Starting point is 00:03:26 She is the host of Blaze News tonight, which airs every night, 7 central, 8 Eastern. And welcome to the program. How are you? I am doing great. I'm doing great because we don't have to go through and say, oh, how did it? it go last night? Was it good? Was it bad? No. Everybody on the right that watched that. Everybody that is a normie, Glenn, that watched that is like, wait, this JD Vance guy, they're trying to tell me he's weird. They're trying to tell me he's out there and crazy.
Starting point is 00:03:56 This guy looks pretty normal. And you know what we get from that? The media, of course, anytime he's going to have a sit-down interview, of course they're going to try and frame it as whatever they can to make the right not in a good, glowing image. Well, they worked hard at that last night. But with live debates, with live television, you can cut right through and speak directly to the American people without anyone interfering. And he shined so bright on that stage last night. Yes, he did. The moment for you.
Starting point is 00:04:28 The moment for me was when J.D. Vance came out, his opening remarks and he hit it later with the economy stuff. But he brought back the American dream. Glenn, on this show, on any show that we're looking at over the last weekend. there's so much doom and gloom out there in the world right now. I don't know what you're talking about. Right? We could have potential World War III inflation. Now.
Starting point is 00:04:51 What's going on? People don't need to be reminded about how bad it is. You can tell you've been listening to the show for a long time. I love the show. I am one who wants the doom and gloom. She actually started watching when we were doing headline news at CNN. She was the one that watched that. She was the one to watch that.
Starting point is 00:05:09 But I look at it and say, okay, people are. people are living their lives. It's hard enough as it is. And J.D. Vance went out on that stage multiple times last night and said, it's okay to still have the American dream. That to me is so important because we see poll after poll with millennials, with Gen Ziers. And they say, you know what, I don't think that my life, my quality of life is going to surpass that that my parents had. Whether it's true or not, that's what they believe right now. And you need somebody to come back and say, No, it is still possible to live the American dream. So I want to play that clip here in a second.
Starting point is 00:05:48 But, you know, J.D. Vance, if I hear one more person say, you know, I grew up in a middle class, first of all, that's great. If you grew up in a middle class and you're now in upper class, fantastic. That's the story of America. But J.D. Vance came out and said, you know, I grew up in a middle class. I don't think he did. He did not. He grew up in the lowest of lower classes. I mean, his mom was addicted to heroin.
Starting point is 00:06:14 I mean, he had a horrid upbringing. He's underselling his story, which is hard to do. And they made the movie about it again. Go watch it this weekend on Netflix, Hillbilly Elogy. But when you look at what he was able to overcome from that childhood, and then Tim Walz is out there making fun of J.D. Vance for, oh, he went to Yale. Oh, okay. At what point are the leftists, the leftists, the last?
Starting point is 00:06:39 one that are making fun of the Ivy League colleges. That's weird in and of itself. But the fact that J.D. Vance could stand there on stage at the RNC and say, my mom had struggled with addiction. And you know what? If I get into the White House along with Donald Trump, she will have her 10-year sober chip and we'll have that party in the White House. That story is incredible. And that's why the media will hate him even more. So listen to his opening statement. This is what Jill was talking about of hope? Listen to this. I want to answer the question, but I want to actually give an introduction to myself a little bit because I recognize a lot of Americans don't know who either one of us are. I was raised in a working class family. My mother required food assistance for
Starting point is 00:07:20 periods of her life. My grandmother required Social Security help to raise me, and she raised me in part because my own mother struggled with addiction for a big chunk of my early life. I went to college on the GI Bill after I enlisted in the Marine Corps and served in Iraq. And so I stand here asking to be your vice president with extraordinary gratitude for this country, for the American dream that made it possible for me to live my dreams. And most importantly, I know that a lot of you are worried about the chaos in the world and the feeling that the American dream is unattainable. I want to try to convince you tonight over the next 90 minutes that if we get better leadership in the White House, if we get Donald Trump back in the White House, the American dream is going to be attainable once again. he this is one of the reasons why I said he is the best
Starting point is 00:08:06 vice president candidate of my lifetime I can't think of anybody who's even in the category of this guy he walks on stage this is the first time Americans have seen him many Americans have seen him and seen him in a presidential debate he could be president tomorrow
Starting point is 00:08:26 you know I, after 20, in 2028, assuming we still have elections, in 2028, Ron DeSantis will have a run for his money because this guy is really solid. Absolutely. And he came out like a professor, right? What did he do last night in his opening statement? Here's what I'm going to tell you. Yes.
