Let me talk to you a little bit about American Giant between now and the time that you vote in November, which is what, six weeks from now?
00:00:06.440
You can also vote with your wallet, and that is very important.
00:00:09.640
When you purchase products made in America by American Giant, you're casting a vote for American manufacturing, for American workers, for American quality.
00:00:18.040
We have to make more things here, and expecting the Chinese government to play fair is just silly.
00:00:23.540
They've shown us who they are, but it's time I think we believe them.
00:00:28.760
We buy American, American clothing, now from American Giant.
00:00:37.260
You're sending a message that American manufacturing actually matters, and it connects us.
00:00:42.300
The factories remain open. The local diner remains open.
00:00:45.580
The schools thrive. Everybody thrives when we are building things back here in America.
00:00:51.780
When you need to get back to the independent spirit of American manufacturing, American Giant has already done it.
00:00:56.940
They're making American clothing 100% American, the best hoodie you'll ever own, and so much more, all made with a quality that lasts.
00:01:05.300
It's time to show China that they have woken an American giant.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:43:39.700
Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:43:49.220
One, what the intel community came out with yesterday and said that Iran hacked into the Trump campaign,
00:43:58.120
got documents, and then shared them with the Harris-Biden team.
00:44:03.560
The intel, if that's what the intel community is telling the American people, how bad is it really?
00:44:15.500
I mean, is like Kamala, I mean, is she a secret mullah?
00:44:19.280
I mean, if they come out with that, what's really going on?
00:44:27.160
The Fed, in its last meeting before this year's election, decided to cut interest rates.
00:44:37.280
And it was kind of an out-of-the-blue thing to do.
00:44:40.400
I mean, people were saying, well, maybe they'll cut a quarter point.
00:44:47.960
When you cut half a point, the times that they did that was 2008.
00:45:04.540
They've never cut rates by 50 basis point unless you're in real trouble.
00:45:13.160
Are we just so healthy that you're going to cut rates like you've never had before except at extreme points of distress?
00:45:22.620
I know I put some of my money in gold and it's worked out pretty well.
00:45:29.040
Gold is going to keep going up as the dollar keeps going down.
00:45:33.300
And God only knows what they're actually doing.
00:45:36.240
But somebody has to have something that remains that is of value.
00:45:40.940
And the world always returns to gold and silver.
00:45:44.200
Please, I want you to call Lear Capital right now.
00:45:47.000
They have a 24-hour risk-free purchase guarantee.
00:45:50.020
Lear is the precious metals leader that I want you to call.
00:45:52.860
Their free wealth protection guide is available.
00:45:55.380
And Lear will also credit your account $250 towards your purchase because you're a listener of mine.
00:46:10.080
I want to bring Jason Buttrill in who was part of the intelligence community for a while, which is weird because he has very, very little intelligence.
00:46:21.780
So you were with Marines and you did a military intelligence during the Afghanistan portion of the war.
00:46:32.480
When the intel community comes out and says that Iran hacked Donald Trump, got secret information, and then passed it to the White House and the Harris-Biden campaign, what do you think actually happened?
00:46:52.360
The wording is very interesting because that's not how the intelligence community talks anymore.
00:46:58.260
So after Iraq, once they were saying words like, oh, yeah, Saddam Hussein definitely has weapons of mass destruction.
00:47:09.900
They were like, you know, after we didn't find any, they were like, ooh, okay, well, let's stop saying this happened or this totally happened or it's absolutely.
00:47:28.540
That's the only thing the press isn't doing right now.
00:47:31.200
It's just when there's facts coming out, they just don't go.
00:47:44.100
They went to words like, we have a low probability, or we have moderate probability, or high probability.
00:47:54.660
So if this, in my opinion, was very, very, like, we really want the, you know, this absolutely happened,
00:48:02.300
and we really want the American public to know this without any of their ulterior motives.
00:48:06.200
They would say, we have a high probability that something like this happened.
00:48:09.840
But that's not exactly the words that they used.
00:48:18.500
Did this not come from the intelligence community?
00:48:23.820
Why would they come out and say, the intelligence community, who I think is, you know, partially,
00:48:30.740
some would say, in a fictional world, I don't say this.
00:48:37.780
Some would say maybe the intelligence community was, you know, sharpening their skills after Kennedy.
00:48:43.620
And they're like, you know what, let's try this again, see if we can get away with it again.
00:48:51.600
And I think that's the, you know, the entire country feels this way, especially in our military industrial complex,
00:48:58.100
but also our intelligence services and federal law enforcement.
00:49:02.360
Not the guys on the ground, but the leadership up at the top.
00:49:04.780
And I think that they all, and this is my biggest worry, Glenn, if there should be a Kamala Harris victory in about, what, a month and a half,
00:49:17.400
And they are looking for every possible excuse they can find, wherever it may be on the globe,
00:49:31.380
Well, I think that was on a chalkboard about five years ago.
00:49:37.380
He said that after the implosion of trust, a new Axis of powers would realign.
00:49:46.680
That dude probably said there was going to be a financial crisis in the Caliphate.
00:49:54.280
Anyway, so before we get into war, I don't understand your point on the Iran thing.
00:50:01.960
Do you think that they were just making that up?
00:50:05.060
I think that, let's say there could be actors from within the Middle East or within Iran, anything at all that could give them an excuse.
00:50:13.280
Everything I see them right now that is very, very antagonistic with a lot of our adversaries all over the world.
00:50:21.920
I mean, we wouldn't be surprised if it was pillow talk.
00:50:25.060
That's what's so crazy, too, is that was their love affair back during the Obama administration.
00:50:29.820
And even the beginning of the Biden administration.
00:50:31.620
But now, as they're supplying weapons to Russia and exchanging missile technology and all these other things, including troves of drones over to the Russians, things are starting to change a bit.
00:50:47.860
So it's the craziest thing to watch how the sides are appearing right now.
00:50:53.400
And there's a huge line in the globe that's been drawn.
00:50:59.080
And if you're not totally for rushing for any excuse to go to war, then you're in bed with them.
00:51:05.760
Is there a place that I could go where I'm on nobody's side?
00:51:13.340
I mean, well, we should have had visas here for Texas.
00:51:15.880
But, yeah, I mean, because I'm not on I am not on, you know, Russia's side.
00:51:37.180
Those were suicide drones that were launched from Ukraine inside Russia.
00:51:41.380
So it was a long range is considered a long range attack that hit a weapons depot within Russia.
00:51:53.260
And in fact, and beware of false information on that, because there was a lot of accounts that were saying NATO launched a nuclear.
00:52:01.620
It was just the size and scope of that of that blast because of all the munitions.
00:52:06.840
Now, imagine that's a debate going on right now within NATO and the Biden administration.
00:52:15.560
I mean, since the wall came down, we made the promise we wouldn't put long range missile.
00:52:24.520
That's like putting Soviet or Russian missiles on the border of Mexico and America.
00:52:38.800
And he's telling us just like he did with NATO.
00:52:43.180
Guys, just promise me you won't you won't make Ukraine a NATO country.
00:52:51.600
Now he's saying don't put weapons that's pot that will be an act of war and we will now fight against NATO.
00:53:05.920
And the crazy thing is that the people that used to advocate against this kind of aggression are now the ones in power.
00:53:15.840
And there's a lot of scary things if Kamala would win in November.
00:53:19.200
I had to tell you economy, everything, everything.
00:53:21.200
But this right now, the way they're moving us on this path, we're not going to get off that path at all.
00:53:35.500
That was their main concern, they said, back in 2016.
