We have so much to go over on the hurricane and also on the strike that started last night at midnight.
00:00:05.820
I was thinking, you know, prices of everything are going to go up if the strike lasts very long.
00:00:12.380
And I was thinking American Giant will be able to not have to worry about it because nothing comes from overseas.
00:00:18.440
And then again, I think they're in the Carolinas.
00:00:22.360
I think their clothing factories are in the Carolinas.
00:00:26.040
I hope that they are safe and everything is fine.
00:00:33.860
We are going to understand that more and more as the strike from the port workers is going on.
00:00:43.640
And we're going to see it because of all of the problems that we have here in America with just this hurricane.
00:00:50.600
Things are just going to go through the roof again.
00:00:53.200
Well, here's what I would like you to consider.

Welcome to the Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment.
00:02:27.520
We have two things that we need to discuss this hour.
00:02:38.680
Nothing to panic about today, but I want you to really understand what this whole thing is about.
00:02:44.700
The second thing is the devastation from this hurricane.
00:02:49.260
We're going to talk about both of those and show you things you can do to prepare and to help.
00:02:58.060
First, Dan is a semi-professional bodybuilder in New York.
00:03:02.100
You know, Dan and I, you know, Dan, we've got a lot in common.
00:03:05.240
Anyway, he's been suffering from shoulder pain for years due to that weightlifting injury.
00:03:12.620
You know, Stu, I mean, if I've had one weightlifting injury, I've had a thousand.
00:03:21.780
Anyway, he kept hearing me talk about Relief Factor on the radio, wondered if it could help him.
00:03:26.700
Within a couple of weeks, beginning of taking it, he said his pain went away.
00:03:34.680
So now I'll see him again in those competitions.
00:03:40.880
But, you know, when you're competing against me.
00:03:42.440
Relief Factor is a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain by fighting inflammation,
00:03:47.280
which is the source of most of the pain in our bodies, and a lot of disease as well.
00:03:50.720
It's 100% drug-free, developed by doctors to reduce or eliminate pain.
00:03:55.180
Over a million people have tried Relief Factor's Quick Start.
00:04:00.300
Give Relief Factor a try with their three-week Quick Start.
00:04:05.640
See how it can help you turn back the clock on pain.
00:04:18.100
We're going to get to the hurricane in just a bit.
00:04:21.560
If you want to help out, please go to MercuryOne.org and donate.
00:04:28.220
100 pennies on every dollar go exactly to the hurricane relief effort.
00:04:50.080
You're not going to believe what's happening there, but—
00:04:55.940
Maybe if you've paid attention to the last four years, maybe you will.
00:05:05.420
You know, you get up this morning, scrolling through your phone, checking your news feed, having a cup of coffee, and then there's this headline, U.S. port workers begin nationwide strike.
00:05:20.200
Now, we could—you could just blow this off because the ports and, you know, dock workers sounds distant.
00:05:28.140
You know, so it's the kind of the one you skip, I feel like.
00:05:32.460
Okay, this one is about to reach out right into your home, your wallet, your daily life, so I need to explain what's coming our way.
00:05:41.960
First, in week one, in the first week, you might not notice much, so there's no reason to panic.
00:05:50.160
You can go and, you know, go to the store and stock up on some things, but there's no reason to run out and do that this week.
00:06:01.800
Maybe you hear a blip on the news about some ships stuck offshore for a few industries hinting at some delays.
00:06:07.700
But for most people, life is going to go on as normal in week one.
00:06:13.560
Now, behind the scenes, things are starting to shake and crack a little bit.
00:06:19.180
Retailers, manufacturers, and businesses that depend on regular shipments are beginning to feel the pinch in week one.
00:06:26.880
The just-in-time supply system, you know, that we all learned about in COVID, that's beginning to have a little bit of a strain, and it's starting to wobble a little bit.
00:06:37.700
And while the shelves are still full for now, the stock rooms in the back are running thin.
00:06:43.720
By week two, by the second week, you're going to start feeling things.
00:06:50.120
So next week, maybe midweek, if it's still going on, maybe you head for the store in something as simple as bananas or a pair of new shoes.
00:07:03.680
Fresh avocados or berries that you've gotten used to.
00:07:18.700
By week two, they may start on some items to inch upward.
00:07:22.680
Businesses are now scrambling to get their hands on what's left, and the competition drives up cost.
00:07:29.240
That cheap TV that you were thinking of buying, you may have to add anywhere from 10% to 30% to the price tag by the end of week two.
00:07:40.080
If you were planning on doing some home repairs or upgrades, good luck.
00:07:44.800
All of the tools and materials are sitting in crates, gathering dust at the ports.
00:07:50.220
This is also a problem because of the hurricane.
00:07:56.000
Anything that you get at Home Depot is going to be in short supply because of the hurricane and by week two, the dock workers strike.
00:08:06.000
Now, by the third week, if it goes on that long, now we're getting into some problems.
00:08:12.640
It's no longer just a shortage of bananas or phone chargers.
00:08:19.040
Factories that rely on parts from overseas just in time can't keep running.
00:08:24.520
So the workers in those factories, people you might know, maybe it is you, are getting furloughed, sent home without pay because there's nothing for you to build.
00:08:33.480
Grocery stores begin to ration some items and limiting on some items how much you can buy.
00:08:40.600
Now, at this point, the strike is not a nuisance.
00:08:49.360
The online orders you placed, delayed, weeks out.
00:08:53.040
Businesses are pleading with the government for help by now.
00:08:56.100
But even if the strike ended in week three, it would take weeks to untangle the mess at the ports.
00:09:04.460
By now, inflation is beginning to rear its ugly head.
00:09:08.800
Everything from groceries to gas to clothes is more expensive than it was just two weeks ago.
00:09:17.000
This is when it becomes the full weight of the strike is unavoidable.
00:09:24.060
And I believe it becomes a national security problem.
00:09:27.260
And possibly by this time in week four, it is just one part of what I am looking for, and we'll explain later on the show, a polycrisis.
00:09:37.380
A polycrisis is what will take us out in a knockout blow.
00:09:43.280
And you already have a little bit of a polycrisis with the dock workers and the hurricane.
00:09:49.200
Small businesses are now closing their doors because they can't get their inventory.
00:09:53.920
Grocery store shelves are sparse with some items missing altogether.
00:10:01.160
Maybe you head to the hardware store only to find that the building materials you need are either unavailable or so expensive they're out of reach.
00:10:12.120
Timing couldn't be worse because we're heading into fall.
00:10:19.680
Retailers are counting on the next few months for a huge chunk of their sales.
00:10:24.520
And the Christmas gifts you've been eyeing, there's a good chance they won't make it in time for Christmas.
00:10:32.900
They're sitting in ships or backordered at factories.
00:10:36.580
Even if the strike ends after four weeks, the backlog will last for months.
00:10:45.320
You'll be paying a premium for anything you can find.
00:10:53.900
If you want to get some fruit and you have some extra fruit in the house, you know, for week two, if it goes on that line, great.
00:11:01.220
I can't imagine that this strike goes on very long.
00:11:10.500
However, I'm not sure if our president is too busy of lathering on sunscreen at the beach.
00:11:18.720
Or if his goals are just not the same as our goals.
00:11:42.620
And the media is saying, well, he can't really do anything, you know.
00:11:49.360
He stopped the train thing from going into a strike.
00:12:03.280
In a normal America, the president would make sure this strike was settled.
00:12:09.960
But wait until you hear what they're asking for and what they've already turned down.
00:12:14.620
So, if it goes four weeks, truckers, rail workers, warehouses will be overwhelmed trying to just move everything.
00:12:26.080
Prices will stay high through the holiday season.
00:12:35.720
Less to spend because inflation is going to chip away at your budget again.
00:12:39.900
The economic hit won't be limited just to higher prices.
00:12:45.220
Jobs will be lost as industries scramble to adapt disruptions.
00:12:49.220
Companies may start shifting operations to avoid reliance on our U.S. ports in the future.
00:12:56.280
Potentially relocating manufacturing or looking to automate more of their processes to reduce reliance on labor.
00:13:03.640
That will mean fewer jobs for the very workers that are striking today in the long run.
00:13:09.180
So, when you hear about the port thing, know this is a very serious issue.
00:13:18.020
But if you want to be prepared, you might don't go crazy at a Costco.
00:13:25.440
Just make sure you have what your family needs in case things get worse.
00:13:35.140
Now, let me take a quick one-minute break and come back and tell you what they're asking for.
00:13:41.100
A conversation we should have had 20 years ago.
00:13:55.940
That means they've come over on a ship, went to a dock, and then maybe they were trimmed or cut or packaged here.