Starting point is 00:08:48 We're going to learn. Here's what we're learning in the middle. And then at the end, wrapping it back up. Here's what we can do as a country. He knows how to. frame a message. And oh my gosh, you guys, on the right, please, can we have more of that? Ron DeSantis is very good at it. J.D. Vance is very good at it. It feels like the politicians, though, they forget that when they get on stage. All the messaging goes out the window and
Starting point is 00:09:15 they're in front of the media. We need to clearly articulate our values, our principles, because we have the winning message. The masks are off. They are telling you on the left that they are flat out demonic. It's not a hard game to play right now. This should be the easiest one to go through in message. It is a battle of good versus evil. And we're on the winning side. So, you know, I'm, I agree with you that this is a battle of good versus evil. But I don't think we get anywhere by calling, and I'm not saying you did this, by calling Kamala evil or whatever. I think it is, is a bloodlust that comes from evil. But I actually think these people really think they're right.
Starting point is 00:10:05 It's a funny line you just drew there. Like, don't call them evil, but it is from a bloodlust that it results in evil. No, but it's what you're saying. It is, I'm not saying that it is a, I'm not saying that they are knowingly doing this. They have, they have built this bloodlust up thinking they're doing the right thing and not recognizing you might be in the service of the wrong guy. It's that Nazi and that famous skater's like, are we the baddies? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Like it's that type of thing at this point. I mean, when you're sitting on stage arguing about the benefits of ending the lives of 63 million children, that's their, we should all note, that's their good polling argument. Yeah. It's not just their fault. The fact that that is the argument that works in the polls to the point that our party, is seemingly halfway running away from it is despicable in every way. I think the reason why so many conservatives have changed is because they demonized us.
Starting point is 00:11:08 They called us Nazis. And so when somebody calls you a Nazi and a racist, if you're a thinking human being, you do a little inventory on yourself. What am I saying that is like that? And then you understand, well, no, I'm not. And here's why, yada, yada, yada. they haven't done that. They have not been pushed in any of their positions.
Starting point is 00:11:32 So they just keep sliding lower and lower and lower. And you can't defend it. That's why she's not doing any interviews. That's why Walls, this alas, you'll see of him doing any interviews or anything else, because they've never been pushed. So they can't, they don't know how to defend it. Absolutely. And it showed on stage last night that Tim Walls has done.
Starting point is 00:11:56 one interview with Kamala Harris, and it was a very powder puff CNN sit-down interview. And J.D. Vance has been thrown out there, and you take all the press that you can. If it's on a tarmac, if it's a sit-down interview, we don't care. We're going to push him out in front of the American people, and you are going to clearly articulate our vision. But the leftists, they have. They've gone so far down the rap. You just look at it and you say, where do they even start to come back from this and get? them back in the center. I think that it's too far gone for the leftists that are truly believing that the abortion is the number one issue and they will not budge from that. So what do you do
Starting point is 00:12:40 with the rest of America, the normies that are still out there that still say, you know what, I don't think that that's exactly the way that I want to go. Well, I think J.D. Vance articulated that in a very clear, decisive manner last night. You're sending a, a, a, a, you're sending a a text to a friend and you have one clip to pick, you would pick the opening statement? The opening statement, yeah, and just the fact that he would come back and talk about the American dream a couple different times in that debate, because people need to feel that there is still some hope out there. They can't go about living their days with the doom and gloom that is hanging over their head. That's going to be there anyway. We need somebody that is
Starting point is 00:13:22 inspirational that can say we can get through this and get out of this and end up better on the other side. Let me just end this. Thank you. Thank you so much, Jill. Let me just end this segment with his closing statement, which is bookend the entire debate. Senator Vance, your closing statement. Well, I want to thank Governor Walts. You folks at CBS and of course the American people for tuning in this evening. And one of the issues we didn't talk about was internet. And I remember when I was being raised by my grandmother, when she didn't have enough money to turn on the heat some nights because Ohio gets pretty cold at night and because money was often very tight. And I believe, as a person who wants to be your next vice president, that we are a rich and prosperous enough country where every American, whether they're rich or poor, ought to be able to turn on their heat in the middle of a cold winter night, that's gotten more difficult, thanks to Kamala Harris's energy policies. I believe that whether you're rich or poor, you ought to be able to afford a nice meal for your family.
