was in the Soviet Red Army, and he had done the unthinkable while at the Battle of Stalingrad. Battle of Stalingrad was one of the worst battles of all time, but they had survived. Now, that was really not only his story, but the eternal and tragic story of his entire people. Gregory was a Jew, and survival was his birthright. This war, some were calling it the second great war to end all wars, was no different. It was just one more calamity that he and his people would have to survive. Gregory's unit had pushed through the Ukraine. They were now on the heartland of the Third Reich.

The sea of German tanks were all scattered before them. Gregory dove into a ditch at the last second while a barrage of tank and mortar fire came screaming through the air. It was then that he noticed something. Although terrifying as the sound of the incoming artillery fire was, it also resembled something extraordinary to him. Music. Gregory shifted his thinking from soldier to musician, and the incoming rounds were transformed within his mind

to notes and stanzas on a sheet of carefully conducted music. It had order, it had purpose, and more importantly, it became predictable. for him. It was his musical mind that allowed both he and his unit to tell where the German rounds were going to strike. That's why he and his unit survived. He would go on to Germany.

He participated in the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps. The people behind the barbed wire were just like him. They were all Jews. while they would survive, their persecution was still not over. The Jews caught behind the Iron Curtain now lived in a state of fear and denial under Stalin. And Stalin required all Jews to register as a Jew on their state papers. So every time Gregory now applied for a job or look for a place to live, an employer or a housing official would take one look at his papers and turn him down

because of the three letters on his papers, J.E.W. Same thing was happening under Hitler. In fact, Hitler, after the night of broken glass or crystal knock, as it's become known as it's, he said that all male Jews needed to now use the first name Israel and all women needed to use the first name Rachel. Why?

Because the state declared it. They did it because they could. Now, Gregory, after liberating Jews from that nightmare, found himself in another nightmare in the Soviet Union. They couldn't eat kosher. They couldn't become rabbis. They couldn't live as God had commanded them. For them, this is the story of the Jewish people.

Just survive. That's why the nation of Israel exists. If people don't understand, that is why. No one ever wants them. No one ever stands for them. They're always the last in line. And so the world decided, let them have this scrap of land. They say, was theirs because of the Bible.

Let them have it. It's uninhabitable. It's just nothing but a desert. there's no oil, there's nothing there, just give it to them. And the Jews happily took it, restored to their homeland, as the only nation on earth, to be wiped off the face of the map, and then to be restored 2,000 years later, exactly as foretold. Israel exists because no one seems to want them.

Israel exists because they have a right to live. So let me go back to Russia and our musical friend. In 1989, 40 years after the Battle of Stalingrad, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society was helping Jews get out of the Soviet Union and go to Israel and to the United States. And they provided lawyers, money to find homes, food, even language classes to help them assimilate in their new country. For the first time ever,

Gregory and the rest of the Jews that he had known that had survived both Hitler and Stalin could concentrate on something more than just surviving. They had a right to pursue their happiness. They could practice their faith. They could be proud of who they were. They could finally live. the group that saved him.

It's the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society. It's the oldest refugee assistance organization in the world. Let me say that again. It's the oldest refugee assistance organization in the world. It was established in the 1800s, and they're responsible for assisting thousands and thousands of Jews. And a few years ago, they opened up their services not just to Jews, but people of all faiths, all faiths, that are person.

and need to be rescued. Their current CEO was asked recently why they decided to do it. His answer couldn't be more perfect. We no longer help refugees because they're Jewish. We help refugees because we are Jewish. The reason why I'm telling you this story is this is the organization that a madman went into Philadelphia to try to stop. This is the organization that was attacked on Saturday morning at the Tree of Life Synagogue. Story never seems to end.

Eleven people were killed in the deadliest attack on Jews in our country's history. Stories like Gregory filled the synagogue that Saturday morning. The horrors they collectively endured. Unimaginable to most people. And yet here we are again. The group of people who now have to concentrate just on one thing. Survive. Antisemitism is evil.

Anti-Semitism is a disease. Anti-Semitism is as old as the world. From the moment God said, I will make you my people. There has been anti-Semitism. and it is on the rise as it always is in times of nationalism and socialism. Every time the Jew is the canary in the coal mine, they are always the first. And if the world doesn't pay attention at that point, it's washed in blood. If the world decides they need to come for the Jews, I proudly declare myself a Jew.

The world makes promises all the time and they don't ever intend on keeping them. But I do. We said never forget. I've told you, you are the audience that will in the end restore the republic, save the republic. And it's not going to be through violence. The world is going to become more and more violent. We must be a unique and. peculiar people because the vast majority of Americans know this is not who we are. This is not who we want

to be. And we will stand shoulder to shoulder with our Jewish brothers and sisters. We will stand shoulder to shoulder with our Christian brothers and sisters in the Middle East. We will stand shoulder to shoulder with a Muslim that is being rounded up by the Chinese. The cycle of hate has begun again. And it's not Donald Trump and it's not Barack Obama. It's a cycle that has been running since the beginning of time. And the world always acts the same way. Because it always comes in a time of chaos. It always comes in a time of fear. It always comes in a we cycle when forget the individual. It's what's best for all of society. It's why our founders came here in the first place. It's why our founders defended the Jews. We're a different country. We're a different

people. We're not better than the rest of the world. We just see things differently. And if we don't shame on us. Our pilgrims came here thinking that they were completing the journey from the Red Sea. Our first great seal of the United States was the pillar of fire and Pharaoh's horses and the parting of the Red Sea. I don't want to just survive. I don't want to do something to earn a living. I want to live.

FDR said, This generation has a rendezvous with destiny. I echo those words. Our generation must be the generation that breaks this cycle. There is no one else in the world who will do it. Who will stand against this onslaught? Who will stand against the hatred and the nationalism and the collectivism? The extermination of people.

that just aren't good enough. We are headed that way. We are headed that way. Once you cannot talk to your neighbors, once the other side has nothing to offer, you have to eliminate them. Because they're the devil. They're the devil.

And you cannot deal with the devil. Will the 60 to 80% of this country stand up? They never, ever have. They never. ever have. It was 20%. 20% for the American Revolution. Most people

stood on the sidelines. There was another 20% that wanted the king. We have a rendezvous with destiny. Let us be the generation that finally breaks this chain. It's Monday, October 29th.

You're listening. to the Glenn Beck program. I want to talk to you about getting your life back from pain. If you are in pain, you know, man, it is, it's hard to concentrate on anything. It's hard to sleep. You get up in the morning and you're like, oh, it's going to be a hard day. Get your life back. Tanya and I started taking something called Relief Factor about a year ago.

I am not somebody that usually believes in, you know, well, it's 100% natural. Yeah, right. Okay. So you grab some dandy lines and now. I'm going to eat them and it's supposed to be great. Wonderful. This is 100% drug-free created by doctors as four key ingredients that helps your body fight against inflammation.

I took it for three weeks. That's what they recommend. Take it for three weeks. You take it three times a day. Take it for three weeks. If it doesn't work for you, move on. If it does, you've gotten your life back. That's relief factor.

70% of the people, including me that tried it just for three weeks, go on to order more month after month after month. So if you want your life back, if you want a drug-free and natural way to ease your pain, try it. You have nothing to lose and everything in your life to gain. Relieffactor.com. Go to relieffactor.com. Welcome to the program. I'm glad you're here. You know, I, was anybody else disturbed by how the media has handled the weekend news? I mean, Friday, we had, we caught the guy who was doing the pipe bombs.

The guy's clearly nuts, clearly nuts. And I, I strangely found myself feeling bad for him and not in any other way. other than look at how twisted this life has become. Yeah, and also seems like by all understanding of him right now, he was just an utter failure in life. Right. From a million other reasons. I mean, I don't feel, and he's getting absolutely what he deserves.

Absolutely. But I could see what you're saying there. Yeah, he's just, I mean, he was, he was, you know, a misfit his entire life. I mean, he's the, he is the quintessential example of a guy who goes out and kills. He's mad at society because he's never felt like he has fit in. And look how the press just, what do they do? They made this into Donald Trump. Made this into Donald Trump.

