Glenn reveals the full context of the quote, and he and Stu blast the media for their desperate attempt to stir up controversy.

So I don't know about you, Stu, but I've been soaking in a blood bath all weekend. I can't tell you how many chickens I had to sacrifice to get the blood enough for a bath for me. I mean, it's like a taft bathtub, you know. That is a very nerdy joke, but I like it.

Thank you. Any William Hart Taft jokes you can break out in one of a national radio program. That's always the right way to go. I like it. Well, you know, Hall of Fame. Hall of Fame. That's how you get there. Did you hear how he expertly just tuck that taff joke in?

Not a lot of opportunities for those. So anyway, this weekend, apparently, according to the mainstream media, and a lot of them, they said that Donald Trump was calling for a bloodbath if he didn't win. Listen, cut three. But as Politico. The website on the, quote, bloodbath at the RNC. Headlines calling it a, quote, bloodbath. A bloodbath.

Not only is it going to be a bloodbath, but after they leave New Hampshire, it's a bloodbath on her home turf. That's really tough. And Trump has left a lot of corpses in his wake. I mean, we can count the bodies as part of the, quote, MAGA drive to take over Maricopa County. And the headline refers to it as an impending bloodbath. Collinist Charles Blow has a new piece for the New York Times entitled a Biden bloodbath. 2018 midterms, you can bet that they 100% are fearing a slaughter. In fact, the word bloodbath and massacre come up frequently.

The Republican Party will be destroyed. It's going to be a bloodbath. There's going to be a bloodbath one way or the other. Bloodbath for Bernie Sanders. It's been a bloodbath. Oh my goodness. They're shaping up to be a bloodbath. Oh my goodness.

And next year's crucial midterm. Off year elections are often a bloodbath. This week's blood bath for Democrats, a blood bath at the ballot box. There could be a Republican blood bath. They'll talk about a blood bath. It's a bloodbath. I have to talk about you. It's going to be a blood bath all day long. It's in for a blood bath.

Hasn't been a blood bath on the way down. Donald Trump blood bath. Be a blood bath. Predicted to be a blood bath. It may not be the blood bath. It would be a blood bath. More of a blood bath. It's going to be a blood bath in November.

Possible Biden blood bath this November. A blood bath on Wall Street. There's going to be a blood bath. In Alabama, into a blood bath. Obviously, there was a blood bath. It was a blood bath. We're down 800 points. blood bath at Department of Homeland Security.

And it's a blood bath today. There was going to be this blood bath. Election, blood bath. It could be a blood bath for them. Bloodbath, possibly. Bloodbath, it went through with the Attorney General. Stop, I can't. I got to get out of this tub.

I got to get out of this tub. There's just too much blood bath. Now, this is the media. This is the media saying, using the word bloodbath. Now, when you say it's going to be a blood bath, Stu, what does that usually mean? usually it means something a blowout a defeat of some sort in a notable way with a large margin

the words what if you use the word like van jones did a slaughter and a blood bath it would also mean it's going to be a slaughter and a blood bath that's an interesting question that does change things but not much it's it basically means to get a blowout a doubt defeat by a large margin. Everyone knows what it means and everyone knew what it meant until this weekend, apparently. I don't know. I don't know if that's entirely true. The media, they heard Donald Trump and here's ABC, cut 10 or cut two, whichever one you can. And former President Trump's campaign now on the defensive after his fiery rhetoric at a rally in Dayton, Ohio on Saturday night.

Trump warning while discussing the economy that there would be a, quote, bloodbath if he is not reelected in November. This, after the former president kicked off the event by paying tribute to those who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, President Biden's campaign swiftly denouncing those comments as threats of political violence. Okay, stop for a second. Stop for a second. Stu, can you take this, well, can we take this, play this again?

And I want to take it step by step because this sounds like something entirely different than what everyone in the media has said themselves over and over and over and over again, right, about a bloodbath. Let's take this apart because this sounds very dangerous and very different. Go ahead, play it from the beginning. And former President Trump's campaign now on the defensive after his fiery rhetoric at a rally in Dayton, Ohio on Saturday night. Trump warning while discussing the economy that there would be a quote, bloodbath if he is not reelected in November this stop holy cow holy cow stew he's on the defensive now

because he said something that maybe he shouldn't have said so he's on defensive and his fiery rhetoric may is is saying here from the stage stew that if he's not elected there'll be a blood Wow. See, because it's if you're elected in a blood bath, that means that you would, of course, what? You'd, you'd slaughter them. You'd not literally, as we've learned from the media, but a blood bath would be something that would, you'd just, you'd, you'd, you'd either win or lose at a great, great number. But if he's elected or if he's not elected and then there's a bloodbath, that's, right? That's different, Stu. It's really not. He's talking about, of course, the economic competition, specifically as it's related to China and automobiles.

