UAW strike quite intently and quite

00:55:45.120 worryingly because it's stretching over a month and there's no end in sight to the thing.

00:55:50.680 So he kind of gives me the nod.

00:55:52.320 He goes see what you can do.

00:55:53.760 And so I make calls and I managed to act kind of as the intermediary between the GM side

00:56:02.320 and the UAW side.

00:56:05.120 I was working right with the then president of the UAW at the time.

00:56:09.000 Forty eight hours.

00:56:09.860 We got a deal, Glenn, that both sides were happy with.

00:56:13.460 OK, now you fast forward to now.

00:56:16.180 There's not a snowball chance in Hades that I could do that again because of what the Biden

00:56:22.040 regime has done on two fronts, one on the inflation front, one on the China EV front.

00:56:28.040 OK, so Ford and GM, Stellantis, even though they've been making money of late, they face

00:56:36.380 the worst possible future of bankruptcy, even at current wage and benefit levels.

00:56:42.100 And the reason why is because of Biden's Green New Deal EV mandates, electric vehicle mandates.

00:56:51.420 And that necessarily has shipped a lot of the supply chain off to China.

00:56:58.140 And then you have that.

00:56:59.160 I don't know if you like Elon Musk, but that guy, that guy went over to Shanghai.

00:57:04.720 He's made the biggest EV plant in the world using Chinese slave labor and their pollution

00:57:10.920 havens and their government subsidies.

00:57:12.600 And he's getting ready to bury this country with communist Chinese exports.

00:57:19.520 And there's no way that GM and Ford are going to be able to compete with that in a Biden regime.

00:57:26.360 But, you know, Trump, we had the tariffs and we kept that those people at bay.

00:57:32.140 So so the point is that from the from the automakers point of view, they can't really give a lot

00:57:38.080 to the UAW.

00:57:39.220 Now, from the UAW point of view, it's almost even worse because we're in like this this

00:57:44.720 inflationary part now and there's no end in this in sight.

00:57:50.020 So let's suppose you're the UAW president.

00:57:53.020 You negotiate 30 percent wage hike over four years.

00:57:56.880 That sounds pretty good.

00:57:58.560 But what if you get 30 percent inflation or 35 percent?

00:58:02.860 You've gone nowhere.

00:58:04.600 And so what they want.

00:58:05.680 Here's the thing for your listeners to watch.

00:58:07.300 There's only one thing to watch in this negotiation.

00:58:09.740 It's the cola.

00:58:11.160 And I'm not talking about Coca-Cola.

00:58:12.760 I'm talking about a cost of living adjustment.

00:58:15.300 They lost that back in 2007.

00:58:19.000 The UAW wants that back.

00:58:21.320 It's a major sticking point.

00:58:23.200 And if they don't get a cola.

00:58:26.020 They will not be insulated against Biden's inflation.

00:58:29.380 But if the auto companies give them the cola, that's a whole bundle of risk that will probably

00:58:37.360 help take them down.

00:58:38.700 So it's a stalemate.

00:58:39.940 I mean, just the EV alone.

00:58:43.920 I think Ford is losing, what, $2 billion just this last year before the fiscal year was up.

00:58:50.400 And I tried to buy a Ford truck over the summer.

00:58:55.300 They told me that, you know, you're going to have to wait.

00:58:58.420 You can order one now, but it might be six months to 18 months.

00:59:03.720 And what?

00:59:04.580 You're not building.

00:59:06.060 You're not able to build your best selling vehicle on time.

00:59:11.340 You don't have a glut of those when people want them.

00:59:14.180 That's your best selling vehicle.

00:59:15.400 Instead, you're making EVs that are worthless to most people?

00:59:21.480 I mean, this is disaster from the Biden administration.

00:59:25.560 Disaster.

00:59:27.360 Let's look at it from a technology point of view, okay?

00:59:30.320 So the combustion engine fossil fuel car, right?

00:59:35.940 A lot of the UAW jobs and the high value added stuff is in what?

00:59:40.200 It's the engine, okay?

00:59:42.040 Correct.

00:59:42.680 There's no engine in an EV.

00:59:44.100 What's the engine in an EV?

00:59:45.780 It's the battery, right?

00:59:47.480 That's 30% of the cost of the entire car at this point, right?

00:59:51.260 Who has the competitive, comparative advantage in battery making?

00:59:56.000 It's communist China.

00:59:58.060 Yeah.

00:59:58.220 It's communist China.

00:59:58.720 Not even close.

00:59:59.800 Not even close.

01:00:00.880 And so just these people, I think, if you look at kind of the massive overspending bills

01:00:07.460 that Biden has passed, shamefully, with some rhino Republicans' help, a lot of that money

01:00:15.560 is going to be siphoned out of the country over to communist China, right?

01:00:19.960 So American taxpayers are basically subsidizing the demise of the American auto companies.

01:00:27.200 Go figure.

01:00:28.420 Go friggin' figure.

01:00:29.760 We're talking to Peter Navarro.

01:00:33.660 Peter, can you, I don't know how much time do you have.

01:00:35.640 Do you have an extra 20 minutes this morning?

01:00:37.780 Hey, for you, go on.

01:00:39.420 Whatever you need.

01:00:40.300 All right.

01:00:40.620 Hang on.

01:00:41.140 I love what you do.

01:00:42.960 Thank you.

01:00:43.640 Hang on.

01:00:44.180 Peter Navarro, because I want to talk to him about the stock market.

01:00:47.000 I want to talk to him about China, what the Fed did yesterday, and manufacturing.

01:00:54.360 If we lose these plants, if we lose them, and we're going to lose them if we keep going

01:00:59.940 down this road, if we lose these plants, Americans cannot be secure in their defense.

01:01:06.900 It was the American auto workers that won World War II.

01:02:34.160 10 seconds.

01:02:35.000 Station ID.

01:02:35.600 So, Peter, yesterday, Donald Trump made a statement that was pretty stark.

01:02:51.360 He said, I don't think we make it unless we can replace this regime and clean it up.

01:03:00.280 We don't survive past 2024.

01:03:03.480 Do you believe that?

01:03:04.160 I do.

01:03:06.560 And the problem we have is twofold.

01:03:10.100 One is the whole geopolitics of communists, China, Russia, Iran, North Korea.

01:03:16.720 But the other one that's going to hit kind of more immediately the American people is the economic consequences of Biden economics.

01:03:25.660 And what we have here, you know, I'm old enough to have been a young adult during the 70s.

01:03:33.460 When we had, it was 10 years, Glenn, 10 years of stagflationary times, which was a combination of inflation and low growth and recession.

01:03:45.380 Real wages fell.

01:03:47.380 I mean, it was, these were like times when mortgage rates were like well over 10, 12 percent, stuff like that.

01:03:54.400 So, what we have now with the Bidenomics is this kind of massive overspending, which has created this fiscal Keynesian stimulus, which gives us the illusion that there's growth and that the unemployment rate's low.

01:04:13.260 But it's careening us towards a fiscal cliff because of the massive debt that we're just, I mean, we are putting up record numbers of debt.

01:04:23.200 And so, what's happening is the mortgage rates and interest rates are going up.

01:04:30.120 I mean, 7 percent, over 7 percent for a 30-year fix.

01:04:34.780 But if you try to get like a homeowner line of credit right now, it's 10 percent already.

01:04:40.300 And then what that's doing at the commercial sector, it's wiping out commercial real estate, it's wiping out all these financial sector banks and organizations that make money on deals.

01:04:52.420 And there's no end in sight.

01:04:54.280 And the only way the Fed thinks it can solve the problem is by putting blue-collar people out of work to stop wage-price spirals.

01:05:03.120 And so, that's all unfolding.

01:05:04.920 It never would have happened during the Trump years because we understood kind of the difference between structural engines of growth, which are good, and Keynesian ones, which can get you into a whole world of hurt.

01:05:18.840 So, there's all of that going on.

01:05:21.080 And the stock market, I mean...

01:05:23.280 Well, let's get to that here in just a second.

01:05:25.900 And Peter, it's not that you guys understood it.

01:05:28.900 It's that they are trying to dismantle the capitalist system.

01:05:33.820 It's not that they don't even know how to run it, which they don't.