Now, that one is at least you could draw a line from the idea that he, no, this is nothing. He was at the rallies. It's not Trump's fault or anything, but at least he was a Trump supporter. The guy who did the shooting at the synagogue, they're trying to do the same thing. He outwardly hated Trump. Outwardly hated him. he posted on social media

about how he was really just assisting the Jews that he that people thought he talked a good game but in reality he was helping Jews and we need to stop it he hated the guy and they're still trying to turn it into his fault if a giant cartoon safe fell on Donald Trump today

and he was removed from the earth all these problems would still exist this is not Donald Trump Donald Trump Donald Trump is a symptom. There is a sickness in our society. Our political system is nothing more than a reflection of us. And people are alone. They're tired. They're afraid. They don't want to be stuck in the

middle between two parties that are blaming each other for everything or blaming them. you know why America is a little upset right now? They're tired of being blamed. They're out here busting their ass. They're out here working every single day, trying to raise their kids, trying to figure out how to navigate and keep their children safe

while in a prison system called school that is teaching and undoing everything that most parents believe. They come home, they're tired, they don't know how to solve it, They're overwhelmed. Society is just pouring into their house with media and social media. And then they have to sit and they have to watch people screaming at each other on TV.

And there's nobody actually answering questions. There's nobody actually offering a solution. None of these things anybody is talking about is a solution. It's just blame the other side. And most Americans are tired of it because they're the ones getting blamed. they're the ones that are racist. They're the ones that are misogynistic. They're the ones, excuse me?

We're just out of here busting our ass trying to make a living. Well, you freaks are living it high on the hog on our tax dollars. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But what's happening in our society is a symptom. We are unfortunately. sick. We welcome to the program, Mr. Pat Gray. Hello, Pat. How are you?

Hello, Glenn, I'm good. How was your weekend? It was, it was not great. Really? Why, why not? It was, you know, bad football games, experiences everywhere I went. What do you, what do you mean? Experiences everywhere you're not having a hard time talking out and speaking truth. No, no, that's the easiest thing in the world right now. Sure, sure it is. Sure it is.

This weekend, I had a really, I really had a difficult time. I mean, I just, did you guys watch the news at all this weekend? No. As little as possible. Right. A little bit because of the shooting. Just because of the, I get the updates, but yeah. Yeah, so only to get the updates on stuff, I don't know who's watching cable news anymore.

Yeah, I never watch cable news anymore. Never. Never. Never. You see the highlights. I get the clips, but I don't, I don't actually sit there and watch Fox News. I can't. CNN or heaven forbid MSNBC or CNN can't watch it.

I don't know who's, I don't know who's doing that. I don't, I really don't know who's doing that. I think Trump fans watch Fox, you know, because it's a safe haven, mostly, unless you watches Shepard Smith. It's always been that way. But I don't know who watches CNN. I don't know who does because that's, it's unwatchable. It's the people who hate Trump, right?

Yeah, I guess so. The only reason I ever turn any of that stuff on is for the show, you know, because we're supposed to be aware of it, right? So you do that occasionally, but certainly, if I was not in this business, I don't know why I would bother with any of that. Oh, I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I barely do down. The synagogue thing is literally it's how many questions, count how many questions it is until they can get to a question about why it's Trump's fault. Like they had Joe Lieberman on this morning. And Lieberman is like, you know, I said it very slowly. I'm Joe Leber. But he's like, you know. Did he? He didn't go there, did he? No. So the first question was, you know, what about the, what's going on, you know, give us your opinion?

And he's like, you know, look, I live in a country as a Jew where I was basically anti-Semitism free my entire life. I ran for president and senator. I was a winning senator in a state with 2% Jewish population. And I never felt anti-Semitism my entire life. And he's like, you know, we have to make sure that we don't, we don't have that, blah, blah, blah. This is a terrible tragedy. then they're like, well, what part of that do you think is the climate of today? And Lieberman, to his credit, was like, look, first of all, we need to make very clear that this shooter outwardly hated Donald Trump.

He was not like Donald Trump. He was not a fan of Donald Trump. They're still tying him to him. Yeah, but he's like, more broadly, we do have this problem with discourse. And I think that's true. I mean, I think that's obviously true, that overall are. discourse is pretty terrible at the moment. But it, again, has nothing to do with this.

And all these cable news networks are obsessed with telling you that it does. They're obsessed with telling you. Why? Well, we don't want to blame it on Donald Trump. I'm just saying it's Donald Trump's fault. Right. I mean, that's kind of what it is. It really is what they do.

We never said that about Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders, the guy was working for Bernie Sanders campaign. And he went out and he shot all of the GOP. Shot Scalise and another guy and tried to. trying to kill 30 Republicans. Right. That's one tenth of the Republicans in office. And he was working for Bernie Sanders.

We never said that was Bernie Sanders fault. No. We never said that. And neither did they. And neither did they. Yes. Of course not. They didn't even talk about it in fact.

Because they had a very balanced view of that one. They understood that individuals were responsible for their own actions that time. That's right. They understood that then. They just don't understand it now because now it does not benefit them. And they always complained about discourse. Isn't that a great example of terrible discourse? Yes.

We were consistent on both of these things, right? If a republic, now the pipe bomb thing, thankfully didn't get anybody hurt. But, you know, we did see that with the Bernie Sanders situation. But both situations, we said the individual is responsible. The discourse is an interesting aside because overall it's not healthy for a country, but it's got nothing to do with these individual shootings. It's got nothing to do with it. You do not, you do...

Discourse does not commit murder. Doesn't happen. So the reason why we brought Pat in this morning is because, you know, he's doing more on trivia. And more on trivia is always a laugh. And so we wanted to find out how it went on Friday, Pat. Yeah, it's, you know, it's a chance to get away from the discourse for a little while for like an hour a week. And just be mean to people. Yeah, and just be mean to people.

Find out how dumb they are. It's great. That's not the scientific justification. So on Fridays on the Pat Gray podcast, the Pat Gray Unleashed podcast, and on the radio and television network, he does more on trivia. And we have just a taste of how things worked out calling convenience stores and asking them, you know, pretty obvious questions. Brianna, hi. Hi.

We're going to ask you four quick questions. If you don't know the answer, just take a guess and you can't ask anybody for help, okay? All right. Okay. What does D.C. stand for as in Washington, D.C. That's tough. Something about batteries. It's almost impossible.

Nobody's ever got that way. I know. Yeah. It stands for doches of Congress. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Question number two.

How many British colonies in America were there in 1770? So, 26. 22. 22? Oh. So close. So close. It was 21 because Rhode Island wasn't a thing yet.

Oh, damn it. I know. I know. I wanted to give it to you, but they wanted an exact number. All right. Question number three. What animal do hamburgers come from? Chow.

Thank you. Hey. Got cows. Thank you. I thought it was... Some of the hamburgers from cows. Others come from gerbils. But we're going to give it to you anyway.

Because I think it's about a 50-50 split cows and gerbils. All right. Question number four, Brianna. What is socialism? Yeah, socialism. No one never knows. It's what? Communication.

Communication. Right. This is close. That's close. It's close. You're not going to give it to? No, I can't give it to it. It's a specific kind on Instacat.

Oh, wow. We're looking for the specific. See, Brianna, you live in California. You're actually living socialism as we speak. Right. Right. Oh, my gosh. And you thought you were depressed about the country before we played that call.

More on trivia, you can hear it with Pat Gray Unleashed. Every Friday. Every Friday on the Blaze Radio and TV network. Do we ask what the season record is? Six and two. Not bad? Yeah, it's pretty good.

It's pretty good. We barely lost on the Packers. Packers against the Rams. Just like that two-point loss on that one. They had that game too. Yeah, they did. Thank you very much, Pat. Thank you.

Good morning, gentlemen. How are we this morning? Very good. Very good. Well, I first of all have to say that I love you all. I've been listening and watching you for years,

and this is truly an honor, and I can't believe I got through the first time I ever tried to call. So this is awesome. Well, Susie, I'm glad you love us, but I'm in love with you. Oh, thank you. Oh, wow, Stu. He's pandering. I just celebrated my 22nd anniversary with my husband, but you know what? I can always be persuaded. Okay. go. Let's talk after the second.

Wow, okay. Oh, it sounds great. Sounds great. Anyway, as I told your screencaller, I am one of the good ones from Cleveland to begin with, and what you said before your first break, I was hallelujah and amen and thank you for up to the rafters because that is something that we have been feeling for a very, very long time and for someone in your position to actually say it out loud. And don't you dare apologize for that?