No, no, you're not. No, you're not. No, you don't understand. He's elected. If he's not elected, there will be a bloodbath. That's what she said. Now, let's listen on. After the former president kicked off the event by paying tribute to those who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6th.

Holy stop for a second. Holy cow. Now I think you see the connection. Oh. He said if he's not elected, there'll be a bloodbath in the same speech where he opened up praising those crazy people from January 6th. Wow. Now I've been turned around. Yeah, this is dangerous rhetoric.

He was talking about the dangerous people of January 6th, and then somehow or another, he went right into Bloodbath. Right. If he's not elected. We said right into. Well, he went right into bloodbbed. Is that? Well, there were three ellipses. There were three ellipses.

And, you know, that's no big deal. So anyway, go ahead. Listen to the rest of the report here. Swiftly denouncing those comments as threats of political violence. Let's. Stop. There you go. There you go.

Well, there wasn't. So the president immediately sprung in. No, no, it wasn't, Stu. It wasn't five ellipses. It was three. And the president knows because the president immediately denounced those words as as violent rhetoric. Okay. So what more do you need from this story?

I mean, I don't know. Maybe the context. Would it be too much to ask to receive the context of the comments? Like what? Like maybe the line's proceeding? It's not going to change anything, but here's cut 18. China now is building a couple of massive plants where they're going to build the cars in Mexico and think, they think, that they're going to sell those cars into the United States with no tax at the border.

Let me tell you something to China. If you're listening, President Xi, and you and I are friends, but. He understands the way I deal. Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you're building in Mexico right now, and you think you're going to get that, you're going to not hire Americans, and you're going to sell the cars to us now. We're going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you're not going to be able to sell those cars.

If I get elected, now if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole... That's going to be the least of it. it's going to be a bloodbath for the country. That'll be the least of it. But they're not going to sell those cars. They're building massive factories. So wait a minute. I'm trying to figure this out.

So China's building cars. And then he says he's going to put a tariff on. If he's elected, if he's not elected, then somehow or another, there'll be political violence everywhere. And his people will do a January 6th on the whole country. And then he says, and they're not going to sell those cars. You know, Joe Biden is right when he came out this weekend and said he's not fit to be president because he's not making any sense there, Stu.

What does the political violence have to do with China and the sales of cars? You know, it's interesting. That wouldn't make any sense at all if he were to just convert back and forth between those things without introducing the topic whatsoever. You'd think maybe, and this is the way human speech works, is when you... introduce a topic and then comment after that topic without introducing a new topic, people generally think that the statements you've made relate to the previous topic that has been discussed. But when you delete...

But that's not how human nice mustaches works. See, that's what you just did right there. I don't think is normal. I think you just said nice mustaches. So now I am, are you talking about... Right. That was just, see, that's strange. normally the way people do is they string multiple sentences together on the same topic

unless they specifically introduce a new topic. And if you kind of go by this old school, this old school analysis, Glenn, what you think is maybe he's talking about an economic bloodbath if China is allowed to import cars with the penalties not associated that he would. That seems entirely Campbell soups inconceivable to me. Again, you did it. Campbell soup, that's not normal. What you're doing is not normal. Well, all I know is that's the way they teach it in journalism school.

Now, in other news when we come back, I'm going to tell you all about how the administration is putting together a cute little effort through USAID to make sure that you aren't given false or misleading information because they say during this election, some people will try to give you miss or mal or disinformation. And they need to be there to protect you from that. Otherwise, it could be a bloodbath. And I'm soaking in one right now.

well, that and, well, cream of chicken soup. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening. So, Stu, you know, we were watching with baited breath. Gee, who's going to win Putin or that other guy? And we thought it would be close with that other guy, but apparently not. Apparently not.

We were shocked. 90% voted for Putin. Yeah. Now, we're not the only one. that said, what about the other guy? Because Stu found something rather interesting while following the Putin election. Yeah, people don't want to talk about this.

But the reason Vladimir Putin won with 90% of the vote is because, and no one in the media will talk about this, but Vladimir Putin actually had his main opponent thrown off the ballot. There was no one to go against Vladimir Putin. Yeah, no, I'm serious. What? He came up with some technical justification to get him tossed off the ballot so he couldn't even

appear and people couldn't vote for him. Wow. Wow. This happened to What's His Name? Yeah, What's His Name was not on the ballot. You didn't have Putin. Not on the ballot. What's his name?