00:53:48.140
Right now in Ukraine, there was a geopolitics person.
00:53:51.560
One of the fathers, his name was Halford Mackinder.
00:53:53.720
And he talked about this theory called the World Island Theory.
00:53:56.920
Our containment theory was kind of based on stopping someone pursuing the World Island.
00:54:01.580
But basically, it's that area of like Western Russia, Ukraine, and like Eastern Germany.
00:54:08.660
They said whoever controls that area will be the dominant superpower in the world.
00:54:16.200
So our strategy has always been to stop any other power from controlling that area.
00:54:20.480
Well, right now, it feels like the Biden administration, NATO, and all Western leaders have said, screw that.
00:54:32.180
And we are willing to go to war with anyone else that stops us.
00:54:38.400
Have you seen the resources that are in Ukraine?
00:54:44.440
Because if you do, you're like, everything that they want to do with the Green Agenda, all the natural resources they need.
00:54:57.540
Or maybe the biggest ore reserves in the world.
00:55:01.700
I believe BlackRock is now the largest farm owner in Ukraine.
00:55:06.560
They've just come in and just, and remember, that is the breadbasket of Europe.
00:55:11.740
And they're now, BlackRock now owns most of the farmland over there.
00:55:17.700
This is really, I mean, boy, when this is all exposed and, you know, you have actual journalists doing work, this is just going to, I mean, this is why they can't allow Donald Trump in.
00:55:37.800
The other thing is, it will be, it will all be exposed.
00:55:41.840
And when it's all exposed, I mean, all of these people will go to jail or will be absolute pariahs in our society because of the damage that they've already brought.
00:55:52.160
I mean, we are just beginning to see the damage.
00:55:56.220
Most of the programs and everything else that Biden-Harris passed and got done, they start next year.
00:56:06.220
So you haven't really even felt the effects of their, of this monstrosity that they're building.
00:56:13.300
How likely do you think it is we're going to war?
00:56:17.500
Have you seen any rhetoric that says they're willing to back down?
00:56:24.740
Russia just upped their troop count to the number two largest active duty standing in the world.
00:56:33.800
I think the only thing that would make them back down is if they ended, if there was some kind of coup against Putin or if he leaves office and some other crazy madmen didn't come in.
00:56:42.580
And, but the only thing I say, there's really no good people behind Putin.
00:56:46.380
But if he left, it would give the next leader in Russia the opportunity to say, hey, that was that guy.
00:57:00.360
Did you guys hear yesterday that on MSNBC, in fact, do we have this sound?
00:57:17.820
Not only is she positive, does she bring hope and optimism, but as a black woman, the product of a mixed marriage, she will inspire millions of people throughout the world.
00:57:29.900
Our credibility as a nation, you know, that we would be able to allow.
00:57:33.640
Our country is so great that we're allowed a woman like that to become the commander in chief, the president of the United States.
00:57:39.460
That is going to send a powerful message all over the world.
00:57:43.640
People like Vladimir Putin are going to say, hey, wait a minute.
00:57:46.620
These guys, you know, they truly have democratic country.
00:58:02.500
So there's some Russian speaking very, you know, sinister Russian.
00:58:06.120
And they're like, well, we will drop the nuclear weapons.
00:58:17.400
Putin would be afraid of a very strong, powerful, mixed race woman.
00:58:27.240
The guy has been in the wet works business for a long time.
00:58:31.640
I don't think he's going to go, you know, I think they've got something going on here.
00:58:51.080
I don't know what questions you might have on your mind.
00:58:53.280
But I want you to know that I came from a middle class background.
00:58:57.660
And people in my neighborhood were always very proud of their lawns.
00:59:01.060
You know, they were especially proud of the part of their lawns.
00:59:03.400
They got stuck in their gutters all the time, namely the leaves that fell out of their trees.
00:59:06.900
But I think as, you know, somebody who can relate to middle class people, you should just do whatever I say.
00:59:14.920
So I'm saying you should never think about your gutters again.
00:59:19.240
You should get the leaf filter from leaf home gutters.
00:59:32.060
I hated doctors, school teachers, like professors, like Marxist professors.
00:59:36.580
Anyway, if you get leaf filter from leaf home gutters, you will protect your home from flooding, roof damage, rotting, siding, foundation issues, all of that.

Can we just go through the news on just a few things and just get your comments on it, you and Stu, you and Jason?
01:00:32.240
And for the first time, I think since the 90s, since I think George H.W. Bush, they decided not to endorse a candidate.
01:00:43.660
And the reason why they're not endorsing a candidate this time, last time was 1988, is because the union members rejected the Democratic ticket.
01:00:55.420
And Teamsters were like, I've heard about members of the Teamsters.
01:01:02.900
The mobsters up at the top were afraid of the Teamsters.
01:01:10.980
You couldn't tell which side did they really support.
01:01:25.700
And six and three are the beginnings of those numbers are right near each other.
01:01:32.540
You know, how cowardice, this is the first time ever the word cowardice and the Teamsters were in the same sentence.
01:01:40.600
But what cowards the Teamster union bosses, the leadership were to say, we're not going to make an endorsement, but here's a poll of what our people say.
01:01:54.680
60% of the Teamster members are all like, you know, we've got to go with Donald Trump.
01:01:59.620
It's cowardly by the leadership, but how brave by the members.
01:02:03.960
It is really brave to stand up and say, you know what?
01:02:06.400
This direction we've gone for all these years is wrong.
01:02:10.060
And the other candidates, the right one, we're not going to stick by and vote for the people that everyone tells us to vote for.
01:02:21.380
Do they know they're messing with the Teamsters?
01:02:29.620
Jerome Powell yesterday blamed the influx of illegal immigrants for rising unemployment rate.
01:02:42.500
Or do you see risk that further labor market cooling will have to come through job losses?
01:02:46.480
So on the job creation, it depends on the inflows, right?
01:02:53.020
So if you're having millions of people come into the labor force then and you're creating 100,000 jobs, you're going to see unemployment go up.
01:03:00.300
So it really depends on what's the trend underlying the volatility of people coming into the country.
01:03:06.540
We understand there's been quite an influx across the borders, and that has actually been one of the things that's allowed unemployment rate to rise.
01:03:16.240
And the other thing is just the slower hiring rate, which is something we also watch carefully.
01:03:21.100
So it does depend on what's happening on the supply side.
01:03:28.720
We're importing a lot of people who are taking jobs from Americans.
01:03:39.260
Companies are hiring them and firing Americans.
01:03:43.460
And by the way, they also go home to a nice hotel room or a paid-for apartment or maybe even a condominium.
01:03:55.860
And they might be able to even vote, but you, can you just pay your taxes, please?
01:04:02.200
It's unpatriotic to not pay your taxes because we have so many people that are really in need that we need to take care of in these hotels.
01:04:11.100
I mean, this has turned into an absolute clown show.
01:04:15.800
How people believe any of this stuff is true and healthy for our society, it's crazy.
01:04:31.940
You probably love your dog more than, I was going to say family members, but certain family members, right?
01:04:39.460
I mean, you know, one of the drawbacks on having a dog is they crap out in the yard.
01:04:43.380
But I have family members who I think would actually do that themselves.
01:04:49.400
If your dog is eating dry kibble food, you need to understand that it's dead food.
01:04:53.360
It's not really doing anything but filling his belly and keeping him alive.
01:04:59.940
It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black.
01:05:03.140
And you sprinkle it on the dog food, and it contains everything your dog needs for a happier and healthier life.