01:05:36.760 They are opposed to it and dismantling all of it.

01:05:40.400 This is, I think, this is the biggest heist in human history.

01:05:45.120 Back with more from Peter Navarro in just a second.

01:07:14.880 Glenn.

01:07:23.860 Peter Navarro joins us.

01:07:27.700 Peter Navarro was with the Trump administration, former assistant to President Trump, White House trade advisor.

01:07:33.960 He was behind our China policy, and a lot of the good things that happened to our economy happened through Peter Navarro.

01:07:42.540 We're glad to have him on today's broadcast.

01:07:45.640 Peter, before we move on, let me just ask you, in the 1980s, we had the same kind of policies from Jimmy Carter,

01:07:56.000 and we had to jack up interest rates to 19% to be able to suck all that money back in and destroy it.

01:08:04.040 There's a lot more money in the system now, and we're still spending like crazy.

01:08:10.020 What is it going to take?

01:08:11.540 How can this be conquered at this point?

01:08:17.420 Well, let me tell you the most important action item for your listeners right now.

01:08:23.300 The debt limit debate is happening as we speak, and it's probably our last exit ramp before the presidential election

01:08:34.320 to force the Democrats to cut back on some of that massive spending they've baked into our economy right now.

01:08:43.960 It's just destructive spending because it's debt financed, it's inflationary, it's going to just overburden everything, right?

01:08:54.500 That's kind of what we can do right now, you know, let Kevin McCarthy know, no deals with the Democrats.

01:09:02.820 This is the time to cut back or, you know, take the money away.

01:09:06.940 They gave the IRS, take the money away from these EV mandates.

01:09:11.420 There's just a whole bunch of stuff we shouldn't be spending on because we don't have the money, Glenn.

01:09:17.260 But because we don't have the money, this is what happened in the 1970s is they just kept making mistakes after mistakes after mistakes,

01:09:30.260 and it was the same scenario.

01:09:31.800 They were overspending Canadian stimulus to stimulate an economy that was suffering,

01:09:37.480 but then it created inflation so the Fed kept raising interest rates, and you're absolutely right.

01:09:43.220 I mean, 19%.

01:09:44.620 You tell people that, Glenn, you tell people that mortgage rates were like at 10% or 12% or 15% just a few decades ago,

01:09:53.280 and they look at it like crazy.

01:09:55.040 Right.

01:09:55.340 We've had it so good for so long, but that's all another story entirely.

01:10:00.320 But, look, this is financial Armageddon.

01:10:04.620 And, you know, one of the things I do is, like, I'm not giving stock market advice,

01:10:09.400 but I've always, as an economist, forecasted the stock market because it's a leading indicator of the economy, right?

01:10:16.680 And right now we're on the verge of a market correction.

01:10:22.160 The last five weeks have been just a nightmare in the S&P 500.

01:10:28.140 And what's happening is both Main Street and Wall Street are going to get clobbered.

01:10:34.400 The only people who make money on this misery are the big hedge fund program traders who will make billions

01:10:42.560 regardless if the market's going up and down because they can play both sides, okay?

01:10:46.700 Everybody else, I mean, people who are working for a living right now are going to see wage increases,

01:10:53.000 but inflation is going to eat most or all or more of that away.

01:10:58.380 Take that to the bank.

01:10:59.680 And then people with their 401ks and IRAs and things like that, hey, we did a beautiful thing in the Trump years

01:11:07.760 building up the stock market.

01:11:09.460 And it's just, I mean, people look at that stuff and they go, wow, that's going to take me another five years now

01:11:15.280 before I can retire.

01:11:16.220 Well, guess what?

01:11:16.680 It's going to be another 10 years at the rate we're going.

01:11:18.980 The point here, I think, is elections matter.

01:11:21.460 And we need somebody to understand how economies grow.

01:11:26.900 And it ain't the guy in the office right now.

01:11:29.500 Okay.

01:11:29.700 So help me out on this, Peter.

01:11:32.560 Yeah.

01:11:33.040 I know that Donald Trump always bets on the future.

01:11:35.760 And it's smart.

01:11:37.120 I mean, I, when I buy a house, I try to keep within reason, but I bet on I'm going to do better down the road.

01:11:46.400 And this won't break my back even at this time, but it'll be a lot easier as I, as I grow.

01:11:54.820 And I think that's the way Donald Trump looks at the economy.

01:11:57.640 He's doesn't mind spending money if we're going to grow past it.

01:12:00.700 However, we are, we're way, way out of whack.

01:12:06.560 He wasn't the best on spending.

01:12:08.940 Can we count on him to do spending cuts?

01:12:14.900 Yeah, you have to.

01:12:17.040 I mean, he's crazy.

01:12:18.140 Like, let's start with the EV mandates.

01:12:20.440 I mean, they are basically the full employment act for communist China.

01:12:25.620 Okay.

01:12:26.080 Why would you do that?

01:12:28.120 Why would you do that?

01:12:30.360 And the reason why the Bidenites do it is because they worship at a global altar where they don't understand the economic implications of their utopian Green New Deal.

01:12:44.400 They just don't get it.

01:12:45.960 They just don't get it.

01:12:47.100 I mean, AOC is as blank upstairs on economics as you can ever imagine.

01:12:54.700 And these are the people leading us, Glenn.

01:12:56.820 You know, elections have consequences.

01:12:59.520 Now, when Trump gets in in 2025, absent, look, right now, right now, over the next 30 days, we've got a chance to at least negotiate some of that excess spending now.

01:13:13.880 Okay.

01:13:14.360 So tell me, because tell the average person why the government shut down.

01:13:19.940 You shouldn't fear it.

01:13:23.200 Because the alternative is the continued reckless spending that's going to destroy this country as we know it.

01:13:31.880 And that's not hyperbole.

01:13:33.300 That's just fact.

01:13:34.880 That's just fact.

01:13:36.020 Look, you've got to remember, Biden, as Vice President Obama, in eight years, doubled the national debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion.

01:13:46.560 Okay?

01:13:46.780 Think about that.

01:13:47.720 $10 trillion to $20 trillion.

01:13:49.140 They doubled it in their eight years.

01:13:51.600 What Biden is doing to the debt, as we speak, is going to be even worse than that.

01:13:57.020 And we're only, like, what, three years into this nonsense.

01:14:00.660 It's like, and it's all loaded in there.

01:14:05.660 And McCarthy, good God, I don't know what that man was thinking when he agreed to everything he agreed to, him and McConnell.

01:14:14.440 It's like it was the corporate uniparty basically pushing us that.

01:14:20.580 So my point here, Glenn, I want to leave people with action.

01:14:24.280 You know, they want to give them some action.

01:14:26.140 It's like tell the Congress to cut back on their spending as part of the debt limit deal.

01:14:32.040 And don't fall prey to the sky's falling crap that's happening, that they're going to say is going to happen.

01:14:39.480 And it's very simple.

01:14:41.360 So you see a crash coming, or not a crash, but a correction coming in the stock market.

01:14:47.880 But how long?

01:14:49.800 Well, one man's correction is another man's crash.

01:14:52.520 We're going to lose anywhere from 15% to 30% of value.

01:14:57.840 Holy cow.

01:14:59.240 We've already lost.

01:15:00.840 Look, the last five weeks, you know, we're down another percent today as we speak.

01:15:06.880 I mean, you know, maybe a positive.

01:15:08.080 But look, why would the stock market go up other than the fact that we've been throwing too much money fiscally into it?

01:15:17.360 And there's just a lot of money sloshing around, okay?

01:15:19.440 It's a faux bull market, okay?

01:15:22.380 It's just, it's a faux bull market.

01:15:24.600 How much time does the dollar have as the global world reserve currency and actually being something that has value?

01:15:38.560 Well, there's two competing forces there, and it's like the Kentucky Derby, you know, like you can watch them kind of going around the track.

01:15:48.980 On the one hand, you've got all the rogue nations that don't want to get sanctioned by the U.S. government for their bad behavior, trying to establish their own currency, principally the communist Chinese currency.

01:16:01.960 And that's the BRIC countries.

01:16:03.400 You've got Russia.

01:16:05.100 You've got China.

01:16:06.680 You've got all the oil emirates who don't want to be on the dollar.

