The Blaze Radio Network On Demand. I love Patriot Mobile. I love Patriot Mobile too. I don't know why people don't do this. I don't know either because I think people just get, you know, you get stuck in the rut of, you know, some company you've been with for a while with your cell phone.

And you don't think about where your money's going. But, I mean, it's going to a lot of times hardcore left-wing causes because these companies spend tens of millions of dollars supporting progressive candidates, progressive causes. And it's your money, right? You're paying it to them and they're paying it to the... It's great thing is. You still have the same great service, you know, using backbones and you have the great service.

However, you're not paying all the extra fees to these companies that they're taking and diverting to causes that you hate. Yeah. It really doesn't make any sense to do it the other way. Patriot Mobile is fantastic. Go to PatriotMobil.com. Switch. They're going to help conservative causes. It's PatriotMobile.com slash Blaze.

Get started today when you use the offer code Blaze. They're going to waive your activation fee for up to two lines. just stop supporting the left wing causes. Patriotmobile.com slash blaze or 1-800, a Patriot for Patriot Mobile. It's worth a couple of minutes to make this switch. It makes a big difference. Glenn, back. My gosh, have you noticed that the press is not concerned at all about this caravan?

I see, this caravan's not going to make it up to the United States. This is just nonsense and why are they talking about it now? Really? So is the caravan a political message or a weapon? The 7,000 strong migrant caravan now appears to be both. We know that this migrant invasion force was organized in Honduras by the leftist political party looking to embarrass the current right-wing government. We know that.

You're not going to hear that on television. You're not going to hear that from the leftist mainstream news. You won't hear it because that hurts their case. They want everybody to look like they're just weak and helpless and children. Making a 2,500 mile march? Wow, it seems pretty strong to me. This entire charade has been one giant political stunt. But the question of my mind is,

Who's paying for this? Moving 7,000 people is incredibly expensive and difficult. What about the people who can't make it to 25 miles or 2,500 miles? What about the people who might have heat stroke, might springle, you know, have an accident, break their leg, spring their ankle? What happens to them? Is there any medical treatment? You would think that the left would be.

really, really, really intent on finding who's providing the water, who's providing the food? How are these people? You're not just going into a town with 7,500 people and everybody going to a restaurant. How are these people eating? Is there no heart on the left? Can somebody tell me, I'm concerned about their health. I'm concerned about their welfare. I'm concerned about their health care.

How do you move 7,000 people and not have people starve? How do you move 7,000 people and not have people need water? Basic sanitary conditions. What is happening? How about the children? How about the babies that are in strollers? Are those strollers built for a 2,500-mile march? shouldn't somebody shouldn't CNN be down there asking the questions raising the money for better strollers

these poor children now who could write this check who is writing the check for all of this well i asked governor abbott about it yesterday in an interview who's funding all this he hinted that the Trump administration was fully aware. Now, my question is, did Mike Pence let the cat out of the bag yesterday from the Oval Office? Mike Pence, our vice president, said, quote, at the president's direction, I spoke to President Hernandez of Honduras. He told me that the caravan that is now making its way through Mexico headed for our southern border is organized by leftist organizations and financed by Venezuela.

This isn't Donald Trump. This isn't Mike Pence. This is the president of Honduras. Now that puts this caravan into a completely different context, doesn't it? This caravan of poor migrant workers has suddenly become an invasion force. financed by a radical revolutionary Marxist in the president of Venezuela. So it seems to be perhaps more than just a Honduran political message. This is a weaponized attack.

But I know CNN doesn't want to cover that. Can you just please find out, do they have enough water? Who's bringing that water in? Can you please have some compassion and just find out who's feeding these people? Who's caring for their medical needs on a 2,500 mile journey? Can you please find that out for the love of humanity? I pointed out on multiple occasions the caravan organizers have ties to both Castro and Maduro in Venezuela and Cuba. This new information from Mike Pence makes sense.

If you're Venezuelan President Maduro, you want to attack the United States, but you barely have enough money to buy any toilet paper, how do you do it? Well, you don't use conventional means. You reach out to your allies, your revolutionaries, your Marxist zealots in South America, and you organize and fund thousands of people to flood the U.S. border. It's a pretty inventive way to strike back. Not only is it a form of economic warfare, but it also destabilizes the U.S. political structure. And that's not to mention how many criminal elements might be tagging along. How many Venezuelan or Cuban spies are using this as cover to enter our country? How many terrorists might be riding along with the intention of attacking the U.S. targets?

Reports this morning are saying that more than two caravans, Two more caravans are currently forming. One in El Salvador and now one in Guatemala. To use a military term, are we being attacked in waves? Was the first caravan of 7,000 just the first wave? How many more will we see? And if this allegation is correct, there is no other way to describe it. The United States is under attack.

It's Wednesday, October 24th. Oh, my gosh. Glenn Beck. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. Glenn Beck is, he's such a conspiracy theorist. Now I say that there's, we're being attacked, and these poor little... I know, I know. So, I'm really with you.

I only said those things because the Zionist had a gun to my head, and I had to say them. Now I'm free from my Zionist masters, so let me just say this to the mainstream media, please, please find out if they have enough water. And now that water is getting to those 7,000. Please find out if they have enough food. Who's providing that food for them? Because I want to hold them up on my shoulders. I want to be able to say, look at this generosity.

They're scheduling the trucks and paying for the trucks to move the food and the water. And the sanitary conditions, please. please CNN, please, just for for humanitarian reasons, please find out. Welcome to the program, Stu. Also, we welcome Jason. Now, I don't know which one it is. I'm certainly not going to help you. I'm not going to help you.

Jason, what? What's his last name? I know his last name, but I don't know. I mean, you know who he is. I never know. I never know how to pronounce it now because I'm not going to. I can't remember which one's right and which one's wrong. How many years has he worked for you?

A long time, huh? I don't recall. Various different roles. I don't recall. A good, tight, good close friend, I would say. Jason Patrill is with us. Wrong one. Jason Buttrill is with us now.

Okay, okay, I got it now. All I have to do is concentrate on butt. There you go. There you go. Jason Buttrill is. No, wrong one. Jason Buttrill is with us now. It's the same word.

It's just a different infossus. That's all it is. You should just, I don't know, maybe pick the right emphasis. All right. Okay. Thank you. Stu. It's just not my name.

And Jason, welcome to the program. Jason has been following this caravan thing for quite a while. And we've been talking about the use of this tactic for, I don't know, years. This is what they're doing to the Israelis. They have, they are attacking the Israeli borders. And what do they do? the Israelis respond, but the media only covers the response, not the attack. And they never look into who's really funding all of this.

It's just, oh, poor Palestinian children want to come over. No, that's not what it is. That's not what it is. And it appears more and more that that's not what this is either, Jason. Right. And this is something that's kind of amazing when you look at how the media just doesn't cover the things. They don't look in the directions they're supposed to be looking at. And it's amazing to me that our small little media footprint here, we were the only ones to point this out long before anybody else even started catching on.

Like you were the first one. I think this was like two and a half weeks ago or something like that. They said, wait a minute, who are these guys that are organizing all this? And when we dug into it, we were like, wow, these are like radical leftists. These are radical leftists with ties to both Maduro and to Rao Castro and Cuba. And the former head of state for our whole people. Honduras who was surprise surprise Barack Obama said was a coup

well no it was the Supreme Court that said of Honduras that said the president is is acting unconstitutional he is trying to change the constitution so we can have a military state under his rule so the Supreme Court said arrest him and kick him out right that's that's what happened. That's what happened. Now, they're unhappy about that. Now, can you tell me a little bit

about Alba? Because most people don't know about Alba. Yeah, so when that now deposed leftist Marxist president, when he, just before he was deposed, he was working on with both Venezuela and Cuba, this massive, like, I want to call it like a European Union type alliance within South America. And it was called Alba. And it was called the, I think the acronym was something wrong in lines of, the alliance for the Bolivarian people of our America. So that was supposed to be the check to U.S. power to rise up in South America. And yeah, our America. And they were going to have their own currency.

I don't know about maybe military agreements would have possibly could have followed. I mean, there were big plans for this. I also want to point out that one of the key observers, you know how like an international international agreement, trade agreements, you have like key outside observers. One of them, their main one was Iran, who is also an ally of Venezuela. Keep that in mind for a little bit later in this discussion when we talk about possible people who are tagging along in some of these caravans. Okay, we're going to get to that here in just a second. First, I want to thank our sponsor this half hour.

Thank you so much relief factor, not only for sponsoring this program, but also I've been taking Relief Factor now for almost a year. We're a couple weeks shy of a year now. And it has, I've gotten my life back. I have gotten my life back. I was in so much pain all the time. And Stu, I mean, works really close. And had to put up with it. Had to put up with the whining and complaining.

No, that's not. Yeah, all the time. No, it's really not. Ask your friend Jason Betrille about it. He remembers it as well. Your close friend, Jason Patrill, is a guy who would remember. Jason has seen me pull through. Jason has seen me go do things where he has said, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it.

Just turn around, go home, don't do it. And I'm like, no, Jason, no. I'll stand. Wow. Yeah. So this guy who went through all this extensive military training. He was impressed by you. He was impressed by you.

I'm just talking about all the stuff he's done. Why do you make it about him all the time? Anyway, relief factor. I feel like I really have gotten my life back. this is 100% drug-free. It's created by doctors. It helps fight against your body's inflammation. And that's really where most of our pain comes from.

You can try it for three weeks. If it doesn't work in three weeks, I don't think it's going to work for you. Try it for three weeks. Now, here's the key. 70% over 70% of the people who try it for three weeks go on to order month after month after month. Relief factor. It works.