00:14:13.480
There's not going to be any price increase on meat with good ranchers because, you know, they have the supply from here in America.
00:14:22.480
And there's nothing quite like watching meat prices just go up and doubling, in some cases, tripling.
00:14:31.440
I want you to go to good ranchers and get their presidential promo.
00:14:34.720
For a limited time, you can receive a free add-on for four solid years with any subscription.
00:14:41.420
You can choose from plain chicken breast, Angus ground beef, applewood smoked bacon, or wild-caught salmon.
00:14:47.960
To claim the offer, just use the promo code GLEN when you go to goodranchers.com.
00:14:54.200
This is such an important company because they are helping the ranchers stay in business.
00:15:00.140
We've got to keep these farms and ranches here in America alive.
00:15:23.420
So, you know, when you hear what the dock workers are striking for, maybe you think it's reasonable, but let's get into the details.
00:15:37.040
They want assurances that their jobs won't be taken over by machines, by automation.
00:15:50.860
But when you start unpacking what they're asking for and comparing it to the average American worker, and when you consider the long-term effects on our country's economy, especially in competition with China, picture gets a little more complex.
00:16:07.200
The average longshoreman, the dock workers, already make about $100,000 to $200,000 a year.
00:16:17.380
Some even earn more when you factor in overtime.
00:16:20.300
Now, if you compare that to the average American worker who pulls in around $56,000 a year, that's quite a gap.
00:16:33.740
They are pushing for significant raises, sometimes 10% to 15% a year or even higher, depending on the location in the union negotiations.
00:16:44.900
For someone already making $100,000, that could mean a $10,000 to $15,000 or $20,000 raise every year.
00:16:52.580
Meanwhile, the average American worker, we're lucky to see a 2% or 3% raise.
00:16:59.920
In fact, with inflation running hot, many workers are losing purchasing power and wages are not keeping pace with inflation and the cost of living.
00:17:11.040
Over the term of the next six years, they are asking for a 77% pay raise over the six-year life of the contract.
00:17:24.600
Now, they've been offered a 50% increase and have turned that down.
00:17:31.840
Now, the dock workers in California and the West Coast, they got a 34% pay raise over the course of their contract.
00:17:44.940
These guys are asking for 77% increase over the next six years, been offered a 50% and have turned it down, walked away.
00:17:57.520
I mean, that's going to be hard for people to swallow.
00:18:12.200
But the pay is already far above the national average, and their demands for even more seem a little out of sync with what most people are experiencing in their lives.
00:18:22.280
And I am for people making as much money as they can.
00:18:26.120
But we're all connected, and everyone has to remember this is a business.
00:18:35.640
Everyone has to win because if it's just the dock workers, nobody wins.
00:18:41.240
Even at a 50% pay increase, that is going to be passed on to you in higher costs.
00:18:49.600
The real problem comes in what their second demand is.
00:18:55.200
The dock workers want ironclad guarantees that the ports will not replace any of them with a machine.
00:19:05.300
They're asking for a commitment that even as technology advances, ports won't introduce things like automated cranes or self-driving trucks or robotics to do the work faster, cheaper, more safely, and efficiently.
00:19:19.900
This is a conversation America and the world should have had 20 years ago.
00:19:30.880
We're going to come to a time where if you don't know what the meaning of life is, you're going to be kind of upside down.
00:19:40.380
Because people are going to start losing their jobs.
00:19:42.700
Maybe we should start looking at the jobs of the future and start training people for those because the average job is going away.
00:19:53.940
This is like AI should have had the should have had that discussion 20 years ago.
00:20:02.720
Because there is no leadership in this country.
00:20:08.980
And without vision, without a leader with vision, the people will perish.
00:20:21.540
No one wants to be told that we got a machine that can do your job faster and without breaks.
00:20:37.220
So now we have to figure out how do we retool instead of just saying, you know what, you're out.
00:20:45.960
Because if we don't retool, if we are acting like people who said the horse and buggy have to be kept, we lose China, their ports.
00:20:59.920
Have you seen the video that's circling the world now?
00:21:07.540
It's like one office and the whole port runs in one office.
00:21:11.580
They move goods faster, more efficiently than we do.
00:21:19.240
The robots work around the clock, minimal human interference.
00:21:26.120
This allows China to process millions of more containers than we do at a fraction of the cost and time.
00:21:34.880
Why do you think people buy their products from China?
00:21:38.020
Because they, through slave labor and now through automation, they can make it cheaper.
00:21:46.200
If we don't automate our ports, we are putting ourselves in a disadvantage for a long-term knockout punch.
00:21:59.040
Companies will ship through countries and ports that can move their goods faster and cheaper.
00:22:03.160
And if the U.S. sticks with old, labor-intensive methods, shipping companies will look elsewhere to countries like China that can get the job done more efficiently.
00:22:12.560
This will mean lost business for U.S. ports, fewer goods flowing through our economy, and ultimately fewer jobs for dock workers in the long run.
00:22:22.320
We, I'm sorry, gang, have to automate to be able to compete in today's world.
00:22:33.480
If you're willing to go back and live like the old-timey days, where, you know, back around the turn of the century, 80% lived below the poverty line.
00:22:51.220
But we have a brave new world that we are facing now.
00:23:02.660
Okay, the two-front war in Israel has been, that we have now seen, they're now saying it might be even a three-front war in Israel.
00:23:12.740
The rockets continue, and hopefully it will end soon, but there's over 60,000 people that are out of their homes now, basically refugees inside of their own country, having to live in shelters with no access to food, water, or many essentials.
00:23:29.520
Israel is a very small country, very small country.
00:23:33.260
The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is providing emergency food basic supplies for the evacuated Israeli families who are just trying to survive right now.
00:23:44.620
They're asking you today to make a gift of $100 to provide emergency food boxes and other critically needed emergency supplies for displaced families in Israel.
00:23:54.140

00:24:36.220
Let's go to the other big story of the day, and that is the hurricane.
00:24:41.500
Close to 100 people are dead now, six different states.
00:24:53.380
We have a lot to tell you on FEMA coming up in just a second.
00:24:57.420
They kind of changed, you know, they're like, yeah, we're more into equity.
00:25:03.800
So everything that you're doing personally is really important right now.
00:25:14.160
We had two giant helos come in yesterday full of supplies, landed in Asheville, and we have more things coming.
00:25:24.840
And if you can donate 100% of your dollar, we'll go right directly to the rescue effort and the relief efforts.
00:25:35.440
Somebody who knows how bad it is, because I believe he was on the ground at the time, Zach Dasher.
00:25:43.080
He is the executive officer of Tread Lively Entertainment, and he is also the nephew of Phil Robertson of Unashamed.
00:25:52.560
And you were on the ground in Asheville, weren't you, Zach?
00:25:57.700
Yeah, we're up here in a little town right outside of Asheville, Black Mountain, Swannanoa.
00:26:04.920
And it's, yeah, it's, Glenn, it's absolutely devastating.
00:26:07.780
I mean, I've been in a lot of floods, but what we're seeing here is, I mean, the infrastructure has been destroyed.
00:26:13.820
I mean, it looks like a war zone, you know, so it's bad.
00:26:18.780
It's a lot worse than probably people understand.
00:26:25.120
I have to see this myself, because I don't think I, you know, I know it's really bad, and I've seen the pictures, but I don't, I mean, you'd be better.
00:26:34.600
Do you really fully understand it unless you're standing there, Zach?
00:26:39.440
You know, Swannanoa has been completely devastated.
00:26:44.260
When I say devastation, I'm talking about not only are the buildings gone, but the ground that was underneath the buildings are gone.
00:26:52.300
I mean, it's been, I mean, this little creek that runs through here turned into like the Mississippi River, and it just took everything out in its path.
00:27:00.940
The children's home here in Black Mountain, where my wife serves on the board, they're stranded out there.
00:27:08.220
They had a mudslide that took out their lodge, and I'm hearing reports that there were 30, I think 35 missionary students that were there serving the home.
00:27:17.540
They were in a cabin together on the site, and one of the girls saw the ground starting to move.
00:27:25.660
And from what I've been told, they were seconds, I mean, but they got out.
00:27:30.280
One of the cool stories that you were talking about, FEMA, one of the cool stories about how community mobilizes, I just heard this from one of the pastors here in town, that there was a man who all he had was a cow.
00:27:40.840
He brought the cow up to the church here in Swannanoa.
00:27:45.140
And they slaughtered the cow and got 1,000 people.
00:27:53.280
The restaurants here in town, we brought generators in.
00:27:57.240
Everyone's, like, sharing food, starving people.
00:27:59.660
So that side of it is extremely encouraging just to see people coming together.