01:16:10.120 You've got India stabbing us in the back.

01:16:13.120 And from a population standpoint, it's well over half of the world.

01:16:18.240 Right, right.

01:16:19.260 So that's going on, but the problem is also for people who want to get sucked into that, that has its own risk.

01:16:29.340 So, you know, the dollar, it's kind of like the lesser of all the evils, right?

01:16:36.300 Even though things are getting more and more unstable here, they continue to get even more unstable in the world.

01:16:42.620 I mean, you look at communist China, right?

01:16:44.280 It's like money, corporate money, except dumb Elon Musk, the smartest, dumbest guy I've ever seen.

01:16:50.860 He's like, a lot of that corporate money is coming out of China now because they know that China is about to invade Taiwan, you know, maybe tomorrow, maybe next year, certainly within the next five years.

01:17:02.720 What's that going to do?

01:17:03.980 It's going to put a, you know, there are going to be seasoned Tesla plants there when that happens, and it's going to hit the fan.

01:17:12.120 So the point is, you ask me where the dollar goes, it's like, well, it still has attractiveness because everywhere else has so much unattractiveness, but China's coming hard with their brick zone on us.

01:17:28.620 And, look, people, to preserve their wealth, to protect their job, they need to be financially and economically market literate, and that's a tall order.

01:17:42.520 Okay?

01:17:43.300 Because, you know, I've got good friends now who look at their 401k, and it's like they've lost, you know, like a third of it.

01:17:52.340 And they ask me, I go, I look at it, I go, wow, your stockbroker's got you in highly speculative investments, and you're 55 years old.

01:18:01.620 Why do you do that?

01:18:03.200 Well, you know, that's what these guys do.

01:18:05.740 So, anyway, I don't want to be Mr. Gloom and Doom.

01:18:09.220 I'm not bad guy, okay?

01:18:10.680 I know that's me.

01:18:12.100 That's my job.

01:18:12.880 I know this country is the strongest in the world, but under proper stewardship.

01:18:18.920 And I can't think of somebody worse running the White House right now than Joe Biden, because everything he is doing is wrong geopolitically and economically.

01:18:32.200 So, in terms of what you can do in the short term, it's like call your congressman and say, hey, reduce the spending or don't vote for that debt limit increase.

01:18:43.300 Okay?

01:18:43.880 That's the deal.

01:18:45.400 It's like, we've got to cut trillions off future spending or we're going to be in trouble.

01:18:51.420 Okay.

01:18:53.120 And then, in the meantime, 2024, November 2024, pick your candidate.

01:18:58.860 You know who mine is.

01:18:59.760 It's Donald John Trump.

01:19:01.880 And Glenn, thank you for the defendpeter.com plug there, defendpeter.com.

01:20:03.760 High inflation is devouring your paycheck.

01:20:16.440 Bills are piling up.

01:20:18.640 Listen, if you have some money saved with all this turbulence, may I please come close to begging you to look into gold or silver?

01:20:29.860 I'm not saying it's right for you.

01:20:31.460 It is for my family.

01:20:33.100 It's tried and tested, and it is what the world always goes back to in the end.

01:21:03.740 Glenn Beck.

01:21:22.800 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:21:25.060 Meet the candidates.

01:21:26.140 Our podcast continues with Ron.

01:21:30.960 Yeah, that's exact.

01:21:32.220 I noticed that that happened.

01:21:34.280 I knew it.

01:21:35.440 Is this a...

01:21:36.060 Peter Navarro?

01:21:37.800 Yeah.

01:21:38.080 Oh, Mr. Trump-Trumper overheater is putting Peter Navarro on the air for 40 minutes.

01:21:43.880 Won't talk to Ron DeSantis.

01:21:45.580 No, I'm...

01:21:45.900 Ignores everything about Ron DeSantis.

01:21:48.700 Okay.

01:21:49.080 How come you won't talk to Ron DeSantis?

01:21:51.140 Hey, primary, primary guy.

01:21:53.220 Yeah.

01:21:53.720 Primary guy.

01:21:54.480 What?

01:21:54.620 Let me just say, meet the candidates.

01:21:56.900 Yeah.

01:21:57.040 The podcast series continues with Ron DeSantis.

01:22:00.740 Donald Trump again.

01:22:01.940 Ron DeSantis.

01:22:03.680 Wow.

01:22:04.120 Today.

01:22:05.620 How come you won't talk about Doug Burgum?

01:22:09.340 Hey.

01:22:10.280 Thank you, primary guy.

01:22:11.440 Thank you.

01:22:11.860 Meet the candidates.

01:22:13.040 This podcast series continues with Ron DeSantis, who's going to be in the studios later this

01:22:17.920 afternoon.

01:22:19.000 It will air first for Blaze TV subscribers tonight at 9 p.m.

01:22:23.600 and on my YouTube channel and wherever you get your podcasts this Saturday.

01:22:28.380 By the way, I want to remind you that the podcast series is open to all presidential candidates.

01:22:33.880 I would love to do one with President Biden.

01:22:37.380 We've extended an invite to everybody campaigning.

01:22:41.220 Donald Trump, RFK Jr.

01:22:43.160 I would love to have RFK Jr. on.

01:22:46.180 He was supposed to come on and then scheduling conflicts.

01:22:50.180 I'd love to have him on.

01:22:51.680 Love to have him on.

01:22:53.160 Sure, it would be riveting.

01:22:54.680 Sure, that would be a riveting interview.

01:22:55.900 And Stu is not going to be in the studio.

01:22:57.400 No.

01:22:57.800 Stu really is.

01:22:58.600 I don't like him.

01:22:59.300 You've never gotten past.

01:23:00.380 And again, like, how long do we have to keep playing this game like he's competitive here?

01:23:04.620 Like, he's down by, he's down by, what, 60 points in this race?

01:23:08.720 Yeah, I notice you'll take down RFK, but you won't say a word about Biden.

01:23:17.080 Oh, we're not talking about RFK, huh?

01:23:19.820 What about Brian Williamson?

01:23:21.760 How come you don't put you on?

01:23:23.340 I know it's another making her name.

01:23:27.660 This is the season we're on right now.

01:23:29.140 I know.

01:23:29.540 This is the season we're in.

01:23:30.880 It's all crazy.

01:23:31.560 Everyone goes nuts during primary season.

01:23:33.200 Everyone complains.

01:23:34.360 Hey, I was on Twitter yesterday.

01:23:36.100 I was on Twitter yesterday.

01:23:38.080 First of all, notice you don't call it X.com.

01:23:40.240 Thanks a lot for that.

01:23:40.980 But secondarily, I saw an interview, and you haven't commented on it yesterday.

01:23:46.060 How come you haven't commented on the thing that I saw on the internet?

01:23:49.500 Why won't you do it?

01:23:51.380 Why?

01:23:51.860 Who are you protecting?

01:23:53.440 Oh, my God.

01:23:55.640 You saw a thing.

01:23:57.400 Good job, everybody.

01:23:58.960 You watched something on the internet.

01:24:00.860 Sorry we haven't talked about all your internet viewing yet.

01:24:04.020 You know, can I just tell you, the reason I hired Stu originally is because he was the

01:24:11.040 one that was going to calm me down.

01:24:13.500 He was going to be the one that was, you know, slow down, slow down.

01:24:20.220 Look, I'm not good at a lot of things.

01:24:21.840 This is just one of them.

01:24:23.420 But that's like your main job.

01:24:25.720 You're the one that employs me.

01:24:27.460 It's your judgment at stake.

01:24:29.920 I'm not going to fire myself.

01:24:33.220 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:34.560 We've got no room to compromise.

01:24:52.020 We've got to stand together.

01:24:54.120 It's the course of life.

01:24:58.020 Stand up, stand, hold the line.

01:25:01.020 It's a new day I'm trying to raise.

01:25:09.000 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:25:16.900 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:19.360 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:26.020 Sure, I know it feels like everything's out of control, right?

01:25:29.680 Am I right?

01:25:31.000 You know, the federal government just cut the razor wire on our southern border here in

01:25:36.820 Texas yesterday.

01:25:38.320 You know, there are just 4,000 Venezuelans on the other side, along with 14,000 other people.