01:05:14.700
The folks at Rough Greens are so confident your dog is going to love Rough Greens that they have a special deal for you.

Hamas and Hezbollah named Benjamin Netanyahu a global terrorist.
01:06:17.960
I mean, it's weird to, you know, award him their highest award in Hamas and Hezbollah.
01:06:35.220
And the biggest terrorist in the world goes to Benjamin Netanyahu.
01:06:48.800
Strange to have a Jew, you know, at that award show.
01:06:52.120
But I think accepting on behalf of Benjamin Netanyahu is this beeper.
01:07:04.260
We're joined on the program by Jason Buttrell, who is my chief researcher and also former military intelligence.
01:07:18.940
Anyway, the thing with the Mossad, that mission just with the beepers.
01:07:26.960
And then, what was it, walkie-talkies yesterday?
01:07:32.900
I wouldn't use a toaster if I worked for Hezbollah.
01:07:38.140
It's the greatest intelligence operation in history.
01:07:49.900
You remember, I don't know if you read this yesterday, but I think it was in maybe July or June or July,
01:07:55.760
Reuters came out with this article talking about the ingenuity of Hezbollah
01:07:59.960
and how because the Israeli intelligence were snooping in on some of their commander's cell phones,
01:08:11.560
Things like beepers and some other low-tech stuff.
01:08:13.980
I just thought they all thought that they were like doctors from the 1990s.
01:08:23.660
When I first heard that, I thought, who's still using beepers?
01:08:30.020
Well, just think about what was involved in this operation.
01:08:33.980
So Israel obviously knew they wanted to make a change because they were snooping around on their phones.
01:08:38.840
So they had to have contacted a producer, some supplier of beepers.
01:08:46.680
I talked to a former spokesperson yesterday of the IDF.
01:08:50.960
He said, well, thanks for listening to the show.
01:08:53.280
He said that they knew, because they had inside sources at this company, that Hezbollah had put in a gigantic order.
01:09:05.340
So they diverted that shipment without the company or Hezbollah knowing.
01:09:11.060
They just diverted it, changed all the beepers on the inside, put it back onto the plane.
01:09:20.540
So, yeah, that's kind of what I was getting at.
01:09:22.220
That right there, that's a whole portion of the operation that's just insane.
01:09:28.880
I don't think that this was just malware that overloaded batteries because some of the explosions were pretty large.
01:09:35.100
So they must have put in some kind of accelerant or explosive into the beepers along with the malware.
01:09:41.540
And then they went off to every single Hezbollah operative that they wanted to have these beepers.
01:09:45.920
Not only did they take out multiple different, you know, operatives, but they were also able to provide mapping information to where every single one of these operatives shop, where they live, where they report in for work.
01:10:01.940
And there are, I mean, it's hard to know exactly what happened here.
01:10:07.620
But one of the stories I read yesterday, I think it was in the Wall Street Journal, but it was one of the ones I read yesterday said that they set up this distributor.
01:10:15.160
It was a shell company owned by, like, Israeli intelligence that was operating for months before they even switched to the pagers.
01:10:26.520
And they were actually shipping working normal pagers to other companies around the world to be normal.
01:10:34.200
And then they waited for the order to come in from Hezbollah and set them all up this way with exploding pagers.
01:10:39.920
What kind of distributor, like, he also sells Swatch watches, machines, beta VHS players, stuff like that.
01:10:49.300
I got to say, too, if you've got one of these beepers in the Netherlands or something from this company and it's working fine, I think I'm throwing it out.
01:10:57.000
Like, just in case somebody messed up the order, I'm a little concerned.
01:11:02.660
Why are you coming in with your BlackBerry when nobody has a BlackBerry anymore?
01:11:12.440
You know, the Kamala Harris campaign said, hand them to all your friends who support Trump.
01:11:25.540
I think there was some reporting they might have found some Hezbollah people might have found out that this was going to happen.
01:11:33.240
This is something that we're probably, I would assume, waiting for.
01:11:36.220
If Hezbollah decides to do another Hezbollah Israel war, they would launch this to provide confusion while they were doing the invasion or something.
01:11:44.340
So it's a little bit unfortunate that that happened.
01:11:46.660
But still, absolutely amazing what they were able to pull off.
01:11:49.680
So Donald Trump now is, quote, according to the press, threatening to go to Ohio and Springfield.
01:12:05.380
And if you're eating dogs and cats when I get there, they'll be hell to pay.
01:12:10.160
But the press is just going crazy that he would dare go there.
01:12:15.540
I have to tell you, I mean, what you're seeing in some of these cities, what you're seeing in Colorado.
01:12:20.920
Notice nobody's talking about Colorado anymore.
01:12:23.120
What you're seeing in Colorado, this was a setup.
01:12:30.620
They had all of the money put there so they could give it to NGOs to pay for all the hotels.
01:12:37.080
Can you imagine how much money is being siphoned off?
01:12:39.760
How much of your money is just going to really bad things or graft?
01:12:45.020
Oh, I mean, there's at least – there's over a quarter of a billion dollars that's just going to provide medical care for detained illegals.
01:12:58.720
So you understand that's more than we gave Ukraine.
01:13:04.180
I gave Ukraine a lot more than a quarter of a billion dollars.
01:13:07.900
We were about – I thought we were like $175 billion.
01:13:35.840
I look at you like, are you making some intricate point I'm not getting here?
01:13:51.640
And, I mean, I want to talk to you about this again because we're just not going to have time.
01:13:55.100
But the veterans of our country that are homeless today, and we just couldn't find any money to take care of our homeless veterans.
01:14:09.080
We just couldn't find any way to make their medical care just a little bit better.
01:14:15.120
And yet, we're taking people that are not even from this country, and not here because, you know, they believe in the American way.
01:14:25.500
Shoplifting and vehicle theft soared as Haitian migrants poured into Springfield, Ohio.
01:14:33.680
Why is your insurance rate of your car going through the roof?
01:14:39.240
Because we have all kinds of people who don't know how to drive that are driving the rates of insurance up.
01:14:53.280
And if we're spending this much money, why aren't we spending it on Americans?
01:14:57.780
Why aren't we spending it on heroes, our veterans?
01:15:04.320
This really hit home to me when we found out about what California and places like Oregon are doing for homes.
01:15:11.020
All but basically giving them free homes, illegals.
01:15:14.820
I mean, and I was like, I was looking back at, actually, let me just take you back to around September, August, September, early September of 2001.
01:15:25.620
I didn't know I was about to be going to Afghanistan, but we were about to.
01:15:34.320
And I was looking for, when I got back, one, can I afford a home?
01:15:39.580
Two, can I get on better insurance because the VA insurance sucks?
01:15:46.900
Because it was hard, and you're basically a second-class citizen in California for a veteran.
01:15:51.840
Maybe it's different in Northern California, but not in Southern California.
01:15:54.280
These are all these worries, and I don't know, Glenn, if you know this, but you probably know this, but the majority of the country probably doesn't.
01:16:01.140
But on Sunday, September 22nd, is the National Veteran Suicide Awareness Day.
01:16:10.300
We see protests all the time for illegals and all this different action, bills going through, people fighting in the streets.
01:16:19.200
No, hardly anyone knows that, because these are real stresses that veterans have.
01:16:24.780
And every single veteran right now that I talk to every single week is like, we have a VA loan.
01:16:32.640
But now if you're illegal, you can come right in and go to California and just get a free house.
01:16:38.400
How is there around $300 million that's getting siphoned off to illegals that are detained to get medical treatment, and we can go to the VA and get on a wait list for about a month, possibly maybe get help, maybe get help?