Oh, I'm not going to apologize for that. You know me, you know me well enough to know on that one. I'm never going to bend on that one. In fact, repeat it. Consistently, just repeat it. It was fabulous. And again, it was, you know, I've wanted to call for so many times. And that just made me just pick up the phone and say, hallelujah.

Well, thank you. Great. Thank you. So are you coming to the show in Cleveland? What is it? Saturday? No, it's Sunday. Are you coming?

No, because we're going to be out of town. to be out of town, really, because I was going to offer you free tickets. Oh, seriously? Oh, now all of a sudden you're interested. Well, maybe we can change our, I change your plans. I've got free tickets for you if you want, if you would like them. Are you serious? I am serious.

Go as my guest. That would, I'll change my plans. Okay. Yes. All right, good, good, good, good, good. All right, good. Thanks, Susie. We'll see you.

What is it Sunday? Cleveland, I think is Sunday, yes. It's gladback.com slash tour, by the way, for the tickets and the details on where we're going to be. You should come join us. It's going to be fun. There's a lot of election stuff to talk about. Lots.

Good stuff. Yes. We're given gift from the gods as far as material goes. The nations turn completely insane. So it makes comedy fairly easy. I'm excited about it. Yes, it does. And Pittsburgh, we've got something special for you.

We're going to have laughs and comedy, but also I am taking all of the proceeds from the event and we're giving them to, I'm not sure if we're going to give them to the synagogue or to the refugee group. I'm not sure who we're going to give them to yet, but we're, we're standing with Israel. And so the proceeds to your tickets will be going to a local Jewish, center, perhaps the synagogue. I'm just not sure. An odd stance from an anti-Semite like you. Why would you do that when you hate Jews so much? I noticed you went back and forth. He had a little issue with a reporter from GQ this weekend. Oh, did I?

Julia something or other said that she was, she's a little upset about this and basically blamed anyone who's ever criticized. I think it was George Soros, she mentioned. And I remember her. And you came back and said, this is, you know, completely ridiculous. Like, it's nothing to do with that. Like, we, you know. And then she posted, here's an example of Gladbeck supporting the Jewish people and posted a clip of one, of your criticism of one Jewish person, George Soros, as an example of how much you hate the Jews. Now, I did respond, because I found an example of you supporting the Jewish people as well when you won the Defender of Israel Award.

That was, I thought, a national award, one of the highest. most prestigious awards for someone defending the Jewish people. Right. But beyond that, it was just, it was just presented by the prime minister of Israel, though. Well, that's it?

Oh, okay. That's not a big one. That's not a big one. It's just amazing, you know, because this is not just a criticism of you, and it's not just this one dopey reporter. It's all over the place.

And this idea that if you criticize George Soros, that you are an anti-Semite is completely insane. If you are a conservative, and the people in this audience, I would believe all would fall into this category. Many of them would criticize George Soros, but they criticize him because he's a liberal, has progressive policies. He supports policies that we disagree with. So we are criticizing him for those reasons.

And it found him to be dangerous all around the world. All around the world. He has a very shady history around the world. But anti-Semites hate George Soros too. In some ways, there are things in common there. However, they don't like him because he's a Jew. the same way they don't like Ben Shapiro because he's a Jew. We love Ben Shapiro because he's supporting the policies that we like.

I don't understand racism. I mean, you can get to know people and hate them for valid reasons. Right. You know, like Carl Marx. I don't like Carl Marx. He was Jewish. I don't like him. Not because he was a Jew.

No. But because he came up with the idea of communism. I'm not a fan. No. Not a fan. Not a fan. And the, like, these liberals have never criticized. Ben Shapiro before?

Is that because they're anti-Semites? No, it's because they don't like what Ben Shapiro says. They would love what Ben Shapiro, if he was a liberal, and they don't like him because he's a conservative. Is this distinction difficult for people? Can you really not understand? I mean, we all know they can understand it, right? It's not.

They all understand it. They're just trying to use this to make it look like conservatives or anti-Semites. You're telling me, with, you know, Sheldon Adelson, right? Here's a guy who's one of the biggest financiers of the Republican Party. Have you ever seen a word of criticism from liberals about him? Of course you have.

Does that make them anti-Semitic? No, it does not. It does not. You can criticize just like when they criticize Clarence Thomas. Are they racist? No, they don't like Clarence Thomas's legal opinions because they don't support what they believe. It's not about, it is trying to make these into cartoon art.

arguments is such a, it's, again, this is another example of horrible discourse. Yes. They complain about how bad Donald Trump has made the discourse. You're calling everyone who is criticizing the main liberal and progressive funder in America, and you're calling everyone who does that an anti-Semite. How is that possibly in the realm of positive discourse? It's completely disingenuous. And they know it is.

They know it's not true. And they go on television and they say it anyway. in this time, in the middle of a tragedy, they say it anyway because they don't care. That is exactly what they claim to be against and they do it every day. Wow. I didn't hear a solution there, Stu. Go to Saturn? I don't know.

That's what I have at this point. We're going to talk about one when we come back. Glenn Beck is coming live to talk about the right path forward and to make fun of the people standing in the way.

has surrendered to the unwavering demands of a small group of PC babies who have screamed and wailed and moaned that Apu character is culturally insensitive. They've won. A few weeks ago, South Prairie. Park had an episode about it. Two PC parents give birth to five PC babies, and the PC babies throw tantrum anytime somebody offends them, and the tampons don't stop until the babies get exactly what they want, resulting in the people of South Park having to banish one of their oldest, most offensive

characters, and they send him to the Simpsons. Yes, that cesspool of racism and hatred. Yes, we live in a world where a group of coddled, whiny people have determined. that the Simpsons is hateful. The freaking Simpsons. The same group that when people said, I don't know if Bart is a good role model, they told us to shut up.

Now they find it offensive. I mean, who's next? Ned Flanders, that white supremacist cisgender man, symbol of the patriarchy? No, because that's making fun of him, so he'll stay. Mo, the bartender? Why is he taking the job of a minority woman transgender?

Where's the diversity here? Because in the world of PC babies, and with every small surrender like this one, the world becomes theirs, just a little bit more. And it's the way they want comedy. Comedy should adhere to the cultural sensitivity, to the rigorous standards of postmodern social doctrine. Comedy is not answering to the people, it's answering to a group of postmodernist crybabies.

What are we doing? In a few weeks' time, they'll be demanding that the show now feature more racial diversity, more transgender characters, fewer white or actually yellow characters, fewer police, more professors. The plot lines will take subjects like Marxism, Veganism, toxic masculinity, all into consideration. Oh, I'm sure. and cultural appropriation, oh, the idea that got us into this mess to begin with. The show will become Lisa.

Well, not Lisa, because even Lisa, who's a stereotype of the annoying PC kid who ruins the fun for everyone, even Lisa isn't PC enough. It's not going to be the Simpsons at all. The Simpsons, they should all just quit. But I will tell you, if they're not. don't it'll be the most culturally sensitive most forward-thinking TV show ever made it'll be the crowning achievement of the social justice movement and not one single moment of it will be enjoyable funny or watched it's monday october 29th you're listening to the glenbeck program i'm glad to

you brought up the appoo thing by the way on the simpsons did you see the reaction from the people who started this movement who did this, you know, documentary, the problem with a poo or whatever in the article where they, you know, Simpsons are getting rid of this character reportedly. We'll see if that actually happens. It seems like it is. And their reaction was,

oh, we didn't want him to get rid of the character. So now they're complaining about the fact that their little movie got this character removed from the show. Now they're complaining about it. Oh, we just wanted him to be, I mean, basically what they're saying is, no, we don't want you to get rid of him.

We just wanted to write everything that he says. Well, I mean, that's not something the Simpsons signed on for. Yeah. You're not running around. Sorry. That's unbelievable. And this is a great lesson for everyone who tries to please. St. Megan Kelly, I think, is same type of thing, right?

You can't, no matter what you say, they're never going to be pleased. The people who come after you for these nonsensical PC issues will never be pleased no matter what you give them, no matter what apology you say, no matter how sincere it is, no matter, they're not asking you to remove a poo. They're not asking you to change. They're asking for something

that you can't possibly give them. And the earlier you realize that, the better. Let me change the subject to enough is enough. When America will enough be enough? New polls. Americans fed up. Cray unity amid violence. Now, this one should terrify you because 57% now say they want a third party.