Get your life back. Get out of people. pain relieffactor.com. That's relieffactor.com. If you have watched and listened to this program and read the things that we have written, you're not surprised and you are way ahead of the game of what's going on with this caravan. Let's give you some additional information because it's, it's very important what Mike Pence said yesterday. Mike Pence came out in the Oval Office and said, this is being funded by Venezuela.

Now, the mainstream press, they're not going to do anything but ridicule that. But this makes sense. It makes perfect sense. And it does sound crazy when you first hear about it. Like if you're not, if you don't know the backstory, you're like, Venezuela. You know, like, oh, here we go again. They can't, they can't afford anything. Yeah, there's blaming something on the country so we can get involved or whatever, you know.

Or, yeah, or how do they even have the money to do this? But it makes perfect sense when you hear, when you put it into the context of the relationship that Honduras had with both Venezuela and Cuba. It makes absolutely perfect sense. In particular, this group that started this caravan, they are the group that backed the ousted Marxist radical president that was ousted in Honduras. Right. And they still have a like populist avenue to go towards.

Like their goal, their stated goal is still to restore that president back to. power. And they do have kind of a case there and an international case because he was democratically elected. So really, if they can make such a firestorm, such a big media uprising over this, get international support and backing, they could technically eventually try and get this guy back into power. But that is their goal. And that's where this started. And I think that's where Honduras, this party, these people in Honduras, why they originally organized this. But Venezuela also has other reasoning, reasons to be behind this. Now, if you, I mean, you think about it, just was a few months ago, Venezuela President Maduro just survived an assassination attempt.

And he blamed the United States. He blamed the United States for backing those people. He blames the United States for the economic warfare. Basically all the things that are wrong with them, it's not socialism. It's the United States' fault that socialism is not working, not the theory behind him. So he blames us for all these things. So if you are Maduro, you want to strike back. They just tried to kill you, in his words.

how do you do it when you can't compete with the United States in a conventional manner? You have to go non-conventional ways. And you have to understand, too, that it was the ousting of the Honduran presidency, the guy this caravan supports. When he was ousted, the first thing the new government did, or one of the first things the new government did, was get out of the ALBA agreement, which was agreements of, hey, we're going to prop each other up. So as soon as Honduras pulled out away from Venezuela, that hurt them economically. Big time. So he's got a double reason for doing this. This is huge.

And this is huge. So you really need to look at it through that lens. They have a gigantic political and future economic reasoning behind all this. There's a very big plan, you know, in place to do all this. I mentioned before that Iran and both Syria were big time observer. of this economic union. And a lot of people have been focusing on, well, what if ISIS gets into this group or whatever?

You mentioned the possibility of Cuban intelligence, Venezuelan intelligence, which I think is probably 90% likely that they are a part of this caravan. But also, through Iran, Hezbollah. Hezbollah could be all in this caravan. I have no information on that or no intelligence behind it. But because of all the actors,

because of everyone involved, and because of the people that are supporting this. Cuba, Venezuela, Iran. Right. Got it. You could be, Hesbola would be my, if I'm in a U.S. intelligence operative,

I'm looking for Hesbolo links, you know, inside this caravan. And I guarantee you, the U.S. intelligence agencies are all over this. I'm sure we've infiltrated this. That's why when the vice president of the United States says that, oh, the Honduran president told me this,

he's not reporting on hearsay. Like, that would be hearsay unless they seriously have something behind it. I fully think that he knows. I think I heard your interview with Governor Abadne yesterday. Yeah, he knew. He knew as well. He knew. And, of course, that's something he would not come out and say, oh, Venezuela is behind this.

The governor of Texas is not going to say that. But I do think Vice President Pence tipped his hand on that. I fully think that they're behind this. Now the question now is, how does this escalate? You mentioned waves of attacks. We already know there's a caravan forming in El Salvador. There's a caravan forming in Guatemala. And who are they forming?

Who's forming them? We don't know the organizers yet, but those are all. they're all in the same border, all with Honduras. So the same people, that Liberty and Re-Foundation Party, look that up when you're looking these things up and doing your own homework. Liberty and Re-Foundation Party in Honduras, I would not be surprised if we hear more names in El Salvador and Guatemala forming these caravans, because the Honduras border was shut down pretty heavily.

They cracked down on that border, so they can't send more people from Honduras anymore. So their allies in El Salvador and Guatemala are probably just forming them in their border countries. And the press won't look into this. In fact, the press is downplaying this now. And the reason why is because they know this is a nightmare for Democrats in the election. This is an absolute nightmare. The buildup to it. What happens on the border may actually work to their advantage politically because you'll have the big bad American soldier standing up. But the build up before the border, they are saying, this is a conspiracy. We don't know where they're headed. Yes, yes, we do. Yes, we do. We know what their intent is to cross our border. And mass.

You need to start demanding and tweeting that press looks into the humanitarian issues of this caravan. Who's providing the water and the medical care? Because we're all very concerned about this caravan who is paying for the food, the water, and emergencies. I'm just looking at, I mean, do these, do these Honduran kids, this is the stuff in, you know, NBC and ABC and CNN should be looking into, do they have any bob strollers for the kids? Because those are, those are built to last. Yeah, you know, jogging stroller off-road, big tires. Yeah, you need that. You can't go on a 25-hundred.

mile track with just any stroller. One of those little like umbrella strollers. It's going to fail in the first, you know, 800, 900 miles. Then what happens? And then what happens? Then you're going to have to get a baby Bjorn and you're going to have to throw, toss the kid in that thing. And that's going to, you know, that's not good.

I think over a couple thousand miles, your back would would not be able to handle that. Yeah. Yeah. Or you get the silver cross, Aston Martin's, uh, two. That's about that. That stroller is about, uh, $5,000. I hope they have that. That should last.

That should last. And look, these poor migrants are going to have those. They likely already have them. Well, I don't know. You don't think? Well, I don't see a lot of women or children, actually, in most of the photos. Pat is joining us now from Pat Gray Unleash. Now precedes this program.

Glenn, have you not seen this photo of all? All these children? Look at the 12-year-old children. Okay, they all... Everybody in that picture looks like they're 25-year-old male. I mean, according to the U.S. government, you're a child until you're 26. Okay.

And look at these children. They're all, they're all probably 20 to 30 year old children. And there's probably, what, 300 in this photo? I'm scanning. I don't see, I see a lot of children, but no women. No women in this photo at all.

And when you say you see a lot of children, you see no children. I see no children. Okay. Yeah, we should point out. You know what else? By the 26-year-old definition, you see a few children, but that's the only way you see children.

I'll tell you the other. endearing thing to me. Is the waving, the carrying for 2,000 miles of the Honduran flag? Yeah. Amen. It's very nice. Thank you. The fact that they're fleeing their country because it's so poorly run and so violent.

No, that's not why they're fleeing. Oh, I'm sorry. Why are they fleeing? Oh, they're fleeing as a political statement because there was an overthrow of their government. Their particular candidate who was president because he was, he was trying to change the constitution in the Supreme Court of Honduras said illegal arrest him and exile him no no no I'm looking at this political article that explains the facts

oh okay oh good okay good the facts yeah the facts out of politico yeah um what's the principal reason migrants are traveling to the U.S. right right and you said something about what some dictator communist what was your little rant there this is a this is unbelievable this was organized This is organized by a, you know, a revolutionary party. He's despicable. He is to be. Okay. So what do they say?

Wow. What's the real truth? The real reason is experts cite violence, poverty, and family connections in the U.S. as the primary forces driving migrants from Honduras, as well as the possibility they might be able to remain once they arrive. These, look, you're talking about people who are facing violence. Violence. People who are very poor, who are already connected through their families. to the United States.

And they just want the possibility that they might be able to remain once they arrive. What is this guy saying? He's talking about communism over here. He's despicable. No, I'm asking. Communism's dead. I hope you knew that.

The 1980s call. They want their foreign affairs service back. They want all their ideas from the Reagan years back. It's not Rocky Four anymore. Ivan Drago. Is it going to come hurt you? I would just, I just want the mainstream media, just to check on the children.

Yes. Just could you do some reports on how are they, who's taking care of the medical care? Yeah. Who is taking care of the food for 7,000 people? The diapers. The diapers involved with the infants. The sanitary conditions must be extraordinary. How are they sleeping?

How are they moving? somebody because I want to help I want to help I just need to know if Shepard Smith showed where they were sleeping they're sleeping on the pavement and it's burning hot pavement that they're sleeping on and where are they getting the water because you can't take 7,500 people into a small town

you know and and go into the 7-11 and say hey we need you know 14,000 bottles of water you can't no no one for right now because I'm a little thirsty. We haven't, we haven't had a drink in 200 miles. So I'm going to take one for the road. One for the road for everybody and one drink now. Yeah, I just need 14,000 bottles of water. I'm sure the Stuckies that they're stopping at probably has 14,000 bottles of water. Okay. Yeah. So I'm sure it's, they just stop at Stuckies, you know, along the way.

All right. Could be. Um, you keep saying something about a political stunt. Uh, you keep talking about this. The funding. The funding. Well, you want to. I have the funding The supply chain. I had it right here. Oh, okay. All these questions about, oh, where do they get that from?

Who organized or caused the caravan? Bartolo Fuentes. Bartolo Fuentes initially organized it and in October 4th Facebook post. He shared a graphic promoting a migrant march. The graphic told migrants and protesters to gather on October 12th at a bus station and San Pedro Sula,

one of the most violent cities in the world. Quote, leave because we want to. Violence and poverty chases us out. Oh, but go ahead. Assign these negative, these negative motivations. Glenn, go ahead. A Facebook post, completely organic. A Facebook post where he just wanted people to run away from violence and poverty. That is it. That's why he's so proudly shining his Honduran flag through all these other nations. I stand corrected. Thank you. I stand corrected. You know, the Arab Spring had nothing to do with the coordination of the Muslim Brotherhood and groups like that.