01:16:55.100
How can I just Google right now, I want to go to school, a university, but I'm illegal.
01:17:00.200
Look through all the different scholarship programs and assistance in whatever state and whatever school.
01:17:07.560
These are things that we look for as veterans that like, this is, okay, I lost friends.
01:17:13.800
I went through this, fought for my country, but at least I have that to fall back on.
01:17:20.700
Why are we still protesting and acting like we owe these people something that is equivalent to something that a service member died or bled for?
01:17:33.240
You're getting better care as a legal than we give our veterans, and it's an abomination.
01:17:45.120
There was that factory owner in, was it Springfield?
01:17:47.900
I think it was in Springfield, Ohio, where he was like, hey, I wish I had 30 more of these Haitians.
01:17:56.380
They don't have drug problems, assuming that the rest of us, the other citizens do have drug problems.
01:18:03.560
He wants to fill his factory up with more of these guys.
01:18:06.940
When right now, from ages 25 to 55 men, there's 7 million Americans that do not have work, cannot find work.
01:18:16.520
But since 2019, there have been, I think it's 75% of the increase to the workforce has all been through immigration.
01:18:24.420
Kind of exactly what Jerome Powell was talking about.
01:18:30.420
You're making all these accommodations for a whole bunch of people.
01:18:34.880
What are you going to do when they've got to leave?
01:18:40.180
You're asking for more money now for immigrants, and our people, our citizens are living on the streets.
01:18:50.860
If you're going to, while you're asking for more money, include our homeless people.
01:18:59.760
Include our veterans that are on the street, people that fought for this country.
01:19:13.580
But I got the, I can, I'm mad enough to say it.
01:19:17.400
I got to tell you, somebody, a veteran needs to organize the veterans who are upset about this and want to peacefully protest.
01:19:40.080
You know, in Lebanon, you know, the people of Hezbollah, home security consists of a series of walkie-talkies that, what?
01:19:50.400
Oh, I'm sorry, that doesn't, anyway, among the people of Hezbollah, home security used to consist of walkie-talkies, but they're reconsidering that.
01:20:00.600
Anyway, you don't have to use primitive technology to keep your home safe.

The art show and museum is happening this weekend at the Mercury Studios.
01:21:32.880
It is all about American history, told through the paintings of some of the greatest artists currently painting in America.
01:21:42.480
And the stories that you will see are just remarkable.
01:21:46.160
I've got to do a quick video today for X or something to show some of the stuff.
01:21:51.640
I say we have 30 of the best artists in the country.
01:21:56.260
Actually, technically, it's 29 of the greatest artists and me.
01:22:00.700
Luckily, they put all of my art at the very beginning instead of at the end.
01:22:06.920
And then you go around the corner and you see everybody else's work and you forget about mine quickly.
01:22:14.800
Like it's like at the end of the fireworks display, just one little bottle rocket goes up.
01:22:22.940
And we have paired him with the artifacts from our vault that inspired all of these things.
01:22:29.660
So you'll see all kinds of stuff that you just don't see ever.
01:22:37.300
I don't even know if this is going to make it in the art show.
01:22:55.500
I'm not sure if the VIP breakfast with me on Saturday still has openings, but you can just look for the VIP tickets.
01:23:12.180
It's not too much of a stretch to assume that if you have a dog, you probably like your dog.
01:23:18.300
I love my dog and want to be feeding him the very best.
01:23:23.760
I didn't know that, you know, there's nothing good.
01:23:26.640
Imagine feeding your child food that has been, you know, sterilized so it could sit on the shelf for at least two years, only feeding them that.
01:23:36.000
Do you think they would be healthy after like, you know, 10 years?
01:23:39.660
All of the good stuff is sterilized out of kibble food.
01:23:43.100
So you've got to put you've got to put that life back into it.
01:23:50.360
The folks at rough greens are so confident that your dog is going to love rough greens.
01:23:54.280
You just go to rough greens dot com slash back.
01:23:56.800
That's rough greens spelled like a dog would spell it.
01:24:02.180
If dogs could spell rough greens dot com slash back rough greens dot com slash back or call 833 Glenn 33.
01:24:15.500
OK, we're going to take a quick look at what the Fed did yesterday.
01:24:19.460
And I'm not sure what it means, but Carol does.
01:24:41.620
You're going to take a quick look at what Predator Sean said.
01:25:13.500
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:25:25.640
Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:25:28.460
Well, the Fed did something yesterday that the only times in history they have done it, recent history,
01:25:38.880
Then before that, it was the end of 2007, right before the financial collapse and the Great Recession.
01:25:46.360
Before that, they did it during the dot-com bubble.
01:25:48.840
I mean, they cut the interest rate by 50 basis points.
01:25:58.460
It's confusing to me because I don't know what signal we're supposed to get from this,
01:26:04.100
especially when the only times they've ever done it is when we're just about at a panic situation.
01:26:12.580
She joins me in just a couple of seconds here first.
01:26:16.780
The ultimate faith of our nation really could rest on something as simple as
01:26:20.440
how long do we continue to kill innocent babies in the womb?
01:26:26.220
How long before we try to save the moms and the babies?
01:26:31.540
The change doesn't begin with people who are having abortions.
01:26:34.400
It begins with you and me because we have to change hearts and minds.
01:26:39.060
One way we can do this is by supporting the ministry of Preborn.
01:26:42.620
Preborn is the country's largest pro-life organization.
01:26:45.160
They're leading the charge to put an end to abortion and every day they sponsor free ultrasounds for women
01:26:50.580
as well as providing help for up to two years after the baby is born.
01:26:54.700
When a mom sees her unborn child on that monitor, when she hears that heartbeat,
01:26:58.720
she knows he's twice as likely to continue choosing life for her baby.
01:27:03.940
Preborn, saving 200 babies a day with help from people just like you.
01:27:30.840
I'm hoping you can make sense and maybe some good news out of what happened yesterday
01:27:36.060
because I can't find a way to it because of the history of cutting the interest rate this much.
01:27:44.240
My first thought was, this is election interference by the Fed.
01:27:48.700
My second thought was, when did they last do this?
01:27:57.160
Well, first of all, Glenn, I just want you to know that I am unburdened by what has been.
01:28:01.300
And now the market is in terms of interest rates because we are in a rate cutting environment.
01:28:08.440
And I think the important thing to remember is that when we talk about, you know, rate
01:28:14.040
heights, rate cuts, anything the Fed's doing, we have to keep it in context.
01:28:18.740
And the backdrop is that we came out of 15 years of what's called ZERB, Zero Interest Rate
01:28:25.120
Policy, where the interest rates were at or near zero, unprecedented, as well as the Fed
01:28:34.580
So this is an unprecedented, does not have an analog that we can directly compare to.
01:28:40.680
Not to say that it's not important to go back and look at what's happened historically,
01:28:46.460
And cutting 50 basis points or half a percent today is different than when we're cutting
01:28:55.300
I also am somebody who, as you know, I've said on this program many times that I think
01:29:01.460
I think that they went up too high and that they were too slow to cut to begin with.
01:29:09.320
So how does the market interpret and how should individuals interpret a cut?
01:29:14.840
Well, there's the potentially the bad and potentially the good.
01:29:17.460
So we'll walk through both of those real quickly.
01:29:22.320
When you are saying that the economy is doing amazing and it's just, you know, it's ripping
01:29:27.180
along and then to do a very large cut, they could have done half of that.