They want unity. That number is even higher. But I'm not sure people actually mean this. I'm not sure what unity even means. They say that we no longer really agree on the core value. of our country, which I think is actually true. We don't agree on core values. But what are those core values?

Anybody know? What are the values that brought it? What are the things that we're actually arguing about now? Way things are going in the United States, 25% are satisfied. 58% dissatisfied. The state of politics, 9% satisfied. 77% dissatisfied. 13% are like,

duh, percentage that say Americans are united and agreement about the most important values, 15%. 15% of us say we're united on the most important values. My question is, what are those values? Sincerely, what are we fighting for? Are we fighting for lower taxes?

Here's what the survey shows where we divide on our, quote, most important values. Politics in this country. It's politics of value? Moral ethics in our country. Is that a value? Race relations. Gap between rich and poor. The state of the news media.

The way things are going in the U.S. the environment, the way things are going in your state, rights for LGBT, status of religion, homeland security, with an exception of a couple, those aren't values, those are issues. That's a political campaign. And perhaps that's what we're missing. See, I firmly believe, and I wrote this in the book Addicted to Outrage. We have a few things we have to decide. We have to decide one.

It's the Western world worth saving. Is freedom as our founders saw it? Is it worth saving? Yes or no? And I don't want you just to, you know, jump off and yeah, absolutely. Why? Why? Why is it worth saving?

Who can articulate this? why is it worth saving? How has it changed the world? In specifics, who can make that case among us? Who's making that case to their kids at dinner at night? In specifics, is America a good place or a bad place? We have to decide because half of the country says it's a great place. Half of the country says, and I don't even know if these numbers are accurate and half, I doubt they are half.

but let's just say half the country says it's a bad place half the country says it's a good place which are we sincerely which are we we have to choose don't we because it's a binary choice isn't it we're good or bad right

it's a binary choice you have to choose one no no you don't it's not a binary choice the answer is we're both we're both we've been both bad and

good. We've had really good intentions and the pathway to hell is paved in good intentions and we have great intentions now. On both sides we have great intentions. What are we going to do with those intentions? Because you rarely live up to them. Have you heard anyone actually make the case for America? And not just in red, white and blue, flag-waving terms, but why is America important? Why is the Constitution worth fighting for? Because if we don't know, let's just get on with it, man. Let's just move on.

I'm, we cannot sit here and argue about the greatest issues of our time. We don't have our basic, well, I want to make sure I have this right. our basic essential values in line. Like climate change? You can say one of our values is how do we treat each other and how do we treat the earth? Okay, that's a value. That's not climate change. Climate change comes off of that value in principle.

Climate change is, okay, is there, a problem? Is there a problem? Well, I'm sorry, but the science is not settled. The climate is constantly changing. It always has. That's why we had the ice age. Where were the SUVs for the Ice Age? It always changes. Now, can we do things that can affect the climate? I don't know. Some people say we can. Some people say we can't. The evidence is spotty at best, and you can't trust the evidence that is there because we have too much evidence of collusion and coercion in the scientific field. You give me clean cut studies? Okay. But that's not even what we're arguing about. We're arguing about what to do about it. See, they keep making about, you know, whether it's

happening or not. I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. I'm willing to say, okay, it's happening. All right, it's happening. What do you want to do about it? Well, the solutions are insane. The solutions don't work. Now, that is a political discussion. That is a political discussion. You know where our values come in on that particular discussion? When someone says the science is settled, shut up. That's the vital. That's the vital. violation of our values. When people sit down at the table and say, look, I care about the environment. I really do. I disagree with the science. And here are the people on my side that are showing you that this is coercion, this is collusion, and that your system that you're, your, your,

your, your, your, your, your, your, your, your, your, your, your, your, your, your, your, your, your, your, your, and it doesn't work. That's a political discussion. Those are the things we should have. What brings us together at the end are the values. We both care about the earth. Who doesn't care about the earth? Sincerely.

Who doesn't care about the earth? And I'm tired of being lectured by people who will go and protest and leave a sea of garbage behind them. for others to keep and clean up. I'm sick of it. Don't tell me you care about the environment. And then after a protest, everything is nothing but litter. You either care about it or you don't. Words don't mean anything anymore.

Only actions do. Don't tell me what you believe. Show me what you believe. By doing the tough thing. And you know what the tough thing is right now? The tough thing is not saying something that's pleasing to your crowd. The tough thing is to say the things your crowd doesn't want to hear but are right and no one is saying them. That takes courage.

That takes conviction. That takes honesty. That takes compassion. That takes empathy. Those are values. So what are our values? How do we find them? Are they even worth finding that?

that question has to be answered first. We'll go there next. So control of the House and the Senate are at stake in the midterms. It is up to us to find the most qualified candidates for the jobs. I wish we had ZipRecruiter that could just send us their resumes. And we could go, I don't want to hire that person. I wish it was, I wish we took it like that instead of like a team sport. Well, you hired this guy.

so you've got to hire that guy too. I don't want that guy. Yeah, that'll be a nice way to go through it, actually caring about the policies that they are into, and that would be, that would be fascinating. It would be. It would be. ZipRecruiter doesn't want you to wait for the candidate to find you

when it comes to your business. They'll go out and find them for you.

That's ZipRecruiter.com slash BECK. ZipRecruiter.com slash Beck. Bad country or a good country?

See, that's the question we have to ask now. Is the Western way of life we're saving? Is it good? Is it nothing but a bunch of cisgender males, white males, white Europeans that have oppressed people? Is that all it is? Can I ask you, Stu, when do you think World War II officially started? When did it really start? Start?

So not our involvement in it? Yeah, not our involvement. Oh, God. I mean, the date I'm not going to get right. Yeah, just give me an event. God, that's a tough one. Would you say Germany invades Poland or, you know, breaks the treaty with, you know, Church, Chamberlain or Berlin Treaty?

So you're talking events that lead into other events. I mean, you could go a million different places in that area. I'll give you one. How about when Japan invaded China happened in 37? If you live on that side of the earth, you think World War II started then. Japan invaded China, Manchuria. They said the only problem with Manchuria is all the Manchurians. That sounds familiar.

And so they invaded and they started a mass slaughter, mass slaughter. All of the, you know, the bad bombings of civilians. That happened years before we were doing it or the Germans were doing it. It started in 37 in China with the Japanese. Well, where was the white man? Now, you know where the white man was? You know how history reflects this now? America didn't say anything at the time.

America didn't step up to the plate and stop the slaughter in China. So wait a minute. Hold it just a second. So are we supposed to get involved in everything or are we not supposed to be involved in everything? When we get involved, you blame us for getting involved and saying we're trying to jam our stuff down everybody's throat. When we don't show up, you blame us for not showing up. Either way, according to you, we violated, quote, our values. What are our values?

Well, our values used to be We are enemy of no one, friend all Now that gets a little dicey Gets really dicey Didn't get dicey Apparently when the Japanese invaded China Yeah, that's because they only care about Europe

No, actually no We couldn't fight on all of the fronts we had to choose. We didn't even want to go save Europe. America didn't even want to go into that war. Well, how could you? Oh my gosh. How could you?

It's Europe. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. We're supposed to go save the white patriarchy. Wait a minute. We're to blame for all of that because we didn't go in and save the white hierarchy. I thought you just said that was bad and should be destroyed. Is America bad or?

good. Let's have that discussion. Glenn, back. Mercury. A couple things I want to address before we get off the air today. There's so much to talk about. We've got to talk about Twitter and what they're doing now. Because it brings the

point that I was just making home about what are our values and what are the problems that we're trying to solve. They're different. People are now saying that, you know, the problem is that Americans don't agree on basic values and principles anymore. Well, I agree with that, but nobody even is talking about those.

When's the last time you heard anyone really talking about values or principles in the mainstream media? Tell me, last time you heard that talked about on Fox or on CNN or MSNBC. Tell me. Defending basic principles. What are those principles? Well, American principles we used to find self-evident. that all men are created equal. So you want to talk about the shooting in Pittsburgh?