00:28:05.620
So it's been a super emotional time for all of us, you know, and fearful of the future.
00:28:11.960
I mean, the infrastructure, I'm telling you, that bridge is just gone, washed out.
00:28:18.940
The interstate coming up the mountain on Interstate 40, mudslide hit that.
00:28:24.220
Coming in Asheville from the west, I believe that interstate was washed out.
00:28:29.780
I was able to get in and out yesterday on I-26, brought in fuel, brought in supplies for our church, family, to share with the community.
00:28:38.100
So, yeah, we're boots on the ground, and we're just kind of in the ground right now.
00:28:43.780
Isn't this where Billy Graham's home is in that area?
00:28:48.840
In fact, the Cove, Will Graham runs the Cove here.
00:28:55.940
And the Billy Graham's home is in Black Mountain up in a little town called Montreat.
00:29:00.720
So, yeah, the Grahams have a strong influence here.
00:29:03.580
You know, and Samaritan's Purse is – this is what they do, exactly.
00:29:10.320
And so they've been – I mean, Boone was hit hard.
00:29:12.280
It's not just Black Mountain, Swaranoa, Asheville.
00:29:23.720
I mean, this is going to be a long-term recovery.
00:29:25.780
So, yeah, any donations, our church, swan.church, is a great place to give.
00:29:30.640
The Black Mountain Home for Children is a great place to give.
00:29:33.740
Obviously, what you guys are doing – oh, by the way, Glenn, one of the police officers came
00:29:38.000
by my house last night, and the first question out of his mouth was, hey, is Mercury 1 on the
00:29:43.780
ground, I saw that they've already dropped off, you know, two helicopters full of supplies
00:29:48.980
So you've got a lot of people that respect you up in this part of the country.
00:29:52.320
Oh, well, I wish we could do more, and we will do more.
00:29:56.980
We are always – we try to be the one or two in and the last one out.
00:30:02.780
So you just need to tell us what we need to do, Zach.
00:30:08.620
I think right now, yes, supplies are starting to trickle in.
00:30:12.640
And I think finding local churches and communities that are going to be here for the long haul
00:30:18.260
to give financially to, that are – I mean, what we're doing as a church is we're going
00:30:23.440
out and we're getting what we have, which is waters, formula, diapers, all of those
00:30:31.320
And so we're going to go back into the community.
00:30:33.240
I think, you know, we're really trying to mobilize for once all – once we're out of
00:30:37.100
the recovery – or out of the relief phase, then it's going to be recovery.
00:30:48.280
And if you want to donate to your organization, it's great.
00:31:08.620
So, for anybody that – I mean, that's easy to remember.
00:31:14.080
But if you want to give to the churches, Mercury One, that's usually where we spend most of
00:31:21.280
the money is with the churches because they're on the ground.
00:31:26.760
And, you know, I'll have to ask our executive director, but I'm sure we're already giving
00:31:35.360
And a lot of money will be going to the different churches all over.
00:31:55.300
You know, the only thing we had was water in our basement.
00:32:01.140
So, we're kind of like – our house has become like ground zero for feeding people.
00:32:05.320
And so, we got all our friends and neighbors and everybody's coming in.
00:32:07.600
And, you know, our neighborhood's all stepped up and everybody's sharing food.
00:32:11.740
I mean, that side of it, Lynn, is so beautiful to me.
00:32:15.320
I mean, it just screams, you know, the image of God.
00:32:24.040
And so, it's been – I've actually seen the spirit of Christ more in the last three days than having a long time.
00:32:30.880
I tell you, things are so dark, but the light is getting lighter as well.
00:32:36.520
You know, I doubt anybody's talking politics right now.
00:32:46.020
The divisiveness goes out the window when you need food, water, shelter.
00:32:51.520
And everybody's just loving on one another, hugging each other.
00:32:56.700
And I'm just thankful for what you guys are doing.
00:32:59.380
A lot of people here know about you guys bringing in supplies.
00:33:02.480
And I just want to thank you for Mercury One, what you're doing from the bottom of my heart.
00:33:10.980
Now, I haven't seen FEMA, but that doesn't mean that – I don't know what's going on.
00:33:22.380
What I'm seeing on the ground is a lot of local law enforcement, a lot of fire trucks coming in and EMS coming in from all over the place.
00:33:33.080
Chattanooga, Atlanta, High Point, and these guys, it is insane what – the transformation just in the last 48 hours of getting roads to mudslides.
00:33:48.040
I mean, like, it's incredible what they're doing.
00:33:55.360
But I don't really know what's going on because we don't have access to Internet.
00:34:01.200
I actually had to drive up to the one spot in about a 50-mile radius where I can get, actually, cell phone coverage to take this call.
00:34:08.800
So, I mean, there's just not a lot of – there's not cell phone coverage around here right now.
00:34:15.660
Let us know how we can – please stay in touch with us.
00:34:22.320
Zach Dasher, one of the Robertson clan from North Carolina.
00:34:35.960
I know there's a lot of people that are really doing good stuff.
00:34:44.900
But know that you can pick one yourself or we have just such a great network at Mercury One.
00:34:53.660
And the reason why I started Mercury One is for things like this and to not try to reinvent the wheel with a big corporate machine nationally.
00:35:07.380
We don't send, you know, things out from our warehouse.
00:35:15.540
We know who do – the people who do have warehouses that are fast and effective and the least expensive.
00:35:25.440
That's why we do a lot of the stuff with churches because they're organized on the ground, closest to the problem.
00:35:31.600
And, of course, we're airlifting in more water and food today into North Carolina.
00:35:42.460
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those, not just in North Carolina.
00:35:47.860
But this is six states and we'll tell you what, you know, what's happening with FEMA.
00:35:59.260
But I guess what we expect now from our government.
00:36:07.380
Again, if you want to make a difference, join us, mercuryone.org.
00:36:13.140
All right, when it comes to buying and selling houses, no two experiences are quite the same.
00:36:18.880
There are similarities, but a lot of differences as well.
00:36:21.480
And, you know, it can be kind of scary if you think about selling your house because, you know, there's a time for the first time every time.
00:36:31.740
So there's a lot to know if you want the experience to be as good as it can be.
00:36:38.100
And for that, I would recommend that you seek the help of somebody who knows what they're doing.
00:36:43.560
As well as somebody that you can trust is working for you and listening to you.
00:36:48.080
This is why I started my company, Real Estate Agents I Trust, over a decade ago.
00:36:51.960
It's very, very personal to me that you have a great experience with your real estate agent.
00:37:00.900
I've had good experiences and everything in between.
00:37:05.420
So we would like to introduce you to the top sellers in your area.
00:37:09.040
The ones that we have vetted six ways to Sunday.
00:37:13.140
For us to represent you and pass their name on to you.
00:37:19.560
It is a really hard, rigorous process that we put these people through to make sure that they're somebody that you can trust.
00:37:37.120
You're listening to the swinging sounds of Glenn Beck.
00:37:43.540
If you own a home, you may want to protect that.
00:37:57.320
You may want to make sure that it's not stolen by thieves.
00:38:00.380
And, you know, that's a question you probably don't think about all that often.
00:38:07.040
Like you put a you make sure you lock your doors.
00:38:09.040
Probably you put an alarm on your house to protect it.
00:38:12.360
But home title theft is something that's totally different than that.
00:38:15.700
And like these are cyber thieves stealing the equity in your home.
00:38:19.940
They basically make it look like you've sold your home to them.
00:38:25.460
And, you know, the people looking at the paperwork.
00:38:26.860
They're not checking the stuff like they don't know whether the money's exchanged.
00:38:33.340
And all of a sudden it looks like they own their home.
00:38:35.020
And then they go to a bank and say, hey, I'm going to borrow some money.
00:38:39.760
It's you who are you're just basically left to unwind this entire legal process.
00:38:44.440
And it is a nightmare for people who have gone through it.
00:38:48.080
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are on the line here.
00:38:55.300
If you use the promo code Blaze, they're going to send you a complete scan of your home's title
00:38:59.160
and your first 30 days of triple lock protection for free.
00:39:03.420
So you get a month just to make sure that you're protected and you're going to,
00:39:08.520
And then going forward, continue with HomeTitleLock.com.
00:39:11.720
Protect your home because it's your biggest investment.
00:39:55.180
But this is sort of a related question to what I'm bringing up.
00:40:24.940
This is the first ever in our entire existence second man.
00:40:48.740
They're trying to say, well, I mean, Jen Psaki said he was redefining masculinity.
00:40:54.140
I do feel like the old school version of masculinity, you're not knocking up your nanny.
00:41:02.820
However, he is very much out there now talking about Roe versus Wade.