01:29:34.040
But to come out after not doing anything and say, oh, we got to move 50 points, can send
01:29:42.180
If you looked at the market yesterday, they were not taking the news so great.
01:29:50.040
And then when they gave up back all the gains yesterday, but today they've had a day to
01:29:54.640
digest it and the market thinks that this is a good thing.
01:29:59.600
So, you know, but but again, after 15 years of zero interest rate policy, you know, it
01:30:07.620
does make sense for us to get back to what's considered a neutral rate.
01:30:16.920
So if you think about what the neutral rate is, which is theoretical, we don't know the
01:30:21.000
number, but basically it's the dividing line between policy that is restrictive and policy
01:30:28.320
And what we're trying to do is have the Fed have no influence in either direction.
01:30:33.120
I believe that we are still in that restrictive area.
01:30:37.200
So bringing it down from, you know, two, four, three quarters to five percent, again, is not
01:30:45.900
And so I don't think that will cause inflation.
01:30:48.760
We have to remember, too, again, going back to where I started, companies and individuals
01:30:53.540
had 15 years to take out debt at basically no cost.
01:31:03.500
And consumers right now don't have a lot of runway.
01:31:07.000
So the idea of, you know, a rate cut unleashing massive demand when we've gone to fours, three
01:31:14.520
quarters to five percent, I don't see this as something that's going to unleash massive
01:31:19.320
So here's here's I just love your opinion on this.
01:31:22.340
As a businessman, I know I wouldn't be spending a dime right now on hiring, building anything,
01:31:30.740
not a dime until I see what happens at the election.
01:31:35.000
And depending on the election, if we go with Harris and we become much more restrictive
01:31:41.400
and harder and more global and everything else, I'm I mean, then I'm just battening down the hatches.
01:31:48.120
If Trump gets in, I'd be willing to invest because, all right, good.
01:31:54.540
We can hire some more people, et cetera, et cetera.
01:31:56.320
I don't see anybody making those moves rationally, no matter what the interest rate is at this
01:32:09.300
I think that in terms of your one of your first statements is is this political?
01:32:14.340
The Biden-Harris administration are going to be pushing out and saying, look, we've got
01:32:22.060
Otherwise, they wouldn't have lowered it and lowered it by so much.
01:32:25.500
So I think that is the push that they're going out and telling, trying to convince people.
01:32:31.000
Now, they've been trying to convince people of things that make absolutely no sense for
01:32:36.080
So, you know, if I'm a business person, do I go ahead and make the investments?
01:32:42.700
But are there some people who might, you know, it's a push.
01:32:46.820
But I do think, you know, the challenge is it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy that
01:32:51.280
if you get worried that there is a recession and you create these restrictive behavior
01:32:59.320
And that's one of the things that we end up worrying about.
01:33:03.620
He mentioned the the problem with unemployment.
01:33:06.840
Unemployment's going on because you just added seven to 20 million people to, you know, the
01:33:11.380
country is I mean, people are saying anecdotally that and we are, I guess, seeing it in numbers
01:33:21.240
that the jobs that are being filled are being filled with illegals and not American citizens.
01:33:27.220
How long can that go on before it's just, you know, an absolute wreck?
01:33:32.940
So the way that I've interpreted the economy is I see it as K shaped.
01:33:38.900
If you think about the letter K, you have, you know, that one part of the K that goes
01:33:44.600
And you have the people who are at the lower end of the K who have been struggling and the
01:33:50.060
people who are at that higher part of the K, the asset holders, the people with the white
01:33:54.760
collar jobs and the homes who have been doing well.
01:33:57.440
And you have to remember that what we've been seeing is it really is that higher part of
01:34:04.980
So not only do we have those illegals who are coming in and creating drains on everything,
01:34:10.220
right, they're creating drains on employment, on the national debt, on housing, on everything.
01:34:16.160
But we're also starting to see these cracks in the white collar labor market.
01:34:21.180
When you hear Amazon saying, oh, we want everybody back in the office, it means that companies
01:34:27.380
now have the power to demand that when they didn't have the power and buried in that
01:34:31.800
statement was, oh, we're trying to get rid of some managers.
01:34:34.980
We've seen more and more layoffs on the tech side.
01:34:38.060
So if we see that crack from the white collar piece, I think, at least in the short term,
01:34:44.340
that's going to have the biggest impact on shifting what's going to happen here.
01:34:51.040
They're trying to get ahead of whether or not they can do that remains to be seen because
01:34:59.840
We have that drag that's happening on the white collar piece.
01:35:02.900
And then we have this massive illegal immigration that's putting strains on the system.
01:35:10.840
And I will say, Glenn, we hear all of these people talking about technology and AI and how
01:35:19.640
If you think that it's going to replace jobs, the jobs that they're going to replace are unskilled
01:35:24.220
workers, right, the person who's making your burrito at Chipotle and the like, you could
01:35:29.080
possibly make an argument that we do not need any more legal immigration in this country,
01:35:35.260
with the exception of some very high merit based people at all, in addition to this, you
01:35:41.280
know, travesty that's happening with the illegal immigration.
01:35:44.000
So this is going to be, you know, hopefully we can get President Trump in there.
01:35:48.400
But this needs to be attacked in a serious fashion because it's going to have massive
01:35:52.800
implications for the economy on top of the biggest issue.
01:35:56.780
And it feeds right into it, which is the debt and the deficit spending that continues to
01:36:04.660
So all of these things are puzzle pieces, but we can't let the noise about a Fed rate cut
01:36:09.800
or what's happening distract us from that big issue.
01:36:13.300
We need to grow the economy and we need to reduce spending so we can get debt to GDP back
01:36:17.940
to a normalized level and be able to save our country.
01:36:21.400
Yeah. Carol, thank you. Appreciate it. Carol Roth, the author of You Will Own Nothing,
01:36:26.180
former investment banker and a contributor to Blaze and also to this program. I just love
01:36:32.040
her. She explains things the way, you know, people like me talk or just regular people.
01:36:37.440
Carol, thank you so much. It's carolroth.com slash news, carolroth.com slash news. You know,
01:36:44.320
one of the things that is really very concerning is how much money we are shifting over to third world
01:36:52.980
countries. You know, a lot of people will come here and then they'll they'll work and they'll
01:36:57.420
take that money and they will send it back home. That means there's fewer dollars in our economy
01:37:03.340
that hurts us when when stuff like that is happening. And we're doing it. We're doing it
01:37:11.960
everywhere. And then we're having the taxpayers who are already burdened having to pay for
01:37:19.680
the hotels and everything else. And by the way, that was all planned in the American Recovery Act.
01:37:26.560
So don't let Biden or Harris tell you that they're, you know, they're against this and they were
01:37:31.560
surprised by it because it was in the American Recovery Act in 2021. We didn't know it at the
01:37:36.920
time. We had to go find it now that they're spending all this money. Who's paying for the
01:37:40.940
hotels? Who's paying for all that? Well, you are through the American Recovery Act. And you're
01:37:45.020
sending all that money into NGOs that you don't know who they are. I don't know who they are.
01:37:50.760
I bet you some of them aren't really good, but that's what's happening. And our vets,
01:37:56.560
and the people who have actually struggled and tried to make ends meet, our vets, especially
01:38:04.240
who are on the streets, our government said they couldn't do anything to help them.
01:38:11.500
Well, wait a minute. We brought this up last hour and the phones are jammed with veterans. So I want
01:38:17.460
to take those when we come back in 60 seconds. First, being a real estate agent isn't just a job,
01:38:22.520
at least it shouldn't be. It's an art and a craft to it. Practice of good habits,
01:38:26.400
techniques that take people several years to truly master and then stay up to date with the
01:38:31.820
latest ways to connect with people and get them to see your house before they even come to town.