Starting point is 00:14:23 That's gotten harder because of Kamala Harris's policies. I believe that whether you're rich or poor, you ought to be able to afford to buy a house. You ought to be able to live in safe neighborhoods. You ought to not have your communities flooded with fentanyl, and that too has gotten harder because of Kamala Harris's policies. Now, I've been in politics long enough to do what Kamala Harris does when she stands before the American people and says that on day one, she's going to work on all these challenges I just listed. She's been the vice president for three and a half years. Day one was 1,400 days ago, and her policies have made these problems worse. Now, I believe that we have the most beautiful country in the world. I meet people on the campaign
Starting point is 00:15:04 trail who can't afford food, but have the grace and generosity to ask me how I'm doing and to tell me they're praying for my family. What that has taught me is that we have the greatest country, the most beautiful country, the most incredible people anywhere in the world. But they're not going to be able to achieve their full dreams with the broken leadership that we have in Washington. They're not going to be able to live their American dream if we do the same thing that we've been doing for the last three and a half years. We need change. We need a new direction. We need a president who has already done this once before and did it well. Please vote for Donald Trump. And whether you vote for me or vote for Tim Walz, I just want to say, I'm so, proud to be doing this and I'm rooting for you. God bless you and good night.
Starting point is 00:15:48 I make both those clips. I'd like to turn that into one clip and we'll post that so you can send that out. I'll tweet it. You've got to send that to your friends. Donald Trump, 2024. J.D. Vance, 2028. Dan is a semi-professional bodybuilder in New York. You know, Dan and I, you know, Dan, we've got a lot in common. Anyway, he's been suffering from shoulder pain for years due to that weight. lifting injury. You know, Stu, I mean, if I've had one weightlifting injury, I've had a thousand. You are, Mr. Jimrat.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Yeah. That's you. Anyway, he kept hearing me talk about relief factor on the radio, wondered if he could help him. Within a couple of weeks beginning of taking it, he said his pain went away. His mobility began to return. Dan got his life back. So now I'll see him again in those competitions. And that's a good try, Dan.
Starting point is 00:16:47 but, you know, when you're competing against me. Relief Factor is a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain by fighting inflammation, which is a source of most of the pain in our bodies and a lot of disease as well. It's 100% drug-free, developed by doctors to reduce or eliminate pain. Over a million people have tried Relief Factor's Quick Start. 70% of them have gone on to order it again. Give Relief Factor a try with their three-week quick start. It's 1995, less than a dollar a day.
Starting point is 00:17:12 See how it can help you turn back the clock on pain. Relieffactor.com. call 1-800 for relief. 1-800, the number four relief. Relieffactor.com. Now, back to the podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. We're thrilled to have Dinesh D'Souza joining us,
Starting point is 00:17:30 a best-selling author, award-winning filmmaker. His documentaries, 2016, Obama's America, and then America, Imagine a World Without Her, some of the top-grossing political films of all time. He's got a new one coming out called vindicating Trump.
Starting point is 00:17:48 We're going to get into that in just a second. Let's first start with the debate last night. Yeah, I thought J.D. was terrific. He, well, he vindicated Trump in his own distinctive. And the first time, I think, anybody has done that really well. Yeah, and he almost vindicated the virtues of an Ivy League education. Of course, of course, Tim Wall. False boasts that no one he's ever taught has gone to an Ivy League school.
Starting point is 00:18:20 That's not something a teacher should say. He takes a certain pride in the lack of achievement of his. I've raised a bunch of kids. I taught them and they've all gone on to, well, be farmers and plumbers, which is totally fine, but a teacher should be like, you know, and I really help drive somebody to really go on and do something just amazing that they thought they couldn't do. Absolutely. I mean, the thing about Walts is he's conveying a certain, I guess they brought him on to make a left-wing populism, to counter J.D.'s appeal to like the white working class. But I'm really not sure that that's Walts' appeal at all.