00:41:07.160
And Ben Shapiro, I've got to give credit for this.
00:41:09.680
He says, because he's talking about how much he...
00:41:14.920
And Ben correctly points out, very few Americans have more personal stake in the abortion issue
00:41:25.400
You'd think that that would make it frowned upon, right?
00:41:30.520
The fact that this guy has gone through this and done this, he shouldn't be the spokesperson
00:41:39.080
I knocked up my nanny during an affair, and then she had an abortion, so I didn't have to
00:41:56.680
We've been talking about her for years and years and years and years and years.
00:42:03.760
So that's why we don't pay any attention to him, because he's white.
00:42:10.420
That's why nobody in the conservative movement knows anything about him or would dare say anything
00:42:17.520
We're just against different colors, skin colors.
00:42:27.720
Unless it's Hillary Clinton, somebody who is very vocal, Michelle Obama, you don't pay
00:42:47.760
This is a completely nondescript zilch of a person.
00:42:59.940
They're currently running all of our lives and we don't know any of them.
00:43:15.100
I want to talk to you a little bit about Jace Medical.
00:43:26.580
We're closer to a potential war with countries like Russia and China, even North Korea.
00:43:31.040
And there's a brand new report out that says President Biden or whoever's signing for him
00:43:35.100
these days just signed off on a classified plan that's moving our nuclear strategy to
00:43:44.960
There is something you can do that will ensure you and your loved ones have medication on
00:43:51.320
It's called the Jace Case and it is a personalized emergency kit that contains essential antibiotics
00:43:57.020
and medications that treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections.
00:44:00.760
It provides five life-saving antibiotics for emergency use.
00:44:04.040
You just fill out a simple form online and you can have it just in case you need it.
00:44:08.480

Enter the promo code BECK at checkout for a discount on your order.
00:44:22.320
Make sure your family is prepared and that you can take care of them in times of need.
00:44:38.480
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and entertainment.
00:45:13.540
All right, we've got a few things that we are dealing with today.
00:45:19.580
If you would like to donate to help out, go to mercuryone.org.
00:45:26.140
We had two very full helos that landed in Asheville yesterday.
00:45:36.040
So, if you'd like to help out, you can do it at mercuryone.org.
00:45:38.840
FEMA doesn't appear to be in any hurry to get there.
00:45:42.360
Maybe it's because their new number one goal is equity.
00:46:00.360
He confronted one of the UN leaders about their partnership with Google.
00:46:08.100
You know, they want to make sure that we have a free press.
00:46:10.980
But, you know, we've got to partner with Google to make sure some of those crazies don't get up there in the search results.
00:46:17.540
Again, what's happening with the UN, people are really not talking about, and they should be.
00:46:25.420
The pact for the future is going to affect every area of your life.
00:46:34.700
You're never going to regret planning for emergency situations for yourself and your family,
00:46:39.720
especially when those emergency situations are actually happening.
00:46:44.580
Believe me, you do not want to be caught flat-footed when the you-know-what hits the fan.
00:46:53.060
Good news is, being prepared is super easy with my Patriot Supply.
00:46:57.260
You can get a four-week emergency food kit right now.

00:47:19.600
I don't intend waiting for FEMA because they're not coming.
00:47:23.100
Right now, to help out the victims of Hurricane Helene,
00:47:26.460
My Patriot Supply is donating 10% of all of its proceeds to Mercury One for the Hurricane Relief Fund.

00:48:05.300
How many times in your life have you just heard,
00:48:14.520
And I never watched Seinfeld growing up outside of the country, so it's ironic.
00:48:19.940
It's some of the meanest people you've ever seen.
00:48:23.300
So, anyway, Alex, I know you've been covering Pact for the Future.
00:48:28.820
And you were there at the UN, and you've talked to some of the leaders on this.
00:48:37.280
First, explain what it is to people that don't know and why it's so important.
00:48:42.200
Well, the Pact for the Future, essentially, Glenn, is an effort to radically transform the United Nations.
00:48:50.740
I think better than the word transform would be to use the word empower.
00:48:54.920
Because when the UN was started, at least the marketing job was,
00:48:59.920
You know, we're not trying to build a world government.
00:49:03.240
This is just so countries don't fight each other.
00:49:05.560
As you read the Pact for the Future, you'll see the UN now believes that it should be involved in education,
00:49:11.820
the environment, law, business, economics, culture, sports, religion, you name it.
00:49:18.000
And they actually marketed this internally, and they had the posters everywhere.
00:49:26.140
And as Antonio Guterres said, the socialist secretary general,
00:49:29.400
and they actually put it in these big speech bubbles and put stickers and posters all over the place.
00:49:33.800
They said, we can't build a future for our grandchildren with a system built for our grandparents.
00:49:41.560
Depending on who you talk to, I reached out to a lot of different experts to get their thoughts on
00:49:48.800
And they range from, you know, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Mike McCall telling me
00:49:53.720
it's a really bad idea, but it's non-binding, to Professor of International Law Francis Boyle
00:49:59.080
at the University of Illinois, one of the top experts in international law in the world,
00:50:02.620
saying, no, this is actually a treaty, even though Biden is pretending like it's not.
00:50:07.580
And it's going to have very serious legal implications for all the nations of the world.
00:50:11.900
So it's a big deal, no matter how you slice it, Glenn.
00:50:14.320
They want to assume all these emergency powers.
00:50:16.920
They want power to silence speech that they disagree with.
00:50:20.040
They want power to educate your children in their worldview.
00:50:25.020
So I saw the video of you trying to interview the head of the, what is she, communications?
00:50:40.760
She is, you were trying to talk to her because she made a deal with Google, right?
00:50:52.400
She went to the World Economic Forum side event back in 2022 on sustainable development
00:50:57.260
and bragged to her globalist buddies that, hey, we now have a partnership with Google.
00:51:04.280
She said, when we Googled climate change, we realized there was distorted information.
00:51:08.460
And it's funny she said that because for many years, my articles covering the UN's climate
00:51:12.960
summits, interviewing a lot of the leading climate experts in the world, were at the
00:51:17.200
Same thing with sustainable development, et cetera.
00:51:20.940
So she was very proud that they had formed a partnership now with Google to put the UN's
00:51:28.420
And I just wanted to ask her about the formula.
00:51:30.700
How do you guys decide what's good and what's bad?
00:51:33.380
How do you decide what should be at the top when people search?
00:51:37.620
And as you saw in the video, she was not interested in talking at all.
00:51:46.460
Weren't you at a freedom of the press kind of event trying to talk to her, too?
00:51:55.280
She had just finished a panel discussion on the importance of freedom of the press.
00:52:04.260
And they were moaning about how all these citizen journalists now are undermining the credibility
00:52:11.020
We need more government subsidies for the press to be free.
00:52:15.260
And I thought, well, yes, this is a free press event.
00:52:17.300
Certainly, she's going to want to talk to the press.
00:52:21.020
She was interested to talk with other members of the press.
00:52:24.380
I went up to her and asked her, hey, could you tell us about how you guys determine what
00:52:27.980
should be and should not be on the front page of Google?
00:52:31.580
She said, well, I don't recognize you, and so I can't talk.
00:52:35.180
And then her staff, I guess they were, swooped in and called me away.
00:52:40.760
And then other members of the press just went right up to her.
00:52:43.240
And she put on a big smile and talked to them, told them anything they wanted to know.
00:52:46.780
So I think there were several deceptions there.
00:52:50.080
First of all, pretending like she didn't recognize who we were.
00:52:52.360
Her office had to be involved in accrediting all of us to be surrounded by world leaders.
00:52:56.320
Second of all, the idea that you can only talk to journalists who you recognize is ludicrous.
00:53:02.960
So she just didn't want to talk about that issue with people who weren't drinking the Kool-Aid.
00:53:11.060
And let me tell you, these are the sources in order.
00:53:13.800
The United Nations, NASA, NASA, the effects, the United Nations, you go down, then it's the IPC, IPCC, then it's Wikipedia, then it's the United Nations, then it's the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, then the World Bank, then the World Health Organization, and you're on to page two.
00:53:54.920
They are burying those of us who ask critical questions, who aren't necessarily buying into the narrative, and they're promoting their propaganda, even in the political realm.
00:54:04.660
Donald Trump was just complaining about this the other day.
00:54:06.600
I mean, Google seems to have messed with its algorithm in a way where now pro-Kamala Harris stories come up and pro-Trump stories or even neutral stories get buried.
00:54:17.240
So, tell me, how is the disparity so great between the, this means nothing, to, no, it's going to mean an awful lot?
00:54:29.500
Where do you land, and why is it that we don't really know?