01:38:39.040
The agent doing that job usually comes with a deserved reputation because they understand
01:38:43.720
there's something deeply important about getting it right. It's your money. It's your house. It's your
01:38:51.460
time. This is why I started Real Estate Agents I Trust about 10 years ago with my brother, Robert.
01:38:57.480
I saw the contrast between mediocre agents who are a dime a dozen and the ones who truly knew the best
01:39:03.560
practices and who cared deeply about what they did. Agents we work with can make all of the difference in
01:39:09.560
your home and buying and selling experience. Please do yourself a favor. Reach out to realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:39:17.980
This is something I don't charge you for. We're just going to give you a referral. You interview them.
01:39:23.160
See if you don't notice the difference. Realestateagentsitrust.com. 10 seconds. Station ID.
01:39:37.000
Let's go to Texas. And is it Batia? Is that how you say your name, sir?
01:39:41.880
Uh, I'm not a servant. Thank you anyway. Oh, I'm sorry.
01:39:46.900
My name is Natalia. I am a Vietnam era veteran of the Women's Army Corps. I serve stateside and I talk
01:39:57.420
to a lot of veterans on social media and on the telephone because I happen to be bedridden at the
01:40:04.340
moment. Uh, I would like to tell you that they are outraged at the way that the illegals are being
01:40:12.760
favored over people who have actually been wounded in combat, both psychologically and physically.
01:40:20.680
And I myself am outraged because I was living in a low-income housing project. They threw all of us
01:40:28.220
out to accommodate the influx of, uh, these illegal people. And we were getting, because I can't go
01:40:38.360
anywhere. I was getting a hot meal from Meals on Wheels every day, but now it's only limited to one
01:40:45.040
meal on Fridays because the fluid is going to the illegals apparently. How are you?
01:40:53.400
I also hear I'm going to get two-thirds social security cut because the illegals won't put money.
01:41:02.580
Any sort of supplementary food help the food stamps and things because it's all going to the illegals.
01:41:10.960
And, uh, veterans, we have veterans who are desperately trying to find work. Our tech section
01:41:17.040
is being laid off and replaced with artificial intelligence.
01:41:21.760
I try to call the VA. I have to go through recordings and recordings, uh, artificial intelligence.
01:41:30.600
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Where, where are you in Texas? What town?
01:41:35.280
You're in Austin and you're only getting one hot meal a week?
01:41:42.700
Okay. Can, let me, I'm going to put you on hold. Um, let's get her phone number. There's got to be
01:41:48.740
somebody in Austin, a group, a church, anybody that can help, uh, Batia get more than one hot meal,
01:41:54.460
uh, a week bedridden and a vet. Uh, let me go to David in Florida. Hi, David.
01:42:03.360
Uh, I happen to be a vet myself and I'm very fortunate because I'm also a mechanical engineer
01:42:09.440
and I've worked in the oil and gas industry for the last 30 years. I was in the Iraqi conflict
01:42:14.220
that served two tours over there. Um, so I've never had some of the problems that my brothers
01:42:18.780
and sisters in the military have had. And I've always been very fortunate that, but on week one
01:42:24.200
of Joe Biden's administration, when he shut off that oil line, the oil and gas industry shut down.
01:42:29.840
I lost my job and I've now been unemployed for like the last five months. And I'm very serious.
01:42:36.220
I have a list. I keep it. I'm very in return when it comes to keeping track of things. I have a list
01:42:41.040
of over 5,000 jobs I've applied for in the last five months and not one company's hiring. And I've
01:42:47.100
never gone more than a week with my background, 30 years experience. I get hired almost immediately
01:42:52.400
and it's, it's that bad. And it gets even better. I applied for unemployment, which I didn't want
01:42:57.560
to do because I'm a man and we don't want to do that. I know that's what it's for though.
01:43:01.180
When you have no other choice, exactly. It's called unemployment insurance for a reason.
01:43:04.900
So I applied for it and the state of Florida said, Oh, you haven't lived here long enough.
01:43:08.680
So you have to go back to Texas. That was five months ago. I still have not, I'm like almost
01:43:13.880
out of savings and I don't need anything. I'm fine. I'm just saying it's that bad. And yes,
01:43:19.960
if they're giving billions of dollars to illegals, this has got to stop immediately.
01:43:24.280
David, uh, thank you. I I'm sorry to hear this. Uh, this is just such a, this is a blight. This
01:43:32.280
is, you know what this is, this is as embarrassed as I was on the day we pulled out of Afghanistan.
01:43:39.500
That's how embarrassing this is. This, how, that's how shameful this is. And, and we all know it. I
01:43:45.900
mean, look, I'm, I'm, I'm preaching to the choir. I, I don't think there are Democrats out there
01:43:51.020
who, you know, except for the political ones. I mean, who's, who thinks this is fair or right?
01:43:58.080
I don't think any of them. I mean, this has to change. It has to change the way to change
01:44:04.680
it is to vote this system out. But you know, I, I, I will support any veterans organization
01:44:12.940
that is legitimate and, uh, and, and really wants to, you know, change things. Uh, you
01:44:20.500
should call me, uh, cause I would love to support you. I would love to, if you're going to do
01:44:25.740
a march or whatever you're going to do, I am with you on that. Uh, let me go to Johnny in
01:44:32.040
Florida. Hello, Johnny. Uh, hello, sir. How are you? I'm good.
01:44:36.200
Uh, yes, I'm a veteran myself and, uh, I actually work at the VA and I recently,
01:44:43.840
are you, do you have something over your, do you have something over your phone or?
01:44:47.360
Well, I'm just trying to cover my voice a little bit. I'll just talk. I guess it doesn't matter.
01:44:51.680
People will find me. They find me. Uh, I'm a veteran myself and, uh, I also work at the VA
01:44:56.580
and I can tell you that there's miles and miles and miles of corruption. Uh, I did a podcast,
01:45:04.280
uh, a little while ago with a couple of guys and I, uh, tried sharing it with you as well. And
01:45:08.920
a couple of people at, uh, blaze media. Oh, Jason. Hi, Jason. If he's still there.
01:45:13.520
Yeah, he is. Uh, hello, jarhead. I'm a squid. Uh, it's, it's pathetic. I mean, veterans aren't
01:45:21.820
even the third priority on a good day. And as far as the illegals go, they've been, uh, trying
01:45:27.780
to appropriate funds from the VA. I believe you and blaze media had written that story. They're
01:45:33.560
taking illegals to VA medical centers for treatment. Yeah. And yeah, everywhere you
01:45:38.680
look, it's veterans are being kicked out of homes. Okay. So wait, are veterans not getting
01:45:44.680
medical care or standing in line because of illegals at the VA hospitals? I don't know
01:45:51.140
for sure, but I have, I haven't seen it personally, but I know that the VA medical centers have been
01:45:57.020
used for a crazy Glenn Beck. Your phone call coming up in just a second. If you happen to
01:46:04.600
be a veteran, this is just obscene. Uh, there are nights when sleep comes incredibly easy.