Starting point is 00:19:03 What is his appeal? Well, it's a kind of Oshuck's goofballism, which is a little unbecoming the way I see it. I mean, I don't know if you saw that little scene where he's on the football field, he sees a mask. and he just goes into a massive sports routine. He does the victory sign. He jumps up and down. He hugs the mascot. And you have to remind yourself, this is a 60-year-old man. The emotionalism is out of proportion with the event.
Starting point is 00:19:30 And it's that exaggerated mannerism. I think there's a, you know, we all know there's a kind of fake-facery with Kamala Harris. I think there's a different kind of artificiality of fakery with Tim Walts. The thing about J.D. Vance and Trump, by contrast, is authenticity. I mean, they're both the real deal. They are. Right? J.D. came out from the kind of the dregs of society as he writes himself.
Starting point is 00:19:55 He said twice, I'm from middle class. No, he's not. No. He's from low class. And not only that, but it's in a kind of way worse because it's one thing to grow up in poverty, right? They're Indians who grew up in the slums. Yeah. But you take a slum kid and you give him opportunity and he'll thrive.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Why? Because he's actually got a family. He's got a kind of a social structure even in the slum. He's just missing opportunity. With J.D. Manse, if you read about his family, his grandmother, sitting his grandfather on fire. You know, this is the cultural dysfunctionality. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Mirror is anything you'd find in a barrio or in a ghetto. Yeah. I mean, is mama addicted to heroin? How many people do you know that grew up like that that have achieved just breaking that cycle? Just breaking that cycle is a huge thing. victory. Going on and being a vice presidential candidate who held his own like he did last night, that is only in America, literally only in America. You know, it's funny he has the Indian wife. I had him on my podcast, and my name, Dinesh has said Dinesh in America, but in India it said a little
Starting point is 00:21:01 differently. It's actually said more like the niche, right? So anyway, J.D. comes on, he goes, hello, Deneish. And it kind of startled me, but then I remembered he got it from Usha. He probably said, call him the niche, you know. And so I, I, he comes on. And so I, he comes on. And so I, chuckled out loud. So J.D. has this kind of wonderful life story of moving in a way from kind of rural Appalachia into a certain cosmopolitanism and a certain urbane style, which is very fact-driven, very measured. So I thought he was very effective. So I think he was most effective last night at giving people who might want to vote for Donald Trump but are just a little hesitant, you know, I don't know. I thought he made it okay to vote for Donald Trump for those people
Starting point is 00:21:50 who are edgy about it. You know what I mean? We also can't forget that Trump is well into his 70s. And I think people who are voting for Trump have to look a little bit beyond Trump. And so, JD has to make people comfortable that, hey, you know what? If something happens to Trump and I'm in the saddle, I'm going to be fine. And I think he did do that last night. And it was, I mean, it shows Donald Trump is not planning on, you know, becoming king forever, because that is clearly a successor. He picked a successor. Yeah. And I think also Trump dispel the idea, which was kind of circulating with Mike Pence, that
Starting point is 00:22:24 somehow Trump is this alpha male, and he picks people who are very passive, people who will never steal the limelight, people who are not smarter than he is. But JD is, in a way, competitive on all those fronts. And Trump appears to be very comfortable in picking a guy like JD. So I think it says a lot about Trump. as well as about JD. He really likes. He likes J.D.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Let me take that same kind of path of making it okay to vote for Donald Trump. I have been saying for a while, I'm so glad you're doing this. Somebody has to compile all of the things that have been said about Donald Trump and compare it to what the truth is now that we can prove all of the things that are true. I just saw Leslie Stahl in 60 minutes back in 20, I don't know, 2017 or some time and they were talking about his
Starting point is 00:23:19 Russian collusion and he said Leslie, that's not true and they are, they bugged my office. They were spying on and she just became indignant. That's not true. There's no evidence of that.