00:54:39.240
You would think that they would want this to be clear, Glenn, but I think the reality is they don't want it to be clear, because as long as there's this haze of confusion around it, nobody can kind of pin down exactly what's wrong with it.
00:54:50.420
And I think one of the big problems that they have is our Constitution.
00:54:53.740
Our Constitution has a specific method for ratifying treaties.
00:54:58.200
They have to be subject to the advice and the consent of the Senate, and they have to get two-thirds of the senators.
00:55:03.840
So, even all the Democrats combined and the RINOs, it's very difficult to get stuff like that ratified in the U.S. Senate.
00:55:10.460
So, I saw this during the Obama administration.
00:55:12.540
I was in Paris for the U.N. climate negotiations, and Barack Obama's running around being treated like some sort of superstar, some celebrity,
00:55:20.400
because he promised to slash American CO2 emissions by about a third over the next years.
00:55:25.660
And they were very strategic about how they referred to this document.
00:55:32.120
And so, you had people like Senator James Inhofe come in and say, hey, you guys can all go home.
00:55:41.580
But Obama said, no, no, this is an executive agreement.
00:55:45.740
It turns out there's no such thing as an executive agreement.
00:55:48.260
And yet, Barack Obama came back to Washington, D.C., and right away, the EPA starts putting out new mandates, shutting down power plants, Department of Transportation.
00:55:57.460
They're putting in new emission standards for the vehicles.
00:56:00.880
So, they're treating them as if they were binding documents, but they're not submitting them to the Senate for ratification.
00:56:06.940
And I guarantee you, that is a deliberate fraud on the American taxpayers, just like they did with the International Pandemic Accord.
00:56:14.580
Originally, they called it International Pandemic Treaty, but they knew it wasn't going to get through the U.S. Senate, so it magically morphed into an accord.
00:56:22.880
How many more parts need to be assembled before you think we could truly lose our sovereignty?
00:56:35.280
One of the organizations that's been instrumental in bringing this about, and they've got a front-row seat to the whole process, and they've been helping it, is the Council on Foreign Relations.
00:56:45.440
And back in the 1970s, they published a piece by Richard Gardner, who at the time, I believe, was the Assistant Secretary of State for something.
00:56:53.320
And he explained in there how they're going to build what he described as the House of World Order.
00:56:58.100
And he said, we're not going to do the old-fashioned frontal assault.
00:57:00.420
That's not going to work anymore in today's day and age.
00:57:02.620
I mean, you tell Americans, hey, you're losing a world government.
00:57:05.660
They're going to be mad, and they've got 400 million guns.
00:57:08.740
So he said, we've got to erode sovereignty piece by piece.
00:57:14.460
They'll take a little bit of our sovereignty on the climate issue.
00:57:16.880
Then UNESCO will come up with some new ideas on education.
00:57:20.140
Then the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights will be used as a bludgeon to get us to change our laws on this.
00:57:26.160
Then they'll pass a UN Convention on the Rights of the Child that says we have to change our child welfare laws.
00:57:31.580
And little bit by little bit, more and more policy areas get usurped at the international level.
00:57:37.240
Well, that's why I asked you how many more pieces need – because they're not –
00:57:43.900
Every time I think of the progressives, I think of that old Johnny Cash song.
00:57:48.440
I don't know if you remember it, but One Piece at a Time.
00:57:51.620
And it's about a guy who built a Cadillac working at GM and stealing parts one piece at a time.
00:57:59.520
And I think that's what they've done for the last hundred years.
00:58:05.620
They've done little piece, little piece, little piece.
00:58:09.380
You know, it's like the recovery – what was it?
00:58:12.620
The first big bill, the $7 trillion bill or whatever it was that happened right under Biden at the very beginning had all of the stuff on the border in it.
00:58:23.780
That's where all this money is coming from to put people up.
00:58:30.160
You look at it, you read it, and you're like, I don't even know what that means.
00:58:36.820
Yeah, and one of the things that is most troubling about this pact for the future, Glenn, is it has the seeds in it for exactly the type of power grab that we're discussing here.
00:58:45.920
So let me give you a little background before I get into what's actually in the pact.
00:58:49.280
So in early 2023 – and I wrote a major article about this –
00:58:53.880
the Secretary General was putting out a series of what they called policy briefs.
00:59:00.280
And it was about all these ideas that the Secretary General had for strengthening and improving the United Nations.
00:59:11.140
But the one that really caught my attention – I said, this is huge.
00:59:14.760
I've got to write about it right this moment – involved emergencies.
00:59:21.140
And I want to quote from this document because it says that in the event that the Secretary General declares a global emergency,
00:59:27.740
it says right here, all the stakeholders, all institutions, governments, international institutions, the private sector, development banks, religious organizations,
00:59:37.620
all will have to recognize – and I'm quoting here – the primary role of intergovernmental organs that would be U.N. agencies in decision-making.
00:59:47.220
And so they're saying if the Secretary General declares an emergency under this policy brief,
00:59:52.280
then everybody in the world, all institutions, are going to have to recognize the U.N. as the main decision-maker.
01:00:09.600
And so here's what they got in the Pact for the Future, which is directly related to that.
01:00:15.500
There's 56 actions, so I think they buried it at the end very strategically.
01:00:24.100
we recognize the need for a more coherent, cooperative, coordinated, and multidimensional international response to complex global shocks
01:00:31.800
and the central role of the United Nations in this regard.
01:00:36.080
And it calls on the Secretary General to come up with ways to strengthen the U.N. system response to complex global shocks.
01:00:42.920
And so imagine for a moment, Glenn, that we maybe see another pandemic, maybe a war breaks out,
01:00:48.720
maybe there's an economic crisis, a dollar crisis, whatever.
01:00:52.120
And the Secretary General says, well, this is a complex global shock.
01:01:00.340
And he says, no, no, go look in the Pact for the Future.
01:01:02.920
All 193 member states of the United Nations agreed by consensus that the U.N. needs to play the central role in this regard.
01:01:11.440
So I'm just doing what the member states told me.
01:01:13.860
And, you know, if you don't like it, take it up with the member states.
01:01:20.060
And so now Secretary General Guterres can just say, hey, I have a mandate to do this.
01:01:24.140
I'm just obeying my bosses, the member states of the U.N.
01:01:30.520
Back in just a second with Alex Newman, journalist, Liberty Sentinel Media CEO,
01:01:35.920
also the author of Indoctrinating Our Children to Death.
01:01:39.320
We're talking about the Pact of the Future back in 60 seconds.
01:01:42.120
Make no mistake, the left is on attack when it comes to the issue of abortion.
01:01:46.760
They're not just interested in protecting the right to murder babies.
01:01:51.860
They're doing their best to take away even the right to protest the evil things they're standing up for.
01:01:57.540
I am proud to partner with the country's largest pro-life organization, maybe the largest in the world.
01:02:03.940
They're leading the charge to put an end to abortion every day.
01:02:07.340
They sponsor free ultrasounds for women as well as providing help for them for up to two years after the baby is born.
01:02:14.760
They don't just advocate for the baby's life and then forget about them once they're born.
01:02:22.780
When a mom sees her unborn child on that monitor, she hears the heartbeat.
01:02:26.400
She's twice as likely to consider choosing life for her baby.
01:02:29.720
But many of them then say, but I don't have any support mechanism.
01:03:01.000
So, Alex, you know, there's one thing that I read, I don't know, about a year ago or so from the World Economic Forum.
01:03:09.000
And they were talking about disinformation and misinformation, malinformation.
01:03:12.160
And they said if there is an emergency, for example, an economic crisis, the central banks will start to move.
01:03:24.860
But if there are voices that disagree with the moves of the central banks, they will need to be silenced as they will cause even more damage to happen to the economy.
01:03:36.740
And I immediately thought, I'm not going to agree with anything the central bank is saying they're going to do.
01:03:44.280
They're going to, you know, advocate for, you know, a new digital Fed bank currency.
01:03:51.380
That's the kind of thing that happens in emergencies with things like this agreement with the United Nations.
01:04:04.180
And this Pact for the Future formalizes all that, Glenn.
01:04:06.760
And I encourage people to think back just a few years, right?
01:04:09.300
We had the World Health Organization spreading vicious disinformation all over the world.
01:04:13.760
They were telling people that COVID was not transmissible between people.
01:04:16.920
They were saying it had absolutely nothing to do with a laboratory in Wuhan.
01:04:24.840
And yet we had a massive censorship apparatus kick into gear.
01:04:29.120
We had the CEO of YouTube, Susan Wojcicki, who passed away recently, rest in peace, go on CNN and say anything that goes against World Health Organization recommendations, we're going to remove.