01:46:09.700
And then there are nights that my wife is gone and I, I just toss and turn all night. We don't
01:46:14.560
sleep well without each other. I hope we're going to be one of those couples that, you know,
01:46:20.140
dies in our sleep, holding our hands, holding each other's hands. Anyway, uh, news stories like the
01:46:25.720
president getting shot again, uh, can, you know, keep you up at night. What's going on in the world
01:46:31.400
can keep you up at the night. May I suggest whether your sleep is caused by that or just,
01:46:36.080
you can't shut your brain down Z factor. It comes from the makers of relief factor,
01:46:40.220

01:47:22.100
There are many things that I believe that I shall never say, but I shall never say the things I do
01:47:40.440
not believe. That has been a mantra of mine for a very long time. Uh, you know, uh, I was talking to
01:47:47.980
somebody and they said, you should keep a diary. And I said, you know, my diary is my show. And they
01:47:52.220
said, no, it's not because you don't say everything that you, that you actually believe is coming and
01:47:57.000
what's happening. And I said, okay, yeah, you're right. So I started keeping a diary. Um, let me
01:48:02.340
share something that, um, uh, that, you know, I told Stu at one point, if I ever shared things like
01:48:09.480
this, you'll know how much trouble we're in. And I kind of gave you, I kind of gave you a color code,
01:48:14.120
right? Yeah. We're at the, we're at the very, we're at the ruby red, uh, layer. So I want you
01:48:21.240
to understand, we're going to give you some, uh, poll numbers here. Stu has been working on, but
01:48:25.760
they're not his poll numbers. These are just a compilation of all of the polls. Um, and to give
01:48:31.920
a good idea of where we are, where we are is not good. Okay. I, in my faith, we have a hundred plus
01:48:41.300
old, uh, prophecy about America. And, uh, it says, uh, in, you know, short form here that
01:48:52.120
there will come a time, um, in the latter days where America will begin to fail and, uh,
01:48:58.520
its constitution will be hanging by a thread and good people will rise up and save it at
01:49:05.660
the last moment. That is this time. Now you don't have to believe what my faith or anything.
01:49:15.000
You don't have to believe any of that, but you do have to recognize the constitution is
01:49:20.420
almost gone. This election, you cannot sit it out. You, you will re I promise you, you will
01:49:28.540
regret you sitting this election out for the rest of your life. Your children will ask you
01:49:34.820
why didn't you vote on this election? This is unlike any other election ever, except maybe
01:49:42.980
during the civil war. This is a critical election. You want to save the constitution and freedom.
01:49:50.620
You must engage and go vote. And I'll show you why we have to have everybody off the bench.
01:49:57.980
All the people who are like, I, you know, I don't pay to, and the people who say this,
01:50:01.260
they don't listen to me. Ah, you know, I just, it's all hogwash. It's all whatever. You cannot sit
01:50:07.800
this out. And here's why. If you believe like we do that Kamala Harris will take us in a direction
01:50:16.640
that will be the end of the America that we know of that we've grown up in and Donald Trump and along
01:50:24.440
with people like Robert Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard and this team will come in and restore it for Democrats
01:50:31.320
and Republicans. We need everybody on the field. Let's have Stu give his, uh, look now at the, uh, the
01:50:40.820
numbers. Yeah. And I, and we shouldn't be super pessimistic. No, no, no. I, I know if we all show up, we can
01:50:47.860
win. Absolutely. But they will, I believe they will cheat. So we can't have a tie going in. So a little
01:50:53.800
bit about what this project is. It's a project of the Glenn Beck program. We're calling it the pulse
01:50:57.500
cast. And basically the idea of it is to kind of put your finger on the pulse of all these different
01:51:02.180
metrics. If you notice you watch polling averages, you get different numbers from like a real clear
01:51:07.700
politics and the New York times, and there's a bunch of different stuff. There's always a different
01:51:11.580
poll that comes out and you can always find a poll that you really love for your candidate or you,
01:51:15.300
your opponent really loves for their candidate. So how do you get the overall picture? You know,
01:51:20.440
there are election modelers who are building all this stuff up all the time, you know,
01:51:23.920
and the Nate Silvers and the 538s and all these different groups. So how do you look at all of
01:51:27.740
these and know what, what it boils down to? What is the consensus of all these people? So to let you
01:51:33.400
know, this is not a prediction we're making. This is not the Glenn Beck prediction of the election.
01:51:37.280
It's not the super gear predictions on the blaze, uh, prediction of the election. It is just
01:51:42.500
looking at what everybody who is in this industry pollsters, um, election modelers, um, polling
01:51:50.420
average creators from media sources, prediction markets, looking at all of these different metrics
01:51:56.000
and getting boiling it all down. And the number that we can update every day to kind of give you
01:52:00.500
a state of the race, where are we at any given time? Um, and I think, you know, it's important
01:52:05.240
because there is a major, major divergence from some of these sources. The reason that the divergence
01:52:11.420
exists is every one of them are making individual decisions. Pollsters are including how, you know,
01:52:16.380
figuring out how to wait, uh, each individual demographic group, uh, polling averages, uh,
01:52:21.940
creators are saying, okay, we're not going to include this one. We're going to include this
01:52:25.180
one. We're going to wait this one more. They're all making these decisions and election modelers
01:52:29.100
are really doing it where they're taking all this with fundamentals and polling history and all
01:52:32.860
this stuff. So we take all of that out and give you one consensus number. And we've been running this
01:52:37.700
behind the scenes for about six weeks, uh, as since Harris got into the race and it started out
01:52:44.180
with, you know, Trump was ahead at the very beginning. Um, Harris had her little boom lit
01:52:48.600
there where she was, uh, had the sort of sugar high of the announcement that all came back to about
01:52:53.960
equal, uh, right about the time of the day before the first debate. And since the first debate,
01:53:00.100
the polls have gone the wrong way for Donald Trump. So it's crazy. I think we have the numbers
01:53:05.620
ready here. Yeah. Uh, so today the chances for Donald Trump to win 44.3%, uh, Kamala Harris at 55.7%.
01:53:14.120
Hell up. Now you can see the divergence, especially over the past week or so. This does not mean
01:53:20.100
that, that Donald Trump is in a terrible position. I mean, if it's 55 45, it's barely a flip of a coin.
01:53:26.580
So he is, you know, it's a flip of a coin. It's very, very close. It's too close. I mean,
01:53:33.200
if these numbers were reversed, I'd still feel as uncomfortable. Yes. And you should. Because this
01:53:40.100
is, this is too close. It's just too close. It's too close. And I will say this over the next few
01:53:45.940
days, cause there've been some tough polling for Trump today from a couple of high, highly rated
01:53:50.180
pollsters. Included in this? Not included in this yet. So I would expect these numbers to get a
01:53:54.120
little bit worse over the next few days. Um, but that doesn't mean that Trump is going to lose or you
01:53:59.920
should get pessimistic. I, you know, this should just be a wake up call. Get your ass
01:54:04.580
in gear. If you're, if you're, if you're thinking to yourself, I don't know if I'm going to get
01:54:08.180
involved. I mean, I think Trump's got it. Everyone around me has got Trump signs, not really the
01:54:12.980
picture of the country. And I think a lot of times when we get sucked up into our own little
01:54:16.060
social media bubbles, we see lots of people saying positive things about our candidates. We
01:54:19.700
don't, we don't necessarily look at the whole picture. This doesn't mean these are right.