01:25:45.220 But, sure, that feels like a country out of control, but I'm sure it's not, you know.

01:25:53.900 You know, we've got a constitution.

01:25:57.180 We're a constitutional republic, democracy thing.

01:26:01.080 And it's working out well for us.

01:26:03.500 So, what do we do about it?

01:26:05.120 I'll tell you in 60 seconds.

01:26:06.780 First of all, I am so much into the history of our nation and our family, and I will tell

01:26:16.800 you, when I found out that I had a great-great-uncle and a great-great-grandfather die in the notorious

01:26:26.020 southern prison camp of Andersonville, and actually only one of them died.

01:26:32.680 My grandfather, he lived, but was never the same.

01:26:38.280 It changed me.

01:26:40.220 It changed me.

01:26:41.160 It gave me, I don't know, deeper roots in where I come from and that we stood against

01:26:50.820 slavery and they fought and suffered.

01:26:53.780 That meant something to me.

01:26:56.300 And only when you find that do you understand what I'm talking about.

01:27:00.740 Well, I'm into history and I'm trying to preserve as much as I can, and that includes my own

01:27:06.720 family history.

01:27:07.720 My family has never been really good at keeping records and history.

01:27:12.400 Well, who's got all of the pictures of my grandparents and their life?

01:27:18.420 I don't know.

01:27:19.540 I don't know.

01:27:20.140 I don't think we have them.

01:27:21.940 You have to be the historian for your family.

01:27:25.200 And all of the pictures, all of the videotapes, everything that you've had, those fade.

01:27:31.360 Videotapes are only supposed to last 10 years.

01:27:33.180 And if they even sit in your attic, your garage, or your basement, you're kind of screwed with

01:27:36.560 them.

01:27:36.740 You've got to digitize them right away.

01:27:40.240 Legacy Box is here to help you do that.

01:27:42.500 Legacybox.com slash Beck.

01:27:44.420 If you order the box now, you'll save 40% and you send it in whenever you're ready.

01:27:49.220 Now, it's an easy process.

01:27:51.080 It's all done here in America.

01:27:52.720 It's everything done by hand.

01:27:55.860 And they'll send you back all of the original copies, plus the digitized version, so you can

01:28:00.780 save it for generations.

01:28:02.480 So they know what your family was like.

01:28:05.300 They know what life was like in America at some point.

01:28:09.200 Legacybox.com slash Beck.

01:28:11.660 Legacybox.com slash Beck.

01:28:15.880 Now, I don't know.

01:28:17.340 It feels like the world might be a little bit out of control.

01:28:21.320 I want to give you this South Carolina man.

01:28:23.520 His name is Randolph White.

01:28:26.080 He gave the local TV station a reenactment of the F-35 flying past him just before it crashed.

01:28:39.700 Here it is.

01:28:40.400 White says he didn't realize it was a plane at the time, so he didn't call anybody.

01:29:00.640 The first thought came to me.

01:29:01.940 I said, must put a meteorite come out of space or something?

01:29:06.520 And I said, well, if the airplane, it need to be reported.

01:29:09.020 The thing we're flying is too low.

01:29:10.660 I love that guy.

01:29:13.620 I love him, too.

01:29:14.620 I want him to get a network television show.

01:29:18.200 Oh, I do.

01:29:18.940 I just can listen and tell stories.

01:29:21.440 All day.

01:29:21.700 Just tell me stories.

01:29:22.480 Just tell me things that happened in your life.

01:29:24.060 Tell me the F-35 thing again.

01:29:26.000 Like, you've got to do that.

01:29:27.220 Yeah!

01:29:27.580 I love that.

01:29:30.960 I love that.

01:29:31.820 So is he wearing a tactical vest there?

01:29:34.700 I don't know what he was wearing.

01:29:36.400 He's wearing like a sun hat that you wear while you're farming or something.

01:29:40.020 Yes.

01:29:40.260 And then also a tactical vest.

01:29:42.440 I don't know.

01:29:43.100 I don't know what's happening.

01:29:44.020 I don't know.

01:29:44.500 Whatever is happening in this person's world, I want to know more about it.

01:29:50.040 Because it would be less confusing than what's happening in all of our world.

01:29:54.340 Like, if tomorrow you told me I could pay 20 bucks to go watch a documentary on him,

01:30:02.100 knowing just what I know from the last 30 seconds, I would be there.

01:30:05.360 I would do it.

01:30:05.700 I'd be first in line to buy a ticket.

01:30:07.320 I'd do it.

01:30:07.960 I'd want to know.

01:30:08.860 Let me ask you if this makes sense to you.

01:30:10.780 Could you please play Cut Six?

01:30:12.280 This is Joe Biden meeting Bibi Netanyahu.

01:30:17.180 What the hell did he just do?

01:30:24.340 Could you just play this again and describe?

01:30:27.160 Watch the president.

01:30:27.660 I've checked it over 40 years.

01:30:29.400 And our friendship goes a long way and can take us a long way.

01:30:33.620 Uh-huh.

01:30:34.340 Yeah.

01:30:34.760 Could you describe what he just did?

01:30:36.600 Do it again.

01:30:37.360 Play it again.

01:30:37.900 You describe it here, Stu.

01:30:39.460 They're sitting together.

01:30:41.740 Yeah, he does the cross.

01:30:44.200 The sign of the cross.

01:30:45.320 Yeah.

01:30:46.220 He's a Catholic thing.

01:30:47.700 Yeah.

01:30:47.920 Yeah.

01:30:48.800 That's really not probably the thing to do with the prime minister of Israel.

01:30:55.720 You know, I don't know if he ever saw the end of Fiddler on the Roof.

01:30:59.600 But it's not a great, you know, not a great history there.

01:31:04.860 Hmm.

01:31:05.180 But he's making the sign of the cross.

01:31:08.340 And, you know, I think that, no, no, that makes sense.

01:31:11.560 Last night, it makes more sense than what he did at a fundraiser.

01:31:15.700 Last night, the president told a story about how he, why he first got in to run for president

01:31:23.180 in 2017, I think it was.

01:31:25.240 Yeah.

01:31:25.460 Uh, and he said, well, I, I, I got into it because of Charlottesville.

01:31:30.640 Right.

01:31:30.880 Charlottesville.

01:31:31.580 That was his big, he, now he, we should point out before we get to the actual news content

01:31:36.280 of the story that over and over again, it has been uncovered that he was not telling

01:31:41.320 the truth about this.

01:31:42.380 He was not actually inspired by Charlottesville.

01:31:45.000 This was a lie.

01:31:46.200 Of course.

01:31:47.040 A lie that was a convenient lie.

01:31:48.260 We know that.

01:31:48.500 Well, I just thought I didn't.

01:31:49.720 Yeah, we know that.

01:31:49.880 Just in case someone missed that part of the story.

01:31:52.260 No.

01:31:52.600 The story itself is not actually true.

01:31:54.860 Right.

01:31:55.620 It's important to know that.

01:31:56.540 We expect that.

01:31:57.180 I'm sorry.

01:31:57.780 I shouldn't have even interrupted.

01:31:59.100 Yes.

01:31:59.480 Thanks.

01:32:00.240 So then he tells the story and I'm sure it was electrifying.

01:32:05.780 Oh yeah.

01:32:06.480 And then he stops and he tells the story again, almost verbatim.

01:32:14.900 This is not according to some right wing outlet.

01:32:17.040 This is the white house pool report on this that said he told the exact same story a couple

01:32:22.980 of minutes later, almost word for word.

01:32:25.780 Yeah.

01:32:26.900 That's not the number one sign of a healthy brain.

01:32:31.800 No, no.

01:32:33.240 But I think it might be contagious.

01:32:34.860 I want to just remember what we just talked about.

01:32:37.580 He had no idea, no idea that he had just said that.

01:32:41.520 Listen to this from yesterday in Congress.

01:32:44.140 Cut three.

01:32:45.080 Listen to this.

01:32:45.720 Have you had personal contact with anyone at FBI headquarters about the Hunter Biden

01:32:51.160 investigation?

01:32:56.880 I don't I don't I don't recollect the answer to that question, but the FBI works for the

01:33:01.820 Justice Department.

01:33:03.240 It's I'm sorry.