01:04:40.560
And this is exactly what they had prepared for.
01:04:42.420
If you look at event 201, funded by Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, hosted at Johns Hopkins, they did a whole exercise where they plotted, how are we going to silence everyone who disagrees with us during this crisis?
01:04:57.060
We've got to shut down the spread of misinformation on social media.
01:05:00.380
And as you said, they're doing it now in preparation for a cyber pandemic.
01:05:04.860
They're doing it now to prepare for a run on the banks.
01:05:10.460
When you read the Pact for the Future, they actually tacked on two additional agreements, including the Global Digital Compact.
01:05:16.200
They have a big section in there, Objective 3, that deals with what they call information integrity.
01:05:21.480
And this commits the U.N., all of the U.N.'s agencies and all of the U.N.'s member governments to waging total war on what they call misinformation, disinformation, and also hate speech, which, for those who don't know, that was a term introduced into the U.N. lexicon by the mass murdering dictatorship in the Soviet Union.
01:05:40.440
So you get a sense of where this is coming from.
01:05:43.220
Alex Newman, thank you for all of your hard work.
01:05:45.440
I think you're one of the real, true, honest journalists out there, and I really appreciate it.
01:05:50.280
Alex Newman, Liberty Sentinel Media CEO, also author of Indoctrinating Our Children to Death, a must-read book.
01:06:03.780
Our dogs are in our lives for a comparatively short amount of time.
01:06:09.060
They come along when you don't know how much you're going to love them and want them.
01:06:15.960
And they always leave a long time before you've run out of love to give them.
01:06:20.100
So while we're here, while you have them, why not do everything you can to make sure that your dog is healthy and happy?
01:06:28.020
But one of the best is giving them rough greens.
01:06:33.580
It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black.
01:06:36.800
You sprinkle it on the dog's food, and it contains all of the good stuff your dog needs, things like probiotics, antioxidants.
01:06:46.960
The folks at Rough Greens are so confident that your dog is going to love Rough Greens that they are going to send you the first trial bag for free.
01:06:56.160
Go to roughgreens, R-U-F-F-Greens dot com slash Beck.
01:07:00.760
They'll give you your first trial bag for free.
01:07:09.740
And then watch the difference in your dog over the months.
01:07:13.420
That's 833-GLEN-33, 833-GLEN-33, roughgreens.com slash Beck.
01:07:20.160
Watch it live on BlazeTV, blazetv.com slash Glenn.
01:07:51.680
I mean, I can't stand Tim Wall, so you can do it if you want.
01:08:02.920
And then we'll be watching and making notes and then come back and tell you exactly how we feel.
01:08:17.040
Because today is five weeks until the election.
01:08:25.540
We're in, you know, the whole October surprise thing that you say?
01:08:45.820
You do everything you can to get every last vote.
01:08:51.720
I ask again, and you asked, you asked this question, you mentioned this question yesterday
01:08:55.420
as to why you were not worried about the longshoremen strike as much as you think you should be.
01:09:02.620
The caveat is I don't think we're dealing with the way politicians and, you know, governments
01:09:17.660
You have, number one, a situation with longshoremen going on strike.
01:09:21.200
As you mentioned today, you went through the timeline of this in hour one.
01:09:25.080
If you didn't hear that, go back and listen to it.
01:09:30.220
You know, you might want to go to the store and get some extra stuff.
01:09:34.180
But, starting next week and by week three and definitely by week four, at week four, we're
01:09:48.180
And yet, somehow, this strike is going forward despite the fact that the president of the
01:09:56.000
United States, a man even in background reporting, does want Kamala Harris to win.
01:10:00.820
It's not like he's, like, trying to sink her presidency.
01:10:04.180
Even though he's seemingly angry because she's blowing him off all the time.
01:10:11.740
Why isn't he using all of his power to make sure this doesn't happen?
01:10:16.440
Because, not because he cares about the longshoremen or not because he cares about the U.S. economy.
01:10:22.820
But because he cares about the future of the power that he's worked so hard and she's worked
01:10:37.600
He's not getting involved because the president should not get involved in union fights until
01:10:54.160
But that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life.
01:11:01.220
And he stopped the train strike before the train strike happened.
01:11:08.520
All he's done is talk about his accomplishments with labor.
01:11:22.080
I mean, I have my answer, and my answer is probably the answer that everybody else is
01:11:47.720
The goal is to cripple the United States and to create a polycrisis.
01:11:59.980
So, let's just say it's a close election, okay, and there's arguments back and forth after
01:12:10.440
Which, it would be shocking if there wasn't that situation.
01:12:21.680
You make it worse by taking the economy and making the economy even more unstable, okay?
01:12:31.240
Because, look, if those who believe with good reason that this government is not for an America
01:12:45.640
the way we know it, they have to give it the final blow to put it out to be able to restart
01:12:55.820
And you can't do that without, with just one crisis.
01:13:07.040
You need a financial crisis, a pandemic crisis, and an election crisis.
01:13:18.500
But, and I think, because this adds to another question that I have, it's on the same front.
01:13:24.440
You have this hurricane that's going through all of these swing states.
01:13:28.440
You have Georgia, North Carolina, and, I mean, Florida, there's even been close polling in
01:13:35.440
You have all this stuff going on in these really important states, and they seem to be completely
01:13:44.580
unconcerned to even giving the appearance that they're doing a good job.
01:13:49.340
I mean, they're not even doing the press conferences in front of the rows and rows of trucks.
01:13:53.720
Today, they're out there, I guess, a little bit.
01:13:55.060
But, I mean, it's been a pretty bad response, even just, I'm not at all surprised they would
01:14:02.420
be bad at doing this, because they're completely incompetent.
01:14:04.740
If that's what it was, I would not be surprised.
01:14:06.920
But it's not even an effort to tell the story that they're doing a good job.
01:14:12.420
Again, if you want the, because the polycrisis thing, and I know you're down this road, and
01:14:20.520
But, like, wouldn't that be best done after you had power?
01:14:26.180
You are about to blow the power that you have, just flush it down the toilet if you lose this
01:14:32.340
election, and give power to the man you call, you know, Orange Hitler.
01:14:37.280
Well, yes, if it's clear, if it's a clear victory.
01:14:47.060
But, you know, you also, you know, all you need it to be is close.
01:14:53.720
And it'll be, you know, Biden wins the popular vote and Trump wins 270.
01:15:01.400
You know, they're going to say, no, see, that's why we have to get rid of the electoral
01:15:04.520
college, it'll be, it'll be a crap storm, okay, no matter what happens.
01:15:10.400
That's not the way I've usually heard that term utilized.
01:15:44.400
Scenario number two is they actually believe this stuff.
01:15:53.680
If you go to the FEMA website, FEMA is no longer what we thought it was.
01:16:00.500
We told you at the time when they were changing all this, warning, they're changing everything.
01:16:06.480
It's no longer really a federal emergency management.
01:16:11.160
They're going to manage prior to and then manage our problems, okay?
01:16:17.020
So, here, according to their own website, there are now three goals for FEMA.
01:16:25.320
What do you think FEMA's number one goal has always been?
01:16:36.060
Goal number one is to instill equity as a foundation of emergency management.
01:16:42.680
Now, so, in other words, if this were a traditionally oppressed group, which I think Appalachia could easily qualify that.
01:17:13.340
Goal number two, lead a whole community in climate resilience.
01:17:20.160
They're on television saying this is all climate control.
01:17:26.540
And they passed their multi-trillion dollar climate bill that they called the Inflation Reduction Act.
01:17:31.800
So, out of the three goals, they're accomplishing number one and number two by not acting.
01:17:38.380
Number three, their goal is to promote and sustain a ready FEMA and prepared nation.
01:17:50.460
To promote and sustain a ready FEMA and prepared action.
01:18:03.820
Goal number two, lead the community in climate resilience.
01:18:15.700
FEMA will come in as everything is being rebuilt and say, no, no, no, you can't build it that way.
01:18:34.720
So, now, perhaps they actually believe in that mission.
01:18:40.660
This isn't helping a community that has been historically oppressed.
01:18:51.320
We're going to do our job, but it's climate resilience.
01:18:59.720
And the third reason is, we're here to promote those two things and prepare the nation for those two things.
01:19:09.920
I mean, that logically, without any ill will towards anyone, I don't have to assume, I can assume the best of them and make this case.
01:19:25.280
That's why they're not responding in the traditional way, because that's not what they do anymore.
01:19:36.620
Understand, your tax dollars will go to build the resilience after.
01:19:43.520
This is like, you've been paying your mortgage on your house, and the bank says, by the way, we're no longer doing that anymore.