That was just a Facebook post. I stand corrected. It's about time. Benghazi was just a spontaneous group of people that had seen a YouTube video. And it just spontaneously happened. That's what happens. Right. When people watch YouTube videos, generally speaking, they riot.

Generally speaking, that's what YouTube does. It's a riot starter. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. So I'm glad you're finally admitting it. So why would Mike Pence say that Venezuela is behind this? He probably hasn't read this Politico article yet. Well, he's also a liar.

We know that for a fact. A lying liar who lies? Yes. And a hate monger. A mongering in hatred and lies. He's a lying hate monger who mongers in many different vices, such as hate and lies. So so bad. Yeah.

Do these guys make it to our border? I think they do. Yeah. Is Mexico going to stop them? Well, no way. Greg Abbott said yesterday they would. Really? Yeah.

Yeah, he was on with us yesterday. If they do, I will be stunned. He thinks Mexico will stop them. We'll stop them. When is that going to happen? I don't. I don't know. I don't have my crystal ball or my connection to the Mexican president.

Or a political article to tell you what's happening. You no longer have that. Right. You don't have it yet. The locals in Mexico are saying it's the. caravans grown to 14,000 people now, and they continue to head north. But I'm hopeful that. Well, there's two others, the news that we've broken this morning,

there are two other caravans that are now forming behind this one. Well, because they've seen, you know, the seriousness of the countries along the way that they're just, well, no, they're not going to be stopped. So, yes, they continue to come. And can you imagine if we allow these people, all of 14,000 or however many are there? and then the caravan after it and the one after that. What does that say to future caravans? No, you're over.

California is over. It's over. California will be the first to collapse. Yep. Even if they are what the Democrats are saying they are, that they're just all downtrodden people who just want to come to America and find jobs. Well, okay, but are we going to get 14,000 at a time

month after month after month? That's not going to work out well for us. I guess they think we can, just except an infinite number of people into our country. The good news is they're all good people. Yeah, they are, right? Except for the fact that all of them. No.

No? Actually, well, not according to the people in the caravan. Not acquainted. Hold it just the same. Wait, not according to, though. What do they know? Well, that's a good point. Not according to those in the caravan.

Yeah. Okay. They talked to a migrant in a caravan and asked them about the criminal element. Mm-hmm. Listen. criminals is everywhere okay it's criminals in here

I mean it is but oh my gosh it's not that many I mean it's good people here trying to get through to Mexico and then get to the United States

but that doesn't mean that everybody's a criminal so not everyone is a criminal so there are some good people there's a lot of criminals yeah there's a lot of criminals yeah there's a lot of criminals everywhere. Wow. Wow. I doubt he's going to be asked to speak to cameras again.

I doubt it. I doubt it. I doubt it. By the way, who's left in Honduras to fight for Honduras? Anybody? Anybody going to take a stand in Honduras or is it just turned over to the gang now? This is a stop it. That's not what this is about. That's not what this is about. Of course it's about the violence in Honduras. It is not. It is not. We don't. We don't. leave because we want to violence and poverty chases us out uh-huh uh-huh thank you it's not about that this is now they there may be some people in that group and there may be some criminals there may be some that actually believe that that's not what this is about this was started as a reaction to gather this same group what about the facebook post says right here

Well, Facebook posts. I can't. I can't. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. Have we frustrated you? No, it's just, you know, all I hear in my head is all of the response.

Glad back, conspiracy theorists. There's communists all over the place. Well, yeah. Yeah. Let's check the Democratic Party. What do you think? You know, they're now saying, yeah, capitalism doesn't work. We've got to get rid of capital.

capitalism. Well, you can't tell me that that isn't a Marxist, communist, socialist solution. And by the way, Canada is not a socialist country. Canada has socialized aspects in a capitalist country. So stop saying, well, Canada is not doing, nor are the Netherlands. They are not doing what the Democratic Socialists are saying they want to do. And that is get rid of capitalism, period. So please stop media with the conspiracy fairies. Pull your head out of your ass and actually look at what's going on. Sorry. Here's our response to this half hour. By the way, we just want to bring people together. We really do. So we're We are going to try to have a conversation next hour with Dr. Deborah So, because we cannot figure out what the hell any of these terms mean. And I think yesterday the New York Times was making my argument about transgenderism.

But I don't know if they've changed back. I can't follow any of it. I can't follow any of it. So we're just going to try to learn the terms.

Amazing. And he was breaking down the races. He's pretty, I would say, optimistic. Yeah, I would say really optimistic. Yeah, he thinks, you know, we're going to play some of this

maybe coming up, but he thinks it's going to be, they're going to expand the majority in the Senate, and he thinks they got a shot at the House still. He was, he listed off a bunch of races that were close that he thought Republicans would pull off. Now, obviously the guys worked for, you know, Republicans for a long time. You can, you can certainly say he's biased. But, you know, I think he was trying to give his honest take as to where the race stood. And there's some, some of the polling recently has, has moved in the favor of Republicans in the House. So there's a chance there. It'll be interesting to see if they can pull it off because, you know, later on, we went into what, what does the world look like, basically, if the Democrats do win the House and or the Senate?

Yeah, it's not, it's not pretty. It's not pretty. So if you have a friend who, you know, doesn't hate capitalism, You should have them come because I don't know if you have friends have noticed.

And I think what they're saying is what I've always been saying about transgenderism and I thought this was politically incorrect.

And I don't know what the hell this even means now. Has this? I don't, I really honestly do not understand. Stu brought this up. Read the Times article that you brought up. Yeah, the Times article is anatomy does not determine gender experts say. That's the title. Now, it's kind of themed through discussion of this Trump plan to change the way people register on paperwork.

as you'd be registering as the sex you were born at, not the sex you believe you are today. So that's kind of where it's themed. And of course, every piece of news must go through some sort of Trump filter to see whether you can blame Trump or excuse Trump or no one can just talk about an issue anymore. But halfway through the story, you get this. And I was fascinated by this discussion. How to define identity? researchers say gender identity comes from the brain, not the body. Some put it more bluntly.

It originates between your ears, not between your legs. And so... Yes. I would say, like, that strikes me, as I read it again, almost like a conservative critique. Right. That's coming between your ears, not your legs. Right, exactly. Right.

And this is supposed to be what the researchers are saying. And it struck me as I was reading this that we are, discussing two different things. Like the reason why you would want someone to register as a male or female, let's say, on a government health care form, right? Would be something because not because of the feeling in their brain.

Because of what they really are. Right. Like you would have to cover, for example, you know, birth, right? Something that a man can't do. Wow. And again, that's a whole other part of controversy of Obamacare and other things. But the point being, you know, there's a reason

to know these things in theory with the government, not because they're tracking how feelings. They're not tracking how you feel in your brain, right? They're talking about specific things that body parts can do. And, you know, that is, you know, there might be a higher risk of breast cancer or a higher risk of another type of cancer. That doesn't change because your mind feels like you're more like a boy than you are a girl. And gender has, they have gotten away from one traditional,

definition of gender, which is male or female. But the other part of the definition of gender is describing traits that is really kind of, you know, feminine. That is a traditional masculine gender, okay? Those traits. The tomboy. The tomboy. That's a masculine gender trait.

Okay. Right. But those are traits. Now, you want to talk about traits. okay but we're talking I thought about saying that you are actually a woman and that's not true so dr. Deborah so is with us she is a journalist and sex researcher and and has her head screwed on right and isn't afraid she's Canadian I don't know what what it is with the Canadians having more guts than us but she's a Canadian researcher and has spoken out about this and

Deborah, I just want you to set us straight. Where are we wrong here? What are we missing? I'm absolutely appalled by the coverage on this story because there's so much misinformation being spread. And with regards to that Times piece in particular, anatomy very much does determine gender. I mean, nowadays, gender is seen as sort of this free-floating, nebulous concept that is completely divorced from biology, but it's very much linked to biology and anatomy.

For 99% of us, our biological sex is our gender. Of course, that's not the case with everybody, but for the vast majority of us, that is the case. And I don't think there should have anything wrong with saying that. So wait a minute. So hang on. But what the Times article was saying is that gender happens, and I am willing to, go back to the, you know, definition, male born this way, female born this way. You want to say gender is male or female specific, but I'm also willing to say, okay,

gender is is the traits, but it is not biological. I mean, will they go that far? However, what's happening here is they're taking away sex and tying it to gender. and so why would we have, why would we have male and female sex if it's all gender? If it means the same, if it means the same thing, it doesn't talk about traits.

The other part is, isn't that gender dysphoria? If it is all happening in your head, then that's dysphoria. Is it not? I see what you're saying. Well, I think nowadays people tend to use the word gender across the board, one because they don't want to use the word sex. Maybe that makes someone uncomfortable.

But I think also from an ideological perspective, it makes it easier for people to argue that you can identify as whatever you want because it's a little bit trickier. I think most people still have the common sense to know that biological sex is immutable. So to argue for say something like transgender rights, it becomes helpful for them to say, well, maybe it's not about biology. It's about gender, which is, you know, they say it's a social construct or whatever, which it isn't. makes it a little bit easier to argue that, okay, someone, the way someone feels may not necessarily be linked to their biology. So I'm not sure if that really speaks to the point you're making. So, but can you explain what gender dysphoria is? Right. So it's the feeling that someone

feels more in alignment with the opposite sex than their birth of sex. So someone would be born male, but they will feel more as though they fit in the female role. Okay. How has gender dysphoria been embraced, is gender dysphoria a good thing or a bad thing? Hmm. I think it's seen as, I don't think it should be seen as good or bad. I think it's a medical condition, and I think people who are suffering should be able to have access to care, and I think adults should be allowed to transition if that's been the best approach for them.