Great. That guy has violated American principles. All men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. Well, one of those rights is religious. their right to pursue God the way they pursue God. Now, how about the principle

violated by the bomber? Crazy guy. Crazy guy. Well, all men are created equal and endowed by their creator of certainty and a liberal rights among these. Freedom of speech. Freedom of expression. Freedom of assembly.

Freedom to petition your government. Well, I do. don't like what those Democrats are saying. I don't like what the media is saying, but they have a right to say it. So do you target them for death? No. Not if you want to talk about principles. Everything else is about politics.

Now, we could talk about his mental health, and that would be something else that would be a very valid topic. We got to talk about mental health in America. Americans are feeling more and more alone, more and more isolated. Communication is going through the roof. But none of those are principles. Do we take care of one another? Well, that's a golden rule, isn't it? That's the golden rule.

See, we just assume that, and we were awake for a while, and I'm not sure if we are as wake as we think we are now, we woke up and we really we really learned I think under Barack Obama but now many of us have gone back to sleep because okay our side is in charge and so they'll take care of it

no no they won't that is the problem no they won't we are the answer they are not the answer we are the answer and you're not going to learn this through osmosis found an incredible thing happened to me my son finally got into American history.

And I couldn't wait because I'm thinking, okay, he's going to slam. This is going to be the easiest thing ever, American history, living in my house, going to my speeches, listening to me, you know, helping me pack things up for speeches, you know, all of these rare documents going with me and being in the museum, going through the museum, even giving tours in the museum. I thought this is going to be easy. Nope. Constitution? Nope.

Declaration of Independence? Nope. He's heard it a million times. Nope. I'm starting a class at my house tonight. All of my kids. Yeah, even the 30-year-old. They're all coming to my house every Monday night. The little teeny kids, the grandkids are going to bed. The minute those kids are in bed, class starts. So they're going to be a test dad? Yep, you damn right.

there's going to be a test and it's pass or fail. Oh, good. If you get one wrong, you fail. And you got to take it all over again with me. We need to know the basic principles. I'm going to be talking about some of these principles on our tour. We're going to have a lot of fun, but I also am going to talk about the principles and how our country came together.

And why? Why it's worth fighting for? What are we fighting for? Come. come we go on tour i think it starts thursday we're in thursday we're in uh richmond then we go up to heresy pennsylvania then on saturday we're going to be in pittsburgh i'm taking all of my profits and proceeds all of it is going to go uh to the jewish community in pittsburgh uh we have some special things planned actually for each night but especially in pittsburgh

grab your tickets join me in pittsburgh and then sunday night is in cleveland bring your kids. Bring your kids. You want them to learn? You want to laugh? Great, we're going to laugh. You want to learn and teach your kids? Bring your kids to Glennbeck.com

slash tour. So Twitter today has said that they're thinking about getting rid of the like button. Okay, well, how the hell is your algorithm work without the like button? Isn't that the point? So you don't like what the, you don't like the outcome? Well, okay. And then the idea is you're incentivizing people to say things in the most inflammatory way.

Right. So that they get likes from their followers and it's incentivizing an unhealthy conversation. No. Twitter is not a healthy conversation. No way. Who did Jack? Did you think of that? Good for you, Jack.

So they're now looking, what can we replace the like button with that will further decent conversation? This isn't a value. This isn't a principle. It is our principles and values that have gone wrong. We don't mind shouting at each other. We don't mind treating people like they're not really human. We don't mind that. Not on Twitter.

Say whatever you want. Do whatever you want. Ah, like that. He's putting them in their place. It feels good. You know what would fix Twitter? You know what they should do? They should come up with something called,

if they could just promote something like like the golden rule due unto others see that's the problem we're at the surface hey how come people are screaming at each other what happened to the foundation that kept us together in the first place

what helped us cure the ills of our society when we had racism what cured it our faith, our belief in the golden rule. Those are our principles, America, and those are the things that nobody wants to talk about. Even your church doesn't want to talk about those.

Your church should be talking about politics all the time, but not who to vote for. Just look at the ills of society. Here's what's happening. What's causing that? I can guarantee you almost every time it's because we've deviated from first the Bill of Rights and second, and it actually is building the other way, the foundation, is the basic idea behind Judeo-Christian values.

Be good to each other. Help one another. Love one another. You're worthy. You're capable. Every time we've had a problem. The Civil War, how was that stopped? By Bible-bel believing people.

Yeah, well, Bible-believing people. people also took it the other way. Of course that always will happen. Look at how many people have taken and twisted the Constitution to say things that it doesn't say. Of course. That's people. What's the essence of what God is telling us? What is the essence of why I swear to you, every almost, except for the taxes, almost everything after the 10th Amendment is just a repeat. We think we're coming up with new things. Yeah, well, we need an amendment now to say that blacks can vote. Slavery shouldn't happen.

Really? Do we? Not if you understood the first ten. It's all covered there in the first ten. Just doesn't say, okay, for you people who are stupid, that means black people too. Women can vote. It's time we say women can vote. Well, women voted in the colonial era.

They did not? Yes, they did. They did not. Yes, they did. Well, we needed an amendment to tells the women give a vote. Okay, for you who are too stupid, it didn't understand the first ten. Yes, women, yes, that's the same thing. That didn't mean all men are created...

They meant all people are created equal. Isn't that funny? Yes. You're so cute. Well, I mean, they weren't voting at that time, which is why they put the amendment in there, right? You know, slavery was going on, which is why they did it. But your point is they needed to clarify what the actual original thoughts were. Those are only clarifications. Those are only clarifications. When we said all men, we created equal, we blew it by, you know, not including black men in that.

So no more slavery. Right. Right. That is. We didn't blow it. You didn't understand it. They understood it. The founders were very clear, very clear. What is it about Thomas Jefferson when they have the Constitution and it doesn't stop slavery? It only stops the slave trade.

What part of, because I know God is just, I tremble for my country, what part of that as it was disagreement to that, which was why they didn't ban it in the original document? Right? I mean, you know, I, yes. Like, that's the issue. And I think like that, it erased that disagreement. I think what you're saying is that that was, because that was absolutely Jefferson's intent to get rid of slavery. Absolutely. It's unquestionable. I mean, you read his writings on the topic. It's unquestionable. He read the first draft of the Declaration of Independence and his handwriting changes. Oh, yeah. It gets big and angry. He's angry. Yeah. And so it's unquestionable. But, you know, he had to remove that to get the thing done because of requests by a couple of Southern States.

at the time. And you know what? Hey, progressives. If you believe, if you believe that global warming is going to be the death of all of us, if you really believe that it is what you say it is, and we only have a few more years, then why don't you start a war and kill all of the people that disagree with you? because that's exactly what our founders were up against. You don't believe in slavery? Good. Start a second war and now slaughter the people in your own country that you don't agree with. That's what it was. And so they decided, no, I'm going to take progressive steps. We're going to get rid of it here.

We'll get rid of it here. And we'll keep working on it because people will finally see the light of day. We don't want another war. Progressives, don't you dare, don't you dare condemn them when you won't kill the person who disagrees with you on global warming? Isn't that just as much of a danger? In fact, perhaps even more so because it will kill all humans. It will kill all life on the planet. What makes you so different?

More in a second. First, I want to tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's my Patriot Supply. When an emergency strikes, what is your first impulse? Your answer is to run to the grocery store, right? You hear a snowstorm, gotta run to the grocery. Got to get the grocery. How do you avoid it?

It's really simple. You use today to make a plan. There is time to prepare for a hurricane, earthquake, blizzard, social unrest. The practical place to start is just by storing up some food in your home. Now, I use my Patriot supply for food storage. I have for a very long time. If you don't have an emergency food supply, it's really, if you've listened to me for any given time, this is the time that we've talked about. This is the beginning of it.

This is it. What I've talked to you about coming our way, we're here now. So if you've ever believed in any of that, now is the time to prepare a two-week food kit. that comes in a rugged tote so you can grab and go. This week, it's only $75 when you go to prepare with glenn.com or call 1,800, 200, 271.63. It includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, up to 25 years in storage. You can order now, prepare yourself and your family, and then let it go.

800, 200, 271.63 or prepare with glen.com. I'm glad you're here. It's Monday. We're going to try to make it a little easy. here for you and try to make sense of the world for you in our last hour. Take some, give you some action steps and some, some meaning behind the news. Also, we go back and look at the hurricane in Florida because they're far from done in Florida. That's also coming up.