No. The main guy who was the, he was an anti- Ukraine war politician heavily promoted by the opposition and he got, he went through, got all the signatures that required and the government came in and said, oh, actually, technicality,

sorry, you can't get on the ballot. So of course he won 90%. They kicked his main opponent off the ballot. But what kind of democracy do you have? If you're the only name on the ballot, that's not

democracy. There's no choice. there and I just find it to be abhorrent that this I tell you it would never happen here in America I'll tell you that right now makes you feel proud of it's the difference between us and them yeah I mean you know there's autocratic rulers to do those kinds of things I can't believe it let me make sure I understand it so the guy who is in office yeah did everything he could to make sure that the guy running against him couldn't really be voted for because he wasn't even on the ballot.

Yeah, think about that for a second. Think about that. Think about... Wow. Imagine how Americans would react. If one of the... No, no. It would be like,

hey, there's this plague that's going around. Everybody's got to lock themselves into their house for three years. Imagine what Americans would do with that? They would say, no way, no way. No way. Taking somebody off the ballot. Think about that. Think about what our, let's say, founders would think about a person who is president of the United States, outwardly arguing to remove his opposition from any opportunity of opposing him. I mean, it's, it's, It's incredible. Yeah, I know.

I can tell you what they would say, too. Why are you asking us? We're dusty and outdated. So they wouldn't know. They would never see something like that happen. No. They really wouldn't. Actually.

But yeah, no, it's a fascinating thing. And that's why, Glenn, Russia is really bad. And we don't want a dictator. That's why dictators do things like that. The dictators say, I should remain in power for as long as I want to remain in power, and my opponent shouldn't even have a chance to win. That's what a dictator does. But what if you have a really good reason?

Like that's a bad guy. Well, I mean, that was kind of, you know, one of the things, Putin thinks, you know, in Russia, obviously the war is pretty popular there. They think opposition to that war is bad. And, you know, they came up with a technical reason. And it wasn't just that they thought he was bad. They said some of the signatures were suspicious. They had this technical reason that they kind of came up with.

Suspicious signatures. Yeah. Yeah. And so he didn't even get a chance to win. So, I mean, it's really, it wasn't even an election at all, Glenn. When you have an election where you only have a few little sprinkled third party candidates on the ballot, that's not an election, Glenn. That's totally ridiculous.

I have to tell you, Stu, when, you know, when, you know, when, Vladimir Putin, because I've seen this suspicious, you know, signature thing before, what he does is when people are gathering signatures for something that's against him, they find a way, say, hey, there's no, we can't verify the signature. But when they have to verify signatures for, like, voting, they don't care. There's just like, he voted for Putin. But that's not, that's signed Uncle Sam. It doesn't matter. You have a problem with people named Sam? And that's how dictators work, Stu. Good thing we don't have that here.

Yeah. I mean, it's just another, again, you can play the national anthem right now and just show the pride in America that we would never do something anywhere near this. And then luckily Russia, then they're very bad for doing it. Well, they're just wrong, but we have radicals here, okay? Radical, dangerous radicals. You know, it was Woodrow Wilson that first came up with that dangerous radical thing that, you know, we need to have a war on the dangerous radicals here. And that's why he came up with the Espionage Act and put that.

You know, and that espionage act is from Woodrow Wilson still largely in force. and it says that it is if you convey false information in order to interfere with the American military or promote the success of America's enemies, uh-oh, second to cause or attempt to cause insubordination within the military, or third to willfully obstruct military recruitment or enlistment. You can be charged under the espionion. Act. And that's not something to fool around with. Woodrow Wilson knew freedoms. And,

and he did, he did a lot to restrict them because he knew they were sacred and should therefore be restricted from common use. The more restrictive Sedition Act of 1918, which he came up with after, is even better. He amended the espionage act to criminalize disloyal. And are you disloyal? Profane, scurrilous, or abusive speech about the United States or its symbols. Also speech that impeded war production and statements supporting a country which the U.S. is at war with. So they locked up a lot of people on that one. Now, some of the people thought that, ah, that doesn't sound like freedom of speech.

and the First Amendment. But the Supreme Court said, hey, when a nation is at war, many things that might be said in time of peace are such a hindrance to its effort that even their utterance cannot be endured so long as men fight. So we're just going to have to suspend. Gosh, I hope we don't ever go to war. More than 2,000 people were convicted under the Espionage and Sedition Act during World War I About half were convicted.