But I think nowadays it's kind of glamorized and seen as something that is really almost preferred, I wouldn't say preferred in society, but it's almost like seen as a positive thing, especially among progressive people. So, but here's my, here's my point. Isn't, isn't anorexia a form of physical dysmorphia that you see your body as fat, even though you're 60 pounds? Isn't that dysphoria? Right, true. The thing with gender dysphoria is it does have biological correlates.

So this is the thing I find very confusing. about the whole transgender movement is that, you know, some people will argue that biology has nothing to do with it. Other people argue that it is strongly biological. I would think that proponents of this movement would want to be in alignment with the science that does show it is biological because doesn't that add some sort of validity, I guess, to what they're saying, because it has to do with hormonal exposure in utero. So an example I can give is, say, girls who are exposed to a higher level of testosterone in utero. So higher levels of exposure to testosterone is associated with more male typical interests and behaviors.

So girls who are exposed to higher levels of testosterone when they are born, they are more male typical in their behavior. They're also more likely to want to have a male gender identity. So it speaks to the biological influence, even though people want to say that gender is completely diverse from that. So I guess one of the things as I was reading the story, Dr. So is that there is a, it's almost like we're talking about two different things. You know, we were, if what gender is, is a feeling, that is an interesting thing for people

like you to research on it. Even if it's a biological feeling. Yeah, well, yeah, sure. But it's not necessarily of interest on a form, you know, that you're turning into the government, right? I mean, like, that's a different, I mean, it may be in certain circumstances, but why the government is asking for this information. is not necessarily about someone's feelings.

It's about a physical characteristic that they hold. So, I mean, is it just that, is it just basically that gender doesn't mean what it used to mean? Are they using gender to say, this is a feeling? And therefore, we should almost come up with a different word for what I, because what I'm describing and what we've talked about this entire time has nothing to do with feelings. It's male or female. It's about, yeah, it's about physical characteristics. What is the word for that?

I see what you mean. I think from the perspective of what the administration is trying to do, I think they should be allowed to collect that information and that information and those data without it being such a controversial issue. And, you know, with regards to protecting Title IX and women's rights, I don't know why people don't see it from that perspective that this is a positive thing because shouldn't that be seen as helping women, right? And it kind of does boil down to this larger argument that's going on.

on right now about people who are born female versus the rights of transgender women and are transgender women, women full stop. And so there is this argument going on. I don't know if either of you've been following this, but it's been mostly radical feminists. I wouldn't consider myself a radical feminist, but, you know, this group of very progressive women who are saying transgender women are not the same as people who are born female. So in this argument, transgender activists have been winning so far. And we see that in terms of how this narrative has played out with the recent decision. But in terms of what you're saying, I see what you're saying, and I guess I'm using different words to kind of mean the same thing in that, yes, for people who are male or female,

that gender is basically sex. It is, at the end of the day, the same thing. But nowadays, gender's being used in a different way to kind of argue for this more progressive idea that you can be whatever you want. And I'm not insane, right? That's changed. That's not, I'm not completely insane. saying in the belief that gender used to mean? No. Right? Like this is something that they are taking this word and making it mean feelings instead of what it used to mean, which was biological gender, sex. And traits.

Right. And that's why I think all the definitions spread to this larger idea that gender is a spectrum, because if you feel a certain way on one day and you feel differently on another day, that must mean that your gender must be something unrelated to sex. which is immutable. So one more follow-up on this. If, as the New York Times says, identity comes from the, gender identity comes from the brain,

not the body. It originates between your ears and not between your legs. If that is accurate, and that is a defense of the transgendered argument, right? It's not a criticism of it. It's a defense of it.

If that it's true, and it's in your brain and not between your legs, why are there physical surgeries associated with being transgendered? Right. I mean, that argument doesn't really make much sense. And I don't like that argument because it's not really accurate either because what's between your legs and what goes on your brain is linked. So you can't really separate the two and treat them like they're completely different phenomena. But there's a lot of aspects of this argument that don't make sense. I mean, transgender activists will also say that gender is a social construct. But if that's the case, why do you then need hormonal intervention to transition or to feel more. in alignment with the sex that you identify as. So I guess my biggest gripe from this whole thing is that, you know, sex is about being

male or female. Gender is how you feel in relation to your sex. But again, as I said, for the vast majority of us, our biological sex does dictate our gender. So I don't think the three of us are necessarily that, you know, view things that differently than though I'm using different terms to describe it. I'm asking you a really difficult and politically incorrect question. If dysmorphia, for instance, is, we say that it's bad to be anorexic because you're seeing your body in a way that is not reality and it's dangerous.

It doesn't, it's not a healthy outlook. We see the stats of people who have gender dysmorphia and the suicide rates are really bad. Having the sex change and everything else is not changing those. suicide rates. So why are we taking the gender dysmorphia and say, hey, it's totally fine when it's not, it's not, the suicide rates are bad? I would agree that one thing we're talking about is comorbidity. I do think many people who are coming out as transgender nowadays probably have some other psychiatric condition that isn't being diagnosed because clinicians aren't able to do their job properly. So if someone comes into your clinic and says that they are transgender, I don't work with patients anymore, but if someone comes in now and says that they're transgender,

a clinician really does have to take that at face value. They're not really allowed to ask deeper questions because that's seen as transphobic. So I think nowadays because it's seen as very trending to be trans, that could be part of it. And so if someone who has another form of psychopithology, it's manifesting as something that has to do with gender, even if gender is nothing to do with it.

but with regards to why transitioning should be seen as something beneficial. I mean, research does show for some people it can't help. I do think if other things have been ruled out that it can be beneficial for somebody, I think ultimately adults should be free to do what they want with their bodies. So do I. Don't get me wrong. So do I. But I think what I was getting to, and you've just answered, is this transphobia, this just hurting, everybody into ask no questions is dangerous.

It's just dangerous for people. And we should look, in the end, you're an adult. You get to do what you want to do, and I'm fine with that. But just the silencing of thought, and in this case, science, medicine is, is terrifying. Yeah, but I mean, going back to the difference between gender dysphoria and say something like anorexia, With people who are gender dysphoric, their brains have been partially either masculineized or feminized in the direction of the gender they identify. Right. But the thing is, these studies that show this in the brain are also conflated with sexual orientation.

So if you have a study on trans women, say, so these are people who are born male but identifies female, they are also attracted, for the most part, to men. So when you do these brain studies, we're still not clear on if the different. as we're seeing are due to them identifying as female or due to them being sexually attracted to men because there are very strong neural correlates that are associated with sexual orientation. So that's the other thing that people aren't talking about is that this has a lot to do with sexual orientation being gay. And so the brain correlates that people are talking so much about how transgender being transgender is in the brain, it's not really accurate because we don't know that for sure yet.

Dr. Debra Soe, thank you so much. I appreciate it. always enlightening to talk to somebody who is not politically correct and doesn't agree with everything that you say or, you know, you may not agree with everything she says. Good. Have the conversation. It's healthy. Car shield. They're taking your car in for an oil change.

So, I mean, look, here, here's where I think people are. I don't want to, I feel bad for Bruce Jenner. I really do. I'm sorry for name shaming him, but, uh, I, dead naming. Yeah, dead naming. I feel bad for Bruce Jenner. I, it's, The fact that he lived his whole life feeling the way he felt and felt like, you know, some sort of outcast, that's horrible. I feel bad for that.

And you know what? If he wants to be called a woman and he wants to do whatever he wants to do, he can do what he wants. He's an adult. And I can choose to be kind to him and say, you know, you're a woman now. But if I'm on the witness stand, I'm raising my hand and saying it's a dude. That's Bruce Jenner. Okay. and Bruce Jenner had a horrible life and a horrible experience and he felt this way and I went along because I don't want to hurt him.

I don't, you know, if that's what made him happy, I'm going to say that. But court of law, no. And Your Honor, she's not pretty either. Right. And I think that's the, there's two sides of this. There's the libertarian in me is like, well, people can do whatever they want. I don't care. And that's fine.

But then there's also the truth. And why it matters is the science part. You're right. When you talk about insurance. Why do we have to be male or female? Insurance. Well, you know what? That woman might have to be checked by a proctologist from time to time

because she might have butt cancer at some point. Nicely put, yeah. Okay? I mean, that's just reality. Right. And that's why that stuff is important. Right. And you said it, I mean, the doctor said it a bunch of times.

You just said it in the last conversation, feel, felt, feel, felt, feel, felt. feel felt. Feelings are interesting. You can cover them. You can be interested in them. We all look at that. We can watch out for each other's feelings. Absolutely. We can try to guard them if we wish.

However, it's completely separate than a scientific fact. A feeling is a feeling. It's not fact. And that's fine. Yeah. That's just two different things. But you can't disengage from facts. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Spend about three or four hours yesterday with Sean Spicer. He's a fascinating guy. Fascinating guy. Yeah, certainly has an amazing life experience here the last couple of years. Yeah, he's a guy who has perspective, not necessarily just another opinion. Everybody's got opinions. Everybody has two armpits, too, and I don't necessarily want to smell yours. It's perspective, really, that matters.