Starting point is 00:23:35 Well, now we know the evidence. So the Vind of vindication of Trump is so important. And the vindication of Trump is important because Trump himself does his own thing. There's a certain appealing schtick. Trump is a bit of a stand-up comedian. Of course, in the two assassination attempts, he showed, I think, a sublime level of courage. Oh, yeah. And I don't know anyone alive who would respond to either assassination attempt that way. Not to mention, by the way, the 91 criminal charges, think of it. Any other Republican facing two criminal charges would probably have exited the field. Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:09 may never be heard from again. And Trump not only survives and endures, he is such a, he does so much legal rope a dope, he thwarts all the gag orders. You know, he comes right out of the courtroom and starts speaking and taking on the judge. So his ability to forge ahead is sort of legendary. It is. Now, that being said, when I remember flashing back to the Reagan days, Reagan would stand up and make the case for himself. Here are the reasons to vote for me. Trump does not do that. And that's why this film, Vindicating Trump, it's in theaters now, by the way, 800 and some theaters around the country, and I have a book of the same title coming out in about a week. Vindicatingtrump.com, if I can give the website, type in your city or your town, and boom,
Starting point is 00:24:53 the theaters will pop right up. So this has been, I think, an exciting project, because, like you say, we can now look back and see all the ways in which devious things were done and present it as true. Here's a small example. Fauci recently comes out and says, you know that six-foot social distancing rule, there were no studies behind that. There was no science. All the follow, the science was made up. The rule was made up.
Starting point is 00:25:19 But then I always think to myself, why? Why did you make up that rule? And the answer, I think, is obvious. And that is, if people have to be six feet apart from each other, you can't have a normal election. Because in a normal election, people stand in line to vote. So the justification for mailing out millions of ballots, mail-in-drop boxes, changing all the rules, all of this was connected in some way to the social distancing that was presented as something that was a mandate,
Starting point is 00:25:49 but as it turns out, was a conjecture. Have we even begun to turn the corner on any of this? I mean, I'm seeing, like, I think Tulsi Cabbard, RFK Jr., his running mate, who is, you know, now she's even saying, no, the election was stolen in 2020. She said, I didn't believe it before. I believe it now because I've seen the inner workings of the Democratic Party. This is the point.
Starting point is 00:26:18 I think there's been a real, certainly a breakthrough in people grasping how deep this problem lies. In fact, I think we have to give a little bit of rope to Trump in the sense that some of the mistakes that Trump made. Yeah. He came in from the outside. I think Trump thought, we know the media's left wing, we know that Hollywood's left wing, but is the FBI left wing?
Starting point is 00:26:39 The CIA, the military, really? I think Trump thought if I bring in a general, John Kelly, this guy's going to do what I say. He'll get it done. So the idea that the guys in the lab coats at the CDC and the NIH were ideological, were corrupt, were lying. I don't think that crossed his mind. Yesterday, a couple days ago, I saw George Conway raging on one of these shows, And he was saying, you know, Trump is such a narcissist.
Starting point is 00:27:03 He only cares about himself. You know, he doesn't care about people. He doesn't care about the country. And I'm thinking to myself, my mind flashback to COVID. And I thought, here's Trump. In March of 2020, he's got a roaring economy, which is going to carry him on his little surfboard right across the finish line. And then the people in the white coats come to him and say, you got to shut it down.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Right. Now, if Trump only cared about himself, he'd be like, I don't care. Let the pandemic raid. That's not my problem. I want to get across the finish line. That's my goal. But no, Trump immediately goes, you know what? I actually know that I'm killing the golden goose that I created and I'm going to jeopardize my own chance of re-election.
Starting point is 00:27:43 And he did it. And he did it more effectively than what they're saying now. He went beyond what they were saying. They were saying, you know, the left was saying at first, you know, he's a racist. And he's like, I'm shutting it down. I'm shutting it down because this is the advice. That is not remembered either. No, no.
Starting point is 00:28:06 And the achievement was that Trump said, look, we need to fight this and we need to fight this with science. And so he deployed the effort to try to find a vaccine. Now, apparently they found a vaccine that reduces the severity, but then they started lying about that, right? You take the vaccine. This is Rochelle Walensky. You can't get COVID. You can't give away. Give COVID.
Starting point is 00:28:29 the disinformation was coming from the government. That's the whole point. So when Tim Wall stands up last night, he goes, well, you can't shout fire in a crowded theater. We're not talking about shouting fire in the crowded theater. We're talking about the government censoring critics who are saying truthful things in response to the government's own lies. We're not.