01:33:04.000 I'm sorry.

01:33:04.280 You don't recollect.

01:33:05.520 You don't recollect whether you've talked with anybody at FBI headquarters about an investigation

01:33:09.440 of the president's son.

01:33:10.440 I don't believe that I did.

01:33:13.060 So it might be something.

01:33:15.240 It could be a new thing of COVID.

01:33:17.480 Maybe the new the new, you know, latest version of COVID long COVID maybe knocks out the memory

01:33:23.700 marks out the memory because it seems to be it seems to be happening.

01:33:29.220 It's a very interesting.

01:33:30.260 By the way, this is mainly for Blaze TV subscribers.

01:33:32.920 But do you notice that it seems like Mila Kunis is sitting behind the congressman in that

01:33:37.320 clip?

01:33:38.140 Have you noticed this?

01:33:38.840 Look, I swear it's not.

01:33:41.680 I don't think it's actually her, but it could definitely be her sitting behind the congressman

01:33:46.680 randomly in the middle of this clip.

01:33:49.300 And would make sense.

01:33:50.400 Maybe this is her penance for, you know, writing a nice letter about Danny Masterson.

01:33:55.100 Now she has to sit behind Republicans on TV.

01:33:57.920 Well, there you go.

01:33:59.720 Does it feel like you can't control anything?

01:34:04.400 Does it feel like that?

01:34:05.480 Like everything is out of control.

01:34:08.740 Your school is out of control.

01:34:10.040 Your kids are out of control.

01:34:11.900 Society's out of control.

01:34:13.140 Disney is out of control.

01:34:15.740 Your bank account is out of control.

01:34:17.980 The spending is out of control.

01:34:19.820 The border.

01:34:20.700 I don't know.

01:34:21.280 I want it closed.

01:34:22.640 It's open.

01:34:23.360 It seems like a lot of people in a country want it closed.

01:34:28.500 Even people who vote differently want it closed, but it's open.

01:34:32.160 I really don't want Antifa in the streets, but they're there.

01:34:36.460 I'd like people to follow the Constitution, but they don't.

01:34:41.380 They don't.

01:34:42.920 I don't want to see a kid sterilized, a baby killed, a family broken.

01:34:48.460 I don't think we should be cutting breasts off of, you know, young adults.

01:34:53.920 Just me.

01:34:54.720 But it's happening.

01:34:59.540 And it's becoming more and more frustrating, at least for me.

01:35:03.260 It's becoming very frustrating because I think we're running out of time.

01:35:06.640 And, you know, I'm always bad on timing.

01:35:11.140 And I don't think I've ever been bad on timing where it was like, oops, it just happened.

01:35:19.040 I'm usually wrong.

01:35:20.520 I'm usually way ahead of the curve, which gives me some, some.

01:35:25.320 Now, it gives my wife sleep.

01:35:27.640 It doesn't really help me.

01:35:29.060 But all I can do and all you can do is inform, educate, warn, organize.

01:35:37.160 But at the end of the day, yeah, we're not in control.

01:35:40.320 And that makes you feel hopeless at times.

01:35:44.540 No way out.

01:35:46.020 No way out.

01:35:48.800 So what's the antidote to hopelessness?

01:35:53.800 It's found in the serenity prayer, really.

01:35:56.080 Find the things you can control and know the difference between the two.

01:36:03.260 What can you control?

01:36:07.080 You.

01:36:08.040 That's pretty much it.

01:36:09.520 You.

01:36:10.740 And I know, I mean, I'm a recovering alcoholic.

01:36:13.000 So there is lots of, lots of years there.

01:36:15.760 I couldn't control myself.

01:36:17.120 And there's flashes of that now from time to time while I'm reading the news and I'm on the air.

01:36:23.260 Can't control myself.

01:36:24.820 But yes, I can.

01:36:27.040 Because it's the only thing I can do.

01:36:30.640 I bring this up because we're coming into the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, the day of atonement, which I absolutely love.

01:36:38.180 The Jewish traditions are so great.

01:36:42.160 We're currently in what is called the days of awe.

01:36:47.780 And it's time for the whole community to prepare and ask for God's forgiveness and mercy.

01:36:53.560 That's the day of atonement.

01:36:55.300 You atone for everything you've done wrong.

01:36:57.540 So while you're preparing to ask God's forgiveness and mercy, you seek reconciliation with your fellow man.

01:37:08.980 Now, this is an ancient Jewish teaching that says on the day of atonement, there's no forgiveness from God for your sins.

01:37:17.000 You know, that you've committed against another man until you've sought the forgiveness from the person you wronged directly.

01:37:25.680 Now, I'd like to add the really, really ancient version of this from Bill W.

01:37:35.400 That's like, unless that's going to make things worse.

01:37:38.640 You know, if you're wrong, somebody, you need to go and say, unless it's like, why, you son of, and then it just makes everything worse.

01:37:50.440 You do what you can.

01:37:54.780 This is what Jesus was talking about.

01:37:56.820 You know, Jesus, a lot of people are shocked by this, but I'm going to let you know a secret.

01:38:00.420 Jesus was a Jew.

01:38:02.760 Yeah, he was.

01:38:03.760 I know, I know, I know.

01:38:05.760 Take a pill or something.

01:38:06.920 Calm down.

01:38:08.640 But Jesus was a Jew.

01:38:10.660 And this is what he was talking about.

01:38:12.560 He said, if you're on your way to give a gift to God and you're not at peace with your brother, go reconcile with your brother first.

01:38:18.220 Then go back and give the gift to God.

01:38:21.720 I don't know about you, but we got to get back to God.

01:38:26.580 But right now, a lot of us are just a mess.

01:38:29.260 We're a mess.

01:38:31.280 We're flying off the handle.

01:38:33.180 We're saying things to our own family because they said it first.

01:38:36.960 First, we're third graders.

01:38:44.820 And the only thing that is going to solve all of this is the peace of Christ.

01:38:52.520 Christ is the peace that you get from your faith in God.

01:39:00.300 Because when you do, you go to your fellow man.

01:39:03.940 You fix it as best as you can.

01:39:06.540 And then you go to God and say, I tried to fix it.

01:39:11.220 He's even more pissed now.

01:39:12.860 But I tried the best I could.

01:39:16.480 Forgive me.

01:39:18.860 And then, God willing, he does the rest.

01:39:23.860 But we at least have to wash our hands.

01:39:27.560 Before you come to the table, can you just wash your hands, wash your face?

01:39:31.360 Is that too much to ask?

01:39:33.060 Yeah.

01:39:34.360 It's really not.

01:39:35.900 It's really not.

01:39:40.100 This is the reason why this problem is so hard to fix is because we keep expecting a man to step in and fix it.

01:39:49.560 This problem is way too deep.

01:39:51.880 Way too deep.

01:39:54.120 You know, I had somebody arguing the Constitution with me the other day.

01:39:57.340 And they were like, we don't need to go back to the Constitution.

01:39:59.940 The Constitution won't work.

01:40:01.160 Really?

01:40:03.540 That won't work.

01:40:05.300 You know, even the founder said, you know, it's wholly inaccurate or wholly inadequate for people that are, you know, not spiritual.

01:40:18.580 Yeah, yeah.

01:40:19.360 Actually, it was, you know, if you're not morally and religiously centered, it's not going to work.

01:40:25.880 So, we know that.

01:40:27.020 They're right.

01:40:27.480 It's not going to work.

01:40:28.280 So, his idea?

01:40:30.360 We got to get rid of it and try to do something else.

01:40:34.080 You know, why don't we try something that we haven't tried for 100 years, living by those rules and getting ourselves back into where we are supposed to be?

01:40:44.940 When the whole world feels like a mess, clean up your life first.

01:40:51.460 Just clean it up first.

01:40:54.340 If we all do that, if we really try to treat each other like children of God and that you are my brother.

01:41:02.740 I am your brother.

01:41:04.900 You're my sister.

01:41:06.100 We are.

01:41:06.820 I don't care how we voted.

01:41:09.260 We are our family.

01:41:10.880 We are the human family.

01:41:12.340 We're the American family.

01:41:16.660 And if we just treat each other like that, things will get better.

01:41:23.220 We won't clean it all up.