And he has a really interesting perspective from what he has gone through. And I did a podcast with him. It's come out in a couple of weeks. And then we had him on The News and Why It Matters. And he was actually very positive about this upcoming election for the Republicans if people turn out to vote. He was. And, you know, it's there's an interesting thing that's been going on. We've seen some positive trends for Republicans in these polls.

there's a theory out there which is, I guess, a competing theory as to what's going to happen with the election. We're about two weeks away. People are voting right now, though. I think up to seven million people nationwide have voted as of yesterday, I believe is the number. So voting, I mean, this is election day. You're in the middle of it right now. This is now, we now have two week long election days. That's just the way the world is. and it's interesting the idea that's being floated by people who want to give the Democrats a shot at the Senate, a better shot at the House, is there was evidence of a Kavanaugh bump. However, that's not going to carry you to the election. And we saw real improvement in the Senate for Republicans after Kavanaugh, which of course is the exact opposite of why it was done. right like i mean democrats did this to hurt republicans actually seem to help them and that i think is pretty well established in the polling so far the idea is and and there's some basis for this

thing happening is you get the bump from cavan but it's it's too far away from the election and doesn't help you a good example of of this exact phenomenon playing itself out if this is true would be the access hollywood tape access hollywood tape came out in early october um trump's polls plummet Hillary's went up. She opened up a very large lead, and that lead trickled down, down, down, down, down until the very end. They went from about eight or nine points right after that tape all the way down to about two, two and a half points,

which is where the national polls ended up with Clinton up about two and a half points about. So the idea here is Kavanaugh gives them this nice bump, and then it fades before the election, and the Democrats are able at the last second to cross the finish line ahead. You know, some of the polling is somewhat interesting on this. If you look at recent polling that came out, like the most recent poll from the Cruz O'Rourke race, now there's been a couple polls taken over the past week or so

that have put Cruz only up four or five. Now there was polling there was seven and nine and ten and twelve, point leads for Cruz. The past few polls have been more like four and five point leads for starting to trend the other way, which is the last thing you want. It's tightening, right? Yeah. And that was one of the arguments Sean Spicer was making yesterday is really got to watch the trends, which way these things are going. Now, I think there was evidence, you know, there is evidence, I think, that, you know, the picture's mixed. We don't know. This is one race. There was some polling, though, that showed in Florida as well. Pretty decent polling for

Democrats in the Senate that came out yesterday with Nelson up by four. There was, you know, on the same plane, though, I mean, Menendez in New Jersey, now again, once again, looks vulnerable after it seemed like he had reopened up a lead and maybe he would cruise to the finish line. He's now only up by three in a poll that just came out. And, you know, you never, you can fool yourself as a Republican thinking going to win a lot of New Jersey races, but it does, I mean, Chris Christie was governor there for two terms. It does occasionally happen. And Menendez is a terrible candidate who, you know, quite, quite likely was paying underage prostitutes for sex.

Now, he was not able to be convicted for that. Oh, who are you to judge? Well, who are you to judge? You can judge whether you think that's a good or a bad thing, but it does seem like it occurred. So the polling's pretty mixed right now. There was another poll, by the way, you know, some polls are showing that Cruz O'Rourke race even tighter. So I don't know. I mean, it was interesting to hear Sean Spicer talk about it because Spicer, as you would know, was the original spokesperson for Donald Trump. and became famous for that. But has a very long military career. He was a very much a, you know, a Washington insider really knew the behind-the-scenes politics of it.

And you hear him talking about politics. He knows this stuff. I mean, he can rattle off these races like nobody else. This is from the latest podcast, The News and Why It Matters. If you don't subscribe to that, it's about a 45-minute thing. On your way home, you can listen to it. And it's me and it's Stu. It's Pat.

It's Sarah Gonzalez. and also sometimes a guest like yesterday was Sean Spicer. And it's just a kind of a fun look at the news. Here's what Sean Spicer said yesterday, just a little bit of what he said about this election. The problem is that their base, the vocal minority of their base keeps dragging them so far to the left that they kind of have to keep fumbling past each other

to outdo each other to prove who's the most pure. And that's the biggest problem that we have right now for the Democrats is that they have been the biggest helpers to the Republican Party. Oh, big time. Because by going so far to the left and trying to appease this mob, which is what it really is, they've lost the ability to talk about things on the Senate. I know.

You can't do that. They've, for most pragmatic, traditional Democrats, they feel like the party is so far left them. I actually think you might have a turnout problem. You're talking about it with the Latino community now. I think the Democrats, as ironic as this may sound, may actually lose the enthusiasm gap by a big margin heading into the midterms. Because a lot of these folks are saying, wow, they've now exposed to they really are. This isn't about fighting for workers' rights or environmental causes that we've cared about for so long.

This is about impeachment and investigations. I don't know that I bought in on that if you're a traditional Democrat. And I think that they look at the Republicans who have been focused on a pretty pragmatic agenda of economic growth, low unemployment, deregulate tearing down the deregulatory state and they go you know I'm not sure I'm a Republican but I kind of agree with that agenda so when the dust settles how many Republican senators are there 55 55 yeah and you I think if if you call me and go hi you were wrong as 56 you'll be okay with that I'll be okay with that but I think that the way it's going now we've got a 51 49 majority again I actually think Florida's going to go Republican Nelson

Governor Scott's going to beat incumbent Senator Nelson, I think there's no question in Indiana and North Dakota in the bag. And then I think... You think Indiana's in the bag. I mean, North Dakota... 16 points. You can't blow that lead.

But Indiana, there's another story. I mean, that's... Oh, I think Indiana, it's up for, but it's... Look, I've been in politics a long time. The trend is what matters. If you're fighting back, if you've got the lead and it's coming over to you, that's not good.

Right now, when you look at Indiana, it's continuing to move in the right direction. Donnelly keeps fading further and further back. You don't pick up that momentum going. You don't reverse the trend in the last 14 days. It just doesn't happen. That's from the news and why it matters, a podcast that you can watch every night at 530, immediately following my show, or you can get the podcast around the same time, wherever you download

and listen to your podcasts. Fascinating yesterday. It was actually really funny, too. I really liked him. It was funny. All right. Let me tell you a little bit about response to the Saff Hour. it is gold line.

Stu, we have to write this down. I have to talk about the shortage of money. The shortage of money. Shortage of money. I know how you're feeling. I don't mean just with you. I mean, the shortage of money, it's really fascinating when you really start. I started looking into yields and how yields go up and yields go down and treasuries and all of this stuff.

And it's so complex. So most people are just kind of like, I don't, what? And I started down to this rabbit hole and I got to the shortage of money. And it makes so much sense that interest rates are going to rise because everybody borrowed, you know, made loans. These giant countries made loans and they made them in dollar denominations. Now they're struggling to pay them. they have to have the dollars. So they're borrowing more dollars to pay off the loans.

We are borrowing more dollars as a country for what, $1.4 trillion of additional debt this year alone. Those dollars are coming from someplace. The Fed is also selling all of their assets. And that's pouring more money, more U.S. dollars back into the Fed. And they're destroying that. So where's the money coming from? All this money.

Where is it going to come from for you? This, when money tightens like this, the Fed only has a couple of ways to go, and that is put everybody through a real bloodbath, which they might do. Or print more money and make our loans, you know, less than zero. Perfect. there is a great undoing that is going to happen at some point, and you're starting to see with the stock market how volatile that is. Have you considered having something as an insurance policy? I do not buy gold for the investment.

People are like, oh, what kind of investment? I don't buy it for an investment. I buy it for the insurance against insanity. And the world is going more and more insane every day.

Glenn Beck. One winner in the lottery. One winner. One point. Is it six or four? 1.6 billion dollars. $1.6 billion. Did it rise at all? A lot of times it rises on the last minute, but it was at least $1.6 billion. The biggest lottery award in history going to one person in South Carolina. So you're getting probably 900 if you take it all in one lump sum? Yes.

Yeah, it's 900 and something million. 913, I think it is. And how much do you get if you take it yearly? I believe it's $22.6 million for... Every year? Yeah, 30 years. So it's 2045. Can I tell you something?

I normally say take the money and run. And I would take the money. If it were me, I would take the money and run because I don't know if that thing's going to sit around for 20 more years. God help us what could happen in 20 years. Yeah. However, $22 million a year, you're living quite large. And I will say, too, actually, as I'm noting, there is a note. at the top of this. This is originally written for a previous story. They've just updated it to hit.

So the 22.6 million was on a $700 million of jackpot. So we're talking more than double that. You're probably close to about 50 million per year. You are fine. You're fine. You're fine. Yeah. Take the annuity. You're fine. It's funny. Hasn't the advice always been. You're an idiot if you take the annuity. Yes. This article goes through and analyzes it and talks about how the tax benefits are there for you to take the annuity. you're going to get a return that you can't necessarily get in a bank account from the annuity, and that's pre-tax dollars. If you're built, you're only built one year.

Right. Well, they actually point that out, too. This is actually a pretty funny article. This leads us to the biggest advantage of the annuity, protecting you from yourself. Again, I don't know all about you, but I do know you buy lottery tickets. So let's consider the possibility that you are not one of your generation's great financial minds.

And it goes on to say the other thing is, you will have an excuse to not give every single person who comes up to you money because you don't get it all at once. So instead of having a billion dollars in the bank... $50 million a year. Is that tax-free? You still have to pay taxes on the $50 million. I think you still have to pay taxes on it.

Wow. It's only $25 million. Right. Again, but I mean, you know, there is at least some limit, right? Like, ah, you're going to get more next year. But I did just buy a fancy house and a fancy car. And I gave money to this person. And like, you're going to have to wait.

$25 million a year after taxes, you are living large. Yeah, that's across the line where you're basically doing anything you want, with the exception of buying multiple private jets and like that super duper high-end stuff. You're not, you know, you're not going to get. Yeah, you probably could if you've got $50 million a year coming in. If you know the money's coming, you could certainly do it. Yeah. But I mean, you're not buying, you can't pay for them in cash.