Starting point is 00:28:50 The theater already burnt down. We're outside saying, who started the fire? It appears maybe the firemen were involved. That's the difference. And that's when free speech must happen, must happen. I think the key thing I'm trying to do here with Trump is answer on passant along the way, the Republican who says something like this, I don't like Trump, but I like his policies. Or they'll say, you know, he needs to shut his mouth or Dinesh tell him to stop posting on social media.
Starting point is 00:29:18 So there's a certain idea out there that we need a new and different Trump, a kind of a reformed Trump. We need to remake Trump. But my point is that a lot of Trump's greatest qualities, come out of the same personality that is over the top. I mean, Trump is obviously, you know, he's a salesman, and he'll say things like, for him, the crowd isn't just big. It has to be the biggest crowd ever. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Right. The burgers in Marlaugelago aren't just good. They're like the best burgers ever made. You know, that's Trump. And everyone knows that. Even his dictator for a day is Trumpian schick. Yeah. Now, I'm not a dictator, but maybe for one day, you know,
Starting point is 00:29:54 this is like stand-up comedy and the left pretends to take it seriously. I think that's the key point. They pretend that he poses this severe threat. Deep down, they know he doesn't. But deep down, they also do fear him like they don't fear any other Republican. I've only got about 40 seconds. Tell me about the idea of 7% in the latest polling coming out of Pennsylvania. There's a seven point spread between people who say they're going to vote for Trump
Starting point is 00:30:24 and people who say, I know Trump and his. His policies are better for me economically and for my life. What's that gap? And does that go away? Do those 7% actually walk in and vote for Trump? Yeah. I think if the American people could see there's a dimension of Trump, he's a genuinely nice guy. So, for example, he's famously egotistical in public, right?
Starting point is 00:30:52 He loves praise. In private, he's not. He's actually self-deprecating and he shows great curiosity. about people. He also is very, he has a certain generosity of spirit. And all of this is evident to people who are around him. I try how the centerpiece of this film is a one-on-one with Trump. And I try to bring out that private dimension of Trump. Yes. Which I think will give people a great deal of not just comfort, but enthusiasm in supporting him. Okay. You can find out where this is playing near you. Just go to vindicating trump. Vindicatingtrum.com. That's the website.
Starting point is 00:31:28 And find it wherever you can. Make sure you bring some friends with you. Vindicatingtrump.com. Also, we'll have you back when the book comes out. Thank you, Danesh. Thank you. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. The lovely and talented Chip Roy is with us now.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Hello, Chip. Good morning, Glenn. How are you, brother? I am really good. I wish people were taking the crisis. that we are facing on the border. More seriously, I think it's getting better, but I don't think people understand
Starting point is 00:32:11 what we are actually facing. And the state of Texas came out and called a spade a spade. The Venezuelan gang has now been by Texas called what it is, a terrorist organization. Well, you know, look, I do think the election season, J.D. Vance last night, broadly speaking, where we've been trying to drive the message over the last few years is taking root. It's taken time. We obviously have a media that doesn't
Starting point is 00:32:38 want to help. They covered up. They, you know, they basically make excuses for an administration that is purposely abusing our borders to achieve their political aims. And in the process, they are endangering Americans. Americans are dying and migrants are getting abused. J.D. handled that very well, pushing back on that last night. I know we'll talk about the debate in the minute. But on the issue, it's really important because this comes up a lot. I know you get this a lot as a man of faith. We get pushed back on it, saying it is unchristian-like, right? That is that we are not being compassionate. You hear the Pope out there talking about this. If we want to have our borders be secure and stop the flow of legal immigration, I think that
Starting point is 00:33:21 is exactly backwards. The Bible is very specific about sovereignty, about God's plan, about the nations. You know, you don't look at any further than the history of Israel itself and how they dealt with boundaries, and there's plenty of scripture recognizing sovereignty in God's plans. But importantly, it is inherently unchristian and uncompassionate to allow these children to be abused, allow people to be abused, be put in harm's way, to be used by the cartels, to be dead, put in slave labor, or they put in the sex trafficking trade, to have 320,000 kids get misplaced by our bureaucratic government who's being supposedly compassionate. It's ridiculous. We need to stand up for a sovereign nation because we have a right to do so.