And don't forget, we're going on tour this week and can't wait to see you. It's going to be an awful lot of fun. Stu and I were working on the show on Friday. It's just to say, I mean, it could go one of two ways. It could, it might spiral out of control. It just might spiral out of control. We go on Thursday to Richmond, Virginia. Then on Friday, we're up in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Then Saturday, we're in Pittsburgh, and there's some special things we're going to be doing in Pittsburgh. Buy your ticket, if you're anywhere in the area, come to Pittsburgh. I'm donating all of the proceeds. to the Jewish community in Pittsburgh. I just don't have time to get to the theater to buy my ticket, Glenn. There's just, I'm sorry. I'd like to do that in advance when I can. No, you go to glenbeck.com slash tour, and that's where you can buy your tickets.

So I can go. Anybody can do that. Is that a special thing? Nobody can do that. Glennbeck.com slash tour. And then Sunday, we're in Cleveland, Ohio. I'm sorry that it is on a Sunday. I don't usually do anything on a Sunday, but it was the only time that we could

that we could do it and fit it in the schedule. So Cleveland, Ohio on a Sunday. Bring your kids, bring your friends. Bring a sense of humor and possibly a notebook. Because there's also going to be some things that I think we're going to go over and learn together. It begins this week. Hey, it's Glenn. And I want to tell you about something that you should either end your day with or start your morning with.

And that is the news and why it matters. If you like this show, you're going to love the news and why it matters. It's a bunch of us that all get together at the end of the day and just talk about the stories that matter to you and your life. The news and why it matters. Look for it now wherever you download your favorite podcast. The following story is brought to you by new pooperone. Aroni on San Francisco streets.

That's right. San Francisco has taken illegal immigration to a new level. How is that possible, Stu? They've not only embraced it and paid for it, they're using it to further their agenda as well. In July, the city designed a new registration system aimed at getting non-citizens to cast votes in school board elections. In other words, the city now is registering, quote, non-citizens.

Now, that's a compound word, and I've not seen it before. It's hard to keep up with the euphemisms, but let me see if I can, let me see if I can trace this tree back. Non-citizen means undocumented immigrant, which actually means illegal immigrant, which actually means an illegal. Okay. Got it. Got it. Yesterday, we discovered that the city has enrolled 49 new volt voters at the price of $6,000 each. In total, the city has spent so far for these 49 voters $310,000.

That's money well spent, huh? As with all things related to San Francisco, this whole thing has been related to what? The hatred of President Donald Trump. Orange Man Bad. When asked by the San Francisco Gate about the new system, Shimon Walton, a district commissioner in the city, schools told the paper that, quote, he wants families with children in these schools to have a voice. Oh, there's nothing, there's nothing better than helping people have a voice by creating a huge

bureaucracy around it. He added, Trump will not always be president. Hopefully we'll have leaders who are inclusive and really believe that if you are a resident of this country, you should have the same rights as other people. I'm looking forward to a time. I'm looking forward to a when our families will have a bigger voice, end quote. Now, part of me thinks, we should send buses to the caravan. We should hasten the return of this caravan. We should drive them directly to San Francisco and tell them, okay, you can come to America, but you have to stay in San Francisco.

Let me ask you this. living in San Francisco and taking caravan after caravan after caravan, how long before those caravans are clawing their way out of the city of syringes and human feces where people pretend to be more enlightened than the rest of the world. The Glenbeck program. Election by numbers. So we are just a week away tomorrow from the election. How are things shaping up, Stu?

Well, first of all, it's interesting. that you point that out because I say the same thing or a week away from the election. We are in the middle of the election. Yeah, you're right. You're right. And it's so bizarre because this is changed. There is no longer an election night. That is not a thing that exists anymore. I know it's weird to say that, but so far, about 18 million people have cast votes in this midterm

election. That's currently up till today. Now, to give that perspective, there's about 75 million people who cast votes in the 2014 midterms. So you're talking about a quarter of who voted in the... the 2014 midterms have already voted, already down. So, you know, this is going on constantly now in the last couple of weeks of these elections. There's a totally different way of thinking about this. And of course, you know, these campaigns like it because it gives them a chance, gives them so many chances to get people to go and get people to the polls and force them

to go early. They get all the activists out and then they can have them go and, you know, go pass out, you know, go take down Ted Cruz signs or whatever the heck they're, their volunteers are doing on that particular day. But there's one interesting way of looking at this. We talk a lot about districts that have changed from Obama to Trump, people who voted for Obama and then changed to Trump. And there's the other side of that are people who voted for Romney and changed Clinton. And there's an interesting breakdown of these. There were, let's see, I think 13 districts that voted for Mitt Romney in 2012 and then voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016.

So in 2012, on average, according to 538, had about an 8. point advantage for Romney. In 2016, it was a five point advantage for Democrats. So what are we closer to? I think it's interesting to see where we are when it comes to the polling. As of right now, we have about a two point advantage for Democrats in those states. So if you look at it, to summarize those stats, have kind of lost three points? Well, well, three points, Democrats have lost three points from 2016. Correct. So less passionate in 2016, but a big, big move from 2012. Got it.

So they're kind of in the middle, but leaning towards the Democratic way they voted in 2016. Now, there were 21 districts that voted for Barack Obama and then voted for Donald Trump, 21. So in 2012 with Barack Obama, they had about a six-point advantage for Democrats, for Obama. In 2016, that swung from all the way back to seven points Republican for Donald Trump. So it was a huge swing there. You would think of these as real swing districts. so far polling is showing that leaning to the Democratic side by five and a half points. That's big.

It's a big change. And that's almost equal to where they were voting around Barack Obama's time. So if you look at that, the people who were voting for Obama and then switched to Trump are kind of back to the position when they were voting for Barack Obama. With Romney, the people who voted for Romney then went to Clinton, they're in between those two positions, but leaning towards Clinton. That's where these districts show up. There's also five states where this occurred. Five states, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,

where they voted for Barack Obama, then changed to Trump. In the Obama election, I had about five-point advantage for Obama in those states. In the Trump election, there was about a two-point advantage for Trump. Right now, those states are showing a 12-point advantage for Democrats. Holy cow. Now, part of that is it's a little bit different than what you would say in the House where they're broken up into little areas and there's so many candidates

and they're up all the time where this is some of these races are just there's popular Democrats already Pennsylvania is an example of that where they have just a big lead it's not because I don't think that's necessarily solely because of some switch like so tell me what all this means from last

week are the Democrats making is the momentum starting to swing back towards the Democrats I would say it doesn't tell you much about the Senate but I think it does tell you something about the House which is there was a hope that there would be some movement in the House towards Republicans. These numbers aren't showing that.

I mean, right now it still seems like the Democrats will take the House, and the Republicans look pretty solid in the Senate right now. When will we see any movement at all due to the shooting and the bombing? Well, the polling wouldn't even start probably, if you want real polling in a reaction, at least till today, so you'd have three. I mean, you're probably not to later this week, Thursday or Friday at the earliest, I'd say. We'll look for it then. Thank you.

Election by numbers on the Glenn Beck program. This weekend, as you know, a gunman opened fire at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. He shot and killed 11 people during Sabbath services. He injured six others. Four were police officers. The guy was insane. He hated Donald Trump. That doesn't make him a Democrat.

It doesn't mean that he was. You know, following, I don't know, Corey Booker or whoever, it just means this is not political. And should it be? Why do we keep jumping to politics first? I can't imagine what these families are going through. Pennsylvania has taught us before with the Amish. How to deal with killers. If you've been listening to me for a long time, you know what I believe is coming and have said is coming for a while.

and I'm always wrong with timing. But I don't think there's any way to deny that what I've warned was coming is here now. We're seeing the beginnings of it now. And it's only going to get worse and it's going to get harder. It's going to get harder for you to stand up. Have they taken Gab down yet? I think the service provider for them has taken them down. I don't know if they're back up.

So it's not Gab's fault. Gab is a, it's like kind of a Twitter competitor, I guess, you would say, that wound up. Becoming a safe haven for anti-Semites, I guess. And, you know, I don't want that. Nobody wants that. But we either believe in freedom or we don't. And yes, I don't like the poison that they put out. But I also don't like the silencing of voices.