No. But you wouldn't want to. But if you have a guaranteed 20 years of 50 years. $50 million, why paying cash? Yeah, I mean, it seems like any bank is going to give you the loan. Right. It just feels weird to pay someone interest on anything when you're in that financial position. But yeah, I guess you could certainly get it.

What do you care? It's not going to be all that much, I guess, in the grand scheme of things. But congratulations to whoever. Our South Carolina listener, who we, of course, made that incredible deal with to get 3% each. I remember that. when they win. And just, you know, as a nice thank you for, you know, doing the show all these years. All these years.

We appreciate it. We appreciate it. You know, she got in contact with us. We love you. Or son. We've always loved you. Whichever, your daughter, whichever you are. Whatever you are.

You are part of this family. If you won or lost, we were always with you. Yeah. And we would have obviously shared our winnings with you. So we would have. As you listened to this, obviously, just said the check. We would have. We would have absolutely.

Oh my gosh. If I had, if I were, the one the lottery? everyone in this audience would be a millionaire today. Really? Yeah. We have a much smaller audience than I suspected. Well. Because I've seen the numbers.

That would cost you a lot more than $1.6 billion. Well, I'm just saying, you know, my heart would say we're all millionaires today. Oh, okay. I wouldn't actually give anybody else a, you know, a dollar of it. But in my heart, we'd all be millionaires today. Oh, wow. That's great. It's not worth anything, but it's great.

Yeah. Let me ask you this. You won $50 million a year. Yes. I know you don't even call me. Oh, you would never even hear my voice again. Yeah. So there's no, there's no like, hey, Glenn, it's been great.

Here's 10 million. Oh, good God, no. Yeah. I might find someone you really hate to pass along a message. Right. You know, send them over to your house. All right. George Soros is calling, I got a message from Stu.

I now work for him. Yeah, I mean, it's a big life change at that point. I don't think there's another deadline I have in life. Like, I always thought about that. Like, I still do a lot of the same things that I do now. And there's a lot of the work that I do that I love and I would do separately from having a job. But, like, I'm not getting up early to do it. You know, like, that's not happening.

You know, like, I'm not like, oh, you need that turned in by Friday. Well, you get it in 20. I'm, good luck. I suddenly am like a 20-something. You know, I may not show up tomorrow. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, you open at 9?

Oh, that's one. Oh, well. I'd embarrass millennials with my attendance. I would do. The country has been pushed to the limit. Our political bonds have been torn apart. We need a true leader who can save us from certain doom. Unfortunately, we could only find this guy.

Hey, it's Glenn Beck. Glenn Beck is coming live to talk about the right path forward. and to make fun of the people standing in the way. He might not be able to save the country, but at least we can all go down laughing. Glenn Beck Live, the addicted to outrage tour, on tour this fall. For tickets, VIP packages, and more. Visit glenbeck.com.

Stu, I would like you to talk to my wife about Field of Greens and explain to her that I no longer have to eat my vegetables. Well, this is the whole point of Field of Greens in my mind. Thank you. In my mind, too. Not necessarily in their mind, but this. They're like, so good, you're getting your vegetables and it doesn't hurt to have more. No. Well, no.

To be fair to your wife, though, she may be thinking of, there's a lot of these, like, products that say that they're like superfoods. And they're just like extracts and they don't really do any, you know, superfoods. Superfood's a kind of an overused term. Brickhouse with Field of Greens, this is actual real food. Like, they've just made it easy for you to eat. You're having all the vegetables. You're getting the nutrients that you need. You're listening to your mommy.

Yeah. I'm not going to get scurvy now. Yeah. So I can take it to. field of greens. Take it and just get all of your fruits and vegetables out of the way. Yeah. You can do it now. Just go to Brickhouseglen.com. Brickhouseglen.com. Join me. Yeah. And Wives of America.

We've had our fruits and vegetables. If used to promo code Glenn, by the way, 15% off. It's Brickhouseglen.com. Brickhouseglen.com. Go there now. Well, here we are today. We have suspicious packages again. sent to the White House, then to the Clintons, then to Obama, now to CNN. CNN's building has been evacuated. We have gone through this when we lived in New York. It is a scary, scary thing. But we are reaping the seeds that all of us are, I shouldn't say all of us.

A lot of people who are in politics are sewing. the streets are becoming more and more dangerous for people who have a political opinion. And this is not good. Can you name the guy who tried to shoot all of the Republicans on the baseball day? Can you name him? Give me his name. Give me his name. Well, we don't give the names of mass shooters out of the ways.

Yeah, because you don't remember it. Most people don't remember it. because it really happened and then everybody moved on. But it was a Democratic operative that had worked for Bernie Sanders that had had enough. And now we're hearing this rhetoric of, you know, when they go low, we kick them. Go get them at dinner time. Roger Williams is a representative from Texas. And he was on that baseball diamond when the shooter started to shoot.

at the Republicans, trying to kill the Republicans for political reasons. He's written a great op-ed about it's wrong to promote violence. Welcome to the program. Congressman Williams, how are you, sir? I'm doing great, Glenn. Thank you for having us. So can you tell me what that day was like now a year away from it? Well, it was like it was yesterday to all. of us, of course, but it was, we practice, I'm the coach of the baseball team, we practice every morning, getting ready for a game in June. And I was hitting ground balls to one of my colleagues

at third base, and all of a sudden a boom went off. And, you know, like a lot of people, we thought it was a backfiring of a car possibly, 7.09 in the morning at a very nice area in Alexandria. And all of a sudden, someone yelled he's got a gun head for cover. And my instinct He told me to go to the dugout. It was a real dugout, so I dove into the dugout at that six foot to get away from this guy. He was firing. I ended up with Jeff Flake and Mo Brooks, and he started firing. He fired 60 rounds before anybody fired back.

We were fortunate we had two Capitol Police there that could defend us, but he was firing AK-47 and fired 60 rounds. There was actually no way we were going to live. I mean, he was going to get across the field and assassinate everybody. but a lock kept him from doing that. Nobody knows why the lock was there. But, you know, I got wounded. Of course, we're familiar with Steve Scalise's wounds.

My aide got wounded. Another young man got wounded. Capital Police got wounded. It lasted 10 minutes. And I've had friends of mine say, when you're in war, a battle lasts about two minutes. So it was a life-changing experience. But the idea that somebody could get up that morning,

somebody would go kill people and kill Republicans. Republicans is pretty unbelievable that that's where we are right now. And, of course, everybody thought that was an event that was going to turn things around from a civility standpoint. It did for about 12 hours, and that was that. So anyway, it's a life changer for all of us, and I'm thankful that God was in charge, and he let the perpetrator be the one that lost rather than 25 congressmen. It could have really changed the world. So how do you react when you see, you know, Eric Holder say, you know, when Republicans go low, we kick them and they're cheering to that? Well, you know, it's Eric Holder. It's Pelosi. It's Maxine Waters, who I said she and our financial services committed together.

And when they start telling everybody to, like you say, go low, run people out of restaurants. I mean, I've had all that experience to me also. It's just wrong. shame of it is they haven't been shot at. They haven't been shot. They haven't been wounded. And I take personal, and all of us do, personal problem with it, is they're mouting and they're creating a really, really problem in our country. Civility is the word it keeps being used, but we have no civility. We're not going to get back to where people can agree to disagree in a civil manner. It's just being stirred up. And a lot of it by the liberal left. there's no question about it. So it bothers us. And, you know, I've had my daughter had a wedding

several weeks ago. We had protesters at her wedding. I've been yelled out at restaurants. Let's like a lot of my colleagues. It kind of takes the fun out of this, right? But at the same time, we serve for a lot of different reasons. And I hope we can get back to where we can agree to disagree again. So the bombs or the suspicious packages, Clinton's Obama, Soros, the white, House, now CNN today, Antifa on the streets. I'd have to point out the proud boys, you know, answering that by going out and delivering blows once somebody, you know, throws a punch at them. It doesn't seem like we're getting any better. No, we're not getting any better. And, you know, and it's not right either that President

Obama, President Clinton, President Trump have to have these packages delivered to where they are, where they are. I mean, that is wrong also, you know. I don't know what's going to change it. I gave a speech in Washington the day and came out of the office building where I spoke, and people had thrown bricks through our windshield of our car, of our van, all of it broken and, you know, stole everything that was in it. What do people like, you're sitting on a committee with Maxine Waters, you have to have said to her have you forgotten what happened at the baseball diamond? I mean, have you said these things to her, and how does she respond?

No, I have said it to her, and I've said it to a lot of those on the other side, and they don't respond. They just look at you. I mean, and it's a shame, and the fact of the matter is, I guess they don't want to remember, but I will tell you this about the baseball incident. I travel all over the country, and, of course, as you said earlier, the news cycle goes quick, but there's still people remember and come up to you and say, I'm praying for you, Congressman. I remember I was on that morning when I heard about it.

It was a moment that I don't think is going to leave when it's a moment that shows how low we've gone. But when you mention it to Maxine or you mentioned to some of the others, they have no response at all. And it's just moved on. They just moved on. We were just lucky or whatever. And it's It's a bad, bad environment. It's all generated, I believe, from the dislike of this president. The anger, I mean, rather the president failed than the country succeed. What do you say to people who would say, well, he's engaging in the same kind of rhetoric? Well, I mean, I hear that too.

And I guess I could say there's some things. Probably I don't agree with. We all need to dial it down. But it's not right. And we just needed that. It's just, Glenn, it's hard to say, everybody in their heart needs to look at what we're going through right now. It's not getting any better.