01:41:24.900 But we'll do our best and leave the rest to God.

01:41:34.180 You have a choice as to what you're going to feed your family.

01:41:36.900 Giving them the best isn't always the easiest thing, especially food prices being as high as they are right now.

01:41:43.580 Here's the good news.

01:41:44.560 You can at least give them the best when it comes to the meat you buy when you use Good Ranchers.

01:41:50.480 If you subscribe to any of their monthly meat boxes, you're going to...

01:41:54.400 That doesn't sound good, does it?

01:41:56.180 Hey, I got a monthly meat box.

01:43:01.060 Hey, some good news.

01:43:11.780 Zelensky's going to the Pentagon.

01:43:14.180 He's going to meet there.

01:43:15.440 I hope we show him some secrets and stuff.

01:43:19.180 You know, hey, we don't have any more money to give you.

01:43:21.880 Congress won't do that.

01:43:22.800 But here's how we build nuclear weapons.

01:43:25.900 I mean, that would be good, wouldn't it?

01:43:27.480 I mean, sure.

01:43:28.120 It'd be helpful, I'm sure.

01:43:29.120 Sure it would.

01:43:29.920 Sure it would.

01:43:30.580 Of course, Ukraine had nuclear weapons and they gave them back to Russia.

01:43:34.460 At our request, yes.

01:43:36.940 At our request.

01:43:37.640 Shouldn't have done that.

01:43:38.460 You know what?

01:43:38.860 Here's the rule I have.

01:43:39.800 If you're running a country, if you happen to be listening to the show and running a country today,

01:43:42.780 you have nuclear weapons.

01:43:44.320 Keep them.

01:43:44.840 Keep them.

01:43:45.460 Don't give them up.

01:43:46.020 South Africa, you're another example of this.

01:43:48.260 You have them, don't give them up.

01:43:49.940 Because it doesn't put you in a better position.

01:43:52.300 Even if you promise to never use them, just stash them away and act like you have them.

01:43:56.840 Yeah.

01:43:57.080 Because, honestly, it's never a good...

01:43:59.960 You see what happened with Ukraine when they don't have them anymore?

01:44:02.840 Yeah.

01:44:03.420 This is...

01:44:04.100 Even when they start to leak and stuff and the guy who's been protecting them comes out,

01:44:08.060 he has no teeth, no hair, and only one eye.

01:44:10.200 You still say, nope, they're in perfect condition.

01:44:12.320 They could fly at any time.

01:44:13.540 Exactly.

01:44:14.020 Yeah.

01:44:14.820 A hundred percent, that's what you do.

01:44:16.480 That's what you do.

01:44:17.080 That's exactly what you do.

01:44:18.700 What?

01:44:19.020 The three-eyed goldfish?

01:44:20.020 What are you talking about?

01:44:20.980 Now, Poland has now said it's no longer going to supply Ukraine with any weapons.

01:44:27.680 Wait a minute.

01:44:28.380 Hold it.

01:44:28.920 What?

01:44:30.940 They're pulling out.

01:44:32.240 Now, they're pulling out over, what, an agricultural dispute of some sort?

01:44:35.800 Yeah.

01:44:35.820 Okay.

01:44:36.040 So, yes.

01:44:36.640 I have not...

01:44:37.200 And it's kind of a big deal.

01:44:38.080 Okay.

01:44:38.260 Because, you know, Ukraine has so much grain and Russia is blocking all of it, they've

01:44:46.260 just shipped it to Europe and, you know, just gouged the prices.

01:44:52.360 To the west.

01:44:53.620 Right.

01:44:54.020 And so now, all the farmers in Poland are like, wait, we have no money.

01:45:00.400 I mean, this is a really impossible spot for both of these countries, I would suppose.

01:45:03.900 Oh, yeah.

01:45:04.000 But, I mean, this is just, I don't know, it seems self-evident, but if Poland thinks

01:45:11.020 that they can stop giving weapons because they're apparently less concerned about Russia's

01:45:15.980 advance than the grain imports, perhaps we don't need to be doing this.

01:45:21.400 Yeah, I'm just saying.

01:45:23.520 Because I do think there's some U.S. interests in what happens here.

01:45:27.740 But if Poland doesn't see it that way, and they're right there, maybe we should reconsider

01:45:33.120 it a little bit.

01:45:34.000 I think we have some interest in it, but not what we're doing.

01:45:37.440 Yeah, I mean, that's the line.

01:45:38.540 Yeah, right.

01:45:39.720 I mean, it's unsustainable in what we're doing right now.

01:45:44.380 Good news is, it looks like McCarthy said no to a joint session of Congress for Zelensky

01:45:50.480 to make another pitch for more money.

01:45:53.480 Good.

01:45:54.520 Good.

01:45:55.200 I don't believe you, McCarthy, but good.

01:45:57.320 Now, stand up and do not allow an omnibus bill to go through.

01:46:06.860 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:46:09.480 Well, it's unfortunately the case the events of 9-11 didn't stop taking lives on 9-12.

01:46:15.060 The generation that's growing up right now knows almost nothing about it.

01:46:18.980 It's sad, but true.

01:46:22.380 The Tunnel to Towers 9-11 Institute was formed specifically because they're not teaching this

01:46:29.460 anymore.

01:46:30.940 And so the Tunnel to Towers Institute, they are helping educate kids from kindergarten through

01:46:35.840 the 12th grade about the darkest day in our nation's history.

01:46:38.720 No, no, not January 6th, but 9-11.

01:46:43.100 Their non-fiction first-person accounts are told through videos in Discovering Heroes book

01:46:48.120 series.

01:46:48.880 They're moving true stories that can help a new generation of kids to never forget what

01:46:54.460 we went through and why.

01:46:56.940 This institute offers a full curriculum, social studies, lessons, activities, background for

01:47:01.420 teachers, speakers for the classroom, access to 9-11 first responders, survivors, loved

01:47:07.180 ones, they even have a mobile exhibit.

01:47:09.440 If you would like to help prepare the next generation to understand America and educate,

01:47:16.060 please donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers, T2T.org.

01:47:21.580 That's T2T.org.

01:47:23.440 Get early access to Glenn's interview with Ron DeSantis on blazetv.com slash Glenn.

01:47:28.860 The promo code is Glenn.

01:47:30.220 You're interviewing Gerald R. Ford.

01:47:37.180 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:47:42.220 I want to play a highlight from yesterday with the attorney general testifying in front

01:47:48.960 of the House committee.

01:47:50.780 This is some of, I mean, there's only a play about a minute of it.

01:47:54.720 You have to look it up.

01:47:55.760 We'll tweet it out.

01:47:57.280 This is the most satisfying five minutes I've heard in a long time.

01:48:02.240 It's a representative, Victoria Sparks.

01:48:05.400 She grew up in the Soviet Union and she had a thing or two to get off her chest.

01:48:11.760 Listen to this.

01:48:12.900 Attorney general, you had a very moving statement about your grandparents coming here from Belarus

01:48:21.340 to live in the country without fear of prosecution.

01:48:24.820 I grew up in a very similar country, Ukraine now.

01:48:30.180 And when I came here as a young person, I believed in the value as an American not to

01:48:37.780 be afraid of my government.

01:48:40.460 But I wanted to tell you and I want to share with you and get your thoughts on that.

01:48:45.080 Are you aware that a lot of Americans are now afraid of being prosecuted by your department?

01:48:52.420 Are you aware about that?

01:48:53.580 I think that constant attacks on the department and saying that...

01:48:58.340 It's not attacks.

01:48:59.020 Well, let me give you an example.

01:49:00.420 I don't know what...

01:49:00.700 You talk about January 6th.

01:49:02.480 I'm sorry?

01:49:02.940 Here, there are some people came on January 6th.

01:49:05.220 There probably were some people that came on January 6th here, you know, that had bad intent.

01:49:11.060 But a lot of good Americans from my district came here because they are sick and tired of

01:49:17.500 this government not serving them.

01:49:19.500 They came with strollers and the kids and there was chaotic situation because the proper security

01:49:24.920 wasn't provided.

01:49:26.080 That's a question that was answered really why.

01:49:28.720 Why we debated for 55 minutes on the floor and didn't stop the debate after the people

01:49:34.240 broke into the Capitol.