This America, man, this is American principles. You can't silence voices. This guy was a deeply disturbed, really bad guy. You know, you watch TV and you see the victims, the faces scrolling across the TV screens, and you might think that things are getting worse. And I guess, historically speaking, this is the worst anti-Semitic shooting we've ever had in the history of our country, 11 people. On the positive side, that's nothing compared to some countries. I saw some reporter say, you know, the problem is, this is Donald Trump, I hope you, I hope you're happy that you have your synagogue, or I'm sorry, your embassy in Jerusalem.

Really? Really? That's where you're going? Really? This was caused by moving the embassy to Jerusalem? Oh, my gosh. Wow. You know how many Jews were killed in Israel by terrorists?

Last year, 122. 122. Was that Donald Trump's fault too? Or was that just the evil Jews fault? How many of France? France, they're moving out at a record number because they know they've seen this movie before. I'm so tired of the West being to blame for everything that there's nobody worse than us. I'm so tired.

I was tired in 2008. The president at the time was saying, you know, we're not going to allow people to round up Muslims in the middle of the night. We've never done that. We've never done that. Stop it. You know who is? China. One million Muslims are now in a concentration camp in China. Round it up. Why? Because they're Muslim. That's it. Where's everybody on that one? Is that because there's no white man involved? Is that what it is? Where is everybody on that one? America's so bad. Look at all the hatred and the racism. And slavery.

You know slavery's still going on in Africa? Slavery's going on in the Middle East. Slavery's happening in China. It's happening in Brazil. It's happening in Haiti. It's happening in Mexico. Where are you on that one? I'm so tired of playing this game.

When it comes to the Jewish people, I obviously don't speak for everybody, but I do speak for my audience on this one. You're not alone. There are millions of Christians who love you, who respect you, who are grateful, grateful for the preservation of the Torah.

There are Americans that will hide you, God forbid. I just don't know who has to be hidden first. No people should have to live like this. No people should have to have armed security. all the time. No people should have to have. Their children. Behind bulletproof glass.

Nobody should have their worship. I don't care if it's a mosque or a church or a synagogue. Nobody. Nobody should be worshipping God and have somebody come in and kill everybody. This Saturday I'm going to be in Pittsburgh, and I want you to join me. It happens to be the week anniversary. of this shooting that we're doing the stage show in Pittsburgh, and I want you to come.

I'm taking all of my proceeds, and I just saw that Mercury 1 has been doing a fundraiser now, stand up against hate. They're raising funds to support the synagogue, the families of the 11 who lost their lives, the injured, the police officers, who bravely ran into the line of fire, anybody who is involved,

we want to try to help put their lives together. Saturday M1 was out flying, they flew out to Pittsburgh right away and they were meeting with people in Pittsburgh to assess the needs. And we would love to have you join in the donations. If you would like to donate, you could go to mercury1.org, Mercury1.org or join me

and all of the proceeds of your ticket on Saturday's stage show in Pittsburgh. You can go to glenbeck.com slash tour now, and I will see you in Pittsburgh on Saturday. I want to talk to a little bit about SimplySafe. SimplySafe is this great company that protects my home, protects my daughter's home, protects the ruby slippers and the George Washington Compass and everything else here at the studio.

it is a great service that's very affordable and has only $14.99 a month to be able to have the 24-7 monitoring. Yeah, and you can install it very easily. You don't have to worry about wires and everything. You can unsubscribe whenever you want. It make it very easy. And honestly, in 2018, how do you not have a home security system? I don't care where you live. I mean, I have a relatives who live in a very, very good area with, that's in the middle of the woods, basically. and they had a break-in a couple years ago and they had no security system and thankfully they have one now but you really kind of need one

in today's world you really kind of need one and this is the this is the most effective way and the most cost efficient system I think you're going to find anywhere it is top of the line it's won all kinds of awards

it's simply safebeck.com simply safebeck.com no contracts 1499 a month to have the monitor but you you control all of it. No strings, no contracts, no wires. Simplysafebeck.com. So I tweeted over the weekend.

I'm so sick of those who want to blame this president for everything. He didn't express sympathy or expressed it fast enough. Stop it. There's a deep sickness taking root in this country and it's spread here. Twitter has become the white van covered in despicable bumper stickers. Listen to some of the responses. The deep sickness stems from a man who mocks and inflames hatred and bigotry. He's not the root cause, but he's fanning the flames.

Yeah, Kathy, are you two? Are you doing that as well? Is CNN? Is anybody else in the media doing that? Is Twitter fanning the flames? Watch his rallies and tell me how he leads us into a unified nation. Well, I tell you what. Allison and Kentucky. I'm going to take her in a minute. She was just at one of his rallies.

Let's see. Oh, Glenn, are you going to do an anti-Semitic attack on George Soros tonight? No. How many of you done over the years? None. Probably too many to count it. No, none. But oh yeah, right, Twitter is the problem. Well, see, Mike, it is because you don't have the facts. And all you're doing is you are being a blowhard without any facts. I'm not anti-Semitic. How? How? A Defender of Israel award presented by the Prime Minister of Israel. George Soros was paying for anti-Glenbeck protesters while I was doing a defense of Israel program in Israel.

I mean, I'm not anti-Semitic. I point out the facts of what George Soros has used his money to do. Oh, really, really, Glenn? and now you're saying that he's paid for the caravan? Nope, I didn't say that. He paid some of the money for the last caravan. But I don't have anything on this caravan. But let's just look at the facts.

This is the Glenback program. So glad that you're here. Thank you. Allison in Kentucky. Thanks for holding. You're on the Glennbeck program. Good morning, Glenn. It's so difficult to hear you struggling this morning.

Maybe I can give you in some of the long-time listeners some advice. Okay. I'm not really struggling. I don't know. Look, I've been a subscriber to this network since it was GBTV. We hear your voice when you're struggling a bit more than usual. Okay. But my advice is make it tangible because there's so many of us that tune in every day

and listen to this broadcast, but then we don't make it tangible. And even you were saying that you haven't been doing your shows or you haven't been out on the road for a while, I think it's going to be so good for you because you need to connect with the people. Yes, I agree. My friend and I, truly, I have a friend of mine that's a Vietnam veteran in his 70s, and we went all the way that we live in Ashland, Kentucky. We got up at 2 a.m., drove six hours to Illinois for the Trump rally this weekend on Saturday. And then stood for 11 hours straight because we were told the first 2,000 people in line would get into the hangar.

And we knew we were going to get that way. And as we got through security, I'm looking at George saying, oh, I can't wait to sit down. And you get to the hangar and there were no seats. So there's the reality of we're going to be standing another six hours on concrete. So what you're saying is this president is a liar. I'm sorry, just playing CNN for a second. Go ahead. Tell us.

Well, they could say it as much as they want. You know what? We were standing in line making fun of the Carbondale Solidarity Network, which was a socialist group that was coming to protest. They had to have their 11 a.m. pancake breakfast before they came to protest. And, you know, we were joking, well, do you think they were vegan and? gluten-free options to go along with that. Right. But there were over 10,000 people there for

the rally and less than 75 people showed up to protest. There was not a piece of, I've heard you say this about your functions when you've had the restoring functions. There was no garbage. You would never know. There was 10,000 people there. No one was complaining. I kind of had to warm up

to Trump myself and I was intimidated to go to one of these things because I was afraid if I said one negative thing. I was going to be completely shouted down. No, people were so open about talking. And, you know, if someone had to go to the bathroom and their child stayed with us, I mean, you're at a group of 10,000 people. You trust strangers to watch your child while you run and do an errand and come back real quick.

It was such a positive environment. And, you know, it's like the president just happened to show up. It was, and I'm so glad he's actually going to be in Huntington on Friday, which is five miles away from where I live. But I'm so glad I went to Illinois. because I remember standing in line and seeing the headline break about the shooting. And we also went through the doubt of whether the president was going to show up or not. And this is after we'd gotten in the hangar, we'd been standing there for two hours.

But we never gave up hope. And we all, you know, we had jokes of, you know, conservatives. The one thing liberals can do better than us is chant. We can't chant. It's like we need classes or something. Yeah, no, we suck at that. And I'm glad we suck at that. I'm really glad we suck at that.