It's not getting more civil. It's who can do more to the other side. And, you know, I guess I would say in my world, it started at the baseball field, and I know who started. And it wasn't a, it wasn't a conservative on the Republican side that started. You know, right before the Civil War, Sumner was, beaten with a cane by a by a uh a congressman in the well of the senate and uh he almost died nobody they didn't they didn't even arrest the congressman nobody said anything about it and in fact

they they made little they took the pieces of wood and made little canes and they wore them around their neck as a as a badge of honor that you know don't mess with our party because we'll beat you to death i mean i i when i read that years ago i thought well we're a long way from civil war but i'm not sure we are that far from that kind of barbarism well unfortunately instead of using canes we're using guns right now and uh you know i mean to go to a restaurant with your family and be yelled at to get on an airplane to go back to D.C. or to come home and be yelled at. What's that feel like? CNN says that's not a mob.

Well, I'll tell you, you can have a mob of hundreds and mob of millions, a mob of one. And, you know, from personal standpoint, I mean, I'm a former athlete. I've got a lot of drive in me, a lot of fire. But, you know, I have found myself just giving in my card and saying, I can't deal with your anger, but if I can ever help you, you let me know. But, I mean, it's restaurants, it's airplanes, it's being on the street. It's pretty unbelievable. But it's way it is, and it's not getting any better.

And many of us now have to have security. And, you know, that's just another level of defense from this attitude of, you know, to heck with America. let's go get them. And if we put a much effort into passing or not passing legislation, reducing regulations, as we do with trying to attack each other, I think we'd see a lot more positive things in Congress. We would. Congressman Roger Williams, thank you very much.

And thank you for your service. And sorry that that has happened to you and your colleagues. and I hope people on both sides will hear your message and recognize that we can all play a role in this based on how we behave. Thank you so much. God bless you. Thank you. You bet.

You imagine working side by side with Maxine Waters? After all that. After all of that. And then hearing her say that. Incredibly infuriating. I would be very upset. I mean, you know, it's like you should be able to live your life and be a representative without being harassed, without being certainly shot at. But, I mean, you know, I don't understand what good they think that does anyway.

I think all it does is make people who are conservatives or Republicans that much more motivated to go out and vote. I hope so. I hope people go out and it's a revolution at the ballot box. I'm going to talk to you a little bit of our sponsor this half hour. It's simply safe. You know, we told you today that the caravan, now the press wants to ignore because it's not going to help them for the midterm elections. And the press is saying that this is a, you know, right-wing conspiracy and they're making too much out of it, yada, yada, yada. No, actually, it's a big deal.

And there's been two more caravans now that are being made so they can follow this one. If we start to have wave after wave coming to our border, what do you think is going to happen to those? What do you think is going to happen? They're let in wave after wave. 5,000, 10,000, 25,000 people. Lawlessness. Lawlessness.

A member of the media has now actually admitted that he shouldn't have dismissed Juanita Broderick's accusation against Bill Clinton.

Now, this is coming from a columnist for the Washington Post. His name is Richard Cohen. He's worked at the Post since 1968. And he just wrote an opinion piece titled, I thought Juanita Broderick wasn't credible. I was wrong. Now, Juanita Broderick is the woman who alleges that Bill Clinton raped her when he was running for Arkansas governor in 1978.

But since the Me Too movement exploded over a year ago, there's been a title shift in the culture. culminating in the tug of war over allegations during the Kavanaugh hearings. Now, one of the biggest takeaways from those hearings, according to those on the left, is that you always must believe the victim. During the hearings, Anita Hill was once again in the spotlight, brought up over and over again, and her accusations against Clarence Thomas universally believed by the media.

Yet somehow, some of Bill Clinton's accusers still haven't been extended the same sympathy as Dr. Blazy Ford, and need a hill. That's really... Why is it so unusual to hear a Bill Clinton supporter admit that they may have been wrong about Broderick? It's 20 years later. Now, this has been obviously influenced by the Me Too movement, but Cohen now admits to dismissing Broderick's claims during the Clinton presidency as just another wild accusation made by

twisted Clinton haters. NBC's Lisa Myers recently told Slate, I tested Broderick's story every way I could again and again and again. I'm quoting. And no detail ever changed. It never got better. It never got worse. It was always the same, end quote. Cohen now wonders why Monica Lewinsky is now totally characterized as a victim, while Broderick is ignored. Isn't that interesting? Monica Lewinsky, who has always says she wasn't a victim, is now the victim. And Broderick, who has always claimed it was not consensual. I was raped.

She's ignored. Cohen says it might have something to do with Broderick being a Trump supporter. Come on. I couldn't have anything to do with it. Cohen writes, I remember refusing to deal with the Broderick allegations because I simply chose to believe Clinton was not a rapist. My position has proved naive. Let me ask you a question.

Unlike Broderick, who had all of the evidence, had witnesses, unlike Keith Ellison, who the witness is very credible, has nothing to gain, everything to lose, the evidence is overwhelming. Those two things you can look at and you can say there's evidence there. You chose to ignore it. With Kavanaugh, there was no evidence. But if suddenly there was a bunch of evidence and it was presented, I would be fine with saying, wow, okay, new information. Looks like Kavanaugh did it. Why is it that no one on the left is willing to do that?

whether dealing with Clinton or the Kavanaugh cases, all political camps should tread carefully in their certainty about the truth. Certainty always seems to get us into trouble. Requires a huge dose of something more elusive than the truth to be able to survive today. And that is humility. Cohen seems to be exercised. exercising humility. And for that, I thank the Washington Post columnist. Thank you for being willing to step out of the crowd, go against maybe some of your peers, and say, you know what? I think we were wrong about this one. Thank you, Richard Cohen.

That's a pretty big moment. We recently went over the details of that Broderick accusation. I'd like to have her on. Yeah, she would come on, I think. Yeah. She, it was interesting to see that because I, honestly, the same thing, had some similar reaction to it at the time in which a lot of the accusations about affairs and stuff seemed credible. But, you know, rapist. I mean, the accusation was really brutal. But at the time, she had five corroborating witnesses that she told at the time.

She talked about seeing a, I think it was a prison in the outside of the window. which was confirmed that prison was there. She was confirmed to be at this nursing conference that was there. He was in town. Like, I mean, there was a lot of, it was unlike the, she knew what hotel it was at. And she knew the time period. I don't know if she knew the exact date,

but everything else she had pretty much locked down. Pretty amazing. I will tell you, I always found her credible. I found her more credible than anybody else. You know, Paula Jones, you know, I don't know. but uh but oneita broadrick i absolutely believed her from the beginning and she has been one woman who has been so wronged over and over and over again this is the glenbeck program i'm just sitting here reading a bio of somebody and we're bringing on and uh this sounds like a prison sentence

Dan Andros spent the last 15 years as head writer for Glenn Beck. What was that like? Holy cow. Well, now I'm free. So this is, yeah, we've been gone for about two years. Yes. And have you learned your lesson? Ready to come crawling back?

Yeah, I think I'm, we're good. We're good. We're good. Okay. You are also the managing editor for Faithwire.com. Yes. And you've done some projects with us. We have an upcoming project on Israel.

but you are here to talk about a project that you're working on about pornography. Yeah, we've created a resource now because, you know, this issue isn't going away. And when you look at culture and you see how broken culture is, the number one area that it's broken in is in issues related to sex and sexuality and gender. I mean, we can't even look at people and say you're a man or a woman. It triggers some sort of reaction and everyone is up in arms about it. And so you have a culture that's gone completely off the rails. And so what we're doing is we've sort of pressed the reset button on that and we've sort of gone back to ground zero. And how did God design sex? How did God design sexuality? And so where we

zeroed in on was porn because we think porn is the main driver of that dysfunction that we're seeing in culture. And the numbers are more staggering now than ever before. And churches, only 9% of churches have actually resources dedicated to it. So that's why we created setfreycourse.com so that people can go and so that hopefully churches use it and take a look at it. And really, it just presses the reset button on how God designed sex. Because, you know, sex is a dirty word often in some circles. But, and people sort of push that over. But God created it.

You know, God designed it for our benefit. It's really quite amazing. We were watching something, I don't remember what it was. And we were, my wife and I were talking about the medieval times. And immediate times, you know, It was a sign of wealth and beauty if your teeth were rotted because they had just discovered sugar. So that meant that you were like full with sugar. You had lots of food.

Yeah. Yeah, you had lots of food. Um, they used to use ear wax as chapstick. Ah. You know. I said, I said, I said, I said, I said to all addiction to sexuality with that comment. I said, Tonya, I said, I can't even imagine kissing or being near somebody back then. God's was brilliant with.

the sex drive because it'd be like you come in and you'd be like no thank you yeah but how do you but how does you know how to be stronger than it is to yes i think you're right but for those who want to tear that apart and tear that vision apart where is the where is the lowest hanging fruit i mean you talk about that sex drive we go off the rails with it what what is the lowest hanging fruit to break up the family and screw up you know sex is sex we're idiot guys we we fall for everything you know it doesn't it take you know it doesn't take much out of your wax is chapstick. That's all right.

Come over here. And the numbers bear this out. I mean, and even among Christians, that's where the shocking thing is. Culture, it's like everyone's got their bro porn now. I mean, the numbers are 80% of people. All people have seen porn, like, you know, especially from guys. But Christians are not immune to this. And so this study from Barnet that came out recently, 65%, two-thirds of Christian men have viewed porn.

They view it about at least monthly. They admit to that. That's an amazing stat. That's two-thirds of Christian men. And the porn is not like when I was growing up, you know, there was one kid that had a Playboy magazine. You know what I mean? You had to shame yourself and go into like some, you know, like concrete, no window building.

And like your car would be there and be like, oh, there he goes into the porn store. Like, no. And it's not that way now. Now it is the worst of the worst. Now it's degrading. Yeah, it's super easy to get at. Everywhere. Everywhere.