Many of them went to jail. They included people that just distributed leaflets, arguing that the draft constituted slavery. Those who urged labor strikes, they were, of course, thrown into jail. Those convicted included leaders of the socialist and communist party. Eugene V. Debs is probably the most famous. He ran from prison in 1920.

But remember, you can't do that. If this president is thrown in jail, he can't run. I mean, sure, there's, I mean, Eugene Debs did. But this is, it's different this time. We'll have to keep him off the ballot. A few judges, notably the U.S. Supreme Court Justice Lewis Brandeis, which is the guy who never lifted a finger to help the people on the St. Louis. Or Oliver Wendell Holmes, he was the guy who said. said, you know, two generations of idiots is enough and therefore we can sterilize people.

Even those guys said, yeah, this doesn't sound like freedom of speech in the First Amendment. And so they can't do that. And so they overturned it after the war. And then in 1921, it was repealed. The Espionage Act remains intact, however. It was used during the Red Scare. but right after the tyrant I'm sorry I can't say tyrant the fascist no I can't the educated Princeton man who became president of the United States and is now the

is he still the fifth or was it the 15th I know he was in the top three when I started talking about Woodrow Wilson I think he might now be down to number 15 as one of the greatest American presidents he was he was really He was the lacquer of human beings. And he had all of that overturned finally in 1969. And here's what the Supreme Court said in 1969. Speech can be restricted only if it presents a threat of imminent lawless action.

You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck. Need a little more? Check out the full show podcast. Well, let's look at the news now. After former President Trump declared his freshly made guacamole, the bomb, media outlets in America and across the nation have announced that Trump has threatened to drop a nuclear bomb if he were to lose the election. It's a clear call to civil war, cried MSNBC, Joe Scarborough this morning as video played of Trump eating chips. You heard the words,

the bomb from his very own lips. Is there nothing this madman won't do? Several media outlets reported that Trump's threat of nuclear war came immediately on the heels of Trump vowing to demolish democracy when he claimed he was about to demolish some tortilla chips. We're sicken to hear such vile threats from former President Trump, said Scarborough. Watch as Trump openly says he's about to slice and dice tomatoes. Slice and dice, he literally saying here that he plans to cut every one of his opponents into tiny pieces with a knife. How horrific. Babylon's reporting, according to sources, the comments came after Trump served up his world-famous guacamole during a fajita night at Mar-A-Lago.

The guacamole, a family recipe for generations, was made table-side by Trump himself and described as absolute dynamite in addition to many other violent and obviously pro-insurrection phrases. At publishing time, the Babylon B reports MSNBC had reported that Trump had also planned to burn Democrats alive after revealing that Trump described the fajitas as sizzling. And that's all the news fit to print.

I am amazed how the media just thinks they can get away with. And they do. I don't know if I'm more amazed by the media thinking they can get away with it or the fact that they actually do with so many dumb Americans. Oh my gosh. Do you hear? Bloodbath. Bloodbath.

And, you know, we have a problem because he was talking about a bloodbath for all Democrats. He's obviously going to kill all. all of the Democrats, drain them of their blood, and then in the water system, he's going to replace water with blood. So you could draw a bath, and we're offended on two points. One, he's going to kill all the Democrats and drain them all their blood, and then two, that's an awful waste of a lot of blood. Could we not have baths? Could we take maybe a two-minute shower? Could we have blood showers? It would probably be better for the environment. I mean, it's madness what they're doing. And, but I mean, if that's all you got, that's all you got.

You could, you could, if you're the Democrats, you could stand on the fact that you are doing, you created 42,000 new jobs. I don't know if you know this. But Tyson Foods wants to hire 42,000. Well, I can't say Americans. Well, people who are in the United States. Some would say illegally, but that wouldn't be the Biden administration. Now, they just laid off 1,200 employees as they closed a factory in Iowa last week.

But Bloomberg has reported for companies like Tyson Foods struggling to fill unpleasant jobs with a U.S. unemployment rate of 3.9. That's not a real unemployment rate. It's not. I'm sorry. It's just not. That's people who, you know, are seeking employment. that's not I mean are you really we have a 3.9 unemployment rate wow did we just did we just lose millions of people that they just suddenly just boop disappear because every place I go it's like help wanted and then you see you know decent help one somebody who would actually work wanted you know uh I don't think the 3.9 is the actual number I think that's the actual number of of Americans who are not

like, why did I just get it all from the government? You know, that's excluding those people. But the good news is, is that the Tyson Chicken Company has joined the tent partnership for refugees, which is a good public-private partnership happening here with an NGO. And I think that's great. Now, me personally, what Tyson Foods conglomerate? What else do they make, Stu? Do you know?