Starting point is 00:34:06 Elon Musk says this very well. Are you truly going to invite 7.7 billion people on this planet to come join the 300 million-plus Americans and say that we don't have borders? Well, then we don't have a nation. It just defies common sense. So the rule of law matters, and this is the last point I'll say. The rule of law matters for the very people that are attracted to come here. Because if we don't have the rule of law, if we don't have a nation, then they have no place to
Starting point is 00:34:32 go. That the huddled masses have no place to long for and strive for. And then we weaken the rest of the world. We weaken the Western Hemisphere. We empower our enemies. And you have 35,000 Chinese nationals coming here. You have all of these terrorist organizations. You point out the Venezuelan gangs. They're real. I went out to Aurora, Colorado. I went and met with the residents of those apartments who lost their ability to have a home, who didn't have a manager on site. Venezuelan gangs were changing the locks. This is all real. It's true. And thankfully, people are awake. up. Some of us been screaming this for five years, so many Congress. Finally,
Starting point is 00:35:07 I think the American people are finally waking up. So tonight on the TV show, I'm exposing some of the things that are happening overseas where they're training for, you know, activities here in the United States, you know, in places like Iran.
Starting point is 00:35:23 We are in serious trouble. Our Department of Homeland Security has said, you know, that it's only a matter of time now and all of the lights are flashing red. I'm surprised we haven't been hit yet, but I would expect one after the election, or shortly before the election. What is it going to take for people to understand this is not going to get better unless you make a massive change in
Starting point is 00:35:58 leadership. Well, I hope people are starting to see that. You know, what we see right now is the destruction of America. Nothing less than that. And I think it's really important. And I think I'm in a unique position to make that point. You no doubt have listeners who are, have long, fully supported President Trump, maybe a few that were, no, I support DeSantis, but now they're back to Trump summer. I was out there advocating Ronda Sanders. He's a good friend and a good man. And, and I very much respect him. I can't overstate how critical it is and important it is that Donald Trump get elected on November 5th. I cannot overstate that.
Starting point is 00:36:40 If we don't get him elected, I don't believe the republic can survive. I don't think it is any, I don't think that's hyperbole, Glenn. Like, we live in a world where people do this stuff for clicks. They do this stuff and they say outrageous things. I don't like making statements like that. I believe in our country. Our country turns 250 years old in a year, in, in, in, uh, 226 in July 2nd when we voted to break away from England.
Starting point is 00:37:09 I believe in the values of this country and the greatness of so many Americans, but this administration, the current radical progressive Democrat regime, have completely disintegrated our safety, security, and culture. They've invited masses and. of people in our country, released known criminals, known murderers. Think about that. You saw that data that was released last week with the 13,000, 15,000 known murders and whatever. We've known this. We finally get a report from the administration confirming it. We've known it because you can see it with your own eyes. Lake and Riley's family knows it. Jocelyn Nungary's beautiful
Starting point is 00:37:49 mom Alexis Nungary knows it. Kayla Hamilton's family knows it. Rachel Morin's family knows it. do I need to keep going down the list? That's what they're doing to us. So to take it back, you ask the question, what will it take? I think we're seeing what it will take. I hope in real time. But we're going to have to show up on November 5th, and as President Trump says, make it too big to rig. So let me ask you that question.
Starting point is 00:38:17 FEMA doesn't seem to be pulling out all of the stops to help the people in Appalachia. that is Trump country. I don't know. Who is working on making sure that the people who don't have roads, cars, electricity, are in five weeks going to be able to pull a lever for whoever they want to vote for. Are we doing anything about that? Well, without getting into specifics, with some good friends of mine in North Carolina,
Starting point is 00:38:51 I've been having conversations with about that very point, ensuring that we're able to get all of the people who want to have a say in their elections and should have a say in their elections despite the absolute tragedy that has occurred in the western part of North Carolina. And the eastern part of Tennessee, don't want to forget that as well. Oh, I know. It's Appalachia. And I know you don't. I just meant, you know, broadly, we all keep talking about North Carolina and, you know, parts of Georgia,
Starting point is 00:39:14 parts of Tennessee, they're all got to hit hard. And but to your point, yes, some conversations are going on to make sure. We try to focus on that. I've had some good conversations with the national GOP. There's a limit to what you can do to some degree, right? It's local, you know, local registrars, and they have to figure out how to get it done. Obviously, right now we're trying to get, you know,
Starting point is 00:39:34 Elon, God bless him, is donating Starlink. We're trying to get that stuff out. FEMA's nowhere to be found. The FCC and all of the federal government that walked away from allowing Starlink to be given out to increase broadband. Instead, sitting around, and now these people don't have anything. So Elon, others, private sector, people are stepping up.