And the real show. shocking stat, Glenn, is not only is that the case with technology and the prevalence, but among young people where it's most prevalent, 18 to 24-year-old men, now the numbers show that they view it as a morally acceptable choice or indifferent to it, a majority. So, so. Well, can I tell you something? I mean, you're a guy.

You're being told you can't look at women sexually. You can't notice what they're wearing. you, rape is completely undefined. I mean, you know, I asked you out. You said no, I asked you out a second time and now I'm a rapist. You know, I'm a rapist. I mean, it's crazy and confusing. And I don't know, you know, as a 20-something boy or a 17-year-old boy, what do I?

Well, and people would argue it's consequence free, right? Like, it's just, you know, hop on. I'm not getting yelled that by anybody. I'm not getting into trouble with anybody. I mean, it's consequence free. It's not consequence free. Right, yeah, not at all. I mean, the pastors that are in this course,

you may remember Glenn, I don't know if you know Doug Wilson, but he got famous because he was debating Christopher Hitchens. He went around and he was the apologists, Christian apologists that went around with him. And so he lays that all out about how, you know, destructive this really is to relationships and how it's the silent killer. Because there's a stigma, with pornography.

Like if you go into, you know, your church and your testimony and there's some sort of, you know, like a drug addiction or something like that, you know, there's a lot of sympathy for you you and people, you know, roll out the right. But there's, you know, if you come up and you're the porn guy. Right. You know, it's like, you know, how many, how many times have you seen that testimony at your church? How many times have you seen it? Right.

And so, and so, and actually the numbers in the study show that even church leaders are falling victim to this. So I know. There's a reason why they're not bringing it up. There's a fear that they're going to be found out. too. I know in, you know, in, in, in, in my church and, you know, my church is the goody-tootho, you know, we don't, we drink milk. It's the number one reason families are breaking up. It is the number one cause of, of, of problem is pornography. It starts out as pornography and it just spirals out

of control. I'll say, too, if you're, if you're, you know, if you're having a porn addiction issue, like, you're probably not going to want to stand up in front. You're right, because the stigma is big. I think it's interesting about what you've done. done here is like that the same way that the negatives of what has happened with porn, which is the stigma has been taken away because you can just do it online in your own home. Right. Like this course that you have is kind of the same. It takes away the stigma of having to admit it necessarily.

You can kind of go through and hear these things without having to stand up in front of your church and tell your neighbors about. Honestly, I mean, I know it's really, I know it's, I understand the stigma. But it's the same kind of stigma as you would have as a, as an alcoholic. 25 years ago. Yeah. Yeah. There's,

it is, this is natural, as you said, God gave us this sex drive. And it is different between men and women. And men are driven by their eyes. It, we just are.

We're very visual. Women are not as visual as we are when it comes to sex. And so there's, it's, it's normal. It is normal that you would have this drive. What makes us not an animal. animal is trying to say, okay, some of that is good, some of the too much of this is bad.

Right. Right. And what we're doing is like I said, we're pressing that reset button and showing you where God has laid this out because culture's gone so off the rails. And it's, that's part of that's been infused in the church. I mean, even the stuff you let inside, you know, the stuff we allow ourselves to watch. I mean, because you can talk about pornography and say, oh, hardcore pornography. Yes, that's pornography. But what are you watching on Instagram? Which feeds are you looking at? I mean, is Instagram not like, the women in bikinis showing their butts feed right now? I mean, like, what does that do to your brain when you're just scrolling that all the way through?

I mean, can that be considered porn? I think some people could make that case. This is an argument that, you know, my wife and I have all the time because there's almost nothing that you can watch on, you know, Netflix or Amazon that unless it's an old TV series or something, there's almost nothing that you can watch that doesn't have this. So, you know, just click, click, click, you know, just go ahead and, and, you know, fast forward through some of that crap. And that's the argument is, on my wife, like, don't stop watching. We have to stop watching this.

Honey, let's just zip ahead of this part, you know. But is that right? Right. Is that right? Because it's not, because it's, is the course, like, does it have recommendations for filters? Is it about that type of thing? What's the approach? We mention those things because they're good.

like having internet filters and accountability partners and those things are good. But what we do is we really just try to get to the heart of it because those things are band-aids. The Bible says our hearts are deceitful above all else. So it's your heart's going to find a way. If you're still desiring that, your heart's going to find a way around your filter. You're going to find another device. You're going to know how to do this and that to get around it. So we try to rewire your heart and show you what God, we give you a positive vision to shoot for.

You can't just say don't do it. Right. Give me some of the stats. Well, you know, two-thirds of all Christian men have viewed porn monthly. They admit that. I would assume, too, if that's the admitted number, it's probably not actually just two-thirds. I think it was something like, I don't have one in six church leaders have admitted to struggling with this issue. That's church leaders.

And so, you know, nine percent of churches only nine percent of churches actually have resources dedicated. this. And I believe because, and this is just, you know, me sort of projecting this, you know, and guessing this. But because of that and the rampant, you know, numbers that are here, I think that there's probably a little bit of fear in some of these leaders because they feel hypocritical, you know, coming out and saying, like, let's fight this thing because they know they're struggling it with, with themselves. But I'll give you one more. Kids are being exposed to porn. I mean, my kids went on Siri the other day and actually said something and they misunderstood, Siri misunderstood it and came back with like a sexual thing.

My son was like, what's that all about? So kids are accidentally or intentionally getting exposed to pornography as young as 10 and 11 years old. And they're getting married later. So now think about that. If you start getting into porn at 10, 11, 12 years old and it becomes a habit for you. And then you don't get married until you're 28 or 29 years old. You've been poisoning your brain now in how you view women for, you know, two thirds of your life. Two thirds of your life.

And then now we're expecting these people to be a good husband. And it takes more and more. to excite you. Yes. I mean, it just... It's the gateway. It's the gateway. You start with porn and we look at affairs and that's the other thing that...

Where does that usually start? That didn't start just one day you wake up and say, I'm going to go have an affair with my secretary. It started in the house, in your phone. You know, and like, and we can talk about this, but I guarantee you our voices right now. We're hitting people. The numbers don't lie. The numbers don't lie. We're hitting you.

We're not hitting your neighbor. We're not hitting somebody else. I guarantee you there's somebody sitting in their car listening to this. And it's hitting home right now because it's the silence. killer and you've been walking around with that with that shame and guilt and so that's why we made this course set free course.com because you know god wants you to be free from this he wants you to live you know shame free guilt free from this and he's given you the tools to fight it and so that's what we point you too thank you very much dan thank you thank you for having me yeah he guess he's doing

something with his life after this but set free course dot com is the place to go get it and the Israel thing is coming up too. We're going to be doing to have the Israel documentary. I was talking to Dan a little bit earlier today about some of the experiences of seeing the media as they cover the Palestinians versus the way they cover the Israeli. That wasn't the goal to go over there to cover the media and yet that's what this

documentary became because the media was if you didn't stay with the gaggle you actually you actually observed something of the gaggle that they're just never aware of. Well and even more shocking

Glenn is when the gaggle's there, they get the story wrong. I mean, it was unbelievable to me, you know, because we went there to watch Trump, you know, actually do what the other presidents didn't do and, and open the U.S. Embassy there in Jerusalem. And so that's what we were there for. But then what we saw was how the media concocks a narrative. That's completely false. And I'll tell you a quick story, you know, for some context. I downloaded an app while I was there called Red Alert. And so you can try this at home and test it and see if I'm, see if I'm, full of it. But it's called red alert. And what it does is it, it, you know, you know those annoying alerts you get on your phone when there's like a flood and it's like,

like really loud. Well, it does that whenever a missile or rocket is launched into Israel. Because we wanted to follow. Okay, there's rockets falling down here. We're going to go, we're going to go find where they are. And so I downloaded this app. And so it went off a few times while we were there. I get home. And, you know, all the sudden at like two in the morning, like my phone's just going bananas. And like all day for like three days in a row, like on and off. I'm getting these. I had to delete the app because it was so annoying that I was, that these rockets were getting shot into Israel all the time. You know, and then so what is the media show? So that's the picture. Like there's the context. Like their rockets are flying in from Gaza all

the time. Then the media shows up and it's like, look at these Israeli, you know, evil soldiers, just gunning down innocent hapless protesters there on the, on the Gaza border. Why do you think the Israelis are taking it very seriously when they're burning tires, when they're burning tires and they're trying to break through the fence. They're taking it seriously because all the rest of the days, they're getting rocket shot at them. Dan, thank you very much. All right.

For more than three years, a software vulnerability in the Google Plus social media network gave third-party developers potential access to users' private profile information. Not a problem. Are you one of those people? Google says that more than half a million users who shared their private profile information. who shared their private profile data with a friend, could have had their data accessed. There's no evidence that anybody did,

but it also doesn't have to happen right away. With your personal information from data exposures, criminals can open up accounts, they can file tax returns, they can buy property. There's a million different ways. My wife was just hacked by the Russians. And somebody else, Michelle, I think,

was just attacked by the Russians too. Everything's in Cyrillic now. They've just taken the email and they're sending out mass email. So if you get something, you know, from my wife, it's not her. Oh, I think she sent me something with a really good herbal pharmacy that I thought was great online. That's a good deals. Anyway, this way, new life lock identity theft protection is available.

Today, the Clinton's, Obama, the White House, CNN have all received suspicious packages. We don't know if anything was in these yet. We've gone through this before. We went through this right after 9-11 when suspicious packages were sent to everybody. This has got to stop. It's just got to stop. The violence and the threat of violence on either side is wrong and has to stop. And I hope that all politicians on both sides and all media on all sides

recognize the role that all have played in bringing us here. It's got to stop. Ratchet it down. Glenn, back. Mercury.