01:19:53.720
You know, you still have to keep paying the mortgage, but you're out of that house.
01:19:59.700
So, you pay for that house, and here's your apartment, and you have to pay for that, too.
01:20:07.480
They have told you, your taxes are going for emergencies.
01:20:15.060
They're not responding to it, because they've changed the game.
01:20:18.520
I mean, in some ways, too, this appears to be their backhanded way of implementing many of the policies they've wanted for a long time.
01:20:33.880
For example, it's really hard to sell people on, let's say, reparations.
01:20:41.120
Kamala Harris is running away from her past positions on it.
01:20:44.480
One other thing, Stu, if you have a community without water, and you have no food, and there's no infrastructure, how do you think those elections are going to run in those states?
01:20:57.640
How do you think those people even show up to cast a vote?
01:21:08.740
You've just taken a huge swath of Donald Trump's voters and made it pretty difficult for them to go vote.
01:21:17.020
You think FEMA is going to go out there and set up voting booths?
01:21:24.640
What would it take for you to be able to sit back and heave a sigh of relief, knowing your financial house is in order and you're prepared for the best of your future?
01:21:35.880
I think we should all learn FEMA and the United States government is not going to save you.
01:21:50.000
We have to save our values, our families, and each other.
01:21:55.280
So if you are behind the eight ball, would you please call American Financing?
01:22:00.040

01:22:16.840
But also, they are still making mortgages and loans and everything that they've always traditionally done.
01:22:25.320
This audience, I'm also told, is in very good financial health.
01:22:33.880
Thank you for preparing and being just who you are.

Hey, I am so happy to have First Liberty join us as a sponsor.
01:24:52.340
These guys, Stu and I were just talking about them.
01:24:56.360
When you hear the left talk about reforming the Supreme Court, you need to understand that's a code for packing the court.
01:25:04.240
Right now, if we unite our voices, if we take action together, we can put a stop to this.
01:25:09.680
The future of the court, of preserving an independent judiciary, and our Constitution literally in our hands.
01:25:20.420
That's why we're joining First Liberty, taking action, and we need you to join us.
01:25:26.100
With a million patriots like us standing for the Supreme Court, we could safeguard the independence of our courts like the founders intended.
01:25:43.260
Learn how you can help stop the radical left's takeover of the Supreme Court.
01:25:50.940
This is a real threat that if they control the White House and the Senate, they will do it.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:27:09.900
Hello America and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:27:26.060
I was talking for seven minutes and you did not answer.
01:27:41.320
We're going to talk to you about the J.D. Vance debate.
01:28:36.940
That's the best impression I have heard of Tim Walls.
01:28:41.060
It's actually been in development for a while since I'm really thinking about it.
01:28:49.120
I mean, if all those phrases came out of his mouth tonight, would you know the difference?
01:28:57.580
We may have a very special guest after tonight's debate on TV.
01:29:04.140
Tim Walls may have to stand by and come on the program tonight, so you don't want to miss that.
01:29:15.220
Imagine you're having a conversation with somebody, you know, and you actually, you know, bring up the phone company you're with because you're proud of partnering with them.
01:29:28.680
Since I started partnering with Patriot Mobile, I find myself bringing them up in conversation all the time because it is the easiest way to, A, save money.
01:29:37.200
B, still have the great phone coverage that you already have and support our country.
01:29:46.620
They don't send your their money in to aid the destruction of America.
01:29:50.520
They actually are helping fight for the right things in America.
01:29:55.700
Right now, when you make the switch to Patriot Mobile, you're going to get a whole month for free.
01:30:00.140
They're America's only Christian conservative mobile phone company, and their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms.
01:30:13.460
You'll get a free month of service if you sign up today.
01:30:23.900
There's not a chance that it goes poorly tonight, is there?
01:30:30.740
Because Walls doesn't seem to bring anything to the table.
01:30:33.640
As you may be able to tell, he is uniquely grating to me.
01:30:42.840
When I was doing that impression, I just pull up the Google images of Tim Walls.
01:30:48.180
Because as soon as I see his face, and him trying to be this relatable dad character, it's so irritating.
01:31:01.900
I feel like people don't, they're not seeing what I'm seeing or something.
01:31:22.220
Kamala Harris is awful, and she does a lot of irritating things, and she'll be a terrible president.
01:31:28.400
He's like, just so much more irritating and annoying to me.
01:31:34.620
Like, I can't understand how anyone can like him.
01:31:41.780
It's just him trapped in a room with Tim Walls and Andrew Cuomo.
01:31:52.280
But I don't know why people are like, oh, well, he's going to be very relatable.
01:32:01.560
Because if they do, they should all be shot off the planet into the sun.
01:32:15.300
This would be so fun if the rest of America was like, oh, yeah.
01:32:25.740
And I do think that there is a very low hurdle that has been set for J.D. Vance tonight.
01:32:32.240
Everyone seems to think he's the worst person in the world, and he only says strange things.
01:32:41.140
He's just like, I think he does a pretty good job.
01:32:48.340
He doesn't take any crap without getting angry.
01:32:56.860
But it is one of those things where, luckily, I don't have to do 12 hours of live coverage tonight.
01:33:19.680
He, Vance, has a real opportunity to overshoot his expectations tonight.
01:33:27.700
I mean, he could say something terrible and blow it.
01:33:30.380
But he also, if he's just normal, which I think he is, I mean, what story is more normal?
01:33:36.860
A guy who comes out and is lying about every aspect of his life since it started?
01:33:53.100
I just want to talk to him about Tiananmen Square.
01:35:31.980
His entire run as the vice presidential nominee is him doing stuff like that.
01:35:42.400
And I have the answer as to whether you're hosting the coverage tonight.
01:35:58.920
Due to recent data breaches, about 75% of all Americans have had their social security numbers exposed.
01:36:04.760
That's a lot of personal information just waiting for somebody to grab it.
01:36:09.700
Would you even know what to do if somebody grabbed your identity?
01:36:16.420
There are a lot of things you can do to protect yourself.
01:36:19.060
But if you want comprehensive identity protection from criminals, not to mention real peace of mind, what you need is to get LifeLock.
01:36:26.560

01:36:44.740
Companies, a company like LifeLock, can track hundreds of millions of data points per second to detect any kind of threat.
01:36:59.500
Anyway, they have professional U.S.-based restoration specialists.
01:37:02.900

01:37:32.900
I, I, I, I, this is usually when we would just drop the mic and walk off stage.
01:37:48.020
Uh, Donald Trump leads Pennsylvania now by just over two points.
01:37:56.180
Trafalgar showed Trump leading Harris in Pennsylvania, 47.5 to 45.3.
01:38:04.080
So it puts him in a virtual tie, but it's nice to see him on top.
01:38:09.340
Uh, there's a couple of other stories about him.
01:38:21.740
Tim Walls talks to WeRateDogs with RescueDogsScout.
01:38:49.080
No, I, I, I was, I was, I was, I was killed Osama, I was in Pakistan.
01:39:12.860
He said, politics can sometimes bring out the worst in people, but I believe dogs can bring
01:39:24.960
I'm really not going to be able to do this show tonight.
01:39:31.500
So Americans seem to be more polarized than ever these days, but loving dogs seems to be
01:39:45.900
I said, uh, I said, I think, I do think they bring out the best in us.
01:39:51.340
I think our politics can sometimes bring out the worst.
01:39:53.700
I see it as a dog park that rarely will people talk politics.
01:39:58.480
They talk dogs and they talk about the weather.
01:40:00.580
They talk about how lucky we are to be here and, uh, and, uh, think that that's the greatest
01:40:40.100
I try not to step in purple, but it's usually on my shoes.
01:41:00.840
I don't even have dog and I keep stepping in purple.
01:41:49.640
I mean, I, how do you, how, how is this guy on this ticket?
01:42:12.280
Like, is it possible that this is what we have in this country?
01:42:16.520
That we're just throwing up this guy who's, says he's a football coach and is stepping in poo poo.
01:42:22.580
Those are like his main, his main qualifications to be vice president of the United States.
01:42:29.180
Well, he also carried a gun in war and he went to Tiananmen Square.
01:42:38.760
I, I just, I don't even know what to do other than just to mock it.
01:42:45.860
We're about, I mean, this debate tonight is a joke.
01:42:48.520
You have one guy who's, who's done what with his life?
01:42:52.060
Like this, this, none of them have done anything.
01:42:56.880
Everything he's told us about his life has been a lie.
01:42:59.700
Even the, the, the process that, that created his daughter, they lied about.
01:43:09.460
Even that foundational thing in their family, they lied about.
01:43:13.180
He's lied about everything and he's accomplished what?