Starting point is 00:39:51 And I will say that's one thing, you know, go back to the Cajun Navy from a few years back, right? Yeah. You know, came over to help during the floods and the hurricanes. My friend Corey Mills down at Florida, he's working with the private sectors and some guys that are, you know, ex-military. They're flying in, flying helicopters, and they're just sticking their middle finger up to the bureaucracy, to the federal government and local government, by the way, that wants to get in the way of it all. That's the way we save our country. It's not getting in this weird, like, you know, internets in battles in D.C. I do my best up here to try to basically, the way some of my friends put it in,
Starting point is 00:40:25 we're kind of profits to a degree. We have to like kind of go look at what's going on, send up the warning signals. You know, I wrote a letter in April about the George Soros radio issue because I saw it coming. That's our job, right? As you look out, you go put that stuff out there and you try to highlight for the people so we can raise the issue because like it or not, I'm one 435th of one half of one third of this crap. hole and we have to build numbers. And the American people in our system are the ones that help us build the numbers. So that's, you know, what we try to do. I got off target. Sorry. No, that's,
Starting point is 00:41:00 that's fine. Are we going to actually look into the funding of those George Soros funders? Yeah, I mean, we're, you know, we're looking into it. Like I said, I rose the issue up, got some committee folks looking at it. I'm trying to figure there's some lawsuits, you know, some of our friends in America First legal. There's going to be, I think, some radio stations and some others that would have standing. We're trying to figure out who would have standing. I don't have standing. I don't think. We're trying to figure that out how we can at least litigate it to try to stop it because what they're doing is unprecedented. It's unlawful, we believe. Do I have standing? Because I'm on some of those stations. Do I have standing? You may be, and you might
Starting point is 00:41:38 need to have that conversation. I'm happy. Let's have that conversation. You might have standing because we need to elevate that issue. It's a huge, huge issue. You all, you know better than I do. and so, you know, look, I was talking to Brendan Carr and the FCC. He's been one of the leaders on this. I'm sure you'd follow it out there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And Brennan, he's been putting this out there. I said, dude, what do we do?
Starting point is 00:41:58 This guy, we've got to win in November because we're outvoted. You know, they lost three to two. It was a bad decision, but that's what happens. It's like the people that run FERC. It's like the people that run everything else. If we don't win in November, back to the point, you know, five minutes ago, we lose the country. Yeah. That's what's at stake. It's things like this, the FCC.
Starting point is 00:42:15 Yeah. Tulsi Gabbard said to me last night, I was talking to her after the debate, and she said, Glenn, this is all about freedom of speech. The last thing that J.D. Vance said in the debate was this is about freedom of speech. And it is. We are going to lose freedom of speech if they are re-elected to another term. And we are going to lose our very wet on our second amendment. We're going to be attacked on all of the things upon which our now. nation was founded. These rights come from our creator. They are our rights. The government that was created by the founders recognized those rights. They didn't give us those rights. We have to flex our
Starting point is 00:42:59 muscle as people who, as the declaration lists out, as Jefferson and to some degree some help from Adams and Franklin, as those guys wrote that out, it was very clear what they meant, okay? And we are supposed to live freely. And we need this government to reflect that. because we love our country, we look at the flag with pride, we look at the history and all that it stood for, I believe we can take it back. But let's remember, we have a right to live free. That's the bottom line. That's what it actually boils down to at the end. And so this election is going to decide whether or not these 50 sovereign nation, this election, is going to decide that. Again, I don't like engaging hyperbole. But when the founders talk about the right to pursue happiness,
Starting point is 00:43:57 we've got to pursue happiness. I want it to be with this country. We better win in November to make that happen. Okay. Chip, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. God bless you. There's something else here now.