Other. You just look that up. Sure. The Tyson foods, you know, because it's like, it's like four companies own everything. And you might be added to that at some point. You know, like, wait, they also own Glenn Beck. I didn't, what, how did that happen? Because I'm thinking that, and it's always really hard to do this.

It's very hard. You know, I'm going to boycott Coca-Cola. Well, no, you're not, really. You're not. Because every place you go, it's either Coke or Pepsi. And I really don't like Pepsi. And I don't like the places which serve Pepsi, you know? There's this a problem with Pepsi lovers.

I'm sorry. I know that cuts out half of, we could still be friends, not close friends, but we could still be friends if you're a Pepsi lover. I mean, my son is a Pepsi lover. But I have to remind him he's also adopted. So I understand. I understand those things. You're a great father.

Yeah, thank you. Thank you. I thought so. You're welcome. You just got to learn them, Stu. So what is the, what's the Tyson family? So you got your, you got your chicken products, beef and pork cuts, chicken nuggets. Some of the brands are familiar. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, yeah, the brands that they. Tyson.

The brands that. Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, Ballpark. Sarah Lee Frozen Bakery. Okay, hang on, hang on. no no hang on just a second this is i could get away from sara lee i should get away from i divorce you i divorce you i divorce you now i'm if i was islamic i would be separated now permanently from sara lee but um it's going to be a problem in the summer with the ballpark franks yeah but i could do it i could do it so far i could do it i i i don't think anyone chicken is

don't get you talk first oh okay sorry i i you were getting excited about the chicken i i was it's hard for me to that you'd be able to stay away from any meat-based product company for any length of time? It doesn't seem like a you thing. Maybe I could just say this. Chicken is the salad of meats. Wow. Do you have a bumper sticker on sale yet that says that? No, but I think that's...

I mean, I think everybody knows that. Chicken is the salad of meats. It's the thing, well, if you want to be healthy, have a salad. I'm so tired of salads. Put some chicken in it. Okay, I don't want chicken. They've wrecked it by putting it into salads because it's revealed itself as really just a salad topping. Nope.

And then they try to do a crisis PR with it and create chicken salad, which was just creating, mixing the chicken with mayonnaise and calling it salad, which is not, that's a... Yeah, it's not really a salad. No. Chicken is a fraud from start to finish. Start to finish. Wow. First of all, probably, it's the chicken is probably a dinosaur. Okay. Probably is. Probably is. It's just like, oh, no, the humans are coming. I should, I should not be a dinosaur anymore. I could be friendly. And that didn't work out well for them. We're just killing him for another reason. We should kill them because there are dinosaurs in disguise. And chicken. is the salad of meat.

Anyway. And you thought bloodbeth was going to be the most controversial statement from the right today. No, no, it's the chicken is the salad of meat controversy that is right around the corner. It is. So anyway, what else do they make? What else? What other brands come from Tyson? Some other stuff.

Is that the umbrella? Raised and rooted. You never heard of it. Adelis, right brand. Sounds dangerous. But basically, I mean, Tyson, Jimmy D and Hill, is that. And ballpark are probably the ones, I would say, most of all. Okay. I'm not doing Tyson. I can get away from Tyson. I can get away from Tyson. That's because that's the kind of guy I am. I'm not doing any of the hard ones. But as a recovering alcoholic, no bud light for me. None. Brave. I can do that one. Thank you for saying it, Stu. Thank you for saying it. Now, I just want to let you know, a Lebanese migrant who was caught sneaking over the border admitted he's a member of Hezbollah. He hoped to make a bomb.

His destination was New York. His name is Basil Basil Ebedotti. He's 22 years old. He was caught by Border Patrol near El Paso. While in custody, while he was in the U.S., he asked, I'm going to try to make a bomb. No, no, I'm sorry. He didn't just offer that up. He was asked, what are you doing here? And that's what he answered. He's not a complete idiot. But Basil, Basil Elbadi later claimed in an interview that he had been trying to flee Lebanon and Hamas because he didn't want to kill people.

Once you're in, you can never get out. So it's either that or he's here to build a bomb. So I'm assuming, I don't know, I didn't have the attention. to read the rest of the article. So I don't know. I'm sure that the Biden administration released him, which is really good because now he might go, you know, he might mend his ways because now he could get a job at Tyson.