01:49:35.640 But these people came.

01:49:37.200 They were throwing the smoke bombs into the crowd with strollers with kids.

01:49:43.080 People showed up, you know, FBI agents to people's houses.

01:49:48.000 You had in my district, in my town, FBI phone numbers all over the district.

01:49:54.080 Please call.

01:49:55.080 Call that.

01:49:56.080 People are truly afraid.

01:49:57.580 Like, I just want to make sure if you're not aware that you are, and this is a big

01:50:02.060 problem when people are afraid of their own government.

01:50:06.460 He went on to give a non-answer answer and don't think it moved him very much, but it

01:50:13.220 certainly moved me and Congresswoman Sparts is with us now.

01:50:19.660 Hi, Victoria.

01:50:21.260 Hi.

01:50:21.680 Thank you for having me.

01:50:22.600 I have to tell you, thank you.

01:50:26.420 There are Americans, and then there are the Americans that really understand what we're

01:50:32.180 up against, and they're usually the ones that have come from a communist country, a communist

01:50:37.960 China, Vietnam, or anywhere in the former Soviet Union.

01:50:44.580 You know what's happening.

01:50:45.880 And for him not to respond to you, I, you know, George Washington said, you know, when

01:50:54.120 the government fears the people, there's liberty.

01:51:00.740 When the people fear the government, there's tyranny, and we're there.

01:51:05.400 Well, I'll be honest with you, Glenn, you know, maybe I came with idealistic ideas because

01:51:12.480 I read about the America from Alexis de Tocqueville and Friedman and Hayek and grown up when, you

01:51:19.940 know, in a failed system and known what it's take.

01:51:23.960 I probably was a little bit young and naive, but I'm not going to accept one thing.

01:51:28.580 I'm not going to accept for this republic to fail because if we become a dictatorship and

01:51:35.480 we are moving in that direction, there is no hope for anyone else in the world.

01:51:40.500 And I will tell you something.

01:51:42.200 That is very dangerous.

01:51:43.800 We can have a difference in opinion, and it's okay.

01:51:46.200 It's healthy to have a difference in opinion.

01:51:48.800 But when people are afraid to express their opinion, that is called dictatorship.

01:51:54.500 That was exactly under totalitarian dictatorship of communists in the Soviet Union where people

01:52:00.700 were afraid to express an opinion.

01:52:03.960 Now, we don't have a right to hurt each other, but we have a right to stand on opinion.

01:52:09.660 We don't have a right to harm each other, but we do have a right to disagree with the government.

01:52:15.820 That is the core fundamentals of this republic.

01:52:19.500 If people are not willing to come, listen, I don't like that people come and scream in town

01:52:23.840 holes.

01:52:24.100 I don't like that people disagree with me.

01:52:25.920 But if I'm going to go to this office, I have to hear the people.

01:52:29.900 And where we are right now as a country, the frustrations of the people are real.

01:52:36.820 The GIF government is not serving the people.

01:52:39.420 We have a big machine that's serving big money, and people are sick and tired, and we are bankrupting

01:52:46.040 our future generation.

01:52:47.920 And a lot of people died for our freedoms.

01:52:50.680 I am not willing to accept it.

01:52:52.340 I know it's hard.

01:52:54.260 I know these battles, you know, not easy, but we have to win them.

01:52:58.800 We'll lose this war.

01:53:00.740 And, you know, I'm telling you, sometimes maybe, you know, being young and idealistic,

01:53:07.060 you know, it's bad.

01:53:08.320 But sometimes, you know, coming here, it's like you put a frog in the hot water.

01:53:12.540 You know, I came here, and I believe in all of the value of Americans, and I truly believe

01:53:17.600 we are not going to destroy our republic.

01:53:20.120 This is the greatest country ever existed in the history of the world.

01:53:24.500 And we as Americans are going to get together to save it.

01:53:28.820 No, but what the Department of Justice is doing is disgrace.

01:53:31.580 We need more people like you in the House and the Senate, and you're not going to run for

01:53:39.440 re-election to the House, and there were hopes that you would run in Indiana for Senate, but

01:53:44.040 you're not going to do either of those things.

01:53:45.720 You're just, you're getting out of politics.

01:53:47.600 Well, I need to regroup, reinvigorate, and really spend more time to get more Americans,

01:53:54.280 because this government, don't underestimate still the power of Americans.

01:53:58.460 Listen, with all of the bad things, I probably wouldn't be where I am, you know, if it would

01:54:04.080 be for the American people.

01:54:05.420 I fought my own party more than the other party.

01:54:08.240 I didn't even have time for them.

01:54:09.460 So I was here only because good, hardworking Americans stood with me and fought against

01:54:17.640 my own party with me, Americans that care about that.

01:54:21.120 And we need to get more Americans to understand what is at stake and talk to them.

01:54:25.900 So we have to have more allies.

01:54:27.840 I need to regroup to figure out, you know, I honestly disappointed where my party is and

01:54:33.100 lack of leadership, because unfortunately, the other side is so far gone.

01:54:37.940 If we don't fight and win, not just be talking head on TV or writing books and go do grandiose

01:54:44.840 statement, but actually deliver.

01:54:47.620 And this is a real war.

01:54:49.560 And we need to come off to the other side, but it takes leadership.

01:54:52.500 And I'm responsible for my party, my leadership.

01:54:55.420 You know, so I need to figure out how I can regroup and get, you know, some energy back,

01:55:00.240 because I've been for decades fought my own party and another one, too.

01:55:04.180 I had some very tough battles.

01:55:05.520 Also, I am battle tested, but I think this battle needs to be won with American people

01:55:10.040 and don't underestimate the power.

01:55:11.780 I truly believe these people are afraid of American people.

01:55:15.420 They're afraid of American people.

01:55:17.580 And right now they're trying to oppress it.

01:55:20.000 But I think American people are very strong and they're not going to allow Washington, D.C.

01:55:25.420 corruption to take over and destroy the country.

01:55:27.820 So I've appreciated people like you are.

01:55:30.660 You know, listen, I listened for you for a long time.

01:55:32.820 You've been in the trenches.

01:55:34.700 And I don't accept, you know, what they do.

01:55:37.320 And they try to really demonize every American.

01:55:40.580 So people are afraid now to come and say to D.C., oh, my gosh, we'll have to have a peaceful

01:55:45.160 demonstration.

01:55:46.120 Oh, no, they'll say we're insurrectionists.

01:55:48.020 We are awful people.

01:55:49.560 Well, this is terrible.

01:55:51.180 This is like dictatorship.

01:55:52.520 I cannot believe it happened in the United States of America.

01:55:55.060 Well, I just wanted to encourage you, because I read in I think this was not a Politico.

01:56:00.900 This was from the Hill, I think.

01:56:02.540 And it said that you never planned on having a long career in politics.

01:56:06.980 I have a lot of my own things I wanted to do in my life, and I'm going to get some stuff

01:56:11.140 done and get the hell out of politics for sure.

01:56:13.480 I appreciate that.

01:56:14.580 But that's something I say to myself almost every day.

01:56:17.220 There's so many things I want to do.

01:56:19.280 I mean, how much how much longer?

01:56:20.760 And I we just have to continue to do it if if that you feel that is the best way to

01:56:26.560 help.

01:56:26.860 So I would like you just to consider a plea from me that if there's any way to run for

01:56:33.280 Senate, if you think you could win, we need that.

01:56:36.620 I mean, you're right.

01:56:37.880 The party is completely off track.

01:56:41.160 Let me let me switch gears with you on Zelensky.

01:56:49.680 What is what is happening in the House?

01:56:52.900 Is this real that we're not going to give the aid any more aid until we start getting

01:56:58.480 some answers?

01:56:59.480 Are we going to hold the line on the budget?

01:57:02.960 Do you have any idea?

01:57:04.960 Well, let me tell you something.

01:57:06.080 It's so unfortunate, you know, that, you know, when I last year, I was a standalone

01:57:12.220 and, you know, listen, I sometimes feel like, oh, you know, like we know one woman standing.

01:57:18.220 OK, but it's OK.

01:57:19.400 Even if I have to be one woman standing, I will stand there.

01:57:22.400 I'm OK with that.