01:54:23.500
Pollsters are wrong. Predictor, you know, forecasters are wrong all the time. It's just giving you an idea
01:54:29.820
the state of the race and where it's moving. And if you, if you're on the fence as to whether
01:54:33.800
you think you should get involved, uh, it's probably a good day to jump in. Can you, can
01:54:37.520
you give me the most optimistic with credibility? Yeah. I mean, it's interesting by far the most
01:54:43.620
optimistic guy on Trump right now is Nate Silver and he's the best known. He's has a very, has
01:54:50.920
a very good record, but he's overwhelmingly more pop, more positive on Trump's chances right
01:54:55.940
now. What do you think he knows? You know, I think I look at some of these people that I've
01:55:01.380
seen from the past modeling these elections, and I think they are a little, uh, they have
01:55:06.660
continually been a little bit negative on Trump and Republicans in prior elections. I think Nate's,
01:55:13.040
uh, Nate's record is pretty good, uh, compared to some of these others. So that's a positive.
01:55:18.260
Um, you know, a lot of this was built in for a while. There was built in because he has in his
01:55:23.820
model, um, uh, an election about, and they all have this, but, uh, a, they all calculate it
01:55:29.080
differently. And he has in his model, a, um, bounce for, uh, conventions and things like that,
01:55:35.660
that helped, even though Harris was a little bit ahead, his model was telling him she should be more
01:55:41.560
ahead if that went well, right? Like that, that's the type of judgment they're making. It's all based
01:55:46.020
on, you know, prior history. Um, he's been more aggressive to say that Trump's, you know, when you look
01:55:51.860
at the fundamentals of this election, and this is what should make you positive. If you're, if you're,
01:55:55.140
if you're rooting for Donald Trump, the fundamentals of this election completely favor Donald Trump.
01:56:01.640
This is a failed administration. The economy's bad. All these things that normally indicate victory
01:56:06.820
point toward Trump. That's really positive, but you still got to face, you got to face that battle.
01:56:12.640
And if Kamala Harris comes off as this new candidate with no responsibility for the past three and a
01:56:17.760
half years, it's going to be tough for Trump, right? I mean, as we all know that we talk about
01:56:22.680
Trump derangement syndrome when we're, when we're blaming it on the, on the, on the media for some
01:56:26.640
bad clip, it's true, but it also is, it's very, it's at pandemic levels. There is half the country
01:56:32.400
that really can't stand this guy and it's irrational no matter what he does. Which side's
01:56:35.940
more passionate? The latest polls actually have this reversed as to what it's been since the
01:56:43.080
beginning. The latest polls show that Harris has actually taken the lead when it comes to
01:56:48.800
enthusiasm. I don't believe it. I, it's hard for me to believe as well. And that's why I look at
01:56:55.120
this stuff and I don't take it as gospel. It is, there are margins of error built in. There's all
01:56:59.800
these things. And I just, people get so frustrated. That's why I'm giving you all these disclaimers.
01:57:03.960
I know the people in this audience are smart enough to understand what I'm talking about here,
01:57:07.040
but the latest polls have it that basically it comes from, they were so depressed about Biden
01:57:13.480
and how that was going. Many of them weren't going to vote. Many of them were going to sit
01:57:17.100
home, sit home. This is one of the reasons why Trump was dominating Harris. They now feel they have
01:57:21.920
a chance. They have a chance. They think they can win. They have something new. They think maybe
01:57:26.300
Donald Trump isn't going to be the next president of the United States. So they are very enthusiastic
01:57:31.320
at stopping him. And now because they believe they have a chance, they're going to be there at the
01:57:36.000
polls. You cannot, unlike when it was Biden, you cannot depend on them to stay home.
01:57:41.180
This is a different race than Biden. This is going to be hard and we're going to need
01:57:46.060
So this is, we'll give you these updates every day and tell you what the latest polls do not
01:57:53.440
despair. Do not write off and say, well, they're going to cheat anyway. So what difference does it
01:58:01.520
make? No, if we can somehow or another get all of our friends to vote, just our churches,
01:58:07.840
if just our church would go out and, uh, and actually take a stand as individuals, I'm not
01:58:16.320
asking churches to, to take the stand. I'm asking congregations, you as a congregant, go make sure
01:58:23.420
that everybody that sits in the pew and sits in the pews around you actually goes out and votes
01:58:29.000
and votes for principles, not for parties, not for personalities, but principles, the time tested
01:58:37.980
principles that we used to all hold self-evident because that's what's on the election. That's
01:58:44.860
what this is all about. It's not about Donald Trump. It's not about Kamala Harris. It is about,
01:58:49.960
do you believe in the declaration of, uh, of independence, the constitution and the bill of
01:58:55.640
rights? That's, that's why RFK and Tulsi Gabbard and Alan Dershowitz have said, I cannot vote for
01:59:04.540
Kamala Harris. I cannot vote for the Democrats anymore because I know this is not about Donald
01:59:10.560
Trump. This is about the constitution. Wake your friends up because every, every person has to vote
01:59:19.640
or honestly you will regret it for the rest of your life. And I, I fear that some of us will regret
01:59:25.720

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're here. Let me go to Randy in Oklahoma. He
02:00:56.760
is a vet. Hello, Randy. Hello. Thank you for taking my call. You bet.
02:01:01.960
So I wanted to just go back on the VA healthcare conversation we were all having earlier. And
02:01:12.440
I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but I do know when president Trump was in,
02:01:18.960
if we could not get an appointment with the VA within 30 days, we were allowed to go to an outside
02:01:26.720
clinic and get care. Please tell me that hasn't changed. Well, I've been waiting five months to
02:01:33.920
get an appointment for pain management and I'm not being referred out for care outside of the VA
02:01:40.160
clinic. So I don't know if their policy changed, but I know the VA is not sending us, giving us that
02:01:47.300
option any longer. So I just want to make America aware that they say they care about veterans.
02:01:53.520
We don't see it. Thank you, Randy. You know, it is amazing to me that, um,
02:02:01.840
that there's not more outrage that the person running for president of the United States,
02:02:06.440
the person that, uh, is really the only one that is semi-coherent in the oval office now,
02:02:15.160
um, and wants to be the commander in chief said during the debate, we have no one in a conflict
02:02:22.420
zone, no one in a, uh, in a war zone, no one there's tonight. There are no, have you seen the
02:02:29.060
videos of the soldiers who are, you know, bombs going off just right around them. And they're like,
02:02:34.220
who the hell am I then? And you're the, you want to be the commander in chief and you don't have that
02:02:42.560
fact down. And you wonder why our vets think you don't care. Well, I don't know. Uh, you're giving
02:02:50.160
everything to illegals. You're giving nothing to them. And you won't recognize the people that,
02:02:58.420
that died at the Abbey gate, no matter what they do. You just won't even recognize that. You won't
02:03:05.580
recognize what a disaster it was to get out of Afghanistan the way you did. And now you're,
02:03:13.760
and now you're putting people up in hotels. Our veterans are on the streets.
02:03:22.980
I, I, I just don't know why this election is close. I really don't. I really don't. Other
02:03:28.640
than, um, we're experiencing a time of cults. It, you know, tomorrow I'm probably going to get into
02:03:37.600
this. I did some research over the last few days on cults. What, what, what defines a cult? What,
02:03:43.220
how do you know it's a cult? Um, you know, what, what do cults do to keep you in a cult? Oh my gosh,
02:03:50.020
you will not believe, uh, the similarities between cults and what we're experiencing in America right
02:04:00.540
now. Um, and the most important thing I didn't, I didn't do that research so I could say, look,
02:04:06.560
it's a cult. I did it. So you could learn how to talk to people because they immediately get very,
02:04:15.900
very hostile if you talk to them, but that's what cult members do. We'll talk about that on
02:04:22.640
tomorrow's program. If you missed any of the show today, go back and listen. You can get the long
02:04:27.000