You know, it was such a positive environment, and our legs were just killing us by the time that he got there. And George and I drove back that night. It was a 28-hour road trip that we took for this experience. And as exhausted as we were, and as much as we were aching, George looks at me and says, he's doing one in Missouri later this week, isn't he? How far is that? Well, that one was just six hours. Missouri was going to be eight, but we were going to go until we found out that this one was going to happen right across the river on Friday.

So, fine, make it tangible. That's the best thing that I can say is go and meet these other people. 10,000 to 75. We're very quiet people, but you got to this rally, and there was just an energy that was there that you realized we can be, there's hope for society. Yeah. Because granted, I got up and went to Walmart the next morning,

and people are cutting you off to get to the best parking spot. You're like, well, yep, I'm home. Allison, hang on the second. I want to get you a copy of my book. I sign it and I'll send it out to you. Thank you so much for holding and thanks for sharing that. That is maybe if I don't, am I struggling today? Do you feel like I'm struggling today?

Because I don't feel like I'm struggling today. I'm a little frustrated at. Right. Just indignation, I would say. Yeah. And I'm frustrated that we concentrate on all the wrong things. And I think that's kind of what she's saying here. See, these aren't the things we should be concentrating on.

You know, the president being an anti-Semite. Jesus, his daughter is Jewish. You know, how many clan members are cool with that? I don't think any. And relatively few. Yeah, how many Nazis were like, oh, you know what? Yeah, okay, so my daughter's going to marry this Jewish guy and she's going to become Jewish. That's great.

That doesn't happen. Again, when you're talking about American Jews, one of the main things they've asked the president for how many generations was to move the Capitol back to Jerusalem. And this is the guy that did it. I mean, he, you know, look, it's insane. It boils down to these ridiculous summaries of what a person believes. You're telling me you can't criticize someone on the left that you disagree with politically because they're Jewish, because then you get called an anti-Semite.

The same way, like a liberal should be able to criticize without, fear of being called a racist, Clarence Thomas. They should be able to say, I think he's wrong on the Constitution. They should absolutely be able to do that without being called racist. But this, this bizarre thing, and this is carried out today, not by, you know, Mother Jones in the Huffington Post where he'd expect it, but every mainstream media source asking question after question after question, what part of this? Give me a percentage. Tell me, please, how much of this is Donald Trump's fault. So here's, let me, let me do what Allison just said. Let's make a tant. Here is Joe Lieberman on a very frustrating interview with CNN. Listen to this.

Well, it's a shocking moment. I mean, we view it all through our own experience. I have had a life as a Jewish American, which has been not only free of anti-Semitism, but I've had this opportunity to be elected senator from a state, Connecticut, where the Jewish population is about 2%. And then Al Gore is, me the chance to run for vice president first jewish american on a national ticket uh really no i faced no anti-semitism uh and uh forgive me for going back to the end of the 2000 election we actually got 500 000 more votes than the other ticket which was a reflection in numbers that people weren't voting uh based on religion so when something like this happens it's shocking and it changes that reality. But I believe the reality is that the American people are very fair-minded, not bigoted. And you saw it in the wholesome reaction of the neighbors who were not Jewish in Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh, and in the elected officials there. It was very genuine.

And of course, this does not please CNN. This is not what they wanted out of Joe Lieberman. They didn't bring him on to say that he had a good experience as an American. and bring him on to say positive things. They brought him on to clarify exactly what portion of this is Donald Trump's fault. Tell us so we don't have to say it. Say he's responsible so we can have plausible deniability that this is exactly what we believe. We don't want to come out and say it 5,000 times. We'll just hint to it.

You say it, okay? It's essentially the way they lead into this next question. And again, he is not giving them what they want to hear. Listen. Do you believe that there are those who perceive those to be anti-Semitic dog whistles when you see one of the closing ads of his campaign? George Soros, Janet Yellen, Lloyd Blankfine from Goldman Sachs with dark ominous pictures and talking about the money and the international banking. It's just a question though, guys. Is that something that sends a message?

Yeah. Well, the first thing I want to say is that in my opinion, this brutal murder in Pittsburgh really was committed by a hateful one. owner who was probably more stimulated by anti-Semitism in social media than by anything else going around him. He was against President Trump. And it's real, I was glad to see that this website is taking itself down for a while. And all the social media people have to ask whether they're becoming vehicles for this kind of hatred.

But more generally, I think all of us have to begin. beginning with the president, Democratic and Republican leaders in Congress, people in the media, conventional media, and the more unconventional social media, have to ask ourselves, to what extent are we contributing to the division in our society? Charlie Dent and I have worked together in a group called No Labels, trying to overcome the way the parties have become like warring tribes. But this goes beyond that. He just said tribe.

He just said tribe. He just said tribe. He just said tribe. So what would I say when the president makes a constructive statement about unity, let's praise him for it and urge him to build on it and think about ways in which he can act so that no one can ever say he somehow was responsible for violence or hatred. Again, that's the Joe Lieberman 47-minute response. But, I mean, you get the summary there. I mean, first of all, this guy was not pro-Trump. not I mean he was viscerally anti-Trump in a way of he you know what I don't like about Donald Trump is he's too nice to Jews that is essentially what the guy was saying on his social network over and over and over and over again so he was not a pro-Trump guy that shout up this this synagogue and you know like it's important to make that distinction and how do you bring people together the exact opposite of what CNN's trying to do in that clip he caught I mean without saying it in the nicest Joe Lieberman possible way right but what he's saying is what you're

doing right now by trying to make this into a situation where it's Trump is blamed what we should do is wrong. What we should do instead is when he says something that we think helps the environment, we should praise it. Sure, certainly generally speaking, we have an issue with our discourse. I think I think almost everybody would agree with that. But when it comes to this shooting, it's not related, right? So here's what the media should have done this weekend. The media should have said, okay, so what role does rhetoric on social media and from the president and from the press and everything else? What role does media play in the life of a guy who, as we saw this non-white male tried to commit with, you know, with the pipe bombs? the guy was nuts.

The guy was absolutely nuts. He was a loner. He had finally found a cause that he could, you know, rally behind. He, you know, was nuts. He was nuts. Okay. So that one. What role does politics play?

Does the media play? Do politicians play in winding people up? That's a viable answer. question on that particular topic. And not just about Trump, but the whole thing. What role does the media play? What about Twitter? What about Facebook?

What's winding some of these people up? What happens in the future? Okay. Valid. The shooting in Pittsburgh? Here's how they should have covered this. This guy was a anti-Semite who this. who this clearly had nothing to do with politics.

The guy hated Donald Trump. This is just a loner, just like the guy in the van. He had no friends. He had no friends. He was a sick, twisted guy. What is the hole in America? Why are we seeing this now? Because it's not Donald Trump, and it's not Barack Obama.

It's not the left. It's not the right. There's something fundamentally missing here. What is it? Why are we changing? Why are our kids killing themselves at a record rate? There's a bigger issue here than politics, but nobody in the media wants to address it. Because nobody in the media, nobody in politics can win.

By the way, we're doing an episode tonight on what happened in Brazil, the candidate in Brazil. And why does that matter? Why does that matter?

Glad you're here. Just a quick side note. I was trying to buy something for the museum. On Friday, there was this auction, and I thought nobody knew about it. The first artificial intelligence artwork went up for sale at Christie's. They said that they expected to go for 10,000. And so I'm watching this. And I'm thinking this is a good investment for the future because someday the first one is going to be worth a lot of money, blah, blah, blah.

Yeah. I think it went for $250,000. Wow. Done by an algorithm. Done by an algorithm. Is it better than the crappy art that's in a lot of these museums? Yeah. Really?

Yeah. Yeah. And it's signed at the bottom in a mathematical, mathematical. formula. It's, it's pretty amazing. It's studied all of the old masters and then did an original painting itself. It's actually really pretty good. It's really pretty good. That's amazing. So did you get it? And we're going to put it? Yeah. No. No, I didn't know. I didn't know. No. No. You wouldn't go up to 250 for a computer painting. No. I have MS paint. I'll make something for you on it. Yeah. You'll like it. I kind of like the one with a banksy. Do you see the banksy that went,

It went up and then started to shred. As soon as the hammer fell, it started to shred. That is a solid prank. I got to say that is amazing. I mean, the foresight on that. He did that years ago, years ago. Years ago. Glenn, back.