01:57:23.660 If I'm going to be attacked, I was attacked last summer by Republicans and Democrats.

01:57:28.260 I was dragged through mud on all media when I said we must demand accountability.

01:57:33.920 You understand what country we're dealing.

01:57:36.460 We need to make sure this hard earned money.

01:57:39.140 Americans are generous people.

01:57:41.020 Americans won a lot of wars and freed a lot of people around the world.

01:57:45.600 But Americans are not stupid and Americans are not going to be betrayed.

01:57:50.680 And we need to know.

01:57:51.900 We need to make sure where this aid goes.

01:57:54.320 We're dealing with very complicated, corrupt countries.

01:57:57.960 And we need to make sure that we have accountability.

01:58:00.720 Or it actually might get in the people that you're trying to fight.

01:58:04.780 Because this is a challenge when you have.

01:58:06.660 We saw what's happened in Afghanistan.

01:58:08.400 We saw what's happened with a lot of countries.

01:58:10.100 We failed because we did not have proper accountability.

01:58:14.160 And Congress didn't hold executive branch of Kramendale.

01:58:17.460 I cannot believe Congresswoman asking accountability for taxpayers' money.

01:58:23.160 This is being pro-Putin.

01:58:24.740 I think not asking is pro-Putin.

01:58:28.120 You know, and I was very disappointed how I was attacked.

01:58:30.980 But it's okay.

01:58:31.640 Listen, I, you know, if I would have been offended really easily, I wouldn't survive this world.

01:58:36.820 I don't get offended that easily.

01:58:38.900 And I held the ground on that.

01:58:40.320 We did a little bit better.

01:58:41.360 But we didn't do a good job.

01:58:42.960 And now, a lot of Americans are asking questions.

01:58:46.220 And I said, if President Biden needs to make the case why it is a national interest of Americans, you know, to help Ukraine to win that war and show what is happening.

01:58:57.100 He has not communicated for Congress.

01:58:59.300 There is frustration from both sides forever.

01:59:01.660 He doesn't even come to Congress.

01:59:03.640 You are not going to go to all of these international.

01:59:06.340 They talk about Congress.

01:59:07.260 I'll tell you one thing.

01:59:08.720 If Americans don't leave, everything is gone.

01:59:11.800 We're the only country, I hate to say, the only country who can lead around the world.

01:59:16.060 If we're not doing something, everyone's going, you can do grandiose statements.

01:59:19.660 But if we don't do any actions, nothing is going to happen.

01:59:23.260 Unfortunately, we don't have strong leadership, you know, and that's why we have all this war.

01:59:28.040 Strong America is actually peace for everyone.

01:59:31.100 That's why we have to keep our country strong and get our act together.

01:59:35.300 You know, otherwise our adversaries included like China will be destabilizing the country.

01:59:40.220 And that is our responsibility of Republicans.

01:59:43.120 So I think he put himself now in a very tough situation where a lot of Americans are asking right questions.

01:59:50.160 And he needs to figure out now with the Senate how he's going to answer them.

01:59:54.480 Victoria Sparts from Indiana.

01:59:58.240 Congresswoman, we need more people like you.

02:00:02.100 Thank you so much for everything.

02:00:04.380 Hope to talk to you again.

02:00:05.900 Thank you.

02:00:06.300 I appreciate having me.

02:00:07.260 You bet.

02:00:07.600 I have a friend who sounds exactly like that.

02:00:14.000 The husband is a little softer spoken and she'll just go.

02:00:18.660 I want Ukrainian women and Eastern Bloc women to get to Washington because nothing stops them.

02:00:29.340 Nothing stops them.

02:00:31.220 Back in just a minute.

02:00:32.540 It's in that moment, your kid's first football game of the year, the one where you can relax and lose your voice yelling at the same time.

02:00:41.700 It's in that meal sitting around the table, the one that somehow tastes better because the heavy weight of difficult choices isn't breathing down your neck the whole time.

02:00:49.820 It's in all the things you can do with peace of mind because you're not worrying about the house you're buying or selling.

02:00:56.360 Why aren't you worrying?

02:00:57.820 Because you went with real estate agents I trust and you got set up with a top selling agent from your area, one with principles and values and the best business practices.

02:01:07.160 This is my company and I started it years ago.

02:01:10.160 I found the whole buying and selling houses thing so frustrating.

02:01:15.180 I didn't know how my brother who started it with me.

02:01:18.120 He didn't know how.

02:01:19.760 And we started working with the 500 best real estate agents, according to the Wall Street Journal from all around the country.

02:01:24.960 And we learned quickly there are best practices, there are things.

02:01:28.940 And it starts with being a decent human being that is not just trying to make money, but actually loves people, loves listening to people and loves to get them the best deal possible.

02:01:41.260 Real estate agents I trust dot com.

02:01:43.860 Go there now.

02:01:44.520 We'll recommend the best agent in our opinion that we can find for you.

02:01:48.980 We've already vetted all these people.

02:01:51.260 If we don't have one in your area, we'll tell you.

02:01:53.620 Just send us a note.

02:01:54.640 Real estate agents I trust dot com.

02:01:59.000 Join the conversation.

02:02:00.940 888-727-BECK.

02:02:03.580 The Glenn Beck Program.

02:02:04.700 All righty then.

02:02:24.440 All righty then.

02:02:25.240 By the way, in case you haven't heard breaking news today, Rupert Murdoch has stepped down as chairman of the board or whatever the hell he was at Fox News Corp.

02:02:37.160 Where his son is going to take over and his son just absolutely loves conservative politics.

02:02:46.100 Loves it.

02:02:47.220 Huge fan.

02:02:48.760 Huge fan.

02:02:50.020 It's a very boring series finale of Succession.

02:02:52.580 It really is.

02:02:53.360 It's like, eh, okay.

02:02:54.480 So his son just got it, huh?

02:02:55.620 Mm-hmm.

02:02:55.940 Okay.

02:02:56.400 There you go.

02:02:57.040 Who would have seen that coming?

02:02:57.860 Yeah.

02:02:58.160 Everyone kind of knew it was going to be Lachlan and now it is.

02:03:00.880 Yeah.

02:03:01.140 He's been kind of running it for a while though, right?

02:03:03.620 Yeah.

02:03:04.000 Since people started noticing changes.

02:03:06.340 Yeah.

02:03:06.920 Yeah.

02:03:07.100 That's about the same time.

02:03:09.680 About the same time.

02:03:10.340 It is interesting that like, I think Fox obviously has good people that we still like that are there, but they've done a lot to, I think, anger their base.

02:03:21.580 And some people have left, but there's still a lot of people who just by habit kind of have the thing on all the time.

02:03:28.320 Do you know what the rating was for CNN over the weekend?

02:03:33.500 No, it was really bad, wasn't it?

02:03:35.080 There were 55,000 in the demo.

02:03:39.580 Oh my God.

02:03:40.760 That means only 55,000 people were watching that at any given time all weekend long.

02:03:50.200 Between the ages of 25 and 54, which is what they care about.

02:03:53.660 55,000?

02:03:54.940 Those numbers, just to put it in perspective, are way lower than the numbers you were putting up at CNN Headline News in 2006.

02:04:04.320 Yeah, 2006, we'd have like 130 or 150 and we felt like total losers.

02:04:10.700 Yeah.

02:04:10.860 We're like, why even, just disconnect the stuff, unplug the cameras, there's no reason to do it.

02:04:17.840 Now, 55,000 for CNN.

02:04:20.500 Nothing.

02:04:22.600 Nothing.

02:04:23.440 It's incredible.

02:04:24.060 It's a ghost town.

02:04:25.140 It really is.

02:04:26.080 And they've done a lot to make it so.

02:04:28.960 And it kind of makes me happy.

02:04:31.660 Yeah.

02:04:31.920 No, it doesn't kind of.

02:04:32.980 It really makes me happy.

02:04:34.020 Look, I think America could use a rational news source that covered the news in a fair way that wasn't partisan.

02:04:41.060 But that's just not what CNN is even attempting to do.

02:04:43.060 I mean, they're doing it a little bit better now than a couple of years ago, but it's still a catastrophe.

02:04:47.100 But nobody's really shooting for that.

02:04:49.480 Nobody is.