01:43:30.420
Became a venture capitalist, wrote a bestselling book, had a movie created, became a U.S.
01:43:37.220
That's an American story that you'd make a movie out of.
01:43:42.840
They did make, I'd like to remind you, they did make a movie.
01:43:48.440
If you haven't seen Hillbilly Elegy, it is, it's unbelievable.
01:43:55.860
I mean, you watch that and you think, I, I wish I had a kid like that.
01:44:02.380
I wish I had a grandparent like his grandmother.
01:44:27.040
It tells you everything you need to know about him.
01:44:31.720
It is, honestly, you, you watch it and the, the, the childhood this kid had was terrible.
01:44:47.440
And then, and then finally his grandmother takes him away from his mother, who's just out of control.
01:45:05.020
And she finally looks at him and just balls him out as, you know, a 10 or 12 year old and says, you have a chance to get out of this.
01:45:14.000
You're smart enough, but I'm beginning to question if you are, you apply yourself and get out of here.
01:45:26.200
And as he's in Yale, or as he's getting his, uh, his interview to intern for some law firm, uh, his mom is in the hospital.
01:45:40.000
I can't remember exactly, but she's in the hospital and he's having to juggle this whole thing.
01:45:44.580
His girlfriend, who's now his wife, he didn't tell her about his family.
01:45:53.220
And his wife steps up is now his girlfriend in the movie.
01:45:58.360
They're going to college, uh, at the same time.
01:46:01.000
And, and she like, what, why are you just going away?
01:46:17.720
It is somebody who had every disadvantage, every disadvantage except his color, but he grew up without a dad.
01:46:29.700
He grew up in abusive household with alcoholism everywhere.
01:46:37.840
The only mentor he had was his grandmother and his grandmother, as you said, a little rough around the edges.
01:46:50.660
And he's married to the daughter of immigrants as well.
01:46:56.480
That's why he, that's why he knows they're eating those dogs.
01:46:59.420
Can you imagine, like, they've tried to pin him as an anti-immigrant guy.
01:47:10.320
Hillbilly Elegy, if you haven't seen it, it is really worth your time.
01:47:13.680
I thought it would be good, but, uh, it's great.
01:47:26.200
And I crunch, I crunch, I crunch, and I've got it so much fun.
01:47:31.720
And my head gets a lot of slippery on the butter.
01:47:49.460
I'm going to need, I'm going to need some painkillers for just for the muscles in my stomach.
01:47:56.200
Anyway, uh, uh, I want to talk to you about, uh, relief factor sleep.
01:48:02.000
Um, if you have a hard time sleeping, you know, you're not supposed to know what three
01:48:06.560
o'clock in the morning looks like, you know, or sounds like as you're laying there in bed.
01:48:13.260
If you're suffering from, uh, lost sleep, there is something called Z factor and it comes
01:48:22.600
I am becoming really, really, uh, anti big pharmaceutical.
01:48:27.960
I think we just, we've just, we're poisoning ourself all the time.
01:48:35.000
And there is a, another place that some of these drug companies are going to go.
01:48:39.680
And it's a little warmer than here, but anyway, uh, this is a hundred percent drug free way
01:48:44.680
to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer.
01:48:57.920
Blaze TV's coverage of the VP debate that I may not have a voice for.
01:49:22.480
Uh, I want to remind you about the efforts that Mercury one and so many organizations are,
01:49:28.780
are making, uh, right now, uh, in, uh, just in the, the, the, the,
01:49:41.340
Um, we'll give you some more details on that right now.
01:49:44.660
We're working with, uh, chase medical to see if they can supply some insulin.
01:49:50.420
There's no people who are diabetic have no insulin.
01:49:55.860
Uh, so we're trying to get some meds to them where we landed a couple of helicopters yesterday.
01:50:08.460
if you would like to help out every penny that you donate, we'll go right to this cause.
01:50:23.180
Um, we find the people who are on the ground, uh, and many of them are long-term partners of ours.
01:50:32.460
We look for the people who are on the ground who are actually capable of doing the job and are doing it.
01:50:42.620
If we look for partners and we strengthen our partners, uh, because they're always in need of something.
01:50:50.340
And, uh, then on top of that, we also look for people that, you know, for instance, the insulin, how are you going to get insulin?
01:50:59.100
Well, luckily, maybe we can get Jace to step up.
01:51:07.780
Um, you know, I, I, I want to talk to you a little bit about the debate and what's coming, uh, tonight.
01:51:15.800
Um, because I think, you know, I, I think we're going to, we're going to get a lot of lies.
01:51:26.140
Um, I don't know if anybody's going to correct those lies this time.
01:51:31.780
Um, but Tim Walls is not exactly a truth teller, especially when it comes to his own personal life.
01:51:37.780
Um, but there's a lot of evil that is going on right now.
01:51:47.360
And I don't want to assign evil a party or a person.
01:52:10.920
I've never, I've always intellectually understood evil as an entity.
01:52:16.540
Um, and that when you start giving it power, it just takes more and more.
01:52:30.020
If you have eyes to see and ears to hear, you can see it, that it is just, it all seems
01:52:37.840
It all seems to be moving in the same direction.
01:52:41.560
Uh, and it, it uses the same tactics and it's all about this bloodlust.
01:52:55.860
that this is my body, which is given up for you, which as Christians, we, we mark that
01:53:09.660
That night in the upper room, the night he was betrayed, he took the bread, broke it.
01:53:14.580
And this is my body, which has given up for you.
01:53:18.460
And we renew our covenants with him and invite him into our life.
01:53:25.700
Should be every day, but on Sundays, that's what that is really for.
01:53:35.540
And it marks the ultimate act of, of love and sacrifice.
01:53:39.920
Here's one individual choosing to give his body, his life, give it up so we can have eternal
01:53:56.300
But we are living now in a world where evil exists and has perverted everything.
01:54:19.620
So that's the mantra that we would say on Sundays, this is my body, which has given up for you.
01:54:50.040
But I think we should look at what's behind those words.
01:54:55.280
Because it's no longer, this is my body, which has given up for you.
01:54:59.480
Instead, it's become, this is your body, the kids, the child inside.
01:55:06.760
This is your body, which has given up for me, an innocent life, a child's life, sacrificed
01:55:15.520
at the altar of convenience, the altar of fear, or the altar of self, or the altar of illusion,
01:55:33.760
And I hate to say this to sound like I'm condemning these moms, because I'm not.
01:55:44.860
And I have more compassion because of the work we've been doing with pre-born.
01:56:10.380
Christ offers eternal life through the sacrifice of his body.
01:56:15.240
But Satan demands the sacrifice of other lives for mortal gain.
01:56:21.780
Those who really know what they're doing, those who are going in and look at this as a form
01:56:36.720
It's the whisper of Satan, take this life so you can live more comfortably, more conveniently.
01:56:43.600
You, you, you, you, you, many of the mothers that fall into this trap are not thinking, me, me, me.
01:56:57.740
The question I think we, you know, the Satan, he's asked the same question forever.
01:57:08.980
What are you willing to give up so I can continue to deceive you?
01:57:16.940
The Old Testament, the pagan god Moloch, demanded the blood of children as sacrifice.
01:57:22.880
The people of Israel, warned repeatedly by the Lord, still fell into the trap of abortion.
01:57:30.960
In Leviticus, God commands, you shall not give any of your children to offer them to Moloch
01:57:42.600
Yet, even the most faithful fell into the temptation, offering, you know, their children's lives
01:57:57.280
We have new altars disguised under the banner of choice, of progress, of personal freedom, of convenience.
01:58:09.760
Offer a life and you'll live better, freer, unburdened.
01:58:21.080
But it's something I didn't understand until I actually needed it.
01:58:25.460
Until I really needed a faith that would help me with parameters.
01:58:33.360
I thought they were always constraining, but it's freedom, actually.
01:58:41.740
In the next five weeks, I just, I pray that we will hear the call of the Lord to choose between life and death.
01:59:05.180
He says, I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses.
01:59:09.820
Now choose life so that you and your children may live.
01:59:18.320
Christ chooses death for himself so we can have life.
01:59:23.200
Satan asks us to choose death so that we may cling to the fleeting moments of this world.
01:59:35.120
When you're hearing stuff tonight in the debate, assuming they're going to talk about this,
01:59:44.320
do we bow to the one who gave up his body for our eternal salvation,
01:59:49.200
or do we bow to the one who demands the sacrifice of the most vulnerable so we can live in fleeting comfort?
02:00:18.740
We're told to open our eyes and ears to deception.
02:00:23.080
We're called to remember that true love sacrifices oneself for the good of others.
02:00:57.780
that in the end demands sacrifice but gives nothing in return.
